At the VIP table, Diantha looked at this scene, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Steven is really merciless and doesn't give Caitlin any face."
Cynthia looked sympathetically at the back of his best friend who left angrily, and sighed softly:
"It seems that Caitlin has been angry for a long time. Steven... well, he is really focused on the battle."
Then, it was Gym Leader Norman of Hoenn versus Ghost-type Elite Four Pheobe.
This can be regarded as a civil war between Hoenn Region, and in terms of age, Pheobe is a round younger than Norman.
Norman is already a middle-aged uncle, while Pheobe still looks like a girl in her early twenties.
Pheobe is dressed in a cool outfit. Her upper body is only a small chest wrap, and her lower body skirt reveals her slender thighs. She is wearing a pair of sandals. She looks like she is on vacation, not at all like she is here to play a game.
"Mr. Norman, I have long admired your name! Please take good care of me~"
Pheobe said with a smile and winked playfully. He looked cute and lively, and could not be seen as the feared Ghost-type Elite Four.
"Haha, Elite Four Pheobe, I have admired you for a long time."
Norman laughed and responded, "I heard that you have been able to communicate with Ghost Pokémon since you were a child. You are a famous genius girl. Please show mercy."
Ghost-type Elite Four, Normal-type suppressed him very much.
"No problem~"
Pheobe blinked. "But Mr. Norman, if you lose later, don't cry~"
She was thinking in her mind, she was Ghost-type Elite Four, against a Normal-type gym leader, with such a huge attribute advantage, could she still lose?
Sure! The advantage is hers!
"Then let your horse come over!"
Norman heroic Qianyun.
Pheobe immediately sent Pokémon: "Please, Mismagius!"
A Pokémon is as light as a little witch wearing a magic hat. Levitate.
On Norman's side, a group of gray, soft Flaaffy bubbles like clouds were sent out.
Castform.
Knowing that Pheobe is Ghost-type Elite Four, Norman will naturally not send out Vigoroth to fight head-on, but choose the more tactical Castform.
This Pokémon can change its shape and attributes according to the weather, making it very flexible.
"Gym Leader Norman, this one is not easy to fight." From the spectator seat at the back, Sidney looked troubled, not looking down upon Norman as just a gym owner.
"Fire Blast!"
Norman attacked first.
I saw Castform instantly enter the Sunny Day form, changing from a gray cloud to a small sun, opening its mouth Spit Up and a blazing large-font flame!
"Mismagius, use Mystical Fire!"
Mismagius condensed into purple Mystical Fire, which collided with Fire Blast and annihilated each other in the explosion.
"Now, Dazzling Gleam!" Pheobe added an attack.
Mismagius's eyes focused, and a pink wave of destructive light erupted, covering Castform.
"Castform! Hurricane!"
Castform turned into a dark cloud again, and a violent hurricane formed instantly, scattering the light wave of Dazzling Gleam, and the aftermath continued to hit Mismagius!
"Mismagius, Phantom Force!"
Mismagius disappeared suddenly, sneaked into a different space, avoided Hurricane, and then appeared from behind Castform, launching another wave of pink light.
Answer, Dazzling Gleam!
"Superposition, Fire Blast!"
Norman still responded calmly.
"Woo~" Castform blasted out Fire Blast again. The fire took advantage of the wind, and Hurricane continued. The combination of Fire Blast and Hurricane doubled the power!
Boom boom boom!!!
Mismagius was immediately repelled!
Pheobe was a little shocked. I didn't expect Mr. Norman, the owner of Normal-type, to be able to use moves with other attributes so smoothly!
"Mismagius, Will-O-Wisp!"
Mismagius Spit Up Several groups of faint blue Will-O-Wisp float faintly towards Castform.
"Castform, use Thunder Wave to resolve!"
Fine golden current bursts out from Castform, Thunder Wave spreads, contacts Will-O-Wisp, cancels each other out, and makes a sizzling sound!!
In the end, thanks to Norman's exquisite weather switching and move combinations, Mismagius was defeated step by step.
Pheobe had no choice but to let Mismagius find an opportunity to use Pain Split and Sheer Force to share their strength equally, and then reluctantly took Castform away.
"Mismagius loses the ability to fight!" the referee announced.
"Weather tactics are too slippery!"
"Castform can still be used like this? I've learned a lot."
Pheobe also looked much more serious.
She realized that the bold-looking uncle in front of her was not simple.
Next, Norman sent out... a Spinda.
As soon as this Pokémon appeared, it swayed from side to side, as if it had drunk fake wine.
The pair of eyes with spots of different sizes on his face were dazed and silly, like a fool.
"What... what is this?"
Pheobe seriously doubts that Pokémon like this can also fight? Is Mr. Norman kidding?
But she soon realized Norman's method of cultivating Pokémon.
Spinda is swaying, seemingly disorganized, but every step follows a strange rhythm, and Teeter Dance is used invisibly!
As soon as Mismagius was sent out, he fell into this trick and fell into Confusion.
Spinda was staggering, but he actually used Teeter Dance invisibly, and Mismagius was hit at the beginning.
"That's it now, Shadow Ball!"
Spinda staggered closer, and then shot Shadow Ball from zero distance to smear him in the face!
Bang! Mismagius was taken away on the spot!
"???"
Pheobe Everyone was dumbfounded. How the hell is this okay?
Dawn was also stunned. "That Spinda is so awesome."
"Mr. Norman's Spinda looks silly, but actually... well, it's quite silly."
Xiaoyun wanted to say that it was as wise as a fool, but seeing that Spinda still looked like that, he took it back.
It can only be said that Norman is really good at training Pokémon.
On the field, Pheobe took a deep breath to calm down. Next she sent out a Pokémon that looked like a shabby doll with a zipper sewn on its body and a sinister expression.
Banette.
This time she learned her lesson and prepared for long-range attacks, not giving Spinda a chance to jump Teeter Dance at close range.
"Banette, use Will-O-Wisp!"
Banette Spit Up The faint blue Will-O-Wisp floats towards Spinda.
Norman directly asks Spinda to use Encore.
The result is that Banette will only use Will-O-Wisp in the next three rounds.
Facing the overwhelming but slow-moving Will-O-Wisp, Spinda staggered, seemingly dangerous but actually easily dodged them all, and instead got closer to Banette.
Teeter Dance!
Banette is in chaos.
Next, Norman directed Spinda to attack with Shadow Ball, causing Banette's HP to be greatly reduced.
Finally, Pheobe gritted his teeth, refused to do anything, and directly asked Banette to use Destiny Bond.
Die together!
"Spinda and Banette lose the ability to fight at the same time!" the referee announced.
The two sides tied at 2:2.
"This Elite Four Pheobe is very radical. He will pull Gym Leader Norman down together if he disagrees with her."
Lucian commented.
Flint agreed, "It's normal. You become Elite Four when you are less than twenty years old. How can you lose your temper?"
Young and energetic? Can you still be called young if you are not energetic?
With only one player left on both sides, Norman sent out his trump card Slaking.
Bang!
The huge body landed on the ground, Slaking hit Yawn, rubbed his sleepy eyes, then lay down on the ground and started snoring.
Pheobe also threw out the last Poké Ball.
A short, purple Pokémon with a ruby on its chest appears.
It looks harmless to humans and animals, but there is a strange light shining in the ruby.
Shadow Pokémon, Sableye!
"Sableye, Mega Evolution!"
Pheobe showed his trump card without any hesitation!
In the colorful light, Sableye's eyes grew larger, like two rubies, and the ruby on his chest also turned into a huge gem shield, blocking it in front of him.
Mega Sableye! Appears!
"Sableye, use Will-O-Wisp!"
Pheobe started to increase the intensity again, but she didn't believe it. Slaking looked like this, and this Will-O-Wisp couldn't increase it?
The faint blue flame floats towards Slaking.
Slaking was at the moment when Truant was having an attack. He was so sleepy that he was hit by Will-O-Wisp in a daze and fell into Burn.
"Slaking, Blizzard!"
Slaking opened his mouth, and a raging cold wind burst out, shooting towards Mega Sableye!
Mega Sableye raised his gem shield to resist. The powerful shield immediately blocked the wind and snow, and was only slightly scratched by the aftermath.
This damn sense of security.
Then, as soon as Slaking closes his eyes, Truant is triggered and enters the resting state.
At the same time, Burn continues to consume its physical strength.
"Good opportunity! Sableye, use Power Gem!" Pheobe's eyes lit up.
Sableye's gem shield lit up, and several bright gems exploded on Slaking's body!
Norman frowned.
It's a bit difficult now. Slaking was continuously drained of blood by Burn, and was also hit by attribute restraining moves. The situation was a bit unfavorable.
"Thunder!" He chose to use a wide range of moves.
Slaking resumed action and roared to the sky.
Sizzle!
Dark clouds gathered in an instant, and thick thunder struck down like raindrops! Covering most of the venue.
Mega Sableye still used a gem shield to resist, but this time Flash covered too wide a range, and many of them still hit it, causing it to feel numb all over.
Pheobe Take a look, is this possible?
Battery life, must be battery life!
"Sableye, use Recover!"
Sableye's whole body glowed with soft green light, his injuries recovered quickly, and his gemstone shield became smooth again.
"Let me go, this is really hard to control Slaking."
"Speaking of it, this style of play is too bad. Burn consumes blood, Recover has battery life, Slaking cannot be hit, and it is still losing blood."
"Ghost-type is indeed troublesome, and Slaking is indeed not something that ordinary people can play with."
Seeing that Burn on Slaking was becoming more and more serious and his physical strength continued to decline, Norman immediately gave the order after Truant's round ended.
"Slaking, use Rest!"
"Huh... ZZZ..."
Slaking As soon as he closed his eyes, he lay down directly and instantly fell into deep sleep, with loud snoring.
The Burn on his body was extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye, his injuries recovered quickly, and he soon returned to full strength.
"Huh? Is this still possible?"
Pheobe was dumbfounded. Although he was almost winning, he was just a little bit close to killing Slaking. But in the end, it just took a nap and regained its full power?
"Little girl, you are not the only one who knows how to play tactics."
Norman smiled heartily, and that smile was extremely unlucky in Pheobe's eyes.
"Slaking, use Sleep Talk."
Slaking raised his hand unconsciously in his sleep, and then...
Boom boom boom! Thick thunderbolts fell from the sky and struck Sableye!
Thunder!!
