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

Judging from the scene on the battlefield, the fallen Pokémon was undoubtedly Kingdra.

Tsubaki paid the price for underestimating Goodra's strength, but seeing Goodra withstand Dragon Pulse, Scale Shot, and Outrage in succession without seeming to be injured, she fell silent.

Is this thing made of iron?!

Oh, it is indeed a Steel-type Pokémon... but its hardness is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?

Xiaochun felt that she had never encountered a situation where she couldn't defeat Wataru, her lifelong rival and fellow clansman. What was wrong with this guy?

However, now is clearly not the time to lament such things; the most urgent task at hand is to figure out how to get over this wall of despair.

After a moment's thought, Xiaochun decisively threw out the Salamence's Poké Ball.

Salamence isn't exactly her trump card, but after Mega Evolution, it's definitely the Pokémon with the highest damage output in Tsubaki's hands.

A flash of white light appeared, and a deep blue dragon with a pair of magnificent blood-red wings appeared on the battlefield.

Before its form was fully revealed, a high-pitched dragon roar filled with violence swept across the entire area, demonstrating the volatile temper of its owner.

Then, a dazzling sky-blue light shot from Xiaochun's direction toward the Salamence, and the newly appeared dragon was immediately bathed in the super-evolutionary energy that shone with brilliant light.

Xia Chen did not take the initiative to attack, but instead commanded in a deep voice: "Sticky Dragon, hatch!"

Although Mega Salamence is also a high-attack, high-speed Pokémon, Xia Chen does not intend to use the same strategy to deal with it.

Xiaochun is by no means a rigid and mediocre trainer, as can be seen from that half-read taunt.

If Goodra remains as rigid as before when facing Mega Salamence, it's no different from a sitting duck.

Following Xia Chen's command, Nian Meilong crawled into the large steel shell behind him.

Visibly, the steel casing gradually cracked and crumbled, revealing the pure white and fragile enamel underneath.

In exchange for this, a rich orange glow flowed around it, indicating that Goodra's Attack, Special Attack, and Speed ​​were all greatly enhanced!

This is a powerful enhancement move that only a few Pokémon, such as Cloyster, can master: Shell Smash!

Xiaochun didn't seem too surprised; Nyanko-sensei had shown this move before in a previous battle.

It's true that it has outstanding attack power after use, but the reduction in both defenses is also a perfect opportunity for Mega Salamence to finish it off.

…………

"Salamander, Dragon Dive!"

Amidst the dazzling white light of super-evolution, a blood-red figure swiftly pierced the rain-soaked sky, soaring straight into the heavens.

The most distinctive feature of the Mega Evolution Salamence is that its two wings are stuck together, resembling a blood-stained crescent moon.

This made his flight speed even faster.

Wherever his giant, blade-like wings passed, everything in his path would be sliced ​​in two.

At this moment, the crimson crescent moon rose to its peak, its giant blade aimed at the Goomy Dragon that had not yet emerged from its steel shell, and then it suddenly swooped down!

Xia Chen calmly commanded, "Sticky Dragon, Blizzard!"

Even after Mega Evolution, he's still a Flying Dragon that's four times weaker to Ice. When it comes to head-on confrontations, Xia Chen isn't afraid at all.

With a whistling sound, the unique flight posture and huge blood wings minimized wind resistance, and with unparalleled momentum, the Mega Salamence rushed to Goodra before the blizzard even formed.

boom--

The collision of energy and solid metal produced a strange sound, and Salamence's proud crimson wing slashed at Goodra.

The latter, weighing over half a ton, crashed down under the powerful impact, dragged for more than ten meters across the scorched ground by inertia.

The Salamence stopped attacking and instead flapped its blood wings, trying to escape the scene.

Clearly, he was preparing to avoid the approaching blizzard.

But how could Nian Meilong let him finish the fight and run away so easily? She saw her huge body, which had been pinned to the ground, suddenly lifted into the air by a strange force.

The wingless dragon, Goumi, actually managed to fly!

Even Xiao Chun, who had watched Xia Chen's match recordings, couldn't help but twitch at this illogical scene.

But there are too many unscientific things in the Pokémon world, and Xiaochun has no time to study Goodra's flight principles. Seeing the wind suddenly rise in the sky and a faint chill gathering, she suddenly commanded, "Salamander, Brick Break!"

Xiaochun understood that the blizzard covered a very large area, so she hadn't intended to hide. Creating distance was just to buy time so she could unleash her second attack before the blizzard arrived.

In this way, she won't lose out at all, no matter what.

Meanwhile, the audience was in an uproar. Facing the approaching blizzard, the Salamence had actually turned around!

Xiaochun's bold response surprised everyone, even Nianmeilong's eyes flashed with a strange light.

But isn't this exactly what she wanted?

The energy flow within the Nectar Dragon's body was faster, and then, a fierce wind arose and a blizzard suddenly struck!

…………

A fierce wind, seemingly rising from nowhere, swept across the sky, carrying with it a mix of snow and hail, engulfing a large area of ​​the airspace in front of the Nume Dragon!

Every blade, every hailstone, is filled with chilling ice energy, relentlessly eroding the life force of the Salamence that sways and flies through the blizzard.

Undeterred, the latter flew against the wind in a strange, slanted manner to the front of the Goodra. Fighting-type energy condensed on the half of its blood-red wing that was suspended high above, and then it suddenly slashed down.

Break the tile!

As a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Salamence has a significantly larger move pool than Kingdra.

Looking at Steelix's two major weaknesses, Fighting-type has Brick Break and Ground-type has Earthquake. In this respect, it won't be easy for Goodra to become a wall of despair in front of Salamence.

Although this tile-splitting attack was launched from the wings and had a rather unusual form, its damage was not diminished in the slightest.

Under the immense force of the Fighting-type move, Goodra suddenly plummeted from mid-air.

Seeing that the surprise attack had worked, Xiaochun excitedly shouted, "Batalisk, Mount Tai Slam, then Earthquake!"

"Roar!"

Mega Salamence responded with a ferocious roar.

Energy flowed rapidly, and Salamence's entire body, heavy as a mountain, pressed down on Goodra, causing her to plummet.

boom--

The explosion had no energy, yet the ground still shook violently.

Although the two elves weighed only a ton together, under the immense pressure of Mount Tai, they unleashed potential energy hundreds of times greater than their own weight.

The camera zoomed in, only to discover that the ground had been smashed into a huge crater by the two quasi-gods!

One can imagine that if there were any living creatures below, they would definitely be crushed into a pulp. Fortunately, it is a Good Dragon with extremely high defense and vitality.

Even so, a series of rapid and fierce attacks seemed to have rendered this previously lawless guy almost powerless to resist.

The Mega Evolution Salamence has the ability [Flying Skin], which, like Fairy Skin, allows it to convert Normal-type moves into Flying-type moves and slightly increases their damage.

Due to the effects of the flying skin, the damage from that Mount Tai crushing down was even higher than under normal circumstances!

Having finally vented her anger, Xiaochun was completely unaware that Xia Chen had been silent for quite some time, and even less aware that the sticky dragon, pinned down by the Flying Dragon, had its eyes closed and its body emitting a faint glow.

Her heart was burning with fervor, and she shouted loudly, "Continue, earthquake!"

With just two more moves, Nume will surely fall!

Then, defeat Xenbear, destroy Milotic... the equation for victory has been written!

But what Xiaochun didn't expect was that not only did she have to write down the equations, but she also had to be able to solve them...

…………

Salamence did not let go of Goodra, eliminating any possibility of her escape. He stood on the ground with all four feet, and the powerful and abundant ground-type energy flowed wildly, transmitting through the ground.

click-

The first cracking sound of the ground rang out, followed by a second, a third...

Like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, the sounds of an earthquake, resembling the striking of a giant bell or the booming of thunder, gradually grew louder.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the scorched ground, and then wave after wave of tremors crashed against the epicenter of the earthquake.

After a series of uncounterable punches, Salamence could feel the Goodra beneath it growing weaker and weaker.

"Waaah—"

A faint whimper rang out, like the unwilling roar of Nianmeilong.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Xiaochun decisively commanded, "Salamander, final blow, Earthquake!"

The tremors had just ended when the Salamence slammed its claws into the ground again. Just as the energy was being channeled back into the ground, a sudden change occurred!

In the crater created by the crushing force of Mount Tai, the barely breathing Nianmei Dragon suddenly opened its eyes. The faint, almost imperceptible white light emanating from its body instantly burst forth with a radiance as dazzling as the sun!

What followed was an enormous and terrifying aura of energy!

Salamence shuddered violently; despite its naturally arrogant nature, a sense of fear instinctively rose within it.

This is an instinctive reaction of the elf's body.

The energy within his body seemed to be frozen by the cold air, and his entire body was stiff and unable to move. Mega Salamence could only subconsciously lower his head and look into the pit, staring directly at the source of that terrifying aura.

But then he saw that the wretched, defenseless dragon, which he had assumed was no longer capable of fighting back, suddenly flipped itself up.

Her movements were extremely slow, her eyes resolute, as she threw a seemingly ordinary punch at herself, one that appeared to be devoid of skill and speed.

But under the shadow of fear, Salamence was unable to make any move to resist, even though its own trainer was shouting "Use Protect!" from the sidelines of the battle.

The last image left in the pupil was that fist, growing larger and larger until it was almost touching the person.

boom--

With a deafening roar, the massive body of the Salamence soared into the air, like a tattered kite with its string cut.

The crescent-shaped wings gradually shrank, returning to their normal shape as the Salamence crashed to the ground.

Of course, his appearance also changed, returning to a more ordinary look.

Everyone knew what this meant—because it had lost its ability to fight, Mega Salamence had reverted to its Mega Evolution state!

…………

The entire hall fell silent.

With just one punch, the Super Salamence, which was originally in good condition and arrogantly domineering, was instantly killed!
