Chapter 536: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 256

"..."

Lance also quickly understood the opponent's idea, and his eyes suddenly carried a bit of pity.

With Team Rocket's intelligence network rooted in the local area, it seems they really can't know Xiang Qingyu's specific information, so...

They don't know how illegal his Pokémon are.

If Giovanni underestimates the enemy, Lance even feels that Xiang Qingyu might have a chance to win against him in a one-on-one.

"Giovanni is left to you, Teacher Yu!"

After dodging the poison spit by Archer's Arbok, Lance took the opportunity to look back and speak to Xiang Qingyu.

Xiang Qingyu understood instantly in his heart.

Good guy, playing Tianji horse racing here?

Intending to use two executives to hold back the opponents respectively, and then Giovanni will deal with him first and then go to help?

But you wouldn't really treat me as a soft persimmon, would you!

Staring at the Rhyperior that was as high as a mountain peak, Xiang Qingyu quickly smiled.

Really looked down upon!

"Ogerpon, use Ivy Cudgel!"

Giovanni's most well-known title is "Giovanni of the Earth," because he has a Ground-type army with extremely strong strength and combat power not losing to the Elite Four.

The physique of this Rhyperior, which far exceeds ordinary individuals, is also evident.

However...

Rhyperior, right, eat my Ivy Cudgel first!

"Rhyperior, take the opponent's move hard, and then use Earthquake."

Behind him, Giovanni's voice was extremely flat, seemingly not taking Xiang Qingyu's Pokémon to heart.

Although he didn't specifically learn about this "Teacher Yu" who was far away in Paldea, Giovanni still heard a little bit of information about him.

For example, counting from inheriting the gym, Xiang Qingyu has been a Trainer for less than a year.

Even if his talent is strong, being able to grow into an eight-gym leader has some moisture, and it is very likely the result of Champion Geeta letting go to cultivate newcomers.

So, without a doubt, he will be the breakthrough point among the three.

For this day, he had been planning for many years.

Just a newcomer, wanting to block his path forward is simply wishful thinking.

Giovanni thought to himself, and quickly issued instructions again.

"Diglett, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, use Earthquake together with Rhyperior."

As "Giovanni of the Earth," Giovanni had already formed his own unique understanding of the use of Earthquake moves.

In wild battles, relying on Earthquakes released rhythmically, not only is the lethal range huge, but it can also make connections between moves, playing a role similar to magnitude improvement, and the aftermath of each Earthquake can further amplify the next Earthquake.

"Roar——!"

Hearing the instruction, Rhyperior immediately smashed his fists against his chest heroically, and at the same time, his footsteps began to become heavier.

At the same time, Ogerpon had already picked up her Ivy Cudgel, and the mask that looked like crying quickly gave birth to countless water currents, which naturally slid to Ogerpon's arms and quietly wrapped around the Ivy Cudgel.

The plain-looking close-range attack did not attract Rhyperior's attention at first.

After all, the size gap is here, and he is known for being thick-skinned, known as the copper wall and iron wall of Viridian Gym, very suitable for the playstyle of relying on physical fitness to take the opponent's attack hard and then make a counterattack immediately.

It also happens to make up for the speed disadvantage brought by his own size.

All along, Rhyperior has been sitting firmly as Giovanni's main force, even regarded as the middle strength of the team, and countless Pokémon have fallen under his hands.

However...

"Poni oh!!!"

When Ogerpon truly entered the attack range, stepped heavily on the ground, jumped high, held the Ivy Cudgel tightly with both hands, and attacked him with the posture of splitting Huashan, Rhyperior suddenly trembled all over.

The terrifying pressure spread immediately, making the alarm bell ring in his heart instantly.

No, something is wrong!

This move is definitely not simple!

Rhyperior subconsciously stopped the action of continuing to use moves, gritted his teeth, protected his hands in front of him, and prepared to gather his strength to resist Ogerpon's attack.

It was also at the moment he instinctively prepared to defend that Ogerpon's Ivy Cudgel had already smashed down.

Boom——!!!

The instantly erupted sound wave almost materialized, raising countless dust on the gym floor that was already riddled with holes.

In the sand and dust, a huge figure flew backward suddenly, smashed heavily against the wall, and then fell to the ground dejectedly, startling the dust again.

This stick directly made Rhyperior widen his eyes, and the two thick arms protecting his front were already bloody and fleshy, and soon lost consciousness, hanging down to the ground powerlessly.

Although the blow just now didn't seem to be fatal directly, clearly he had no combat power for the time being.

"..."

Giovanni looked back subconsciously, and when he noticed the miserable state of Rhyperior, whom he trusted so much, even with the expression management ability he had mastered after being the boss of Team Rocket for many years, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The power of this stick was clearly something he hadn't expected at all.

He could tell that the Pokémon called Ogerpon just now should have used some kind of Water-type move.

Although the power of the earth is powerful, it also has its own weaknesses.

Especially Rhyperior, which has a composite type of Ground and Rock, is extremely countered by Grass and Water types.

However, due to Rhyperior's extremely strong body strength, coupled with the hard rocks covering his body forming a natural buffer, even more fatal moves generally cannot directly hurt him.

Perhaps there is only one explanation for the situation in front of him—

Xiang Qingyu's Pokémon has a real combat power completely not inferior to Rhyperior, and even stronger than him.

That's why he could break through this first line of defense in one breath by relying on the strength gap and his own underestimation of the enemy.

But isn't Xiang Qingyu a newcomer who has been a Trainer for less than a year?

Is there a problem with the intelligence?

When Giovanni was confused, Lance, who was entangled with Archer, also noticed Rhyperior flying backward and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Sure enough, Giovanni, this old kid, is definitely not Xiang Qingyu's true fan, just coveting Teacher Yu's tactics!

If you pay attention to "Qunqing Zhiyu" early enough, you will know that this Ogerpon has the glorious record of 1v4 crushing the four legendary existences in the Crown Tundra...

Her real combat power is not weaker than any Elite Four's ace, and even Giovanni suffered a big loss under the underestimation of the enemy.

Didn't expect it, actually Xiang Qingyu is the most underhanded one!

However, although Rhyperior temporarily lost his combat power, the other Pokémon in front of Giovanni were also ready for battle.

Centered on Giovanni, the shock wave formed by the three Pokémon stepping on the ground quickly extended into the ground, causing violent tremors on the ground, and quickly began indiscriminate strikes on any creature in the vicinity.

However, Giovanni and his Pokémon at the center of the Earthquake were unharmed due to the mutual cancellation of energy, and even under the trembling of the earth, Giovanni remained motionless, as if his feet were rooted in the ground.

Giovanni of the Earth, well-deserved!

"Tsk..."

"Lucario, Sylveon, jump up and use Protect toward the ground!"

Xiang Qingyu reacted immediately, issued instructions directly, and retreated a few steps decisively.

No wonder Giovanni is the strongest Gym Leader in Kanto...

This rogue Earthquake is too unsolvable in wild battles, directly coming for the Trainer!

If Xiang Qingyu were a super Kanto person, he would probably have rushed up with his Pokémon against the impact of the Earthquake at this time.

But it's a pity that he doesn't have such an outrageous physique; if he is hit by continuous Earthquakes, he might faint directly.

Just as Xiang Qingyu retreated, he suddenly felt an invisible force seemingly lifting him, and then his body actually floated uncontrollably, easily dodging the impact of the Earthquake.

"Mew~"

Although he didn't find Mew's figure around, Xiang Qingyu vaguely heard a cat meow with a chuckle in his ear.

Usually a street-roaming, unserious look, Mew is still quite reliable at critical moments...

Xiang Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

After hitting Rhyperior away with one stick, Ogerpon also reacted quickly, immediately took small steps, and slid to hide in the defensive wall formed by Sylveon and Lucario.

The aftermath of the Earthquake quickly subsided, Xiang Qingyu still maintained a floating posture, stretched out his finger to make a spirited command:

"Ogerpon, continue to attack with Ivy Cudgel!"

"Sylveon, use Magical Leaf continuously to suppress the opponent!"

"Lucario, follow Ogerpon and charge Aura Sphere!"

After continuous commands, Xiang Qingyu's three Pokémon acted one after another.

"Bui!"

Sylveon took the lead, used her four ribbons to condense energy respectively, and the countless Magical Leaves that quickly locked onto the opponent formed a saturation offensive, flying toward the direction where Giovanni's army was located at extreme speed.

"Nidoking, Nidoqueen, take turns using Hyper Beam to clear the threat."

Because of the dumb loss earlier, this time Giovanni was obviously much more cautious.

After receiving the order, Nidoking took the lead in charging, quickly blasted a white beam of amazing momentum from his mouth, and instantly blasted the incoming Magical Leaves into ashes.

Nidoqueen followed closely, forming a crossfire, and easily resolved the incoming Magical Leaf offensive.

"Diglett, use Sand Tomb to create a sand pit to temporarily control the opponent."

Giovanni made a judgment calmly again.

The Diglett that appeared quickly shrank back into the ground, quickly bombarded the earth on Ogerpon's path, forming a sand pit that was easy to fall into, making Ogerpon stop her footsteps subconsciously.

The continuous attacks were resolved by Giovanni, but Xiang Qingyu's side was not panicked at all.

Because, the real offensive has been charged!

"Lucario!"

Lucario, who had been following Ogerpon, jumped high suddenly, and a powerful Aura energy had already condensed between his hands, and with his shooting action, he locked onto the opponent immediately.

Boom——!

The Aura Sphere was fired like a cannonball, the speed was even so fast that the naked eye could hardly observe it, and the target was Giovanni behind Nidoking and Nidoqueen!

It's working!

The corner of Xiang Qingyu's mouth quickly raised an arc.

The previous attacks were all inducing Giovanni; this is his real killer move.

Since he is playing wild battles, Xiang Qingyu still understands the truth of catching the thief first and catching the king.

However, facing the Aura Sphere attacking him at extreme speed, Giovanni was not panicked at all, and even like Xiang Qingyu, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Soon, Xiang Qingyu knew where his confidence lay—

When the Aura Sphere was about to hit the opponent, a powerful mental energy exploded instantly, not only directly bouncing the Aura Sphere away, blasting a deep pit on the ceiling, but also revealing a figure that Xiang Qingyu was very familiar with.

A humanoid Pokémon wearing heavy armor and releasing pressure outward unconsciously blocked in front of Giovanni.

With its appearance, the surrounding Pokémon felt a terrifying invisible pressure.

Even Lance and Sabrina, who were fighting with Team Rocket executives, looked over subconsciously.

Xiang Qingyu could naturally recognize this figure.

It is exactly Mewtwo, the goal of him and Mew appearing in Kanto this time, who is currently controlled by Giovanni! ===== CHAPTER 538 =====
