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

With such a huge advantage, the Devourer King's disadvantages are also very prominent.

Its pitifully low Speed ​​and Defense stats make this guy practically a walking health pack in actual battles.

Xia Chen's current strategy for Zeraora is to utilize the Electric Cat's superior speed to gain an advantage by using speed to overcome slowness.

High-speed movement is the first step in the operational plan.

At this moment, with the aid of high-speed movement, the nimble Zeraora was naturally not swallowed by the clumsy Gluttony King.

In its eyes, all the big guy's movements were as slow as if they had been slowed down ten times.

Zeraora lightly touched the giant black claw that the Gluttonous King swept across with its toes, and its slender figure nimbly escaped being swallowed by the giant mouth.

Unable to fly, it was looking for a suitable place to land when, out of the corner of its eye, it noticed that Dorombalto had somehow appeared beneath it.

"Fight without worry, leave your back to the Dragapult and Volcarona."

The telepathic connection Xia Chen sent stirred a strange feeling within Zeraora, as this was the first time it had fought alongside another Pokémon.

It feels...not bad.

Knowing the power of the Gluttonous King, it showed no mercy. It immediately used the Dorambaruto beneath its feet as a springboard, bent its lower legs slightly to gather strength, and then leaped up suddenly. The powerful reaction force propelled it rapidly toward the Gluttonous King.

"Charge first, then use the electric ball!"

Xia Chen's next command arrived as scheduled, and Jeraora carried it out without hesitation.

A restless current coursed through its silvery-white body. Having been "charged" by lightning just two weeks prior, Zeraora's electrical energy was now abundant.

In milliseconds, the current transformed into a strange energy flowing through the body, and the move [Charging] was ready.

The Charge move differs from ordinary power-up moves. In addition to providing a minor boost to Special Defense, its more important effect is that it strengthens the user's next attack move by a significant doubling of its power.

Of course, this only applies to Electric-type moves.

Since Electric Ball is a special move, and Zeraora doesn't have a move like Nasty Plot that boosts Special Attack, Charge is the best way to boost before attacking.

Xia Chen had Zeraora use the Electric Ball after it was charged, which is even more noteworthy. The power of this move depends on the speed difference between the two Pokémon. The greater the speed difference between the player and the opponent, the higher the damage.

This is exactly the opposite of the [Spinning Top Ball] with the steel attribute.

Zeraora's speed was already far greater than Gluttony's, and with the added boost of high-speed movement and charging, Xia Chen was incredibly excited about the damage this move would deal.

Meanwhile, the Zoroarks weren't idle either. With Zeraora drawing the Gluttony King's firepower from the front, they recklessly strengthened themselves or attacked from the sidelines.

Given their attack power, they could easily cause the Devourer King some minor trouble, if not a lot of damage.

The only pity is that none of them are good at Fairy-type moves, otherwise it would have been another disaster for Gluttony, which is four times weaker than Fairies.

…………

The electric ball, now in a [charging] state, was finally flung out from Zeraora's cat paw.

The intense and surging bright yellow electric energy, after being compressed to the extreme, transformed into a restrained silver-white spherical lightning bolt, which shot into the slightly open mouth of the Gluttonous King.

boom--

The electric ball, which was insignificant compared to the Gluttonous King's enormous body, unexpectedly caused a massive explosion.

Even though the explosion occurred inside the Gluttonous King's belly, the deafening sound was as loud and shocking as muffled thunder.

The Gluttonous King's mouth, which was about to close, was blasted open by the sudden explosion, making him look both comical and terrifying.

Its massive, hill-like body trembled violently. Had it not been for its stable, spherical shape, it would surely have been overturned to the ground by the powerful impact.

"Charge forward, unleash your powerful punch!"

Xia Chen commanded Zeraora to press their advantage.

He understood that although the electric ball did cause the Gluttonous King a great deal of damage, it was nothing compared to its bottomless "health bar".

This is destined to be a protracted war, and since it is a protracted war, strengthening is absolutely necessary.

Zeraora does not know sword dance. Xia Chen does not know whether it is because it is not in the skill pool of its race, or because it has not mastered it. In any case, Zeraora's only means of strengthening are self-motivation and bodybuilding.

Neither of these two enhancement moves were very cost-effective, so Xia Chen simply had Zeraora use Enhancement Punch.

It can both increase attack power and deal some damage.

The risk of fighting the Gluttonous King up close is not small, because you also have to be wary of this guy's terrifying big mouth.

Fortunately, it was somewhat dazed by the electric ball and had no intention of resisting the charging Zeraora.

Zeraora's attack target is the eyes of the Gluttonous King, which he punches, making it difficult to aim at an opponent of similar size.

But the Gluttonous King is different; this guy's eyes are bigger than Zeraora's entire body.

Without any doubt, it punched its eye, which glowed with a ghostly blue light.

The power of the Power-Up Punch was still too low. Although it benefited from the double super-effectiveness of Fighting-type moves, the punch was still more bark than bite.

Meanwhile, the Gluttonous King had recovered and stretched out its long black claws to reach up and grab Zeraora, who was standing on its face.

Zeraora's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to leap up to avoid the Gluttony King's grasp when Xia Chen's telepathic communication reminded her.

"Don't rush off, keep attacking and playing around!"

It immediately stopped its retreat and gathered its energy to unleash another punch.

The color of this punch was neither the bright yellow of the Electric type nor the milky white of the Fighting type, but a bewitching pinkish-purple.

Playful, a Fairy-type physical attack move. Xia Chen chose this move for no other reason than that it was unremarkable, with a four-fold super effective against it!

…………

boom--

If the enhanced punch was merely a prelude, then this playful attack was a full-force strike delivered with deliberate intent.

The immense power and the four-fold resistance to Fairy-type energy caused Guzzlord to open its mouth and let out a shrill scream.

Stimulated by the pain, it extended its claws even faster, and Zeraora, who had just unleashed a powerful punch, was unable to dodge for a short time, and could only watch as the giant claws continued to enlarge in its pupils.

At the critical moment, sword energy came from the west.

A giant sword covered in eerie, cold flames blocked Zeraora's path, preventing the giant claws from advancing even half a step.

Zeraora turned her head and met a pair of aloof and cold eyes.

It remembered this spirit, Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Although it doesn't have the outgoing personality of Dragapult or Cyclops, nor the outstanding appearance of Sylveon or Gardevoir, its temperament left a lasting impression on Zeraora.

Zeraora did not thank Azure Blade Demon, because it had already realized the meaning of fighting alongside its comrades.

"Adjust your position and enhance your punch!"

After a moment's thought, Zeraora leaped up as Xia Chen commanded.

You can never have too many attacks, especially when the opponent is someone who's practically a boss. It'll be a long grind.

Its nimble body leaped up like lightning, and in the next instant it moved behind the Gluttonous King.

He raised his hand and threw another ordinary punch.

The damage was even lower than the first enhanced punch, which didn't surprise either Zeraora or Xia Chen.

The back, with its thick skin and flesh, is definitely more resistant to blows than the eyes, which are full of openings. There are two reasons for switching to this area.

First, the enhanced fist technique is a move whose purpose is to strengthen rather than to output damage.

Secondly, this would also lower the guard of the Gluttonous King, making him mistakenly believe that Zeraora's attack power was only so great.

As expected, the Gluttonous King paid no attention to Zeraora's back scratching. Despite its large size, it had a small brain and instead focused its attention on the Azure Flame Blade Demon in front of it.

boom--

A deep purple dragon's breath surged from its abyss-like maw. Because of the close proximity and the vast range of the dragon's breath, the Azure Flame Blade Demon, which had intended to dodge early on, was still unable to avoid it and suddenly fell.

With just one breath of dragon's breath, Azure Flame Blade Demon was brought to the brink of death!

Xia Chen's eyes were gloomy, but he wasn't too surprised. The Gluttonous King was at least a legendary-level strength, but it was a pipe dream that the Heavenly King-level Azure Flame Blade Demon could withstand even a single move.

Dorambaru immediately rushed to where the Azure Flame Blade Demon had landed, rescuing it before it fell into the mouth of the Gluttonous King, and then carried the unconscious Azure Flame Blade Demon to Xia Chen's side.

"Thank you for your hard work, Azure Flame Blade Demon."

Xia Chen took out a Poké Ball and recalled the first lost Pokémon.

Doronbaru let out a strange cry and flew back towards the battlefield, where Gluttony had already set its sights on Volcarona, which was attacking with all its might on the flank.

Behind it, Zeraora had quietly raised its right fist again, once again with a powerful punch.

This is its fourth enhanced punch, which is equivalent to using the Sword Dance twice.

The massive increase in attack power did not make Zeraora too confident. It remained patiently dormant, waiting for Xia Chen's attack command.

On the main battlefield, Gluttony continued its crushing victory, with Sludge Wave defeating Volcarona and Arm Hammer smashing down Goodra.

If it weren't for the timely rescue by scout Doronbaruto, they would already be inside the belly of the Gluttonous King.

Zeraora saw this and felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, which he held back.

Finally, as the sixth enhanced punch landed, the sound it had been waiting for finally came.

"Are you ready... Plasma Lightning Fist!"

Chapter 509 Zeraora, Become My Partner!

Ruins and dust fill the air; the once bustling city of Mahalo is now shrouded in the shadow of war.

Indeed, the appearance of the Gluttonous King elevated the battles between elves to the level of war.

If no one stops it, this thing is a heartless war machine that will follow its most primal gluttonous desires, swallowing everything in sight and then continuing to eat.

The Creator God must have put in a lot of effort when creating it, because there was only one program that drove it to run—

Eating is for living, and living is for eating more; that is the meaning of the existence of the Gluttonous King.

This gluttonous king hadn't eaten for a full three minutes, and it had rarely experienced such hunger throughout its entire "dragon life".

The overwhelming hunger left only one thought in his mind at that moment—

I'm going to eat and eat and eat and eat and eat!

No one can stop it from eating!
