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

This unexpected surprise caused Xia Chen to change his original battle strategy, and he immediately shouted, "Break the shell!"

This enhancement move is very powerful and special—it greatly increases both attack and speed, but reduces both defense because it sacrifices defense.

Although Goodra has a shell, this is not a technique she originally possessed; rather, it was learned later through Zoroark's Technique-Tech Devil Fruit.

Considering that Goodra is the only Pokémon without any offensive stat-boosting moves, this special berry was assigned to her.

Her naturally strong defensive and defensive capabilities also allow her to maintain good survivability after hatching, not to mention that her opponent is currently weakened by being teary-eyed and acting cute.

Therefore, Xia Chen chose to use the aggressive "Breaking Out" technique immediately after his seclusion, because he keenly sensed that the time for a counterattack had arrived.

A rich orange glow flowed around the Green Dragon, indicating that the enhancement brought about by hatching had taken shape. Coupled with the Dragon Dance that had not yet dissipated, she was now a formidable threat to her opponents!

"Dragon Tail!"

"Ignoring all concerns about saving face," Longye shouted urgently.

After hatching, the power of one thing diminished while the other grew. The threat posed by this mutant Goodra was now greater than that of Mega Sylveon. Before his weakened abilities were restored, he had lost confidence that his Goodra could gain the upper hand in this battle.

Although Longwei seems to be avoiding battle, it's still better than being overwhelmed by this junior later, right?

…………

Goodra's thick tail dipped slightly, then gathered energy and hurled it at its opponent.

This move isn't about power; it's just about sending that troublesome mutant Goodra back into its Poké Ball.

But you have feelings for me, while I am unwilling to accept them.

The benefits of hatching are not limited to attack power; the significant increase in speed makes her much faster than her seemingly bulky size suggests.

With a nimble dodge to the right, the Emerald Dragon dodged the clearly traced dragon tail, and its opponent's plan naturally fell through.

"Fight back, Iron Tail!"

Having dodged the dragon's tail, the Emerald Dragon steadied itself and then, using its waist to generate power, swung its large, steel-shelled tail back with a powerful, mirror-like motion, the silvery-white metal gleaming with a menacing, dangerous light.

Long Ye's expression turned solemn, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Don't dodge, use True Qi Bullet!"

With the dragon's tail evaded and the opponent pressing relentlessly, there is absolutely no reason to avoid it any longer, whether from an emotional or rational perspective.

Taking advantage of the fact that the mutant Goodra's Special Defense had decreased due to hatching, he was going to use this double-strength Aura Bomb to regain his momentum!

Nian Meilong stood firmly as if in a horse stance. In front of her, an orange-yellow energy projectile with an aura similar to a wave missile swelled as she focused her breath.

At the same time, a gust of wind generated by the swinging of a heavy object swept past in front of the Nume Dragon, and its steel tail was already very close to its body.

Boom——

The crisp sound of metal striking metal had rang out countless times today, yet the sticky dragon, the one subjected to the force, remained unmoved.

It wasn't that the iron tail failed to break her defenses—the iron tail after hatching was undoubtedly more powerful than the previous dragon claw.

However, Good Dragon persevered through sheer willpower, and then, the cannonball in front of him, brimming with berserk Fighting-type energy, was finally fully charged and launched with a roar!

The energy blast flew at low altitude, skimming the ground at high speed, kicking up clouds of dust that drifted in the wind.

At the end of its trajectory, the massive body of the Washing Jade Dragon, having just unleashed its Iron Tail, stood motionless. From this angle, it was a true energy blast that was almost impossible to dodge.

But today seems like a miracle's birthday, with nothing happening as people had anticipated.

The next instant, a ripple of mist appeared in the air, and the true energy blast that should have hit Xi Cui Nian Mei Long head-on passed right through her body and missed!

boom--

The deafening sound of the True Energy Bullet exploding on the rocky ground could not rouse the bewildered Ryuno and the audience.

That didn't even hit?!

Could this mutant Goodra be a Ghost-type Pokémon?

This situation is obviously impossible. No matter how outrageous it is, there has never been a three-attribute Pokémon.

Or perhaps it's a move that can give a Pokémon the Ghost type, like [Halloween Night]?

Not to mention that this is the Pumpkin Monster's signature move, there's no trace of this move being used on the field!

One unsolved mystery after another perplexed everyone watching the game.

Longye, however, seemed lost in thought. He recalled a overlooked detail: before hatching, the mutant Goodra seemed to have used a technique called [Seclusion]...

Could this be the influencing factor?

It seems that this is the only option.

But what is the principle behind this move?

This is really mind-bending...

Long Ye was stunned. He even wished he could run to the other side of the field right now and ask Xia Chen about these issues.

However, the battle continues, so this idea is obviously unrealistic.

…………

Xia Chen was also marveling at how lucky he was in this match.

First, the opponent inexplicably used [coquetry] to trigger the magic mirror, and then this incredibly powerful true energy blast was missed by the evasion boost brought by [seclusion].

Although none of these events are rare occurrences, when combined, they can indeed be described as quite lucky.

The key to the increased evasion rate of the "Seclusion" technique lies in the transparent smoke that envelops Goodra, which works on a similar principle to optical invisibility.

This cloud of energy refracts light, causing those who see the Goomy Dragon or the spirits to misjudge its location.

However, the size of that energy blast was truly exaggerated, and there was a certain element of luck involved in dodging it.

However, what Xia Chen didn't know was that what seemed like a coincidence was actually inevitable for Nian Meilong—

She has been accompanied by the great fortune of "I am destiny" since birth, which is more than just something to look at.

It was under the influence of mysterious forces that one miracle after another was born.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Nian Meilong's continuous efforts - without sufficient strength, even with maximum luck, one cannot achieve the current situation.

Back on the battlefield.

Long Ye, who originally hoped to turn the tide with that True Qi Bomb, has now completely lost his will to fight back, even though the situation is not actually so bad that it is beyond saving.

But as the saying goes, one should strike while the iron is hot, but then the momentum wanes, and finally the strength is exhausted.

A series of events that occurred one after another, which were previously unimaginable, made Tatsuno lose his will to fight.

Willpower is a very important factor in Pokémon battles.

At this moment, Longye had already lost the desire to win the game.

Although he was still on the battlefield, his mind was far away. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind—to find out everything about that damned and fascinating alien Gomi Dragon.

Under the influence of its trainer, Goodra's momentum weakened, and its already constrained strength became even more difficult to unleash.

Gradually, epic scenes began to appear on the battlefield, with Gym Leader-level Pokémon overwhelming Champion-level Pokémon.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; Xi Cui Nian Meilong only gained the upper hand in the situation due to her impetuousness.

The reality is that both sides' physical strength and condition declined rapidly under the intense confrontation.

If Ryūno could stay calm, with just the [Life Drop] move, he could give his Goodra the upper hand in this battle, and then finish off the various buffs and debuffs once they wear off.

But perhaps feeling that such a way of winning was dishonorable, or perhaps eager to end the match, he did not do so.

After nearly five minutes of fierce fighting, with the final slam of the dragon claw, the Goodra finally fell just before the light barrier ended—both of them almost simultaneously.

The main reason why Xi Cui Nian Mei Long lost its ability to fight was that it was exhausted both its energy and physical strength, and collapsed from exhaustion.

…………

The audience was completely silent.

No matter how crazy someone is, no one could have predicted that this mutant Goodra, which is not even a year old yet, could defeat a champion-level pseudo-legendary Pokémon that has been famous for a long time.

But the facts speak for themselves: she created a miracle that is unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated!

She did it!

slam-la-

For the first time, thunderous applause erupted from the small audience seats.

At this moment, the league leaders set aside their reserve and, as pure spectators, sincerely admired the performance of this mutant Goodra.

Needless to say, the live stream was filled with non-stop exclamations and praises from the moment Xi Cui Nian Mei Long appeared five minutes ago.

The peak is reached when both Goomei Dragons fall down at the same time.

People seemed to have forgotten that this was a 6v6 gymnastics competition, and were only cheering for this Goodra that had created a miracle and would surely become a legend in the future.

The revelry only came to an abrupt end when the whistle blew on the battlefield, and Longye and Xiachen each recalled their sticky dragons.

So this battle isn't over yet...

The score displayed on the screen above the arena is 3:3.

Each side fielded five Pokémon, three of which had their portraits turned gray, indicating they were no longer able to fight.

Of the remaining Pokémon, Longye's side has a Dragonite and Kommo-o that are not in ideal condition, while Xiachen's side has a Dragapult that is not strong enough, and a Zoroark and Mega Sylveon that are in relatively good condition.

In addition, Longye has another Pokémon that hasn't appeared yet, which is most likely the Kingdra that isn't particularly outstanding in his lineup.

Unbeknownst to them, Xia Chen seemed to have gained the upper hand in this 6v6 all-out battle?

But until the very last moment, no one can say for sure how it will end.

The two Goodra, now unable to battle, were recalled into their Poké Balls, and soon, new Pokémon appeared to take their place.

As expected, it featured Kingdra and Mega Sylveon.

Not only are Dragonite and Kommo-o not in good condition, but they also have a four-fold weakness, so they don't have much of a chance against Sylveon.

…………

Kingdra floats in a bubble constructed of water-type energy—a technique mastered by most water-type Pokémon that have reached a certain level of strength, allowing them to move outside of water.

Otherwise, without a water-themed area, how can a trainer specializing in water-type moves battle?

"King Thorn Dragon, rain!"

The rain weather that Sylveon had previously activated has already stopped, and Ryūno wants to activate it again for Kingdra, whose ability is Swift Swim.
