Chapter 73 Battle Against the Aqua Team
Drip directed its six Water-type Pokémon as the main force to suppress Entei, while signaling Izumi to move Professor Solance and the Gran Meteor away.
Although their role has diminished significantly since the volcano ceased activity, anything in the hands of the Aqua Fleet will naturally be exploited until it is completely rendered useless.
Therefore, Quan, along with the dazed Professor Solans, prepared to leave the battle zone near Emperor Yan.
Where are you going?
A slightly lighthearted voice rang in Quan's ears, completely out of place with the atmosphere of the fierce battle at the volcano.
The slender Izumi's pupils contracted, and she released Professor Solans's hand, decisively throwing a Poké Ball:
"Lucky Kappa, high-five surprise attack!"
A kappa with a star mark on its back stretched out its hands and rushed straight toward the source of the sound at a speed disproportionate to its size.
However, the swift, meteor-like high-five attack seemed to have hit an invisible wall, failing to inflict any damage on the enemy.
Quan frowned slightly: "Hold on."
"Bingo!"
Lu An slowly walked out with Espeon, whose Protect had just blocked Ludicolo's surprise attack with a high five.
"Who are you? And why are you here?"
Lu An shrugged, looking relaxed.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"
"As the saying goes, insects are insects and turtles are turtles. You fish, shrimps, turtles and tortoises from the navy, why don't you stay obediently in your one-foot-square stinking ditch? Why did you climb ashore?"
"What, is it your turn to evolve?"
Hearing Lu An's extremely sarcastic words, Quan's beautiful face was twisted with anger:
"We are a fleet dedicated to expanding our ocean area, and we will not tolerate such slander from an unknown nobody like you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu An exaggeratedly pointed his finger at the spring:
"Slander! I'm going to sue you for slander! I'm not some nobody!"
As he spoke, Lu An rummaged around in his pocket and pulled out a crumpled ID card, his eyes full of mockery:
"I'm an assistant investigator in the Hoenn region, not some nobody!"
Upon seeing the crumpled but genuine document, a hint of apprehension first appeared in Quan's eyes, followed by a flash of fierceness:
"So what if you're an investigator? We, the Aqua Team, aren't afraid of you! Lucky Kappa, Waterfall Climb!"
"Lubaba!"
Lucky Duck stomped its feet, quickly bypassing the Protect's defensive range, and attacked Trainer Lu An.
It is incredibly fast; almost no Pokémon of its size can match its speed and agility.
Lu An glanced at the battlefield on the other side of the crater. Where Emperor Yan was, several big-billed gulls were circling around, clouds were gathering in the sky, and torrential rain was pouring down.
The Pelipper with the [Rain] ability is a weather setter for rain teams, and can manually activate rain conditions.
One reason why Entei was suppressed by the Team Aqua members was that Pelipper constantly seized control of the weather, while Entei was suppressed by other Water-type Pokémon and unable to regain control of the weather.
It's only natural that Fire-type Pokémon would be at a disadvantage when battling Water-type Pokémon in the rain.
And while Lu An and Quan were talking, Di had already noticed the situation. Two big-billed gulls quietly flew over the two of them, bringing the heavy rain with them.
In other words, the Lucky Kappa is currently under the influence of the rain.
"Thanks to Ludicolo's [Swift Swim] ability, its agility has doubled. Even your Espeon wouldn't be able to use Protect frequently against Ludicolo's speed, right?"
Looking at the smug-looking spring and the cheerful kappa so close by, Lu An smiled faintly:
"Then I won't protect it."
Having said that, Lu An grabbed a high-grade ball and opened it instantly:
"Mooncloth, the wave of evil."
"Eebu!"
After a fierce clash between Umbreon and Ludicolo, Umbreon remained firmly in place thanks to its powerful physique.
"Mooncloth, swap properties!"
"Lubaba?!"
A burst of spiritual energy lit up Yuebu's forehead. The normally fast-moving Lucky Kappa suddenly felt his body freeze, as if a video that had been played at double speed had been switched back to its original channel, which was very disorienting.
【Characteristic Swap】Swap the characteristics of the enemy and your own side.
Currently, the Pokémon that doubles its speed in the rain is Umbreon with the Swift Swim ability, while Ludicolo has the Focus ability.
"Lubaba!"
ヽ(Д?≡?Д?)?
"Tsk, Lucky Kappa, don't panic, stay calm!"
Although Izumi was also caught off guard by this move, she didn't take it too seriously.
Although Umbreon's Speed is currently higher than Ludicolo's thanks to its Swift Swim ability, it doesn't mean it's helpless.
Her Ludicolo still has an advantage that Umbreon can't match, which is that it also has priority moves in addition to Fake Out!
"Lucky Kappa, grassy field, and then a grassy slide!"
Under the guidance of its trainer, Ludicolo quickly calmed down: "Rupa rupa!"
The grassy terrain, which restores stamina and enhances Grass-type power, covers half the field. Ludicolo sings and dances as it slides across the uneven crater like it's on grass.
Even with Umbreon's current speed, it still couldn't dodge in time and was struck by Ludicolo's palm.
Lu An scratched his head: "Although it's called a field battle, it seems a bit excessive for three of you to take on one of us."
As he spoke, Lu An released Volcarona again, bringing his total number of Pokémon to three, including the two Eevee.
Looking at the Espeon and Volcarona beside Lu An, Quan sneered:
"So what if it's 3 against 3? We're the Rain Team, our strength is far beyond what 1+1+1 can compare to, not to mention you also have a fire-type..."
Halfway through his sentence, Quan paused slightly. What was Lu An planning to do by releasing a fire moth in the rain?
What is Lu An planning to do?
He quickly provided the answer:
"Light cloth, fire worm, clear skies!"
“Buyi”.
"No~"
Lightcloth and Fire Moth slowly stepped forward, their bodies surging with energy, and a feeling of intense heat began to spread outward from them.
Even in the rain, Izumi subconsciously felt a little annoyed.
Izumi, with his rich battle experience, exclaimed in shock: "Oh no! He's trying to steal the weather! Ludicolo, stop them!"
"Lubaba!"
However, just as the Lucky Kappa was about to use the same trick again, the grass slide, it suddenly sensed something was wrong.
"Eebu!"

[Divine Skill: Provocation]
(You fucking come here!)
When Ludicolo saw Umbreon, which had stolen his ability and was even hit by him, standing unflinchingly in front of Elastico and Volcarona, and even daring to mock him, he was instantly enraged.
"Lubaba!"
(?д?╬)
Ludicolo is a Pokémon that is always in high spirits. When it gets carried away, it doesn't even listen to its own trainer, so Umbreon's provocation effect is particularly significant.
Ludicolo completely forgot about the two Pokémon behind Umbreon that were fighting over the weather; all it wanted now was to give the Eevee in front of it a good beating.
"Luba baba baba!"
The kappa's anger!
