Chapter 494

Just before the Blazing Roaring Tiger's massive paws were about to strike, Meowha swung its claws out.

A purplish-black energy detached from her claws, transforming into an arc-shaped slash that met the charging Fiery Roaring Tiger.

The two energies collided in mid-air, producing a muffled explosion.

The shockwave spread outwards, raising a cloud of dust.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger was forced back two steps by the impact, while Meowha remained unmoved.

The ability to change freely is activated!

The moment Meowha unleashed Shadow Claw, her type changed from Grass to Ghost.

An immune-boosting surprise attack!

The Fiery Roaring Tiger's determined slap passed right through Meowha's body.

It's like passing through something that doesn't exist at all.

The Fiery Roaring Tiger's claws missed, and its body lurched forward a few steps due to inertia, almost losing its balance.

It turned around abruptly, looking at the cat standing gracefully in place, its eyes filled with disbelief.

Tiger God was certainly aware that Magic Masked Cat's ability to change its type could transform it into a Ghost-type, immune to Fake Out attacks.

But... isn't this speed a bit too fast?

It's important to know that the Fake Out move has a priority energy boost, and you've already started charging up the move almost while you're still in the Poké Ball.

It's safe to say that the chances of dodging this high-five surprise attack are extremely slim.

This is also why Dr. Kukui dared to openly use Incineroar and employ this tactic.

The live chat exploded at that moment.

This reaction speed is incredible!

[As everyone knows, cats have six times the reaction speed of other cats, so it's not surprising that I, Magic Masked Cat, dodged your Blazing Roaring Tiger's attacks, is it?]

[No problem, tigers are big cats lol]

[Meowha looks even stronger than before, completely at ease!]

[Look closely, she didn't even blink—that's incredibly calm!]

[Is this the magical masked cat from champion Xia Chi? I love it!]

Dr. Kukui's expression was priceless, haha, it looked like he was saying, "This is impossible!"

Honestly, I'd be dumbfounded too. This is just illogical!

While the comments section was filled with heated banter, the smoke and dust on the battlefield had not yet settled.

The light of the Shadow Claw had barely faded at the tip of the claw when the energy of the next attack was already surging within her body.

A light blue glow began to gather at the tip of the claw.

The light was clear and profound, as if it had condensed an entire ocean into a small space.

Water molecules condense and compress in the air, eventually forming a thin liquid film covering the tips of the claws.

The water kept hitting!

This is a unique move that Miaoha copied from Martial Arts Master Xiong through the "sketching" technique.

Its terrifying aspect lies in the fact that each of its three attacks is guaranteed to strike the opponent's vital points.

In addition, the water attribute naturally has a double advantage over the fire attribute.

If this attack hits, even a Fiery Roaring Tiger, known for its sturdiness, will not fare well.

Meowha's attack speed is astonishing.

Before the aftereffects of Shadow Claw had completely dissipated, the first wave of water attacks had already been unleashed.

Her right claw left a light blue afterimage in the air as its tip precisely pierced the side of the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Thud—

With a muffled thud, a cloud of water vapor burst from the fur of the Blazing Roaring Tiger, and its massive body involuntarily tilted to the left.

But this is just the beginning.

The second paragraph follows immediately, even faster than the first.

Meowha's body spun half a circle like a top, its left paw carrying an even stronger current of water, and slammed hard into the side of the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

The Fiery Roaring Tiger's knees buckled, and it nearly collapsed to its knees.

The three muffled thuds almost merged into one.

So fast was the water's three-stage attack that it was unleashed before Dr. Kukui could even issue his next command.

Under this series of precise and ruthless blows, the Fiery Roaring Tiger, with its sturdy, tower-like body, finally couldn't help but stagger back several steps.

Each step left a deep footprint in the ground.

"Quickly! Say something tough!"

Dr. Kukui finally realized what was happening and gave the order.

He made some harsh remarks.

Dark-type moves.

After use, the Pokémon will lower the opponent's Attack and Special Attack, and then automatically switch out.

The beauty of this move is that it doesn't require a hit to take effect like "U-turn," nor does it waste a turn like "Replace."

Once it's used, you can safely exit the game.

Furthermore, the evil attribute does not possess any attribute that makes it "immune".

In other words, no matter what attribute Meowha transforms into, his harsh words will always hit.

Given Xia Chi's reaction speed and Miao Ha's move release speed, if the release of the "Throwing Down the Threat" move is even slightly slower, the Blazing Roaring Tiger will probably have to take another counter move.

But Dr. Kukui is, after all, a seasoned champion-level trainer.

He gave the order at the perfect moment.

Despite the excruciating pain from the relentless water jets, the Blazing Roaring Tiger opened its blood-red maw and let out a low, eerie roar.

Dark purple malevolent energy erupted from its mouth, transforming into an invisible shackle that bound Meowha's body.

Miaoha frowned slightly, and the energy luster on the surface of its body visibly dimmed a bit.

Throwing a tough line and hitting the target has an outstanding effect—not in terms of damage, but in terms of tactics.

Incineroar's body transformed into a dark red light and returned to the Poké Ball in Professor Kukui's hand.

Tiger God exits the stage.

But the battle has only just begun.

Professor Kukui took a deep breath, and with his other hand, he threw out a second Poké Ball.

The white light exploded in mid-air, transforming into a tall and imposing figure.

The figure landed with a dull metallic clang.

Emperor Naboo.

Xia Chi looked at the large penguin standing proudly in the arena, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

There's nothing surprising about that.

Against an opponent like Meowha who can change its attributes at will, choosing Emperor Naboo, who has a wide range of resistances, is one of the safest options.

But the problem is-

You, an emperor, what do you have to fight me with?

Meowha's "Grass-type Bond" ability allows her to accumulate energy with each attack in battle, making her stronger as the battle progresses.

Attack power, defense power, and speed will gradually increase as the battle continues.

And what about Emperor Naboo?

There's no output, and no control.

Its only advantage is its high resistance and toughness.

But no matter how tough your body is, how long can it hold out?

Without further hesitation, Xia Chi shouted, "Meow! Lightning Fist!"

In the past, when facing a champion-level Emperor Naboo, Xia Chi would definitely have Miao Ha use "Shift" to boost his attack power once or twice before going in.

But it's not necessary now.

Even without any buffs, Meowha's offensive power is enough to pose a significant threat to champion-level Pokémon.

This confidence is forged through countless life-or-death battles.

Miaoha stomped its hind paws on the ground, and its entire body shot out like a spring compressed to its limit.

She was so fast that she was just a blur.

Golden lightning began to leap and hiss on the tips of its claws.

Meowha's figure rapidly magnified in Emperor Naboo's field of vision.

Just before the Lightning Fist was about to hit, Dr. Kukui's voice rang out.

"Emperor Naboo, bluffing!"

King Naboo opened his sharp, long beak and let out an extremely piercing cry.

The sound didn't sound like birdsong; it was more like the shrieking of some kind of metal rubbing together.

Strange energy surged from its beak, transforming into an invisible wave that precisely struck the charging Meowha.

Miaoha's body suddenly stiffened.

A strange, dark red light emanated from her body, spreading and intertwining beneath her hair like blood vessels.

That was the unique glow of a state of "chaos".

Bluffing is a normal attack that greatly increases the opponent's attack power, but also confuses them.

When a spirit is in a confused state, there is a certain probability that it will attack itself.

The damage dealt to the attack itself will be calculated based on the Pokémon's own attack power.

In other words—

The higher the attack power, the more it hurts when you hit yourself.

Xia Chi's eyebrows shot up, and he instantly understood Dr. Kukui's scheme.

This is a high-stakes gamble.

A high-stakes gamble that cost Emperor Naboo his health.

Dr. Kukui was betting that Meowha would attack him in a state of confusion, using its high attack power to severely injure him.

Once Meowha injures itself, Emperor Naboo can seize the opportunity to counterattack.

That's normal, though.

Given the disparity in overall strength between the two sides, Dr. Kukui had no choice but to resort to this "gambling" approach to try and secure victory.

After all, the probability of Meowha's chaotic state being triggered is one-third.

There is a one-third probability that it will attack itself.

Two-thirds probability of a normal attack.

From a probabilistic standpoint, Dr. Kukui's chances of winning are not high.

But this was the only way he could find to break the deadlock in this desperate situation.

Xia Chi shook his head, a helpless smile appearing on his lips.

Oh well, it was just a friendly match anyway.

Let's see how lucky we are.

"Meow, keep attacking! Earthquake!"

Xia Chi's voice was clear and firm.

Earthquake, a Ground-type move, is twice as effective against Emperor Naboo.

Moreover, the power of an earthquake is far greater than that of a lightning punch.

If this move can be landed, even if Emperor Naboo doesn't lose his fighting ability, he will be left with very low health.

The moment Miaoha heard the command, her body instinctively began to mobilize energy.

An earthy yellow light surged from the ground beneath her feet, spreading upwards along her limbs and gathering at the tips of her claws.

However, just as that earthy yellow light was about to fully take shape...

The dark red, chaotic light in Miaoha's eyes suddenly erupted!

Her body trembled violently, her limbs seemed to be forcibly twisted by an invisible force, and the claws that were originally aimed at Emperor Naboo were actually turned towards herself.

Immediately, the earthy yellow energy exploded on Meowha's body!

A dull bang.

Miaoha's petite body was thrown backward several times by the earthquake shockwave she released, leaving a long trail on the ground.

Dust flew everywhere.

The chaotic state is triggered, and the Magic Masked Cat attacks itself!

The terrifying power of the earthquake, combined with the attack power boost that Meowha had accumulated through the "Grass-type bond," resulted in damage from this self-inflicted injury that was far more terrifying than any move that Emerald could unleash.

A glint flashed in Dr. Kukui's eyes.

This is the moment he's been waiting for.

"Emperor Naboo, Water Cannon!"

Emperor Naboo's long beak suddenly opened, and a surge of deep blue light gushed from his throat.

Three high-pressure water jets shot out from the beak simultaneously, converging in mid-air into a terrifying torrent as thick as a bucket, crashing down on Miaoha, who had just recovered from his self-injury, with overwhelming force!

Miaoha's eyes widened suddenly, but there was no time to dodge.

The water cannon was too fast and the distance was too short.

boom-

The powerful impact of the water jet sent Miaoha's small body flying backward.

She tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily into the protective wall at the edge of the field with a dull thud.

Water splashed everywhere, raining down on the entire field like a downpour.

This attack caused immense damage.

Not only because of the power of the water cannon itself, but also because when Meowha releases an earthquake, its type has been changed to Ground by the ability to freely switch.

Ground-based systems are twice as weak to water-based systems.

This water cannon attack is a genuine counter-damage.

In addition to the damage caused by Miaoha's previous self-inflicted injury, her physical strength has already dropped a level.

Dr. Kukui was relentless in his pursuit of power.

"Continue with the saline solution!"

Emperor Naboo opened his long beak once more.

This time, instead of a raging torrent, a more condensed and precise jet of water erupted.

brine!

This water-type move is far less powerful than Water Cannon, but it has an extremely insidious additional effect: if the opponent's health is already below half, the power of Salt Water will double.

Dr. Kukui's purpose was clear: to use salt water to test Meowha's remaining strength.

If Meowha takes a lot of damage, it means she's at her last gasp.

If the damage is minor, it means her stamina is still well over half full.

The jet of salt water hit Miaoha precisely as he climbed up from the wall.

Water splashed.

Meowha swayed, but did not fall down.

Her eyes remained clear.

This salt water did not deliver the expected double damage.

Miaoha's stamina is still more than half full.

Despite fighting for so long, suffering self-inflicted injuries from the chaos, and being hit by the water cannon, her stamina was still remarkably good.

This vitality and defensive power have clearly far exceeded the scope of ordinary magical masked cats.

Dr. Kukui frowned.

The moment the salt water hit, the chaotic dark red light in Miaoha's eyes finally dissipated.

"Meowha, Lightning Fist!"

No hesitation was needed, and no tactical adjustments were required.

Fight back, it's that simple.

Meowha's figure once again transformed into a blur.

The golden lightning on the claws was even more violent and frenzied than before.

She's going to make that penguin pay the price.

But just a moment before Lightning Punch was about to hit Naboo.

The dark red light exploded from Miaoha's body once again.

Chaos state triggered again!

Meowha's claws veered off course, and the lightning punch that was supposed to hit Emperor Naboo landed squarely on her own body.

A crackling golden bolt of lightning exploded on her body, her hair stood on end, and wisps of blue smoke rose.

Meow let out a low groan, its body once again being forced back several steps by its own force.

Xia Chi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

isn't it?

Twice now!

Two consecutive instances of confusion and self-inflicted damage!

One in three chance, winning twice in a row?

What incredible luck!
