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

I'm not afraid of Fairy Cloth's protection, I'm afraid of Xia Chen's tricks.

Xia Chen's reaction was the best evidence that his tactics were effective. If there were no other way, who would use such a trump card as [Protection] to save their life?

Following this flawless logic, Longye shouted, "Continue using the Flame Fist!"

With the protective barrier gone, the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon faced no further obstacles. It raised its resolute, scale-covered fists and slammed them forward once more, but this unstoppable attack missed its mark again.

Taking advantage of the gap between the two fiery fists, Xianbu stepped into the air and flew high into the air, dodging the incredibly fast fiery fist!

Ryūno sighed, the battle raging on, and for a moment he'd completely forgotten that Sylveon could fly after its Mega Evolution. It was like a giant breast cup with a bra—one thing after another...

…………

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Longye reacted with lightning speed and commanded, "Flame Throttle!"

There was absolutely no time for Xia Chen to react or adjust.

If physical melee attacks don't work, then let's use ranged magic attacks!

The Soul Dance Sonic Boom is an all-around enhancement. The Staff-tailed Kommo-o is a near-hexagonal warrior in six dimensions, so the power of this flame jet is no less than that of the Flame Fist, and may even be stronger.

Flames shot into the sky, and a continuous stream of blazing fire energy, mixed with flying sand and stones, gushed out from the mouth of the staff-tailed scaled dragon, which was tilted back to the sky, creating a spectacular scene like a volcanic eruption.

Under the suppression of this extremely wide-ranging jet of flame, Xianbu had no chance to fight back and could only wander around the edge of the flames that were constantly chasing her, waiting for Xia Chen to come to her rescue.

As expected of Xianbu, Xia Chen quickly devised a solution—

"Please let it rain!"

Xianbu's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Xia Chen's intention. He stopped and gathered water energy in his body, and the color of the pearl on his forehead turned azure blue.

Moisture swirled and gathered in the air, and soon a dark cloud appeared beneath the ceiling, followed by a torrential downpour.

The flames, still spewing forth under the rain, had not been extinguished, but they swayed in the downpour, completely losing their previous arrogant and domineering aura.

Clearly, even the most powerful jet of flame will be significantly weakened by the laws of rain. Furthermore, with the fact that Senbu has gained water resistance due to Rain Dance, this jet of flame is practically equivalent to having four times the resistance when it hits the body.

Longye's carefully devised countermeasures were once again rendered useless by Xia Chen's quick reflexes.

It's unplayable!

The throbbing veins on Longye's forehead revealed his powerlessness and anger. This was the first time he had ever felt so frustrated while commanding the twice-enhanced Staff-tailed Armored Dragon.

The Kommo-o-Tai, which should have been launching powerful attacks, found its punches landing almost like hitting cotton. Despite trying almost every move in its skill pool, it still couldn't gain the upper hand.

Even the viewers in the live chat could empathize with his despair at that moment.

…………

"The devil is always one step ahead of the saint! I never expected Xia Chen and Xianbu to be such formidable opponents in a competition like this. They're terrifying..."

"Honestly, this is way too difficult. If I were in their shoes, I probably wouldn't even be able to figure out the Flame Fist level!"

"How about Ice Punch? Oh wait, Mega Sylveon can fly, but Kommo-o can't. This is going to be tricky..."

"Let's switch Pokémon. The main issue is that Kommo-o is four times weak to Fairy-type Pokémon. If it's Goodra, a pure Dragon-type Pokémon is at most twice weak to it, and its high Special Defense also makes it immune to Moonblast and the like."

Perhaps it's true that an outsider's perspective is clearer, but among the numerous comments, one long comment pointed Longye in the right direction: if you can't beat Kommo-o, then switch to another Pokémon.

However, once the scene changes, the two layers of Soul Dance Sonic Boom buff from the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon will instantly dissipate, and not everyone can afford to give up such a price.

Longye had no shortage of courage to make tough decisions. After thinking it through, he took out a Poké Ball without hesitation, recalled Kommo-o which was being tortured by Dazzling Magic, and then switched to his fifth Pokémon for the match.

It was his trump card—Nian Meilong.

Although this was not the first time Xia Chen had seen Long Ye's sticky dragon, looking at its enormous size of nearly three meters and the imposing aura it exuded, Xia Chen couldn't help but marvel at how well it had been raised.

Xia Chen, who had also raised a Goodra, understood perfectly well that judging a Pokémon's combat strength based on its size was absolutely correct.

This is a powerful Pokémon that is fully capable of being part of any champion's main lineup!

"Nian Meilong, pour cold water on me!"

Using the opponent's strength against them, Longye cleverly took advantage of the rainy weather set up by Xianbu and started by splashing cold water.

This is a relatively uncommon Water-type special attack move. Its power is not high, only slightly stronger than Water Gun, but it has a very special effect—

By splashing cold water that is enough to reduce the opponent's vitality, you can reduce the opponent's attack.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, this is the law of the elf world, and Longye's idea is very simple—

Goodra has extremely high Special Defense, and with the reduction of Sylveon's Attack, Goodra, which is not super effective against four types, has no more worries about defense.

Subsequently, it was able to gradually erode her strength until it was defeated, ignoring her multiple attribute changes, with its overwhelming power surpassing that of Super Fairybuff.

…………

The icy cold water sprayed upwards against the downward-falling raindrops. Suddenly, a red light flashed, and Sylveon's figure disappeared. It turned out that Xia Chen had decisively recalled Sylveon in its super-evolved state.

Longye frowned. He remembered what had happened not long ago: the aluminum steel dragon that had just been substituted in was rendered useless by Sai Fuhao's metallic voice and parting gift.

That time and that moment seem just like this moment.

However, Xia Chen probably doesn't have any Pokémon that disgusting anymore...

While Xia Chen was thinking, he had already sent out the Pokémon that would replace Sylveon in the game—Drow Ranger!

Why is it Doronchi?

Longye was somewhat surprised.

Theoretically speaking, before evolving into Dragapult, he is the weakest member of Xia Chen's main lineup. Why not Milotic?

Unaware that Milotic was still training with Rayquaza in the Hoenn region, Ryūno had this question in his mind.

However, he didn't think too much about it. He had already brought out his absolute trump card, Goodra, so it didn't matter whether the opponent was Drakengard or Milotic.

Chapter 351 Xi Cui Nian Mei Long's Debut, VS Nian Mei Long!

To be honest, before the match started, Longye never imagined that he would be forced into such a situation—having to send out Nene Ryu to handle the aftermath.

Although the influence of the two Mega Evolved Pokémon was the decisive factor, no matter what, Xia Chen's rate of strength growth was simply too terrifying.

Fortunately, Mega Gardevoir has fallen, and Mega Sylveon has temporarily retreated after Goodra's appearance.

Xia Chen's performance in this match has been nothing short of miraculous so far, and it's time for it to come to an end.

Longye murmured to himself.

On the field, torrential rain poured down, and the towering figure of Nianmeilong stood majestically on the rocky ground.

The already sticky body, after being thoroughly soaked by rainwater, forms a layer of slippery armor that provides exceptional protection against special attacks.

The special mucus secreted from her body is the most important reason why she can become the Wailing Wall, a special attacker.

"Soul Dragon, Dragon Pulse!"

Facing this Dragonkid whose aura was even stronger than the previous Cyclops, Ryūno had no reason to defend against any of its attacks and immediately had the Nume Dragon use a Dragon Pulse as its opening move.

"sticky--"

As a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Goodra is not only outstanding in defense, but its offensive and defensive capabilities are also above the average level of ordinary Pokémon.

With just a moment's pause, a spherical object, deep purple in color and containing rich dragon-type energy, emerged from the mouth of the Gluttonous Dragon and shot out towards the direction of the Dragon.

As soon as it broke free from the launcher, the energy ball suddenly expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a miasma that seemed to be alive, enveloping Doraki from all angles. No matter how Doraki dodged, it was as if it had been fitted with a tracker and had nowhere to hide.

Seeing this, Xia Chen had no choice but to give the order: "Let's launch a surprise attack."

The difference in strength between the two is like an insurmountable chasm. If Duolongqi were to be hit by this dragon's wave, he would surely fall.

While defeating the big boss Goodra certainly can't be done with Draco, he still plays a crucial role in the plan and can't be easily defeated.

…………

Seeing the void rift open and Doronchi disappear into the overwhelming dragon energy, Longye was not surprised at all. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Pay attention to where he appears. Don't give him any chance. Take him away with your dragon breath!"

Xia Chen clicked his tongue lightly. Why be so cautious when fighting a gym-level Dragapult?

With the trainer's instructions, Goodra naturally wouldn't take it lightly, looking around for any unusual activity in the air.

Suddenly, she sensed a distorted spatial energy fluctuation appearing behind her. With her extremely rich combat experience, Niumi immediately realized that Doronchi was playing a trick, trying to appear from behind her.

Energy was gathering in her mouth, and at the same time she suddenly turned around. Her first big movement was surprisingly agile.

The moment he turned around, he unleashed a burst of dragon energy, but it only hit empty air. Behind him, apart from the quietly closing void rift, there was nothing at all!

Not behind you?

No, it's still behind us!

Nian Meilong clearly felt a slight force gripping her back—

The moment Doron emerged from the void rift, it did not choose to attack directly, but instead attached itself to its own back!

What is he going to do?

"Doraki, Light Screen!"

Xia Chen's command revealed the answer to Niang Meilong.

It's neither an attack nor a buff, but a move that, once erected, reduces special attack damage by half: a light screen.

Whether it's attacking or boosting, it only works on Dragapult itself. But relying on Dragapult to fight Goodra is really a pipe dream, so the appearance of Light Screen is not surprising.

Colorless and formless supernatural energy coalesced and formed a transparent prism that reflected light under the lamplight, separating Goodra and Draco.

Longye frowned slightly; this was not good news for him.

There are only two ways to deal with annoying things like light walls and reflective walls: either smash them directly with [Brick Break], or improve your own output to ignore them.

Unfortunately, Nian Meilong is not good at either of these.

Kommo-o, the pseudo-legendary Fighting-type Pokémon, is proficient in Brick Break, but Goodra has only just switched in and still has more than four minutes of "switch-in cooldown".

Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that Xia Chen sent Duolongqi to release the light wall.

The next tactic is predictable: set up a reflective barrier, quickly eliminate it, and leave the stage for the real main damage dealer, Super Sylvanas Windrunner.

…………

Although Longye understood, he had no choice but to instruct, "Nianmeilong, use your tentacles to pull him off first."

Being small has its advantages. Draco, clinging to the nearly three-meter-tall Goodra, was like a parasite, impossible to shake off. Only his powerful tentacles could pull him down.

Although the two tentacles looked soft, their extensibility and flexibility were unmatched by any synthetic material, and they quickly grabbed onto a small object.
