Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Bu-ee!!"

Sylveon, gathering its power, awaits Natsuhiko's command.

All I saw was...

Its pretty pink eyes flickered slightly, and through "self-suggestion," it successfully replicated the Squid King's ability changes, thus enhancing its physical attack and physical defense.

Physical attack power isn't very useful for Sylveon, but physical defense is exactly what it needs to face the "brute force" of Malamar.

As Sylveon's mouth moved, the orange-yellow energy quickly transformed into pure pink through the interweaving of Fairy-type energy.

Followed by.

A beam of pink energy suddenly erupted.

Under the incredulous gaze of the Squid King, it struck the Squid King at almost zero distance.

boom!!!

The massive energy suddenly erupted, causing the Squid King to be unable to withstand the impact and fly backward.

and.

Sylveon's ability is "Fairy Skin," which allows it to use Normal-type moves, transforming them into Fairy-type moves and significantly increasing their power.

boom! !

The Squid King crashed heavily to the ground.

It struggled to get up again, but the intense pain from the powerful energy surge overwhelmed its consciousness.

fell to the ground.

They have lost their ability to fight.

wow——

The audience erupted in uproar.

One second they were worried about how Sylveon, with its small size, could withstand the violent attacks of Squid King.

result.

The next second, the Squid King was lying on the ground.

Is this the strength of the renowned champion Xia Yan?

This scene refreshed the understanding of Xia Yan for many viewers who had only heard rumors about him but had never seen him fight.

Nie Zi was also stunned for a moment.

He had considered the possibility of the Squid King being defeated, but he hadn't expected it to be defeated so decisively.

but.

Fortunately, Nie Zi was an experienced gym leader. Although he was shocked, he knew that Sylveon's body would be briefly stiff after using "Hyper Beam". He knew he couldn't miss this opportunity.

He quickly took out a second Poké Ball and threw it.

"Thriller Salamander, sonic blast!"

Nie Zi shouted.

click -

As the Dark Sphere opened, a purple, humanoid salamander sprite, leaping amidst arcs of azure electricity, appeared on the field.

This sprite is Nie Zi's second one, the Trembling Salamander.

The String Salamence is a unique Pokémon found only in the Galar region, and it exists in two distinct forms: High-Profile and Low-Profile.

Nie Zi's, on the other hand, is a low-key-looking vibrato salamander.

and.

As soon as the vibrato salamander appeared, it began to pound the four strings on its chest with both hands. Then, it opened its mouth, and a terrifying sound wave surged forth.

Xia Yan's eye twitched.

Good guy.

The "energy storage inside the ball" tactic of the Red Ball has truly been popularized, and now "sound storage inside the ball" has also emerged.

In an instant.

The entire arena was enveloped in the sound waves of the vibrating salamander, and the ground of the entire venue trembled violently under the powerful sound waves.

"'Punk rock' characteristics?"

Punk Rock: When using sound wave-based moves, the power of the moves will be significantly increased.

At the center of the sound waves was none other than Sylveon, who had frozen in place after unleashing its "Destruction Beam".

just.

Although Nie Zi's reaction was not slow.

However, the squid king's insistence on getting up, Nie Zi's brief moment of surprise, and even the time it took for the sound waves to travel all gave Sylveon a chance to recover from the aftereffects.

"Imitate!"

Sylveon is also an expert in Sound Wave moves.

"Buyi—!!"

As Sylveon quickly broke free from the stalemate, its reaction was also very fast, "imitating" Toxtricity's "Boom" move.

The Vibratos has a "punk rock" characteristic that makes its sonic attacks more powerful.

However, Sylveon also has "Fairy Skin" and "Fairy Terrain" to enhance the power of its "Boom Wave" move.

In a short time.

Another surge of intense pink sound waves erupted, clashing with the vibrato salamander's "sonic boom".

The terrifying power generated by the collision of the two powerful sound waves caused the energy barrier of the entire Grass Road Arena to tremble violently.

They withstood it?

As the sound waves gradually subsided, the audience members who had been covering their ears breathed a sigh of relief, but were still shocked.

How could they even realize that?

"As expected of champion Xia Yan, he's incredibly strong..."

Mary, who watched the entire match, couldn't help but sigh.

Her exclamation made Nie Zi's face darken.

It seems unlikely that this younger sister can be brought back to her former self anytime soon.

"Trembling Salamander, Sludge Bomb!"

"Sylveon, Dig!"

------

Chapter 221 Was it too harsh?

bang bang bang-

Clumps of deep purple sludge were spat out from the mouth of the trembling salamander, sweeping across the area where Sylveon was located, covering a large area.

"Buyi—"

However, Sylveon was already extremely skilled at the "Dig" move even before it evolved, so it's even more so now.

With a spray of dirt, Sylveon vanished from Toxtricity's sight in a flash.

This caused the "Sludge Bomb" to miss its target, and they also had to guard against a sudden attack from Sylveon.

"Run!"

Nie Zi frowned and gave instructions.

The String Salamence dragged its arms and kept running, trying to avoid Sylveon's attack from underground.

Simultaneously.

While running, the String Salamence, under Nie Zi's command, also attempted to spit venom towards the cave left by Sylveon.

If you can poison Sylveon, the subsequent battle will be relatively easy.

Xia Yan simply stood quietly to the side, neither giving orders nor showing any sign of nervousness.

It creates the illusion that you have no idea what he's going to do next.

"coming!"

Suddenly.

Nie Zi let out a low shout.

Even without his reminder, the trembling salamander clearly felt the slight trembling of the ground beneath its feet.

"Jump up! It's highly poisonous!"

"Buyi—"

Just as Nie Zi and Toxtricity had predicted, Sylveon suddenly burst out of the ground beneath Toxtricity's feet, with tremendous momentum and considerable impact.

While the trembling salamander, having anticipated this, felt a slight sense of smugness, it spat out a mouthful of "highly toxic" solution containing extremely potent toxins.

As long as this "highly toxic" substance comes into contact with Sylveon, Toxtricity is absolutely confident that it can poison Sylveon.

Once Sylveon is poisoned, it will have numerous means and methods to make it difficult for Sylveon to continue its battles.

but.

Faced with the "poison" spat out by Toxtricity, Sylveon did not dodge or evade.

Ok?

Nie Zi's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of her heart.

hum-
