Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 561 This is my poison-type trump card! Because it's powerful!

"Using Espeon against Crobat? While it's true that it's type-advantageous, is it really a good idea?"

Seeing this, Xiao Huang tilted its head in confusion. It has super-powerful anti-poison ability, so from an attribute perspective, it is advantageous.

The key issue is that Espeon cannot fly. Although it can float using its psychic powers, it is not true flight.

Moreover, their opponent is a Crobat, which flies incredibly fast.

If your special move misses, it won't matter if it's a double or even quadruple advantage.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If we're talking about a character in Red's team that's really good at dealing with Crobat, it's probably only Pikachu."

"The Roaring Moon and the Tornado Cloud could fight back, but they have lost their ability to fight now."

+

Qinglu shrugged. He was quite familiar with the Crimson team, so he really did know.

Although Pikachu cannot fly, it is very fast, agile, and quick-witted, and its electric nature also makes it unable to fly.

Roaring Moon is also a match for Tornado. As for Tornado being quickly defeated by Crobat, the main reason is that Tornado was in very poor condition.

Moreover, Red was fighting Gushin's Crobat for the first time and was unaware that his Crobat was so fast and had such excellent flying skills.

With mental preparation, it's still possible to fight, but Tornado Cloud no longer has a chance.

"Actually, it's not that bad. The attributes are an advantage. It all depends on how Crimson responds," Sakaki said with a low laugh.

On the field.

"Eevee!"

Red didn't stop there. Instead, he took out the black Crystal Orb and threw it at Espeon. The Crystal Orb shone, and pieces of crystal-like substance completely enveloped Espeon.

With a crisp cracking sound, the powerful Espeon emerged from within.

"Crossbat, Storm!"

Guxin pondered for a moment, then gave the order to the cross-bat.

He was going to test the strength of this Espeon's attack.

The cross-bat flapped its four wings rapidly, a strong wind began to circulate, and a swift storm swept down.

A flying-type storm attack!

"Strong mental focus!"

Red didn't hesitate to let Espeon hit back.

Espeon sat gracefully, its eyes shining with a deep blue light, and a powerful wave of colorful psychic energy rippled out like a wave.

The storm and the powerful mental force collided violently in mid-air, creating a powerful shockwave that spread outwards as the two attacks clashed wildly.

But soon, the powerful mental force gradually suppressed the storm's attack.

"Special attacks are indeed very powerful."

Gu Xin wasn't too surprised by this and chuckled.

Crobat is extremely fast, but its special attack is only average. Even with Nasty Plot boosted by two levels, it is still no match for Espeon in terms of special attack.

As the Crossbat suddenly intensified the storm, with a deafening boom, the storm and the powerful mental energy exploded together.

A strong wind howled and thick smoke and dust spread.

"A spiritual space!"

Crimson immediately gave the order.

The blue light in Espeon's eyes shone again, and its spiritual power began to permeate.

"A flash of lightning!"

A purple figure flashed down like lightning, crashing hard into Espeon, causing it to groan and stagger backward.

However, the mental field remained uninterrupted, and colorful light permeated the entire battlefield.

Psychic Terrain is now active. Under Psychic Terrain, Pokémon on the ground are unaffected by priority attacks, and the power of Psychic-type moves increases!

"Crush it!"

Guxin immediately ordered the crossbats to give chase.

The Crobat opened its large mouth and lunged to bite at Espeon's head.

"Extensive area combat power!"

But Red wasn't scared at all. Although Espeon's physical defense is average, it's not like it can't withstand a single Crunch.

In the realm of mental warfare, the power of wide-area combat is extremely formidable!

Espeon looked at Crobat, a powerful psychic force continuously condensing and expanding in front of it.

"Get out of the way!" Guxin was certainly not stupid.

According to the game's calculation method, under Psychic Terrain, Wide-Range Power will be increased by an additional 50%. More importantly, Psychic Terrain increases the power of Psychic-type moves by 30%, and Wide-Range Power is calculated separately!

The crossbat stopped biting and immediately dodged to the side.

The next moment, a powerful shockwave swept across the entire area, and the materialized superpowers seemed to distort the air itself. There was no doubt that this attack was extremely powerful in terms of its wide-area destructive force.

However, it was of no use, because the Crobat dodged it.

"Cross-shaped Poisoned Blade!"

However, Crobat's attack did not end there. It quickly flew to the side of Espeon, crossed its two wings, and a deep purple poison light shone.

A cross-shaped poison blade shot through the air towards Espeon, arriving swiftly and accurately.

Espeon reacted and tried to dodge, but was still hit by the Poison Blade, letting out a painful cry and being knocked back several steps.

"The speed difference is still quite significant."

Crimson frowned slightly. The reason he couldn't dodge the cross-shaped poison blade attack was because the Cross Bat was too fast.

It can move to Espeon's side to launch an attack while dodging Wide Smash, and Espeon, which has just used Wide Smash, has no time to react.

"Eevee, Reflect!"

Red hesitated for a moment, then decided to test the characteristics of this Crossbat.

If it has the Pervade ability, then it won't matter, because the Pervade ability allows you to pass through moves like Reflect and Light Screen.

However, if it is mental energy, then the damage will be reduced by the reflective barrier.

Since my Espeon has the Magic Mirror ability, I don't need to worry about moves like Taunt preventing it from using status moves.

"Crush it!"

Gushin didn't hesitate to send the Crossbats to attack.

Crobat opened its black fangs and pounced on SunEevee.

The Reflector wall had appeared in front of the retreating Espeon, gradually covering its entire body.

Click!

Crunch bit down hard on Espeon, causing Espeon to let out a painful cry. The next moment, Reflect entered Espeon's body.

"Malicious pursuit!"

"Extensive area combat power!"

The Crobat's wings glowed with a black light, and it was about to swat at the Seidon.

A dense spiritual energy condensed in front of Espeon, causing the air to distort.

boom!

The wide-area attack suddenly erupted, but Crobat did not trade blows with Espeon. Instead, it chose to temporarily dodge, thus avoiding the wide-area attack.

"Morning light!"

Red immediately gave the order to Espeon, and was quite pleased, as the test had been successful!

This Crobat does not have the Penetrating ability!

A bright and beautiful morning light shone on Espeon, and the light began to gather inside Espeon.

"Crush it!"

Guxin raised an eyebrow as he watched Espeon begin using Morning Light; this was going to be a tough opponent.

Crobat pounced on Espeon again, but as its black healing fangs bit down, a semi-transparent wall appeared on Espeon's body.

The damage from Crunch was weakened by Reflect, and when it hit Espeon, Espeon only let out a cry of pain.

But the restorative effects of Dawnlight also began. Dawnlight completely entered Espeon's body, and Espeon's condition visibly improved.

"Things are looking up now. Crobat is helpless against Espeon."

Leon's eyes lit up. With Reflect on his side, Crobat's attacks on Espeon would no longer cause any serious damage.

Once the injury heals, Espeon can also use Morning Light to recover.

"This Magic Mirror status is crucial. If it weren't for Magic Mirror, given Gushin's battle style, Espeon would already be poisoned by now."

Dan Di chuckled and analyzed, "The Magic Mirror's characteristic, while seemingly useless, can indeed be quite awkward against opponents who prefer head-on confrontations."

But when it's useful, it's incredibly useful.

For example, right now, because of the Magic Mirror ability, Crobat's moves that could break the deadlock are no longer usable.

For example, provocation, or highly poisonous.

"Yeah, and the move Clear Fog wasn't inherited either, otherwise we could have used Clear Fog to blow away Espeon's Reflect." Xiaoyou agreed wholeheartedly.

But clearly, the Crobat did not inherit the ability to clear fog, but rather the ability to use lightning.

On the field.

"Eevee, foresee the future!" Red continued to command.

Now that he has recovered a lot, it's time to think about attacking.

"Come back, Crossbat."

Guxin decisively recalled the Crobat. Although the Crobat was very fast, its attack power was somewhat lacking.

Unfortunately, the other side was a magic mirror, which rendered the Crobat's poison useless.

"That's good, Espeon is very well used. So next up is this guy."

Gushin praised Crimson, then took out his fifth Poké Ball.

"Gengar!"

"Hehehe~!"

The gray-black Gengar landed in front of Gushin with an exaggerated and evil smile, sticking out its tongue at Espeon in a very funny manner.

Sun Eevee tilted its head slightly, looking aloof.

"Shiny Gengar—" The crimson eyes narrowed.

"Ah~ Actually, it should have been the last one to appear, because Gengar is the ace of my poison-type team. After all, this kid is really strong."

Gu Xin said with a smile.

"Hehehe~!" Shiny Gengar nodded with his hands on his hips in agreement, looking very proud.

"However, due to my personal reasons, I included another Pokémon in my Poison-type team, so Gengar can only be the fifth Pokémon to appear."

"Hehehehe—"

Shiny Gengar looked aggrieved and resentful, making Crimson's eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

This shiny Gengar probably has a lot on its mind.

But Guxin also stuffed in a non-poisonous one at the end? Crimson was a little curious about what he stuffed in.

"Are you curious to know what that Pokémon is?"

Guxin noticed the crimson look of curiosity.

Chi Hong nodded very honestly.

"Then you'll have to deal with Gengar first. Red is much stronger than Arbok and the others."

Gu Xin spoke with a smile.

"Do you know why I didn't use legendary poison-type characters like 'Enough to Make Dogs' as my trump card?"

"Because Gengar is stronger than them!"

"Gengar!"

Shiny Gengar grinned smugly and sinisterly, its Mega Evolution Stone shining in sync with the Key Stone in Guxin's hand.

Mega Evolution!

The light of evolution was brilliant but fleeting. The moment the light faded, the pale white Mega Gengar stared at Espeon with its terrifying black eyes.
