Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Outside the players' lounge, the first match has already begun.

Because Xia Chen's match was the second one, he took the elves outside to wait.

Hu Yang could defeat his opponent without much effort.

…………

As expected, Xia Chen had barely settled down when the first kill was achieved on the battlefield.

The one who gave up the first kill was naturally not Hu Yang, but the opponent's Shield Sword Monster.

Opposite the Shield Sword Monster, which lay on the ground in its shield form, a Gengar floated in mid-air, chuckling maliciously, its crimson eyes full of mockery.

This is none other than Hu Yang's ace Pokémon, Gengar.

Although Xia Chen had absolute confidence in Hu Yang's strength, he still couldn't help but gasp when he saw the Shield Sword Monster in its shield form fall to the ground under the continuous bombardment of Shadow Balls.

This is a Shielded Sword Monster that has raised the King's Shield...

He was literally killed by a barrage of Shadow Orbs?

Gengar Emperor, terrifying indeed...

The next two battles were no surprises either. Faced with Gengar's seemingly inexhaustible energy, Excadrill and Mimikyu had nowhere to hide.

Whether hiding underground or lurking in the shadows, Gengar's elusive and ghostly figure always manages to find its opponent.

In just ten minutes, a 3v3 match had already ended.

Hu Yang casually recalled Gengar, as if he hadn't just accomplished a one-versus-three victory.

Xia Chen and Xianbu exchanged a silent glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

Thank goodness we didn't have to face this guy. This Gengar is probably close to being an elite-level two-star...

…………

The second round of the competition started at 4 o'clock, but by 4:15, it was Xia Chen's turn to take the stage.

Although it was indeed a bit unexpected, Xia Chen was definitely not at a loss.

After all, the tactical analysis and arrangements of the past two hours were not wasted.

Although it was destined to be a tough match, Xia Chen still stepped onto the battlefield with full confidence.

Cynthia told him that confidence is one of the most valuable qualities a trainer can possess.

He has always believed this.

Clutching Sylveon's Poké Ball tightly, Xia Chen and Yin Yuan stood facing each other on the battle field, waiting for the battle to begin.

The spectators on the sidelines also understood that this match might be the most unpredictable one in terms of outcome among today's games.

Subconsciously adjusting their breathing, they calmed themselves and waited for the whistle to sound, signaling the start of the match.

Shortly after, the whistle blew.

Two Poké Balls were then thrown out.

"Come out, Jolteon!"

"I choose you, Senbu!"

Chapter 220 Amaze them, Gardevoir! (1 words, please vote!)

Two Poké Balls, one orange and one pink, traced a precise arc in the air.

A flash of white light, and the starting Pokémon of both sides enter the arena.

The two Pokémon are Jolteon, with sharp spikes like lightning, and Sylveon, with its elegant and ethereal appearance.

Jolteon vs. Sylveon!

Judging from the expressions of the two trainers and the reactions of the audience, this was the start that almost everyone had expected.

However, guessing the beginning doesn't mean they can guess the process and the ending.

The audience held their breath and focused intently, watching this civil war within the Ibrahimovic family to see who would emerge victorious.

The moment the elf landed, two commands rang out almost simultaneously on the battlefield.

"Rayle, use Quick Attack to accelerate!"

"Xenbu, High Speed ​​Star!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two Eevee immediately responded to the trainer's command.

But before Jolteon could even stand properly after leaving its Poké Ball, its bright yellow body was already enveloped in a dazzling white light.

The next instant, this petite figure, just like the lightning in her name, transformed into a streak of white light and vanished from the spot.

From the start to acceleration to the top, the entire process took less than a second.

Many spectators outside the venue were amazed by what they saw.

Such a starting speed is probably unmatched even by the world's best sports cars.

Indeed, an energy-driven engine is the best engine in the world.

Meanwhile, Sylveon, on the other side, was naturally not idle either.

If it comes down to speed, even if Sylveon's strength increases significantly, it still wouldn't be a match for Jolteon.

When it comes to the speed of releasing moves, Sylvanas has never lost to anyone in the same level except for Milotic.

Just before Rayquaza's Flash could be activated, the energy of High Speed ​​Star had already gathered in front of Sylveon.

Naturally, this also means that this string of energy projectiles with special properties has firmly locked onto Rayquaza, its prey.

To the audience's surprise, as Rayquaza transformed into a ball of lightning and sped away, a string of pink, star-shaped tails clung to her like a persistent, unsettling wound.

…………

In the stands, Yu Chaohua, watching the game, nodded approvingly at the scene.

Using high-speed stars to track and locate Rayquaza, whose speed far exceeds that of itself...?

That's a good idea.

If it were the original Xianbu, her first reaction would probably be to use her movement skills to dodge the opponent's attack, right?

This kind of fighting style, which is like dancing on a knife's edge, is certainly very entertaining, but it is also very risky.

Using the tracking properties of high-speed stars is not only more reliable, but can also better help Sylveon dodge Jolteon's subsequent attacks.

Two months of intensive training with Cynthia was incredibly effective; even Sylveon underwent a fundamental change...

On the battlefield.

Yin Yuan, as expected of the top trainer at Shanghai University, although her reaction was not as fast as Yu Chaohua's, she quickly discovered the purpose of Sylveon's high-speed star.

She frowned slightly, and quickly made a decision.

"Rayle, charge! Electromagnetic Wave!"

Given Jolteon's physical attack power, this lightning bolt wasn't meant to deal damage; rather, it served a similar purpose as high-speed movement.

Although the acceleration lasts as long as high-speed movement, the burst speed of acceleration is much faster.

The Flash of Light is almost over. As long as the electromagnetic waves hit the celestial cloth and the tactical effect is achieved, the Flash of Light will be considered a success.

As for Swift... it's a move whose power isn't particularly high to begin with. Even with Sylveon's Fairy Skin buff, it's not much of a threat to Jolteon, whose Special Defense and bulk are quite high. It can easily take a whole bunch of hits.

Having complete faith in its trainer, Jolteon ignored the Swift behind it after hearing the command and focused on exhausting the last of Quick Attack's energy, pushing its speed to the limit.

With its second acceleration, Rayquaza couldn't even catch up with High Speed ​​Star. After circling the arena halfway, leaving behind the string of energy projectiles flashing pink light, it headed straight for Sylveon.

Within the white light, there seemed to be tiny, bright yellow electric currents flickering.

It is none other than the most disgusting control move in the Electric type: Electromagnetic Wave!

…………

Electromagnetic Wave is a non-damaging status move, but it is a move that is deeply hated by all Pokémon except Ground-type Pokémon.

The reason is that this is the only move among all that can paralyze the opponent 100% of the time if it hits.

Once paralyzed, a Pokémon's speed is nearly halved, and there is a significant chance that it will become unable to move when using a move.

For Sylvanas, this thing is much more disgusting than negative status effects like burns.

Instead of condensing the electromagnetic waves into a small ball and launching them, Raybee covered her body with a weak electric current during her sprint.

Before long, her entire body became a walking electromagnetic wave.

Xia Chen, who had keenly noticed this, frowned slightly and stopped giving the order for Xianbu to prepare to dodge.

Clearly, Jolteon intends to take advantage of Electric-type Pokémon's immunity to electromagnetic waves, imbue itself with energy, and transform its body into a self-propelled electromagnetic wave. Then, relying on the extreme speed of Quick Attack, it aims to ensure that the electromagnetic wave will hit its target!

The difference between geniuses and mediocre people lies not only in strength, but also in the flexible application of techniques and the accurate judgment of the situation on the field.

Yin Yuan and her Reibu perfectly illustrate this point.

Tsk, this is going to be difficult...

Xia Chen frowned and immediately made a judgment: given the speed difference between the two Eevee, Sylveon would have no chance of dodging this electromagnetic wave.

It's too late to use the Mystic Guardian now.

Therefore, all I can do is cut my losses.

"Xenbu, a deafening roar!"

The lightning flash was too fast, and Xia Chen couldn't guarantee the accuracy of the Moon Power, so he opted for a slightly weaker but still unavoidable loud noise.

Unless, of course, its speed can exceed the speed of sound.

Even though Jolteon is incredibly fast, it's still just an elite-level Pokémon, far from reaching the speed of sound.

When she chose to transform into a suicide truck and charge at Senbu, the outcome was already predetermined.

The immense sound carried such energy that it even created pinkish sound waves in the air, causing the audience on the battlefield to cover their ears as the sound waves spread rapidly through the air.

The terrifying shockwave instantly struck Jolteon, who had just brushed past Sylveon.

If the image were to freeze at this moment, viewers would see that Ray's face is undergoing a shocking, visible contortion.
