088 The Decisive Battle! The Easiest Battle
"Toxicroak, use Poison Barb!"
Master Wu anticipated Qin Yun's aggressive opening and opted for a preemptive strike with Poison Barb.
"Toxicroak!"
Toxicroak's cheek sacs twitched as it spat out several sharp, poison-coated barbs that streaked toward Fomantis.
"Fomantis, use Wood Clones!"
At Qin Yun's command, the Wood Release (Mokuton) cells in Fomantis's body activated, instantly generating three identical clones. Each emitted the same energy signature as the original, making it difficult to distinguish.
"Double Team?"
"No, that's not Double Team. That technique creates illusions, not actual physical forms."
Master Wu narrowed his eyes. One clone surged forward, intercepting the Poison Barbs. A moment later, the clone turned black signs of poisoning.
"It hit?"
The attack connected almost too easily, making Master Wu suspicious. Qin Yun rarely made tactical errors.
As expected, the poisoned Fomantis vanished with a pop, dispersing into scattered leaves. The remaining two clones wasted no time closing the distance and launching their next attack.

[Pokémon Data: Fomantis (Shiny Variant)]
Type: Grass
Ability: Singing Opposition
Strength: Elite Primary
Potential: Elite Intermediate
Moveset: X-Scissor, Synthesis, Growth, Leafage, Solar Beam, Shave, Finger Gun
Special Abilities: Immortal Mode, Wood Release (Mokuton)
Held Item: Miracle Seed
Fomantis was Qin Yun's Pokémon with the highest potential, but its evolution into Lurantis remained incomplete, limiting its current combat strength.
Despite this, Fomantis's genetic adaptability and unique Wood Release (Mokuton) techniques gave it an edge against conventional Grass-type Pokémon.
---
"Fomantis, use Leafage!"
Both Fomantis clones released sharpened Leafage, enhanced by Miracle Seed, which increased their power by 1.5 times. The storm of leaves whirled toward Toxicroak, cutting through the air with precision.
"Why are both clones attacking?!"
Master Wu was baffled. Traditional clone techniques created only illusions, not physical entities capable of dealing damage.
"Is this… a true Clone Technique?"
The Pokémon League, various research institutions, and even underground organizations had spent millions of Pokédollars studying a cloning technique that could produce independent, attacking copies of Pokémon. All experiments had failed until now.
If Qin Yun's Fomantis had truly mastered Clone Technique, it was revolutionary. The ramifications stretched beyond battle strategies corporations, governments, and criminal syndicates would stop at nothing to exploit it.
Master Wu felt a chill.
'If the wrong people learn about this, Qin Yun will be in danger.'
But Qin Yun already knew the risks.
He smiled faintly, as if reading Master Wu's thoughts.
Yes, exposing such power was dangerous. The Pokémon world wasn't as peaceful as it seemed.
The Water Fleet.
The Team Magma.
The remnants of Team Rocket.
Darkness lurked beneath the surface.
Yet, should he suppress his Pokémon's strength just to stay hidden?
Never.
Pokémon battles were about fighting at full strength—with no regrets.
Besides, Qin Yun had a secret weapon—his Psychic powers.
With his Teleportation refined through Spiritual Fruits, he could now warp up to 50 meters. As long as he didn't face an Elite Trainer, he could always escape if things turned dangerous.
'No holding back.'
If he let fear dictate his battles, he would be disrespecting his Pokémon, himself, and the entire journey he had undertaken.

Toxicroak staggered as Leafage landed cleanly.
Super-effective hit!
"Fomantis, use Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!"
Roots and vines surged from the battlefield, twisting toward Toxicroak like living creatures seeking prey.
Two Fomantis used this technique at once, creating a chaotic flurry of entangling branches.
"Toxicroak, dodge!"
Master Wu had no choice but to evade.
"If only Infernape were here… those vines would be reduced to ash."
Toxicroak's Poison-type moves were single-target and ineffective against the durability of Mokuton-based Grass attacks. It relied on agility to maneuver around the incoming vines.
But in doing so…
He failed to notice something crucial.
A third Fomantis clone had appeared.
---
"This is frustrating."
Master Wu gritted his teeth. Toxicroak was dodging well, but he was being forced into a defensive battle.
His opponent was controlling the pace of the fight.
"Alright, Toxicroak! Use Sludge Bomb to destroy those vines!"
Toxicroak hurled a ball of corrosive sludge at the encroaching branches.
Sizzle—
…But the vines remained intact.
"What?! That should've melted them!"
Mokuton's regenerative properties were countering the acidic effects of Sludge Bomb.
"Why… why does this feel so difficult? It's just a Fomantis!"
Master Wu had faced countless Grass-type Pokémon. He had crushed Elite-level Roserades, Venusaurs, even Torterra.
Yet here, against this unevolved Fomantis, he was completely outplayed.
A nightmare matchup.
A Fomantis with Wood Release.
A Grass-type that regenerates.
A clone technique that allows simultaneous attacks.
A Pokémon that ignores normal Type weaknesses.
This wasn't a battle of strength—this was tactical domination.
---
"Fomantis is so OP against Toxicroak!"
"Yeah! It's not just Type advantage—its abilities are absurd!"
The crowd buzzed with excitement.
The Toxicroak fan club in the audience winced. Their idol was getting completely countered.
Among the spectators, Hua, the Pokémon journalist, grinned.
"If Fomantis wins… this battle will make headlines."
It was a perfect story.
---
Master Wu clenched his fists.
'I won't lose so easily.'
He scanned the battlefield, searching for a solution.
But Qin Yun's calm, confident expression unnerved him.
He already had a winning move.
"This battle…"
Qin Yun muttered to himself, eyes gleaming.
"…is already decided."
