This time, after being hit by the Hyper Beam, Meganium couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed heavily onto the ground.
"Meganium is unable to battle."
The referee announced.
"Hmph, I still lost." Ye Wei gave a wry smile.
Jiang Chen couldn't have trained this Tyranitar for long, right? How is it so strong?
Sometimes, the strength of a Pokémon can be seen from its aura. Just by looking at Tyranitar's aura, one could tell it was very powerful.
This Tyranitar was a reward Jiang Chen received from the New Trainer Competition. It hasn't been long since the New Trainer Competition, yet Tyranitar is already this strong.
Is this what a genius is? Training Pokémon so quickly.
"Ban!"
The victorious Tyranitar roared, feeling extremely excited.
Normally, Tyranitar's opponents were usually Jiang Chen's own Pokémon, so winning didn't give it a sense of accomplishment, and besides, Tyranitar rarely won.
Its battle targets were all much stronger than it, so how could it possibly win?
This victory was incredibly satisfying for Tyranitar.
Composing herself, Ye Wei recalled Meganium and sent out her next Pokémon.
"Blaziken, go!"
When he saw Blaziken, Jiang Chen's expression was slightly surprised. Wasn't this a Grass Gym? His opponent actually brought out a Fire-type Pokémon.
"Surprised, aren't you? A Fire- and Fighting-type Pokémon appearing in a Grass Gym?" Ye Wei asked Jiang Chen with a smile.
She clearly saw the astonished expression on Jiang Chen's face.
"Normally, I rarely use Blaziken, but against your Tyranitar, I can't not use this Blaziken."
Ye Wei's expression was serious.
"It is a bit surprising, indeed."
Jiang Chen was genuinely a little surprised, but then he remembered that although this was a Grass Gym, there was no rule stating that only Grass-type Pokémon could be used.
"Blaziken, charge forward and use Double Kick on Tyranitar."
This Blaziken was an Elite Four Stage 7 in strength. Purely in terms of raw power, Blaziken was much stronger than Tyranitar.
The most crucial thing was that Fighting-type moves greatly countered Tyranitar. Grass-type also countered Tyranitar, but Fighting-type was even more effective against it.
Blaziken quickly reached Tyranitar, ignoring the sandstorm to find its target, and swiftly landed two kicks on Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's heavy body was sent flying.
"This opponent is quite good."
Jiang Chen keenly sensed that Tyranitar was at a disadvantage, but he wasn't flustered at all. If battles were always crushing victories, it would lose the original intention of his challenge to the Maple Leaf Gym.
Challenging Gyms was primarily to train his Pokémon's strength.
"Tyranitar, use Iron Defense, and find an opportunity to counterattack while defending."
After instructing Tyranitar, Jiang Chen used his Aura Power to clearly perceive the situation within the sandstorm.
Jiang Chen believed that Blaziken would definitely attack proactively.
In a sandstorm environment, delaying would be disadvantageous for Blaziken. At this moment, Blaziken taking the initiative was the best choice.
"Blaziken, use Bulk Up, then use Brick Break."
Bulk Up can increase both attack and defense, a move that boosts one's own stats, similar to Dragon Dance and Swords Dance.
Blaziken was very fast. Because it was stronger than Tyranitar and agile, its movements were also much faster than Tyranitar's.
However, Tyranitar was not without advantages. Firstly, in a sandstorm, Tyranitar's vision would not be affected. As the Sandstorm King, the sandstorm weather had no effect on Tyranitar.
When Brick Break landed on Tyranitar, the reactive Tyranitar also struck Blaziken with a Thunder Punch, trading blows.
Given Blaziken's physique, even if its strength was greater than Tyranitar's, it couldn't win a trade of blows against Tyranitar.
The armor on Tyranitar's body helped it withstand most damage; ordinary attacks landing on Tyranitar were like mere tickles.
Moreover, Tyranitar had also used Iron Defense to boost its defensive power.
Tyranitar was sent flying by Blaziken's Brick Break, while Blaziken was also blasted away by Thunder Punch, its body still wrapped in electricity.
Suddenly, Blaziken's body stiffened and fell into a state of paralysis.
"Good opportunity! Tyranitar, use Hyper Beam!"
Because it had specifically practiced Hyper Beam, Tyranitar's Hyper Beam was incredibly powerful.
Ye Wei's face was filled with anxiety. She couldn't clearly see what was happening inside; the sandstorm was simply too large, completely obscuring vision, with visibility no more than a meter.
The paralyzed Blaziken was completely unable to dodge and took the Hyper Beam head-on.
"What a pity. Tyranitar's strength is still a bit lacking. The power of Hyper Beam isn't enough, otherwise, it definitely would have seized the chance to defeat Blaziken."
Jiang Chen's face showed regret.
"Press the advantage, Tyranitar, use Giga Impact!"
"Blaziken, use Close Combat!"
Ye Wei gritted her teeth; she had no other choice. She didn't know Blaziken's condition and could only have it attack.
Giga Impact struck Blaziken. Blaziken used its arms forcefully to desperately hold back the charging Tyranitar.
"This Blaziken is indeed quite strong."
Jiang Chen praised.
However, the sandstorm weather had too great an impact on Ye Wei and Blaziken, and Jiang Chen's Tyranitar was also very powerful, so Jiang Chen was certain to win this battle.
"Chirp~!"
Blaziken was sent flying again, its body crashing heavily to the ground. Before it could get up to counterattack, Tyranitar moved again.
Tyranitar wasn't particularly fast, but it could achieve a burst of speed for a short period.
Its heavy footsteps made the ground tremble. Then, Tyranitar suddenly leaped up and fiercely smashed down onto Blaziken.
Body Slam. This move's power increases with weight, and Tyranitar's weight was definitely heavier than most Pokémon.
"Bang~!"
With a tremor of the ground, Tyranitar's Body Slam directly sealed the victory, defeating Blaziken.
The sandstorm receded under Tyranitar's control, revealing the unconscious Blaziken.
"Blaziken is unable to battle."
The referee announced directly after seeing Blaziken's condition.
"I don't even know how Blaziken was defeated." Ye Wei's expression was very glum.
"Tyranitar, come back for now."
Jiang Chen recalled Tyranitar, then sent out Hydreigon.
"Another Pseudo-legendary."
Seeing Hydreigon, Ye Wei was envious. According to what she knew, Jiang Chen also had Dragonite, Metagross, and Garchomp.
All together, he had five Pseudo-legendaries, right?
For others, obtaining even one Pseudo-legendary was incredibly difficult, so what did it mean for Jiang Chen to have five? Who wouldn't be envious?
If Ye Wei knew that Jiang Chen also had a newly hatched Dreepy, she would probably...
She probably wouldn't recognize Dreepy, after all, in this world, even Kommo-o hadn't appeared yet.
But even if Ye Wei didn't recognize it, Dreepy was indeed a Pseudo-legendary.
Stared at enviously by Ye Wei, Jiang Chen still felt a bit proud. Everyone has vanity, and Jiang Chen was no saint, of course he had vanity.
"Come out, Vileplume."
Vileplume evolved from Gloom. Those who dared to raise Gloom were brave, as the foul-smelling pollen emitted by Gloom was even worse than the stench from Grimer.
Fortunately, after evolving into Vileplume, it wasn't like that, but Vileplume's pollen was poisonous.
"Vileplume, use Petal Dance."
Snowflake-like falling petals scattered in all directions. This move was very beautiful when used. If there was a Contest, using Petal Dance would probably earn a good score.
Beauty mixed with danger. Fortunately, Hydreigon was completely unaffected by beautiful things; its nature was very rough.
It flew up, avoided the attack range of Petal Dance, and then mercilessly fired a Hyper Beam.
Three Hyper Beams shot towards Vileplume, instantly knocking it out.
"It fired three Hyper Beams?"
Seeing this, Ye Wei was somewhat dumbfounded.
Hydreigon had three heads, and besides the central head, the other two also fired Hyper Beams.
Jiang Chen had trained Hydreigon to do this before, and it had finally succeeded.
While firing three Hyper Beams could surprisingly knock out an opponent, the energy consumption was also incredibly high.
"Vileplume is unable to battle. Please send out your next Pokémon." The referee reminded Ye Wei.
Ye Wei glumly recalled Vileplume. The battle had just begun, and she had already lost.
