Leaf Storm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the storm subsided, the Grassy Terrain faded away, leaving the original field underneath completely unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serperior stood unwavering upon the Grassy Terrain, its demeanor as proud as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of the audience in the stands were left with their mouths slightly agape, expressions of shock on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Serperior had only appeared twice, the Grassy Terrain it unleashed the first time was already astonishing enough. Now, this Leaf Storm... was even more outrageous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that Leaf Storm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone unconsciously swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t this damn thing’s range even bigger than that Alolan Ninetales’s Blizzard earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the announcer, riding his Aegislash high above, broke out in a cold sweat, because the Leaf Storm had nearly knocked him and his Aegislash out of the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, at the critical moment, the wind currents of the Leaf Storm inexplicably flowed around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, he was once again gripped by lingering fear, even forgetting his commentary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the two Elite Four members and the Champion sitting in the highest audience seats were similarly astonished while watching this Leaf Storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaito, who had experienced the Sky Challenge, was the first to speak dazedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself, \"This... looks even more terrifying than the hurricane that Pidgeot unleashed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kazephyr didn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also utterly shocked, even feeling that some of his own Pokémon might not withstand this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice-type Elite Four member, Rosaline, also remained silent, but a strange light flashed in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she was also astounded by this Serperior’s strength, even feeling that the power of this Leaf Storm was approaching Champion-level Pokémon energy intensity,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What interested her more was that Alolan Ninetales!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alolan Ninetales from the Alola region!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Alolan Ninetales... if her guess was correct, should still be very young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something Rosaline noticed during Alolan Ninetales’s matches. At first, she found it hard to believe, but upon investigation, she quickly found the birth date of that Alolan Vulpix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, it wasn’t really a secret, because this young trainer named Hayashi Kaede recorded the birth dates of all his Pokémon online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>End of July last year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*’Both Kaito and Kazephyr have been to that breeding house. Didn’t they ask him how he raises these Pokémon?’*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought flashed through Rosaline’s mind, and then she began to ponder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Return, Sceptile...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, watching the dazed Sceptile on the field, Kensuke recalled it. Then, he gazed at the still-standing Serperior on the battlefield, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he felt that even if his Charizard took the field with its type advantage, it might not necessarily defeat this Serperior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifying, absolutely terrifying. He even felt he shouldn’t have taken the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer in the sky also finally regained his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly realized:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Leaf Storm didn’t fail to hit him; instead, it deliberately flowed around him at the critical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did that signify?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It signified that even with such a massive range, Serperior still had the spare capacity to control the individual leaves within the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level of precise energy control was simply unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his tone and reorganized his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaf Storm... Serperior’s Leaf Storm defeated Sceptile in one move. But as everyone knows, after using Leaf Storm, there is a period of energy weakness. The power of subsequently used moves will significantly decrease. So, let’s see if Contestant Kensuke can capitalize on this period of weakness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer’s words also made Kensuke’s eyes light up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right! After Serperior uses Leaf Storm, its Special Attack should drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant this might be Serperior’s final moment of glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, as long as Kaede didn’t switch Pokémon, he still had a chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he should defeat one Pokémon, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help me one more time, Charizard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Groar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jet-black Charizard emerged from its Poké Ball in a flash of red light, soaring into the sky and landing in front of Li Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its fierce, sharp claws, the flames leaking from its snout, and the fearless attitude it displayed when activating Blaze against Salamence were still deeply etched in everyone’s minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience above buzzed with discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Charizard is ridiculously strong... and it knows the powerful Fire-type move, Overheat. Can Serperior still win?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not sure. Both Pokémon’s performances are scary. When Charizard activated Blaze last match, the flame on its tail exploded several meters high... It was simply terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s watch, let’s watch. Finally, an interesting match...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop talking. I unconditionally believe in Brother Kaede.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is just insane. I never knew a trainer primarily following the Breeder path could raise Pokémon this strong. It’s over; I want to try being a Breeder too...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaede also rarely smiled on the battlefield. \"Charizard, huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaf Storm, while it did indeed lower the Special Attack of most Serperior after use...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was for most Serperior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Serperior’s Ability was Contrary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Contrary: Reverses any stat changes, causing increases to become decreases and decreases to become increases.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, buffs become debuffs, and debuffs become buffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why Kaede hadn’t commanded Grassy Terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to see if Serperior’s Special Attack will drop because of Leaf Storm? Perfect timing, I also want to see what level Leaf Storm can reach after the boost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaede’s thoughts raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Charizard in the sky, he issued the command without hesitation, \"Serperior, use Leaf Storm again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Charizard, don’t hold back! Go full power, Overheat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",915,"2026-05-30T11:00:43.171Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","c2ac555b83d7b27b222bf6313aeb318c2b8d079aa5de72783eaef570980cf6d3","pokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-chapter-371","pokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-chapter-320",473,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-cover.jpg"]
