Chapter 36 The Cunning Tengu

"what!"

No one expected that, faced with such a predicament, Lu An would refuse to settle for a draw.

Ning Ren's eyes, beneath his thick, dark eyebrows, revealed a look of surprise.

He put in a lot of effort and hard work to become an excellent trainer.

He joined the university team, became the president of the battle club, and eventually became a professional trainer.

This is all a reward for his hard work.

However, despite his exceptional fighting talent in the eyes of others, he has a small unresolved issue.

That is, he can never get the Goldenrod Gym Badge.

As a resident of Golden City, Ning Ren knew that the name of the genius girl, Nazi, was widely known.

She displayed amazing superpowers from a young age and became the designated successor to the Goldenrod Gym in her teens.

They were only a few years older than me, but their abilities were worlds apart.

To non-trainers, Ningren and Sabrina might seem like professional trainers and gym leaders respectively, only one level apart.

However, Ning Ren was well aware that even two people of the same level could sometimes have vastly different strengths.

There are countless trainers with gym power, but in one region, there are only eight officially recognized gym leaders.

Sabrina, the Gym Leader of the Goldenrod Gym, is among the best even among Gym Leaders.

He was merely a beginner in the professional trainer class.

Therefore, as a resident of Golden City, Ningren always considered challenging Natsumi and obtaining the Golden Badge as his goal.

To this end, he went to the Hoenn region to study and even tamed the Dark-type Stranglethorn.

However, Ning Ren never expected that the several deadly moves he had prepared for Nazi would be forced out by the handsome young man in front of him.

This dealt a heavy blow to Ningren, who was determined to achieve his goal with Natsume.

In addition, Lu An and Guang Bu's strength was indeed worthy of recognition, so he took the initiative to propose peace.

To everyone's surprise, Lu An rejected him.

Seeing that his attempt to extend goodwill had been rejected, Ningren narrowed his eyes and said, "I understand."

"Cunning Tengu, use Phosphor Fire!"

"Suo Luo!"

At Ningren's command, the cunning celestial dog clapped its banana leaf-like hands together, and several balls of flame emerged from its side.

"Suo Luo!"

The cunning Tengu fanned the banana leaves, and seven or eight phosphorescent flames immediately swayed in the wind and flew towards Seibou.

This is not over yet.

Although he didn't know why the Espeon on the other side wasn't dodging the oncoming phosphorescent fire, Ningren had no intention of letting the attack stop just like that.

"The cunning tengu, following behind the phosphorescent flames, is using the 'double whammy' tactic!"

"Soaring!"

==≡??(`乩′?)?

Because it was still a sunny day on the arena, the cunning tengu, which possessed the chlorophyll property, was incredibly agile.

It's hard to imagine that such a speed of movement could come from a Pokémon that weighs over 100 pounds.

The cunning tengu from Hoenn made a powerful entrance and immediately exuded a sense of oppression.

As apprentices at the Goldenrod Gym, almost everyone recognizes these two moves.

"Phosphorus Fire is a variant move. Once Espeon is hit by Phosphorus Fire, it will be burned."

"In this state, Seib will continue to suffer damage from phosphorescence."

An older apprentice stepped forward, his expression serious:

"Not only that, the cunning tengu's next move, 'misfortunes never come singly,' is even more ambitious."

"If Espeon gets burned, Misfortune can unleash double its power."

"Plus, it's a Ghost-type move, which is naturally strong against Espeon. If these two moves hit in a row, Espeon might lose the match on the spot."

The onlookers were amazed by Ning Ren's command.

"The people of Ning are really well prepared."

"If I were on the field, I would probably use Trick Room, at least to ensure my speed advantage."

"If I had known this would happen, I would have accepted Ning's offer of a draw."

"Yes, facing the siege of phosphorescent fire and the cunning tengu that is watching us like a hawk, wouldn't it be very embarrassing to lose?"

Although the apprentices see Lu An and Espeon as being at a significant disadvantage, they do not laugh at Lu An.

After all, they had witnessed Espeon's strength over the past few days.

It's safe to say that none of you here are a match for Sun Ibrahimovic.

However, Ningren was simply too well-prepared to challenge the Saffron Gym.

First, it sealed most of the Light Cloth's moves, and then it used Sunny Day to give the Cunning Tengu a speed advantage.

Its Dark-type attribute renders Lightbringer's most proficient psychic abilities almost useless.

In addition, there's the deadly combination of [Phosphorus Fire] and [Misfortunes Never Come Alone].

Even if Sabrina herself were here, she would be quite flustered facing Ningren's two professional-level Pokémon.

Unless she sends out a Master-level Mr. Mime and Alakazam.

However, despite this seemingly inescapable situation in the eyes of the Goldenrod Gym apprentices, Lu An simply chuckled.

A cheerful laugh echoed through the dojo.

"It seems this is your full strength. Too bad. Don't underestimate superpowers."

Don't underestimate superpowers?

what does that mean?

Doesn't Lu An know that superpowers can't harm my cunning tengu at all?

A shadow crossed Ning's mind, and then he could only watch helplessly as what happened next unfolded.

"Light Cloth, use your mental focus!"

"Buyi!"

?(^?^)?

Under the watchful eyes of Ning Ren and his apprentices, several beams of light shot out from between the foreheads of Seiya.

These powerful spiritual thoughts accurately struck all the phosphorescent flames thrown out by the cunning tengu.

These phosphorescent flames, which were originally meant to possess Espeon and inflict a burning effect, seemed to have encountered invisible cages and stopped in mid-air.

No matter how the phosphorescent flames rushed left and right, they could only move within a space of less than a foot square.

Forget about hitting Espeon, it can't even move freely!

That wasn't the end of it. Before Ningren could react, the cunning tengu, whose agility was already at its maximum under the [Sunny Day], was suddenly struck by a powerful mental attack.

"Suo Luo!"

☆o(＞＜；)o

After forcing the cunning tengu to stop, this powerful spiritual force quickly split into four parts, each landing on one of the tengu's limbs, binding it firmly in place like chains.

"Suo Luo!"

("＞＜)"

And so this scene unfolded on the arena:

Eight clusters of phosphorescent flames bounced helplessly in the air, while the cunning tengu stood in a "T" shape, limbs outstretched, struggling desperately but to no avail.

In the distance, Espeon slowly walked with cat-like steps to the struggling Tengu, its forked tail gently touching its neck.

【Iron Tail】.

In just a second, the situation on the field changed dramatically, leaving everyone breathless.
