Chapter 352

Especially at critical moments, it can be utterly infuriating!

But with its incredibly high base stats, the lazy Slaking is loved by many.

One could say...

It's truly a love-hate relationship!

However, Su Lin's Slaking is loved without reservation!

After all, it lacks the Lazy ability and instead possesses the Guts ability!

Even without the Guts ability, it would still be a fine Pokémon!

In short, as long as a Slaking lacks the Lazy ability, it is a fine Pokémon!

The entire Pokémon Gym fell silent.

The two Pokémon in the battle arena were both lying on the ground.

One of them had even fainted.

As for the other, it was now shaking the fainted Pokémon, trying to wake it up.

After all, as an Excadrill, it was no match for Su Lin's Pokémon.

Although, by all rights, its strength should have been enough to crush the opponent.

Yet the aura radiating from the opponent's Pokémon had already overshadowed its own Excadrill!

While this had nothing to do with actual power, the psychological discomfort was real.

Precisely because of this, the Excadrill began to lose its nerve.

If the Swampert hadn't been there, it likely would have fled already.

Its strength was formidable, but the opponent had so many Pokémon!

Moreover, from the very beginning until now, it had been the one suffering losses.

Anyone in its position would have been unable to endure it!

It was clearly stronger than the opponent, yet it kept getting the short end of the stick.

Add to that the opponent's numerical superiority...

How could it possibly fight on?

It must be said that both the Dragonair and the Metagross had their evasion stats maxed out.

Every attack from the opponent missed completely.

Just as an attack was about to hit, they would vanish instantly from the spot.

The Dragonair's Quick Attack and the Metagross's Teleport.

These were both excellent skills for dodging!

Furthermore, neither the Excadrill nor the Swampert were speed-based fighters.

Trying to land a hit on the Dragonair and the Metagross was indeed quite difficult.

As for taking on the Slaking?

The Swampert would simply turn and leave immediately!

Grass-type moves against it were simply too painful!

260: The Dark Forces Will Not Retreat Easily

The middle-aged man looked at his fainted Pokémon in the battle arena.

He hadn't expected the Excadrill to be knocked out at the start.

Now, the Pokémon that had fainted was actually the Swampert!

The Swampert was his trump card!

He never expected it to be knocked out?

And it was knocked out by a Grass-type move—Solar Beam—released by the Slaking!

This Su Lin!!!

The middle-aged man hadn't expected Su Lin's Slaking to know a Grass-type move.

Although there were indeed examples of Slaking learning Grass-type moves.

He never imagined that Su Lin's Slaking had also learned a Grass-type move!

This fellow Su Lin is truly hiding his true strength!

At this point, the middle-aged man felt even more convinced.

Eliminating Su Lin was absolutely necessary!

If someone like Su Lin were left unchecked, he believed it wouldn't be long before...

Another powerful figure would emerge in this world!

And this powerful figure would be from the Yan Nation!

That made it even more imperative to stop Su Lin from growing stronger!

The nation the Dark Forces least wanted to see was the Yan Nation!

Especially a Yan Nation that had just gained a new powerhouse!

The middle-aged man gradually calmed down, and the aura surrounding him shifted accordingly.

He stopped pretending!

This middle-aged man was no ordinary person; if his emotions could truly be swayed so easily...

Then he would not be worthy of possessing such powerful Pokémon.

However, whether his emotions were truly affected or not...

Only he himself would know for certain.

If one were to give a rough estimate.

Then it was certainly influenced, but not much.

After all, since Su Lin's Slaking learned Grass-type moves.

The situation had already developed in a direction the middle-aged man never expected.

It was becoming increasingly uncontrollable!

But now, end it!

"Excadrill! Bring the Swampert over!"

At that moment, the middle-aged man issued an order to Excadrill.

Hearing his master's command, Excadrill did not hesitate and acted immediately.

And after Excadrill brought Swampert before the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man stepped forward quickly.

Looking at him, it seemed as if he was preparing to capture Excadrill and the other two inside Poké Balls, and then leave this place.

But if that were the case, it would not be the style of those dark forces.

If the mission is not completed, they would never retreat so easily.

Not to mention, the current situation still favors the middle-aged man!

Then he would be even less likely to leave from here!

Su Lin watched this scene silently, to see what tricks this middle-aged man was up to!

And Su Lin would not leave from here easily either.

Because after Su Lin's observation, he found that Swampert and the others had greatly improved their autonomous combat awareness.

Just based on Excadrill's attack missing earlier and charging toward them.

Swampert and the others remained calm in the face of danger, and instead cooperated very well to release moves against Excadrill together.

Based solely on this point, Su Lin felt it was very necessary to stay here.

After all, at that time, Su Lin had not given any orders to Swampert and the others!

Staying here would allow Swampert and the others to grow faster; is that not good?

That is very good!

If there is a chance to eliminate those two Pokémon with near-Elite Four strength.

Then it would be even better!

Such a thing seems impossible.

But if one does not try, there is not even a sliver of possibility!

If one tries, perhaps it really could...
