Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 409 King of the Crane Crown, Let's Go on a Trip

"Greninja vs. Rillaboom? In terms of type, Greninja is at a disadvantage."

Prandina watched Greninja and Rumble Golem facing off on the field.

After all, Greninja is weak to Grass-type, which naturally puts it at a disadvantage in battle.

"It's not that there's no room for maneuver; it still depends on the strength and command of both sides, but..."

Gadria looked at the Thunder King Kong on the field. This Thunder King Kong had a very strong aura!

This made Gadriya look at Xiaoyou with a different eye; this girl... seemed to be a 'monster' as well.

How strange!

Gadriya looked at Xiaoyou, whose face was sweet and clean. How many 'monsters' like this had she seen in the past year?

Trainers with this kind of talent should be very, very rare.

Do they always encounter such newcomers while exploring a historical site?

“This Thunder King Kong must be very powerful,” Plantina said, expressing her opinion.

She could also sense that this battle would not be easy for Serena.

But this is a good thing, because this girl wants to join the Rockets. With Yu's addition, the Rockets will undoubtedly be stronger.

"Hmm, what a pity."

Mammon looked at the handsome and aloof Greninja and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He had specifically researched this; the freely transforming and free-spirited beings of this world were already a version that had been nerfed from the ninth generation of his previous life.

The original abilities, Flexibility and Freedom, are still very powerful, because Flexibility allows Greninja to change to the same type as the move it uses when it attacks.

In this way, no matter what move Greninja uses, it will receive a STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus).

Moreover, when facing certain opponents, it can also use its adaptability to gain resistance or even immunity.

For example, when fighting Electric-type Pokémon, it can switch to Ground type using its ability, and when fighting Psychic type, it can switch back to Dark type, constantly switching to gain the upper hand and take the initiative.

However, after Generation IX, both the ability to transform and the ability to free were nerfed. In a battle, the ability can only be activated once, and it can only be activated again after being replaced.

As a result, the practicality of these two features is greatly reduced. Although there is still some room for maneuver, it is only a tiny bit left.

The Torrent ability can also boost Greninja's Water-type moves when it's in a bad state, providing an opportunity to turn the tide of battle.

The battle on the field began.

Serena did not replace Greninja as her starter Pokémon. Although Greninja is not her ace now, it is definitely a core member of her team.

Serena was quite confident in Greninja, especially since it was only a slight type disadvantage, and she had fought battles with type disadvantages before.

Greninja isn't only Water-type; it also has Dark-type.

However, this grassy terrain is indeed a bit troublesome, because the power of Grass-type moves used by Pokémon is increased on grassy terrain.

However, Greninja has a speed advantage.

"Boom! King Kong! Grass Slide!"

Xiao You decisively gave the order and launched an attack.

The Rumble Gorilla sprinted towards Greninja, and after a certain distance, it slid backward, the grass on the ground providing the most comfortable environment for it to slide.

Grass-type move Grass Slide is normally just a regular Grass-type move, but on Grassy Terrain, it becomes a priority move!

This is the value of a green grass field.

Mammon clicked his tongue in amazement at what he saw.

Tigers, leopards, bears, and gorillas! Tigers, leopards, bears, and

Why were Rumble and Incineroar on par with the legendary Urshifu and Leopard in the Pokémon games of their previous lives?

Because of their strength, the power of Pokémon is never just about battle power; the word 'strength' is a general term.

A Pokémon's strength depends not only on its species' combat power, but also heavily on its abilities and moves.

Rumbler is a typical example of this, because of its Grassy Maker ability, which is a terrain feature, plus its decent attack power, and the ability to learn moves like Fake Out. Most importantly, it has Grassy Glide!
Generally speaking, apart from Extreme Speed ​​and Dark-type Sucker Punch which have prerequisites, priority moves are not very powerful.

The grass slide is a normal move, but it can be considered a priority move because of its additional effects.

Furthermore, on grassy terrain, the power of Grass-type moves is increased by 30%. Well, in the game, it's not a joke to say that you can take down a Feraligatr with a single shovel.

Who's Kyogre? I'll end his life—Kyogre's coolest slide tackle pose configured with one click.

It was precisely because of Rumble's strength that the Grass Slide move was reduced from 70 to 60 in Generation IX. Even so, Rumble is still powerful.

Then a second nerf was made, reducing the power from 60 to 55, before they finally stopped.

However, reality is not a game, and dealing with the grass slide is actually not that difficult.

"Fight back quickly!"

Serena immediately shouted.

Greninja crossed its arms and calmly watched the oncoming Rillaboom. Just as Rillaboom got close...

Greninja's right hand glowed white, and it struck with lightning speed, arriving first despite being behind.

Snapped!
A crisp slap rang in everyone's ears, and the Thunder King Kong was sent flying by the quick slap.

A quick counterattack from a fighting style!

This is a move specifically designed to counter preemptive strikes, and the grass slide on the grass field is also countered by the quick counter.

The gorilla that was slapped away by Kuaishou lay on the ground, covering its right cheek, staring blankly at Greninja, not yet able to come to its senses.

The burning pain on its face left the entire gorilla somewhat dazed.

In reality, the Quickhand Counterattack doesn't counter the Thunder King Kong, so the damage isn't particularly high, but after that slap...

Soon, the Thunder King Kong's face showed an expression of anger and shame, and it let out a furious growl. Its entire ape face was now red with rage.

That damn toad demon! How dare he slap me!

However, Greninja simply stood with its arms crossed, coldly watching Raptor, completely ignoring Raptor's anger.

"Calm down and smash the King Kong."

Xiaoyou comforted the Raptor while frowning slightly as she looked at Greninja.

As expected of a high-ranking cadre in the organization, he is truly capable.

Although it was just a test move, Xiaoyou was already certain that this Serena was very strong and a formidable opponent.

but……

This is more interesting!

Xiaoyou's clear eyes were full of excitement; this battle was sure to be very interesting!
As a trainer, who doesn't love to fight? Xiaoyou has many formidable rivals, such as Hop and Marie, as well as Peter, whose whereabouts are now unknown.

But none of these three options quite met Xiaoyou's expectations. This Serena, however, would definitely make her give it her all!

"Boom! Vajra Ape, get closer, Leaf Blade!"

The grassy field shimmered with green light, which entered the body of the Thunder King Kong, restoring its strength.

This is the second effect of Grassy Terrain, which restores the HP of Pokémon on the ground.

With a swing of its arm, the Thunder King Kong sent a barrage of spinning leaves hurtling towards the Greninja on the opposite side.

The battle continues!

Meanwhile, Mammon and his two companions were sitting on a picnic mat watching the game. Mammon even held a glass of juice and a baby turtle in his arms, looking very relaxed.

He was in a very good mood at the moment, after all, he had gained a lot today and even got a little girl for free, which was perfect.

Now we can watch Yuu and Serena fight again, it's awesome!

“Ge si~”

Just then, Talebagos and Dark Mewtwo seemed to sense something and turned to look behind them.

Tick-tick-tick-tick
The heavy sound of hooves grew louder as it approached. Mammon turned his head and saw a pure white horse.

Its body is very strong, its fur is snow-white without a single blemish, its head is covered with a ferocious mask made of ice, its tail is made of ice, and its four hooves are also covered with hard ice crystals.

This is the Snowstorm Horse, one of the King's Beloved Horses!

On the snowstorm horse sat a familiar Pokémon.

Both Plantina and Cattleya were somewhat surprised to see the Pokémon approaching.

"Likely a 'Crown of Lace', it's been a long time."

Mammon chuckled and waved to the White-Horse King. Indeed, the newcomer was none other than the White-Horse King.

Last time in the Carlos Desert, the Crowned King rode the black horse Spirithorse; this time, she rode the white horse Snowstorm.

It's worth mentioning that the attributes and strengths of the Calycanthus will differ depending on the horse ridden.

If you ride the Ghost Horse, the Black Horse Crown King has the attributes of Psychic + Ghost, and its strengths lie in its special attack and speed.

If you ride the Snowstorm Horse, the White Horse Crown King has the attributes of Psychic + Ice, and its strengths lie in physical attack and dual defense.

"I sensed the presence of Dark Mewtwo. It really was you, Mammon,"

A gentle telepathic connection reached their ears, and the white horse, Crowned White, slowly strode over. The Snowstorm Horse's usually fierce eyes stared at Mammon and the others with curiosity.

The Snowstorm Horse is actually very aggressive and belligerent, the complete opposite of the quiet and peaceful Spirit Horse.

Ever since the battle of Carlos, after hearing the Crowned King recount the events of that time, Snowstorm Horse truly regretted it immensely. Why did it leave the Crowned Temple to cause trouble?

Otherwise, wouldn't it be able to fight and have a good time?

"I didn't expect your sensory abilities to be so strong, Queen Lacecrown."

"Now that you've come to the Crown Snowfield, why not come and have a chat with me?"

The Crowned King slowly flew off the Snowstorm Horse and landed on the picnic mat, seemingly asking a question with dissatisfaction.

Since the fall of the kingdom, King Raicrown has been quietly sleeping in the ruined Crown Temple, living in seclusion.

It only woke up after being forcibly 'recruited' by the evil Hoopa last time. In fact, for Calyrex, who is used to loneliness, it still values ​​the people who can be taken seriously.

Moreover, it was clearly mentioned last time that if we came to the Crown Snowfield, we should have Mammon come and find it.

“I just arrived too. I was planning to go to the temple to find you tomorrow, but I didn’t expect you to come first,” Mammon replied with a smile.

“My temple is dilapidated and can no longer properly entertain you.”

The Crowned King replied helplessly that its temple had stood since ancient times, weathering countless storms, and the fact that it hadn't collapsed was already a testament to its excellent quality.

Moreover, the temple where it resides is located on a mountaintop, where the wind and snow are very strong, making it not very suitable for entertaining guests.

"It's nothing, I mainly came to find you, and now I've met you."

Mammon didn't mind at all. He took out a bottle of juice, some energy cubes, and Pokémon snacks from his backpack and handed them to Calyrex.

"Would you like to try some of these? I don't think you'll dislike them."

"I have no need to eat."

"Food is not just about satisfying physical needs, but also about fulfilling spiritual needs and satisfying the appetite."

Mammon poured another bowl of energy cubes for the Snowstorm Horse. The Snowstorm Horse sniffed it and then immediately began to chew it, seemingly quite enjoying it.

In no time, a whole bowl of energy cubes was gone.

"Look, the snowstorm horse is eating very well."

Mammon pointed to the Snowstorm Horse. No wonder the Snowstorm Horse always runs off to steal ice carrots in the game; that guy is such a glutton.

"You have a point."

Seeing this, King Lace Crown couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He reached out and picked up a dessert, took an elegant bite, savored it carefully, and then nodded.

"taste good."

"Whirl whirr~"

The snowstorm horse neighed and begged Mammon for food.

"Don't rush, don't rush. Freeze this first, and be careful to control the temperature."

Mammon handed several bottles of fruit juice and soda to Snowstorm Horse.

Snowstorm Horse tilted its head, thought for a moment, and then carefully exhaled a breath of cold air, instantly causing frost to rise on the surface of the juice bottles.

"Not bad, very promising." Mammon nodded in satisfaction and poured another bag of energy cubes into the basin in front of the Snowstorm Horse.

"I never imagined that food from outside the world had become so delicious."

Lei Guanwang took another sip of the chilled soda, enjoying the bubbly sensation on her taste buds – it was quite novel.

“After all, it has been a long time since the era of your kingdom, King Raicrown, and things have changed a great deal,” Mammon replied naturally.

"How about it? Want to come out for a walk with me? You're just bored here in the Crown Snowfield every day, either sleeping or not. What's the point?"

Mammon extended an invitation to the Brilliant King in a teasing manner.

"Shall we go out for a walk and have some sights?"

Upon hearing this, the Crowned King fell into deep thought. It had considered leaving the Crowned Snowfield, but it seemed pointless for it to venture out alone.

But it doesn't seem like it's not impossible to be with Mammon.

King Rai-Crow glanced at the little turtle in Mammon's arms, who was happily chewing its food with its eyes half-closed, and his gaze gradually turned strange.

If I remember correctly, this turtle wasn't like this during the last desert battle.
