Chapter 29: Focus Sash, Prepare for Battle!

Walking Wake used "Roar"!

Dou Jianqiao's Attack and Sp. Atk were lowered!

"How could there be a Walking Wake in the Burned Tower? This isn't right. Who is trying to frame me!"

Are the people in Ecruteak City that fierce? Or did Ho-Oh send a message to the three legendary beasts to gather at a designated location, but sent it to the wrong target, causing Walking Wake to run over?

If Suicune represents the calm side of water flow, then Walking Wake is the fierce side of water flow!

Xiang Guangtai didn't realize this was a dream, so he was extremely nervous at this time. And Dou Jianqiao had never seen this Pokémon before. After being roared at, it was a bit dizzy and couldn't help but look at Xiang Guangtai with some confusion.

"Yo~?"

Oh, so this is Suicune? It looks so fierce?

I feel like I can't beat it, let's surrender.

Dou Jianqiao tried to slack off because it felt the gap in power, but the opponent quickly attacked!

"We're going up, Dou Jianqiao!"

Xiang Guangtai's voice pulled Dou Jianqiao, who was trying to slack off, back to reality. It immediately turned its blade and stared at Xiang Guangtai with extremely suspicious eyes!

"Yo? Yo~?!"

Eh, I'm fighting Walking Wake? Really? Are we going up?!

And strange shining crystals appeared at the bottom of the Burned Tower... they looked just like crystals!

It was the environment of the "Crystal Cave"!

"Shadow Sneak!"

Xiang Guangtai hurriedly ordered. Dou Jianqiao's shadow flew out quickly, turning into a sword shadow and directly slashing from behind Walking Wake!

However, this level of attack couldn't affect Walking Wake at all. It didn't even sway in the slightest, just slowed its pace for a moment, then immediately opened its big mouth, and blue Water Pulse sprayed out in the form of a huge energy wave!

The water wave blasted onto Dou Jianqiao, blowing it away directly. However, the Water-type effect on the Steel-type was average. Xiang Guangtai took a look at Dou Jianqiao and found that it was quite lucky and didn't fall into a confused state!

Then it could continue to fight!

Water Pulse has a 20% chance to make the target confused. If you are unlucky, you might keep attacking yourself, and you would lose without the opponent needing to make another move.

And Unown E, who had floated in together, was already dumbfounded, its big eyes full of confusion!

This, what is this thing?

Isn't this Suicune? It looks so similar, is it Suicune's brother?

That's not right. I was clearly fulfilling this human's wish. The words he spelled out with those stone blocks were also Suicune. How could the image change?

Look, there are crystals (crystallization), and there is Suicune. It can also use Water Pulse, which means the Water-type is also correct. And you say this is not Suicune?

Oh... it's a nightmare, right?

Unown E felt it had found the answer.

Among those wild Pokémon, Ghost-type Pokémon like Haunter, Misdreavus, and Mismagius sometimes make trouble in other people's dreams, changing the images of some things to scare innocent passersby who are dreaming. Because of the existence of the move Nightmare, they can do whatever they want in dreams.

Nightmare is not a move exclusive to the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai, but a skill that many Ghost-type Pokémon can use.

There must be a Ghost-type Pokémon that broke in!

Unown E prepared to search for the non-existent Ghost-type Pokémon in the dream, while Xiang Guangtai and the dream Walking Wake's battle had reached a critical moment.

Regardless of base stats, move pool, or attributes, Dou Jianqiao had no possibility of winning.

Walking Wake is a Water/Dragon-type Pokémon, and it only has two weaknesses, which are Dragon and Fairy.

And Dou Jianqiao also has the "No Guard" ability, which means that even if it wants to dodge the opponent's skills, it can't become a "Master of Dodging" at all!

"Reflect!"

Since things have come to this, let's open a wall first, better than nothing.

Dou Jianqiao opened Reflect, which was a move learned from an ancient bracelet, which could halve physical damage. However, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Walking Wake's mouth, and fierce firelight began to accumulate in its mouth!

It's "Flamethrower"!

Dou Jianqiao was taken aback, its eyes almost popping out, and it hurriedly looked back to Xiang Guangtai for help!

"Yo yo yo!!!!"

Hey! Isn't this guy Water-type? How can it use Flamethrower!

I'm Steel-type. If I get hit by a Flamethrower, isn't this directly entering the Sword Forging Competition!

Xiang Guangtai fumbled around in his backpack, and his scalp went numb looking at the scene in front of him. Reflect was opened, but it was no different from not opening it. At most, it could block the opponent's claws and tail. Facing special attribute move attacks, it couldn't help at all.

However, Xiang Guangtai suddenly felt an item in his backpack.

"It's my Focus Sash!"

The red waist sash mixed with yellow was pulled out!

After carrying it, when HP is full, even if you receive a move that might lead to fainting, you can hold on with just 1 HP once!

However, Dou Jianqiao's life was not full now, so Xiang Guangtai pulled out a Full Restore!

It seemed that he hadn't made or bought this kind of medicine... This rational thought only flashed in his mind once, and was quickly drowned out by other thoughts!

Forget it, use it first!

Useful things, Focus Sash, prepare for battle!

"Catch!"

The huge Flamethrower directly enveloped the bottom floor of the Burned Tower. Dou Jianqiao caught the Focus Sash thrown over, and at the same time, Xiang Guangtai used a Full Restore on it. After the bombardment of the raging fire, even though charred black appeared on the sword body, it still stood tall!

"Yo!"

Dou Jianqiao felt that it was truly amazing, staring at the ancient giant dragon in front with its eyes wide open!

And Xiang Guangtai's body was also full of burn marks, but in his subconscious, he thought that humans in the Pokémon world were tougher than Pokémon when resisting various moves, so even if he didn't need a Focus Sash, there would be no problem...

"Roar?"

Walking Wake was also surprised to see that the human and sword in front of it didn't fall. Of course, Xiang Guangtai was even more surprised at this time.

In the process of constantly digging into his backpack, Xiang Guangtai found that it seemed like he could take out any item from his backpack!

Has it become Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket?

Wait, is this a dream?

When this thought arose and he began to doubt the world, Xiang Guangtai didn't have time to confirm it further!

"Lightweight body! Take this, and then Fury Cutter!"

Following Xiang Guangtai's order, Dou Jianqiao directly threw away its scabbard, and while its speed increased significantly, it received the new item thrown by Xiang Guangtai!

That was a triangular gray-blue small machine—Metronome!

Metronome, if a Pokémon carrying this item repeats the same move, the power will increase by 20% of the original power each time it is repeated. After using the same move six times, the power will increase to 200% of the original power!

Following that, Dou Jianqiao flew into mid-air to use Fury Cutter. The sword body kept slashing Walking Wake in mid-air, while the latter shook its tail and the crystal crown on its head violently, trying to knock Dou Jianqiao down!

Remote flying sword?

A strange sense of déjà vu popped up in Xiang Guangtai's mind again. He always felt that it would be very cool if he posed some chuunibyou poses at this time...

"The power of Fury Cutter will get bigger and bigger, and combined with the Metronome, it can be said to have amazing effects!"

After all, real-time battle is different from turn-based system. Fury Cutter, which was originally useless, can stack power to the maximum at a very fast speed in real-time battle! And the Metronome combined with Fury Cutter at this time can increase the move power to an incredible degree!

"Roar!"

Walking Wake was attacked continuously, the power of the slash became greater and greater, and Dou Jianqiao seemed to have really practiced "Fury Cutter" in depth. It canceled the backswing every time it attacked, so it looked like the attack speed was extremely fast!

Soon the crystal on Walking Wake's head was slashed with sword marks, and a large amount of debris flew out! Its body also suffered continuous blows, but Dou Jianqiao's attack mode completely angered it!

It shook its head violently, and with a roar, a phantom sun appeared in the space at the bottom of the Burned Tower!

"Sunny Day!"

At the same time, an ability-boosting effect appeared on its body. That was its ability "Protosynthesis"! When the weather is Sunny Day, the highest stat other than HP will be increased by 30%; if that stat is Speed, it will be increased by 50%!

The bottom of the Burned Tower was illuminated brightly, and this time Walking Wake swung its tail violently, and purple-blue Dragon-type energy surged on the two giant tails like long whips!

Breaking Swipe!

This is a move with "the scope of action is the opponent's entire field"!

A heavy sweep directly smashed Dou Jianqiao, who was flying in the sky, down!

(⊙(#)☆☆!

Dou Jianqiao was directly knocked away, and immediately after, Walking Wake began to accumulate power in its mouth again!

A piece of boiling water, steaming with fierce steam!

Signature move "Hydro Steam"!

Spray the boiling water fiercely at the opponent. When the weather is Sunny Day, the move power will not only not decrease, but will also increase to 1.5 times!

"Substitute!"

Xiang Guangtai hurriedly ordered Dou Jianqiao to set up an invincible substitute. Dou Jianqiao twitched twice and created a substitute again!

The surging boiling steam blasted onto Dou Jianqiao. When Walking Wake reacted, it found that the sword in front of it was fake!

And Dou Jianqiao began to sway left and right.

HP is not enough!

"Catch, Full Restore!"

Xiang Guangtai took out a Full Restore again. Although he didn't know why there was everything in this backpack, this battle seemed to awaken the memory of his previous life... The history of the Medicine-type King, filling the backpack with potions when clearing various Pokémon works, making trainers everywhere feel despair!

"And 'Eviolite' and 'Chople Berry'!"

The light purple stone was thrown out and steadily caught by Dou Jianqiao. A groove appeared on its hilt, and it wore the Eviolite. At the same time, it used a Full Restore to replenish its HP again!

The effect of Eviolite goes without saying, and Chople Berry, which looks like a red cocoa bean, can weaken the power of super-effective Fire-type moves.

In this way, he wouldn't have to be afraid of the opponent's Flamethrower anymore!

"?"

On the other side, as a Paradox Pokémon of Suicune, Walking Wake was speculated to be an ancient Pokémon from another timeline, so it had never seen these messy moves and items at all, and felt intense confusion.

Why doesn't the opponent fall no matter how I hit it?

Encountering the Straight Sword and Medicine-type King at the bottom of the Burned Tower, unable to win despite trying his best.

"Although the level gap is large, it is about to lose now! Screech!"

Xiang Guangtai continued to dig things out of his backpack and ordered Dou Jianqiao to attack. And Walking Wake, who was about to lose this battle, also discovered Xiang Guangtai's behavior. It didn't care at first, but now!

I am an ancient Pokémon, there is no need to follow any Pokémon battle rules!

Attacking the trainer is the right way!
