The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

After all, with information now completely transparent, Fang Yuan believed the battle was already over, and he calmly gave his orders.

[Gathering Qi: Concentrates energy, improves focus, and increases the chance of hitting vital points by 1]

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's command, Xiao Chun instantly guessed Fang Yuan's tactics.

Upon closer inspection, Xiaochun indeed saw a thin lens next to the Thorn Dragon King's eye.

This is the prop, the focusing lens.

[Focus Lens (Blue): Increases the Pokémon's observation skills, and increases the hit rate by 1]

This tactic is entirely based on the characteristics of the King Thorn, specifically the sniper role.

The Focusing Lens and Focusing Lens can increase Kingdra's critical hit rate by two levels.

At this point, the probability of King Thorn Dragon hitting a vital point will jump from 1 in 24 to 1 in 20!

Furthermore, the sniper trait increases damage against vital points.

It can even kill an opponent in one hit!

This is what is commonly referred to as the airflow gathering tactic.

However, because Xiaochun's Thorn Dragon King is not a sniper, she only knows the basic tactical idea of ​​this tactic and has not studied it in depth.

But Xiaochun knew she had to be extra careful in this battle.

------

At this time on the battlefield, because Kingdra had not undergone special intensive training, its energy gathering speed was relatively slow.

After King Spikes finally finished gathering its energy, the Sea Spikes was already about to engulf it with a giant wave, leaving King Spikes no room to escape.

The giant wave sent the King Thorn Dragon flying.

Even when hit directly by the opponent's surf, Kingdra acted as if nothing had happened, shaking its body and hopping back to its original position.

Seeing that King Thorn Dragon was almost unaffected, the onlookers exclaimed in shock.

"What's going on? Why does the Kingdra seem completely unharmed after being attacked?"

"Is this the strength of a gym leader?"

At this point, another person couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but curse.

"Are you stupid? Kingdra is a Water/Dragon Pokémon, and it has four times the resistance to Water-type attacks. It would be strange if it could cause serious damage."

"Oh right, I had completely forgotten about that."

But he still asked with some doubt.

"But if it's being resisted four times, why did Tsubaki still make Kingdra use Surf?"

"You must be a new fan, right? Don't worry, Xiaochun's purpose in using surfing isn't to cause any harm, but rather to change the environment?"

"Change the venue?"

Looking at the remaining water stains on the ground, Xiaochun said excitedly.

"It's time! Seadra! Use Dragon Dance!"

Upon hearing Xiaochun's command, the Seadra immediately began to perform a mysterious dance on the spot.

Moreover, because the ground was covered in water, the Sea Serpent's movement speed increased dramatically.

They moved rapidly through different puddles.

The reason why the Sea Turtle Dragon can move so fast is because it retains a pair of fin-like organs on its back, which helps it move quickly on land.

This organ was optimized after evolving into Kingdra.

This also makes Kingdra's movement speed on the ground slower than Seadra's.

"Evolution doesn't necessarily mean an advantage! As long as you can stack up Dragon Dance, one strike will defeat you!"

Looking at Tsubaki, whose fighting spirit was at its peak, and her words of overthrowing her superior.

This reminded Fang Yuan of Xiao Zhi.

In almost every generation, Ash and Pikachu have to endure Raichu's beating, and then oscillate wildly between evolving and not evolving.

But every time, Ash and Pikachu manage to defeat his evolved form Raichu by using Pikachu's form.

And today, Xiaochun clearly wants to do the same thing.

"Subordinates overthrowing superiors? The idea is good, but the reality is cruel; not everyone is like Xiao Zhi."

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Yuan spoke to the Thorn Dragon King.

"Dragon Star Cluster".

【Dragon Meteor Shower: Power 140, the most powerful Dragon-type move! Summons terrifying meteors to destroy all enemies. Special Attack is reduced by 2 stages after using the move.】

"He unleashed his ultimate move right from the start?!"

"After reducing its Special Attack by two levels, Kingdra's Special Attack damage is halved. If it misses even once, it's basically useless!"

Upon hearing that Fang Yuan had used the Dragon Star Cluster without any mercy, everyone stared in shock.

The man in yellow, who was acting as the referee, immediately fled after seeing Long Xingqun.

After all, Draco Meteor is a very rare, super-large-area attack in the entire Pokémon universe!

He's just here to work, not to risk his life!

The Spiked Dragon King raised its head, and a golden ball of light condensed within its body, the dazzling light almost overflowing from within!

Then the golden orb shot out from the mouth of the King of Thorns and exploded in mid-air!

In mid-air, countless fragments of rock, like a meteor shower, attacked everyone present with an aura of annihilation!

Because the area affected was so vast, even the trainers in the surrounding battlegrounds had to flee in panic.

"Hey! Trainer over there, can you practice your Draco Meteorites a bit more before battling?"

"This skill's range covers the entire battlefield!"

Fang Yuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

After all, Kingdra only learned Dragon Star in one night, and he really didn't have time to practice.

boom! boom! boom!

One after another, meteors crashed to the ground.

But at that moment, Xiaochun remained completely calm and said...

A green light barrier appeared, and no matter how fiercely the meteor shower bombarded it, the barrier remained standing!

Seeing Fang Yuan's carefully prepared Dragon Star Cluster crash into the defense, Xiao Chun's fans immediately cheered.

"Hooray! We won!"

"The match is over!"

It's no wonder they were so excited.

Because after using Draco Meteor, Kingdra's Special Attack will drop by two stages, and its Special Attack damage will be halved!

This is tantamount to crippling Kingdra!

But this powerful move, with its terrifying side effects, missed its target!

This thrilled them, and they could even picture Tsubaki winning.

Even Xiaochun thought so; she seemed to see victory beckoning to her!

Chapter 81 Defeating Kotsubaki, the underdog's attempt to overthrow his superior fails.

"I will be the one to win this battle!"

Just when Xiaochun thought she was going to win.

Fang Yuan remained completely calm.

It's like he doesn't care at all when the Dragon King's ultimate attack misses!

This made Xiaochun instinctively feel uneasy.

Xiaochun reached out and rubbed her shoulders, trying to comfort herself.

"Don't panic, Xiaochun. As long as you fight steadily, victory will surely be yours!"

Just as Xiaochun was comforting herself, Yulongdu, flying in mid-air, said with some disappointment and helplessness.

"Sigh! Little Chun really still needs more practice."

"You changed the battlefield yourself, but you didn't notice when your opponent changed theirs!"

As the smoke cleared, the devastated battlefield appeared before Xiao Chun and Fang Yuan.

Seadragon stood unharmed in the only intact spot on the battlefield.

"Now it's our turn to counterattack!"

"Sea Serpent Dragon, Iron...Head..."

Just after Xiaochun gave the order, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Looking at the battleground, riddled with holes and completely dry, Xiaochun finally understood what had happened.

"Oops! Oops!"

"Like me, his target isn't the Sea Dragon, but rather changing the terrain!"

After hearing Xiaochun's command, the Sea Dragon charged out once again.

But when the Seadra loses its smooth, wet battlefield, how much of its most prized speed will it retain?

As soon as the Seadra charged out, it was stopped in its tracks by the uneven battle arena.

What was originally a high-speed glide has now turned into a spring-like motion, bouncing on the ground.

"Dragon Wave!"

Seeing the Seadra struggling to advance on the ground, Fang Yuan unceremoniously ordered the King Thorn Dragon to launch a fierce attack!

Under Kingdra's control, Dragon Pulse instantly targeted the weak spot on Seadra's throat below its neck, where there were no dragon scales.

At this critical moment, the Seadra, relying on its rich combat experience, used a water gun in mid-air, using the reaction force to move its body slightly.

This prevented the Dragon's Pulse from hitting a vital point.

However, it could only barely avoid the vital points, and the Dragon Pulse still hit the Seadra's body!

The power of this Dragon Pulse wasn't particularly strong, but it still sent the Seadra flying a distance.

The Sea Dragon shook its head and struggled to its feet.

"Sea Serpent, watch out! The enemy's attack is coming again!"

Upon hearing Xiaochun's command, the Seadra raised its head and discovered that another Dragon Pulse was rushing towards its vulnerable throat!

The Seadra could only leap in a panicked direction to avoid the Dragon Pulse attack.

But just as the Seadra was flying into the air, this time Kingdra finally seized the opportunity.

A Dragon Pulse struck the Seadra's throat squarely!

Sniper specialization activated!

Damage dealt to vital points is increased by 2.25 times!

The power of this skill's bonus is increased by 1.5 times again!

Furthermore, when an attack hits a vital point, it will ignore the opponent's defense level increase and its own attack ability level decrease when calculating damage.

(This is a game setting, not a personal creation.)

The sea drake, struck in a vital spot, rolled several times on the ground before finally rolling to Tsubaki's feet.

The Seadra tried to struggle to its feet, but after being hit twice by Dragon Pulse, it was too weak to do so.

The sea dragon fell down, and its eyes turned into the shape of mosquito coils.

"Battle over! Seadra is unable to battle. The winner is Gym Leader Fang Yuan!"
