Chapter 332: Leaf Eevee vs Super Armor Beast
Go, Leaf Eevee.
Huo La pulled a Pokeball from behind, flicked his wrist, and tossed it steadily.
A red light flashed, and a sleek emerald figure landed lightly—it was Leaf Eevee, standing face to face with a stark contrast.
The Super Armor Beast was massive and bulky, 2.6 meters tall and nearly 300 kg, like a moving hill; Leaf Eevee was only about a meter tall, weighing just 25.5 kg, appearing extremely tiny, as if a light step from the Super Armor Beast could crush it.
But Huo La knew clearly that the only Pokemon in his hand suitable to face the Super Armor Beast was Leaf Eevee.
Although its level 39 was far from the Super Armor Beast's level 50, the type advantage was concrete: Grass counters Ground and Rock, and with Leaf Eevee's moveset it had far better odds than Fireburst Beast or Soroa.
"Leaf Eevee?" Shan Kui looked at the emerald figure, eyes bright, and said with a grin, "You remind me of Captain Gangshi; he also has a Leaf Eevee."
Huo La's heart stirred, and he immediately spoke, his tone confident: "My Leaf Eevee was also trained for a while by Captain Gangshi; its strength isn't weak. Shanbei Owner, you'd better be careful."
His words were half true, half false.
Shan Kui lacked the ability to see Pokemon levels; normally he could only gauge strength from a Pokemon's presence and his own experience, so Huo La's remark both boosted himself and deliberately misled Shan Kui.
"Is that so?" Shan Kui's smile instantly faded, his expression markedly solemn, and he subconsciously patted the Super Armor Beast's leg, "Then I can't be careless. Super Armor Beast, get ready!"
The Super Armor Beast let out a low roar, its massive body sinking slightly, the snow beneath its feet crunching, its black‑red armor shell glinting with a cold sheen, ready for battle.
Huo La offered no further small talk, seized the moment, and issued the command firmly: "Leaf Eevee, use Sunny Day!"
As the words fell, Leaf Eevee lifted its head, let out a soft yet powerful Cry, and a faint golden light shimmered around it.
The previously overcast sky gradually cleared, shafts of sunlight pierced the clouds, spilling onto the Kuhan Huangdi and dispersing some chill.
What he wanted was to trigger Leaf Eevee's Leaf Guard and set the stage for Sunlight Blade; even a weak sun could give Leaf Eevee a better chance.
Shan Kui was startled, then recovered: "Sunny Day? You want to boost with sunlight? Super Armor Beast, don't give it a chance, use Heavy Stomp!"
"Super Armor Beast, use Heavy Stomp!"
As soon as Shan Kui's command fell, the Super Armor Beast violently lifted its sturdy hind leg and slammed it hard onto the ground.
"Boom—!" A massive roar shook the ground violently, the whole area trembling as snow cascaded off the ground, and distant Snow Peaks rumbled as if an avalanche could erupt at any moment.
Leaf Eevee happened to be at the center of the Heavy Stomp's impact; a jagged fissure raced along the ground toward it, and the tremendous force hurled the tiny Leaf Eevee skyward, its emerald form tracing an arc before crashing heavily onto the snow.
Fortunately, Leaf Eevee's agile body adjusted mid‑air, limbs slightly tucked, and it rolled several times upon landing, shedding most of the impact.
It shook its head, stood up with a few snowflakes on its fur, its breath a bit ragged but unharmed, and its amber eyes still stared resolutely at the Super Armor Beast.
"That was close!" Xiao Zhao, cradling Soroa, couldn't help exclaiming, her palms sweating, while Soroa nervously nudged her arm.
Huo La paused not at all and immediately gave the counter command: "Leaf Eevee, Seed Machine Gun!"
Leaf Eevee instantly understood, opened its mouth and spewed a dense hail of seeds like bullets, pouring toward the Super Armor Beast's body.
The Seed Machine Gun's attack was dense, "tap tap tap" landing on the Super Armor Beast, producing a rapid light clatter.
But the Super Armor Beast's black‑red armor shell was extremely hard; most seeds struck the armor, either bouncing off or being crushed, causing little damage;
Only a few seeds luckily hit gaps in the armor or the abdomen, barely leaving tiny wounds and inflicting a slight injury on the Super Armor Beast.
"Hmph, this little attack can't even hurt the Super Armor Beast!" Shan Kui proudly lifted his chin, "Super Armor Beast, now use Rock Blast!"
Before the Super Armor Beast could launch its attack, the Leaf Eevee that had just steadied after landing heard Huo La's urgent, firm command: "Leaf Eevee, Sunlight Blade!"
At this moment, the Sunny Day sunlight grew more intense, golden rays bathing Leaf Eevee, gathering along its fur into a dazzling energy.
As the light flickered, a sharp golden curved blade materialized before Leaf Eevee, its edge gleaming, wielding the sun's power, and it slashed fiercely toward the Super Armor Beast.
The Super Armor Beast was just about to gather rock energy when the golden blade flash struck, its massive body unable to fully evade, it tensed its muscles and used its hard armor to block the lethal blow.
"Clang—!"
A deep booming sound rang out, the hard armor was split cleanly, and an Energy Shock Wave radiated outward.
The Super Armor Beast's massive body was forced to stagger back, its sturdy hind legs carving two deep tracks in the snow before it could barely steady itself.
"It worked!" Xiao Zhao, holding Soroa, couldn't help shouting excitedly.
Huo La's gaze darkened, and he calmly said, "No, it's not enough."
This strike indeed broke the defense and caused damage, but against the thick‑skinned, level‑50 Super Armor Beast, it was merely a light wound, far from decisive.
