Chapter 108 Defeating the Rock-type Gym Leader (1)
Before us lay a vast, rocky area.
The buzzing sound of the fluorescent light tubes was a bit noisy.
Suddenly, all the lights turned on in an instant.
The dojo master had been waiting here for a long time.
Ye Kai stepped forward and went to the challenger's position.
"Next up is the Dojo Challenge, featuring Liancheng's apprentice trainer Ye Kai against Dojo Master Lü Songren!"
"Since challengers only have 4 badges, gym leaders will only send out 4 Pokémon."
"The match will continue until all of the other side's Pokémon are defeated!"
After the referee read out the rules, the match began.
"Ye Kai, I've watched your matches, they're very interesting."
"..."
He didn't reply.
"Go, Arcanine!"
This is a subspecies of Gyrocopter.
Its fur is iron gray, and its tail is held high, like a stone-carved auspicious cloud.
"Growlithe (subspecies) attacks its prey with its teeth wrapped in fiercely burning flames."
"Although it is very large, it can use skillful feints to fool its opponents, and its movements are like a dance."
The combination of Rock and Fire types is quite interesting.
"Flame Queen Lizard!"
As soon as Salazzle appeared, it was affected by Arcanine's Intimidate ability.
"Awoo!!"
The physical attack of the Flame Queen Lizard has been reduced.
Ye Kai remained unfazed. The Flame Queen Lizard doesn't rely on physical attacks, or even special attacks!
"Highly poisonous!"
"Rockfall!"
From the very beginning, it was an intense back-and-forth battle.
The Safi'jiiva spat out a pool of black venomous water, aiming at Arcanine.
Arcanine smashed a hill in the rocky terrain with its paw, sending a barrage of debris flying towards Safi'jiiva.
The venom was mostly blocked by the broken rocks, but some still got on it.
The Arcanine was immediately poisoned.
The Flame Queen Lizard was severely injured by the Rock Collapse attack, leaving it with almost no health.
What incredible power!
However, the opponent is already poisoned; all that's left is to slowly...
"A mere potent poison won't do anything to it, we'll just have to tough it out!"
"Protect!"
When under negative conditions, the power of "enduring" is doubled. If this move hits, the Flame Queen Lizard is finished.
"Keep pushing through!"
"..."
This time, Ye Kai did not issue any orders.
With the protection of the immobilization spell, the Flame Queen Lizard was already able to deal with this situation.
The anthropomorphic grin of the Gyrogoro.
It didn't use any force to prop it up; it directly smashed through a small hill and unleashed a rockfall!
What a clever tactical command deception!
The Flame Queen Lizard's immobilization tactic failed.
He was blasted away by the falling rocks and brought to the brink of death.
But this means that Arcanine will also be...
It's eating the detoxifying tree fruit it carries!
No wonder they were so fearless even when their opponent was poisoned.
"I told you, it's just a mere deadly poison..."
"Crossbat, with highly venomous fangs!"
Ye Kai immediately replaced the Flame Queen Lizard with the Crossbat.
"Don't even think about it, use Divine Speed!"
As expected of their incredible speed, the two sprites began to compete in a speed contest.
Two afterimages, one pink and one grayish-orange, intertwined.
"boom!!"
In the end, the Crobat was defeated and severely injured, flying backward.
But Arcanine wasn't faring well either; it had just recovered from the poison, only to be poisoned again.
"Keep using Swiftness!"
"Protect!"
The course of the game can change in an instant.
Zhao Qian and his companion were overwhelmed by the sights.
I thought Ye Kai would be put on the defensive because of losing a Saurami, but I didn't expect Arcanine to fall down soon too.
Despite its incredible speed, it could not break through the invisible protective barrier.
He was about to be poisoned.
"Come back, Arcanine!"
"Chase after them!"
Ye Kai sneered inwardly, "You Growlithe are doomed!"
He said that even if Arceus came, he couldn't be kept!
Lu Songren could only smile helplessly.
If you don't switch your Pokémon, you'll be poisoned to death.
The Pokémon was defeated after being switched.
Finally, Arcanine desperately dodged Crobat's attacks, and the two afterimages entangled in the air.
This is a waste of time.
It was knocked away by the crossbow and embedded itself firmly in a crater in the ground.
"Come back, you've done your best."
"Go forth, Saltstone Giant!"
Saltstone Giant?
A giant of salt and stone?!
Good guy!
Ye Kai became wary, after all, he had seen this kind of born elf in his previous life.
You can say that the Rock type isn't very good, but you absolutely can't say that this thing is bad.
Their signature move, salt curing, is absolutely disgusting!
It can deduct one-eighth of your health each round.
If this were the real world, it would probably mean continuous health loss!
It also has an amazing property called "Cleansing Salt", which prevents it from falling into abnormal states!
Among all the various types of spirits, it is also a heavyweight contender.
"Come back, Crossbat."
Faced with such an enemy, neither poison nor will-o'-the-wisp will work, and even hypnotic gas cannot put it to sleep.
The only way is to upgrade it to the extreme and then deliver a fatal blow!
"Dumbshell Beast!"
Ye Kai decisively dispatched the Dumbshell Beast.
"Ya-dong!!"
"Use the belly drum!"
The Dumbshell Beast swung its shell and pounded its own belly, instantly losing more than half of its strength.
"Cured with salt!"
Sure enough, the Salt Stone Giant was quite abstract, with its head resembling a pyramid made of white salt.
It is 2.8 meters tall.
It punched the Slowpoke.
In a clash between two slow-moving Pokémon, neither can avoid the other.
The Dumb Beast was hit by this punch, with the force of a scraping massage.
The true terror of this move has only just begun to be revealed.
It was completely dehydrated, and water kept seeping out of the surface of the Dumb Beast's body.
My physical strength is declining.
"Use laziness to regain your strength!"
"Block your way!"
The Slowpoke lay there, lost in thought, and with the help of the black sludge, its stamina quickly returned to full.
Because it can restore health, it can at least somewhat offset the continuous damage from Rock Salt.
The Saltstone Giant slammed its fist into the ground, and an invisible Normal-type energy wrapped around Slowbro's feet.
It can't escape.
"Harden!"
"Arm-shell weapon!"
Both sides issued instructions simultaneously.
Slowpoke triggered its Quick Attack ability, quickly striking and cracking a fissure in the white body of the Rock Giant.
As expected of a strike with physical attack attributes maxed out!
However, the opponent's defense was also quite strong, and they managed to withstand it.
"lap!"
"Continue with the arm-shell weapon!"
The two engaged in close-quarters combat.
A slam attack is a move that uses one's own physical defense as a physical attack.
The Saltstone Giant has a base physical defense of 130 and has been hardened to enhance its defense.
The Slowbro has further enhanced its physical attack to the extreme!
However, salting constantly depletes its energy reserves.
Regardless, at least for now, they seem to be evenly matched.
If this fight continues, it will only result in mutual destruction.
"Use self-regeneration!"
"Retract into its shell!"
It looks like this is going to be a protracted battle.
Both sides continued to escalate their efforts.
Sometimes the opponent uses Regeneration, and sometimes Slowpoke uses Lazy.
The Slowbro has been strengthened.
Because of his speed, Ye Kai still has the advantage.
"Keep attacking!"
"Immobilization spell!"
Lu Songren already felt a bit of pressure.
I didn't expect Ye Kai to be so difficult to deal with.
The Slowbro simply maxed out its physical attack and wasn't afraid.
But if physical defense is also maxed out, then it'll be difficult.
Moreover, the attack move has been sealed.
Both sides are currently low on health; this is the only chance to break the deadlock!
If you switch Pokémon, it will only allow Slowbro to accumulate an advantage, and then the team will be swept!
"Self-destruct!"
"Arm-shell weapon!"
