Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Sky?

The audience members were stunned when they heard Crimson give the command.

But Blastoise did not hesitate at all.

"Click!!"

The cannon instantly turned around, ignoring the approaching Latios, and shot the surging torrent of water high into the sky, onto the energy barrier of the vast arena.

Splash----

As the water column struck the top of the energy barrier, the powerful impact caused the water column to explode instantly, and the rebound force from the impact caused the water droplets to fall at top speed.

In an instant, it turned into an artificial downpour.

Seeing this, Crimson immediately smiled and said again, "Blastoise, maximum power, Blizzard!"

call----

Suddenly.

Heavy snowflakes drifted down onto the arena.

The sudden drop in temperature caused the man-made rain to instantly condense into crystal-clear ice beads and shards, dramatically increasing its power.

It was only at this point that the audience suddenly realized what was happening.

So that's how it can be done?!

This marks the second time in this match that the audience has been amazed by the tactical shifts made by the two players.

It truly brought flexible combat to its extreme.

"Latios, take the baton, come back."

Xia Yan, equally surprised by the change in Crimson's fighting style, raised an eyebrow and shouted.

"Os".

Latios did not hesitate.

Before the dense ice shards could fall, it transformed into a soft white light and returned to the advanced sphere in Xia Yan's hand at top speed.

The audience was full of praise.

"Champion Xia Yan took Latios back, which put him at a disadvantage."

"There's no way around it. Crimson's change of tactics is truly impressive. If Latios takes such an ice-type attack, the outcome is unpredictable."

"But if you 'take over,' although you can inherit the blessing of 'Dragon Dance,' you will also inherit the side effects of the previous 'Meteor Shower.'"

"It's simple. Xia Yan's next Pokémon will definitely be a physical attack type."

Xia Yan did not disappoint these viewers with strong comprehension skills, and quickly threw out the second advanced ball.

"Go, Aegislash!"

From the thrown Poké Ball, Aegislash with its shield raised appeared on the field.

As if the energy gathered within its body was too abundant, a thick ghost-type mist surrounded Aegislash's body.

"Hmm? The Aegislash Monster..."

Wataru, who was in the lounge, was taken aback when he saw the Shielded Sword Monster that Natsuhiko had summoned.

although.

Xia Yan's shield-and-sword monster seems to be only at the Heavenly King level.

But I don't know why.

It gives the impression that it's stronger than when we fought it before.

How could he have improved so much in just three days?

"Probably... because of the ghost-type energy barrier that group of people created?" Daigo guessed thoughtfully.

At that time, when Xia Yan was fighting the royal nobles alone, they couldn't see what was happening inside, but they were always waiting outside for orders.

The Shielded Sword Monster is stronger, and so is the crimson pressure.

Fortunately.

Given his carefree and easygoing nature, he didn't notice this.

Or rather, they noticed this but didn't really pay much attention to it.

only.

The massive snowstorm created by Blastoise posed little threat to Aegislash, a Steel/Ghost type monster.

The seemingly plump ice crystals and shards, when they struck the Shield Sword Monster's extremely sturdy body, only produced a few dull thuds, and apart from the scattered ice crystals, they did not cause much substantial damage.

Click----

But just as Xia Yan recalled Latios to replace Aegislash, a crisp sound of armor cracking erupted from the crimson Blastoise.

Hatching!

Taking advantage of the opponent's switch Pokémon to strengthen yourself is the most common but also the most practical approach.

The same applies to Red and Blastoise.

"Aegislash Monster, Holy Sword!"

"Jehovah!"

Clang!!!

The Shielded Sword Monster's eyes narrowed, and its sharp, gleaming longsword was suddenly drawn, surrounded by a faint, dark red light, while a huge, ethereal blue sword shadow enveloped it.

He suddenly slashed out.

Bang!!

A sudden, loud bang echoed through the air.

The enormous, ethereal blue sword shadow slashed straight towards Blastoise.

From an unseen angle, one can see that the ethereal blue sword shadow is not only surrounded by wisps of dark energy, but also interspersed with a faint emerald green halo.

Blastoise, protect!

Witnessing the sudden slash of the sword, his crimson eyes narrowed, and he shouted sharply.

"Click!!"

Blastoise slightly bent its thick legs, lowered its body to stabilize itself, and at the same time, a green energy barrier covered its body.

boom!!!

The enormous, pale blue sword shadow crashed down, seemingly blocked by Blastoise's arms through the green barrier, despite the Blastoise's unwavering gaze.

"Hang in there, Blastoise!"

Click!!

Under the tense gaze of countless spectators, Blastoise suddenly raised its curled arms and bent knees.

Click----

With a crisp cracking sound, the powerful sword shadow was violently bounced back.

Of course.

The energy barrier that had been "held" shattered and exploded in that instant.

"Blocked! Blastoise, the Crimson Champion, has successfully blocked Aegislash's terrifying blade!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.

Red, who had been intently watching Blastoise, beamed with delight and shouted excitedly, "Well done, Blastoise! ​​Now it's our turn to counterattack! Hydro Pump!!"

Xia Yan's Latios was able to use its agility to pass between the two water columns.

Although Aegislash also inherited the agility brought by Latios's "Dragon Dance"

But he didn't believe that the Aegislash could do that.

Boom!!

At this moment, Blastoise resembled a sturdy artillery platform firmly rooted to the ground.

With a cannon blast, two jets of water shot out rapidly.

You can even see that the powerful reaction force caused Blastoise's usually steady and heavy feet to slide backward a distance, carving out two deep furrows.

"Shell Break" grants Blastoise faster movement speed, allowing it to quickly launch a counterattack during the gaps between Aegislash attacks.

It also gives Blastoise greater explosive power.

As the two jets of water shot straight towards him, the eyes on the hilt of the Shield Sword Monster narrowed, and a sharp glint appeared in the depths of its eyes.

Having anticipated that Crimson would seize the opportunity to unleash its power, Xia Yan was able to clearly sense Aegislash's inner turmoil and quickly abandoned his original idea of ​​using "King's Shield".

Like an arm, a chilling voice commanded, "Continue, Holy Sword!"

"Jeh!!"

Buzz----

The Shielded Sword Monster, unable to contain its rage, swung its blade once more without hesitation.

The enormous, azure sword shadow, exactly the same as before, reappeared.

only.

Keen observers have already noticed that this time, the sword shadows seem...

"Faster and stronger than the previous sword strike!!"

"Is this another clash of techniques? The battle between Crimson and Champion Natsuhiko is so exciting."

"Slicing water with a sword? This is getting more and more interesting."

Under the eager gaze of the audience.

The massive sword, swirling with dark and cyan light, clashed head-on with the two water columns of the Blastoise.

Splash----
