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

The audience and the referee were stunned.

The former was stunned because he didn't understand Xia Chen's intention in taking back the Immortal Cloth.

The referee was stunned because...you just replaced Milotic, didn't you?

Isn't exchanging Pokémon a blatant violation of the rules?

In all his years as a referee, he has officiated countless top-level matches, and he has never seen such an arrogant trainer.

Even if you are the hero who saved Galar, I will still send you off the field!

Just as the referee was about to pull a red card from his breast pocket, Xia Chen raised his right hand.

On his wrist, the Dynamax Band was radiating a dazzling light, and as energy was injected, the Poké Ball containing Mega Sylveon was also growing larger!

This isn't trading Pokémon, it's Dynamaxing?!

Everyone was stunned, and the referee lowered his hand from the red card.

No, more importantly, Sylveon can Mega Evolve and then Gigantamax?

The theory that Mega Evolution and Dynamax are incompatible—wasn't it you who came up with that?

…………

"Hmm, as expected, it's another thing that's very much Xia Chen's doing."

Caldelia chuckled, "If you discover something beyond your comprehension, don't be surprised or question it. See if Xia Chen did it."

Cynthia sighed, "So, should this be called Max Evolution or Gigantamax? Anyway, the situation is getting a bit bad for Leon..."

Dan Di was indeed somewhat troubled at the moment.

He considered how to deal with Mega Sylveon, and he also considered how to deal with Dynamax Sylveon...

But what the heck is this Gigantamax Sylveon?!

Looking up at the huge and adorable Sylvanas, which resembled a skyscraper, Dan rubbed his temples.

In any case, let's get through this period after Mega Sylveon Dynamaxes first.

He braced himself, preparing to face Sylveon's first Dynamax move.

"Maximum Fighter!"

An eye for an eye, Sylveon chose a Fighting-type move as its first Dynamax move to boost its attack power.

Sylvanas's incredibly vast skill pool ensures that the power of this Giant Punch will be truly remarkable.

On the other side, Dante immediately responded.

"Flame Ace, Acrobatics!"

Although among the eighteen types there is a Ghost type that is completely immune to Fighting types, the key point is... Cinderace can't!

As a second choice, Dan Di could only choose acrobatics with the attribute of flight.

boom--

A massive energy fist descended from the sky, and Flame Ace, which had already transformed into a flying-type creature, withstood the attack without being in particularly bad shape.

After all, Mega Sylveon is still a bit weaker than Cinderace, and even if it Dynamaxes, it can't deal a devastating blow to Cinderace.

Xia Chen paid no attention and continued to shout, "One more time, Maxim Punch!"

Regardless of whether you're a Flying-type or not, whether you can withstand my Max Punch or not, I'll still gain an advantage even if I treat it as a Power-Up Punch.

If you're so capable, then leave me alone and let me unleash three giant punches in a row!

Even in a normal fight, would a normal person allow their opponent to use the Enhanced Punch three times in a row?

Absolutely not!

If the third enhanced punch can be used as close combat, what's the difference between that and being directly pushed away?

Moreover, these are three even more powerful giant fists.

Therefore, Dan Di chose to change his strategy.

"Flash Ace, Will-o'-the-Wisp!"

…………

"Hmm, Leon has changed his strategy. He's no longer worried about whether his opponent will use Max Knock to boost his attack. He's just using Will-O-Wisp to shut down Mega Sylveon's physical attack."

"In this way, even if all three Max Punches are successfully used, Sylveon's physical damage output will be greatly reduced."

Cynthia chimed in, "That's right. If Xia Chen were to switch to Max Inferno in an attempt to become immune to Will-O-Wisp, he would be wasting his precious Max Move, especially since it's raining right now."

"Moreover, this can be considered as indirectly helping Dan Di open up a sunny day. You should know that he also has a fire-type damage dealer in the back row that can evolve into a Y-type Mega Charizard."

"Let's see what choice Xia Chen will make."

As the two female champions analyzed the situation back and forth, Sylvanas Windrunner's second Dynamax move was revealed.

A terrifying, deep purple venom churned in the sky, mingling with the rain and threatening to pour down—

Max Acid that can boost Special Attack!

Xia Chen's idea was simple: if you can block my physical attacks, then I'll just use special attacks to hit you.

Anyway, Sylvanas is a dual-wielder, so she won't play any fancy tricks with you!

The will-o'-the-wisps stubbornly drifted toward the massive Fairycloth under the wash of acid rain, while Cinderace was helpless against this enormous acid poison.

Having just unleashed his Will-o'-the-Wisp, he couldn't immediately replenish his energy and was unable to quickly switch to a Steel-type move that was immune to poison attacks using a move like [Iron Head].

And this enormous acid attack comes in the form of a torrential downpour, so how can you defend against it?

Should we use an umbrella?

That would probably require an umbrella made of steel-based energy to block it.

The highly corrosive toxic energy seeped into his body, and Blaze Ace frowned deeply.

Even with his champion-level skills, he was already feeling the pressure.

However, Cindy's offensive was not over yet—

She has one last chance to unleash a Dynamax move.

Chapter 414: Mugentana's Guest Appearance

Flame Ace was panting heavily, quickly adjusting his physical condition through breathing.

Looking up at the towering Sylveon, whose Gigantamax form seemed to reach almost into the clouds, one could see the steel-type energy within him stirring restlessly.

Whenever Sylveon shows any sign of using Dynamax Acid, Cinderace will use Iron Head to change its type in response.

However, this scenario is too idealistic.

Putting yourself in their shoes, it's understandable that Sylveon would be unlikely to use Max Acid as his final Dynamax move against Cinderace, which has the Freedom ability.

It's highly likely that it will still be a versatile move like Max Airstream that can boost speed.

"Max Magnum Bully!"

Contrary to what Dan had imagined, Xia Chen's final choice was a Dark-type Dynamax move.

The effect is to lower the opponent's Special Defense.

This shift in power, combined with the fact that doing this is even more effective than using Max Acid twice directly, allows Sylveon's Special Attack moves to deal even more damage.

The only drawback is that it becomes ineffective as soon as Dan Emperor removes the Blazing Ace from the field.

But right now, Flame Ace has an attack and speed bonus, so he probably won't want to waste it.

"Flash Ace, Kick Down!"

As expected, Dan didn't switch out Cinderace, but instead directed him to use Fighting-type moves.

Fighting is both effective against and counters Dark-type moves, making it the best choice against Dynamax Darklord.

The only downside is that the damage from a kick depends on the opponent's weight.

Sylveon is known for being delicate and frail, even when it Dynamaxes.

After all, Dynamax is a projection of a Pokémon's energy, and its actual mass remains unchanged.

Cinderace charged towards Sylveon at lightning speed, kicking her Dynamaxed, pillar-like leg without even aiming or anticipating its movement.

One of the drawbacks of Dynamax is that, due to its enormous size, it is virtually impossible to dodge attacks.

However, this also means that virtually no moves can affect a Dynamaxed Pokémon.

He withstood the blow that knocked down the fairy cloth without moving, and then unleashed a massive slam.

A massive amount of malevolent energy surged towards Cinderace like a tidal wave, seemingly trying to engulf it in the deepest, most boundless fear.

This Magnus, constructed from the prototype of the Dark Wave, is actually quite powerful.

Unfortunately, the opponent was also a Pokémon that could change its type, which made the move seem rather unremarkable.

…………

After the three giant moves ended, the super Sylvanas, which was tens of meters tall, returned to its original state under the white light.

Both sides are back on equal footing.

The two elves faced each other from a distance, neither daring to make a move.

Both have the ability to switch attributes, so whoever strikes first is actually at a slight disadvantage.

Xia Chen was the first to think of the key to breaking the deadlock.

Everyone can change their attributes, but your Cinderace's skill pool isn't as large as mine.

Is there any move with a certain attribute that Cinderace would find difficult to counter by changing its attribute, and which would also leave no weakness to be found?

With his superhuman brain working at lightning speed, Xia Chen quickly found the answer.

"Senbu, water cannon!"

Water-type moves are only resisted by Water, Grass, and Dragon types, and can only be countered by Grass and Electric types.

Unfortunately, none of these four types of moves are in Cinderace's skill pool!
