Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

He muttered to himself.

Now that we know you have Excadrill, it would be a disservice to Xia Yan's understanding of the Sandstorm Team if we didn't make good use of it.

Seizing the opportunity, Hudi's eyes flashed.

Play the role!

The characteristics of the Hu region also became "sha" (a type of sand-making technique).

Then.

Alakazam used "trait swapping" to change Beedrill's "Adaptability" trait to "Sand Spray".

Not only can it be immune to the continuous damage caused by sandstorms, but it also grants Mega Beedrill the speed boost from the "Sand Rush" ability.

This time.

Super Beedrill speed

It was truly like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.

hum-

Alakazam flapped its wings once more and suddenly disappeared from Excadrill's sight.

Upon seeing this, the dragon-headed ground squirrel's heart skipped a beat, and its eyes narrowed sharply.

So fast?

The speeding Beedrill looked even stranger.

Its original speed was already very fast, but after reaching a certain speed, it became very difficult to increase it further.

It was as if there were shackles binding it, restricting it tightly.

However, this shackle began to loosen after being gifted by the legendary Zapdos and a host of other Zapdos.

This time.

With the added benefit of the "Sand Splash" ability, Beedrill felt the shackles loosening more noticeably, and the constraints on it weakening considerably.

and so.

next second.

Before even Excadrill could react, Mega Beedrill appeared behind it without it even noticing.

Sharp, long needles, their cold light like stars.

The dragon-headed ground squirrel was shocked, but its hands didn't stop moving. It lunged forward and burrowed headfirst into the sand.

My heart was pounding.

It didn't understand why the Super Beedrill was so incredibly fast.

It's like they've been given a cheat code.

The clash between Mega Beedrill and Excadrill was just the beginning of their battle.

like.

It was also the only aspect where they gained a slight advantage.

In the hazy shadows of the sand, a Scorpion King quietly revealed its form, attacking from behind Xia Yan and the others.

Bang——! !

The Charizard turned around to meet the attack.

However, the Gyrocopter's venomous pincers not only sent Lance's Charizard flying with a single punch, but the venom surrounding them also clung to Charizard's body.

Charizard is poisoned!

Rumble—!!

The ground trembled violently, and rock pillars rose up from the ground, bearing down on them with unstoppable force.

"Garuda, Dragon Dive!"

Cynthia's voice came through.

Mega Garchomp was covered in dense Dragon-type energy and charged head-on into the massive, unavoidable rock pillar.

Click——! !

The terrifying power and dense energy smashed the original rock pillar in two.

But this is not something to be happy about.

Because those rock pillars that followed seemed to have locked onto their target, surrounding Mega Garchomp and piercing from all directions.

Cynthia's eyes narrowed slightly.

Fortunately.

Two fine, super-powered threads were wrapped around Mega Garchomp's body.

They pulled and tugged at it, finally managing to drag it back.

Even so.

Mega Garchomp was still hit head-on by the rock pillar that rose at an extremely fast speed.

It flew out violently.

It crashed to the ground.

It took him a long time to catch his breath.

An attack originating from Tyranitar!

Although the sandstorm obscured visibility, its power still allowed us to determine who initiated the attack.

Even Mega Garchomp, after its super evolution, cannot match it.

This is a suppression based on absolute power.

As Gliscor and Tyranitar's attacks proved effective, Ryuichi Hoshino unleashed the full power of his other Pokémon, launching a barrage of attacks.

The "dragon claws" of the desert dragonfly and the emerald "energy balls" of the cradle lily charged through layers of sandstorms, giving Xia Yan and his companions no time to catch their breath.

Dragonite gritted its teeth and charged forward.

His fist was filled with dragon-type energy, and he countered with a "dragon claw".

Dragonite, which rarely suffers setbacks in clashes of strength and energy, staggered backward under the attack of Flygon, only stopping when it was helped up by Alakazam and Gardevoir.

But just as it was about to catch its breath, the emerald green "energy ball" appeared in front of it.

The crystalline, rich energy grew larger and larger in its eyes.

hum-

The golden patterns, leaving afterimages, swept past Dragonite before the "Energy Ball" struck it.

Bang! !

The cyan energy scattered in scattered points.

A giant Beedrill with a solemn expression suddenly appeared in front of Dragonite.

After several simple tests, even with the enhancements they received, Xia Yan and his two companions were still clearly at a disadvantage.

Ultimately, the difference in absolute power meant that even super evolution could only bridge the gap, not reverse the outcome.

Xia Yan and his two companions were suppressed.

It was a very thorough one.

"Hmm?" Hoshino Ryuichi hummed softly, a hint of surprise in his voice, as he passed through the sandstorm.

"This peculiar energy, is that what gives you your confidence? It really surprised me that it didn't shatter at the slightest touch."

He admitted that he had underestimated Xia Yan and his two companions' abilities slightly.

Wataru and Cynthia turned their gazes toward Natsuhiko.

Xia Yan pressed his hand down slightly.

Despite the unfavorable situation, there was some good news.

He has been doing his best to get the elves used to each other's presence and to help them get along.

In other words, all three players have exceptionally good Pokémon; otherwise, it would be impossible to develop synergy in such a battle.

Simultaneously.

At least the initial clash gave him a rough idea of ​​Hoshino Ryuichi's capabilities.

If he previously thought his chances of winning were only 10%, now they are at least 30%.

But then Hoshino Ryuichi said this next.

But it was as if another abyss had been opened beneath the deep pit they stood in.

"Fine, then I'll show you everything about this old man."

I could faintly hear the sound of a cane hitting the ground.

"Giant Rock Monster, Double Sandstorm!"

Pang Yan Monster!!

The third core!

Screw the 30% win rate!

Yellow sand.

It had completely obscured the sky, extending beyond the Tower of Time and Space, covering a small portion of Poplar Town in yellow sand.

"Bangiras, use Stone Spikes again."

"Darkrai!"

Now, Xia Yancai has finally given up on the possibility of winning.

Darkrai understood, raised its arms high, and a ball of dark energy condensed between its hands.
