After a short rest, the Wood Guardians and Benyu, who were not injured, had recovered their strength. Tian Lin walked towards the depths of the forest in the east while thinking about countermeasures. The strength of the Flying Mantis was definitely not weak. Moreover, since the warrior had failed many times in the challenge, Tian Lin guessed that the strength of this Flying Mantis should be at least Elite Rank. Using the Wood Guardians, which was currently only close to the Advanced Normal Rank, to fight against Benbenyu, who had not yet broken through the Novice Rank, the chances of winning were indeed not high. However, there must be a way to fight two against one.
Soon, Tian Lin saw the towering tree.
"Flying Mantis, are you there? My name is Tian Lin. I want to challenge you to subdue me. As a proud warrior, you shouldn't reject me, right?”Tian Lin walked to the tree and shouted.
After a while, the tree shook, and a handsome flying mantis flew down from the book. Two sharp sickles made it look even more majestic.
[Flying Mantis](Male, Insect plus Flight, Pokemon Mantis)(Stubborn (Increases physical attack and reduces special attack), Expert in Special Techniques (Increases the power of low-power skills), 1.7m tall, 55kg weight, Excellent Aptitude, Potential to be a Heavenly King, Current strength of Elite Intermediate. [Skills: Combo, Sword Dance, Wing Attack, Cleave, Vacuum Wave] The system suggests that if the host can subdue it, it can use a high-grade metal membrane to evolve it in the future. There is a possibility of increasing its potential.
This was really amazing. This was the strongest opponent Tian Lin had encountered so far, but he was not afraid. Instead, he was extremely excited." Go, Wood Guardians." It was another headwind battle with the opposite attribute. Wood Guardians had never had an advantage since they debuted, but this was a very good training for them.
The Flying Mantis shook its head in disdain. The Wood Guardians on the other side were much weaker than it, and its attributes were restrained by it. This made it completely unable to raise its fighting spirit.
" It seems like you're very confident, Flying Mantis. Do you dare to fight against two people alone? You should go too, Dumb Fish." Tian Lin did not hold back. With such a huge disadvantage, he would try his best to turn it around.
The Flying Mantis nodded. In fact, even with the stupid fish, it still did not take it seriously. Even if the two of them joined forces, they would not be its match. However, the warrior's manners made it impossible for it to avoid the battle.
" Wooden Guardians, use Lightning Flash. BenBenyu, use Dragon Breath," Tian Lin ordered. Wooden Guardians rushed towards the Flying Mantis at an extremely fast speed. BenBenyu's attack speed was a little slower, and Dragon Breath was also spat at the Flying Mantis from behind. The Flying Mantis raised its sickle and slashed its ultimate move at Wooden Guardians. Compared to Lightning Flash, Wooden Guardians were obviously at a disadvantage. Lightning Flash was not as powerful as cleaving. In just a short while, Wooden Guardians were sent flying. However, after that... BenYu's Dragon Breath attack hit the Flying Mantis directly. The Flying Mantis did not dodge at all and took the attack directly. However, BenBenYu's special attack was still too low. It could not cause much damage to the Elite Flying Mantis at all. The Flying Mantis didn't care about the stupid fish at all. It continued to rush towards the Wooden Guarding Palace. However, when Tian Lin saw this, he suddenly had an idea. He smiled lightly. He didn't even care about the stupid fish. He didn't even have the desire to attack it. Then, there was a way to win.
" Wooden Guardians, with your speed, use guerrilla tactics. Dumb Fish, continue to use Dragon Breath." The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance. Wooden Guardians relied on guerrilla tactics to fight a protracted battle with the Flying Mantis. However, its speed and attack were weaker than the Flying Mantis. It was still at a disadvantage. The Flying Mantis's combo or wing attack could cause a lot of damage to it, so it must not be hit by these two moves.
The Wooden Guardians had narrowly avoided the Flying Mantis 'wing attack, but they were split open and hit head-on. Then, the Wooden Guardians' bodies emitted a green light, and they hit the Flying Mantis with a Million Ton Absorption. However, Grass Skills were not very powerful against the Flying Mantis, and the Wooden Guardians could not absorb too much Stamina. Another Dragon Breath hit. This was already the third Dragon Breath that had hit the Flying Mantis. The damage was still very small, but this time, after taking this move, the Flying Mantis's movements suddenly became much slower, and the connection between attacks was not as fast as before.
Here it comes, damn it. This was exactly what Tian Lin had been waiting for. If they were to fight head-on, the huge difference in strength was there, and there was no hope. However, Tian Lin's goal this time was not to defeat the Flying Mantis, but to subdue it. Therefore, other than reducing its stamina as much as possible, the other method was to enter an abnormal state. Although the stupid fish's dragon breath did not deal much damage to it, it had a 30% chance of paralyzing it. This was the breakthrough point of this battle.
The paralyzed Flying Mantis was only able to move at half its original speed and could no longer keep up with the wooden guard. The next few attacks were all dodged by the wooden guard. Taking advantage of the paralysis, the wooden guard used his remaining stamina to use a flash of lightning to knock the Flying Mantis away.
" A good opportunity." Tian Lin seized the opportunity and threw the super ball given by the system at the Flying Mantis. The paralyzed and heavily injured Flying Mantis was sucked into the ball. It shook three times before it stopped.
"Success!""Cha Mo!" This battle had really exhausted Tian Lin and Mu Guogong, but fortunately, they had successfully subdued the Flying Mantis.
Tian Lin picked up Dumb Fish and smiled." You're amazing, Dumb Fish. It's all thanks to you that we won this time!" You're the best." The stupid fish also smiled happily. It was the happiest thing to be able to help its master.
Tian Lin picked up the super ball and opened it. The flying mantis was released. Tian Lin used the anesthetic to relieve the paralysis of the flying mantis, but the flying mantis still sat there lonely.
"What's wrong, Flying Mantis? Are you unwilling to acknowledge me?”The Flying Mantis shook its head. It had been defeated and tamed openly. It recognized Tian Lin's commanding ability and was willing to acknowledge him as its master. Now, it was just unwilling to accept it. It was clearly so much stronger than the other party, but it was still defeated.
Tian Lin could tell that the Flying Mantis was unwilling to give up." Are you not willing to give up? As expected of a natural warrior. Flying Mantis, from the battle just now, your cultivation as a warrior is indeed outstanding. The combination of your moves is very smooth, and you have a wealth of combat experience. However, your shortcomings are also very obvious. It is a big taboo for a warrior to underestimate the enemy. If you had used all your strength to defeat that stupid fish that you looked down on from the beginning, we would not have had the chance to win.”Tian Lin analyzed to the Flying Mantis.
The Flying Mantis lowered its head and pondered quietly for a while. Clearly, Tian Lin was right.
"The outside world is very big, and there are countless powerful opponents. Please become my partner and fight side by side with me, Flying Mantis!”Tian Lin struck while the iron was hot.
"Cha!" The Flying Mantis raised its scythe and shouted at the sky. Then, it nodded at Tian Lin with a firm gaze. At this moment, the knot in its heart had been resolved. The Flying Mantis had finally officially joined the team and became Tian Lin's third partner.
This time, the harvest of the Evergreen Forest was very big. After taming the Flying Mantis, Benben Fish became much more confident because of Tian Lin's praise and many victories in battles. This was the key to her becoming beautiful. The Wood Guardians 'strength had increased greatly. The continuous battles had not only allowed it to learn new moves, but its strength had also reached the peak of the Normal level. Now, it only needed an opportunity to break through. Moreover, Tian Lin could vaguely feel that its experience was close to full. It seemed that it was not far from evolving.
With a satisfied mood, Tian Lin left Evergreen Forest and headed towards Dark Gray City. However, Tian Lin seemed to have neglected the fourth harvest. Just as he left the forest, the Pokémon Egg in his backpack emitted a faint glow.
