Chapter 224

Pokemon: Sliggoo (♀)

Type: Steel + Dragon

Form: Galarian

Ability: Intimidate

Level: 84 (Champion)

Moves: Rain Dance, Iron Tail, Protect, Acid Bomb, Feint Attack, Tearful, Dragon Breath, Leech, Safeguard, Water Pulse, Dragon Pulse, Iron Head, Stone Edge, Whirlpool, Heavy Slam, Roar of Time;

Special Ability: Time Power (Basic)

IVs: 6v

Base Stats: Total 660, HP 100, Attack 80, Defense 120, Sp. Atk 150, Sp. Def 120, Speed 90,

……

Sliggoo's change completely caught Ash off guard.

Ash had thought Sliggoo would only inherit part of Dialga's base stats, raising the 600 total slightly from its original.

Unexpectedly, even Dialga's ability, signature move, stat distribution, and even its rule authority were inherited.

The Galarian Sliggoo's current base stats resemble those of the original Dialga, with Attack reduced by 20 points.

Compared to the original,

HP 80, Attack 100, Defense 100, Sp. Atk 110, Sp. Def 150, Speed 60,

The current Sliggoo is undoubtedly extremely perfect,

HP 100, Attack 80, Defense 120, Sp. Atk 150, Sp. Def 120, Speed 90,

HP increased, balanced and non‑overflowing dual resistances, useful non‑physical attacks, explosive physical attacks, and a mid‑high speed tier.

This allocation directly turns a pure magic tank, previously only suitable against certain spellcasters and of low versatility, into a top‑tier.

It leaps to become a team's main carry, a core damage dealer, a highly versatile heavy‑armored spell warrior.

However,

The reduction in Sp. Def does not mean Sliggoo's damage‑taking ability is truly weaker than before.

Not to mention HP rose by 20 points,

which largely compensates for the 30‑point cut to Sliggoo's Sp. Def.

Relying solely on Intimidate's universal stat reduction is enough to make Sliggoo's tankiness far exceed its previous level.

Right now, Ash is even more curious about what this Time Power that Sliggoo wields actually is.

"Sliggoo~"

Sitting down with a thud, the Panting Sliggoo says it doesn't know either.

"Then let's test it in real battle."

As Sliggoo's level skyrocketed to Champion, Ash truly has no suitable opponent of the same level.

However,

Ash not having one himself doesn't mean he doesn't have another in his hand.

Pokemon: Ice Eevee (♀)

Type: Ice

Ability: Snow Cloak 2 (70% chance to evade attacks in hail, movement speed increased to 1.75× in hail)

Level: 90 (Champion)

IVs: 6v

Base Stats: Total 525, HP 65, Attack 60, Defense 110, Sp. Atk 130, Sp. Def 95, Speed 65,

The peak Champion Ice Eevee,

is precisely the target Kona asked him to help train,

Although not a mainstay of Kona's frontline, it is exceptionally talented and received Kona's focused cultivation.

"Serena, your Articuno also has Snow Cloak, so you should command this battle."

The Ice Eevee, looking fox‑like and as if wearing a double‑layer braided cold‑proof hat, instinctively looked at Serena.

Proud as she is, she wouldn't obey a newcomer like Serena's command,

but,

upon hearing Ash's words and learning that Serena is Articuno's trainer, she changed her mind.

She voluntarily stepped in front of Serena.

"May I?"

Serena's hesitant voice came, noting that unlike a coordinator, she would need to fight in the second turn,

the performer truly has nothing to do with battle,

Last time at Fengyuan, she was already strained; now the opponent is Ash, and she must command Kona's Champion Pokemon.

Serena was indeed a bit nervous,

unaware of Ice Eevee's actual command skill, she thought Serena was merely seeking her opinion,

because she feared rejection, she was so nervous,

so she couldn't help but speak up to comfort~

"Ice..."

During the process, Ash's Progress was also not smooth, mainly because Sliggoo, due to its past weakness, was somewhat resistant and fearful of battle,

considering Ash's kindness toward it,

he not only gave it a Galarian Stone, allowing its power to continuously rise, evolving it to its final stage,

He also gave her a Diamond Jewel fragment, increasing her strength further and letting her learn many new things, giving her a feeling of overwhelming power, as if no one could rival her.

Goodra finally overcame its inner demon, deciding to follow Ash's arrangement and battle the Ice Eevee commanded by Serena.

Seeing Serena's nervousness, Ash smiled and tried to comfort her.

"Don't be nervous, Serena; this is just a private match, you attack first."

"Okay, Ice Eevee, Snow Scene!"

Influenced by Ash and the Pokémon PVP game, Serena, who understood the importance of weather, immediately seized control of the weather.

"Goodra, can you use Time Power on Ice Eevee? For example, make her movements faster or slower."

Ash asked tentatively.

"Good~ra~"

A hint of doubt flashed across Goodra's big, watery eyes, and sensing something, it exerted a force on Ice Eevee.

Visible to the naked eye,

In everyone's sight, a large clock effect appeared behind Ice Eevee,

Click-click-click!

The sound of the clock hands moving rang out,

Following that, the snow scene that should have taken a few more seconds to condense was instantly condensed.

"Could this be Time Power?"

"Unbelievable, such an extraordinary power actually exists in the world!"

Just as everyone was marveling,

"Blizzard!"

At Serena's command, Ice Eevee launched an attack, condensing a dense and fierce blizzard current in the air that surged toward Goodra.

Goodra saw the feared ice and snow approaching,

mistaking itself for the weak Goomy, it instantly shut its eyes in fear and raised its hands to protect its cheeks.

At the same time, it lowered its head, turned, and placed its massive metallic tail shell in front of itself.

And meanwhile,

another clock effect appeared,

Click-click-click!

The rapidly descending blizzard suddenly seemed to be under an immobilization spell, being fixed in place.

A few seconds passed,

The blizzard proved to everyone that it was still moving, only at a speed comparable to marching in place.

"This ability can also affect techniques!?"

The aloof Ice Eevee was completely bewildered, what on earth is happening?

The skeptical Ice Eevee spat an ice beam at the blizzard in the air!

The bluish‑green ice beam, upon nearing the blizzard's area, instantly seemed to enter a stalled state.

Is this immobilizing the entire area's space?

"Good~ra~"

After a long time with no pain, Goodra dubiously lifted its head.

Looking at the blizzard immobilized in the air, Goodra let out a timid, weak, and doubtful sound.

However,

Goodra's Time Power, after all, is only elementary,

having used it twice in a row, plus the overlay of the blizzard and ice beam techniques, it accelerated the consumption of Goodra's internal Time Power.

Soon, the blizzard and ice beam again moved at high speed,

straight toward Goodra, who stood upright with a doubtful expression……
