I caught a Pokémon

This also means that even the Elite Four members have realized that they can no longer defeat this Pokémon head-on in a direct confrontation.

This is a truth that everyone understands.

Even a child knows that Blueberry wants to try a different approach to win.

However, changing strategies does not guarantee that the desired results will be achieved.

The reason Crystal Steelix is ​​able to join Xia You's top-tier lineup is not because of its quick burrowing ability.

Drilling is just one of the abilities it has learned through constant battles. What it truly relies on is its immense strength and its massive, crystal-like, hard body.

Cranberry changed its strategy, using bird-type Pokémon to fight against Crystal Steelix, which did have some effect.

It must be admitted that his Pokémon strength is indeed very strong, and he truly possesses strength that matches that of the Elite Four.

But that still doesn't change anything.

This crow leader is very powerful, but in this battle, it encountered a Crystal Steelix that is even more powerful than itself.

As soon as the battle began, the leader of the crows displayed an extremely strong desire to attack, as well as highly professional combat skills.

It flapped its wings and soared high, pushing its speed to the limit, circling the massive body of the Crystal Steelix and launching a series of attacks, attempting to find and create an opening for the Crystal Steelix through this offensive.

Evil wave, surprise attack, sneak attack on vital points...

It unleashed a barrage of Dark-type moves, bombarding the Crystal Steelix relentlessly.

But when faced with such a physical attack, the Crystal Steelix used Harden to further enhance its already formidable defensive capabilities, making it even more terrifying!

Boom boom boom!

The attack struck the Crystal Steelix's even more radiant body, stirring up layers of smoke. But as the smoke slowly dissipated, the Crystal Steelix remained standing there, without even trembling.

At the same time, the Crystal Steelix began its counterattack.

It opened its huge beak and lunged at the crow's head, but the crow's head easily dodged the attack with such speed and force.

However, the leader of the crows also has to pay a price for dodging the attack.

The Crystal Steel Serpent, simply by standing upright, was already at the same flight height as Raven Head. Its bite, though just an ordinary attack, forced Raven Head to expend more energy to dodge because of its enormous head.

In the end, it seemed that neither side could gain the upper hand, and the two sides were evenly matched.

However, thanks to its thick skin and tough flesh, the Crystal Steel Serpent not only ignored the Raven Leader's attack, but its actions also came at almost no cost.

In contrast, the crow leader can dodge many times, but if it makes a mistake even once, it will suffer extremely serious consequences.

This naturally made the crow leader very cautious, and the blueberry was also terrified.

And by this point, the audience could see it clearly.

Everyone can see that this Raven Leader is no match for the Crystal Steel Serpent. The current stalemate is only based on the Raven Leader going all out. However, the Raven Leader cannot maintain this posture forever. There will always be times when it gets tired and relaxes. It can be said that when that time comes, unless there are unexpected events or other trump cards, defeat will naturally become an inevitable fact.

Blueberries naturally knew this as well.

Therefore, when forced into a corner, they had no choice but to resort to a desperate measure: a substitution.

Shifting Flowers and Grafting Trees: A Dark-attribute move that uses the opponent's power to attack; the higher the opponent's attack, the greater the damage.

Simply put, this technique involves letting the opponent attack you first, and then using that attack to reflect the attack back at you.

The greater the opponent's strength, the higher the damage will be when the rebound occurs, potentially even killing the opponent instantly.

In many situations, this is a very effective countermeasure for Dark-type Pokémon when facing Pokémon whose defenses are difficult to break through.

However, its drawbacks are also quite obvious.

Using this move will inevitably allow the opponent to attack first. If you can withstand the damage, that's fine, but if you can't...

Just like this.

After ordering the use of the "Transplant" technique, the Crow Leader deliberately flew close to the Crystal Steelix and used its Dark-type energy to defend against and transfer the upcoming damage.

However, the size difference between them is too great.

So large that when the Crystal Steelix opened its gaping maw and bent down, its enormous shadow completely enveloped the medium-sized bird Pokémon, and there was still plenty of room for it.

Blueberry suddenly realized this as well.

Or rather, in his haste, he was so anxious and eager to defeat the Crystal Steelix that he overlooked this crucial factor. Now, seeing the Crystal Steelix's massive head so close to the Raven Head, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Oh no! Crow Leader! Get out of the way!!"

But by then it was too late.

Despite the crow's attempts to escape the Crystal Steelix's attack range by flapping its wings, the Crystal Steelix abruptly shut its beak, swallowing the crow's entire body whole!

The audience erupted in uproar.

People who have watched the game for a long time have seen all kinds of situations, but what they saw before them still took them by surprise!

After all, in battles, especially in such formal battles, it's rare for a Pokémon to be swallowed by the opponent!

Chapter 1464 He's too bad

This time, there wasn't enough time for Cranberry to change her Pokémon.

However, his reaction was still very quick.

The fact that the crow leader had been swallowed was already established, and even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could change.

However, he also knew that this was also an opportunity.

After all, while the exterior of the Crystal Steelix is ​​hard, its interior is relatively fragile. If you can attack the Crystal Steelix from within its mouth, you'll definitely achieve better results!

With this in mind, and before the Crystal Steelix caused any further damage, he loudly gave the order: "Raven Leader, now's the time to counterattack!!"

The assessment of blueberries cannot be said to be problematic.

After all, this is the only thing he can do right now.

Moreover, since the Crow Leader just used the "Transplant" technique, as long as it is not defeated immediately, it can immediately return any damage it has suffered to the Crystal Steelix.

This is a great opportunity!

But this matter... must have a premise.

That means the leader of the crows must be able to withstand the damage before he has room to maneuver!

Being swallowed is definitely not a good experience.

For some Pokémon, this can even conjure up images of them being swallowed by their natural predators, leaving them with a deep psychological scar for life.

The Crow Leader was clearly one such example.

Being swallowed by a giant snake as a bird Pokémon would definitely trigger its genetic fears.

Especially after the Crystal Steelix's teeth got stuck firmly in its body!

As the Crystal Steel Serpent closed its mouth, Raven Head's body was continuously compressed until it was almost completely unable to move.

The physical pain and the immense panic in his mind almost instantly destroyed his psychological defenses.

Just then, the voice of the blueberry reached the ears of the Crystal Steel Serpent, through its body.

But it can no longer do anything.

With just a slight exertion of strength, the pressure on the body will become increasingly intense!

Off the field, in the trainer command area on the other side, a long time had passed since Yueju gave the order, but there was still no response. This puzzled him, and his mood plummeted.

The implications of this are self-evident.

Sure enough, the next second, as the Crystal Steel Serpent opened its mouth and spat out, its crow head, as if boneless, was spat limply onto the ground and rolled a few times.

The referee glanced at it once and then raised the colorful flag in his hand.

"The leader of the crows is incapacitated!"

The audience, regaining their senses, were left only with astonishment.

They had considered that the leader of the crows would be defeated, but they never expected it to be in such a humiliating way.

These are the Four Heavenly Kings!

No, let alone the Elite Four, even an ordinary trainer would be traumatized for a long time if defeated in this way, especially if they would feel uncomfortable whenever they thought of this scene.

Hearing the audience's murmurs, Yueju subconsciously clenched her fist.

As I said before, only by standing in front of Xia You can one truly appreciate just how powerful this man's Pokémon are.

After the two battles, it was clear that the strength and level of the Pokémon on both sides were not on the same level at all!

This is also the most surprising thing about blueberries.

Why do they have such different Pokémon even though they are not that much older?

Having experienced two battles and two crushing defeats, Yueju realized that he had underestimated this man. His confidence before the battle was shattered by these two slaps to the face of reality.

In that instant, he couldn't help but think about what the consequences would be if he failed.

Once a person loses their edge, their performance will only be worse than before.

After recalling the crow leader, Cranberry sent out a third Pokémon, Absol!

Those familiar with him know that this is Citrus's ace Pokémon.

Before Cinnamomum was famous, it had already been by his side for so long. It is undoubtedly the strongest Pokémon and one of his signature Pokémon!

It's clear that Cranberry sent this Pokémon out at this moment because she couldn't withstand the pressure and hoped to use its power to turn the tide.

However, it can only be said that even the Dark-type Elite Four member is indeed somewhat powerless against a Pokémon that has no type advantage and possesses extremely strong defense.

After all, it is well known that a large portion of Dark-type moves are physical moves.

In terms of attributes, Dark-type Pokémon are at a disadvantage when facing a Crystal Steelix, especially against such a powerful opponent.

Sure enough, once the battle began, despite the continued fierce attack by Yueju, Absol was put at a huge disadvantage after only a few rounds!

On rocky terrain, going head-to-head with a Crystal Steelix is ​​truly asking for trouble.

The Crystal Steel Serpent unleashed its power without restraint.

Even if it does nothing but charge around with brute force, Absol will have to avoid it and temporarily retreat from its sharp edge.

A bump will cause injury, a collision will lead to death!

The Dark-type Pokémon that Cranberry was once so proud of all seemed to have lost their effectiveness in this battle.

In the past, when people mentioned Dark-type Pokémon, the first thing that came to mind was their cunning, ruthlessness, and unpredictable Dark-type moves. But in this battle, none of that was there.

Faced with absolute power, any insidious and cunning tricks will vanish like bubbles and be easily punctured.

The blueberry had absolutely no way to deal with this crystal steel snake.

His strength was greatly limited, and he could only unleash less than 40% of it!

Now, he can only rely on his smaller, more agile Pokémon to maneuver and fight against Steelix, while also having to be wary of the latter's occasional attacks.

It can be said that this comeback battle, which he had pinned his hopes on, deviated uncontrollably from its course from the very beginning.

On the other hand, Xia You stood there leisurely, looking completely at ease, without even having the thought of giving orders.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

If Yueju hadn't been so confident, if he hadn't been so complacent before the challenge and had done his research on Xia You's lineup, he wouldn't have been in such a passive position.

But who can we blame for this?

Is it because he was too impatient?

Or is it because he underestimated Xia You?

Ultimately, it can only be blamed on his own lack of team depth. While the Pokémon he has are all above average, none of them are overpowered enough to crush other Pokémon of the same level.

In short, he's just too bad at the game.

Even the Four Heavenly Kings were no different from clay chickens and earthenware dogs in Xia You's eyes.

Chapter 1465 was only shown to the public once.

The bilberry Absol didn't last very long.

As the Crystal Steelix exerted its power, it was quickly defeated.
