I caught a Pokémon

"Since ranged attacks don't work, let's close the distance! Bangiras! Get closer to it!!"

The jasmine understood perfectly. Since the opponent's moves were strong and fast, in order to avoid being countered by the element again, she could only close the distance and bring the opponent into her attack range if she could interrupt the opponent's moves.

After all, it is well known that Pokémon without hands and claws are often at a disadvantage in close combat. As long as you are careful of their bites, charges, and tails, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Even if the other party is huge.

By leveraging one's own strengths, along with a bit of strategy and foresight, it's a very easy thing to do.

At least until she met Xia You, Yueju had always done it this way.

But it can only be said that he still lacks experience.

Cranberry is very young, only in his early twenties, yet he has already become one of the Elite Four. This shows that he is indeed very talented, good at training Pokémon, and very skilled at battling.

However, he doesn't have much experience, at least not compared to the Four Heavenly Kings who are in their thirties or older.

However, there are differences among the Four Heavenly Kings, and their skill levels vary considerably.

This also means that although they believe they have seen many great storms, in reality they have never really understood what it means to have a world beyond the world and a person beyond the people.

The Xia You standing in front of him now was clearly that person!

Tyranitar roared and charged toward the Crystal Steelix.

In order to engage the opponent quickly and avoid being attacked midway, the cranberry even made it use those protruding rocks as cover to carefully avoid the attacks that the crystal steel snake might launch.

From this perspective, he learned from his mistakes and adapted his tactics based on the opponent's strengths, truly deserving of the title of one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

But in the face of an absolute disparity in strength, everything is in vain.

Whether it's long-range combat or close-quarters fighting, Xia You has never been afraid of anyone.

Xia You knew what this person was up to the moment the Blueberry Tyranitar made that move.

But all I can say is that he underestimated himself.

So what if I don't have hands or feet?

"Steel Snake, let him see what we're made of!"

With Xia You's command, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, and to Yueju's surprise, the Crystal Steelix burrowed downwards with its massive head. In the blink of an eye, it created a hole in the ground at a speed far faster than any other Pokémon and disappeared inside!

The audience erupted in another uproar.

Some people were dumbfounded: "That's too fast! What kind of outrageous diving speed is that?!"

"That's right! I've watched so many competitions, and I've never seen a Pokémon dig holes this fast!!"

"My God, such a huge body, yet its agility is so incredible!!"

Even Cattleya and Blueberry stared wide-eyed at the incredible scene before them.

It can only be said that these people have never been to the Orange Islands.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of the area would know that there is a very powerful honorary trainer there who is skilled at digging tunnels at extremely high speeds, and Xia You's move was clearly learned from there.

This also proves that no matter how long you stay in one place, it's not as good as going out into the bustling world to broaden your horizons and promote growth.

Just like now, Xia You used this trick to quickly dig a hole, giving these United viewers a small shock.

Let's see how the Orange Islands play!

On the other side, seeing the Crystal Steel Serpent's body completely submerged in the ground, Cranberry, though initially surprised, quickly recovered.

This man actually used a drill!?

This is truly... digging their own grave!

As we all know, a Rock-type Pokémon of Tyranitar's size can use Stomp and Earthquake!

For a Pokémon that is underground, an earthquake can cause a lot of damage, and may even wipe it out!

Chapter 1462 Super Invincible Shining Crystal Gyro Ball

"Bangirass, use an earthquake!!"

Yueju gave the order in a stern voice, her tone carrying a sense of decisiveness and excitement at finally finding a weakness.

It seemed to him that Xia You was courting death, and that as long as he seized this opportunity, victory in the first battle would be within his grasp!

This isn't a difference in strength, but rather a matter of skill and technique counterplay!

Once the tremors begin, even if the Crystal Steelix has the toughest body and the highest defense, it will absolutely not be able to withstand the pressure and vibration damage from the earth. At that time, without it taking the initiative to attack, the opponent will be forced to show itself, or even be seriously injured and defeated!

Yueju snorted inwardly.

You asked for this!

But just a second before Bangalore lowered his body and prepared to stomp on the ground!

The entire rocky area suddenly trembled violently!

This was certainly not caused by the power of Tyranitar.

Instead, it was a powerful tremor from underground!

Boom—!!

In the next second, the seemingly hard ground, like soft soil, was instantly shattered and burst open, with rubble and soil flying into the sky. Then, a dazzling crystal light emerged from the ground diagonally below Tyranitar. As it crashed into the ground, the huge head, carrying terrifying power, lifted Tyranitar into the air!

Illuminated by the surrounding lights, the Crystal Steel Serpent's body reflected a soft, warm white light, and the soil that burst forth from the ground along with it also splashed high into the air.

Caught off guard, Bangiras didn't even have a moment to react.

Compared to other Pokémon, Tyranitar's somewhat bulky and large body was easily sent flying by this incredibly savage impact!

Clearly, its prized weight and sturdy armor are insignificant compared to Pokémon that are much larger.

"What!?"

Upon seeing this, Yueju's pupils shrank drastically, her face turned deathly pale, and she was utterly shocked.

His expression changed from disdain and sneer to what it is now in less than a second. Such a rapid change looked quite comical when captured on the big screen.

Yueju had considered several possibilities and was mentally prepared for a surprise attack, but he never expected that the Crystal Steel Serpent's underground speed and explosive power when it broke through the ground would be so ridiculously fast!

Even though he had only been underground for a few seconds, he instantly found himself under Tyranitar!

What kind of terrifying drilling speed is this?!

Even on the ground, the Crystal Steelix couldn't possibly be that fast, right?

For a moment, Yueju even suspected that there might be a passage that had been opened up under this arena, otherwise it would be hard to explain why the Crystal Steelix was so fast!

But regardless, what happened before our eyes still actually occurred.

Lingju felt nothing but extreme panic and astonishment.

Even the Four Heavenly Kings would find it impossible to remain calm in the face of such an unexpected attack!

But he quickly came to his senses.

Oh no...

Tyranitar is a large Rock-type Pokémon with no ability to fight in the air. It can't even balance itself. Being knocked into the air like this, not to mention the attacks it takes, just the heavy fall from the sky can cause it serious damage!

How to do this?

After calming down, Yueju quickly racked her brains for a solution, trying to find a relatively safe one.

But actually, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

How he should fall is no longer something he can decide.

Although thoughts were swirling in his mind, in reality, it was only a blink of an eye from the moment the Crystal Steelix emerged from the ground to the moment it lifted Tyranitar into the air.

After launching Tyranitar into the air, its serpentine body, immense strength, and internal magnetism allow it to instantly change its posture and launch its next attack.

The audience watched intently as the Crystal Steel Serpent suddenly spun around like a long top. Its massive body spun rapidly, transforming once again into a powerful crystal drill that pierced Tyranitar's body with unstoppable force, inflicting secondary damage!

With a muffled groan, Bangiras's body rose higher into the air, almost reaching the ceiling!

The entire audience fell silent, everyone staring intently at the scene, forgetting even to breathe, until after a long while someone finally exclaimed in surprise.

"It's a spinning top ball!!"

This exclamation finally brought the audience and the blueberry back to their senses.

As a Steel-type move, Gyro Ball is a common move used by many Pokémon, which is not surprising in itself. However, when a Pokémon like Steelix uses it, the momentum and commotion are quite significant.

Especially when it's so smooth.

Watching Tyranitar being sent flying even higher, Blueberry clenched her fist.

That was so unexpected.

He had to admit that although he had done some research before the war, he still underestimated the man.

I never expected his Pokémon to be so strong!

His Tyranitar hadn't even had a single proper attack throughout the entire fight, yet he was beaten to this state—something he'd never encountered before.

He never imagined that he would be beaten like this one day.

I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings!

But now was clearly not the time to think about that. Lingzhi reacted quickly, knowing that at such a height, Tyranitar would be seriously injured or even on the verge of death if it landed on the ground. He decisively took out a Poké Ball and swiftly recalled Tyranitar.

The audience erupted in cheers.

What shocked the audience was, of course, not the decisiveness of the lingonberry.

Instead, even a dignified Elite Four member was beaten so badly by Xia You that he was forced to change his Pokémon midway through the game.

That's incredible!

Who is bilberry?

He is one of the four strongest people in the Unova region, besides the champion!

Even his ace Pokémon was beaten so badly by Xia You, which shows that Xia You's strength can truly be described as terrifying!

Does it really mean that all beings are equal regardless of their social status?

People couldn't help but whisper among themselves. The original idea that Yueju would win or be able to fight Xia You to a standstill immediately shifted to Xia You's side.

Although Yueju didn't hear what the audience was talking about, she could guess pretty much what they were saying.

His heart sank as well, and he immediately raised Xia You's threat level to the highest level.

Even so, he suddenly felt a little uncertain.

After all, he really didn't know which Pokémon to use to face such an overpowered Steelix.

I have a feeling that no matter who we send in, we can't beat it.

This made Yueju feel uneasy, as if her gamble was slipping further and further away...

Chapter 1463 Rampage

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie calm.

The audience all looked at Yueju, eager to see what Pokémon he would use next to battle Xia You's incredible Crystal Steelix.

Of course, Yueju was also at a loss for what to do.

However, the more intense the situation, the more he needed to appear calm and nonchalant.

After thinking for a while, he took out a second Poké Ball.

"Go, Crow Chief!"

As he threw the Poké Ball, amidst a flash of blue light, a bird-like Pokémon, mostly black and blue in color, with what appeared to be a tall hat on its head, appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

As a medium-sized bird Pokémon, Murkrow evolves from Murkrow using a Dark Stone, and is also a Dark/Flying-type Pokémon.

This is a nocturnal Pokémon with a cold and ruthless personality. It only unleashes its full power at night. It is known for leading many Murkrows to gather in flocks. In the wild forests, as long as it crows once, a vast number of Murkrows will gather, creating a scene that seems to plunge the world into boundless darkness. Therefore, it is also known as the Night Summoner.

The purpose of sending out a Pokémon like the Cranberry is self-evident: to use its aerial advantage to eliminate the incredible burrowing speed of the Crystal Steelix.

This is a last resort.

As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, when he no longer chose to confront Xia You head-on, he had already signaled to the outside world that he wanted to avoid her sharp edge.
