Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Chapter 776: Battle 3, Mega Venusaur VS Mega Charizard X

Kebin stared blankly at everything before him. In just a split second, he was completely defeated. He didn't even see how his opponent attacked. His body stumbled back uncontrollably, his legs weakening, and he almost fell to the ground.

However, Sirona and Cattleya, who were watching the battle from a distance, had already seen through everything.

"So that's how it is. Is this a tactic that relies on the combination of brute force and the cloak of momentum..." Shirona muttered to herself, "Yang Ming deliberately let Rada be hit by the electromagnetic wave to slow down Rada so that he could cooperate with the brute force to kill the Steel Bridge Dragon. His previous random command of the attack was also to trigger the Steel Bridge Dragon's endurance characteristics, so that the Steel Bridge Dragon's attack could inflict maximum damage."

"When the attack power of the Aluminum Bridge Dragon reaches its maximum, it is time to activate the momentum drape effect. The momentum drape allows the Pokémon to retain a little bit of energy after being hit by a critical hit when it has sufficient energy. Yang Ming's Rattata relied on this thing to survive."

"With Lada's stamina dwindling to its last ounce, 'Reckless' will come into play. Reckless's effect can forcibly suppress the opponent's stamina to the same level as its own. Therefore, no matter how high the Steelbridge Dragon's physical defense is, its stamina will be forcibly suppressed to just the last bit."

"And when the situation developed to this point, Yang Ming only needed a lightning-fast strike to decide the outcome," Shirona sighed. "The tactical level of these two people is really too different. It can be said that from the beginning of the battle, Kebin fell into Yang Ming's trap."

"Yang Ming is quite capable. It's worth my support for him," Cattleya thought to herself. "What a shame! If he didn't bicker with me all the time, he'd be a pretty good partner."

Kebin's face turned pale as he silently retracted the Steel-Aluminum Bridge Dragon. If his feelings when he lost to the Swamp King before were "anger" and "disbelief", then now he was left with only "despair" and "numbness".

If losing one battle can be considered as a result of the Pokémon's lack of strength, then losing two games in a row can only be considered as the trainer's problem.

No matter how stupid Cobin was, he had already realized that the gap in strength between himself and Yang Ming was huge, so huge that even if the other party used a few common Pokémon, it would be enough to defeat the quasi-god in his hand.

What's even worse is that he had just engaged in a gambling fight without knowing his own limitations, and he had already lost two games in a row. Even if he could win the remaining match, Kebin would still not be able to turn the situation around.

So, does he need to play one last meaningless game now?

Kebin gritted his teeth and finally spoke, "This time, I was completely defeated due to my ignorance and underestimation of my opponent. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. No matter what the result of the third game is, I will abide by the previous bet and offer all the chips after the loss."

Yang Ming nodded slightly. To be honest, he no longer had any interest in these things. Now he just wanted to go to the temple as soon as possible to master the power of super-control.

"But I still have to keep fighting," Kebin said suddenly, "Even if I lose miserably, I don't want to live in a daze anymore!"

"I still want to compete in one final match to witness the difference in strength between you and me."

Yang Ming was slightly stunned. He had originally planned to go back directly, but he didn't expect to hear such an inspiring speech. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Although the last match is meaningless, since you insist, let's begin."

"This is my last one," Kebin took a deep breath and threw out the third Poké Ball. "Come out, Charizard!"

A strong Charizard appeared on the field, and Yang Ming also saw the Mega Evolution Stone hanging around its neck.

"Interesting, then this is my last Pokémon. Come out, Bulbasaur!"

A stronger and more robust Bulbasaur emerged from the Poké Ball and confronted Charizard.

Cobin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the opponent did not send out "roadside" Pokémon like Swampert and Rattata this time, otherwise he would have been really embarrassed this time.

But this didn't mean he could rest assured, because Bulbasaur was countered by Charizard in terms of attributes. However, based on his previous "experience", the more he "gained an advantage" before the battle, the worse he would lose in the end.

Cobin did not dare to be careless and immediately used the key stone to allow Charizard to complete its mega evolution. Wrapped in sky blue flames, Charizard's claws became thicker, and the original orange scales all turned black. It spread its black wings, and gusts of wind wrapped in blue flames swept towards Venusaur.

"Mega Charizard X?" Yang Ming showed his key stone with a blank expression.

Venusaur's body became even bigger and stronger in the light, and the blue flames were dispersed by the huge vines circling around it before they could get close.

Mega Venusaur walked towards Mega Charizard X with heavy steps. It did not take this opponent who had an advantage in attributes seriously at all.

"Charizard, Flash Charge!" Kebin shouted.

The blue flames instantly covered the entire body of Mega Charizard X, turning it into a huge fireball that rushed towards Mega Venusaur. Facing the powerful fire-attribute attack, Yang Ming remained motionless and did not take it seriously at all.

The huge impact force accompanied by scorching blue sparks destroyed the entire venue, but Mega Venusaur, the target of the attack, was not seriously injured. Not only that, it also fought back!

"Vulpes, poison bomb!"

Taking advantage of Mega Charizard X's close combat, Mega Venusaur quickly fired a poison bomb from its mouth and shot it at the opponent. Mega Charizard X was unable to dodge and was hit by the poison bomb on the spot. Large pieces of black scales were corroded by the poison bomb, revealing its fragile skin.

"Tsk, it's more powerful than I thought." Yang Ming looked at Mega Venusaur and found that although it was not seriously injured by Flare Charge, a large area of ​​its skin was still burned.

Although Mega Venusaur's Thick Fat characteristic can halve Fire-attribute attacks, Mega Charizard X's Hard Claw characteristic can also enhance the power of Flare Charge, allowing it to deal considerable damage.

This made Cobin breathe a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't rely on attribute restraint to defeat Mega Bulbasaur, judging from the previous fight, he still had the strength to fight.

"Charizard, use Dragon Dance!" Kebin shouted immediately.

Immediately, Mega Charizard X flapped its huge wings and began to circle in the sky.
