Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

"The Nine-Tailed Fox is exhausted and can no longer fight."

It’s so fast, the whistle was blown once just now, and now it’s blown again.

Looking at the fallen Kyuubi, Kido sighed inwardly.

"Thank you for your hard work, come back, Nine-Tailed Fox."

Xia Bo took back the Nine-Tailed Fox and thought to himself at the same time.

The characteristic of Su Yuan's Gyarados is not Intimidation, but it doesn't seem to be overconfident either. It's interesting that his physical attack did not increase after defeating the Nine-Tails. Does Gyarados have other characteristics besides Intimidation and Overconfidence?

Out of curiosity, Xia Bo took out another Poké Ball.

"Next, I'm counting on you again, go ahead, Windy Dog!"

“Woof woof~!”

Windy Dog appears again, and facing the ferocious Gyarados, Windy Dog is not afraid at all.

"Gyarados, use Earthquake!"

Su Yuan did not hesitate and directly commanded Gyarados to launch an earthquake.

"Wind Speed ​​Dog, use God's Speed!"

"Ouch!"

Hearing Xia Bo's order, Windy Dog charged towards Gyarados without any hesitation.

With a flash of its body, Windy Dog rushed towards Gyarados at an extremely fast speed.

It directly crashed into Gyarados's body, causing Gyarados's body to shake.

But that was all, the earthquake started.

The fierce earthquake impact came again, and this time it instantly blew away Windspeed. The blown-away Gyarados fell heavily to the ground and stopped moving.

The earthquake hit, and the effect was outstanding.

"So fast!"

Shiroto exclaimed, he was defeated after just one round of fighting?

This is faster than Guan Yu of Donghuang killing Hua Xiong.

But the conscientious Shiroto still blew the whistle and made the judgment.

"The Wind Speed ​​Dog is exhausted and can't continue fighting!"

Chapter 589: Features that Change the Pattern of Pokémon Battles

At this point in the battle, the winner is actually very clear.

Although Sunny has restricted Gyarados's water-based moves, Gyarados doesn't use water-based moves at all.

After Dragon Dance is strengthened once, Earthquake is enough to flatten all Fire Pokémon that are weak to the ground.

Unless you, Xia Bo, take out a Flamehawk or Heat Rotom at the end, no one can withstand Gyarados's Earthquake.

Even if you can withstand the earthquake, as a fire-type Pokémon, what good moves can you have against Gyarados?

Xia Bo looked at the exhausted Windy Hound, took it back, took out the last Poké Ball from his pocket and said to Su Yuan.

"Su Yuan, your Gyarados doesn't have the intimidation trait, nor does it have the overconfidence trait. What exactly is its trait? Or did Gyarados develop a third trait in addition to these two in Donghuang?"

The discovery of characteristics is actually only a recent thing. In the beginning, there was no such thing as characteristics. Later, ordinary characteristics came into being, and later people discovered hidden characteristics.

So it's not surprising when some Pokémon are discovered to have previously unseen traits.

Su Yuan also answered Xia Bo's question.

After all, even if he didn't say it, if Xia Bo was interested in finding the videos he had taken of Gyarados fighting in the competition, he would be able to guess something.

"Indeed, my Gyarados is different from other Gyarados, and his characteristics are also discovered for the first time in Donghuang."

"This is a feature that was first discovered in Donghuang. What is this feature called and what are its specific effects?"

"I call this characteristic Dragon Might. As for the effect, you will know it after you experience it yourself, Uncle Xia."

“Feel it for yourself.”

Xia Bo adjusted his glasses and laughed.

"Hahahaha, I see. Then I'll feel it myself."

As he said this, he threw his last Poké Ball.

"Go Platypus!"

“Gah~!”

As the Poké Ball slid down, a Pokémon with a unique shape appeared.

The Platypus is red in color, with yellow rings on its body, like alternating red and yellow flames. Its fat body looks like a ball, supported by a pair of thin legs that don't seem to be in proper harmony.

The hair on top of his head stood up like a burning flame, and there was a tuft of yellow hair that looked as if it had been highlighted.

The face was black, but most of it was taken up by thick, sausage-like lips, and a pair of funny little eyes.

The most interesting thing is his hands. They are bright yellow and look more like a pair of cannon barrels than hands.

Platypus

A Pyro Pokémon whose hands can spurt out extremely hot flames and has a violent temper.

"Duck-billed Flamemon, quite a classic."

This Pokémon is indeed interesting. Su Yuan still remembers that it didn’t seem to be called this name before.

This guy is called Platypus, and its degeneration is called Platypus.

It has evolved to a new stage and become more popular, right?

Su Yuan's impression of this guy came more from the anime. In the anime, Flamemon had encountered it when Ash was challenging a specific tournament. At that time, Flamemon's Big Character Explosion was empty, and then the empty Big Character Explosion flew into the air, flying farther and farther, and then changed from Big Character Explosion to Medium Character Explosion, and finally to Small Character Explosion, before it completely disappeared.

That scene was so funny that Su Yuan still remembers it now.

"Okay Su Yuan, show us your Gyarados characteristics."

Seeing this, Su Yuan nodded to Gyarados and began to give orders.

"Go ahead, Gyarados, show your true dragon power, and use Earthquake!"

"Roar~!"

Gyarados roared, and then the Dragon Power characteristic was activated. Gyarados' body underwent visible changes.

The broad scales on the body began to become delicate, the ferocious face began to become dignified, a pair of horns grew on the head, and four limbs and five claws grew on the torso.

Gyarados completely transformed from its original dragon-like form into a Donghuang Dragon.

Gyarados, having completed its transformation, dances in the air like a living totem.

The ground is your energy explosion. This time there is no need to use your tail to slap the ground. The entire earth, just a thought, will trigger an earthquake instantly.

"Platypus, one hundred thousand volts!"

Seeing Gyarados launching an attack, Xia Bo turned around and hurriedly commanded Infernape to launch an attack.

The moment the earthquake swept in, the thunder in the hands of the duck-billed fire beast flew out.

“Clang~!”

One hundred thousand volts of thunder and a fierce earthquake hit the target at the same time.

The powerful impact of the earthquake pushed Infernape back to the edge of the battlefield, but as Xia Bo's trump card Pokémon, this Infernape was specially trained and actually withstood the earthquake caused by Gyarados after it was strengthened once with Dragon Dance.

On the other side, Gyarados remained motionless under the baptism of 100,000-volt thunder, with flashing lightning, which made Gyarados in the dragon power state look even more majestic.

"What's going on! Gyarados withstood the 100,000 volts of Platypus."

Seeing Gyarados withstand the dragon's might, Xia Bo's reaction was as surprised as Su Yuan's when he saw Onix withstand the bubble beam on Donghua.

However, as a Pokémon researcher, Xia Bo quickly figured out what was going on.

"Your Gyarados's characteristics can change his attributes! Right? The effect of the Dragon's Might characteristic is to change Gyarados's attributes. Judging from his reaction of not being afraid of lightning, after Dragon's Might, Gyarados lost the flying characteristic. So, now Gyarados's attributes are Water plus Dragon!"

Su Yuan nodded. As expected of Xia Bo, the ruthless man who created Mewtwo, he immediately guessed the function of Gyarados's Dragon Power characteristic.

"As expected of you, Uncle Xia. You can tell the effect of Gyarados's Dragon Power ability with just one glance. That's amazing."

However, Xia Bo completely ignored Su Yuan's flattery and started muttering to himself.

"The Dragon Power ability can change Gyarados's attributes during battle, so it can be used to surprise the opponent in battle. There is no need to switch Pokémon. You can directly activate the ability to change the attributes to avoid its original weaknesses. This ability can completely change the Pokémon battle situation!"

Thinking about it, he asked Su Yuan again.

"So, can your Gyarados control its own characteristics freely? For example, when necessary, it can change back to its original form to avoid some weaknesses of the water and dragon attributes?"

“Well, it seems that I can’t do this.”

Su Yuan spread his hands and said.

"Once Gyarados enters the Dragon Power state, it will remain in this state for a long time unless it is defeated."

Chapter 590: Is the championship title in your Kanto region poisonous?

After hearing Su Yuan say that Gyarados's characteristics would not come for a long time after being activated, Xia Bo smacked his lips.

As expected, there is no 100% perfect feature, and everything has its flaws that he cannot overcome.

But even so, the ability to switch attributes during battle alone allows Gyarados to deal with most situations in battle.

"Tsk, Su Yuan, I think Gyarados's characteristics are also a very good research direction. Don't ignore it."

As a scientific researcher, Xia Bo thought for a while and then reminded Su Yuan.

"Alright, I lost this battle, there's no need to continue."

After saying that, Xia Bo took back the Platypus, and then signaled the referee Shiroto to take it over.

Kido nodded and blew his whistle.

"beep--!"

"Xia Bo voluntarily admitted defeat. The match is over. The winner is trainer Su Yuan!"

Seeing this, Su Yuan also took back Gyarados.

"Xia Bo, I understand what you mean, but so far, I have only discovered that my Gyarados has the Dragon Power trait, so it is still a bit difficult to study the method of changing the attributes of Pokémon based on the characteristics of Gyarados."

One of the most important factors in scientific research experiments is repeatability.

If something you create is just a coincidence and cannot be reproduced, then it is meaningless.

However, Gyarados's Dragon Power characteristic cannot be replaced by Characteristic Exchange, nor can it be eliminated by the Chemical Change Gas characteristic of Triton, and it cannot even be copied by the Copy characteristic.

These were all things he had tested when he was writing his graduate thesis on Nianmeilong at Lingnan University’s research institute. After all, Professor Jiang had also suggested that he do research on it at that time.

The result was that after a lot of research, it was found that Gyarados's characteristics were too special and could not be studied for the time being.

"Is that so? That's really a pity."

Xia Bo adjusted his glasses and said.

"If you can change the attributes of Pokémon during battle, it will bring changes to Pokémon battles, just like Mega Evolution and Z-Moves. Of course, there is also the Galar region's Dynamaxing, but Dynamaxing is inseparable from the energy field of the Galar region, and its impact on other regions is not as far-reaching as Mega Evolution and Z-Moves."

It is indeed as Xia Bo said, as the exchanges between regions become more frequent, Mega Evolutions and Z moves began to become popular among regions.

"Actually, it's not impossible to change Pokémon's attributes during a battle."

Su Yuan touched his chin and spoke.

"Xia Bo, I don't know if you have read the research papers on Taijing in the Padya region. Although not much has been found yet, I think this research has great potential."

Now the research on Tai crystallization in the Padia area is still in its infancy, but Su Yuan is very clear that it will not be long before Tai crystallization will achieve a breakthrough and then become popular in the Padia area.
