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

The misty fog condensed in almost an instant, and Milotic's mouth was already wide open on the water's surface.

Immediately, a strangely shaped water cannon swung left and right at high speed towards Super Sylvanas.

Unlike a straight cannon firing from its barrel, this water cannon's swaying motion makes it resemble a swift and powerful water dragon.

The dragon's posture did not reduce the speed of the water cannon in the slightest; on the contrary, it made it even faster. It was a wonderful move that combined elegance and speed!

Undoubtedly, according to the rules, such a move would deduct more points from the opponent.

How will the Fairy Makers respond?

As this thought arose in the minds of the audience, the water dragon roared and drew infinitely close, intending to devour the Super Fairy Cloth.

Given the reaction speed of most viewers, they probably wouldn't be able to dodge this water cannon no matter what.

But for Xia Chen and Xian Bu, this was naturally not a difficult task.

In their super-evolved state, the two were of one mind, and Xia Chen almost felt the cool yet extremely dangerous water vapor in front of him.

The next instant, Fairy Cloth, which had no wings and seemed unable to fly, rose into the air and easily and gracefully dodged the terrifying water cannon that was almost certain to hit.

The score on the screen behind Mikkuri suddenly decreased by one-tenth—this was the punishment for being dodged as a Milotic move.

If Sylvanas can defuse the situation more skillfully and elegantly, the opponent will lose even more points.

However, the fact that Sylveon could dodge such a swift attack in such an unexpected way was something no one expected, including Milotic.

She stared in astonishment at the Super Celestial, which seemed to float in mid-air like a god, and couldn't help but wonder about its mode of flight—electromagnetic levitation? Superpowers?

No one can figure this out yet, but the audience is very accepting of it—it's just too low-class for an Aleutian to not be able to fly.

"thunder!"

Just as his mind was racing, a clear and loud command voice rang out across the field. It was Xia Chen, who had dodged the water cannons and was about to launch a counterattack.

There was another gasp of surprise from the crowd.

The reason for the exclamation was certainly not Xia Chen's ingenious choice of moves—Electric type is super effective against Water type, a basic Pokémon battle knowledge that even junior high school students who haven't received their starter Pokémon yet understand.

Amazingly, when did Cinque Terre start having thunder?

However, the exclamation was only momentary. Such an operation was already commonplace for Xia Chen's Pokémon. The important thing was that this was Mega Sylveon's first move!

How much damage can Sylveon, which was originally only at the Gym Leader level, deal after Mega Evolution?

Everyone was eagerly anticipating this event that they had been waiting for for far too long.

After all, good looks can't put food on the table... Well, being good-looking enough can put food on the table, but the essence of Pokémon battles is still that strength reigns supreme.

If someone is not only good-looking but also incredibly skilled in combat, that would be a killer move!

…………

Just as Xia Chen finished speaking, almost simultaneously, layers of dark clouds began to gather on the dome of the Glass Dojo, creating an oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.

In terms of sheer speed of energy condensation, Mega Evolution Sylveon appears to be in no way inferior to Milotic.

But this is only the surface. In reality, there is a difference between the two: Xia Chen's transmission of commands through the bond state of mental synchronization is almost zero.

Even so, Super Sylvanas's move release speed is exceptionally fast, surpassing even Champion-level moves, but easily surpassing Elite Four-level moves.

Mikuri, facing such an attack, dared not be careless in the slightest and calmly commanded, "Milus, use Water Ring to defend!"

Milotic, as the ace Pokémon of the Sootopolis Gym Leader, naturally has its unique strengths.

Ordinary Pokémon use moves in a very rigid and methodical way; they are considered quite capable as long as they can unleash the inherent power of the moves.

However, once one's strength reaches a certain level, precise control over energy allows their moves to be more effective.

Milotic's water ring is an example of this.

Just as lightning flickered and brewed among the dark clouds, streams of gentle, flowing, ring-shaped water energy rose from Milotic's serpentine waist.

Because the water ring is disassembled and the energy is dispersed, the healing effect of this move is almost zero. However, what Mikkeltu is not its healing effect.

At the same time, suddenly, lightning flashed in the dark clouds under the dome, and silver snakes danced wildly.

Dozens of silver lightning bolts, like heavenly tribulations, crashed down in horror. Under Xianbu's precise control, the Thunder Dragon's positioning blocked all the positions Milotic could dodge.

Within the despairing cage of lightning, Milotic has no way to escape.

Immediately following the strike of lightning was a deafening roar of thunder that seemed capable of shaking the entire universe.

The audience members who experienced the same power up close were both amazed and thrilled.

The build-up, with its initial restraint followed by a powerful surge, generated considerable anticipation among the audience, culminating in a breathtaking and exhilarating thunderbolt.

Aside from the damage to the ears, this was a spectacular attack that can be considered a prime example of violent aesthetics.

At this point, people no longer have any doubts about the intensity of super evolution.

Even if some actual power is sacrificed for the sake of spectacle, such an aura alone is something that only a Heavenly King-level strength can unleash!

To elevate one's strength from the Dojo level to the Elite Four level... is this the true value of Mega Evolution?

What about the Mega Evolution of a Pokémon that is already at the Elite Four or even Champion level?

At this moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but reveal a fanatical look.

This is especially true for the few big shots hiding in the shadows.

"If we could grasp such power... we would surely be able to realize our ideals!"

The bigwigs were saying similar things to their subordinates who were watching the live stream together, making it seem like they were having a company team-building event.

…………

Meanwhile, the outcome of the battle between the dozen or so lightning dragons and the water rings surrounding Milotic was finally revealed.

Water is the most powerful and the most gentle thing in the world. A water jet with an extremely fast flow can cut through steel, while this slow-flowing water ring can soothe the raging Razer with its all-encompassing nature.

Mikkuri's ace Milotic was still too powerful. Under the champion-level defense, the energy in the Water Ring turned into tough water bubbles, completely engulfing and dissipating the lightning bolts.

The move was brilliantly countered, and Xia Chen's score was reduced by forty points—more than double the twenty points that Mikeli had deducted when he dodged the water cannon!

Clearly, the AI ​​judging the process deemed the water flow ring's flawless and elegant execution worthy of a high score.

This is the biggest difference between flashy matches and ordinary battles; fancy counter-strategies are encouraged much more than simple dodging.

Miko used this water ring to demonstrate the essence of a spectacular battle.

As the lightning dissipated, Milotic stood proudly and elegantly on the water, enjoying the amazed gazes of the crowd while secretly gathering energy, preparing to launch a thunderous counterattack at any moment.

When she looked toward the spot where the fairy cloth had been floating, she paused.

Because that small, white-gold body had somehow transformed into a ball of lightning radiating brilliant yellow light, and was hurtling towards him at an astonishing speed!

Electric-type physical move, Volt Attack!

How could it be this move?

Not only Milotic, but most of the audience were stunned.

Sylveon has been around for over a year, and people already know a lot about this new Eevee evolution.

At least, and most importantly, the vast difference in special attack and physical attack capabilities means that this is definitely not a Pokémon that can be used for a dual-wielding build.

So what does this volt attack mean?

Mikoli was also completely baffled. But knowing that Xia Chen never did anything meaningless, he understood that the volt attack following the thunder was Super Senbu's real killing move.

The water ring has just dissipated and it's difficult for it to coalesce again. Protection is still possible, but this defensive method, which is even worse than dodging, might even cost you points.

…………

In a flash, Mikoli could only shout, "Milus, use Water Cannon to block it!"

The rushing water gushed out, and in this desperate situation, the water cannon was no longer as flashy as before; it simply faced the cloth-like electric sphere that was constantly enlarging in Milotic's pupils.

Just as the two were about to make contact, the electric ball lowered itself to an extreme position and slid down under the water cannon, perfectly missing its target.

Milotic's eyes clearly showed panic, because the area under the water cannon was her only blind spot!

Knowing full well that danger was approaching, yet being completely unaware of it.

Even a champion-level Pokémon isn't a god, and Milotic couldn't help but panic, instinctively lowering the angle of its Hydro Pump to give itself a vague sense of security.

However, for every minute the angle of the water cannon decreases, the flight altitude of the lightning ball also changes slightly.

Mikoli frowned, a strange thought suddenly arising in his mind.

He had fought Xia Chen once and knew that this guy's greatest strength was dragging his opponents into his rhythm and then delivering a crushing blow with a sudden change of direction.

This feeling... is very close!

Being in a passive position, he couldn't even imagine what form his opponent would take to attack, so he could only remind him, "Milotic, don't let your guard down!"

Milotic is suffering in silence. Do you see how relaxed I look now?

She didn't have time to think about such things; she focused her attention on the continuously descending electric ball.

With the water cannons providing a tight defense, it seemed that Senbu's Volt attack really couldn't find a way to break through.

However, just as the electric sphere was being forced by the water flow to touch the surface, a sudden change occurred!

Enveloped in a burst of electric light, Sylveon suddenly increased its altitude, instantly rising from near the water's surface to a position almost level with Milotic's head.

Ascend Volt Attack!

The swift, dragon-like movement occurred in the blink of an eye within Milotic's blind spot, leaving Milotic no time to react.

The lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant. By the time she reacted, her long, milky-white neck and lower abdomen were covered with charred scars from the lightning strike!

"Fuwoo!"

A painful and angry screech rang out.

For Milotic, the damage caused by the Volt attack was only part of the source of his displeasure; more importantly, his pure and beautiful body had been defiled!

However, the shouts were to no avail. Behind the screen, Milotic's score was reduced by 50 points from this attack, leaving him with only 130.

The glaring remaining scores from both sides made the audience realize that Sylveon had actually defeated Wallace's ace Pokémon Milotic in this spectacular battle!

Gazing at the holy spirit gracefully floating in mid-air, the audience was filled with disbelief and amazement.

Even though its size hasn't changed significantly since its Mega Evolution, its physical attack power has increased so much?

It seems that Mega Evolution changes more than just a Pokémon's appearance and strength.
