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

So, is it possible to seek a breakthrough in this area?

Xia Chen pondered, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

…………

Xia Chen, who possesses superpowers, thinks extremely fast. By the time he came to his senses, Snorlax's Crunch had just ended.

"Snorlax, keep Crunching!"

Seizing the opportunity, since Crunch was effective, Crimson immediately commanded Snorlax to continue chasing and biting.

The fox spirit understood immediately, and water vapor condensed and surged in front of it, forming a lifelike water dragon that looked somewhat similar to Milotic.

The Pokémon learned many moves and skills from her, and in return, they taught Zoroark their best moves.

Sylveon's Moon Power, Gardevoir's Psychic Blast, and of course Milotic's signature Hydro Pump.

The two Pokémon were so close that there was no need to aim; the water cannon released from Zoroark's hand shot towards Snorlax.

In an instant, the incredibly powerful water cannon shot into Snorlax's wide-open mouth.

This description sounds somewhat erotic, but it is very painful for the victim, Snorlax.

The powerful flow of water rushed into Snorlax's mouth, almost bursting its throat.

Snorlax only had two options: either close its mouth and drink all the water, or spit out all the water and then close its mouth.

Regardless of which path you take, it all leads to the same result: abandon Crunch and continue attacking Zoroark.

This was the breakthrough Xia Chen was looking for—

Unable to use its own type's normal moves, Snorlax will definitely continue to use its super-effective Dark-type move, Crunch.

Based on this prediction, blocking its mouth with a water cannon is the most direct and effective method.

Despite its reputation as a glutton, Snorlax's large belly might not be able to hold all the water from its Hydro Pump.

Its instinct for self-preservation made it subconsciously stop using the chewer, and then it heard the trainer's command voice behind it.

"Snorlax, breathe fire!"

Snorlax was slightly taken aback upon hearing the command.

The [Spray] move is quite special. It has no effect under normal circumstances and must be paired with a pre-movement move, [Charge].

When a Pokémon uses a charged move, it enters a [Charging State], which increases its physical and special defenses. It can store up to three "charged energy" charges. Pokémon can also use [Swallow] or [Spit] to deal with the charged energy depending on the situation on the field.

Swallowing it restores health and stamina, while spitting it out deals damage.

The more energy you accumulate beforehand, the better the effect.

It's a bit strange that Snorlax didn't use any [Charge] moves, yet Red made it [Spit] them out.

But Snorlax, who had perfect chemistry with him, instantly understood the trainer's intention—Red wanted him to expel water from his body in the form of a spray attack, thereby damaging Zoroark!

…………

After understanding the intention, Snorlax immediately did as instructed.

With its internal energy circulating, Snorlax took a deep breath and then suddenly exhaled.

The massive amount of water that had just been forcibly swallowed suddenly burst out, even more violently than the previous water cannon!

Snorlax neutralized Zoroark's attack with an incredible [Eject].

Xia Chen had no intention of giving Snorlax any breathing room and continued to command, "Thunder Punch!"

Although Zoroark's dual-wielding build is balanced in both physical and special attacks, the boosting effect of Swords Dance is still active, and Snorlax has a very high Special Defense. As a result, Zoroark's physical attack moves will be much more effective.

With a light step, Zoroark leaped up, dodging the gushing backflow of water cannons.

Bright, dazzling lightning crackled violently across Zoroark's paws, making him appear much faster and leaving a trail of afterimages behind him.

"Good timing!"

Crimson shouted loudly, "We'll join in too! Flame Fist!"

"Kirby!"

A resolute expression appeared on Snorlax's chubby, round face. It raised its fist, which was almost as big as Zoroark's head, and a ball of blazing flame suddenly rose from it.

Although it's a melee fight between tough guys, Crimson still has a little trick up his sleeve; his Flame Fist has a chance to inflict a [burn] status.

If they're lucky enough to actually appear, Zoroark's physical attack power will be significantly reduced, while its special attack is Snorlax's forte...

Unfortunately, despite their brilliant plans, luck was not on Crimson's side.

The two fists collided, and the collision of lightning and flames produced a deafening roar.

The dazzling light was so bright that the spectators watching the game intently were almost blinded and instinctively squinted.

When I opened my eyes again, the results of the battle had already been decided.

Despite her slender build, Zoroark managed to overpower Snorlax, whose weight was almost dozens of times hers, in this contest of strength, knocking it to the ground!

The scene was so crazy it was almost unbelievable.

In reality, Zoroark's strength was already far superior to Snorlax's, and it also had the added advantage of Swords Dance.

If Snorlax hadn't turned around and used its belly to carry off the Brick Breaker, it would have been lying on the ground half a minute earlier.

Defeated in a direct confrontation, the resilient Red quickly adjusted its strategy: "Snorlax, Rock Tomb!"

Xia Chen retaliated without backing down, "Zoroark, Arm Hammer!"

Zoroark, who had only taken a few steps back during the exchange, naturally took the initiative. With her arms together, a powerful Fighting-type energy condensed into a weapon resembling a battle axe on her arms, which she then slashed down!

Snorlax, lying on the ground, nimbly flipped over and used its fat-filled belly to withstand the lower arm hammer attack.

Snorlax's round belly, as if springy, dipped in dramatically before quickly bouncing Zoroark's body back up.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Snorlax did a Magikarp jump and managed to get up from the ground.

"Kirby!"

Snorlax, having stood up again, patted its belly and roared at Zoroark, whether to vent its emotions or to cheer itself up, it was unclear.

Xia Chen watched in amazement; this guy's tenacity... was simply too strong.

However, the fatigue in one's body is impossible to hide.

Xia Chen's mind raced, and suddenly he had an idea to completely defeat Snorlax.

…………

As soon as Zoroark landed safely after being bounced off his belly, he looked up and found that the sky was filled with floating, blocky rocks all around him.

The rock formations slowly rotated around Zoroark's body, like an asteroid belt encircling a planet.

The rocks were so numerous and densely packed that there was no room for Zoroark to move around.

"Kirby!"

With a wave of its hand, Snorlax unleashed a barrage of nearly a hundred rocks that crashed down on the center, seemingly burying Zoroark alive.

Xia Chen suddenly shouted, "Zoroark, use Phantom Assault!"

The use of this move was not unexpected.

Although the accompanying attack after it comes out will definitely miss, there are two advantages to using it at this time.

Firstly, it allows her to avoid rock formations that slow her down, thus maintaining her absolute speed advantage.

Secondly, it can also directly shorten the distance between the two Pokémon.

A glint flashed in his crimson eyes, as if he had been waiting for this command for a long time, and he decisively shouted, "Drum your belly!"

While stealth attacks can shorten the distance, the problem remains: even if you manage to get close, you can't hit me immediately.

By the time you can use your moves to attack again, Snorlax will have already completed Belly Drum.

Given Snorlax's attack power and Zoroark's physique, even the most ordinary Farmer's Three Punches would be too much for Zoroark to handle.

As soon as Crimson finished speaking, Snorlax began to act.

Its round belly throbbed up and down like a toad, and at the same time, the orange glow on its body grew stronger and stronger, and its aura rose steadily.

Once the upgrade is complete, the situation will absolutely be reversed!

But for some reason, Crimson suddenly had a bad feeling, as if he had overlooked something.

What is it...?

He observed the field; the rocks had already crashed down, and the crisp sound of their impact confirmed that the rock barrier had indeed missed its target.

So Zoroark did indeed use a stealth attack to escape...

Wait, that's not right, there's a missing link!

Who says that only by using a stealthy ambush can one escape from the rocky blockade?

Upon closer inspection, there was no dissipated ghost-type energy in the air; instead, there was... the aura of ground-type energy!

It wasn't a stealthy attack, it was digging a tunnel!

Crimson suddenly realized what was happening.

The soil on the rocky ground, constantly undulating with minute movements, also confirms this view.

"Snorlax, Earthquake!"

It was too late to remedy the situation at this point; Snorlax's Belly Drum had reached its final stage, and there was no way to change its moves on the fly.

Meanwhile, from beneath the ground where Snorlax stood, a rumbling tremor grew ever closer.

Finally, just as Snorlax's Belly Drum was fully charged...

boom--

Zoroark burst from the ground beneath Snorlax's feet, its claws brimming with immense, powerful Ground-type energy!

This is the moment when Snorlax is at its strongest, but also undoubtedly its weakest!

Because whether in the game or in real life, the side effect of Belly Drum is the worst of all enhancement moves—it directly reduces your maximum health by half!

Before using Belly Drum, Snorlax's stamina was already showing signs of weakening, and after using Belly Drum, it dropped to zero!

This is a trap that uses [Rock Blockade] to obscure the view and then proceeds!
