Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

In desperation, Superbug had no choice but to lower its tentacles to shield itself, using its armor-like tentacles to forcibly defend against Milotic's attack.

"Again, Dragon Pulse!"

Xia Chen gave Devil Star no chance to retaliate or even catch its breath, continuing to let Milotic launch attacks, even though Devil Star had solid defenses in front of it.

Energy condensed, and just half a second later, another burst of Dragon Pulse erupted from Milotic's mouth.

The relentless barrage of attacks prevented Supervillain from ever opening his tentacles.

Because if it loses the protection of its tentacles, its defense and special defense are even worse than those of a normal Pokémon.

Qiu Ming frowned deeply. This was the first time he had ever felt such a suffocating sense of pressure while fighting against someone his own age.

Before he could even unleash the standard [Poison Spike] + [Deadly Poison] combo, he was already trapped in his shell by the opponent's relentless attacks.

The protection of the tentacles is not invincible after all. If this trend continues, the supervillain's defenses will be destroyed sooner or later.

Self-regeneration can stall it, but without applying a potent poison to Milotic, even if it's forcibly delayed, it will only be a slow death.

Therefore, the use of poison is necessary, and for this reason, it is acceptable to let Supervillain be attacked by Milotic even when it is protected by its tentacles.

This is a price that must be paid.

The good news is that Milotic is basically immune to Toxapex's moves; its highest damage output comes from Dragon Pulse, which Toxapex can likely withstand.

After that, I had more confidence in using self-regeneration or other techniques.

After quickly considering his current and future situation, Qiu Ming decided to take a risk.

Just as the second Dragon Pulse was about to hit Supervillain's tentacle, Qiu Ming said in a deep voice, "Supervillain, now! Poison!"

…………

Qiu Ming's timing was extremely precise. As soon as he finished speaking, the second Dragon Wave bombarded the outer shell of the Superbad Star.

Having swallowed the attack whole, Supervillain didn't hesitate to lift its two front tentacles. Energy was brewing on its small, purple body, a sign that it was about to release its deadly poison.

At that moment, Xia Chen's command suddenly startled Qiu Ming.

"Milnars, 100,000 Volts!"

One hundred thousand volts?

Milotic has this kind of trick up its sleeve?

Qiu Ming was shocked.

But soon, thinking about the other party's identity, he immediately recalled something: it seemed that Xia Chen's elves were somewhat unusual.

The Pikachu headgear was indeed a self-deception. As soon as these iconic Pokémon appeared, Qiu Ming immediately understood the other party's identity: it was none other than Xia Chen, who had recently been making waves.

Although he had never watched Xia Chen's matches, he had heard about the special features of his Pokémon.

So if someone else asked Milotic to use 100,000 volts, he might scoff, but if it were Xia Chen, it's hard to say.

Qiu Ming dared not gamble on whether the other party was bluffing him, because if it really was 100,000 volts, then the Devil Star with its tentacles outstretched would definitely not be able to withstand this double-strength 100,000 volts.

In a flash of inspiration, he subconsciously instructed Supervillain to change the move he was using.

"Quickly, the bunker!"

Bunker is Supervillain's signature move, which is not only equivalent to a Protect, but also poisons any opponent who comes into physical contact with it.

Thunderbolt is a ranged move and won't poison Milotic, but it's enough to just use Protect.

Upon hearing its trainer's command, Toxapex immediately lowered its tentacles and gathered energy to reinforce its defenses, making its impenetrable tentacles as solid as a rock.

The moment the bunker was activated, a bright yellow, menacing lightning bolt shot out from in front of Milotic, piercing through the air and striking the now-bunked Supercell.

Qiu Ming let out a soft breath, and the tension in his heart finally eased.

This guy really does know how to use 100,000 volts. I'm glad I didn't gamble.

Undoubtedly, Milotic's Dragon Pulse was a setup to lower Akira's guard, since no matter how high the damage of Dragon Pulse is, it can't compare to the double-superior Thunderbolt.

He misjudged the damage he would inflict on Milotic, and then delivered a devastating Thunderbolt attack that instantly destroyed Milotic.

Qiu Ming looked towards his opponent, Xia Chen, whose expression remained calm. He was secretly shocked. What ruthless methods!

The good news is that Supervillain blocked the terrifying 100,000 volts with his bunker and was unharmed.

The bad news is that Supervillain's venom not only failed to be released, but it will be difficult to release it for a long time.

In fact, let alone using highly toxic substances, even with the threat of 100,000 volts, Supervillain has almost no other options besides hiding inside its tentacles.

The situation has once again fallen into the same deadlock as before.

"Continue using 100,000 volts."

Over there, Xia Chen, who had revealed that Milotic knew 100,000 volts, stopped pretending and directly commanded Milotic to begin a strong attack on the bunker.

Whether you hatch or not, I'll still unleash my 100,000 volts.

Even if a Supervillain hiding inside its shell has high durability, it's just a difference between one 100,000-volt attack and three or four.

Under such intense bombardment, even self-regeneration cannot withstand the electrotherapy from Milas.

Knowing this well, Qiuming had no choice but to take out a Poké Ball and recall the Toxapex, which could only passively take hits.

Milotic's relentless bombardment proves one thing: shield-wielding elves are not immune to strong attacks. If they are not, it's because their attack power is insufficient.

…………

Since launching a counterattack was ineffective, Qiu Ming tried a different approach: a direct offensive.

After the red light that the spirit had withdrawn dissipated, white light flickered.

Replacing Toxapex with his ace Pokémon, Proomum, is the one that Akira has high hopes for.

Proom is a steel Pokémon that resembles an engine. It can generate energy or unleash moves by detonating gases containing toxins and rocks in the eight cylinders inside its body.

This Pokémon has a unique type combination of Poison and Steel, which is unique in the entire Pokédex.

As a noble Steel-type Pokémon, Proomom boasts nine resistances, while having only two weaknesses: Ground and Fire.

Although both of these attributes are very popular offensive types, unfortunately, Milotic is not proficient in these types of moves.

Mud Shot is one of the few moves that counters Mud Shot in the move pool, but its base power is too low, and it's not as effective as a Water Cannon.

So as soon as Promum, who was at full strength, appeared, Qiuming immediately commanded, "Promum, shift gears!"

Like Milotic's Quiver Dance, Gear Shift is a power-up move that very few Pokémon can master, and Proom is one of them.

Its effect is quite powerful, not only slightly increasing the Pokémon's attack, but also greatly enhancing its speed, making it a strengthened version of Dragon Dance.

"Milotic, spray water!"

Xia Chen wouldn't tolerate it; would it dare to strengthen it?

Then take this water spray!

The air was brimming with moisture after the rain, and the water vapor condensed and instantly formed a massive amount of rainwater under Milotic's control, flowing towards Promlum like a well-trained army.

Faced with the relentless and powerful torrent of water, Promlum remained unfazed, igniting the engine by burning the gas in its cylinders.

Shifting gears is the key to Proomron's ability to go toe-to-toe with Milotic; even if it takes a direct hit from an Earthquake that is four times weaker, it will not falter in the slightest.

The roar of the waves and the rumble of engines echoed across the makeshift battlefield. Neither trainer had the foolish idea of ​​waiting for the tide to recede before giving orders; both issued commands simultaneously.

Milotic, Muddy Current!

"Proomom, charge in and use Garbage Shot!"

Amid the still-receding tide, the roar of engines intensified, and the silver-purple Promlum broke through the water's surface, hurtling towards them.

The upgraded Proomb was incredibly fast, as if it had been switched from a two-cylinder engine to a four-cylinder engine, accelerating and charging forward recklessly.

Facing the turbid current, Prompom's cylindrical mouth condensed poisonous gas. After a slight build-up, a string of deep purple, foul-smelling poison-type energy blasts shot out from it, sweeping towards Milotic's body.

Milotic had no way to dodge, nor did it even have the intention to dodge, and it took the hit head-on, enduring the opponent's enhanced attack.

The trash bombs struck his jade-like, beautiful scales one after another, and the deep purple poison gas rose from Milotic's body, but failed to leave a single mark on them.

This means that the highly corrosive energy failed to break through Milotic's surface defenses!

…………

"Fuwoo!"

The cry was not made out of pain, but out of anger.

God knows how dirty and smelly this garbage shooting is.

The trash shot didn't cause much physical damage, but it broke Milotic's mental defenses, which were prone to germaphobia.

The water, brimming with anger, gushed forth—this time, it was Milotic's most familiar water cannon.

Qiu Ming was startled and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Although Proom is his ace Pokémon, it is not invincible. After being hit by Milotic's Water Spray and Turbidity, most of its life force and stamina have been washed away by the fierce water flow.

If we take that water cannon, there will be no room for error.

Fortunately, after shifting gears, Promlum was extremely fast, its engine roaring as it accelerated again, narrowly avoiding the water cannon.

"Don't stop, keep shooting garbage!"

Qiu Ming firmly grasped the advantages of Prunum's faster speed and greater flexibility, and implemented guerrilla warfare tactics—fighting while on the move.

Although the previous trash shot didn't seem to have been very effective, it was still the highest damage Proom could deal.

Even water dripping on stone can wear it down, let alone the fact that the power of a trash shot is far greater than that of a water droplet, and Milotic is not as hard as a stone.

Faced with Qiu Ming's guerrilla tactics, Xia Chen's choice was...

"Don't worry about it, just let the muddy water flow."

No matter how fast you are, as long as you want to continue attacking Milotic, you will inevitably fall within the extremely wide range of the Muddy Current's attack range.

A direct confrontation? My Milotic, with its superior durability and stamina, couldn't be happier!

Moreover, as long as the additional effect of the Turbidity reducing the hit rate takes effect, it will be even more difficult for Proomom's Garbage Shot to hit.

The two trainers each had their own agendas, and the two Pokémon faithfully carried out their trainers' ideas, engaging in a fierce battle.

Garbage and filth blended together, and toxic fumes flew alongside the flowing water.

The trash shots and turbid currents undoubtedly hit the opponent who was basically undefended, and an unexpected change occurred as a result.
