I caught a Pokémon

My gaze swept over the two Pokémon.

Xia You understood that Adam would definitely use his most prized Pokémon to deal with her.

Although I had never dealt with him before and didn't know his lineup, just looking at these two Pokémon that had already evolved to their final forms, I knew that their strength must be considerable!

So what should we use to deal with them?

Currently, aside from Gardevoir, Gengar, and a few legendary Pokémon, I have seven usable Pokémon: Dragonite, Tyranitar, Scizor, Eevee, MetalGreymon, Combusken, and Milotic.

This battle will feature five Pokémon, meaning that no matter what you choose, most of his Pokémon will be on the field. The challenge lies in deciding which Pokémon to send out in the first round.

It is foreseeable that the first battle will be very important. As long as the first round can be won, a certain advantage can be gained. For his not very strong lineup, this is undoubtedly a strategic point that he desperately needs to win.

only……

My Pokémon's stats are really worrying...

After a moment's thought and some deliberation, Xia You finally sent out Dragonite and Milotic, an air-water combination.

Unfortunately, the other Pokémon's types are quite disadvantageous, and they are all somewhat countered. Only Scizor is in a slightly better situation, but because it is in an underwater stadium, surrounded by deep pools of water, and Scizor's steel-like body is too heavy, if it unfortunately falls in, it simply cannot swim back up.

Of course, Eevee doesn't seem to be affected, but it simply can't fight effectively in such a watery arena...

Even so, Xia You was not too worried.

After all, he had done a lot of practice in battles with the opposite attribute before, just to deal with a situation like today!

When Adam finally saw Xia You's Pokémon, he was both surprised and disappointed.

Just as Rukia knew, Adam didn't actually know who Xia You was. After all, being on a deserted island, he only paid attention to things on the island or major events in the Hoenn region. As for news from other regions, although he could hear about them, it was impossible for him to know much about them.

Therefore, after seeing Xia You's two Pokémon, he really didn't understand why this man would still send out these two Pokémon after seeing his lineup!

First up is Dragonite. As a Dragon/Flying type Pokémon, it goes without saying that it is destined to be completely countered by Dewprich's Ice-type moves. Once it hits, it will inevitably cause huge damage!

Milotic, as a pure Water-type Pokémon, would have its attack damage halved when fighting against other Water-type Pokémon like Dewprich and Kingdra. So what's the point of all that fighting?

Most importantly, doesn't this man know that his ace Pokémon is also a Milotic?!

Having the same Pokémon as Milotic naturally gave him an excellent understanding of Milotic. He could even tell from its scales and expression that the Milotic in front of him had only recently evolved!

Using such a young Pokémon to challenge a gym is truly like throwing an egg against a rock!

In his eyes, Xia You's two Pokémon, if we disregard their strength and only consider their type advantage, would be described as terrible if he were to give them a score!

This also made him subconsciously look down on Xia You.

Is this just a pretty face with no substance, merely a pretty but empty shell?

It's understandable that he thought that way. If Ryukia had given him a slight reminder, or if Mikuri were still here, he certainly wouldn't have underestimated Xia You and would have been completely focused on the battle.

But one of them was being closely watched by Xiaoxia, and the other had already left. How could he possibly find out the news?

She simply thought that the man in front of her was just an ordinary one among the challengers.

But despite his disdain, he hadn't forgotten his original intention in sending his two Pokémon into battle.

Whether he's all show and no substance or not, he's learned his lesson today!

Dragonite soared through the air around the arena, while Milotic swam freely in the water.

After waiting a while, and seeing that both sides' Pokémon were all ready, the butler referee finally gave the order to start the match.

To Adam's surprise, just as he was about to observe, the man in the distance suddenly waved his hand and gave a command. In the next second, both Dragonite and Milotic used Tornado at the same time!

Instantly, two thick waterspouts shot up from the water's surface, heading straight for the ceiling!

Affected by these two forces, the water in the entire pool was violently shaken, splashing up layers of waves!

Chapter 691 Only in muddy waters can one fish.

The violently shaking waves quickly spread to the entire pool, directly affecting the Diantar Seal and Kingdra on the other side.

Not only was Kingdra unable to control its body in the water and drifting with the current, but even the Deino on the platform was constantly being washed by the splashing water.

Even though they are all Water-type Pokémon and their lives are inseparable from water, they still cannot maintain their balance in the face of such a large wave.

Seeing this, Xia You put both hands into her pockets.

There's a saying that goes, "You can only fish in troubled waters."

Since this battle is disadvantageous to both of my Pokémon, I might as well just flip the table and let no one have a good time!

It was a chaotic, disorganized battle!

Only in such a chaotic situation can one find an opportunity to win!

In any case, he was extremely experienced in this area, having fought countless battles, both against humans and Pokémon. Although Adam was much older than him, Xia You believed that Adam had very few experiences in this situation!

Sure enough, Adam frowned immediately upon seeing Xia You's order, which was harmful to both sides and had a significant impact on both.

No matter how elegant and composed he was in front of people, he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this scene.

What kind of tactic is this? Why is it playing by its own rules?

Would a normal trainer do something like this?

Can't we just have a proper fight anymore?

After all, in his eyes, a tornado is just a technique to attack an opponent, and it should never put both sides in danger like it is now!

That's so inelegant!

At this moment, the power of the two water tornadoes in the arena has reached its peak after rapid growth!

They rampaged through the pool, charging and crashing about haphazardly. With water splashing and swirling, they made no distinction between friend and foe; every Pokémon was within their reach!

The same move, the same tornado, and the same waterspout, but when put together, they create even greater destructive power.

The pool water cascaded down, and even though he was in the trainer command area, it quickly soaked through Adam's magnificent suit, just like his mood at that moment.

He glanced at his two Pokémon.

The pool used for battle is both large and small. In such a closed pool, it is already very difficult to maintain balance in the water, let alone attack their opponents.

This also caused all of Adam's plans and ideas before the battle to vanish like water droplets falling from the sky as the waterspout flowed upwards.

Truly, plans can't keep up with changes!

However, upon closer examination, from another perspective, this is indeed a good approach.

But if it were him, he wouldn't be able to make such a decision, which made him change his opinion of Xia You slightly once again.

Looking through the gap between the two waterspouts at the young man in the trainer command area on the other side, and seeing that he was not changing his expression and seemed to be enjoying it, he could only sigh: This is really an unpredictable man!

But despite his feelings, he knew that now was not the time to sit idly by and wait for death!

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered, "Emperor Seal, use Aurora Beam!!"

As an Ice-type move, Aurora Beam is a long-range attack that can deal considerable damage to Dragonite, as people know. However, Adam's target was not Xia You's two Pokémon, but the two water tornadoes!

With them blocking the way in the center of the field, not to mention fighting, even if you just stand still, you will be affected by them all the time. How can you fight freely?

Therefore, the most urgent task in getting the game back on track is to stop the two waterspouts as soon as possible and restore calm to the pool!

Aurora Beam can freeze the water surface and completely freeze water tornadoes, making it arguably the fastest, best, and simplest move among Deino's abilities.

Upon hearing the trainer's command, the Dianthus opened its mouth, and a beam of blue-green light shot out from its two long, sharp teeth, heading straight for the nearest waterspout.

The distance, which wasn't very long, was covered in the blink of an eye.

Just as Adam had predicted, after being hit by the laser beam, the water where the two met began to freeze over with a crackling sound, and it showed a strong tendency to spread to the entire waterspout!

It seems that given enough time, completely freezing this waterspout is not impossible!

But as the ice surface grew larger and success seemed imminent, before Adam could regain his composure, another waterspout happened to arrive nearby. With its force pulling and tugging, the seemingly thick ice surface shattered instantly, all crashing into the pool!

hateful……

Adam's smile froze instantly, and his eyebrows unconsciously twitched.

It's not that the method is not feasible, but the aurora beam was already barely enough to deal with one of the water tornadoes. If it were to face two at the same time, the ice-type power would obviously be far from sufficient.

However, this was not without effect. After being frozen for a moment, it was clear that the power and impact of the waterspout that had just been attacked had been significantly reduced!

This is good news; it at least shows that our efforts weren't completely in vain!

Just as Adam was about to repeat the same trick, before he could even give the order, the water next to the platform where the Dire Aegis was suddenly exploded. Xia You's Milotic emerged from the water, leaped high, and slammed into the Dire Aegis, knocking it into the water beside it!

That wasn't all. Almost simultaneously, Dragonite flapped its wings and used Dragon Rage from mid-air to attack Kingdra!

It turned out that while Adam was trying to stop the waterspout, Xia You was also busy, commanding Dragonite to launch an attack from the sky and Milotic from the bottom of the water, one above and one below.

Although the water tornadoes also caused a lot of trouble for his Pokémon, he was already used to fighting in such an environment, so whether or not there were water tornadoes was not important to him. It was just something he needed to be a little careful about. It wasn't like he hadn't encountered them before, and he was already used to it!

More importantly, Adam is clearly less suited to fighting in such an environment than himself, which can be seen from his eagerness to stop the water tornadoes rather than prioritizing attacks on his own Pokémon.

This inevitably distracted him, causing him to focus some of his attention on the waterspout. In addition, the pool water falling from the sky severely obstructed his view. He also had to command two Pokémon at the same time. With these factors at play, Xia You's attack was able to work so easily.

Pfft!

The two Pokémon tumbled into the pool, but once in the water, Delicious was far less agile than Milotic.

Entangled by Milotic, it was unable to surface, freeze the water tornadoes with Ice-type moves, or escape. It could only helplessly continue its underwater battle with Milotic.

This instantly cost it its advantage!

On the other hand, Kingdra, after diving underwater to avoid Dragonite's Dragon Rage, was intended by Adam to be sent deep underwater to rescue Dewprich, and then together they would defeat Milotic, thus changing the course of the game.

This is also the most correct choice in doubles.

However, the situation underwater is just as complicated as on the surface. Not to mention whether Diantar's speed can catch up with Milotic and form a pincer attack with Kingdra, the water is also turbulent due to the influence of the waterspout. If you are not careful, you may be sucked into the air by the waterspout!

Don't let their slightly sturdy appearance fool you, these two Pokémon are no match for a water tornado!

Moreover, doing so means that Dragonite will be left unguarded, completely handing over air superiority to that man, creating a situation where it can attack from above. When it resurfaces in the water, it will inevitably be attacked by Dragonite without restraint.

Most importantly, if Dragonite were to use the Water Tornado again after it disappears and maintain the current situation, that would be really bad!

After much deliberation, Adam finally made his choice.

In his opinion, since this man could handle such a arena and fight next to a water tornado, then he, as the water-type gym leader, could definitely do it too!

Since we decided to teach him a lesson at the beginning of the battle, we absolutely cannot back down now!

And most importantly, he didn't want to appear so pathetic in front of Ryukia!

Come on, little Ryukia, let me show you my elegant fighting skills!

Under his command, Kingdra did not dive into the water to help Dewprich, but instead used Water Cannon to retaliate against Dragonite.

A thick stream of water shot out from Kingdra's mouth, drawing an arc in the air along with Dragonite's flight path.

Xia You understood at a glance that Adam had chosen to confront him head-on!

Despite Kingdra's imposing presence, it's unrealistic to expect it to defeat Dragonite with such attacks.

After all, it has been with me for so long, fought countless battles, and even stepped onto the stage of the Silver Tournament. Dragonite's strength has long since grown to the same level as Charizard before it entered the Charizard Canyon. It has firmly secured its position as the top of the second tier and is also vaguely touching the threshold of the first-tier lineup.

While it can't yet compare to the overpowered Pokémon in my possession, like the Red Gyarados or the Crystal Steelix, it can still easily defeat most Gym Leaders' ace Pokémon. It's not something that just any Pokémon can defeat!

Similarly, Tyranitar and Scizor are currently at the same level, with their strengths being almost equal, and they are also the main force for my challenge of the Rainbow Conference!

If Adam really thought that he was at a disadvantage after sending out Dragonite, then he was really wrong!

Dragonite dodged and weaved in the air, quickly exhausting Kingdra's Hydro Pump energy. Before Kingdra could launch another attack, it turned and sped towards Kingdra!

"Dragonite, use Dragon Dive!"

As Xia You gave the order, Dragonite accelerated suddenly again. At the same time, its wings closed, and like an arrow released from a bow, it seemed to be covered with a layer of air waves as it crashed straight into Kingdra!

What a great speed!

Adam's eyes narrowed, and he was genuinely shocked by Dragonite's speed!

"Quick, get underwater!!"

Although he issued the order in time, it was clearly too late.

Dragonite is incredibly fast, just like its name suggests!

In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the King of Thorns like a whirlwind. Its flight was so skillful, and it was so close to the water's surface that even its protruding belly seemed to be completely pressed against the water's surface!

Caught off guard, Kingdra came to his senses to find himself right next to Dragonite, their faces almost touching!

It could even feel the Dragonite's scorching breath and the terrifyingly powerful energy emanating from its bald head!
