Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 103 My Dragon, Defeated Just Like That?

"Higana is completely under his control."

Old Deng stroked the stubble on his chin, knowing all too well how universally hated the Poison Spikes are now.

"This child is very talented, but she doesn't have much experience battling outsiders." The old woman sighed. Shigana's talent as a trainer is in no way inferior to Shigana's.

However, because she focused solely on training and nurturing, Higana lacked combat experience. Her previous promise to Ito that she wanted Higana to fight Gushin was actually based on that idea.

And at this moment on the field.

Higanbana considered how to attack. Drapion was only weak to Ground type, and Goodra's physical attacks were actually quite good.

However, after being nerfed twice by Incineroar's intimidation and threats, Goodra's physical damage is now probably underwhelming.

"Sticky Dragon, earthquake!" Higana shouted decisively, waving her hand.

Even if it's not perfect, an earthquake that deals twice the damage is still more powerful than a normal special attack.

Nian Meilong lifted one foot and stomped it down heavily, but as soon as her foot touched the ground, she stopped abruptly, a look of pain on her face.

A strange, deep purple poisonous light flowed across the entire body of the Sticky Dragon, the poisonous talismans corroding it!

"This is?"

Higana was taken aback, and her brows immediately furrowed.

"Pin Missile!"

A dense barrage of white missile needle beams swept in, relentlessly bombarding the Goodra's body, which had just finished being eroded by the poison shards.

Rumble!

The deafening explosions continued unabated, interspersed with the painful groans of the Nume Dragon.

While the Bug-type Pin Missile isn't super effective against Goodra, the damage it inflicts is real, and it really hurts!

After the missile bombardment ended and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the Good Dragon, now bearing many more wounds, reappeared.

"It feels like Brother Guxin has the upper hand completely," Lillie said, blinking her big eyes.

So far in the battle, Goodra has hardly encountered any of Guxin's Pokémon, but Goodra has already been attacked several times.

"After all, it's Guxin." Eileen smiled brightly.

Higana didn't know what the spectators were thinking, but she was under a lot of pressure and was unwilling to give up.

Her sticky dragon is clearly very strong!

"Sticky Dragon, earthquake!"

Xijiana shouted at Nianmeilong, "No matter what, you have to hit me at least once, right?"

Sticky Dragon raised its foot and stomped down heavily, causing the ground to tremble violently. The tangible earthquake shockwaves reverberated towards Dragon King Scorpion.

"Earthquake," Guxin chuckled softly.

The Dragon King Scorpion raised its pincers and slammed them hard into the ground, sending shockwaves forward.

The two earthquakes clashed violently and shook continuously before finally subsiding.

"Dragon Pulse!" Using Earthquake directly was indeed ineffective, so Higana decided to try a ranged attack first to find an opportunity.

"Dragon King Scorpion, charge!" Gu Xin ordered after a moment's thought.

The dragon gathered pure dragon light in its mouth, and a swift dragon wave burst forth.

But the Dragon Scorpion took a step and dodged the dragon-striking wave with a speed that belied its enormous size, quickly rushing towards the Goodra.

The Dragon King Scorpion is actually quite fast!

"Sticky Dragon, step back and use Turbid Flow!" Higana said calmly.

Nian Meilong immediately retreated, but stopped after taking only two steps. A deep purple poisonous light shone on his body, and Nian Meilong gritted his teeth and endured the pain of the poison corroding him.

Poison shards again!

Higana's pupils contracted slightly. How could this be? Could this poison dart trigger multiple times?

In that short time, the Dragon Scorpion had already arrived in front of Goodra, and a lightning-fast pincer tail shot through the air towards Goodra, locking its throat and shoving it heavily to the ground.

"Sticky Dragon!"

Higana stared in shock at the Dragon King Scorpion's extended pincers.

The gluttonous dragon struggled to break free from the Dragon King Scorpion's pincer tail, but the pincer tail was firmly locked around its throat, causing it discomfort and pain.

"Sticky Dragon! Use Thunder!"

"Interrupt it with the Cross-shaped Poison Blade!"

Golden lightning crackled around Goodra, but Dragonscorpion was faster, clamping its pincers around Goodra's throat and lifting it up.

The two scorpion pincers glowed with purple light and swung back and forth, unleashing a cross-shaped energy blade.

boom!

The cross-shaped poison blade struck the sticky dragon heavily and exploded on its body. The sticky dragon groaned in pain, and the lightning on its body dimmed.

"Sticky Dragon!"

Higanbana was about to retrieve the Pokémon and recall Goodra, but this wasn't right.

"Dragon King Scorpion!"

"long~!"

With a ferocious growl, the Dragon Scorpion gripped the Goodra's neck with its pincers and lifted it high again before slamming it down.

boom!

Nian Meilong was slammed heavily to the ground, the violent impact causing the ground to tremble. Nian Meilong closed her eyes and endured the pain.

But the next moment.

"Nian!"

A terrifying, deep purple light flashed on the Goody Dragon for the third time. The Goody Dragon screamed in pain and struggled violently once again to get rid of the Dragon King Scorpion's pincers.

However, the pincers of the Dragon King Scorpion were like an unshakeable iron band, pressing Goodra firmly to the ground, unable to get up.

"hiss……"

Lillie covered her mouth in horror as she stared at the horribly wrecked Nume, feeling goosebumps rise all over her body.

Poor Nyanko-sensei!

"earthquake!"

Dragon Scorpion raised both feet and slammed them down heavily, causing an earthquake in the ground!

Rumble!

The tangible earthquake shockwaves surged wildly, directly shaking through Nume-ryu's body. Pressed to the ground, Nume-ryu endured the ravages of the earthquake until her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes spinning.

Seeing this, Hilaria, who had already taken out her Poké Ball, frowned.

"Snorunt is unable to fight, and Dragonscorpion wins," Old Deng announced the battle results.

"It felt like the whole time Sticky Dragon was just getting beaten up..." Lillie pursed her lips and whispered as she looked at Higana, who had retracted Sticky Dragon.

But this is clearly a mature Pokémon that has reached its full potential late in life; it should be very powerful.

"No need to feel it, it's just like that." Hydrangea shook her head.

"Higana's Goomy Dragon is very strong, but it didn't have a chance to show its strength at all. It was completely targeted and killed by Xin'er."

"One reason for this is that Higana doesn't understand Xin'er's fighting style."

A pseudo-legendary Pokémon, it was completely useless and was given away for nothing...

Old Ito clicked his tongue twice, thinking, "As expected of my son! Even the champion-level main force was completely outmatched."

On the field.

Staring at the Goodra's Poké Ball in my hand for a long time, I thought, "My dragon, was it defeated just like that?"

Higana looked up at the Dragon King Scorpion and Guxin opposite her, and after a while, a smile appeared on her pretty face again.

"Guxin, you're really strong~" Xijiana exclaimed, but the burning passion in her eyes grew stronger.

"The battle has only just begun, hasn't it, Higana?"

Gu Xin chuckled. In fact, in terms of level, his Dragon King Scorpion was definitely inferior to that sticky dragon.

However, Goodra's physical defense was weak, and its power was weakened by Incineroar. In addition, Poison Spikes took effect, which led to the spectacular battle that Dracovish just now.

Hmm, they took down a Dragon-type pseudo-legendary almost without taking any damage!

"That's right! The battle has only just begun!"

Higanbana took out the second Poké Ball and threw it high into the air.

"This is my second dragon! The Tanabata!"

With a melodious cry, an extremely beautiful bluebird floated in front of Higana.

With its sky-blue body, fluffy wings that cover most of its body like cotton, and two ribbon-like feathers fluttering on its head, this is a very beautiful Pokémon.

"Ding~ Altaria, Dragon/Flying type, humming a Pokémon song."

Feature: Natural recovery

Special moves: Dragon Pulse, Divine Bird Strike, End Song, Moon Power, Cotton Guard, Safeguard, Clear Fog (inherited)...

Description: It soars comfortably through the sky, humming a beautiful tune that captivates all who hear it.

"This Tanabata seems amazing~ It's even better than my godmother's."

Looking at the information about Altaria in the Pokédex, Lillie blinked her bright eyes.

"Silly child, my strength is no match for Sigana's."

Upon hearing this, Hydrangea didn't know whether to be happy or amused. How could her Altaria compare to Higana's?

That's really giving her too much credit.

"Hmm..." Lillie seemed to realize she had said something stupid, and touched her lips with a blank expression, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"A traitor to the dragon race, huh? So he inherited the ability to clear away the fog."

Gu Xin looked at the Qixi Bluebird with great interest.

To be honest, Altaria's appearance is really beautiful, and it becomes even more gorgeous and elegant after its super evolution.

"Bluebird, clear away the fog," Higana decisively ordered.

The melodious chirping of the bluebird filled the air as the cotton wings flapped rapidly, creating a gust of wind that swept across the entire area, clearing away all the poisonous thorns on the ground.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Guxin pondered how to deal with Altaria, even though Altaria wasn't actually a Pokémon with strong offensive capabilities.

Even if it reaches the champion level, the key issue now is that Altaria can fly and has very high defense.

Unlike Goodra, whose physical defense is weak, Altaria has very balanced defenses. Most importantly, Altaria has a wide range of moves, including Safeguard, is immune to status conditions, and...

"Altair, cotton defense!" Higanbana gave the order to Altaria again.

"Rockfall!" Guxin shouted without hesitation.

The Dragon King Scorpion growled at the Altaria, and huge rocks materialized into Altarias that shot into the air.

Rockfall in the rocky system!

The fluffy white wings of the Tanabata suddenly swelled up, making it look like a sheep.

A massive rockfall struck the Altaria, causing it to cry out in pain as it was knocked back. However, thanks to its incredibly fluffy cotton wings, which absorbed the force, the damage it actually sustained was limited.

Just like Blastoise's shell and Drapion's retractable pincers, Altaria's cotton wings also have a good effect on deflecting physical attacks, which is something that the game does not have.

The next moment, the 'cotton' returned to its original state, and a layer of white light shone on the Qixi Bluebird.

The Grass-type Cotton Defense can raise the user's defense by three levels!

Gu Xin raised an eyebrow. As expected, Xi Jiana had chosen to strengthen Altaria. That made sense; without strengthening Altaria, its combat power was truly mediocre given its limited offensive capabilities.

"The Bluebird of Tanabata, the Dance of the Dragon!"

However, after strengthening her defenses, Higanbana gave another order to Altaria.

The Qixi Bluebird sang with a beautiful and melodious voice, flapping its cotton wings and dancing in the air along a mysterious and ancient trajectory, its body beginning to shimmer with a faint blue light.

This is Dragon Dance, a Dragon-type move! It can boost the user's speed and physical attack.

Meanwhile, the Dragon King Scorpion could only watch helplessly as the Qixi Bluebird danced awkwardly in the sky.

Fine, fine! So greedy, huh? You're not treating my Dragon King Scorpion like a human being at all!

Guxin hesitated between having the Dragon Scorpion strengthen itself or throwing out Articuno now to kill this flashy and ostentatious dragon traitor.
