Battle Chateau.
The pouring rain was still falling.
Under the enhancement of the rain, Super Blastoise's three lower cannons converged with immense Water-type energy...
The Hydro Pump that erupted simultaneously formed a thick, incredibly powerful, high-pressure water jet!
The high-pressure water jet shot towards Mega Lucario, who was standing on the ground!
Although he had the divine skill Detect, Lucario's figure was prone to slipping in the rain.
"Detect!"
Detect is similar to Protect, but not entirely the same.
Both are defensive moves; Protect requires staying in place, but Detect has variations.
Li Wei and Lucario's Aura power were highly synchronized; at this moment, Li Wei seemed to possess Lucario's body.
Blue light flickered in Mega Lucario's eyes, his mind highly concentrated, keenly capturing the trajectory of the Hydro Pump!
Detect succeeded.
Lucario, with an incredible, extreme sidestep, let the high-pressure water jet brush past him, striking the lake behind him, causing a huge splash.
A strange glint flashed in Siebold's eyes, but he remained calm, "You can't win against us by just defending, Li Wei."
"Blastoise, Hydro Cannon!"
Following the Hydro Pump was the even more powerful Hydro Cannon.
Super Blastoise lowered his body; the Hydro Cannon he was gathering this time was clearly much more powerful...
This time, Lucario could no longer use Detect or Protect; using Protect twice in a row was too risky.
Protect, not Protect, Protect.
This was the essence.
Li Wei commanded, "Full power Earthquake, stop it!"
Lucario slammed his fists heavily onto the ground, and with a tremor that shook the earth, Super Blastoise's Hydro Cannon was also fired.
Super Blastoise had aimed at Lucario, but the Earthquake caused his final aim to shift!
As everyone knows, Hydro Cannon is also prone to missing.
Especially for a Super Blastoise whose center of gravity was disrupted by Earthquake.
Both Hydro Pump and Hydro Cannon missed consecutively.
But the heavy rain was still falling.
Although the Hydro Cannon missed, Siebold remained composed; this time he switched to something easier to hit...
"Water Pulse!"
"Flash Cannon!"
Again, it was a draw, or rather, Lucario's Flash Cannon subtly suppressed Super Blastoise.
Red quickly understood Li Wei's intention, "Once the rain stops, it will be Lucario's time to counterattack."
The only question was whether Li Wei and Lucario's stamina could last until the rain ended.
Excitement gleamed in Siebold's eyes.
"That's it!"
Siebold enjoys Pokemon battles.
However, he also enjoys cooking, and few people can truly pique his interest in a battle.
Compared to cooking, Pokemon battles don't provide him with enough positive feedback.
This doesn't mean Siebold is lonely at the top.
Siebold also dislikes being defeated.
Siebold decided to change his strategy.
"Ice Beam, freeze the field!"
Super Blastoise's three cannons and the four icy-blue beams from his mouth spread out, rapidly freezing the field.
During this process, Lucario agilely dodged and weaved, but he couldn't prevent the field from being frozen!
The brick floor quickly turned into a gleaming ice surface.
"Why freeze the field?"
This question couldn't help but rise in Li Wei's mind.
Soon, Li Wei knew why.
Siebold snapped his fingers, a smile on his face,
"Blastoise isn't fast, so to solve this problem, I specifically consulted Mr. Wulfric."
The Wulfric Siebold referred to was the Gym Leader of the Snowbelle City Gym in the Kalos region, an old man with a white beard.
Though not an Elite, he was definitely an Ice-type expert.
His main Pokemon was a Mega Abomasnow.
"Mr. Wulfric said that as long as it slides, it will be fast! Blastoise, slide gracefully!"
"Ka-mehh~~"
To everyone's surprise, Super Blastoise moved his legs like an ice skater, gliding across the ice!
Even more outrageous was that Blastoise could attack while doing this; this time it was a barrage of Aura Spheres!
Turtle!
What's the difference between this and a heavy tank?!
"Lucario, Aura Sphere!"
Red's eyes lit up, "What an interesting strategy!"
While continuously sliding, Super Blastoise rapidly approached Lucario...
Just then, Siebold revealed his fierce fangs!
"Now! Aqua Jet!"
Aqua Jet is equivalent to a Water-type Double-Edge; upon hitting, the user also takes recoil damage.
Kona adjusted her glasses,
"He actually hid this move!"
In the World Tournament, Kona had once battled Siebold, and at that time, Blastoise had not displayed such an ability.
Kona had won that time.
Kona murmured slightly, "It seems he enjoys Pokemon battles more than I thought."
Li Wei calmly gave commands,
"Lucario, Rock Tomb!"
Stone pillars rose from the ground, but they were shattered one by one by Blastoise, who was covered in water!
But Li Wei's Rock Tomb had another purpose...
"Jump up, Aura Sphere!"
Lucario leaped, jumping onto the top of the stone before Blastoise could crash into him, and then launched himself into the air!
As the blue water stream disappeared from Super Blastoise's body, the Aura Sphere accurately hit Blastoise's back of the head!
On the ice, Super Blastoise, suddenly struck by a heavy blow, lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
"Now! Close Combat!"
Strike him while he's down.
Before Super Blastoise could get back up,
Mega Lucario burst forth, transforming into a blue meteor,
And launched a storm of continuous attacks on the fallen Mega Blastoise.
"Blastoise, withdraw into your shell!"
On the ice, it was almost impossible for Blastoise to get back up, so Siebold could only take defensive measures.
With the Adaptability ability's Same-Type Attack Bonus, the already terrifying power of Close Combat was astonishing.
Every punch, every kick from Lucario seemed to heavily strike Siebold's heart.
Especially with the Swords Dance boost.
"Blastoise, Iron Defense!"
Siebold still didn't give up.
Blastoise also didn't give up.
The shell being struck by Lucario suddenly glowed with a silver light, the resistance of Iron Defense!
Mega Blastoise's defense, after Iron Defense, reached an extremely terrifying level...
Fists rained down on the shell.
This seemed to have evolved into a battle of endurance.
When his fists landed on the shell, Lucario felt pain, but he still persevered.
"Ga ga!"
(Go, Master!)
"Shaymin~"
(G-go!)
Mega Blastoise's defense was indeed formidable, enduring Lucario's first wave of attacks head-on.
Siebold also knew he couldn't let this continue.
"Hydro Pump boost, create distance!"
"Ka-mehh~~"
Blastoise's response came from within his shell.
This time, the Hydro Pump shot into the air again, but it created distance from Lucario.
His limbs extended from his scarred shell,
Super Blastoise was ready to counterattack!
