Chapter 67 Dragon Crossing: Why did you come out as soon as you saw a flying-type move?
"Bluebird of Tanabata, turn the tide!"
Shi Xintong loosened her grip on the keystone.
The Poké Ball in his hand was thrown forward and suddenly opened in mid-air.
"Seven Drinks~"
A blue bird-like Pokémon with wings wrapped in cotton spread its wings and soared into the air, facing off proudly against Naganadel.
Pokémon: Altaria
[Attribute: Dragon, Flying]
[Level: 38]
【Characteristic: Irrelevant to weather】
[Moves: Dragon Dive (inherited), Clear Fog (inherited), Tailwind (inherited), Roost (inherited)... others omitted.]
The Tanabata's unique characteristic is that it is unaffected by weather!
This effectively shut down Li Luochen's expertise in "weather" tactics.
Judging from Shi Xintong's confident demeanor, she probably already knew how to counter most of Li Luochen's tactics.
"Hmm? Not starting with Mega Evolution?"
Li Luochen raised an eyebrow, but upon further reflection, it made perfect sense.
Super Altaria is a Dragon/Fairy type. Although it is immune to Dragon-type moves, it is also vulnerable to Poison-type moves.
When facing a Najacacles, it's better to start with a normal battle.
As for the super evolution, it's not bad to consider it a finishing move.
"Highly poisonous!"
Li Luochen still uses the classic starting move of a Poison-type Pokémon.
The four-jawed needle dragon raised its needle, spewing out highly venomous explosives and unleashing a toxin that nearly blotted out the entire sky above the gym.
Shi Xintong lightly raised her jade-like finger and pointed it forward with force: "Qixi Bluebird, use your mysterious protection to block it!"
The Qixi Bluebird's wings protect its body, and a thick green membrane safeguards its entire body. When a deadly poison falls on it, it seems to be isolated, but when it falls to the ground, it corrodes the earth!
Mysterious Guardian: When used, it can prevent your party from falling into abnormal statuses for a short period of time.
This move is the best alternative to "Taunt" against Pokémon with "Poison, Substitute, and Protect".
After releasing the mysterious guardian, the next step is naturally to attack.
Shi Xintong raised her beautiful eyes slightly and suddenly shouted, "Twinkle Bluebird, while the poison is still raging, use Dragon Pulse to counterattack!"
"Seven Drinks~"
The Qixi Bluebird opened its beak, and the dragon-type energy compressed into a ball of light. A ferocious phantom dragon head, accompanied by a loud dragon roar, attacked, smashing almost all the poison in its path, and headed straight for the Four-jawed Needle Dragon!
"In that case, let's use Dragon Pulse!"
After its ability is triggered, Naganadel's Special Attack is far beyond what is expected.
With its pinhole pointed in front of it, a dragon wave, far exceeding the scale released by the Tanabata Bird, suddenly erupted, crushing the incoming dragon phantom in an instant!
The Dragon Pulse of the Four-Jagdala is too fast; even if Altaria can use "Moon Power," it is not confident that it can successfully release it before the attack arrives.
Shi Xintong made a decision instantly, choosing to avoid the brunt of the attack: "Twinkle Bluebird, use the 'tailwind' to avoid the range of the Dragon's Pulse!"
"Seven Drinks~"
Hoo-cha!
Almost the instant it flapped its wings, a gust of wind blew around the Altaria. Using this airflow, its flight speed suddenly increased dramatically, and it almost grazed the edge of the Dragon Pulse to avoid the attack!
Boom!
The dragon's energy surged violently across the earth, creating a series of explosions.
"How terrifying..."
Looking at the site below, which could almost be described as "ruins," Shi Xintong and Qixi Qingniao couldn't help but swallow hard.
[What a brilliant move, seizing the opportunity perfectly! That was a great use of the momentum.]
【Hey Dodo, what are you commenting on? You don't praise your own nephew's Dragon-type moves, but you're praising the little girl's Tailwind, huh?】
Why is Dodo called the Dodo Bird? There are just a lot of Flying-type Pokémon, and their names all have "dragon" in them! Charizard, Gyarados, Aerodactyl...
[A sophisticated troll has arrived, and you haven't let him off the hook either.]
Yu Longdu's comment made everyone laugh.
But more than anything, people praised Shi Xintong.
To receive praise from Lance, the "King of Flying," is something many Flying-type trainers dream of.
Remembering the red light that appeared on Naganadel's body when it defeated Gardevoir, Shi Xintong immediately identified her target and tried to bring Naganadel's abilities back to normal: "Aladdin, use the Black Mist move!"
With the wind at its back, the Tanabata bird moves faster, and even the speed at which it condenses energy is much faster than before.
With a flap of its wings, countless black mists erupted from the cotton and raged toward the Four-jawed Needle Dragon!
"Dragon Pulse"
Before the black mist of the Qixi Bluebird could envelop them, Li Luochen immediately gave the order to unleash a high-damage attack before his abilities could be fully restored.
"Naga!"
This time, the four-jawed needle dragon also knew that the situation was urgent, and even the secondary needles on both sides of the main needle began to gather energy.
With all three beams striking simultaneously, a dazzling seven-colored beam of light seemed to pierce through space, even twisting and deforming in mid-air, transforming into a long dragon with dancing claws, forcefully breaking through the air!
At the same time, the Jaw-Stinger was also shrouded in black mist, and its ability to rise instantly dropped to zero.
"Phew... Tanabata Bluebird, it's time!"
Seeing the attack coming, Shi Xintong knew she could no longer hide. She gripped the keystone in front of her chest with both hands, and a blinding burst of light suddenly erupted in front of everyone!
Answer my heart! Let the storm transform into stars, let us surpass our limits, and take that first step towards the summit!
"Seven drinks!!!"
The man and the bird spoke with great enthusiasm.
After a brief chant, Shi Xintong raised her arm high, and several fine threads of the keystone in her palm flowed out, connecting with the super stone hidden in the cotton by the Qixi Bluebird!
Seven-colored light enveloped the Qixi Bluebird, and a faint energy phantom resembling an eggshell could be seen!
"Holy crap, is Li Luochen really going to turn the tables this time? This is Mega Evolution! No matter how strong Naganadel is, it can't beat a Mega Evolved Altaria, right?"
"If the Jawless Needle Dragon's ability enhancement was still there, it would be fine, but now it has been affected by the black mist, and its ability has returned to its original state. Compared with the Mega Evolution Altaria, it is still at a great disadvantage."
"If Naganadel is defeated, won't it be even harder for Li Luochen's remaining four Pokémon to defeat Mega Altaria?!"
Everyone present knew what types Li Luochen's other four Pokémon were.
If it gains a slight type advantage, Naganadel will fall, and the other Pokémon will definitely have a harder time dealing with Mega Altaria!
"Seven drinks!"
The light faded, and with a cracking sound of an eggshell, the original Tanabata disappeared.
Instead, a brand new bird Pokémon was created.
Compared to before, its skin appears lighter, and the cotton covering its body is more fluffy and larger, almost completely covering its hindquarters.
And its short tail became long and flowing, like a ribbon.
Super Qixi Bluebird, here I come!
"You're the most amazing person my age I've ever met who could push me to this point."
Seemingly due to undergoing a super evolution, Shi Xintong became arrogant, feeling that everything in front of her was nothing special and could be destroyed with a wave of her hand.
This is the confidence that super evolution has given her.
"If you think you can defeat me by relying on Mega Evolution, you are sorely mistaken."
