Chapter 168 Champion's Protective Shield

After Corviknight evolves, its type changes from a simple Flying type to Flying + Steel.

From the perspective of its own strength, this is undoubtedly better.

Steel is a well-known defensive type. With the Steel type, Corviknight gains two immunity and eight resistances.

For Corviknight, a Flying Pokémon that serves as an investigator, the benefits of evolution far outweigh the drawbacks.

However, the only drawback of steel is that it is vulnerable to fire.

Before Burning Bug evolves, Corviknight can barely suppress Burning Bug, which has mastered Phosphorus and Overheat, thanks to its own flight ability and mobility.

However, when the Burning Bug evolved into the Volcano Moth, the situation reversed.

When it evolves into Volcarona, it gains the ability to fly at low altitudes, which means that it is no longer at the mercy of Corviknight in battles and can no longer be forced to passively take hits.

Moreover, its flames can cover a wider area.

Corviknight found itself in a very difficult position during its battle with Volcarona, and was eventually defeated.

As a proud overlord of the sky, it was astonished to see that the Burning Bug, which rarely appeared under its nose, could actually stand on equal footing with it after evolution, and even defeat it.

Even his own teammates, the fiercely competitive Corviknight couldn't tolerate this.

Therefore, it frequently sought out Volcanoes for sparring after that.

The "Sunmoth," which evolved from a small insect, has undergone a major change in its mindset. It is no longer afraid of birds flying in the sky and never refuses the challenge of the Corviknight.

After a while, the sparks between these two Pokémon became much more intense than those between other Pokémon.

This is why Corviknight couldn't wait to battle Volcarona as soon as it returned from this trip, and after a brief warm-up, the battle between the two Pokémon entered a heated phase.

However, Lu An, who had been observing everything, did not interfere much.

The fact that they were able to become Lu An's Pokémon and grow to their current level shows that they are both determined and have been through a lot of trials.

In addition, they often fight side by side, and the friendship they have developed is incomparable to that of ordinary Pokémon, so Lu An is not worried at all about whether the two will become enemies because of this.

Or rather, Lu An even welcomed the enthusiasm for the battles between the two Pokémon.

After all, seeing its former partner, whom it had suppressed so fiercely, suddenly rise to prominence and even surpass it in strength, the competitive Corviknight naturally worked twice as hard in its training.

Seeing that it had the means to turn the tide, Volcarona, not wanting to return to the days when the sun was blocked by Corviknight's wings, would not slacken its efforts either.

Neither of them gave way to the other; they encouraged and competed with each other, which is why they have achieved what they have today in just a few years.

Corviknight became the honorary instructor of the Corviknight flock in the Galar region, and often went to Galar to mentor the younger ones.

Volcarona has become a main battle Pokémon that can rival Swampert, letting evil organizations see what "the investigator's sun" really means.

The conversation in the stands did not affect the rhythm of the two Pokémon on the field.

As it twisted and turned, the Volcano Moth spun and danced, its scales vaporizing into a golden-red mist in the extreme heat, and gusts of hot air rushed toward the Corviknight.

The Steel Crow's jet-black wings, which had been soaring through the air, suddenly reversed, drawing sharp-angled lines in the sky while enveloped in a cloud of explosive energy.

The lingering afterimage on the dive trajectory that should have been engulfed by flames is now being burned into distorted, transparent amber by Volcano's "Dance of Fire".

The Armored Raven cleaved through the flames with its wings, arriving behind Volcano. It stretched out its thick yet incredibly sharp feathers and turned to slash at Volcano.

Volcarona stopped its dance, dodging Aerial Return, and simultaneously ignited Corviknight's feathers with its own flames.

Seeing the situation was unfavorable, the Corviknight flapped its wings and flew away, maintaining a distance of about an arena level from the Volcarona. Then, it slowly folded its wings and landed on the ground.

"Feather Perch" can restore a large amount of the user's stamina.

Seeing this, Volcano did not rush to pursue, but instead tacitly moved to the other side of the arena.

Its body, like a spotlight shining on a bar at night, became brighter than any other place.

Because all the suns gather on it.

The damage inflicted on its body by Corviknight's Flying-type moves is also recovering at a visible rate.

"Morning Light".

Restores a large amount of the user's stamina.

Both Pokémon tacitly chose to "take a break" halftime.

After a short break, the two Pokémon, as if by telepathy, finished recharging at the same time and stood facing each other across the entire arena.

"Wow!"

The Armored Raven's wings began to flap, gradually increasing in speed, and small tornadoes gradually formed beneath its wings, raging towards the Volcano Moth.

If back then at Yuanshan Lake, the gale-force winds whipped up by more than ten gyaru dragons could have swept up the surface of the lake and broken the trees along the way.

The power of Steel Crow's tornado was so great that even across the arena, Longze and the others felt as if they were about to be sucked in.

Xiao Zhu stood on the stands and gently pressed the button in her hand.

A surge of superpower energy permeated the area around the arena, instantly calming the storm that had been tearing through the crowd in the stands.

"What is this? Why can't I feel the 'Storm' that Corviknight used?"

Seeing Long Ze's surprised expression, Xiao Zhu proudly twitched her nose:

"You don't understand, do you? This is a unique device of our Goldenrod Gym that can form a superpower protective shield around the arena."

"You should know that the arena in front of you is capable of withstanding intense clashes at the champion level. Its so-called withstanding capacity is not only the impact of Pokémon on the arena, but also the protection of the audience outside the arena."

"With this device, even if the champion Pokémon attacks out of the ring with all its might, everyone can be guaranteed to be safe."

Long Ze looked around the arena, marveling at it.

The calm in the stands was thanks to the Goldenrod Gym's signature skills, but the Volcarona in the ring didn't get the same treatment.

The fierce storm almost prevented the fire moth from flapping its wings freely.

However, Volcarona has its own countermeasures against the Flying-type move "Hurricane".

"Well!"

The fire moth flapped its wings faster and faster, and tiny sparks appeared in its wings.

At first, these flames were like candles flickering in the wind under the onslaught of the "storm".

Strangely, these small sparks of fire were not extinguished by the fierce wind; instead, they swelled with the wind and quickly turned into a hot wind carrying flames.

As the saying goes, the wind fanned the flames of a fire, and the fire borrowed the power of the wind. Vulcan used Steelraven's "storm" to send his own "hot wind" back to his opponent.

Soon, the two Pokémon's two hurricanes each occupied half of the arena, encroaching on each other's living space, neither willing to give an inch.

Under such a high-density, high-intensity energy impact, the superpower protective shield around the arena immediately became overwhelmed.

Even Long Ze, who wasn't particularly sensitive to superpowers, seemed to see a transparent protective shield constantly deforming amidst the violent collision of wind and fire, almost emitting a distorted "creaking" sound.
