Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Then, Diantha showed a helpless expression. "Xia Yan, your Pokémon just evolved too, right?"

Too?

Xia Yan had a sudden thought.

"Is Miss Karuno's Goumi Dragon also like that?"

Diantha nodded, gently patted the slightly reserved Goodra on the back, and said with a complicated expression, "This child only evolved last night."

That explains why Diantha didn't send Goody out to fight before.

However, both are newly evolved Pokémon. Togekiss has already demonstrated its ability to adapt to different situations and battles, but Goodra is still an unknown.

Will the Dragon-type Goodra battle the Fairy-type Togekiss?

This could very well expose Togekiss's Fairy-type attribute.

Xia Yan hadn't thought about the issue of the fairy type being exposed.

The evolution of Togekiss has already caused quite a stir, and if the Fairy type is introduced at the same time, it is no exaggeration to say that the whole world will be in an uproar.

At that time, Xia Yan and Pokkis will become the center of the storm.

Although he also hoped to use the fame brought by this competition to increase the popularity of his dojo that he would open later.

However, the appearance of the fairy type has a huge impact.

This is especially true for trainers of Dragon-type Pokémon.

Of course, we don't count the guy who claims to be a Dragon-type Pokémon trainer but is actually a Flying-type Pokémon trainer.

But this will definitely have a huge impact on Dragon-type Pokémon and trainers who are passionate about them.

There's no guarantee that some extreme and powerful Dragon-type Pokémon trainers won't come looking for trouble with Xia Yan.

In simpler terms, Xia Yan is not yet capable of handling the impact of such a major event.

All things considered, Xia Yan is currently only a young trainer with some fame.

Moreover...

Xia Yan glanced at Karuno opposite him.

I've made up my mind.

He gave Tokkis a signal.

This was something they had discussed last night to avoid any issues related to fairies.

Pokkiss understood and gave Xia Yan a reassuring look.

"Let me see your full strength, Miss Karuno," Xia Yan said with a smile after receiving Togekiss's reply.

Karuno smiled too.

She could probably sense that this round was the end for her in this competition.

He only had one Goodra, which had recently evolved, while Xia Yan had three other Pokémon: an Alakazam that was not seriously injured, a Togekiss that was injured but still had fighting power, and a Pokémon that he had not yet sent out.

At this stage, the players are not necessarily all that close in skill, but they are at least roughly equal, making it virtually impossible for one player to sweep all three opponents.

However, Diantha didn't take these pursuits too seriously. She preferred being with the Pokémon, then acting in movies, and only then Pokémon battles.

After taking a deep breath, he said, "Okay!"

The battle continues.

This match had already garnered the most attention in the tournament due to Togekiss's infamous "ten-kill streak." Countless people outside the arena flocked to their TVs and computers to see if Togekiss's abilities were truly as "abnormal" as they claimed.

"Soul Dragon, 100,000 Volts!"

Karuno stopped thinking about it and focused on the battle.

"What?!"

Suddenly, golden currents burst forth from the body of the Golem, transforming into a beam of light that blasted towards Togekiss in the sky.

Goodra is a typical Pokémon with extremely high Special Defense, secondary Special Attack, and somewhat lacking Physical Attack.

For dealing with the Flying-type Togekiss, the Electric-type Thunderbolt is a decent choice.

Xia Yan thought that Diantha would let Goodra use a Dragon-type move to decide the outcome, but he didn't expect that the opening move would be "Thunderbolt".

However, this did not make him panic.

"Swift as lightning, get out of its way!"

"Chocolate!"

Togekiss let out a low shout, gently flapped its wings, and its body glowed with white light, instantly reaching its maximum speed.

To the naked eye, all that could be seen was a white light brushing against the "100,000 Volts" beam, skillfully dodging the attack while drawing a beautiful arc in the air as it hurtled towards Goodra.

They avoided it.

Not an "air slash"?

The audience was slightly disappointed, but they could understand Xia Yan's choice.

The "100,000 Volts" attack is very effective against Togekiss, and if you're unlucky, it can even paralyze it.

"Sticky Dragon, melt!"

Diantha suffered from a lack of understanding during Gardevoir's battle with Togekiss.

But she was, after all, Diantha, the future champion. A little information and data made her a little wary, so she was gambling that Xia Yan wouldn't dare let Togekiss take the damage of "Thunderbolt" to forcefully unleash "Air Slash".

After all, Togekiss had already suffered from Gardevoir's "Future Sight" once, and its condition was already poor. If it were to be hit by "Thunderbolt" once, as long as Goodra wasn't controlled, it could take down Togekiss in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, she made the right bet.

Goodra's already slippery liquid-like appearance began to collapse and melt rapidly, and its entire body became soft and limp, which greatly enhanced Goodra's resistance to physical attacks.

Bang! !

The white light quickly swept across the sticky dragon's body, knocking off some of the slime on its surface, but it did not cause much damage.

Togekiss is also a special attack type Pokémon, and Xia Yan has not yet explored its physical attack capabilities.

Moreover, Togekiss had only just learned both "Air Slash" and "Extreme Speed," and its proficiency was low, which is why it took ten "Air Slashes" to defeat Gardevoir.

Therefore, Niu Meilong's injuries were not serious.

"Air Slash".

But now, Togekiss is behind Goodra, and it's the perfect moment to attack.

"Sticky Dragon, electromagnetic wave."

Karuno has come to terms with it. It's just an "air slash," what's wrong with taking it once, as long as you dare to take this "electromagnetic wave."

This is Karuno's tactic.

By using moves like "Thunderbolt" and "Electromagnetic Wave" that Togekiss cannot withstand, Togekiss's "Air Slash" becomes ineffective.

Xia Yan's expression changed slightly.

Karuno's tactics, to put it nicely, are about trading injury for injury; to put it bluntly, isn't this just gambling with Xia Yan's luck?

The question is whether Togekiss, once in a "paralyzed" state, can use "Air Slash".

If Togekiss can keep Goodra under the "paralysis" status and use "Air Slash" to control it, then Diantha will accept it.

But with just one failure, Goomyon can take down a Togekiss that's in poor condition.

Xia Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately made Togekiss stop using "Air Slash".

This time.

Karuno is demonstrating to all the viewers how to deal with a still-developing "airplane".

If Togekiss's evolution time were a little longer—just two weeks—it could improve its move proficiency and wouldn't be so hindered in battles.

Clearly, Diantha exploited Togekiss's short evolution time.

But Togekiss's evolution time is short, while Diantha's Goodra's evolution time is long?

"Mysterious Guardian." Xia Yan changed his strategy.

"Chocolate!"

Togekiss's mysterious protection perfectly blocked Goodra's "electromagnetic waves".

Karuno smiled and said softly, "Grimm, Stand."

The viscous liquid on the Goodra's body writhed, and then formed an almost identical phantom in front of it, blocking the gap between Togekiss and its real body.

Xia Yan smacked his lips.

He was just thinking about whether he should go easy on him, so that a future Carlos regional champion wouldn't be "sweeped clean".

It turns out.

It's he who thinks too much.

It's not a question of whether he wants to concede or not; it's that even if he doesn't, Karuno seems to have already gained the upper hand.

That's true, he's a future champion after all.

It was already good enough that Xia Yan had gained an informational advantage once. Now that the information had been exposed, Karuno naturally made a simple, timely, and effective tactical adjustment based on her own abilities.

The appearance of this "stand-in" rendered Togekiss's abilities half useless.

However, this turning point came soon.

"Soul Dragon, Dragon Pulse!"

Seeing that Nume was temporarily safe, Karuno immediately turned around and launched an attack.

"A trick." While Kalino was giving instructions, Xia Yan also gave the order to Togekiss.

But as soon as he said that, he heard Diantha's command from the other side, and then looked at Togekis with some "worry".

"Chocolate!"

A cunning glint appeared in Togekiss's eyes as it used the "Naughty" move to greatly enhance its special attack.

then.
