: Two Levels Up in a Row, Red Gyarados vs. Nine-Tails

Chapter 44: Two Levels Up in a Row, Red Gyarados vs. Ninetales

The level has increased by two.

Although I had accumulated enough experience points yesterday, I didn't expect that the experience points from defeating Blastoise would allow me to level up twice.

Fighting opponents of a higher level is so satisfying!

If you do this a few more times, you'll soon reach level 50.

Natsuki could sense that Lucario was now much stronger than before.

It wasn't just the level increase, but also the superior performance in actual combat that made Lucario understand better how to skillfully control his power.

This is the big difference between the real world and the game world.

The data from the cheat engine simulator was indeed what Xia Mu knew.

However, the strength or weakness of an individual's performance cannot always be fully reflected by simple numerical values.

……

Relieved, Xia Mu shifted his gaze from Lucario to Xiao Tian.

By this time, Sweetie had already recalled Blastoise and offered some simple reassurance.

It's just a normal loss of combat ability, not a near-death experience, so it's fine.

"You're really amazing. Ali told me that. I was a little skeptical at first, but now I know your strength clearly."

"To be honest, I put Blastoise in the first match with the idea of ​​suppressing you first, but unfortunately it backfired and I ended up getting myself into trouble."

As Xiaotian spoke, she stuck out her tongue a little shyly.

It must be said that Xiaotian may seem a bit reckless, but she is actually very smart and quite composed. She is just too aggressive when fighting.

"Actually, if you knew Lucario well enough, I probably wouldn't have even had a chance to fight back. I only managed to win by luck because of Lucario's unique moves," Natsuki said.

After exchanging pleasantries and compliments, Xiaotian pressed on with great curiosity, "Speaking of which, I was really surprised just now. Was it Lucario's own action, or was it a tactic you had planned beforehand? You didn't even need to give any command."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu smiled slightly, not intending to hide it.

He already had the advantage of using Aura, which allowed him to communicate telepathically with his Pokémon.

He told Xiaotian about his general abilities, which Xiaotian greatly admired.

In short, it's that feeling of "I want it too".

After exchanging words for a while, Ali, though also surprised by Xia Mu's skills, still interrupted their conversation: "Alright, the battle isn't over yet. You're not going to stop after just one match, are you?"

Xia Mu and Xiao Tian both looked at him and stopped dawdling.

Some things can be discussed in depth when we're alone after the match is over.

"Actually, you didn't have to tell me. If I didn't know, I could have used my full strength. Now that I know you can give commands with your mind, I have to be on guard." Xiaotian gave a wry smile and then took out a Poké Ball.

As the Poké Ball was released, a Ninetales with glossy fur and a handsome appearance appeared on the battle arena.

Nine-Tails, level 49.

This level, while not as high as a level 51 Blastoise, is still quite high.

"Would you like to switch out Lucario? If not, then I won't hesitate to make my move," Sweetie asked politely.

Upon hearing this, Natsuki glanced at Lucario.

Their eyes met, and having confirmed Lucario's fighting spirit, Xia Mu shook his head at Xiao Tian.

"Lucario still wants to fight, that's its choice. As its trainer, how can I discourage my Pokémon?" Xia Mu smiled faintly, already making plans in his mind.

Lucario's stamina was indeed low, and his injuries were quite severe.

However, since it is still on the field, its physical attack attribute retains the level 4 boost from the two previous Sword Dances.

Therefore, even if your attribute is countered, you can still fight as long as you don't get hit by the opponent.

It all depends on how fast this nine-tailed fox has become.

Natsuki had trained Nine-Tails before, so he knew that Nine-Tails' speed was higher than Lucario's. Once Nine-Tails' speed training reached a certain level, Lucario might have a hard time keeping up.

"Let's go then. You can go first this time," Xiaotian said to Xiamu.

It was a wise choice, and it showed that she didn't want to take advantage of anyone.

"Then you'd better watch out." Nodding to the little sweetie, Natsuki looked at Lucario: "Aura Sphere!"

"Lucario~!" With a roar, Lucario formed a Rasengan and unleashed it.

As a special attack move with a 100% hit rate, the power of Aura Sphere should not be underestimated, especially since Lucario is now level 46.

"Get out of the way! Then spray flames!" Little Sweet said calmly.

Upon receiving the command, Nine-Tailed Fox raised its head and let out a long cry. Just as the Wave Missile was about to reach it, it gracefully turned and jumped to avoid the attack. However, it was too confident, and Little Sweet did not understand the attributes of the Wave Missile's moves.

The wave missile hit its mark unexpectedly, injuring Nine-Tails and shocking Little Sweet.

However, even so, the Nine-Tails was not seriously injured. It was just stunned for a moment. After it came to its senses, it was furious and did not hesitate to use Flamethrower to retaliate.

The intense jet of flame, like a fire dragon, swept towards Lucario.

This attack was incredibly powerful, reminding Xia Mu of the duck-billed fire beast he encountered the previous night.

"A flash of lightning evades the attack, followed by a rockfall!"

Xia Mu remained calm in the face of danger, and his command was smooth and efficient.

Most people would lose their rhythm in Lucario's current situation.

Lucario used Quick Attack to dodge the straight-line attack from Flamethrower.

Just as it was about to unleash the Rock Slide, Little Sweet gave the order, and the situation suddenly changed.

"I won't give you another chance. Move at high speed to get close, and then unleash another flamethrower."

Nine-Tails' speed shocked Natsuki once again, even with the aid of high-speed movement.

It is indeed fast enough. Even a Lucario at its peak, with 252 EVs maxed out, would probably be a little slower.

This shows that the Nine-Tails' Effort Values ​​are at least 100-200, and its Speed ​​IV is absolutely the best!

"A substitute!" With no other option, Xia Mu could only try his luck.

But this time, Lady Luck was clearly not on his side.

Nine-Tails' flamethrower hit Lucario head-on, and without a doubt, Lucario lost its ability to battle.

"You flatter me, Xia Mu." Xiao Tian smiled sweetly, which was indeed quite alluring.

Xia Mu nodded to her, then recalled Lucario and said to the Poké Ball as usual, "You did a great job. You not only defeated Blastoise, but also depleted Ninetales's stamina."

After saying that, Xia Mu put away the Poké Ball and took out the red Gyarados Poké Ball.

To counter fire-type attacks, water-type attacks are the natural choice. Moreover, looking at Nine-Tails' skill list, it doesn't have any skills that counter water-type attacks or flying-type attacks.

Even with its high speed and decent special attack, Red Tyrannosaurus Rex is a clear counter to it.

So what if there's an 8-level difference? The pure attribute advantage alone makes up for that gap.

"Roar!!!" The red Gyarados made its appearance, shocking everyone present.

Everyone has seen Gyarados, but no one has ever seen a red Gyarados.
