Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

"Then, let's go!"

Petalburg City Gym Leader - "Tough Guy" Senri vs. Elite Trainer - Lowell

Here...

...Let's settle this once and for all!

"A flash of lightning... High Speed ​​Star!!!"

Sylveon's body instantly created a series of chaotic afterimages as it rapidly and erratically maneuvered around Chansey. During this process, its tail and even the ribbons on its entire body swung, and large swathes of pink-glowing star-shaped energy blasts swarmed towards Chansey!

In an instant, Chansey was surrounded by a dense barrage of bullets, which quickly wove together into an impenetrable net of fire, engulfing Chansey completely.

"Oh!"

The audience in the stands immediately became excited. That's right, this is the effect that Pokémon battles are all about. Lowe's attack was powerful and entertaining. At least the star-studded barrage formed a well-organized geometric pattern that was dazzling to behold.

This is certainly not just a display of skill, but has a very profound reason. Because there are so many bullets, they may even collide with each other's trajectories, causing them to cancel each other out without hitting the opponent.

This regular geometric trajectory allows each projectile to stagger its own path, ensuring that no output is wasted.

How many light projectiles were there in that instant? Hundreds? Thousands?

In any case, the number was far beyond what the human eye could judge, completely submerging Chansey. Given Chansey's relatively low Speed ​​stat, it was highly unlikely that it could escape this attack.

However, the other party probably doesn't need to dodge at all...

A beam of light burst forth, and Chansey gently waved its raised finger, conjuring a dazzling light barrier that blocked all incoming light projectiles.

This barrage of light projectiles failed to break through the light barrier surrounding her.

At the same time, a ring of golden electric arcs suddenly burst forth from Chansey's body.

"Electromagnetic waves?"

Li Wei recognized this move immediately. He used electromagnetic waves to inflict a "paralyzing" state on the opponent, which not only reduced the opponent's speed but also made it possible for the opponent to fail to use their skills.

It's a condition that becomes quite troublesome in battles once you get it...

no way……

Luo Wei reached out and grasped the crystal that shone with a Z-shaped light. As golden flames burst from his body, he raised his hand and waved it, taking out his first cheat.

The blazing flames quickly transferred from Rowe to Sylveon, who completely absorbed the ultimate power transmitted from Rowe. She immediately perked up and, with a series of light steps, an incredible aura shimmering with pink light spread out.

A mysterious aura, like pink bubbles, enveloped the entire venue, as if a pink filter had been instantly applied to the stage. Combined with the countless star-shaped bullet comments, it all looked even cuter...

"This is really..."

Although it looked like a very beautiful and gorgeous scene, Chiri knew very well that beneath this seemingly dazzling scene lay an extremely dangerous attack. On Lowei's side, with the help of Z-Power, Sylveon directly created a Misty Terrain.

The electromagnetic wave struck Sylveon directly, but she simply shook her body, and the leaping arc of electricity dissipated without causing her any harm.

The effect of Misty Terrain prevents Pokémon within the Terrain from developing status conditions for the duration of the Terrain Terrain.

As long as this venue exists, many problems can be solved. The problem of electromagnetic waves has at least been solved, but the problems of the light curtain and the "Wall of Sighs" have not been solved.

Electromagnetic waves, poison (the new generation removed the poison skill, so Egg can't use poison anymore, but anyway, this isn't the first time we've gone against the game, so don't worry about the details~), and other status ailment skills are all useless now.

However, if we can't break through the enemy's defenses, then piling up firepower on our side is still meaningless...

However, Luo Wei had already figured out a way to break through...

The misty terrain setup is complete, and the buffs are almost applied. We've determined that the opponent's Chansey excels at defense, but doesn't have many ways to affect Sylveon's offensive capabilities.

After all, Sylveon has decent durability, and without the status ailment affecting her, her opponent couldn't possibly defeat Sylveon with her power...

So, while using bullet hell to suppress the opponent, Lowe had Sylveon begin meditating!

Sylveon's body rose into the air, and crimson psychic energy patterns continuously gathered around her. As meditation took effect, Sylveon's Special Attack began to increase...

So……

"...Now let me break through this barrier, the first step of the inheritance, Z-Move!"

Chapter 196 Super-Powered Z-Moves

Luo Wei originally wanted to try to pull things back, but in the current situation, he clearly had no right to hide his abilities.

After all, the person he was facing was his own father, the man known as the strongest gym leader in Hoenn...

...Of course, considering the existence of a certain big shot, whether he is the strongest gym leader in Hoenn is still debatable, but in any case, Senri's strength did not give Rowe any chance to pull him aside.

There was no other way but to use all the cheats; there was nothing left to hide anyway...

...Luo Wei once again assumed a fighting stance, and his body was once again radiating a blazing golden flame.

"Hey, that move can actually be used consecutively?"

The audience in the stands were naturally shocked. Luo Wei had already used Z-Power to make Sylveon use Misty Terrain. Logically speaking, Z-Moves are special moves that can only be used once per battle, essentially a trump card.

Originally intended as a last-ditch effort to turn the tide of the battle, Lowe used this move right at the start.

However, considering that the opponent is Qianli, it is reasonable to use this move as an opening...

If this move isn't used, it's highly likely that Lowe will not only be unable to break through Chansey's Wailing Wall, but will also be worn down and killed by Chansey's series of status ailment attacks.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer amount of durability combined with abnormal statuses like poison is enough to give anyone a run for their money. This isn't a game where there's no restriction like "only one abnormal status can exist besides confusion."

In other words, you can simultaneously apply a full set of debuffs to your opponent, such as poison, paralysis, burn, and confusion. Under such a full set of debuffs, they can't even use one-tenth of their strength, and naturally, they can only take hits.

Luo Wei sealed all abnormalities with a single mist field, essentially eliminating the opponent's abnormal interference tactics. It was practically a cheat code that could win with a single click.

The next step is to figure out how to deal with the opponent's troublesome bulk. How can we break through the defense of the pink Devil Chansey, which is known as the "Wailing Wall"?

As for the strongest burst skill in Lowe's hands, it would naturally be the Z-Move...

"Come on, come on, take a look... This is my 'Full Power'!"

The burning golden flames quickly transferred to Sylveon's body. With a single step, she used her psychic powers to lift herself into the air, her ribbons swirling and creating a large swath of shimmering star-shaped light projectiles.

Although the attack method was not much different from before, the quantity was vastly different. A dense barrage of light bullets rained down like a deluge!

Seeing this, Chansey still raised her hand and released a light screen. The next second, her body was swallowed up by the surging light.

"Not enough, not enough! How could this possibly beat Dad? So, let's go again, with even stronger firepower!"

Once again, golden light shone from Luo Wei's body, this time truly leaving everyone around him bewildered.

No way, how did you manage to use Z-Moves three times in such a short time?

This time, the ultimate power doesn't enhance the terrain or offensive moves; the enhanced skill is...

"……meditation!!!"

Normally, meditation enhanced with ultimate power would have the additional effect of eliminating power reduction, and the ultimate power in Rowe's hands was obviously several times stronger than normal.

It's also possible that Lowe obtained the ultimate power not through the Island Tour and defeating the Totem Pokémon to receive the blessing of the Island God, but by skipping the Totem Pokémon and the Island God and receiving the blessing from a higher source.

Therefore, the effect is obviously stronger than the ultimate power obtained from a normal island pilgrimage. Now, with the completion of the dual-wielding enhancement, the effect is further improved...

The meditation enhanced by the ultimate power enveloped Sylveon in a powerful aura.

Under normal circumstances, if you see your opponent strengthening, you can't just do nothing; you should at least take action to interrupt or force them to retreat.

Given that Chansey's tactics were sealed by the field due to its abnormal status, almost none of its remaining attacks could reach Sylveon.

Of course, Chansey is a defensive specialist and its status ailments can be quite frustrating, so we didn't expect it to deal much damage head-on, and we didn't train any offensive skills for it.

Of course, he could switch to a main attacker to interrupt Sylveon's buff, but Chansey was only testing Rowe's firepower, so he didn't plan to switch.

So, does that mean that in his opinion, the firepower that Luo Wei is currently using is still "acceptable"?

In any case, after finishing her meditation, Sylveon once again gathered her offensive power. This time, instead of a barrage of light projectiles, countless pink rays of light rose up and converged in mid-air into a gigantic, terrifyingly large star-shaped light projectile that could instantly cover most of the area...

As Luo Wei forcefully swung his raised hand down, the starlight bullet fell to the ground like a meteor.

People in the audience couldn't help but lean back instinctively at that moment. No matter how cute the visual style looked, it couldn't change the fact that the power of this attack was enough to be judged by the naked eye.

This is no joke; it's a genuine and incredibly powerful blow!

The falling light orb landed solidly, and for a moment the entire arena was filled with dazzling light. Even under this powerful attack, Luo Wei held his breath and focused intently. If it were any other opponent, Luo Wei was confident that this attack would send them packing.

But facing someone thousands of miles away, Luo Wei had very little confidence. As the surging light dissipated, Luo Wei's heart sank even further.

Amidst the light, the figure remained unmoved. Even after taking such a terrifying attack, it seemed to still be able to stand.

Just as Luo Wei was feeling this way, the figure swayed and finally couldn't maintain its stance. It wobbled and fell backward, seemingly unable to continue fighting.

Just as Luo Wei was about to catch his breath, Chansey, who was about to fall, raised its hand and swung a gray ray. Sylveon, who had just unleashed a powerful attack, was caught off guard and hit squarely by the gray ray.

Then, a flash of light appeared on Sylveon's body, and the stat boosts it had just gained through meditation were completely wiped out.

"...A parting gift? No, Dad, why would your Chansey do something like that? Is your Chansey even legal?"

Luo Wei couldn't help but complain, "I didn't expect Chansey to be able to clear my buffs before leaving, making a final contribution to the teammates who will appear later."

"Hehe, it's just a little bit of courtesy. Well then, next up is my second Pokémon..."

Although the score is currently 0-1, Senri doesn't seem to be shaken at all, as if Chansey's loss has no effect on him.

He recalled Chansey, then raised his hand and sent out a second Pokémon...

As the light dissipated, what appeared before Lowe was a Pokémon with brown skin all over its body, a pouch on its chest, and a dinosaur-like appearance...

"...Ah, Kangaskhan?"

Chapter 197 Parental Love

"Ah, Kangaskhan?"

Upon seeing his father's second Pokémon, Rowe was momentarily stunned...

Kangaskhan, a Pokémon designed in the first generation, can be considered a classic design. Like Chansey, it is a female-only Pokémon; in other words, there are no male Kangaskhan.
