Cradily's roots were very tough, so the protective effect of the Root Domain had always been good. However, as the ancient sky overlord, Aerodactyl's attack power was also not weak.
The sharp rocks condensed by its "Stone Edge" were like chisels, extrely sharp, easily piercing into the Root Domain and continuing to penetrate. This was the advantage of breaking a surface with a point!
Soon, a large hole was chiseled in the Root Domain, revealing Cradily's body inside.
"Cra~dily~"
Cradily let out a low grunt. Obviously, Cradily was injured!
"Seize the mont, Iron Head!"
Xia Tian waved his hand, preparing to expand the results while he could. Steel-type moves were super effective against Cradily.
"Aero~"
With a flap of its wings, Basalt saw Aerodactyl turn into a stream of light, its skull changing from gray stone to tallic luster, slamming fiercely into Cradily. Cradily had no ti to dodge, nor could it dodge.
"Cradily, block it with Protect."
Basalt sneered repeatedly, "Then use the Root Domain to trap Aerodactyl!"
You fly high in the sky; I can't do anything to you for a short ti. Since you engage in close combat, that happens to be our strong suit too!
A semi-transparent light shield appeared, blocking Aerodactyl outside. While the two were deadlocked, Cradily was already controlling the Root Domain to close, trying to trap Aerodactyl.
Unfortunately, Aerodactyl was obviously not easy to deal with either. When the roots began to close, Aerodactyl's tail also flashed with tallic luster, slashing back and forth like a sharp milling cutter, directly cutting off large patches of roots.
Steel-type move: Iron Tail!
Aerodactyl's Iron Tail prevented Cradily's Root Domain from closing completely. Coincidentally, at this ti, the effect of Protect ended.
"Aero~"
Aerodactyl showed a ferocious expression. Its two claws instantly beca large and thick, extrely sharp, slapping Cradily repeatedly.
Dragon-type move: Dragon Claw!
"Cra~dily~"
Cradily cried out in pain, its tentacles and head retracting involuntarily.
Seeing this, Aerodactyl pressed its advantage. Its teeth suddenly filled with a chilling aura, biting down fiercely with its bloody mouth.
Ice-type move: Ice Fang!
"Triple threat!"
Basalt narrowed his eyes slightly. Simultaneously using three different non-STAB moves; have to say, this Aerodactyl was trained extrely well by Xia Tian.
Cradily was injured again, its HP dropping like a flood from an opened gate. Because Ice-type moves were also super effective against Cradily. If not for Cradily's "Curse" boosting Defense by one stage, its amazing HP, and "Ingrain" frantically storing energy, its HP bar would have been emptied directly.
"Still not unable to battle?"
Xia Tian frowned slightly. This HP was a bit excessive, right? Even a Snorlax couldn't withstand such a combo. But Cradily withstood it forcefully, although it looked a bit wilting and dispirited now.
"Cra~dily~"
Just then, Cradily let out a strange cry, and a beam of light shot out from each tentacle. Aerodactyl was fast, but the distance was too close to dodge.
The light hit, and Aerodactyl felt a mysterious connection established with Cradily. Consequently, Aerodactyl's HP began to plumt. Conversely, Cradily's aura began to climb back up.
Pain Split!
In an instant, the HP of the two Pokémon was pulled to the sa level!
"Cradily, Recover!"
Basalt's indifferent voice rang out, making Aerodactyl tense up, feeling a chill on its neck. If Cradily succeeded, wouldn't the desperate fight just now be in vain? This wouldn't do!
"Aerodactyl, Giga Impact!"
Xia Tian's voice also carried a hint of panic. The thoughts of the trainer and Pokémon aligned at this mont. Absolutely cannot let Cradily recover!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Rich elental energy gathered on Aerodactyl, instantly forming a thick energy protective layer, like white airflow armor. Aerodactyl didn't need a running start; charging straight from its position contained terrifying destructive power.
Boom!
A dull collision sound rang out from the Root Domain, triggering an explosion.
"Cradily, hold on!"
Basalt gritted his teeth and looked at the battlefield. Seeing the gap in the Root Domain originally broken by Aerodactyl slowly repairing, he breathed a sigh of relief. Cradily held on!
And at this mont, Xia Tian finally realized sothing was wrong. This was another trap! Basalt intentionally lured Aerodactyl into a fierce attack. Because when casting an ultimate move, Aerodactyl must go all out, which prevented its "Iron Tail" from continuing to cut the Root Domain. Thus, Cradily's Root Domain closed, trapping Aerodactyl inside.
"Aero~"
Sure enough, when the Root Domain turned into a perfect sphere again, Aerodactyl's screams soon ca from inside. And from the gaps in the roots, streams of splashing water flowed out, covering the ground.
Water-type move: Brine!
This is a move whose effect doubles when the Pokémon is below half HP. And Aerodactyl's HP was obviously unhealthy after being split by Cradily. Not to ntion, Water-type moves naturally countered the Rock-type Aerodactyl.
The screams only lasted a few seconds before there was no movent in the Root Domain.
After an unknown amount of ti, the Root Domain opened, revealing the situation inside. After taking a "Giga Impact," Cradily was also tottering, obviously close to the limit of exhaustion. Because the land energy of the venue had been absorbed by it, and its own stored energy had also been activated once. And since it was night now without sun, its "Synthesis" naturally couldn't be discussed. Unless it absorbed from other Pokémon.
Fortunately, Aerodactyl had fainted with swirling eyes, covered in salty brine.
"Cra~dily~"
Cradily opened all its tentacles and let out a low cry. What bullshit Sky King? Didn't you fall at the feet of , the top hunter of the deep sea?
"Return, Aerodactyl!"
Xia Tian exhaled a turbid breath forcefully, looking at Basalt with deep apprehension. Basalt's tactics might not be that novel, but the Pokémon's abilities were truly weird. Without knowing in advance, it was easy to suffer losses. Two Pokémon with similar strength, yet one was unaffected by Taunt? Simply unheard of, unseen before!
"Basalt, your Cradily is indeed very strong!"
Shaking his head to dispel negative emotions, Xia Tian took out another Pokéball, a smile reappearing on his face.
"Aerodactyl as a fossil Pokémon has only been revived for two years. The Alliance's understanding of it isn't deep enough, and my training thods are not mature yet. But you training Cradily to this extent really surprises ."
Xia Tian sighed with emotion, then threw the Pokéball, "But this little guy won't be defeated easily again! Go, Dragonair!"
Dragonair is a long serpentine Pokémon, with a slender body covered in sapphire scales and a bright white belly. It has a pair of black eyes, a small white horn on its forehead, two small wing-like feathers on the sides of its head, and three crystal-like blue orbs on its body: one under its neck and two at the end of its tail.
"Dragonair?" Basalt raised an eyebrow.
Dragonair inhabits beautiful seas or lakes and is called a divine Pokémon. Although it has no wings, it can fly freely in the air. Moreover, it stores huge energy in its body and can manipulate the weather by concentrating power in the crystal-like orbs on its neck and tail.
When its whole body is enveloped by an aura and glows faintly, the surrounding weather changes suddenly. Since ancient tis, it has been worshipped by people engaged in agriculture as the controller of weather. People believe it can control the weather, so offerings are constantly placed in the lakes where Dragonair inhabits.
Although Dragonair is a Dragon-type Pokémon, it gains the Flying type after evolving into Dragonite, so Basalt wasn't surprised it was in Xia Tian's team!
And the sharp-eyed Basalt also discovered that the orb on the neck of Xia Tian's Dragonair was much darker in color than the other two, seemingly hiding amazing power within.
Thus, Basalt recalled Cradily. Because the Dragonair in front of him looked hard to deal with, and Cradily was already at its physical limit. Defeating Aerodactyl ant its mission was successfully completed!
Seeing this, Xia Tian's eyes showed unconcealable anticipation.
"Dra~gon~"
Dragonair moved like a swimming dragon, appearing extrely elegant.
"Since you sent out a pseudo-legendary transition form, I obviously have to send a Pokémon of equal status."
Glancing at Xia Tian and Dragonair, Basalt understood the implied aning, untied a Pokéball from his belt, and threw it forcefully: "Go, Pupitar!"
"Pu-pi~"
Pupitar took the field, spraying strong airflows from its body, supporting it to float in mid-air, facing Dragonair from a distance.
