Pokémon Devil King

Chapter 356: Fierce Roar

"Qixi Bluebird, the divine bird attacks fiercely!" Naqi gritted her teeth and chose the most powerful fighting style. She didn't believe that the opponent would dare to take it head-on!

The Qixi Bluebird let out a long cry, and powerful blue-white energy burst out from its body. It rushed towards Haxorus like an arrow with astonishing momentum!

Faced with this desperate attack, Jiuji simply used his palm to block a few drops of rain for the shark in his arms.

"Carry it down, Water Tail."

Carry it through?

Naqi and the referee on the sidelines were both stunned.

The fighting spirit in Haxorus' eyes surged. It did not dodge, but stretched its slender body in the rain, facing the deadly streak of light!

The fierce attack of the Divine Bird hit Haxorus hard, causing a dull loud noise!

Hackron took the attack of the divine bird with an expressionless face, and its tail rolled up a powerful stream of water, which, with the help of rain, turned into an extremely thick water whip!

From bottom to top, he hit the Qixi Bluebird hard, which was stiffened by the reaction force!

The tail rolled up a mighty stream of water, which flowed from bottom to top and fiercely struck the Qixi Bluebird, which was stiffened by the fierce attack of the divine bird!

Snapped!

A crisp explosion!

"Qixi Bluebird!" Naqi exclaimed in surprise.

"Bluebird!" The Qixi Bluebird let out a painful wail. The cotton defense on its body seemed unable to completely offset the fierce blow. It was knocked down directly from the air and landed heavily on the slippery platform. It struggled for a few times but failed to fly up immediately.

"Final blow, freezing beam."

This time, there is no possibility of dodging.

The cold light hit accurately, and the Qixi Bluebird was frozen in the ice sculpture and lost its ability to fight.

The referee waved the flag: "Qixi Bluebird loses the ability to fight, Haxorus wins!"

The whole place was silent, the only sound was the raindrops hitting the platform.

Naqi silently took back the Tanabata Bluebird that was frozen in the ice sculpture, and clenched the Poké Ball tightly in her palm, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Two complete defeats.

The other person even looks a few years younger than himself.

The raindrops fell into Jiuji's arms, waking up the sleeping Shark.

The little guy opened his black vertical pupils and blinked in confusion. A drop of cold rain fell on the tip of his nose.

It subconsciously stuck out its little tongue and licked it.

"Ow?"

Shark tilted his head, as if he was curious about the taste, then raised his head and opened his little mouth, trying to catch more "snacks" falling from the sky.

"Don't eat anything." Jiuji used his palm to shield it from the rain, and scratched the soft flesh of its chin with his fingertips, which made the little guy purr comfortably.

This heartwarming scene, in Naqi's eyes, became the last straw that broke the camel's back of her pride.

She took a deep breath and took the last Poké Ball from her waist.

"Go, my ace, Armored Bird!"

Accompanied by a sharp and high-pitched cry, a giant bird with a metallic glow all over its body spread its wings and flew out!

Its size far exceeds that of an ordinary armored bird, its wingspan is astonishing, each feather is like a carefully polished blade, and its eyes are aloof and sharp, like the monarch of the sky.

This is not just a Pokémon, but also Nagi's partner who soars into the sky.

[Armored Bird, Armored Bird Pokémon, female, Steel, Flying, Level 50, Sturdy.]

"Master Naqi."

Just as Naqi was about to give the order, Jiuji spoke.

"I'm sorry, this little guy was just born and is very clingy, so I had to bring him up here." She raised her chin towards the shark in her arms who was struggling with her fingers, "I couldn't talk too much just now."

"Your Great King Swallow has excellent perseverance, but its fighting style relies too much on speed. If a power-oriented opponent gets close, it's difficult to turn the tables." Jiuji said in a steady voice. "As for the Qixi Bluebird, its advantage lies in its rhythm of switching between offense and defense. It uses its song and soft defense to disrupt the opponent, then strikes the winning blow."

Naqi moved her lips, but couldn't utter a word.

She had always known about her problem, but no one had ever seen it so clearly.

"You..." The emotions surging in Naqi's heart finally turned into a bitter smile, "You are right."

She frankly admitted, "Perhaps my talent really isn't in combat."

Rather than waiting for challengers in the gym, she prefers to fly her Armored Bird and tour the city built on giant trees, planning new suspension bridges and tree houses, or organizing a grand garden party and seeing the smiles on the faces of citizens and tourists.

For her, being a gym leader is more of a responsibility than a passion.

A hint of understanding flashed across Jiuji's eyes.

No wonder.

However, Naqi's eyes quickly became firm again: "However, as the owner of Yinyu City, I will not back down from this battle!"

"Of course, I admire Master Naqi's character."

Jiuji's voice was clearly audible in the rain, and her words were not just a courtesy.

In her understanding, all the gym leaders in the alliance have their own unique "main jobs".

Some are addicted to performing, some are fascinated by archaeology, and some simply treat the dojo as their own dojo.

Only the person in front of me regards building the city and serving the citizens as his career.

This sense of responsibility is far more worthy of respect than simply being strong.

Naqi's fingers holding the Poké Ball froze, and she looked across.

The raindrops slid down Jiuji's forehead, but she didn't care at all. She just lowered her head and gently wiped a drop of rain off Shasha's face with her fingertips.

That calmness, that leisurely feeling as if taking a walk in one's own backyard, is completely out of tune with the tense atmosphere of the battle at the moment.

appreciate?

Naqi chewed on these two words, and the feeling of complete defeat in her heart strangely dissipated a little, replaced by a more complicated emotion.

She had always thought that a top trainer like Jiuji would only care about winning and finding stronger opponents.

"Hakron, let's fight again."

Jiuji's voice sounded again, interrupting Naqi's thoughts.

In the rain, Haxorus, who had just finished a fierce battle, was not tired at all, but full of energy.

Its slender body was slightly raised, and the figure of the giant metal bird opposite was reflected in its blue eyes, and its fighting spirit increased instead of decreasing.

"Huck!"

A clear response, full of desire for battle.

It could feel that there was a force stirring in its body, as if it only needed the last spark to break through the invisible barrier.

The indestructible aura of the opponent in front of it is exactly the whetstone it needs!

Naqi looked at the high-spirited Haxorus, then looked at Jiuji, and finally understood.

The opponent was not humiliating her, but using her trump card to pave a path for his own Pokémon to become stronger.

"Okay!" Naqi's eyes lit up again, "Then come on! Armored Bird, move at high speed!"

At this moment, the little guy in Jiuji's arms became unhappy.

"Ow!"

Shark seemed to be attracted by the shiny armored bird opposite, thinking it was some novel toy.

It struggled violently in Jiuji's arms, opened its big mouth, and made a fake bite in the direction of the armored bird, and also let out a cute and fierce roar that it thought was very deterrent.
