Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

Steelix has arrived!

Against Steel/Rock-type Aggron, which boasts exceptional defensive capabilities, what would be a better choice than Steelix, a Ground-type with even stronger defense?

"Kora!!" Aggron roared, and a faint light appeared in the center of its silver-white helmet, which then gathered into a dazzling ball of light.

The next second, the ball of light exploded, and a silvery-white beam shot straight toward Steelix.

"Cannon light cannon!"

"Steel Snake, use Earthquake!"

Steelix stood still for a moment, ignoring Aggron's attack. Both Pokémon are known for their strong defense and slow speed, so dodging would be the most ridiculous thing to do!

It's all about who's tougher and stronger!

Its long, heavy tail was raised high and then slammed to the ground.

"Boom!"

The entire Phantom Tower shook from this attack.

The South couldn't help but worry: would Steelix's Earthquake move collapse the Phantom Tower?

The beam cannon struck Steelix, and the impact alone caused Steelix to tilt backward, but had no other effect.

Steelix's Earthquake move...

A violent shockwave rippled out from where its tail struck, accompanied by spiderweb-like cracks appearing on the ground, spreading in all directions as if to completely destroy the ground!

Abosco Dora, amidst this terrifying power, is like a small boat sailing on the ocean during a stormy day; a single wave could swallow it whole!

As the aftershocks of the earthquake dissipated and the ground tremors ceased, Aggron, who had been standing opposite Nanfeng, lay on the ground. Fine cracks appeared on its jet-black armor, and its eyes swirled in the air. Its pre-battle arrogance had vanished.

[Defeat Aggron LV47, gain 3334 experience]

"Wild Pokémon just give so little experience," Nanfeng complained. The experience provided by the level 47 Aggron he defeated in the wild was even less than that provided by Asha's level 42 Arcanine.

Throw out a Poké Ball to capture Aggron.

Although I already have a Golden Aggron, if a Level 47 Aggron has excellent potential, it would be nice to open a breeding hut in the future, train it myself, and sell the finished Pokémon.

Furthermore, with so many Cocoa Dora on Dr. Birch's ranch, there should be a big brother there to oversee things.

I can say that I've helped Dr. Birch solve his problem.

Pick up the Poké Ball to check its stats.

Boss Dora (Steel, Rock)

【Level: 47】

【Ability: Hard Head (Immune to the recoil damage from its own moves.)】

Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (23), Defense (31), Special Defense (24), Speed ​​(21)

[Skills: Metallic Sound, Harden, Metal Claw, Rock Tomb, Roar, Headbutt, Protect, Rock Slide, Iron Head, Slam, Cannon Cannon]

[Item carried: Metal membrane]

Wow, those are some pretty impressive base stats!

It has 3Vs: stamina, attack, and defense, and the other three attributes are also above 20.

To reiterate, if Nanfeng didn't have Shiny Gold Dora, he might have used this level 47 Aggron Dora directly.

There was one more item to carry.

Nanfeng took it down and discovered that it was a treasure-level metal membrane.

The increase was 25%.

That's right, with my two Steel-type Pokémon, I can take down any number of rare Steel-type Pokémon items!

The Poké Ball was automatically transferred to the computer.

Nanfeng stepped onto the second floor.

(Bonus chapter, still thirteen chapters owed. I'll be out as usual from Friday to Sunday evenings, no extra chapters).

107. Tyranitar!

The second level, Golem LV50.

Nanfeng said that he likes to fight high-level Pokémon that are not strong but have obvious weaknesses.

The Rock/Ground type Golem didn't last two moves against Greninja.

It was severely injured by a Water Shuriken attack; the fact that it wasn't instantly killed shows it's a high-level creature with a tough physique. Then, Greninja finished it off with a Water Pulse.

Judging from Greninja's combat strength, Nanfeng felt that after leveling it up a few more times, it could try to clear the Fire Project dungeon. Crimson Pine's trump card was undoubtedly Camerupt. It was weak to both rocks and water, and with the addition of a Steelix to his team, taking down a level 50 Camerupt shouldn't be a problem.

South Wind still managed to catch the level 50 Golem. Checking its stats, its IVs are Attack + Defense 2V, which is not bad.

Judging from the results of these captures, the Pokémon encountered in the three-story Phantom Tower seem to have relatively good individual values.

A level 50 Pokémon with double VIP status—I could easily use it as an immediate fighting force.

For example, when hunting the Diamond Onix, if Nanfeng had had a level 50 (not level 30) Golem to help, he might not have had to wait to set up the trap to catch the Diamond Onix.

Step onto the third floor.

The oncoming gale filled Nanfeng's mouth with sand.

The sandstorm was extremely strong on this floor, as if the sandstorm outside the Phantom Tower had flown into the third floor. But when Nanfeng focused his eyes and saw the figure in the very center of the third floor, he immediately understood.

Standing in the very center of the third level is none other than Tyranitar, the Sandstorm Emperor!

only.

"How come this Tyranitar is so big?" Nanfeng was surprised.

A typical Tyranitar is about three meters long, but this Tyranitar in front of us is at least five meters long! This is no longer a matter of individual differences!

Its enormous size is somewhat bizarre.

With its dark green armor, ferocious appearance, and mountain-like size, it's practically a miniature Godzilla! The surrounding yellow sand was whipped up by the gale, enveloping it, making it look like it was wearing sandstorm armor at first glance!

"Could it be Tyranitar?" Nanfeng guessed, the more he looked at its sandstorm armor, the more it seemed like a Tyranitar's aura mixed with yellow sand.

The Pokémon's size is unusually large; it's either a Totem Pokémon or a Dynamax Pokémon. Clearly, this Tyranitar doesn't meet the size requirements for a Dynamax Pokémon, so it can only be a Totem Pokémon!

However... isn't it a bit illogical for a dominant spirit to appear here?

Aren't Totem Pokémon a specialty of Alola?

Could it be that this Tyranitar is from Alola?

"Whoosh," Nanfeng let out a soft breath, no longer thinking about it.

Given the example of the Rogue Crocodile, it shouldn't be surprising to see spirits from all over the world appearing in the Tower of Phantoms. This game is no longer just Emerald.

In addition, this is good news for me as well.

Tyranitar, the Overlord, tsk tsk, isn't that the core Sandstorm caster of my Sandstorm team?!

If its individual stats are good, this Tyranitar will be far stronger than a regular Tyranitar. Even if you trade it for a shiny Tyranitar, Nanfeng might not agree.

Shiny Tyranitar may not be strong, but Totem Tyranitar is definitely strong!

However, a big problem lies before Southwind: if he wants to subdue Tyranitar, he must first defeat it.

Tyranitar LV52.

The highest-level Pokémon Nanfeng has is Garchomp at level 42.

So this will be a tough battle.

"Please, Blaziken!" Nanfeng threw out a Poké Ball.

From a distance, Tyranitar's gaze was cold and filled with utter disdain.

As a tyrannical elf, it has no interest in bullying the weak.

"Blaziken, use Cry!" Although Fighting-type has a four-fold advantage over Tyranitar, Nanfeng really hadn't considered using a level 36 Blaziken to fight Tyranitar, which is 16 levels higher.

If you carry six Pokémon with you, then you should make the most of their strengths.

Wheel battle!

"Chirp~~~" Blaziken howled loudly.

Since it evolved into Blaziken, its previous childish voice is gone, replaced by a deeper, more resonant howl.

Upon hearing this voice, a flash of anger suddenly appeared in Tyranitar's cold eyes.

It has no interest in bullying the weak, but it will never tolerate the weak challenging it!

He opened his mouth slightly, and a blinding white light shot out!

It's a destructive ray!

"Boom!" The wall on one side of the Phantom Tower was instantly pierced, leaving a huge gap, and the Blaziken was nowhere to be found.

Nanfeng broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this.

As expected of Tyranitar, a true overlord. In real life, Pokémon use Hyper Beam with at least a short charging animation, but this one doesn't need to charge at all! It seems this Tyranitar uses Hyper Beam quite often.

Before Nanfeng could even react, the Blaziken was gone.

Fortunately, in the game, Pokémon automatically return to their Poké Balls after losing their battle ability, so Nanfeng doesn't have to worry about where Blaziken went.

Although it was instantly defeated, Blaziken's tactical objective was achieved.

Shout: Reduces the target's attack by 1 level.

I just don't know how much effect Blaziken's cry will have on Tyranitar.

The real world is naturally not the same as a game.

The weaker the Pokémon using the Growl move is compared to the target, the weaker the effect will be.

Nanfeng took the second Poké Ball from his waist and released it.

The featured Pokémon is Cadoram!

"Kadora, use Metal Sound!"

"Kora!!" Kodora roared softly, and when she opened her mouth, a harsh, metallic sound came out.

The sound gave Nanfeng goosebumps.

And Banji (Noho) was even more irritable!

He opened his mouth and unleashed another destructive beam of light!

Nanfeng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Seriously, isn't there a period of time after using Hyper Beam? How could you fire a Hyper Beam in a row?

Tyranitar: Didn't I just stand still?

A dazzling white light once again filled Nanfeng and Kedora's eyes.

Nanfeng had no command, and even if he did, it wouldn't have mattered. The slow-moving Kodora couldn't possibly dodge, let alone defend against it.

The level difference between the two sides is nearly 20 levels!

However, Kodora's mission is already complete.

Metallic Sound: Reduces the target's Special Defense by 2 stages.

The weakening tactics before the actual battle were basically completed. It was a little regrettable that Blaziken only used its Crow move because of its speed.

The next four Pokémon are Southwind's main force in this battle.

108. Invincible Tyrant!!!

"Steelcore, Earthquake!" Nanfeng raised his hand and threw out two Poké Balls.

As Steelix landed, its massive size and ferocious aura immediately made it a target for Tyranitar.

Finally, a stronger opponent has arrived!

Another Pokémon that appeared at the same time as Steelix was Gardevoir. As soon as she appeared, she used her psychic powers to pull Southwind's body into the air.

Unfortunately, the seemingly huge arena was a bit too small compared to the two behemoths, Steelix and Tyranitar.
