Elf, who made him the gym leader?

"The legendary phantom Pokémon Machato!"

Mikri looked at this gray-black little guy. Judging from the appearance alone, the little one of Machado is quite cute, even because of its big, hollow eyes and bulging belly. It gives people a very cute feeling.

But...this is a fantasy Pokémon!

And it is also a fantasy Pokémon known as the 'Guide of Shadows'.

"It just seems like I've gained a little weight."

After looking at it for a while, Mikri's eyes looked a little strange.

Because the belly of this Mashado is a bit 'protruding', very similar to those office workers who have a big belly after middle age.

Is this normal?

Mikri didn't know, after all, he had never seen other Machado.

"To be placed fourth by Gu Xin, this Marshado should be very strong."

Zhulan's eyes flashed slightly. As we all know, except for special circumstances, Gu Xin usually arranges the order of appearance from weak to strong in battles.

"That's right, Mashado is very powerful. It's even stronger than the flame bird Zeraora and the others."

Lillie smiled, but then she felt cutely annoyed.

"But Mashado is a bit greedy. If my brother hadn't strictly limited the number of snacks he could eat, emmm... Mashado would have become just like Mew."

Lillie said helplessly that she actually liked cute Pokémon like Marshado, especially Marshado's shy character, which made Lillie and her little sister even more cute.

But it’s worth mentioning that Mashado is very greedy! Especially since it always likes to hide snacks in the shadows and eat them secretly.

As a result, it has a strong beer belly at a young age. Thanks to Gu Xin's fond memory of a certain 'pig', he is still relatively 'cold' towards Marchado.

Otherwise, Ma Shaduo will really eat up and become a little fat man.

"Oh? What's wrong with Mengmeng?" Hearing this, Mi Keli was stunned and very curious.

"Little Dream..." Lillie's pretty face was extremely strange, and she didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

"Rotom, could you please introduce Marshado?" Yeci was very polite to the Rotom illustrated book.

"Okay, Lotto~" Rotom has always liked such polite people.

‘Dip~Mashado, fighting, ghost-type, shadow-dwelling Pokémon

Characteristics: Technical expert

Special moves: Shadow stealing, close combat, surprise attack, sucking punch, imitation, power...

Introduction: Can sneak into the opponent's shadow, imitate the opponent's movements and strength, and become stronger than the original in the process of imitation. ’

It's a bit awesome.

Yeci looked at the beer-bellied Mashado with great brilliance, sneaking into the opponent's shadow to imitate the opponent, and then surpassing the original figure?

This introduces something.

On the field.

"Masha is so..."

Dawu looked at the cute little guy opposite him carefully. Gu Xin had a Mashado, and there had been some rumors about it.

The attributes are not at a disadvantage, ghosts can overcome super powers, but super powers can also restrain fighting.

In this case, the two sides are restraining each other, and it all depends on the performance and strength of both sides, but Daigo still has confidence in his flashing super Metagross.

After Mega Evolution, Metagross' power is no worse than that of ordinary legendary Pokémon!

"Metrogross, bullet punch!"

Daigo gave the decisive order and took the lead in launching the offensive.

The flashing super Metagross roared, and rushed towards Marshado with all four arms raised. It was very fast with the blessing of preemptive skills.

"Raid."

Marshado leaned down slightly, a black light flashed in his eyes, and his body completely turned into a gray-black shadow and shot towards the super Metagross, launching an evil preemptive attack.

It was so fast that only a gray-black afterimage could be seen!

Dawu's pupils condensed slightly, it was really fast!

but……

boom!

There was a sudden explosion, which was the invisible rock being triggered by the sprinting Mashado.

The invisible rock exploded, and Machado was pushed back by the explosion with a groan, and the attack was interrupted.

Marshado turned over and landed on the ground to stabilize his body. The next moment, a huge black shadow enveloped Marshado.

Marshado raised his head, and what came into view was the bullet punch swung by the Super Metagross.

Bang bang bang!

The bullet punch was as fast as a bullet, and the shadows of the fists were flying. Machado only had time to raise his arms in front of him to block it.

The dense bullet punches continuously hit Marshado's arms, and the huge force caused Marshado's body to be knocked back and slide uncontrollably.

With the last heavy punch, Marchado was directly knocked away, but the flexible Marchado turned over to relieve the force and fell to his knees.

"Good bullet punch." Guxin commented.

Marshado stood up, reached out and patted the dust on his stomach, and looked at Metagross with his empty orange eyes without any ripples.

"Is it because I was being defended?"

Daigo couldn't help but frown when he saw that Marshado seemed to be completely uninjured.

The bullet punch of the steel type is indeed not very powerful, but the attack of Metagross is powerful, and the characteristic of Metagross is hard claws, which is a characteristic that can increase the power of contact moves.

Even if Mashado blocked his arms to avoid being hit from the front, he shouldn't have such a calm and indifferent attitude, right?

"My Marshado, logically speaking, is much more resistant to beatings than the normal Marshado."

Gu Xin spread his hands and said helplessly, after all, this belly is not for nothing.

"...?" Dawu was stunned, what do you mean?

Mashado tilted his head, his innocent and cute expression seemed to express that he didn't understand what his trainer was saying at all.

"Bullet punch!"

Daigo was too lazy to think about it, and after thinking for a while, he launched an attack again.

After all, Mega Metagross's strength lies in its powerful close combat. Only in close combat can Mega Metagross exert its combat power.

Mega Metagross rushed over again.

"The same move can't work on me twice." Gusin smiled.

"Machado." Gusin called Machado.

Machado looked up at the Mega Metagross that was rushing at him. Just as Mega Metagross's bullet punch was swung at it, Machado's body quickly melted and disappeared into the shadow.

Having lost its target, Mega Metagross was a little at a loss for a moment.

"Use Earthquake on the ground... Wait! Metagross, get out of the way!"

Daigo was not panicked. He had rich combat experience and understood that some ghost-type Pokémon had the ability to transform into shadows.

For example, Gengar was like this.

But this transformation into a shadow does not mean that it can be immune to attacks. To put it bluntly, it is to melt into the ground. As long as you use Earthquake on the ground, the earthquake can still shake the opponent.

But soon Daigo found something wrong. The shadow that Machado had transformed into not only did not disappear, but was expanding rapidly! Daigo's face changed, something was wrong! When Mega Metagross heard Daigo's words, it immediately retreated and raised itself up, wanting to leave the spot. "It reacted quickly, but it was too late." Gusin glanced at the enlarged shadow. "Shadow Steal." Boom! The next moment, a huge column of shadow energy shot up into the sky. Machado's exclusive skill, Shadow Steal! A huge amount of shadow energy poured out crazily, completely covering the Mega Metagross that had no time to retreat, and madly impacted it. The dark energy rose straight up like a fountain, and the dim shadow energy darkened the entire gym. Huge orange pupils appeared on the surface of the shadow energy, empty, weird, and quiet, which made people's scalps numb. Daigo pursed his lips tightly, looking at the terrifying shadow energy column, and was careless! The whole gym was quiet at this moment, with only the crazy venting of Shadow Steal and the low roar of Mega Metagross.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The energy of Shadow Steal finally gradually dissipated, and Mega Metagross's huge body fell down.

Taking this restrained Shadow Steal completely was also a heavy blow to Mega Metagross.

After all, the ghost-type Shadow Steal restrains it.

The shadow condensed again and transformed into Machado, still with such a cute expression.

"Shadow Ball."

Gusin ordered to pursue.

Machado slightly turned sideways and raised his right arm, and his right hand held a dark energy ball and condensed it, and quickly shot it at Mega Metagross.

Ghost-type Shadow Ball.

"Hold it." Daigo said in a deep voice.

Mega Metagross reluctantly condensed a barrier to block this shadow ball.

The special defense of Mega Metagross is actually quite good, but there is no need to withstand the shadow ball that can counter it. Moreover, Daigo is not sure about the strength of Machado's special attack, so it is safest to defend with defense.

The defense barrier dissipated, and Mega Metagross adjusted its state and floated up again, but when it looked forward, Machado was no longer in front of it.

"Metagross, behind!"

Daigo suddenly reminded Mega Metagross.

A deep shadow crack opened behind Mega Metagross, and Machado appeared from it, and his fist surrounded by ghost light swung fiercely at Mega Metagross.

Ghost-type Sub-spirit Surprise Attack!

Mega Metagross reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and raised two arms to resist.

Bang!

The Sub-spirit Surprise Attack hit Mega Metagross's arm fiercely, and Mega Metagross groaned and its whole body was knocked back.

Daigo's brows were still furrowed when he saw this, and there was no doubt that Machado was very powerful.

"Shadow Fist."

Guxin's attack was not going to stop at all.

Mashado let out a low roar and rushed forward again, with dark energy lingering on his small fist.

But just after rushing out two steps, a visible invisible rock was triggered and then exploded directly.

Unprepared, Mashado was blown back by the invisible rock.

"Mind Hammer!" Daigo immediately seized the opportunity.

The Mega Metagross stabilized its body and a colorful light flashed on its body, rushing towards Mashado instead.

And Mashado had just stood firm at this moment.

"Get out of the way." Guxin's lips slightly raised.

Mashado stepped on the ground with his right foot to stabilize his body, and his empty orange eyes stared at the attacking Mega Metagross.

The gray-black half of his body melted into a shadow like a stream of water, and Mashado, who was suddenly much shorter, had his mind hammer pass over his head.

Seeing this, Daigo pursed his lips tightly, and he could still do this!

"Shadow Fist!"

After dodging the hammer of mind, Machado gathered his whole body again, turned around and jumped towards the Mega Metagross with his right fist.

Bang!

The shadow fist hit the back of the Mega Metagross fiercely, and the Mega Metagross roared in pain.

The power of the shadow fist is not actually very high, but Machado has the characteristics of a skilled expert.

Under the characteristics of a skilled expert, the power of the shadow fist is directly increased by 50%! In this way, the power of the shadow fist is very strong.

And Machado, who was hit once, did not retreat at all, and swung the left hand shadow fist fiercely again.

The Mega Metagross turned halfway around, and raised one of its upper arms to block.

Bang!

The Shadow Punch hit the arm of Metagross hard, and a huge force came, and the arm pressing down on Metagross hit the body.

Metagross' body was smashed down uncontrollably, and Metagross roared angrily.

"Metrogross!" Dawu shouted in a deep voice.

Metagross endured the pain, and the two arms below him lit up with metallic light, smashing through the air and hitting Marchado.

Comet fist of steel type!

This sudden counterattack was impossible for Mashado, who had just finished the attack, to avoid it!

Daigo firmly believed that situations like this were what he was best at, relying on Metagross' strong defense and endurance to defend and counterattack.

"Vicious pursuit." Gu Xin grinned.

Marshado's emotionless, empty eyes reflected the two comet punches from Metagross.

The small body twisted backwards and turned sideways, and with everyone's shocked expressions, it passed through the middle of the two comet fists.

He actually dodged it! Daigo's pupils shrank suddenly.

His right foot lit up with a black light, and Mashado turned his body sideways and continued to use force, and kicked the Super Metagross head hard.

The vicious pursuit of the evil element!

The vicious pursuit of the evil element will also be more powerful with the characteristics of a technical master.

Bang!

With a dull sound, the Super Metagross finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell completely to the ground.

"Shadow Thief."

The moment Machado hit the ground, he melted into a shadow. The shadow expanded rapidly, and a dark shadow energy rose into the sky, completely covering the super Metagross.

Boom!

The shadow steal exploded, and the tyrannical air waves swept and spread, sporadic shadow energy overflowed, and the black shadow squirmed and gathered together as if it were alive, transforming into the appearance of Marchado again.

In front of Machado, the Flashing Metagross had already exited its super-evolved form and fell into a coma.

Dawu silently looked at the figure of the flashing Metagross, silent, and even his breath became sluggish for a while.

This is his ace Metagross...

"Metrogross loses the ability to fight, and Marshado wins."

Xiao Lan announced the result of the battle.

Marchado turned and tilted his head to look at Gu Xin, patting his belly as if to express something.

Gu Xin glared at Marchado angrily, and Marchado's big orange eyes revealed aggrieved emotions, and he pursed his lips.

hateful! This stingy trainer, who sweated and fought hard for him, was not even willing to give me a piece of cake.

And the spectator seats at this moment.

"Isn't this too strong?" Mi Keli was shocked.

That was Daigo’s shiny super Metagross, but this cute and chubby-looking Machado actually defeated it just like that!

"It's amazing~" Yeci was also amazed.

This is still under the unfavorable conditions of the invisible rock on the field. If there is no invisible rock, maybe Marshado can defeat the Flash Super Metagross without being injured.

"There is a part of the reason why Daigo doesn't understand Mashado, but more of it is because of the strength of Mashado itself."

Zhulan was very emotional. This battle was actually very similar to the previous battle between Guxin's Flash Koga Ninja and Cattleya's Super Metagross.

They all used flexible and agile body movements to fight against the super metal monster, and the effect was indeed very good.

Although Metagross has the preemptive skill of Bullet Punch, which can quickly close the distance with the opponent, Metagross itself is actually not very fast, which is the only weakness of Metagross.

But this does not mean that Metagross' reaction is slow, and because of its outstanding physical defense and excellent special defense, Metagross is extremely good at defensive counterattacks.

The active one means that if you hit me, it doesn't hurt, but I can beat you to a semi-crippling state with one punch.

"Liliae, is there a legend stronger than Machado here in Guxin? You should understand what I mean."

Mikri suddenly remembered something and asked Lillie.

"Let me think about it."

Lillie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, she nodded her chin and thought for a while.

She knew what Mikri meant, and she was asking Gu Xin if he had any normal legendary Pokémon that was stronger than Machado.

"There are still people who are stronger than Masha. The Lightning Bird is the Lightning Bird from Kanto, not the one in Galar form."

"Emmm... there are also Momo, Frozen, Reggie Ellechi, and Genesect."

"Ah? What about the strongest one?" Mi Keli's eyes widened. So many?

"It must be Takumi." Lillie said matter-of-factly.
