Seeing Hyper Beam being withstood by Lapras, Jiang Chen calmly gave another command.
"Blastoise, use Mega Kick."
After stopping Hyper Beam, Blastoise was not affected by Hyper Beam's negative side effects at all, having become accustomed to using Hyper Beam frequently through training.
Jiang Chen had put many of his Pokémon through this kind of special training.
The heavy and rather clumsy Blastoise took strides and ran towards Lapras.
It looked clumsy, but Blastoise's speed in approaching Lapras was not slow.
After approaching Lapras, it leaped up and delivered a Mega Kick towards Lapras.
"Dodge backward."
At Gu Shuangyue's command, Lapras immediately retreated, narrowly dodging the Mega Kick, causing Blastoise's Mega Kick to land on the field.
"Boom!!!"
The field was directly kicked into a huge pit by Blastoise.
Gu Shuangyue's pupils slightly contracted; she had underestimated Blastoise's terrifying physical strength.
Fortunately, Lapras dodged Blastoise's attack. If it hadn't, that kick would probably have been enough to injure Lapras.
"Use Hydro Pump."
Jiang Chen immediately commanded Blastoise to attack.
An incredibly thick Hydro Pump blasted over, and the unprepared Lapras was sent flying by the Hydro Pump.
"You were too careless," Jiang Chen said to Gu Shuangyue.
Gu Shuangyue was indeed careless; otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered such a big disadvantage at the beginning. After all, Lapras's strength was more than 240 points stronger than Blastoise's.
Even Jiang Chen wasn't confident in winning this battle.
Lapras was sent directly out of the field by Blastoise, but in Pokémon battles, there is no rule that being knocked out of the field results in defeat.
Even if sent flying, it could still return to the field to continue fighting.
Gu Shuangyue admitted that Jiang Chen was right about her carelessness.
Indeed, when Blastoise challenged her Lapras, Gu Shuangyue felt a bit of contempt.
If she continued to underestimate it now, she would probably lose.
If her Elite Four Stage 4 Lapras couldn't defeat a Blastoise that had just broken through to the Elite Four, Gu Shuangyue herself couldn't accept it.
"Use Ice Beam with full power."
Lapras opened its mouth, and cold air spread around, followed by a chilling beam of light that blasted over.
In just the blink of an eye, the Ice Beam hit Blastoise.
Blastoise's body was frozen.
"While Blastoise is breaking free, use Hyper Beam."
Gu Shuangyue said to Lapras.
She knew Blastoise would definitely break free. Considering its ability to use Mega Kick and cause such great destruction, Blastoise's strength was immense.
So, Blastoise would definitely be able to break free from the ice's restraint.
Using all its might, Blastoise finally broke free from the ice. Its eyes were fixed on Lapras, but just as it broke free from the ice, Hyper Beam came striking.
"Withdraw into your shell."
Jiang Chen reminded Blastoise.
In fact, even without Jiang Chen's reminder, Blastoise knew what to do at this moment and immediately retracted its limbs into its shell.
Hyper Beam hit the shell. Although the shell couldn't help Blastoise resist all damage, it could at least resist most of it.
Just as it emerged from its shell, another Hyper Beam came.
"Quickly use Protect, Blastoise."
Relying on this divine move, it blocked Lapras's Hyper Beam attack.
"As expected, I dragged it out too long; it's completely suppressed and can't lift its head."
Jiang Chen shook his head slightly as he looked at Blastoise.
Indeed, Blastoise was not Lapras's opponent.
It was only at the beginning, due to Gu Shuangyue's underestimation, that it gained some advantage. Now, the battle was difficult for Blastoise.
"Lapras, use Hydro Pump."
"Blastoise, you also use Hydro Pump."
Both used Hydro Pump, but Blastoise was no match for Lapras; its Hydro Pump was directly suppressed.
"You don't mind if I use a Mega Stone, do you?"
Jiang Chen asked Gu Shuangyue.
"That's fine. I also want to see the effects of Mega Evolution."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuangyue readily agreed. She wanted to know how much power Mega Evolution could bring to Blastoise.
"Mega Evolve, Blastoise."
Mega Blastoise's appearance changed significantly after Mega Evolution. The two cannons previously hidden within its shell on its back now became one huge cannon.
Two more cannons appeared at its hand positions, and the massive cannon extending from its shell on its back looked very intimidating.
After Mega Evolution, its defense was maxed out, and its attack power was also maxed out.
[Mega Blastoise]
Gender: Male
Strength: Elite Four Stage 5
Talent Potential: Champion
Attribute: Water
Ability: Mega Launcher
Moves: Flash Cannon, (cgce) Ice Beam, Hail, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Hydro Pump, Hydro Cannon…
After Mega Evolution, Blastoise's strength increased so much that even Jiang Chen found it terrifying, directly rising from Elite Four Stage 1 to Elite Four Stage 5.
The increase in strength after Mega Evolution is related to the Pokémon's Talent Potential. The stronger the Talent Potential, the greater the increase in strength after Mega Evolution.
Facing Mega Blastoise, Lapras's eyes became serious. Against the previous Blastoise, Lapras felt no threat at all.
But facing the current Mega Blastoise, Lapras felt a strong threat.
Mega Blastoise's Ability is Mega Launcher, which boosts the power of pulse-type or aura-type moves.
"Mega Blastoise, use Water Pulse."
The original Water Pulse had ordinary power, but with Mega Blastoise's Ability, its power was no less than Hydro Pump.
The key was low consumption and high power.
"Lapras, dodge."
"Want to dodge? Then continuously use Water Pulse; let's see how many you can dodge."
Continuously using Water Pulse, Mega Blastoise now seemed to have transformed into a turret.
Mega Blastoise's Water Pulses were fast and fierce. One or two Water Pulses could be dodged, but how could it dodge a dozen Water Pulses?
After being hit once, it was a barrage of attacks, forcing Gu Shuangyue to reluctantly order Lapras to use Protect to escape.
Even after escaping, the injuries on its body were not light.
"It actually got so much stronger."
Gu Shuangyue frowned. Blastoise, which was completely no match for Lapras just moments ago, now had its strength surpassing Lapras. Was this the power of Mega Stones?
Unfortunately, Lapras could not Mega Evolve.
"Lapras, use Hydro Pump."
"Mega Blastoise, you also use Hydro Pump."
They clashed with Hydro Pumps again. Last time, Lapras won, but this time Mega Blastoise directly overpowered Lapras, and Hydro Pump sent Lapras flying again.
"This battle ends here."
Jiang Chen decided not to continue the battle.
In this battle, Jiang Chen didn't necessarily want to determine a winner with Gu Shuangyue. He mainly wanted to see how Blastoise's strength had improved after breaking through to the Elite Four.
The facts proved that even with a type disadvantage, it still couldn't defeat Lapras. Although victory was certain after Mega Evolution, winning this way felt a bit like opportunistic trickery.
Jiang Chen recalled Mega Blastoise, and Gu Shuangyue also stopped.
"Will Mega Evolution appear in competitions in the future?"
The increase in strength brought by Mega Evolution was too great, so Gu Shuangyue couldn't help but ask Jiang Chen this question.
Currently, Gu Shuangyue's main Pokémon could not Mega Evolve.
If Mega Evolution were allowed in future competitions, it would be a significant disadvantage for her.
"It should be allowed,"
Jiang Chen thought it would likely be allowed in the future. After all, in competitions, people with superpowers are not restricted from using them.
Mega Evolution would certainly appear in competitions in the future.
"Although you like Ice-type Pokémon, I still recommend you catch some other types of Pokémon, especially Quasi-legendary Pokémon." Jiang Chen suggested to Gu Shuangyue.
Given Gu Shuangyue's status, it wouldn't be difficult for her to obtain a Quasi-legendary Pokémon.
"I will consider it."
If someone else had said this, Gu Shuangyue might not have paid attention, but since Jiang Chen said it, Gu Shuangyue felt she should seriously consider it.
