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

At this moment, the barrier dissipated, and the pursuit resumed. He was helpless against this 100,000-volt attack and could only watch helplessly as the brilliant electric dragon gradually flew closer and struck... Guleton.

At the critical moment, Gu Leton, who had just been saved by Xia Chen, suddenly turned around and used his own body to take the blow for Xia Chen.

Although it has twice the electrical resistance, given the significant difference in strength, this 100,000 volts is not something that Guleton can easily withstand.

Xia Chen watched as Gu Leton's face contorted in a grimace from the electric shock, feeling both amused and touched.

However, there was no time to be moved at this moment, so Leighton could not be electrocuted for nothing. Taking advantage of the "dragon flesh barrier" in front of him to shield him from 100,000 volts, Xia Chen immediately rushed out.

…………

In speed mode, it travels quickly, then switches to attack mode half a second later, revealing its full sharpness. The entire attack process is smooth and seamless.

Before Millerton could react, he saw the monster hurtling towards him like a sharp sword.

It retreated repeatedly, trying to dodge, but it was no match for the monster's speed.

The colorless and formless super-energy, at extreme speed, slices through the air like a sharp blade, producing a piercing sound that hurts the eardrums.

Xia Chen held his breath and accelerated again. Deoxys's exclusive move, [Mental Charge], finally pierced Milton's body like a sharp sword.

“Mira——”

Xia Chen heard Millerton's roar of pain as he wished; the pained cry, mixed with a few electronic synthesized sounds, seemed to contain endless rage.

But this was not the end. After finishing his attack, Xia Chen disengaged and immediately lowered his body to make room. Behind him, Gu Leton, burning with crimson energy, raised his hand and launched a dragon claw attack.

Millerton, who had just been pierced by that spiritual sword, was caught off guard and had no chance to resist the dragon claw that followed.

As the dragon's claws, doubly restrained, slammed down, another shrill roar rang out.

Even someone as strong as Millerton was somewhat stunned by the series of heavy blows he had suffered.

Having reversed the situation, Xia Chen was no longer as impatient as before. He frowned slightly, pondering something—

Why does Milton feel pain?

Having witnessed firsthand that Iron Arm, another paradoxical species of the future, is controlled by a chip, it is inconceivable that a pain perception system would be implanted into such a being.

However, Xia Chen hadn't yet managed to defeat the large, purplish-red lizard in front of him, and he didn't have time to think about it. He quickly gathered his energy and rushed forward to take over from Gu Leton and beat the water dragon.

While the previous mental surge was extremely powerful, like the meteor shower, it also had the side effect of significantly reducing the user's special attack ability.

Therefore, Xia Chen used the physical attack move Mental Shock this time.

He also wanted to use Ice, Fairy, or Dragon-type moves that could counter Milton, but unfortunately, Deoxys didn't know any of them.

Fortunately, Psychic-type moves are not blocked by opponents, and with STAB boosts, Psychic Strike's damage is also considerable.

Deoxys and Milton's relay-like coordination left Milton unable to retaliate, forcing him to use his skills to block damage while retreating into the thundercloud-shrouded valley.

…………

Although he didn't know whether Millerton could unleash his full power there or recover from his injuries quickly, Xia Chen understood that neither of these would be good for him.

So he immediately stopped the pursuit and instead focused his energy to release the barrier.

Strictly speaking, this is not a technique; its function is merely to isolate a separate, enclosed space.

Xia Chen had used this technique before when facing the Galaxy team at Daguo Lake, and he was even more adept at it this time.

Soon, an invisible, spherical, transparent barrier, like an octagonal cage that could not be entered or exited, surrounded Milton in the sky, and of course, it also included Xia Chen and Milton.

The winner and loser will be revealed in this cage from which no one can escape.

Milton was undoubtedly the first to lose confidence. After crashing into this invisible and transparent wall, its first reaction was not to turn around and fight back, but to unleash its moves in an attempt to forcefully break through the barrier.

A barrier is called a barrier because it is not so easy to break down.

Judging from the strength shown in the movie The Visitor of the Sky, this psychic barrier could withstand Rayquaza's impact for quite a while when it covered an entire city, let alone the fact that the area covered at this time is just a sphere with a radius of no more than 100 meters.

The 100,000 volts were unleashed, but Millerton only received the response that he failed to penetrate the enemy's armor.

Behind them, Deochis and Guleton had already closed in.

What followed was, as expected, a mental shock and the dragon's claws.

boom--

Within this energy barrier that isolates everything from the outside world, the sounds caused by the explosive impact of the attacks are even more deafening.

The aftershocks of energy spread continuously outwards from Millerton, the epicenter of the explosion, creating ripples on the transparent barrier of the fortress.

Energy knows no distinction between friend and foe. These two attacks not only caused tons of damage to Millerdon, but the barrier was also significantly damaged in the aftershocks of the explosion.

Despite the excruciating pain, Millardon astutely noticed this—

Perhaps, I can use those two guys' moves to break through the barrier and escape from here!

This is the best solution Milton can think of in the short term.

Having made up his mind, Milton stopped trying to break through the barrier and instead turned to face the enemy.

Thus began a protracted tug-of-war.

…………

Xia Chen naturally realized what Millerton could discover the instant the aftershocks destroyed the barrier.

However, he had no way to deal with it. Could he just give up the attack?

The only option is to use physical attacks that rely on physical contact and control the accuracy of those attacks to minimize damage to the barrier.

The good news is that the barriers are being worn down much slower than we thought.

The bad news is that Milton's physical exertion is also progressing much more slowly than he expected.

The worse news was that, after only ten minutes or so of combat, Xia Chen's energy core had already consumed more than half of its energy.

He wasn't the real Deoxys after all; his energy reserves were far less than those of a true legendary Pokémon.

The same thing happened in the last battle against Arceus the Giant; due to insufficient energy, he withdrew from the battlefield early.

Other legendary spirits can fight for hours without stopping, but with Xia Chen, let alone hours, he can only last for half an hour at most.

There are only two options now: either finish the battle quickly and try to severely injure Millerton before running out of energy, or stop and call it quits.

The former is high-risk, high-reward, while the latter has zero risk, but all the previous efforts will naturally be wasted.

Without much time to think, Xia Chen immediately made a decision—fight!

Beat them until Millerton submits.

With the direction set, the plan naturally had to be changed. After a moment of rapid thought, Xia Chen transmitted his voice to Gu Leton: "Change tactics, I'll cover your reinforcement."

The best way to break the deadlock is to strengthen. Deoxys's energy will most likely be exhausted in ten minutes, so the most suitable one to strengthen at this time is naturally Guleton.

Although he didn't immediately understand Xia Chen's intentions, Gu Leton didn't hesitate at all. He stopped the dragon claw he was about to unleash and instead focused his energy to activate the enhanced sword dance.

Seeing that Guleton was very cooperative, Xia Chen did not continue to launch a large-scale attack, but instead took the initiative to switch to a defensive stance, quietly guarding Guleton.

Millerton had no idea about Xia Chen's current state. It was completely unprepared for Xia Chen's sudden change in rhythm and was momentarily unsure whether to attack or defend.

After hesitating for a while between what was in front of him and what was behind him, Millerton suppressed the idea of ​​taking this opportunity to break through the barrier and instead focused his energy.

In an instant, countless golden lightning bolts exploded outwards, indiscriminately attacking everything around them: Deoxys, Gruton, and the barriers separating the inside from the outside.

Move, Parabolic Charge – Indiscriminately attacks all surrounding Pokémon, and Milton can recover half of the damage dealt as HP!

…………

The reason it made this choice is simple.

Therefore, with Leighton strengthening his defense and Deoxys defending, this all-around offensive and defensive move is the best choice at this moment.

Xia Chen remained unmoved, conjuring a super-powered barrier to block Gu Leton's path.

Milton's idea is good, but the premise is that the move can also deal damage.

Clearly, this high-tech lizard from the future had no idea how tanky Deoxys in its defensive form could be.

Countless brilliant bolts of lightning darted wildly through the barrier like serpents, standing right in the center like two live targets. Yet Xia Chen and Gu Leton remained as immovable as mountains, allowing the raging electric energy to explode before the super-power barrier.

Millerton frowned, the fact that his body's life force had not recovered much was a stark reminder that the parabolic charge hadn't done much damage at all.

Most of the plans fell through, but the only consolation was that the super-energy barrier around them, which had absorbed most of the chaotic currents, was showing signs of imminent collapse.

Just as Millerton was about to turn his gun on the barrier, he saw that the monster in front of him, after blocking the attack, did not retaliate, but instead reinforced the barrier!

Reinforce this super-powered barrier that resembles an octagon!

Chapter 364 The Emergence of a New Phenomenon: Too Crystallization!

Millerton was stunned; it found itself in an extremely awkward situation.

Unable to fight back or escape, the only thing it seemed to be able to do was wait for Guleton to finish its enhancement and then let it slaughter it.

In a normal elven battle, he would probably be ready to surrender by now, but that is something Milton would never do.

To surrender to Guleton is worse than death for it.

If all else fails, I'll have to go back to that place I hate...

Milton gazed into the distance at the great hole in the Padia Crater, his eyes gleaming with contemplation.

Regardless of what happens next, right now, Millerton needs to figure out how to minimize his energy loss in order to get through this period.

While he was thinking, Milton had already completed its first sword dance, which was good news for Milton.

Although Sword Dance provides a greater boost than Dragon Dance, losing the speed bonus from Dragon Dance means that one's speed may soon surpass that of Guleton.

Milton clung to the edge of the ramparts, trying his best to recover the strength and energy he had just used up during the battle, preparing to be beaten up and then run away.

Actually, for legendary Pokémon, especially one of this level, dying is not an easy thing.

The worst outcome would be nothing more than suffering extremely serious injuries, like Guleton did half a year ago, and experiencing a temporary drop in strength.

Even so, it will take at most a few more years of recuperation to recover.

Compared to their long, almost endless lives, they seem like a drop in the ocean.

As the saying goes, fortunes change every thirty years. If nothing unexpected happens, the cycle of love and hate between the two spirits will continue forever, or they will each return to their original worlds.

What it didn't know was that Leighton's trip was not just about avenging the grudge from six months ago.
