Chapter 1277

Quartz arena.

After a brief silence.

The lively atmosphere quickly returned, and Lance's supporters shouted hoarsely, trying to give Lance strength.

"Dragon Envoy! Dragon Envoy!"

"King of Change! King of Change!"

Two different shouts rose and fell in the huge arena, as if as long as their voices were loud enough, the winning rate of the object they supported would be higher.

Inside the arena.

All Baimu and Lance's gazes collided again.

Between the two sides was the ground that had become pitted after a fierce battle.

At the cost of exposing Porygon2's hidden trump card, he successfully took down the "Flying Elite Four" Shiny Gyarados.

In All Baimu's view, it was enough to earn.

Except for the attribute advantage brought by Conversion, Porygon2 was actually not as good as Shiny Gyarados in all aspects.

It could be seen from the fact that the opponent resisted the four-times effective Zap Cannon, and could still launch an attack fiercely after being paralyzed, and almost achieved the tactical goal.

Even if there was no major weakness of the Electric attribute, whether Porygon2's double Zap Cannon could take it down was an unknown.

Hopefully the next two will be just as smooth.

All Baimu smoothed his breathing.

The next moment.

He and Lance made almost the same movements—

Recall the Pokémon on the field and release the second Pokémon.

"Exchange! It appeared! All Baimu's combat power preservation strategy!" The host's eyes lit up slightly.

Someone's love for exchange is also well-known, which is completely different from the habits of other Champions who "don't leave the field if they can continue to fight" and "only exchange after defeat."

Some institutions have conducted statistics and found that since All Baimu reached the top of the Champion and became famous globally, the exchange rate of battles and the usage rate of status moves of Trainers in various regions have increased.

To some extent, All Baimu can be considered to have led the trend of the era.

Bang bang!

Two crisp sounds.

In front of All Baimu was Shiny Milotic, and Lance sent out Kingdra hovering above the ground.

"Milo~"

"Kingdra——"

Most Dragon-type Pokémon have the ability to hover, and Kingdra is no exception.

All Baimu was slightly surprised, it wasn't Hydreigon or Aerodactyl?

According to his research on Lance, Hydreigon is his most commonly used giant dragon warrior in recent years, besides Dragonite and Gyarados.

Aerodactyl belongs to the partner he used more frequently in his early years.

Kingdra...

Compared to other Pokémon, it is like Dragapult in All Baimu's team, with relatively weak presence.

Lance smiled.

Kingdra was chosen specifically to deal with All Baimu.

Perhaps the average person would think he is hard to understand, but after Lance watched several battles, he had some discoveries like Diantha—

All Baimu might have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He almost never sends out the Pokémon used in the previous match in a public match off the field.

Lance developed relevant tactical planning based on this feature.

Sure enough, he bet right.

Shiny Milotic was indeed one of All Baimu's choices, and taking Kingdra to deal with it was just right.

"Water-type Milotic vs. Water and Dragon-type Kingdra! Lance has an advantage in attributes!"

The host said the voice of the public, "But Milotic has mastered decent Fairy-type moves, what kind of result will the victory or defeat show? Let's wait and see!"

The voice fell.

"Coil."

"Rain Dance!"

Both sides gave commands simultaneously.

Kingdra raised its tubular mouth and called for heavy rain to descend.

Milotic coiled into a ball, increasing its Attack, Defense, and Accuracy.

Rain clouds gathered.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into sparse water droplets flowing down, making the light in the entire arena dim.

Kingdra's Ability is 【Swift Swim】, which will greatly improve its mobility, which is also an important reason why Lance chose to call for rain clouds knowing that the opponent has Water-type and resists Water-type.

Both sides completed a stage of strengthening.

Tentative attacks began.

"Dragon Pulse!"

"Twister."

Kingdra took a deep breath and suddenly sprayed crimson and azure dual-colored dragon flames forward!

Boom!

In the loud noise, the flames surged and formed a ferocious dragon head.

Then, the friction of the air produced a continuous deafening roar, rushing toward Milotic's gorgeous rice-white body!

"Milo~"

Milotic was unhurried, its tail fin turned into a propeller with a click, spinning at high speed to whip up an azure flame Twister, welcoming the rushing Dragon Pulse!

In an instant, both sides collided!

Rumble!

The air trembled at the intersection!

But the explosion in imagination didn't happen, Milotic's Twister carried Dragon Pulse with incredible stability.

Non-STAB low-power move vs. STAB high-power resistance!?

Exclamations sounded from the auditorium, and the host also felt a bit incredible, who is the Dragon-type Pokémon?

Lance frowned, "This Milotic, the level is really high."

There are many video records of Milotic's shots on the Internet, and what makes him strange is Milotic's growth curve.

Before battling Diantha, Milotic's performance could only be considered amazing, but in that battle, Milotic showed a powerful strength completely different from the past.

Subsequent battles with Kalos Elite Four member Siebold also proved this point.

As if transforming from a weak technician into an existence with both technique and strength.

Outstanding to...

Even Kingdra's Dragon Pulse could be easily caught by Twister!

"Milo!"

Milotic shouted loudly, the accuracy increased by Coil allowed it to manipulate Twister more accurately, so as to achieve the tactical goal of attacking instead of defending.

And once it perfectly accepted the opponent's move, then the moment of counterattack would follow!

It whipped its tail hard!

Rumble!!

Twister carried Kingdra's Dragon Pulse and attacked it, the releaser, in turn!

"Kingdra!"

Kingdra's eyes lit up slightly, and ripples appeared on the water under its body, making it suddenly disappear in place.

Swift Swim is ultimately not a decoration, it successfully avoided the attack from itself.

Twister brushed past its side, the dragon flame head roared and rushed out of the arena, hitting the wall where the protective device was activated, blowing out choking smoke.

The shockwave blew Lance's hair and cape, and his gaze became a bit deep.

It seems that Special Attack moves are not very good.

"Continuous displacement! Scale Shot!"

Lance lifted his cape.

Kingdra's scales on its body surface shone, but the light didn't leave its body, but flowed into its long beak like a gun barrel.

Then, as it ran quickly in the field, one after another was shot out!

Bang bang bang!

The original shotgun Scale Shot turned into sniper armor-piercing bullets in Kingdra's unique release form, hitting Milotic from multiple angles at a speed that Milotic couldn't react to!

"Milo!"

In the smoke that exploded, Milotic groaned.

Its Physical Defense is not as good as its Special Defense, but because it had used Coil to increase its Defense before, Scale Shot is not a move that is too difficult for it to accept.

And seeing that Scale Shot could produce results, Lance wanted to make persistent efforts.

"Scale Shot!"

Who knew the next moment.

A water-blue ring suddenly hung around Milotic, protecting it inside.

All Baimu: "Aqua Ring."

Green light merged into its body, restoring the stamina it lost due to Scale Shot.

Another wave of deep purple scales whistled, but this time one actually successfully hit Milotic, and the rest were blocked by Aqua Ring.

Lance thought Scale Shot could break through it directly, but didn't expect that as soon as the scales touched the water ring, the impact was worn away by more than half by its flipping power.

The scales that lost their driving force naturally became captives of Aqua Ring.

"Milotic used Aqua Ring to catch Scale Shot! Isn't this the specialty of Wallace and Juan?"

The host shouted in surprise.

Wallace had held the Wallace Cup in Kanto many times, he naturally knew Wallace, and was quite familiar with that Milotic of his.

All Baimu's Milotic also knows this technique?

It can only be said that the information protection ability of Wallace and Juan is too strong, and not many people know that All Baimu had studied at Sootopolis Gym.

Including the fact that he had served as a temporary Gym Leader, only those few challengers knew, and relevant news had long been sealed by the Hoenn League and Orre League.

Lance fell into deep thought.

Was his offensive broken easily again?

All kinds of weird status moves are really overwhelming.

"Let's bet."

He ordered confidently: "Draco Meteor!"

Although Gyarados was just shadowed by Porygon2's Substitute attack not long ago, Lance still maintained the composure of a Champion.

Battle, after all.

Bet when you should bet, gamble when you should gamble!

No child cries every day, no Pokémon loses every day!

"Kingdra!"

Kingdra raised its head, deep purple radiance lit up on its chest and abdomen, and suddenly sprayed a massive light group!

Whew—

The light group whistled straight into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it exploded into countless deep purple brilliant light arrows, smashing toward Milotic like cannonballs falling from the sky!

Thump thump thump!

The earth trembled, smoke rose!

Milotic had no extra movements, its body was instantly submerged by Draco Meteor, and the Aqua Ring around it also dissipated.

As if it couldn't support the terrifying power of Draco Meteor!

Blue radiance of ability decline lit up on Kingdra's body, but Lance turned a blind eye, even a bit excited.

"The opportunity has come! Rush over, Kingdra! Yawn!"

That's right.

The purpose of Draco Meteor was to cover, cover Kingdra so that it could get close to Milotic and make it enter a sleep state through Yawn.

As long as it succeeds, Lance believed that All Baimu would inevitably choose to exchange, and then he could take advantage of the Swift Swim effect to launch an attack on his third one, taking the advantage first.

Go!

I can also use status moves!

Lance looked forward to Kingdra's action of rushing into the smoke, Draco Meteor was still not finished falling.

After all, it was a move to cover it, and it would be easy to reveal Kingdra's action if it ended casually...

Lance's smile suddenly froze on his face.

Because as Kingdra approached, the smoke was washed away by it, and the breath of Yawn blew toward the front.

He saw the colorful light film on Milotic's body.

Mirror Coat?

No!

It's Safeguard!

Milotic took Draco Meteor head-on and opened Safeguard, clearly predicting his prediction!

Milky-white airflow blew.

Milotic, enduring the pain, smiled, its tail was like a poisonous snake waiting for prey to take the bait, and it rushed out fiercely!

Kingdra's pupils trembled, and it retreated quickly, trying to dodge.

But Milotic's accuracy was not increased in vain, which was a great improvement for its precise operation, even if it couldn't catch Kingdra.

It was enough to hinder its movement!

Because its main idea was—

"Hypnosis!"

Accompanied by All Baimu's command, Milotic's eyes lit up with pink-purple radiance, and its tail tripped Kingdra's tail, causing its retreat speed to drop.

Light waves were released, Kingdra was covered in it, and its sharp eyes began to soften.

"Yawn failed! Hypnosis succeeded! Amazing reversal!"

The host shouted excitedly.

All this happened too briefly, causing many spectators to understand the situation below only after hearing his voice.

Lance's Kingdra used Draco Meteor as cover to launch a sneak attack on Milotic.

The result failed!

Not only failed, but was also hypnotized by it in turn!

Lance's tactics were completely seen through!

Many Lance fans were heartbroken, only feeling that this battle was completely different from what they had seen before.

What about the hot-bloodedness of move-on-move collisions?

What about all kinds of exciting big scenes?

How did it become a field of tactics, schemes, prediction, and anti-prediction? Pokémon battles shouldn't be like this!

Lance: "..."

Do you think I don't want to!

He quickly took out a Poké Ball, preparing to exchange Kingdra off the field.

Why was his strategy seen through by All Baimu? He really couldn't figure it out.

Little did he know, it was his overly abnormal behavior that exposed himself.

Lance's tactics were always open and close, either attacking or losing cleanly, and his Pokémon were also outstanding in high-power moves.

Therefore, when his Pokémon lowered the power of moves, there must be some unspeakable secret.

Like the previous Hurricane.

Deliberately lengthened the duration, just to blow Porygon2 into the sky and exchange for a chance for Waterfall.

This time he also lengthened Draco Meteor.

There must be something fishy!

Specifically what it would be, it was very difficult for All Baimu to guess for a while, but his intuition told him to guard against status conditions.

As for why he didn't use Protect to guard, it could only be said that how could he eat the loss he had eaten before?

Lance clearly didn't learn to be smart.

"Bind."

All Baimu continued to command.

Milotic swam up, using its body to block the Poké Ball light of Lance recalling the Pokémon.

All Baimu's Pokémon were specifically trained for this.

After all, anime battles are different from game battles; in games, as long as they are not affected by the 【No Escape】 status, they can be exchanged at will.

In anime battles, if the recall light of the Poké Ball doesn't hit, don't even think about recalling it smoothly for a lifetime.

To some extent, this can be considered manually applying the 【No Escape】 status to the opponent.

The sleeping Kingdra was controlled.

Milotic looked at the sleeping opponent, forgetting the pain of being bombarded by Draco Meteor just now, and its eyebrows revealed a bit of a smile.

"Milo~"

"Sleep Talk! Wake up, Kingdra!"

"Disarming Voice."

Both sides' commands arrived.

Milotic moved first, and pink-colored sound waves were released toward Kingdra, who was close at hand.

Kingdra's body trembled violently, and it took a deep breath in pain.

"Woo!!"

Its mouth forcibly erupted with scorching dragon flames, hitting Milotic's body that was entangling it!

It was Dragon Pulse!

Lance's luck came at this time!

Bang bang!

Two clouds of smoke exploded, representing the attack results of the two Pokémon.

"Milo!"

Milotic was in pain.

Even though its Special Defense was outstanding and it had high-level support, it was a bit uncomfortable to take Kingdra's two moves in a row.

Fortunately, Kingdra's Special Attack dropped a lot due to Draco Meteor...

"Take it down! Disarming Voice!"

All Baimu commanded again.

The painful Kingdra woke up slowly, Hypnosis didn't let it sleep until the end of the match.

But it was a pity, it wasn't much different.

Pink-colored sound waves rushed over head-on, and it widened its eyes.

Rumble!!

The strong light shook away the rain curtain!
