Chapter 370: Feraligatr vs....
White mist, vast expanses of white mist.
In the eyes of researchers, Pokémon moves had always been a matter of idealism.
Therefore, no matter how peculiar things appeared, they wouldn't be overly surprised.
Everything in nature,
Water, fire, rock, earth, lightning...
The energy within them could be created out of thin air, yet it still conformed to the law of conservation of energy.
Just like the current Hydro Pump; the impact force of this water stream was no less than that of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
The water stream and Dragon Breath collided. The instant they made contact, a vast cloud of white mist billowed up, spreading like a plague, covering the entire field.
Under such an impact, everyone in the audience nervously watched the scene within.
Although it was resisted,
Hydro Pump was, after all, a powerful Water-type move. If this attack landed, Salamence would definitely not be well off.
"Roar!"
But before the white mist could dissipate, the mist within the entire field began to churn, as if an invisible giant hand was stirring it from within.
The next second.
A blood-red shadow burst out from the white mist.
This Salamence was like a maniac. It clearly knew Fire-type moves were resisted, yet it still used Flamethrower in conjunction with Dragon Breath.
And the move it used this time was even more outrageous.
It actually used the Normal-type move, Double-Edge!
[Double-Edge]: Desperately ramming the opponent, one will also receive considerable damage.
As everyone knows, forces are mutual.
Therefore, for moves like Tackle, the opponent receives damage,
And oneself also receives an equal force.
Among Normal-type and Fighting-type Pokémon, most have their own unique force-dissipating techniques,
To minimize the impact of such forces.
For example, Fighting-type Pokémon choose to strengthen themselves, using their harder fists or elbows to strike the opponent.
"Double-Edge! After being hit by Hydro Pump, Salamence actually used Double-Edge!"
The other male commentator above shouted loudly.
"Facing such a sudden attack, the slower Blastoise has no chance to dodge! It can only... it retracted into its shell!"
Chen Chen calmly ordered, "Retract into your shell, spin!"
She and Blastoise had experienced countless battles together.
In almost an instant, Blastoise understood its trainer's intention.
"No, it not only retracted into its shell but also started spinning! There's even water glistening on it. Is it trying to coat its shell with water to deflect the rapidly charging Salamence by..."
Bang!
The commentator's voice hadn't even faded.
A huge roar resounded throughout the entire battlefield.
The instant the two collided, the field, protected by psychic power, was instantly shattered.
A deep pit, seven or eight meters in diameter, was instantly torn open in the ground.
Earth and stones flew; the damaged psychic barrier quickly repaired itself.
And after the collision, Salamence's entire body, like a spinning top struck by a whip, hurtled even faster towards the energy shield.
Thud...
The successive heavy impacts made it dizzy, and the point of impact for Double-Edge against the shell was precisely its head.
The momentary daze left Salamence unable to stand.
Over there, the dust settled.
In the center of the impact zone, there was a gently sloping pit, three or four meters deep.
The Blastoise inside, having spun at high speed and then taken that heavy blow, also couldn't get up for a while.
"Get up!"
"Hang in there, Blastoise!"
Both trainers issued commands at the same time.
Under the gaze of millions of pairs of eyes, the two Pokémon finally shook their heads and stood up, their eyes firmly fixed on each other.
At this moment, this scene.
Neither trainer dared to issue commands rashly.
Not just them; even the contestants in the audience could see that both Pokémon were basically at their limit. Perhaps a single command would be the last straw that broke the Pokémon.
And so,
The entire venue was like a library; apart from the heavy panting of the two Pokémon, almost no other sound could be heard.
The next moment, Salamence, due to the continuous heavy blows, finally faltered and fell.
It had lost the ability to battle!
The entire audience was stunned for a moment, then erupted in a tide of cheers.
"Yes!"
"We won! Sister Chen, you're amazing!"
"Sister Chen, do you need a pendant? I think I can be one! I'm very obedient!"
"Sister is so cool! If it were me, seeing that Salamence, I probably would have lost half my nerve. I didn't expect Sister to be so calm!"
"Wooo wooo wooo, we finally won one!"
...
"Not bad!"
And the contestants in their seating area, watching this scene, were also greatly uplifted.
They finally won a match!
It wasn't easy.
And the opponent's Pokémon was a peak Master-level pseudo-legendary!
But some people's gazes remained worried.
The trainers who could stand here were undoubtedly farsighted.
It took a great deal of effort just to defeat the opponent's first Pokémon.
Judging by the trend of previous matches, almost every one of the opponent's Pokémon was at peak Master level.
And now, Blastoise was a spent force.
The situation was still far from optimistic.
While everyone was cheering.
Some sharp-eyed people noticed that the victorious Blastoise hadn't moved at all.
"What's going on? Why isn't Blastoise moving?"
"Holy crap, it seems to be true. After standing up, it hasn't moved at all."
"Could something have happened?"
This situation also prompted the female commentator to go down and check.
Finally, the judgment was given,
"Blastoise has lost the ability to battle! Contestant Chen Chen, please send out your second Pokémon!"
It turned out,
After hearing that Salamence had lost the ability to battle, Blastoise, which had been desperately holding on without fainting, had also fallen unconscious.
It was just its previous, overly tenacious willpower that had kept its hind legs firmly planted on the ground.
"You worked hard..."
Seeing this, Chen Chen recalled Blastoise, stroking the surface of the Poké Ball with some heartache.
...
On the field, Watanabe Sanetake, having recalled Salamence, cursed under his breath, a second Poké Ball appearing in his hand, "Baka yarou..."
He had no solution for Salamence, which, despite being on the battlefield, had just fought chaotically.
Dragon-type was super effective against Water-type, yet Salamence had only used Dragon Breath once...
If it had used Dragon Rush at the end, the result wouldn't have been like this.
Red light flashed.
As expected, the Pokémon that appeared this time was still a peak Master-level Pokémon.
"Gatr!"
The Pokémon that came out had red scales on its head, its arms bent, its gaze still ferocious.
Feraligatr.
Seeing this, the audience, which had just been cheering, immediately frowned.
Everyone knew Chen Chen's second strongest Pokémon.
A Fire-type Arcanine.
Water-type is super effective against Fire-type.
And its strength was also less than Feraligatr's.
This Feraligatr's eyes were relatively clear, unlike the previous Salamence's madness.
As for her third strongest Pokémon.
No one knew yet.
But as a seeded contestant from North China University, her strength presumably wouldn't be weak.
And Chen Chen below, after pondering for a long time, finally sent out...
