Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

however.

sizzle-

The red gem on the dragon's forehead kept flashing, and a wisp of golden, vein-like electricity gathered in front of it. Under its control, the released electricity shot towards Regice.

at the same time.

Boom!

A sudden clap of thunder, followed by a bright bolt of lightning striking down from the sky, and then Zapdos's thunderclap.

Zapdos's Thunder attack, boosted by Electric Terrain, and Ampharos's Electric Discharge move, enhanced by the combination of its "Positive" and "Negative" abilities, are equally formidable.

With this combination of team compositions amplifying their power, these Electric-type moves become powerful enough to threaten Regice.

There was no other choice.

Regice had no choice but to abandon its pursuit of Thunder Beast, shifting its body to avoid the lightning strike, and then clenching its fist to unleash an Ice Fist, directly confronting the electric shock from the Ampharos.

ka ka ka-

The solid ice crystals shattered under the powerful and extremely hot discharge, but they managed to withstand the attack. Most importantly, the ice crystals from the Frozen Fist provided insulation, preventing the paralysis that the discharge might have caused.

Once paralyzed, even Regice becomes extremely passive.

call out--

Suddenly, a bright white beam of light struck from the distance, landing squarely on Regice while it was resisting the discharge.

Bang!

Regice retreated, leaving a white mark on Eevee's smooth, shiny prismatic ice crystal body.

Then, a seemingly eternal flash of bright white light appeared on her body, and she returned to normal.

The properties of the Pure Body were triggered, preventing the power reduction caused by the previous attack.

Looking in the direction of the attack.

It's a three-in-one magnetic cannon!

Steel-type moves are quite effective against Regice. If it weren't for the significant power difference between Magneton and Regice, the damage from this attack would likely have been considerable.

Furthermore, Steel-type moves are not affected by the boost from Electromagnetic Terrain.

However, the characteristics of Magneton were also revealed.

analyze!

Pokémon with the Analytical ability will have their moves more powerful if they attack last.

Regice suffered a minor setback in his first encounter with four opponents.

This shows that having a core lineup can indeed help one contend with mythical beasts.

If it weren't for the multiple buffs such as "Magnetic Field Control", "Electric Terrain", "Positive Electricity", and "Negative Electricity", Regice's special defense would not have made it necessary to worry about Zapdos's thunder and Ampharos's electric discharge. It could have easily taken the damage and defeated Electabuzz first.

However, due to the team composition and various buffs, Regice was unable and dared not to take damage head-on.

In the end, the Thunder Beast was fine, but it was the one that got hit by Magneton's Cannon.

"Regice!"

Regice was getting a little angry.

Ultimately, it is not Xia Yan's spirit; it still has a strong sense of its own.

Xia Yan gently patted its arm to comfort it.

Tom Ruch's choice to "attack where they must defend" was quite correct.

After the initial probing, both sides have gained a preliminary understanding of each other's strength and capabilities.

Tom Ruchi now seems to have reached true Elite Four level strength. He's still a bit behind Orange and Liu Bo, but if he can assemble a full team and become one of the Elite Four in a slightly weaker region, he should be qualified to compete for a spot.

It's not like I'd end up as a perpetual Elite Four candidate in the Kanto region, the birthplace of the alliance.

In fact, give her more time to grow and develop.

It's only a matter of time before they secure their positions among the Four Heavenly Kings.

However, she has already betrayed the alliance, and the Four Heavenly Kings will never have anything to do with her again.

However, if one can hold a pivotal position in the Hunter's Guild, or even become the Hunter's Guild Leader who has never existed before, it is no worse than becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and one will have access to even more resources.

Of course.

Now she still has to get past Xia Yan.

Because of Xia Yan, once he decided to tear off a few pieces of flesh, he was determined to tear off a few pieces!

He glanced at the empty space and nodded imperceptibly.

Doronbarut, time to load!

Chapter 191 Collecting Interest

Tomruch was quite satisfied with the outcome of this clash.

She had already begun conceiving and assembling such a lineup when she set her sights on Zapdos.

Although she had to replace some of her Pokémon, she successfully kept Ampharos, one of her main and even ace Pokémon, which saved her a lot of time and resources and preserved her fighting strength when changing her lineup.

This battle against Xia Yan was the first time she had used and tried it out.

Only when you fight against a truly strong opponent can you truly see the results.

As it stands, apart from the lack of a few Pokémon to complement the team, it's not bad.

The most crucial aspect of building a team is determining the core, establishing a foundation, and then pairing it with other spirits.

Once the direction is clear and the positioning is accurate, things become simple; it's just a matter of time.

“Old sir, your Regice is not weak, but it alone is probably no match for me,” Tom Ruchi said with no small amount of pride.

In her eyes, Xia Yan was a veteran trainer.

She would feel a great sense of accomplishment if she could defeat a trainer like that.

Because Regice had divided the battlefield, the melee in the hall had stopped, and everyone was watching this side.

The outcome of their battle will completely influence the result of this event.

Why didn't he summon other spirits?

"Could it be that there's only one elf?"

"The helper that 'Mr. A' found this time is really strong. He actually managed to gain the upper hand against the terrifying Reggie."

"Nonsense, that's Zapdos, a legendary Pokémon too. How could it be weaker than Regice?"

"..."

Seeing the result of their initial clash, the atmosphere among the Hunter's Guild members immediately eased considerably.

The pressure from Regice and Xia Yan was too great, making it hard for them to breathe. If it weren't for Kawai Mori staying, they probably would have scattered like birds long ago.

It's not just them.

The Snow Peak Temple side was also puzzled as to why this "fairy gentleman" did not summon any other spirits.

Based on Regice alone, it's going to be tough.

"Yu Yue." Old Man Long appeared beside Yu Yue without anyone noticing.

Yu Yue nodded silently.

The change in circumstances caught her somewhat off guard.

Everyone thought things were settled, but unexpectedly, Kawai Mori brought in such a helper.

She looked at Xia Yan with a slight worry.

It wasn't that she thought this "fairy gentleman" didn't have other fairies.

However, not everyone likes to bring all their main Pokémon with them. If you want to train second, third, or even lower-tier Pokémon, you will only bring one main Pokémon as a safety net, and then bring a few other Pokémon from other tiers to train.

She was afraid that this "fairy gentleman" might also be so "arrogant".

Just as Tomruch finished speaking, and everyone else showed different attitudes, Xia Yan's voice rang out again.

"Hehe—indeed, young people these days are getting more and more amazing. As people get older, they're almost out of touch with the world."

Xia Yan's nod of acknowledgment undoubtedly put even more pressure on Yu Yue and the people from the Snow Peak Temple.

If even this "fairy gentleman" is no match for him, then...

"Alright, although the time it's been resting is still a bit short, it should be enough. Otherwise, if word gets out that my old friends lost to a little girl, they'll laugh at me." Xia Yan shook his head, seemingly quite helpless.

However, his words made Tom Ruoqi's heart skip a beat.

Xia Yan slowly raised his hand and gently placed it in the void beside him.

His hand froze in mid-air.

It wasn't the kind of thing that hovered in mid-air on its own; it was clearly resting on something unseen.

Tom Rucky's pupils constricted upon seeing this.

what?

Elf?

She hadn't felt anything before!

"That is......"

Yu Yue's face was also full of surprise, but it was quickly replaced by joy.

All I saw was...

With a gentle push from Xia Yan's hand, a colossal creature slowly materialized.
