Naqi was obviously shocked by the physical strength of the forest lizard, and quickly asked the Tanabata Bluebird to give the forest lizard the final blow.
However, the forest lizard said he would not pretend anymore and kept running around the field. For a while, the Qixi Bluebird could only follow behind the forest lizard and none of its dragon breath could hit the opponent.
Instead, the forest lizard found a flaw and took the opportunity to fire a seed machine gun at the Qixi Bluebird. The damage was surprisingly not low, causing the Qixi Bluebird to suffer a lot.
Gongsun Yan even suspected that the forest lizard had used cheats. Even if it hit the vital point, it should only have caused half the damage. How could it cause such heavy damage? The forest lizard was obviously only level 30 now.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Naqi quickly asked Tanabata Bluebird to use the dragon breath move. However, the forest lizard, which was in surprisingly good condition at the moment, dodged the dragon breath with just a few jumps.
Not only that, the Forest Lizard also jumped onto the head of the Tanabata Bluebird. As an opportunist, Xiaozhi naturally would not miss this good opportunity. He directly let the Forest Lizard use the blade to chop the Tanabata Bluebird's head hard.
"Bang!" The Qixi Bluebird was knocked directly to the ground by the forest lizard. As the dust was dispersed, the Qixi Bluebird, which had lost its ability to fight, appeared in front of everyone.
This unexpected result shocked everyone present except Gongsun Yan. Even Gongsun Yan couldn't believe it. After all, even if this blade had a lot of gravitational potential energy, it shouldn't have caused the Qixi Bluebird to lose its combat capability.
Gongsun Yan thought about the forest lizard's record of using blade leaves in the anime. He wondered if this forest lizard had some nickname of "One-Sword Superman", otherwise this series of instant kills would be too incomprehensible.
Under normal circumstances, the forest lizard must be at least thirty levels higher than Qixi Bluebird in order to kill the opponent in two moves, and each move must hit the vital points. Now he seriously suspected that Qixi Bluebird was just knocked unconscious by the knife leaf hitting its neck, and it was not because of its exhausted physical strength.
But no matter what everyone thought, it was an indisputable fact that the Forest Lizard won. Naqi also took back the Tanabata Bluebird and released the next Pokémon, Gullwing.
When Xiaozhi saw the Gullwing, he decisively took back the Forest Lizard and sent out Pikachu, which had four times the power to restrain the Gullwing.
This choice is very common sense, and everyone praised Xiaozhi's decision. However, Gongsun Yan did not hold out much hope. If Pikachu did not act, it would be fine, as he could rely on his strength to break all tactics.
But is it possible that Pikachu doesn't act? Of course it's impossible, and Naqi knows that Flying-type Pokémon are restrained by Electric-type Pokémon, so naturally she knows how to restrain Electric-type Pokémon.
Sure enough, facing Pikachu's powerful 100,000 volts, the Toucan directly inserted one of its wings into the ground, directing all of Pikachu's electricity into the ground, and only received some minor damage itself.
As a result, the Gullwing was fine, but Team Rocket underground was blown up by Pikachu's 100,000 volts. Team Rocket, who hadn't reacted yet to what was happening, subconsciously rushed up when they saw Pikachu. As a result, the dowsing rod-like thing in Musashi's hand directly attracted part of Pikachu's electricity over.
As a result, the Rockets were sent into the sky less than ten seconds after they appeared on the field. The people watching the game had no time to react to what happened, and the Rockets turned into a meteor in the sky.
Although Gongsun Yan knew that it was the Rockets, he did not express his thoughts aloud. Everyone did not care too much about it and immediately shifted their attention to the court.
Although Xiaogang later discovered that the purpose of the Gullwings's use of the Steel Wings was to conduct electricity by inserting its wings into the ground, the situation on the field at that moment did not allow Xiaozhi to come up with a suitable tactic in time.
While maintaining the Steel Wings move, Toussaint also used the Water Cannon move to attack Pikachu, which made Gongsun Yan jealous. Although most of the Pokémon he has now are stronger than Toussaint, no other Pokémon can use two moves at the same time.
Gongsun Yan had originally planned to go get the skills after the gym battle, but when he thought about the "good thing" he had done unintentionally, he suddenly felt a little hesitant to ask about something that was obviously a secret technique.
Just when Gongsun Yan was struggling, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Xiaozhi saw Pikachu struggling under the water cannon and immediately ordered Pikachu to use the Thunder move.
The reason why Thunder has a low hit rate is because its position is fixed and it is very easy to avoid. However, Xiaozhi does the opposite and uses Thunder directly targeting Pikachu, so the chance of hitting is 100%.
Water can conduct electricity, so Nopal, which was maintaining its Water Cannon move, was also affected by the thunder. As mentioned before, the amount of electricity that ground-type Pokémon can generate per unit time is limited, not to mention Nopal, which was just taking advantage.
The electricity generated by thunder is obviously beyond the ability of the gull to bear. The excess electricity continues to wreak havoc in the gull's body. The gull, which has four times weaker electricity, cannot even bear this part of electricity and decisively loses its combat capability.
However, Pikachu was not in a better condition. Since he did not have the characteristics of a lightning rod, he would still be hurt by thunder. Combined with the damage from the water cannon before, Pikachu also lost his ability to fight.
In this match, both sides tied!
Chapter 172 What is Shiny Pokémon?
Nachi was in a very good mood after taking Gullup back. After all, it was an extraordinary performance for Gullup with quadruple weak electricity to defeat an electric-type Pikachu. Satoshi was not a rookie trainer, so everyone was happy that this move could work once.
The defeat of Pikachu, his trump card, made Xiaozhi a little depressed, as he had placed high hopes on Pikachu.
However, Xiaozhi was obviously not the kind of person who would indulge in loss. He quickly regrouped, returned to the platform, and prepared to release the last Pokémon.
Nachi also speaks highly of Ash's optimistic attitude, but as a gym leader, she will not let him down in the battle. Quite the contrary, she will take this battle more seriously and use her strongest strength to defeat her opponent.
Of course, even if the opponent is defeated by her, as long as the performance is good enough, Naqi will give the gym badge to the opponent.
This is also the main way for most civilian trainers to obtain badges. After all, not everyone has good enough luck and talent like Xiaozhi, who was able to get eight badges to participate in the league in his first year of traveling and won a good result of 16th place.
You should know that the badge is valid for a full three years, which means that the league gives all trainers three years to collect badges. Those who fail to collect all the badges within three years should consider giving up the identity of a trainer.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the badges will be useless after three years. It’s just that you can’t use these badges to participate in league competitions after three years and you have to obtain them again. However, the information of these badges can still be found in the records on the official website.
So after seeing Xiaozhi's current appearance, Naqi has decided to give the badge to Xiaozhi regardless of winning or losing, but now she also wants to see where Xiaozhi's limit is. She is very confident about her next Pokémon.
As Nachi threw the Poké Ball in her right hand, a different-colored Elf appeared in front of everyone. It must be said that Shiny Elf is a Pokémon whose appearance has rarely declined among Shiny Pokémon. The originally mighty and handsome Elf has turned into such an environmentally friendly color, which is a bit eye-catching at first glance.
Of course, the shiny forms of all the dragon-type quasi-god Pokémon in the authentic version have lowered their appearance. Even the relatively good Dragonite, which looked so good when it was Dratini and Dragonite, but after evolving into Dragonite, it kept breaking down and was simply not worth looking at.
Fortunately, Gongsun Yan's Haxorus has black features and different colored flashes, otherwise he would never bring it out of the game.
When Ash saw the Grand Swallow come on the field, he had no intention of releasing the third Pokémon. Instead, he sent out the Forest Lizard that had appeared once before, intending to let the Forest Lizard create another miracle.
But the miracle did not happen. Although the forest lizard used its speed advantage to hit the giant swallow in the air with its blade, it did not cause enough damage to the giant swallow. The giant swallow counterattacked with a move of Swallow Return and knocked the forest lizard into the sky.
The forest lizard that fell from the sky lost its combat capability instantly, and the king swallow did not consume any energy at all.
After taking back the Forest Lizard, Xiaozhi also released his own Tailwinder. He chose to confront Nachi's Shiny Tailwinder head-on, even though the opponent was very good at air combat.
The Pokémon on the field at the moment are Shiny Swift and Bug Swift. These two Pokémon of the same species but both are unique will compete with each other in this arena.
Seeing that King Swallow had also activated the second form of this battle field, the elevators carrying the two trainers rose to the highest point. If the trainers wanted to command the Flying-type Pokémon fighting in the air, they naturally had to stand at a higher position.
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the trainer. The strong wind that may appear at any time will greatly interfere with the trainer's command.
However, Naqi has long been accustomed to commanding Pokémon in this environment, and Xiaozhi has the physical bonus of a true rookie, so these influences are small problems that can be overcome by them.
However, Xiaozhi did not have any experience in high-altitude combat, and recklessly he let Swallow use its wings to attack Shiny Swallow. After Shiny Swallow blocked this move, Swallow lost its balance due to the use of the move and crashed straight into the ground.
Xiaozhi also planned to let the Big Swallow control the body, but Naqi naturally would not give up such a good pursuit opportunity, and directly let the Shiny Big Swallow use pecking skills to attack the falling Big Swallow.
As Shiny Tyranitar continued to attack, the two Pokémon were rapidly approaching the ground. Shiny Tyranitar was not greedy for that little output and climbed directly upwards at a safe distance to avoid falling directly to the ground.
And Xiaozhi's King Swallow lived up to the name of BUG Swallow. At the last moment, it controlled its body, climbed up to zero distance, and returned to the air.
The onlookers were also amazed at the wonderful performance of the two king swallows. Xiaosheng even praised the outstanding strength of the shining king swallow.
However, looking at the fighting scene on the scene, Xiaosheng suddenly had a doubt in his mind and asked Gongsun Yan who was sitting next to him.
"Hey, why do I feel like shiny Pokémon are so strong?"
After hearing this question, Xiaogang and Xiaoyao also looked at Gongsun Yan. After all, among all the people present, he was the one who had the most shiny Pokémon, and he was also the person most likely to know the answer to this question.
Although Brock is a former gym trainer, he has the responsibility of raising many younger brothers and sisters. Before he met Satoshi, he had never been able to travel, and naturally had never seen or captured any shiny Pokémon.
"Uh, how should I answer this question?" Gongsun Yan scratched his head after hearing this question. Although he knew the answer to this question, he didn't know how to organize his words for a moment.
In fact, he had read a lot of Pokémon fan fiction in his previous life. Those novels usually added some special abilities to the shiny Pokémon. The source of inspiration was naturally Ash's shiny Nightowl.
However, after he really came to the Pokémon world, he realized that it was not that the shiny Pokémon had any special abilities, but that the shiny Pokémon with special abilities would be widely known.
Although people say that Shiny Pokémon have some special abilities, this statement is actually both right and wrong. Shiny Pokémon is just a change in color and it has no effect on the strength of the Pokémon. It's just that the Shiny Pokémon that appear in the eyes of everyone are stronger.
Chapter 173 Gongsun Yan Enters the Stage
There are often two reasons for this result. First, people who capture a shiny Pokémon will care more about it, and will devote more resources to its cultivation, so its strength will naturally become stronger.
Secondly, except for those shiny Pokémon hatched from eggs in the hands of trainers, those shiny Pokémon born in the wild are often abandoned by their race or even killed by their parents as soon as they are hatched because of their different appearance.
The young Pokémon that are driven out often find it difficult to survive in the wild, which is one of the reasons why there are so few shiny Pokémon.
Those shiny Pokémon that can survive in the wild are often gifted beings, otherwise they would have become nutrients of nature long ago.
So it’s not that Shiny Pokémon have any special abilities, but that the Shiny Pokémon that can survive are the best of their kind.
Ash's Nightowl is a good example. Ordinary Nightowls can rotate their heads 180 degrees when thinking, but Ash's Nightowl can rotate its head 270 degrees. Combined with its extremely high IQ, it can be said to be the IQ ceiling in Ash's team.
However, it is precisely because this nightowl has extremely high IQ and so many powerful super-powered moves that it can survive in the wild and become so powerful.
After Gongsun Yan used very simple words to describe the reason why shiny Pokémon looked so powerful, the people around him nodded one after another, indicating that they understood.
However, precisely because she understood what Gongsun Yan said, Xiaoyao was suddenly filled with worries about Xiaozhi's battle. After all, Naqi's Shiny King Swallow was obviously not cultivated after it was hatched from the egg, so it should be a wild Shiny Pokémon that has experienced the baptism of the wild.
Under Nachi's training, the air combat ability of this Shiny King Swallow has definitely been greatly improved. Coupled with their strong tacit understanding, she really feels that this battle between Ash and this King Swallow is a bit risky.
"Hey, hey, don't look down on Xiaozhi like that. His strength is much more than that!" Gongsun Yan didn't show any sign of worry at all, and Xiaogang next to him also had great confidence in Xiaozhi.
However, the situation on the field was not as optimistic as Gongsun Yan said. According to Gongsun Yan's observation, this shining king swallow should be a gifted being with amazing physical strength. It can even fire destructive death rays in succession without being affected by stiffness.
This ability is often seen in extremely strong Pokémon, and is relatively rare in slender Pokémon like Swallow. Xiaozhi's Swallow also suffered a lot from this trick.
However, even though this shining Giant Swallow has amazing talent, it cannot change the fact that the Giant Swallow's special attack racial value is extremely low. Even using a big move like the Destruction Death Ray is of no avail. The few bullets that hit the Giant Swallow are not as powerful as the previous pecking attack.
But Xiaozhi didn't seem to notice this, allowing King Swallow to constantly dodge the destructive death light in the air, and was finally hit directly by Swallow Return.
In fact, Gongsun Yan was very curious. With such a talent, shouldn't King Yan learn the Ultimate Impact move? Why choose the Destruction Death Ray, which is an incompatible move?
Xiaozhi on the field also knew that he couldn't go on like this. There was no way to escape defeat. Even if the King Swallow had a lot of backbone, it would just be a slow death.
Xiaozhi is indeed a person with perfect adaptability. After seeing the dust stirred up on the field, he immediately had an idea and thought of how to fight back.
Xiaozhi asked the King Swallow to use Lightning Flash to rapidly descend to the ground. Naqi did not suspect anything and also asked the Shining King Swallow to chase after it.
Just when it was about to approach the ground, Naqi used her usual trick to have the Shiny Giant Swallow use Swallow Return to attack the Giant Swallow, but Xiaozhi had already figured out a way to deal with it and had the Giant Swallow flap its wings at the ground.
The wings of the giant swallow hit the ground hard, and a huge cloud of dust appeared in the center of the venue. The shining giant swallow, which had originally used the rapid speed of the swallow to hide its body, was forced to reveal its figure and was killed instantly by a flap of the giant swallow's wings.
The changes in the advantage and disadvantage on the field were too fast. The Shining King Swallow, who was playing cat and mouse, was found an opportunity by the King Swallow to use a fierce move. The Shining King Swallow, who had already lost a lot of physical strength due to using multiple moves, fell down directly.
However, this may also be the result of Xiaozhi's Tyrant's special ability being superior. After all, compared to the weakening of stiffness that has a bad compatibility, enhancing physical strength and resistance to impact is more suitable for a Pokémon like Tyrant. Otherwise, Tyrant would not be able to hold on until Xiaozhi comes up with the formula for victory.
Everyone who saw this scene was very shocked, but they also immediately understood what tactics Xiaozhi used. Naqi also smiled and shook her head. She was too impatient this time, otherwise she should have won the battle.
However, as a gym owner, she would not be discouraged by the failure of this challenge. Instead, she was happy about Xiaozhi's outstanding performance. Such an unexpected challenger was worthy of her Flying Feather Badge.
However, Nachi immediately looked at a figure sitting in the spectator seats. The next battle might be the main course. The battle with Xiaozhi was so unexpected, so his strength must not be underestimated. Nachi silently raised Gongsun Yan's danger level by several levels.
Of course, if Gongsun Yan knew what Naqi was thinking, he would probably start to cry out for injustice. Although he and Xiaozhi both use cheats, his cheats are obviously weaker than Xiaozhi's. Xiaozhi's cheats lock health and can never be killed.
You have to know that the reason why Gongsun Yan is full of confidence in Xiaozhi's Big King Swallow is not only because he is familiar with the plot, but also because Xiaozhi has several battles with him every now and then, and he knows the strength of BUG Swallow too well.
This may be a bit too abstract, so let's just say that Dragonite once had a battle with King Swallow, and that battle was so intense that King Swallow was knocked to the ground by his dragon claws several times, but it refused to fall down.
As a result, the strong Tyrannosaurus was defeated by the King Swallow. Although the King Swallow also fell to the ground after Tyrannosaurus, and its injuries were more serious than those of Tyrannosaurus, a loss is a loss.
The defeat in this battle also allowed Dragonite, which had been a little bit arrogant after its evolution, to completely calm down. It also became more diligent in its daily training, which made Gongsun Yan feel very relieved.
After Xiaozhi's battle was over, everyone looked at Gongsun Yan who was sitting there. Gongsun Yan walked to Xiaozhi's side under everyone's gaze, high-fived Xiaozhi, and then walked onto the lowered lift platform.
Chapter 174: The First Battle at Yinyu Gym
"Well, starting now, the gym battle between Inyu Gym Leader Naqi and challenger Gongsun Yan of Weibai Town. Three Pokémon can be used, and the match ends when all Pokémon of either side are unable to fight." Sega said the familiar lines. Gongsun Yan was already at the place where Xiaozhi had just stood, preparing for his own gym battle.
"Come out, Nightowl!" Naqi was still the first to release her Pokémon. Although she was going to teach Gongsun Yan a lesson, she also had to abide by the basic rules of the gym trainer.
Moreover, the main reason why she wanted to teach Gongsun Yan a lesson was because she and Du Juan were good friends, and Gongsun Yan publicly bullied Du Juan in the gym challenge, so she naturally wanted to vent her anger for her best friend.
Of course, this was also because she didn't know that Gongsun Yan was the culprit who caused her to go to the mountain to get some fresh air late at night, and also caused Mikoli's confession plan to go down the drain. Otherwise, she would have had a physical PK with Gongsun Yan.
After seeing the Nightowl, Gongsun Yan knew that Naqi was serious about it. After all, this Nightowl was quite famous and had caused a lot of trouble to many challengers. Its most famous tactic was to start with mental power, and then use hypnosis and dream-eating skills.
Gongsun Yan also released his first Pokémon, a Haxorus that was teleported from the research institute.
Although she had seen it before when she was trying to stop Team Rocket, Naqi was still shocked by the unparalleled beauty of Haxorus. This gorgeous and powerful Pokémon completely hit her sensitive spot.
But she is a competent gym trainer, so after looking at Haxorus seven or eight times, she decisively turned her attention to the competition field and gave orders to her Pokémon.
"Night Owl, strong mind!"
"Pray for rain, 100,000 volts!" Gongsun Yan didn't care about the mental power used by Nightowl at all, and let Haxorus use his best tactics.
By the way, because of Gongsun Yan’s request, the gym challenges between him and Nachi have always been held at the highest point. After all, every Pokémon they release can fly.
Nightowl's attack was swift. He used a mental strengthening technique almost the next moment after Naqi gave the order. As his eyes emitted blue light, invisible waves continued to emerge around Haxorus, trying to control Haxorus in the air and cause damage to him.
Before Hakron could control him with his mental power, he successfully covered the entire field with a huge rain cloud. The wings of the nightowl in the sky were inevitably wet by the rain, and its flexibility was visibly reduced.
Not only that, at the moment when the mental power of Nightowl enveloped Hakron, a huge bolt of lightning shot out from Hakron's mouth and hit Nightowl.
"Get out of the way!" Naqi's voice was calm and even contained a strong sense of confidence.
"Gu!" The Nightowl flapped its wings and glided to the top of Hakron's head, but the mental power that had just attacked Hakron was forced to stop.
"Nightowl, air slash!" Naqi ordered quickly.
Gongsun Yan's pupils shrank when he heard this. Naqi was indeed a bird messenger who traveled around the world. She was not at all thrown off by Haxorus's attack. She was also very decisive and gave up on a move that she had finally managed to hit.
"Get out of the way!" However, in terms of strength, Gongsun Yan is not inferior to her!
"Meow~" Haxorus's snake body twisted in the air, making all the air slashes released by Nightowl miss, and he also took the opportunity to widen the distance between himself and Nightowl.
"Thunder!" Gongsun Yan decisively asked Haxorus to use the thunder move which was almost always effective in rainy days to defeat Nightowl.
After Gongsun Yan gave the order, Hakron manipulated the lightning contained in the rain clouds, and a huge bolt of lightning struck directly towards the nightowl below.
