Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 900, Dragon Might

The air around the battlefield seemed to freeze because of Dragonite's roar. The audience felt the dragon's might emanating from Dragonite, and their eyes were fixed on the battlefield.

"Roar!" The Dragonite's deep and powerful roar instantly broke the silence of the arena, and it launched itself forward like a cannonball ready to be fired.

The dust kicked up formed a small cloud of smoke behind Dragonite. The Scyther on the other side was still immersed in its dance moves, powerless against the impending attack and unable to interrupt its charge-up move.

Dragonite raised its huge, powerful claws quickly, its right fist already covered with a layer of crystal-clear, cold frost that shimmered white in the sunlight, and then it struck straight at Scyther.

"How is that possible? So fast?" The young man's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he was too shocked to speak for a moment.

He kept thinking to himself that even with the boost from the Extreme Speed ​​move, Dragonite should still be able to reach such an amazing speed.

"Hehe, have you forgotten something? In the magic space, the slower elves move first. This time it's our turn." Yu Hai crossed his arms, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Scyther's base speed is 105, Dragonite's base speed is 80, and Fatso's speed is relatively slow, so Fatso goes first. Plus, with Extreme Speed ​​as a priority move, how could it not be fast?

He stared intently at the arena and shouted at Dragonite, "Dragonite, alternate between Thunder Punch and Ice Punch..."

"Roar!" Dragonite let out another earth-shattering roar, and like an orange lightning bolt, it once again burst forth with divine speed to catch up.

The frost on its right fist grew thicker and thicker, its chill seemingly freezing the surrounding air, while bright and dazzling lightning crackled and danced on its left fist, the current leaping and flashing between its knuckles, making a "buzzing" sound.

Dragonite caught up with the still-dazed Scyther at incredible speed, unleashing a furious barrage of attacks from both sides.

Each punch brought with it a whooshing sound, and the impact of the punches on the Flying Mantis's body produced explosive "bang" sounds.

bang——

The Dragonite, which was frantically attacking the Scyther, was unaware that the Trick Space that originally enveloped the battlefield was actually like a fragile bubble.

Under Dragonite's relentless barrage of attacks, after a few punches, Trick Space shattered with a soft yet clearly audible "pop."

But Dragonite remained engrossed in its attack, showing no sign of stopping, and continued to launch swift and fierce attacks on the Scyther, which had no time to retaliate.

However, Scyther is a fragile Pokémon with only 70 HP. Under Dragonite's relentless barrage of attacks, it was already powerless to fight back.

Scyther's originally agile body could only struggle against Dragonite's attacks, and wounds gradually appeared on its body, with several cracks appearing on its green shell.

When Dragonite finally stopped, Scyther swayed a few times and then collapsed to the ground with a "thud."

It must be said that both Ice Punch, which Dragonite can counter twice, and Thunder Punch, which is also twice super effective, pose a great threat to Scyther.

The fact that the Scyther could withstand so many attacks under such fierce pressure is quite remarkable.

Actually, it's not fair to blame Scyther for being weak. It's just that the young trainer forgot about the crucial Trick Room he created during the intense battle, allowing Dragonite to use Extreme Speed ​​and Trick Room to gain the upper hand and put Scyther in a passive position.

"Scyther is unable to battle. Trainer, please recall Scyther and send out your next Pokémon to battle." The referee, dressed in a neat black referee uniform, held a small flag in his hand and watched the battle field intently.

Seeing the Scyther covered in wounds and lying unconscious on the ground, the referee waved his flag without hesitation and announced the result of the match in a loud voice.

"Damn it!" The young man bit his lower lip, his face filled with resentment and anger, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"The Scyther was defeated before it even had a chance to show its power. How could the difference in skill be so great?" the young man murmured, a hint of disbelief in his eyes. He then slowly reached out and put the Scyther back into its Poké Ball.

He looked up at the majestic Dragonite that had returned to Yu Hai, and thought to himself that this pseudo-legendary was truly powerful.

At this moment, sunlight shone on the battlefield, and the eyes of the surrounding spectators were all focused on Dragonite, with murmurs rising and falling as they discussed it.

The young man also knew that Dragonite could fly and had the Flying type, so if he sent out Exeggutor, which was weak to Flying, there would be no advantage.

After a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth. He had to defeat Dragonite in the air. His eyes shone with a do-or-die determination. He took out a Poké Ball and shouted, "Go, Pidgeot..."

"It's here! Just as many people guessed, the young player has chosen Pidgeot, which can fly, to fight Dragonite. Will there be an exciting aerial battle next?"

The host's voice echoed throughout the venue via the loudspeaker, intensifying the already tense atmosphere. The audience members whispered excitedly, their eyes filled with anticipation for the air battle.

"Dragonite, Dragon Claw! If he wants to fight in the air, then let him fight in the air!" Yu Hai crossed his arms, revealing a confident smile, his eyes filled with trust in Dragonite. He didn't believe that Dragonite couldn't beat a bird; otherwise, what would be the point of calling it a pseudo-legendary?

"Roar!" Dragonite raised its head and let out a deafening roar that echoed across the battlefield. From the roar, it was clear that it was much more confident than before.

Its hands quickly gathered energy, and the pale green energy gradually converged like flowing liquid, forming an energy dragon claw that emitted a green light. The green light flashed, containing endless dragon might.

Then, Dragonite launched itself into the air again, creating a strong gust of wind that made the flags around the field flutter.

Like an orange shooting star, it rushed swiftly towards Pidgeot in the air. With the aid of divine speed, its speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Pidgeot and fiercely slashed at it with its claw.

"Pidgeotto, Steelwing, take it down!" The young trainer roared the order with fury, his facial muscles trembling slightly with excitement.

stab-

In a single exchange, Dragonite's powerful claws clashed with Pidgeot's steel-hardened wings, producing a sharp, piercing sound and sparks flying like metal scraping against metal. Pidgeot's steel-hardened wings were instantly scratched by the claws, leaving several deep marks and causing some fine feathers to fall. Dragonite's energy claws merely dissipated slightly before quickly coalescing again.

Dragonite quickly turned around and continued its pursuit, its huge body nimbly flipping in the air, its eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.

Pidgeot could only flee in terror. Its steel wings had been injured in the collision, and it had personally experienced the huge difference in strength between the two sides. It was intimidated by Dragonite's claws and was already terrified. It frantically flapped its wings in the air, trying to escape Dragonite's pursuit.

During the chase, Dragonite discovered that Pidgeot, with its agile body and faster speed, was difficult to catch up with for a while.

Then, Dragonite let out a deep roar, its body flashing with light, and its Extreme Speed ​​move instantly switched to High Speed ​​Movement.

Next, Dragonite continued its rapid charge through the air, chasing after Pidgeot. The high-speed movement accelerated it once more, and it sped off like lightning towards Pidgeot, its pale green energy claws once again reaching for Pidgeot's back.

"Pidgeotto, get out of the way!" The young trainer below was extremely anxious, his forehead covered with large beads of sweat that slid down his cheeks.

His hands gripped the hem of his clothes tightly, completely at a loss. Seeing that Pidgeot was about to be caught, he couldn't bear to watch this scene and could only close his eyes, not daring to look at the miserable state that Pidgeot was about to face.

"Thorn-"

A sharp, piercing sound tore through the sky, as if to rip the tense aerial battle apart. Another fierce dragon claw descended, the Dragonite's powerful claws, imbued with immense energy, accurately gripping Pidgeot's wing.

The Pidgeot let out a painful cry, and several deep wounds instantly appeared on its wings, scattering feathers everywhere.

Pidgey struggled helplessly in the air. Its once steady circling body became shaky and precarious. Then, like a powerless airplane, it spun and plummeted straight to the ground.

The eagle plummeted at an incredible speed, creating a whooshing sound as it fell, before crashing heavily to the ground with a loud "boom," raising a cloud of dust. The bird with its broken wings could no longer fly; it lay on the ground, barely alive.

"Dragonite, give it the final blow, Dragon Pulse..." Yu Hai's eyes sharpened as he loudly gave the command to Dragonite. As long as the opponent doesn't give up, there's no victory.

"Roar!" Dragonite raised its head and let out a powerful roar that echoed in the arena, making the eardrums of the surrounding audience buzz. The little guy was becoming more and more confident.

It opened its enormous mouth, and brilliant dragon energy began to gather within it. The energy was like a rainbow in the sky, colorful yet containing destructive power, gradually converging into a dazzling energy ball that was about to erupt.

Just at this critical moment, a beam of red light suddenly flashed, and Pidgeot instantly disappeared from its original spot, only to be urgently recalled into its Poké Ball by the young trainer.

"Pidgeot concedes defeat." The young trainer's face darkened, his eyes filled with helplessness and disappointment. He knew that Pidgeot had no chance of winning and couldn't bear to see it suffer another fatal attack.

So he could only grit his teeth, take back Pidgeot, and admit defeat, thus eliminating Pidgeot.

At this point, only one Pokémon remained in his team: Exeggutor.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, Dragonite, Dragonite, Dragonite..."

A deafening roar erupted from the stands, like a surging tide, wave after wave. The cheers seemed to shake the entire arena, and the air was filled with a passionate and exciting atmosphere.

The audience waved their flags and signs excitedly, their faces beaming with excitement. They were all thrilled and exclaimed that the contestant was indeed a worthy contender for the championship, and that the competition was truly spectacular.

Moreover, who wouldn't love this adorable, chubby, and cute baby dragon spirit!
"Dragonite won! Dragonite defeated Pidgeot, defeating two opponents in a row. As expected of a Dragon-type Pokémon! The young contestant only has one Exeggutor left. Can it make a comeback? Everyone is watching with bated breath!"

The host's passionate voice rang out at the right moment, spreading throughout the stadium via broadcast, further igniting the enthusiastic atmosphere.

"Dragonite, this is the strength a pseudo-legendary should have." Yu Hai looked at the confident Dragonite and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

He raised his head slightly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up, his eyes full of doting and emotion. The baby dragon has finally grown up, he thought to himself. Sure enough, only battle and victory can make this once timid and cowardly Dragonite confident.

Having gone through this intense battle, the once cowardly Dragonite will surely bid farewell to its past as a timid dragon and, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, transform into a powerful Dragonite that is courageous, fearless, and unwavering.

Only a Dragonite of this caliber has enough strength and courage to challenge the Elite Four in one go.

At this moment, Dragonite is like a baby dragon that has just found its confidence, radiating high fighting spirit. It is no longer afraid of the crowd cheering for it, but instead looks forward to the next battle.

Yu Hai looked at Dragonite with a resolute glint in his eyes. Since Dragonite was now in high spirits, he did not intend to recall it, but to let it continue fighting.

Even if the final result might be failure, he wouldn't care. What he wanted was the courage of Dragonite to fight to the end, which is the quality a truly powerful Pokémon should have...

"Go, Exeggutor!" The young trainer gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging slightly, his eyes filled with a desperate determination. He only had one Pokémon left, and under considerable pressure, he finally threw out his last Poké Ball with all his might.

With a flash of red light, a robust Exeggutor appeared in the arena. This Exeggutor was somewhat clumsy, and its leaves trembled gently in the breeze, as if it also sensed the severity of the situation and a faint dragon's might.

The young trainer, ignoring the sweat on his brow, yelled at Exeggutor, "Exeggutor, use Hypnosis..."

"Dragonite, close your eyes, Hurricane..." Yu Hai crossed his arms, his expression calm and composed, his eyes revealing confidence and ease. The remaining Exeggutor posed no danger to Dragonite.

The prestige of a pseudo-legendary is no joke. A Dragonite that has fought two battles in a row is not even out of breath. It's a piece of cake for Exeggutor to bully it.

In fact, Yu Hai didn't need to say anything when faced with Exeggutor's hypnosis. The clever Dragonite had already noticed Exeggutor's strangeness. When it saw Exeggutor's eyes start to emit an eerie blue light, Dragonite reacted quickly and closed its eyes with a "whoosh".

In their previous training, they had undergone special training specifically for hypnosis.
