[Profound meaning (×), worldly wisdom allows one to concede ()]
[Hahaha, it's not impossible. People from Donghuang in prison are really good at understanding human relationships 2333]
[Tapoo: I don't understand why everyone is talking about our Tapu family being wiped out. Fairy vs. Dark + Fighting, the advantage is mine!]
[I think Mingming's opinion is brilliant!]
Tapu Koko's attribute advantage led many viewers to have slightly different opinions about the outcome of this battle.
After all, a four-fold advantage means that the defensive pressure on the Martial Arts Bear Master will be unprecedented.
Moreover, Bear Master himself is not a Pokémon known for its defense.
Regardless of the circumstances, Xia Chi's decision to replace Victini with Martial Arts Bear Master means that the former cannot be replaced again unless he loses his fighting ability.
After a delicate standoff, Dr. Kukui was the first to break the stalemate.
"Lightning!"
The reason I didn't use a Fairy-type move that's four times super effective is because that would actually create a greater threat.
It's like a Damocles' sword hanging over the head of a martial arts master.
This feeling of uncertainty is what's most frustrating.
If the Martial Arts Bear Master reveals even a momentary opening, Tapu Koko's Fairy-type move will surely follow.
As soon as Dr. Kukui finished speaking, Tapu Koko started up instantly.
Its speed itself exceeds the limits of what the naked eye can perceive.
With the added power of the electrical field, the electrical energy circuits within its body operated even more violently, and golden arcs of electricity burst forth from every metallic scale of its wings, leaving a long trail behind it.
One second he was on the east side of the field, the next second, a golden lightning afterimage tore through the air and rushed straight towards Martial Arts Master Xiong's face.
Tapu Koko infused its wings with electric energy, and the electric field stretched the trajectory of the lightning bolts even more sharply, instantly filling the entire area with the smell of burning.
Wherever the bolt of lightning passed, even the air was ionized into a pale blue plasma state, emitting a piercing hissing sound.
too fast.
Most people in the audience didn't even see its movement clearly; they only saw a flash of golden light before Tapu Koko had already crossed most of the venue.
Martial Arts Master Xiong did not move.
It wasn't that they didn't have time to react, but rather that they were waiting for the best opportunity to counterattack.
Its body remained in the starting position, and the rapidly expanding golden lightning was reflected in its obsidian-like pupils.
Tapu's wing blades had closed to within half a meter of it, and the golden arcs of electricity wrapped around the wing blades were almost touching the tip of the Martial Arts Bear Master's nose.
A distance of tens of meters takes less than a tenth of a second in the face of Kapu's speed.
But even this window of less than 0.1 seconds is enough.
"Dark Strike".
Master Xiong pulled his right fist back, twisted his waist and abdomen, and coordinated all the muscles in his body to the most perfect angle of force in the same instant.
Every muscle fiber was activated at this moment, and all the power was finally gathered in the right fist.
Dark purple energy surged from the knuckles, forming a spiraling energy vortex as the fist advanced.
The vortex's texture resembled a fissure in an abyss, with each energy ripple devouring the surrounding light.
The purplish-black energy spun rapidly on the fist, eventually forming a terrifying vortex that resembled a small black hole.
A deep, muffled sound, like the cracking of an abyss, rang out.
Tapu Cry's wing blades collided head-on with the purplish-black vortex.
In that instant, time seemed to stretch out.
Two different types of energy collided with each other, weaving a dazzling energy picture in mid-air.
The crackling of lightning mingled with the consuming sound of dark energy, as if two forces from different worlds were locked in a struggle.
Golden and purplish-black light flashed wildly at the point of collision, illuminating the surrounding rocky ground for dozens of meters in a flickering light.
The results were quickly revealed.
The energy of Dark Strike penetrated the surface defenses of the lightning bolt and blasted straight into Tapu Roar's chest.
The purplish-black energy vortex, like an indestructible drill, tore through the barrier of lightning and exploded in front of Tapu Kommot's chest.
boom-
Tapu Koko's body flew backward like a struck golden meteor.
It tumbled continuously in the air, golden sparks of electricity falling from its body, smashing countless tiny, charred craters into the rocky ground.
Every rock struck by the electric discharge shattered instantly, sending fragments flying everywhere.
But being a legendary spirit, it quickly adjusted its form in mid-air.
Golden arcs of electricity cascaded down from the wingtip like a waterfall, abruptly halting its descent.
Tapu Koko hovered three meters above the ground, its cockscomb-like structure emitting an even higher-pitched buzzing sound.
A hint of seriousness flashed in those golden eyes.
It looked down at the shallow scorch mark on its chest. Although the injury was not serious, the force of the blow far exceeded its expectations.
On the sidelines of the battlefield, Dr. Kukui's brow furrowed slightly.
Logically speaking, the Dark Strike of the Martial Arts Master should only deal half the damage to Tapu Koko.
Electric-type moves do not have a type advantage against Dark/Fighting type Urshifu.
However, as a Dark-type move, Dark Strike should not have such a terrifying impact on this Electric/Fairy-type Pokémon.
How could it directly crush Tapu Roar's lightning in a head-on confrontation?
Even if the base damage of Lightning Strike is far less than that of Dark Strike, it shouldn't be this bad...
Unless, Urshifu's physical attack output is far superior to Tapu Koko's.
This incredible idea came to his mind.
In fact, it is true.
Master Xiong's overall strength may not be as good as Tapu Koko, who has a deeper background.
However, with the additional damage bonus from the "Evil" synergy, his output can only be described as "terrifying".
With each punch, the power of the bond infuses that attack with additional destructive energy.
This is also why Xia Chi chose the one-hit style rather than the combo style when sending out Martial Arts Master Xiong.
When facing truly formidable opponents, the difference in their output is too great.
The Dark Strike of the One-Strike Style involves pouring all power into a single punch.
This is the real reason why Martial Arts Bear Master can charge forward fearlessly despite attribute disadvantages.
Dr. Kukui slowly exhaled.
He knew he couldn't wait for Martial Arts Master Xiong to reveal a weakness any longer.
Since psychological tactics are ineffective, we should use our speed advantage to wear them down.
"Chirp, Flash Magic!"
Pink energy particles erupted from Tapu Koko's body, like a reverse pink rainstorm, covering Martial Arts Bear Master.
Those energy particles drew out countless fine pink light threads in mid-air, each thread containing a terrifying power four times stronger than the restraint.
If this move hits a Fairy-type Urshifu that has a Fighting or Dark attribute, the damage will be considerable.
The pink light that filled the sky was like a giant net of light, completely sealing off all the space around Martial Arts Bear Master to dodge.
Xia Chi immediately gave the instruction: "See through it."
Martial Arts Master Xiong's feet did not move, but his upper body swayed slightly with an extremely subtle amplitude.
Each sway was perfectly timed so that the magical beams of light grazed past it, leaving scorching marks on its fur with pink energy particles, but none of them hit a vital spot.
The essence of seeing through is prediction: reading the trajectory of the opponent's move the instant they make it, dodging with minimal effort and conserving energy to the maximum extent.
Tapu Koko didn't stop.
Dr. Kukui's tactical approach has changed.
It no longer seeks to defeat its opponent head-on, but instead uses its speed advantage to wage guerrilla warfare.
Magic Flash deals ranged damage, while the Electric Net blocks movement, keeping the Martial Arts Bear Master constantly on the run.
"Electric grid".
Golden electric nets rained down from Tapu's wings, covering an area of several dozen square meters around the Martial Arts Bear Master.
The moment the power grid touched the ground, the electric field strength on the ground surged again, and golden electric threads climbed up from the ground like vines, trying to entangle the martial arts bear master's ankles.
The electric wires intertwined on the ground to form a huge golden spider web, with each wire emitting a high-frequency buzzing sound.
The power grid covers an extremely wide area, almost completely encompassing all the ground space around Martial Arts Bear Master.
Once entangled by those electric threads, the Martial Arts Bear Master's speed will be greatly reduced, making it even more difficult to dodge Tapu Clang's magical flashes.
Xia Chi replied without hesitation, "Dig a hole!"
With a twist of his claws, the martial arts bear master created a huge hole in the ground.
Its claws are like two high-speed rotating drills, and the rocky ground is easily torn apart in front of it like tofu.
The shattered stones were thrown backward by its powerful force, piling up behind it to form a small hill.
It burrowed into the ground through the opening, cutting off the electrical grid on the ground.
Almost at the same moment it burrowed into the ground, the electric grid landed where it had just been standing.
Golden electric wires spread wildly across the ground, but failed to capture any target.
Dr. Kukui sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Chikoruru, raise your position!"
Electric-Fairy has a superior type rating, allowing it to resist Urshifu's Dark and Fighting-type moves by twice as much.
However, it is precisely countered by ground-type abilities.
Although Tapu Koko is not a Flying-type Pokémon, its ability to fly allows it to avoid the second hit after digging out.
Tapu Koko flapped its wings upon hearing the sound, its body shooting straight into the sky like a golden lightning bolt, instantly reaching a height of nearly twenty meters.
From this height, the entire rocky terrain is laid out before you, and even the movement of the Martial Arts Bear Master underground cannot escape its perception.
But Xia Chi never intended to deal damage by digging holes.
Digging tunnels is merely a means to avoid the slowing effect of the power grid.
Tapu Koko's increased height, however, gave him the opportunity to strengthen himself.
Xia Chi commanded, "Sword Dance!"
The martial arts bear master burst forth from the ground.
Gravel flew in all directions as it moved, and dust formed a grayish-brown vortex around it.
Instead of attacking Tapu Koko in the sky, it stood on the ground and performed a sword dance.
A surge of enhanced golden light shot into the sky, dazzlingly bright.
The martial arts master crossed his arms in front of him, then suddenly spread them out to the sides.
Golden light erupted from its body, like a volcano of energy suddenly erupting.
The light condensed on its body surface into countless tiny sword-shaped light patterns, each light pattern representing an increase in physical attack.
The sword-shaped light patterns multiplied and brightened, eventually enveloping its entire body in a dazzling golden cocoon.
Dr. Kukui then realized Xia Chi's true intentions.
He immediately shouted, "Magic Flash!"
However, the two elves were too far apart.
Even a spell like Magic Flash requires some time to travel a vertical distance of twenty meters.
As the magical, radiant light descended from the sky, Master Bear had already completed his enhancement.
The golden light emanating from its body had not yet completely dissipated, and an even more intense fighting spirit had already ignited in its obsidian-like pupils.
"Swallow Returns!"
Xia Chi gave the order, and Martial Arts Master Xiong responded and moved.
The energy of flight granted it an incredibly light body, allowing it to break through the magical glow's barrier with exaggerated movements completely disproportionate to its size, and soar into the sky.
Its body drew a sharp arc in mid-air, and light blue flight energy condensed into two whirlwinds beneath its feet.
The whirlwind lifted its massive body, allowing it to complete a sharp turn in the air that almost defied the laws of physics.
A magical, shimmering pink beam swept past its side, grazing a small patch of fur on its shoulder, but that was all.
Then, like a black meteor launched into the air, it hurtled straight toward Tapu Koko.
The magical flash did indeed inflict terrifying damage four times its normal strength; pink fairy energy exploded on its chest, leaving a shocking burn mark.
Blood seeped from the wound, staining its black fur red.
But this blow was not fatal.
The "Fighting Attribute" synergy grants the characteristic that "the lower the health, the higher the damage," making Martial Arts Bear Master's next move extremely terrifying.
Its blood is boiling.
The wound in its chest did not weaken its fighting spirit; on the contrary, it acted as a catalyst, pushing its fighting will to a new level.
A pale blue aerodynamic energy erupted from its right fist, like a storm compressed to its limit.
The Martial Arts Bear Master passed through the magically flashing gap, and an energy vortex rapidly expanded on its fist.
That punch embodied the enhancement of sword dance, the bonus of fighting bonds, and... all the secrets of the One-Hit Strike Style.
Wherever the fist passed, the air was torn apart by visible distortions, and even the light of the electric field paled in comparison to this punch.
The force of this punch tore a hole in the surrounding electrical field, and golden arcs of electricity scattered and fled.
Tapu Koko tried to dodge.
It flapped its wings suddenly, attempting to turn sharply to the side.
Four metal wings unfurled behind it, golden arcs of electricity shooting wildly from the wingtips, attempting to propel its body out of the Swallow Return's lock-on range.
However, the guaranteed hit effect of "Swallow Return" renders its evasion useless.
No matter which direction it moves, the pale blue fist wind will follow closely behind like a persistent ailment.
As for holding on?
How about learning about the "Invisible Fist" trait exclusive to Martial Arts Bear Master?
The pale blue fist blasted into Tapu's chest without any obstruction.
