Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 415 Riolu vs. Flygon
The tall and slender Shaka arrived in a hurry.

At this time, Shaka was about forty years old and had not yet entered old age; he stood there with great presence.

He belongs to the type of person who is terrifyingly strong just by looking at his posture.

However, what surprised Wu Ge was Xia Ka's hair.

It turns out that Shaka's white hair in the anime wasn't due to aging, but rather because it was his natural hair color.

"So you're Cynthia, the young trainer who carries a Riolu with you?"

Shaka seems to have heard of Cynthia.

“Yes! I am Cynthia from Sinnoh Town in the Sinnoh region, and this is my partner, Riolu.”

Cynthia introduced herself in a humble yet confident manner.

At least I've participated in one league tournament.

He's no longer a rookie trainer who gets excited for half a day just to challenge a gym.

"Well, very energetic!"

Shaka nodded approvingly, while subtly glancing at Keldeo standing in the audience.

Keldeo is different from the Three Holy Swords.

He has not yet become the 'Fourth Holy Sword', and in recent years few major events have occurred. The three Holy Swords have hardly appeared in public, let alone this little colt.

Therefore, Keldeo is not very famous, and most people do not recognize him after he is separated from the Three Holy Swords.

But Shaka definitely knows him.

As a senior member of the United Alliance, one should naturally know more.

According to Shaka.

Cynthia captured Keldeo during the fire that Hatchku mentioned earlier.

"The future life is terrible."

Shaka muttered something.

Legendary Pokémon, plus Riolu who wields the power of Aura.
He estimated that it wouldn't be long before he saw Cynthia's name among the high-ranking members of the Sinnoh League.

Xia Ka is quite busy with work.

I don't have much time to chat with Cynthia.

So the battle began very quickly.

3v3.

"This is my first Pokémon, let's get past him first."

Shaka smiled and tossed a Poké Ball.

This dojo owner.

It seems that once a person enters a battle state, their entire demeanor undergoes a tremendous change.

The simplicity from before had vanished, replaced by a composed confidence in Xia Ka.

Wu Ge was originally scheduled to appear later.

When they saw the first Pokémon that Shaka sent out, their eyes lit up.

"Cynthia, I'll play the first match."

"Okay! Then I choose you, Riolu!"

Cynthia pointed.

"."

A bead of cold sweat seemed to trickle down Wu Ge's forehead.

However, he didn't pay attention to that.

They looked across at the other side with great interest.

There was a green figure flying in the sky, which looked just like a large dragonfly.

but.

This Pokémon is indeed a Dragon-type Pokémon, Flygon, also known as the 'Desert Elf'.

Ground and Dragon type Pokémon.

However, because of its 'levitation' property, it is immune to Ground-type moves.

Similarly, they are not afraid of thunder in the sky or earthquakes on the ground.

Moreover, it is four times weaker than ice.

It wouldn't be a problem to say that the desert dragonfly is another kind of 'King Scorpion'.

Both its move pool and base stats are quite excellent, and it often appears as an important supporting Pokémon in the anime.

To name a few drawbacks of the desert dragonfly.

That might be because his appearance isn't imposing enough.

"Perfect, let me try out the effect of the earth stone slabs."

Wu Ge pursed his lips.

Having obtained the Earth Stone Slab, he hadn't yet tested its specific effects.

I originally planned to try scratching Garchomp.

However, a better opportunity has now arisen.

This desert dragonfly actually saved the Garchomp from disaster.

"As the host, let the challenger make the first move."

Shaka crossed his arms and calmly said something.

At the speed of a desert dragonfly.

Taking the initiative is still quite important.

Giving away the opportunity directly is indeed a way of letting others off the hook.

But this is not the case for Wu Ge and Cynthia.

After all, Wu Ge possesses incredible speed, a speed that no ordinary desert dragonfly can match.

When the level difference is not significant.

Even with its high-speed movement, the desert dragonfly couldn't catch up with Wu Ge.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony, Riolu, Rock Lock!"

Cynthia raised her hand and called out the name of a move.

Without saying a word, Wu Ge tapped his heel.

Bang bang bang!
On the battlefield, huge stone spikes rose from the ground, one of which suddenly pierced the ground beneath the desert dragonfly.

"Get away!"

Shaka waved his hand, becoming slightly more wary.

He did not let his guard down just because the desert dragonfly easily dodged the stone spike attack.

Rock-based attacks cannot cause significant damage to Desert Dragonflies.

He believed Cynthia understood this.

Moreover, the attack pattern of this Rock Totem is clearly different from that of ordinary Pokémon.

Cynthia must have some other purpose in doing this.

Shaka needs to remain vigilant.

"Follow Swiftness with Freezing Fist!"

Cynthia excitedly clenched her fist.

This is the first time I've fought alongside Wu Ge.

This made her feel incredibly excited.

"."

Wu Ge smiled and started moving.

Overall, while Cynthia's reaction speed isn't as fast as he used to be, her command abilities are generally good, and she has clearly grasped his preferred fighting style.

At least in terms of the choice of tactics, it was not much different from what Wu Ge had expected.

The dark blue figure darted swiftly between the giant rocks.

The speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

Wow! x2
"Tinetine!"

"Da me!"

Seeing this, N and the Pokémon standing in the audience couldn't help but show excited expressions.

"So that's it, the chirping of insects!"

Shaka looked enlightened.

hum! !

The desert dragonflies in the air emitted bursts of shrill sound waves.

"Waveguide barrier!"

Cynthia's voice followed immediately.

If it were a regular Pokémon, it might not be able to hear this command in this environment.

But Wu Ge is not your average Pokémon.

A pale blue barrier appeared around him, neutralizing the waves of sound.

In the blink of an eye.

Wu Ge had already leaped in front of the desert dragonfly, and with a punch radiating an icy blue light, he slammed it hard into the base of the desert dragonfly's wing.

Trainers rarely tell Pokémon where to attack when giving commands.

Because that would waste a lot of time and could even mean missing out on a great attack opportunity.

This is when a Pokémon's battle instincts, experience, and synergy with its trainer will be tested.

There was no fighting synergy between Wu Ge and Cynthia.

He didn't know where Cynthia wanted him to hit.

In any case, when facing these winged Pokémon, his first move would definitely be to strike their wings to restrict their ability to fly.

Just like this moment.

The desert dragonfly was severely injured and tried to take off, but found that a thin layer of ice had formed at the base of its wings, causing it to fall involuntarily.

Even a few vibrations could break the ice.

However, his frostbite condition will not disappear.

The desert dragonfly's ability to fly has been affected!

"Great opportunity! Press the attack, water cannons!"

Cynthia seized the opportunity created by Wu Ge and immediately took command.

At this moment, Wu Ge is still falling towards the ground.

Another Freeze Punch would definitely miss.

Only ranged attack moves can be used.

Cynthia seized the opportunity in an instant and took this into account.

This reaction truly impressed even Wu Ge.

"Sonic blast!"

boom! !

A sound wave, completely different from before, exploded out instantly.

The huge wave of water that Wu Ge spewed out was instantly shattered, falling to the ground and forming small puddles.

"sandstorm."

Shaka's voice continued.

The desert dragonfly flapped its wings forcefully, breaking the ice at the base of its wings, and then ripples of sandstorm swept across the battlefield like giant waves.

The battlefield was shrouded in sand and dust.

Not to mention N and the others in the audience, even Shaka and Cynthia couldn't see what was happening on the battlefield at this moment.

In this situation.

Pokémon are often confused on the battlefield, especially those Pokémon that are not Rock, Ground, or Steel types.

In the sandstorm.

Their vision and mobility will be greatly affected, and they will have to endure the constant ravages of the sandstorms.

This situation demands a high level of skill from the trainer.

Shaka should be very good at this style of play.

But he couldn't have imagined it.

Cynthia is equally skilled at this!
After all, her other ace is also a Ground/Dragon type Garchomp!
Moreover.

Her Riolu is no ordinary Riolu.

I dare not say anything else.

At least this sandstorm definitely won't block Riolu's 'vision'!
"Desert dragonfly, dragon swoop!"

Shaka raised his hand and made a grasping motion towards the sandstorm.

Dragon Dive has a low hit rate; any Pokémon with a slightly faster speed can dodge it.

but.

Sandstorms can severely affect all of a Pokémon's stats, especially its mobility.

The impact is particularly severe on Pokémon that are very light in weight.

Therefore, sandstorms can greatly increase the hit rate of Dragon's Dive.

This combination of moves has proven effective for Shaka time and time again.

He knew that Riolu's vision would not be affected.

However, mobility and speed will definitely be affected!

"Riolus, get out of the way!"

Cynthia didn't say much.

She can't see anything right now and can't judge what the best way to hide is.

That being the case.

Then let Pokémon decide for themselves.

Cynthia believed Riolu would definitely be able to dodge it.

boom! !

A huge impact rang out, and the entire dojo seemed to shake a few times.

The sandstorm on the field dissipated for a moment due to the strong impact and the resulting waves.

Everyone was watching the field intently.

The desert dragonfly looked around in confusion on the ground, while Shaka and Cynthia simultaneously noticed a hole in the ground.

Wu Ge used a digging technique to dodge this attack.

"earthquake!"

Shaka looked suspicious, but he didn't hesitate at all when giving the order.

Using Dig against a Ground-type Pokémon is practically suicide.
"Riolu?!"

Cynthia was also dumbfounded.

She hadn't expected Riolu to choose to burrow underground.

If she were to use Garchomp against Riolu right now, she would definitely use Earthquake immediately to severely damage Riolu underground.
