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

The Good Dragon, carrying a heavy steel shell and looking nothing like someone who could fly, suddenly took to the air, a scene that seemed extremely bizarre.

Many Pokémon may appear unable to fly, but they can actually fly; Garchomp and Metagross are examples of pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

However, these two, the former has two dragon fins that look like wings, and the latter can levitate through a combination of electromagnetic force and superpowers, so from the perspective of physical structure, they are at least somewhat possible.

What's wrong with you, Sticky Dragon?

I could accept it if it took off by rotating its two tentacles like a propeller!

Aren't you afraid that Groudon will knock you down with a single Cliff Sword as you fly like that, without following any rules?

Even though nothing has gone as expected since this Pokémon appeared, Goodra's soaring flight still gave the audience a bit of a jolt.

Regardless, facts speak louder than words.

It's a certainty that the Xenomorph Golem escaped the earthquake by flying.

"Continue, Dragon Claw!"

Ignoring the shocked looks from the outside world, Xia Chen continued to give instructions.

Because it inherited a Dragon Dance buff from Dragapult, Goodra's Attack stat is higher than its Special Attack stat.

When facing the opponent's so-called "Wailing Wall," which is known as a special attacker, Dragon Claw is naturally the most effective move to deal damage.

Strictly speaking, this "most" should exclude the "reverse scale," but clearly, there is no need to use such a desperate tactic as the "reverse scale" now.

…………

The claws of the Washing Jade Sticky Dragon are fleshy and do not look sharp, but the dragon claws formed by the condensation of dragon energy are terrifyingly powerful.

With a powerful downward slash, the dark green dragon claws, almost covering the opponent's entire body, slammed down, delivering a strong blow to the Good Dragon.

Even a dragon with such high stamina and endurance as the Goomy Dragon was somewhat disoriented by this dragon claw.

The special, sticky liquid on the body surface can withstand the energy erosion of special attacks, but it cannot withstand such a direct, large-scale attack.

In other words, there was a clear difference in strength between the two sides; otherwise, after that slap, Nian Meilong wouldn't even be able to stand up straight.

"Sticky Dragon, pounce!"

Seeing that moves like Earthquake were completely ineffective against the flying Xenomorph Goodra, Tatsuno decisively adjusted his strategy, targeting another weakness of his opponent.

The Pounce move is quite special; its power depends on the user, namely Goodra's physical defense.

As we all know, Goodra's physical defense is much lower than her physical defense, so this move doesn't have much power in her hands.

But against a Gym Leader-level Pokémon, Sucker Punch is definitely enough.

Niu Meilong didn't rush to attack. She first extended the tentacles on her head and entangled her opponent's legs, which weren't flying very high, to prevent them from escaping.

Immediately, a destructive white light shone from her massive body, and her soft flesh hardened, becoming angular and muscular.

With a powerful downward pull of its tentacles, the strange Goomy Dragon in the low sky could not withstand the monstrous force and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Then she lunged forward and used the most primitive hand-to-hand combat technique to launch a flying and heavy attack on her opponent!

The alien Goodra barely managed to roll half a circle, adjusting its frontal face from its soft belly to its hard steel shell.

throat--

Muscles and metal collided violently, like Mars colliding with Earth, producing a powerful, resounding sound like a booming bell, causing the already shattered rocks and soil on the ground to vibrate and hum.

"sticky--"

The voice was somewhat childish and soft; clearly, it was a cry of pain emanating from a young, alien, gluttonous dragon.

In a way, this is a good thing. The fact that she can call out means that at least she hasn't lost her ability to fight, right?

With the help of [Reflect] and [Teary Eyes], the attack, whose main force was directed at the hard steel shell, was not fatal. However, the double-superiority of the Fighting-type physical move truly made the young Goodra experience the cruelty of battle.

…………

Xia Chen's expression turned slightly serious as he commanded, "Nian Meilong, go into seclusion!"

If you fall down, lie down there.

Before his opponent could react, Nianmeilong, having received the order, shrank back and curled up like a snail into the large steel shell on his back.

At the same time, energy condensed, and a silvery-white light shone brightly under the stadium lights. Outside the steel shell, a faint wisp of colorless, transparent smoke seemed to linger.

Seclusion – A defensive enhancement move exclusive to the Azure Goomyon, increasing the user's physical defense and evasion by one stage.

This effect alone demonstrates the power of this move. The Shadow Clone only increases evasion by one level, which is equivalent to giving away a physical defense level for free.

Of course, the two moves cannot be judged so simply as to which is superior; the illusionary effect of the shadow clone is also very useful in many situations.

However, regardless of the circumstances, seclusion is still a power-up move that most Pokémon with a passive build would envy.

Currently, only Xia Chen knows the effect of this move. The audience on the sidelines, including Long Ye on the battlefield, were all a bit confused when they first heard about it.

Looking at the steel shell on the ground that seemed as impregnable as a fortress, Longye pondered for a moment, then decisively commanded, "Drops of Life!"

Goodra lacks ways to strengthen itself, and its opponent is in a shell-shrinking state, making it difficult to deal damage. Therefore, recovering from the damage from the two dragon claws it just took is a good option.

As long as you can stall until the light wall and the reflection wall, and even until the [Teary-eyed] state on your body ends, victory is still within your grasp.

The vibrant blue water droplets fell in a string of raindrops, healing the already not-too-serious injuries of the dragon.

Longye squinted, staring intently at the large steel shell, pondering something in his mind.

Suddenly, the steel shell shook, as if something inside was about to break free. Longye shouted decisively, "Sticky Dragon, act cute!"

As we all know, weakening the opponent is strengthening your own side. While Goodra doesn't strengthen herself, she can weaken her moves.

This act of acting cute is a powerful move that can significantly reduce the opponent's physical attack.

As long as the opponent is hit by this "Adoring" skill, and with the recovery from the Life Drop, Good Dragon will be able to transition to the Double Wall, Dragon Dance, and Tearful Ending in perfect condition.

A pale pink special energy wave was released toward the alien Goodra, which should have caused it to emit a pale purple, weakening light representing the weakening energy flow.

But then something strange happened again. The energy hit the alien Goomy Dragon, but it couldn't penetrate her body. Instead, it was reflected back like light hitting a mirror!

…………

This is a magic mirror!

The audience members were all highly skilled trainers, and they were no strangers to the effects of this characteristic.

Right now, the characteristics exhibited by this mutant Goodra are precisely those of the extremely powerful Magic Mirror, which is possessed by very few Pokémon!

The effect of this feature is very simple—it reflects all variation moves except for a few such as [Please go first] and [Share the pain]!

This naturally includes the [cuteness] that Tatsuno's Nume Ryu is currently using!

The attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and Goodra was affected by its opponent's [Magic Mirror] ability, causing its attack to drop significantly again!

The live camera focused on the two trainers on the field. Ryuno was surprised and had a wry smile on his face. He obviously did not expect that this mutant Goodra would have this ability.

Xia Chen was surprised but couldn't hide his joy—such a good thing?

To be honest, he didn't expect his own sticky dragon's special ability to come into play before the battle.

This unexpected surprise caused Xia Chen to change his original battle strategy, and he immediately shouted, "Break the shell!"

This enhancement move is very powerful and special—it greatly increases both attack and speed, but reduces both defense because it sacrifices defense.

Although Goodra has a shell, this is not a technique she originally possessed; rather, it was learned later through Zoroark's Technique-Tech Devil Fruit.

Considering that Goodra is the only Pokémon without any offensive stat-boosting moves, this special berry was assigned to her.

Her naturally strong defensive and defensive capabilities also allow her to maintain good survivability after hatching, not to mention that her opponent is currently weakened by being teary-eyed and acting cute.

Therefore, Xia Chen chose to use the aggressive "Breaking Out" technique immediately after his seclusion, because he keenly sensed that the time for a counterattack had arrived.

A rich orange glow flowed around the Green Dragon, indicating that the enhancement brought about by hatching had taken shape. Coupled with the Dragon Dance that had not yet dissipated, she was now a formidable threat to her opponents!

"Dragon Tail!"

"Ignoring all concerns about saving face," Longye shouted urgently.

After hatching, the power of one thing diminished while the other grew. The threat posed by this mutant Goodra was now greater than that of Mega Sylveon. Before his weakened abilities were restored, he had lost confidence that his Goodra could gain the upper hand in this battle.

Although Longwei seems to be avoiding battle, it's still better than being overwhelmed by this junior later, right?

…………

Goodra's thick tail dipped slightly, then gathered energy and hurled it at its opponent.

This move isn't about power; it's just about sending that troublesome mutant Goodra back into its Poké Ball.

You have feelings, but I am unwilling.

The benefits of hatching are not limited to attack power; the significant increase in speed makes her much faster than her seemingly bulky size suggests.

With a nimble dodge to the right, the Emerald Dragon dodged the clearly traced dragon tail, and its opponent's plan naturally fell through.

"Fight back, Iron Tail!"

Having dodged the dragon's tail, the Emerald Dragon steadied itself and then, using its waist to generate power, swung its large, steel-shelled tail back with a powerful, mirror-like motion, the silvery-white metal gleaming with a menacing, dangerous light.

Long Ye's expression turned solemn, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Don't dodge, use True Qi Bullet!"

With the dragon's tail evaded and the opponent pressing relentlessly, there is absolutely no reason to avoid it any longer, whether from an emotional or rational perspective.

Taking advantage of the fact that the mutant Goodra's Special Defense had decreased due to hatching, he was going to use this double-strength Aura Bomb to regain his momentum!

Nian Meilong stood firmly as if in a horse stance. In front of her, an orange-yellow energy projectile with an aura similar to a wave missile swelled as she focused her breath.

At the same time, a gust of wind generated by the swinging of a heavy object swept past in front of the Nume Dragon, and its steel tail was already very close to its body.

Boom——

The crisp sound of metal striking metal had rang out countless times today, yet the sticky dragon, the one subjected to the force, remained unmoved.

It wasn't that the iron tail failed to break her defenses—the iron tail after hatching was undoubtedly more powerful than the previous dragon claw.

However, Good Dragon persevered through sheer willpower, and then, the cannonball in front of him, brimming with berserk Fighting-type energy, was finally fully charged and launched with a roar!

The energy blast flew at low altitude, skimming the ground at high speed, kicking up clouds of dust that drifted in the wind.

At the end of its trajectory, the massive body of the Washing Jade Dragon, having just unleashed its Iron Tail, stood motionless. From this angle, it was a true energy blast that was almost impossible to dodge.

But today seems like a miracle's birthday, with nothing happening as people had anticipated.

The next instant, a ripple of mist appeared in the air, and the true energy blast that should have hit Xi Cui Nian Mei Long head-on passed right through her body and missed!

boom--
