Pokémon from Galar

This Fiery Dragon looks like it's been trained to the level of a Pokémon that can be used in the final elimination rounds. While it certainly won't be considered a mainstay of Yaro, it's probably a second-tier Pokémon.

“…Then I’ll change too.”

We have no choice but to replace her; leaving Sis-chan on the field will only result in her getting beaten up.

After retrieving the silk sauce, Mary tossed it into the air, and the gigantic Balu appeared on the field.

Palmo has a clear advantage in terms of stats against Fennekin, as both Dragon-type Pokémon deal exceptional damage. Frankly, their defensive capabilities are roughly equal, but Palmo's speed is significantly higher.

"Roar—! (Finally, it's my turn!)"

As soon as he appeared, Balu roared, looking quite excited.

Seeing the imposing presence of Dorombalto, Yalo pressed down on the brim of his hat with his left hand and shouted:

"Dragon Pulse!"

"Dodge the stealthy attack!"

Mary was startled by this move. She had considered using Parasitic Seed first, and she had also considered using Iron Wall first, but she did not expect that the first move would be launched.

Unfortunately, Mary didn't intend to fight head-on and directly had Baloo avoid the opponent's attack.

"Then let's build an iron wall."

Feng Milong was not going to let this opportunity slip by. He unleashed his Iron Wall technique in an instant, giving Bal and Marie no time to react. It seemed to be one of his signature moves that he had worked hard to perfect.

This is also where Marie's Pokémon are currently lacking. Palmo might be a little better, but Eevee's move proficiency is far behind those of these Gym Leaders.

"..."

The timing of the attack should still be left to Balu to control. Speaking up at this point would only alert the opponent and hand over the initiative to them.

call out--

Baru did not disappoint Mary either. Quite abruptly, he appeared from another dimension and rushed towards Fengmilong with lightning speed. Before the opponent could react at all, he successfully hit his opponent, and the powerful impact sent Fengmilong flying into the air.

"Dragon Pulse, continue the attack!"

Mary promptly gave the order to pursue, attempting to expand Balu's speed advantage from here. The defensive boost from Iron Wall was considerable, and continuing to use physical damage skills now might not be very effective.

The sneak attack just now has already proven this point.

"Dragon Pulse, strike back!"

"Roar—!! (Die!)"

"Squeak—! (You won't get away with this!!)"

Boom! Boom!

Fengmilong had no intention of using it as a punching bag, and Yalo clearly felt the same way. The advantage brought by size was sometimes so direct and unavoidable. At this moment, if they didn't use a suitable attack to deflect this dragon wave,

If the Pokémon were to defend against this type of move, even if the defense were successful, the Pokémon would only be knocked away further, giving the Dragapult a greater advantage.

Two massive torrents of energy collided in mid-air, creating a shockwave that swept across the entire area. Mary instinctively raised her hand to shield herself, but then immediately restrained herself.

At times like these, you can't afford to give up your own perspective.

Yaro's judgment was timely. Even though the shockwave from the collision of the two Dragon Waves was still quite large, it was still much better than the impact of being hit head-on by a special move.

"A flash of lightning, continue the attack!"

With ranged attacks proving ineffective, Mary abandoned her previous plan and resumed her offensive, determined to completely disrupt her opponent's rhythm.

Yalo naturally understood Mari's plan, since she had no need to hide her intentions; Dorombalut's speed was an unbeatable advantage.

It's obvious that Fengmilong can't keep up. The two are clearly evenly matched in terms of training, but Fengmilong is at a complete disadvantage in terms of raw conditions and is destined to be unable to match the speed of its opponent.

However, it wasn't without a chance. Ignoring his straw hat being blown away, Yalo loudly issued his command the same time Mary spoke:

"Meteor shower!"

"Squeak—!! (I understand!)"

Before it even landed, the Fenrir understood Yaro's plan upon hearing the trainer's voice: withstand a physical attack and then defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!

The wind pressure had no effect on Balu, and having already understood Marie's intentions, Balu moved almost the instant Marie spoke, his body enveloped in white light, and vanished from his spot in an instant.

"Roar—!! (Don't think that's the end of it!)"

In the instant of approach, Balu raised his already formed dragon claw and swung it fiercely at the still-untouched Fonmi Dragon.

At this moment, Fengmilong raised its head, its usually droopy eyes fixed intently on Balu's face. Dragon-type energy began to surge wildly around Fengmilong.

"Squeak—!! (I'm returning this sentence to you verbatim!!)"

Tear--!

Having been struck squarely by Baloo's dragon claw, the Fonmi Dragon was knocked to the ground and slid further into the mud by the remaining force. Its expression was ferocious, its upward-looking eyes seeing not only the Doron Baloo above it, but also...

They also saw a meteor shower that had completely coalesced above, carrying astonishing energy and kinetic power, crashing down below.

This round of attack and defense happened so fast that Mary didn't even have time to give specific instructions.

"Get out of the way!!"

The meteor shower was falling with incredible speed and force. Marie wasn't even sure if Balu had heard her instructions, and after she finished speaking, she watched helplessly as the meteor shower crashed into the arena.

Boom boom boom—!!!

An even more terrifying shockwave, carrying billowing dust and chaotic energy flows, swept wildly across the arena, completely obscuring the figures of the two Pokémon.

The aftershocks of the meteor shower even triggered the Dynamax Bracer's protective shield, causing a crimson light screen to pop up, shielding Marnie from the energy flow and the billowing dust.

P.S.: Fengmi Dragon: The body structure of Fengmi Dragon is similar to that of a turtle. Its high-raised back is covered with woven fruit lace, and the top of its back still retains the eyelids from its fruit-eating worm stage. However, the part of its head that hangs down like an ear is actually its real eye.

This Pokémon is also the evolved form of Berrybug, but I think it looks like an old man, somewhat similar to the previous generation's Dratini. Its Special Attack is passable, but its Speed ​​is very slow.

Chapter 52 The battle ended before Dynamaxing was even possible.

In the audience,

Yuri stared blankly at the venue, which was completely covered by smoke and dust. The cheers of the audience seemed to be separated by some kind of barrier, and they became unclear to Yuri.

In the battle just now, even with Yuri's eyesight, it became very difficult for her to catch a glimpse of Baloo, but Marie was able to give accurate instructions, and Gym Leader Alo was also able to respond in time.

Taking a deep breath, Yuri once again realized the gap between herself and Mari. If it weren't for the protective shield covering the entire area, Yuri estimated that she would have been in a very bad state from the aftermath of the battle.

"...Turns out I'm not qualified at all."

Looking down at Eevee, who was perched on her lap and staring intently at the field, Yuri suddenly laughed again...

I almost forgot, this little guy I just tamed is a combative guy who loves to battle.

"Ibrahimovic, we need to work even harder!"

"Buyi!!"

Eevee twitched its ears and called out without turning its head, whether it was annoyed by Yuri's noise or in agreement with her words was unclear.

……

On the field,

Mary stared nervously at the smoke and dust that showed no signs of dissipating. She wished she had superpowers right now so she could check on the Pokémon's status immediately, but now she could only wait for what was happening in the arena.

suddenly,

"Roar—!!! (Marie! Continue!!)"

A deafening roar echoed from the center of the arena. At the same time, wave after wave of dragon-type energy began to converge wildly towards the center of the battlefield, even breaking through the still-lingering dust and revealing a vague figure!

Dragon Dance!

Marie's pupils contracted slightly. The change in the center of the arena was something Marie hadn't expected. Balu had deliberately given up his advantage of concealment and was conveying his intentions to Marie through the dragon dance and that roar.

Before she could even be happy for Balu, Mari knew that Balu had a way of locking onto his opponent and believed that Balu hadn't revealed his location without a reason.

"Dragon Pulse!!"

"Dragon Pulse! Throw it back at him!!"

Like Marie, Yaro reacted the instant Balu revealed himself, both using Dragon Pulse, as if in that instant the situation had returned to what it was at the beginning.

But this time... it's a little different.

"squeak--!!!"

Feng Milong, hidden in the smoke and dust, unleashed his prepared attack the instant he heard the sound, targeting the arrogant figure.

boom--!!

The violent energy surge struck the shadow in mid-air in an instant, tearing it to shreds. Then, undiminished in power, it slammed into the energy shield at the edge of the arena.

"Squeak—?! (Fake?!)"

"Oh no! Hold the line! Fengmilong!"

Yaro and Fonmi Dragon reacted quickly, noticing something was wrong the moment their Stand was torn apart. Unfortunately, Balu, who had already located Fonmi Dragon's position using a lock-on move, was not about to let this opportunity slip by.

"Roar—!! (Get out of here, you little bug!!)"

Boom boom boom—!!!

"squeak--!!!"

As if a sudden surge of dragon energy had appeared, carrying an aura that seemed capable of piercing through space, it precisely struck the still-grounded Fume Dragon, ravaging the arena once again.

Amidst explosions and screams, thick smoke billowed up again from the stadium.

Mari wasn't sure if Feng Milong's defense had been successful, since Balu had seized the perfect moment, launching a surprise attack the instant his opponent finished releasing Dragon Pulse.

Logically speaking, switching from Dragon Pulse to Protect, or even a move of a different type, in that instant is unrealistic.

However, there are always exceptions, especially for creatures like Pokémon. All sorts of inexplicable things and miracles are not uncommon, and anything is possible until Marie can confirm it.

"Baru, stay alert!"

"Hoo—(I got it!)"

But now all Mari can do is wait... After all, if Feng Milong has already lost its ability to fight, and Mari still lets Balu use his ultimate move to attack, then it might really be murder.

It's just a gym battle. Even if we lose this opportunity, given Pazu's condition, he can just fight back.

Meanwhile, Marie's opponent, Gym Battle Yaro, smiled from a hidden spot after hearing Marie's command. He's a gentle yet powerful rookie trainer.
