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

"Eh...eh? A messenger bird?"

The female commentator was a little confused because this elf had never appeared in Liu Bo's lineup before this match!

more importantly.

"Can Delibird be trained to become a Gym Leader's main Pokémon?"

Keep in mind that this Pokémon's average stats aren't even as strong as the second-tier forms of the starter Pokémon...

Dan Di also frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "I don't know much about this senior, Uncle Liu, but since he chose to send out a messenger bird, he must have his reasons."

…………

Everyone was completely baffled by the elf that Uncle Liu had sent out, but Xia Chen's palms began to sweat slightly.

In the special episode, Plum's messenger bird is extremely powerful, even able to help Plum control Ho-Oh!

Xia Chen didn't know if this messenger bird had such strength, but judging from the recursive aura emanating from it, the energy intensity of this messenger bird was almost equivalent to Giovanni's Super Beedrill!

That is, champion level!

At this moment, Dorambaruto had just completed his first dragon dance, and using the baton in this state would completely fail to achieve the tactical objective that Xia Chen originally wanted to achieve.

Xia Chen calmed himself down and decisively commanded, "Try to do the Dragon Dance again! Little Dragon, help provide cover!"

Although Delibird looks like a penguin that is not good at flying, it is a true Flying-type Pokémon. Flying might be a way for Boar to avoid battle, but it is completely useless against Delibird.

Instead of trying to gain altitude, the dragon began its dragon dance, with two smaller dragons guarding it like guardian spirits, keeping a close eye on the messenger bird's every move.

In the world of nature creatures, messenger birds are almost at the bottom of the food chain in the Icefield World. When encountering powerful enemies, their best means of retaliation is simply to use the food they have just gathered as weapons.

But this messenger bird was completely different. It was almost twice the size of the species average, and its calm eyes held a hidden sharpness.

"snowstorm."

As Liu Bo calmly gave his command, the messenger bird leaped into the air, its sharp beak slightly open, and a terrifying blast of cold air shot out from it, freezing the air in front of it almost instantly.

The messenger birds, however, were completely unaffected by the cold snap; in fact, they seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit.

Its wings, so short they could hardly be called bird wings, fluttered slightly, without making much of a move, but in the next instant, a howling wind swept past.

The fierce ice energy in front of the messenger bird was swept forward by the gale and instantly turned into a violent and terrifying blizzard that covered the entire battlefield!

Do you like being a shield?

Try blocking another one like that.

Ice shards and snowflakes swept across the field with the turbulent airflow, and the unpredictable and violent movement left Dorombalut with no chance to avoid damage by following the wind direction.

Feeling the extreme chill of winter's arrival, Dorambaruto instantly realized that he couldn't possibly withstand the blizzard completely.

They summoned the two smaller dragons back to their side, and the three dragons—one large and two small—worked together to erect a protective barrier, barely managing to survive in this blizzard that rivaled a natural disaster.

However, holding onto this move is only a temporary solution, not a life-saving measure. Without subsequent counter-attacks, it merely buys time.

Having fully grasped this point, Xia Chen decided to take a gamble.

…………

"Just before the blizzard ended, Little Dragon launched its attack!"

Having received the instructions from Xia Chen via telepathy, the two little dragons, their eyes resolute, began searching for the messenger bird's location in the blizzard.

Soon, they spotted the messenger bird's striking bright red color amidst the vast expanse of white snow.

The target was locked, the barrier dissipated, and two small dragons, one red and one purple, instantly darted out, flying swiftly towards the messenger bird against the chaotic and violent terrifying phoenix snow.

The messenger bird was completely taken aback that these two little creatures would dare to come out before the blizzard had even subsided, and in its astonishment, it did not react immediately.

Meanwhile, Dorambaruto was completely focused on unleashing Dragon Dance, without taking any precautions.

If Little Dragon's surprise attack fails, he will inevitably fall to the messenger bird's attack.

"One more time, blizzard."

Lyubo chose to ignore the deadly charge of the two Draco Messians, preferring to let Delibird get injured rather than let Draco Barut pass the Baton Pass to Sylveon, who was likely to appear in the back row.

The messenger bird used the same trick again, opening its beak to prepare to unleash a second blizzard.

A rich, icy blue light gathered in its mouth. Just as the terrifying cold current was about to sweep across the battlefield a second time, a streak of crimson lightning swiftly ripped across the sky, hurtling straight toward the messenger bird's beak.

The fully charged Dorgonmesia was like a dazzling sun, and its final destination was precisely the beak of the messenger bird where energy was concentrated!

boom--

An extremely dense and terrifying burst of ice energy suddenly erupted, but this time it failed to create a blizzard—

Because all the energy was blasted onto Dorgonmesia, who was blocking the "energy emission port"!

Chapter 398 Xianbu's Torture Tactics

"The second blizzard! How will Dramberto, who just used Guard, do this...? Eh—Dragonmesia has chosen to take the initiative! But with such a huge difference in strength, can he succeed?"

"Wait... my god! Draco actually used his body to block Delibird! The ice energy failed to form a blizzard, and instead hit Dracomesia all at once!"

On the battlefield, a giant ice sculpture fell from mid-air, and beneath the thick ice surface was a petite dragon that contrasted sharply with its enormous appearance.

Without a doubt, having taken the full brunt of the terrifying blizzard's damage, Dorgonmesia was utterly doomed.

However, this also gave Dorombaluto valuable time to perform his second dragon dance.

The messenger bird, having just unleashed its energy, was powerless to attack again in a very short time. It could only watch helplessly as Dragapult completed its Dragon Dance not far away, its aura suddenly surging!

Uncle Liu was somewhat taken aback. After shaking his head helplessly, he commanded, "Blizzard."

At this point, he was essentially powerless to stop Dorombaruto's baton-passing tactic from being completed.

The purpose of this blizzard was not to cause damage or defeat Dramberto, but to force him to quickly take over the baton and leave the field.

He could guarantee with absolute certainty that if he didn't do this, that cunning little fellow would definitely try to steal the dragon dance again before taking over.

With a renewed sense of security, the messenger bird glanced at the other Doronmesia, who was also eager to make a move, and cautiously picked up the bundle behind it.

If this thing dares to fly into its mouth again, it will definitely slap it with its big foreleg!

Xia Chen on the other side did not take any more greed.

The sneak attack just now caught Liu Bo and the messenger bird completely off guard. To use the same tactic again would be to underestimate their opponents.

Just as the third blizzard swept across the field, Xia Chen, holding a Poké Ball in each hand, seized the opportunity and recalled Dragapult.

"Come back, Dorgon, you did a great job. Now, leave it to your teammates!"

The glow of Dragapult when it was returned to its Poké Ball was not the normal red, but rather the unique orange-yellow of the previous Pokémon.

The light shimmered, paused for a couple of seconds, and after the blizzard's most intense attack had passed, the Poké Ball in the other hand was thrown out.

As expected, the elf that appeared was none other than Sylveon.

With such an important final and such a formidable opponent, Xia Chen had no other Pokémon to choose from besides Sylveon.

…………

Because Xia Chen deliberately delayed the transition between the two Pokémon, by the time Sylveon entered the field, the Blizzard on the battlefield only had a little bit of its remaining power.

For Sylveon, who has high Special Defense and durability, it does not pose a significant threat.

Shaking off the ice shards clinging to his snow-white fur, Xianbu looked up at the messenger bird standing in the sky with a serious expression.

Besides Xia Chen, no one in this world who understands the terrifying nature of this elf better than Sylveon is the one who knows it best.

Five years after that timeline in the previous life, this messenger bird even possessed strength on par with the three legendary birds.

Although it may not seem that strong right now, its formidable power should not be underestimated.

Behind her, the Keystone shimmered, and Xia Chen's spiritual power extended outwards. The wondrous power formed by the combination of these two stirred up the super-evolutionary energy within her body.

Enveloped in intense light, Xianbu's body began to transform.

At the same time, the messenger bird's eyes sharpened, and it folded its wings back to minimize air resistance. Then, it sped towards Senbu like a red missile.

A flash of lightning!

Delibird was already incredibly fast, but with the boost from the energy of Quick Attack, it became even more astonishing. The Mega Evolution light on Sylveon had barely begun to shine when Delibird suddenly appeared in front of him!

The wings of swirling white light unfurled and then slashed down with a deafening roar.

Break the tile!

Liu Bo's choice of this move was very deliberate. On the one hand, the effect of the Reflection Wall that Draco had previously set up was still in effect.

The tile-breaking technique can destroy this obstacle that helps Sylvanas reduce physical damage.

And the second point...

Very few people know that Sylveon, which has just completed its Mega Evolution, has a normal attribute.

And this Brick Break is a Fighting-type move that has twice the strength to counter it!

Snapped--

A sound like shattering glass echoed clearly across the battlefield, and the reflector wall shattered.

Sylveon, who had just completed its Mega Evolution, didn't even have time to unleash its move to change its attribute before being directly struck by the Brick Break.

"Buyi!"

Even with her stubborn nature, which allowed her to control her cries of pain, Xianbu couldn't help but groan in pain.

Xia Chen's expression was solemn.

Mega Evolution Sylveon is a flawless all-around fighter, which means that this Delibird's physical attack power is not much weaker than its special attack power!

However, Xia Chen did not instruct Sylveon to use Ghost-type moves to evade.

The previous battle made Xia Chen realize that Liu Bo also had a style of accumulating advantages by controlling the rhythm and snowballing.

Therefore, he decided to do the opposite!

…………

"Senbu, use Stone Attack!"

Delibird's type is Ice/Flying, and it has a four-fold weakness to Rock.

Xia Chen wants to control the pace of the game through offense!
