I caught a Pokémon

However, he already knew about this information beforehand, so it didn't really matter whether he listened or not.

It was precisely because of his understanding that he was able to clearly know how powerful this Pokémon was.

It's really strong.

As a Pokémon with extremely high attack power, excellent defense, and great durability, don't be fooled by its lazy and nonchalant appearance. It actually possesses incredible speed, which is in no way inferior to that of faster opponents. It can deliver a surprise attack to careless or underestimated trainers!

The most crucial question then becomes: what can be used to combat it?

After mentally reviewing her lineup, Xia You first eliminated the weaker Pokémon and focused on the remaining few.

However, when we talk about the rest, it's really just Dragonite, Tyranitar, and Scizor.

Looking at it this way, I can only choose from these Pokémon for my third battle...

Slaking is one of Senri's signature Pokémon.

Even without Qianli's warning, Xia You knew it was difficult to deal with.

As a power-type Pokémon, engaging it in close combat seems unwise, but what about my three Pokémon...?

After thinking for a while, Xia You first ruled out Tyranitar.

Unfortunately, Tyranitar's Rock type gives it an advantage against Normal type Slaking, and since both are Power type, it seems like it can go toe-to-toe with Slaking.

But it's just too slow!

Fighting Slaking will definitely result in being kited to death. Even if you use Rock Block to try to stop Slaking's movement, as an gorilla-type Pokémon, climbing is obviously something it excels at, so it won't achieve the desired effect at all.

Ultimately, after a slight hesitation between Dragonite and Scizor, Xia You chose Scizor.

"The rest of the battle is up to you. Go, Scizor!"

In terms of type alone, Slaking's Normal-type moves cannot deal any effective damage to Steel-type Scizor. In addition, Slaking knows many Fighting-type moves, but these moves still have little effect on Bug-type Scizor.

This gives Scizor an early advantage.

Of course, the most important thing is its physical condition.

Although it is not as strong, fast and strong as Slaking, its steel-like body gives Scizor a strong ability to withstand blows and its attack power is also excellent. In addition, with a pair of small wings, although there is still a risk of being kited by Slaking, at least it is not without room for maneuver.

A flash of blue light appeared, and Scizor appeared in the arena, then walked to its position.

But just as it was about to take a good look at its opponent, it saw that Slaking was still lying there lazily, not moving at all, and only raised its eyes to glance at it!

That look made it seem like he didn't take me seriously at all!

If it were the strong chicken from before, it would probably be a bit angry by now.

But Scizor remained calm, simply assuming its stance, seemingly unconcerned about Slaking's disregard.

Judging from this performance alone, it has a really good mentality and doesn't get carried away, which is one of the advantages of most Bug-type Pokémon.

Cold and ruthless.

"The third battle at Petalburg Gym begins now!"

With the referee's whistle, Xia You's third battle officially began!

"Scizor, use the cross-shaped shears!"

At first, Xia You did not approach rashly, but instead launched a probing attack from a medium to long distance.

Upon hearing his command, Scizor slashed forward with its two bladed arms, one horizontal and one vertical, instantly unleashing a cross-shaped air blade that hurtled towards Slaking at incredible speed!

"Stop it."

Qianli remained unmoved. With a gentle command, the next second, Wang Qingjia simply stretched out his two hands and caught the cross-shaped scissors with his bare hands!

boom!boom!

The blade of the cross-cutting shears dissipated in Wang's heavy palm.

However, the damage was not entirely ineffective; it still left two red, swollen marks on its hands!

hurts a little.

Even though my hands were hard as steel, I still felt a little pain.

This also shows that the Pokémon in front of them is indeed extraordinary, forcing Slaking to stand up from the ground, eyes half-open, and enter battle mode.

From this attack, Qianli realized that the strength of this Scizor was completely different from that of the Mighty Chicken and MetalGreymon!

They have the strength to challenge major competitions and compete for the championship!

Thinking of this, he stopped hesitating and also issued the order to attack.

"Fake King, use your arm hammer!"

Slaking's right fist emitted a dazzling light. Suddenly, it exerted its strength, ran across the halfway point at an extremely fast speed, and then raised its fist high and smashed it hard against Scizor!

The scyther, seeing the menacing gorilla approaching, was equally fearless and raised its two bladed arms to meet it.

Clang!

The fist, as big as a clay pot, collided with the two knife-wielding arms.

With a buzzing sound like metal clashing, the scyther involuntarily took two steps back, feeling a slight numbness in its arm.

It has to be said that Slacker's power is truly terrifying!

With just one strike, the Scizor was already struggling to cope.

But that's about it.

The Scizor's high defense, combined with its own attribute advantages, prevented it from taking too much damage; it just had to catch its breath a couple more times.

Wang began pounding his chest repeatedly.

This is a precursor to its launch, and also a sign of its seriousness.

"Save King, use an earthquake!"

It's just a ground-based earthquake.

Although it's still a moveset that doesn't fit the Pokémon's type, Xia You is used to it. In fact, he would be a little surprised if this Slaking used other moves in a conventional way!

Wang jumped high into the air, landed heavily on the ground, and then began stomping his feet wildly.

As a result of this force, the entire battlefield began to shake!

The scyther standing in front of it was the first to feel this power, but Xia You remained completely calm.

"Scizor, jump up and use Slash!"

The mantis's small wings on its back came in handy at this moment.

Because of its excessive weight, the scythe has actually lost the ability to fly. However, it is not entirely useless. At least it still helps with jumping and gliding, allowing it to jump farther and even providing some relief when falling from a great height!

Amidst the violent shaking, the scythe leaped high into the air.

Once it reached mid-air, taking advantage of the brief moment of airtime, it raised its right arm high and slashed down fiercely at the King of Suffering!

Having witnessed its power before, Slave King dared not be careless.

Seeing that the earthquake had no effect on the scythe, it had no choice but to stop vibrating and instead turn its attack around.

The heavy hands were raised high, blocking the attack from the Scizor. However, just as it swung its arm to retaliate, the Scizor instantly split into several clones, making it unable to distinguish the real from the fake for a moment!

Looking at these clones, Senri couldn't offer any help either; everything depended on Slaking's intuition.

Looking at the shadow closest to him, Wang threw a punch, but instead of the expected impact, it passed right through it.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind, and a bladed arm slashed straight at its back.

However, the next second, Slaking didn't turn around, but its other hand quietly reached behind it and steadily blocked Scizor's sneak attack!

Seeing this, Xia You could only secretly admire the power of the "Fake King".

It is indeed very strong.

After battling for so long, neither of the two Pokémon has gained an advantage!

Moreover, compared to the usual fake kings, Qianli's fake king is extremely motivated, only being lazy for a short while before the competition started!

I really don't know how he cultivated them.

It seems that to defeat it, we must use power greater than its own.

After making up her mind, Xia You first pulled the Scizor back to her own half of the field, and then gave the command to use Swords Dance.

However, just as Scizor was activating its 'status' buff, Qianli suddenly laughed.

"Don't give it a chance! False King, use Destruction Ray!"

Before it could even react, as Slaking opened its mouth, a destructive energy beam erupted from it, shooting straight at Scizor.

Xia You hadn't expected that, besides the earthquake, the "Leave King" had this other trick up his sleeve.

At this moment, Scizor was only halfway there after using Swords Dance, and was in an awkward situation. It had no time to dodge and was hit by the destructive beam in an instant!

The immense energy instantly overwhelmed the scyther.

Seeing this, Xia You frowned, but there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately, Scizor wasn't seriously injured in the battle just now, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to survive this wave of attacks.

Chapter 677 This shouldn't be happening... (Please subscribe)

A few seconds after being sprayed, the beam of light that disrupted the beam disappeared.

As expected, the Scizor has actually survived this powerful energy until now!

Despite its seemingly scarred surface, its steel-like shell and remarkable perseverance withstood the onslaught of energy.

Xia You finally felt relieved.

"Very good, Scizor, use Quick Attack!"

The Scizor first exhaled a breath of black gas, then suddenly accelerated, charging towards Slaking at high speed!

Despite having just been attacked, Scizor managed to complete its Swords Dance!

With the aid of the sword dance, its two gleaming blade arms stabbed at the Slave King from two different angles!

Qianli naturally wouldn't let the mantis have its way.

He shouted loudly, "Stop it!"

Slaking once again swung its heavy hands, trying to stop Scizor, but Scizor used its old trick again, using Shadow Clone to confuse Slaking's judgment.

The fake king looked left and right, just like before, and still couldn't tell which one was the real one!

It roared and began to claw wildly with its two hands, seemingly trying to break all the shadows apart!

It was simply because the distance was too close that it didn't have time to process all the shadows at the same time.

The claws grabbed the two shadows in front of him and made them follow him. Just as he was about to turn around to deal with the other shadows, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back!

Turning my head, I saw the Scizor in the same spot and in the same pose as last time!

It guessed wrong again!

Unlike this time, with the help of Swords Dance, Scizor's attack finally worked!

That wasn't all. After its successful attack, Scizor used its combo attack again. In an instant, its two bladed arms became afterimages as it slashed at Slaking!

Wang cried out in pain and quickly dodged to the side.

Ok?

Qianli was quite surprised to see the king of leave react in this way.

After all, considering its defense, even if Scizor's attack power is greatly increased due to Swords Dance, it shouldn't be hurting this much.

unless……

Qianli quickly understood what was going on, looked up at Xia You, and blurted out, "Your giant scythe, its characteristic should be Insect Premonition, right?"

Xia You nodded: "That's right, it's the premonition of insects."

In fact, judging from the name alone, the characteristic of "Insect Premonition" is easy to mistake for a kind of perception ability.
