Chapter 15 Full Recovery Medicine, Vitality Block
Under Natsuki's command, Riolu used self-motivation to boost its Attack and Special Attack by 1 level.
Immediately afterwards, Riolu gathered its strength without hesitation and leaped up, heading straight for Finch.
In terms of jumping power, Riolu's level is not as high as Growlithe's, but it is far superior to Growlithe's.
A height of several meters is easily achieved.
Facing the cowering sparrow, it unleashed a full-force rock-shattering attack.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the Pidgey had no chance to dodge and was hit head-on by Riolu, flying backward with a look of pain on its face.
This is considered an outstanding effect.
However, the Great Sparrow is at least level 40, and even if its combat ability is average, it cannot be defeated in one hit.
If Lucario were to launch this attack, it would likely be a one-hit kill.
Or, to put it another way, it should be possible to do that with a more powerful fighting-type special move.
There's no way around it; without learning moves using a TM, Riolu's Rock Smash is already the most powerful Fighting-type physical attack move at its current level.
The more powerful strike can only be learned after reaching level 36.
However, even if it's a burst of power, it probably won't be enough; it has to be a skill with a power value of 75 or even 120.
Having experienced this, Xia Mu has made a plan.
Previously, I couldn't afford to buy skills because I didn't have enough money, but now that I have money, I'm not afraid of not being able to afford them.
Woof woof!
Upon landing, Leo let out a defiant cry.
"Gah!!"
Disregarded, a fierce cry erupted from the beak of the bloodied Great-billed Sparrow.
Having been attacked and seriously injured by an unknown puppy Pokémon it looked down upon, how could it possibly accept this?
The vengeful big-billed magpie will relentlessly pursue its prey unless it is thoroughly defeated.
After a 360-degree spin in the air, the wing attack was unleashed.
Although its speed was reduced due to the terrifying face, it was still very fast.
Seeing this, Natsuki's eyes narrowed: "Riolus, use Hold On!"
Riolu was not afraid. His stubborn personality, coupled with the advantage he had over Finch, made him completely unafraid of Finch's attacks.
After raising its head and letting out a cute yet fierce cry, it crossed its arms in front of it, and a burst of crystalline white light emanated from its body. The wing attack struck its body without any doubt, and the powerful force swept Riolu away.
Riolu was seriously injured, kneeling on the ground, his face contorted in pain.
Thankfully, it held up and wasn't instantly killed.
Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't like in the game where Riolu was left with only 1 HP, this attack almost rendered Riolu unable to fight.
The way to stay strong in the real world is different from that in the game world, and Xia Mu has learned a lot about this over the past few days.
Take the "Endure" skill, for example. The game's setting is that if a Pokémon is attacked during the current turn, even if it is a one-hit kill, it will be left with 1 HP, ensuring that the Pokémon does not leave the field.
In the real world, once you use the "endure" technique, no matter how powerful the attack, as long as it doesn't exceed your own limits, you can definitely hold on and retain some of your strength.
The only difference is the restrictions.
Seeing the arrogant Finch take off again, Xia Mu seized the opportunity and shouted at the red Gyarados, "Now! Gyarados, don't waste the opportunity Riolu created! Lock onto Finch's trajectory and intercept it! Use Ice Fang to finish it off!"
The red Gyarados had been waiting for a long time.
Although Xia Mu did not give it any specific instructions, the red Gyarados was always looking for an opportunity on its own.
At this point, Gyarados had already mastered the flight path of the Finch.
Intercepted halfway, and given the size of the red Gyarados, Pidgeot was startled once again.
The freezing effect on teeth is outstanding!
Even though the red Gyarados was only level 20, it still dealt a lot of damage to the Finch.
The big-mouthed bird was in pain and was flung away again by the red Gyarados's brute force.
They haven't lost their ability to fight.
Despite being collapsed on the ground, the big-billed finches were still able to move.
Level 40 is level 40!
[If this were a game world, I would definitely collapse. The gap between the real world and the game world is too big.] Xia Mu thought to himself.
but……
"Even though you haven't fallen yet, you've reached your limit! Riolu, do another Rock Smash!" Natsuki shouted to Riolu in the distance.
He didn't intend to stop there or let the red Gyarados continue the attack. Instead, he let Riolu vent its anger and avenge Growlithe.
I was worried that we might not be able to win, but now everything is under my control.
Woof!
Although Riolu is seriously injured, it still has the ability to fight.
Just as Xia Mu had expected.
The rock shard struck, and the giant sparrow cried out in pain before finally collapsing and losing its ability to fight.
Two against one, although they managed to find an opening, it has to be said that if the big-billed finch hadn't been wild, or if its fighting ability and awareness had been stronger, it probably wouldn't have been so easy.
Xia Mu completely took advantage of the red Gyarados's strength, throwing a time bomb at the opponent right from the start.
Unable to capture the Sparrow, Xia Mu quickly purchased a full recovery potion from the system shop and sprayed it on Riolu.
There was no need to use something so nice, but Xia Mu was willing to.
In short: I'm not short of money now.
Even if it's a full recovery potion, it only costs 3000 Alliance Coins.
Riolu's injuries have healed, and because of this battle, its level has increased by 1.
The red Gyarados also gained an absurdly large 2 levels due to sharing a large amount of experience points.
I don't know how this experience is calculated.
In conclusion, fighting opponents of higher level than oneself is the fastest way to level up, which is indeed consistent with the original work.
Regaining his composure, Xia Mu took out Growlithe's Poké Ball and released the severely injured and dying Growlithe.
Xia Mu quickly purchased another Vitality Cube from the system store.
Vitality Cube: Revives a Pokémon that is near death and restores all its HP. Price: 4000 League Coins.
The process of using it is magical. When you stick the Vitality Cube close to Growlithe's body, Growlithe's entire body emits a dazzling glow.
As the Vitality Block completely transformed into vibrant light and merged into Growlithe's body, its injuries visibly healed, and Growlithe quickly regained consciousness.
Natsuki was excited, and Riolu and the red Gyarados also let out happy cries upon seeing this.
Growlithe was still a little confused, staring at him with puzzled eyes.
She stared incredulously at Natsuki, then at Riolu, then at the red Gyarados, and finally at her own body...
It remembered being utterly defeated by the big-billed sparrow, collapsing to the ground and near death...
"It's alright now. Riolu and Gyarados avenged you. Finch has been defeated." Xia Mu comforted Growlithe and made it look into the distance.
The big-billed magpie was still unconscious.
The semi-dead state is not as severe as Growlithe's. With a certain amount of time to recover, it will quickly wake up and will not threaten its life.
