—Let him violently dismantle the Soul-Snatching Eye's defenses now!

"Soul-Snatching Eye! Smash it!" Facing Nidoking, Yang Xiying directly ordered him to smash its item; the Life Orb's boost was too great!

boom--! ! !

Nidoran stepped onto the floor covered in accumulated sand and dust, and the floor cracked in a fan shape toward Sableye. Then, orange energy rose from the ground!

The Soul-Hook Eye, engulfed by energy, lost nearly 55% of its blood, but at that moment it also disappeared.

Then Sableye appeared from Nidoking's shadow and slapped him, instantly taking away 35% of Nidoking's health!

In addition to the burns, his health dropped to 55%! And Soul Reaper also lost 1/16 of his health due to the sandstorm.

"Nidoking! Earth Power!" Giovanni frowned at this sight, then ordered it to launch a fierce attack!

This move will definitely take down Sableye. Of course, the opponent might switch Pokémon, but he still wants to use Earth Power to ensure the damage.

"Soul Hook Eye, come back!" Although the opponent no longer had the Life Orb, Yang Xiying was not going to fight it head-on this time, and directly switched to 3D Dragon 2!

Since this is a Ground-type gym, it's only natural that it should be used. The toy duck thus borne the power of the earth!

—My health bar is down by 30%!

"...!" Seeing the 3D Dragon 2 opposite him, Giovanni realized that the opponent's defense wouldn't be so easy to break through...

PS: Updated!

Badges NO.322 and NO.323 finally in hand, a reunion with my old flame...

"Nidoking! Earth Power!"

At the matchmaking event, he also witnessed that Porygon2 was a rather troublesome opponent, capable of using Ice Beam, which is super effective against Ground-type moves.

Therefore, he can't easily switch Pokémon now; he just wants to deal as much damage as possible!

"3D Porygon2, Regenerate!" Yang Xiying used Regenerate without hesitation, not afraid of Nidoking using Taunt or anything like that.

With the commands given, the two Pokémon began to unleash their moves, and Nidoking once again stomped its foot on the ground!

3D Dragon 2 was directly engulfed by energy, then lost 30% of its health. After that, it emitted an invisible wave, its injuries were healed, and its health bar returned to 85%.

Although its health dropped to 80% due to the sandstorm, Nidoking's health also dropped to 45% due to burns.

"Nidoking! Earth Power!"

Seeing the opponent's self-regenerating ability, Giovanni was also a little annoyed. Nidoking's output was simply not keeping up with the opponent's recovery speed.

However, Porygon2's attack power makes it difficult for him to switch Pokémon, so he can only continue to stall.

"3D Dragon 2, self-regeneration!" Yang Xiying continued self-regeneration after both sides gave the order.

Porygon 2 lost 3% of its health due to Nidoking, but thanks to its self-regeneration ability, it was fully restored, even after being attacked by a sandstorm.

However, 95% health is a very safe level, while Nidoking's current health has become extremely dangerous.

"Nidoking, the power of the earth!"

"Dragon 2, Ice Beam!"

Yang Xiying finally launched an attack, and Porygon2 took down Nidoking at the cost of 3% of its health.

"Hmph, I'll leave the rest to you," Giovanni thought, even though Nidoking had fallen.

—Because this way, we can openly use other Pokémon to target Porygon2!

Giovanni sent out an extremely thick and wide Pokémon, whose body shape resembled a bipedal monster from a tokusatsu drama, with a tail tip made of rock.

With its brownish-brown skin and orange-yellow carapace, this creature didn't lose much health even when attacked by the Invisible Rock.

"Super Iron-type Rhyperior..." Yang Xiying narrowed her eyes as she looked at the Pokémon. The opponent was planning to use this to deal with Porygon-2...

—Could it be that move?!

"Dragon 2! Teleport!"

Yang Xiying waved his hand and said that he would now swap Pokémon, and Porygon2's teleportation ability would allow him to swap without taking damage!

Furthermore, it allows you to see the opponent's setup, such as which strategy Giovanni's Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex is using...

"Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex! Horn Drill!"

At this moment, Sakaki also gave the order, and then the drill bit on top of the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex spun at high speed, and then expanded its area suddenly as it raised its head!

GIGA DRILL BREAK——! ! !

The massive Tyrannosaurus Rex, bearing a steel drill several times its own size, charged toward Porygon2, but it seemed unable to control it well.

As a result, the steel drill just missed 3D Dragon2, and 3D Dragon2 broke out in a cold sweat and then used teleportation to disappear into thin air.

Finally, the drill bit shrank back to its original size, and Yang Xiying also took out the giant vine to deal with this super iron tyrannosaurus!

"So it really is the Horn Drill Stomp Tactic?" Yang Xiying also spoke up at this moment. Yang Xiying had asked Giant Vine to use the stomp tactic before.

After all, it also has a bunch of moves with a low hit rate, and he also said that this battle tactic is more suitable for the ground-type Ironhide Tyrannosaurus.

Because it is a Ground type, Stomp has a STAB bonus, and its move with low accuracy has something called Horn Drill.

Like the Earth Shatter, it's a one-hit kill skill, so it's like forcing your opponent to choose between life and death.

Do you want to be instantly killed by a Horn Drill or take a 150-power STAB Flying Kick?

Then, Tyrannosaurus Rex also has the kind of durability that makes it difficult to be killed in one hit, and this is even more true for Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex after it evolves with a special item.

The Hard Rock property can reduce damage when subjected to highly effective attacks, and carrying an assault vest enhances defensive capabilities.

—Special protection measures can increase by 1.5 times during sandstorms.

Therefore, his family analyzed the characteristics of the 3D Porygon 2 and found that a single Ice Beam hit on it was like scratching a itch, and it would take at least five moves to finish it off.

Meanwhile, his opponent had already eliminated him. He had several chances to try and fail, but every time the horn drill hit him, he would collapse.

Although the hit rate was indeed low, it was like Mega Man encountering a spike trap for Yang Xiying—she had to be careful.

"So, no matter what tactics you use, they don't surprise you at all," Sakaki shook his head, his tone somewhat regretful.

"Come back! Mega Tyrannosaurus!" Faced with the giant vine, his Mega Tyrannosaurus's 150-power STAB High Jump Kick was not very effective.

—So I'll switch Pokémon first, and the sandstorm has stopped now!

"Giant Vine! Powerful Whip!"

After giving the giant vine instructions, Yang Xiying began to dance a strange dance, crossing his arms in front of him and then crossing them forward.

Then he clasped his hands together, and then opened them to make a gesture of praising the sun! This made Giovanni, who had just switched on the hippo beast, freeze.

He also saw it: golden light spots emerged from Yang Xiying's entire body and then gathered on the giant vine!

"A dazzling array of flowers blooms—!!!"

Yang Xiying used Z-Moves because she knew that Giovanni mostly used Ground-type Pokémon, which were mostly physical attackers.

Therefore, Yang Xiying did not equip Giant Vine with an assault vest, but instead used Grass Z! Because this would guarantee a kill on the opponent.

That's how it is now. The Grass-type physical attack with a power of 120 has been transformed into a power of 190 – Radiant Flower Blossom!

"Mora—" The giant vine's eyes also sharpened at this moment. It stomped its foot on the ground, and an invisible wave spread from its body!

Then a large number of flowers and plants sprang up from the ground and covered the entire field, covering the hippopotamus beast that the opponent had just stirred up!

Then, a large number of light spots gathered at the top of the flower and floated around the hippopotamus, followed by a violent explosion!

A mushroom cloud rose from the ground, with flames and smoke spreading in all directions. The shockwave swept across the entire stadium, even blowing away many chairs in the audience.

After the explosion subsided, the hippopotamus lay in the crater, its eyes burning like mosquito coils, and it lost its ability to fight.

“Z-Move… Haha, this is still an unexpected surprise…” Giovanni knew about this move, but he didn’t expect to see it in the Kanto region.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

Giovanni sent out a new Pokémon, Gliscor, which Yang Xiying had mentioned was her favorite Pokémon.

"Consider this Scorpion King my homework for you, Teacher Pigeon," Sakaki said with a slight smile, before giving out instructions!

"Sword Dance!"

"Giant vines! Parasitic seeds!"

Both sides issued their orders at the same time, and the first to make a move was naturally the Scorpion King, which circled in the sky for a while to increase its physical attack.

Without a word, the giant vine threw seeds onto it, but the Scorpion King was like a fish in water in this sandstorm!

—He dodged the parasitic seed directly!

“Sand Hidden Sword Dance Scorpion King, your assignment is a little off-topic,” Yang Xiying said with a subtle expression as she watched this scene.

Since the Scorpion King hasn't been poisoned yet, it's obvious it's not carrying the Poison Orb, and it just avoided the Parasitic Seed.

This Scorpion King is very likely to have the Sand Cloak ability, which greatly increases its evasion rate during sandstorms!

Yang Xiying had never introduced this way of playing Scorpio King.

"Haha, because using poison to treat Scorpion King would be too obvious," Sakaki said with a meaningful smile.

He had also studied Yang Xiying's giant vines; this thing was the biggest enemy of his lineup, and he had to find a way to deal with it.

The final solution was to have Scorpion King Nidoking Nidoking come later, and since it's a sandstorm now, we'll use Scorpion King.

"Giant Vine, switch hands!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiying also felt uneasy. If the Scorpion King didn't have the Sword Dance, he would dare to let the giant vine fight it.

Even though it has moves that counter the giant vine, it now discovers that the opponent's sword dance has two additional attacks and they don't even have a Poison Orb.

That giant vine can't stay any longer, and it seems he has to sacrifice a Pokémon to survive the tribulation!

Yang Xiying switched to 3D Dragon 2!

"Scorpion King! Acrobatics!" Giovanni gave the command at that moment, and then Scorpion King circled in the air for a while before diving down towards 3D Dragon 2!

A phantom image of a turquoise gem appeared above its head; this was the Flying Gem, which could increase the power of Flying-type moves!

If the target of its increased power is acrobatics, then the power will be even more terrifying, because after the Flying Gem takes effect once, the Pokémon will be in a state without the item!

—And Acrobatics is a move whose power is doubled when a Pokémon is not holding an item!

So, with only 60% health remaining, 3D Dragon 2 withstood the Scorpion King's swift dive and fell, resulting in Yang Xiying losing one of her key generals.

"She dodged it..." Giovanni raised an eyebrow as he watched Yang Xiying switch Pokémon. It was indeed not so easy to make the opponent fall for his trick.

"Slowpoke! Prepare for battle!" Yang Xiying finally sent out Slowpoke and then gave it the order.

"Slacking off!" He then gave him an instruction that sounded strange to others, but Sakaki could still figure out what the other person was doing.

Because the order he gave to Scorpio King this time was to knock it off, to directly knock off the prop helmet that the other side was carrying.

The Scorpion King lost 1/6 of its health, but that's not the main point. The main point is that the damage caused by the slam can be easily recovered by the opponent!

"Slacking off" is a recovery move similar to self-regeneration! It directly restores half of your maximum HP!

This way, the opponent can stall for time until the sandstorm stops... and then Scorpion King's Sand Cloak ability will be ineffective.

—The sandstorm is coming in one more round!

"Slacking off!" In the final round of the sandstorm, Yang Xiying continued to slack off, while Sakaki continued to launch attacks.

Even a sword dance without props isn't enough to bring Slowpoke's health back up to half; it's easily restored by a lazy player.

—The hippo still has 95% of its blood remaining!

"Slowpoke! Freeze Beam!" The moment the sandstorm stopped, on the day Yang Xiying launched his attack, he immediately gave Slowpoke the order to attack!

A single freezing beam of light would be enough to kill even a hundred thousand Scorpion Kings flying on the ground, but Giovanni managed to keep Scorpion Kings afloat.

Because Scorpion King had Feather Perch equipped, its HP was full, and it subsequently lost its flight attribute in that turn, causing its Ice Beam to deal only double damage.

However, it also caused Scorpion King to lose 65% of his health, so Giovanni now has no choice but to give up.

"Scorpion King, Acrobatics!" One Acrobatics move will weaken the opponent, and the rest can be left to the teammates to handle!

"Slowpoke! Ice Beam!"

The two sides clashed. Scorpion King used his last strength to reduce Slowpoke's health to more than half before being killed on the spot by the Frozen Beam.
