Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan glanced at the Vulpix, and the little guy instantly understood.

"Boom King Kong!"

Dan Di was only briefly surprised, but did not stop his pace.

Although the "magic space" failed, it gave him a head start.

dong dong dong-

Then I saw it.

Standing behind the Super Armored Rhinoceros, the Thunder King Kong kept patting his chest.

Followed by.

Its emerald green leaves shimmered with a shimmering halo, and tender grass seedlings sprouted wildly from what was once a bare, ordinary field.

And these grass seedlings grew rapidly at a visible speed, covering most of the area in the blink of an eye.

A grassy field!

It originates from the "Grassmaker" trait of the Thunder King Kong.

Grass maker: Creates a "grassy field".

It functions similarly to other weather-related Pokémon with abilities like "dust blowing" and "rain," except that the "Grassmaker" ability affects the terrain.

Before the Galar region was announced, only Tapu Bulu, one of the four guardian deities of the Alola region, possessed this characteristic.

Grassy Terrain: Grass-type moves are increased in power, Pokémon on grass continuously recover HP, and moves such as Earthquake, Magnitude, or Stomp are reduced in damage.

and this.

It wasn't just the Tree of Wisdom's ability to blast the Great Ape that was at work; its actions went far beyond that.

The sun, which originally hung high in the sky overlooking the earth, seemed to become even more intense and scorching.

The heat shone down from the sky and then rose up, causing the temperature of the entire venue to rise sharply.

Sunny day!

Under such sunny weather, Charizard and Cinderace, both Fire-type Pokémon, gradually became more and more excited.

This Thunder King Kong is clearly another core among Leon's Pokémon.

Although it is only at the near-Elite Four level, its influence on the terrain and weather allows it to significantly enhance the combat capabilities of Leon's other Pokémon.

As the grasslands expanded and the weather grew hotter, Leon's Cinderace and Charizard also began to move.

Then, Flame Ace picked up a pebble from the ground with its nimble feet and bounced it between its feet. Countless flames surged from its body and quickly wrapped around the pebble.

In the blink of an eye, that seemingly insignificant pebble transformed into a massive, blazing fireball.

With a fierce expression, Flame Ace pushed off the ground and launched himself out like a shot.

Fireball!

The signature move of Cinderace is incredibly powerful.

The temperature in the entire stadium continued to rise again due to the appearance of the fireball.

at the same time.

The Charizard hovering in the air vigorously flapped its wings, creating a rolling heat wave, and swept in with the "Fireball" of Cinderace.

Hot air!

Two fire-based moves that complement each other.

The airflow of "hot wind" made the flames of the "fireball" even more rampant, which in turn emitted increasingly scorching hot air, which in turn fed back to the "hot wind" and increased its power.

Moreover, this move doesn't require locking onto a target at all; its attack range is extremely large.

It covered almost half the area and included all of Xia Yan's Pokémon.

In a short time.

The scorching heatwave relentlessly pounded against the defensive barrier, and even those closest to the barrier, and those separated by it, could feel the intense heat emanating from their bodies.

But this is not the whole story of the Pill Emperor's offensive.

The ice-walking puppet raises the ice crystal scepter in its hand, its top shimmering with a shimmering green light accompanied by a dazzling brilliance.

Most of the scorching sunlight falling from the sky was absorbed by the scepter, and it was also mixed with the emerald energy that was constantly overflowing from the "green field" on the ground.

Sunbeam!

On a sunny day, the intensity of sunlight increases significantly, so the "solar beams" that normally need to concentrate light skip the intermediate process.

the other side.

Leon's Aegislash disappeared into the shadows, and when it reappeared, it was already behind Alakazam.

Its unsheathed blade also gleamed with the same dazzling sunlight as the scepter of the ice-treading puppet.

Sunlight Blade!

After using the "Grass Field" and "Sunny Day" of the Thunder King Kong.

Leon's Charizard, Cinderace, Ice Golem, and Aegislash launched a terrifying attack simultaneously.

All of them are extremely powerful moves.

It seemed as if they were worried that the longer the time dragged on, the easier it would be for Xia Yan to counter their moves.

The four-pronged attack was overwhelming, making everyone worry for Xia Yan.

only.......

"Snow?"

The audience members closest to the snow were feeling the heat and wanted to wipe their sweat when a crystal-clear hexagonal snowflake slowly drifted down from the sky and landed on their cheeks, dispelling the heat and bringing a touch of coolness.

How can there be snow on a sunny day?

When this thought crossed people's minds, they found that the originally scorching sunlight had already disappeared.

Instead, snowflakes fell continuously, mixed with large amounts of ice crystals and hail.

snow!

Xia Yan saw the little six-tailed creature squatting on the ground in front of him, its head tilted back, its whole body radiating a thin layer of snow-white, crystalline energy, and wisps of white mist rising from its body.

The weather suddenly changed!

"Read it first! Xia Yantian read Dan Di's 'Sunny Day' move first, and the 'Snowfall' ability was perfectly timed after Sunny Day—!!"

The host, who also experiences the alternation of intense heat and icy cold, listened to the characteristics of the Ice Vulpix transmitted through the headset and provided timely and passionate commentary, answering the audience's questions.

"Snowfall" characteristic!

Generally speaking.

Traits take precedence over moves.

This is even more true at the same level.

After all, a Pokémon's special ability is something it has possessed since birth, while moves are learned through training. Innate abilities and acquired skills each have a certain advantage.

In addition, Xia Yan's successful prediction allowed the Six-Tails' "Snowfall" to successfully replace the Great Sunny Day of the Thunder King Kong.

The weather changed abruptly, and the temperature plummeted.

The combined attack of Charizard and Cinderace, "Heat Wave" and "Fireball," has a significantly reduced temperature, thus decreasing its threat level.

While it didn't have a complete impact, it did have a significant effect.

Simultaneously.

The "sunbeam" of the ice-walking doll had not yet fully condensed before it suddenly dissipated.

Instead, it took on more offensive roles in Leon's team, and the Aegislash, which was very familiar with offensive moves, unleashed its "Sunlight Blade".

hum-

just.

Alakazam's figure blurred, and in its place appeared Beedrill, its long stingers wreathed in blue light, its cross-shaped blades blocking Aegislash's "Sunblade".

Meanwhile, Infernape burst into flames, entering an "enthusiastic" state, and slammed its fist into the ground.

Kaka-

With a rumble, large chunks of rock flew through the air, and a massive rock pillar enveloped in dark red flames rose rapidly from the ground.

Having accurately predicted the trajectory of the "fireball," it suddenly pierced through and disappeared into the enormous fireball.

Infernape put its newfound knowledge to good use, employing the combination of "Grit," "Stomp," and "Stone Smash," which it had just learned two days prior, in actual combat.

The absolute focus brought about by its "enthusiasm" allows it to accurately calculate the position of the "fireball".

Small Cliff Sword!

boom--!!

The collision between the giant fireball and the dark red rock pillar unleashed a terrifying explosion, with countless waves of heat spreading outwards.

It even mitigated the impact of the six tails' "snowfall" characteristic to some extent.

The defensive barrier flickered between light and shadow due to the aftershocks of the collision.

If we say...

Xia Yan successfully deciphered the "magic space," which was still within Dan Di's acceptable range.

But this countermeasure of "reading first" took Dan Di somewhat by surprise.

He originally thought that summoning the Thunder King Kong would give Xia Yan the impression that it was a passive choice made to deal with Milotic, but in fact it concealed the identity of the Thunder King Kong as a second core.

Xia Yan's decision to replace Milotic with Ice Vulpix at the end also suggests that it was a choice made to deal with Rillaboom.

But I never expected it.

He had a hidden skill: "Sunny Day," while Xia Yan had a hidden skill: "Snowfall."

It was as if he had been part of Xia Yan's calculations from the very beginning.

He already valued Xia Yan enough. After "Sunny Day" was formed, he did not hesitate for a moment and immediately ordered the four Pokémon to launch the fiercest attack, trying to turn the initial advantage into a substantial one.
