Pokémon: Master System.

Chapter 541 Water System Gym Leader

"Charizard! Mega Evolve!" Xia Yu placed his finger lightly on the Evolution Key Stone, and a loud voice rang out.

Colorful light enveloped the Charizard's body, continuously stretching and enlarging it.

"Roar!"

With Charizard's roar, the light shattered, revealing Mega Charizard Y's gray-black body, enveloped in a faint glow of fire, its flames dancing.

As Charizard grows stronger, its mastery of Fire-type energy, a specialty of special attacks, becomes increasingly terrifying.

"Xia Yu immediately Mega Evolved Charizard at the start!" Wang Weijia's voice rang out.

"Although this is not the first time we have seen Mega Evolution, every time we see Mega Evolution, it always excites us."

"This makes us feel like we've returned to that summer, and the scene of Xia Yu winning the championship is still vivid in our minds."

"Mega evolution is almost one of Xia Yu's signature abilities."

"It's here! Xia Yu's ace Pokémon, Mega Charizard!"

As the host's passionate voice rang out, Mega Charizard Y erupted with fire-type energy, spreading outwards and surging into the sky.

"Sunlight characteristics activated!"

"Charizard is fighting Poliwag for the weather!"

The fire and water energies collided in the field, and the torrential rain gradually subsided into a drizzle, eventually stopping.

"The strength of Mega Charizard should be roughly equal to that of Poliwag, but Mega Charizard undoubtedly has a much stronger control over Fire-type energy."

"The heavy rain has completely stopped, but unfortunately it's nighttime now. If it were daytime, the weather might have cleared up."

"This kind of weather is fair to both sides, so it's like we're back on the same starting line."

…………

The core of rainy weather tactics is the weather.

Without rainy weather, the team's strength drops by at least half.

Breaking the rainy weather barrier is practically half the battle won.

That's what they say, but for true masters of the rain team, it's not like that at all.

Seeing the heavy rain stop, Qin Bin remained calm. In his decades-long career of combat, he had encountered this situation countless times.

"Mosquito Coil Frog King! Bluster!" Qin Bin's voice rang out.

Hearing Qin Bin's order, Xia Yu frowned. The bluffing skill was a really annoying skill.

Bluffing will greatly increase the enemy's attack power, but at the same time it will throw the enemy into a state of confusion.

Currently, Poliwrath is using the Bluff skill to boost Mega Charizard Y's attack, which seems like a bad move.

However, in reality, Mega Charizard Y's Special Attack specialization, which greatly increases its Attack, has almost no effect on Mega Charizard Y.

Mega Charizard, however, falls into a confused state, essentially putting the enemy into a confused state directly, which is quite annoying.

Faced with the harassment tactics of the Mosquito Coil Frog King, Xia Yu frowned deeply.

Since that's the case, then there's no point in arguing with Qin Bin. Xia Yu made a decision, waved his hand, and directly ordered Charizard to use its strongest move: "Charizard, Burst Burn!"

…………

"Wow! It seems that Xia Yu is a bit hot-tempered today. Right at the start of the match, he Mega Evolved Charizard and immediately unleashed the strongest Burst Burn move."

"Roar!"

Mega Charizard let out an angry roar, and with the roar, flames erupted from its body, engulfing its gray-black form in scorching heat.

The flames burned brightly, illuminating the night like a small sun and dispelling the winter chill.

With a flap of its wings, the Charizard unleashed a torrent of flames that spread outwards like a tidal wave. In an instant, the flames engulfed the entire battlefield, turning it into a sea of ​​fire!

Faced with the terrifying attack of Mega Charizard Y, Qin Bin decisively chose to have Poliwag temporarily avoid the attack!

"Mosquito Coil Frog King, hold the line!"

Faced with the terrifying attack of Mega Charizard Y, Poliwag, which was originally using the Swagger move, had to interrupt its move and switch to Protect.

The flames scorched the ground, and the Charizard was rendered paralyzed.

"Come back, Charizard." Taking advantage of the opportunity created by the Burst Burn, Xia Yu immediately recalled Charizard and then took out Sceptile's Poké Ball.

(Normally, being stuck in a frozen state shouldn't allow for replacement, but in reality, this setting has been modified so that replacement is now possible.)

"Go, Lizard King!"

As Xia Yu's voice rang out, his other ace Pokémon, Sceptile, made its appearance.

"Come back, Poliwag." On the other side, Qin Bin watched as Xia Yu switched Pokémon, and he also decisively recalled Poliwag and replaced it with a backup Pokémon.

The first round of their encounter was a tentative one, with both sides testing each other out.

"It's your turn, Lucky Kappa!"

Ludicolo is a Water/Grass-type Pokémon that looks like a duck wearing a cowboy hat.

Xia Yu's gaze fell on the Happy Kappa.

With the ability to move freely, it possesses near-Champion-level strength and carries an A-rank Wet Rock.

It's decent, with nothing particularly outstanding, but also no major weaknesses. The only thing to note is that it carries the item Damp Rock, which makes it the second weather-controller in the team.

They have mastered all the core and key skills.

It's obvious that Qin Bin's team is a standard rain team, but a weaker version of a rain team.

The ideal setup for a true rain team would be a weather setter who is also the team's special attacker.

The best physical attacker should be Mega Swampert, with its maxed-out Attack stat and Swift Swim ability, making it the top attacker in rainy conditions.

Finally, adding a Zapdos to the defensive and offensive roles can effectively counter Grass-type and Electric-type Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Zapdos can use Thunder and Hurricane, which are guaranteed to hit, in the rain, both of which can provide extremely high damage output and cover its coverage.

This is the rain team that Xia Yu envisioned.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that such a team could be seen in this world.

Of the three Pokémon, Mega Swampert alone can trap 99% of players, not to mention Zapdos and Kyogre.

Zapdos still has a tiny bit of hope, but Kyogre... well, I doubt anyone can catch Kyogre, right?

…………

The Ludicolo in front of him could only serve as a second-rate fighter in the rain, with neither high special attack nor physical attack, and only at the level of a near-Elite Four member. Xia Yu was still confident in defeating it.

Actually, Xia Yu knew that there was a very powerful Pokémon to deal with Team Rain, and that was Ferrothorn.

The nut dumbbells are great for rainy days, whether you use them yourself or someone else.

One of the key factors in determining whether a team is qualified for rainy weather is their ability to tackle nut dumbbells.

Whenever this happens, Xia Yu thinks of the power of the Steel type. If he had a Nut Dumbbell, he could practically win the game.

"High five surprise attack! Lucky Kappa!" Just then, Qin Bin's voice rang out.

Chapter 542 Qin Bin

"Snapped!"

A clear voice sounded.

Lucky Kappa gathered Normal-type energy, which transformed into an energy palm and slapped directly at Lizard King.

It has to be said that the high-five surprise attack skill is quite powerful.

Although the damage is not high, it can interrupt the enemy's skills and make the opponent hesitate.

Taking the lead right from the start.

After successfully landing the first attack, Qin Bin didn't pause at all and continued to order Lucky Duck: "Lucky Duck, use the Freeze Beam!"

Hearing Qin Bin's order, Xia Yu originally planned to have the Lizard King undergo Mega Evolution, but now he had to abandon that idea.

Originally, Sceptile was only twice as weak to Ice, but after Mega Evolution, it became four times as weak to Ice.

"Lizard King, go up there and use Sword Dance to block its freezing beam!"

"Chamo!"

The Lizard King responded to Xia Yu, then suddenly spun around, its thick, long tail waving as it turned like a spinning top.

At the same time, Lucky Duck released an astonishing chill, with visible frost flying everywhere, and ice energy gathering in Lucky Duck's hands.

A blue beam of light flew towards the Mega Lizard King, kicking up bursts of ice shards and sending chills through the air.

"What terrifying ice energy."

"This is just its non-Style move. If it uses a Style 1 move, its power will definitely be even greater."

"Ludicolo's mastery of water and grass-type energy has definitely reached the level of Champion."
