Chapter 204

Her mouth instantly emitted wave after wave of piercing sound waves.

These sound waves, like ripples, surged toward the Blaziken.

"Xia!"

Hearing these insect chirps, the Blaziken covered his ears.

"Blaziken, use Flamethrower to interrupt her!"

The Blaziken looked at the Flygon and immediately spewed a mouthful of golden flame.

Seeing this, the Flygon instantly dodged.

The insect chirps issuing from her mouth naturally vanished.

"Blaziken, seize the moment and use Blaze Kick!"

With the insect chirps no longer interfering.

The Blaziken stepped forward with his left leg and launched himself directly from his spot.

His right leg was instantly enveloped in golden flame mid-air.

The Blaziken moved with extreme speed, reaching the Flygon in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Flygon was still thinking of dodging.

But the Blaziken would not give her that chance.

The Blaziken's leg turned into a lingering afterimage.

He instantly kicked the Flygon.

"Sizzle!"

The foot, covered in golden flame, struck the Flygon, causing her body to turn charred black and emit smoke.

With a single kick, the Blaziken sent the Flygon flying.

"Ying!"

The Flygon flipped several times in the air.

Finally, she stabilized her posture.

"Flygon, hold on and use Dragon Claw!"

The Flygon's two claws instantly lit up.

She flapped her wings at high frequency and agilely flew toward the Blaziken.

Simultaneously, the dual claws on her hands slashed downward instantly.

At the very instant the Flygon attacked.

The Blaziken left only an afterimage in his original position.

He vanished again under circumstances the Flygon could hardly perceive.

The Flygon's Dragon Claw merely struck the Blaziken's shadow.

"Bang!"

Just as her dual claws landed, the Flygon's right side instantly took a punch.

Furthermore, she felt an unbearable flame at the wound, constantly scorching her body.

Under this Flame Punch, the Flygon was knocked back several meters again.

"What a tenacious Blaziken."

Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu thought to herself.

This speed, far exceeding that of ordinary Pokémon, was simply too shameless!

Others couldn't land a hit on the Blaziken at all, yet the Blaziken could attack his opponent at will.

It was simply an unfair contest.

"Flygon, use Swift!"

The Flygon instantly spat out a string of star-shaped energy from her mouth.

These stars moved with extreme speed, flying directly toward the Blaziken.

"Destroy them with Flamethrower!"

The Blaziken immediately spewed a pillar of fire from his mouth.

The fire pillar destroyed all the incoming Swift stars.

Subsequently, the Blaziken controlled his Flamethrower again, attacking toward the Flygon.

"Flygon, use Dig to dodge!"

The Flygon burrowed into the ground.

A hole formed in the blink of an eye, and the Flygon immediately drilled down into it.

Having lost its target, the Flamethrower naturally ceased.

Just then, a slight vibration appeared beneath the Blaziken's feet.

The Blaziken looked down as the ground heaved.

The Flygon burst from the earth, attacking the Blaziken.

"Since the opponent has delivered herself to our door, don't let her escape!"

"Endure this hit and use Close Combat!"

The Flygon's head rammed into the Blaziken.

The Blaziken's face contorted as he endured the damage and pounced on the Flygon.

At this moment, hearing Su Yu's command, Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu felt a sense of foreboding in her heart.

"Flygon, dodge quickly!"

Yet, how could the Flygon's speed possibly compare to that of the Blaziken?

Just as the Flygon heard her Trainer's words and intended to retreat,

the Blaziken had already wrapped both arms around her.

"Ying!"

Seeing this, the Flygon cried out in panic.

The instant she opened her mouth, the Blaziken's fists rained down upon her like hail.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Blaziken's fists struck every part of the Flygon's body.

Every punch landed with a dull thud.

Stung by pain, the Flygon instantly took flight, trying to shake the Blaziken off her back.

She even lashed out wildly at the Blaziken with both claws.

However, the Blaziken simply ignored her attacks.

He devoted all his focus entirely to offense.

Even when scratched by the Flygon, he cared not in the slightest.

Under such mutual assault,

it was the Flygon who suffered far more.

Her offensive power simply could not match the Blaziken's ferocity.

Each time they exchanged blows, she felt as though her opponent's expression never changed.

Yet every fist the Blaziken landed on her body drew a scream of agony from her.

Thus, midway through her flight, the Flygon, overwhelmed by the Blaziken's fierce assault,

ceased flapping her wings and plummeted from the sky.

During the fall, the Blaziken gripped the Flygon's body with both arms, positioning her beneath himself.

The Flygon became the Blaziken's living cushion for landing.

"Boom!"

Hurled downward from high altitude, the Flygon was slammed into the ground by the Blaziken's overhead throw, creating a crater.

Instantly, a massive pit formed on the battlefield.

Lying within that pit was the unconscious Flygon.

【Blaziken defeated Flygon, gaining 7000 experience points!】

Seeing this, Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu silently recalled the Flygon.

The decision-making in this battle had been her own carelessness.

She hadn't expected Su Yu to seize the moment when the Flygon dug its hole to launch an attack.

He used close-quarters combat to press the advantage.

Under Blaziken's relentless assault, the Flygon stood no chance whatsoever.

Yet, facing such a situation, what could she possibly do?

Blaziken's speed was far too great for the Flygon to handle!

Moreover, from her earlier observations, she noticed that Su Yu's Blaziken seemed to grow faster as the battle dragged on.

"What a terrifying Pokémon!"

Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu thought to herself.

She sent out her third Pokémon.

It was a Pokémon with a sky-blue body, entirely enveloped in clouds.

【Name: Altaria (Dragon, Flying)】

【Gender: ♀】

【Level: Lv. 3】

【Ability: Natural Cure (Any status condition is healed upon returning to the party.)】

【Potential: Ace】

【IVs: HP (29), Attack (28), Sp. Atk (31), Defense (31), Sp. Def (27), Speed (31)】

【Moves: Dragon Pulse, Pluck, Mist... Sky Attack, Moonblast, Hyper Beam】

【Description: On sunny days, it flies freely among cotton clouds, singing with a beautiful high-pitched voice.】

Seeing this Pokémon, Su Yu was also somewhat surprised.

Altaria counted as a rare Pokémon.

Though it had little relation to the Dragon type, it possessed Dragon-type attributes.

Thus, it was considered a very powerful Pokémon.

"Altaria, use Disarming Voice!"

Altaria floated in the air, cheerfully emitting musical notes from its mouth.

Altaria's Disarming Voice differed from the Flygon's earlier bug-like chirping; it was extremely pleasant to the ear.

Yet, it was precisely this melodious sound that could inflict damage on the opponent.

Upon hearing these sounds, Blaziken found them not unpleasant, yet felt uncomfortable all over.

The damage from Disarming Voice was spiritual in nature.

"Blaziken, use Aura Sphere!"

Blaziken heard Su Yu's command.

Blue energy gradually surged throughout its body.

This was the Aura power within it.

Although Blaziken's Aura power was not as strong as that of a Pokémon like Lucario,

it was not much weaker.

In an instant, a blue sphere of energy formed in Blaziken's hand.

This energy sphere had already locked onto Altaria's aura signature.

Aura Sphere locks onto the opponent's internal Aura.

Therefore, this strike could not be dodged!

Facing Altaria's song, Blaziken hurled the Aura Sphere from its hand into the sky.

The blue Aura Sphere traced an arc across the sky before rushing toward Altaria.

"Altaria, use Cotton Guard!"

Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu also knew the characteristics of Aura Sphere, so she ordered Altaria to raise its defense.

Upon hearing the command, Altaria withdrew into the cotton clouds surrounding its body.

Its entire body contracted, leaving only a mass of cotton exposed.

"Bang!"

The Aura Sphere exploded against that mass of cotton, blasting the pure white fluff far away.

After enduring the Aura Sphere, Altaria poked its head back out.

From its condition, it was clear it had suffered no damage.

"Altaria, use Power Swap!"

A purple light ignited upon Altaria's body.

Immediately, the entire arena was enveloped by this radiance.

【Power Swap: Using psychic power to swap changes to Attack and Sp. Atk stats between itself and the opponent.】

This was the troublesome aspect of Psychic-type moves; they always possessed such strange effects.

Because of this move, Blaziken suddenly felt its strength dwindling.

Conversely, Altaria felt its own power becoming immensely vast.

It was an experience unlike any before!

"Well done, Altaria! Use Dragon Pulse!"

Joy lit up Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's face.

With Blaziken's Attack stat now transferred, Altaria's combat power instantly rose to another level.

Altaria immediately began its relentless bombardment.

Her skills seemed to require no stamina at all as she relentlessly unleashed them upon the Flame Chicken.

"Even with power, if you cannot land a hit, failure is inevitable!"

"Flame Chicken, use Agility to endure this period!"

Power Swap has a time limit; once the skill ends, it will be the moment of the Altaria's defeat!

After gaining immense power,

the Altaria immediately began employing various skills.

Dragon Pulse, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Dazzling Gleam.

All these skills were unleashed in an instant.

Seeing this, the Flame Chicken took cover below.

Although the Altaria's attacks were indeed terrifying, and the aftermath of the bombardment injured the Flame Chicken,

such damage was barely better than nothing.

After several minutes of this chase and strike exchange,

Power Swap reached its end.

The Altaria lost the boost from this skill.

Her strength returned to its normal value.

At this moment, the Flame Chicken also regained his own power.

He clenched his fists, feeling the return of his strength.

"Now, it is time for our counterattack!"

"Flame Chicken, rush forward with Fire Punch!"

The Flame Chicken instantly leaped up, flying toward the Altaria.

His fists were now engulfed in golden flames.

At this moment, the Altaria tried to dodge.

But to her surprise, she discovered

that she had been far too excited just now!

She had used too many skills!

She hadn't noticed it earlier,

but now, she felt that even moving slightly was strenuous.

It was like a child who had just received a new toy, playing for so long without realizing their exhaustion.
