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

In the arena, the passionate shouts of the commentators provided commentary on this exciting match.

"No wonder Draco had the chance to use Phantom Strike when facing Kangaskhan's Crunch but didn't. It turns out it was left here. This Phantom Strike didn't dodge any moves, but it was much more effective than dodging Brick Break!"

"But then again, Phantom Strike is a Ghost-type move, so it can't hurt Normal-type Kangaskhan either. That's why Aoki subconsciously ignored it."

"Such a stealth attack technique can probably only be seen on Xia Chen's Dragapult Pokémon, because no other Pokémon has such a powerful support as these two Dragapults!"

call out--

On the battlefield, a sharp whistling sound rang out, and two figures, one red and one purple, flew past Doronbaluto like fighter jets.

The two tracks follow different routes, but their destinations are exactly the same—the baby kangaroo that leaped from its mother's shoulder.

Full speed ahead!

100,000 volts!

The two attacks that had been blocked by the mother Kangaskhan earlier were launched at the baby Kangaskhan again.

This time, however, there were no obstacles or protections in front of her.

"boom--"

The explosive sounds of the two attacks erupted almost simultaneously.

Without its mother's protection, the little kangaroo had no reason to continue, and its body, which had been leaping into the air, plummeted to the ground.

Then came the mother kangaroo's grief-stricken roar.

"Kanga!"

Even those who don't understand Elvish can easily grasp the meaning of the roar—

How dare you hurt my child!

Kangaskhan's eyes were bloodshot, like a Dragon-type Pokémon that had used Outrage. In a sense, Kangaskhan was indeed her "Outrage".

At this moment, the parental love trait turned into an "anger acupoint." The mother kangaroo scooped up the unconscious baby kangaroo and put it back in her pouch. Immediately, her body glowed white, and she strode towards the two hateful Doronmesia.

Ultimate Impact!

The pain of losing its offspring caused Mega Kangaskhan to lose its mind. Without waiting for its trainer Aoki's command, it unleashed all its energy and used the move that could deal the most damage.

Although its side effects are so severe that it can cause the user to become immobile within seconds due to energy overload.

Aoki couldn't let that happen, so he decisively took her out of the Poké Ball before Kangaskhan could charge, letting his angry mother calm down inside the ball.

…………

Because the recall of the Kangaskhan happened so suddenly, Aoki rubbed his temples with a worried expression, pondering who would be the best replacement.

After thinking for two seconds, I finally decided to entrust this difficult situation to my most trusted partner.

If that doesn't solve the problem either, I'll just have to go home and obediently go back to work.

The thought of such consequences sent a chill down Aoki's spine.

Going back to work early or something like that? No way!

Naturally, Aoki's fighting spirit became stronger than ever before. He forcefully threw the Poké Ball that had been with him the longest and shouted, "I'm counting on you, Staraptor!"

A Starhawk with a similar temperament to Aoki and an almost identical hairstyle appeared on the battlefield.

Whether to motivate himself or the Starhawk, Aoki shouted, "Let's give it our all so we don't have to go back to work!"

Hearing this, Xia Chen smiled slightly and shook his head, wondering if his boss, Ye Ci, was watching the game...

However, to win the game, simply having the determination to avoid going to work is far from enough.

Xia Chen regained his composure and whispered, "Dance of the Dragon!"

Staraptor is Aoki's ace Pokémon. Since it doesn't have Mega Evolution, the Crystallization skill will definitely be reserved for it. That's why Xia Chen was so confident and arrogantly used Dragon Dance.

As expected, Aoki straightened his meticulously styled hair on the other side of the battlefield, then took out a crystal bead from somewhere, which shone brightly and shone on the Mk Eagle.

The crystal-clear surface of the Starhawk is covered with a special armor, and on its forehead, the symbol representing the Crystal attribute is an abstract wing—the symbol of the Flying type.

"Charge forward at high speed, then attack with your wings!"

With his ace Pokémon in hand, Aoki was extremely confident. After completing the crystallization, he sent out Staraptor to launch an attack.

No time was wasted in closing the distance; high-speed movement was used to increase speed.

The Tailwind effect released by Brave Eagle at the start has long since dissipated, and the opponent, Dragapult, is a Pokémon known for its speed, making this Agility move essential.

As expected of Aoki's ace Pokémon, Staraptor's attack speed was incredibly fast. Within just one or two seconds of closing the distance, it had already completed the two consecutive commands given by Aoki.

The wind howled past, and the blue-white energy flowing on the Mk Eagle's pair of huge wings formed a beautiful yet dangerous pattern, which suddenly appeared in front of Dorambaruto.

Two smaller dragons led the way, while a larger dragon brought up the rear. The three dragons gathered their energy, arranged themselves into formation, and prepared to lure the enemy into their trap.

Aoki was slightly puzzled. Wasn't Xia Chen just showing great care for those two little dragons? Why was he now willing to let them take the lead?

The opponent's unusual performance made Aoki fall into deep thought, but his thinking speed was definitely not as fast as the Starhawk's attack speed.

…………

With the enhancement of Taijing's flight, even a simple wing attack is incredibly powerful, let alone against two Doron Mesias.

With a swipe of its wings from the left and right, the Starhawk ruthlessly took down the two "suicide" Doronmesia, though it was also injured by their attacks.

It's not that it's completely painless, but it certainly doesn't have much of an impact.

But just as Staraptor, having overcome all obstacles, was using its remaining Flying-type energy to pursue Dragapult, a red light flashed, and the enormous Ghost Dragon suddenly disappeared, along with the two Dragapult cubs that had lost their ability to fight.

The audience was momentarily stunned.

Xia Chen changed his Pokémon too?

What was the point of the dragon dance just now? We should have used this opportunity to deal more damage.

But Aoki suddenly thought of something.

Xia Chen did indeed change his Pokémon, but he didn't switch directly; he used Baton Pass instead!

Seeing Sylveon emerge from the Poké Ball, surrounded by orange light, Aoki's heart sank.

Is this guy really that cautious?

Dragapult was in pretty good condition, so why was he forcibly replaced with an Ace Pokémon?

Aoki actually understood the deeper reason why Xia Chen did this—the duration of the inherited ability would not be reset.

In other words, if Draco uses Baton Pass when Dragon Dance is about to end, Sylveon will have very little time left.

This is a piece of knowledge about Pokémon battles that isn't too obscure.

Aoki understands the reasoning.

But the problem is... does this guy really need to win that badly?!

Watching Sylveon undergo its Mega Evolution and sensing Xia Chen's determination to win the match, Aoki secretly made a decision.

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?

"Starhawk, fight to the death!"

These words shocked everyone present.

There's no other reason than that this move, which is mastered by very, very few Pokémon—no more than twenty—is just too... awesome.

Desperate Strike – A special fighting-type move that involves desperately attacking the opponent, literally meaning "desperately," because after using it, the user will definitely lose the ability to fight and fall into a near-death state.

However, at the same time, the opponent will also fall into the same situation.

In short, may heaven and earth live as long!

Generally speaking, this kind of move is the ultimate move used when facing an irreversible disadvantage.

Aoki actually made Starhawk, who had just appeared and was in full condition and stamina, fight to the death?

Chapter 390 Eighteen years old, a dojo master, just defeated the Elite Four.

(Sorry for the small output this weekend due to laziness; I'll be updating a lot more this week!)

No one could understand this desperate act of releasing power so prematurely, except for Aoki himself.

He knew perfectly well that the best opportunity to use his ultimate move against Sylveon was when she Mega Evolved.

While the "Desperate Struggle" move has a powerful effect comparable to "living as long as heaven and earth," it has two insurmountable limitations.

Firstly, Pokémon with low energy intensity cannot be effective against Pokémon with high energy intensity. Secondly, the rule that Ghosts are immune to Fighting cannot be ignored.

The first point is correct; Starhawk, as Aoki's ace, has an energy level that is definitely higher than Sylvanas's.

But the latter... After Sylveon Mega Evolves, its Free Spirit-like ability allows it to switch to Ghost-type at any time, perfectly avoiding this desperate move.

Aoki admitted he didn't have the ability to outmaneuver a superpowered individual in terms of reaction speed during a battle.

Therefore, the only time to use the "Desperate Strike" technique is before Sylveon completes its Mega Evolution!

Although Mk Eagle did not understand this point, his tacit understanding from twenty years of working closely with Aoki meant that he did not question this order, which was tantamount to a suicidal charge.

With its wings spread wide, propelled by the powerful energy of high-speed movement, Staraptor's massive body streaked across the sky, hurtling toward Sylveon, who was enveloped in the white light of Mega Evolution.

To fight to the death means that the spirit must have the courage and determination to have no way out and to hold nothing back.

In a state of full-force exertion, the sudden burst of energy completely ignited the Mk Eagle. Its dark gray body was infected by a blood-red aura, and its rainbow-like momentum was mixed with a touch of tragedy.

Fight for your life!

If this move hits, both Sylvanas and Starhawk, who just appeared, will be immediately unable to fight!

It not only distinguishes between superior and inferior, but also determines life and death.

Aoki's extremely frantic commands left all the spectators bewildered, but also somewhat intoxicated—

Such an exciting competition is a rare sight!

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the two beams of light, one red and one white, merged into one.

The expected intense light or deafening explosion did not occur; instead, the battlefield was eerily quiet.

Aoki's heart sank even further on the sidelines.

A desperate gamble... failed?
