Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

Why is there a diamond storm?

Gladion was a little confused.

Although this move is Dianxi's exclusive move, because Xia Chen had used it in the Donghuang Conference before, Gladion also knew its effect——

The additional effect of the rock-type special attack move is that it has a high probability of greatly improving the physical defense ability of the user, that is, Dianxi.

Very beautiful effect, decent damage, and with just a little bit of luck you can get the equivalent of an [Iron Wall] enhancement.

The crux of the problem is that this is a rock-type move, and it is naturally restricted by the Silver Beast that transforms into a steel-type move.

If compared with the power of the earth that Dianxi has used once, the damage difference is four times.

So, is it to pursue the additional effect equivalent to [Iron Wall] strengthening?

The answer seems obvious.

While Gladion was thinking, a gorgeous diamond storm had already set off on the battlefield. Under Diancie's control, countless beautiful pink diamonds condensed into the shape of a spiked shield and were placed in front of him, under the sun. Shining with dazzling brilliance.

At the same time, the silver companion beast also rushed in front of Dianxi, its crown reflecting the metallic luster like a sharp sword unsheathed.

The steel sword and the rock shield collided fiercely, and there was a harsh clang sound in an instant.

Bang——

The silver companion beast with improved sword dance and attribute restraint finally had the upper hand. The solid shield formed by the diamond storm shattered, and the sharp head blade condensed with multi-attribute attacks suddenly fell on Dianxi.

A crack suddenly appeared on her crystal clear diamond body, as dazzling as a hole in the most perfect work of art.

The attack worked, but Gladion's expression was not relieved at all, because along with the cracks appeared, there was also that dazzling golden-orange light——

The additional effect of Diamond Storm was successfully triggered!

Dianxi's physical defense ability has been greatly improved!

This was not a small probability event, so Gladion was not unlucky at all, but in any case, it made his already poor situation even worse.

If the effect is not triggered, there is no doubt that the silver companion beast hit by the four times restrained attack will gain blood in this round of confrontation.

But now that the opponent has reached the first level of [iron wall], the silver companion beast will definitely be the one who suffers.

After all, the damage of Dianxi's Diamond Storm is not low, even if it is reduced by attribute restraint.

…………

It's rainy and sunny at the same time.

The bright golden light that represented the success of strengthening was an extremely cute existence in Xia Chen's eyes.

He admitted that he gambled, but he won.

With Diamond Storm's massive physical defense enhancement guarantee, he will be even more confident in subsequent battles.

He can use moves like pounce to fight head-on, or he can continue gambling with Diamond Storm, or even simply using the iron wall to strengthen is a good choice.

In short, the initiative is in your own hands, and it is easy to fight no matter what.

As for now, he decided to gamble again, "Continue, Diamond Storm!"

The shield formed by the diamond storm just now reduced a lot of damage, so Dianxi's physical condition is completely full at this moment, and she has enough capital to continue gambling on luck.

The question was thrown back to Gladion, should you continue to let the Silver Companion Beast use multi-attribute attacks to attack, or should you change your mind?

There was not much time left for the trainer to think on the battlefield, so Gladion quickly gave the answer in a cold voice, "Multi-attribute attack!"

From his point of view, there are not many choices. In this diamond storm, Dianxi still has nearly a half chance of significantly strengthening his defense.

Instead of attacking against a physical defense as strong as a city wall later, it is better to deal more damage now when you can still use physical attack moves to defeat your opponent.

If Xia Chen's luck is really good, there is nothing he can do, so he can only use special attack moves to attack.

The sharp peerless sword and the hard diamond shield met again. The difference is that this time, the mentality of both parties has changed like a two-level reversal.

Xia Chen was calm and composed, while Gladion secretly clenched his fists.

As the eyes of the two people intertwined, a fierce collision resumed. The Silver Companion Beast moved forward with unparalleled momentum, but failed to break through the protection of the Diamond Storm Shield again——

The second diamond storm once again triggered the additional effect of greatly improving physical defense!

Gladion's face instantly darkened, and his heart became even more desolate.

Two diamond storms, two triggers. This guy's luck is too good, right?

As soon as this thought arose, Gladion shook his head and denied it.

A certain legendary trainer said that probability is also part of the battle between elves.

Is this luck? Maybe, but it’s more of a reward for adventurers.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Diamond Storm, the exclusive move of the legendary elves, is a bit too powerful.

Generally, high-damage moves have side effects of one kind or another, such as Meteor Swarm and Flying Leaf Storm. However, Diamond Storm not only has no side effects, it even comes with a probability enhancement equivalent to that of an iron wall, and the probability is only 50 to 50. between!

This is the root of Xia Chen's gamble.

…………

After two diamond storms, the game has basically entered garbage time.

Although the Silver Companion Beast can still use special attack moves like the Cannon to make offensive attempts, it is of little significance.

Not only because the damage of this move is much lower than that of multi-attribute attacks, but also because Dianxi can now use a move called [Pounce]——

For fighting-type physical attacks, the higher your physical defense, the higher the damage caused.

And with the bonus of two diamond storms, what kind of damage can Dianxi, whose physical defense has been greatly improved, deal?

Facts have proved that the silver companion beast could not withstand Dianxi's second attack!

Although there are also the effects of the storm and dust explosion left by the Vulcan Moth, it is enough to prove the high damage of Dianxi's two [attacks].

What was most embarrassing for Gladion was that its third elf had to face a super Diancie who had an exaggerated physical defense bonus and was still in good condition.

This narrowed the range of the last elf he could choose from -

It can't be a physical attack type elf. It's best to be good at steel-type moves. It would be best if it can super-evolve. Gladion still has an unused quota for super-evolution or crystallization.

There are not many elves who can fully meet these conditions, and Lucario is barely one.

Although the impression is that this is an out-and-out physical attack type elf, in fact Gouzi's special attack output is not lower than the physical attack at all.

It's just that there are more useful physical attack moves than attack moves in the skill pool, which makes Lucario appear to be better at physical attack moves.

Gladion couldn't care less at the moment and had no choice but to send out his last elf, Lucario.

"Lucario, Mega Evolution!"

As expected, as soon as the blue-black dog came out of the Poké Ball, Gladion helped it complete its super evolution without hesitation.

After super evolution, its double attack and speed have been greatly enhanced, but its defense is still as fragile as ever.

Xia Chen, who knew this very well, directly asked Dianxi to rush over Lucario when he super evolved.

lap!

Lucario, who also has the steel attribute, is also a weak fighting spirit. Its durability is lower than that of the Silver Companion Beast, and it is even more afraid of this powerful attack.

Lucario had to temporarily erect a defensive barrier to block this fatal blow.

To say fatal may be an exaggeration, but it can definitely cause serious damage to Lucario.

But she could only resist once. Dianxi, who was on top of her, took the initiative to pounce again. She looked delicate and frail, but she suddenly burst out with terrifying momentum.

Gladion had no choice but to command: "Bullet punch!"

The purpose of this bullet punch is not to attack, but to dodge Dianxi's attack at an extremely fast speed.

With Lucario's flexible body dodging, it successfully avoided the second attack.

Xia Chen saw it but was not impatient.

For the situation at this time, Lucario can dodge a hundred times, but as long as it fails once, it will fall into a desperate situation in this battle.

Once the goal is clear, the next battle idea will be clearer.

The only thing Xia Chen needs to do now is to let Dianxi keep a distance from Lucario that can make a surprise attack at any time, and at the same time, use long-range moves like Magic Flash to put pressure on the opponent and find flaws.

The stalemate lasted for a full five minutes, and Lucario finally revealed the flaw in his stiffness for half a second after an iron hoof light.

Dianxi pounced decisively and delivered his final fatal blow.

At this point, this not-so-official, but extremely fierce battle between elves ended with Xia Chen winning with a score of 3:1.

…………

"The teacher won, great!"

Lillie, the only spectator on the sidelines, immediately gave her own applause and cheers.

The bright smile on his face made the cold Gladion couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. In your eyes, you only have this teacher you just met, not the brother you have been with for nearly twenty years, right?

Lillie, whose elbows were turned outward, gave her uncle a blow that was more heartbreaking than failure.

Fortunately, Lillie is an attentive girl. When she noticed Gladion's expression for the first time, she stuck out her tongue and quickly said, "You can fight like this with the teacher. My brother is also very powerful!"

Gladion held his forehead and remained silent. Xia Chen used Vulcan Moth Gadianxi to get through the top three elves in his main lineup. Is the gap really small?

But no matter what, one of his main purposes for coming to challenge Xia Chen this time was to see how powerful the top trainers outside the Alola region were.

Regardless of the outcome, Gladion finally got his wish.

As for another purpose? He looked at Lillie and said, "Lily, I forgot to bring the wound medicine. Can you buy some for me?"

Lillie said "Hey", turned to look at Xia Chen, and asked: "Teacher, there should be a lot of medicine here, right?"

Xia Chen glanced at Gladion with a meaningful look in his eyes and replied: "I didn't bring much when I came here. Please buy some for me by the way. Fairy cloth, you go with her."

It is definitely a lie that there is no wound medicine. An excellent trainer will definitely have enough energy cubes and wound medicine around him.

He believed that Gladion must be the same way, so if he deliberately said he didn't bring it, he probably had something to talk to him alone.

So he cooperated with this little lie and did not hesitate to use the "beautiful trick" for this purpose.

The remaining doubts in Lillie's heart were washed away by the surprise of being accompanied by Senbu. She happily responded, then jumped towards the door while holding Senbu's silk satin.

Xia Chen and Gladion watched Lillie's back fading away in tacit understanding, and then turned to look at each other.

"Lilia likes Senbu very much. I must take her around for a while so that we can have a good chat."

Xia Chen spoke first.

From the moment his brother-in-law walked in, he had an intuition that "he wanted to say something to him", and now it was completely confirmed.

As for the content, Xia Chen guessed that it might be the sister-controlling brother warning him to stay away from his sister, or more likely it was the ultimate hole.

Gladion nodded calmly and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. I do have something to tell you."

He paused and said in an extremely serious tone: "I would like to leave Lily to your care during this period."

…………

Xia Chen was slightly startled.

This was the first time that Gladion used the title "you" to communicate with him.

In fact, although the two are of the same generation, Gladion is three or four years older than Xia Chen, so there is no need to use the honorific "you" at all.

"Can I ask the reason?"

Xia Chen smiled knowingly.

Gladion hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Recently, some unsettling events may occur in the Aether Paradise."

Sure enough, we have to get to the ultimate hole in the end.

Xia Chen laughed and shook his head. He originally thought he had some great secret, but in the end it was as if everyone knew it.

However, these siblings are the people closest to Lusamine, so it is not surprising to know some inside information.

And since Gladion took the initiative to bring it up, Xia Chen said frankly: "It's because of the ultimate beast, right?"

Gladion was startled, then frowned and said, "You also know about the ultimate beast?"

Xia Chen smiled and replied: "Your lovely sister should know a little more than you think."

"Lily knows too?"

Gladion couldn't stand it any longer and murmured: "No wonder she has been in a bad state these past few days. It turns out she knows it too."

Xia Chen affirmed: "Not only did she know, she also made a plan with me to contain and release the ultimate beasts."

Gladion's cold expression completely melted, and he asked anxiously: "Is she going with you?"

Xia Chen asked, "You should know this girl's temper better, what do you think?"

Gladion was silent for a long time, then slowly lowered his head, "She must want to go with you."

"But I don't want to."

Xia Chen suddenly said: "Those ultimate beasts are too dangerous. I don't want Lillie to be involved, so you will take care of her when the time comes."

"this"

Gladion pondered after hearing this. His original intention was to let Xia Chen take care of his sister and solve it alone, but according to Xia Chen's intention, he was also excluded from the plan.

He wanted to say something, but after thinking about the fiasco just now, his reason told him that this was the best solution.
