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

…………

Meanwhile, Kairos's super evolution has also been completed.

Aside from the more prominent and sharp spikes on the large horn on its head, the most noticeable change is the growth of four red spikes from the shell on its back. When the shell is opened, a pair of transparent blue wings with orange patterns emerge from it.

Super Kairos has gained the ability to fly!

This also prevents it from being hit by air attacks when battling against Volcarona and Dragonite, two Pokémon that can fly.

The first command it received after completing its super evolution was to take off.

"Keiros, take flight! Quick Attack!"

The target of the flash of lightning was obvious: the severely weakened Volcano Moth.

Even with its speed after Butterfly Dance, Volcarona can't outrun Lightning Flash, and it can't hide behind Dragonite to dodge attacks.

Knowing that his opponent intended to forcefully defeat the Volcano Moth, Xia Chen wasn't worried and immediately commanded, "Overheat!"

It's true that Volcano Moths have low vitality, but they can't be taken down with a single flash of lightning.

If you dare to come over, this dish, enhanced by the Butterfly Dance, is as powerful as a meteor shower and doubles your overheating. Can you withstand it?

The [Flame] ability Centipede immediately unlocked Volcarona's seal.

Given the opportunity, it will show the opponent exactly how wrong a choice you made.

Under the resolute and unwavering gaze of the Volcano, Keiros hesitated instead.

The advantage of having the lead in the score became apparent at this moment; even though Volcarona had fallen, there was still another Pokémon behind it.

However, if Mega Kairos is truly weakened by this overheating state, even if it manages to defeat Volcarona, it will most likely be finished off by Dragonite's Stone Slash.

The owners exchanged a glance and decided to try a different strategy.

"Get back behind the Nume-tatsu and use Sword Dance!"

"Nian Meilong, be patient!"

This trainer couple once again demonstrated their amazing teamwork, with Goodra providing cover while Hinox sharpened its blade.

The goal is singular: to deliver a fatal blow to a weakened Volcano Moth.

If Flash of Lightning can't finish the job, what about Flash of Lightning after Sword Dance?

Xia Chen wasn't in a hurry; he simply adjusted his command and said, "Change to hot air!"

While Overheat damage is indeed superior, it is not without its side effects—like Meteor Shower, the Pokémon's Special Attack will be greatly reduced after using Overheat.

Unless it's a truly desperate situation, Xia Chen doesn't intend to overextend himself like this.

So they switched to a range of hot air.

Red laughed when he saw Kairos and Goodra standing close together. "Aren't they going to get hit by my Rock Slide?"

"Dragonite, Rock Slide!"

After two area-of-effect counter moves, it seemed that the gym leader and his wife's tactics had collapsed on their own.

But that was not the case. Instead, Niu Meilong spread his broad arms and pulled Kairos down to his sides.

With a body length of nearly three meters, she was perfectly capable of protecting Kairos, at most only revealing her large horns and a small part of her body.

A scorching hurricane swept by, and heavy boulders crashed down, but Nian Meilong responded without a word.

But judging from her scarred and no longer slippery skin, the damage she suffered was by no means minor.

However, all the sacrifices were worthwhile, as Super Kairos emerged from Goodra's protection, revealing his remarkably tough body that was almost never damaged.

A pair of sharp, terrifying horns were surrounded by a rich orange light, fully exuding an aura of danger.

Xia Chen turned his head almost imperceptibly to look at Crimson and said softly, "When its lightning flashes in a moment, find a way to help me carry it down."

His crimson eyes flashed, then he nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

…………

On the battlefield, Super Kairos, who survived the double blow, stood proudly.

Its pair of thin, almost transparent, blue insect wings flapped at an extremely high frequency.

Immediately, amidst a tooth-grinding buzzing sound, Super Kairos transformed into a white light, its giant horns protruding, and suddenly pounced on Volcarona!

A flash of lightning!

Without a doubt, with the boost from Swords Dance, even Quick Attack, which is almost the weakest of all Pokémon moves, can unleash astonishing power against the terrifying power of the Kerosene.

And there's practically no way to resist it!

Even if they manage to hold on, it will only delay the death of the Volcano Moth.

The fire moth remained expressionless, its crimson wings flapping as it single-mindedly prepared an intense flame in front of it, a flame powerful enough to melt molten iron.

It was as if they didn't take Keiros seriously at all.

But can it really survive under the giant horns of Super Keiros?

The spectators in the stands held their breath in tension, anticipating this crucial and decisive clash.

Not far away, Nume-ryu was also gathering the damage absorbed from the [Endurance] spell.

Once Volcarona falls, Xia Chen can switch to another Pokémon, and the accumulated damage will immediately catch it off guard.

With the help of the Super Kairos who was waiting nearby, they completed the kill.

This is their secret to turning the tide!

That's right, from beginning to end, Goomy never considered that Kairos wouldn't be able to defeat Volcano.

This is the boundless trust they've built over more than twenty years of partnership!

The flash of lightning following that sword dance could definitely kill in one strike!

However, it wasn't just Nian Meilong who trusted his teammates.

Suddenly, a streak of orange light flashed by, heading straight for the Volcano Moth, its speed so fast that it left a trail of afterimages in the air!

Dragonite!

Speedy!

In terms of both power and speed, Quick Attack is superior to Extreme Speed, not to mention Dragonite's Dragon Dance buff.

Unsurprisingly, the orange meteor arrived late but arrived early, suddenly intercepting Super Kairos mid-flight!

The immense force forced Keiros to stop his sprint.

And this became its last move in this match.

Right in front of them, the Volcano Moth, which hadn't retreated an inch from beginning to end, gently opened its eyes, a hint of weariness showing in its azure gaze.

Then, the energy fireball in front of it, which had been condensed to only half a meter in diameter, suddenly exploded!

Chapter 451 Please, have some decency!

On the battlefield, this fireball, with its energy concentrated to the extreme, exploded with a deafening roar, the entire scene resembling a supernova explosion.

Although no one has actually witnessed such a thing firsthand, those who watched the game up close and nearly got blinded by the bright lights felt that if anything had happened, it couldn't be anything more than this.

The energy aftershocks from the overheating triggered the energy protection barrier between the battlefield and the audience, and the ripples created by the energy splashing onto the barrier surprised the audience.

A gym challenge has resulted in a battlefield protection mechanism?

"By the way, what level of skill would it take to achieve this effect?"

Someone in the crowd muttered a question to themselves.

One knowledgeable person replied, "It has nothing to do with that. Even if an amateur-level Pokémon uses a move that hits the audience directly, it will trigger the barrier. But if the move is unleashed in the center of the battlefield... I reckon it should have the energy intensity of an Elite Four member."

Those who received answers to their questions immediately gasped in surprise.

Elite Four level... This Volcarona isn't just a Dojo-level powerhouse?

No, the scariest thing is that this Volcarona was still inside a Pokémon egg on this day last year, right?

This was the sentiment expressed by viewers who were very familiar with Xia Chen's Pokémon. Others, though not so clear about the intricacies, were also amazed by the terrifying nature of this move.

In the center of the battlefield, the intense light that had lasted for nearly half a minute finally dissipated, revealing a scene that left everyone astonished.

Apart from the fat Dragonite covered in wounds barely standing on the ground, Mega Helios and Goodra, which was standing a little further away, had both lost their ability to fight and were lying on the ground!

Super Kairos, who had just appeared and was in almost full condition, and Goodra, the Great Wall Special Defense, both fell down?

This outrageous scene caused another uproar at the opposing side of the field, where hundreds of spectators were watching.

It's clearly not an area-of-effect attack, so how can it still hit two targets at once?

What incredible power that must be!

People couldn't help but turn their gaze to the Volcano moth, whose crimson wings were noticeably less vibrant and whose expression seemed somewhat weary, as if they were looking at a monster.

All the words I could say eventually boiled down to a single, similar sentiment—

All I can say is, she truly is Xia Chen's fairy!

…………

Sigh—

As the final whistle blew, this special gym challenge came to an end.

Xia Chen and Chi Hong naturally obtained the Tiannan Dojo badge without any trouble.

These are all the main Pokémon of the Veiled Gym Leader. If they still can't get the badge, the Tiannan Gym might be suspected of having shady dealings.

As a top influencer on the internet today, Xia Chen's relatively rare doubles match was also uploaded online, and the uploader was not even a spectator at the scene, but the gym owner himself.

The official production made the viewing experience of this match excellent, no different from the broadcasts of other major events.

However, the most discussed topics among viewers were not Xia Chen and Volcarona, but Red, his Venusaur, and Dragonite.

Anyone with eyes can see that the Dragonite's role in this doubles match was no less important than that of the Volcarona.

Rock Slide deals damage, tanks act as the front line, and the final, most crucial move is a lightning-fast interception of Super Kairos's lightning strike.

Although the final overheating attack of the Volcano was spectacular and truly amazing.
