Pokémon: Rise of the Orange League

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a crisp cry, a large silver metal bird flashed out of the Poké Ball. It spread its bright red wings, raised its head and uttered a loud and long cry, announcing its appearance to everyone present.

After circling in the air for a few times, the Armored Bird quickly rose into the sky, showing its excellent competitive state and strong flying ability.

Ayi carefully observed the Armored Bird and nodded with satisfaction. He could see that the Armored Bird had been carefully cultivated and was in excellent condition. It seemed that the opponent's achievements in competitions in other regions were not accidental, but were real.

"Flying type? Then let Pidgeot deal with it!" Ayi made a decision quickly. In fact, he was a little embarrassed. Due to the era in which his father lived, there were few trainers in the Orange Islands who trained steel-type Pokémon, so there was no Pokémon of this type in the Pokémon inherited by the gym, resulting in him currently not having a particularly outstanding steel-type Pokémon to choose from.

"Pidgeot!"

With a cry, a Pidgeot flew out of the Poké Ball. This Pidgeot looks very ordinary, whether in size, fur color or other aspects, it seems ordinary, and even makes people feel that it is not a Pokémon from the Orange Islands.

Luwu did not despise this Pidgeot because of its ordinary appearance. Judging from its body and mental state, although it is a Pokémon inherited in the gym, its competitive state is very good.

The speed of Armorbird is much worse than that of Pidgeot. Although they are both hovering over the arena, Pidgeot's flying posture is obviously lighter, as if dancing in the air.

Because the battle field of flying Pokémon is wider than that of the ground, there is often a period of maneuvering before the real battle breaks out. Both sides need to constantly test and find the opponent's weaknesses.

Now Pidgeot is looking for the weak link of Armorbird with its faster movement speed. It sometimes flies high, sometimes hovers at low altitude, sometimes sprints quickly, and sometimes glides slowly, making it difficult for Armorbird to guess its intentions.

"Pidgeot, use your wings to attack!" Seeing that Pidgeot had an advantage in flying speed, Ayi immediately issued an attack order. He knew the importance of timing. If he missed this opportunity, he might be countered by the Armored Bird.

After receiving the order from his master, Pidgeot quickly flapped his wings, bringing up a whirlwind. It rushed towards the Armored Bird at an astonishing speed, and the whirlwind became stronger and stronger, stirring up the surrounding air.

Facing the fast-approaching Pidgeot, the Armored Bird had sharp eyes. It knew that it was at a disadvantage in speed.

But the strength of the Armored Bird race is speed?

Facing Pidgeot's close attack, the Armored Bird did not dodge, but turned around nimbly.

"Swallow Return!" Lu Wu's command appeared at the right time.

As a skill described as a sure-hit target, the key to the "Swallow Return" being able to hit the target every time is its astonishing speed when it is performed.

Pidgeot chose to find an attack angle from the side and rear of the Armored Bird, and then launched an attack. If it were a previous opponent, facing an attack from behind, he would usually panic and try to dodge. However, this armored bird was not afraid. With the extreme speed brought by the "Swallow Return" move, it turned around without hesitation and forcibly reversed its body in the air.

At this moment, the two birds that were originally chasing each other flew towards each other like lightning, and their figures quickly intersected in the air. In this brief moment, their bodies collided with each other, making a dull sound. Since the armored bird has excellent physical defense, it obviously has an advantage in this aerial collision.

"Pidgeot, keep your distance and use the air blade to consume the opponent." Ayi's idea is very simple. Since your armored bird is so hard, I won't touch you.

"This is not up to you!"

Lu Wu shouted: "Flash!"

"Then there is the cannon light cannon!"

The silver metal body of the armored bird suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

Pidgeot's vision was quickly filled with white light. Lu Wu had already noticed in the previous fight that the pectoral muscles of this Pidgeot were unusually strong, most likely due to the strong pectoral muscle characteristics.

With this characteristic, Pidgeot has better stability and climbing ability in normal flight.

But in contrast, it does not have the excellent anti-interference vision brought by sharp eyes.

Pidgeot lost its vision in an instant, and the strong flash made it temporarily blind. However, thanks to the hard training in daily life, Pidgeot did not panic.

It reacted quickly, folded its wings and dived down, changing its flight trajectory at the fastest speed, trying to escape the influence of the flash and avoid the subsequent attack of the armored bird.

Unfortunately,Armorbird's cannon is not an ordinary attack. After special training, its power has been weakened, but the release speed has been greatly accelerated (just like the legendary swift style of Arceus). This fast attack method makes it difficult for Pidgeot to dodge.

At the same time, Armorbird also accurately predicted the possible countermeasures that Pidgeot might take. When Pidgeot tried to change its flight trajectory, the silver steel energy hit it accurately.

"Pidgeot!"

Pidgeot cried out in pain and was hurt. But with its tenacious willpower and excellent flying skills, it tried its best to maintain its balance and stability.

As time went on, the discomfort caused by the flash gradually dissipated, and Pidgeot's vision began to return to normal. Despite suffering a heavy blow, it still resolutely continued to fight and prepared for the next round of challenges.

When its vision recovered, it saw a steel bird wrapped in blue and white flames.

Armorbird, who was deeply trained by Luwu's tactics, firmly adhered to Luwu's set of theories of killing.

As long as there is a chance, he will use a torrent of attacks to make the opponent unable to raise his head.

The battle that happened in an instant suddenly changed the situation in the air.

The moment Ayi saw the flash, he knew that something was wrong, because he had never fought against a Pokémon like Armorbird, and he had no idea that a flying Pokémon could use flash.

"Pidgeot, hold on!"

Ayi knew that Pidgeot was a little embarrassed now. If he used hold on to block the cannon beam, what would happen to the subsequent Bravebird?

After weighing the pros and cons, he did not let Pidgeot use hold on at the first time, and then waited for the opponent's Bravebird to attack before shouting the command.

Fortunately, Pidgeot was well-trained, and the first thing he thought of was to dodge skills by changing the flight trajectory, rather than randomly using hold on.

The cannon beam fired by Armorbird's pitiful special attack was painful but not fatal.

The subsequent Bravebird's fierce attack was obviously an attack that he used all his strength.

The green shield lit up and disappeared in a flash.

But at least it bought Pidgeot some time to escape.

It flapped its wings quickly, adjusted its flight trajectory and escaped from the side.

Armorbird was not discouraged by being blocked by the defense. It had expected this situation.

Luwu also knew that if the Cannon Beam could hit the target in a few more battles, it would have hit the target. As a Pokémon trained in the gym, it was impossible for it not to defend.

"You think the Cannon Beam doesn't hurt? Keep using the harsh sound!"

Listening to Luwu's instructions, Armorbird intensified the friction and vibration between the feathers.

The noisy and harsh sound spread in all directions.

Pidgeot was injured in the previous battle, and it was even more uncomfortable to hear this annoying sound.

"Pidgeot uses the dance skill to find an opportunity to roost." Ayi could naturally see that Pidgeot, who had been attacked, was not as free as before in the air.
