Chapter 123 Zhao Qian vs. Zhuang Su
The next day, at 3 p.m.
Ye Kai and the others waited at the entrance of the dojo for more than half an hour.
Each dojo master has different habits.
This water-type gym leader likes to work intensely for 1-2 days a week, and slack off the rest of the time.
She faces at least four challengers today.
It is said that she once had a record of fighting eight challengers in a single day.
“I’m ready. Let the next challenger come in.”
The staff at the dojo received a voice message from Zhuang Su, indicating that Zhao Qian could begin the challenge.
His race is ranked 5th today.
This is also the ranking Zhao Qian achieved at the fishing competition.
Ye Kai and his companion were then invited into a secret room to the side.
Of all the gyms I've visited, this water-themed gym is definitely in the top three for its sheer magicalness.
The surrounding walls are... no, that's not right.
It's basically a huge aquarium.
There was no wall at all.
A large number of water-type Pokémon swam over, looking at Ye Kai and his companion with curiosity.
Looking down from the glass walkway, the competition had already begun.
"Cunning Tengu!"
"Go forth, Emperor Nabo!"
"The Emperor Naboo can swim at speeds comparable to a motorboat. The edges of its wings are so sharp that they can cut through ice floes."
Wang Xiaoting looked at the description in the illustrated guide.
"These are Water-type and Steel-type starter Pokémon, they should be very strong, right?"
Ye Kai did not speak.
Two words flashed through my mind: Nonsense!
Water + Steel!
An incredibly powerful combination of attributes, offering resistance to attacks from a whopping 10 different angles!!
"Emperor Naboo, the Invisible Rock!"
"Cunning Tengu! High-five surprise attack!"
In terms of speed, the cunning tengu was superior, and it slapped the steel penguin on the head right from the start.
The pressure applied during scraping.
However, the use of the stealth rock was interrupted.
"Ignore it and keep using the Invisible Rock!"
Ye Kai was right; this Emperor Naboo was indeed a nail player.
With a flap of its wings, it gathered countless rocks in the air, causing them to float.
"Use Sunny Day quickly!"
Both sides were completely fighting their own battles.
Are you scattering nails?
I'll just turn on the weather!
The cunning tengu flapped the blades of its hands, and a stream of heat slowly rose.
The entire site is now bathed in sunlight.
"yawn!"
Emperor Naboo was extremely lewd. First, he laid down an invisible rock, then exhaled a foul breath, wanting to sleep with the cunning Tengu.
They're forcing you to change your Pokémon!
"Blow it away!"
Are you forcing me to change?
I'll force you to change it!
The cunning Tengu waved his hand, creating a strong gust of wind that forced Emperor Nabo to retreat.
Zhao Qian directly disrupted Zhuang Su's rhythm.
Both sides are probing each other's cards.
"As expected of that guy's henchman, he's interesting."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qian naturally knew that the guy was referring to Ye Kai.
He ignored Zhuang Su.
The cunning celestial dog also fell into a deep sleep.
"Please, King Thorn Dragon!"
"Come on!!"
Zhuang Su's second spirit is the Thorn Dragon King.
Good guy!
They're all incredibly chubby.
Ye Kai couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
The spirit Zhao Qian is about to face is one he will likely encounter in his future challenges as well.
Facing such a lineup of Pokémon puts a lot of psychological pressure on the player.
"Dragon King, Dragon Dance!"
Okay, okay, a badge competition for players under level 45.
Using Dragon Dance?!
Well, the dojo master probably has some secret techniques, so Ye Kai can't say anything more.
The cunning tengu is still sleeping...
"Continue the dragon dance!"
The King Thorn Dragon spun around, enveloped in purplish-red dragon-type energy.
Attack power and speed began to increase rapidly!
The cunning tengu suddenly woke up.
"Very good, use the blow to send them flying!"
When facing a buff, forcing the opponent to switch out their Pokémon is also a good strategy.
"Reverse Scale!"
King Thorn Dragon is much faster.
After its enhancement, it was incredibly powerful and charged directly at the cunning tengu, leaving it with only a sliver of health!
It was the imposing aura that played a role.
Kingdra was forcibly replaced again.
"...Peacock!"
It seems that Zhao Qian has no intention of replacing his next Pokémon until he takes down this cunning tengu.
Photosynthesis!
He also wanted to take advantage of the sunny weather to fully recover his health while his opponent switched Pokémon.
As a result, the gulls directly triggered the rainfall phenomenon, changing the weather!
"A flash of lightning!"
If this hits, the cunning tengu will be finished.
At the critical moment, the cunning tengu glowed and unleashed its skill.
A destructive aura enveloped the approaching beaks.
"Boom!!!"
It just self-destructed!
"This thing can self-destruct?!"
Zhuang Su couldn't hold back any longer and directly complained.
She has been friends with the Grass-type Gym Leader for many years and has seen quite a few Pokémon.
This includes the cunning tengu.
But this is the first time I've seen a cunning tengu self-destruct.
When the smoke cleared, the site was charred black.
Both elves were on the verge of death.
"Go, competitive hairy crab!"
"King Thorn Dragon!"
The gull's sacrifice was not in vain; at least it brought out the rainy days.
Upon seeing this maneuver, Ye Kai could immediately conclude that Kingdra possessed the Swift Swim ability.
In the rain, the speed will double!
The competitive hairy crab makes its appearance.
The floating rocks around the arena began to attack it from all sides, causing it to lose some of its strength.
"Dragon Dance!"
"Ice Fist!"
Zhao Qian also has ways to deal with it.
When he saw the last time King Thorn Dragon used Dragon Dance, he wanted to use Crab Raptor.
No matter what kind of dragon you are, take this freezing punch!
Kingdra is incredibly fast; he can even strengthen himself while spinning around.
The freezing punches were all dodged.
It was clear that a single hit would have severely injured Kingdra, but it just wouldn't land.
"It's time to end this. Use Scale Shot!"
Ye Kai was no longer willing to complain about this King Thorn Dragon.
Tell me, what Dragon-type moves don't you know?
In rainy conditions, it becomes ridiculously strong.
It's meaty and fast.
"Protect!"
The competitive hairy crab was forced to switch from being an attacker to a defender.
The dragon scales that King Thorn Dragon used its dragon-type energy to shoot out were like explosive bombs, blasting against the protective barrier.
"Disrupt the rhythm, fast or slow, fast or slow!"
"..."
Zhao Qian really didn't understand what this instruction meant.
Upon receiving Zhuang Su's command, the frequency of the Thorn Dragon King's scales began to become unpredictable.
This move lasted a full 7-8 seconds.
It's just like Ye Kai's past life, the fast and slow swordsman in action games!
When the fifth Scale Shot was fired, the competitive hairy crab's protection had already failed.
It was blasted away by the attack and suffered serious injuries!
Great!
Ye Kai benefited greatly from the fact that he could use continuous attack moves in such a variety of ways.
"Come back, I've chosen you, Skarmory!"
Zhao Qian had no choice but to replace the low-health Competitive Crab with an Armored Bird.
As soon as Skarmory appeared, Stealth Rock continued to exert its power, wearing down some of its stamina.
"Continue with the scale-shooting!"
"Blow it away!"
The armored bird was unfazed by this attack; its shattered scales crackled as they struck its steel body!
It withstood the attack head-on and unleashed a powerful blow!
Even Ye Kai was a little tired watching this battle.
Zhuang Su is ruthless; how could he fight 8 people in a single day with this kind of gameplay?!
"Laplace!"
"Ugh!!"
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Su's fourth choice was to fight Laplace, who was also known as "Riding the Dragon" in his early years.
Skarmory took advantage of the opponent's switch Pokémon and immediately used Spikes.
