Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Cang Xiang! Jump up!"

The best way to avoid an attack like an earthquake, which has a huge range and is difficult to avoid, is to jump high. Cang Xiang's jumping ability can even allow him to stay in the air for a short time, and during this time, the damage of the earthquake can be reduced to the lowest level.

"Don't even think about it!"

However, what Qiao Ran didn't expect was that Zhu Lan had already read his actions in advance, or in other words, had already thought of the instructions he might give.

After using Earthquake, Garchomp flew into the air and stopped above Cang Xiang.

"Groshark! Stomp!"

Following Zhulan's order, Tyrannosaurus's feet began to be wrapped in ochre energy and fell rapidly towards Cang Xiang. If he was hit, Cang Xiang would undoubtedly fall into a more terrifying situation.

Being attacked from both sides, a drop of cold sweat slid down Qiao Ran's forehead. If he wanted to resolve the current situation, he had to face one of the enemies. Fighting with the flying Tyrannosaurus in the air was a very unwise choice. On the contrary - Cang Xiang, who now jumped into the air, had another way to go.

"Behemoth Slash!"

The long sword in Cang Xiang's mouth burst out with blue light, and its length increased several times in an instant. At that moment, her sword also slashed in a certain direction.

It's not the Land Shark in the sky, but——

--ground!

"boom!!"

The gorgeous sword light flashed past everyone's eyes, as if it had absorbed all the light. The moment the sword light flashed, everyone's vision seemed to go dark for a moment.

With the strike of Cang Xiang's sword, the ground that was originally shaking violently was split into two halves, and the originally extremely terrifying shaking also stopped.

"what?"

This sudden action caught Zhulan off guard, and she couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

At this moment, after Cang Xiang slashed out with his sword, he also did a beautiful roll in the air and landed on

He lay on the ground beside him and steadied himself.

As for Tyrannosaurus, he could only quickly stop the skills he released in the air to avoid crashing directly into the ground.

"Good judgment."

A smile appeared on Zhulan's lips. She had used this series of moves on many trainers, and the only trainer who acted like this was Qiao Ran.

Who would have thought that such a method could disrupt the earth energy originally filling the ground and thus stop the violent shaking of the ground?

And that Pokémon, the legendary sword hero, also had great trust in Qiao Ran during this confrontation, and could even carry out such orders without hesitation.

The relationship between Pokémon and their trainers was stronger than she had imagined.

"continue!"

This is not the limit of this young man. If it were just this, she would still not be satisfied. He is not in a complete state now, but she is eager to continue.

"Bite the land shark fiercely, sandstorm!"

Interesting battles were also very rare for her, and she would also learn different experiences in the battles. As she spoke, a whirlwind of sand and dust began to blow around Tyrannosaurus, and gradually, the entire room was filled with yellow sand.

Floating at the edge of the field, Nancy created an invisible space around her to resist the invasion of the sandstorm. However, there was no expression on her face.

"..."

In front of her, the originally very nice field had cracked into a mess, and yellow sand was still floating around in the field.

One uses the earthquake indoors, and the other just slashes the ground with a sword, calling it a friendly match.

These two guys... do they really not care about her at all?

Chapter 484 [Full Force]

The sandstorm sweeping through the room continued, but for Qiao Ran, this skill had no way of interfering with him.

Whether it is Cang Xiang's attributes or his wave power, they can ignore the yellow sand in the sky. For him, these things are just a background board that adds a touch of color.

"Cang Xiang! Playfulness!"

If you want to deal an effective blow to your opponent, you still have to rely on fairy-type skills, and Cang Xiang's fairy attributes can indeed do this.

Pink energy condensed on the blade, and Cang Xiang launched an attack on the opposing Garchomp for the first time.

"Oh? It's still so fast, and it hasn't been affected by the sandstorm yet?"

Zhulan on the opposite side seemed to have noticed this as well, but precisely because of this, she seemed to have discovered something more.

She didn't have much information about these legendary Pokémon, especially those from Galar, and she had no way of immediately understanding their attributes. However, this did not affect her logical judgment. Sometimes, what was revealed in battle was enough for her to make inferences.

"The only Pokémon that can survive a sandstorm without losing status or HP are Rock, Ground, and Steel-type Pokémon."

"The ground and rocks don't seem suitable for this sword hero. So, there is only one possibility left."

To become a champion, not only do you need the knowledge to train Pokémon and the telepathic communication with Pokémon, but the ability to think during battle is also essential.

"——Steel attribute!"

Just from Cang Xiang's reaction, she got the desired result. Even if the sandstorm skill did not cause any interference to the opponent, it was worth it as long as she could get this information.

What is the most important thing on the battlefield?

strength?

No——it should be information!

"Greco, keep shaking!"

Zhulan once again issued instructions to Garchomp, and this time she obviously used more targeted skills.

The Steel attribute is an extremely powerful attribute that can provide a lot of resistance to Pokémon, but - in front of the Ground type, it is like paper.

In the midst of the sandstorm, Garchomp once again shook its body, stomping its feet on the ground. Energy emanated from its body, penetrating deeply into the earth beneath its feet.

Click!

The few relatively intact ground areas on the field began to shake again, and this time, Garchomp didn't give Cang Xiang any chance. While triggering the earthquake, he leaned over and rushed forward.

"Dragon Claw!"

The sickle blades on Garchomp's hands emitted a blue light and extended out, like a sickle reaping lives, slashing towards Cang Xiang.

Not far ahead of it, the energy of the earthquake was also approaching Cang Xiang.

"Using two skills at the same time, is this cheating?" Qiao Ran's back was already soaked with cold sweat. In front of Zhu Lan, he didn't even have a moment to breathe. Her attacks were full of oppression all the time, but he still had to face it together with Cang Xiang.

He hasn't lost yet.

"Cang Xiang! Playfulness!"

The force of an earthquake is definitely not something you can withstand. Instead of taking on the shockwaves of the earthquake, it is better to fight Tyrannosaurus at close range. Maybe you can get a chance of survival. Not only Qiao Ran thinks so, but Cang Xiang's idea is actually not much different from his.

In the midst of the sandstorm, Cang Xiang's body leaped high into the air,

It rushed straight towards the Land Shark and, taking advantage of the situation, crossed the range of the earthquake.

"good."

Zhulan praised Qiao Ran, saying that his choice was indeed correct.

When facing a Pokémon that uses Earthquake, the best solution is not to run away, but to keep your Pokémon close to the opponent. If you are close enough, the damage from the earthquake will also be passed on to you.

The "swords" of the two Pokémon have touched each other in the yellow sand. Under the protection of the heavy sand curtain, the figures of the two Pokémon are looming, and everyone can only see a little bit of them at a certain point in time, but - the three glowing sword blades are always on.

However—just as the two Pokémon were comparing skills and slashing at each other, Bamboo changed its moves once again.

"The choice is right, but what if I do this?"

"what?"

Without any command or warning, Garchomp simply stamped his feet lightly while fighting with the sword.

"boom!!!!"

The ground beneath the two Pokémon's feet was instantly torn apart, broken rocks flew everywhere, and even the sweeping sandstorm was scattered.

The deafening sound echoed in everyone's ears.

Just at that moment, Garchomp released an earthquake under his feet!

"Well!"

Qiao Ran's body felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. The intense vibration and pain made him cover his chest.

In the center of the venue, among the rocky ruins, the scarred Cang Xiang also stood up from the rocks and shook off the dust on his fur.

On the other side, Garchomp also seemed to be in a bit of a mess, but his condition was obviously much better than Cang Xiang's.

"If it's just a sword fight, Garchomp is no match for it."

During the previous fight between the two Pokémon, Kame had already noticed this. Although Sora's ability was weaker than Garchomp's, he still made up for it with his experience, and - he even took advantage of the gaps between attacks to scratch Garchomp's skin.

"However, if you want to get close to Tyrannosaurus, you must consider the cost."

Her Garchomp is not limited to close combat. As a champion, she must deal with various challengers. No matter what kind of Pokémon it is, she has her own strategy to deal with it.

Cang Xiang on the field was biting the sword and breathing heavily. Being able to fight with such a powerful Pokémon for such a long time had already consumed a lot of her physical strength.

However, she still wanted to bring victory to Qiao Ran.

Unfortunately, the opponent's strength was too strong. Even after trying her best, she still couldn't reach the opponent's limit.

"You've done very well, Cang Xiang."

Qiao Ran could sense her mood, and this unwillingness would become the driving force for their progress.

However, thanks to this battle, Qiao Ran and Cang Xiang clearly realized what the ceiling above them looked like.

"It's almost time to end it."

Standing opposite Qiao Ran, at the other end of the broken ground, Zhu Lan smiled gently and took out a small stone from her pocket.

"Let me show you our full strength!"

"Bite the land shark!"

"——Mega Evolution!"

Chapter 485 [Shopping]

"Mega...evolution!"

The moment Zhulan took out the key stone and Garchomp's body began to emit light, not only Qiao Ran, but even the gym trainers who were watching the game widened their eyes in surprise.

Mega evolution is the latest form of evolution recently recognized by the League. This type of evolution will occur in the joint battle of Pokémon and trainer. In addition, the Pokémon that undergoes mega evolution will not only present a new form, but also its combat ability will be greatly improved. Although the ability of mega evolution will disappear after the battle, the fact that it can be used in battle is enough.

"That Garchomp... can actually mega evolve?!"

Nian Hongyu's body was trembling, which meant that in the previous battle, the opponent did not use his full strength?

With such combat power, if it can also mega evolve, how terrifying will it be?

"..."

Not only her, but even Qiao Ran, who was facing Zhu Lan, was trembling slightly. Zhu Lan had brought him too many "surprises".

"Are you scared, Cang Xiang?"

"No."

Cang Xiang had never felt afraid, even when he saw the Land Shark opposite him, whose appearance was changing and becoming more ferocious, with countless spikes sticking out of its body and the sickles on both hands becoming sharper, Cang Xiang still looked at it coldly.

"Come on, Qiao Ran."

Zhulan waved to the boy opposite with her usual smile on her face. However, in this smile, Qiao Ran saw not a gentle mythology scholar, but a proud league champion.

The one eye that was exposed under the long, slightly curly golden hair sparkled with the light of a trainer.

"I said, I will show you all my

strength.”

"So, let me see what your current limit is!"

There will be no regrets in this battle.

"Ok!"

Qiao Ran closed his eyes and took a deep breath - he was afraid that what was coming next would really be the final battle.

"Cang Xiang!"

"Ow!!"
