Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

"Phi!" Pidgey flapped its wings.

The dazzling and sharp star-shaped light bullets poured down like a sudden storm, covering the area where the Giant Carnivorous Flower was located.

This is its most skillful long-range attack, whose power and accuracy have been honed through countless trials.

The training direction for Pidgey is wide-area bomber.

Seeing this, Lijia's eyes flashed with admiration: "A very clever tactic, making full use of the Flying-type's air superiority. Victreebel, Razor Leaf, intercept!"

Besides this move, Grass-type doesn't have many other good anti-air moves.

The attack range of the seed machine gun is not as large as that of the flying leaf dagger.

Although the magic leaf can be guided, it flies too slowly.

The leaf storm consumed too much energy and had too much load.

The Sunbeam has a fast attack speed and great power, but it requires charging.

The giant food flower roared, and the leaves around its body trembled violently.

Numerous sharp blades grow out and are then launched.

The green, spun upwards like a flying knife, attempting to knock the high-speed star down in mid-air.

For a moment, starlight collided and annihilated with green leaves, producing a continuous crackling sound.

boom.

boom.

boom--

However, just as Ash predicted, although Victreebel's Razor Leaf Blades were dense, they were not very effective at intercepting high-speed stars that fell from the sky and had unpredictable trajectories.

When you shoot something from the ground into the sky, it is bound to be affected by gravity.

It's much easier to attack from the sky to the ground.

And the biggest difference is that Pidgey flies around in the sky, so Razor Leaf can't hit it at all.

On the ground, the giant food flower moves too slowly; it simply cannot dodge the high-speed stars.

That's the power of air superiority.

Many of the high-speed stars that passed through the obstruction of the flying leaf blades accurately struck the giant carnivore's massive body, causing it to let out a muffled groan of pain.

Individual damage is not significant, but the sheer number of them can cause significant damage.

We can't just defend; that would be too inefficient.

"Grass-type Pokémon do indeed rely heavily on moves like Razor Leaf for air-based attacks," Rika commented with a slight nod.

His tone carried the guidance of a senior.

"But Ash, if your Pidgeotto only relies on its speed to dodge, it won't be able to make my Victoire leave its advantageous position so easily."

Rika knew very well that Victreebel was a quiet predator.

It is adept at making the vines growing on its head move around like small creatures to lure prey, and when the prey gets close, it opens its big mouth and swallows it whole.

Then it kills its prey with the dissolving fluid inside its body.

Exposing one's own existence puts one at a disadvantage in future head-on battles.

Ecosystem and food chain – this is an important factor independent of Pokémon types and races.

Some types of Pokémon are not good at League battles.

In some ways, the Rainbow Gym is the easiest of all the gyms to get through... at least for Flying and Fire-type Pokémon.

"Then keep attacking, Pidgeotto!" Ash pressed his advantage. "Increase the power of Swift, don't give it a chance to breathe!"

Pidgey's figure performed irregular high-speed maneuvers in the air above the field, while its wings flapped incessantly, sending wave after wave of high-speed stars at Victoire from different angles.

The giant carnivore futilely waved its vines and leaves, but due to the vast difference in speed and range, it was unable to effectively retaliate and could only passively endure the attacks, gradually accumulating more and more wounds.

“It seems that ranged attacks are at our disadvantage.” Lijia didn’t panic; instead, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. “Velociraptor, take root! Then fight a war of attrition with him.”

The ability to take root is a defining characteristic of Grass-type Pokémon.

Long battery life is Grass-type's forte.

Upon hearing this, the giant food flower instantly sprouted countless thick roots from its feet, deeply embedding themselves in the soil and connecting with the earth to slowly recover its strength.

It's a beautiful sunny day right now.

Sunny weather combined with moist soil is ideal for Grass-type Pokémon to fight long battles.

However, Rika knew very well that if this dragged on... the Giant Victreebel definitely couldn't withstand the high-speed star attacks for long.

So her real purpose was simply to allow the giant carnivore to recover its strength while simultaneously accumulating power.

The giant carnivore let out a deep, rumbling growl, its massive body trembling slightly under the continuous, high-speed impacts of the stars.

Its small eyes were fixed on the golden figure that nimbly darted through the air, filled with resentment and anger.

But it remembered its trainer's instructions, endured the excruciating pain, and sent more roots deep into the fertile soil beneath its feet, greedily absorbing the energy of the earth and the sun.

At the same time, a hidden yet powerful grass-type energy began to accumulate wildly within its body.

In daily training, "rooting" corresponds to starting to build up strength.

Theoretically, it is suitable for a protracted war, but it is not capable of a protracted war.

Misleading the trainer with commands is also part of the tactics.

laugh.

What? You actually believe me?

How silly~

You've been scammed!

"Now, Big Eater!" Rika shouted, seizing the opportunity.

"Gah——!!!"

The giant carnivore unleashed an unprecedented roar.

It releases all the pain it has endured and the power it has accumulated.

Its massive body trembled violently, and countless leaves flashing with blinding green light burst forth from its body, as if igniting a green storm.

Instant time

The entire battlefield was enveloped in wildly spinning blades, forming a massive, destructive vortex.

It's—Ye Baofeng!

This move has an incredibly wide range, almost completely blocking all possible escape routes for Pidgey.

Against highly mobile enemies.

Either use a high-speed attack to hit precisely.

Either use a wide-area attack to leave him with nowhere to escape.

The sharp blades, like countless flying knives, swept upwards with a shrill whistling sound as they tore through the air.

"Pidgeotto!" Ash's heart jumped into his throat.

The scene of the storm that night was indeed magnificent.

Fortunately, Pidgey will hold the line.

The Pidgey in the air was instantly swallowed up by this green storm of death.

My body was rocking violently like a small boat in a storm, as if it would be torn apart at any moment.

There was an exclamation from the audience.

However, Pidgey managed to hold on in the end.

The defensive effect of the guard protected its body.

It struggled to maintain its shape in the storm, flapping its wings desperately, and managed to withstand the attack, which had a very large range but whose power was dispersed precisely because of its large range.

[Hold on]... No wonder it's an essential skill to learn.

The storm gradually subsided.

Pidgey hovered in the air, panting.

It had many small scratches on its body and its feathers were disheveled, but its eyes remained sharp and its fighting spirit undiminished.

Pidgey's Protect skill level is only LV1.

However, this skill doesn't need to be very high to begin with.

After all, Pidgey mainly relies on speed to dodge, rather than on physical strength to withstand attacks.

The giant Victoire, which had unleashed such a powerful attack in the center of the arena, seemed to have had all its strength drained away.

Its roots retracted softly, its massive body swayed, its eyes dimmed, and it crashed heavily onto the grass, which had been ravaged by its own skills.

The referee immediately waved the flag: "Victoire is unable to battle, Pidgeotto wins!"

first round.

Ash secured the first win thanks to his effective counter-strategy and Pidgeotto's outstanding performance!

……

……

(Thinking back to the past... Gara drew the Sunbow... It was damn strong)

(By the way, this new hero in King of Glory is really weak in the early game and incredibly fragile.)

(Everyone says Lu Bu has no late-game potential... this one has even less of a late-game potential.)

Chapter 103 Pidgey: One Against Two, I'm So Excited!

"Although it's a bit of a trick, this Pidgey has a good ability to adapt."

"He is a very hardworking child."

Lijia sincerely praised.

"You have proven your ability."

"Come back and rest, Big Eater, you've worked hard."

Lijia's voice remained gentle.

She gracefully recalled her Victreebel, and another Poké Ball appeared in her hand.

"Your Pidgeotto is indeed excellent, but Grass-type resilience goes beyond that."

"Go, vine monster!"

A strangely shaped Pokémon, entwined with blue vines, appeared on the field, its red eyes fixed on the Pidgey in the air.

However, the vine monster's appearance really doesn't suit Rika...

"Pidgeotto, can you hold on?" Ash asked loudly, his voice filled with concern.

Continuous high-intensity flight and skill releases pose a significant challenge to Pidgeot's stamina.

Fighting while flying with wings is never easy; on the contrary, it is quite physically demanding.

After all, this isn't like flying slowly with the wind, where you can use leverage.

Instead, it involves high-intensity flight with rapid turns and constant use of attack skills.

"Pip!" Pidgey cried out firmly, indicating that it could still fight.

The continuous intense battles and high-speed movement had indeed exhausted it, but its eyes remained sharp.

But this is our first official battle!

Pidgey rarely speaks.

But it wants to win for Ash!

An excited will compels the body to exert even more physical strength.
