Chapter 86 Cynthia: Is your Tire Cat legal?! (810, please subscribe!!)

Cynthia was full of praise.

Xia Chi was already drenched in sweat.

Regardless of the Pokémon's raw strength, just the two commands almost allowed them to firmly control the rhythm of the entire match.

Is this the oppressive power of the strongest champion?

That's truly monstrous strength.
Even if we can't win, we must fight with all our might!
"Tire Meow, Triple Spin!"

The acceleration effect of [Drafting] is evident.

Indigo icy light appeared between her claws, and Tiree released this ice-type move at an even faster speed than before.

The cat's claws, stained a frigid color by ice-type energy, slashed down once more on Lorelei's shoulder.
Well, there was no reaction.

You can control energy when attacking, but there's really no way to defend.

You can't just make a dramatic expression of pain when you get hit by a move that you can't counter, can you?

Lorelei's acting skills aren't as good as Pikachu's.

"Magic shines!"

Even though it's a training exercise, we can't just take the hits without fighting back.

Cynthia is quite curious about the defensive strength of Tire Meow, who has demonstrated strong offensive capabilities.

The rosebud burst forth with dazzling rainbow light in an instant, and the alluring yet deadly pinkish-purple energy bloomed like fireworks in the sky above the battlefield.

The closest Tilley Cat didn't even have time to change its attribute to defend itself before being hit first.

"Nya!"

Although there was no type advantage, and Lorelei deliberately restrained itself, the powerful and violent Fairy-type energy still caused Tirelei to let out a low, painful howl.

Cynthia's eyes lit up.

The magic flash, suppressed to amateur-level energy intensity, is only this level?
Don't underestimate amateur level. For example, even a starter Pokémon that has just evolved into its third form, such as Charizard, may not have the energy intensity of an amateur.

The amateur level is only compared to professional trainers such as senior rangers or even gym leaders, not to newcomers like Xia Chi.

Sure enough, this Tire Cat's abilities are truly all-around amazing!
Cynthia's fighting spirit was suddenly aroused.

She shouted urgently, "Sludge bomb!"

But as soon as the words left her mouth, Cynthia regretted them.

This intensity and pace might not be too much for Xia Chi, right?

However, the sound coming from the other side of the battlefield startled her.

"Shift gears!"

Cynthia: "?"

I couldn't understand it, but I was deeply moved.

Are you changing yours?

You're already talking about shifting gears? Do you even know how to shift gears, Tire Meow?

Cynthia thought to herself, a rare moment of unease.

Not far behind, Garchomp also had a question mark appear on its head.

I don't even know Dragon Dance, yet you, Tire Meow, know the high-spec version of gear shifting?

What do you want to do?!
On the battlefield, a silver light immediately shone from Tire Cat's body.

It gleams with a dazzling metallic luster under the reflection of the light.

It was clearly the external manifestation of the [Transformable] property being converted into a steel element!
And along with it shines a brilliant golden light, representing the enhancement of abilities!

Although Steel-type movesets include more than just [Shift], there is also [Iron Wall].

But no matter which move it is, it doesn't seem quite legal for you, Tire Meow, right?
Watching Tirion successfully transform into a Steel-type, immune to Poison-type moves, and then withstand the [Sludge Bomb] without taking any damage, Cynthia was momentarily stunned.

Even the battle-hardened Roserade looked at Tireia with a shocked expression.

This Pokémon, it turns out, knows Steel-type moves?

Xia Chi didn't care about anything else, seeing that the [gear shift] that had been hidden until now had finally achieved the desired effect.

He pressed his advantage and continued to command: "Attack! Three-spin attack!"

Tirey's attack speed is already fast, more than one level higher than other Pokémon of the same level.

With the added speed boosts from [Drafting] and [Shifting], Tire Cat is practically turning into a Reggie Elech!

An increasingly deep and dark icy light clung to his toes, his muscles tightened, and he suddenly exerted his strength.

With lightning speed, Tiremy raised the ice blades on its toes and spun towards Roseredo in front of it.

The latter instinctively raised the rose, condensing an energy vine whip to defend itself. The ice blade shattered instantly, and the flying ice shards refracted a colorful halo under the light.

Cynthia's pupils contracted slightly.

Roseredo was so shocked by the [gear shift] that she didn't have time to give any commands, and instinctively treated Tiremon as a normal opponent and retaliated?
This is arguably the highest praise a Pokémon can receive in a tutorial battle!

Cynthia's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly said, "Maximize your attack and speed, and let me see your and Tire's limits!"

Xia Chi raised an eyebrow in surprise; this had clearly gone beyond the scope of a training battle.

However, this is exactly what I wanted!
"Tire Meow, shift gears!"

In reality, the limit for temporarily boosting various abilities through moves is also 300% at level six; anything higher would exceed what the Pokémon's body can withstand.

So after five more enhancements, Tire Cat's physical attack and speed abilities were instantly boosted to their maximum!
Although it was only level 20 at the time, the combined attribute bonuses from [Triple Power] and [Chosen Badge] allowed Tire Meow to unleash energy that was completely beyond its current level!
A nearly invisible cyan body flashed past, its afterimages blurring as it propelled the spinning ice blades through the air, tracing sharp lines.

Roseredo's rose, from the one in her hand to the bow tie at her chest, was covered with shallow, intricate ice patterns.

Cynthia felt a chill run down her spine. What if this wasn't Tire Cat, but rather evolved into Magic Mask Cat?
If all the power-up moves are used up, it might actually pose a slight threat to Roserade?
This is not a denigration, but the highest praise.

The heights that most ordinary trainers could never reach in their entire lives, Xia Chi achieved in just two short years—

This is the average evolution speed of carefully bred starter Pokémon; Xia Chi's Tyree Meowth might have an even shorter evolution speed.

As Cynthia was expressing this sentiment, on the battlefield, Tiremy collapsed, exhausted.

Just like when Misdreavus took on four opponents, it wasn't a health bar issue, but rather that her mana bar was empty.

While moves with maxed-out physical attack enhancement are significantly more powerful, the energy required also increases exponentially.

After a series of high-frequency attacks, Tire Cat quickly exhausted all her energy.

On the battlefield, Roseredo discreetly concealed the shallow cut on her wrist from the ice blade behind her back, and then gracefully bowed to Tiremon.

------

"Thank you for your hard work, Tire Meow."

Xia Chi quickly walked into the field, helped it up, and encouraged it, "Great job!"

"Nya."

Tire Cat shook her head, looking somewhat remorseful.

Even with all my strength, I couldn't win. I guess I'm still too weak.
Xia Chi was speechless. Sure enough, a newborn cat is not afraid of a tiger. He had already aroused Cynthia's fighting spirit and she was still not satisfied.

Is she actually thinking of defeating the champion Roserade?

My cat, Tilly, is a little too ambitious.

However, what the cat needs more right now is encouragement, not criticism. Xia Chi rubbed its head and said, "This is only the first month we've been together. A year from now, you will have transformed into someone you can't even imagine. Do you believe me?"

"Nya!"

Tire Cat met Xia Chi's sincere gaze and nodded firmly.

When I evolve into Magic Masked Cat.
