Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 338 Slow Dragon
Valuable rotations are the essence of effective team defense; randomly switching Pokémon to give the opponent kills or boost their own is simply a waste of opportunities.

May had to deal with the Flame Fox, which had been "tricked" twice, so she immediately had Altaria use an Ice-type move after it appeared.

The "black mist" spread outwards from the center of the Tanabata Bluebird.

The fire fox was naturally not deterred by this level of obstacle and, as always, chose "mental power".

However, this time it unexpectedly discovered that Haruka's Altaria had a special skill: the "black mist" it released could even reduce the power of opponents whose abilities had increased.

Whether it's a spirit whose abilities have been enhanced or the moves it uses, they all become mediocre when they come into contact with this "black mist"...

Nevertheless, the Azure Bird was still no match for the Fire Fox in its normal state, and its "Psychic Power" still penetrated the "Black Mist" and hit the target accurately.

But this time it made no attempt to break free or resist; instead, it played its final role by releasing a "rain-seeking" spell to change the weather.

The Altaria, slammed to the ground, lost its ability to fight, but before leaving the field, it used "Rain Dance," "Death Song," and "Tailwind," laying the foundation for its teammates to win the battle.

In that instant, Link figured out Haruka's strategy.

The early use of "Rain Dance" was intended to weaken Fire-type attacks while paving the way for the Rain-type heroes. Since she's unlikely to choose Swampert after losing her Mega Evolution, there's only one answer—

"Come out, Reginald!"

"Dragonite, prepare for battle."

Almost simultaneously, Link decisively recalled the Fire Fox.

The electric pillar was too powerful; it would be dangerous for the Fire Fox, which had eaten the Extinction Song, to stay on the field, steal items, and then leave.

Seeing this, May thought it was a pity. Her Regigigas's electricity was strong enough to destroy the surrounding electromagnetic equipment, causing all the parts and chips inside the Poké Ball to malfunction.

In this way, the Poké Ball cannot emit light, and it must be retrieved by the most primitive method of contact.

Although professional trainers can react quickly, those few seconds are definitely enough for Regigigas to take the opportunity to eliminate the opponent's Pokémon.

Dragonite, which replaced Fennekin, arrived in the pouring rain and instinctively flapped its wings to repel the "black mist" left behind by Altaria.

It then looked at its opponent, a transistor restrained by a strange device.

What the heck? How can it look so strange?

"Don't be careless, the effectiveness of props is also limited."

Dragonite is carrying a Sky Ball this time, which makes Flying-type Pokémon immune to Electric-type moves.

Link had already tested its worth in countless Dream Sky battles before – it was nothing special, its power was high enough that it could ignore any immunity or absorption.

Nevertheless, it does provide Flying-type users with immunity to Electric-type attacks, and Dragonite's "Multiscale" should allow them to react before being KO'd.

To be honest, so far, she has defeated all her Pokémon in the tournament in seconds. Link doesn't know the true strength of May's Regigigas, so he can only trust that Dragonite can withstand the first move.

With the "Tailwind" buff, Regigigas undoubtedly seized the initiative. In the blink of an eye, a violent "Thunder" descended from the sky, piercing through Dragonite like an arrow.

Even without any enhancements, the sheer power and intensity of this "Thunder Strike" move caused many spectators' electronic devices to momentarily freeze or even be damaged on the spot, and it also created an "electric field" filled with electricity on the battlefield.

Before Dragonite could even react, it had already been hit with an attack that was almost fatal.

However, Dragonite is not weak to electricity; its "Multiscales" provide protection, and its Sky Ball absorbs a large amount of current.

Ultimately, it seemed that it wasn't seriously injured, at least not within an acceptable range.

This is the power of targeted item adjustments.

Regigi's attack not only failed to severely damage Dragonite, but instead fueled its fighting spirit.

Before it could retaliate, another "Thunder" attack, amplified by "Electric Terrain" and even more powerful than before, descended from the sky and struck the Dragonite precisely. This ferocious, rapid, and relentless barrage of attacks is precisely Regice's greatest strength.

Realizing this, Dragonite immediately changed its offensive strategy, donned a ferocious dragon aura, and charged at its opponent with "Dragon Dive".

It should have hit, but in reality, Pokémon with excellent speed and reaction time have the biggest advantage.

Using his electromagnetic manipulation skills, Regigigas easily dodged Dragonite's full-force dive and countered with a "Lightning Cage" to trap it in place.

Displeased with this, Dragonite decisively activated "Extreme Speed" to catch up with explosive power, but unexpectedly, Regigigas also possessed "Extreme Speed".

Dragonite's "Extreme Speed" and Regice's "Extreme Speed" can both greatly increase the user's speed, but the increase is completely different.

Almost instantly, Dragonite realized that it could never win in a speed contest and would only be worn down by electric shocks while constantly chasing.

Regiereki's electricity is too powerful, and even with the Sky Sphere, it is gradually feeling the burden... This item will soon be burst by the electric shock!
Link wasn't surprised by the result, but May was particularly puzzled that Dragonite could withstand six or seven "Thunder" attacks.

Does this Dragonite have the "lightning rod" property?

But fortunately, the scales of victory are still tipping in her favor.

Admittedly, Regice's defense is exceptionally low (for a legendary Pokémon), but it's pointless if you can't hit it!
In this situation, Dragonite cannot safely use "Dragon Dance" or "Tailwind" to increase its speed.

What solution?

It looked at its trainer behind it, urging him to stop watching.

Link shrugged; the answer was simple.

"Too crystalline."

Regiereki's moves are almost entirely Electric-type, so the correct choice is obvious.

Although the combination of Crystallized Ground-type Dragonite is really a minefield and bizarre, Crystallization exists precisely for this kind of situation!

With Link clarifying the strategy from the rear, the Miracle Badge of the Divine Plan was lit up, bursting forth with a brilliant and dazzling light.

The power of the crystal was transmitted along the invisible bond between the trainer and the Pokémon, causing Dragonite's body to radiate a thick and stable brown glow, covered with strange brown crystals.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao immediately felt troubled. Link's Pokémon's attributes would change every time it crystallized, and this time, the glance at the ground was definitely a choice made to target Regigigas.

but……

"Regierech, 'Lightning Cage'!"

The high-voltage current, supported by the "Electrical Field," formed a cage that covered Dragonite's entire body.

May promptly recalled Regice and sent out her Swampert.

The attributes of the monster will change after crystallization, so use the Water-type Swampert to defeat the Dragonite that has transformed into a Ground-type monster!

Link sighed; he had thought Xiaoyao would just go straight for the top.

"Come back, Dragonite."

However, when he tried to recall Dragonite and switch to Urgot, he discovered that Dragonite's Poké Ball was malfunctioning.

So that's what Xiaoyao was planning...

　I missed one chapter yesterday due to writer's block, but I might make up for it today. However, it seems unlikely that I'll continue writing about battles without experiencing writer's block.
