He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 2982: Steel Attribute Civil War, Lucario vs Diamond Steelix!!

The next day, everyone gathered in Dr. Oak's backyard again, and this time there were obviously more neighbors gathered.

Even the Pokémon scattered around the backyard came.

Champion or not is not important. But the unique green scarf on Lizard King's shoulder, which smells of Professor Oak's sweat, is what every Pokémon dreams of.

  That's a symbol of status!

"Huhu. I shouldn't be late, right?"

Just before the game started, a panting sound was heard from behind. Pushing aside the crowd, a dark, eyeless, sturdy young man showed his head.

"Oh Teacher Gang, you came just in time~!"

Having not seen his good friend for a long time, Xiaozhi immediately came over and greeted him with great interest.

By the way, I haven’t seen Xiaogang for such a long time. Doesn’t it seem like he has become darker?

The latter had just finished his work at the hospital and immediately used the X-bat's "paraglider" to arrive at Pallet Town.

  Hey!

So they immediately clasped their hands together and looked at each other intently, everything being understood without words.

  But brotherhood is not the focus today.

"Ahem, today is the second round of the single-attribute group elimination tournament, Steel attribute. All Steel attribute Pokémon please come out in turn~!"

Akromah coughed and spoke in a loud voice.

When Xiaojian comes back, the other party will be in charge of this work.

"Leave it to me~!"

Seeing that Professor Oak was holding a tablet with a synchronized video call in his hand, and the screen showed Xiao Jian, who was far away in the Lantier region for inspection, Xiao Gang quickly took the tablet and helped to broadcast the live screen to the latter.

  It's just that the infrastructure in the Lantier area doesn't seem to be very good, and the screen is stuck.

"Please, Xiaogang~!"

From the other side of the screen, Xiao Jian's apologetic and grateful voice was heard.

Everything is ready, Xiaozhi looks forward seriously——

Today's competition venue is not in the lawn area at the backyard entrance, but at the foot of the back mountain.

This is a wasteland, and the ground is made of complete and hard rocks, which is more suitable for battles with Pokémon of rock, ground, and steel attributes.

There are four steel-attribute Pokémon that have decided to join the battle.

Lucario, Metagross, Steelix, and Genesect!

Although the Xicui-like Nianmeilong he had just subdued actually had steel attributes, the hard metal snail shell on its back was proof of that.

However, the latter was not aggressive and refused to participate in the competition on the grounds that he had just arrived and was not used to the local climate.

"So these are the four Pokémon today?"

Professor Oak looked at the four Pokémon that were already lined up. The other three were fine, but Steelix's huge size made it stand out.

Akromah next to him was thinking about something else:

"Is there no Ibrahimovic participating this time?"

  After all, due to the instability of its own genes, Eevee can evolve into many types.

If there is an evolved form called "Metal Eevee", then this Eevee should also be able to evolve into a metallic state when it comes into contact with metal ore, but in fact it cannot evolve into that state.

After all, each new evolution chain of Eevee is constantly updated and discovered, and no one can say whether Steel Eevee will appear in the future.

Based on the state of Xiaozhi's Eevee, can we conclude that there is no Steel attribute branch for Eevee's evolution? Xiaozhi: "."

  As expected of Mr. Akroma, are you still thinking about scientific issues at this time?

Ignoring the scientific fanaticism beside him, Xiaozhi looked at Copalion who was standing with his head held high.

In the last game, we invited the grass-attributed Biligion as an impartial supervisor and instructor, and this time we invited the steel-attributed holy swordsman Gopalion, which is also a unique landscape.

"The rules are the same as yesterday, please."

  Akroma made a quick decision and said loudly:

"Since there are exactly four Pokémon participating, let's start a random match battle."

Ash doesn't have as many Steel-type Pokémon as Grass-type Pokémon, so all participants start at the top four level.

After random matching, the first semi-final match list was released:

  Lucario vs Diamond Steelix!

"Interesting, can we see Diamond Steelix's performance in the first game?!"

Akromah and Professor Oak's eyes lit up at the same time.

Both Pokémon can use mega evolution, and now this ability has been banned, which is fair.

"Come to think of it, I haven't cooperated with Diamond Steelix to mega evolve yet?"

Xiaozhi then came to his senses and wondered if the diamond-shaped Steelix would still look like the one in the illustrated book after mega evolution.

Although he doesn't have Steelix Mega Stone, it's not a big problem. Xiaogang has it, and he will borrow it from him later.

"The original Crystal Onix has evolved into Diamond Steelix. Crystal, Diamond, it's amazing~"

Xiaogang looked at the huge monster at one end of the field with amazement, his eyes narrowed into slits, filled with fiery excitement.

The two Pokémon were already on either side of the rocky ground, and Bulbasaur's vine whip was already across the center.

  Then the whip suddenly rose up and the battle began! !

"Luca!!"

Lucario took the initiative, gathered his palms, and threw out a wave missile to launch the first attack.

However, facing the incoming dark blue energy bomb, Diamond Steelix opened its flat, bloody mouth. Even its uneven row of large teeth were made entirely of hard diamond.

  Bang! !

The diamond teeth directly bit the wave missile into pieces, and the energy exploded at the mouth of Steelix!

Now that Steelix has transformed into a steel + demon attribute, fighting-attribute moves are no longer its weakness!

"Steel Roar!!"

Diamond Steelix roared to the sky, and several huge diamonds suddenly condensed around its body and smashed towards Lucario Rock Seal!

"Have the moves changed from ordinary rock to diamond? No, the properties have changed too!"

In the crowd of onlookers, Xiao Gang's expression changed.

The Rock Seal is the signature move of their Nibi Gym, and is also a souvenir learning machine given to challengers. Xiaogang is very familiar with this move.

  Now, this rock seal was surrounded by a layer of light pink light, and even had fairy-like energy?!

"Luca!"

Lucario's eyes immediately focused, and several clones appeared around his body, spreading out in all directions and avoiding the rock seal that was attacking from the front.

The rock seal has a slowing effect, so you can't be hit by it.

Using the shadow clone state, “numerous” Lucarios attacked Steelix, stretching their arms horizontally while running, condensing a slender wave-guide bone rod.

  Grabbing the bone stick and leaping up, Lucario smashed into Steelix's body with all his strength!

Bone stick beating!!

It has already determined Diamond Steelix's new attribute combination, so the moves that can effectively attack the latter are ground and fire attributes.

It just so happens that it is very proficient in both types of moves!
