Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

However, compared to the cute appearance of this Pokémon, the most eye-catching thing is actually its current state - it actually stepped on its lightning-shaped tail and floated in the air.

"Raichu...?"

Acerola, who was watching the game in the stands, became excited when he saw this Pokémon.

"And it's in Alola form! Raichu in Alola form!"

In the Alola region, Raichu has a completely different form from other regions, and its attributes have changed from the original electric type to a dual attribute of electric and psychic.

——This change is considered an "unexplainable" unsolved mystery by researchers in the Pokémon world. No one knows why Raichu in the Alola region has grown into this appearance. In the end, they actually came to the conclusion that "Raichu was mainly affected by Alola food."

It's because he ate too many round Alola pancakes that he looked like this.

Chapter 665 [Thunderhill]

Although diet may indeed be one of the reasons, the explanation of "regional individual formed by eating pancakes" is still a bit too cyberpunk. If it were Qiao Ran himself, he would definitely not believe it.

"The attribute of the Yangcheng Dojo is electricity, which also represents the modern era. The electrical age is a turning point in human history."

"My first Pokémon is Raichu. It's also my old partner. Even among my main team, its strength is very outstanding... So, what is your first Pokémon?"

Master Chen glanced at his Raichu, which was squinting its eyes and staring at its opponent. Not only that, its body was lying on its tail, swaying in the air. Like its trainer, his Raichu also looked like it was doing whatever it wanted.

"Is that the Diancie you used before? Or is it the wolf?"

Pavilion Master Chen had obviously done some research on Qiao Ran. After all, the videos of Qiao Ran's previous battles would go viral on the Internet for a while. According to his observation, the Pokémon Qiao Ran used the most was actually the diamond-like Pokémon. However, if you talk about the strongest... the one that impressed him the most was actually the wolf with a sword in its mouth.

He also has a scale in his heart about the strength of Old Man Nian Hai. At least, in his cognition, his own strength is far inferior to that of Old Man Nian Hai. However, when facing Old Man Nian Hai's Pokémon, the wolf-type Pokémon can be relatively "easy and at ease". This shows that it is far from the limit of that Pokémon.

"No, they won't be performing today. After all, the venue here is not suitable for them."

When the other party sent out Raichu, Qiao Ran had already seen the other party's level and made a judgment in his mind.

Lv48.

This level is already quite close to the King of Heaven, and can indeed be called the main force of the "Garden Master". Moreover, although this Garden Master Chen seems a little unkempt, to reach this level of strength, he must have trained a lot in his daily life.

That being the case...

Whether it was Yveltal or Reshiram, their sizes weren't suitable for such a battlefield. And as for Cang Xiang, with her current strength, it wasn't suitable for her to deal with Pokémon below the level of the Celestial King. As for the other Pokémon...

"...Suicune and Latias? Suicune's attributes aren't quite suitable, so let Latias do it."

Qiao Ran wanted to have a gym match with Suicune after a long absence, but with Suicune's pure water attribute, he would definitely not fare well against an electric-type gym. If he was directly electrocuted and fell to the ground, it would definitely be the fault of him, the trainer, being too stubborn.

Qiao Ran doesn't think he has any buff of a master of reverse attributes, so it's better to be cautious at this time.

"Then the decision is yours!"

"Latias!!"

After making the decision, Qiao Ran threw the Poké Ball in his hand. With a flash of light, a strange Pokémon that looked like both a bird and a dragon appeared on the field. Most of her body was covered in red, with only the head having a white area. Although her body was not very big, the audience around her couldn't help but exclaimed when she appeared.

The owner of the Chen Pavilion opposite also became excited all of a sudden.

"…What kind of Pokémon is this?"

.,欢.'迎!进!入.,【:希!儿!的"图.:书:馆】7..4'60,.9!"4;0;7;6! '"外:!群"1"0:9"0,2''5!:1'5:7;,6“又是新的宝可梦吗？”

"...This looks like something I've never seen before... Where did you catch this?"

No one expected that Qiao Ran would pull out another Pokémon that no one knew about. However, considering Qiao Ran's combat power, the audience did not find it surprising.

It's strange. After all, only with this strength can you have the ability to discover new Pokémon. If your strength is not strong enough, you can only rely on luck.

"This Pokémon is...interesting."

Chen Leizhong stared at Latias for a long time, but in the end he couldn't see any clues from Latias. However, judging from the two wings behind it and its floating state in the air, this Pokémon might have the attribute of flying.

But - if it really is a flying attribute, with the vision of a trainer like Qiao Ran, would he use it at this time?

Chen Leizhong was a little hesitant to make a conclusion.

"Both parties are ready!"

Seeing that the trainers on both sides had taken out their Pokémon, the referee in the center also raised the flag in his hand high. At the same time, the audience's cheers also rose.

From outside the arena and inside the tower, everyone watching the match broadcast erupted in cheers. Their passion for Pokémon and Pokémon competitions infected Zhulan and the others in the audience.

In the Huaxia League, watching Pokémon competitions and participating in such events have become a well-known form of entertainment.

——Then, the referee waved the flag in his hand vigorously.

“…The game begins!!”

"Thunderchu! One hundred thousand volts!"

Under the command of Master Chen, Raichu quickly launched an attack the moment the game started. Fiery lightning emerged from its body, and then drew a golden mark in the air. The twisted electric light was like a leaping lightning snake, spreading continuously to the surroundings.

"What a powerful electric move."

Mei, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but sigh. The power of 100,000 volts looked like thunder.

The layman watches the excitement, the expert watches the details. Just from this one skill, you can see how much training this Raichu has received. It is definitely not an opponent that can be underestimated.

"Latias! Get out of the way!"

Although Raichu is very fast, Latias's speed is equally fast. Although Latias joined their team relatively late, her level was quickly raised through the battle in Alola. Although there is still a gap of several levels compared to the opposing Raichu, it is no longer very obvious between Latias and the opponent.

The most important thing is that through the first skill released by the opponent, Qiao Ran obviously realized something.

...Latias's attributes, did he think that Latias's attributes were flying type?

“…Maybe this can be useful.”

Qiao Ran looked at Latias who was moving at high speed in the venue, dodging the opponent's 100,000 volts, and couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

The other party has never seen Latias, so naturally it is impossible for him to directly see her attributes. This information gap is also something that the trainer can take advantage of.

As long as it is within this rectangular area, everything is allowed.

Chapter 666

Among ordinary Pokémon, the most eye-catching feature of Pikachu and Raichu is their lightning speed. Many times, these electric mice can suppress their opponents through speed. However, when this point is used on Latias, who is also good at speed, it obviously does not achieve any effect.

With her hands placed at her sides, Latias transformed into a jet plane, flying around the field at an extremely fast speed. As time went on, her speed was actually getting faster and faster. However, Raichu's 100,000 volts had begun to decline after being charged for a period of time, and it was impossible to hit her.

Moreover, during this brief confrontation, Qiao Ran also realized a very important fact - most electric-type skills would not cause any damage to the building itself. Even if Chen Leizhong let his Pokémon use its full strength, the electric-type attacks would be completely absorbed by the surroundings. This attribute might indeed be the most suitable for this venue.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why the Yangcheng Gym chose to be built here.

"So fast."

He let Raichu try for a while, but the result just made Chen Leizhong frown. Fast speed and wings are indeed the characteristics of flying-attribute Pokémon. However, this speed is really too amazing. It is even faster than his Raichu.

"Raichu! Electric Field!"

Chen Leizhong immediately changed his mind and let Leiqiu release another skill.

"Latias! Meditate!"

Qiao Ran naturally couldn't miss this opportunity, and directly let Latias activate the amplification mode. A light purple light emanated from Latias' body. Under the effect of the meditation skill, Latias's special attack and special defense would be improved by one level. The role of special attack is self-evident, and special defense will also be very important in the battle with Raichu.

Especially when Latias's Special Defense is a whopping 130, a mere 20 less than Diancie's. If you attack her with the wrong attributes and use a special attack, she'll be a formidable shield wall.

The opposite Raichu did not fall down, but released a skill called "Electric Field". As the Raichu made a "Hickey" sound, circles of electric light began to spread around it.

After a while, the entire ground of the arena seemed to have been covered by the spreading electric current, dyeing it golden and making crackling sounds.

Electric Field - This skill is similar to the green grass field released by Tapu Moo that Qiao Ran met in the Broken World. Moreover, these fields were originally the iconic skills of these island gods. However, Tapu Moo and other Tapu do not need to actively release the fields. They already have these effects the moment they appear.

The special ability of the electric field, in addition to amplifying the power of electric moves, also has the effect of preventing Pokémon on the field from falling asleep. However, looking at the bright scene everywhere, Qiao Ran thought that if he were on the field, he would definitely not be able to fall asleep.

"Qiu-Qiu!"

The electrical field gradually spread out, and the Raichu floating in the air, like a fish in water, stepped on its own tail and began to glide on the ground. There was even a dense electric current generated between its big tail and the ground, driving its body and making its original speed directly increase by several levels.

"Under the Electric Field status, Raichu's Surf Tail feature can double its speed again!"

When Chen Leizhong saw Qiao Ran using Meditation, he was not afraid at all, because he knew that when Raichu used the Electric Field and triggered the Surf Tail feature, the opponent's Flying Pokémon would have no way to avoid the following skills.

"Give him a fatal blow, Raichu, 100,000 volts!"

"mound!!!"

Electric field plus surfing tail. When Raichu stepped on his tail and moved in the air like surfing, his whole body was wrapped in golden electric light. Moreover, with the speed doubled, it had almost accelerated to a level that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

After all, the original Raichu's speed is as high as 110. If it is doubled, there are probably not many other Pokémon that can surpass this terrifying speed.

"Crackling."

Golden electric snakes spread wildly. Although Latias had the advantage of being able to fly, this advantage was nothing in front of the Alola Raichu.

"Owner."

"Should we get out of the way?"

However, Latias, who was floating in the air, did not feel panicked because she knew that based on her true attributes, she was not afraid of electric attacks. Even if these attacks hit her, they would not be fatal.

Moreover, as a Pokémon with psychic attributes, in addition to flying directly, she also has many backup plans to deal with the situation. If possible, she can also try to avoid it directly.

But - Qiao Ran obviously would not give up this good opportunity to take advantage of the opponent's weakness.

"Latias!"

Qiao Ran gave her instructions directly in his mind.

"While the opponent is slowing down with their concentrated attack, use Shadow Ball on them!"

If Raichu is moving at full speed, it is very difficult to attack the opponent. However, even the fastest Pokémon will reveal flaws when attacking.

This is the experience he gained when fighting with other trainers, especially Sister Wanshuang from Rong City. Her Lotte Kappa and the Raichu in front of him actually have the same effect.

As expected of trainers from the same period, do they have something in common in this regard?

"..."

The spectators couldn't help but watch the situation in the venue nervously. It had just begun, and both sides seemed to have already wanted to decide the winner. When the Raichu approached Latias at an extremely fast speed, ready to release 100,000 volts at close range to take it down, Latias actually rushed directly in the direction of the Raichu.

"...!"

Not only the owner of the gym outside the venue, but even Chen Leizhong was shocked by this sudden change. However, he soon had a bad feeling, but - it was obviously too late to react now.

In the audience, Mei and the others were silently suppressing their smiles.

They knew Latias's attributes and how resistant she was.

Chapter 667 [Second Opponent]

Rushing straight towards the 100,000-volt attack, Latias's body was quickly covered with a layer of golden film, and golden lightning snakes danced on her body. However, there was no trace of panic in her eyes. Although the opponent's 100,000-volt attack was extremely powerful, the damage was nothing compared to the trauma she had suffered in the previous battle in Alola.

The most important thing is that with her dual attributes of dragon and super power, she is resistant to electricity. Even if this 100,000-volt move hits her, the damage will be reduced by half.

As Latios flew, a black shadow sphere emerged from her mouth, and then flew straight towards Raichu at an extremely fast speed.

"Shadow ball!"

The sphere filled with ghost energy undoubtedly hit Raichu. Its body was only briefly stiff due to the release of the skill, and this extremely short period of time was also seen by Qiao Ran and Latias.

"mound--!!"

The Raichu that was hit uttered a whine, and its body that was originally flying on its own tail suddenly lost its support and fell directly to the ground.

on the ground.

Compared to its powerful speed, Raichu is not a Pokémon that is good at defense. Most importantly, the ghost-attribute Shadow Ball can cause double damage to the psychic-attribute Raichu, and Latios learned this skill precisely to deal with Pokémon with the same psychic attribute as himself.

It just so happens that I can use it directly today.

"Thunderchu!"

The spectators outside the stadium couldn't help but express their concerns about the sudden change in the battle situation, and Chen Leizhong also felt that something was wrong. For Raichu, maintaining high speed is the cornerstone of its survival, but if it is knocked off the "tail surfboard" directly, it will basically be the same as losing the game!

As expected, after being unable to maintain his high-speed surfing posture, Latias launched a violent and violent attack on the "overwater" Raichu.

"Dragon Wave!!"

Latias floated in the air, a blue beam condensing from his mouth, and blasted it in the direction of Raichu. Of course, to avoid any "building demolition" consequences, Qiao Ran still asked Latias to slightly control the power of the move. Although holding back in a normal battle is a taboo, it was unavoidable here due to the limitations of the venue.

Moreover, this is also a test of their control. A Pokémon that can release powerful skills at any time, but can control the power of its skills at any time and manage its own physical consumption is undoubtedly a more terrifying existence.

"Dragon's Wave...it's actually Dragon's Wave."

Judging from its performance after being hit by 100,000 Volts, and the skills Latias is currently using, Chen Leizhong has undoubtedly realized that the Pokémon in front of him is not a flying-attribute Pokémon, but should be a dragon-type Pokémon!

In the Pokémon world, besides the Flying type, the only creatures capable of using two wings to soar through the air are probably Dragon-type creatures. However, judging by her appearance, Latias didn't look like a traditional "dragon" at all. Furthermore, her body seemed to be covered in fine, soft feathers, which made Chen Leizhong misjudge her.

But no matter what, after realizing Latias's possible attributes, he already had his own ideas. The subsequent fighting method can also be adjusted in a more efficient direction.
