Gongsun Yan was not making this up. Before Tank Skunk lost its combat capability, both sides had lost three Pokémon. So there was only one possibility, that was the battle before the halftime break, in which both sides' Pokémon died together. Otherwise, this kind of battle situation would not have occurred.
Just as Gongsun Yan was sighing, the game off the field showed no sign of stopping. After Wang Xiaoming took back the Tank Skunk, he looked at Xiaozhi with a serious expression.
"You are indeed an excellent opponent, but I'm sorry, I have a reason why I can't lose, because he is watching my game, Bearcat! Come on stage!" Wang Xiaoming shouted with passion and threw the Poké Ball in his hand.
A white light flashed, and a humanoid Pokémon that looked very tough appeared in front of everyone. It seemed that all evil-type Pokémon had a characteristic, that is, as long as you took a look at it, you could be sure that this Pokémon was evil-type. It was so outrageous, perhaps this was the case of appearance reflecting the heart.
"Mortar, Xiaozhi probably doesn't know this Pokémon, but it's not a big problem. As long as Pikachu doesn't pretend, Mortar won't be able to cause any waves." Gongsun Yan deliberately looked at Mortar twice, but still felt that Xiaozhi had a better chance of winning.
"By the way, Liliae, you probably don't know about the Pokémon called Ursa Major. Come, let me tell you the basic information of this Pokémon." At this time, Gongsun Yan suddenly thought of something and began to popularize it to Liliae.
In fact, Gongsun Yan doesn't know much about the information of most Pokémon that are not very popular. However, the usage rate of Pokémon like Ursa Major is indeed quite high. Even Gongsun Yan likes to use it. It is quite nice to play with it occasionally.
Putting aside Gongsun Yan who was busy trying to improve his favorability, Xiaozhi had no idol baggage at all. He didn't care at all whether this was the semi-finals or not. He took out the Pokémon Encyclopedia very easily and started taking pictures of the Ursa Major.
However, Xiaozhi's Pokémon Pokédex is not the kind of Pokémon Pokédex in the original work that only contains information about Pokémon in one region, but a pseudo-national Pokédex that shares data with the Pokédex in Gongsun Yan's hands.
So Xiaozhi still knew a certain amount of information. At least he knew that Tongkat Ali was a Dark-type and Normal-type Pokémon, and was four times restrained by Fighting-type. Xiaozhi didn't know more.
"Never mind, Pikachu, I'll leave it to you from now on. Let's start with a 100,000 Volts!" After listening to the introduction of Bearcat, Xiaozhi decisively threw the description behind his mind. Regardless of anything else, he started with a 100,000 Volts.
"Pikachu!" A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl was released from Pikachu's tiny body and hit the bear on the ground.
"Block the bear, come on, use Hell Thrust!"
Faced with the lightning coming towards it, instead of dodging, Warframe attacked Pikachu. The originally cold evil energy suddenly began to boil and gathered on Warframe's right hand.
Then, Ursa Minor jumped up and rushed towards the lightning falling from the sky. Although the 100,000-volt lightning emitted by Pikachu was powerful, it was split in half by Ursa Minor's Hell Spike.
The Bear crushed the lightning all the way to Pikachu, and knocked Pikachu down with one blow.
Pikachu tried hard to adjust its body in mid-air and finally did not fall directly to the ground, avoiding secondary damage. However, Pikachu's throat was also affected by the negative effect of Hell Stab, and it could not make any sound for a short time.
However, Brachycephalus' condition was not very good either. Although he used the sharpness of Hell Spike to separate the 100,000 volts released by Pikachu, the powerful electric current still left a big mark on his body. At least his right hand had turned black, so he should not think of launching another attack in the short term.
Chapter 468: Can't Think of a Chapter Title
"Stop the bear, show some courage, and use the self-sacrificing charge!"
"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"
Both Wang Xiaoming and Xiaozhi were obviously reckless type of trainers, so they decisively started a second collision after the first one, and they chose the kind of fist-to-flesh collision.
It is actually quite normal for Kuma to choose this kind of melee combat method. Although his special attack and physical attack racial values are not very good, his physical defense racial value of 101 determines that he has a better resistance to physical attack moves, so it is reasonable for him to use the melee combat that he is better at against the enemy.
But Pikachu is different. Let us put aside our preference for Pikachu and his incredible record and judge Pikachu objectively. It is not difficult to find that even though Pikachu's physical attack racial value is five points higher than its special attack racial value, its poor health and physical defense make it only able to play the role of a long-range shooter.
However, putting aside the facts... If you put aside the facts, what are you talking about! This is Pikachu, not just any Pikachu, this is Pikachu!
"boom!"
With a loud collision, in the stunned eyes of the audience, the oppressive Blocker Bear was knocked away by Pikachu, a recognized cute creature, and slid for a short distance before stopping after landing.
Pikachu's landing was just a little unsteady. After using all fours to increase friction, he quickly stabilized his body without even taking a breath. It didn't look like he had just killed one opponent and knocked another away.
"Haha, this is the true face of Pikachu." Gongsun Yan said that he felt very comfortable when he saw this scene. Pikachu who was no longer acting was definitely worthy of the title of Pikachu. This feeling of oppression made Gongsun Yan a little at a loss.
"Pikachu, press on and use 100,000 Volts!" After seeing that Pikachu had the upper hand, Xiaozhi immediately ordered Pikachu to continue attacking.
Due to the limitation of Hell Spike, Pikachu could not respond to Xiaozhi, but the violent lightning showed Pikachu's mood. There was almost no interval between Iron Tail and 100,000 Volts, and the switching of moves was as smooth as a hot knife cutting butter.
"Stop it, stop it!" Facing Pikachu's attack, Wang Xiaoming knew that he could not defeat it. The Pikachu on the opposite side seemed to have turned on cheats after entering the final tournament. All kinds of tough guys fell at his hands, relying on this one 100,000 volt move.
A huge red cross appeared in front of the blocking bear. One hundred thousand volts hit the red cross. The violent electric current spread out and created one scorch mark after another on the grass field, but it could not make any progress.
"It's useless. The blocking move can block any move. Although the success rate will be reduced after continuous use, it is indestructible now!" Wang Xiaoming performed facial expressions on the spot. His expression was very distorted at one point, which made Gongsun Yan's scalp numb. Can these expressions be made by humans?
"Crack!"
As if to slap Wang Xiaoming in the face, just after he finished saying these words, a crisp sound was heard. The entire venue was silent for a moment, followed by a series of noises, and cracks appeared on the red cross, as if it would break in the next moment.
"What?! This is impossible!" Wang Xiaoming obviously couldn't accept the fact, but the fact would not change according to his thoughts, unless he possessed the power of imagination. However, even if his name was Wang Xiaoming, he was not the pink devil.
Again, whether it is defending, seeing through, or blocking, these moves that are said to be able to resist damage 100% can only be effective when the strength gap between the two sides is not big. Xiaozhi's Pikachu is definitely at the king level when he is not acting, so blocking is already shaky.
"Roar!!!" After breaking through the barrier of the bear, one hundred thousand volts hit the bear's body with no less force. The brutal electric current continued to rage on the bear's body, causing it to let out a series of shrill wails.
One hundred thousand volts lasted for dozens of seconds before it stopped. Pikachu couldn't help but gasp for breath after landing on the ground. Even he could not hold on to such intense consumption. This was one hundred thousand volts at full strength.
With the end of 100,000 Volts, the figure of Dulan Bear remained motionless, which made people wonder whether Dulan Bear had lost its fighting ability. However, the referee did not announce the result of the game, which made the audience somewhat puzzled.
"Crack!"
At this moment, a crack appeared on the body of the blocking bear, and then spread to the whole body, as if it had reached some limit. The originally very strong body collapsed in an instant, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Wait, what is that?... Oh no, Pikachu, get out of the way!"
There seemed to be a hint of green in the wreckage. Xiaozhi felt something was wrong after seeing that hint of green. He seemed to have seen this tactic somewhere before. It seemed that a guy with the surname Gongsun often used this tactic.
After hearing Xiaozhi's shout, Pikachu also felt a gust of evil wind coming from behind him. If it were an ordinary Pokémon, he might have turned around to look, but Pikachu was different. He knew clearly that looking back at this time would only miss the opportunity, so he had to dodge as soon as possible.
However, even if Pikachu made an evasive move, it was useless. A left hand suddenly shot out from a completely unexpected position and stabbed Pikachu hard in the waist. It was the first time that Pikachu was knocked away since he went into battle.
This time, Pikachu was unable to adjust and had to fall heavily to the ground. After landing, it rolled several times before barely stopping.
The blocking bear on the other side was not in a much better condition. Puffs of white smoke were coming out of his body. His originally intertwined black and gray hair had now turned a uniformly charred black, and a smell of burning protein surrounded his body.
Obviously, Douglas didn't expect Pikachu to be able to break Douglas' defense, which resulted in him failing to use his Stand move in the first place and suffering the first wave of 100,000 volts of damage.
In addition, the substitute moves consumed a lot of his physical strength. The sneak attack on the vital points just now was already the limit of what his body can bear. Now his body can no longer support him to use any offensive moves. This has nothing to do with willpower, but is the body's protection mechanism.
But, "Block the bear and roar loudly!"
Chapter 469: Outstanding Young Man
"Stop the bear and roar loudly!"
Although the body of the Bearcat was already shattered, it could still make some sounds, so it gathered strength on the spot and roared at the fallen Pikachu. Waves of evil energy appeared in its mouth and spread out in the form of visible sound waves.
Pikachu, who had finally managed to stand up, was hit directly by the huge roar. Pikachu had no choice but to cover his ears in an attempt to block out the sound, but it was obviously a drop in the bucket. The roar of the bear still continued to ring in his ears, and Pikachu even felt a little tinnitus for a while.
"Pikachu, Pikachu, get out of the way!" Seeing this, Xiaozhi kept asking Pikachu to get out of the way, but Pikachu, who was in a state of tinnitus, obviously couldn't hear Xiaozhi's instructions, so it just stood there motionless and took the damage.
"Drumroll, good job, roar again!" After seeing that Drumroll's attack was effective, Wang Xiaoming decisively chose to use the same trick again, trying to get rid of Pikachu.
"Pikachu!!!"
Seeing the increasing amount of Dark energy coming out of the mouth of the Impala, Xiaozhi suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs. It was obvious that Pikachu should not be able to hear Xiaozhi's voice, as the severe tinnitus could completely block out all the sounds outside. However, the fact was completely the opposite, Pikachu actually heard Xiaozhi's shouting.
"Pi~ka~qiu!!!"
Pikachu looked at the Bearcat in front of him fiercely, and crawled down. More violent electric currents spread out from his body, completely destroying the surrounding grass. Finally, the scattered electric currents returned to Pikachu and completely wrapped his body.
The electric currents surrounding Pikachu gradually changed from golden to silver-white, and its nature also changed significantly. Not only did it lose its original violentness, but it became more peaceful. However, this peace contained a hint of brutality that was difficult to suppress, giving people a feeling that once it erupted, it could even destroy the world.
After a brief calm, Warcraft and Pikachu launched attacks almost at the same time. The violent sound waves and the swift Volt attacks collided violently. In the end, Pikachu was better and crushed Warcraft all the way, knocking it out of the field.
The Bearcat was obviously at the end of its strength and lost its ability to fight before it even hit the ground. It was caught in the Poké Ball by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Wang Xiaoming.
However, Pikachu's condition was obviously not much better. The anti-injury effect of Volt's attack was too outstanding. After defeating Gremlins, although Pikachu did not fall into a coma immediately, he could not even stand up.
"Pikachu!" Xiaozhi immediately told the referee that Pikachu would withdraw from the game, then jumped from the stage to the competition field, picked up Pikachu, and handed it to Xiaogang who had specially rushed over from his position.
"Pikachu and Warmind have both lost their ability to fight. Please release your next Pokémon!" The referee announced the result of the game immediately.
"Tsk tsk, Xiaozhi's growth is really obvious. Even without using that last trump card, he doesn't seem to lose to the Elite Four. The only thing is that he's not stable enough." Gongsun Yan said experiencedly in the audience.
Gongsun Yan has fought against quite a few Elite Four and Champions, including Kikuko and Professor Oak. Even though the Saiyou Tournament has not yet ended, he still found time to ask for advice, and has some understanding of the fighting style of trainers of this level.
Apart from other things, at least Xiaozhi and Pikachu are not much different from the Four Heavenly Kings in terms of hard power, but they are not smooth enough. According to Gongsun Yan's experience, the battle of each of the Four Heavenly Kings can be described as smooth, and every command seems to be so easy, even if it is a passerby who doesn't know how powerful it is, seeing their battle will feel like a pleasure.
There is no need to say much about the tacit understanding between Ash and Pikachu, but their fighting style is a bit too rough and tough. In other words, it is not elegant enough. You know, elegance never goes out of style. After all, the Elite Four and the Champion are the face of each region. They can't fight like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins.
There were more than one person who had the same idea as Gongsun Yan. The Four Heavenly Kings of Hoenn and the Champion who had gathered in the dark room before were now sitting on the viewing platform on the rooftop, watching Xiaozhi's battle. After discussing for a while, they came to a similar evaluation as Gongsun Yan.
“Even though there are shortcomings of this or that kind, I still have to say that today’s young people are really outstanding. An old guy like me will be left stranded on the beach!” After the discussion, King Genji suddenly said with emotion.
The other three kings and Mikoli who were sitting next to King Genji couldn't help but reveal a subtle smile after hearing these words. Even Mikoli didn't dare to say that he could definitely defeat King Genji's Dragonite. How could they bear it when such a being said that he was not strong enough?
However, Genji's idea was not completely wrong, he naturally had his own plans. Although Ash's strength was nothing in front of him now, he was confident that he could defeat Ash and Pikachu even with the weakest main Pokémon. But the key to the problem was that Ash was only eleven years old now!
Any trainer and Pokémon has a golden period in their growth. Satoshi is still in the initial stage of his golden period, but Genji’s golden period has been over for who knows how many years. Both the strength of the Pokémon and himself have reached a limit.
Now he will only get weaker as time goes by. If he was not good at dragon-type Pokémon, the effect of time on strength would not be so obvious. He should have given up his position long ago. However, he has been holding on until now and his body can no longer bear it, so he has started to choose a successor.
"The Kanto region is lucky to have such an outstanding young man. However, our Hoenn region is not bad either. Not only do we have two outstanding champions, Daigo and Mikoli, but we also have the rising star Gongsun Yan. The future of Hoenn depends on these three people."
King Genji sighed for a while and turned his attention back to Gongsun Yan. Even though he didn't know where Gongsun Yan's exact location was, he just glanced around and locked onto Gongsun Yan's location, his eyes full of pride.
Chapter 470: Duel between Swordsmen
"Are we in a desperate situation..." After Wang Xiaoming took back the Brachydios, he instantly became emo, looking at the battle panel between him and Xiaozhi above his head. Five avatars on his side had dimmed, while only four avatars on Xiaozhi's side had dimmed.
"Are you going to lose... No, I don't agree. Brother Shi, please watch carefully. This is my last battle. I'm counting on you, my partner, Commander Slash, come on!" Wang Xiaoming threw the Poké Ball in his hand fiercely.
"Lizard King, it's up to you from now on, go ahead!" Xiaozhi also threw out his Poké Ball at the same time.
The next moment, two majestic Pokémon stood on the field at the same time. Perhaps it was because of the mutual respect between the opponents, the two Pokémon noticed each other as soon as they appeared, and as their eyes met, the same words emerged in their hearts at the same time.
"This opponent is definitely not simple."
There is no need to say much about Lizard King, he is Xiaozhi's absolute main force in the Hoenn region. Although now because of the existence of Suicune and Pikachu's cessation of acting, his strength ranking in the team has dropped to third place, and if it weren't for the fact that the attributes of Milotic were restrained by him, it would be hard to say whether he would be in the third place, but Lizard King's strength should not be underestimated.
Slash Commander is the signature Pokémon of the Unova region. Although its racial stats are not as high as Lizardlord's, its racial stats are well distributed. The most important physical attack racial stat is as high as 125 points, which is a level that many quasi-god Pokémon cannot reach. This shows how powerful Slash Commander's melee combat is.
And this is not the most important point. Let's take a closer look at the appearance of the Slash Commander. Does it give you a strong sense of déjà vu? To be honest, Gongsun Yan had a strange feeling when he first saw the Slash Commander. He always felt that he looked like a character from the Masked Studio next door, not a character from the Pokémon Studio.
When you think about the attributes of Commander Slash and the name Wang Xiaoming, do you feel an inexplicable sense of fit?
"Commander Slash, this may be our last battle, so let's go all out!"
Following Wang Xiaoming's low shout, Commander Chop suddenly rubbed the blades on his arms, causing sparks to fly, and the fighting spirit in his mind boiled to the extreme.
"Lizard King, let your opponent see your strength!"
Xiaozhi did not show any sense of restraint at all because this was a match point game. He was still full of energy. His words of encouragement to the Lizard King were just as dry, but they were the best encouragement for his Pokémon.
"just!"
The Lizard King took out his ancestral branch from his body, put it in his mouth skillfully, turned around and gave Xiaozhi a thumbs up.
This familiar action also made Xiaozhi dazed for a moment. He seemed to see the Charizard during the Silver Conference. At that time, Charizard also responded to him with such an action. Thinking of this, Xiaozhi subconsciously wanted to turn his head away, because if it was Charizard, the flames would be swept towards his head in the next second.
However, Xiaozhi quickly reacted and realized that the one standing on the field was not Charizard but Lizard King, so he gave Lizard King a thumbs up with a smile.
After completing this action, the Lizard King turned his body back contentedly and looked at the Slash Commander opposite him again. The smile on his face disappeared instantly and his attention was completely focused on his opponent.
The match point of the semi-final has begun.
At the same time, Gongsun Yan in the audience was somewhat skeptical about his life. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the scene on the field looked familiar. He seemed to have seen a similar plot in the TV series "The Great Shocker Escape".
"On one side is the demon Wang Xiaoming wiping his blade, and on the other side is Duo Kan Kong Wo? Why do I feel that this scene is somewhat familiar? This shouldn't be the first episode of the TV series, right?"
Okay, the protagonist’s bubbling is over, let’s turn our attention back to the game field. When these two Pokémon, who are both good at close combat, collide with each other, what kind of sparks will be created?
"Lizard King, Blade Leaf Slash!"
"Cut the commander, cut continuously!"
As soon as the battle began, both of them chose melee moves at the same time to test each other's strength. Although the Chop Commander's moves had an attribute advantage, the Lizard King had the blessing of his own moves, so what needed to be fought between the two was hard power.
After the trainer's order was given, the two Pokémon disappeared from the spot almost at the same time and launched a surprise attack on each other. The grass leaves on Lizard King's arms became stronger and harder under the effect of Blade Leaf Slash; and the arm blades on Slash Commander's arms also appeared light green, representing insect energy, and began to vibrate.
"Canglanglang!"
As the blade slash and the continuous slash collided with each other, a crisp sound of metal collision rang out from the collision point. It was hard to imagine that one side was steel and the other side was grass leaves colliding together and making such a sound.
However, the two sides in the fight did not have the leisure to think about these trivial matters, or they did not have the time to think about them. By the time the audience heard the sound of metal colliding, the Lizard King and Commander Slash had already fought for several rounds. For a while, the field was like a blacksmith shop, with the sound of ping-pong.
"Cha?" The more the Lizard King fought with Commander Slash, the more frightened he became. At the beginning, Commander Slash was slightly at a disadvantage when fighting him, but as the number of collisions increased, the Lizard King gradually fell into a disadvantage and was even suppressed now.
"Lizard King, find a way to break free!" It was the first time that Xiaozhi saw an opponent who could suppress the Lizard King in the aspect of 'Kendo'. Although the Lizard King had lost many times in the past, they were all lost in other areas, not in the aspect of 'Kendo'.
After hearing Xiaozhi's order, the Lizard King immediately gave up the fight, stomped the ground hard with his right foot, and jumped quickly to the right, avoiding the fierce move of the Slash Commander.
This first fight made the two realize that the Pokémon sent by their opponent was not simple.
"Since we are at a disadvantage in close combat, let's try long-range attacks." Xiaozhi immediately waved his right hand and shouted.
"Lizard King, use Energy Ball!"
The yellow balls behind the Lizard King suddenly lit up, and the grass energy stored in them gathered in the Lizard King's mouth. A green energy ball appeared in the Lizard King's mouth and shot towards the Slash Commander.
