Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

But as the dust settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Blaziken managed to block the Magic Flash attack by using Foresight, but even so, it was still sent flying a great distance.

"It's alright, this is fine too. Zhong Mingyi still has the advantage."

Lin Xuan muttered to herself, but she still looked nervous.

The flames around Blaziken rose upwards for a moment—Accelerate ability activated!

Blaziken's speed isn't actually that fast, with a base speed stat of only 80; its strength lies in its Speed ​​Boost ability.

After the Speed ​​Boost ability is activated, Blaziken should at least be faster than this Magearna, right?

Maybe?

Blaziken didn't go forward this time. Instead, it started circling Magearna, seemingly trying to buy time and prevent Magearna from finding its position quickly, while also activating its Speed ​​Boost ability repeatedly.

But that was impossible. Magiana's body moved swiftly, faster than Blaziken!

"So fast!"

Zhong Mingyi couldn't help but say, "According to the records, Magearna shouldn't be a very fast Pokémon, right?"

However, it is currently showing a slight speed increase compared to Blaziken after one acceleration.

It can only be said that there is indeed a big difference in the strength of the two Pokémon.

However, since the method has already been used before, it is virtually impossible to succeed if used again now.

Zhong Mingyi couldn't possibly gamble his chances of winning on a skill that had a very low probability of success.

So the Blaziken is surrounded by flames again—Flare Charge!

No matter what, let's charge forward first!

Flame Charge and Magearna's Flash Magic collided, sending Blaziken flying once again.

But—the acceleration feature activates again!

After this acceleration, even Magearna couldn't keep up with Blaziken in terms of speed.

Unfortunately, Magearna is not good at speed, which happens to be Blaziken's strongest area.

Irene thought to herself, she must have hoped for a quick victory.

However, Blaziken is not only type-advantageous against Magearna, but also somewhat advantageous in terms of fighting style.

If it weren't for the huge difference in strength, we might not have been able to win.

Of course, this is also related to Zhong Mingyi's current command. If a different trainer were to come, they might not be able to achieve the same level of performance.

After Blaziken reached a speed that surpassed Magearna's, it didn't continue attacking but instead used—Self-Boost!

This is going to be...

Irene was only stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood the tactics that Zhong Mingyi and the others wanted to use.

After all, Blaziken is best suited for martial arts, and logically, if you want to launch a strong attack, you should definitely use Swords Dance.

But it uses self-motivation.

Blaziken is a dual-wielding Pokémon, but using a move like Self-Improvement in this situation is clearly unwise.

But the opponent is Zhong Mingyi, who is unlikely to make such a low-level judgment, so only one possibility remains—

Blaziken's power-up wasn't for itself, but for Slowking!

That's right, this is the tactic that Lin Xuan and Zhong Ming decided on before. It's simple but very effective.

That means quickly strengthening Blaziken and transferring all its ability upgrades to Slowking.

The main reason is that Slowking's strength is indeed inferior to Magearna's, but Zhong Mingyi cannot simply use Blaziken and the others to wear down Magearna's stamina.

Otherwise, once the Soul Heart ability is activated, Slowking would have even less of a chance to win.

Therefore, the simplest and most effective tactic is still this.

The only downside is that Blaziken can't learn Nasty Plot, otherwise it would definitely be more suitable to use Nasty Plot.

After seeing this, Irene understood what Zhong Mingyi wanted to do, so she also began to strengthen herself.

That is to sit down and begin meditating.

If we're talking about buffing, Blaziken's buffing efficiency is definitely not as good as Magearna's.

This guy's meditation effect is really high, especially after he knew that the opponent next was a Slowking.

However, Zhong Mingyi had anticipated this situation long ago, so the best solution was—even if I can't strengthen you, you shouldn't try to strengthen yourself either!

When Blaziken saw that the creature in front of it was assuming a meditative posture, it immediately abandoned its self-motivation and charged at it.

He then used Flame Charge.

Even Magearna wouldn't dare to take a high-power STAB move from Blaziken without considering type advantage.

Not to mention that Blaziken had just been upgraded, so its power is considerable.

This makes things simple: just use Blaziken's stamina to wear down Magearna.

The final result was not bad; Blaziken used Self-Motivation twice before it was almost exhausted.

And then comes the passing of the baton!

Zhong Mingyi did not seek another opportunity for self-motivation.

Because Blaziken's stamina was already low at this point, if it got hit a couple more times, it might not be able to hold on.

"Stop her!"

Because if Blaziken successfully uses Baton Pass, not only will the entire stat boost be transferred to Slowking, but even Magearna herself won't benefit from the boost, and her Soul Heart ability won't activate.

This would be the biggest loss for them, so even if the chances of success are slim, they still have to try to stop it.

Even if they fail, there will be no loss, but if they succeed—Zhong Mingyi and his team's plans will be completely ruined.

Magiana got serious this time and used the Magic Shining skill again.

However, this time its power is much greater than before.

But the key point is—this time, Blaziken can't dodge!

If you dodge, the follow-up skill will definitely be interrupted, and you will then face Magiana's relentless pursuit. At that point, it will be virtually impossible to find another opportunity.

So the opportunity—only comes once!

Blaziken, seeing the oncoming magical flash, showed a determined look in its eyes. Without flinching, it stood its ground to take the attack head-on, while the baton charge continued—

boom!

"This magically dazzling attack—it's probably even stronger than Eevee's Rainbow Rising Nuclear Bomb!"

In terms of sheer destructive power, that's certainly true. However, Blaziken isn't without potential, because Lin Xuan noticed a problem with this Magearna—

It seems they haven't had much training; although they are very strong, they can't use their skills perfectly.

If this guy can really use his abilities perfectly, he might actually be able to go toe-to-toe with legendary Pokémon.

But at that time, Zhong Mingyi had absolutely no chance.

But now—there's still a chance!

The magical attacks weren't concentrated on a single point, but rather quite dispersed, so—

Blaziken transformed into a beam of light and returned to Zhong Mingyi's Poké Ball, but at the same time, another beam of light from its body entered Zhong Mingyi's Slowking Poké Ball.

Successful baton transfer!

Slowking appeared on the battlefield instantly, inheriting Blaziken's previously enhanced Speed, Strength, and Special Attack.

Slowking could sense that he was now at his peak!

Even if the Pokémon on the other side is Magearna, it can still put up a fight!

"Damn it, can't they even stop it like this?"

Irene knew the problem with Magiana, but there was nothing she could do; she had only subdued Magiana for a very short time.

If she could have another six months to train—Magnera should be able to truly become invincible among legendary Pokémon.

Chapter 615 Victory or Loss

This was probably due to Lin Xuan and his group's good luck. If the time had been pushed back even further, they might not have been a match for this Magiana at all.

Even if it's small, it's still just a regular Pokémon. Even with all its previous experiences, it's still just a regular Pokémon.

For an ordinary Pokémon to reach legendary-level combat power—it's not impossible, but extremely difficult.

Even for a Pokémon like Zapdos, reaching the legendary rank is more difficult than for ordinary Pokémon, but still easier. This might be the "bloodline theory" in the Pokémon world.

Just like the Magiana in front of us, it's much easier for them to reach the legendary level than the smaller ones.

Given more time, this Pokémon could indeed reach legendary status.

The moment Slowking appeared, it inherited all of Blaziken's power.

A comprehensive boost to speed, strength, and special attack.
