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

Ryūno's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his voice became much lighter, "Dragonite, Dragon Dance!"

His Dragonite ability is Multiscale – when at its peak, it greatly reduces the damage it takes from moves.

Therefore, he was not afraid of a sudden attack from Zoroark after it came out, and instead let Dragonite perform Dragon Dance on its own.

Above the vast rocky arena, a large, fat orange dragon spun and danced. Although its dance was not particularly graceful, it possessed a strange power.

Suddenly, a void rift appeared out of thin air again beside Dragonite, and Gardevoir swiftly emerged from it.

Both Ryūno and Tatsumi were completely unconcerned—"Go ahead and fight me, I'll admit defeat if you even flinch."

The dense Ghost-type energy condensed into a claw shape and slammed down on the dancing Dragonite.

However, this move couldn't even shake the latter's body in the slightest. With its multiple scales and the protective energy overflowing from the outer layer of Dragon Dance, Dragonite's durability is just that formidable.

When Gardevoir appeared, Dragonite immediately stopped its dancing and spinning, its body shimmering with a faint orange glow.

"Dragon Claw!"

Faced with the guy who had delivered himself to his doorstep, Ryūno naturally didn't hold back and commanded Dragonite to use his signature move.

Dragonite's massive left fist condensed into a dark green energy at an incredible speed. The pure Dragon-type energy instantly grew into a ferocious claw shape almost half the size of its body!

The level of terror was on a completely different level compared to the previous storm—

Dragonite is already better at Dragon-type moves and leans towards physical attacks. With the added boost from Dragon Dance, the power of its Dragon Claw is unimaginable.

With nowhere to hide, Gardevoir decided not to run away, its orange horn radiating a chilling aura.

Clearly, she was going to retaliate with a freezing beam.

A cruel smile suddenly flashed across Dragonite's honest face. "The idea is very good, but are you... sure you can withstand my dragon claw?"

…………

The lingering storm air howled past, and the dragon's claws seemed to grow even stronger against the wind before the Dragonite slammed down with all its might.

The expected energy explosion did not occur. Dragonite looked down in confusion and saw that the immense energy in its claws had actually passed right through Gardevoir and vanished into nothingness!

This is a classic example of Dragon-type moves being immune to Fairy-type Pokémon. She... is Gardevoir?!

Not only were the Dragons and Dragons on the field astonished, but the big shots in the audience on the sidelines were equally surprised.

As high-ranking members of the league, most of them are elite-level trainers or above, and they can definitely understand the game.

Although Longye and Xia Chen's previous game was a bit confusing, after careful consideration, they were able to follow Longye's line of thought.

They also concluded that the "Gardedoll" on the field was a creation of Zoroark—if it wasn't Zoroark, could it be Gardevoir that used Phantom Assault?

Wait a minute, it seems... it's not really impossible?

Many people suddenly remembered Milotic, which could use Whirlwind Dance, Water Spray, and Freeze-Dry, and Gardevoir, which could use Volt Switch. So, it doesn't seem surprising that Gardevoir could use Phantom Attack.

As for why a special attack-oriented Pokémon would learn a physical attack move like Phantom Assault, firstly, it would provide an extra defensive move, and secondly, it's like today's situation—

This stealthy attack perfectly fooled everyone, and most importantly, it fooled Longye on the field!

The dragon's claw missed its mark. Ryūno was the first to react. Before he could even panic, he immediately shouted, "Dragonite, protect!"

However, it was too late. Gardevoir seized the opportunity and, the instant after the dragon claw phantom disappeared, shot out the Ice Beam towards its unobstructed front!

The chilling light magnified in Dragonite's eyes, and the thin, frozen beam pierced through the air, shining directly onto Dragonite's vulnerable face.

"Waaah—"

Dragonite let out a bloodcurdling scream. Even though the difference in strength between the two was quite large, the Ice Beam, which was four times super effective against it, still caused considerable damage.

Fearing that a second freezing beam would follow, Ryūno cautiously commanded, "Dragonite, take off!"

At this level of Pokémon, there's no need to worry about execution. Despite the pain from the numbness on his face from the cold, Dragonite flapped its wings and soared high into the air.

However, Xia Chen and Gardevoir did not choose to press their advantage, but instead chose... Mega Evolution!

The camera splits to focus on the Keystone bracelet in Xia Chen's hand and the pendant on Gardevoir's chest. Only then do viewers realize that the gem on the pendant is not just an ornament, but a Mega Stone!

As expected, if Gardevoir can Mega Evolve, there's no reason why Xia Chen's Gardevoir, as the discoverer of Mega Evolution, can't.

Another super evolution!

…………

Although it wasn't the first time I'd witnessed super evolution, seeing it live again still filled me with excitement and exhilaration.

A radiant light, representing the sublimation of spiritual bonds, burst forth, and Gardevoir's form subtly changed within the radiance.

Soon, a mysterious and elegant figure appeared in a black tulle evening gown!

Beneath her short blue hair, her exquisite face was breathtakingly beautiful, and against the backdrop of her dark, flowing skirt, Gardevoir appeared like an unattainable flower on a high mountain.

How can there be such a beautiful elf...?

This was the only thought in the minds of countless viewers who witnessed this scene.

Although Gardevoir's Mega Gardevoir was already amazing enough some time ago, it's no exaggeration to say that compared to Shiny Mega Gardevoir, it's like "a firefly vying for the moon's glory."

No one doubts that from today onwards, the Shiny Ralts baby Pokémon will become the most valuable of all Pokémon.

Shiny Mega Gardevoir will also surpass last year's Sylveon to become the most popular Pokémon.

But that's a story for another time. Right now, the match has only just begun.

Ryūno waited very politely until Gardevoir's Mega Evolution was over. Then, he withdrew his amazed gaze and coldly commanded, "Dragonite, Extreme Speed!"

You may be good-looking, but this is a battlefield. Just because you're good-looking doesn't mean I won't fight you.

Chapter 348 Isn't this bullying the honest dragon?!

While Gardevoir was undergoing its Mega Evolution, Dragonite, having endured the pain it had previously suffered, transformed into an orange meteor and plummeted straight down to where Gardevoir was.

Although its multiple scales were broken and it was hit in the face by an ice beam, these were not considered very serious effects on Dragonite.

Conversely, after Dragon Dance, every physical attack that Dragonite unleashes is deadly to Gardevoir.

With both Pokémon having a solid foundation, Dragonite has a much higher margin for error than Gardevoir.

Ryūno stared coldly at the rapidly falling Dragonite, and thought to himself with a sneer—

I'll say it again, you need to hand over your teleportation ability!

Faced with the Dragonite's fierce charge, Xia Chen dared not be careless in the slightest.

After Mega Evolution, Gardevoir's main improvements are in Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, while its Physical Defense and HP remain as fragile as ever.

Even if Gardevoir is in perfect condition, it will be 100% killed in one hit if it takes this attack head-on.

Out of caution, Xia Chen, as Long Ye wished, had Gardevoir use Teleport to avoid the attack first.

With a sudden distortion and fluctuation in space, Mega Gardevoir vanished.

The audience looked around the empty rocky arena, but couldn't find her.

"Dragonite, up here, Swallow Return!"

Ryūno's sharp shout snapped the bewildered audience out of their daze and gave instructions for Dragonite's next move.

Above, at the starting point where Dragonite had originally sprinted, an elegant and mysterious figure floated quietly, as if gathering energy.

Dragonite remained fearless, flapping its dark green wings, and in an instant, a whirlwind of shimmering white energy swirled around its body.

Then, due to inertia, the Dragonite, which continued to dive downwards at high speed, suddenly flipped over and, with the nimble movement of a swallow flying through the air, the fat dragon turned around and attacked at an even faster speed!

The rapid shifts in attack rhythm and the unexpected attack methods are the biggest features of the Swallow Return move, making it almost impossible for an enemy locked onto by Swallow Return to dodge.

Legend has it that the most elite giant swallows can still turn around nimbly at near-sonic speeds, using their blade-like wings to deliver a fatal blow to opponents who think they have dodged the attack.

And Dragonite is not far from that level right now!

…………

Watching the Dragonite soar into the sky like a small rocket, Xia Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Located a dozen meters above the rocky terrain, this was the spot he had specifically chosen for Gardevoir's Blink landing.

As expected, Dragonite, which lost its target while in its super speed state, should have had a very difficult time turning around and attacking. Unexpectedly, it directly performed a perfect Aerial Return.

In a flash, Xia Chen decisively had Gardevoir use Teleport and Blink to dodge again.

Whether Gardevoir's Ice Beam hits Dragonite or not is not crucial, but whether it can avoid being hit by the powerful Aerial Ace is extremely important.

Fortunately, Gardevoir had created enough distance beforehand, and in its Mega Evolution Bond state, Xia Chen's communication with it was almost seamless. By a narrow margin, Gardevoir teleported to the ground, avoiding the almost certain Aerial Return.

box--

The sound of heavy objects colliding came from the air above the arena. The audience looked up in the direction of the sound, only to see that the Dragonite, unable to brake in time, had crashed headfirst into the solid ceiling.

The dust from the cement wall fell like snow, creating a strangely beautiful scene. The Dragonite braced itself against the ceiling with its claws and easily pulled its head out, though a hint of pain was visible on its honest face.

A simple physics principle: forces act in pairs.

A full-force attack reflected back onto your head; even someone with an iron head couldn't withstand such a blow.

Of course, if the ceiling could feel pain, it would be the most unfortunate one...

Gardevoir did not seize this opportune moment to retaliate, not because it did not want to, but because it could not.

Two consecutive long-distance teleportations in a short period of time naturally come at a heavy price—Gardevoir consumed nearly half of its energy!

At this moment, she is repaying for this and is doing everything she can to recover.

However, being able to use this to delay Dragon's aggressive opening three moves makes the price worthwhile.

Ryūno understood this perfectly, and once again commanded, "Dragonite, use Mount Tai Press!"

With oneself above and the enemy below, this is the most suitable situation to use this move.

This move is not common because only large Pokémon can use it to its full potential and deal maximum damage.

Typical examples are Snorlax and Aggron, while Dragonite, although far from those two heavyweights, is still quite large with a body weighing nearly half a ton.

…………

If the previous incredible speed was like a meteorite falling to earth, it had a certain agility and swiftness to it.

Then this overwhelming force, like a mountain falling from the sky, is full of domineering power.

Aiming at Gardevoir on the ground, Dragonite launched itself with a free-landing motion and slammed it down.
