Female Trainer's Flavor Tasting Guide

Perhaps because the range of the Gigantamax move is so large, it is difficult to completely block it with ordinary protective moves.

At this time, the role of the Gigantamax Barrier is reflected.

Only this kind of ultra-large-scale defensive method can perfectly prevent extremely powerful moves and avoid getting hurt.

Lurina now plans to first see the quality of Milotic through the Max-Gigantic Barrier, and then slowly deal with it after figuring out the opponent's strength.

However, compared to Lurina's stability, Peter was much more radical.

"Extremely huge? Ha, watch me hit it back with the Ultra-Giant Heavenly Punishment Thunder!"

"Go ahead, Blimwin, let's show that woman how powerful we are!"

Blimwin is a very slow Pokémon, the same type as Shadowmeld.

In order to ensure her right to use her moves, she usually has to use the magic space and play the heavy space system in the game battle.

Fortunately, Brimwin can also open space, so he can serve as both a space player and a space fighter at the same time.

But if she wants to increase her output, she has to bring a teammate who can open a spiritual field, and then she can use the output move with the highest gold content of super energy attributes, 'Wide Area Combat Power', to output.

In reality, although speed cannot completely determine who has the first move, since Milotic has already started, Peter can only find a way to make his moves arrive first when facing her.

Otherwise, it is very likely that he would be interrupted by the opponent's giant rock before he could even make a move.

Namenas raised his head and roared. The moment his tail fin struck the ground, a golden halo erupted like a solar corona. Lava-red light shone from beneath the cracked floorboards, and the entire arena seemed to float on a sea of ​​boiling magma.

Amidst the roar of crumbling rock, twelve pillars of magma and fire burst forth from the ground. Milotic's tail, entwined with the currents of water, traced a circular motion in the air, drawing the energy of the earth veins into a spiral force field, attempting to tear Blimwen and the Tortoise apart simultaneously.

Although this Milotic does not have its own trainer, the strength she displayed is no less powerful than those gym leaders' aces, and is even stronger.

However, Brimwen was not to be outdone. Her magic hat expanded into a pink thundercloud that covered the sky, and lightning vines woven from fairy energy emerged from the cloud.

At the end of each vine grows a crystal rose, and at the core of the flower constantly bursts out spherical lightning that is powerful enough to tear through space.

The entire skill release process was accompanied by the distorted melody of the music box, and even the audience outside the protective shield had auditory hallucinations.

There is no doubt that Peter has also trained this Blimwin very well.

Unfortunately, the moment the lightning came into contact with the collapsing earth, Blimwen was almost immediately at a disadvantage.

Although she used her own unique Gigantamax move, the "panel" of the Milotic facing her was much higher than hers, enough to create a powerful brick-flying effect.

However, considering that Peter is only a gym challenger and not a gym leader, his record can still be considered very impressive.

However, he himself seemed to be unable to accept this result, and kept repeating, "Why was he blocked?" "That's impossible, is Milotic really that brave?"

As for the Violent Turtle...

Because Lurina had asked it to use its Maximal Defense in advance, the exchange of moves between the two sides had no effect on it at all, and Lurina successfully obtained the data she wanted.

Yes, the opponent was stronger than she thought, and it was very likely that he was even stronger than her.

If you want to win, you have to make smarter choices.

For example...

Lurina's eyes fixed, and she made a decision immediately.

"Violent Turtle, use Mega Rock!"

Tortoise's exclusive Gigantamax move is of water attribute, and using it against Milotic, which also has water attribute, is obviously not a smart choice.

Moreover, the effect of adding invisible rock is not very meaningful at this time.

But this huge rock is completely different.

Although Milotic is not weak to Rock attributes and Dynamax can only deal double the damage, Dynamax has an additional effect that is extremely important for Rock attribute Pokémon - triggering a sandstorm.

The weather system is an extremely important part of Pokémon battles. Although sandstorms are not as invincible as rainy days and sunny days, they have been glorious in the past and naturally have their own advantages.

During a sandstorm, Rock-type Pokémon's Special Defense will be boosted.

In the game, this improvement is 1.5 times, while in real combat it is determined based on the specific situation.

For example, for a Pokémon like Tortoise, which already looks "hard", the improvement may be slightly more than 1.5 times.

It just so happens that Milotic is a Pokémon that mainly uses special attacks, so it is perfect to launch a sandstorm at this time.

In addition, during sandstorms, all Pokémon except Rock, Steel, and Ground-type Pokémon will continue to take damage from the sandstorm.

Therefore, whether it is Lurina who uses Tortoise as her trump card or Chibana who uses Dragonite as her trump card, they both like to create sandstorms - even though they are not Rock-type gym leaders.

At Lurina's command, Tortoise immediately opened its huge mouth and lifted a huge stone slab from the ground with extremely terrifying energy, and then smashed it directly at the snake-shaped Pokémon opposite.

Milotic didn't dodge, but continued to use its moves to fight against Tortoise like crazy.

In the end, both sides only fought a little bit and each suffered minor injuries.

"Did you start the sandstorm? Wise choice."

"But you don't have much time left, Lurina."

"Can you really...win?"

The man in the audience calmly analyzed the situation.

However, from his tone, it can be heard that he doesn't seem to have a good impression of Lurina.

As for Peter...

Although he performed well at the beginning, he was really defeated by the aftermath when Lurina and Milotic collided head-on.

Fortunately, neither Milotic nor Lurina cared about him, so he could continue to stay there and vent his anger.

Having successfully gained the advantage of the weather, Lurina continued to use various rock-type moves, trying to win as quickly as possible through saturation attacks.

However, her opponent, Milotic, is no pushover either.

After being injured, she obviously became much more violent.

It almost gave up all defense and just kept attacking, even risking serious injuries to hit Lurina with its tail.

In other words, the durability of the Gigantamax Pokémon is high enough, otherwise they would have both fallen to the ground and lost their combat ability.

After the battle lasted about five minutes, Lurina gradually began to feel something was wrong.

Why does the Milotic opposite her seem to have endless energy?

You should know that there is a time limit for maintaining Dynamax.

For example, in the game, Gigantamax can only last for three rounds.

After three rounds, the Pokémon will be forcibly transformed from its Gigantamax form back to its original form.

In reality, it is impossible to calculate the duration of Dynamaxing based on "rounds".

How long a Pokémon can maintain Dynamax depends purely on how powerful the Pokémon itself is and how much Dynamax Energy it has within it.

But no matter what, this gigantic energy is ultimately limited, and there is no such thing as an inexhaustible supply.

Even those as strong as Dantei and Chibana cannot keep their Pokémon in Gigantamax form forever.

This is probably one of the biggest flaws of Gigantamaxing.

But the one in front of Lurina is a little different...

This Milotic gave Lurina the feeling that it had inexhaustible energy and could continue to Gigantamax.

And this is definitely not good news for her.

Her Tortoiseshell is about to run out of energy and return to its original form. If that Milotic can continue to maintain its Gigantamax form, then this originally good situation will probably be reversed in an instant.

Pokémon in Gigantamax state are much stronger than normal Pokémon, and even with the help of sandstorm weather, the gap between the two sides is difficult to narrow.

What's more, Milotic can also use its water-attribute MAXIMUM move, 'Maximum Water Stream', to forcibly change the weather from a sandstorm back to rain...

On rainy days, the Vicious Turtle cannot enjoy the 1.5 times advantage of special defense.

Let's go for it! At times like this, we can only take a gamble.

Anyway, Milotic's condition is already very bad, so the probability of my success is not small.

In order to prevent any further complications, it is better to get rid of Milotic as soon as possible.

Thinking this, Lurina gave a very risky order the moment the Vicious Turtle began to shrink.

"Violent Turtle, use Shell Break! We need to finish this quickly!"

After receiving the order, the alligator snapping turtle turned into an ordinary alligator snapping turtle again. It looked at its master and then shattered its thick shell without hesitation.

Then its speed suddenly increased dramatically, and even afterimages were left when it moved, making it impossible to see its next move.

Shell Break is a powerful move that only Turtle-type Pokémon can learn.

This move will reduce the Pokémon's defense, but will significantly increase its speed and attack power.

In the game, going up two levels is equivalent to doubling those attributes...

This is extremely scary data.

Therefore, after Tortoise uses Shell Break, any move of Milotic can make Tortoise lose its combat effectiveness.

But if it is hit by the Vicious Turtle a few times, its fate will not be any better.

Moreover, since Tortoise's speed has increased significantly and its size is countless times smaller than that of Milotic, it will be much more difficult for Milotic to hit Tortoise than before.

This is also one of the advantages of the Vicious Turtle and Lurina.

"Ah, do I really need to use it at a time like this?"

When saying this, President Luo Zi's eyes widened a little, and there seemed to be some surprise in his words.

But if you only look at his expression, you can't tell what he thinks about Lurina's action.

Looking at the Menas side...

After the Tortoise shrank, Milotic became visibly excited.

It seemed to take this phenomenon as a sign of its victory, and swung its tail frantically, trying to flatten the annoying turtle as soon as possible.

And Lurina successfully seized this opportunity.

The moment Milotic tried to hit Squirtle with its tail, she suddenly ordered Squirtle to use a Stone Attack.

Moreover...she specifically set the starting point of this sharp stone attack right in front of the Vicious Turtle.

As long as Milotic swings its tail, it will be pierced directly by the protruding rocks.

According to Lurina's calculations, this move was enough to make the already wounded Milotic lose its ability to fight.

So this can be considered a killer move.

Even if Milotic had ten thousand lives, it couldn't withstand it!

Unfortunately, the development of the situation once again exceeded her expectations.

Milotic was indeed hit, but she did not really lose her combat effectiveness because of this move.

The durability of the Gigantamaxed Milotic was even higher than Lurina had imagined.

Although it is said that it cannot be supported, it can still be supported.

In a rage, the Milotic began to twist its body wildly.

It first swung its tail to send the Violent Turtle, whose defense was close to 0, flying away, turning it into a turtle with its mouth open and eyes closed.

The turtle was defeated, and its owner was naturally not much better off.

The mad Milotic no longer cared about anything else and flew over with its tail, ready to turn Lurina into Lurina-chan.

This is the consequence of misjudging the situation.

In many cases, a Pokémon trainer's judgment of the situation is more important than training the Pokémon and making the Pokémon itself stronger.

Lurina’s failure is the most typical example.

If she had been more cautious and continued to circle around Milotic, she might have won, but at most her victory would have been a little embarrassing.

But now...she has no chance to regret.

"don't want--"

Lurina screamed and tried to dodge, but how could her speed compare to that of a Gigantamax Pokémon?

It's not like she's some super-greenwasher who can dodge alpaca attacks.

So if nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid her life as a gym leader will soon come to an end.
