Chapter 482

The guardian deity of Lumiose City?

Hearing Drasna's address for him, a question mark appeared on Shengzai's forehead.

He had only stepped in to save Ash and put down the rampaging Garchomp when it went berserk; did he get such a title just because of that?

Looking at Drasna, who had taken the initiative to step down, Diantha also showed a hint of fighting spirit on her face and reminded Shengzai: "Be careful, the person who has come up this time is a true formidable enemy.

Drasna is a veteran member of the Kalos region's Elite Four. It is said that her hometown was originally in the Sinnoh region, and she seems to have some connection with the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia of the Sinnoh region.

And this is also the reason why she became a Dragon-type Pokémon trainer."

The League Elite Four, huh? That certainly counts as a formidable enemy...

"Then the Pokémon I want to send out is this child. Go, Altaria."

Accompanied by Drasna throwing the Poké Ball in her hand, a Pokémon with a sky-blue body and fluffy wings that looked like cotton appeared above the battle arena.

Although Altaria looked like it had nothing to do with dragons on the outside, its popularity was indeed that of a genuine Dragon and Flying-type Pokémon.

And judging from the Mega Stone worn around Altaria's neck, the opponent should also have mastered Mega Evolution.

Facing such a formidable enemy, Diantha became serious this time, and at the same time, she was quite happy in her heart.

If Drasna and Mega Altaria were her opponents, then the type-matching strategy she had been pondering in her heart should be able to be fully exerted.

"Shengzai, use 'Calm Mind' first!"

Among Pokémon moves, not all moves are used for attacking; there are also many moves used for support or to improve status.

Just like moves such as "Dragon Dance" and "Swords Dance," the "Calm Mind" that Shengzai was using now was one of them.

Drasna was initially puzzled as to why Diantha had Shengzai use a move to improve mental power right from the start; was she planning to let it recover the stamina it had consumed before?

In order to have a fairer duel, Drasna did not order Altaria to attack Shengzai.

But very quickly, Drasna discovered that Diantha's purpose in having Shengzai use "Calm Mind" was not as simple as she had imagined.

"Change evolution form, become Jolteon, use 'Charge' + 'Electric Terrain'!"

"Change evolution form, become Leafeon, use 'Synthesis' + 'Sunny Day'!"

"Change evolution form, become Umbreon, use 'Nasty Plot' + 'Moonblast'!"

"..."

Following Diantha's series of commands, let alone all the trainers watching the battle, even Drasna, who was Diantha's opponent, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

She had originally thought that Diantha having her Eevee use "Calm Mind" was to recover stamina.

But now it looked like, what the hell, this wasn't recovering stamina at all; it was completely stacking buffs!

Among Pokémon's status-changing moves, there are many that can increase one's own attack power and special attack.

And ordinary Pokémon can at most master one or two such status-changing moves.

But Shengzai, as an Eevee capable of freely transforming types, was undoubtedly special in its existence.

Although there are far more than eight types of Pokémon, the number of moves mastered by Shengzai's eight evolved forms was undoubtedly exaggerated.

Judging from the strength Shengzai had shown before, its level and attributes were already very high.

Now, if it were to stack various special attack, defense, and recovery buffs, wouldn't even a Mythical Pokémon have to kneel!

And in formal Pokémon battles, field skills like "Electric Terrain" and "Sunny Day" have effects that remain on the field.

Once various attribute fields favorable to oneself were constructed, combined with Shengzai's advantage of being able to switch types at will, wouldn't this be an easy sweep of six?

For example, "Electric Terrain" and "Leech Seed" would cause certain damage to the opponent's Pokémon on the field, while Shengzai would recover in fields like "Sunny Day" and "Rain Dance." With such a great difference in attrition, its endurance could definitely only be described as terrifying!

"Altaria, use Dragon Pulse!"

After realizing Diantha's intention, Drasna naturally did not have the slightest hesitation and immediately had Altaria launch a fierce attack on Shengzai.

Just kidding, any trainer with a little experience could see that fighting a war of attrition with this Eevee was definitely stupid.

Once the opponent finished stacking various buff moves, combined with various attribute field moves, and its ability to change types at will, in its home field, even a legendary Pokémon might not be its opponent.

"Shengzai, change form, become Sylveon, use Fairy Wind to intercept!"

As everyone knows, the Fairy type is super effective against the Dragon type, so Altaria's Dragon Pulse was easily blocked by Shengzai's Fairy Wind.

And after blocking the opponent's Dragon Pulse, Diantha did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead had Shengzai use another Fairy-type status-changing move, "Misty Terrain."

"Use 'Work Up', use 'Sleep Talk', use 'Endure'!"

While Shengzai used flexible positioning and coordination with "Misty Terrain" to dodge Altaria's attacks, it was constantly using status-changing moves to stack buffs.

Realizing that if this continued, she would definitely lose, Drasna soon stopped hesitating and raised the Key Stone on her wrist.

"Altaria, Mega Evolve!"

Accompanied by a burst of light enveloping Altaria, and following a cry that resounded through the sky, the Mega-Evolved Altaria made a brilliant appearance.

Mega Altaria looked more like a huge ball of cotton; its tail became longer, and the originally white and fluffy feathers were distributed in large numbers on its back, no longer distributed on its chest.

"Mega Altaria, use Draco Meteor!"

This was another big Dragon-type move. Accompanied by a huge energy ball sprayed from Mega Altaria's mouth into the sky, when the energy ball reached a certain height, it suddenly turned into a group of meteors, directly covering and striking the entire battle arena.

"Shengzai, the opportunity has arrived! Sylveon, Mega Evolve, and use Dazzling Gleam!"

"Misty Terrain" was instantly blasted into a mess under the attack of the Draco Meteor shower, and the entire battle arena also appeared with many large and small craters under the bombardment of the meteor shower.

However, in a cloud of dust that filled the air, the Sylveon that had completed Mega Evolution suddenly rushed out of the dust, and a pink super energy ball in its mouth directly blasted toward the caught-off-guard Mega Altaria in the air!

"Mega Altaria, use Cotton Guard!"

Hearing Drasna's command, Mega Altaria immediately shrank its body into the cotton, making itself a big cotton ball at this moment.

However, it was a pity that "Dazzling Gleam" was originally a Fairy-type big move that was super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon, plus the series of buffs Shengzai had stacked before.

So after taking this hit, Mega Altaria still let out a cry of sorrow and fell directly from the air.
