Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 367 Articuno makes its debut, presenting an overwhelming battle situation?

Li Xuan could only mutter complaints about A-Ju's tactics of using the same fate and the Big Bang.

It was just a matter of exploiting an information gap; fortunately, Gallade used Teleport in time to successfully dodge.

Otherwise, this wave of attacks would really result in mutual destruction with the double-explosive gas.

To be fair, A-Ju's strength is still solid.

Lucario and Gallade, who nearly lost their Pokémon in the process, were both in a state of near collapse, though neither of them lost their ability to battle.

Looking at the three remaining on Li Xuan's side, only the last one truly had the power to fight A-Ju.

"Sigh, who should I use..."

Li Xuan was pondering which one to use.

Zapdos is level 63, and Articuno is level 66.

Abandoned Monkey is level 68, which is one level higher than most of the Elite Four's ace Pokémon.

As for Blaziken and Breloom, these two are slightly inferior, and their methods for dealing with Poison-type Pokémon are... not many.

After much deliberation, Li Xuan ruled out Zapdos once again.

Currently, the only Pokémon that can truly challenge Kikyo are Forsaken and Articuno.

Ok……

It’s better to be more stable.

Li Xuan thought for a moment and then touched the super ball at his waist.

This contains Articulated Bird.

At least legendary Pokémon have much more stamina.

Even if they get hit, they can take a few more hits.

Furthermore, Li Xuan had already roughly guessed which Pokémon A-Ju would use.

In terms of attributes, I will definitely have the upper hand in this final match.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan raised his head and looked at A-Ju.

Both reached for their waists at the same time, and with a "click," both Poké Balls burst open in mid-air.

"Articuno, the final battle is up to you!"

"Crossbat, use your deadly venom to corrode your opponent!"

Both of them used Pokémon that could fly.

When Aju raised her eyebrows upon seeing Li Xuan send out Articuno, she clearly hadn't expected to encounter Articuno.

I thought it was a Zapdos.

After all, Flying-type moves are not very effective against Electric-type Pokémon.

Compared to Articuno, Zapdos should have a greater advantage in terms of attributes.

but.

One of the main reasons Li Xuan didn't send out Zapdos was that Zapdos's level was too low.

Even with a level advantage, Zapdos might not win against Ajuga's Crobat.

After all, while Zapdos is a legend, such an ordinary legend is easily defeated by ordinary Pokémon.

Pokémon: Crobat

[Attributes: poison, flying]

【Level: 67】

[Feature: Penetration]

[Moves: Omitted]

The Crossbat with penetrating properties.

Clearly, A-Ju had considered all possible scenarios.

Even the aurora curtain and the mysterious guardian are protected by this feature.

Furthermore, A-Ju's Crobat strength has reached level 67, making it the strongest Crobat I have ever seen.

Moreover, they are battle-hardened veterans, making them far more formidable than the Rockets' four generals.

"Articuno, watch out for Crobat, it'll be stronger than any Crobat we've encountered before."

Li Xuan spoke up to remind him. "Ling!" (Let me see if this Crobat can make Grandpa Articuno go all out!)
Articuno made a foul remark.

He frowned as he listened.

Your Articuno is really good at fighting, right?

Don't cry when you get poisoned later!

Having devised a strategy, we're now just waiting for the battle to truly begin.

"Articuno, Freeze Beam!"

Li Xuan still preferred to start with the Freeze Beam.

A cold light burst forth from the Articuno's sharp beak, and a cold energy serpent roared out, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet as it snaked its way forward!

The cross-bats flapped their wings much more slowly, clearly affected by the freezing beam.

"Use a tailwind move to dodge."

"XX!"

The cross-bat flapped its wings suddenly, and a gust of wind howled from behind, greatly increasing its agility and allowing it to dodge the incoming freezing beam!

Tailwind is an excellent move that creates a powerful whirlwind and increases one's speed.

With the help of the tailwind, the Crobat's already swift movements became even more agile.

"Ling." (A mere trifle, like a cricket's plaything.)
Articuno laughed dismissively.

Using Tailwind to briefly surpass its own power is useless for Articuno.

Because what it's going to use next is a wide-range attack!
"snowstorm!"

Li Xuan and Articuno are of one mind; they both know what the other is thinking.

"Ling!"

The arthropod stretches its neck and cries out, its wings fully outstretched, as the temperature plummets!
The moment it flapped its wings, a blizzard surged forth.

Each snowflake was as sharp as a knife, drawing countless icy blue arcs in the air.

The crossbat's rapidly dodging figure gradually formed frosty white speed bumps in the cold air...

"As expected of the legendary bird Pokémon, it can create blizzards of this power with ease."

Ah-Ju was amazed, showing no sign of panic at being hit by the cross-bat.

It was only hit by one attack; given Crobat's stamina, it could easily withstand that attack.

"Toxic!"

Ah Ju made another hand seal, the sound of which was particularly loud in the blizzard.

Amidst the white snowstorm, the deep purple silhouette of the cross-bat stands out strikingly.

A huge, highly poisonous sphere contaminated the snowflakes, and more and more snow was turned into poisonous snow.

"Articuno, don't let it succeed! Increase the intensity of the blizzard!"

Li Xuan knew that Poison-type Pokémon could always hit with Toxic, but in real battles, nothing is truly guaranteed to hit.

As long as you can fight back with your moves, poison and such don't matter.

"Ling!"

The poisonous snow was instantly covered by the blizzard, and even the crossbats were blown about by the blizzard.

Articuno has a natural advantage in aerial battles.

Furthermore, the Ice type is super effective against Crobat's Flying type, causing the opponent to gradually fall into a disadvantageous position during the exchange of moves.

If Crobat doesn't find an opportunity soon, it will truly be at Articuno's mercy.

"Use the heat!"

Ah Ju promptly issued the counterattack order.

The Crobat suddenly flapped its wings, releasing a surge of intense fire energy that clashed with the blizzard released by Articuno, triggering a violent elemental reaction.

"Featured." (Not bad, but it's still a bit short of what's needed to defeat me, Grandpa Articuno.)
Articuno was unsurprising.

The heat blast generated by Crobat is at most the same power as Blaziken's Fire Punch.

For Articuno, a Pokémon that has been training with Blaziken for a long time, this will at most help it loosen up its muscles and bones.

It's still a long way off before we can defeat it!
