Chapter 174 Demonstrates Fault Tolerance

Therefore, Swampert repeatedly shook its head in refusal of the boss's enthusiastic "invitation".

Lu An knew that the Magic Masked Cat was teasing his long-lost friend, so he patted the Magic Masked Cat's fur:

"Alright, little thief cat, stop teasing the Swampert. You just finished a battle, so get some rest."

"It's been a while since Umbreon has had a proper battle, so let Swampert lend a hand to Umbreon."

Swampert nodded repeatedly, grabbed the bewildered Umbreon beside it, and dragged the three-legged creature directly onto the arena:

"La chi la chi".

Seeing the Swampert gesturing for him to step down, Magic Masked Cat pouted:

"Meow, meow."

Fine, kids grow up and leave home; they don't like playing with the older sister anymore.

I don't know who it was when they were kids who loved watching the eldest sister's "flowers when they encounter water" magic trick.

But since the trainer touched it, the cat stopped causing trouble.

After the Magic Masked Meow gracefully stepped off the stage, Ryuzawa looked at Swampert and Umbreon on the field and fell into deep thought.

He had just witnessed the Swampert's strength recently.

The magnificent scene of him taking on fourteen Gyarados single-handedly was still very clear in his mind.

The post-earthquake scene, in particular, was so terrifying that even Diglett and Onix would scratch their heads, unsure how to repair it.

As for Umbreon, although it easily defeated his Forsaken, they are not in the same league.

Moreover, Longze knew that Lu Ante and others' Ibrahimovic had just recovered from a serious illness.

In this battle, it seems like Swampert should be the main attacker and Umbreon the main defender, right?

However, once the match began, Longze immediately realized that he had made a huge mistake.

“Eebu”.

(▼?▼)

Umbreon pulled out palm-sized lumps of mud and threw them at Swampert's face.

Swampert was quite cooperative.

Seeing the clods of mud heading straight for their faces, they hurriedly dodged them.

Despite its large size, it is quite adept at dodging clods of mud.

This scene looked particularly comical during the battle.

One was throwing mud, the other was dodging.

Forget about this being a high-level Pokémon battle; it's more like two kids fighting.

Having already watched two thrilling matches, Xiaozhu was somewhat stunned when she saw this third one:

What are they doing?

Lu An slapped himself in the face.

How could he have forgotten about that!

Among his team, Umbreon and Meowth have the worst personalities.

Magical Masked Cat's personality is one of stirring up trouble and wanting to get involved in everything.

Umbreon, on the other hand, is aloof but not foolish; in order to solve problems, it doesn't mind using methods that others would be too embarrassed to use.

As Swampert's teammate, Umbreon is well aware of Swampert's obsessive-compulsive nature.

In a life-or-death struggle, this would naturally not be a weakness.

However, since this is just team practice, Swampert's obsessive-compulsive nature will be amplified.

Therefore, in order to stop Swampert from attacking, Umbreon immediately used "Sludge Bomb" to disrupt Swampert's attack rhythm.

After all, you wouldn't want your clean body to become dirty, would you?

Seeing that Umbreon was still happily throwing mud, Lu An couldn't help but shout:

"Mooncloth, stop with the mud in your hands!"

“Eebu”.

(?▼皿▼)σ

Upon hearing the command from outside the arena, Umbreon reluctantly put down the mud in its hand.

Seeing this, Swampert finally stopped dodging and quickly rinsed its body with water to prevent small clods of mud from getting on it.

Umbreon then took the opportunity to activate "Sunny Day".

Although Umbreon excels in nighttime battles, "Sunny Day" is still quite effective at weakening Swampert.

After a brief commotion, Swampert finally freed up some "Invisible Rocks" that had been transformed from solid to ethereal and placed them on the arena before slowly walking toward Umbreon.

"Ratchet."

Not only the "Stealth Rock," but many rocks were casually thrown at Umbreon by Swampert, in an attempt to block Umbreon's path.

Since simple and convenient attacks like "Sludge" were banned, Umbreon gathered "Dark Pulse" and threw it at Swampert.

However, Swampert is not afraid of attacks that are purely energy-based.

It raised its arm high, using its palm as a knife, and slashed down with a single blow, "splitting the tile!"

The "Dark Pulse" was instantly split in two by Swampert's arm, bypassed Swampert's body, and crashed straight into the arena's protective shield.

Swampert grabbed the sharp, stalactite-like rocks in its hand and then launched them at Umbreon like javelins.

"Spirit Strike".

With "Stealth Rock" present, blindly dodging is obviously not a good option, so Umbreon started splashing sand around.

At the same time, his scarlet eyes suddenly brightened as if they had been illuminated by a light source—"seeing through".

"Umbreon uses 'Sand Smash'?"

Long Ze seemed to be deep in thought:

"While 'Sand Splash' doesn't have much offensive power, it can be used to detect Swampert's 'Invisible Rock'."

"With the skills gained from 'seeing through,' dodging these dense attacks is indeed not impossible."

Sure enough, after using "See Through," Umbreon quickly maneuvered among the dense rocks, having a great time.

"Ratchet."

Seeing this, Swampert didn't hold back and stomped its foot hard on the arena—"Stomp!"

Suddenly, not only did the arena, capable of withstanding championship-level battles, begin to shake violently, but even Long Ze, standing outside the arena, almost lost his footing.

Longze glanced back and found that Naz was floating in the air above the stands, completely unaffected by the "stomp".

This made Ryuzawa feel very ashamed. As a rookie investigator, he not only needed to hone his Pokémon skills, but also his own abilities.

Lu An seemed to have seen through Long Ze's thoughts and said softly:

“Look at what’s under your feet.”

Long Ze looked closely and suddenly realized that Nazi's feet were not stuck to the stands, but rather there was a shallow gap between them.

She used her superpowers to levitate in the air, thus avoiding the effects of the "heavy stomp"!

Lu An patted Long Ze on the shoulder:

"There's no point in talking to these strange mechanisms. Don't look at them; the more you look at them, the more you'll doubt yourself."

Even those outside the arena, like Ryuzawa, were affected, so how could Umbreon inside the arena possibly be unscathed?

“Eebu”.

Umbreon, which was strolling leisurely, was thrown off balance by "Stomp" and bumped into an invisible rock, instantly struck as if by lightning.

The remaining sharp stones immediately rained down on Umbreon.

"Eebu!"

Just when Longze thought that Umbreon might be finished, he saw Umbreon shakily stand up again.

The crescent-shaped blue fur on its forehead began to shine in the sunlight, and the injuries on its body disappeared as if ice and snow were melting away.

"This is... 'Moonlight'?"

"Moonlight" restores most of its stamina under the "Sunny Day" state.

With this move, Umbreon instantly became lively again.

Lu An smiled faintly.

It's important to know that Eevee's greatest strength has never been offense, but defense.

This defense refers not only to its resistance to physical and energy attacks, but also to its recovery moves such as "prayer" and "moonlight".

With these moves, Umbreon's survivability is second only to Meowth.

No matter how threatening your moves are, so what?

If you can't kill me in one move, I'll jump up and be a hero again.

Its main feature is to demonstrate fault tolerance.
