Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 414 We don't need those items for MEGA evolution! (Seeking monthly votes)

The fans were dumbfounded when they saw the Gyarados being tied up in a playful act. The main course was something inappropriate for children. Come to think of it, this kind of thing seemed familiar... Someone did it in the Junior Cup, right?

"Hehe, more than the deliciousness of the food, I prefer the kind that brings surprises!"

Following Zhimi's speaking style, Mingyou commented with a smile that it was precisely because the opponent this time was the Elite Four, which mainly used the Water type, that Snivy volunteered to do so, and he recreated his classic operation from the Junior Cup. After all, it doesn't say that Pokémon can't hold an Everstone, right?

The evolved Serperior doesn't change much in personality. It tightly coils its body around the Pokémon, and from a distance, it looks like a large blue and green snake, intertwining and wrestling in the air.

Being brought so close, Zhimi could only admit defeat. The opponent's tactics were clearly in accordance with the rules, but no normal person could ever predict that he was an opponent with both strength and unpredictability!

"Let's end this with a storm!"

"Let the storm rage even harder!"

Mingyou picked up where Zhimi left off, laughing and shouting.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gyarados danced in the air, instantly creating a strong storm around it and releasing many white, arc-shaped wind blades.

At that moment, Serperior's glossy scales glowed with green light, forming an incredibly powerful storm. Sharp blades swept in the wind, accelerating and spinning along with Gyarados's Storm, instantly expanding to cover the entire area!

"Shouldn't we be colliding against the wind?!"

For the first time, Zhimi really didn't understand the opponent's operation. The two storms that were tailwind-like would not cancel each other out. Instead, their energy would merge together to form a more powerful offensive that would be greater than the sum of its parts (1+1>2)... Could it be that the opponent wanted to end the game in a draw?

At that moment, the storm suddenly subsided, and a figure fell heavily from the sky as if it had been drained dry. Gyarados was unable to battle, while Serperior beside it showed disdain and shook its head slightly. The Pokémon of the Elite Four... are just so-so.

Mingyou watched as Zhimi stood bewildered in the wind. The other party's guess was indeed correct, but that was the general situation. Serperior had already injected Leech Seed when it entangled Gyarados, which was a more exciting double play. At that time, Zhimi was stunned by the evolution of Snivy. Even a brief moment of distraction can be fatal in a battle.

Neither Pokémon could break free from the storm. With Leech Seed absorbing its energy, how could the already injured Gyarados possibly outlast Serperior? It had already guessed that its opponent would use Hurricane. From the moment the storm formed, Serperior had already won.

This is the application of tactics. If it's difficult to deal with the Pokémon, then start by dealing with the Trainer. Always remember, in Pokémon battles, your opponent is not only the Pokémon, but also the opponent's Trainer!

Zmy was really screwed over. Even after he retrieved his Gyarados, he still didn't understand how he lost. He was already preparing to review the game after it was over.

Seeing him recall Gyarados, Naruto also recalled Serperior. Although he could continue fighting in his current state, he had other things to confirm, and also... It can only be said that he is indeed worthy of being one of the Elite Four, as he actually managed to get him to bring out a second Pokémon!

However, this time, Zhimi guessed what he wanted to do, and even at the World Championships, he was able to taste his hidden menu!

"Let's go then!"

Zhimi threw out a Poké Ball, a red light flashed, and a very strong Blastoise appeared on the field, waving its arms and laughing. On its head was a headdress inlaid with an evolution stone.

Meanwhile, on Mingyou's side...

"Leo!"

Lucario stood sideways, calmly watching his opponent ahead, feeling an irrepressible excitement. He had thought he wouldn't have a role this time, but unexpectedly, he got a chance to appear this morning.

Originally, Mingyou planned to have Qing Teng She and Peng Peng compete against each other. They had been in the Super Ball level for three months, and Peng Peng had followed them everywhere, but had never participated in a single match.

Having finally met the Elite Four, he wanted Ponpo to also have a chance to perform, but in order to battle against Mega Evolved Pokémon, he had to make a difficult choice, which led to his apology to Ponpo last night. Then this morning, he went to the Pokémon Center and had Xiaozhao deliver Lucario's Poké Ball to him.

"Mmm~"

Come on!

Ponpo was cheering for Mingyou, and Lucario turned around and smiled, nodding slightly. Of course, he had to accept the other person's share too!

"Um?"

Zimi typed a question mark. He didn't find the evolution stone on Lucario. Could it be that the other party wasn't going to have a Mega Evolution battle?

Even though I didn't understand it, I can't afford to lose again!

Battle is imminent.

Blastoise launched the first attack, swaying its body and firing water cannons continuously from the cannon on its back. Lucario made no attempt to dodge, instead bringing its hands together, pulling out a blue bone club, and swinging it to deflect all the incoming water cannons.

Seeing this, Zhimi became even more excited. The strength that this Lucario showed was probably comparable to his own Blastoise. Choosing to fight head-on required a lot of strength!

"Aren't you going to MEGA evolve yet?"

Mingyou asked with a smile.

At that instant, Blastoise retracted its limbs and used Headbutt to ram forward. Lucario quickly dropped its Bone Club and stretched out its hands to block, but was still pushed back several steps by the impact.

But Blastoise suddenly burst out of its shell at that moment, greatly enhancing its abilities. It clenched its outstretched claws and swung them forcefully, sending Lucario flying.

Zhimi then smiled and responded to the question, placing his hand on his tie, saying, "Since you're so eager to see me, as your host, I'll naturally prepare the main course for you, my distinguished guest!"

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes, his fingers lightly touching the Key Stone, resonating with the Evolution Stone on Blastoise's head, causing them to burst into dazzling light. Then, his eyes lit up, and he shouted with a smile, "This is an evolution beyond evolution, Mega Evolution!"

"Gah!"

The moment the Key Stone and Evolution Stone connected to form a bond, Blastoise's body began to change. A small shell grew on each arm, and each shell contained a water cannon.

Meanwhile, the two cannons on its back transformed into a giant cannon, its body made its limbs grow thicker, its eyes turned red, pointed tips grew from its chin, and there was a bulge on its forehead. Perhaps the giant cannon on its back was heavier, forcing it to stand with its legs bent.

"Bang~"

What a huge turtle!

Talebagos peeked out from his backpack.

Mingyou's lips curled up slightly, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart of wanting to defeat the opponent together with Lucario. He could feel that Lucario had the same idea as him at this moment.

"Let's fight!"

Shimi waved and shouted, full of confidence in his ace fighter. Since gaining the power of Mega Evolution, Blastoise has only lost once, and the person who defeated him was the champion of the Kalos League.

Upon hearing the command, Blastoise simultaneously aimed its three cannons forward, unleashing a powerful burst of water that would surely inflict severe damage if it hit its target.

But Mingyou remained completely calm, keeping in sync with Lucario and accepting its aura. No more verbal commands were needed; both of them had only one thought in mind: to use all their strength to defeat the powerful opponent before them!

Faced with the incoming water cannon, Lucario suddenly unleashed a burst of intense red flames, blasting away the rapidly approaching water cannon.

"What!?"

Zhimi stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

Lucario closed its eyes tightly, slightly raised its hands, and its body began to change under the aura... This is Mega Evolution, but why is it like this?

Shimi couldn't understand, but at that moment, Naruto and Lucario simultaneously opened their eyes, revealing their red eyes, and shouted with a smile, "Because Lucario and I don't need Key Stones or evolution!"

"How is this possible!"

"But didn't that happen!"

Mingyou finally understood why she kept failing during training: no matter how seriously she trained, it was impossible to maintain perfect focus when she was tense and excited.

If we face a formidable enemy like this, share a common goal, and work together to defeat them without any other ulterior motives, then we can succeed!

"Leo!"

The moment Lucario opened its eyes, the aura it unleashed even intimidated Blastoise on the other side. They were both Mega Evolutions, but this increase in power... were you cheating?

The answer is that by relying on one's own abilities, rather than on external objects like evolution stones to stimulate potential, one can achieve a greater potential for improvement.

"Let's go!"

"Leo!"

Lucario pushed off the ground with both legs and appeared in front of Blastoise in the blink of an eye.

It was only then that Zhimi finally reacted. Fortunately, he managed to get Blastoise to retract into its shell and take the punch with its hard shell. Blastoise was then sent flying backward, almost flying out of the arena. Fortunately, it managed to extend its hind legs in time and stop on the ground. But before it could regain its footing, the second wave of attacks arrived.

"Leo!"

Lucario raised a red blast missile formed from its two hands, aimed at Blastoise's head which hadn't yet emerged, and slammed it down like a dunk.

Zhimi was completely thrown off balance by the sudden attack, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Spinning at high speed!"

"Hit it with your body!"

Mingyou went even further, making Lucario use its physical body to intercept Blastoise, which was trying to create distance. While he would also experience some pain in the synchronized state, this only made the two of them more excited.

Lucario grabbed Blastoise, but in that instant, the cannon on Blastoise's back suddenly extended, aimed at the ground, and fired a water cannon to propel itself into the air.

Blastoise finally managed to create some distance from its opponent. It used the same trick again, but this time it only retracted its hind legs and aimed its forelimbs, which were equipped with cannons, at the rear to spray water as propulsion. It then used its head to charge at Lucario at full speed and used Headbutt!

However, the same move had no effect on Lucario. It once again blocked Blastoise with its paw, and just as the opponent was about to use Shell Smash to launch a sneak attack, it suddenly raised its right leg.

Blastoise was completely caught off guard when its opponent attacked with a leg. Caught off guard, it was kicked into the air by a powerful knee strike.

"What kind of reaction speed and power is this... Even if they used waveguides, it shouldn't be like this..."

Zhimi was stunned. While using both hands to block the rocket headbutt, he still had the strength to kick upwards. He didn't lose in terms of technique, but lost in terms of strength.

The instant after kicking Blastoise away, Lucario leaped up, raised his left leg, then concentrated Aura on his right foot and kicked Blastoise with all his might as it fell!

Its power was so great that even the surrounding air emitted puffs of red flames, forming a small wave guide storm that passed through Blastoise's body and landed smoothly at the edge of the battlefield.

Blastoise's body slammed into the outer wall of the arena with a loud thud, completely losing consciousness. After reverting to Mega Evolution, it fell to the ground...

"Take it down!"

Naruto and Lucario, after their Mega Evolution was deactivated, both wore the same smiling expression and looked ahead.

Battle over!

The winner of the qualifying round is Mingyou!
