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

Thus, the appearance of Niu Meilong and the use of her in seclusion all proceeded naturally.

Xiaochun didn't think of this so quickly, because Goodra hadn't had any outstanding performances in this tournament, so she didn't pay much attention to this Pokémon.

…………

As we all know, no matter how powerful a trainer is, they still have ace trainers, main trainers, and backup trainers among their trainers.

If Sylveon is Xia Chen's ace, Milotic, Gardevoir, and Dragapult are his team's top-tier mainstays, while Goodra might be ranked a bit lower.

Just like the red-faced dragon in her team.

So at this moment, Xiaochun didn't take Nianmeilong too seriously.

"Kingdragon, Dragon Pulse!"

Although Goodra is known as the "Wall of Despair" among special attackers, it has only just used its closed-door training to create an impenetrable wall, making its physical attacks seem even more illogical.

Tsubaki decided to test the waters with Dragon Pulse first.

"Sticky Dragon, Meteor Shower!"

Xia Chen's command was even wilder than Xiao Chun's, and he casually unleashed a powerful dragon technique, Meteor Shower!

Sticky Dragon raised her head, which was covered in sticky liquid, and tilted her head back to the sky. In her slightly open mouth, an orange ball of light was rapidly expanding under the continuous flow of energy from Sticky Dragon's body, and then it rose up with a roar.

boom--

The energy ball that had risen to the top suddenly exploded, releasing a torrent of energy that, like the intense heat of the sun, dispelled the dense clouds in the sky.

Unlike ordinary attacks that end with a simple explosion, the meteor shower consisted of dozens of energy balls that plummeted from the sky like meteors, turning even the rain into gold with the overflowing dragon-type energy.

At the same time, bursts of pure dragon-type energy gathered in front of the Kingdra like flowing water, and then suddenly shot out in the form of energy waves.

On its own, this dragon's energy wave is perfectly acceptable, but compared to the meteor shower, it's utterly insignificant.

Because Dragon Pulse is a parallel beam, while Meteor Shower falls from above, these two attacks did not create the expected clash of beams. Instead, they each struck their opponents who could not dodge.

Goodra didn't even try to dodge, while Kingdra had no way to dodge—

Dozens of energy projectiles rained down in succession, almost completely blocking all her ways of dodging; the more she tried to dodge, the more damage she might take.

Rumbling--

The continuous explosions resounded across the battlefield, and the ground, already scorched by the fire, was further blasted into large craters by the impact of the meteor shower.

Beneath the site of the heavily damaged King Thorn Dragon, even the dilapidated foundation stones of buildings were exposed.

If the environment affected by the aftershocks of energy was already like this, the main target, King Thorn Dragon, must have suffered even more.

Its smooth, azure scales were cracked and peeling due to the erosion of dragon energy, making it look extremely disheveled.

On the other hand, the Good Dragon, which was also hit by Dragon Pulse, presented a completely different picture—

Under the protection of that special slime, Goomy looks almost exactly the same as when it first appeared!

Both used Dragon-type special moves, but the difference in skill was immediately apparent!

…………

Xiaochun's expression gradually became serious, and at this moment she had completely put away her previous contempt for Nianmeilong.

This guy's special defense is seriously tough...

What if we switch to physical attack moves?

Just as Tsubaki was about to switch moves to counter the attacker's Wailing Wall, she suddenly realized something very important.

Kingdra's physical attack move pool... seems to have no moves available to fight Goodra.

The Steel Dragon's attribute combination is extremely overpowered. Not only are its weaknesses only Ground and Fighting, but it also has as many as ten resistances.

Looking at the remaining types, Ice-type Kingdra only knows special attack moves like Ice Beam and Blizzard, while Dark and Fairy-types don't know any.

What else can we fight?

Reverse scale?

The side effects are too severe.

Wide-area destruction?

Its power is too small.

In a flash, she remembered a move that wasn't used very often.

Xiaochun suddenly looked up and shouted, "King Thorn Dragon, charge over and use Scale Shot around the Good Dragon!"

Scale Shot is a Dragon-type physical attack move similar to Rock Blast and Frenzy Scratches. It builds up energy and shoots out a random number of scales.

The more scales shot out, the greater the damage.

Because of the loss of scales, the Pokémon's speed will increase after the scale attack, but at the cost of reduced defense.

But with such a large speed difference between the two Pokémon, defense and such become irrelevant.

If you're fast enough, even high-speed stars can hide from you!

In the torrential rain, Kingdra's figure shot out like an arrow, using the lingering smoke from the meteor shower explosions to stealthily appear before Goodra.

The dragon dance's graceful movements afterward are so fast they defy logic!

But this was not his limit. As dragon scales peeled off his body, King Thorn Dragon's speed almost broke the speed of sound!

As he moved in circles around Nianmeilong, he left behind a series of afterimages. These afterimages connected end to end, forming a blue halo with Nianmeilong at its center!

Inside the ring, a dozen or so azure dragon scales shot towards the central, gleaming steel shell and the dull thud of their impact on flesh, creating a dangerous concerto.

At that speed, even ordinary pebbles could penetrate steel plates of average thickness, let alone dragon scales containing terrifying energy.

But when Kingdra slowed down after shooting the first round of scales, he was astonished to find that Goodra had not a single scratch on its body!

how can that be!

King Thorn Dragon opened his eyes wide, his gaze filled with disbelief.

A full fifteen scales—almost the most he'd ever fired at once—and yet...it still couldn't break through Goodra's defense?!

That's a scale-shooting technique!

…………

Thank goodness it's scale-like...

Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Xiaochun doesn't quite understand the [smoke screen] state created by Nyanmei's seclusion.

Moves like Rock Blast and Ice Spike, which attack in multiple hits, can trigger a smoke screen with each hit, meaning that even if the attack appears to hit Goodra, it may actually miss.

The previous Scale Shot, under the influence of the smoke screen, only hit less than ten targets.

In addition, at least half of the blows hit the steel shell behind him, so the Goomy Dragon was naturally not damaged.

Seeing that the Thorn Dragon King had slowed down considerably due to shock, Xia Chen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly shouted, "Strong Whip! Catch him!"

"sticky!"

Goodra, which had been observing Kingdra for a long time, suddenly lashed out its tentacles after receiving the command.

Although she moves slowly, her dynamic vision is by no means sluggish.

Even before Kingdra was circling her at high speed, Goomy had figured out his movement patterns.

Now that the speed has slowed down, catching the real King Thorn Dragon amidst the layers of afterimages is a piece of cake.

With its tentacles darting out like a rabbit, the dazed King Thorn Dragon was now trapped in a cage formed by the tentacles!

The whole process was as easy and pleasant as a frog catching mosquitoes.

Xiao Chun, who was also surprised by the low power of the scale-shooting attack, suddenly realized this.

She cried out urgently, "Dragon King, break free!"

The instruction to break free sounds easy, but it is incredibly difficult to actually do it.

The two seemingly soft but actually incredibly tough tentacles suddenly emitted a shimmering green light.

The colors that represent life and vitality now exude a dangerous aura, and the violent grass-type energy seeps into Kingdra's body like tenacious weeds.

The combined attack of binding and energy erosion left his face contorted in pain.

The defense reduction side effect that Xiaochun previously thought was insignificant turned out to be a foreshadowing, causing the damage to Kingdra to deepen further.

"Reverse Scale!"

The loud and urgent voice reached the battlefield.

Xia Chen, who was in a superior position, would not destroy his own defenses; this was a do-or-die battle for Xiao Chun.

At this moment, reason became the last resort. The Thorn Dragon King's eyes turned bloodshot, and the dragon bloodline hidden deep within him was awakened by this surging power, and then boiled over!

"throat--"

Kingdra, who had remained calm and collected since its appearance, roared to the sky, suddenly unleashing a monstrous force that broke free from the restraints of its tentacles. It then launched a frenzied and chaotic attack on Goodra.

Looking at the seemingly crazed Thorn Dragon King, Xia Chen smiled slightly.

Those who are destined for destruction must first go mad.

The opponent has run out of options.

"Let's end this, Nume Dragon, Dragon Claw."

"sticky!"

The dragon, oblivious to the frenzied attack of the Thorn Dragon King, indifferently raised its hands.

It looked sticky and round, with no aggression, but energy surged from its claws. A huge, dark green dragon claw materialized and waved in the wind.

It then slammed down violently!

The frenzied Thorn Dragon King froze, then suddenly plummeted from mid-air, its crimson eyes finally returning to calm.

Chapter 386 One Punch Surpasses Dragon!

The sound of the whistle signifies the end of an elf's life.
