Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

Bear

Just before Infight was released, Bashao had activated Endure.Due to the effect, my strength stopped at the last moment, and I was able to regain my footing after receiving Infight.

"Basamo, your defensive skills are immature. So if you engage in close combat, you may not be able to win yet. So dare to create a gap somewhere. I will try my best to get there. But once you create this The gap, just live with it. I know you're not good at taking it. But for me and my friends, I want you to beat your first opponent."

With a firm will, there was a hint of uneasiness in his straight eyes.

This is what my trusted coach told me.Bashamo withstood Gangkazaru's attack with all his strength. If he couldn't bear it here, he didn't know how long he would have to bear it.

What I can do as a vanguard is to beat the opponent's vanguard here.To prove that what Keim had done was not in vain, Basamo poured his soul into the hit and released it.

"revival!"

Gangazaru couldn't escape the shock of Civil War and Baxamo's added agility from two nitro charges.

Basamo's full blow with powerful footsteps accurately pierced Horkazaru's body.

The blown snake rolled on the field and finally stopped in front of the sumo.By then, Gangkazaru had rolled his eyes and lost the ability to move.

"Haukazaru, can't fight!"

It was Cam who took the lead.

This move is a big deal for both Keim and Bashamo, as he has been leading the way.

However, it is also true that Basamo is almost unable to stand.I decided to put it back on the ball once and kill the next Pokémon.

"Come back, Basamo."

"Today is different, isn't it?"

"Really? Not much will change."

In fact, his technique and physical strength have not changed since the last fight.If anything has changed, it's the mentality.It's not a huge change, but it's definitely a change.

"Perhaps. But I think I might learn what I want to know about Power from Mr. Cam today."

“It’s an honor to hear something like this from a gym leader.”

"Then, I'll do my best! Please, Dokurog!"

"Please, Lucario."

Sumo uses Dokurog, and Kaim uses Lucario.Dokrog's poison moves are ineffective against steel-type Lucario, but Dokrog also has a fighting style, so the type compatibility is not bad.Lucario mainly uses combat skills, so the damage is halved.Is it disadvantageous if only type is considered?

"Change!"

Dokurog jumped up and swung his sword at Lucario.

Fighting-type moves are very effective against steel-type Lucario.Usually it's best to avoid this place, but Kem gave different directions.

"Flush"

Lucario lightly touched Dokurog's sword with the back of his hand, blocking it like flowing water.Accurately dealt with the arms that Dokulog swung one after another, and pierced Dokulog while taking advantage of the momentary gap of the big move.

Lucario thought he had already entered, but Dokurog pulled back with his flexible body to minimize the damage.

Dokuro opened a distance and walked out of Lucario's attack range.

"Sure enough, a direct hit is impossible, right?"

Lucario is good at sensing the waves and reading his opponent's movements.Therefore, the accuracy of the "finishing" technique is very high, and the duration is slightly longer than other Pokémon.In addition, it is also very good at defense, by reading the opponent's movements to change the attack trajectory and reduce damage.

On the other hand, since attack technology is still in the development stage, no matter how powerful the technology is, the conversion from defense to attack is still weak.Of course, this level of naivety won't be a gap unless it's at the gym leadership level.

"It doesn't matter. You can take a look. The other party's attacks always contain will. Feel it strongly."

"It won't be like before. It's going to be tough, Dokurog. I'm going to go there without any slack!"

"Lucario, Sword Dance"

"Dokrog, this is the wave of evil!"

"There's no need to dodge, it's a sword dance."

Although he was hit by Dokurog's evil wave, Dokurog's special attack was not high.In addition, since Lucario's evil-type moves are halved, the damage he takes is minimal.The evil waves can occasionally scare Pokémon, but Lucario will not be intimidated by spiritual power.

Lucario, whose attack power has been greatly increased by the sword dance, puts on a stance again.The waves released by Lucario's hands are as smooth as water, and powerful at the same time.

The ace of sumo wrestling, Lucario's waves are so powerful that they rise like flames.Lucario is Popo Pokémon, but everyone uses Popo in a different way.Sumo's Lucario strengthens his body and specializes in defeating his opponent, while Kaim's Lucario sees the opponent's movements and uses fluctuations to use his strength without wasting it.I was originally good at giving away, but then learned how to use waves and needed more sanding.

In fact, even now, he completely ignores Dokurog's attacks and is able to handle them without taking any damage.

But no matter how well you read, whether your body will keep up is another matter.If read, Suoo switches to a strategy of crushing it at a rate where it cannot respond even if it is read.

"Dokrog, cross cut!"

Lucario took a step back, avoiding the attack with both arms.

However, Dokurog continued to launch further attacks.Swords, palms, kicks, and attacks continued one after another, but the moves were gradually exhausted.Although there was no direct hit attack, it was reducing his physical strength bit by bit.

It wasn't a single shot, it was scraped little by little.Seems like a poison type.

Poison-type moves are ineffective against steel-type Lucario.However, this gradual scraping method is exactly the method commonly used by poisonous species.

"I don't want to participate in the fight. Lucario, you are so fast."

The moment Dokrog swung, Lucario moved at an invisible speed, attacking Dokrog continuously at this moment.Unable to cope with the sudden barrage of attacks, Dokurog lost his balance.

"That's it, an earthquake."

Taking advantage of this gap, Lucario accumulated strength and released it towards the ground.The shock wave approaches Dokurog.

However, Dokurog, who realized this due to Dokurog's characteristic "Danger Prediction", immediately jumped up, reducing the damage from the earthquake.

"That's it."

But Cam has learned that this will happen.Lucario's offensive skills are immature.Therefore, in addition to fighting skills, skills that do not match the type need a long time to accumulate power, and there is also a period of time before they are activated.No matter how well trained the Pokémon is, if you make moves that don't match your type, you need to charge, so there will be gaps, so there are some things that you can't do.

However, Lucario, who focuses on honing his defensive skills, has a larger attack range.Of course, it's not just Lucario, but also because Cam has been focusing on training fighting moves.

So, no matter how out of balance I was, I figured that if I used the trick with so many charges, I'd be able to avoid it, or at least reduce it, and Lucario had been told that in advance.

"Lucario has to protect anyone. Since the opponents are mainly fighters, it should be easy to do. But your defense is not solid. So I was caught off guard somewhere. At that point, anyone can use the earthquake come to attack."

Chapter 49 Surprise Attack

Lucario is still aware of his immaturity.I'm not ashamed of being weak, but I don't want to be weak any longer.Lucario also knew that Cam felt the same way.

He wants to grow in battle with a master who knows his weaknesses and prove his current strength.

That's why I can't lose this battle.

This thought made Lucario fluctuate even more.

Dokurog remained in the air as he jumped to soften the quake.Lucario threw the wave bomb with all his strength.

Wave bombs deal half damage to Dokurog.However, no matter how much the damage is halved, if you take damage multiple times, the damage will accumulate in your body.Also, he was attacking at a fairly fast speed in order to cut off Lucario, and his fatigue was also accumulating.My stamina has been reduced by almost 40%.

But so does Lucario.Lucario didn't hit directly, so the damage was suppressed, but the physical strength that was reduced was huge.Lucario, convinced that whoever hit him directly with the next blow would win, closed in on Dokurog.

Dokurog, who was directly hit by the wave bomb, wiped off the smoke of the wave bomb, and saw that Lucario had already approached him.

"Comet Fist!"

Lucario's Comet Punch hit directly.

Lucario was convinced that "I won".There is a response and no feeling of being blocked.Considering the attack power boost effect of Sword Dance, Dokurog was defeated.I think so.

"not yet!"

Dokurog's eyes are not dead.

"Change!"

Lucario, who firmly believed in victory, did not notice the signs for a long time, and the change hit his torso directly.Fighting moves are extremely effective against steel-type Lucario.

At the moment when his physical strength was completely exhausted, Lucario exhausted his last strength, and a comet fist blasted into Dokurog's body.It's not perfect in terms of strength, but Lucario and Dokrog fell at the same time, partly because of Dokrog's lower physical strength.

"Thank you for your efforts, Dokurog."

“Enough is enough. Well done Lucario.”

Put each other's Pokémon back in the ball.

Lucario may not be willing to beat him, but Dokurog's poison moves are very difficult to deal with, so even being able to trade off is within Keim's expectations as a game designer.

Now two or three.But Basamo didn't know how long he could fight because of the scars all over his body.Worst case scenario, Kym wins, but the way he wins doesn't feel very convincing to him.

It doesn't have to be as elegant as Sirona, but it doesn't have to be that scary either.However, since I admire that back, I wanted to win a fight that was as close to that fighting style as possible.This way I can finally have confidence in myself.I thought so.

"Why did you fail again?"

Something I kept saying to myself over and over again in my head.

"call"

The situation seemed favorable at first glance, but the only men Keim had left were Mookhawk and Blackie.With the exception of Mukhawk, Black is at a huge disadvantage against fighting opponents.It's hard to say this is a favorable situation.

This time, though, unlike before, Cam was determined to "definitely win," and came.

Cattleya's words, Alice's words, Four Seasons' words, N's words.

And Sirona's thoughts.

After getting a lot of things, Keim is now standing in the field.

The Pokémon believed in themselves and tried their best to defeat Sumo.

It can be said that Cam believes all this.

But there is one person I don't trust.

"Now…"

The opponent is strong.

It's not an opponent you can win if you don't give it your all.

I can't fight myself

The guilt of not being able to give good instructions, and the fear of failing despite all I got.
