"You really know how to pick! These are the strongest Pokémon I have," Dara praised. "No wonder you're a trainer who could defeat Ms. Agatha. How about we have our battle this afternoon?"
[Ding! You have obtained a Knowledge Symbol. Rewards: 6 Advanced Magic Candies, 1 Characteristic Enhancement Stone, 1 Silver Crown, and 1 Permanent Skill Learner of Your Choice!]
The system suddenly issued a task.
"Okay, let's have the match this afternoon." Xiao Mao agreed without any hesitation.
"Let's have lunch here then," Dara said.
"it is good!"
Then, Dara took Shigeru and Ashida to the break room in the factory.
"The rewards for this mission are very generous; they even gave out a silver crown directly." Xiao Mao knew that the rewards for challenging the Battle Frontier Zone would be generous, but he didn't expect them to be this generous.
The Silver Crown, an item that enhances potential, can only be obtained by completing the tournament champion's mission.
The fact that there are such generous rewards is probably related to Xiao Shi's choice of battle rules.
Unfortunately, only the Battle Factory in Dara has this rule; the other Battle Facilities do not.
After lunch, Xiao Mao ran to the teleporter and asked Xiao Jian to teleport a few Pokémon over.
This opponent is no pushover. Apart from Blastoise and Moltres, all of Xiao Shi's Pokémon are at the level of a near-Elite Four member, making it difficult to deal with his opponent this afternoon.
...!
2:30 PM.
Dara led Shigeru and Ashida to a huge chimney in the Battle Engineering facility. This chimney wasn't used to vent smoke; inside was a huge field.
This unique chimney site left Xiao Mao speechless. Spending money to build such a tall chimney was completely pointless and a waste of money.
But upon closer reflection, none of Dara's Pokémon, except for Articuno, can fly. Dara had only had Articuno for less than six months, so it's impossible for her to dismantle the chimney just for Articuno.
"Xiao Mao, go to that elevator platform over there, that's the command area," Dara explained.
"it is good."
Xiao Mao nodded and walked towards the lifting platform on the right. As soon as he stood on the platform, he saw a curved lifting rod at the edge of the platform that rose up to form a fence. Then the platform began to rise and stopped when it reached a height of 10 meters.
The elevator platform opposite was also rising, and Dara was already standing on it.
Inside the referee's area, the referee, seeing that the lifts had stopped rising, announced: "The next match will be between Dara and Gary. The number of Pokémon used in this match is 3, and both sides can freely switch Pokémon. Now, please release your Pokémon simultaneously."
"Let's settle this once and for all! Go, Venusaur!" Dara threw out a Poké Ball.
Baton!
A giant Venusaur, resembling an African bullfrog, makes its appearance.
【LV62 Venusaur (♂)/Elite Four】
"Glass Spirit, go!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball.
Baton!
A beautiful blue fox makes its appearance.
【LV58 Ice Sprite♂/King】
Glaceon has been with Gary's Pokémon for a long time, but its level gradually fell behind the rest of the team because its potential was only at the Gym level. Although its potential has increased now, its level has been stuck for so long.
Seeing that both sides had sent out their Pokémon, the referee announced, "Ready...Go!!"
"Venusaur, test Glaceon's strength with Razor Leaf," Dara commanded.
"Okay!"
Venusaur shook its body vigorously, and two huge palm leaves flew out from its side. The leaves spun rapidly and turned into two green streaks that shot out quickly.
"Frozen Wind!"
The ice sprite exhaled a cold wind, and the frigid icy wind instantly froze the two flying leaves into ice, causing them to fall to the ground.
The first round of confrontation was evenly matched.
The reason Glaceon was able to perform so well is naturally because it carried the perfect Ice-resistant item. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a near-Elite Four member to fight on par with an Elite Four member unless their base stats differed significantly, which is obviously impossible since Glaceon and Venusaur have the same base stats.
"Use a snow scene!" Xiao Mao commanded.
"Ice!"
The Ice Sprite used Snowscape, and a layer of gray clouds appeared above the chimney, from which snowballs the size of fingernails fell.
Dara glanced at the sky and immediately commanded, "...Use the powerful whip!"
Two fist-thick vines quickly grew from Venusaur's side, raised high, and then lashed down. Faced with two powerful lashes, Glaceon had a hard time dodging.
"Use your shadow clones to charge forward," Shigeru commanded.
The Glaceon ran forward, immediately creating streaks of shadows. More than a dozen Glaceons appeared and charged towards Venusaur together.
"Okay!"
Venusaur didn't care at all, and didn't care which one was the real Glaceon. It tried to spread its Vine Whip outwards as much as possible, and then lowered the Vine Whip down in an arc to attack, locking almost half of the field within its attack range.
Wherever the powerful vine whip passed, all the ice sprites it touched vanished. When only two ice sprites remained, one of them leaped high into the air.
boom! !
The two powerful vine whips collided, and although they did not hit the Ice Sprite, they (Deno's) also eliminated all of the Ice Sprite's clones.
"Blizzard!"
At a command, ice sprites descended from the sky, unleashing a massive blizzard, with icy winds attacking the entire area.
"Okay!"
Venusaur manipulated its powerful vine whips, quickly folding them together to form a shield in front of it. A fierce blizzard swept through, freezing and shattering the shield instantly, and the blizzard struck Venusaur.
“Bana!!”
Venusaur let out a mournful cry as frost covered its body, leaving it in a state of frostbite. Pokémon in a frostbitten state will take half the damage of non-fixed damage special attack moves.
Frostbite is similar to burns; one halves the damage of physical attacks, and the other halves the damage of special attacks. As for the loss of HP each turn, that's an effect in the game.
In actual battles, Pokémon suffering from frostbite or burns will experience increased damage when attacked.
477: Shigeru vs. Dara
"Venusaur, come back and rest." Dara saw the frostbitten Venusaur and immediately recalled it.
Shigeru paused for a moment, then realized that this wasn't a gym battle, but a battle in the Frontier.
I'm so used to battling gyms that I've forgotten that there's no rule against switching Pokémon in the Battle Frontier.
"Articuno, it's your turn." Dara threw out the Poké Ball.
Baton!
[LV60 Articuno/Champion]
Xiao Mao glanced at Articuno, then looked up at the weather above. It seemed that the snowy weather was also becoming Articuno's advantage, especially since Articuno could manipulate the weather. With Articuno present, the snowy weather would be prolonged.
"Articuno, use Water Pulse!" Dara commanded.
"Aww!"
A water sphere condensed in front of the Frozen Bird's beak and launched out.
Glaceon sprayed Freeze-Dry, instantly freezing the incoming water ball into ice, while Articuno took advantage of Glaceon's distraction with Water Pulse to swoop down.
"Steel Wings!"
As Articuno swooped down, its wings were covered in thick steel-based energy, shimmering with a metallic silver light.
"Iron Tail!"
The Glaceon's tail was covered in Steel-type energy. It leaped forward and rolled, swinging its tail to collide with Articuno's Steel Wing.
when! ! !
When Iron Tail and Steel Wing collided, Glaceon's strength was no match for Articuno's, and it was knocked to the ground. Articuno itself was also bounced several meters high by the force of the impact.
"Air Slash!" Dara exclaimed, and Articuno flapped its wings rapidly, sending air blades crashing down on the Ice Sprite.
"Ice..."
Glaceon gritted its teeth and withstood the damage from the Air Blade, but it still couldn't compete with a Pokémon at the Elite Four level.
"Glass Spirit, come back." Seeing that Glass Spirit was no match, Gary took out a Poké Ball and recalled Glass Spirit.
"Electivire, it's your turn." Gary threw out the Poké Ball.
Baton!
【LV62 Electabuzz♂/Champion】
"Wow! Wow?"
Electivire roared fiercely, but when it saw that its opponent was Articuno, it was stunned for a moment. However, it quickly recognized that the Articuno in front of it was not Gary's.
"You sent out an Electric-type Pokémon. It seems that all three Pokémon you prepared have a type advantage over mine," Dara said.
“Since I know which Pokémon Mr. Dara will send out, I don’t need to use a Pokémon with the opposite type in the battle,” Gary replied.
"Hahaha!" Dara laughed loudly, "Not bad, then let's continue the battle, Articuno, use Ice Beam."
"Aww!!"
Articuno unleashed a cold beam of light at Electivire.
"100,000 volts!" Shigeru retorted.
"Whoa!!"
Electivire's internal electricity was abundant, quickly condensing into a lightning dragon that shot into the sky. The golden lightning and the icy beam converged, and the violent lightning power tore through the cold beam, striking Articuno's body.
"Aww!!"
The arthropod let out a painful cry.
"What! It can't even beat them!" Dara couldn't believe that Articuno was no match for Electivire in their battle.
Articuno and Electivire have the same Special Attack base stat, but Articuno doesn't have the best Ice Melt, while Electivire carries the best Magnet. In addition, Electivire has plenty of electricity in its body, allowing it to continuously release power. When it comes to moves, Electivire naturally has the advantage.
