I caught a Pokémon

The same applies to bamboo orchids.

Although she had great confidence in her Pokémon, she still felt that the battle was somewhat out of her control in this situation, which she disliked and was not used to. Almost subconsciously, she couldn't help but glance at the man opposite her.

But to her surprise, Xia You seemed completely unfazed.

This also made her suspicious.

I have a feeling... compared to the trainers I usually see, this seems to be a different kind of oddball.

It's not very noticeable yet, so we need to observe it for a while longer.

Just as she focused her attention on Xia You, the two Pokémon's height decreased slightly.

This finally gave Zhu Lan the opportunity to participate in command.

Charizard had just flown high into the sky, followed closely by her Mega Garchomp. The two Pokémon fought for quite a while, but because they were too far apart, she couldn't intervene. Now that she was back in front of them, she finally felt like she had regained control.

That's right, this is how Pokémon should fight!

"Garuda, use Dragon Claw!"

Unlike everyone Xia You had dealt with before, Zhu Lan was a woman, but she was bold and meticulous. She was calm and composed, yet also offensive, like a spear with a shield, leaving no openings while actively seeking opportunities.

Her style directly influenced Garchomp.

This attack was initiated by Mega Garchomp. It made a turn in the air and pounced on Charizard. Without Xia You's command, Charizard took the initiative to fight and used 'Slash' to engage Mega Garchomp in battle.

Their figures briefly intersected in the air, then quickly exerted themselves before colliding again after circling once more.

Due to Mega Evolution, Mega Garchomp's body emitted a faint, peculiar glow, while Charizard's tail was also ablaze with flames.

This makes them look like two bright, fast-moving stars in the night sky, constantly separating and reuniting, dazzling to the eye.

However, its offensive did not achieve the progress that Zhulan desired.

Of course, this was not unexpected for Zhu Lan.

If this person were so easy to deal with, they wouldn't have Rayquaza and Deoxys!

But that's perfect!

The more difficult it is, the more interested Zhu Lan becomes!

It would be so boring if they were taken down in just a few moves!

Speaking of which, apart from Xia You's woman, even Xiao Zhi and the others, who are his friends, don't know the secrets, but in Zhu Lan's eyes, it's already an open secret.

For a moment, it was impossible to say who understood Xia You better.

While Zhu Lan was directing the attack, Xia You was also silently observing this Mega Garchomp.

He wasn't just watching the show; he was actively searching for the Pokémon's strengths and weaknesses.

It's only because of poor visibility that it's been delayed until now.

Overall, Cyndaquil's Garchomp is indeed quite well-rounded, with impeccable offensive, defensive, and combat awareness capabilities.

That's the speed...

Before evolving, Garchomp was faster than Charizard, but after Mega Evolution, its other abilities improved, but because its body became stronger, its speed actually decreased, causing it to lag slightly behind.

Although it's not very obvious, it's still there.

This gap is especially important in battles between such powerful Pokémon.

This also gave Xia You a chance to defeat this Mega Garchomp even without Mega Evolution.

"Charizard, use heat!"

At that very moment, Xia You spoke.

As Charizard carried out the command, Cynthia on the ground subconsciously glanced at Xia You.

After all, this man hadn't said a word for the previous few minutes, so why did he suddenly start talking now?

Could it be that some opportunity has been discovered?

Thinking of this, she quickly looked up at the sky.

Under Cynthia's watchful eye, Charizard first unleashed a scorching heat wave, forcing the Mega Garchomp back. Then, under the cover of the heat wave, it charged towards the latter. Just when Cynthia thought Charizard was going to engage the Mega Garchomp in a prolonged battle, it circled around to the side and launched another attack.

Garchomp avoided the hot air.

Even though it has a stronger physique, it dares not easily withstand such a heat wave.

Just as it dodged, Charizard followed closely behind.

However, just as it was about to change direction to meet the enemy, it found itself always half a step too slow, making its counterattack unable to keep up with Charizard's pace!

Chapter 1053 The Extreme Tug-of-War Between Men and Women

Cynthia knows all too well what aspects of her Garchomp have been enhanced and what weaknesses have emerged after evolving.

But in her opinion, compared to the significant improvement after super evolution, the slight disadvantage in speed is not a big deal.

This way of thinking is understandable, since compared to not evolving, this is the only way to better demonstrate one's strength and defeat the opponent more easily.

She hadn't forgotten that this man was not easy to deal with.

But unexpectedly, Xia You seized on this point and wouldn't let it go.

What keen observation skills!

It turns out that he had been keeping silent all this time because he was studying the characteristics of his Garchomp!

Everyone understands that although Pokémon of the same species may look similar, differences in personality, training methods, and even habits will ultimately lead to significant differences between these Pokémon.

This man was clearly researching his Garchomp's abilities!

Now it seems...

That's quite impressive!

No wonder they achieved such results!

Although one has to admit that this man is extraordinary.

but……

Don't think you can deal with yourself like this!

Cynthia's competitive spirit was ignited, and in an instant, Mega Garchomp sensed its trainer's emotions and its momentum surged, its potential suddenly erupting!

This change has put pressure on Charizard.

But it also ignited its fiery fighting spirit!

Why are Fire-type Pokémon so popular among trainers compared to other types?

How can a family consistently hold its position among the top three in most regions and become the leader of the top three?

It's because most Fire-type Pokémon have an indomitable personality and a competitive spirit!

Flames represent invasion and raging fire; as long as the flames remain strong, they will continue to fight!

Charizard, in particular, is the most typical example!

The stronger the opponent, the more fiercely their flames burn, and the more fiercely they burn, the stronger their power becomes!

As a result, while Mega Garchomp unleashed its potential, Charizard also ignited its fighting spirit. The two Pokémon continued to clash in the air, neither able to gain the upper hand, and it seemed that everything had returned to square one.

But this time, unlike before, Xia You was involved in the command.

It's hard to say whether his command is stronger or weaker than Cynthia's, as they each have their own strengths. However, Cynthia's command is definitely better than Charizard's instinctive fighting style, which means that with his addition, the pressure gradually shifted to Cynthia's side.

Zhu Lan probably didn't expect that her best efforts would only make the fight more and more difficult.

Whether from a ranged or melee perspective, the attacks launched by her and Mega Garchomp were always neutralized by Xia You and Charizard. Although Charizard also failed to inflict any effective damage on Garchomp, it was becoming increasingly difficult for it to cope.

The slight disadvantage in speed, in particular, became even more apparent at this moment.

Before anyone knew it, Zhu Lan's brows began to furrow.

Although the two sides seem evenly matched now, she has a vague feeling that if she doesn't do something soon, she might be the one to lose.

If that's really the case...

If he came to settle scores with Xia You in a huff, only to be defeated by him, that would truly be a joke.

With that thought in mind, Zhu Lan had already made up her mind.

"Garuda, use Meteor Shower!!"

what! ?

Upon hearing this order, Xia You frowned.

The command itself is not wrong. Just like the name of the move, once used, a meteor shower will fall from the sky and hit the opponent. Not only will it cause huge damage, but the irregularity of the meteors will also force the opponent's surroundings, thus limiting Charizard's movement speed.

That's how it should be.

but……

Xia You glanced at her and Zhu Lan's positions.

They weren't far apart, only about twenty steps. If they ran, they would arrive in just a few seconds. This allowed them to clearly see each other's expressions and hear each other's commands.

It's not a big deal, since the battlefield is in the air, and whether they are close or far apart doesn't have much of an impact.

But it was precisely at the location where this meteorite fell...

Cynthia, even though she's commanding Garchomp to fight Charizard, is her Meteor Shower aimed at her?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the attack only enveloped her, while she herself... remained outside the attack range?

Xia You glanced at the expressionless Zhu Lan, and hesitated, but could only regard it as a coincidence.

But what he didn't see was that the instant he looked away, Zhu Lan noticed his gaze disappear from her face, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Even if Xia You didn't say anything, she knew what this man was thinking.

Yes, I did it on purpose!

Zhu Lan wasn't a stingy person, but this little scheme made her feel a bit happier.

I wasn't manipulated by you the whole time!

At this moment, Xia You's attention was no longer on Zhu Lan.

He looked up at the sky and saw many stars-like flashes that had appeared out of nowhere, but his brow remained furrowed.

Whether Zhu Lan did it intentionally or not is another matter.

Now that the move has been made, you either accept it or avoid it.

Avoiding it would be fine; with Charizard's speed, it can easily leave before the meteor shower truly falls.

But what about myself below...?

Whether Charizard dodges or not, it will be affected by the meteor shower.

However, if she were to run away herself, whether Gardevoir used Teleport to help her leave gracefully or she fled hastily on foot, she would still be making an attempt to evade, which would inevitably make her look a little disheveled. This would create a stark contrast with the composed and unhurried Cynthia.

And this is probably the purpose of the bamboo orchid.

He just wanted to embarrass himself!

Hmph, woman, your little tricks are so childish.

But if you don't dodge, you're bound to be in mortal danger.

and many more?

Life-threatening?

Suddenly remembering something, Xia You narrowed her eyes.

Why don't we turn the tables on them?

With Gengar around anyway, Xia You didn't believe the meteor shower would kill him.

But Zhu Lan didn't know that!

Since that's the case, I might as well not dodge or avoid it, and just throw the problem back at Zhu Lan to see what she'll do!

Thinking of this, Xia You felt a little excited.
