I caught a Pokémon

Asu hurriedly shouted, "Get rid of it!!!"

The Starhawk flapped its wings desperately, but Reeves held on tightly and it was unable to break free.

"Damn it!" Seeing how troublesome Jolteon was, Asu frowned and shouted, "Use brute force!"

As you can tell from the name, this is a Normal-type physical contact move. Since Jolteon is not immune to Normal-type moves, Xia You naturally wouldn't let it get attacked.

He whistled, and upon hearing the whistle, before the Starhawk could launch its attack, Reeve had already released its mouth and leaped backward to dodge the move.

The Starhawk's other wing missed its target; although it didn't hit Jolteon, it managed to break free.

Although Rayquaza left, its mouth was full of burnt bird feathers!

The Starhawk was panting heavily, its strength almost gone. It tried to lift the wing it had just used, but found that the spot where Jolteon had bitten it was covered in deep wounds!

Unable to bear the pain, it couldn't help but raise its head and let out a pitiful cry!

Seeing that Muke Eagle had been forced into this situation, Asu knew that he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and use his last resort.

"Starhawk, use Brave Bird Attack!"

Brave bird launches a fierce attack?

Xia You frowned. He knew that this was a Flying-type move, second only to the Divine Bird Strike in power, and that the damage it caused was equivalent to the Dragon's Eye. It could be considered the signature move of many Flying Pokémon.

It seems... Asu has reached a dead end, so he's going to make a desperate gamble!

Moreover, Xia You boldly guessed that Staraptor dared to use this move because it must have the Sacrifice ability, which could further enhance the power of the move!

Although using this move will cause some damage to himself, and even Starhawk himself will collapse from exhaustion after using Brave Bird, it seems that even if it means both sides are injured, Asodil will win this round!

Despite the excruciating pain, the Mk Eagle flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

A few bird feathers fell from the sky, and under the sunlight, the Muck Eagle appeared exceptionally tragic.

After circling a few more times, Starhawk folded its wings and plummeted downwards, charging precisely towards Reeves!

"Rayle, get out of the way!!"

Jolteon seemed to sense the approaching danger. It ran frantically, trying to shake off Staraptor before it landed, but the Brave Bird's attack was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it crashed into Jolteon!

boom!

This time, Jolteon was sent flying seven or eight meters away, but fortunately, due to its type, the damage was reduced by half, and although it was panting, it managed to stand up.

In contrast, the Mk Eagle was not so lucky.

Upon colliding with Reeves, it was also knocked unconscious by the reaction force!

Seeing that the Hawks were motionless, the referee reluctantly raised his hand.

"Starhawk is unable to fight, and Reeve wins the second match!"

Seeing that even the ace M'K Eagle had been defeated, Asu's apprentices all sighed softly, looking dejected.

Only Naz, leaning back slowly, gently clapped her hands.

As Asu looked at Xia You and recalled his Pokémon with the Poké Ball, he couldn't help but sigh.

"What a pity! It was just a little bit short. If we had worn down Jolteon's stamina a bit more earlier, we might have been able to trade one for one!"

Chapter 295 Pokejigu

Is it a pity?

Hearing what Asu said, Xia You shook her head and remained silent.

There are no "what ifs" in this world.

If Asu hadn't used a Flying-type Pokémon, allowing Staraptor to soar through the air while Jolteon couldn't attack it, he might have lost even faster!

After all, Jolteon has many Electro-type moves that it hasn't used. It can only be said that while Staraptor's Flying type puts it at a disadvantage, it also saves it from greater suffering in some ways!

However, it must be mentioned that, as expected of the Gym Leader's trump card, Staraptor's strength is indeed very strong to be able to fight like this!

At least they can now put up a 40/60 split against their second-tier team, but fortunately, they are still better than their opponents!

On the other side, after adjusting his state, Asu took out the last Poké Ball.

Xia You also focused her attention on the Poké Ball.

What could it be?

Unlike the easy wins he experienced when playing against weaker opponents, this high-intensity battle filled him with anticipation.

The answer was soon revealed.

Asu tossed the Poké Ball high into the air and shouted, "Come out, Togeknight!"

As the blue light flashed, a Pokémon, entirely white with red and blue triangular patterns on its body, appeared high in the sky.

It's Togekiss!?

Xia You remembered that Xiaoxia had a Togepi, and the evolved form of Togepi was this guy in front of her!

Togepi has a long neck and legs, and a pair of wings on its back. Overall, it feels more like a teenager than a Togepi that is still in its infancy and encased in an egg!

This kind of Pokémon is quite rare, and it requires a high level of affinity with its trainer to evolve. Surprisingly, Asu also has one.

Since it was the first time Xia You had seen it in person, she couldn't help but take out her Pokédex and point it at it.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Togekyou, the Pokémon of Happiness, Fairy/Flying type. There is no record of Togekyou ever being encountered in the wild. It is a Pokémon that brings good luck. When flying, it hardly needs to flap its wings to float steadily in the air. It is said that it flies around the world in search of kind-hearted people in order to distribute happiness. If it finds a person or Pokémon with a pure heart and a gentle personality, it will appear and scatter shining feathers called Happiness Powder, and share happiness with them."

After the initial amazement, Xia You kept thinking about who she should use to fight it.

The fact that Togekiku was able to appear after Starhawk clearly shows that Togekiku is stronger than Starhawk.

It's not easy to beat...

In terms of attributes, among his Pokémon, only Charizard and Gengar seem to have an advantage in terms of attributes. However, these two Pokémon are too strong, and Xia You does not want to use them in battle.

After thinking it over, Xia You decided to send out the Crystal Onix.

The reason for sending it out was due to several considerations.

First, the ground-based Crystal Onix, while unable to damage Flying-type Pokémon, has a Rock type that is doubly effective against Togepi, which can effectively compensate for this weakness.

Secondly, Xia You's top-tier Pokémon have gradually fallen behind the second-tier in strength. He must improve their strength as soon as possible to prevent a significant gap from forming between them.

Just like Jolteon, didn't it also gain some experience from that battle?

Having thought all this through, Xia You decisively recalled Jolteon and threw out her third Poké Ball.

"It's your turn to step up, Crystal Onix!!"

As the blue light flashed, a gigantic Pokémon landed heavily on the battlefield.

Boom!

The moment it landed, its enormous weight caused the entire building to tremble slightly.

Fortunately, the Kikyo Gym's unique design and sturdy structure easily withstood this force.

"Wow, what kind of giant rock snake is that!?"

"Is it a different color? But a different color isn't this, is it!?"

Upon seeing the unique Crystal Onix, Asu's apprentices could no longer help but whisper among themselves.

Even with their vast experience, they were still awestruck by the Crystal Onix's beautiful form!

Even Asu stared at the Crystal Onix for a long time, praising it: "What an amazing Pokémon! It's full of power and beauty, just like a finely crafted work of art!"

Xia You smiled slightly: "It's called Crystal Onix. I obtained it by chance. If there were no similar growing environment, I think there would only be one like it in this world."

"Crystal Onix? What a great name."

Fortunately, he only admired it briefly before Asu came to his senses.

When the referee announced the start of the match, he, who had already lost both games, once again took the initiative to attack.

"Tokiku, use Yawn!"

Xia You narrowed her eyes and ordered, "Get underground!"

A strange light enveloped the Crystal Onix, and the instant it arrived, the Crystal Onix dug a hole in the floor and burrowed underground at incredible speed.

After battling Yuji, the top trainer of the Orange League, Xia You was amazed by the speed at which his Onix could burrow, so he studied it carefully and learned many techniques.

After a period of training, his Crystal Onix's drilling speed has also improved to some extent. Although it is not as fast as Yuji's Onix, it is much faster than ordinary drilling.

However, Xia You was very apprehensive when using this move!

After all, this was a battle on the top floor, and he was afraid that if he accidentally drilled too deep, he might break through the entire floor!

If that were the case, it would be a huge loss!

Not only did his Pokémon fall out of the ring and be eliminated, but he also had to pay out of his own pocket to repair the damaged parts!

Fortunately, Asu dared to set up the battlefield here because he had made ample preparations. At least the floor slabs here are thick enough, and the thing that Xia You was worried about did not happen!

The light from a yawn swept across the cave entrance, but it did not have the intended effect.

For some reason, this scene reminded Asu of a falcon hunting a snake.

It seems that to get rid of this 'snake,' we must first lure it out of its hole!

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to ask Pokkigu to lower the altitude.

Sure enough, as soon as Togekiss approached the ground, the Crystal Onix leaped out of the cave and rammed into Togekiss with its sharp horn!

"Get out of the way!"

Pokkigu slightly shifted his body to the side, almost brushing past it, barely dodging the attack.

good chance!

Asu's eyes lit up; this was the moment he had been waiting for.

"Tokiku, use Magic Leaf!"

Chapter 296: Learn and Apply

Although Magic Leaf is a Grass-type move, it is used by many Psychic and Fairy-type Pokémon. Whether it's Gardevoir, Clefairy, Flabberee, or even Togekgyle right now, they all use this move.

Grass beats Ground, and Grass beats Rock. If Magic Leaf hits, it can deal four times the damage to Crystal Onix. This is a fairly common and effective way for Togekgeon to severely damage Crystal Onix!

Magic leaves formed around him and then shot towards the Crystal Onix.

What Asu didn't expect was that the Crystal Onix's burrowing speed was just too fast!

It had barely landed, and before the magic leaf had even flown halfway, the Crystal Onix had already dug another hole and burrowed underground again!

Puff puff!

The magic leaf almost grazed its tail before pinning it to the ground. When you looked again at the Crystal Onix, it was nowhere to be seen!

"What!?" Asu's expression changed drastically. "How can it dig so fast!?"

Seeing Asu's overreaction, Xia You couldn't help but smile slightly.

Hehe, the tricky problems I encountered back then, I now have to let others experience them too!

And you, kid, are the first victim!

In a way, he put his knowledge to practical use.

Back then, Yuuji used this trick to force him to use water to force Onix out. Now that there is no water source here, he wants to see how Aso will deal with this situation!

Togekiss circled the field in the air, trying to launch an attack, but apart from three craters and some freshly dug soil, there was no movement below, and the Crystal Onix was nowhere to be seen!

Just like his Pokémon, Asu frowned, deep in thought as he analyzed possible countermeasures.

This situation was completely unexpected!

This Crystal Onix digs at an absurdly fast speed, and the inability to hit its opponent leaves it with a frustrating feeling of being unable to use its strength!

Should we attack again?

But even if an attack is launched, the result will probably be the same as before, right?

It seems we need to lower the altitude a bit more!

He quickly weighed the options in his mind. Even though he knew that lowering the altitude further might make it impossible to avoid attacks from below, he had no choice but to do so in order to lure out the Crystal Onix again!
