Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

They euphemistically call it: "The deeper the love, the harsher the criticism."

Upon seeing Nine-Tails, Cynthia raised an eyebrow slightly.

Judging from the choice of the starting Pokémon, Xia Yan has the advantage.

Xia Yan grinned and said, "Cynthia, I know you too well."

Cynthia just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Battle begins!"

As the robot referee finished speaking.

Their expressions turned serious in an instant.

call--

Suddenly, a thin layer of glistening snowflakes began to fall across the entire area.

And in a very short time, the sparse snowflakes became unusually dense, showing a tendency to turn into a blizzard.

Nine-Tails' "snowfall" ability.

The sudden drop in temperature made Cynthia's Togekiss feel extremely uncomfortable.

It was as if every flap of the wings was met with tremendous resistance.

When the extremely cold ice and snow fell on its wings, the chill that seeped through the feathers made it feel its body gradually stiffen.

So cold.

Togekiss gained a completely new understanding of the ice-type energy displayed by Nine-Tails.

Togekiss's feedback was naturally noticed by Cynthia immediately.

She frowned almost imperceptibly and gave the order:

"Pokémon, electromagnetic wave!"

First, try to see if you can get the control effect working.

On the other side, Xia Yan's voice was stern.

"Nine-tailed Fox, a trick."

"Waaah—"

The nine-tailed fox murmured softly, a cunning glint appearing in its deep blue, crystalline eyes. The snowflakes swirling around it rose and swirled as its aura intensified, threatening to form a snow tornado.

Although the faint fluctuations of the "electromagnetic waves" make them difficult for opponents to detect, Nine-Tails, with its control over the weather and the surrounding ice and snow, can still clearly sense their presence.

the most important is.

It can use these wind and snow to obstruct or even completely cancel out electromagnetic waves.

This is an ability that the weather-controlling sprites in the game cannot demonstrate.

The electromagnetic waves failed.

The Nine-Tails gained the power of "Trickery," which in turn amplified its influence on the surrounding weather, making Togekiss even more uncomfortable.

But Cynthia seemed unconcerned about this defeat.

He brushed aside the blonde hair on his forehead, his aura suddenly shifted, and his eyes became sharp as knives.

"Togekiss, Magic Flame, then use Angel's Kiss!"

Pokekiss has an air superiority that cannot be ignored.

Bear!!

A magical orange flame suddenly rose up, swirling around Togekiss without flaming out, but the intense heat dispelled the effects of the ice and snow on Togekiss.

Only controllable flames like "magical flames" can achieve such an effect.

It's clear that Cynthia has done a lot of research on how to deal with Ice-type Pokémon.

This move impressed Xia Yan.

He retracted his previous statement.

He really knew Cynthia very well.

But Cynthia is, after all, a person who is worthy of being called the Sinnoh Champion.

How could she possibly copy Xia Yan's methods of training elves?

Even though Xia Yan's tactics are indeed very suitable for a Pokémon like Togekiss.

Just as Xia Yan couldn't simply copy Giovanni's training method for Beedrill, Cynthia couldn't simply copy her training method for Togekiss.

After the flames rose, the temperature returned to his body, so that Togekiss's flight ability was no longer affected.

She immediately sent a sweet flying kiss.

Xia Yan's eyes flashed.

The "Angel's Kiss" attack has a low hit rate.

Let's bet it won't hit!

"Avoid the Aurora Curtain!"

The nine tails suddenly retracted, and the nine-tailed creature, with its agile body, moved with light and graceful steps, like a butterfly dancing in the snow.

Under the cover of ice and snow, a magnificent "aurora curtain" fell in front of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The agile Nine-Tails successfully avoided Togekiss's "Angel's Kiss".

just.

The moment its "aurora curtain" fell, I was suddenly startled.

Transforming into a white light and aided by Togekiss's "divine speed," it appeared silently in front of it in a flash.

Its wings are sharp as knives, and its speed is as fast as lightning.

The "air slash" condensed on it was also unleashed in a smooth motion.

Bang! ! !

Even with the "divine speed" buff, the Nine-Tails couldn't react immediately.

It was instantly swatted away by Togekiss.

Fortunately, the "Aurora Curtain" mitigated the impact of the Pokekiss attack.

Furthermore, it failed to provide any control effect with the "Air Slash".

Xia Yan and Shirona frowned almost simultaneously.

Cynthia's luck was not on her side because of Togekiss's unexpected "Air Slash" at such close range.

Xia Yan's success stemmed from the "surprises" that Cynthia repeatedly gave him.

"Angel's Kiss" is a decoy; the real purpose is to get the Nine-Tails moving so that it can deliver an unexpected blow.

besides......

Xia Yan's lips twitched slightly.

"Divine Speed" plus "Air Slash"?

A long-range turret.

Is Cynthia being used as an assassin?

If it weren't for Nine-Tails' good luck, it would actually be quite useful.

"Nine-Tails, freeze the world!"

Xia Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He can't give Cynthia another chance to surprise him, and he can't be greedy for the Nine-Tails' blessing anymore, otherwise he might really capsize in a ditch.

The nine-tailed fox stood up, its azure eyes deepening in color, and let out a soft cry to the sky.

In an instant.

The snowflakes that were constantly falling throughout the area seemed to come alive, becoming the Nine-Tails' weapon.

The ice and snow, filled with extreme cold, condensed into glistening ice flowers on the air under the influence of terrifying ice energy.

Sensing the change in the surrounding air, both Cynthia and Togekiss's expressions changed drastically.

Especially Pokémon.

It was also surrounded by "magical flames".

But at this moment, it felt as if its flames were about to be frozen in this terrifyingly low temperature.

"Tokiss, yawn!"

"Hilona said quickly."

A tiny, almost imperceptible hypnotic bubble wafted from Pokekis's nose.

ka ka ka-

The moment the hypnotic bubble floated out, ice flowers actually condensed on the magically controlled flames surrounding Togekiss's body.

The flames were frozen!

Since even flames can be frozen.

Let alone Tokis?

This wide-range, instant-kill move is the result of Kurama's long-term training and demonstrates its excellent destructive power.

Boo!

ding ding ding-

As the hypnotic bubble burst, Togekiss, frozen into an ice sculpture, fell to the ground with a crisp sound, surrounded by equally frozen ice crystals.

"Nine-tailed Fox, Mysterious Guardian!"

Seeing that Kurama had been stunned for a moment and its eyelids were starting to droop, Xia Yan gave Kurama its last command.
