Pokémon: When the World Changed

Chapter 580 575: Hydreigon Enters the Scene

"Seen this way, this Vibrava is actually very strong."

Master Morland's gaze flickered for a moment, and a trace of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Could a miracle happen?

"This evasion technique is indeed powerful. But if the airflow is disturbed or interfered with, it won't be able to use it anymore."

"Even if Vibrava managed to defeat Garchomp by sheer luck, it's impossible for it to defeat Kevin's ace, Hydreigon."

The Master from the Sylvara League Valley also spoke, gently shaking his head, clearly not very optimistic about Vibrava.

Seeing this, Master Morland fell silent. Relying on Vibrava to defeat Hydreigon was indeed almost impossible.

...

On the field, the battle continued.

Kevin's Garchomp seemed to specialize in close combat.

Moreover, it seemed that it had only thoroughly developed the move Air Slash and its speed; the rest of its abilities were fairly ordinary.

Therefore, against Vibrava's airflow-based evasion technique, Garchomp currently had no good way to counter it.

"Get ready. Use Sonic Boom!"

Ethan smiled faintly as he gave the command.

Next, Vibrava flapped its wings, and an invisible sound wave spread out violently.

It was said that Garchomp's speed could reach the speed of sound, and its reaction at that moment was extremely fast: with a flash of its figure, it managed to dodge the Sonic Boom.

Boom!

Instantly, sand and stones flew across the field.

"What a powerful attack..."

Seeing the sand thrown up by the explosion, Kevin's gaze tightened.

Although the opponent was only a Vibrava, its offensive power was unexpectedly high.

If Garchomp had been in perfect condition, it wouldn't have needed to fear it so much. But now it was severely injured, and it definitely wouldn't be able to withstand an attack of that level.

"Vibrava is going to win. Who would've thought... even though it hasn't evolved yet, this Vibrava is surprisingly strong."

A different gleam also appeared in the dragon messengers' eyes, though along with it there was clear doubt.

If this Vibrava was already so strong, why hadn't it evolved into Flygon yet?

"Tell me, if Vibrava evolved into Flygon... do you think it could defeat Hydreigon?"

One of the dragon messengers suddenly raised that idea, though he immediately shook his head after saying it.

If Salamence and Garchomp were already so powerful, just how strong must Kevin's signature Pokémon, Hydreigon, be?

On the field, the battle was approaching its end.

Dragging its severely injured body, Garchomp truly had no way to deal with Vibrava.

In the end, it was

hit by the move Sonic Boom and directly lost the ability to battle.

"Your Vibrava is really good. But if it only reaches this level, to be honest, I don't have even the slightest desire to fight right now."

Kevin recalled Garchomp, gently shook his head, and with a resigned expression released Hydreigon.

"Hyydrreegg!"

"Hyydrreegg!"

"Hyydrreegg!"

As soon as it appeared, Hydreigon let out three consecutive dragon roars.

Then, it directed its gaze toward Vibrava, showing clear disdain in its eyes.

It had come out thinking it could finally release the excess energy it had built up... and it ran into something like this. What a disappointment.

"So this is Hydreigon..."

At that moment, Ethan was also observing it carefully.

Hydreigon's body was predominantly blue, with three pairs of wings on its back, two rows of purple patterns on its abdomen, and, as its name implied, three heads.

Of them, only the central head was the real one; the other two had no brains. Moreover, it only had a tail and lacked legs.

"Viiibbrra..."

Vibrava's expression also became very serious.

It was obvious that it had sensed how powerful Hydreigon was.

"Vibrava, use all your strength from the beginning."

Hearing Ethan's command, Vibrava nodded and fixed its gaze firmly on Hydreigon.

"All its strength? And what of it?"

"Hydreigon, attack!"

"Hyydrreegg!"

"Hyydrreegg!"

"Hyydrreegg!"

Hydreigon's three heads roared at the same time.

Immediately afterward, the three launched attacks simultaneously.

The left head used the move Flamethrower, the right one used the move Hydro Pump, and the central head used the move Dragon Pulse.

With the ability to concentrate on three actions at once, the three heads unleashed their power simultaneously, and three moves of different attributes rushed together toward Vibrava.

"Sand Wall!"

Facing Hydreigon's bombardment, Vibrava immediately raised a sand tornado, forming a barrier that wrapped around its entire body.

Boom, boom, boom!

The explosions did not cease, and the sand tornado began to vibrate violently.

Seeing this, Ethan's gaze shifted slightly.

Attacking with three moves at the same time... Hydreigon truly possessed the ability of "one mind, three actions."

And since it naturally had three heads, it seemed to have a natural advantage in mastering that technique.

"It really is one mind, three actions... I wonder if this training method can be copied."

While observing the attack and defense of both Pokémon, Ethan had an idea.

At that moment, his Sandslash had already mastered the technique of "one mind, two actions" and was attempting to advance toward "one mind, three actions," but without clear results.

Perhaps, by studying the Hydreigon family, Sandslash might achieve some breakthrough. If it could master "one mind, three actions," its combined moves would surely make another great leap!

Boom, boom, boom!

While Ethan was thinking, the battle on the field continued.

However, under Hydreigon's fierce long-range bombardment, the sand tornado finally collapsed, raising a cloud of dust across the sky.

"It's over, Tri Attack!"

Seeing the tornado destroyed, Hydreigon directly used its most iconic move: Tri Attack.

The effect of the move Tri Attack is to fire three beams of light that attack the opponent and that may sometimes cause paralysis, burn, or freezing.

"Vibrava, Gust!"

Faced with that scene, Ethan spoke with complete calm.

Immediately, Vibrava's figure spun in place.

Suddenly, three sand tornadoes rose from the ground.

This time, the tornadoes did not wrap around Vibrava's body to defend it, but instead collided directly with the beams fired by Hydreigon's three heads.

Boom, boom, boom!

Three explosions rang out.

It could be seen that the three sand tornadoes collided with the Tri Attack and canceled each other out in the air.

And just after those tornadoes dissipated, three new sand tornadoes formed on the field, attacking Hydreigon from three different directions.

At that moment, Vibrava shifted from defense to offense and launched a direct assault on Hydreigon.

"What incredible control of the wind!"

"And Vibrava isn't even a Flying-type!"

Seeing this, the dragon messengers showed serious expressions. This Vibrava was surprisingly strong.

At first, they thought it would be crushed instantly by Hydreigon, but after several exchanges, not only had it not fallen clearly into a disadvantage, it was now even counterattacking.
