The Ivy Snake's injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Flying mantis, cut it off"

The Flying Mantis' eyes narrowed, and his whole body began to exert strength. With a wave of the sickle, the vine broke into several pieces.

When Brighton saw the Flying Mantis trying to break the vine, he immediately ordered the Ivy Snake:

"Ivy snake, vine whip wrapped around it."

Two vine whips quickly rose from behind. The Flying Mantis, who had just broken free from the vines, speeded up and tried to dodge, but his right arm was still locked by the vine whip of the Ivy Snake, causing Ivy to pull him to the ground.

The flying mantis and the ivy snake began to wrestle.

Seeing this, Yingshi's lips curved slightly.

"In that case, the flying mantis pulled the Ivy Snake over."

"Ivy snake, use force, don't be pulled over"

The Flying Mantis began to exert force suddenly, and the Ivy Snake's expression changed drastically, and it was directly pulled up by the Flying Mantis.

The official weight of the Flying Mantis is 56 kilograms, while the official weight of the Ivy Snake is only 16 kilograms.

The difference is a full 40 kilograms. How could the Ivy Snake be better than the Flying Praying Mantis?

"Ivy Snake, Leaf Blade"

Green leaf blades appeared on the hands of the Ivy Snake that was pulled over.

"Flying Mantis, Vacuum Wave"

The flying mantis, which had been prepared for a long time, swung its double scythes, white light bloomed, and rushed towards the Ivy Snake.

The two Pokémon collided violently with a "collision" sound.

Energy splashed around, producing a large amount of smoke, which dissipated with the breeze.

A figure was punched out, and the two of them looked at it intently.

It was the Ivy Snake. In this head-to-head encounter, the Ivy Snake was at a disadvantage.

Yingshi showed a confident smile, knowing this would happen.

This ivy snake is the same as Mr. Arnold's messenger bird. It knows many skills, but its mastery of them is not high.

The advantage of having many skills is that the methods are diverse, but the disadvantage is that the power is not high.

Although Flying Mantis has few skills, its mastery level is high. The power of each attack skill is very impressive.

"Flying Mantis takes advantage of now, vacuum wave"

The Ivy Snake struggled to stand up, but the vacuum wave of the Flying Mantis arrived quickly.

"Ivy Snake, use energy ball"

The Ivy Snake climbed up and opened its mouth slightly, mobilizing all the energy in its body to form a green ball in its mouth.

Aim at the flying mantis and spray it out, the vacuum wave hits the energy ball, and the two cancel each other out.

Then the Flying Mantis used vacuum waves to rush towards the Ivy Snake.

Brighton didn't panic at all and ordered to the Ivy Snake.

"Ivy Snake uses a substitute"

The stand-in skill is to consume part of your physical strength to form a clone to help you resist attacks.

The flying mantis' vacuum wave hit the Ivy Snake, but the Ivy Snake didn't react at all.

The expression on his face did not change. After being hit by the Flying Praying Mantis, the Ivy Snake completely disappeared.

It's a stand-in, the real Ivy Snake has long since disappeared.

The flying mantis looked left and right, constantly looking for the figure of the Ivy Snake.

The moment the flying mantis turned its head, an afterimage appeared behind it.

"Flying Mantis, behind"

The Ivy Snake's leaf blade is already ready, but the Flying Mantis is faster, so it doesn't matter even if it's a little slower.

"Leaf Blade"

"vacuum wave"

The two of them ordered at the same time,

The Ivy Snake's leaf blade hit the Flying Mantis, and the Flying Mantis' vacuum wave also hit the Ivy Snake.

Both Pokémon were injured and retreated at the same time, each retreating a certain distance.

The Flying Mantis and the Ivy Snake stared at each other, trying to see who would fall first.

The air suddenly solidified, and only the sound of the breeze could be heard.

Yingshi and Brighton both held their breath and stared at the Pokémon on the field.

The next second, Ivy Snake was the first to be unable to hold on any longer and fell to the ground with a wailing cry.

The flying mantis breathed a sigh of relief, then patted the sickle vigorously and roared to the sky to vent his feelings.

Yingshi also showed a victorious smile: "Well done, Flying Mantis."

"Come back, Ivy Snake"

Brighton took back the Green Snake with some frustration, and said to the Pokmon Ball: Thank you for your hard work, Ivy Snake."

After taking a deep breath and adjusting his mood, he walked up to Yingshi and said with a smile: "I lost, your flying mantis is really powerful."

Yingshi also replied: "Your Ivy Snake is also good. At the same level, it is the first time that Flying Mantis has been so difficult to fight."

…

The two of them moved to a flat place and started chatting.

Brighton: "How long have we just been fighting? I don't even know your name yet."

Eishi said: "Yes, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yoshino Eishi. I am from Joban City. You can just call me Eishi."

Brayton nodded to show he understood.

Then Yingshi asked again: "Looking at you, you don't seem to be from the Kanto region."

Brighton replied with a smile: "I am from the Hezhong area, do you know Hezhong?"

Eishi: "I know there is this area, but the Hezhong area is quite far from the Kanto area."

Brighton: "My family has business dealings with Kanto."

"Only in recent years have we opened up the Kanto region and the Hezhong region."

"I was bored at home, so I came over to Kanto with my family to play."

Yingshi: "What about your family?"

Brighton: "They are discussing business in Dead Leaf City, so I will come out and take a trip nearby."

"But to be honest, your Flying Mantis is indeed very powerful."

"That kid, he usually trains very hard to achieve the strength he has today."

"That's right. Without daily hard training, you wouldn't be as strong as you are today."

At this time, he asked again: "I think your Ivy Snake has quite a few skills."

Brighton smiled and said: "Speaking of the Ivy Snake, I think I should reflect on it."

"I only got the Ivy Snake more than a month ago, and it wasn't even an Ivy Snake at that time."

"When I first got the Vine Snake, I just wanted to let it learn more skills. I thought the more skills it had, the stronger its combat effectiveness would be."

"I realized from today's battle with you that I was wrong. From today on, I will practice its skills well when I go back.

"Thank you, Yingshi"

Yingshi said nonchalantly: "It's okay."

Brighton looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back."

At this point, Brighton suddenly said seriously: "Yingshi, are we friends now?"

Brighton was suddenly so serious, and Yingshi was stunned for a moment.

Looking at his serious and smart eyes and expression, he smiled and said, "From now on, we are friends."

Brighton showed a strange smile.

Joban City

In the Beauty Cultivation House, Amelia, who was sitting in the office reading documents, suddenly heard a communication ringtone.

I took out the communicator and picked it up. After it was connected, a male voice came from inside: "Hello"

Amelia: "Hello"

Male voice: "Sister, it's me"

Amelia: "Archie? Where are you now? I've been waiting for you for several days, do you know?"

Archie was a little embarrassed and said: "Hey, I'm at the Pokémon Center in Viridian City now."

"Okay, just wait a moment and I'll be here right away."
