Chapter 394 Your Meow Sister is still your Meow Sister!
As one of the "seed players" with the highest chance of winning this year's "Xia Chi Cup".
The fact that Magic Mask Cat was unable to establish a clear advantage after several rounds of fighting with Zhenyi Fa at the beginning surprised many onlookers.
It's not that I think Fa Jie's strength is bad; as long as she becomes Xia Chi's main Pokémon, none of them are weak.
However, as everyone knows, Xia Chi's Zhenyifa is a "late-game powerhouse," and in the early game, it is basically easy for anyone to control.
Resisting pressure is almost a staple of Fa Jie's matches in the early stages.
However, despite their resilience, no opponent seems to have yet emerged that could truly gain a breakthrough advantage in the early stages of their tight defenses.
Unexpectedly, even when facing the equally agile and unpredictable Magic Masked Cat, Zhenyifa's "turtle in the early stage and exert force in the later stage" tactic still showed amazing resilience.
After several rounds, although Miaoha's fierce offensive made Fa Jie look a little embarrassed, it still failed to break through the decisive gap.
The intense back-and-forth battle on the battlefield immediately sparked heated discussions in the live broadcast room.
[Sister Fa is really a bit strange, how come she always seems to be under pressure when fighting with anyone?]
[Zhenyifa: Just tell me if I defended or not! (Proudly puffing out his chest)]
[Hilarious! Zhenyi can go toe-to-toe with anyone! His resilience is off the charts.]
[But this situation is very bad for Meowha. They failed to crush her in their strongest early push, and now that Sister Fa is getting faster and her recovery is more powerful, how can they possibly win?]
[The main issue is the speed difference; it's really frustrating when Miaoha can't reach Fa Jie...]
[It seems like Meowha needs to come up with some unconventional tactics; it looks like Fa Jie has figured out their conventional methods.]
Just as the comments predicted, the magical masked cat on the field had a sharp light quietly gathering deep within its crimson eyes.
She knew better than anyone the terror of Zhenyi's late-stage abilities.
Never let the battle drag into the opponent's familiar rhythm!
boom--
The last Shadow Orb perished along with the remaining Thousand Flower petals, and the explosive energy turbulence had not yet completely subsided.
Zhenyi hovered in the slightly thin purplish-black smoke, his scarlet eyes fixed on the green figure on the opposite pile of rubble, not daring to relax for a moment.
As the partner who knows each other best, it knows how terrifying Miaoha's relentless and suffocating attack rhythm is.
really.
Almost the instant the smoke and dust from the explosion obscured the view, a blurry green afterimage silently and ruthlessly emerged from the side of the smoke.
Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, Magic Masked Cat used the explosion as cover and his own extreme explosive power to instantly cross nearly half the distance of the court.
The chilling deep purple light on the claws blazed fiercely once more.
Shadow Claw again!
The fierce claw-like wind tore through the air, emitting a ghostly shriek, heading straight for the location where the flapping wings were now.
However, at the very moment that the Magic Masked Cat activated, the Winged Cat's body had already drifted rapidly to the side and rear.
boom-
The dark claws left afterimages as the wolf slashed down at the spot where it had hovered a second before flapping its wings, carving several grooves with charred energy edges into the already cracked rock below.
The flying pebbles failed to touch the wings of the bird even slightly.
Zhenyi steadied himself at a safe distance, a glint of light flashing in his scarlet eyes.
It is all too familiar with the rapid, coordinated attacks that Meowha launches by leveraging the environment.
But its vigilance did not relax in the slightest, its gaze fixed on the Magic Masked Cat, which had just finished its attack and whose body had paused slightly.
Following the usual pattern, another, even more intense attack is likely to follow.
However, in that brief moment, the energy fluctuations surging around the Magic Masked Cat made Zhenyi's keen senses jump!
That was no longer the aggressive Dark or Ghost type energy, but a... strange and distorted superpower fluctuation that seemed to interfere with the order of space and time!
The fluctuation quickly spread outwards from the center of Magical Masked Cat.
Wherever it passed, the air seemed to thicken, the light became slightly distorted, and an indescribable sense of unease enveloped the area.
This is... a magic space!
Its crimson eyes widened instantly; it could hardly believe its senses.
A magic space?
That move that can distort the rules of space and change the speed of Pokémon in the field?
To catch up with my speed, you'd even resort to techniques like spatial manipulation?
Hagi, you're absolutely insane!
Zhenyi's heart was instantly filled with a sense of absurdity and urgency.
But it reacted extremely quickly. Almost the instant it recognized the nature of the energy, its fighting instincts drove it to take countermeasures. It had to interrupt with [Taunt] and once again block her varied moves!
"Waaah!"
The evil energy within Zhenyi's body surged rapidly, attempting to extinguish the root of this move before the magic space was fully formed.
However, the moment it mobilized its energy, an invisible and powerful binding force suddenly descended.
The magic space is activated!
The rules of space were forcibly distorted. Originally known for its speed and ghostly swift movements, Zhenyi felt as if it had been slowed down several times.
On the other side, the Magic Masked Cat, which was originally slightly slower, became incredibly swift due to the distorted spatial rules.
She even had the ease to gracefully sidestep the slowly approaching [provocative] energy wave.
Ruined!
The alarm bells in the heart of the machine rang wildly.
Speed is the cornerstone of its tactical system and the key to its maneuvering and delaying tactics in order to accumulate the Netherworld Mark.
If even this sole advantage is lost, then facing the onslaught of the Magical Masked Cat will be completely unstoppable.
The panic lasted only a moment; Zhenyi's powerful combat abilities quickly forced it to calm down.
There's another way!
Its scarlet eyes darted around rapidly.
Oh right, magic space... I can do that too!
Although it is not commonly used, this move is indeed in the skill pool of the Winged Blow.
Once the second magic space is activated, the combined effects of the two spaces will clash and cancel out this distorted spacetime.
Without hesitation, the moment the idea formed, Zhenyi Fa immediately focused his mind, forcibly suppressing the discomfort caused by the spatial distortion, and began to gather the superpower within his body to release his magic space.
Obscure supernatural energy fluctuations once again emanated from its body.
Buzz—
The next instant, a familiar wave of malevolent energy struck.
It's the same kind of provocation!
This provocative energy wave, accelerated by the magic space, was much faster than the winged machine had anticipated. It had no time to make any effective evasion or defense, and the energy wave hit it precisely.
The slight surge of super energy that had just emanated from Zhenyi's body instantly dissipated.
The channels through which change-type energy circulates within the body are once again brutally blocked by the provocative force.
This naturally means that the release of the magic space was forcibly interrupted.
"!!!"
An incredulous look of astonishment appeared in Zhenyi's scarlet eyes.
Hagi-meow, you... you even predicted this?
It raised its head and looked across.
The Magic Masked Cat landed lightly on a high pebble, its crimson eyes calmly looking back at it.
Obviously, that's the truth.
Not only did Magic Masked Cat prepare the amazing card [Trick Space], but it also accurately predicted the possible follow-up move of Zhenyifa.
They also prepared a second [provocation] to blockade the area in advance.
In the trick space where speed is reversed, it is almost impossible to dodge the [Taunt] that comes after the opponent's move.
The complete blocking of transformation-type moves means that Zhenyifa has lost all means of countering [Trick Room].
It could only endure the onslaught of the Magic Masked Cat's attacks in this extremely unfavorable distorted spacetime until the effect of [Trick Space] naturally ended.
But the Magic Masked Cat clearly wasn't going to give it any chance to breathe.
With the aid of distorted space, the green figure transformed into a streak of light that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, and then burst forth once more.
The deep purple, dark claw blade tore through space, carrying an even more terrifying speed and power than before, and slashed down at Zhenyifa, whose movements were slowed by the spatial constraints.
Its pupils constricted as it flapped its wings with all its might, trying to dodge.
However, under the influence of the magic space, its dodging movements appear so clumsy and slow.
laugh-
The Shadow Claw hit squarely.
The doubled amount of restrained Netherworld energy poured into Zhenyifa's body like a leech clinging to his bones.
It let out a painful groan, its body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, the purplish-black aura around it surging violently, and its aura instantly weakening considerably.
The excruciating pain stimulated his nerves, but it also stirred up the ruthlessness and pride deep within Zhenyi's bones.
It endured the pain and, while being knocked away in mid-air, forcefully twisted its body and pushed its wings forward.
Several [Shadow Spheres] wreathed in a chilling, dark purple energy were launched in quick succession, their target the Magic Masked Cat who had just finished its attack.
While she's still Ghost-type, use a move that's twice as effective against her to retaliate.
If it hits, it's an effective exchange of health, so it's not too bad.
However, when faced with the incoming Shadow Ball, Magic Masked Cat neither dodged nor avoided it, and did not even try to use the [Changeable] trait to switch attributes to reduce the damage.
She pushed off with her feet, shattering the rocks, and instead of retreating, she charged forward, heading straight for the Shadow Ball.
At the same time, a dark light began to gather frantically on his right claw once more.
She would fight fire with fire, unleashing all her power within the limited time of the magic space, using the most ruthless method to completely crush Zhenyifa before his "Netherworld Mark" was fully stacked.
This is a blatant and overt conspiracy.
In a battle of attrition and recovery, the Magic Masked Cat, with its dual lifesteal effects of [Dance of Death] and [Light: Bloodthirsty Sword], has an absolute advantage in direct blood-swapping.
As for Zhenyifa, at this moment, the "Netherworld Mark" level is pitifully low, and the recovery and bonus it provides are negligible.
The Shadow Balls struck the charging Magic Masked Cat repeatedly, exploding into clouds of purplish-black energy smoke.
The Magical Masked Cat's body trembled violently, and several charred wounds appeared on her body, but her momentum did not diminish, and her eyes were as sharp as knives.
The second [Shadow Claw] pierced through the energy smoke, tearing fiercely at an even more cunning angle onto the barely raised wings of the vibrating wings.
Zhenyi was cleaved away again, and the erosion of the Netherworld energy at the wound caused its already weakened state to continue to deteriorate.
It gritted its teeth and once again condensed a [Shadow Ball] to retaliate.
In the distorted spacetime, the shadowy claws and the purplish-black energy spheres constantly clashed and collided, each encounter accompanied by a violent depletion of energy and the accumulation of injuries.
Zhenyi tried his best to maneuver, but his condition continued to decline.
Even though the Fairy attribute bond caused the disguise to refresh again, it was quickly broken by the Magic Masked Cat's attack.
Worse still, the continuous increase in the "Netherworld Mark" did not help Zhenyi Hair.
Instead, due to the existence of the magic space, it became an accomplice in making the Magic Masked Cat stronger and faster as it fought.
Meanwhile, the [Grass] bond effect of Magical Masked Cat is steadily working, and her physical attack is steadily increasing over time.
As one side gains and the other loses, the already fragile physical defense of the Winged Beast becomes even more vulnerable in the face of the increasingly heavy claw attacks from the Magic Masked Cat.
boom-
The sounds of energy clashing continued incessantly, and the state of the flapping wings steadily declined like a candle flickering in the wind.
Its purplish-black body was covered in wounds, and its breath grew weaker and weaker.
Although the Magic Masked Cat also suffered serious injuries, the damage-to-healing effect of [Dance of Death] and the lifesteal of [Bloodthirster] allowed her to maintain an advantage in health.
Finally, just before the effects of the magic space were about to dissipate, the Magic Masked Cat grabbed Zhenyi, who was stiffened due to severe injuries.
A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and the energy attributes around her suddenly switched.
The dark, ghostly energy receded like a tide, replaced by a blazing explosion, a flame that seemed capable of burning everything.
Endless fire energy gathered wildly between her sharp claws, eventually transforming into a blazing white fireball, condensed to its extreme, with what appeared to be a sun burning inside.
At the edge of the fireball, the air was distorted and deformed by the high temperature, exuding a destructive aura.
V-Flame!
This is a fire-attribute physical attack move that she learned from "sketching" in Victini, concentrating all her power and conviction into a single strike.
With the final acceleration in the magic space, this attack was as fast as lightning and unavoidable.
The rapidly enlarging blazing white fireball was reflected in Zhenyi's pupils. It tried to dodge with its last bit of strength, but its severely injured body and the remaining spatial constraints made it powerless.
boom-
The blazing white fireball slammed solidly into the winged machine.
The terrifying heat and impact force erupted instantly, transforming into a blazing ball of light several meters in diameter, completely engulfing its form.
The shockwave from the explosion completely cleared away the surrounding rubble, melting it into a glass-like crater.
The light dissipated.
Zhenyi's body lay in the center of the charred crater, incapacitated.
The Magic Masked Cat landed lightly on the edge of the pit, panting slightly. It had many wounds and charred marks on its body, but its eyes were still bright.
Her upright posture proclaims victory in this battle for the title of "Number One".
The chat in Qishu's live stream exploded.
[No upsets! Meowha is awesome!]
You can always trust Magic Masked Cat!
[It's true that her intelligence surpasses everyone else's; every step Sister Fa takes is exactly what Miaoha predicted...]
To be honest, I was stunned when the magic space appeared. Who would have thought that Magic Mask Cat could use a magic space?
[Even though they're both disciples of Xia Chi, there's a difference in their strength! (Katie doge emoji)]
【Your Meow Sister is still your Meow Sister!】
