Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

The two exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously threw their Poké Balls into the sky.

Amidst a flash of silver light, two elves made a bold entrance.

"Kah!!" A frenzied roar echoed across the battlefield.

Nanfeng's first Pokémon is Garchomp, currently at level 88, and its Pokémon item is Treasure Trove.

With deep blue skin, a streamlined body, and a ferocious and terrifying face, it appeared as if a killing machine had donned the "cloak" of an elf. Its terrifying aura pressed down on all sides like a tidal wave.

Despite its terrifying strength, Garchomp only ranks at the bottom of Southwind's main team, and even at the bottom, there are several Pokémon competing with it.

That's why Garchomp is full of fighting spirit today!

Compared to the frenzy in front of Nanfeng, the elf that appeared in front of Dongfang Ming was much quieter.

A Dragonite, its chubby yellow body and tiny fleshy wings on its back adding to its comical appeal. Facing the almost overwhelming pressure of a Garchomp, it remained unfazed, hands on its hips, awaiting the battle, exuding an air of "Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain; let him be fierce, the bright moon still shines over the great river."

The audience members were somewhat agitated.

Nanfeng versus Dongfangming, the first match is Tianlong versus Dilong, how exciting!

The referee was no match for the two dragons; after scanning the two fighters and confirming they were in position, he immediately slashed his flag downwards.

"Battle begins!"

458, Heavenly Dragon VS Earthly Dragon, a scene that seems familiar.

"High-speed movement"

"Dragon Dance"

The battle began, and Nanfeng and Dongfangming issued orders simultaneously.

Dragonite charged forward like lightning, a faint white light flashing across its body. Its speed increased rapidly, and the battlefield seemed to be swept by a streak of white light.

"Roar!!" Garchomp roared again, its dark green dragon-type energy burning like flames on its body, and its attack power and speed also increased.

"Dragon Claw" East-Front Name Additional Command.

Dragonite had already reached Garchomp, its raised claws moving forward, and with the added momentum, the power of the move was amplified compared to when it was standing still.

"Dragon Claw!" Nanfeng's command followed immediately.

"Clang!" A loud explosion rang out on the battlefield.

The two dark green dragon claws collided, and the ground within a three-meter radius of Garchomp shattered, demonstrating the immense power of both forces.

Even so, Garchomp did not retreat an inch.

Both sides are evenly matched.

"Storm!" Dongfang Ming, having failed with his first attack, launched another.

Dragonite suddenly exerted force with both arms, using the force of Garchomp to retreat, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky. With another turn, its pair of fleshy wings created a storm with a diameter that could engulf the entire battlefield.

The storm whipped up mud and sand, as if a sandstorm had been unleashed in the blink of an eye.

"One more time, Dragon Claw!" Nanfeng cheered and silently raised his hand.

Garchomp glowed, its arms swung, and its dragon claws grew even sharper as it slashed horizontally from the front!

A dark green light slashed out, splitting the sand city in two like a blade.

But the moment the storm was cut off, Dragonite burst out at an astonishing speed, its figure blurring with motion.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and Dragonite was already Garchomp.

Clearly, this was a premeditated attack.

The hurricane wasn't an offensive tactic; it was merely a smokescreen, carrying sand and dust. The goal was to allow Dragonite to launch a surprise attack with its "Extreme Speed" attack.

"Clang!" Another deafening explosion.

Garchomp blocked it again—no, to be precise, it should now be called Mega Garchomp!

Just as it used Dragon Claw, Nanfeng raised its arm and revealed the Z-Bracelet. Garchomp's body glowed as it underwent Mega Evolution.

As for why no instructions were issued...

Isn't this exactly what we've been waiting for?

Are you planning to ambush me?

What a coincidence, I was also preparing to ambush you!

Mega Garchomp, having undergone MEGA evolution, boasts a massive increase in physical attack power! Its scythe-like left arm unleashes a "blade-like" slash with a dragon claw, cutting through the storm.

The right arm slash is a slash at the Dragonite that is launching a sneak attack.

Dragonite was sent flying by the attack, but was not seriously injured.

There is a small detail that only an expert could notice.

Dragonite avoided a fatal blow at the last moment.

It can almost instinctively and precisely avoid vital points when things don't go its way. Either this Dragonite has an extremely terrifying fighting instinct, or it has also learned to see into its surroundings.

Mind's Eye is a must-learn skill for all melee Pokémon, and whether or not one has learned it can even be considered a threshold for distinguishing a strong player.

The reason why Mega Garchomp was able to react and counterattack when faced with Dragonite's Extreme Speed ​​Attack was because of Mind Control.

Many trainers who had reached the level of Gym Leaders but had not yet become Elite Four members secretly marveled at this.

"As expected of a championship battle, if I were in that situation, I'd be instantly killed by one of my Pokémon in just the first round."

"Swallow Return!" Dongfang Ming issued the order again. His idea was clear: a quick attack and suppression!

Dragonite's advantage over Garchomp lies in its speed, not its base speed stat, but the stealth speed granted by its Flying-type typing.

More directly, it is "aerial dexterity".

The Dragonite, sent flying by the cleavage, tumbled through the air and suddenly swooped down, leaping off the ground just before it was about to crash.

The move transitioned naturally from Swallow Return to "Dragon God Dive".

The Dragonite, clad in dark green, roared and charged like a giant dragon.

Nanfeng had seen similar moves before, and he liked to use them too.

This technique is commonly seen in Flying-type Pokémon, specifically Bird-type Pokémon. It uses Aerial Ace to accelerate landing and adjust its body, then dashes forward upon landing, switches to Quick Attack, and combines it with Drill Beam.

Suddenly I thought of that Zapdos.

"Dragon Claw!" Nanfeng responded with unwavering resolve.

0 ···Requesting flowers 0 ······

Mega Garchomp's scythe once again glowed with dark green energy, and the cold light in its eyes seemed particularly dazzling. It was ready to smash Dragonite into the ground in front of it.

The Dragonite arrived in the blink of an eye, but surprisingly, it did not use the momentum of its charge to pounce on Mega Garchomp. Instead, it suddenly turned around and flew around Mega Garchomp along the ground with its dragon body.

In the blink of an eye, the storm rose again.

This time, however, the focus was on Mega Garchomp, with dark green Dragon-type energy emanating from it.

tornado?

It is and it isn't. It is a Dragon-type storm, but its power is not as weak as a regular tornado. It is a Flying-type storm combined with Dragon Pulse.

This can now be confirmed as a newly developed technique.

. ...... ....

Nanfeng's eyes gleamed slightly; the Eastern champion had finished probing and was preparing for a formal attack.

The move before them was named "Dragon God Scroll" by Dongfang Ming!

This was only the beginning of the offensive; the giant tornado was not yet lethal.

Trapped inside, the Mega Garchomp is like standing in the eye of a typhoon; no matter how fierce the winds are outside, they have little effect on it inside.

He silently took out a Z-pure crystal and embedded it into the Z-enhanced bracelet.

"Dragonite, Z-Move, Frenzy Earth Freeze!"

Dragonite, flying like a giant dragon, stood atop the Dragon God Scroll, its face cold and emotionless, its gaze fixed on Mega Garchomp, its mouth filled with ice and snow.

It exploded in the blink of an eye.

Countless bursts of cold ice and snow erupted, like an avalanche, as if to fill the entire interior of the Dragon God Scroll.

A question mark appeared above Nanfeng's head.

Ah this...

Both Dragonite and Garchomp are 4x weak to Ice, and now your Dragonite not only knows Ice-type moves, but also uses Ice-type Z-Moves.

Garchomp: You with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're a traitor?!

This scene... seems familiar.

Nanfeng suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

By the way, Zhao Miaoshan's Dragonite also knows Ice-type Z-Moves!

In that battle, I also used Garchomp. I still lost, losing to Dragonite's "Multiscale" ability, so... this Dragonite's ability is also Multiscale? VI.

459. Garchomp's signature move, "Meteor Shower".

Multiple scale-like characteristics?

It's pointless. Dongfangming's Dragonite has already been hit by "Dragon Claw" once, so its Multiscale ability is no longer effective.

"Heh," Nanfeng chuckled, "It doesn't matter whether you have multiple scales or not."

Because the Garchomp of today is not the same Garchomp that battled Bellatrix back then!

"Digging a hole" is the command of the south wind.

With the surroundings sealed off and the sky filled with avalanches, the entire land was about to be covered in ice and snow. The Mega Garchomp immediately crouched down, its two scythes like two Luoyang shovels, easily breaking through the ground as soon as it landed.

They disappeared from the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

Use the simplest moves to dodge what seems to be the most destructive attack.

Rumble.

Even the raging, frozen earth is not so easily dodged.

The avalanche was vast and carried extremely low temperatures. The moment it landed, it froze the soil on the battlefield, including the Dragon God Scroll. Moreover, it was not pure snow, but more like flowing energy. Mega Garchomp burrowed into the ground, and the two snowflakes of the raging earth followed.

It has the momentum to blast through the earth.

An earthquake struck from the south.

The ground of the battlefield immediately trembled violently, the frozen Dragon God Scroll was instantly shattered and scattered on the ground, and the cold wave that was trying to invade the ground was also cut off by the earthquake.

The earth shattered, and Dragonite quickly flew into the sky.

But Garchomp's earthquake was just the beginning.

The next move was "Quicksand Hell"!

The earth, ravaged by the earthquake, was incredibly fragile. In the blink of an eye, the shattered land turned into a sea of ​​sand. In the very center, a huge vortex, like a millstone, swallowed and ground everything that fell into it, including the frozen tornado god and the endless cold wave.

Unfortunately, Dragonite has the Flying attribute, so Ground-type moves are ineffective against it.

Otherwise, with Garchomp's Divine Treasure Abundance alone, this would have been a one-sided massacre from the very beginning!

Dongfang Ming's eyes flashed, and he had some understanding of Nanfeng's Mega Garchomp's combat capabilities.

Aside from the dodge move Dig, a simple Earthquake + Quicksand Hell destroyed his original move "Dragon God Scroll" and Z-Move "Raging Earth Ice".

This demonstrates the formidable strength of this Garchomp in terms of Ground-type abilities.

"Oath of the Rocks!" Nanfeng shouted softly, using a technique he had developed.

Instantly, one after another huge rock sphere shot out from the vortex of the battlefield, trailing a yellowish-brown tail flame, heading straight for the Dragonite in mid-air.

Rock Pledge, a Rock-type move, is inspired by Fire Pledge, Grass Pledge, and Water Pledge.

This step poses no difficulty for Garchomp, a Ground-type Pokémon, since the essence of this move is to channel power underground and then launch an attack from below. Therefore, besides Rock Pledge, it can also be a Ground-type Rock Pledge or a Dragon-type Dragon Lord Pledge.

The Oath of Fire, the Oath of Grass, and the Oath of Water can be combined in sequence to create an effect that alters the terrain.
