Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 402 Another Fateful Encounter: The Black Night Demon Cat Boss Dies Together with His Mate!

"Hiss!"

As the Night Demon's scream rang out, Cat Boss's malicious pursuit successfully struck the Night Demon.

"Nightmare, use Shadow Ball!"

Upon hearing the Night Demon's screams, Xia Qiu immediately gave it a loud command.

The Night Demon has now recovered a significant portion of its strength, and with its powerful dual defenses, there's no need to worry about it being instantly killed in the short term.

As for Xia Qiu's initial goal of restoring more than half of the Night Demon's stamina.

Judging from Qingyuan's demeanor, he probably won't let me have my way, so rather than letting the Night Demon Spirit be passively attacked again, it's better to take the initiative and strike.

Furthermore, the Night Demon now has an additional boost from its charging beam.

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, the Night Demon immediately stopped absorbing energy and quickly used its ghost-type energy to condense a large black ball, which it then launched at Cat Boss.

Even after launching the Shadow Ball, Night Demon tried to avoid being attacked by the Cat Boss.

It vanished from the spot in an instant.

"boom!"

"Meow!"

This is because the Night Demon replaced its speed with a magical space.

Cat Boss was unable to dodge the Shadow Ball that the Night Demon was rapidly attacking.

Instead, he was directly blasted away by the Shadow Ball.

"The cat boss used fraud!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan loudly commanded the cat boss.

"Meow!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the cat boss let out a loud meow.

A flash of black light passed through his eyes.

"Hiss!"

The next second, the Night Demon couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

[Fraud: Attacking by exploiting the opponent's strength. The higher the opponent's attack power, the greater the damage.]

Although the Night Demon is a shield-type character with exceptionally high defense in both physical and magical defense.

However, it is also an attacker with an attack stat exceeding 100.

The more powerful the opponent's attack, the greater the damage the Deception skill can cause.

With its Attack stat, Night Demon can easily land a high-attack blow against Persian's deception.

This can be seen as another way of saying that the stronger I am, the more damage I suffer.

Cat Boss's trick directly returned Night Demon's state to the state it was in at the beginning when Night Demon used Trick Space and was bitten and hit by Cat Boss.

The already weakened Night Demon will lose its ability to fight if it is hit by Cat Boss's skill even once more.

Xia Qiu's expression immediately turned ugly when he saw that his efforts to make the Night Demon use Absorb had been in vain.

Now the situation has returned to what it was at the beginning, and he is at a disadvantage once again.

"The cat boss used malicious pursuit!"

Seeing Xia Qiu's grim face, Qing Yuan smiled slightly and shouted loudly at Cat Boss.

"Damn it, Night Demon used Destiny Bond!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiu cursed and loudly commanded the Night Demon.

Having already been deceived and harmed, the Night Demon was a sitting duck for the Cat Boss's malicious pursuit.

At this moment, the Night Demon's condition was extremely low, and it was clear that it could no longer withstand this malicious pursuit.

So, left with no other option, Xia Qiu resorted to his tried-and-true tactic once again: mutual destruction.

"Meow!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the cat boss let out a loud cry and immediately swung a claw blade towards the direction of the Night Demon.

"Hiss!"

At the same time, the Night Demon, having heard Xia Qiu's command, also let out a shout and shot a black beam of light at the Cat Boss.

"boom!"

The black claws and black light struck the Night Demon and the Cat Boss simultaneously.

Cat Boss and Night Demon Spirit collapsed to the ground simultaneously, their eyes turning into circles, and they lost their ability to fight.

"The leader of the Night Demon Cat has simultaneously lost its ability to fight!"

"Both sides, please send out your next Pokémon as soon as possible!"

The referee, who was standing nearby, saw the situation on the battlefield and waved his command flag, shouting loudly.

"Phew~ Come back, Night Demon, you've done a great job!"

Looking at the Night Demon Spirit, who had lost its ability to fight, Xia Qiu took a deep breath.

I took out a Poké Ball and recalled it.

In this battle, Night Demon performed exceptionally well, trading his remaining health for the fully-healthy Cat Boss.

The main reason is that Xia Qiu had too much hope for the Night Demon.

He was thinking that Night Demon could take down Nekomamushi, a Normal-type Pokémon.

Then, they used the same fate to exchange for one of Qingyuan's spirits.

This leaves Qingyuan with only two Pokémon that are not at full strength: Scizor and Slowking, plus one Pokémon that is at full strength but has not yet been released.

However, unexpectedly, the Night Demon's high attack power became the Cat Boss's breakthrough point.

The feeling that all the plans had come to nothing made Xia Qiu sigh involuntarily.

"Come back, Cat Boss, you've done very well. This time it was my fault!"

Seeing that the Meowth had lost its ability to battle, Qingyuan took out its Poké Ball and recalled it, then said to the Meowth.

The main responsibility for the cat boss's defeat this time lies entirely with him.

It was his oversight that insisted on having the cat boss, a Normal-type Pokémon, battle a Ghost-type Pokémon.

Considering that most of his skills are ineffective against the Night Demon, Cat Boss has done a pretty good job of doing this.

"Fight well, now it's up to you, Mismagius!"

Looking at the grass in front of him, Xia Qiu threw the Misdreavus's Poké Ball high into the air and shouted loudly.

"Baaah!"

With a flash of red light from the Poké Ball, Mismagius appeared on the battlefield.

"A dream demon?"

"Then I've chosen you, Slowking!"

Looking at the dream monster in the arena that resembled a magician, Qingyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

In the end, they decided to throw Slowking's Poké Ball.

"Ya-dong!"

As the red light of Slowking's Poké Ball flashed, Slowking's figure with his hands behind his back appeared on the battlefield.

This is the third time that Dada has appeared in the semi-finals.

However, there's no other way; Slowking with its Trick Room ability is just too useful for dealing with these Ghost-type Pokémon.

"The nightmare demon used a trick!"

Looking at the Slowking King in front of him, Xia Qiu remained expressionless and loudly commanded the Dream Demon.

He was no longer that concerned about winning or losing the match.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is certain to lose this match.

However, before losing the match, he wanted to see just how big the gap was between himself and Qingyuan.

"Baaah!"

Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, the Dream Demon cried out and then quickly absorbed Dark-type energy into its body.

In the blink of an eye, the Dream Demon's aura rose to a whole new level!
