Chapter 33 Instant Kill, Even with Reverse Attributes, Instant Kill is Still Possible
Pfft~ Hahaha~~
Youyi burst out laughing, looking utterly arrogant.
"Are you sure you want to use a Growlithe to fight my Nidoqueen? Don't be ridiculous."
At that moment, he had no idea that Xia Mu was about to teach him a lesson he would never forget.
"Yes, so you go first. This is your only chance." Xia Mu wasn't angry; instead, she smiled even more brightly.
Seeing that his sarcasm had no effect, Yuu became furious and gave Nidoqueen the command: "You're asking for it, so don't blame me, Nidoqueen, use Stomp! Crush this puppy."
Nido let out a roar to embolden himself and charged forward, completely ignoring Growlithe.
Xia Mu realized that the Pokémon and its trainer had very similar personalities, both being overly arrogant.
When Growlithe faced Nidoran, its eyes revealed a powerful aura.
Underestimate it?
Let me show you why flowers are so red.
In fact, Nido's attack power had already decreased due to Intimidation at the start of the game.
However, Nido still felt that the puppy could not pose a threat to it, so it roared and attacked without any fear.
"Unfortunately, you missed the best opportunity. If I were you, I would have used either Earthquake or Earth Power right away. At least, regardless of the effect, it would have affected the opponent. Your heavy stomp exposed a weakness to my Growlithe," Xia Mu said calmly.
As Nidoqueen got close, Xia Mu's expression changed drastically. Growlithe was already in sync with him, and without his command, it used High Speed Movement to flash behind Nidoqueen.
"boom!!!"
A thick jet of flame struck Nido's back.
A single shot, hitting the vital point.
Nido let out a painful howl and collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.
Even though Flamethrower is a special attack, Growlithe's special attack stat is very low due to its nature, but it still has a decent base power. Plus, the 5-level difference, while not huge, is not insignificant either.
"Nidoran lost its ability to battle, Growlithe won, so this match is..." The young referee didn't know Natsuki's name and hesitated for a moment.
Seeing his gaze, Xia Mu smiled and said, "My name is Xia Mu."
The young referee nodded before continuing, "So, Xia Mu wins this match."
As the verdict was announced, everyone looked at Growlithe with disbelief, questioning Yuichi and his Nidoran.
He was so fierce just now, but now he's been defeated in one move.
One person couldn't help but burst out laughing and praised Growlithe for doing a great job.
Without a doubt, it was Xiaolan, the girl who had been defeated before.
Yuichi stood there stunned for a long time, staring at his Nidoki as if he were dreaming.
Even though I got injured and exhausted from fighting Sandslash, the opponent was just a puppy.
Growlithe has always been used as a police dog, and its combat ability is considered average, so most trainers subconsciously believe that Growlithe is easy to deal with.
"Come on, you don't only have one Nidoqueen, do you? As long as you can beat Growlithe, you can still get 10000 League Coins from me." Xia Mu used Yuichi as a precedent to let the other trainers know that he was not lying.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yi became even angrier. After taking out a Poké Ball to recall Nidoran, she took out another Poké Ball.
"Don't get cocky. You're just injured and weak after taking Nidoran's place. Let's see how arrogant you can be this time! Go, Golduck."
Golduck, at level 37, may not be as strong as Nidoqueen, at level 39, but it is still quite powerful.
Moreover, using water-based attacks to counter fire-based attacks shows Yuichi's cleverness.
When Growlithe sees its new opponent, its eyes are filled with burning fighting spirit, and it uses its Intimidate ability to suppress the opponent first.
This mode of battle is indeed a first for Growlithe.
Lucario, standing beside Natsuki, was also eager to try, wishing it could immediately take Growlithe's place and have a good fight.
Unlike fighting wild Pokémon, Pokémon battles between trainers also ignite their inner desire to win.
"Strike first, Golduck, use the water gun!" With that command, Yuichi launched the first attack once again.
The last time, Xia Mu gave him the opportunity; this time, he launched the attack.
Of course, Xia Mu didn't care.
Because the game involves turn-based combat, whoever attacks first will instantly defeat the opponent.
But the real world is different; Xia Mu prefers to strike back after the enemy has made a move.
Understand your opponent's attack patterns and then counter them.
"Not using a more advanced Water-type move is really underestimating us, Growlithe! Use Agility to get out of the way!"
Unlike high-speed movement in games.
In the game, high-speed movement increases speed by 2 levels upon successful execution.
However, in the real world, this enhancement has various limitations, unlike other enhancement skills.
The conclusion drawn from the summary is that high-speed movement can increase speed by 2 levels during the process of casting it, and continuous casting can reach the amplification level of 6 levels faster and faster.
However, after the spell ends, no matter how much the speed increase is, it will return to its original state unless it is cast again to stack the speed increase.
Most importantly, no other moves can be used in the middle, otherwise this stacking will be interrupted.
At first, Xia Mu felt that the test was a bit of a rip-off, but as he gradually got used to the rules of this world, he found it quite normal.
Recalling the early storyline of the original work, this change in the characteristics of the move is like Pikachu using Quick Attack. In the game, it is a move that can definitely attack first, but in the anime, the opponent will indeed say "Wow, that's fast," but it is no longer an absolute first strike.
Growlithe dodged Golduck's water gun attack and got faster and faster.
Even when faced with continuous water gun attacks, she moved back and forth on the fighting stage with ease.
Yuichi was clearly somewhat embarrassed and angry: "Water Pulse!"
Golduck, upon receiving the order, conjured water bombs and launched them.
Xia Mu didn't give any instructions, and just let Growlithe continue to use High Speed Shift to dodge, getting faster and faster until it finally reached the effect of amplification level 6.
Golduck's Water Pulse missed its target. Although it exploded like a bomb with considerable power, it had no effect on Growlithe.
At this moment, it was bewildered by Growlithe.
Growlithe's silhouette is like a shadow clone, making it impossible to pinpoint its exact location.
Panic.
This is exactly the effect Xia Mu wanted.
"You were always on the offensive before, now it's my turn, Growlithe, Thunder Fang!"
At a command, Growlithe suddenly attacked with such explosive force that it even shattered the ground.
"boom!!!"
"Crackling and popping!!"
A loud bang was followed by a burst of lightning.
……
PS: In future battle modes, many skills will be modified due to restrictions, otherwise they would be overpowered.
For example, high-speed movement, setting a time limit, or enhancing the effect during the casting process, with the effect disappearing after the casting ends.
Please forgive me, experts.
