Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Kikuno slowly took out a necklace that she usually hid under her scarf, its seven-colored light shining brightly.

Just listen.

"Steelcore, Mega Evolve!"

And sandstorms.

It's still going on...

even.

The situation is showing signs of escalating.

Chapter 149 Kikuno: I surrender; Natsuhiko: Huh? I can't hear you.

"Steelcore, Mega Evolve!"

As Kikuno's solemn voice rang out, the key stone on her necklace instantly burst forth with Mega Evolution light, activating the Mega Stone carried on Steelix.

A dazzling burst of super-evolutionary energy enveloped Steelix.

In the hazy, magnificent light, the appearance of the giant steel snake changed.

"chatter--!!"

Steelix, which was already close to ten meters long, became even longer after Mega Evolution, exceeding ten meters in length.

Kikuno's giant Steelix was clearly well-trained, and after its Mega Evolution, its metallic body far exceeded twelve meters in length.

The thick metal shell, and the protruding joints on its body, have been transformed from metal into diamond-like textures, indicating that after Mega Evolution, Steelix's already terrifying body density has been greatly increased once again.

With his body upright and his large head hanging down, Doronbaruto silently gazed at the opposite field with his blue eyes, unable to suppress the restlessness brought about by his "reverse scale".

Steelix, having completed its Mega Evolution, boasts defensive capabilities that rank among the best in the entire Pokémon world.

Simultaneously.

The ability of the Mega Steelix has essentially become "Sand Power".

The ongoing sandstorm, to some extent, compensates for the Super Steelix's lack of offensive capabilities.

Meanwhile, Kikuno summoned another spirit, the Scorpion King.

In the midst of the raging sandstorm, their figures appeared and disappeared, making them difficult to spot.

obviously.

This Scorpion King's special ability is "Sand Cloaking"!

Feeling the oppressive presence of the enormous size of the giant Steelix, Xia Yan took a deep breath.

A hippopotamus with "sandy rocks"?

With the sandstorm still raging, Xia Yan had already figured out what the item Kikuno's hippopotamus was carrying.

can only say.

As expected of a veteran superstar, he was indeed well-prepared.

"Elite Four member, are you waiting for my Infernape to fall?" Xia Yan said with a hint of helplessness, already holding a Poké Ball in his hand.

Infernape is probably the Pokémon that poses the greatest threat to Steelix among Xia Yan's Pokémon.

Kikuno just smiled and didn't reply.

But her expression was enough to prove that Xia Yan's guess was correct.

The champion-level Steelix has terrifying defense, making it almost impossible to kill instantly. In fact, its massive size provides excellent cover for its companions.

If it isn't dealt with, it will be difficult to deal with its companions.

The decision to deal with it, and the estimated cost, was something Xia Yan found difficult to accept.

Xia Yan took a deep breath, calmed the slight agitation rising in his heart, and threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

Amidst the flashing red light...

"Os!!"

The mythical beast Latios, with wings that spread out like airplane wings, appeared beside Draco.

Like Infernape, it suffered damage from "Stealth Rock" as soon as it entered the game.

Don't underestimate the seemingly insignificant moves "Sandstorm" and "Stealth Rock"; the damage they accumulate invisibly is absolutely considerable.

Latios grunted and looked at the enormous Steelix, then subconsciously glanced at Dragapult beside him, who was struggling to control his rage.

He smacked his lips.

It's not easy to beat them.

but.

Xia Yan quickly instilled confidence in it.

Latios, Mega Evolve!

Since we can't defeat Mega Steelix in one hit, let's fight Mega Evolution with Mega Evolution!

"Os—!!"

Latios immediately perked up and shouted.

As the aura of the Mega Evolution dissipated, Mega Latios appeared in the arena, its form swaying.

Latios, who had been learning from Rayquaza for a while, was not yet at the Champion level.

But with the help of Mega Evolution, it also showed the aura of a Champion-level Pokémon.

It's both a champion-level beast and a mythical creature!

There's a chance!

The battle continues!

"Baruya!!"

As both sides prepared to continue, Draco finally could no longer suppress the restlessness brought on by its "Reverse Scale". With its crimson eyes flashing, it swung its body and charged straight at Mega Steelix!

Reverse scale!

"Steel Serpent, Beyblade!"

The "Gyro Ball," whose power is calculated based on the speed of both sides, will be extremely powerful between Super Scorbunny and Draco.

hum-

The enormous serpent began to spin, and its speed increased rapidly.

As it spun, the raging sandstorms around it were affected by the airflow it generated, and they were all incorporated into the rising silvery-white whirlwind, making its power even more considerable.

Xia Yan frowned.

Doronbaruto's "prone state" is what he finds most troublesome right now.

Forcing Draco to exchange moves like that would be a huge disadvantage for him.

However, it is clearly impossible to stop Dorombalut's volatile temper for the time being.

Therefore, the situation on the field was not good for Xia Yan at this moment.

Nourishes—

A harsh, teeth-grinding sound suddenly rang out.

Dragapult, glowing red and radiating a savage aura, recklessly slammed its weapon at the rapidly spinning Steelix.

The scaly tail collided and rubbed against the heavy metal, producing an unpleasant sound and sending sparks flying everywhere.

"Baruya!!"

Dralonga roared, unleashing its full power and causing dragon-type energy to surge continuously.

But no matter what they did, they couldn't make the giant Beedrill stop moving.

But in fact.

The giant Steelix was also quite surprised.

It didn't stop, that's for sure.

The power of Doron Balto is simply too terrifying.

Not stopping doesn't mean the speed hasn't decreased.

even.

Its prized metal body was stung by the constant friction with Dorombalut.

the most important.

As the two continued to rub against each other, the temperature at the point of contact suddenly rose.

The tails of both the giant Steelix and Dragapult turned a deep red.

Upon seeing this, Xia Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Latios, cleanse the light!"

"Os!"

Mega Latios opened its mouth slightly, and a pure, milky-white light emanated from it, aimed directly at the reddened area where Dragapult and Mega Steelix had come into contact.

just.

"Scorpion King, Frozen Fang!"

Kikuno's voice rang out at just the right moment.

Scorpion King, who had been hiding in the sandstorm looking for an opportunity, suddenly appeared beside Mega Latios.

Its sharp, fang-like teeth gleamed with an intensely cold, azure aura, like wisps of electricity, as it snapped at the wings of Mega Latios.

But at that moment...

Xia Yan's eyes gleamed with superpowers.
