X Attack is a rare item that can boost a pokémon's physical attack capability by two stages, equivalent to one use of Swords Dance.
Similarly, X Speed can boost a pokémon's speed capability by two stages, equivalent to Agility.
Most importantly, using these two items does not consume a pokémon's move turn, and their effects are not influenced by the pokémon's Abilities or moves.
As soon as he made his move, Clem displayed terrifying strength, not only easily breaking Adrian's offensive but also instantly defeating Dratini, which was practically a complete dominance over Adrian.
But after X Attack and X Speed took effect on Gyarados, Clem keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"What is going on with this Gyarados?"
A shadow seemed to fall over Clem's heart, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was amiss.
Just then, Fearow's attack arrived, its terrifying beak striking fiercely like a drill.
After instantly defeating Dratini, the two Fearow became even more arrogant, completely disregarding the remaining Gyarados and Pikachu.
In their view, taking care of Pikachu was just a matter of a single peck.
Gyarados might be slightly more troublesome, but not by much.
"Awooo~"
But just then, accompanied by an earth-shattering dragon roar, terrifying water waves suddenly appeared around Gyarados, as if the water from an entire pond had been swept up.
Within these massive, rising waves, ferocious Flood Dragons roared and swam, their eyes filled with killing intent.
"Gyarados, push through!!!"
Adrian roared in fury, his voice turning hoarse.
"Awooo~"
Gyarados felt Adrian's rage, and the power of its move instantly intensified, striking fiercely towards the Fearow in the air with the might of nature itself, like crashing waves hitting the shore.
"Caw~ Caw~"
The two Fearow realized the danger.
Although they were inherently vicious and known as aerial thugs, they were also creatures that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
When facing a truly ferocious Gyarados, they would only retreat far away.
However, under the boost of X Speed, Gyarados's speed skyrocketed, creating afterimages as it flew.
Even though the two Fearow were skilled flyers, it was too late to run now. They could only exchange glances and quickly split up, one moving left and the other right, to avoid being caught in one sweep.
Physical Attack Boost!
Rain Boost!
Sea Kings Authority!
At this moment, Gyarados's physical attack capability had clearly reached a terrifying level.
Boom!
Waterfall struck, and one Fearow cried out, instantly turning into a streak of light that flew a hundred meters before finally hitting the Ground.
Even so, a large crater was smashed into the Ground.
As for Fearow itself, its eyes were already swirling, and countless feathers had been knocked off its body.
Fearow, instantly defeated!
"Awooo~"
After securing the first defeat, Gyarados's Moxie Ability was successfully activated.
Accompanied by a roar, its physical attack capability increased yet again.
"Not good! This guy was playing possum. He was hiding his strength just now—"
Seeing this, Clem had no time to grieve or recall the defeated Fearow, and he quickly controlled Skarmory to retreat.
But Adrian clearly didn't want him to leave so calmly, and he gritted his teeth and commanded: "Pikachu, Thunder!"
Boom!
Thanks to the lightning flashing within the rainy dark clouds, Pikachu's Thunder move was no longer limited to generating electricity internally; it could now draw lightning directly from the dark clouds across hundreds of meters, striking the enemy head-on.
"Damn it! Skarmory, Flash Cannon!"
Clem's face was grim, and cold sweat constantly beaded on his forehead.
Although Pikachu's Thunder move was quite powerful, it clearly posed no threat to him.
However, in the process of defending against the attack, Skarmory's speed would inevitably decrease, or even halt completely.
Boom!
Flash Cannon and the lightning collided again, causing a fierce explosion.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The strong wind generated by the explosion forced Skarmory back a few steps before it flapped its wings and flew again.
Only then did Clem finally have time to check on the situation of the other Fearow.
He saw the ferocious Gyarados, carrying astonishing waves, charging out again in the sky hundreds of meters away, seemingly capable of punching a hole through the heavens.
Facing such a terrifying offensive, Fearow dared not block it head-on and could only pin its hopes on Protect.
Buzz!
A translucent barrier appeared, giving Fearow a slight sense of security.
But only for an instant!
Because as Gyarados struck, the Protect barrier shattered instantly upon impact.
In the face of Gyarados's absolute power, Protect simply couldn't hold up.
Not only did it fail to hold, but it didn't even consume much of Gyarados's power. Gyarados's momentum remained unchecked, slamming heavily into Fearow's body.
"Caw~"
With a miserable cry, the remaining Fearow was also defeated.
"Awooo~"
Accompanied by a roar, Gyarados's aura increased once more!
Then, it fixed its gaze on Skarmory, which was desperately Flying away, slammed its tail down, and shot straight into the air like a rocket.
Immediately afterward, strong winds materialized out of nowhere, lifting Gyarados and pushing it closer to Skarmory.
"Stay away from me!!!"
Watching the ferocious Gyarados rapidly closing in, looking as if it were about to swallow him whole, Clem completely broke down.
This Gyarados isn't just powerful, it can fly too?
What kind of monstrous young man did he provoke?
"Awooo~"
Adrian didn't need to give a command; under the boost of Rain and Sea Kings Authority, other moves had lost their significance.
As long as Gyarados attacked, it just needed to mindlessly choose Waterfall!
Crash!
The sound of rushing water grew loud; this was the precursor to Gyarados's attack.
But if Fearow couldn't withstand Gyarados, Skarmory clearly stood no chance.
Therefore, Clem decisively abandoned Skarmory and leaped down from mid-air.
Boom!
Skarmory was struck, and its body was pushed back a hundred meters by the terrifying force.
Although Skarmory was covered in metal armor, Gyarados's power at this moment was already comparable to that of a deity, and it was simply impossible for Skarmory to resist.
Consequently, Skarmory was also instantly defeated!
In contrast, Clem released a peculiar pokémon that had characteristics of both a scorpion and a bat, was entirely grayish-purple, had a pair of bright yellow eyes, and massive black bat wings on its back.
It was the Ground/Flying pokémon—Gliscor!
With Gliscor's support, Clem quickly landed on the Ground, avoiding a fatal fall.
Immediately after, he released all the remaining pokémon he held.
One was a huge pokémon that looked like a large brown bear with a yellow circle on its abdomen.
The other was a fierce pokémon that looked like a Hell Hound, entirely grayish-black, with large, curved horns on its head, and light gray bone-like structures encircling its neck and back.
Unfortunately, neither of these two pokémon could provide Clem with a sense of security.
Watching Gyarados charging down from the sky, shaking its head and tail, Clem's eyelids twitched wildly.
