Chapter 374 Swampert: The rainy day is over? You are no match for me!
“Ice-walking puppet, freeze-dried!”

Freeze Dry, an ice-type move, deals quadruple damage to Swampert. Similarly, the combination of Water + Grass and Water + Flying Pokémon deal quadruple damage. These moves are specifically designed to target Water Pokémon.

It was obvious that Red was planning to use this trick to catch Swampert by surprise.

Trainers who are not good at using Ice-type Pokémon might actually be confused by this move.

“Freeze-dried…”

The ice-walking puppet swung the crutch in his hand, and a chill instantly emerged on the field. Under the rain, the snowflakes instantly turned into ice and flew towards Swampert.

“Run and use the tile-splitting technique!”

Swampert reacted quickly, spreading his legs and rushing forward. Facing the coldness in the air, he naturally felt a little uncomfortable and stayed away from the icicles.

On a rainy day, Swampert perfectly avoided the attack of the Ice Doll.

But the attack of the Ice Dolls is not as simple as it seems. The rain soaked the land, and the ground solidified rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a battle field that is the favorite of ice-type Pokémon.

Swampert’s moving feet were also bound by ice, affecting its movement in the rain.

Red’s purpose is obvious, to rely on the ice ground to forcibly limit Swampert’s movement speed.

On the ice, Swampert’s movements are definitely not as free as those of the Ice-Treading Doll.

When Swampert was restrained in place, Red spoke:
“Ice-walking puppet! Move freely on the ice.”

“Ouch~”

The ice-walking doll slid on the ice. Drops of rain hit the ice, which actually made the ice surface more lubricated. The ice-walking doll only needed to use a little bit of effort to slide past Swampert.

In contrast, Swampert can only look around passively, waiting for the Ice Doll’s attack.

His eyes were fixed on the figure that flashed by, and his fists were clenched tightly, determined to teach this guy who liked to slide a lesson.

“Blast the ground and create broken rocks!” Bai Yu said.

Swampert could no longer control his emotions and raised his right fist to smash it towards the ground.

Fighting-type Rock Crusher.

This move was specially used to shatter those big rocks. After being hit by this attack, the ice surface shattered like a spider web with the point where the fist landed as the center. Countless ice cubes flew towards the sky. Swampert stared with burning eyes at the ice-walking puppet in front of him who was holding a cane to resist the damage.

“Spiritual venue!”

While the ice-walking puppet used its crutches to resist, a yellow light rose from its body. The next moment, a pink aura surged on the field, covering the entire field, and then dissipated.

The psychic-type spirit field is a field specially provided for psychic-type Pokémon. When fighting in this field, the power of the psychic moves released will be increased by 30%.

If one venue doesn’t work, try another one. Chihong is steadily planning the venues.

Looking at the extra space on the field, Swampert showed some discomfort, feeling that something in his body was restricted. His eyes quickly locked onto the direction of the Ice-Stepping Doll, and Bai Yu immediately said, “Swampert, Rockfall!”

“Giant Swamp~”

Swampert let out a muffled roar, and a large rock gathered around its body. He stretched out his hand and punched to shatter the rock. The next second, the rock was shattered into countless pieces and violently crashed towards the direction of the Ice-Walking Doll.

Rockfall of rock system.

Logically, the damage of sharp stone attacks should be higher, and the same sharp stone attacks are also easier to dodge. In comparison, the effect of rock collapse will be greater.

“Stop him and use your mental strength!” Chihong said in a deep voice.

A pink light flashed in the eyes of the Ice-Walking Doll, and in an instant, all the rocks that rushed up from the air were nailed in mid-air. As the Ice-Walking Doll waved the crutches in its hand, the rocks turned around and launched a fierce attack in the direction of Swampert.

After releasing Rockslide, Swampert took advantage of the Rockslide attack and sprinted forward. At this moment, facing the numerous rocks attacking it, he dodged them flexibly.

With the help of rain to nourish its body, Swampert didn’t feel tired at all at this moment and its speed was surprisingly fast.

Swampert kept approaching the Ice Doll.

Three meters… Two meters…

When only the last meter was left, Chihong spoke first:
“Wide area combat power!”

Wide-area combat power is a move specially prepared for the spirit field. In the spirit field, when dealing with Pokémon on the ground, the damage caused will be further increased to 50%. It has a unique effect in doubles and can attack all targets on the field.

“Climb the waterfall!”

The wide-area combat power instantly covered Swampert’s entire body, and a look of pain appeared on Swampert’s face.

Swampert raised his head and roared, holding up his body and absorbing this wide-range combat power. He lowered his head, surrounded by layers of water in his right fist, and suddenly rushed forward at close range.

boom!
A heavy punch instantly hit the ice-walking puppet.

The wide-area combat power was interrupted, and the body of the ice-walking puppet was blown into the air and fell heavily to the ground.

The rain has stopped!
…

“The damage of Waterfall Climb is not low. With the blessing of rain, its power is even higher. What’s more, the giant Swampert on the field has entered mega form, and its power has undergone earth-shaking changes.”

Dandi frowned. He had a grass-type Pokémon in his hand. If he really encountered Swampert, he could still rely on Groot to restrain it.

The ice-walking puppet was too forced after all.

Due to Swampert’s attributes, even ordinary ice-type moves will cause equal damage to Swampert. Although Freeze-Dry can cause four times the damage, the timing of releasing the move needs to be considered.

Especially on rainy days, freeze-drying is unlikely to pose a threat to Swampert.

The ice field formed can be easily shattered by Swampert’s rock crushing. Even without rock crushing, earthquakes or other tricks can shatter the ice surface.

Qibana always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell for a moment. It wasn’t until he took a look at Chihong that he finally reacted and murmured:
“Dan Di, do you think there is a possibility?”

“What?” Dan Di looked at Qibana in surprise.

“He never intended to use the Ice Doll to defeat Swampert from the beginning. He just wanted to delay the duration of the rainy day? In other words, he was consuming Swampert’s state.”

Chibana’s remarks soon caught Dandi’s attention.

Dan Di looked at Chi Hong again and felt that what Qibana said made more sense.

No matter how bad the Ice-Walking Doll’s condition was, Chihong was determined to let the Ice-Walking Doll stand on the field and had no intention of taking the Ice-Walking Doll back.

“Of the Pokémon that Red has left, Pikachu is weak against the ground, and Charizard is weak against the water. These two Pokémon are at a disadvantage in terms of attributes when dealing with Swampert, not to mention that it was raining just now. During this period, Red can only consume Swampert’s stamina as much as possible, in order to create a suitable fighting environment for Charizard or Pikachu. Even if they are at a disadvantage in attributes, they have the upper hand in stamina, so this battle is not impossible to win!”

“Besides! Charizard can enter that special form!”

Dan Di took a deep breath. He understood what Chi Hong was thinking.

But judging from the current situation, can the Ice Doll really consume a lot of Swampert’s energy? !
I’m afraid it’s a bit tough!
…

“Ouch~”

The ice-walking puppet was gasping for breath, and there were several scars on its body.

After the ice surface was destroyed, the speed that the ice-walking puppet was proud of also turned into nothing.

Chi Hong’s face did not change at all. It was obvious that he had also completed his idea.

Bai Yu smiled slightly.

Round battle?!
Then you can come and try it.

“Swampert, use Bodybuilding!”

Swampert swung his arms, and his muscles became thicker.

Fighting-type bodybuilding increases physical attack and defense by one level.

Round battles are Swampert’s favorite thing to do in daily life.

When Bai Yu was still in the Kanto region, he often practiced with Swampert, Agito, and Garchomp in the backyard, exhausting his own strength every time. Continuous and repeated battles had already trained him to have extraordinary endurance and defense over time.

“Ice-walking puppet! Powerful mental power!”

“Ouch~”

The ice-walking puppet stood up from the ground staggeringly, and the pattern on its abdomen suddenly opened its eyes, and a powerful mental force was instantly released.

With the blessing brought by the spiritual field, the powerful spiritual thoughts it releases are no less powerful than the wide-area combat power we just saw!
As long as the mental field is kept active, the Ice-Stepping Doll’s psychic moves can be steadily improved. Of course, the mental field is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It can also prevent the opponent from using moves with priority +1 or above.

Unfortunately, most of the preemptive moves used by Swampert are mainly focused on defense.

The ice-walking puppets, lacking the protection of ice, appear mediocre in strength.

“Swampert, let it see your strength. Go up and hit it with a bullet. The water will burst!”

“The Great Swamp——”

Swampert roared, his body covered with water energy, and he rushed forward suddenly at an extremely fast speed.

That powerful telekinesis tried to stop Swampert’s actions.

Click click click…

The strong mental power that had originally enveloped Swampert’s body was shattered in an instant. The Ice-Treading Doll did not react at all. It took two steps back with its eyes wide open.

Boom!

The next second, the astonishing column of water rushed up, and Swampert’s body slammed into the ice-walking doll. A dull sound was heard, and the powerful force blew the ice-walking doll away.

The force of the water burst was strong. Although the rain had stopped, Swampert had also gained the ability improvement brought by bodybuilding, and was hit so violently without any preparation.

The Ice-Stepping Doll lay on the ground without the strength to stand up.

“The Ice-Stepping Doll loses its ability to fight.”

Chibana walked into the venue, took a look at the status of the Ice-Stepping Dolls, and announced the result of the battle.

Looking at the ice-walking puppet that had lost its ability to fight, Chihong said nothing.

He knew in his heart that the only option to play next was Charizard.

From the beginning of the battle, he only had a slight advantage in the early stage. With the appearance of Bangila and Nut Dumbbell, his original advantage disappeared instantly, especially that Bangila.

Charizard used tile splitting to get rid of some rocks that did not have time to hide, but many still remained.

Those remnants posed a great threat to him.

What’s more, Pikachu fell into a sleeping state, Moltres, Onion Rider, and Ice Doll lost their combat abilities one after another, and the only one who could take the field was Charizard with poor attributes.

“Red, it’s time to let Charizard take the field! You don’t have any other choice!”

Bai Yu reminded with a smile.

There is no point in Pikachu being on the field, as he can’t even dodge the easiest to dodge, Earthquake.

As long as it is hit by an earthquake, not to mention the red Pikachu, even Ash’s Pikachu may not be able to withstand it.

It would be too simple to think that you can consume a lot of Swampert’s physical strength just by relying on the Onion Soldiers and the Ice Dolls. In the rain, even if you are a level one god, Swampert can still hit you a few times.

His red eyes flashed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

“Charizard!”

“roar~”

With a deafening roar, a strong fire-breathing dragon landed steadily in front of Red. As soon as it landed, the rock spikes hidden on the field came up and violently hit the body of the fire-breathing dragon.

The Charizard roared and its physical condition plummeted.

Charizard had already been hit by a sharp stone attack and was already in a bad state. After being hit by another rock spike, it can basically be said that its blood is in a state of yellow or even red.

“I’d rather choose Charizard.”

Bai Yu was not surprised to see this. Charizard’s strength was there. It was still a choice between the two. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was better to choose the good one than the bad one. Besides, Charizard was not invincible.

“Charizard!”

The next second, Chihong raised his arm, and the mega wristband on his arm shone with dazzling light. At the same time, the same strong light flashed on Charizard’s body, and the rich light of evolution enveloped Charizard.

…

“Sure enough, mega evolution!”

Dandi muttered.

He was not surprised, as this was also Chihong’s best choice.

Compared to Gigantamax, the attributes of mega evolution are better at dealing with the Swampert in front of him.

“Charizard can also mega evolve?!”

Compared to Dan Di’s calmness, Qibana seemed a little surprised. How could this be possible!

Charizard can also mega evolve? !
Then can my Aluminum Steel Dragon also undergo this unique evolution… No… Isn’t this too outrageous?!
The appearance of Mega Charizard also indirectly brought a big blow to Chibana. Dantei’s strength was already strong enough, if he also mastered this fighting system.

Wouldn’t his strength become even stronger? !
Soon, the light of evolution dimmed, and a pitch-black Charizard appeared in front of everyone, with the flames on its body turning blue.

The inner side of the wings turns dark blue, the lower ends of the wings are divided into several arc-edged angular tips, and the protrusions on the wings change into claw-like shapes.

mega charizard x.

It is also the form of Charizard that is closest to a dragon. Its attributes have been transformed from the original Fire + Flying to Fire + Dragon. It is no longer afraid of the Water type, but is restrained by the Ground type. Its weaknesses are only the Ground, Rock and Dragon types.

“Charizard x, you are worthy of being my GF’s real dad!”

Bai Yu said generously that in comparison, Mega Land Shark and Mega Bosquerade were simply terrible.
