Chapter 159 Playing devil’s advocate

"Mienshao, Dragon Wave!"

Menas opened her mouth and let out an ethereal chant, and a large amount of dragon energy gathered in front of her mouth to form a somewhat unstable energy sphere.

This is a symbol that Menas is not yet proficient in the Dragon Wave move.

She usually uses moves like Dragon Tail that rely on physical strength to attack, or moves like Surfing that release energy over a large area.

However, the Dragon Wave is just right to deal with the large-scale flying leaf storm released by Jiang Zihan's Monarch Snake.

The storm of green leaves destroyed everything in its path like a typhoon. Even the rubble left in the hole in the center of the battlefield created by the two Pokémon was cut madly by the sharp leaves that swept past.

The dragon wave in front of Menas's mouth on the right side of the field turned into four long energy snakes dancing wantonly and collided head-on with the flying leaf storm coming from the left.

A huge air wave surged out, and was then offset by a shield that suddenly appeared like a water film.

"Wow, luckily the school has these shields on every field, otherwise even watching the game would be dangerous."

Lin Yu was startled and almost subconsciously took the ball and asked the Pokémon to help him defend against the aftermath of the battle between the two.

Zhao Xing's eyes widened, and he couldn't stop muttering to himself: "This is outrageous... This shouldn't be... This is too outrageous..."

The flying leaf storm released by the Monarch Snake only lasted for more than ten or twenty seconds in front of the Dragon Wave, and was instantly suppressed by Menas who gradually continued to inject energy into the Dragon Wave in front of his mouth.

The flying leaf storm is like water without a source or a tree without roots. Without the continuous energy supply of the Monarch Snake, it will only gradually wither in the waves.

However, the initial goal of Jiang Zihan and Monarch Snake was not to overwhelm Menas with the first flying leaf storm.

After all, the characteristic of the monarch snake is to [sing the opposite tune]!

Characteristics are one of the special abilities that Pokémon possess, and their effects are varied.

A powerful Pokémon with the right traits can be even more powerful than a tiger with wings; 1+1 can even be greater than 2!

Some properties have powerful effects, but some have useless effects.

Characteristics such as [Laziness], [Slow Start], and [Weakness] are not even as good as blank characteristics, and they also drag down the Pokémon that possess these characteristics.

The devil's advocate feature is exactly what the name implies: devil's advocate feature.

Moves with a power-increasing effect will only have a power-decreasing effect on the Pokémon with that attribute.

Moves that reduce power will increase power on Pokémon with that ability.

The basic power of the move Leaf Storm is quite good, and it is one of the top grass-type moves.

Powerful moves often have some side effects. The side effect of Leaf Storm is that every time a Pokémon uses this move, the Pokémon's own special attack will be greatly reduced.

Singing the opposite tune + Leaf Storm add up to————

Jiang Zihan aimed at the opportunity before the Dragon Wave could completely defeat the Flying Leaf Storm, and ordered again: "Monarch Snake, another Flying Leaf Storm!"

After releasing the first leaf storm, the Monarch Snake took the initiative to cut off the energy supply.

At the same time, a thin layer of red light lit up on her body, which was proof that the special attack power of the Monarch Snake had been enhanced.

The Monarch Snake once again squeezed one-third of the energy reserves in its body, and with a ferocious expression released a flying leaf storm that was more powerful than before, sweeping towards the dragon wave that had defeated the first flying leaf storm!

An even stronger red light shone on its body again, and the scarred body of the monarch snake trembled slightly.

"Sure enough, he was playing devil's advocate as a trump card... as expected."

Su Hao had understood the characteristics of the Monarch Snake from the beginning, so he was naturally prepared for the classic combination of naysayer + flying leaf storm.

He remained calm and reminded Menas: "The bigger one is coming, don't relax."

Upon hearing this, Milotic stared at the second Leaf Storm, and after judging its approximate scale, it cautiously increased its power by another 10%, bringing it to 60%!

It has to be said that Su Hao felt that the members of the Magic City University team were quite capable. A late-stage elite Monarch Serpent could fight his Milotic like this.

Milotic's own energy reserves are much stronger than those of ordinary elite Pokémon, but her current level is only mid-elite.

This means that no matter how much ability she has, her output will still be limited by her own strength.

Although the output is not high, it is continuous!

Now, the dragon's wave with 60% of Menas's power collides with the flying leaf storm of the monarch snake again!

This time, just like before, the flying leaf storm without energy supply lasted for a while but was finally broken by the dragon's wave.

Jiang Zihan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said in disbelief, "Even this way, you can't take down that Mienshao?"

He would believe it if Menus was a newly trained Pokémon by a professional or gym-level trainer.

Even though the Monarch Snake that he had carefully cultivated for three years in college was not his trump card, its combat power was very strong. However, it was suppressed by his junior's Milotic throughout the whole process.

A sophomore student who knew clearly that Jiang Zihan's Monarch Snake was powerful said in horror: "Senior Jiang... seems to be at a disadvantage!?"

"Who on earth is that boy? Even my Crab can't touch that Serpentine, but his Pokémon can actually defeat Serpentine in a head-on fight!" The sophomore student who had just been beaten by Serpentine while using Crab was shocked.

"Look, Senior Jiang has issued another order!"

Outside the venue, Jiang Zihan, with the mentality of dying if he fails, shouted loudly: "Monarch Snake... Leaf Storm!!"

Although he was unwilling to do so, Jiang Zihan could only admit that it wasn't that he didn't want to use other moves, but that only Flying Leaf Storm could compete with the four long energy snakes that looked like they were transforming into dragons.

Normally, after he had the Monarch Snake use Leaf Storm twice, he would often choose to continue the attack using moves such as Energy Ball.

The other moves that his Monarch Snake was good at were only more vulnerable to the Dragon Wave than the Leaf Storm...

Moreover, he and the monarch snake were now forced into a desperate situation.

With the physical fitness of the Monarch Snake, withstanding the special attack bonus brought by two Leaf Storms is already its limit. Before Jiang Zihan finds a way to improve the physical fitness of the Monarch Snake or to autonomously control whether to accept the bonus of going against the tide, two Leaf Storms are already its limit.

After using the third Leaf Storm, the Monarch Snake could not hold on any longer...it would be backfired by the bonus and lose its combat capability in a short while.

He seemed to be comforting himself, and thought as if he was really confident: "This is the end... This time, your Milotic will not be able to stop it!"

After all, even using his professional-level ace to defuse the third flying leaf storm of the Monarch Snake requires a little bit of effort!
