Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 349 Super Electro Dragon VS Loreton

However, upon arriving at the gym battle arena, Ami realized that she might have misunderstood Natsume.

The battleground is now open.

"Go, little groundhog!"

A red light flashed, and a groundhog appeared with three tufts of hair on its head.

Judging from its size, it appears to be a young, low-ranking ground squirrel.

"While Ground-type moves are indeed immune to Electric-type moves, my Ampharos is quite versatile!"

Ami couldn't help but remind her.

Natsume, her adversary, seemed to have taken her words to heart and recalled the little groundhog.

The battlefield is now closed.

"Go, Lollerton!"

Immediately, Natsume pulled out a Pokémon that clearly had the Flying attribute.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're underestimating me too much!" Ami frowned, looking at the Pokémon she didn't recognize.

"Alright, referee, please enter the field." Natsume looked at Ami on the other side of the field with a strange expression.

What are you babbling about? He deliberately released the little groundhog so that the other party could gain some experience points.

After the battle with Celebi, Natsume deeply realized the importance of instant-kill techniques.

The key is to improve the little ground squirrel's level as much as possible during the upcoming journey.

"Alright, this Gym Challenge will be between challenger Natsume and Gym Leader Ami!"

Ke Xia, wearing a hat and holding a small flag, stood on the referee's platform.

"The battle rules are for assessment purposes, and challengers may use a maximum of two Pokémon!"

After Kesha finished announcing the rules, Mega Electro Dragon leaped up and arrived opposite Loreton.

"This is a test match, and my main purpose is to assess the opponent."

"My main purpose is to test Loletton's new abilities, so please make sure you use your full strength."

Before Ami could finish speaking, Natsume interrupted her.

“…” Ami’s lips twitched slightly.

She felt that Natsume wasn't there to challenge the dojo, but rather to find a sparring partner.

But when she met Natsume's serious gaze, Ami swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Alright then, Jasmine, 100,000 volts!"

As soon as Ami finished speaking, lightning began to crackle around the Super Electric Dragon.

"Sizzle~" The electrical construction site was covered in purple light.

"Uno!"

With a roar, the Mega Electric Dragon unleashed a thick bolt of lightning that spread through the air, creating a dense web of cracks, and hurtled straight toward Loreton.

"If I'm not mistaken, your Pokémon named Loletta must be a Flying-type, right?"

Ami looked at Loletta with great interest.

She guessed correctly; because they were in a hurry, the Firebird Slab was inserted into her Loletton body.

"Transform!"

With a loud shout from Natsume, Loletton suddenly disintegrated in mid-air, dodging the 100,000 volts while changing form.

"boom!"

The towering figure landed, and Loreton in human form stood before Mega Electro Dragon.

"This is the first time I've seen Natsume's Loletta fight in this form!"

Off the field, the crowd was excited.

Xiao Zhi even took out his phone to record a video.

"Huh? When did you become so good at learning?" Xiaoxia looked at the other person in surprise.

"What learning? It was Natsume-nii who made me hold up my phone and record it." Xiaozhi looked at the other person with a strange expression.

"It's nothing," Xiaoxia said, covering her face.

She thought Ash had finally figured things out and wanted to record Natsume and Ami's battles so he could find a way to fight.

After all, that super electric dragon looked really powerful.

"Celebi Plate!" Natsume said as Ash turned on the recording.

"Kacha!"

A greenish-blue stone slab popped out from Loletton's chest and was caught between the other's fingers.

"That is."

Ami was taken aback, realizing that what the other person had taken out was the "energy-infused" plate. "Click, clang!" It was inserted and pressed.

The emerald green light instantly spread throughout Loletton's entire body.

The once shiny, metallic-looking machine body has now begun to turn into wood.

The deep brown, matte finish gives the impression that the wood must be extremely heavy.

[Celebi Stone, Psychic + Grass, learned!]

As the mechanical sound subsided, rings slowly appeared on Loletton's chest, and a bluish-green mist surged out, as if the machine was reborn, with tender buds sprouting in many places.

"Superpowers + Grass?"

Ami was taken aback, but quickly realized that Loletton's attributes had changed.

"Jasmine, be careful!"

"Loletton, try using the power of the stone tablet," Natsume instructed.

Lollerton nodded, but remained frozen in place.

"Perfect opportunity, use Dragon Pulse!"

Ami seized the opening, and a massive amount of energy condensed in the Super Electric Dragon's hand.

"boom!"

A massive, dark purple shockwave was unleashed, striking Loreton directly.

Smoke billowed as Loletton was forced back half a step, revealing scorch marks on his wooden chest armor.

Mega Ampharos has an extremely high Special Attack and excellent Defense and Durability. Apart from its somewhat awkward Speed, which is neither high nor low, it is impeccable in all other aspects.

Why didn't the Celebi Slab grant Loreton a skill like the Giratina Slab did?
Natsume frowned slightly, then changed his mind and gave the order:

"Dragon God dives!"

"Whoosh!"

Loletton soared into the sky, surging with turquoise energy that tinged the dragon god's phantom behind him with a faint green hue, resembling a giant wooden dragon swooping down towards the ground.

"Quickly open!"

Ami gave the order, but Natsume shook his head slightly.

It's impossible to dodge it; Mega Electro Dragon's speed is extremely low.

Although Loredon's base stats are all divided into hexagons, and its speed stat is lower than that of its Motorcycle form, it is still not something Mega Ampharos can compete with.

"boom!"

Unexpectedly, the dragon god swooped down and struck the open ground.

"Jasmine, well done!" Ami's excited voice rang out.

"Ok?"

Natsume stared at the Super Electric Dragon with a strange look; the dragon's eyes were still shimmering with purple.

His body was quite excited, moving rhythmically as if he might take action at any moment.

"It's not just about skill power; it also has a speed-boosting effect?"

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

It now appears that the purple mist created by the fusion of Dark Aura's psychic power and Evergreen power can comprehensively enhance all of a Pokémon's attributes.

So, does that mean he can now boost Pokémon's power outside of battle?
Although he had this idea, Natsume did not try it; he chose to let Loletton stand still.

"Huh?" Ami looked at the other person in confusion.

"Go ahead and attack."

Natsume said frankly.

He has verified that the skill that the Silabhi Tablets granted to Loletton cannot be activated on its own.

The Dragon God's Dive from before remained almost unchanged and did not follow the skill's release.

It seems that only by passively taking hits can one see any effect.

"In that case, I won't be polite!"

"Jasmine, Flame Fist!"

"Uno!"

The Super Electric Dragon raised its fists, and what flickered from them was actually a faint purple flame.

The opponent's speed was several times faster than the electric dragon Natsume remembered; it disappeared as soon as it touched the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the flaming fist reached Loletton's head.

"boom!"

Outstanding effect.
