Chapter 480

"I didn't expect that trainer to actually use Aggron. It seems this duel might be a bitter battle for Diantha."

The duel rules of the Battle Chateau are to touch the opponent with a Poké Ball before the duel starts, and then send out the Pokémon at the same time during the duel.

The trainer named Luke, after seeing the opponent was League Champion Diantha, sent out his strongest ace Pokémon, Aggron, without hesitation.

And what he didn't expect was that the Pokémon Diantha chose was Eevee, who had been lying on her shoulder just now.

It was also because of seeing this scene that the trainer named Luke was actually a bit angry.

Because in his view, Eevee had been lying on Diantha's shoulder before, and clearly, compared to a main Pokémon, Shengzai, this Eevee, had more of a pet nature.

And his Aggron is his ace Pokémon. Even if the other party is a League Champion, such behavior is a bit looking down on people.

In fact, when seeing the Pokémon sent out by both sides, it wasn't just Luke, who was Diantha's opponent, who had this thought.

After all, Aggron is a rare and powerful Pokémon, and its high base stat total even makes it called a "Pseudo-Legendary" Pokémon.

And compared to it, although Eevee is also quite rare, the level and base stat total of the two are simply not in the same dimension.

This is also why Viola and Drasna would both say that Diantha might fall into a bitter battle in this duel.

After all, because they know Diantha privately, Viola and Drasna know which main Pokémon she has.

And among these main Pokémon, clearly, there is no Eevee.

This also made them sure that Diantha came to the Battle Chateau with the intention of grinding experience for Eevee.

However, this actually can't blame Diantha; after all, who could have expected that as a trainer who doesn't even have a title in the Battle Chateau, she would send out a Pokémon like Aggron?

"Damn, actually daring to look down on us. I don't care if the other party is a League Champion or something."

"Aggron, use Metal Sound first!"

Accompanied by Aggron's claws rubbing, a burst of harsh noise instantly spread throughout the venue.

And at the same time, when Diantha heard the other party's words, she also showed a smile: "I won't act in a way that looks down on the opponent. You will soon understand that my Shengzai is completely different from ordinary Eevee."

"Shengzai, use Growl!"

Compared to the Steel-type Metal Sound, the Normal-type Growl is not on the same level.

However, now under Shengzai's roar, Metal Sound was incredibly offset by Growl.

"Use Mega Punch!"

Seeing Metal Sound being offset, the trainer named Luke also recognized what Diantha said just now and gave new attack instructions to his Aggron again.

"Use Iron Tail move!"

When hearing the instructions given by Diantha, Viola and the others watching the battle were also surprised.

Iron Tail, as a Steel-type move, is not false for being super effective against Steel and Rock-type Aggron.

But the body size gap and level between Eevee and Aggron are right there. Here, one should use Eevee's advantage of small body size to dodge, right?

Using "Iron Tail" to hard-steel the opponent's "Mega Punch," is this a mistake only a novice trainer would make?

"Boom——————!"

However, just as all the trainers watching the battle at the Battle Chateau thought Diantha made a bad move and Eevee, with its small body size, would be blasted away by Aggron's punch, a scene that made everyone drop their jaws appeared.

At the moment "Iron Tail" collided with "Mega Punch," the one that made a painful grunt and was forced back several meters into a disadvantage was not Eevee, but Aggron!

"I didn't see it wrong just now, right? Eevee used 'Iron Tail' to hard-steel Aggron's 'Mega Punch,' and under the collision of the moves, it was still the side occupying the advantage..."

"God, what level is that Eevee!"

Looking at Aggron, which slid back a full several meters, Luke was also extremely surprised, but he could no longer say anything about Diantha looking down on him.

This Eevee is a strong enemy! The League Champion's Pokémon is indeed different; even a small Eevee is cultivated to be so powerful.

"Aggron, use Hyper Beam!"

Luke was no longer underestimating the enemy but directly let his Pokémon use his most powerful move.

"Shengzai, evolve into Jolteon, and use Volt Tackle!"

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Shengzai directly evolved from Eevee into Jolteon on the spot and ran fast while wrapped in golden lightning.

When it rushed in front of Aggron, the big move "Hyper Beam" in its mouth was also sprayed out.

However, when "Hyper Beam" collided with Shengzai's Volt Tackle, the transparent energy beam was like a turbulent river blocked by a rock, directly splitting into two sides.

Everyone at the scene saw a golden beam of light rush into the sky, accompanied by Shengzai, wrapped in lightning, directly hitting Aggron's head.

Under a burst of thunder and lightning, in the next second, the huge Aggron also fell to the ground with a bang under a burst of black smoke.

"Aggron lost its fighting ability, so this duel is won by Ms. Diantha, and she obtains the title of 'Battle Baron'."

When hearing the result announced by the Battle Chateau butler, everyone at the scene reacted from the surprised state just now, and their faces still maintained an expression of disbelief.

Not to mention Eevee suddenly evolving into Jolteon in battle, such a powerful Pokémon Aggron actually lost its fighting ability in just one hit...

"Since I am a 'Battle Baron' now, then according to the rules of the Battle Chateau, I should be able to challenge a Battle Baron, right?"

"And if I win three games in a row, I can be promoted to 'Battle Viscount,' am I right?"

The Battle Chateau maid who just presented the Baron cape to Diantha was clearly stunned when hearing Diantha's words now.

However, soon, she still politely replied to Diantha's question: "It is like this, and there are quite a few Battle Barons at the scene today."

"Since that's the case, can I trouble you to help me arrange the next opponent?"

The Aggron just now was indeed quite good in strength, but it was still far from Diantha's expectations. The opponent she wants to find now is one that can let Shengzai exert a certain degree of strength.

"In terms of rules, consecutive duels are no problem... but if you want to be promoted to Battle Viscount, Baron Diantha, you need to win three more duels. Does your Pokémon need to rest to recover its stamina?"

Facing the maid's inquiry, Diantha also looked at Shengzai, and Shengzai directly used "Charge" to instantly recover the stamina consumed just now.

"As you can see, my Pokémon's stamina should still be quite abundant. Trouble you to help me arrange a new opponent."
