Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Of course, Sakaki also spoke highly of Baiyu's strength. He had to admit that at this age, he was indeed very talented to be able to cultivate a Pokémon of such a level.

Thinking of his son Gin, Sakaki nodded with satisfaction. Although Gin did not receive the protection of the Tokiwa Forest, he grew up successfully.

His style of doing things is very similar to when he was a teenager, he likes to attack continuously without considering the feelings of Pokémon, this situation made him understand after he became a gym leader for a while.

The more people I met and the more battles I experienced, the more I realized how important Pokémon are to trainers.

This time, Sakaki agreed to compete with Baiyu, on the one hand, because he wanted to see the level of the Masters champion, and on the other hand, it was also to make up for the fact that Sakaki had been busy with the Rockets' affairs for some time and was in a very bad mood but had nowhere to vent.

"Baiyu, which Pokémon should you send out to fight next?"

Sakaki stared at Baiyu and asked calmly.

He was very curious about which Pokémon Baiyu would choose to fight next.

Should they use the tried and tested Nail Team, or should they bring out more powerful Pokémon to deal with it?

The Blazing Roaring Tiger did defeat Sakaki's Nidoking, but its combat power was only one tenth of what it had left, so it was not realistic for it to stay on the field. Even if it stayed, it would not be able to hold on for too long.

Sakaki has more or less known about Baiyu's lineup, for example, Aggron, Ursa Major, Banjira, Swampert, etc., which are all Pokémon that Baiyu is good at using and are practical.

"I should ask Master Sakaki about this," Bai Yu asked back.

Sakaki hasn't released his second Pokémon yet, so how could Baiyu tell the other party about his second Pokémon? If Sakaki chooses to use those insidious Pokémon to fight back, he will be blown up.

"..." Sakaki fell silent, then took out the second Poké Ball and threw it forward.

He is indeed not good at dealing with young people nowadays and is not frank at all.

"Roar!!"

A Pokémon that is somewhat similar to the previous Nidoking. Its skin has changed from its original dark purple to the light blue skin we see now. Its aura is no weaker than that of the previous Nidoking.

It was actually the Ground + Poison type Nidoqueen.

As a Ground-type gym leader, Sakaki has a deep understanding of Ground-type Pokémon. In addition, the Kanto region is not short of Ground-type Pokémon, and these are also the Pokémon he has cultivated since childhood.

Especially Nidoking and Nidoqueen. During the Nidoran and Nidoran periods, there were so many of them in Viridian Forest that they were impossible to count. They were also among the first Pokémon captured by Sakaki.

'Nidoqueen, poison + ground type, appears in Kanto, Johto and other areas.'

Traits: Poison Sting
Moves: Super Horn Attack, Glare, Poison Needle, Peck, Gather, Random Attack, Poison Spike, Double Kick, Horn Bump, Help, Poison, Flattery, Power of the Earth, Earthquake, Mud Wave, Poison Attack, Tile Break, 100,000 Volts, Surf, Flame Jet...

Introduction: It is good at using its body covered with hard scales to knock its opponent into the air. It is most powerful when protecting its cubs.

Nidoqueen's move set is the same as that of the previous Nidoking. Both are Pokémon that can learn many moves and have a wide range of attacks.

"Come back, Blazing Roaring Tiger." Bai Yu didn't think much about it and decisively took back the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Unlike other Pokémon, Blazing Roaring Tiger can still play a role. With the Intimidate attribute, even if Blazing Roaring Tiger has only one breath left, it can reduce the opponent's physical attack by one level.

In fact, a better option is to switch pets by uttering harsh words.

But the Blazing Roaring Tiger had just finished a battle and its physical condition had deteriorated severely. It could not continue fighting in this state.

You need to go into the Poké Ball and take care of yourself.

"So! You still chose to change your pet."

Sakaki's face sank. This guy did it on purpose. He just wanted to see which Pokémon he was going to get.

Then use the corresponding attributes to deal with it.

"if not."

Bai Yu spread his hands and said innocently, "The Blazing Roaring Tiger is in such a bad state, Master Sakaki, you also know that..."

"Hmph! Sweet words!"

Sakaki said calmly, staring at Baiyu.

Which Pokémon will he replace next?

Swampert, a water + ground type, or Nut-Bell, a steel + grass type? !

No matter which Pokémon it is, Sakaki has full confidence in Nidoqueen.

Nidoqueen is stronger than Nidoking, and the combat power she displays is beyond the reach of Nidoking.

"It's your turn next."

"Darkrai!"

Bai Yu didn't think much and directly threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

A ray of light flashed by, and a black shadow gradually solidified. Darkrai stood on his feet, opened his eyes, and stared at the Nidoqueen in front of him.

"Dak!"

Darkrai shouted calmly, and the legendary nightmare god Darkrai appeared! !

"Darkrai? Darkrai is known as the God of Nightmares in the Sinnoh region!"

Apollo took a deep breath. This Pokémon only existed in the Sinnoh legend, and its status was much more powerful than the three sacred birds and three sacred beasts of the Kanto region.

Together with Mew and Celebi, they are collectively called Mystical Pokémon. They are extremely rare and not easy to be discovered by ordinary people. However, such Pokémon appeared in Bai Yu's hands.

Although Apollo already knew that Baiyu had Darkrai, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. This Pokémon only existed in reports.

"The Nightmare God Darkrai?"

Sakaki looked at Darkrai twice more. If he could get Darkrai's genes, his Mewtwo plan would have become more perfect. What a pity...

The only trainer who owns a Darkrai is Baiyu in front of him. Team Galactic seems to have also captured a Darkrai, but the combat power displayed by that Darkrai is far inferior to the one in front of him.

There are also three sacred birds on the Seven Islands, but they are more powerful than the ordinary three sacred birds. This is partly because the beliefs of the residents of the Seven Islands have affected the three sacred birds.

Moreover, those three birds have their own unique names: Articuno, the God of Ice, Moltres, the God of Fire, and Zapdos, the God of Thunder. Sakaki already knew about the power of faith a long, long time ago.

The Darkrai in front of him had the power of faith, and it had been condensed for a very long time, as if it was accumulating it to deal with some crisis.

"Master Sakaki, the guardian of Poplar Town in the Sinnoh region, I think you should have secretly investigated everything that happened to me this year."

Bai Yu smiled and said that the only difference between Team Rocket and other organizations is that their intelligence network is very powerful. Whether it is Team Galactic in the Sinnoh region or Team Plasma in the Unova region, the shadow of Team Rocket can be seen more or less, not to mention Team Magma and Team Aqua in the Hoenn region.

In the Hoenn region, there is a base of Team Rocket. Both Scarlet Flame Pine and Water Indus know this, but they tacitly agreed not to destroy that base.

The reason is simple, they need the help of the Rockets.

"Master Bai Yu, you seem to know Team Rocket very well."

Sakaki smiled coldly and said, "Why don't you join Team Rocket, just like Nancy did back then. I promise you a position as a senior cadre. With your strength, you can walk sideways in the entire Kanto and even the Pokémon world." Sakaki had started to cultivate champion-level combat power a long time ago, but unfortunately the effect was minimal.

The only one who had the potential to break through to the champion level was Nancy, who was born with super powers. However, Nancy was abducted by Bai Yu, and the hope he saw was shattered.

"Forget it. I don't like doing dirty things that are shameful and shameful. I still like to appear in front of the public with dignity."

Bai Yu smiled. If it weren’t for Nancy, he might have really joined Team Rocket back then.

After all, Baiyu's family is not wealthy, and it is indeed difficult to maintain a gym.

There is no point in saying this, after all, it’s all in the past.

"Darkrai possesses the power of faith!"

Sakaki looked at Darkrai. Compared to the previous Blazing Tiger, the Darkrai in front of him would be more difficult to deal with.

Darkrai's speed is also faster than that of the Blazing Roaring Tiger. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on speed to decide the outcome and catch the opponent off guard as before.

That being the case!

"Nidoqueen, power of the earth!" Sakaki took the lead in launching the attack.

Nidoqueen growled, a khaki light flashed in her eyes, and the earth shook violently for a moment.

An astonishing ochre-colored energy wave suddenly surged from where Darkrai was standing.

The power of the earth from the ground system.

"Shadow clone." Seeing this, Bai Yu shouted slowly.

Darkrai's figure instantly appeared into multiple clones, moving quickly in all directions.

The ochre-colored energy wave instantly submerged Darkrai's body, but did not cause any substantial damage. The body turned into bubbles and dissipated into the air.

"Interesting!" Sakaki seemed to guess Bai Yu's inner thoughts.

"Poison Tail!"

A deep purple light rose from Nido's tail.

The poisonous tail of the poison system.

"Shadow ball!"

The Darkrai surrounding Nidoqueen almost synchronized and formed a dark sphere. The next moment, the Darkrai simultaneously threw out the shadow balls in their hands.

Countless shadow balls blasted towards Nidoqueen's body.

Nidoqueen, who was well prepared, swung her tail and suddenly spun, blasting several shadow balls down from the air. A thick smoke exploded on the field, covering Nidoqueen's body.

As the Shadow Ball was released, the clones also lost their separated power and disappeared into the air like bubbles. Only Darkrai's real body remained. He raised his hands behind him and condensed a dark energy again.

"Evil wave!"

In mid-air, Darkrai released the evil energy that he had condensed long ago. A violent wave vibrated in the air and shot into the smoke.

The evil wave of the evil system.

Darkrai's special attack is quite good, and Nidoqueen's special defense is slightly inferior to her physical defense, but it can't withstand a few hits from the Wave of Evil.

"Get out of the way, Nidoqueen."

Nidoqueen instantly lowered her body, and the violent wave penetrated into the smoke and dust, instantly splashing a layer of air waves, which dispersed the smoke and dust, revealing Nidoqueen's body. The wave passed over Nidoqueen's head.

It exploded and hit the treetops not far away. The treetops could not withstand such an attack and exploded instantly, scattering into countless pieces of grass and wood.

"Trick!" Seeing this, Bai Yu also suppressed the urge to continue attacking.

Darkrai made a terrifying sound, and his figure flashed rapidly in the air. A white light merged into Darkrai's body. This instantaneous action also attracted Sakaki's attention.

"Nidoqueen, double kick."

Nidoqueen stepped forward heavily, her body sprinting quickly, bursting out at an extremely fast speed, raising countless smoke and dust. She pushed her legs forward with force, her whole body flying into the sky, and kicked directly at Darkrai's head.

Darkrai was a little dazed by the kick, and before he could react, another kick hit Darkrai's chest in the next second, and Darkrai was blown away by the force.

The white light on his body penetrated into Darkrai's body, and the effect of the trick was forcibly completed at this moment, and Darkrai's special attack increased by two levels.

"Evil wave!"

His body flew backwards, and Darkrai's emerald blue eyes stared at the Nidoqueen who was temporarily suspended in the air. An even more powerful and strange wave was released, hitting the Nidoqueen in mid-air squarely.

NidoQueen's huge body was instantly covered by the wave. Her face twisted into a piece and she let out bursts of roars to relieve her pain.

Under such an impact, his body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

Bang!
Bang! !

Two sounds of varying intensity were heard, and both Pokémon were engulfed in dust.

It was clearly heard that at that moment just now, Nidoqueen fell harder. The evil wave strengthened by the trick was much more powerful than the double kick.

Fighting-type moves do have a restraining effect on Dark-type Pokémon, but that doesn't mean the restraining effect can make the Pokémon go farther or fall harder.

Both sides' moves hit each other.

Bai Yu's mouth corners raised. This was the scene he wanted to see.

The double kick can be restrained, but the power of the strengthened evil wave is not inferior to the double kick.

It's even slightly more powerful than Nidoqueen's double kick.

"Darkrai! Dark Hole!"

Thick smoke billowed as a dark figure shuttled through the smoke. His hands gathered a dark light as he sensed the presence of Nidoqueen.

A dark hole of evil! If it hits, the opponent will fall asleep.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Darkrai had locked onto Nidoqueen's position and threw the sphere gathered in his hand out with incredibly fast movements.

The dark light flew out in an instant, but hit nothing. As time passed, the dust on the field disappeared, and Nidoqueen's figure also disappeared.

At that moment, Nidoqueen used Dig!
Due to the excessive dust on the field, Bai Yu was not sure whether to use it in advance or at the moment of attack.

Both the former and the latter indicate that the dark hole has been avoided.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that Sakaki can make some ordinary Pokémon so special. This may be Sakaki's unique understanding of ground-type Pokémon. (End of this chapter)
