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

Although this was not the first time Xia Chen had seen Long Ye's sticky dragon, looking at its enormous size of nearly three meters and the imposing aura it exuded, Xia Chen couldn't help but marvel at how well it had been raised.

Xia Chen, who had also raised a Goodra, understood perfectly well that judging a Pokémon's combat strength based on its size was absolutely correct.

This is a powerful Pokémon that is fully capable of being part of any champion's main lineup!

"Nian Meilong, pour cold water on me!"

Using the opponent's strength against them, Longye cleverly took advantage of the rainy weather set up by Xianbu and started by splashing cold water.

This is a relatively uncommon Water-type special attack move. Its power is not high, only slightly stronger than Water Gun, but it has a very special effect—

By splashing cold water that is enough to reduce the opponent's vitality, you can reduce the opponent's attack.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, this is the law of the elf world, and Longye's idea is very simple—

Goodra has extremely high Special Defense, and with the reduction of Sylveon's Attack, Goodra, which is not super effective against four types, has no more worries about defense.

Subsequently, it was able to gradually erode her strength until it was defeated, ignoring her multiple attribute changes, with its overwhelming power surpassing that of Super Fairybuff.

…………

The icy cold water sprayed upwards against the downward-falling raindrops. Suddenly, a red light flashed, and Sylveon's figure disappeared. It turned out that Xia Chen had decisively recalled Sylveon in its super-evolved state.

Longye frowned. He remembered what had happened not long ago: the aluminum steel dragon that had just been substituted in was rendered useless by Sai Fuhao's metallic voice and parting gift.

That time and that moment seem just like this moment.

However, Xia Chen probably doesn't have any Pokémon that disgusting anymore.

While Xia Chen was thinking, he had already sent out the Pokémon that would replace Sylveon in the game—Drow Ranger!

Why is it Doronchi?

Longye was somewhat surprised.

Theoretically speaking, before evolving into Dragapult, he is the weakest member of Xia Chen's main lineup. Why not Milotic?

Unaware that Milotic was still training with Rayquaza in the Hoenn region, Ryūno had this question in his mind.

However, he didn't think too much about it. He had already brought out his absolute trump card, Goodra, so it didn't matter whether the opponent was Drakengard or Milotic.

Chapter 351 Xi Cui Nian Mei Long's Debut, VS Nian Mei Long!

To be honest, before the match started, Longye never imagined that he would be forced into such a situation—having to send out Nene Ryu to handle the aftermath.

Although the influence of the two Mega Evolved Pokémon was the decisive factor, no matter what, Xia Chen's rate of strength growth was simply too terrifying.

Fortunately, Mega Gardevoir has fallen, and Mega Sylveon has temporarily retreated after Goodra's appearance.

Xia Chen's performance in this match has been nothing short of miraculous so far, and it's time for it to come to an end.

Longye murmured to himself.

On the field, torrential rain poured down, and the towering figure of Nianmeilong stood majestically on the rocky ground.

The already sticky body, after being thoroughly soaked by rainwater, forms a layer of slippery armor that provides exceptional protection against special attacks.

The special mucus secreted from her body is the most important reason why she can become the Wailing Wall, a special attacker.

"Soul Dragon, Dragon Pulse!"

Facing this Dragonkid whose aura was even stronger than the previous Cyclops, Ryūno had no reason to defend against any of its attacks and immediately had the Nume Dragon use a Dragon Pulse as its opening move.

"sticky--"

As a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Goodra is not only outstanding in defense, but its offensive and defensive capabilities are also above the average level of ordinary Pokémon.

With just a moment's pause, a spherical object, deep purple in color and containing rich dragon-type energy, emerged from the mouth of the Gluttonous Dragon and shot out towards the direction of the Dragon.

As soon as it broke free from the launcher, the energy ball suddenly expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a miasma that seemed to be alive, enveloping Doraki from all angles. No matter how Doraki dodged, it was as if it had been fitted with a tracker and had nowhere to hide.

Seeing this, Xia Chen had no choice but to give the order: "Let's launch a surprise attack."

The difference in strength between the two is like an insurmountable chasm. If Duolongqi were to be hit by this dragon's wave, he would surely fall.

While defeating the big boss Goodra certainly can't be done with Draco, he still plays a crucial role in the plan and can't be easily defeated.

…………

Seeing the void rift open and Doronchi disappear into the overwhelming dragon energy, Longye was not surprised at all. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Pay attention to where he appears. Don't give him any chance. Take him away with your dragon breath!"

Xia Chen clicked his tongue lightly. Why be so cautious when fighting a gym-level Dragapult?

With the trainer's instructions, Goodra naturally wouldn't take it lightly, looking around for any unusual activity in the air.

Suddenly, she sensed a distorted spatial energy fluctuation appearing behind her. With her extremely rich combat experience, Niumi immediately realized that Doronchi was playing a trick, trying to appear from behind her.

Energy was gathering in her mouth, and at the same time she suddenly turned around. Her first big movement was surprisingly agile.

The moment he turned around, he unleashed a burst of dragon energy, but it only hit empty air. Behind him, apart from the quietly closing void rift, there was nothing at all!

Not behind you?

No, it's still behind us!

Nian Meilong clearly felt a slight force gripping her back—

The moment Doron emerged from the void rift, it did not choose to attack directly, but instead attached itself to its own back!

What is he going to do?

"Doraki, Light Screen!"

Xia Chen's command revealed the answer to Niang Meilong.

It's neither an attack nor a buff, but a move that, once erected, reduces special attack damage by half: a light screen.

Whether it's attacking or boosting, it only works on Dragapult itself. But relying on Dragapult to fight Goodra is really a pipe dream, so the appearance of Light Screen is not surprising.

Colorless and formless supernatural energy coalesced and formed a transparent prism that reflected light under the lamplight, separating Goodra and Draco.

Longye frowned slightly; this was not good news for him.

There are only two ways to deal with annoying things like light walls and reflective walls: either smash them directly with [Brick Break], or improve your own output to ignore them.

Unfortunately, Nian Meilong is not good at either of these.

Kommo-o, the pseudo-legendary Fighting-type Pokémon, is proficient in Brick Break, but Goodra has only just switched in and still has more than four minutes of "switch-in cooldown".

Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that Xia Chen sent Duolongqi to release the light wall.

The next tactic is predictable: set up a reflective barrier, quickly eliminate it, and leave the stage for the real main damage dealer, Super Sylvanas Windrunner.

…………

Although Longye understood, he had no choice but to instruct, "Nianmeilong, use your tentacles to pull him off first."

Being small has its advantages. Draco, clinging to the nearly three-meter-tall Goodra, was like a parasite, impossible to shake off. Only his powerful tentacles could pull him down.

Although the two tentacles looked soft, their extensibility and flexibility were unmatched by any synthetic material, and they quickly grabbed onto a small object.

However, when she brought the thing to her, she was dumbfounded. It turned out that the tentacles had not grabbed Doronchi, but Doronmesia, who had offered herself up.

The golden cicada escapes from its shell!

And what about Doraki's true form?

In the short time that followed, he had already erected a second line of defense behind Nian Meilong—a reflective barrier.

Longye had no choice but to let the sticky dragon vent its anger on the dragon Mesia, shouting, "Dragon Breath!"

It didn't even take long to condense energy; a casual spit of purple dragon breath was enough to knock out Doronmesia, rendering him dizzy and unable to fight, causing his plane to crash onto the rocky ground.

At the same time, the reflective wall was fully deployed, and a classic [light wall-reflective wall combined defense line] was officially completed.

Longye could only console himself that after doing all this, Duolongqi would be of no use anymore.

Although it seems he could use moves like Will-O-Wisp or Thunder Wave to annoy Goodra, this approach is not viable because Goodra's ability, Wet Body, can remove status conditions in the rain.

Therefore, Doraki's only role going forward is to quickly get rid of it and leave the field, giving Sylvanas enough time to perform under the double walls.

Thinking of this, Longye's mood suddenly eased a lot.

No matter how cunning Ren Xiachen may be, when faced with an absolute difference in strength, the weak can only do so much.

But just as he was thinking this, he saw that the Duolongqi behind Nianmeilong did not fly out as he expected, but instead started spinning in circles!

…………

Dance of Dragons!

Long Ye of the Imperial Dragon Clan was very familiar with this move.

But why did he perform Dragon Dance? Did he really think Draco could break Goodra's defense?

To reach that level, you'd need at least two or three dragon dances to have a chance, right?

Even so, Draco's margin for error is still extremely low. If Goodra just uses any move, Draco will die instantly.

Isn't this a waste of time for light walls and reflective walls?

Something's not right, something's really not right.

Given Xia Chen's fighting style, he wouldn't do something with such a disproportionate risk-reward ratio, so there's only one answer—

Pass the baton!

A flash of inspiration struck Long Ye, and he quickly realized the ultimate purpose behind Xia Chen's move.

Baton Pass, a very special variation move even within the entire skill pool—

It deliberately leaves the field, passing on all its buffs to the next Pokémon to enter the field!

This is definitely it!

Longye suddenly understood.

Moves like [Dragon Tail], [Blow Away], and [U-turn] that cause a Pokémon to leave the field do not count towards the five-minute time limit, and the same applies to Baton Pass.

Therefore, Doraki's use of Dragon Dance to enhance his abilities and then leaving the field in conjunction with the baton exchange is a completely permissible action within the rules.

Similarly, this is exactly what Xia Chen wanted to achieve!

We can't let Duolongqilongwu take over the stage!

He made that decision in an instant.
