Pokémon: Why do you call me the sixth trainer?

Chapter 261 Battle against the Heavenly King (Ning Xi Line) (no protagonist)

While Chen An was still chatting with Ban Xia (?), the first game had already begun.

Although it was a sandstorm site, the artificial sandstorm environment was still much weaker than the elf skills. At least Rotom's camera was not affected.

Seeing Ning Xi staring at the sandstorm, An Ran smiled on the other side: "Since you are still hesitating, I will take action first."

As he finished speaking, a dark-brown elf appeared in the sandstorm,

Seeing the elf in the sandstorm who seemed to be holding a pair of axes, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice,

The Axe-Splitting Mantis, with insect + rock attributes, is an unpopular evolution of the Flying Mantis, because it abandons the speed gain brought by the wings that the Flying Mantis is proud of, and instead pursues more violent attacks and a harder body.

Although the conditions for evolution are relatively clear, the axe-splitting mantis itself has a violent and irritable character, as well as difficult-to-balance evolutionary nodes. Although it has a good attribute combination, few people will rashly evolve.

Why is it difficult to find nodes? The huge and heavy rock ax head of the Ax-Splitting Mantis and the body without wings mean that it is contrary to the "dexterity" of the Flying Mantis' talent. It focuses more on explosive power.

——If it evolves too early, the potential of the Flying Mantis will not be fully developed, and many skills will have to be practiced from scratch, which will result in half the effort with half the effort.

——If it evolves too late, it will lose the dexterous wings it is accustomed to, and it will also have a difficult running-in period.

Of course, another point is that the output of the black stone needed to evolve into an axe-splitting mantis is too low, and the price is much higher than the metal film that can be artificially produced.

Therefore, the three conditions of high cost, difficulty in cultivation, and poor personality make it difficult for the Ax-Splitting Mantis to rival the Giant Pincer Mantis in terms of popularity and appearance rate.

Of course, the above is just for ordinary people.

As a king-level trainer, the above three difficulties are not a problem.

...

Looking at the calm Ax Splitting Mantis in the sandstorm, Ning Xi took a deep breath, took off the elf ball from her waist,

"It's up to you!"

A red light flashed, and a large blue-black bird appeared in the sandstorm, its red eyes staring closely at the axe-splitting mantis.

.......

"Attack first! Yan Hui!"

Looking at the blue crow that turned into silver light, An Ran smiled slightly and said calmly, "Next, use the rock axe."

The axe-splitting mantis raised his left hand to block the blue jay's attack.

"Ah-"

"Get away!"

A harsh sound sounded, and before the blue jay could pull away, the right hand of the mantis slashed hard, but only brought up a large piece of feathers.

The blue crow escaped with its feather dance and flew in the air, continuing to stare at the axe-splitting mantis.

"I've asked you to take the lead, so it's my turn to attack with the sharp stone and then follow with the sword dance."

"Interrupt him! Steel Wings!"

If Ning Xi was still a little confused when he heard the sharp stone attack, he had already reacted after hearing the second command. The opponent's sharp stone attack was just to protect himself with a sword dance.

However, at this time, rock protrusions began to appear around Axe-Splitting Mantis. With the sandstorm, except for a little black, it was impossible to see where he was.

The blue jay turned into a stream of light again and rushed towards the Ax Mantis. The sharp stone attack like a barrier was cut off from it, but this short time difference was enough for the Ax Mantis to use its sword dance to "knock him down."

"Lift off!"

However, the prepared axe-splitting mantis did not give the blue jay a chance to escape. Rocks of all sizes appeared from all directions and directly smashed the blue jay to the ground.

"Little blue!"

"Crack!"

The stone exploded and the blue jay struggled to take off,

"Continuous cuts!"

Seeing the blue jay dodging in embarrassment, An Ran seemed to see Ning Xi on the opposite side through the sandstorm: "On the field, a trainer's hesitation can be fatal."

"Tsk." Ning Xi bit her lip subconsciously. Xiaolan had been stuck at level 37 for a long time, but could not break through. It was just its wings...

"Crack!"

The blue jay's screams brought Ning Xi back to her senses, only to see that when she was entangled,

The blue jay has been shot down from the air by the axe-splitting mantis and hit hard on an invisible rock. At this time, the axe-splitting mantis is standing on the rock that has not dissipated, looking down at the blue jay.

"Ka!" The blue jay stared at the opposite side fiercely, struggling to stand up, as if unwilling to be looked down upon,

Ning Xi struggled, but An Ran's instructions came clearly to her ears.

"Cross scissors."

The axe-splitting mantis jumped up high. It was obviously a black stone axe, but it seemed to be shining with the unique light of metal. Ning Xi shouted almost subconsciously,

"Cannon light cannon!"

"What?!" (Audience)

"Next!" (An Ran)

Silver light suddenly erupted from Blue Crow's body. Although he did not completely offset the attack of Ax Splitting Mantis in his haste, his attack also missed him.

The ax of the ax chopping mantis struck beside the blue jay, and large pieces of feathers were neatly cut off.

Looking at the black ax head of the axe-splitting mantis, the blue jay almost froze on the spot.

"Fly!" Ning Xi's voice came. The blue jay flapped its wings almost subconsciously, but the incomplete feathers affected its balance. It just escaped a few meters in embarrassment.

"Continuous cuts."

"Steel Wings!"

"Ah-"

The sound of metal colliding sounded, but the blue jay, who was hastily fighting, was once again forced to look up at the opponent. His scarlet eyes reminded him of the past——

A dazzling white light flashed, and the axe-splitting mantis stopped attacking under the instinct of evolutionary light, and slowly retreated.

The blue jay's body expanded rapidly in the white light,

The white light dissipated, and a big bird that looked like it was wearing black armor stood there.

Ning Xi looked at the steel-armored crow in the field with surprise, and almost subconsciously wanted to rush over.

"The game isn't over yet and you want to admit defeat?"

An Ran's voice made Ning Xi wake up and realize that she was still in the game.

"Sorry! I'm so excited!"

"Little Blue! Fly! Use steel wings!"

Compared to the more powerful Brave Bird's attack, Ning Xi chose the Steel Wing, which can benefit from the steel element bonus. Seeing this, An Ran sighed slightly,

The huge steel-armored crow rushed towards the Ax Splitting Mantis with silver light.

"Teleport, click until it's over."

"What!" (Ning Xi + audience)

The seemingly bulky Ax Splitting Mantis stood there, with only the afterimage of the steel-armored crow passing through him proving his speed.

Before Ning Xi could react, the ax-splitting mantis had already appeared on the back of the steel-armored crow. The huge ax pliers hooked the steel-armored crow's neck. The strong sense of suffocation made the steel-armored crow slightly distracted.

In just such an instant, Axe-Splitting Mantis launched him with a flying kick, knocking him out of the battle area.

"boom!"

The hard body hit the surrounding barriers and made a huge roar,

Ning Xi quickly ran over, "Xiao Lan!"

The steel-armored crow shook his head and stood up. For him who was a steel type, this kind of impact was really not much damage.

"In many cases, pursuing attribute restraint and bonuses is not the best choice." An Ran's voice came from the opposite side.

Ning Xi and the steel-armored crow looked at the sound,

"Although the Ax Splitting Mantis, who pursues powerful power, has lost the wings of other forms, his yearning for speed has not disappeared in his bones. Judging the opponent's shortcomings based on appearance and [common sense] alone can be fatal."

An Ran caressed the axe-splitting mantis beside him,

“If you treat your opponents as [templated] data in a textbook, then reality is your best teacher.”

"I understand, thank you for your advice." Ning Xi said seriously,

An Ran smiled, "The so-called [shadow] is just because your heart is not strong enough. When you become truly strong, you will find that the so-called shadow is just a shackle that you put on yourself."

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, just as the communicator on An Ran's body sounded, An Ran took back the mantis splitting ax,

"Sorry, I have something else to do, so that's the end of today's battle."
