Unexpectedly, it even triggered a quest, and the reward included a Master Ball.
The Master Ball is the most precious Poké Ball, capable of capturing any Pokémon with 100% success. Isn't that an overpowered effect?
However, this isn't a game. It's uncertain if the Master Ball can directly capture a Legendary Pokémon. It's likely not, otherwise, such a simple quest wouldn't reward it.
This quest was to challenge an Elite Four-level Pokémon. In fact, the quest wasn't difficult because it didn't specify winning or losing; rewards were given regardless, making it a simple quest.
[Master Ball: Can capture any Pokémon below Legendary Pokémon, even those of Champion strength!]
After checking the Master Ball's description, it was indeed as expected. Even the Master Ball couldn't capture Legendary Pokémon. Becoming a one-ball wonder was impossible.
But that doesn't mean the Master Ball is useless. After all, it can forcibly capture Champion-level Pokémon. Whether they will obey after being captured is another matter.
"Old Zhang, I want to challenge your Elite Four-level Pokémon."
"Are you serious?" Old Zhang looked at Jiang Chen.
"Yes, I'm serious. Although I know I'll probably lose, I still want to give it a try."
"Alright, I'll agree to it, but don't get discouraged if you lose."
Seeing Jiang Chen's determined expression, Old Zhang nodded.
"Old Zhang, you're underestimating me too much. Do you think I've never lost before?"
Jiang Chen indicated that he had lost countless times. His home had a whole bunch of Elite Four members, and every challenge ended in failure.
However, those Elite Four members at home were too strong. Their strength was basically never below Elite Four Tier Five. It would be strange if he could win against them.
"Come out, Jolteon."
One of Eevee's evolutions, the terrifyingly fast Jolteon, was Old Zhang's strongest Pokémon.
Electric-type Pokémon are strong against Flying-type Pokémon, but Dragon-type Pokémon have resistance to Electric-type damage, so Jolteon's type advantage didn't directly counter Dragonite.
[Jolteon]
Gender: Female
Strength: Elite Four Tier One
Talent Potential: Elite Four
Type: Electric
Ability: Volt Absorb
Moves: Thunderbolt, Tackle, Double Kick, Thunder Fang, Thunder…
"Elite Four Tier One, there's a possibility of winning."
Jiang Chen finished reading Jolteon's stats. Of course, it was just a tiny possibility. Whether he could win in the end remained unknown.
The gap between Elite Four and Pseudo-Elite Four is terrifying. Even though Jiang Chen's Dragonite was close to Elite Four-level, it was still at a disadvantage in the battle.
"Dragonite, use Hyper Beam."
Using a powerful move right from the start to test the waters. Only a Dragon-type Pseudo-Legendary with monstrous stamina could be so extravagant.
"So fast."
A yellow flash of electricity streaked by, and the Hyper Beam missed its target.
Immediately after, Thunder Fang, instantly bit Dragonite, who let out a painful cry.
"Dragonite, hug Jolteon, then use Body Slam."
Dragonite endured the pain, hugged the spiky Jolteon, and then used the Body Slam move.
Dragonite's weight was considerable, so the power of its Body Slam was significant. The entire field shook.
"Jolteon, flip Dragonite over and break free!"
Old Zhang shouted, looking at Jolteon, who was still pinned under Dragonite.
Jolteon tried to flip Dragonite over, but it underestimated Dragonite's strength and was held tightly, unable to break free.
"Fly up, then throw Jolteon away."
Jiang Chen commanded.
Dragonite flapped its wings and flew up, circling at top speed in the air, then directly flung Jolteon away.
Boom!!!
Jolteon slammed heavily onto the ground, leaving a large crater.
"Quickly use Protect."
"Jolteon, use Thunder."
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, directly hitting Dragonite. Electric-type moves are fast, making them extremely difficult to avoid.
Protect can temporarily grant immunity to status conditions, preventing paralysis from the attack.
Taking a direct hit from Thunder, Dragonite was struck down from the sky.
"Jolteon, use Thunderbolt."
"Dragonite, quickly use Protect."
After Protect completely blocked Jolteon's damage, Dragonite flew up again, performed a mid-air maneuver, and used Dragon Rush.
"So resilient, worthy of being a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon."
Old Zhang exclaimed with emotion.
Jolteon was very fast, but it was difficult to evade Dragonite's Dragon Rush. When Dragonite swooped down, the immense wind pressure already made it difficult for Jolteon to move.
There was a strength gap between Dragonite and Jolteon, but it wasn't to the point of being completely overwhelmed.
"If you can't avoid it, then let's go head-to-head. Use Take Down."
The two Pokémon collided head-on. With the force of the aerial charge, even though Dragonite was slightly weaker, it ultimately knocked Jolteon back.
Jolteon spun in the air, and as it was knocked back, it also unleashed a Thunderbolt that struck the unprepared Dragonite.
Dragonite was sent flying.
"Dragonite, are you alright?" Jiang Chen looked at Dragonite.
"Groan~!"
Dragonite stood up again, covered in scratches but full of fighting spirit.
"Since you still want to fight, then continue. Giga Impact."
"Jolteon, use Thunderbolt at maximum power."
Giga Impact against a full-power Thunderbolt.
Dragonite, enveloped in an aura of airflow, charged forward like a missile. Jolteon's Thunderbolt was also incredibly powerful.
The continuous Thunderbolt attack struck Dragonite, but Dragonite endured it.
"Boom~!!!"
Giga Impact struck Jolteon, sending it flying into an alloy barrier a dozen meters away, its body directly denting the material.
"Thud!"
Dragonite, having used Giga Impact at full power, also collapsed to the ground, unable to get up and losing its ability to battle. Jolteon struggled for a moment, then also couldn't stand up, losing its ability to battle.
This battle ended in a Pyrrhic Victory for both sides.
"You tried very hard, Dragonite."
Jiang Chen ran over and hugged Dragonite. Dragonite offered Jiang Chen a smile, then fainted.
[Ding, you have completed the challenge Elite Four-level Pokémon quest. Quest rewards: Master Ball x1, Points +30,000!]
"Old Zhang, I'm taking Dragonite for treatment."
Dragonite's injuries this time were not light. Fortunately, Pokémon have incredible recovery abilities, coupled with advanced medical technology, especially the technology for treating Pokémon obtained from ruins. So, such injuries weren't a big problem.
There were far more severe injuries than this in battles.
"It's hard to imagine his future achievements."
Old Zhang put his Jolteon back into its Poké Ball. He hadn't expected the battle to end in a draw. To have such strength now, he couldn't guess his future achievements, but it was probably not impossible for him to become a Champion.
