Chapter 17 Su Yuan “I just learned photosynthesis directly”
"Chirp——"
Many root-like objects suddenly emerged from under the body of Pseudo Mantis and took root on the ground. At the same time, the Flying Leaf Knife was activated almost as soon as it took root.
However, what is different from before is that this time, the pseudomantis did not throw away the flying leaves and conduct a long-distance physical attack. Instead, it covered its own sickle leaves with the flying leaves.
Then...
"Boga!"
Bogaman's attack also came violently.
The sharp beak of the bird continued to peck, but was blocked one by one by the flying leaves of the pseudomantis.
That's right, this is Su Yuan's purpose.
Using the Flying Leaf Knife in a continuous slash does not mean that it will be the same as the Continuous Slash. The damage of the Flying Leaf Knife will increase every time you use it. Instead, it imitates the appearance of the Continuous Slash, transforming the Flying Leaf Knife which is originally a non-contact move into a non-contact move.
Make a contact move.
To put it bluntly, this flying leaf blade is the prototype of a leaf blade!
Since long-distance attacks will be scattered, can they still be done at such a close range?
As for why not just use the convenience of continuous slashing?
Not to mention that the continuous slash of the insect type is not the original move of Pseudo Mantis, and does not have a 1.5 times power bonus. The power of the continuous slash itself is lower than that of the Flying Leaf Knife, and there is no difference when it comes to resisting pecks.
But if you include counterattacks, that's a different story.
Although the power of continuous slashes can be superimposed, the Flying Leaf Knife itself can also increase the probability of hitting vital points. Coupled with the power bonus and restraint bonus of this system, the damage is naturally higher than that of continuous slashes.
"Boga!"
In such a close hand-to-hand battle, it is impossible for both Pokémon to remain intact, let alone when neither Pokémon has much fighting experience.
When Bogaman's peck hit the body of False Mantis, the flying leaves of False Mantis also hit Bogaman.
The figures that had been struggling fiercely together suddenly separated.
"Are you okay! Bogaman?"
Guang's voice sounded a little anxious, and the force of this blow to Fei Ye Kuai Dao was somewhat beyond her expectation.
"Boga... Boga!!"
Bogaman held his body up tremblingly, preventing himself from falling. He was obviously hurt a lot.
"Why......?"
Guang was a little puzzled, "Obviously the attack was lowered at the beginning, shouldn't the damage be so high?"
"Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten to tell you."
Su Yuan spoke at the right time: "Because this is the first time I've seen pseudomantis grass, you probably don't understand the characteristics of pseudomantis grass yet, right?"
"The characteristics of pseudomantis...?"
"Well, generally speaking, the characteristics of false mantis grass are basically leaf defense. This characteristic will not fall into an abnormal state in a sunny environment."
Su Yuan explained: "However, my pseudomantis, like your Bogaman, has hidden characteristics. The hidden characteristics of pseudomantis are exactly the opposite. You should be able to understand it."
Singing... playing devil's advocate, right?
Guang nodded thoughtfully. Being familiar with and understanding each characteristic was a must in high school.
She knew the trait of playing devil's advocate, but knowing this trait didn't mean she knew which Pokémon would have it.
"Attack power increased by one level..."
The puzzled expression on his face disappeared, and Guang became serious for a moment: "It seems I still have a long way to go."
The battle is still going on, and like Pogaman who was severely injured, the situation here at False Mantis is also very bad, which Su Yuan expected.
So at the beginning of the meeting, he allowed the pseudomantis to take root.
In the rooted state, the movement of the pseudomantis is undoubtedly restricted, which is equivalent to completely giving up speed.
But in contrast, giving up speed in exchange for longer endurance.
It continuously draws energy from far away from the earth to restore its physical strength.
This is the skill of taking root.
It is also something most grass-type Pokémon are born with.
Seeing that False Mantis constantly absorbs strength to restore its physical strength, Guang's expression is a little solemn. False Mantis has recovery skills, but Bogaman does not.
Although the movement of False Mantis is restricted by the rhizomes extending out from under its body, from the very beginning, Su Yuan did not intend to do anything fancy, but just forced you to fight hand-to-hand.
It's not that Bogaman doesn't know how to use long-range moves, but those are basically water-type moves. In addition, it's a sunny day. Even if the most powerful foam light hits, it shouldn't be able to recover as much physical strength as the pseudomantis.
Bar.
It's like watering the pseudomantis.
Moreover, False Mantis's Flying Blade is a long-range move.
Even if it is unable to move, the pseudomantis will still hit you whenever it wants.
Maybe Bogaman can break up the Flying Blade once or twice, but can he really break it up three or four times in a row?
This is unrealistic.
Originally, in her imagination, she should have used her cry to weaken the opponent's attack power, and then used Bogaman's hidden trait of not admitting defeat to catch Su Yuan off guard.
Now that I think about it, it's a good thing that I didn't let Bogaman use the scream continuously.
Otherwise, I should have lost directly by now.
"No time to hesitate..."
Guang knew very well that hesitation would lead to defeat. Now that some of the scars on Pseudo Mantis's body had been healed, Su Yuan could delay time, but she couldn't afford it. For her, the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it was.
When facing grass-type Pokémon, you must use a ferocious attack like fire to defeat them!
"Pogaman..."
Guang gave Bogaman an encouraging look and cheered: "Let's decide the winner directly like this!"
"Boga!"
Bogaman waved his two little wings, indicating that there was no problem.
"Peck!"
"If that's the case, then we have to do our best!"
Su Yuan pressed the brim of his hat and inadvertently raised the corner of his mouth: "If the outcome can be determined by one blow, then of course it will be the one with the highest power——"
"Fei Ye——"
"Chirp——"
Before Su Yuan could finish his words, a large number of leaves suddenly appeared around the pseudomantis, and finally quickly gathered into a small tornado, crashing down towards Bogaman!
In reality, rooting has more than just the function of restoring physical strength. It absorbs the power of the earth, and restoring physical strength is only part of its function.
Relying on the power of the earth, the speed of False Mantis's flying leaf storm is also faster than usual.
But that's not important at all.
The important thing is that the flying leaf storm at this time has completely swallowed up Bogaman's petite body.
There was no accident at all. When the flying leaf tornado dispersed, Bogaman's eyes turned into mosquito-repellent coils and lay helplessly on the ground. Apparently, he had temporarily lost his ability to fight.
The outcome is decided.
Guang hurried over and made sure Bogaman was okay before putting it back into the Poké Ball.
"It's true. He suddenly used Flying Leaf Storm. It really scared me to death just now."
Guang rolled his eyes at Su Yuan angrily and said.
"Sorry sorry..."
Su Yuan also scratched his head in embarrassment. He really just wanted Pseudo Mantis to use the flying blade.
only......
The pseudomantis, which obviously became a little active on a sunny day, misunderstood its intention and used it to become a flying leaf storm.
His bond with False Mantis is not deep enough. For those master Pokémon trainers, even if they just call out the Pokémon's name, their Pokémon can immediately understand and respond to his thoughts.
However, there is still a long way to go, and he and Pseudomantis have just begun.
His eyes fell on the pseudomantis that was taking root and working hard to carry out photosynthesis. In a daze, Su Yuan seemed to feel that he had understood something. This feeling was very familiar and yet strange.
It's almost the same as when I first learned how to roar loudly.
Su Yuan saw "photosynthesis" and understood what photosynthesis was.
As a result, his expression became a little weird...
Just like the instinct of the body, he seemed to...suddenly learned the trick of photosynthesis...?
Nope.
Su Yuan secretly complained, I'm not a plant, why can I photosynthesize?
Why can I photosynthesize?
I'll take photosynthesis?
.........
(PS: The photosynthesis of pseudomantis mentioned above refers to the normal photosynthesis carried out by ordinary plants, not the photosynthesis in the moves, which is what Su Yuan understood.)
