Chapter 562

~7 min read 1,227 words

Compared to Wallace, he relies more on the Rain system. The Scizor and Ferrothorn in his team both need Rain protection to avoid the fatal Fire-type weakness.

Although the opponent also looks like a pure Rain team, Ludicolo has the possibility of using Fire Punch.

Thinking even darker...

What if Wallace really hid a Hidden Power? The power of Hidden Power Fire is enough to deal 4x damage.

When facing an opponent who is clearly prepared, Xiang Qingyu, who has always sought stability, did not make any flashy commands, and didn't even think about who Wallace would send out first.

Anyway, let's establish an advantage first.

Both sides quickly determined their leads, and a white light flashed in front of the screen again.

Subsequently, the battle field appeared with some changes from before.

The surrounding scene is a white ancient castle that looks quite imposing, and even the audience around the field have become Trainers wearing various cloaks, with an aristocratic air.

【If I remember correctly, this version of the battle field is based on the Battle Chateau in Kalos? It really looks much more high-end!】

【It should be a change made to fit the Mega Evolution version. It's quite interesting.】

【Battle Chateau... As a result, the rank in the game didn't change? I remember the levels there go from Baron to Grand Duke?】

Many people in the Kalos region quickly recognized this familiar scene.

However, this is not the point.

After Xiang Qingyu and Wallace's virtual avatars appeared, both sides quickly threw out two Poké Balls, and red light immediately appeared in the center of the field.

On Xiang Qingyu's side, the Pelipper, which looked a bit silly, took the lead.

With its appearance, the Drizzle ability was immediately triggered, and a light rain began to fall over the field.

And on Wallace's side, it didn't exceed Xiang Qingyu's expectations.

He really didn't choose to send out Politoed as the lead, but chose Rotom very cunningly.

The reason is also very simple.

Since the opponent will also set up Rain, why not just take advantage of the opponent's?

With Rotom as the lead, it can also use Thunder to cause a terrifying threat to Pelipper.

However, the solution is actually very simple.

"Come back, Pelipper."

After the Rain started, its task was successfully completed, so Xiang Qingyu decisively withdrew his precious weather setter.

"Rotom, use Volt Switch!"

Wallace clearly anticipated this and decided to take advantage of the HP of the Pokémon Xiang Qingyu switched in, while also preserving this "Pelipper killer" that has a certain threat capability.

It's a pity that this was also within Xiang Qingyu's prediction.

After Pelipper was withdrawn, Swampert, one of the Hoenn starters, appeared.

Because Swampert's type is Water + Ground, it is naturally immune to Electric-type moves, so the Rotom rushing toward it didn't cause any damage.

The current swept over Swampert's body, only making it scratch its head in confusion, as if saying:

"The force is so light, didn't you eat dinner tonight?"

Xiang Qingyu smiled slightly and said what it was thinking.

"Because Swampert is immune to Electric-type moves, Rotom's Volt Switch has no effect at all."

"So accordingly, there is no way to use the attack gap to switch out."

Just as Xiang Qingyu explained, after the move was used, Rotom, which should have been switched out immediately, was stuck in place. It didn't retreat backward due to the recoil of the attack and enter the range where it could be safely switched out.

【666, so there is such an operation? Learned another little trick!】

【But it seems useless, Swampert's attacks can't do anything to Wash Rotom, they can only stare at each other...】

Water-type itself has a very balanced and comprehensive offense and defense, with few weaknesses on the defensive end. Coupled with Electric-type and Levitate, there is only one weakness left: Grass-type.

And Grass-type is also Swampert's lifelong enemy. Obviously, it is unlikely that it will suddenly pull out a Wood Hammer.

So it seems that neither side can do anything to the other.

However...

"It doesn't matter, since the situation is stuck, why not boost in place."

While Xiang Qingyu smiled slightly, his eyes gradually became serious.

Letting Swampert switch in was to lock the opponent's Rotom.

Facing an opponent that cannot pose a threat to it at all, Swampert can not only choose to boost itself with peace of mind, but also take the opportunity to show its wildest power.

"Swampert, break through your limits!"

Xiang Qingyu shouted suddenly.

With his voice, the Trainer avatar on the screen quickly reached out his left hand, revealing the shining Key Stone on his glove.

"Mega Evolution!"

The pillar of light formed by the evolution glow instantly engulfed Swampert.

Swampert, which had already completed three stages of evolution and theoretically had no further evolution potential, experienced a strange evolutionary phenomenon again at this time.

Wallace on the opposite side couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this.

Sure enough, Xiang Qingyu's understanding is highly consistent with his own. In the new version, they both tacitly chose Mega Swampert as the big brother of the Rain Team.

The reason is also very simple—

High power, Swift Swim ability, and a very wide range of attacks.

In singles, Mega Swampert's pressure is indeed terrifyingly strong.

However...

Under Steven's gaze, Wallace suddenly showed a somewhat dark smile.

"This time, it seems I am a step ahead, Teacher Yu!"

Swampert's combat power is indeed terrifying, but it is not without ways to deal with it.

"Rotom, use Will-O-Wisp!"

Wallace's command immediately made Steven raise his eyebrows.

Good guy, so sinister?

Rotom is a very special Pokémon. They are electronic ghosts that can enter home appliances and show different forms.

And as a ghost, even if it resides in a washing machine, they can normally use the Fire-type Will-O-Wisp move.

After all, this move has a deep relationship with ghosts.

And once Swampert falls into a burn state, continuous HP loss is a small problem, and even if it Mega Evolves, its output power will be greatly reduced.

It is equivalent to wasting one of Xiang Qingyu's trump cards, and the offensive firepower is basically cleared.

As for how the rain can release small flames without being extinguished by the rain...

If it can be used, it means it is reasonable!

However... will Xiang Qingyu be so easily tricked?

While Steven was thinking, Swampert on the screen had already completed Mega Evolution.

The muscles on both arms were extremely explosive, and its powerful fists were blocked in front in advance, as if it had made a defensive posture in advance.

"Sure enough... this kid Wallace is also rotten to the core."

Xiang Qingyu sighed.

This move couldn't have been taught by him again, right?

Although it is indeed a conventional operation, it is a bit unexpected for Xiang Qingyu that someone in the Pokémon world would use it.

However, it's not a big problem.

The Mega Evolution action is not long, strictly speaking, it is not a complete action, so he also has a chance to give commands.

Facing the Will-O-Wisp floating toward Swampert, Xiang Qingyu smiled slightly and said calmly:

"Swampert, Protect!"

The barrier formed by transparent energy blocked in front instantly, allowing Swampert to resist the negative effects of the Will-O-Wisp move and preserve its complete strength.
