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

Chapter 310 Giving these Meteor Citizens a Little System Shock

Wow! (8k)

Two people, two elves, a tense standoff, the air thick with the smoke of an energy explosion.

The scene before them was quite obvious; if it wasn't a battle between elves, what else could it be but a game of mahjong?

The girl immediately came to this conclusion.

Therefore, the battle between the older sister and the Pokémon appeared to be a close contest.

But who is her opponent, that handsome older brother she's never seen before?

The girl tugged at the sleeve of a bearded man next to her, who reluctantly turned his gaze from the field back to the girl, then smiled and patted her head.

"Hey, Higana, Piwan's finally back? You missed half of the exciting match."

The village is small, so it's unlikely that you'd see someone who looks familiar but can't remember their name, especially since the girl is the "little princess" of the Meteor People.

Xijia, whose name sounds the same as her sister's, asked curiously, "Uncle Jinya, who is my sister fighting against?"

"Him? He's a self-proclaimed Dragon Tamer from Dragon Island, named Xia Chen."

Jinya shared information that he himself knew very little about.

"Dragon Island again?"

Having touched on the key words, Higana stood there angrily with her hands on her hips. She was old enough to remember the last time the Dragon Crossing came to "bloodbath" Meteor Village, so she naturally had a deep impression of this place.

But back then, she was just a little kid who only knew how to wrestle with her baby dragon and couldn't protect the dignity of the Meteor Clan.

Another person from Dragon Island has come, feeling obligated to restore the glory of the Meteor People.

However, since her older sister had made the first move, there was no need for her to do so for the time being. Thinking this, Higana said, "Uncle Jinya, my sister can win, right?"

In her mind, her older sister was invincible, an object of her admiration, and the goal she pursued.

It's just a Milotic; it's no match for Lusa.

However, Jinya stroked his thick beard and said vaguely, "It's hard to say. That kid's Milotic is really strange, but the difference in strength is still quite large. It should be fine, right?"

Higana looked on in astonishment, her small mouth slightly agape.

Uncle Jinya is one of the backbone of Meteor Village, and his judgment is always sharp.

Does he really think his sister might not win?

Higana looked at the battlefield with some dissatisfaction. She wanted to see if this Dragon Island man and his Milotic could live up to Uncle Zhenya's praise.

…………

Rayquaza, baring its fangs and claws, still gazes at the sky with an indomitable will to fight. Below, this rare and intense Pokémon battle has reached its climax.

Garchomp, having reached Milotic through the Dragon's Roar attack, paused slightly, catching its breath for a moment before unsurprisingly unleashing a barrage of attacks with its claws.

Dark green dragon-type energy surged and instantly enveloped Garchomp's deep blue fins, as blue as the ocean.

The dragon fins transformed into sharp blades and slashed forward, producing a piercing wind-blown sound as if cutting through the air. The destination after piercing through layers of air was Milotic, who had not yet recovered from the [Protect] state!

Meteor Shower forces Garchomp to reposition, Dragon's Descent charges in and unleashes [Protect], the first two hits of its three-hit combo are over, and at this moment, Garchomp finally reveals its ferocious fangs.

The fluid and fast-paced attacks left Milotic breathless, but this only fueled his competitive spirit.

The terrifying aura caused Milotic's adrenaline to surge, but this did not make him lose his temper. On the contrary, Milotic remained unusually calm.

Ground-to-air, and with a speed disadvantage, this dragon claw attack was almost impossible to avoid.

Since there's no way to escape, then let's fight it out!

With their minds in sync, Milotic heard the same command from Xia Chen behind him, echoing his own decision.

With a sharp look in his eyes, Milotic retreated to buy time while simultaneously gathering ice-type energy within his body.

The exceptional energy flow speed makes this move extremely fast to unleash.

Just as the dark green scythe was about to slash at Milotic, the briefly charged Ice Beam simultaneously erupted!

swoosh-

The sharp sound, like a machine cutting steel, made the onlookers' teeth ache, and at the same time, they were a little strange, because it was not something that these two moves could produce.

They stared intently, only to see that the icy blue energy beam, imbued with extreme cold, was blocked by a fin shield that shone with a soft glow. The teeth-grinding sound came from the collision and friction between the frozen beam and the fin shield!

While Garchomp was launching a fierce attack, it suddenly became distracted and used its other claw as a shield to block Milotic's Ice Beam!

Saying it was blocked isn't entirely accurate, since the extreme cold energy still struck Garchomp's skin and seeped into its body.

However, compared to being directly hit in vital areas such as the chest, abdomen, or even the head by this move that is four times weaker, blocking it with an arm is undoubtedly a more acceptable outcome for Garchomp.

In this battle, Garchomp finally managed to regain its footing through a successful offense and defense.

Just as the Meteor Dwellers were rejoicing over Garchomp's offensive, they saw Milotic's icy breath gradually disappear, replaced by a clearly familiar orange-red orb of light.

That's a meteor shower?!

…………

Meteor Dwellers, Meteor Dwellers

Their names all contain the character for "meteor," so their familiarity with the Meteor Shower technique is naturally extremely profound. It's no exaggeration to say that "no one understands Meteor Shower better than them."

So when the iconic orange-red orb of light shone from Milotic's wide-open mouth, all the Meteor Citizens were astonished.

That's the precursor light source of the meteor shower, no problem. The problem is, is the user of this meteor shower Milotic?

The Meteor Clan, whose members are all dragon tamers, began to question the meaning of life.

Are there any non-Dragon-type Pokémon in this world that can generate meteor showers?

Yes, there are more than one, but who are they?

Mew, Arceus, Silvally

It's either the ancestor of all spirits, the creator god, or a pirated version of the creator god's youthful castration.

In short, those were not dragons, but were even more like dragons.

But what level of player is Milotic? How can he be ranked alongside these big shots?

Milotic once again gave these isolated Meteor Clan a small system shock.

Even Alicia, an elder of the tribe, was stunned by this scene, let alone the ordinary Meteor Clan who were far younger and less experienced than her.

Higana's mouth opened wider and wider. She finally understood why Uncle Jinya had said Milotic was "weird".

Milotic, who can use the signature move Meteor Shower, is arguably the only Elder Dragon to have ever used it before, if not the only one to have done so in the future.

She glanced absently at the calm-faced young man on the field, Xia Chen from Longdao.

……

Even the Dragon Clan's ultimate technique, Meteor Shower, was still as fast as ever when released from Milotic's mouth.

The Garchomp, which was so close, had no way to use Protect to defend against the barrage of meteors.

It's not that my brain can't process it, it's that my body won't allow it.

The act of simultaneously releasing the dragon's claws, one on the left and one on the right, is an extremely energy-consuming activity.

But the body has its limits, and under these circumstances, there's simply no room for releasing energy for protection!

The brilliant "double attack and defense" that just happened has now become a knife stabbing Garchomp itself.

At this moment, it could only console itself with the thought that "what damage could a meteor shower created by a water-type Pokémon do?"

However, the dangerous aura emanating from the increasingly expanding orange-red orb made it vaguely aware that something was amiss.

As the dazzling fireworks exploded on its face, Garchomp, whose face was almost deformed by the explosive energy, finally accepted reality.

That meteor shower is really weird!

Visible shockwaves, accompanied by dragon flames spreading from the energy explosion, created waves of air on the battlefield. The barrier erected by the flying dragon Annie once again came into play, blocking the astonished Meteor Clan.

This Milotic not only used Meteor Shower, but also created a force close to that of Garchomp's Dragon Dive. Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

That Dragon Dive was a STAB move used by Garchomp, which was close to the Champion level!

Even if this Milotic is a genuine Dragon-type Pokémon, it wouldn't be able to unleash a meteor shower like that, would it?

The phenomenon that defied common sense about Dragon-type Pokémon shocked the limited imagination of the Meteor Clan. How could they have imagined that Milotic's type had not only changed to Water-Dragon after its last growth breakthrough, but it was also covered with buffs of all sizes.

Originating from the Hidden Dragon Gym, the Dragon-type Pokémon techniques include a series of achievement buffs such as [Hidden Dragon in the Abyss], [Leaping Dragon in the Abyss], and [Yinglong Bloodline].

If real-world game data were digitized, Milotic's buffs would probably be similar to those of characters in DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online).

With all these abilities combined, it's quite reasonable that they could unleash such a meteor shower.

But the Meteor Clan had no idea about all this information, so when they looked at Xia Chen, the trainer who had raised the Milotic to such an astonishing degree, their eyes were filled with even greater respect.

If Lance had only physically impressed them back then, Xia Chen, with Milotic, which was even more powerful than Salamence, Garchomp, and other pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon, delivered a devastating blow to them on a psychological level.

You are the true master of dragon taming!

…………

The damage from Meteor Shower far exceeded the expectations of Shiokana and Garchomp. The high power of the move itself was one thing, but the way the move was released was another reason.

Most meteor showers involve an energy cluster exploding in the air, turning into individual meteors that fall to the ground before they can harm the spirits.

This type of attack is like a mortar; it is indeed very powerful, but it is also easy to dodge.

Milotic's sudden meteor shower was like a shotgun blast to the face.

No, to be precise, it should be shotguns with the power of mortars hitting people in the face.

Direct, precise, and violent—these keywords combined create an extremely explosive power.

Even a Garchomp close to the Champion level couldn't withstand this. Dragon-types are inherently mutually restraining, so the damage from this close-range meteor shower far exceeded that of the previous two Ice Beams. The overwhelming impact sent Garchomp flying dozens of meters away before it finally stopped with the help of a Flygon.

There's no way to help; there's a huge crowd behind us. Annie's energy barrier can only dissolve the aftershocks of energy; it can't stop the impact of the flesh bomb.

If a Garchomp weighing nearly 300 pounds were to charge through a crowd, Meteor Village's impoverished medical system would definitely be overwhelmed today.

As the dust settled and the scene reappeared, the Meteor Clan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Garchomp, which had been lying on the ground, used its trembling arms to support itself and stood up again.
