-----------------
Even when Espeon's "Psychic" was almost upon Masked Meowth, Ryuzawa still couldn't figure out what made Masked Meowth so special.
It's not that Magic Masked Meow is too weak to withstand an Espeon attack with "Meditation" + "Psychic Terrain".
Rather, it's because, in a normal Pokémon battle, Dark-type Masked Meowth doesn't even need to dodge; it can almost completely ignore Espeon's psychic attacks.
Xiaozhu, a member of the Goldenrod Gym, was also puzzled by this.
She even began to doubt whether Espeon's basic attribute knowledge was up to par.
Otherwise, why would they let Espeon and Meowth battle each other?
What exactly does he want to do?
Naz remained with her arms crossed, not saying a word, but her expression clearly showed that she understood the reason perfectly well.
However, neither Longze nor Xiaozhu had the courage to ask Nazi directly.
However, Magical Masked Cat quickly provided an answer for them through its actions.
Faced with the overwhelming "psychic power" that surged like an invisible tsunami, the Magical Masked Cat slightly twitched the corners of its mouth, then pressed its hands onto the arena:
"Meow!"
A towering pillar of grass rose from the ground, blocking the path of "Mental Strength".
The "Mental Strength" attack instantly tore the grass pillar, which was twice as wide as the Magic Masked Cat's body, to pieces.
But when it finally managed to destroy the grass pillar with a crash, Espeon was no longer able to maintain its "Psychic" attack.
"The Oath of Grass".
Xiao Zhu softly uttered the name of the move involving the grass pillar, then thoughtfully said:
"Does the prerequisite for a battle between Meowth and Espeon be that you have to use moves to withstand every single attack from Espeon?"
"If we add such a restriction to it, although Espeon's psychic powers won't harm it, it would still be a form of battle."
No, not only that.
Just as Xiaozhu was pondering to herself, Longze's pupils shrank, and he spoke:
"Look at the Magic Mask Meow."
Xiaozhu looked at the Magic Masked Cat with a puzzled expression:
"What's wrong with Magic Masked Cat? It doesn't seem like..."
Soon, Xiaozhu realized what was going on.
The Magic Masked Cat, who had remained unmoved on the arena filled with superpowers, still looked relaxed at this moment.
However, it can be clearly seen that the cloak-like leaves on both sides of its neck are swaying slightly with the superpowers on the field.
As a practitioner of superpowers, Xiaozhu clearly sensed that the evil attribute energy that was originally on the Magic Masked Cat had suddenly disappeared.
This greatly surprised Xiaozhu:
"Why did the evil attribute energy on the Magic Masked Cat disappear?"
Long Ze clapped his hands:
"I understand! The top-tier Magic Masked Cat has a hidden ability—Transformation!"
Upon hearing Long Ze's words, Xiao Zhu, who had been frowning, suddenly realized what was going on.
Yes!
Most of the Magic Masked Cats have the ability "Overgrowth", but a small number of Magic Masked Cats have the ability "Changeable".
This trait has so far only been observed in the Faerie Mask family, the Greninja family, and Kecleon.
Its ability is to transform the user's own attributes into the attributes used in the moves.
In other words, when the Grass/Dark type Magic Masked Cat uses "Grass Pledge",
Magic Masked Cat's attribute has become a single Grass attribute.
Espeon's psychic moves can work on Masked Cat!
Seeing that the two had already realized what was happening, Lu An spoke calmly with a smile:
"My little thief cat is quite special compared to other magical masked cats. Due to its unique characteristics, it is more adept at controlling attribute energy."
"It can transform its own attributes into any attribute it wants to be, as long as it wants to."
Lu An didn't say one more thing: his Umbreon, as a Pokémon created through Team Rocket's genetic experiments, has an extremely strong ability to sense attributes.
However, when it was first rescued, it had not yet mastered the skill and even suffered a lot of punishment because of it.
Fortunately, Magic Masked Cat had already joined Lu An's team at that time.
With its "Alter" ability, it instantly saw through Umbreon's struggle with its own talent.
Despite being dissuaded by Ayrton and others, Espeon still adopted two Eevee dogs. Then, Meowth took on the important task of guiding Umbreon to master its own "talent".
Only the Magic Masked Cat, with its "changeable" ability, could do something like this.
That's why the usually aloof Umbreon always treated Masked Meow with utmost respect.
It's no exaggeration to say that Magic Mask Cat is its mentor.
Let's get back to the present.
The Magic Masked Meow, now a single Grass-type Pokémon, is engaged in a fierce battle with Espeon.
"Meow~"
Magic Masked Meow tossed a few seeds onto Espeon's head.
These seeds swelled in the wind, quickly growing into large, hard-shelled seeds that crashed down on the sun like giant rocks.
"Buyi!"
As the seeds fell from the sky, the ruby on Espeon's forehead shone brightly once more.
"Wide-area combat power".
With the support of the "Mental Field," the "Wide-Area Combat Power" easily shattered the seeds containing terrifying energy into the air like fireworks.
"cloth."
But when Espeon finished dealing with the Seed Bomb and turned around, its pupils contracted slightly as it discovered that the Magic Masked Meow, who had been at the edge of the ring, had disappeared without a trace.
The "seed bomb" was just a feint to deceive people!
Realizing what was happening, Espeon, disregarding its image, immediately roared loudly – "Velocity!"
"cloth!!"
However, SunIbrahimovic was a beat too slow to react.
Its mouth had barely opened when a green and white paw pad quietly appeared on Espeon's neck.
The Magic Masked Cat reached out and touched Espeon, its warm breath brushing against Espeon's ear:
"Meow~"
Can't you be a little gentler, you brat?
☆⌒(≧▽?° )
Sun Eevee shuddered.
"cloth!"
°.°·(((p(≧□≦)q)))·°.°
This is what it dislikes most about this stray cat!
That damn cat always manages to tease it at the most inopportune times!
And they're always eyeing trainers!
I will absolutely not let it go!
"Mental shock!"
"Mental shock!"
