I caught a Pokémon

Xia You glanced at it a few times and stroked her chin.

Actually, he didn't have much contact with Lapras, except when he saw Ash using it as a means of transportation in the Orange Islands!

All he knew was that Lapras was also a Water/Ice type Pokémon, no different from Dewprik, and was still countered by Jolteon!

Well, not bad, at least it can still maintain a certain advantage.

Seeing that both sides were ready, Uncle Liu, who was acting as the referee, waved his hand gently.

When the match began, but this time, before Reyb could make a move, Laplace made the first move!

It opened its mouth and used the Ice Beam. This move was very powerful, and Xia You did not intend to waste her energy fighting it head-on. She simply had Jolteon temporarily avoid its attack.

Upon hearing his command, Rayquaza jumped aside, dodging the powerful attack.

But just as it landed, another strange light flew towards it!

Rayquaza ducked, and the strange light almost grazed its tail. However, when it looked up again, it saw that Laplace had conjured another water gun!

The water gun sprayed from Laplace's mouth, swept across the middle of the field, and arrived in an instant.

Before Rayquaza could even catch its breath, it had no choice but to be hit and endure the attack.

Oh ho?!

Laplace is quite skilled at using this little combo!

After these three attacks, Xia You had figured it out!

If the Dewpriest was both defending and looking for an opportunity to counterattack, then this Lapras completely abandoned defense, took the initiative, and chose to directly attack Jolteon!

Although Liu Bo used the same type of Pokémon in both battles, his style was completely different. It seems that he changed his strategy because of his loss in the first round...

But that's all for now!

"Raybuzz, it's our turn to fight back!!"

Reeves shook its fur to get rid of the water, then stared sharply at Laplace and charged at it!

Facing the aggressive Jolteon, Laplace tried to repeat the same combo, but this time Jolteon was on guard and used High Speed ​​to dodge the attack while closing the distance between them!

"Now's the time! Taste our power! Lightning Flash!!"

Reibou accelerated again and rammed headfirst into Laplace!

This blow hit Laplace's head directly, nearly knocking him over!

Seeing that Rayquaza was already close, Liu Bo knew that what was coming was an electric shock like a thunderbolt, so he shouted loudly: "Use Absolute Zero!"

Xia You frowned.

Want to kill me with one blow?!

Don't even think about it!

"Rayle! Use Electromagnetic Wave!!"

Here, Laplace is channeling his energy, intending to use Absolute Zero, an ice-attribute move that can cause a fatal blow!

Its body was glowing, and energy was gathering into its mouth at a visible speed. It looked like absolute zero was about to be formed. But at the critical moment, Rayquaza suddenly emitted a weak electric current that struck its body!

It's an electromagnetic wave!

"Oops!"

Looking at the faint and seemingly harmless current, Uncle Liu knew something was wrong!

It's important to know that while electromagnetic waves don't cause any damage, they can paralyze the target, thus interrupting the release of Absolute Zero!

Laplace's body suddenly shuddered, and the next second, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body, and the absolute zero that was about to be prepared also dissipated!

All our efforts have been in vain!

Seeing this, Uncle Liu knew that there was no way to turn the tide.

As expected, Jolteon's attack did not end. Just like when it dealt with Dewprich, it used Thunder Fang, then Double Kick, and finally Electric Shock. This same combo defeated Lapras!

Uncle Liu sighed softly.

It has to be said that this young man is really amazing. No wonder he won the Quartz Conference and received praise from Blaine!

"I lost the second battle again."

Seeing that Laplace had been defeated, Xia You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, that was close!

If Laplace had used Absolute Zero just now, the game would have been completely turned around!

Fortunately, we managed to win the game in the end, albeit with some close calls!

Seeing that Liu Bo had recalled Lapras and was about to take out his third Pokémon, Xia You also called Jolteon back.

Although it wasn't injured in the two matches, it was severely exhausted. If it continued to fight, it might be knocked down. It's better to let it rest for a while.

Moreover, Pokémon battles are not just about strength, but also about interpersonal relationships and social skills.

Although Uncle Liu looked calm at the moment, he was already so old. If he were to be defeated by me in a row, I would definitely lose face. If he couldn't think straight and got angry, I would have to take a lot of responsibility!

Besides, no matter what, he knew Xia Bo, so he had to give him some face!

On the other side, seeing Xia You grinning foolishly at him, Uncle Liu felt utterly bewildered.

Fortunately, we didn't know what Xia You was thinking, otherwise we would have been so angry that we would have gotten sick!

Although he is old, he has a wealth of experience. It was just a dojo battle. How could he be affected by such a trivial matter?

Fortunately, he didn't think too much about it and released his last Pokémon.

"Come forth, Blizzard King!"

As the blue light flashed, a huge Pokémon appeared in the arena with a loud boom!

Blizzard King?

Looking at this Pokémon that stood on two legs, its entire body covered in white, with green hands and feet, resembling a giant Yeti, Xia You couldn't help but take a few more glances.

This was the first time he had ever seen this Pokémon in person, and he found it very novel. Ignoring the fact that Uncle Liu was watching him, he took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the Pokémon.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Ding, Abomasnow, the Ice-type Pokémon, Grass/Ice. Abomasnow is also known as the Snow Monster. It doesn't like to interact with the outside world and lives quietly in the snow-covered mountains. It usually only enjoys the white snow. It is a strongman that can easily split even giant rocks. Whenever it shakes its huge body, it will cause a blizzard, turning the surroundings into a white world. It is said that it will appear from somewhere when the snowflakes are in full bloom and hide its figure again when the snowflakes fall."

Chapter 334 Battle in the White Mist

As a Pokémon that lives deep in the snowy mountains, Abomasnow's habitat is widely distributed, but it is almost nowhere to be found in the Johto region, making it a very rare existence there. It seems that Pluton must have traveled to other regions to train when he was young.

"Roar!"

When the Blizzard King appeared, he had barely landed when he pounded his chest with both hands and roared at Xia You!

In fact, you can tell from its name and physique that it is a Pokémon with a rather fierce temperament. Its deep voice is extremely penetrating. Even from a distance, Xia You could feel the aura of a blizzard blowing on him!

Yo?

You dare to provoke me?!

As expected of the ace Pokémon that appeared last, its presence alone shows a significant difference from the previous Dewprix and Lapras!

But... no matter how fierce you are, can you be fiercer than my Gyarados?

With Gyarados by his side and constantly feeling its oppressive aura, Xia You was naturally not intimidated by Abomasnow. In fact, even though Abomasnow was glaring at him with red eyes, Xia You's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he found it somewhat...憨厚可爱 (endearingly simple-minded)!

He smiled and shook his head, refocusing his thoughts on the battle itself.

So, which Pokémon should you use to battle it?

After deliberating among his Pokémon for a while, Xia You finally sent out Gardevoir.

Originally, Xia You could have directly sent out Charizard, which, with its four-fold super weakness, would have easily burned Abomasnow to death and secured victory. However, just as he had thought, to save face for Liu Bo, he chose Gardevoir, which had no super weakness to Abomasnow.

Once both Pokémon are ready, the battle officially begins!

Abomasnow first used Blizzard to blow Gardevoir towards it. While Gardevoir dodged, Abomasnow began to run towards it. When it got close enough, it suddenly leaped and jumped directly in front of Gardevoir!

"Use teleportation!"

Xia You remained calm and had Gardevoir teleport to another location. However, Abomasnow roared and rushed over as soon as it saw its opponent disappear and then reappear in the distance.

Although it looks big and clumsy, it is actually extremely agile, especially on ice, where it can even glide forward on its feet like ice skating!

And this also gives it extremely high speed on the ice!

Gardevoir stretched out its hands, trying to stop it with its psychic powers, but before it could activate its psychic powers, Abomasnow produced a snowball from somewhere and threw it at Gardevoir!

call!

Gardevoir tilted its head, dodging the giant snowball and avoiding being hit on the head, but its spellcasting was interrupted. When it looked at Abomasnow again, it found that Abomasnow was already standing in front of it!

Wow, that was fast! And that was a very accurate on-the-spot reaction!

Xia You couldn't help but glance at Uncle Liu in the distance.

Blizzard King's adaptability shows that he has trained him quite well!

But... since we can't shake them off, we'll just have to fight them head-on!

At this moment, Abomasnow King's two enormous fists began to emit visible cold air. The next second, it swung its fists and struck Gardevoir with great force and power, looking extremely imposing!

It's an Ice Fist!

Gardevoir quickly sidestepped, retreated, and sidestepped again, seemingly dodging with an elegant posture, but in reality, she barely managed to dodge each time!

"Use Shadow Clone!"

Upon hearing Xia You's command, Gardevoir split into four clones, and together with its original body, five Gardevoirs appeared before Abomasnow.

As a Pokémon that isn't particularly intelligent, Abomasnow stopped in its tracks upon seeing so many Gardevoirs, clearly perplexed and unsure which one to attack!

Just then, Uncle Liu crossed his arms and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Attack the one on the far left!"

It has to be said, experience truly matters!

With his extensive experience, Uncle Liu has already discerned which one is the real one through careful observation!

After receiving instructions from Liu Bo, Blizzard King did not hesitate and pounced on it!

Having its exact location discovered, Gardevoir used Teleport again to create distance between itself and Abomasnow. Fortunately, Xia You's purpose was merely to confuse it and buy Gardevoir some time, so it had no real impact.

"Use the illusion ray!"

This time, before Abomasnow could get any closer, Gardevoir took the initiative and unleashed Psychic Beam, which struck Abomasnow squarely!

The Blizzard King was bewildered by the illusionary beams, his eyes turned even redder, and he instantly descended into chaos, smashing everything around him like a madman, seemingly blinded by rage!

"Very good!" Xia You said calmly, "Continue using mental power!"

Gardevoir focused its psychic power and struck Abomasnow. The powerful force caused Abomasnow's massive body to sway before it collapsed with a thud.

Although it was attacked, the Blizzard King was tough and seemed to be unharmed. In fact, after the chaos subsided, it got back up.

It's incredibly resilient!

Perhaps fearing that Xia You would continue using the illusion ray, Uncle Liu shouted, "Use the white mist!"

With a roar from the Blizzard King, a large cloud of white mist formed instantly and covered most of the area at an extremely fast speed!

In an instant, the entire arena turned white, severely affecting Gardevoir's vision, but Abomasnow seemed unaffected and charged towards Gardevoir!

Boom boom boom!

The sound of footsteps grew louder as they approached.

Gardevoir looked left and right, knowing that Abomasnow was approaching, but it couldn't see its location and could only determine Abomasnow's direction by sound.

Although the visibility was extremely low, Xia You, standing in the trainer command area, could still act as its eyes!

Outside the battlefield, Xia You, as an observer, could vaguely see a huge white-green shadow rampaging through the white mist. Meanwhile, Gardevoir, through telepathy, could sense the approaching danger even though it couldn't see anything!

Boom boom boom!

When Abomasnow rushed up to Gardevoir and rammed into it with its massive body, it was surprised to find that Gardevoir, which should have been standing still, had teleported away again without any sight of it!

It sniffed the air, then suddenly turned around and saw Gardevoir standing behind it, pushing forward with both hands and sending a burst of energy toward it!

Awooo!

On the other side, although Liu Bo could also see the blurry figure of the Blizzard King, he could not grasp the specific situation in the white mist like Xia You did.
