Pokémon Breeding Guide.

Chapter 441 Pokémon, and Rogue

"This level of trial dungeon is just about fighting vines? Something doesn't feel right."

Just as Daigo warned Metagross to be careful of a sneak attack, the vines turned into black smoke and completely dissipated, from which several pure lights of different colors floated up.

Diancie's expression brightened: [It really can cure Carlos's malice!]

In other words, diamond-producing countries will no longer have to worry about pollution from this stuff!

Before Daigo could even reach out and touch it, a light shone from his clothes, and the virtual screen successfully combined in front of Daigo and Diancie.

Wings of the Gale: Your speed will be significantly increased in the upcoming battle, thanks to the blessing of the Arrowhawk.

Speed ​​Up: After each trial round, your speed will be increased, a blessing from the Centipede King.

Sharp Eyes: Significantly increases your team's accuracy during battle, a blessing from Meowth.

Daigo:?

drop--

"This is a recorded phone call; no reply is required."

Zhu Suihan's voice rang out: "I believe you have already noticed the options. To make a long story short, this is an identification program that I created using the data I collected."

"This is harmless energy buried deep within polluted energy. It is a useful part that can be recovered after careful analysis. In each round of battle, you can choose one amplification to temporarily retain."

"As for why we can't have them all, I can only say that Kirchert could explain this in twenty or thirty large papers, so I won't go into details."

"Recording finished."

Daigo seemed to be deep in thought; he felt like a garbage dump employee.

In a sense, is that really true?

"Dianci, let's think about the boost we should choose. The Trial Realm levels should be set by the Legendary Pokémon according to the difficulty level, in order to ensure our safety and be mentally prepared."

Diancie paused, then said, "Well, Daigo-san, you can choose for yourself. There's no need to consider mine."

Daigo laughed and said, "We are comrades now, and we all need to contribute in the battles to come, so the boost we choose will also need your consideration."

He has a thorough understanding of teaching methods in this area, and in addition to his own responsibilities as a champion, he sometimes provides guidance to unfamiliar trainers.

Diancie nodded as if she understood, feeling that Daigo's approach was similar to the Diamond Minister's approach of encouraging him to think and make judgments independently as much as possible.

【Then, let's choose the second option, acceleration】

After a brief encounter, Diancie had already grasped Daigo's strength, so choosing an effect that allows for sustained growth was definitely the right decision.

The third item, Sharp Eyes, is not very useful against Metagross; the combination of superpowers and top-tier intelligence is already top-notch.

Daigo nodded: "Okay, we'll choose Speed ​​Up."

After intercepting the energy representing acceleration, the remaining pure energy flew out of the trial realm.

Metagross swayed its body and began to communicate with Diancie using its psychic powers.

While this increase is relatively straightforward and forceful, it requires a period of adjustment; otherwise, minor issues may arise during combat.

Daigo also shifted his shoulder, his eyes filled with regret.

Is this boost only for Pokémon? He also wants to try out Lance's Dragonite strategy.

The second wave of attacks arrived, this time bringing not only a large number of vines but also some Pokémon formed from polluted energy.

Daigo nodded, "That's more like it."

"Metamorphose, clear the field. Diancie, the Pokémon with the polluted energy is yours."

"Mehta".

[Okay Mr. Daigo! 】

Diancie faced off against a corrupted version of a rogue panda. The huge gem above her head shone with a light as clear as water and gauze, and she unleashed a burst of lunar power.

However, the rogue panda didn't just stand there and take the beating. While dodging, it stomped the ground hard, and the power of the earthquake was close to that of Diancie.

A pale green barrier opened up, and Diancie, who had used this move to block the earthquake, noticed the rapidly approaching rogue panda, whose head was glowing with iron-gray attribute energy!

Iron Head!

It's just four times the restraint, as if nobody doesn't have it!

Diancie smiled and gently tapped the rogue panda's head with her pink diamond scepter to gain leverage.

Although the scepter shattered inch by inch under the power of the iron head, Diancie successfully avoided this powerful attack that was four times more effective than her own. Pink light flowed from the gem on her head to her entire body.

Because of the elemental energy counter, the fairy energy, which collapsed too quickly, could not provide the domineering panda with more battlefield effects, and now it was too late to dodge!

Magic shines!

Tianxi watched quietly as the domineering panda turned into black smoke and disappeared. She understood that this was just a manifestation of the polluted energy, and that the domineering panda had not actually lost its life.

Is this what battle is?

Even when emotions are running high, one must always maintain inner restraint and composure when facing the enemy.

Sure enough, this was on a completely different level from the combat training in the diamond mine.

Although Alcremie told her that all she needed to do while holding the teapot was to keep guard and maintain distance for ranged attacks, Diancie still wanted to rely on herself.

After all, the tactic of endlessly defending is a bit too cheesy and doesn't seem to serve any special training purpose.

Daigo, who was observing from the shadows, nodded. At least Diancie's performance was fine.

This method of leveraging strength is actually very suitable for Pokémon like Diancie when facing opponents whose size is overwhelming.

For example, contact moves like "Iron Tail" can have a similar effect when going head-to-head.

Metagross cleared the area before Diancie, and when Daigo saw the pure energy floating out of the ashes of the polluted energy, he suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

What kind of boost can we expect this time?

Iron Fist: A blessing from the Rogue Panda, an ultimate, heroic punch that enhances the trial participant's fist skills.

Natural Recovery: A blessing from the Wood Fairy, which heals your status ailments at the end of the turn.

Choose the first one!

Diancie made her decision without even finishing reading it, because this battle was not only her special training, but also her way of doing her part to deal with the root of Carlos's troubles.

The "Iron Fist" amplification effect is enough to give your strongest member a greater boost.

[Daigo, I'd also like to try playing the support role.]

Daigo suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, that was my mistake too. I forgot you're still a princess."

As rulers, they generally wouldn't personally take action against everyone they encounter, unlike them.

Judging from Diancie's appearance, she probably isn't the kind of super war maniac who always leads the charge in person.

Daigo rubbed his wrists: "Come on, everyone, get ready for the third round."

"Cameron!"

A powerful roar came from the opposite side, and a Mega Blastoise with scarlet eyes stepped out, its body radiating an almost overflowing aura of power that demonstrated its strength.

Tianxi's expression instantly turned serious.

The absence of vines and those seemingly dangerous crystals meant that the Mega Blastoise in front of them was even more powerful.

"Indeed a formidable enemy."

Two cannons on its arms were exposed, and massive amounts of evil energy emanated from the three cannons, with dark purple torrents rushing straight toward Metagross.

Mega Blastoise's ability: Super Launcher!

【careful!】

Diancie waved her scepter, and a towering wall of light rose before the Dark Pulse, weakening its power as much as possible and giving Metagross more time to dodge.

Diancie used her other hand to send a white light through her other hand, helping to transfer the power of her special move into Metagross's body as it dodged the Dark Pulse.

As Daigo assessed Metagross's current condition, an uncontrollable smile crept onto his face.

I've never had such a rich and exciting match in my life!

"Dianci, one more time!"

【clear!】

Blastoise unleashed its Dark Pulse attack again, this time making it easier for Metagross, which had already collected relevant data, to dodge.

Correspondingly, the lightning crackling around Metagross became even more dazzling.

"Cameron!"

The Blastoise, caught off guard, turned its cannon towards Diancie, unleashing a water wave far more powerful than Dark Pulse, which was easily blocked by a single Guard move.

Now is the time!

Diancie waved her scepter, and the power of the Rock Blockade instantly trapped Blastoise in a small space, with no rocks falling from its front.

However, Blastoise couldn't see the outside arena either, because Mega Metagross, which had already charged up, completely blocked its view, and the ferocious white tank was already close by!

Mega Metagross, with its Hard Claw ability, can boost the power of contact moves.

Adding to the boost from the first two rounds, Blastoise is now facing a Mega Metagross that has both Iron Fist and Hard Claw abilities activated, is faster, and has received a boost from a special move.

The electric light flashing on Metagross's body is from its Thunder Fist.

Control the damage!

"Mehta!"

Fully charged with electric-type energy, Metagross, now resembling its Volt Mode form, charged forward and struck Mega Blastoise. It was as if its entire body was the source of the attack!

Take this Geppetta Giant's Fist!

The near-full power and frenzied lightning turned Mega Blastoise into a dark red firework. Metagross, which had charged forward a distance, was covered in puffs of white mist as it began to cool itself down.

Metagross perked up: "Meta!"

I'm going to take on ten!

Even though I can only possess this power now, it feels amazing!

Moreover, the chosen amplification combination was really good, allowing him to experience the joy of taking down an opponent with a single punch.

If Metagross were to encounter another enemy weak to Steel, it felt that it would be even more satisfying to unleash a Comet Punch.

Daigo also became interested and began to look forward to what kind of boost the later trial realms would provide him.

I must say, this trial realm is quite interesting.

In addition to fighting alongside your partners, you can also battle with Pokémon like Diancie, which suits your taste perfectly.

It was worth staying up all night yesterday to arrange the work for the next period of time!

"The teamwork was excellent; it's already very good for a first collaboration."

Daigo laughed and said, "Next, we can try a different approach. Metagross can also play a support role. You can take turns being the attacker and the support."

Metagross can create walls and open spaces, as well as weaken opponents' transformation moves. After all, he doesn't just have that "Teikou's Metagross" combat system.

When tactically necessary, Metagross can also become a frontline support in the team, providing a stage for its teammates.

Since it's a training program, let's go all out and let Diancie get familiar with everything from damage dealer to support.

Diancie smiled: "Please, Mr. Daigo!"
