Aaron took back Beautifly, looked at it, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xiaoyun took back Volcarona and sighed softly.
This is the shortcoming of Beautifly, crispy skin.
Not every trainer can train a house bug to become as perverted as Giovanni's Beedrill.
The last one! Aaron threw his last one Poké Ball.
"Please, Drapion!"
"Scorpion--!"
A ferocious scorpion with a huge body, a dark purple shell, and a cold light flashing in both its pincers and the giant pincers on its tail appears! Menacing!
The cloud also threw Poké Ball.
"The final showdown is up to you!"
"Scorpion!"
A Drapion is also huge in size, but its shell is eye-catching fiery red!
"Is this the evolution of the original Skorupi?"
Aaron I remember this one because scorpions that can attack with fire are really rare.
"Yes, that's it."
Xiaoyun nodded.
Aaron took a deep breath. "Then come."
"Cross Poison!!"
Two Drapion Stockpile simultaneously, purple and red cross light waves erupted, exploding poisonous mist and sparks all over the sky.
"Poison Fang!"
Aaron's Drapion rushed out of the poisonous mist, opened its huge mouth, and bit the red Drapion with its fangs wrapped in purple venom!
"Poison Jab!"
The red Drapion didn't dodge or dodge, and slammed the incoming Poison Fang with giant pincers covered with Poison-type energy!
"We are coming too! Poison Jab!" Aaron's Drapion took the opportunity to smash down the other pliers!
"Poison Tail!" The red Drapion's thick tail was drawn out like a steel whip, blocking the attack Poison Jab!
The red Drapion was bitten with Poison Fang, and the purple Drapion was blocked with Poison Tail...
The two Drapion were like mirror images, using almost identical moves, and they were indistinguishable on the field.
They are all of the same kind and cannot be defeated.
Aaron's eyes flashed. "Then change your move and use Acupressure!"
"Scorpion!"
The tip of the purple Drapion's tail suddenly poked out, like acupuncture, targeting an acupuncture point on one's lower limbs, hurry up!
Acupressure Hand, speed increase!
The purple Drapion's movements instantly sped up! A quick Poison Tail hit the red Drapion!
"We also use Acupressure!" Xiaoyun responded calmly.
Red Drapion Use the tip of the pliers to point it at the joint of your arm, also faster!
Defense improved!
Bang!
Poison Tail hit the red Drapion, making a dull sound, but the red Drapion only swayed slightly and blocked the blow on the spot! As steady as a mountain!
"Acupressure Hand! Attack increased!"
Red Drapion used Acupressure again, this time on another place, and then, Cross Poison struck out with greatly increased power!
"Defense improvement!" Aaron quickly asked his Drapion to also use Acupressure to improve defense!
Boom boom! Cross Poison was blocked again!
"Don't tell me, Brother Aaron's Acupressure Hand is really useful." Xiaoyun said with a smile while commanding,
Shrimp and pig heart!
"You learned it well."
Aaron replied angrily.
No, he didn't teach it carefully at first. He just used it a few times in the battle. How come you learned it so easily and used it against him?
Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?
"Let's do something different." Xiaoyun's eyes narrowed. "Drapion, Inferno Poison Explosion!"
"Scorpion--!!!"
The red Drapion let out a low roar, and its pincers and tail simultaneously condensed a huge Energy Ball!
Three kinds of energy swirled wildly in front of it, converging into a terrifying red and purple energy vortex!
Mixed Venoshock and Fire Spin!
"Drapion, Toxic Trio!"
Aaron was not to be outdone and let his Drapion use the move that pushed the bottom of the box!
Purple Drapion, double pliers, teeth, tail pliers, and Stockpile at the same time!
Three purple energies burst out at the same time, converging into a circular Tackle wave!
Boom boom boom!!!
The terrifying energy collision blasted the surrounding ground into craters, and poisonous mist and flames raged!
The attack was stopped!
However, at this moment, Aaron's and Drapion's bodies suddenly went limp, and there was an obvious lag in their movements.
"It's a poisoned state!"
Aaron saw the state of Drapion at a glance, and his face changed. "How is that possible! They are all Poison-type, why is your poison effective?!"
Poison-type Pokémon is highly resistant to poison, almost immune, unless...
"Because my Drapion's Ability is Corrosion." Xiaoyun said slowly with a smile.
To be honest, when we started fighting, the red Drapion was already using poison. Drapion was still stronger than Aaron. In addition, due to excessive physical exertion and reduced resistance, the poison only took effect now.
"Corrosion? Ability is the same as Salazzle. Corrosion can poison Steel-type Pokémon as well?"
Aaron said
Your Drapion mutation is too exaggerated! Can it still be called a bug?
Drapion: I'm not a bug to begin with!
"Cross Poison!"
"Scorpion!"
The red Drapion once again cut out a solid Red color Cross Poison!
"We also use Cross Poison!"
Aaron's Drapion tried to fight back, but the weakness caused by the poison slowed down its movements by half a beat.
Click!
Red's Cross Poison smashed the purple Cross Poison to pieces, and then struck the purple Drapion with unabated force!
"Scorpion..."
The purple Drapion let out a low cry of reluctance and slowly fell to the ground.
"Drapion has lost the ability to fight! Challenger Xiaoyun wins!"
The referee's voice echoed throughout the audience.
The whole audience burst into warm applause and cheers!
"Yeah! My son wins!"
Lina jumped up excitedly and hugged Qing'an next to him.
"Xiaoyun This kid, I've been watching him since he was a kid."
Palmer also looked proud, as if it was his son who won.
Barry: "But dad, you were Xiaoyun a bitch before."
"Huh???"
Qing'an gives a death stare.
Palmer was sweating profusely, thinking that this traitor has a grudge against his father, right?
"Nothing, comb, I said I wanted a comb~"
Just joking with each other~
"Leave it to explain to the God of Death. If you dare to slander my son, look at me Crow Takes a Plane!"
Qing'an rushed forward with a vigorous step.
"Ah!!"
Palmer I feel like my waist is broken and I may have to say goodbye to walking upright in this life.
Salvia also laughed, "Xiaoyun is so awesome."
Dawn looked at the figure who was taking back Drapion, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
There are three games left, come on.
Aaron stood on the field, looked at Xiaoyun, and smiled bitterly, "Corrosion Ability's Drapion... you really have everything."
He was thinking about whether he should try to tame Salazzle. If the lizards were rounded off, they could also be insects.
"It's a fluke, it's all a fluke."
Xiaoyun transforms into Brother Lucky.
"This is not luck. It's not a loss if I lose to you. Fight well and win the championship. Bah, it's a good fight anyway."
Aaron swallowed the word champion hard and almost said something treasonous.
"Brother, don't cry."
"Brother, don't be sad, we will support you even if you lose."
The female fans cheered again on the field.
Flint was lying on the windowsill, watching this scene, and couldn't help but complain:
"This guy is so lively even after losing."
"You are just envious."
Lucian Speak your true thoughts.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Flint One denied three times in a row.
It's a joke, he won't admit it.
Granny Bertha looked at the audience with a smile:
"This young man is interesting. It's time to talk about me in the next game."
Several Elite Four and the champion turned to look at her at the same time.
Speaking of which, they haven't seen Granny Bertha take action recently.
Flint swallowed. "Mother-in-law, please take it easy."
Granny Bertha stared. "What? Do you think I'm old?"
"No, no, no!"
Flint waved his hands wildly. "I mean, please be gentle and don't hit people too hard."
"That's pretty much it."
Granny Bertha nodded with satisfaction and smiled like a kind grandmother next door.
But they all know that this grandma is also very fierce in fights.
The next day, the sun was still bright.
Lily of the Valley Island The atmosphere in the main venue was even more enthusiastic than yesterday.
After the first exciting showdown with the bug Elite Four Aaron, the audience had a more intuitive understanding of the strength of Xiaoyun and were full of higher expectations for the next game.
"Dear viewers! After a night's rest, our challenger Xiaoyun will face his second game Elite Four Challenge today!"
The host's passionate voice echoed throughout the audience.
"What he will face today is Ground-type Elite Four Granny Bertha, our most senior and most experienced Sinnoh League!"
"Wow--!!"
The whole audience burst into warm applause and cheers! Especially the middle-aged and elderly audience, the applause was particularly loud.
The popularity and prestige of Granny Bertha over Sinnoh is evident.
Observation room.
"Now we have a good show. My mother-in-law hasn't shown her true strength in an official competition for a long time."
Flint rubbed his hands, a little excited.
Cynthia got serious. "Senior Bertha's fighting style has always been steady and steady, but once he seizes the opportunity, he will be as heavy and deadly as the earth."
Lucian pushed up his glasses. "Ground-type is known for its heavy defense. If Xiaoyun wants to use speed or skills to take advantage of the situation, it may be very difficult."
Although Granny Bertha is mainly engaged in research work now, he has not lost any of the decisiveness that belongs to the older generation of trainers.
Aaron sat in the corner. "Can you please stop cueing me? My bugs are still being treated..."
The lounge next door.
"Today it's Xiaoyun versus Granny Bertha."
Salvia held his hands nervously.
"Granny Bertha looks very kind. He shouldn't be too fierce, right?"
Dawn said with some uncertainty that she had a very good impression of this kind old lady.
"Haha, Dawn girl, you are wrong about this."
Palmer leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed:
"I remember when Bertha was young, he was a ruthless character. His fighting style was just one word, reckless! But he was very methodical, the kind of reckless that would crush you with absolute power."
"That's right."
Qing'an rarely looked serious, but he had personally experienced the power of that mother-in-law.
"Senior is a true combatant. Her Ground-type team is as stable as Mt. Coronet. If she is ruthless, she can bury her opponent's Pokémon into the core of the earth. If she is serious, she will be much more difficult to deal with than Aaron."
This mother-in-law is the same generation as Professor Rowan, the veteran brand Elite Four who became famous in Sinnoh Region.
Even though he is now older and has shifted his focus to research and training, he has not lost a bit of the decisiveness and ruthlessness of an old-school trainer.
Lina listened and became even more worried. "Ah? Then my Xiaoyun..."
"Don't worry Lina, believe Xiaoyun, when has that child ever let you down?"
Johanna holds Lina's hand.
Barry muttered to the side, "Anyway, I think Granny Bertha's smile is a bit scary..."
Ayaka couldn't help laughing.
On the field.
Granny Bertha today changed into a dark-colored training suit that is easy to move around, and has a calm temperament.
Xiaoyun also walked out from the opposite passage and saluted Granny Bertha respectfully:
"Senior Bertha, please give me more advice."
"Xiaoyun, you're welcome."
Granny Bertha smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Mother-in-law, I am old and slow, so you have to give way to me."
"Mother-in-law, you are joking, I want to learn from you." Xiaoyun quickly humbled himself.
"Then, let's get started."
The smile on Granny Bertha's face faded slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
The whole person's aura instantly changed from a kind old lady to a battle-hardened iron-blooded instructor!
"The first one is you!"
Bang! A huge, rock-like Pokémon with stubby limbs landed heavily on the ground.
"Rumble!"
Golem roared, and the ground shook slightly.
"The first one is Golem. The standard start is Ground-type."
Xiaoyun's thoughts are spinning, and I feel that those who play Ground-type are more enthusiastic about Golem's family.
Probably because this thing is so hard that when you hit it on the field, you feel at ease just looking at it.
Ground-type Trainer: No, just because Geodude is easy to catch.
"Then, my vanguard, please!"
Xiaoyun also throws Poké Ball.
The elegant and slender figure landed lightly on the ground.
The emerald green body, golden neck ring, and scarlet eyes carry nobility and indifference.
Serperior! Sister Snake!
"Hiss~"
Sister Snake raised its slender neck, very satisfied that Xiaoyun was the first to send it out.
Well, that's right.
"Serperior? Do you want to use attributes to restrain it?"
Granny Bertha narrowed his eyes slightly. "However, in the face of absolute power, attributes are only auxiliary."
"Golem, Defense Curl, then Rollout!"
Golem's body curled up, the surface of the rock became more lustrous, and then Rapid Spin, like a boulder rolling down the hillside, rushed towards Serperior!
"Serperior, Leaf Storm!"
"Hiss!"
Serperior flicked its long tail, and countless sharp blades swept out along with the green whirlwind, facing the rolling Golem!
Boom! Zizzi--!
The blades cut into the rocky body of Rapid Spin, exploding countless sparks and debris!
The momentum of Golem was slowed down by Sheer Force, but it still braved the storm and continued to move forward Rollout!
"Very powerful!"
Xiaoyun's eyes narrowed.
The defense of this Golem and the power of Rollout are far beyond the ordinary level. If you replace it with the ordinary Rock-type, you must have explained it now.
"Serperior, Leaf Blade!"
Bang!
Rollout Tackle is on Serperior, but Sister Snake has been prepared!
First, use Leaf Blade to cushion, jump back lightly, and shoot out several Vine Whip at the same time, wrap around Golem's body, and start Absorb its physical strength to feed itself back.
"Little tricks. Golem, Earthquake!"
Granny Bertha doesn't care about Giga Drain at all, and directly launches a large-scale Beat Up attack!
Golem stop Rollout, high Splash, and then hit it hard!
Boom--!!!!
With Golem as the center, the terrifying shock wave spread violently in a ring! The entire battlefield shook violently, the ground cracked, and rocks flew up!
"Hiss!"
Serperior hissed in pain, and was shaken to the point of being unstable. Vine Whip, which was wrapped around Golem, also let go.
Xiaoyun quickly shouted, "Serperior, use Leaf Blade to jump up! Then use Leaf Storm!"
Serperior struggled Splash, barely avoiding the core Tackle of Earthquake.
It Sheer Force twisted in the air, its scarlet eyes glowed brightly, and a violent emerald green Leaf Blade storm poured down toward Golem below!
Contrary trigger!
Boom boom boom boom--!
Leaf Storm combined with Sturdy hit Golem!
Quadruple restraint! Coupled with the improved Contrary and the high Special Attack, the power of this attack is even greater.
So scary!
