Who Can Stop Gardevoir?
On the battlefield, Bruce and Raul stood on opposite sides, at the command seats, watching from a distance.
The two simply looked at each other in silence, neither of them taking the initiative to make a sound, allowing the loud noises from the auditorium to stay in their ears.
Several cameras were aimed at the two, and even the figure of a Magnemite camera was flying in the sky, projecting the images of the two onto the big screen.
This battle was highly anticipated.
In the quiet waiting of countless spectators, the place gradually began to fall silent, with only subtle sounds occasionally echoing.
The referee stood in the center of the field, looked around, and then said loudly, "Please send out your Pokemon!"
The two looked at each other, and suddenly, Raul's eyes became extremely sharp. He took the Poke Ball from his waist and threw it into the sky.
The Poke Ball opened with a 'bang', a red beam of light shot towards the ground, and a massive lobster appeared on the ground.
It had a five-pointed star on its head, a blue pattern on its chest, and several scars on its enormous pincers.
【 Pokemon: Crawdaunt (Water/Dark)
Ability: Adaptability
Qualification: Master
Level: Lv 46 (Ace)】
Crawdaunt has a violent personality, likes to fight, and will provoke battles at every turn. It is considered a very difficult Pokemon to breed.
Crawdaunt's type is Water/Dark, which can effectively deal with Bruce's three Pokemon, and the Water/Dark attack surface is not bad.
Secondly, Crawdaunt has its own uniqueness in its station exit. Its physical attack value is extremely high, its basic physical defense is acceptable, but its speed is somewhat embarrassing.
But along with the ability [Adaptability, Crawdaunt's performance is not bad at all.
Bruce was not surprised that Raul sent out Crawdaunt first. In fact, it was a Pokemon that countered his current team.
At the same time, Gardevoir gently landed on the field, her blue hair swaying, and she silently gazed at the opposing Crawdaunt.
"Gardevoir..."
Raul stared intently at Gardevoir, who landed on the ground. His face was calm and showed no obvious reaction.
But seriously, Crawdaunt and Gardevoir had a mutual counter relationship. Crawdaunt is immune to Psychic-type damage and is countered by Fairy-types.
But no matter, Gardevoir is an excellent "crispy skin," and as long as it can withstand the pressure and approach Gardevoir, it is very likely to cause serious damage.
This was also the result of the discussion between Raul and Luka. No matter which Pokemon Bruce chooses to send out, Crawdaunt can handle it effectively.
And what they did was... injury for injury!
They intended to replace Bruce's first Pokemon with Crawdaunt.
Many thoughts crossed his mind, Raul exhaled slightly, his eyes firm, ready.
The referee looked around and saw that the two were preparing. He waved the flag and shouted without hesitation, "The battle begins!"
When the voice landed, the heads of the two appeared on the big screen, clashing against each other, and the "VS" logo appeared in the middle.
The battle officially began!
Everyone was full of expectation and opened their eyes wide. The online viewers in the live broadcast room stopped sending bomb messages.
At the Metropolis University campus, countless students simultaneously looked up, staring at the giant screen.
On the field, Crawdaunt and Gardevoir silently observed, waiting for the Trainer's command.
Two voices sounded at the same time:
"Crawdaunt, Water Jet!"
"Gardevoir, Energy Ball!"
As the words fell, Crawdaunt touched its two huge pincers, and suddenly a jet of water shot up from the ground, covering it.
Immediately, the column of water enveloped Crawdaunt and rushed toward Sha Yiduo at lightning speed.
In the midst of sparks, Crawdaunt was already close to Gardevoir and hit it forcefully.
Boom!
Due to the ability [Adaptability, the damage of Aqua Jet was a little higher than usual, and Gardevoir suffered a collision. Her willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she took half a step back.
But Gardevoir's willpower was much better than when she was a Ralts. In an instant, her slender arms closed in front of her chest, and a vibrant Energy Ball formed in an instant, exploding!
The two Pokemon were close, and the Energy Ball exploded immediately.
Crawdaunt's reaction was astonishing. It stared, stretched its enormous pincers, and precisely sent the Energy Ball flying with its pincers.
Everyone leaned slightly forward, watching the astonishing scene.
But the Energy Ball continued to spin, exuding a terrifying energy. The next moment, Crawdaunt's face changed, and it tried to loosen its pincers.
But it was already too late, and the Energy Ball suddenly exploded, releasing a terrifying energy in an instant, followed by a loud roar and black smoke.
After a while, the black smoke dissipated, and Crawdaunt staggered, its massive pincers leaving a terrifying scar.
Obviously, this Energy Ball caused a considerable amount of damage to the opponent.
"Once more, Magical Leaf!" Bruce immediately shouted.
Given the current state of Crawdaunt, it was impossible for it to receive another Energy Ball.
"Scald!"
When Raul heard the words, he immediately stretched his arms and shouted.
Crawdaunt waved its giant pincers and looked at the Energy Ball coming through the air, immediately spraying boiling water from its giant pincers.
Boom!
The Energy Ball violently collided with the column of boiling water in the air, and smoke filled the air for a while, followed by deafening explosions.
"Crawdaunt, Sword Dance!" Raul seized the opportunity and shouted loudly.
Crawdaunt can master [Sword Dance] and [Dragon Dance, but Crawdaunt's speed is very low. Even if it uses Dragon Dance, its speed is still slower than other Pokemon.
And the lobster's basic endurance can't handle using Dragon Dance multiple times.
Therefore, most Crawdaunts play with Sword Dance, and the initiative and adaptability of Assist Aqua Jet can deal even more damage.
"Magical Leaf," Bruce reflected for a moment and then said seriously.
Gardevoir danced gracefully, and pieces of Magical Leaf danced along with her, surrounding her, and then she threw them at Crawdaunt one after another.
"Aqua Jet."
Raul stretched his arms and repeated the same trick.
Crawdaunt waved its giant pincers, and a jet of water shot up into the sky, covering it again, and then it rushed toward Gardevoir.
On the way, the column of water collided with the Magical Leaf and swallowed it whole.
Watching this scene, a slight smile appeared on Bruce's face as he suddenly said, "Thunderbolt."
Under normal circumstances, the water jet could launch a preemptive attack, but it had just encountered Magical Leaf and delayed for a long time, giving Gardevoir the opportunity to resist.
Gardevoir's eyes froze, she stared intently at Crawdaunt running toward her, and suddenly a violent thunder erupted from her body, converging into a thick electric column, and electricity crackled.
"Not good!"
Raul's face suddenly changed, and he secretly thought something was wrong.
Crawdaunt is twice as weak to electricity, and now it is covered in water, which will only amplify the damage from the electricity.
On the field,
Crawdaunt was only half a meter away from Gardevoir, but at this moment, it was an insurmountable pit.
Crawdaunt was struck precisely by the violent electric current, and suddenly, the electric current and the column of water produced a marvelous chemical reaction, causing Crawdaunt to cry out miserably from within.
It couldn't cross the last half meter.
Boom!
Crawdaunt fell heavily to the ground, bruised all over, its body slightly trembling due to the electric current at that moment.
"Crawdaunt!" Raul shouted anxiously.
"Boiling Iron!"
Crawdaunt did its best to lift its gaze, stared at Raul who was not far away, and let out a dissatisfied growl.
Finally, it slowly closed its eyes, and its body stopped trembling.
The referee, expressionless, looked at it and loudly declared, "Crawdaunt is unable to battle!"
Suddenly, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the auditorium.
"Not bad, I should have been waiting for this last opportunity," William watched the battlefield from afar and nodded slightly.
"When Crawdaunt is covered in water, it's the perfect time to use Thunderbolt," he added.
"And the Magical Leaf upfront is to delay Crawdaunt's attack time."
Emma rested her chin on her hand, her eyes full of admiration as she softly said, "Bruce's Gardevoir, the Breeder, is improving more and more."
"It already learned Thunderbolt."
In the front row of the audience,
Bin shook his head and said, "It's not difficult for him."
Oliver rubbed his chin and softly said, "Brother Bruce has firmly grasped Raul."
The coach from Kandor University bit the pencil, pondered for a long time, and then continued to add Gardevoir's information onto the paper.
"This Gardevoir really mastered Thunderbolt, it's very hidden."
Luka, sitting beside him, crossed his arms, frowned slightly, and said, "It's a little different from what I imagined."
The coach nodded slightly and said with a deep voice, "Normally, the preparation before the match is not everything."
"In a real fight, the situation changes so quickly that pre-match simulations are impossible."
Luka put a smile on his face, sat more comfortably in the auditorium, and said, "It seems like the next competition will get more and more interesting."
On the field,
Raul withdrew Crawdaunt, his face changed, and he finally took a deep breath and violently threw the second Poke Ball:
"It's up to you, Marowak."
The white light flourished, and Marowak appeared on the field.
Marowak was dark brown all over, with a white belly, holding a bone club, and its head was combined with a skull.
【Pokemon: Marowak (Ground)
Ability: Rock Head
Qualification: Master
Level: Lv 46 (Ace)】
Marowak was originally timid due to its weak body, but after getting used to fighting with bones, its character gradually became rough.
On the field,
Marowak firmly held the bone in its hand and stared at Gardevoir with piercing eyes.
Although it was short in stature, it exuded an aura that could not be underestimated.
Fierce battles were about to unfold.
