Zizizi!

A piercing electric shock tore through the air as Regirock's two thick, battering ram-like rock arms suddenly rose, and terrifying blue-purple electricity surged wildly between his palms, even causing the surrounding rubble to levitate from the high-voltage electric field.

It only took a second to gather its strength.

boom!

A dazzling beam of light, as thick as a bucket, roared out, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, and hurtled straight down!

"It's an electromagnetic railgun."

Lu Sha's extremely calm and collected message resonated in Cattleya's mind almost simultaneously with Regirock's gathering of power:

"Its proficiency with non-Style Special Attack moves isn't high either. While Teleport is safer, using it repeatedly will exponentially increase your mental strain. Against a tank like Regirock, it's best to conserve your chakra. Block!"

Gadriya did not hesitate for even a second in judging Lu Sha.

Since he says he can stop it, then he can stop it even if the sky falls!

The young lady raised her right hand expressionlessly, her fingers loosely clenched, her eyes cold.

hum!

The ground a hundred meters in front of him suddenly rose up, and countless layers of rock walls rose from the ground under the pull of his mental power, instantly stacking into an incomparably thick wall of sighs.

Boom!!!

The raging electromagnetic cannon slammed into the rock wall, easily piercing through the first ten meters, sending debris and arcs of electricity flying everywhere.

But later on, those layers of defense, like a quagmire, eroded its kinetic energy.

In the end, this seemingly world-destroying beam of light was abruptly extinguished in mid-air, leaving only a pile of charred rubble.

"Reggie!"

Seeing that the ranged energy attack was ineffective, Regirock roared again, the sound so loud it hurt people's eardrums.

The next second, the clear sky above Cattleya's head suddenly darkened.

Countless massive rocks, each large enough to crush a tank, materialized out of thin air and fell like a meteor shower, accompanied by a whistling wind.

"It's a rockfall! We have to get out of the way this time!"

The warning from Lu Sha was transmitted almost simultaneously. Before the first rock could fall, Cattleya's figure had already blurred again.

Bang bang bang!

The boulder crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust, and the entire valley seemed to groan and tremble.

The reappearing Cattleya was already a hundred meters away. Lu Sha peeked out from her arms and continued to observe the rock giant in the distance.

Although the situation is dangerous, it is still under control.

Perhaps due to the corrosive effects of the poison, or perhaps because his nerve reflexes haven't caught up after being asleep for so long, Regirock's attacks, while terrifyingly powerful, have an excessively long wind-up.

With his current dynamic vision and reaction time, he is able to command Cattleya in battle.

Will your attacks work on the tower?

The man and the shark danced on the edge of a knife, easily dodging Regirock's furious pursuit, and even had time to review their actions.

Cattleya pursed her lips, her blue eyes flickering uncertainly:

"It did almost no damage. I tried using my mental powers three times during the lull in the rockfall, and it didn't react at all; it didn't even lose a single inch of skin."

This is the helplessness of facing challenges beyond one's level.

The non-physical energy impact of psychic power is a devastating blow against opponents of the same level, but against a Champion-level Geo Regiment with maxed-out physical and special defense, it's like tickling it.

"Then let's try telekinesis!"

"good!"

"Reggie!"

Feeling his body being restrained, Regirock roared again.

As it broke free, a powerful surge of rock-based energy swept across the entire area.

Cynthia, watching from afar, suddenly narrowed her eyes in horror to discover that countless sharp, invisible rocks began to float intermittently on the ground and in the low-altitude area within a hundred meters of Cattleya.

"Cattleya! Watch out! It's an Invisible Rock!!"

Cynthia screamed out desperately.

Now, there's nothing she can do but offer reminders in this way.

The helplessness of watching her companion face the legendary wrath alone made her clench her fists tightly, her eyes filled with resentment.

"No, controlling its physical form with telekinesis would allow it to break free instantly. It could simply whip up the surrounding ordinary rocks to retaliate, but those rocks wouldn't be hard enough; they would shatter upon impact."

Gadriya completely ignored Cynthia's shouts and paid no attention to the invisible rocks.

She simply teleported away again to create distance.

So what if it's an invisible rock?

Even if Regirock could deploy Invisible Rocks in the sky, it would be fine to just change the battlefield.

It's not a battle between trainers, so we need to talk about the battle range.

This is the wilderness, and the battlefield is vast.

"Reggie!"

Regirock realized this too, and without pausing, it continued charging toward Cattleya with its heavy, rocky legs, like a runaway heavy tank.

Even if it was just a tickling attack from this human's telekinetic power, it was still an unforgivable provocation to it, as a god.

How did I do on the mental strength test?

"Then we'll just have to use it up. Let's stall for now."

Lu Sha looked at the tall man relentlessly chasing after her and sighed inwardly.

The toxins are not just for show.

As long as they can keep kiting like this, preventing Regirock from having time to detoxify, the scales of victory will eventually tip in their favor.

But this also carries huge risks.

No one could tell whether Regirock would be poisoned first, or whether they would succumb to the poison first.

After all, Regirock is alive.

Once Regirock realizes the effects of the poison and recovers from his rage, he will likely choose to avoid combat.

With their current attack methods, there is no way to stop them.

"... Is this the only way?"

Cattleya's voice echoed in his mind, carrying a hint of barely perceptible resentment.

This was the first time Lu Sha had so clearly sensed the young lady's emotional fluctuations.

She didn't want to lose.

Especially in front of Cynthia, she didn't want to show her vulnerable side.

In telepathy, telepathy is bidirectional.

Cattleya could sense his worry, and he could also feel Cattleya's resentment.

Lu Sha raised her head slightly and looked at Cattleya's slightly tense profile, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Although he wanted to help, reality was harsh; they simply couldn't defeat a legendary player of the highest caliber.

All the moves can only scratch the opponent's skin.

but...

Is there really no other way?

Lu Sha glanced at the system inventory that only she could see.

Over the past week, thanks to the young lady's tireless efforts in leveling up her skills day and night, she has accumulated a considerable fortune.

With the efforts of the rhinoceros and the mini dragon, there are a total of 2 beginner level rewards, 6 proficient level rewards, 1 master level reward, and 1 instinct level reward.

加上精通级5选2， 本能级5选3， 总计13个奖励。

其中， 招式提升器总计8个， 初级2个、中级4个、高级1个、特级1个。

Two sets of candies: 3 physical attack candies (already consumed) and 5 special ability candies (already consumed).

Three move learners: Chatterbox (unlimited), Drill Rush (random ground), and Aerial Slash (random dragon).

Everything is good.

Especially the Aerial Slash, which is Palkia's exclusive divine move and an absolute Dragon-type killer.

Unfortunately, it's not the unlimited version.

Lu Sha couldn't learn it, and neither could Gadalia; they could only watch with envy.

It's similar to a straight-through drill; you can't learn it, and it won't affect the outcome of the battle.

At present, the only thing that can be used is that seemingly useless chatter.

Lu Sha's gaze lingered on the chatterbird's signature move.

Chatter, a Flying-type Special Attack move, has moderate power, and its damage is halved against Rock-type Regirock.

At first glance, it seems to have no effect.

However, this move has a very special additional effect: confusion.

In the game, constant talking can completely confuse your opponent.

Although in reality, the difference in strength and the reduction of resistance may occur, it is precisely because it is reality that we must take the other party's situation into consideration.

If you're skilled enough, and given Regirock's own unstable mental state of poisoning and rage...

We might as well take a gamble!

Lu Sha glanced at the system and saw the upgrades he had originally planned to save for digging holes or quicksand hell.

Reason told him that this investment would be a huge loss.

Spending so many resources on a flying-type move is pure waste.

but!

Sensing Cattleya's suppressed resentment, Lu Sha grinned.

We're going to be the shark of the Alzheimer's sharks! Consider this a strategic move.

Besides, these skill upgrade items were painstakingly obtained by the young lady herself, so this is just to add to her enjoyment.

System! Add points!
