## Chapter 112: Kappa Kuma's Shock, What a Ruthless Black Fox!
Crack, crack, crack!

The protective barrier enveloping the Slowbro was constantly emitting sounds of shattering glass under the impact of Metang's Meteor Mash.
Similarly, the semi-transparent shield showed visible spiderweb-like cracks under the barrage of the Steel Punches.
Bang!
After a stalemate of about two or three seconds, Meteor Mash broke through the shield, directly slamming towards Slowbro's seemingly foolish face.
"Got it!"
The Officer Jenny's in the back cheered at the sight.
However, in the final moment when Meteor Mash was less than five centimeters away from that blank face,
A faint blue light rose from Slowbro's body once again.
A semi-transparent, semi-circular shield reappeared.
Completely blocking the weakened Meteor Mash!
"Using 'Protect' twice in a row!"
Steven's expression changed dramatically.
How could this be!?
Just like how using Hyper Beam once would lead to a need for rest due to excessive energy consumption, thus exposing vulnerabilities.
Most trainers wouldn't dare to use such a high-risk move like Hyper Beam without a sure chance of winning.
The "Protect" move also has its drawbacks.
Although not as exaggerated as Hyper Beam or Giga Impact, there are risks involved.
That is, using it once makes it more likely to fail if used again.
Not to mention that Slowbro, as a Pokémon, is already slow in executing moves.
How could it use "Protect" twice in a row in less than three seconds?
It's not Regieleki!
"Steven! Over there!"
At this moment, Zinnia noticed the problem and pointed at Slowbro's tail.
Steven looked over.
He saw the Shellder evolving from a Shellder on Slowbro's tail, its eyes emitting a blue light.
Steven immediately guessed what was happening, saying in disbelief:
"Could it be… the second 'Protect' was, was used by it!"
The surrounding Officer Jenny's and many police officers also revealed incredulous expressions.
"As expected of the top genius in the Hoenn region, you saw through it so quickly."
Nanu grinned triumphantly:
"How is it? Joker granted my Slowbro the power of 'Parental Bond'."
"How could such a thing be possible!?"
Lance, on the other side, noticed the situation and frowned deeply.
His old colleague Lorelei also has a Slowbro, so Lance is quite familiar with this Pokémon.
Although Slowbro evolves from Shellder biting onto Slowpoke's tail, strictly speaking, Slowbro is indeed two Pokémon fused into one.
But Professor Oak also said that the Slowpoke part still dominates the body, while the Shellder part, although having self-awareness, does not have control over the body.
Let alone releasing moves!
And what is "Parental Bond"?
Isn't Slowbro's ability "Oblivious" and "Own Tempo"?
There seems to be a Regenerator as well?
"Ice Beam."
Su Sheng's command rang out.
Lance's eyes shifted focus.
He saw the Ice-type Eevee jumping high, opening its mouth to fire an Ice-type move at his Dragonair No. 1.
"Hmph! Flamethrower!"
Lance sneered loudly.
Did you think I didn't prepare a way to deal with Ice?
Dragonair No. 1 raised its head and released a pillar of flame.
Without needing Lance to issue further commands, Dragonair No. 2 followed closely behind.
Releasing Flamethrower together.
The two pillars of flame converged, forming an even larger pillar of fire that resembled a roaring flying dragon.
The Ice Beam collided with it.
The two sides only held for two seconds before the silver-white beam was pushed back by the dual Flamethrower.
"It's not over yet! I'll let you and your accomplices see what the fusion of wind and fire is!"
Lance shouted proudly.
Riding on his Dragonite, which was serving as a mount, flapped its wings.
Hurricane!
The fusion of wind and fire is here!
Lance's favorite battle combination is one Dragonite + two Dragonair.
The strategy is often for Dragonite to act as the damage dealer, with the two Dragonair providing support.
But it can also be reversed!
The hurricane in the back hung on the dual Flamethrower.
Instantly, the original long pillar-shaped flame spread out, forming a giant dome-like shape, like a fiery tsunami!
It was very similar to Madara's Majestic Destroyer Flame!
"Good grief!"
Nanu's eyelids twitched fiercely under his mask.
If Lorelei, who was also a member of the Indigo Elite Four, could previously manage a 30-70 split against Lance, maybe even a 40-60 split with an exceptional performance,
Now it could be said to have become 20-80, or even 10-90.
"It's not just you who's a genius!"
Lance, riding on Dragonite's back, revealed a Nike dragon king smile and shouted:
"In Alola, a scientific genius was also born. The TM's he invented greatly strengthened my Dragon army! Our League also has geniuses! Don't think you're the only talented person in the world, you frog in a well!"
In this real world, Pokémon are not limited to learning only four moves.
And the Dragon-type Pokémon's move pool is often the richest.
And the Dragonite family, although it didn't get any of the later enhancements like Mega Evolution, exclusive Z-Moves, or Gigantamax.
But the richness of its move pool can also be one of the best among all Dragons.
It can be said that there are basically no type moves that Dragonite can't learn.
Besides the Dragon and Flying types.
Water, Fire, Electric, Fighting, Rock, Ground…
But there's a problem.
That is, even if Lance and his Dragons have high talent.
Learning these non-native type moves will definitely take a lot of time and energy.
However, the situation is different once the TM is out.
High-power TMs like Flamethrower and Hydro Pump.
The money required is definitely not something ordinary trainers can afford.
But for Lance… hehe, isn't it just money?
The money he spent on TMs during this period has definitely exceeded six figures.
Comparable to an apartment.
For ordinary trainers, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
But for Lance… he's not named Ma, he's really not interested in money.
Although the TM is not as buggy as Rare Candy that directly levels up Pokémon, it definitely greatly supplemented the coverage of his team.
The current Lance has completely entered the champion level!
However, as soon as this was said, Rika and Nanu, who were originally amazed at Lance's power, all showed expressions of being unable to hold back.
They were inexplicably looking forward to Lance's expression after learning the truth.
"Mr. Lance, that move is too much!"
Cynthia shouted worriedly.
The range of this fiery sky is too exaggerated, it will definitely engulf Joker as well.
I heard that Lance of the Indigo League doesn't hold back when cracking down on criminals.
But this is a bit too much, isn't it?
You're going to kill him.
"You underestimate Joker too much."
At this time, Rika's laughter suddenly attracted Cynthia's attention.
Cynthia frowned slightly.
Wh, what do you mean?
At this time, the small Life Orb in the center of the necklace around Ice Eevee's neck changed from emitting blue light to red again.
Whoosh!
Sparks flew!
Fluffy crimson fur floated in the wind.
Ice Eevee turned into Flareon!
Lance in the sky widened his eyes.
Watching Flareon jump into his three dragons' combination skill "Fire Dance Whirlwind".
Then, like a Fire Dragon Slayer Mage, it opened its small mouth.
Absorbing all the flames into its body!
Flareon's ability—Flash Fire!
Unaffected by Fire-type moves, and can convert the opponent's flames into its own power!
"Here you go."
Su Sheng chuckled.
The next second, Flareon, which had absorbed the sea of fire, suddenly raised its head.
The strengthened Flareon suddenly opened its mouth.
A fiery storm was released from its mouth.
Heat Wave!
Dragonite, seeing this, quickly crossed its arms and straightened its back, protecting its master behind it.
But even with Dragonite protecting him, Lance could still feel the high temperature that was about to ignite him.
"It can even transform into Flareon!?"
Rika and Cynthia, Nanu and Steven's battles were also continuing.
"Being able to freely transform is just like Ditto!"
Although "Parental Bond" Slowbro is tricky, Steven's overall strength is still better than Nanu's, and he can spare some thought to pay attention to Lance's situation.
"It's not as simple as Ditto's transformation."
Nanu said with a smile:
"When Joker's Umbreon changes form, its ability and fighting style also change, such as letting the speed-excellent Jolteon blitz, letting the Flash Fire Flareon absorb flames, and using the defensively excellent Umbreon to block attacks…"
"Isn't it scary? Joker's power."
Steven's expression also became more serious, "Has this Slowbro of yours also been modified by him?"
"Modified? That's a nasty way of putting it."
Nanu laughed loudly and shouted:
"This is helping teammates break through bottlenecks!"
"Slowpoke! Shellder! Double Surf!"
Just like Su Sheng named his three Houndoom, Nanu also gave his Slowbro two names.
Slowpoke and Shellder, the Slowbro that evolved from their fusion, multitasking, exerting force at the same time.
Two waves rose from Slowbro's left and right, and converged in the next second.
The tsunami seemed to want to devour everything, rushing towards Steven and his Metagross.
"Even more than Wallace's Milotic—!"
Steven gritted his teeth secretly.
……
……
"Insignificant!"
In the center of the battlefield.
Lance shouted loudly.
At the same time, his three dragons had also successfully blocked Flareon's Heat Wave.
After all, the Dragon-type's resistance is indeed excellent, and these three are Lance's main force.
It's not enough to be taken down by a Heat Wave, even the strengthened version.
Lance looked down again from a high position.
Found that Flareon had returned to Ice Eevee.
"Hmph! Want to increase the output power?"
Lance immediately saw through Su Sheng's thoughts.
Fire-type damage to Dragon is limited, it must be turned into Ice form.
But…
"I've already said! Ice-type is meaningless in front of me!"
"Dragonite! Rock Slide!"
Under the master's order, Dragonite raised its arms high and roared.
Dozens of basketball-sized rocks appeared out of thin air around it, and with Dragonite's sudden wave.
These rocks shot down like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.
Rock Slide!
Whether you are fire or ice! You can't get any advantage against Rock-type!
"Surf."
Su Sheng called out.
Ice Eevee turned into Vaporeon, raising its neck high, and rolled up monstrous waves.
A water wall more than ten meters high isolated the flying rock group.
Then, a gap opened in the water wall.
Three Houndoom jumped out of it.
It was Joker's three Houndoom!
"Hmph! What can three stinky dogs do!?"
Lance smiled disdainfully.
Then winked.
Without the master's order, the two Dragonair had already understood the master's meaning.
Rumble~
The originally clear sky instantly became cloudy, and even the roar of muffled thunder was faintly heard.
Wow!
In less than two seconds, heavy rain fell.
The entire Illusory Forest was shrouded in heavy rain.
Double Rain!
"In this way, your three stinky dogs are useless!"
Lance sneered.
Originally, Fire-type skills would be weakened in rainy weather.
In such an exaggerated heavy rain, if you use Fire-type moves, I am afraid that you can't exert 20% of the original power.
"That guy Lance is playing for real!"
While on the outskirts of the Illusory Forest, Alder wiped the rain off his face.
He also guessed who caused the heavy rain.
On the other side, Nanu, who was on the plane passing over Nimbasa City, came to Unova with his girlfriend Akari to 'travel'.
Through the window, I just saw the east side of Nimbasa City, which was in a state of lightning and thunder.
"Akari! Look, look!"
Nanu anxiously patted his girlfriend's shoulder.
"Ah?"
Akari, who was drowsy, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.
……
……
"You're done!"
Indigo B King Lance pointed his finger at the sky, shouting with full force:
"Dragonair! Thunder + Hydro Pump! Dragonite! Hurricane!"
Thunder, a powerful Electric-type high-level move, but also because of the exaggerated power and insufficient accuracy.
But in the rainy environment, because water can conduct electricity, the hit rate is greatly improved, it can be said to be close to 100%!
Hydro Pump, a Water-type big move, in such a super heavy rain environment, I am afraid that it can exert 200% of the power!
Hurricane is also a powerful move with insufficient accuracy.
But with the blessing of heavy rain, the hit rate has also been super strengthened.
The power of these three moves together is self-evident.
This time, even if he was confident in Su Sheng.
Rika and Nanu were also panicked.
"Everyone, retreat quickly!"
Cynthia quickly reminded him.
She secretly vowed never to act with Lance again.
This guy doesn't consider the consequences at all when he fights!
"Should I use Umbreon to block it?"
Lance grinned and ridiculed.
Umbreon has the best defense among the Eevee family.
And Joker's Umbreon's ability to withstand hits has been recognized by Elite Four member, Elites.
But facing this move... forget Su Sheng's Umbreon, even if you let the current Champion of the Indigo League, Agatha, come, she wouldn't dare to block it head-on!
"Steven! Get up here!"
Steven knelt on his Metagross's back, pulled Aaron up, and prepared to retreat from Lance's attack range.
Aaron didn't answer, just stared straight at Joker's side.
What's going on?
His aura sensed something was wrong.
Aaron wanted to remind Lance that something was not right.
But the Water Cannon + Thunderbolt + Hurricane map attack was too exaggerated.
No matter how loud he shouted, Lance wouldn't be able to hear him.
Finally, the triple strike swept over.
Enhanced water, lightning, and wind.
Fell on Joker and his Vaporeon, and the three Houndooms standing there.
If Naruto fans saw this scene.
They would definitely have a sense of deja vu.
Because it looked just like the scene of the Tailed Beast Ball exploding.
Boom—!
Countless cracks spread out in all directions.
The strong vibration made the Unova elites guarding the edge of the forest stagger.
"Ouch!"
Elesa, the Gym Leader of Nimbasa City, who was also the top star in the Unova region, fell to the ground on her butt, and was immediately pulled up by her Emolga.
"Thank you, Emolga..."
Elesa thanked her Emolga, rubbed her butt, and said in fear:
"W-what exactly is happening in the forest?"
And at Nimbasa Airport.
"Quick, quick, quick! Akari, something must have happened over there!"
As soon as she got off the plane, Wallflower pulled her best friend Akari and ran towards the Lostlorn Forest in the east of the city.
The reason why Wallflower chose to buy a ticket to Nimbasa City was because the headquarters of the Cote Network World Company was here.
But she just happened to see this scene when she arrived.
Wallflower, who had been studying journalism knowledge for a year, determined that something big must be happening over there.
"Okay, okay, okay, but we can't just run over there."
Akari, who was being dragged along, took out a Poké Ball and released a Tauros.
The two best friends rode on the back of the Tauros and galloped towards the Lostlorn Forest in the east.
……
……
In the center of the Lostlorn Forest battlefield.
The rain clouds that originally enveloped the forest sky had been dispersed by the terrifying impact.
And below, there were broken branches and forks of tree trunks everywhere.
Steven, sitting on the back of Metagross, showed a shocked expression at this scene, and sighed in a low voice:
"As expected of the next champion of the Indigo League, Mikuri and I still have a big gap between him."
"Oh, right, Aaron, did you want to say something just now?"
After sighing, Steven turned his head and asked Aaron, who was sitting next to him.
"N-no, it's nothing, it's just that when Lance and Joker were fighting just now, it gave me a very strange feeling."
Aaron shook his head.
On the other side, Cynthia walked out from behind a big tree that had been blown down by the hurricane, her originally beautiful blonde hair was a little messy from being blown.
Looking at the charred center of the battlefield, the Sinnoh Valkyrie swallowed her saliva, "Joker... couldn't have been..."
In the opposite direction, Karen and Will walked out one after another.
"Bastard!"
Karen glared at the Dragon Master riding on the back of the Dragonite in the sky, gritting her teeth.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a curved cold light accurately hit the fat, round belly under Lance.
Dragonite's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets from the pain.
If he was still in full health, with the Marvel Scale ability bonus, it wouldn't be so exaggerated.
But after so long of fighting, he was already in a "yellow blood" state.
Now that he has been hit by such a move, how could he feel good!?
The level of shock on Lance's face on Dragonite's back was no less than that of his beloved pet.
Looking down.
I saw Joker standing directly below with his hands in his pockets, smiling.
And the one releasing Ice Beam at his feet was that Glaceon!
"Y-you, you guy... how could you be here!?"
This may be the most shocking time in Lance's 20 years of life.
"Heh~ I won't tell you~"
Su Sheng showed a mischievous smile with a smile of success.
At this time, from one of the Poké Balls at his waist, the Zoroark who had just joined the team also grinned, revealing the same evil smile as its owner.
And the Bewear next door stared blankly at this fox.
To be honest, none of the current four teammates can shock Tapu Koko.
But just now, she was really scared.
Good fellow, what a ruthless ability!
I feel that many readers say that Lance can't pass Lorelei's level, so he can't become the champion of the Indigo League. I have always been a little confused when I see this. Neither the animation, manga, nor game has ever said this. Lance is the double champion of Kanto and Johto, which was said in the journey chapter. And according to the game's ranking, Lance is the strongest of the Indigo Elite Four, and Lorelei is the last. I also like Lorelei's personality (big thunder), but that's the fact. I feel that this is a rumor in the fanfic world, just like some people always say "One said that Saitama's strength is equal to Super Saiyan 2", but he actually didn't say it...
