Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

She's in top form right now.

While injuries cannot be healed inside a Poké Ball, energy can be slowly restored. Fortunately, Gardevoir was not injured, but its energy was greatly depleted due to two consecutive Teleports. In this short time, it has already recovered about half of its energy.

Judging from the current situation, this is a contest with no suspense whatsoever.

The only point of contention between the two sides is whether Gardevoir can take this opportunity to strengthen itself.

But what can Aluminum Steel Dragon do to stop Gardevoir from strengthening itself?

The only viable option was a suicidal charge.

"Aluminum Steel Dragon, charge! Iron Head!"

Just like the name of its move, Duraludon is incredibly stubborn right now, ignoring the dense Fairy-type energy gathered on Mega Gardevoir's orange horn and just charging forward relentlessly.

Longye's intention was clear: Come on, kill me!

If you don't mess with me, I'll mess with you!

Chapter 349 What exactly is a hexagonal warrior?!

It must be said that although this tactic is clumsy, it is the optimal solution under the current circumstances.

Although Duraludon's attack and defense capabilities were significantly reduced due to the influence of Saifu's farewell gift, it is still an Elite Four level Pokémon. If you ignore its attack and focus on buffing itself, Gardevoir's small size will not be able to withstand it.

In the end, it will only result in more harm than good.

Xia Chen had no choice but to let Gardevoir quickly take care of Duraludon.

Under the influence of the metallic sound, the outcome of a Mega Gardevoir with extremely high Special Attack facing a Duraludon with extremely low Special Defense is self-evident.

In less than three minutes, Gardevoir defeated it using kiting tactics, striving to minimize its physical and energy consumption.

She also tried to secretly meditate and strengthen herself during the process, but the aluminum steel dragon was simply too fierce and fearless.

Finally, he only had a moment to meditate before the last strike of lunar power hit him.

The score is now tied 1-1.

As the building collapsed like a miniature skyscraper, the bigwigs in the audience marveled.

They could clearly see that Long Ye wasn't holding back at all. Even so, after nearly ten minutes of fierce fighting, the situation was now evenly matched, with Xia Chen even having a slight advantage.

With one Pokémon from each group falling, and the other Pokémon that appeared, Mega Gardevoir, being stronger than Dragonite, isn't that the advantage?

However, Xia Chen's side is not without its hidden dangers. His most powerful Pokémon are undoubtedly Gardevoir and Sylveon, which can Mega Evolve.

At this point, one of the two has already been eliminated, and Mega Gardevoir is not in good condition either. Looking at the overall situation, the advantage still lies with Ryuno.

But Pokémon battles are never just a game of theory; you only know how it works by actually playing.

With anticipation in their eyes, they refocused their attention on the field. At this moment, Longye's third Pokémon had entered the arena—Charizard!

…………

Although it is not a Dragon-type Pokémon, Charizard is a popular Pokémon that most trainers choose to raise early on.

Most traditional Dragon-type Pokémon mature late in life, but Charizard, as one of the starter Pokémon, matures much faster, coupled with its imposing appearance and formidable strength—

Not only do dragon trainers love to keep them, but many novice trainers also consider them one of the best starter Pokémon choices.

The fire-breathing dragon before them possessed a majestic physique, bulging muscles, powerful and broad wings, and an imposing face, with its breath radiating intense heat.

Its extraordinary nature is evident in every aspect.

Xia Chen looked solemn. Having known Long Ye for two years, he naturally knew the power of this fire-breathing dragon from Dragon Island.

It's no exaggeration to say that, apart from his ace Goodra, the only other strong members of his team are Charizard and Kommo-o, while his previous Dragonite is a step behind.

If the opponent is a Fairy-type Gardevoir, Charizard is undoubtedly a better choice than the other two.

Longye not only didn't hold back, but he was going to go all out!

Taking a deep breath, Xia Chen tried his best to maintain a high level of concentration.

"Gardevoir, Thunderbolt!"

With his mind racing, Xia Chen chose to strike first.

He needs to be quick at every step, ensuring he maintains firm control over the rhythm of the battle.

While Ryuu switched to Charizard, Gardevoir diligently built up its energy.

So, as soon as Xia Chen opened her mouth, in the blink of an eye, a bright yellow lightning dragon crackling with electricity shot out from the sharp horn on her chest and rushed straight towards the fire-breathing dragon that had not yet found its footing.

Lightning is known for its speed, and Electric-type moves are usually much faster than moves of other types. Even so, Charizard managed to dodge the Thunderbolt with a leap.

fly!

Like digging and stealthy attacks, this move allows you to quickly escape the battlefield and then launch a sharp counterattack against your opponent.

Even though Longye didn't give any command, it made such a precise judgment the moment it released the ball. This Charizard's combat experience and awareness are frighteningly high.

There was no time for reflection. Xia Chen quickly commanded, "Gardedoll, watch out for attacks from above!"

The damage from Flying is not low, and it's Charizard's STAB Flying-type move. Even though Charizard is a Pokémon that leans towards Special Attack, you still can't let your guard down.

Because the space above the rocky terrain inside the gym is not large, Charizard only flew up a dozen meters before turning its head and gliding vertically downwards like a hunting eagle.

Gardevoir's speed after Mega Evolution is also quite high. With its strong mental power, it judges the landing point and calmly dodges to the left. Its slender figure just barely passes Charizard.

However, this was not the end of the offensive.

"Air Blade!"

The dragon turned its head, flapped its wings, and on them, the shimmering white flying-type energy transformed into a violent and chaotic flow of air, which instantly condensed into several sharp, dagger-like projectiles that shot towards Gardevoir behind it.

These quick and easy moves may not be very powerful, but they are effective because they are unexpected.

Just like now, even though Mega Gardevoir reacted when the air blades were fired, it was unable to dodge them.

…………

Sa——

A series of sharp, ear-piercing sounds rang out. Gardevoir's black skirt was slashed open by the air blades, revealing her snow-white skin underneath. The gushing blood made the black skirt even more eerie.

Although the wounds looked frightening, Gardevoir's already extremely high Special Defense and durability, coupled with the Calm Mind buff, meant that the damage from this Air Blade wasn't too severe.

This is why she didn't use either Guard or Teleport, even though she could have.

"Gardevoir, foresee the future!"

Xia Chen chose to play it safe.

A seed containing immense and terrifying supernatural energy was silently and invisibly buried in the air above the vast rocky arena.

This is a time bomb; to be precise, it's an undefendable time bomb that constantly increases its damage.

I admit that your reaction is quick, even dodging 100,000 volts, but if I were to use a delayed explosion to foresee the future on the field, and then use meditation to enhance its power, how would you deal with it?

Ryūno reacted quickly, "Charizard, Rock Tomb!"

I don't care if you can foresee the future or have 100,000 volts, I will subdue you with my own strength!

Although Charizard is better at special attack moves, it is undoubtedly more threatening to Gardevoir, whose special defense is several times higher than its physical defense.

Therefore, Ryūno chose Rock Tomb, a Rock-type physical attack that can also lower the opponent's speed.

Energy condensed, and dozens of not-so-large rocks floated silently in front of Charizard. They didn't seem as intimidating as violent moves like Rock Slide, but they were surprisingly effective in controlling the enemy.

As Charizard's broad, powerful wings continued to flap, a swarm of rocks shot out one after another, surrounding Gardevoir in a strange formation.

"Teleport!"

The teleportation I saved earlier finally came in handy. The rock blockade that seemed to make it impossible for the victim to escape was still a bit lacking in the face of mindless teleportation.

Gardevoir successfully escaped, and as expected, it landed hovering in the far sky, almost at the furthest point from Charizard on the field.

Then, I immediately began to meditate.

Xia Chen's strategy at this moment is very simple. Now that Gardevoir has already laid the groundwork for Foresight, all he needs to do next is avoid its sharp edge and try not to be attacked. Any chance to use Meditation to strengthen himself is a bonus.

This was an open strategy, and Longye understood it as well, so his approach was quite targeted: "Charizard, Flare Charge!"

Want to pull me apart?

Do you think my Charizard can't fly?

…………

The blazing flames, like armor, tightly enveloped all parts of Charizard's body, transforming him into a ghost rider from hell, as he flapped his wings and flew towards Gardevoir in the distance.

"Surprise attack!"

Xia Chen dared not be presumptuous and immediately instructed Gardevoir to stop meditating.

Longye is really ruthless; he'll use a violent move like Flame Charge at the drop of a hat.

If Gardevoir gets hit, it will not only be 100% knocked down on the spot, but it will also owe Charizard a large portion of its health.

Although Charizard was fast in Flame Charge mode, Gardevoir easily dodged it because of the initial distance between them.

Gardevoir stayed inside for nearly ten seconds before finally venturing out—if it weren't for the rules, she could have stayed in the void until the [Future Insight] energy cluster outside exploded.

"Charge Flame Attack!"

Seeing that Gardevoir had finally decided to appear, Ryūno immediately commanded Charizard to charge tirelessly once again.

For him, this was a matter of almost no cost, just a matter of consuming more energy. However, Gardevoir's protective measures were limited, and neither Ryuu nor Charizard had any patience to spare.

While the power of Charged Flame Strike isn't high, it has a significant effect: increasing speed, which is exactly what Charizard needs right now.

The faster the speed, the less time Gardevoir has to react.

Charizard can make many mistakes, but Gardevoir will lose everything if it makes a mistake.

Xia Chen looked at the Charizard, whose aura had clearly weakened considerably, and a thought flickered in his mind.

Even if the charged flame attack hits, it won't cause fatal damage; you can take a gamble.

While thinking for a moment, he immediately commanded, "Gardedoll, use Thunder!"

The orange-red horn lit up in sync with the voice, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered beneath the dojo's ceiling, with faint traces of rolling thunder rushing through them.

Just as Charizard was a few body lengths away from Gardevoir, several bolts of lightning, like thunder dragons, crashed down violently.
