Chapter 312: Aislo vs Denji (Part )

"Loto!"

At the moment when the lightning flashed, Rotom felt a shock coming from behind him, and then he fell directly to the ground, seemingly seriously injured.

Obviously, Zoroark's sneak attack hit the vital point.

"Hehehe~"

The tall figure landed lightly on the ground, a mischievous (crossed out) teasing smile on the corner of his mouth. After patting the burn marks on his body left by the lightning, Zoroark, who had returned to his Zoroark form after a long absence, rubbed another evil wave and threw it at Rotom. Unfortunately, Rotom, who had just stood up, dodged this move with his agility, and the move missed, leaving only a large hole on the ground.

"It's an illusion..." Denji frowned slightly, but he was not ready to change people. After all, although Rotom did not have an advantage in attributes, he was not at a disadvantage either, and his strength was a few points higher than the opponent. "Rotom, electromagnetic wave!"

For a Pokémon like Zoroark that is extremely fast but has poor defense, the paralysis after being hit by electromagnetic waves can be quite troublesome.

But the next scene was beyond Denji's expectations again. Rotom released one golden halo after another, but its target was the rock on the ground. Then, Rotom flew forward, as if it wanted to continue attacking the rubble.

"What?" Now not only Denji on the field, but also Shinji and Ajin in the audience showed surprised expressions.

At this time, Eslo, who was standing at the other end of the battlefield, slowly spoke, "Zorua's illusion can affect the opponent's senses to a certain extent."

This was explained not only to Denci, but also to the three people in the audience.

Affecting the five senses, this is the biggest difference between Zoroark's illusion and Ma's. Although Zoroark can also make illusions affect reality, he is better at the true spiritual illusion - this also leads to the fact that the little fox has learned more from Darkrai than Ma, who is relatively inferior in this aspect.

After all, this was just a competition, and the boy didn't mind revealing some information to his opponent.

As Eslo finished speaking, Zoroark proudly put his paws on his waist, raised his head with his eyes slightly closed, looking very proud.

“I see…” Denji’s eyes grew more serious, and he shouted to Rotom in the air, “Rotom, wake up!”

The moment he heard his trainer's shout, Rotom paused with a confused expression, and he gradually realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the opponent in front of him.

At this moment, Zoroark had come behind Him again, and his claws were wrapped in black energy that seemed to have swallowed up all the light. Then he smashed Rotom hard, causing an explosion.

"Idiot, I fooled you~"

The pain from the attack and the childish voice of provocation completely made Rotom struggle out of the illusion. After all, his hard power was still stronger than Zoroark, and Zoroark was currently unable to completely control the five senses of a being stronger than himself. Perhaps in the future he would be able to block the opponent's hearing and touch at will and achieve true control, but unfortunately, at least he couldn't do it now.

However, having said that, this does not mean that Zoroark's illusion is useless. Affecting the five senses such as vision, even for just a moment, is enough to be fatal in a battle.

"Rotom, Shadow Clone, and pray for rain!"

Rotom's silhouette flashed at high speed, and several clones of Rotom quickly condensed in the air. Then, they all raised their heads at the same time and chanted the ancient initiation words into the air.

"Zorua, observe the shadows on the ground, then Dark Blast!"

"Okay!" Zoroa responded to the boy in a childish and lively voice.

The clone created by Shadow Clone has no shadow. Eslo naturally knows this. Zoroark also takes action immediately. With a glance of his sharp eyes, he locks onto Rotom's real body almost instantly.

After confirming his target, Zoroark's body turned into a black shadow and immediately began to charge. On the way, he did not forget to sharpen his claws.

The next moment, Zoroark suddenly leaped up and flew in front of Rotom, and swung out his scarlet claws wrapped in inky energy in an instant. Rotom had no time to react and was directly pierced by the inky black energy spikes.

"Loto!"

Rotom wailed, unable to move. Just when Zoroark wanted to press on and pursue, Rotom instantly turned into a red light and returned to the Poké Ball held by Denji.

As Denji took Rotom back, dark clouds in the sky slowly gathered, and finally heavy rain fell.

[Tsk, this is so annoying...]

Zoroark fell to the ground from the sky and shook off the raindrops on his body. He looked up with some dissatisfaction. He hated the feeling of his wet hair. In the past, it meant that he and Ma would suffer from the cold and spend a difficult night together. But now... after the battle, he was going to take a shower.

But with Aislo helping him scrub and smooth his hair, it seems like it wouldn't be bad to take a shower in the rain here?

"Come on, Roentgen Cat!"

While Zoroark was lost in thought, his opponent had already stepped onto the battlefield. It was none other than the Roentgen Cat, who was in a rather bad state.

Denji's Roentgen Cat has the Perseverance trait, which allows him to be more relaxed when facing Zoroark's illusions, and Denji has some other ideas.

"Zorua, it's a sunny day!" There was no way that Eslo would just ignore the weather that was in the other party's favor.

"Okay!" Zoroark raised his head and looked towards the sky, a light flashed in his eyes, and then the dark clouds covering the blue sky slowly dissipated, and the sun, even hotter than before, fell again.

"Roentgen cat, Flame Fang!"

Denci placed his hand in front of his brow to block the glaring sunlight, observing the destroyed and messy site, trying to find a usable terrain.

And Roentgen Cat also took the opportunity of Zoroark adjusting the weather, and a faint fire flickered in his mouth, and it seemed that he was intentionally controlling the power of this move.

The Roentgen cat bit its front paw lightly, and through precise control, allowed the flames to spread to its paws, causing itself to be burned.

"Want to stimulate the perseverance trait?" Shinji in the audience frowned at this time. You know, the Roentgen Cat's condition was not good to begin with, and now the burns made it worse. If it goes on like this, it is very likely to be delayed by Eslo's Zoroark and directly killed.

But this is definitely not a mistake a gym leader with rich combat experience would make.

"Why?" Shinji thought seriously. He recalled the skills that the Roentgen cat could learn and felt that he had some ideas.
