Ashida: "Oh...! Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!!"
Ashida was quite surprised; she hadn't expected Shigeru to ask for a change in the rules. He was really confident.
“Okay, we’ll do it your way,” Lila readily agreed.
As a trainer, when you encounter an opponent of equal strength, you naturally don't want to be bound by those rules; you just want to have a good, unrestrained battle.
"Then I will announce it again." The referee nodded and said, "The next match will be the pioneering battle between challenger Gary and Battle King. Both players can use three Pokémon, and they can switch Pokémon at will. Now, please release your Pokémon at the same time."
The words fell.
"Ibrahimovic, the starting position is in your hands."
Go forth, my friend!
Ibrahimovic charged from the control area into the field.
Lila then threw out a Poké Ball.
Baton!
Metagross, a pseudo-legendary Hoenn monster resembling a steel crab, makes its appearance.
[Level 64 Metagross/Champion]
If the first Pokémon sent out has champion potential, then the strength of the next two Pokémon will definitely not be lower than Metagross. If Lyra is given another five or six years, taking the position of Kanto League Elite Four will definitely not be a problem.
"It's Eevee!" Lila thought to herself in surprise.
Lila has Espeon, so she naturally knows Eevee very well. Eevee is really not qualified to participate in this kind of battle.
Seeing that both sides had sent out their Pokémon, the referee announced, "Ready...Go!!"
The words fell.
Xiao Mao immediately commanded, "High-Speed Star!"
"Bah!"
Eevee waved its tail, instantly condensing countless golden energy stars, which automatically rushed towards Metagross.
"Beta!"
Without giving any instructions, Metagross acted on its own, swinging one of its iron arms, which was covered with a layer of steel energy. The energy transformed into a comet, and as Metagross swung its iron arm, it shattered all the high-speed stars.
However, Swift was just a feint by Eevee. When Metagross destroyed Swift, Eevee quickly approached Metagross.
Lila frowned as she saw Eevee approaching, her mind becoming one with Metagross.
Metagross's eyes glowed blue as it unleashed a powerful burst of psychic energy. Eevee instantly sensed the danger, leaping to dodge the invisible psychic energy.
"what!"
"Bah!"
Lila and Metagross were both very surprised and couldn't believe that Eevee could dodge Psychic.
"Big Flame Burst!" Xiao Mao immediately launched an attack as well.
"Bah!"
Eevee spewed fire from its mouth, and a large ball of flame crashed down.
Boom! !
The massive area left Metagross nowhere to hide, and it was hit by the Flame Burst.
"What! It can unleash a massive fireball!!" Not only was Lila stunned, but Ashida was also dumbfounded.
"Bah!"
When the smoke cleared, Metagross hadn't fallen, but it had suffered considerable injuries from the massive fireball.
"Metamorphose, use High Speed to approach Eevee," Lila commanded.
Metagross used High Speed Boost, accelerating with the help of psychic energy, its figure constantly flashing around Eevee, but Eevee was completely unfazed and did not sense any danger.
"If you sense Metagross attacking, use Reflect to defend," Gary said.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Metagross appeared behind Eevee, its fist covered in thick Steel-type energy, and it punched towards Eevee like a comet.
Ibrahimovic suddenly turned around, conjuring a transparent reflective barrier.
Bah! !
Swampert's Comet Punch was blocked by the Reflector.
"Big characters burst into flames!"
Ibrahimovic unleashed another powerful burst of flame.
The two were very close, and Metagross had nowhere to hide, so it was hit 223 times again.
Boom! !
The large flames exploded, and Eevee was also thrown back by the shockwave.
"Bah da..."
The Metagross was panting heavily, having been hit by the Great Flame Burst repeatedly, and it was starting to feel the strain.
"Metamorphose is almost done for, let's go all out to finish it off!" Gary said, pressing his advantage.
"Bu-ee!!"
A burst of heat emanated from Eevee, transforming into flames that enveloped its entire body as it charged rapidly toward Metagross.
"Metamorphoses, use Hyper Beam!" Lila shouted urgently.
"Bah da!!"
Metagross opened its massive mouth, and an orange energy ball condensed inside. It then unleashed an orange beam of light towards Eevee.
Eevee dodged Hyper Beam with a lightning-fast movement.
"what!"
Lila was shocked. Eevee had dodged Metagross's attack once again. Its evasion rate was too high.
boom! !
Eevee rammed headfirst into Metagross's body. Despite its small size, Eevee still sent Metagross flying several meters away.
"Bah da!!"
The Metagross lay sprawled on the ground, its eyes closed, unable to stand up again.
"Metamorphose is unable to fight, Ibrahimovic wins!" the referee announced.
Lila stared at Eevee in disbelief; her Metagross had actually been defeated by an Eevee.
506: Banja ginseng
"It defeated Lila's Metagross so easily. This Eevee is really strong, and its evasion rate is too high. Is the Anticipation ability really that effective?" Ashida muttered to himself.
Eevee is a very common Pokémon, and most trainers are quite familiar with it. They also know that Eevee has the ability to anticipate danger, which allows it to predict the direction of an opponent's attack and thus increase its evasion rate.
Lila silently recalled Metagross, then sent out a second Pokémon.
"Go, my friend."
Baton!
The Poké Ball opened, and a ball of white light entered the arena. As the light faded, an elegant Espeon appeared.
【LV65 Sun Elf♀/Champion】
Lila's Espeon is also very powerful, with the potential to reach Champion level, and Espeon is also Lila's favorite Pokémon.
Ash's victory over this Espeon was entirely accidental. Even in a normal match, Ash had some advantages. If the battle had followed the rules of Gary's battle against Lyra, Ash would probably have been stuck in the Battle Tower for about a month.
"Ibu, use Thunderbolt!"
"Sun Spirit, dodge and then use your mental power!"
Shigeru and Lila issued commands one after the other.
Ibrahimovic unleashed a 100,000-volt attack.
Espeon was very fast and easily dodged Eevee's Thunderbolt, then used Psychic, which Eevee also dodged with a jump.
Xiao Mao immediately thought of Espeon's special ability, because Espeon is born with the ability to foresee danger, and since it is a Psychic-type Pokémon, if further development is carried out, Espeon's ability to dodge will be greatly enhanced.
"What a nimble Eevee!" Lila was equally surprised. After such a long battle, the only move her Pokémon had landed on Eevee was Metagross's Comet Punch, which was blocked by Reflect.
It can be seen that Gary's Eevee is similar to Lyra's Espeon in terms of evasion ability.
"Eevee, use Flamethrower!" Gary commanded.
"Bah!"
Ibrahimovic leaped up and unleashed a massive burst of flame, which covered an area of the field.
"Use Quick Attack to get to Eevee and attack with Iron Tail," Lila commanded.
Whoosh! !
The sun sprite ran off, leaving a trail of white light behind it.
Boom! !
The large characters exploded in flames, but missed their target and shattered.
Espeon also arrived below where Eevee had fallen, its forked tail turning into shimmering silver light as it leaped into the sky.
“We’ll use the Iron Tail too,” Shigeru commanded.
Eevee's tail also shimmered with silver light as it swung towards the charging Espeon, and it looked as if Eevee's Iron Tail was about to hit Espeon.
Suddenly, Espeon's body miraculously shifted backward in mid-air, causing Eevee's Iron Tail to miss. Immediately afterward, Espeon suddenly exerted force, lashing Eevee with its tail and sending Eevee flying high into the sky.
Shigeru realized that the Espeon could move through the air using telekinesis.
Unexpectedly, Lila's Sun Elf not only has a high evasion rate, but can also multitask, using telekinesis while casting other skills, which requires a lot of training to achieve.
Because the Sun Elf was closer to the ground, it landed first, and Lila pressed her advantage, shouting, "Now! Electromagnetic Cannon!"
