After a single meteor shower, the whole world seemed to quiet down.
Yao Yifei looked down from her high vantage point at the devastated land, and frowned as she asked, "How is it?"
"It seems they held on," the Sun Elf replied.
"Then let's do it again!"
Yao Yifei's tone was icy cold.
Cha Zi's side wasn't doing much better either. Although she had blocked that terrifying meteor shower, her Pokémon had little energy left due to the full-power output.
If another one came, she would have to bear it with her own body.
Thinking of this, Cha Zi made a decision in her heart.
20 kilometers away from the meteor shower.
"Is it coming!"
Lu Li's eyes turned cold.
With his divine sense fully open, Lu Li could keenly perceive the psychic fluctuations.
Without hesitation, Lu Li quickly released Tropius.
Considering that the enemy might be a Gym Leader-level trainer, Lu Li didn't release Milotic and Charmander.
Milotic might be able to control the opponent for a wave, but it definitely wouldn't last long. As for Charmander, there was no need to mention it. In such a battle, Charmander didn't even qualify to be a spectator.
Lu Li reminded in a low voice, "Tropius! What follows may be a fierce battle."
"Trop~"
Tropius cried out with full vigor.
Trainer, I will definitely fall in front of you!
Feeling Tropius's heartfelt voice and its fighting spirit, Lu Li also smiled.
Then let's make a big scene.
Lu Li gently placed his right hand on Tropius's thigh.
Although he was good at clinging to advantages, Lu Li always knew one thing, and that was that true strength came from within!
"Tropius! This is all my power." Lu Li poured the spiritual energy in his body into Tropius's body.
Since Tropius comprehended its origin, Lu Li had been studying the special energy in his body, or rather, his spiritual energy.
Although progress was slow, it wasn't without gains.
According to the law of attribute energy in Pokémon, Lu Li discovered that his spiritual energy was simply all-purpose energy.
Moreover, it was worth mentioning that Tropius only needed energy to advance after comprehending its origin, so Lu Li found a new development path.
A way to use psychic powers similar to Sabrina's in the anime.
That was to forcibly raise the Pokémon's strength, but currently this method could only be used on Tropius, because Tropius had already comprehended its origin.
If he wasn't afraid of outputting life energy, Lu Li could even permanently raise Tropius's strength.
As all the spiritual energy in his body was poured into Tropius's body, Tropius's aura rose almost instantly.
Except for its life origin not being at the Gym Leader level, Tropius could now be said to be a thorough Gym Leader-level Pokémon.
Lu Li called this state pseudo-Gym Leader level.
However, it was worth mentioning that Tropius's life origin was already much higher than that of its kind.
Lu Li weakly commanded, "Tropius! Stack Special Growth."
Knowing that the opponent he was about to face was very tricky, Tropius quickly and frantically stacked buffs on itself.
Whoosh~
Old Wu, who appeared with Exeggutor, looked angrily at Tropius.
As an intermediate breeder, Old Wu could clearly distinguish the strength of the Tropius in front of him.
"Kid! What exactly did you do to your Pokémon?" Old Wu questioned in disbelief.
The Tropius, which was originally only at the early Elite stage, had inexplicably raised its strength to the early Gym Leader level.
Mega Evolution?
The first thing Old Wu thought of was the legendary Mega Evolution, but the Tropius in front of him had no change in appearance, and there was no trace of a Mega Stone on its body.
More importantly, Tropius couldn't Mega Evolve at all!
Could it be...
Old Wu thought of the legendary Dragon Tamer's power. The Dragon Tamer's power could also temporarily increase the Pokémon's strength, but that was only a small stage. How could it be like the Tropius in front of him, whose strength had been raised by a large stage.
Early Elite stage and early Gym Leader stage! These two were completely different concepts!
"Are you a special ability user?" Old Wu asked with a sudden realization.
"Yes, do you want to know what special ability user I am?" Lu Li asked with an extremely sincere attitude.
"You're willing to tell me?"
Old Wu looked at Lu Li with some surprise. Was this kid so honest?
Lu Li was of course happy to cooperate. His primary goal now was not to battle, but to desperately delay time.
The longer the time, the more beneficial it would be to him.
Lu Li nodded and assured, "Of course."
"Then tell me," Old Wu said with some curiosity in his tone.
As a master-level Berry planter, he had seen psychics, but he had only seen psychics.
He was envious, even jealous, of people like Lu Li who were born with psychic abilities.
"Why don't you guess first?" Lu Li coaxed.
"I guess..." Old Wu's face suddenly changed, and then he shouted sternly, "Seed Machine Gun!"
Exeggutor, who received the order, launched a sneak attack, and seeds with the power of machine gun bullets shot towards the seemingly unprepared Lu Li like a torrent.
"This old man is not so easily fooled after all."
Lu Li, who sighed in his heart, transmitted his thoughts through his divine sense, "Tropius, let's use Protect!"
An invisible barrier blocked in front of Lu Li, and Lu Li also took the opportunity to jump onto Tropius's back.
In a Gym Leader-level battle, many powerful area-of-effect skills can bring fatal damage to humans. The safest place is actually next to or on the Pokémon.
Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, Old Wu also released his other Pokémon.
Parasect, Venusaur, Victreebel, Sceptile, Tropius, Exeggutor.
Lu Li looked expressionlessly at the Pokémon beside Old Wu.
It was normal for Old Wu to have a Paras as his initial Pokémon, since he came from a common background. After all, smart commoners knew that the initial Pokémon should preferably bring economic benefits, so that they could reduce resource pressure.
Tropius couldn't help but glance at the Tropius on the opposite side. This was the first time it had seen its own kind in reality.
Old Wu threatened, "Kid, as long as you hand over the divine object, I, the old man, will turn around and leave."
"Aren't you afraid of the Alliance pursuing responsibility for doing this?" Lu Li questioned in an icy tone.
"You don't need to worry about that," Old Wu sneered.
Of course he was afraid, but what time was it now?
Now was the time when the Asian Alliance was about to fall apart. He had already contacted people in the Golden Triangle area. As long as he was willing to join the Golden Triangle area, they would come forward to protect him.
Hearing this, Lu Li directly took the lead, "Tropius, Leech Seed!"
"Tropius! Block it!"
"Shiftry and Sceptile, engage in close combat, regardless of life or death!"
Old Wu immediately responded.
Although he didn't know how Lu Li had raised his Pokémon to the Gym Leader level, Old Wu wasn't worried that the other party could make a comeback at all.
"Six against one, the advantage is on my side," Old Wu thought confidently in his heart.
"Tropius, fly up!"
Lu Li patted Tropius's back.
Now his biggest advantage was the flight advantage. After all, the other side also only had Tropius that could fly.
"Exeggutor! Solar Beam! Then use Psychic to pull it down."
After Tropius flew up, Lu Li continued to command, "Continue to use Leech Seed!"
Old Wu sneered at this scene.
A Gym Leader-level Pokémon that only knew one skill repeatedly could only be said to be forced growth.
Just as Old Wu felt complacent, his Tropius suddenly cried out in grief.
"Huh?"
Old Wu looked in surprise at the Tropius that had been hit by Leech Seed.
"The power of this Leech Seed is not right, could it be..."
At this time, Old Wu reacted, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Did you use Growth in advance, you bastard?"
Lu Li just smiled and said nothing.
Knowing that the enemy was strong, how could he not prepare in advance?
Old Wu said with a gloomy face, "Give up defense! Try everything to solve Tropius first."
He couldn't afford to delay, because he felt dragon-type energy gathering in the sky not far away.
That was a new meteor shower gathering. As a grass-type trainer, Old Wu could be very sure that Cha Zi would definitely not be able to withstand the second wave of meteor showers.
Exchanging injuries for injuries, this was exactly in line with Lu Li's wishes.
Leech Seed!
Leech Seed!
Still tmd Leech Seed!
Under the siege of six Gym Leader-level Pokémon, Tropius was covered in wounds.
From unscathed to covered in wounds, the time that had passed in between was less than two minutes.
Tropius, covered in blood, stood on the earth with its will.
Three of the four huge wings on its back had been broken, and the only wing that hadn't been broken also had a huge hole, which was caused by Exeggutor's Solar Beam.
Not to mention the injuries on its body.
Lu Li was not extravagant enough to use life energy to make those terrifying wounds disappear, after all, every drop of life energy was precious now.
"Hahaha!"
"Kid, you're already worthy of pride. A pseudo-Gym Leader-level Pokémon can last for two minutes under the siege of six Gym Leader-level Pokémon. I think your Tropius is the most outstanding Tropius I've ever seen." Old Wu laughed triumphantly.
"Now, your Tropius doesn't even have the strength to dodge, right?" After Old Wu finished speaking, he commanded coldly, "Exeggutor! Final Solar Beam!"
"Despair, kid!"
Old Wu stared at Tropius.
He was jealous of Lu Li's luck, and he was also envious of Lu Li's Pokémon.
As a trainer of Tropius, Old Wu knew very well what the aptitude of Lu Li's Tropius was.
Elite Four-level! That Tropius's aptitude was at least Elite Four-level!
Why was this kid so lucky when they were both commoners?
At the thought that such an excellent Tropius would be destroyed by him, he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure after violence in his heart.
"Is that so? Not understanding my information is the biggest mistake you've made in your life!" Lu Li also smiled sinisterly.
"Tropius! Dream Eater!"
Old Wu: "???"
Old Wu looked dumbfounded at Tropius and Lu Li, who were trying to struggle before death.
Did Tropius still have the stamina to use skills at this time? And what the hell was Dream Eater?
Soon, Old Wu realized what Dream Eater was.
The six almost full-state Pokémon screamed almost at the same time, and their bodies were instantly covered with thorny vines.
After Leech Seed + Special Growth, it almost instantly erupted with amazing lethality.
At the same time, Tropius also let out a joyful cry.
In almost just one breath, the originally dying Tropius returned to its previous appearance.
The wounds disappeared, and even the wings that had just been broken grew back.
It was as if nothing had happened. If it weren't for the traces of battle around, Old Wu would have suspected that he had just been hit by hypnosis.
"You... what did you do?" Old Wu asked with some collapse in his tone.
"Guess?"
Lu Li just sneered, and then continued to command, "Tropius, cheer up, let's continue to use Leech Seed!"
Leech Seed?
Leech Seed!!!
Old Wu suddenly realized with a flash of inspiration in his mind.
"It's Leech Seed! It's Leech Seed, right?" Old Wu asked himself excitedly.
Then he analyzed to himself, "That's right! It's Leech Seed. This kid used some secret technique to instantly concentrate and explode the continuous damage of Leech Seed, but how is this possible..."
This kind of concentrated explosion includes bringing the future damage forward to the present explosion.
This kind of secret technique can be described as outrageous.
Old Wu sincerely exclaimed, "This kind of secret technique is simply a grass-type divine skill, but unfortunately, the gap in strength cannot be compensated by a secret technique."
As a grass-type trainer, he knew how terrifying this secret technique was.
"It seems that I really can't keep you, otherwise..."
A fierce look flashed in Old Wu's eyes. He originally thought about just grabbing the divine object and leaving, but now he changed his mind.
Such a genius will definitely be able to grow up in the future, and then his family will face a disaster.
Old Wu gritted his teeth and ordered, "Continue to attack! At the same time, avoid those Leech Seeds."
Hearing this, Lu Li directly released Milotic.
"Milotic! Double Charm."
Lu Li quickly commanded.
From the beginning, Lu Li never thought about defeating the other party, but simply wanted to delay time.
After all, the gap between the strengths of the two sides was too big, so big that his cheat could not make up for this gap.
Milotic, who had been watching the battle in the Poké Ball, had already prepared.
Before Lu Li's words could fall, Milotic's Double Charm was activated.
Charm Voice and Captivating Voice were activated at the same time. At the same time, Milotic even activated its Cute Charm effect.
The Pokémon succubus Milotic almost forcibly controlled the six Gym Leader-level Pokémon in place.
Although it was only a moment of distraction for those six Pokémon, it was enough, because Tropius's Leech Seed was successful again.
Old Wu looked at this scene with a gloomy face.
This meant that that damn Tropius could last another wave.
Knowing that the longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him, Old Wu became even more anxious.
"What to do? What to do!"
Feeling the earthquake in the distance, Old Wu knew that there was no time.
Cha Zi may have been solved or may have left, but no matter which one it was, the time left for him was not much.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered attacking the trainer, Lu Li, but the problem was that Lu Li's skills were just too good.
He could swear to the heavens that even the Fighting-type Elite Four member wasn't as skilled as this young man. Plus, the Pokémon and the trainer, Lu Li, coordinated perfectly, ensuring that any attacks aimed at Lu Li landed on the Tropius instead.
The most frustrating thing was that both Tropius and Lu Li seemed to be stamina monsters!
