Chapter 824 The Long War of Attrition_1

After five minutes, Fang Yuan's team had tried almost every type of attack, with Gengar's moves down to the last one unused.

However, no matter the attack, they were unable to affect this Wobbuffet, even sealing techniques of the transformation type couldn't seal the opponent's moves; a Mysterious Guard simply unreasonably isolated all Curse Power.

Even the Subspace Cleavage from Super Gengar couldn't break through...

This move, within Fang Yuan Team, could rank in the top 5 for single-target lethality.

Therefore, even if they sent out other Pokémon, it probably wouldn't make a difference.

Unless it was a Z-Move, only an attack of Guardian God Level could severely injure Wobbuffet.

But the consumption for that was simply too great.

If it were a challenger like Fu Hei with abundant resources, they wouldn't mind the consumption, who would they fear, naturally not worried about this obstacle and just sweeping past it.

But Fang Yuan was different; he had too few combat forces available to him.

Therefore, Glutton must defeat Wobbuffet and couldn't let it continue to wear down other Pokémon.

This Wobbuffet recovers physical strength too quickly; dragging out time, Fang Yuan couldn't afford it.

Fang Yuan ultimately made a decision, planning to use that one move to settle the battle.

Although doing so would cause more severe injuries than normally losing combat capability, if he didn't swap out this Wobbuffet, it would be very disadvantageous for his subsequent challenges.

"Koje~~!!"

Glutton looked at his opponent with an unwilling expression, the battle really blew its mind.

How could there be such a disgusting Pokémon.

No matter what attack, it would be blocked and reflected back; such an ability was causing Glutton to somewhat break down.

You could at least counterattack, but Wobbuffet just wouldn't move, quietly waiting there.

"Solloh~~~!" Wobbuffet revealed a smiling face, seemingly mocking Glutton.

At this moment, Eevee, Monferno and the rest felt sorry for Glutton; it was a good thing that Wobbuffet wasn't their opponent, as they didn't really like facing such opponents either.

"Glutton, Shadow Ball!" At this time, Fang Yuan spoke up again.

At the same time, another command was issued through Mind Induction.

After that, Fang Yuan could only hope that Milotic could quickly heal Glutton after the battle.

"Koje?? (｀д′)"

Upon hearing this command, Glutton was stunned for a moment, then understood and immediately grinned, hurling the Spiral Shadow Ball like throwing a shot put.

On Wobbuffet's side, the response was naturally Mirror Coat.

Because no matter how many times it came, it was the same, Wobbuffet believed in its absolute defense.

"Solloh~~~" Facing the incoming Shadow Ball, Wobbuffet's body flashed with white light, and sure enough, the Shadow Ball was bounced back once more.

The black beam of light, as if it was released by Wobbuffet itself, aimed at the distant Glutton.

"Koje!!!" This time facing the reflected move, Glutton bared its teeth and mentally cursed, deciding not to dodge this time.

Not only did it not dodge, but Glutton's figure flashed and vanished, teleporting directly next to Wobbuffet and took the move at an extremely close range.

The rebounded and enhanced Shadow Ball was fatal to Super Gengar, who after fighting for five minutes had diminished physical strength, enough to create a one-hit kill situation, which was also the only method Fang Yuan could think of to take down the opponent.

"Try this then," Fang Yuan clenched his teeth, the explosion's shockwave instantly enveloped between the two Pokémon.

Before the tremendous energy exploded, Glutton sacrificed all its power, using the "Destiny Bond" move; this Curse Power, along with Glutton suffering heavy damage, immediately turned into a beam of light and coiled around the confused Wobbuffet.

"Koje (bye-bye, never see you again)~!"

As Glutton lost consciousness with that farewell, Wobbuffet realized that this Curse Power, compared to the previous Curse Power, was much vaster; even Mysterious Guard, Mirror Coat, and Return Fist couldn't block it.

The power of Destiny Bond wasn't strong, but such a Curse was truly miraculous, able to ignore most forces and affect the opponent, of course, the cost of Destiny Bond was also large.

In that instant, Wobbuffet felt like night had fallen, and dark shadows spread across the land, emitting countless mysterious glows, looking from afar full of the aura of death, transforming into a palm extending towards itself.

"So it turned out to be Destiny Bond after all."

In the end, Fang Yuan chose to trade one for one, using Destiny Bond, and Master Qiao Jing wasn't surprised at all.

With her abundant experience, she naturally knew that Destiny Bond was one method for Glutton to break her Wobbuffet's absolute defense.

This tactic, she had encountered countless times in battle already.

They had also developed means to counter Destiny Bond, however, these were only effective against weaker Destiny Bond moves; like Super Gengar's Destiny Bond, it was still hard to resist from an opponent of the same level.

"Solloh (how terrifying)!!!"

Being entangled by countless ghostly hands, which drained its vitality, Wobbuffet finally couldn't hold on any longer and directly passed out.

...

Although the match was barely a draw, Fang Yuan wasn't very happy.

After using Destiny Bond, Gengar's consumption was even greater than simply losing consciousness.

Milotic is going to be very tired now...

If nothing unexpected happens, he will need a lot of time after this battle to rest and recover.

"Continue."

Fang Yuan recalled the devolved Gengar, Glutton, into the Poké Ball and handed it to Rotom, then looked towards Master Qiao Jing, waiting for him to send out his second Pokémon.

"Alright, my second Pokémon is this one."

Master Qiao Jing didn't waste any time and pressed the Poké Ball.

This was a Pokémon with an egg-shaped body, pink on the upper half, and white on the lower part.

General series, Happiness Egg.

The type of the Pokémon didn't surprise Fang Yuan.

Its strength didn't either.

Still at the top of the fourth phase, it was a real pain.

Even though Fang Yuan still had 11 Pokémon available, he knew well that only a few in his team could pose a threat to this Happiness Egg...

The difficulty of the fifth stage was indeed incomparable to the previous four.

The thought of the sixth and seventh stages having the same level of difficulty made Fang Yuan's teeth ache, not to mention his headache; could all ten stages really be passed by humans?

"Lucky~~~~" After the Happiness Egg appeared, it immediately showed a friendly smile towards Fang Yuan and his team.

Fang Yuan fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Monferno and Eevee... Who should he choose?

Monferno's attributes were highly effective against Happiness Egg, but given that the Egg was dubbed the strongest healer in Hua Nation, its endurance would likely be terrifying. If it happened to have measures to restrain Fighting Type Pokémon, maintaining the Lightning Flame state for a long time would put Monferno at a disadvantage, and its injuries in the end could be even worse than Gengar's.

After much thought, Fang Yuan decided to go with Eevee. With an overwhelming amount of physical strength and strong healing abilities, the Happiness Egg's offensive capability should be its weakness!

Although Eevee's basic strength was weak, it might still manage to hold its ground. Most importantly, Eevee had mastered various partner skills that absorbed the enemy's physical strength, making it more suitable to face such a fully loaded opponent than Monferno.

"Eevee." Fang Yuan commanded, and Eevee bounced onto the field where it split into two: the Substitute maintained the partner Eevee form while the actual body evolved into Sun Eevee form.

Eevee, Sun Eevee: Ｏ(｀_´)乂(｀_´)Ｏ

"Substitute, huh." Seeing Substitute and free evolution being combined like that, Master Qiao Jing showed an intrigued expression.

But it's useless.

...

"Finally, it's time for the most boring part; I want to go eat."

"I'll go with you."

"What's the use of going? Just have the cafeteria send something over."

As the Happiness Egg entered the scene, half of the people in The Round Table Conference Room of the Twelve Staffs wanted to leave, but President Wen called them back.

Fu Hei sat inside the room, hesitant and also a bit tempted to leave.

There was no other reason but the fact that the upcoming battle would be long and uninteresting.

Fang Yuan's use of Destiny Bond to exchange for Gengar was no surprise to the members of the Twelve Branches.

But the upcoming battle, they thought, would be boring.

Master Qiao Jing's Happiness Egg had very weak attacking power; whether physical moves or special moves, the strongest it could do was just at the ordinary top-level one-hit kill technique.

However, the defensive ability of this Happiness Egg, although not as strong as the aforementioned critter, was not too far behind.

Masterful moves like Light Wall and Reflect Wall allowed the Happiness Egg to easily handle attacks below the Guardian God Level. Combined with its healing moves and tremendous physical strength, it too was a monster.

Along with Master Qiao Jing's unique Highly Toxic Method, it could wear down opponents through attrition.

Of course, Fang Yuan's Eevee was not to be outdone. Through Sunny Day, it could rapidly recover physical strength and injuries with the Morning Light Move.

Life Energy-enhanced Magic Mirror characteristic, Heal Bell, and Refresh moves could ignore variable class moves like Toxic.

With Grass Partner Techniques like Booming Growth, Eevee could also drain the Happiness Egg's physical strength. Without any attacking or changing moves that could threaten Eevee, a scenario similar to the previous round once again unfolded.

About 15 minutes later...

Both sides were still exchanging moves amicably.
