Pokémon: Blessed by Fate, starting with the destruction of Tyranitar.

Li Huowang's Gengar used Shadow Ball on Zapdos.

Gengar's attack was so sudden that Zapdos, which was confronting Shiny Gyarados, was completely unaware that other Pokémon were attacking it from the sidelines.

After being hit by Gengar, Zapdos's HP dropped significantly, and it let out a scream.

Then, Zapdos quickly locked onto Gengar's location and unleashed an Electric Shock attack on it.

Just when Li Huowang thought his Gengar was about to lose a lot of HP to Zapdos's Electric Shock, his Swampert stepped forward and stood in front of Gengar.

Swampert's Ground-type typing allows it to completely ignore Zapdos's Thunderbolt move.

The results were minimal!

Upon seeing this, Li Huowang was completely bewildered.

His Gengar was right next to him when it suddenly rushed towards Zapdos, which was enough to give Li Huowang a headache.

Unexpectedly, his Swampert, which had been stored in a Poké Ball, suddenly rushed out and even blocked an attack for Gengar.

What is this?

Helpless as he was, Li Huowang could only open his backpack and check the Poké Balls containing his other Pokémon.

Fortunately, the other Poké Balls remained calm, and only Gengar and Swampert, both Champion-level Pokémon, attacked Zapdos.

The shiny Gyarados glanced indifferently at Gengar and Swampert, showing no intention of leaving.

The Zapdos hovering in the air seemed to have been successfully provoked by Li Huowang's Swampert and Gengar, and then swooped down towards Swampert.

"peck."!"

Li Huowang immediately recognized the Flying-type move that Zapdos was using at that moment.

This damage is not low, especially since Swampert is a Water/Ground type Pokémon. Once hit by Zapdos's Peck move, even if Swampert isn't instantly killed, its HP will definitely be low.

Just as Li Huowang was pondering how to deal with Zapdos's attack, Gengar's body lit up with purple light again, and it stood in front of Swampert.

By the time Zapdos noticed Gengar, it was too late to change its target, so it could only grit its teeth and continue pecking at Gengar.

Just as Li Huowang had expected, Gengar's defense was greatly increased after being amplified by the Celestial God, while its health only decreased slightly.

Even the color of the health bar didn't change at all.

"call!"

Li Huowang let out a long breath.

It seems that Gengar and Swampert are determined to work together to take down this Zapdos.

Li Huowang then began to command the Gengar on the field.

For Li Huowang, the only creatures that can currently counter Zapdos are the Poison and Ghost-type Gengar.

While Swampert might be able to counter Zapdos' Electric-type moves, it's helpless against Zapdos' Flying-type moves.

"Gengar, use Misfortune."

Li Huowang was relatively at ease with Gengar, which was affected by the amplification effect.

Gengar rushed up to Zapdos again and unleashed a double whammy on it.

As expected, Gengar slapped Zapdos three times in a row.

Zapdos was hit in a vital spot by Gengar once again.

What Li Huowang found somewhat regrettable was that Zapdos had relatively high defense. Even though Gengar attacked three times in a short period of time, and two of them hit critical hits, Zapdos's health remained at around half.

This is still a relatively healthy state.

After being attacked by Gengar, Zapdos seemed to realize that it couldn't deal much damage to Gengar, so it turned around and charged at the Swampert on Li Huowang's field.

Another pecking move.

This time, Gengar stopped Zapdos again.

"Gengar, use Shadow Ball."

As soon as Li Huowang finished speaking, Gengar charged at Zapdos again, and Shadow Ball hit Zapdos once more, causing Zapdos's health to drop again.

"it is good!"

Li Huowang narrowed his eyes slightly.

If things continue like this, it probably won't be long before Zapdos is completely defeated.

Once you can reduce Zapdos's health to near zero, things will be much easier.

However, to Li Huowang's surprise, Zapdos then unleashed a high-speed movement move.

Immediately afterwards, Zapdos' speed was boosted once again.

Thanks to the effects of the High Speed ​​Move, Zapdos' speed is now roughly on par with Gengar's.

"This High Speed ​​Boost skill actually increased Zapdos's speed stat by that much?"

For some reason, Li Huowang felt that the Zapdos he encountered on this voyage with the sailor Nobuaki was not quite what he had expected.

172. Successfully caught Zapdos and battled Shiny Gyarados.

At this moment, Zapdos launched another attack on Swampert.

With Zapdos' speed boosted to almost the same level as Gengar, even Gengar couldn't stop Zapdos.

Just as Zapdos launched its attack on Swampert, a purple light enveloped Swampert once again.

Seeing this, Li Huowang finally felt relieved.

For Li Huowang, he had been worried about whether Swampert could withstand Zapdos's Flying-type moves without being affected by Gengar's buff.

Now he can finally rest easy.

Swampert's health and defense were already much higher than any Swampert he had seen before, and with the boost from Gengar, it shouldn't be a problem to withstand one or two rounds.

More importantly, the Zapdos's health had dropped to about half, which generally shouldn't be a big problem.

"Snapped!"

Zapdos's Peck attack hit Swampert, and Swampert's health dropped slightly.

"Hiss! 823"

Sailor Nobuaki, who was watching from the sidelines, was immediately stunned when he saw that Li Huowang's Swampert was being hit by Zapdos with remarkable effect, and its health did not change much.

"Li Huowang, am I seeing things? Didn't your Swampert just get hit by Zapdos with amazing effect? ​​Its health and defense are terrifying!"

Only then did Xinming finally understand why he had lost to Li Huowang.

It turns out that the Swampert with champion-level strength that Li Huowang possesses is truly extraordinary.

"Haha, maybe it's just good luck." Li Huowang waved his hand with a smile.

Xinming naturally did not believe Li Huowang's response.

He had seen many Pokémon battles, but this was the first time he had ever seen one that could match the level of Li Huowang's Swampert.

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Xinming couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Huowang.

"You saw it with your own eyes. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Li Huowang helplessly spread his hands.

After Zapdos attacked Swampert, Li Huowang's Gengar unleashed another curse on Zapdos.

As expected, Gengar unleashed three more attacks, reducing Zapdos's health from half to one-third.

Upon noticing Zapdos's health, Li Huowang took a deep breath, knowing that he needed to start considering how to catch Zapdos.

With that thought in mind, Li Huowang immediately took out a Time Ball from his backpack and threw it towards Zapdos.

Regardless, Zapdos is a legendary Pokémon, and Li Huowang dared not be careless in dealing with it.

As the Time Ball flew close to Zapdos, it activated automatically, and a dazzling white light instantly enveloped Zapdos.

"It must succeed."

Li Huowang prayed silently in his heart.

If he can really capture this legendary Zapdos, then it will be much easier for him to face the challenges from other gyms.

After all, a dual-type Pokémon of Electric and Flying types has a relatively wide range of advantages and disadvantages.

The Zapdos was quickly absorbed into the Time Orb and began to shake violently.

Li Huowang stared intently at the time sphere, gradually holding his breath.

If the Time Ball cannot capture this Zapdos, then he will have wasted a Time Ball.

Fortunately, Gengar's buffing move also had some effect on Zapdos. The Time Ball that had captured Zapdos shook violently for a while before stopping and becoming still.

At the same time, Li Huowang's time orb returned to his hands.

"Finally, I've caught this Zapdos."

Li Huowang finally felt relieved.

However, Li Huowang didn't have time to check Zapdos's condition at the moment. Zapdos had just been hit to a low health state and then put into a Poké Ball by Li Huowang. It was almost impossible for it to recover in a short time.

Therefore, after putting away the Time Ball containing Zapdos, Li Huowang turned around again and looked at the red Shiny Gyarados not far away.

Although the red, shiny Gyarados hadn't left yet, Li Huowang was still worried that he might miss this opportunity.

Shiny Pokémon are quite rare. If I could acquire this red Shiny Gyarados and train it to Champion level, that would be a very good thing.

"Gengar, Swampert, block this shiny Gyarados."

Li Huowang quickly took charge, as he didn't want the shiny Gyarados to get away.

When the shiny Gyarados saw that Li Huowang's Gengar and Swampert were blocking both of his directions, its eyes became more wary.

This shiny Gyarados already knew it was about to be attacked by Gengar and Swampert.

173. The grumpy Shiny Gyarados, Gengar, and Swampert unleash a barrage of attacks.

Therefore, Gyarados immediately let out a deafening roar at Swampert and Gengar, who were surrounding it, appearing extremely angry.

Even Xinming and Li Huowang, who were standing not far away, were so shocked by Gyarados's roar that their eardrums hurt.

"This shiny Gyarados looks really aggressive. It doesn't resemble our Gym Leader's Gyarados at all, nor does it resemble the Gyarados of the fisherman Hisao," Shinmei said quietly.

"This is perfectly normal."

Li Huowang explained, "After all, this is a wild Gyarados, and it's definitely different from the Gyarados that a regular Pokémon trainer evolves from Magikarp."

Li Huowang knew that when Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, the structure of its brain will also undergo corresponding changes and even a series of reconstructions.

It is precisely because of this that Gyarados's temperament is not very stable.

If it were a Gyarados that had been with its Pokémon trainer since its Magikarp days, that would be fine, but the shiny Gyarados they were facing was wild.

In the wild, Magikarp must go through many fierce battles to evolve into Gyarados.

Since this Gyarados didn't leave, it means that its strength is likely far beyond their imagination.

Thinking this, Li Huowang immediately looked up at the shiny Gyarados and began to analyze it seriously.

Before long, under the monitoring of the system inside Li Huowang's body, the basic information about the shiny Gyarados appeared in his mind.

This shiny Gyarados is level 89, just one step away from level 90.

Furthermore, Li Huowang speculated that this shiny Gyarados must possess some powerful moves.

Otherwise, when the Champion-level Swampert and the Champion-level Gengar surrounded the Gyarados, the Gyarados would have escaped.

The fact that this shiny Gyarados chose to fight Gengar and Swampert shows that it has its own confidence.

"Gengar, use Shadow Ball."

Li Huowang said something to the Gengar on the field.

Upon hearing this, Gengar immediately charged towards the Gyarados and launched an attack.

Gengar's Shadow Ball move hit Shiny Gyarados, but Shiny Gyarados's HP only dropped slightly.

Upon seeing this, Li Huowang was stunned.

It's worth noting that his Gengar was currently receiving a buff from the Synergy Star, which significantly increased its attack power. However, Gengar's Shadow Ball move failed to deal substantial damage.

This means that this shiny Gyarados has relatively high HP and defense.

If Dragon-type Pokémon possessed such powerful physical defense, that would be one thing.
