Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 530 Dragon Showdown!

Xiaochun had never seen so many Dragonites at the same time.

When she was stared at by the big eyes of the Dragonite dressed as couriers, she was completely stunned.

It was not until the group of Dragonites put away their curiosity, turned around and flew towards the ranch that Xiaochun's tense heart finally relaxed a little.

Xiaochun, who has been dealing with dragon-attribute Pokémon for many years, can feel that the group of Dragonites have no ill will towards them, they are just simply curious.

Xiaochun turned his gaze towards the ranch, and then said to Dragonite:

"Dragonite, let's follow!"

"Ouch!"

Dragonite responded, then leaned forward and rushed out. Soon, it brought its trainer to the top of the ranch.

In sight, the group of Dragonites that arrived first had already landed smoothly and dispersed.

Some dragonets found a shady place and sat on the ground. They took out a box of boffins from somewhere and ate the boffins with relish, looking very relaxed.

Some Dragonites had RotomPhones floating in front of them, and those Dragonites were talking to the RotomPhones.
Another Dragonite ran into a building, took out some bottles of milk and stuffed them into its bag, then flapped its dragon wings and flew away.

At this time, Xiaochun saw a tall man walking out of the room.

The man was accompanied by a mysterious Pokémon that was strong and full of wildness.

That Pokémon has a pair of captivating golden pupils, and its body is covered with scarlet scales. Under the scales are terrifying muscles. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, one can feel the explosive power contained within.

Xiaochun felt an extremely strong dragon aura from that Pokémon.

This made her realize one thing in an instant - this trainer was also an expert at using Dragon-attribute Pokémon!
There are no bad people who like dragons. Xiao Chun's eyes lit up. Although she was very excited in her heart, she still maintained basic calmness on her face and let Dragonite land in the ranch.

"Ah gah?"

Naoki, who was helping Dragonite load cargo, suddenly heard Gulden's cry.

"What's wrong, Gulerton?" Naoki asked while turning back.

The next second, he saw a Dragonite he had never seen before landing on his ranch.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure jumped down from Dragonite and landed steadily on the grass.

Naoki heard the man say to him respectfully:

"Senior, I am Xiaochun from Yanmo City in the Johto region. I heard of your great name and came here specially to visit you!"

Hearing this name, Naoki was slightly stunned.

Xiaochun? Did he hear correctly? Isn't that A'du's cousin, the owner of Yanmo Gym?

"Yanmo City? You are from the Yulong family, right?" Naoki looked at the Dragonite next to Xiaochun and asked casually.

Xiao Chun's heart trembled. She never expected that the other party could guess her background right away. How did this senior know that?

What surprised Xiaochun even more was the aura of a hermit master that the other person exuded.

"Senior, you have good eyesight!" Xiao Chun nodded.

Naoki: "..."

He was a little uncomfortable looking at Xiaochun's respectful look, but Xiaochun seemed to be like this in the anime.

Born into a dragon-controlling family, she deeply loves dragon-attribute Pokémon, can understand the feelings of dragon-attribute Pokémon, and calm down angry dragon-attribute Pokémon.

Xiaochun also respects those who use dragon-attribute Pokémon, such as her cousin Adu, the gym leader Shaka of Shuanglong City in the Unova region, and other trainers who are proficient in dragon-attribute Pokémon.

"What are you doing here?" Naoki asked.

"I have collected eight badges in the Padiya region and passed the champion assessment." Xiaochun said bluntly: "The chief said that I am now qualified to fight you, so I want to challenge you to a dragon duel!"

Naoki was stunned on the spot.

The leader of the Yanmo Gym came all the way to the Padia region, collected eight badges and passed the championship test. He went through so much effort just to have a Pokémon battle with him?

Xiaochun, this is too exaggerated...

"I see."

Naoki heaved a sigh of relief. Xiaochun had put so much effort into fighting him, he couldn't let him make another trip in vain.

"In that case, let's have a fight!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chun's eyes lit up, and a serious look appeared between her brows: "Senior, please give me more advice!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably just want to have a battle with my dragon Pokémon, right?" Naoki asked as he walked towards the battle area with Xiaochun.

Xiaochun nodded: "Yes, it would be best if we could have a 6v6 dragon duel!"

Naoki: "..."

6v6...which meant he had to send out six dragon-type Pokémon.

But the only Pokémon in the ranch that can truly be considered fighting Pokémon are Motorbike, Gultron, and Dragonite, if you don't count Dragonite and Giratina.

"I currently only have three Dragon-attribute Pokémon that I can use in battle," Naoki said.

Although Xiaochun felt a little regretful, she changed her mind and thought that this was already very good. If she gave it her all, maybe her Pokémon could really get a big improvement in the battle.

Thinking of this, Xiaochun nodded and said, "Then please!"

Naoki nodded, and then asked Guerrilla to call both Motorlizard and Dragonite over.

After a while, all three Pokémon arrived and stood in a row behind Naoki.

Xiaochun's eyes swept over the three Pokémon.

The one on the far left is a Motorlizard, a Pokémon she had encountered before on the way to the gym challenge, but it was a wild one.

However, Naoki-senpai's Motorlizard looks ordinary and does not seem to be his main Pokémon.

Standing in the middle is a Dragonite. This Dragonite should be the Dragonite that Adu mentioned that can seize the weather.

Seize the weather? In that case, she would borrow the weather that the other party called out later! Xiaochun decided to take it for herself.

As for the Pokémon standing on the far right, Xiaochun heard Naoki-senpai call it Guldon.

The dragon intuition told Xiaochun that the Pokémon named Guledon was very dangerous. Its dragon aura was the strongest among the three Pokémon, and its strength was probably the strongest.

In that case, she should use that Pokémon first!

Xiaochun threw a Poké Ball into the air.

A white light flashed, and a Pokémon with a ferocious expression and fierce eyes slammed down onto the field.

"call out--"

Seeing that the two were ready, the elder brother Ai Guanshi, who was acting as the referee, immediately blew the whistle in his hand.

The first match of Dragon Duel, Motorlizard vs. Gyarados!
"Gyarados, Dance of Dragons!"

At the beginning of the battle, Xiaochun waved his hand and chose a more stable and conservative style of play.

Seeing this, Naoki also said to Motorlizard: "Shift gears."

On the field, Gyarados performed a fierce war dance, and the tire on Motorlizard's chest began to spin at high speed in the white light.

Before Gyarados's war dance was over, Motorlizard had already successfully changed gears.

"Dragon Claw!"

The Motorcycle Lizard immediately flew out, and a strong purple light emerged from its huge claws. The light turned into a pair of huge dragon claws and swung towards Gyarados.

Just then Gyarados finished using Dragon Dance, so Xiaochun immediately ordered: "Water Tail, interrupt it!"

However, before she could finish her words, the dragon claws of the Motor Lizard hit Gyarados, leaving three clear claw marks on its chest.

The Gyarados was furious in pain. It swung its huge tail, and a huge amount of water energy spread upward, creating a huge wave. "Get out of the way!"

At Naoki's command, the motorcycle lizard quickly withdrew.

Gyarados's water tail slammed the ground hard.

"What a fast speed!" Xiao Chun was a little surprised.

However, the next second, the Motorcycle Lizard rushed towards Gyarados again, wrapped its tail with dragon energy, and swept towards Gyarados fiercely.

Gyarados was not to be outdone and swung its huge, resilient tail.

The next second, the two tails collided, and a fierce splash of water burst out. The huge force continued to collide and blend, and finally turned into water splashes all over the sky, exploding like it was raining.

Gyarados gasped heavily. As the dragon user, Xiaochun naturally knew what the dragon-attribute Pokémon feared the most.

So she gave the order without hesitation: "Gyarados, Freeze Fang!"

"Motor Lizard, Crazy Volt!"

"Buzz!"

A crackling sound of electricity came out from between the high-speed rotating gears, and the yellow current immediately enveloped the entire body of the Motorcycle Lizard.

The Motor Lizard's eyes locked onto the Gyarados in front of it, and the next second, it rushed out swiftly.

As soon as Xiao Chun saw the electricity coming out of the motorcycle lizard, he secretly thought that something was wrong.

That motorcycle lizard can actually use electric-attribute moves!
But it was too late.

On the field, the two Pokémon collided with each other.

Before Gyarados's freezing teeth could bite, a powerful electric current surged into its body the next second.

Electricity, flying, and water collided with each other, and a violent force swept across in an instant. Gyarados suddenly opened his eyes wide, and then lost his ability to fight in a strong stinging sensation.

Xiaochun: “!!!”

The elder brother Ai Butler stepped forward to examine Gyarados' body before announcing, "Aiya!"

"If Pokémon can master more moves, they will be able to face a wider variety of opponents," said Naoki.

"I lost." Xiao Chun said. She didn't just lose because of the information gap, because compared to the Motorcycle Lizard, the speed of Gyarados was too slow.

"Come back, Gyarados!" Xiaochun put Gyarados back into the Poké Ball and then took out the second Poké Ball.

Accompanied by a flash of white light, a Pokémon that looked like a seahorse, with dragon horns on its head and scales shining with beautiful luster appeared in the battle field.

The name of that Pokémon appeared in Naoki's mind - Thornbill.

The final evolution of Inkhorion, and one of Tsubaki's signature Pokémon.

"Have you changed your Pokémon?" Naoki said to Motorlizard: "Motorlizard, come back! Dragonite, this battle is up to you!"

"Gah!"

"Ouch!"

The two Pokémon exchanged, Motorlizard returned to Naoki's back, while Dragonite flew to the battlefield and looked at Dragonite with its cute big eyes.

The second round of Dragon Duel, Dragonite vs. Dragonite!
As soon as the battle started, Dragonite summoned the storm as usual.

In an instant, the sky changed rapidly.

A heavy rain began to fall from the originally clear sky, and an extremely strong gale blew in the air.

Strong winds mixed with heavy rain swept across the entire battlefield.

Dragonite flapped its wings and stood firmly in the storm, as if it was not affected by the environment at all.

Seeing this scene, the Thorn Dragon King looked alert.

Xiaochun also frowned.

Du was right. This Dragonite did have unique attainments in the move of praying for rain, so much so that the opponent could not compete with it for the weather.

However, it doesn't matter.

"Dragon King, yawn!" Xiao Chun waved his hand and gave the order immediately.

King Thor yawned at Dragonite.

The originally energetic Dragonite was immediately infected and began to become drowsy.

"Dragonite, you can't sleep, hold on!"

In a daze, Naoki's voice came from far away.

Naoki...

Dragonite didn't fall into sleep!
"Did you resist the yawn?" Xiao Chun was a little surprised, but she didn't feel regretful because her plan had been successful!

"Dragon King, now is the time, use the Freeze Beam while Dragonite is still not fully awake!"

As the order was given, a beam of cold light condensed from the mouth of the Thorn Dragon King.

The next second, the beam of light shot out, and the extreme coldness instantly froze the falling rain, and it blasted towards Dragonite with a fierce momentum.

The hit Dragonite instantly woke up from the pain, with an extremely painful expression on his face. He was even unable to maintain flight and fell to the ground.

That incredibly powerful freezing beam directly hit Dragonite hard!

Seeing this scene, Naoki frowned slightly.

Something is wrong! Why is the power of that freezing beam so strong?
As if seeing his confusion, Xiaochun explained with a smile: "My Thorn Dragon King's characteristic is sniper!"

The Sniper attribute means that when a Pokémon's moves hit a vital point, their power becomes even stronger.

"However, after being hit by this move, Dragonite was still able to stand up... Could it be that its characteristic is multiple scales?" Xiaochun guessed.

Naoki sighed, "Looks like we have to go all out, too."

"Then please give me your guidance, Senior!" Xiao Chun commanded loudly: "Dragon King, use another freezing beam!"

"Dragonite, Storm!" Naoki's voice sounded at the same time.

Dragonite immediately flew into the air, flapped its wings, and created a strong storm.

Suddenly, the storm became more severe.

The huge force generated by the airflow made it impossible for the Thorn Dragon King to even stand steadily.

The beam of ice that had just condensed from its mouth missed the target.

Seeing this scene, Xiaochun realized that something was wrong.

She looked at the horrific storm in front of her and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Is this the true strength of Naoki-senpai? !

Shocked, Xiao Chun shouted, "Dragon King, hold on!"

However, the next second, a loud thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

Xiao Chun subconsciously raised his head and saw an extremely thick lightning bolt falling from the clouds. The strong electric light instantly engulfed the body of the Thorn Dragon King.

A huge storm swept in at the same time, and suddenly, wind, rain, thunder and lightning blended together, complementing each other, producing an especially terrifying force.

With a loud "boom", the ground was struck by lightning and turned into a charred black color.

After a while, the heavy rain gradually stopped.

On the ground, only the charred Thorn Dragon King was left, lying powerlessly on the ground, his two eyes beginning to circle like mosquito coils.
