Chapter 1187 The Precious Companion Takes Action
"Roar!"
The heavily damaged Super Salamence took off rapidly.
While Bartras certainly wanted it to use Feather Roost to recover, firstly, the provocation state was still active, and secondly, this move could not be used while flying and had to be landed.
Given Kashiwagi's ability, if he hesitated even for a moment, Gouzan's Ice Fist would have attacked at an even faster speed.
Barthus firmly believed this.
Fortunately, this situation is not without a way out.
When it realized that its opponent had taken off and was far away, the fierce-looking Gouzan Dog stuck out its tongue, clutched its chest with a slightly tired expression, and began to pant heavily.
There is no doubt that it is not in a healthy state.
With the added boost from the Flying Skin, the Sacrifice Impact skill transforms into one that counters its Flying attribute and significantly increases its power, resulting in ridiculously high damage.
Even though it had taken bodybuilding exercises to improve its physical defenses beforehand, it still couldn't help but feel severe pain in its chest and abdomen.
Gouzan Gou is very grateful that he did not slack off during his past awakening period and has been working hard to exercise.
So strong!
Wang!
It couldn't help but mutter a curse.
I originally wanted to take on the entire match for my boss, but now it seems like I'd be doing pretty well to take on both opponents.
"Can you still hold on?"
"Ouch!"
It responded loudly to the words coming from behind.
Although it can't compare to Pokémon like Galarian Corsola, Zangogg is a rare legendary Pokémon with a base level of 75, so it's not unreasonable for it to withstand a devastating attack.
Based on Kashiwagi's current experience, both divine beasts and mythical beasts have additional "stat" bonuses, just like elite monsters and boss monsters in the game.
Their power cannot be fully explained by energy level alone.
On the other hand, the Frozen Fist, which boosted the attack twice, failed to take him down, even after he had used Sacrifice.
It can only be said that Bartholomew has really become stronger, and his loss after being fully charged is not unjustified.
"I hope this isn't all you've got."
Cypress wood murmured to itself.
High in the sky, the Super Salamence, looking down at the ground, suddenly inhaled and roared angrily!
"Roar--!!"
In an instant, the visible sonic boom transformed into a milky-white shockwave like a whirlwind, shaking the air from top to bottom and crashing into the three-meter-tall dog-headed man!
But Kashiwa had already anticipated its movements and issued the order in advance.
"Change back! Dig a hole!"
"Ow!"
The dog pawed at the ground, kicking up dust as it shrank back to adult height, narrowly avoiding the howling wind that swept away the sand.
rumble--!!
The dull sound was like a typhoon passing through, sweeping across most of the venue.
Despite being severely injured, it still possesses such terrifying power. The performance of Super Salamence is truly remarkable, in no way inferior to the former Super Helios.
Kashiwa said, "Go to sleep."
When the strong winds subsided, the ground returned to calm.
Seeing that the awesome dog hadn't shown up yet, Bartlas's expression turned serious.
"Water cannons! Attack the entrance!"
"Roar!"
The Super Salamence spewed a jet of azure water downwards, hitting the burrow precisely and creating a huge cloud of white mist and dust with a loud bang.
But the dog wasn't forced out, which disappointed Bartlas and made him feel a pang of sadness.
Unlike Kashiwagi or Pokémon, his ears were not as sensitive, making it difficult for him to block out noise from the audience and hear instructions from afar.
Therefore, he only knew that the dog was doing something sneaky, but he didn't know exactly what it was.
Forced out by an earthquake?
No.
Kashiwagi was probably just waiting for him to do that!
Bartlas didn't hesitate and immediately took the ball to replace the low-health Mega Salamence.
Retract your left hand and release your right hand.
boom!
With a flash of light, Bartholomew's second Pokémon entered the arena.
"Do~~ru~~"
The psychic clay puppet emitted a bell-like tremor as it quietly appeared in mid-air, its eyes, which circled its body, observing its surroundings.
Deep underground, surrounded by damp soil, Gouzan Dog was fast asleep.
"Doruru!"
Claydol, unable to find a worthy opponent, prompted its trainer to issue an order.
Bartras frowned slightly and shouted, "Aerial meditation! Continue meditating!"
According to his speculation, the reason why Gouzan Dog stayed underground for so long might be because it was using some kind of recovery technique.
Since that's the case, they can't be left behind either.
Take advantage of the fact that the psychic earth puppet is not yet provoked and improve your abilities as soon as possible!
"Doruru!"
The Claydot's six eyes all lit up simultaneously, and orange-red flames rose, rapidly increasing its Special Attack and Special Defense.
Meanwhile, GouZan Dog wakes up from his sleep.
Its lost strength was restored during this brief sleep, and it quickly dug its way out of the soil.
The moment the ground broke, both Kashiwagi and Bartras gave the command.
"Teleport!"
"Crush it!"
"Ouch!"
The dog suddenly leaped up and pounced on the psychic clay figure that was more than 20 meters away. The latter's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
The sharp teeth, emanating black smoke, missed their mark, and the once-magnificent dog, its body swelling again, crashed to the ground with a thud. Now three meters tall, it gazed at its opponent in mid-air, revealing a vicious, wicked smile.
"Ouch——"
It suddenly let out a long howl, and launched another attack.
Bartras: "Magic Flash!"
"Doruru!"
The psychic clay puppet seized the opportunity to spin around, releasing a burst of bright pink light that shot out like countless steel needles!
The dog, having finished its amplification, raised its arms in front of it, once again taking the brunt of the opponent's attack.
As the pinkish light needle dimmed, it suddenly leaped up and opened its blood-red maw, where dark light gathered into huge energy teeth in front of it!
"Hold on!"
click!
Just hear a crisp sound.
It was the sound of the shimmering blue light shield being instantly shattered by the terrifying giant teeth.
The once indestructible light shield was now as brittle as a biscuit, completely unable to stop the pitch-black giant teeth from viciously gnawing at the psychic clay puppet's body!
Bang!
Smoke billows up!
Bartholomew's pupils trembled. "No effect?"
The Pokémon was completely new to him, so he could only guess its type upon first encounter.
Because the opponent used [Taunt] at the start of the game and then used Bodybuilding, coupled with his black and green hair, he was assumed to be a Fighter-Dark type.
The Super Salamence's outstanding Devastating Tackle, to some extent, confirms half of the fact that the Gothammer possesses Fighting attributes.
The fairy-attribute magic flash is a further test.
If the dog has the Dark attribute, this move will have an incredibly powerful effect; if it doesn't, it will at least be severely damaged due to its Fighting attribute!
Unexpectedly, the multiple amplifications of the special attack not only failed to force this guy back, but even allowed him to leap up with ease!
This situation can only prove that the opponent either has no weakness to the fairy attribute, or simply resists the fairy attribute!
What are the two combined properties it possesses?
Can the psychic clay idol hold up?
Bartras' thoughts raced for a moment, and when he saw the person he had placed such high hopes on fall to the ground covered in gunpowder, he couldn't help but sigh.
boom!
A muffled, soft sound.
The psychic clay figure became the price of Barthus's failed judgment.
"Crushing strike! That's very effective! Let's see the referee's decision!"
The commentator excitedly shouted, "--Clay Golem is unable to fight! Gouda wins!"
"Yes, viewers, this Pokémon is called Awesome!"
Wow!
The applause was thunderous!
On the big screen, the icon of the psychic clay figure on Bartholomew's side changed from color to black and white.
Victory in the first round!
"Ouch~~!"
The dog excitedly tilted its head back and howled like a wolf.
It was its first time participating in a battle that exposed itself to tens of thousands of eyes, but surprisingly it didn't feel bad.
It was even more exhilarating than the feeling of defeating the enemy in Beishang Township in the past.
The three physical attack boosts have given it immense confidence. Now, let's try to defeat other opponents in one hit!
Just as the dog was praising its majestic appearance, it was taken back by Kashiwagi with a ball.
"Ow?"
Why was I removed from the field?
The dog was completely bewildered.
Kashiwagi said through the Poké Ball, "Because you acted on your own initiative, I've told you many times that you are only allowed to do what I command."
The [Long Howl] that boosted physical attack just now was not his command; it was entirely a judgment made by Gouzangou in a moment of excitement.
He knew that this move was easier for Pokémon to get used to than bodybuilding, and they could do it naturally. However, Pokémon that acted on their own initiative were an unstable factor in battles.
Of course, there's another reason—
If we let it continue fighting, it might wipe out the team, and then the remaining Baoban and Taodailang will have no chance to fight back.
"..."
The awesome dog desperately chose to become withdrawn.
The return of the cypress wood caused shock among the commentators and the audience.
Three attack buffs and one defense buff – and a perfectly healthy Pokémon is defeated?
If it were any other trainer, they would probably be criticizing his "wasteful" behavior by now and expecting him to fail miserably.
But this is cypress wood.
Strength is one aspect, but who in the Ore region doesn't know about Kashiwagi Ai's exchange?
He's arguably the champion who loves to trade the most.
Let's return our attention to the field.
Barthalos remained relatively calm.
While he hadn't gathered enough information about Zanou, he had a good understanding of Kashiwagi's habits.
opportunity!
Let me see what your next one is!
Bartlas throws the ball.
boom!boom!
Two crisp sounds rang out. The Pokémon that appeared on his side was Gliscor, while the one that appeared on Kashiwagi's side was a short and ugly black monkey.
"Another Pokémon I've never seen before."
Bartholomew's eyes were deep and unfathomable.
His plan to target Kashiwagi's main Pokémon was completely thwarted, as Kashiwagi used his newly captured Pokémon for the Champion League.
The key point is that they are all very strong!
Bartras had reason to believe that the strength level of the Wish-Growing Ape was on par with that of the Amazing Dog from before.
The situation is starting to get tricky...
and many more!
The purple hair ornament on the ape's head stunned him.
He suddenly remembered that the dog also had a chain around its neck, and considering the weak effect of the magic flash earlier...
"Poison? Poison properties?"
Bartras is still not entirely sure and hopes to find out through the upcoming matches.
The battle begins again!
The Scorpion King spread its wings and floated into the air, with a large amount of sand appearing around its body.
"sandstorm!"
call!
A low, rumbling sound, like the roar of a dragon, continued to reverberate, and a massive sandstorm instantly took shape, shrinking around the Wish-Growing Ape and the Scorpion King!
At the same time, Yuan Zengyuan watched this scene with a half-smile, his body glowing with multiple orange lights.
【trick】.
Significantly increases own special attack.
This is the response that Masaki received after he learned of Scorpion King's future through prophecy and sent the information to Kashiwagi.
Upon seeing this, Bartlas frowned, wondering if it possessed evil properties.
do not care!
Attack with the poison attribute first!
"Quicksand Hell!" he shouted, and the Scorpion King in mid-air began to spin in a spiral!
Swish swish!
Countless grains of sand swirled around it, turning it into a giant sand ball that fell from the sky and crashed down on Yuanzeng Ape!
"—Pass the baton!"
"Squeak~"
With a sinister smile, the ape raised a finger, and a white light shone from its head, causing its entire body to turn into a red glow and fly back into the Poké Ball in Kashiwagi's hand.
puff!
Sand and soil splashed.
Scorpion King leaped back into the air, quickly creating distance and merging into the sandstorm. "Whoosh!?"
That's it?
The commentator exclaimed, "Kashiwagi has chosen to switch again!"
boom!
In the blink of an eye, new Pokémon have arrived.
"Goo~"
The pheasant flapped its wings, and the purple pendant on its chest made Barthus's gaze narrow slightly.
It really is poisonous, right?
But what about birds that can fly...? Does flight grant them poisonous properties?
In this way, ground-type moves become ineffective.
"Spiritual Fang!"
Bartholomew gave the order.
What's even more tragic than having to guess the opponent's attributes during a battle is that the opponent is also exceptionally powerful.
This significantly reduces our own margin for error.
"Lai-hoo!"
Scorpion King hides in sandstorms; its [Sand Cloak] ability makes it appear and disappear amidst the flying sand, making it difficult to spot.
The cheetah gently flapped its wings, gave a seductive smile, and clucked.
Pink mist was released, swept up by flying sand and quickly spread to every corner of the venue.
Just as Scorpio King was about to launch a sneak attack from behind, he smelled this scent and immediately felt a burning heat in his heart, causing his movements to become sluggish.
Bartras keenly sensed its unusual behavior. "Attack!"
"Hey! Hey!"
Scorpion King quickly shook its head, breaking free from the control of pheromones. Its teeth, covered in purplish-red light, lunged forward to bite, but missed.
The pheasant had already ridden away on the wind.
Unbeknownst to it, it used Tailwind, gaining mobility far exceeding that of the Scorpion King.
Bartholomew frowned. "Come back—"
As soon as he lifted his Poké Ball, the Chinchilla turned around and flapped its wings rapidly.
"Frozen Wind!"
call!
The cold front suddenly blew away the thick sand and gravel, spraying it onto the Scorpion King's body, instantly covering its surface with a layer of white frost.
"Lai-hoo!"
Scorpion King plummeted in agony, its path clashing with the red light emitted from the Poké Ball.
Kashiwagi spoke again, "A finishing blow with a lightning strike!"
"Goo!"
The shrike suddenly flapped its wings, transforming into a white light as it chased after the falling Scorpion King, crashing into its arms to inflict even greater damage upon its fall!
Bang!
The ground trembled, and billowing dust filled the air!
The pheasant retreated and quickly returned to mid-air, flying with one wing. The other wing human-like covered its beak, making a smirking gesture.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. If the eldest son, Tao Dailang, is not a good person, then his companions are naturally not much better.
Even after serving as legitimate guardians for hundreds of years, they could not wash away the evil aura emanating from them.
Of course, their trainers weren't much stronger either.
Kashiwagi's demeanor has only recently improved; in the past, he was so intimidating that he could leave people speechless.
"King Scorpion is unable to fight! Jiji wins!"
The referee called out the name of the chicken using the computer system, adding a glorious achievement to its record.
