Chapter 41 The Skarmory's Spike Tactics
Zhejiang City, Mirror City.
Battle Tower.
This tower has nine floors and is a landmark building in Mirror City.
This is also the venue for this city-level school competition!
This time, the audience will be even larger than last time.
The competition was held at the top of the tower.
The battle towers soar into the clouds!
The spectators watched the game from airships.
The enormous airship, painted in blue and white to resemble the Whale Roaring King, is truly spectacular!
"Only 6 colleges participated in this quarterfinals! Hongyu College was lucky and got a bye, advancing to the semifinals!"
"As usual, the league has sent 10 observers and 3 gym leaders to oversee the competition!"
"Of course, we can't forget the Fire King, Old Master Hongzhong!"
The order of the competition has been completely changed, and the first match is now the turn of Rock Academy.
Before the match, Chu Feng mysteriously handed Ye Kai a prop.
It is precisely the "Specialty Capsule".
This item can alter the characteristics of a spirit, and it is quite valuable.
Ye Kai understood immediately.
It seems his opponent has already locked down Yamazaki!
This time, we're going to completely defeat that giant Nerubian, not with a Crobat.
Instead, they used gas bombs!
"Without further ado, let's begin the quarterfinals. The first match will be between Red Stone Academy and Rock Stone Academy!"
"Qi Feng VS Zhao Qian!"
People rely on clothes, and Buddhas rely on gold plating.
Zhao Qian also dressed in a flashy style this time.
His opponent, Qi Feng, is an absolute beauty.
"Go! Gem Starfish!"
"Haa!"
A purple, ten-pointed starfish spun nimbly on the ground, with a large ruby on its chest.
Ye Kai could see it clearly from the preparation area, while Chu Feng frowned slightly.
This is not good.
Zhao Qian might lose this first match!
"Fossil pterosaur, ultrasonic!"
"Starfish, shoot it down with 100,000 volts!"
After receiving the command, the gem starfish began to spin at high speed.
Electric arcs began to condense at the tip, and the power of thunder shot straight at the fossil pterosaur in the air!
"I never expected Starmie to use a move like Thunderbolt!?"
"This gem starfish actually knows this kind of move!"
The audience was shocked.
The guests in the audience were relatively calm; they were well-informed and experienced.
This is nothing to be alarmed about.
Some water-type spirits have electrical discharge and energy storage organs.
A typical example is Laplace.
While the fossil pterosaur was fast, the gem starfish was no slouch either!
Both were hit by the other's moves!
Ultrasonic waves threw the gem starfish into chaos!
The fossil pterosaur was severely damaged!
"Use the Stealth Rock!"
"Come back, starfish!"
The opponent was quite cautious and immediately chose to replace their Pokémon!
Chaos has a chance to attack itself, so fighting with this negative status is quite bad!
"Go, Skarmory!"
It soared high into the air, its entire body made of silver-white steel.
The red wing feathers looked like rows of neat steel knives.
Upon its appearance, the invisible rocks scattered around the Skarmory attacked it directly.
No matter how you dodge, it's useless.
This move is guaranteed to hit as long as you switch your Pokémon!
"Heh, trying to compete with me on this? You're still too green!"
"Armored Bird, Spread Water Chestnuts!"
As soon as Ye Kai saw the armored bird, he knew what this woman was up to.
Every single one of them from Red Stone Academy is a cunning old fox!
This is the dreaded nail tactic!
Use moves like Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Stealth Rock first. Once the opponent switches Pokémon, they will take damage!
This move needs to be combined with blows, roars, and other moves that force the opponent to switch!
Skarmory is a heavyweight among them!
Of course, Zhao Qian wasn't one to be trifled with; he must have a way to deal with it.
"Roar!"
"Ugh!!!"
Before his opponent could use the Blow Away skill, Zhao Qian struck first, making the Aerodactyl use Roar!
The archea scattered a handful of nails, but did nothing more.
It was directly switched to a gem starfish!
"Tch! Starfish, spin at high speed!"
"earthquake!"
Although the gem starfish is not slow, the surrounding invisible rocks slammed into it again, weakening its stamina considerably.
The fossil pterosaur's super-speed also played a role, unleashing a powerful earthquake that blasted it away!
"Boom!!"
The entire site was shattered into pieces by the swooping fossil pterosaur.
The gem starfish suffered considerable damage.
However, the high-speed rotation still shattered the invisible rocks around it.
The rapidly spinning gem starfish killed two birds with one stone, also attacking the fossil pterosaur in the air.
It was shot down.
"Use surfing!"
While you are sick, I will kill you!
The gem starfish turned the tide, creating a giant wave 5 meters high!
"Whoosh!! Boom!"
This massive wave crashed down, making the fossil pterosaur see stars!
Zhuang Su, the owner of the Water System Pavilion, witnessed this scene.
"So impressive! Her understanding of starfish is almost as good as mine!"
To receive such high praise from this person speaks volumes about the excellence of Qi Feng and Gem Starfish!
This drew the attention of the other judges around him.
Hong Zhong remained silent; he knew little about water-based systems, and each had his own area of expertise.
The audience on the airship witnessed a sudden reversal!
Seeing the fossil pterosaur unleash a powerful earthquake, it seemed the starfish would be the one to lose.
Surprisingly, it held up.
Using high-speed spins and surfing, you can defeat your opponent with a backhand!
The game on the field continues.
"Mantis!"
"Starfish, use 100,000 volts!"
"Bullet Fist!"
In the blink of an eye, it was incredibly fast!
Starmie is already quite fast, and Zhao Qian was replacing a Pokémon in the lineup.
I didn't expect Scizor to be so fast!
This bullet-shaped punch was launched after the opponent's attack, with silvery-white steel-attribute power coiling around its pincers.
With a single blow, it shattered all the gems in the starfish!
It swiftly claimed the head, as fast as a red lightning bolt!
However, when Scizor appeared, it also suffered damage from Spikes.
"Armored Bird! Sand Spray!"
Qifeng dispatched its only armored bird.
The moment the high-speed movement occurred, Ye Kai's heart sank.
It's not that he looks down on Zhao Qian.
It's just that the opponent's tactics were too sophisticated!
"Bullet Fist!"
The armored bird began to spray sand, the fine gravel blowing towards the mantis.
It took the bullet punch head-on and was unharmed.
Both being Steel-type Pokémon, Skarmory has ridiculously high physical defense.
As long as there's no elemental advantage, you can fight however you want!
"We'll keep using sand-spraying!"
Zhao Qian finally felt the situation was getting difficult. He used all his moves except for the Bullet Fist, but none of them were very powerful.
His scythe-like characteristics make him a master of technique.
It can unleash the full power of the Bullet Punch!
Unfortunately, we ran into a brick wall today.
After taking four consecutive Sand Splatter attacks, Scyther's fifth attack missed.
"Use Feather Perch!"
The armored bird simply landed and began to recover health.
The entire tactic has been completely exposed.
It's like telling you with your cards upfront that you're doomed to lose!
After recovering its health, the Skarmory continued to use Sand Splatter...
Two minutes later, Scizor could barely hit Skarmory, and it could even heal itself.
After taking several hits from the Steel Wing, it saw stars!
"Scizor is unable to battle; the winner is Skarmory!!"
"Let's congratulate Qi Feng of Red Stone Academy on winning the first battle!"
The surrounding audience began to cheer; it truly lived up to its reputation as a quarterfinal match.
The level of excitement is completely different from before.
The pressure then fell on Ye Kai.
He has to win.
Even Fang Miaomiao in the third match must win!
He is facing unprecedented pressure right now!
