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

Although it carries the name of a legendary elf.

In the game, Silvally was developed by the Aether Foundation to deal with Ultra Beasts, but it eventually ended up in Gladion's hands.

So, upon closer examination, it's perfectly normal for Gladion in this world to have a Silvally.

Over there, Gladio showed no intention of launching an attack, seemingly still waiting for the answer to this question.

Xia Chen smiled and brushed it off with a casual "You'll find out later."

Seeing this, Gladion stopped worrying and took out a light gray disc from the storage ball at his waist, tossing it toward Silvally.

Xia Chen knew that this was the storage disc used to activate the [AR System], which could change the attributes of Silvally. This storage disc was probably a Rock-type Pokémon that was four times stronger than Volcarona.

It's still a battle against opposing elemental attributes.

Xia Chen looked at the fire moth and asked with some concern, "Should we continue?"

Although Volcarona ultimately prevailed, there's no doubt that Lycanroc's Rock Smash put considerable pressure on its relatively fragile build.

The Silvally, transformed into a Rock-type Pokémon, would be even stronger than Lycanroc, and Xia Chen didn't want Volcarona to bear too much of the burden.

The fire moth naturally responded with a firm nod.

The expected answer made Xia Chen smile slightly. Although Volcarona was usually a bit introverted, on the battlefield, its desire for victory was no less than that of any other Pokémon.

He shouted, "Fine! Then, use Ultimate Drain!"

Since the goal is to defeat Silvally, the first step is to bring both sides to a similar starting point.

Therefore, Ultimate Drain, a Grass-type special move that can restore one's physical strength, is the perfect choice.

If it hits, the damage from Butterfly Dance and Ultimate Drain, boosted by elemental advantage, will definitely be significant.

"Sword Dance!"

Gladion didn't seem to care about the Ultimate Drain, and instead boldly chose the more rewarding Sword Dance Enhancement.

Xia Chen frowned slightly. Compared to the first match, Grazio's coaching style had changed almost completely.

It's like... she went from being an incredibly aggressive Nemo to a somewhat timid rookie trainer.

There is only one reason for this change.

Xia Chen gazed at the composed and dignified silver companion beast, and a slight thought stirred within him.

This legendary Pokémon is definitely a level stronger than the Lycanroc from before!

Chapter 500 Super Diancie VS Silvally

As Xia Chen became more alert, he had already engaged the two elves on the battlefield.

To be precise, it was the Volcarona, in its more weakened state, that initiated the attack on Silvally, which was preparing its sword dance.

Dozens of silken threads emerged from its mouthparts, connecting Volcano and Siamese Fighter. Amidst the shimmering green light, Volcano, having absorbed its opponent's energy, was noticeably in much better condition.

While Gladion's choice of the Rock-type Storage Disk would maximize its threat to Volcarona's dual-type Volcarona, it inevitably introduces the Grass-type weakness.

With double the resistance, Volcarona's condition has improved considerably.

But not enough.

Xia Chen's expression grew even more somber.

A standard hexagonal warrior like Silvally demonstrates its overall quality through its special defense stat.

This Silvally's strength is already very close to Champion level!

Although it benefited from the artificial legendary Pokémon, it also demonstrates Gladion's excellent breeding capabilities.

Based on this, it can be inferred that, with the attack power of Silvally's Sword Dance, taking down a weakened Volcano is just a matter of a single multi-attribute attack.

Multi-attribute attack, a unique move of Silvally.

The effect is extremely simple and brutal: launching a physical attack on the opponent with the same properties as the storage disc at that moment.

Its power is almost comparable to "ultimate" moves like Meteor Shower and Leaf Storm, but without any side effects, making it extremely powerful!

"Multi-attribute attack!"

The moment the thought crossed Xia Chen's mind, the command voice rang out as if it were law.

Without pausing for a moment, Silvally, having just completed its Sword Dance enhancement, turned and charged toward Volcarona!

The crest on its head, resembling the wings of a bird spirit, suddenly shone with a powerful gray-yellow light, clearly indicating that the Siamese fighting beast's attack would commence here.

Xia Chen assessed the speed of Silvally and the distance between the two Pokémon, and instantly realized that Volcarona could not simply rely on dodging to dodge.

Helpless, he could only command, "Hold the line!"

Volcano immediately agreed, and a semi-transparent energy barrier condensed in front of it.

Just then, Silvally, leaping up and headbutting, suddenly slashed across the area, and the energy barrier narrowly became the last obstacle between the two Pokémon.

If it had been half a second later, the Volcano would have surely fallen to this terrifying multi-attribute attack!

boom--

The terrifying power slashed and cleaved through the protective barrier, shattering it instantly.

The good news is that the light on the Sildenafil's crown gradually faded, and the energy of this multi-attribute attack was eventually absorbed by the Guardian.

…………

"Continue, multi-attribute attacks!"

Gladgio's cold, stern voice remained completely unchanged.

He knew that holding onto something was usually an elf's trump card.

With its trump card revealed, nothing could stop the blade atop Sildenafil's head from reaching Volcarona.

Xia Chen showed no sign of giving up. He shouted, "Vulcan Moth, Flame Vortex!"

Flame vortex, another flame vortex!

Lillie on the sidelines looked on with surprise and anticipation. The previous vortex of fire had directly reversed the offensive and defensive momentum between Volcano and Lycanroc. What would happen this time?

Although Gladio was also slightly puzzled, this time he was full of confidence.

Simply because it is a Siamese fighting beast!

The Volcarona, which uses Fire-type moves, releases them at an astonishing speed. It first flaps its wings to create distance between itself and Silvally, while at the same time, flames flow smoothly from its front like water, wrapping around Silvally's head.

It was as docile as a raging, fiery flame, rather like an unpredictable stream of water.

Gladio was filled with admiration. No matter how many times he watched it, the fire-controlling ability of this Volcano was truly breathtaking!

Moreover, the flowing flames, once wrapped around the crown of the Silver Companion, immediately began to spin at an extremely high frequency.

For the Rock-type Silvally, the power of Flame Vortex was nothing, but due to its exquisite fire control skills, its unstoppable momentum was abruptly halted, and the Rock-type energy on it slowly dimmed as the Flame Vortex wore it down.

Lillie, standing on the sidelines, had a glint in her eyes as she frantically took notes in her mind.

The same move can be used for both defense and counter-attack, or to control the opponent; it all depends on your control over the move and the energy.

Teacher, I understand!

Xia Chen had no idea about the chaotic thoughts running through his apprentice's mind. Seeing that the Flame Vortex was proving effective, he continued to instruct, "Raise it up, then use Ultimate Absorption!"

Volcano was already quite fast, and after its butterfly dance, it surpassed the speed of this Sildenafil.

With its wings fluttering lightly, it tilted upwards to escape the attack range of the Silver Companion.

However, Silvally is not the real Arceus, and unable to fly, it could only helplessly watch Volcarona drift further and further away before naturally landing.

The second multi-attribute attack failed to achieve its intended purpose!

…………

Gladio frowned slightly; the current situation was not what he had expected.

In the scenario, if all goes well, the Volcano should already be lying on the ground, defeated by multi-attribute attacks.

But now, the situation is starting to turn sour—

The Silvally, having just landed, is temporarily unable to launch another attack, allowing Volcarona to safely use its Giga Drain while maintaining a safe distance.

As one gains and the other loses, the difference in the two spirits' stats will narrow further.

After two consecutive ultimate absorptions, it's uncertain whether we can use multi-attribute attacks to kill it in one hit.

Should we just hold on?

No, no!

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Gladio immediately dismissed it.

While this could indeed give the Silver Companion a brief respite, dragging it out would only fulfill Xia Chen's wish.

"Rockfall!"

His mind raced, and Gladion gave the order just as Silvally landed.

He ultimately chose to fight head-on.

Gladion is gambling that if he releases Rock Slide before Giga Drain, he will likely defeat Volcarona directly!

Conversely, it can also cause considerable damage to Volcano moths.

Even if it could shatter the falling rocks again with the sound waves of insect chirping, it would have lost the opportunity to use Ultimate Drain to recover its stamina.

It's safe to say that directly attacking Silvally with its most direct moves will always be a win for Silvally.

This is the confidence and strength that comes with sword dance.

"The chirping of insects!"

Gladgio dared to gamble, but Xia Chen did not. He chose to repeat his old trick, using insect chirps to deal with the rockfall that could cause fatal damage.

And so, the scene from a few minutes ago is now playing out again.

The falling rocks were pulverized into countless explosive energy particles by the chirping of insects, which then drifted and scattered in the air.

Gladio's lips twitched, the psychological trauma of the dust explosion that had just occurred to him.

Hesitating for a moment, he didn't immediately tell his Sildenafil to use a multi-elemental attack, but instead commanded, "Continue, Rock Slide!"
