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

However, when she brought the thing to her, she was dumbfounded. It turned out that the tentacles had not grabbed Doronchi, but Doronmesia, who had offered herself up.

Shedding its skin like a cicada!

And what about Doraki's true form?

In the short time that followed, he had already erected a second line of defense behind Nian Meilong—a reflective barrier.

Longye had no choice but to let the sticky dragon vent its anger on the dragon Mesia, shouting, "Dragon Breath!"

It didn't even take long to condense energy; a casual spit of purple dragon breath was enough to knock out Doronmesia, rendering him dizzy and unable to fight, causing his plane to crash onto the rocky ground.

At the same time, the reflective wall was fully deployed, and a classic [light wall-reflective wall combined defense line] was officially completed.

Longye could only console himself that after doing all this, Duolongqi would be of no use anymore.

Although it seems he could use moves like Will-O-Wisp or Thunder Wave to annoy Goodra, this approach is not viable because Goodra's ability, Wet Body, can remove status conditions in the rain.

Therefore, Doraki's only role going forward is to quickly get rid of it and leave the field, giving Sylvanas enough time to perform under the double walls.

Thinking of this, Longye's mood suddenly eased a lot.

No matter how cunning Ren Xiachen may be, when faced with an absolute difference in strength, the weak can only do so much.

But just as he was thinking this, he saw that the Duolongqi behind Nianmeilong did not fly out as he expected, but instead started spinning in circles!

…………

Dragon Dance!

Long Ye of the Imperial Dragon Clan was very familiar with this move.

But why did he perform Dragon Dance? Did he really think Draco could break Goodra's defense?

To reach that level, you'd need at least two or three dragon dances to have a chance, right?

Even so, Draco's margin for error is still extremely low. If Goodra just uses any move, Draco will die instantly.

Isn't this a waste of time for light walls and reflective walls?

Something's wrong, something's really wrong...

Given Xia Chen's fighting style, he wouldn't do something with such a disproportionate risk-reward ratio, so there's only one answer—

Pass the baton!

A flash of inspiration struck Long Ye, and he quickly realized the ultimate purpose behind Xia Chen's move.

Baton Pass, a very special variation move even within the entire skill pool—

It deliberately leaves the field, passing on all its buffs to the next Pokémon to enter the field!

This is definitely it!

Longye suddenly understood.

Moves like [Dragon Tail], [Blow Away], and [U-turn] that cause a Pokémon to leave the field do not count towards the five-minute time limit, and the same applies to Baton Pass.

Therefore, Doraki's use of Dragon Dance to enhance his abilities and then leaving the field in conjunction with the baton exchange is a completely permissible action within the rules.

Similarly, this is exactly what Xia Chen wanted to achieve!

We can't let Duolongqilongwu take over the stage!

He made that decision in an instant.

Goodra's speed isn't her strong point due to her size. If the more agile and flying Mega Sylveon were to receive the Dragon Dance bonus, the gap would widen further.

At that point, it's really hard to say how this battle will end.

Thinking of this, Longye immediately shouted, "Nianmeilong, use the powerful whip to drag him out!"

Right now, every minute and second is precious output time, and not a single moment can be wasted.

Nianmeilong's gaze sharpened, and the two thick antennae on its head immediately turned into a lush green like vines.

Its tentacles drooped down behind its head, then suddenly swept backward, and a Pokémon several times smaller than Goodra was scrambled off its back.

He was surrounded by an orange glow that signified his enhanced state, clearly indicating that he had completed the Dragon Dance!

Judging from his weak aura, Draco was clearly not in good condition. Although it had Reflect to block the attack and Dragon-type moves had double resistance to Grass-type moves, the powerful Whip still dealt it a near-devastating blow.

If he were just a little bit unlucky, or if he hadn't held on, Doronchi might not have had the chance to use the baton.

But there are no "what ifs" on the battlefield.

"Doraki, take the baton!"

As if by magic, as soon as Xia Chen finished speaking, Dragapult transformed into an orange beam of light, narrowly dodging Goodra's deadly powerful whip, and returned to the Poké Ball in Xia Chen's hand.

Before parting, he didn't forget to give Nian Meilong a mocking smile—

My mission is complete!

…………

Light Screen, Reflect Wall, and a Dragon Dance prepared for the next Pokémon – this was Dragapult's answer in this battle.

It seems that it didn't cause even the slightest damage to the sticky dragon, but if Xia Chen can really miraculously defeat this big boss, Duolongqi will definitely play a crucial role.

The instant Draco transformed into orange light and returned to its Poké Ball, Xia Chen immediately threw out a second Poké Ball.

As the white light flashed, Longye shouted without hesitation, "Sticky Dragon, keep going, whip it hard!"

He clearly remembered that the last move Sylveon used before leaving the field was Rain Dance, which meant that she should be a water-type character now.

Even with the damage reduction from the reflective barrier, this powerful whip would still severely injure him.

"sticky--"

With a resolute dragon roar, the Nume Dragon stomped heavily forward toward the spot where the fairy cloth had landed, splashing water high into the air with each step.

Above their heads, the green light grew deeper and more intense. It was a color that represented vitality, but it exuded a terrifying aura within its boundless energy.

call--

Two massive tentacles, nearly as thick as a monarch serpent, lashed out with tremendous force, whipping through the air with a powerful, swift motion.

But just by looking at its momentum, one can imagine the consequences of being hit by this powerful whip. Can Super Immortal Cloth withstand it?

Amidst the worried yet curious gazes of the audience, the verdant tentacles finally struck Xianbu, who hadn't even fully appeared yet.

?——

A loud, deafening sound suddenly rang out, sounding not at all like tentacles striking flesh, but more like something hitting metal.

The entire audience stared in astonishment, for from that voice, it was clear that an unexpected turn of events had occurred in this battle.

The white light dissipated, revealing a figure beneath the light that was not the expected Super Fairy Cloth, but a silver-white... snail shell?

…………

What is that thing? Could it be an elf?

Upon seeing this enormous metal snail shell, which they had never seen before, everyone was stunned.

This was especially true for the sticky dragon on the battlefield. She felt that the thing in front of her was somewhat familiar, but she was also very sure that she had never seen this thing before.

If it can come out of a Poké Ball, it must be a Pokémon, but what Pokémon looks like this?

"Nian Meilong, your eyes are brimming with tears!"

As the entire arena fell silent, a command suddenly rang out, not from Long Ye, but from Xia Chen.

This voice answered the questions of all those who were confused.

So, this is a sticky dragon?

They couldn't help but glance at the other, genuine, sticky dragon on the battlefield—

If this world weren't distorted, shouldn't the real Nume Dragon look like this?

When the real Pokémon emerged from the snail shell, everyone was shocked. It was a Pokémon that looked very much like Goodra!

As everyone knows, if a Pokémon looks like Goodra and sounds like Goodra, then it is Goodra!

The answer is obvious: this is a Goomy Dragon with a metal shell on its back!

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

What new trick has Xia Chen come up with this time?

Is it an evolution of Goodra? Or another form of Goodra?

Everyone understands that the answer to this question is most likely the latter—

Goodra is already a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. If we give it another evolution, what chance do other Pokémon have?

However, if it is the regional form of the Gomi Dragon, new problems arise.

A pseudo-god possessing a regional form is a world first, but which region is it? Eastern Empire?

There are so many mysteries swirling in the minds of the audience. It is foreseeable that after this match, discussions about this special Goodra will once again sweep the world.

But right now, the ongoing battles are clearly the most noteworthy thing.

The audience calmed down and gradually quieted down, turning their attention to the battlefield where the two dragons were facing off.

…………

The audience wasn't the only ones stunned; Longye and his beloved Longmei were equally taken aback.

This has nothing to do with their psychological qualities; it's purely instinct.

But in that very moment, the Green-scented Sticky Dragon had already released a strange energy stream with a weakening effect onto the ordinary Sticky Dragon right in front of it.

Tears in the Eyes – This is a general variation move that releases energy to reduce the opponent's dual attack power, an effective way to limit dual-wielders.

Longye frowned slightly.

The opponent has double walls to reduce damage, and our side is restricted by various means. That dragon with the steel shell still looks very tough.

Even though Numeru possesses champion-level strength, with such gradual weakening, he inevitably becomes somewhat powerless.

Fortunately, Longye remembered that Xia Chen's Goomei Dragon was born this year, so its strength couldn't be that great. It was already considered exceptionally talented to have elite-level strength, so the current situation wasn't too serious.

Then, he boldly commanded: "Sticky Dragon, Dragon Pulse!"

Xia Chen responded firmly, "Charge! Dragon Claw!"
