Chapter 68 Bitter Battle Against Xia Xuanfeng (1)
The elevator doors slowly opened.
Following Ye Kai's footsteps.
The lights shone down from near to far...
A huge battlefield came into view.
"Next up is the Dojo Challenge, featuring Ye Kai, an apprentice trainer from Liancheng, against Dojo Master Xia Xuanfeng!"
"Since challengers only have 1 badges, gym leaders will only send out 4 Pokémon."
"The match will continue until all of the other side's Pokémon are defeated!"
As the referee announced the start of the match, Ye Kai couldn't help but frown.
"Let me see the quality of your little badge, and whether Honglian is holding back."
Xia Xuanfeng had always had some doubts about Ye Kai's abilities.
After all, there have been too many people praising Ye Kai over the past month or so!
Not only the dojo masters, but even some of the top players gave positive reviews.
Isn't that a bit of an overstatement?
"Go, Skarmory!"
"Cross-bat!"
"Armored Bird, Spread Water Chestnuts!"
Ye Kai became wary; this was clearly a pincer movement tactic!
The move Spikes has been around since the second generation of Pokémon games.
One use of the Water Carpet: Damage = 1/8 of maximum HP.
Scattering Diamonds twice: Damage = 1/6 of maximum HP.
Throw water caltrops three times: Damage = 1/4 of maximum HP.
In singles matches, this applies as long as the opponent doesn't have a way to remove the "nails".
It's like you've hit all of the opponent's Pokémon beforehand!
This shows just how disgusting it was!
"Hot air!"
You have a brilliant plan!
I have a way to overcome obstacles!
He didn't make any unnecessary movements; he went straight for a powerful fire-type move!
When the red wind swept through, the entire venue felt like it was inside a microwave oven.
The raging winds never stopped.
The Crobat struck first, severely injuring the Skarmory!
Then the armored bird flapped its wings and threw out countless spikes.
These are all traps formed by the aggregation of terrestrial energy.
Even in this situation, Xia Xuanfeng remained calm and composed.
What exactly is his plan...?
Ye Kai didn't miss any detail on the field, and he saw the dojo master smile.
The opponent's Pokémon started eating berries.
The armored bird, which was on the verge of collapse, became full of energy in just a few seconds!
It's a "half-blood fruit"!
The opponent's slick tactics aren't over yet!
"Keep spreading the water chestnuts!"
"Hot air!"
The armored bird was already prepared to die.
Even if it falls, it will still use its second attack.
A fiery red storm swept across the entire venue; it did it.
The entire field was covered with spikes.
"Go, Steelix!"
There was no time to mourn for Skarmory; the next one to arrive on the battlefield was Steelix!
This giant steel snake is extremely large, measuring a full 12 meters in length!
The majestic snake head resembles a heavy, blunt sword!
It stared intently at the cross-bat in front of it.
"Trick! Hot air!"
"Use the Stealth Rock!"
Crobat takes advantage of the opponent's switch Pokémon to boost its Special Attack.
At this point, the power of the hot air is far greater than before.
The red-hot heatwave reached over a thousand degrees.
It's like peeling the flesh and bones apart inch by inch and roasting it until it's charred!
The giant steel snake coiled its 12-meter-long steel body, sending rubble flying from the ground.
With a single whip strike, the ground was blasted a meter deep!
Countless stones blasted directly at the Crossbat!
How can this Steelix be so fast?!
This unexpected attack caught Ye Kai off guard!
They actually used tactical orders to deceive us!
They call it an invisible rock, but it's actually a rockfall!
This rockfall was equally terrifying; both sides were hit by the opponent's attack!
They were beaten to the point of near death!
As expected, in real-world scenarios, the logic of the game can only be used as a reference.
That's the logic that binds the vast majority of ordinary elves.
But in this world.
There are quite a few elves that defy common sense!
good good!
"King Nido!"
"Niga!!!"
Looks like we need to be careful.
Battles are ever-changing; one wrong step can lead to a series of mistakes!
As soon as Nidoking appeared, spikes shot at him from all directions.
It suffered considerable damage.
"Go, Steelix!"
"..."
This is the second one already! Is this Steelix some kind of common cabbage?!
Sweet again?!
Still trying to scam him?
Ye Kai had heard Chu Feng explain this tactical deception before.
It's the same as the story of the boy who cried wolf.
Take the example of Steelix using "Stealth Rock".
The first time I used it, it was a rockfall; the second time I used it, it was still a rockfall!
Just when you really thought it was another Rock Slide, they actually used a stealth Rock Slide for the third time!
To deceive without deceiving is the highest level of deception!
You absolutely cannot fall into your opponent's rhythm, or you'll be doomed!
Xia Xuanfeng was already looking at Ye Kai with a mocking expression.
He had a "go ahead and hit me" expression on his face.
He had been defeated by Chu Feng before, so it would be very satisfying to be able to humiliate the disciple of his former rival!
"Use an earthquake!"
"Big characters burst into flames!"
This is a pure clash of high-powered moves.
Ye Kai decided to fight with all his might!
Since these tricks aren't working, let's go all out!
Anyway, his Pokémon is faster than his opponent's...
Something incredible happened.
The opponent's Steelix was only slightly slower than Nidoking!
"Use the 'Big Explosion' attack on the entire field, then use the force of your tail to jump up!"
Xia Xuanfeng was taken aback.
"Kid, with your current abilities, Nidoking, you can't react to such a fancy command...!!"
Unexpectedly, Nidoking actually started to act as Ye Kai had instructed.
It only paused for a very short time.
Its thick tail slammed violently into the ground.
Using the immense power and recoil of the Great Flame Burst, he unleashed this move directly onto the entire arena.
Then Steelix unleashed its Earthquake ability!
"Boom!!"
The power of this earthquake was quite terrifying; he estimated that if he were hit by it head-on...
Nidoking definitely can't withstand it!
"Aru!!!"
By jumping high into the air, Nidoking dodged the earthquake, while Steelix took full damage from Flamethrower!
Of course, this was only a brief moment; Nidoking was still injured by the earthquake when he landed.
But it's better than eating it all!
Nidoking was severely injured, but by then the field had been reduced to scorched earth.
The giant snake was roasted until its entire body glowed and heated up to over a thousand degrees!
It has been beaten to the point of near death.
"Impressive! That's a very interesting trick."
After fighting to this extent, even Xia Xuanfeng had to admit that Ye Kai was something special.
Little did he know that these maneuvers were simply techniques Ye Kai had seen in anime during his previous life.
He was simply applying what he learned in a practical way.
But Ye Kai was already feeling overwhelmed.
This Steel-type Gym Leader is already so overpowered!
If all the gym leaders he challenges later are this strong, wouldn't he be spitting blood?
"Go, Metal Monster!"
"Nidoking is back, Flame Queen Lizard!"
Both sides replaced their Pokémon.
The Metal Monster is already resembling Metagross, except it's missing a pair of legs.
As soon as the Flame Queen Lizard appeared, the surrounding rock spikes came hurtling towards it.
This directly depleted a significant amount of the Flame Queen Lizard's stamina.
"Recite it with your mind!"
"Highly poisonous, then protect!"
Xia Xuanfeng smiled.
"Kid, you don't think I'm unaware of the Flame Queen Lizard's corrosive properties, do you?"
Powerful purple ripples emanated from the metal monster's eyes.
However, the Flame Queen Lizard was faster, and its face was already covered in thick, black venom.
The venom boiled violently, hissing as it drilled into the metal monster's steel body!
