Pokémon: Master System.

At this stage of the match, Doronchi has gained an absolute advantage.

If it can stall for a little longer, it can use Spirit Sneak Attack again, followed by Guard, and then another Spirit Sneak Attack. It can slowly wear down the Lizard King.

Just as Xia Yu was judging the outcome of the match in his mind, a dazzling white light suddenly emanated from Duolongqi's body!

???

evolution?

No, how did you evolve with such a huge advantage?!

…………

Xia Yu's surprise lasted only a moment before he immediately stopped the match and took out the broken Punishment Bottle and an A-rank Dragon-type item, placing them next to the Dragapult that was enveloped in white light.

As Dragapult evolved, it sensed the presence of an A-rank Dragon-type item and the broken Judgment Pot, and began to frantically use Ghost-type core energy and Dragon-type energy.

A-rank Dragon-type items are far from sufficient compared to the Broken Judgment Bottle, but Xia Yu had no choice. He still had an S-rank Dragon-type item given to him by Teacher Long, but he planned to use that item when Axew evolved. An S-rank Dragon-type item would be more effective when used on a pure Dragon-type Axew.

From Xia Yu's perspective, the Ghost-type core energy reserves on the broken Punishment Pot began to rapidly decrease, dropping to 10% in just one breath.

9%...

8%...

…………

0%

Seeing this scene, Xia Yu felt a little heartbroken but also a little expectant.

What's heartbreaking is the Ghost-type core energy, but what I'm really looking forward to is how much stronger Dragapult will become after absorbing so much Ghost-type energy!

After Draco absorbed all the Ghost-type core energy from the shattered Judgment Pot, the white light emanating from Draco reached its peak.

The blinding light was like daytime, and then Doronchi's body began to transform and lengthen, and the form of Doronchi was about to take shape.

The moment Dorambaruto's form froze, the white light shattered like a mirror, revealing Dorambaruto's slender body.

The evolved Draco Balto has sharp eyes, and its head is triangular like a fighter jet. There are four small holes on its wings, like launch ports, and two Draco Mesias are lying in the holes.

Success! Near-Heavenly King level strength!

After absorbing all the Ghost-type core energy from the Broken Judgment Pot, Dragapult became the first Pokémon in Xia Yu's collection to rise from zero to the level of a near-Elite Four member.

It's worth noting that Dragapult evolved into Dragapult in just one year from birth, an outrageous growth rate that is simply astonishing.

It's important to know that under normal circumstances, it takes 5-10 years for a pseudo-legendary Pokémon to grow.

Just like Xu Xiu, even with the Evil Face Stone Tablet, it took him three years to cultivate a Tyranitar with the strength of a Champion.

Xia Yu's growth rate of the Dragon Balut is so fast that it can only be described as outrageous. If this were an ordinary person, they would have been taken away for a secret investigation long ago.

Of course, the reason why Dralongaruto was able to grow so quickly was not only due to the help of the Punishment Pot, but also to its own extremely high aptitude and Xia Yu's large amount of money investment.

Looking back on the past year, Xia Yu realized that, setting aside the broken Judgment Pot, the money spent on Dralongbaruto alone was an astronomical figure.

If it weren't for its exclusive Z-Moves and corresponding actions, the benefits of Mega Evolution, and the benefits of the Cordyceps Secret Realm...

It would have been extremely difficult for the Xia family to support the growth of Dorambaruto in the past.

However, from now on, after using up its Ghost-type core energy, Dragapult's growth rate will decrease significantly.

…………

Xia Yu's gaze fell on the evolved Dragapult. After evolving, its strength had completely surpassed that of other Pokémon, and Xia Yu had a premonition that his Dragapult was very strong, far stronger than ordinary Elite Four Pokémon.

Judging from its appearance alone, his Dragapult was different from other Dragapults. The Ghost-type energy on its body was far too concentrated, almost frighteningly so.

"Alright, we don't need to continue this match." Xia Yu ended the match at the right time.

How can Sceptile, which has just reached the Gym Leader level, fight Dragapult, which has reached the Quasi-Elite Four level?

However, just as Xia Yu finished speaking, the Sceptile King Mega Evolution Stone on the Sceptile King suddenly shone with a dazzling light!

Xia Yu's gaze fell upon the Lizard King.

Clearly, Sceptile doesn't want to admit defeat so easily; it wants to rely on Mega Evolution to fight Dragapult again!

Seeing this, Xia Yu thought for a moment and then shook his head slightly: "This match ends here. Sceptile cannot use Mega Evolution in Gym Leader level battles. If you really want to continue battling Dragapult, you can start over after you've finished battling all the Pokémon."

"Rest well now."

Chapter 455 The Lazy Gengar

After the first match ended, the second match quickly followed.

Xia Yu thought for a moment and decided that the second match would be between Cinderace and Shiny Gengar, the third match would be between Charizard and Noivern, and the fourth match would be between Diancie and Indeedee.

We'll save the Axew and Armored Dragon that we already battled today for last.

As for the match between Iron Warrior and Darkrai, well, if Darkrai really wants to fight, he can step in anytime!

With a light leap, Flame Ace used its powerful jumping ability to jump directly into the battlefield.

Cinderace is different from other Pokémon. It has weaker arms and mainly attacks with its legs. It also uses different moves than other Pokémon.

Gengar floated up and flew onto the field, revealing its signature Gengar smile as it looked at Cinderace.

Cinderace and Gengar have always been among Xia Yu's favorite Pokémon besides Steel-type Pokémon.

The Flame Ace Liberty's traits have always been among the best in battle.

And Gengar goes without saying; it's an extremely popular Pokémon throughout the entire Pokémon world.

"The second match is between Cinderace and Gengar! You can stand behind whoever you support."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, all the Pokémon sprang into action. Since their strengths were roughly equal, and the number of supporters behind them was also similar, it was practically a 50/50 situation.

To be honest, Xia Yu couldn't predict who would win this match.

Of course, if he had to choose one, Xia Yu would choose Blazing Ace.

The most important reason is that the characteristics of Cinderace are simply too strong.

Gengar has an extremely rich move pool, but Cinderace can avoid a considerable number of moves thanks to its Free Spirit ability.

For poison-type moves, Cinderace can simply use Iron Head to transform itself into a Steel-type, making it immune to poison.

For Electric-type moves, Cinderace can simply use Sand Splatter to transform itself into a Ground-type, making it immune to Electric-type moves.

Similarly, Gengar's Ghost-type moves, and Cinderace's Normal-type moves can also make it immune to Ghost-type moves.

The Freelancer trait is truly unparalleled in this world without skill restrictions.

Of course, Gengar is not without hope of victory; it all depends on whether Gengar can choose the most suitable move from among many available moves.

…………

"Game start!"

As Xia Yu's voice rang out, the competition began.

Almost the instant Xia Yu's voice fell, Cinderace lightly lifted his foot, kicked up a small pebble, and with flames swirling around his body, he watched as Gengar launched the first attack.

The Flame Ace kept kicking the small fireballs, like juggling a ball. In just a few kicks, the fireballs grew bigger and bigger, eventually turning into a giant fireball under the Flame Ace's feet.

"boom!"

The giant fireball was kicked out by Cinderace and flew towards Gengar.

A powerful fireball right off the bat?

As expected of a Fire-type Pokémon, it has a short temper; a Pokémon's type does have some influence on its personality. Of course, there are exceptions like Charizard.

Watching Cinderace unleash the Fireball move, Xia Yu looked curiously at Gengar, wondering how Gengar would react.

Under Xia Yu's watchful gaze, Gengar's actions at this moment were completely unexpected. Xia Yu did not expect Gengar to use Protect at this time!

Xia Yu frowned slightly as he watched this scene.

Gengar used Protect too hastily. In fact, Gengar had many other options at that moment, such as sharing the pain, splitting the stamina, or even taking a Fireball head-on.

Alternatively, you can choose to use the Ability Swap move. Although you will have to take a Fireball, you will steal the Ability of Cinderace Freeman, making the game more favorable to you.

Gengar's move pool gives it a lot of options. It's not that using Protect is bad, it's just that there are more and better choices.

A light shield appeared, blocking Cinderace's powerful attack for Gengar.

Immediately afterwards, Gengar unleashed a skill that shocked Xia Yu!

A song of destruction!

Huh? It wasn't until this moment that Xia Yu realized he had underestimated Gengar. He never expected that Gengar would use Perish Song in a 1v1 duel.

In the game, the winner of a match using Perish Song is determined by who is slower. However, in reality, if both Pokémon lose all their HP due to Perish Song, it results in a draw.

Therefore, as long as Gengar sings its demise song, the match will at least end in a draw.

Although Cinderace has a strong Free Spirit ability, it is invincible as long as Gengar uses Perish Song!

Xia Yu looked at Gengar and began to wonder if Gengar was afraid of pain and trouble, so it chose to use Protect and then Perish Song to end the match as soon as possible.

Looking at Gengar's lazy expression, Xia Yu thought it was more and more likely!
