Chapter 277 Battle against the Ground-type Gym Leader (2)
Yan Hu said nothing and silently put away the ivory pig.
Photosynthesis!
Ye Kai took the opportunity to let Venusaur recover its strength.
Under the combined effects of rooting, black sludge, and photosynthesis.
Its strength quickly returned to a safe level.
"Go, Scorpion King!"
Scorpion King?
He couldn't help but laugh.
But considering that Venusaur has already taken root and won't be able to return to its Pokémon anytime soon, oh well...
"Hold on!"
"Growth!"
grow?
Yan Hu naturally had absolute confidence in his Scorpio King.
After all, it's an extremely rare combination of ground and flight.
Who else is immune to both thunder and earthquakes?!
Given the current highly toxic environment, it couldn't be more perfect for this guy to perform.
Why didn't Ye Kai use Crazy Plants and Seed Bombs, but instead used this growth method?
Venusaur also found it slightly strange.
But it knew that its trainer would never do anything in vain; it just had to follow instructions.
The Scorpion King, under the influence of poison, remained silent and simply endured the pain.
The powerful blows caused Venusaur to groan continuously.
If it weren't for the Scorpion King being burned and paralyzed by this strange pollen...
Speed and physical attack are halved.
Its attack frequency will be higher, faster, and stronger!
"Power at full strength, keep holding on!"
"Ice Wheel!"
Yan Hu was also taken aback. What kind of move was that?!
Unheard of!
Of course he hadn't heard of it.
This is a name that Ye Kai made up himself.
Essentially, it's an ice-type version of awakened power: Awakened Ice!
However, it doesn't matter what kind of awakened power it is.
They will all gather high-density energy of that attribute around their bodies.
It spun rapidly, then scattered out in one breath.
The white light around Venusaur dissipated, indicating that its power-up was complete.
This is?!
It constantly resonates with the surrounding ice-attribute energy.
This change naturally did not escape Yan Hu's notice.
A dozen or so ice rocks the size of artificial mountains instantly formed around Venusaur's body, spinning rapidly.
This left everyone stunned.
Venusaur is a Grass/Poison type.
If it's just a variation of the previously used Crazy Plants and Seed Bomb.
That's scary enough.
Although it's outrageous, it's still within the normal range.
Even if someone is skilled at changing moves, it simply means they have excellent skill proficiency.
But now they can even use such powerful ice-type moves that defy common sense?! What the hell?!
Can Venusaur use Ice-type moves?!
"Gai Ya!!"
This attack sent the Scorpion King, who was lunging forward to defend itself, flying away.
Not finished yet.
These enormous ice stones, one by one, smashed down on the Scorpion King in sequence!
"Gah!!"
This attack frequency has already suppressed the Scorpion King's incredible health regeneration speed.
It had just been smashed half to death, but its strength was restored in an instant.
Scorpio King still wanted to resist.
The remaining ice stones came crashing down again in one go, instantly killing the seemingly invincible Poison Healing Scorpion King!
"Boom!!!"
"Bang!!"
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
I thought I could cure the Scorpion King with its indestructible poison.
That way you can turn the tables and defeat this troublesome Venusaur in one fell swoop!
It seems impossible now.
In reality, even without Venusaur, Ye Kai had plenty of ways to deal with Gliscor.
Photosynthesis!
Venusaur continues to recover health in the mid-game.
The damage caused by stubbornly enduring it is no longer showing much effect.
It became increasingly energetic.
That damn Venusaur is already taking root.
Otherwise, they could have replaced it with a roar, but now even roaring doesn't work.
This is going to be a push for the team!
Yan Hu was speechless; he hadn't encountered this situation in three years...
To be able to achieve this level.
Not only do you need great strength, but luck is also very important.
He started by sending out the second Swamp Monster.
They suffered defeat after defeat, and were completely exhausted.
"King Nido!"
"Dragon Tail!"
"..."
Venusaur continues to demonstrate its super plant power.
The enhanced power of the Mad Plants made them even more terrifying, and the stakes riddled Nidoking with wounds.
But it still sprinted with all its might to reach Venusaur.
A dragon tail lashed out and hit Venusaur on the head.
"Niga!!!"
"Bana!!"
The two Pokémon were quite close, but Nidoking had already used up all its moves.
Venusaur remained as still as a mountain.
It remained in place and did not bounce back into the ball.
"A Pokémon that is rooted cannot be driven back into its Poké Ball using a Dragon Tail."
Ye Kai's voice drifted over, yet it sounded like the whisper of a devil.
There are many little details in this world that people don't know!
Yan Hu's face grew even redder upon hearing this.
Venusaur hasn't finished using its moves yet.
Dense tree roots emerged from the ground, binding Nidoking's hands, feet, tail, and neck.
Then the burl is squeezed and deformed, continuing to burst out a large number of wooden stakes, turning it into a hedgehog.
"Roar!!!"
The screams of agony were incessant.
"Don't just shoot at the wooden stake, use rattan to hit that spot."
Venusaur grinned, its expression resembling a human.
Using the remaining energy of the Mad Plant, it unleashed thorny vines that lashed out at Nidoking's groin.
"Roar!!"
This attack from "Aruba" left Nidoking in a daze, making him feel like he was dying.
That was it, what more is there to say?
At this point, Yan Hu only had one Pokémon left to fight.
He has come to terms with it.
Reaching this level and being able to defeat Ye Kai's Venusaur is already a significant victory.
"Garuda!"
If we're not really buddies, why are we even going to stop pretending?
A level 45 Garchomp?
Never mind, the Alliance has growth-promoting drugs that force evolution.
Ye Kai can also redeem it with 700 points.
He knew this the very first day he received the professional trainer bracelet.
This is an open secret among professional trainers.
Only the trainee trainers don't know yet.
However, elves that evolve in this way need more training and nutrition to compensate for this forced growth.
Otherwise, in the later stages, the strength difference between them and other individuals of the same level and race will continue to widen.
There were even rumors that these forced-evolutionary Pokémon were incapable of breeding or hatching eggs.
"sandstorm!"
Were we discovered after all?
Ye Kai's crazy plant, with its pollen-producing tricks, is most vulnerable to sandstorms.
Soon, a rough sandstorm began to rise in the air.
It carries all the pollen and makes it sink.
Unfortunately, it was too late to discover it!
"Ice Wheel!"
Venusaur doesn't need Ye Kai's reminder; it starts at 0 frames.
Several massive ice rocks, resembling artificial mountains, hurtled rapidly toward Garchomp.
"Split it all!"
Garchomp fled in panic, managing to dodge the attacks and even shatter the ice and rocks.
But Venusaur used a completely new tactic.
A new "Awakening Ice" shot out an ice stone, which was then shattered by Venusaur's thick vine whip.
Large amounts of ice shards shot out like bullets.
Even if Garchomp is incredibly fast, it can't keep up.
The dense barrage of ice bullets left it helpless.
"Use Flamethrower now!"
Garchomp reacted instantly and used Flamethrower.
The situation instantly reversed.
Not only were the incoming ice stones melted, but they even threatened Venusaur's main body.
"Use those sludge bombs."
That kind?!
Which one?
The next moment, Yan Hu saw the clumsy Venusaur shoot out a jet of purple water the thickness of a fist from its mouth.
This water column, although its attack is slow.
But once used, it's like a sharp knife that can cut through iron like mud.
That's such a familiar tactical change...
By the time they realized what was happening, they had already slashed horizontally at Garchomp's waist!
The Flamethrower also hit Venusaur, and it was finally burned to the brink of death by this natural counter.
"Gaaah!!"
Garchomp also fell to the ground.
The fact that this sludge bomb could be used like a muddy stream was something Yan Hu learned a trick from.
The competition has now come to an end.
"...Come with me."
Yan Hu led Ye Kai to a small room to the side.
The five observers were still busy analyzing the replay of the recent match.
Only one person walked out.
First, it was announced that Ye Kai had obtained his 16th badge, and then, as usual, came the coating process for the Poké Ball.
"This is the secret mechanism of earthquakes."
Ye Kai didn't stand on ceremony and took it directly.
Yan Hu didn't stay long; instead, he went to the side to answer the phone.
"Hello. It's me..."
"what?!"
"This is outrageous! There's never been a precedent for this!"
He was originally going to leave after finishing his gym battle, but seeing this scene made him curious.
"What's wrong."
"..."
Yan Hu remained silent for a moment before revealing some secrets.
"You'll find out sooner or later, according to the latest Heavenly King's decree..."
"Starting January 1st next year, the level requirement of 60 for participating in the Grand Badge competition will be removed."
OK!
This should have been done a long time ago!
