With the appearance of Gyarados, the audience at the scene also became excited. Quasi-gods are too far away from them. Gyarados should be the top Pokémon that they can often come into contact with and has very impressive strength. There are few trainers who have not been chased by Beedrill or Gyarados. The title of rookie killer is not a random saying.
"Ah, Gyarados?" Gongsun Yan's expression suddenly became strange. He looked at A Shui opposite him with pity. He really didn't expect that the other party could be so unlucky and run into the gun every time. It was really unbelievable.
"What's wrong? Are you scared? Are you shocked by my strength?" Ah Shui said arrogantly. If this guy was in a fantasy novel, he would definitely die within three chapters, but it's almost the same in this book.
"No, you're overthinking it. I just feel sad for you. Come out, Gyarados." Gongsun Yan said expressionlessly.
That’s right, according to the results of the draw last night, Gyarados will be the first Pokémon to take the lead in the second half, which is the same as A Shui’s next Pokémon, but also different.
As the saying goes, it's not embarrassing to wear the same clothes, but it's embarrassing for the ugly one. The same goes for Pokémon battles. The problem is that you and your opponent are using the same Pokémon. The problem is that your strength is not as strong as your opponent's.
There is no need to tell you how buggy the Pokémon in Gongsun Yan's hands are. Except for the few that are deliberately leveled down, all of them are Quasi-King level, which is already a super-strong standard for the league competition. Although A Shui's Gyarados is well trained, it has just entered the Quasi-King level.
Also, don't forget that, although the author didn't describe it in detail, Gongsun Yan's Gyarados is the same shiny Gyarados as the dragon envoy Du. Given Du's showy nature, how could he not show off such a unique Gyarados everywhere?
"What did we see! A red Gyarados! The red Gyarados owned by the Dragon Master Duya! Player Gongsun Yan actually has a red Gyarados!" The commentator on the side even shouted with a slightly changed voice, which shows how surprised he was.
The audience in the audience also went crazy, and they all cheered for the red Gyarados. With this wave of popular support, Gongsun Yan couldn't think of how to lose. This is where his real advantage lies.
What's more, when Gongsun Yan's Gyarados was swung there, it was obviously more than a circle bigger than A Shui's Gyarados. It was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker. A Shui on the opposite side was so angry that he could hardly stand. He had finally put on a show of force, but it happened to hit the opponent's strong point. He couldn't resist and was very angry.
"Don't be so proud. Gyarados and I will not lose! Gyarados, Dragon Dance!" A Shui said gritting his teeth.
Suddenly, the blue Gyarados began to sway on the water with very enchanting movements. The originally beautiful dance posture lost all its beauty on a ferocious Pokémon like Gyarados, but it was quite powerful. As the movements were completed continuously, the blue Gyarados was successfully strengthened.
In response to this, Gongsun Yan did not immediately let Gyarados interrupt the opponent, or use the same amplification moves to strengthen himself, but simply stood on the side and watched the show. Even Gyarados had the same posture, as if admiring the opponent's dance.
Gongsun Yan certainly didn't choose to make a splash because his team had a huge advantage, but he suddenly had a bold idea. This method would definitely ignite the enthusiasm of the audience, but it was a little unfriendly to A Shui, the background board.
In addition, if the opponent is too weak, the performance will not be so outstanding, so Gongsun Yan will definitely strengthen the opponent first, so that the watchability can be greatly improved.
After the blue Gyarados finished the whole dance, Gongsun Yan recovered from his state of watching the show. The red Gyarados on the field also became serious, and a gleam of light flashed in its already ferocious eyes.
"Gyarados, get ready to blow up the whole place! Mega evolution!" Gongsun Yan put his hand on the key stone on his wrist and shouted loudly.
“Roar!!!” Gyarados let out a long roar towards the sky, and a dazzling white light burst out from his body.
Chapter 410: One-sided Battle
After Gyarados' body was completely covered by the white light of evolution, its body began to change gradually. First, the fins on its back began to grow continuously, looking like a pair of wings. Its body became thicker and more powerful, and the water lines on both sides of its body turned from white to black. The color of its belly under the body did not change, and its back was still bright red.
Thanks to the change in the rules of this Caiyou Conference, otherwise Gongsun Yan really wouldn't be able to use mega evolution at will. But the effect was obviously very significant. The audience present screamed, and even the commentator on the side was no exception.
To be honest, Gyarados is the first Pokémon to perform mega evolution at the Saiyou Conference. Other players may also have the trick of mega evolution, but no one has revealed this trump card yet.
But it is not a big deal for Gongsun Yan, because he has enough mega stones. If he doesn't let Gyarados have his fun now, it will be difficult for him to play in the next battle, and even if he plays, it will not be his turn to occupy the mega position.
"Shh~, now it's our performance time, Gyarados, Freezefang." Gongsun Yan raised the index finger of his right hand in a very pretentious manner and placed it on his lips. As a result, the audience actually fell for it and cooperated and became quiet.
Just when Gongsun Yan was inadvertently showing off, the red Gyarados, after completing its mega evolution, swam quickly towards the blue Gyarados on the other side of the field. It seemed that it was not affected at all by its rapidly increased size after evolution, and its speed was still as fast as ever.
As the red Gyarados moved, its violent body directly cut two huge waves on the water surface, and actually formed a small wave that hit both sides of the pool. Before the blue Gyarados could dodge, the red Gyarados came to his side, with a cold light flashing on its wide-open mouth, and some crystal ice crystals condensed on it, which looked chilling.
Gongsun Yan, who was standing on the sidelines, saw the red Gyarados riding the wind and waves, and he suddenly felt that there was a divine position in the List of Gods that was quite suitable for him, which was Shen Gongbao's General of Dividing Water. It felt quite appropriate.
Ahem, jokes aside, Gongsun Yan's thoughts were just wandering out of habit. After all, the situation on the field made him unable to imagine how he could be overturned. The red Gyarados's mouth was already close to the blue Gyarados' neck, and the opponent hadn't reacted yet.
A Shui obviously didn't expect that Gongsun Yan's red Gyarados was so fast in the water. Neither he nor the Gyarados had time to react. By the time they reacted and wanted to dodge, it was too late.
"Crench!"
The red Gyarados showed no mercy and bit the blue Gyarados' neck viciously and started biting it.
Suddenly, the blue Gyarados twisted its body in pain, as if trying to shake off the red Gyarados. However, there was a gap in strength between the two. The red Gyarados was still in the mega evolution state, and the blue Gyarados's struggle was completely in vain.
It couldn't even be said to be in vain. As he struggled, the red Gyarados bit deeper and deeper, and the red Gyarados would never let go.
"Gyarados, use Iron Tail to attack the opponent!" A Shui shouted hurriedly.
Suddenly, the bitten blue Gyarados gave up its futile twisting, and while enduring the pain, it raised its tail, which shone with a metallic luster, and slapped the red Gyarados' head.
"Gyarados, pull him into the water!" Gongsun Yan shouted.
Facing the fierce tail of the Blue Gyarados, the Red Gyarados showed no sign of panic. He exerted force with his strong body, and the Blue Gyarados that was bitten by him was completely unable to resist such a powerful force. Not only did the iron tail that he gathered with great pain fail, but he was also slammed heavily into the water by the Red Gyarados.
After stopping the attack of the Blue Gyarados, the Red Gyarados suddenly bent its body, bit the Blue Gyarados' neck and dragged it underwater. Due to the huge power gap between the two, the Blue Gyarados had no power to resist. After struggling for only two times, it was dragged into the water by the Red Gyarados and disappeared.
A moment later, the red Gyarados was the first to emerge from the water. His red shell looked so dazzling under the sunlight. Beauty and power were intertwined together, which was both contradictory and harmonious.
After the red Gyarados rushed out of the water, the blue Gyarados finally reappeared on the water surface. However, unlike the handsome red Gyarados, the blue Gyarados floated to the water surface like a dead fish. The bite mark on his neck that was deep enough to see the bone showed what he had experienced.
If this were a dark Pokémon story, this Gyarados would surely not escape its doom and would probably be carried directly to the ground and buried. However, this book is not that kind of book. In this Pokémon world full of childlike fun, Pokémon will rarely die unless they die of old age.
"Gyarados has lost its ability to fight, Mega Gyarados wins, please ask player Ashui to change Pokémon!" the referee shouted.
"It was a beautiful fight. Gongsun Yan's red Gyarados used its ferocious attack power to make Ashui's Gyarados lose its combat capability with just one move, Frost Fang. Now, Ashui only has two Pokémon left, while Gongsun Yan still has all six Pokémon left. Time is running out for Ashui! What kind of Pokémon will he send out next to turn the tide? Let's wait and see!"
The commentator at the side was still shouting enthusiastically, but everyone could hear that he had already issued a death notice to player A Shui. It was not the commentator's fault, because there has never been such an outrageous record in the history of the League of Legends competition, 0:4. Even a novel would not dare to write like this.
Moreover, if you are three Pokémon behind, there are still a few who can turn the tables, but if you are four Pokémon behind, forget it. Just forget it. The opponent can be dragged down by the tactic of adding fuel alone.
"Huh~, Gyarados, have a good rest." Ah Shui took two deep breaths and calmed his anxious heart a little. This series of blows almost completely shattered his pride. If he didn't take a break, he might need a doctor to come to the sidelines for assistance.
Chapter 411: Battle of Wisdom and Courage with the Air
"Go ahead, I'll leave it to you next, Frog!" A Shui took a Poké Ball from his belt and threw it onto the field.
"Strider, this is going to be a close combat, but I'm sorry, I have to change Pokémon again." Gongsun Yan put Gyarados back into the Poké Ball in a mean way and took out another Poké Ball.
"Swampert, please, show him what close combat is like!"
The burly Swampert stood on the float in the water field, looking at the Frog opposite with a simple look. He looked harmless, but the bulging muscles all over his body showed that Swampert was not as harmless as his appearance.
Originally, Swampert was taller than Frog, and with Gongsun Yan's careful breeding, Swampert can now even look down on Frog. Coupled with Swampert's huge body, it stands in front of Frog like a city wall, and even Swampert's shadow can cover Frog.
"Yo~" Frog involuntarily took two steps back. The oppressive feeling given to him by Swampert was too strong. Although he was considered to be a veteran, he had never encountered such a ferocious opponent.
"Strongfrog, show some courage and use Water Cannon!" Shui discovered that Strongfrog's condition was not right, and quickly used the trainer's universal skill, Show Some Toughness.
However, although this move is a common move, its effect is very significant. The fast-swimming frog, which was originally a little scared, immediately perked up, and a fighting spirit was ignited in its eyes. A thick column of water shot out from the fast-swimming frog's mouth.
"Swampert, let's use water too... No, get out of the way first!" Gongsun Yan was about to shout out "Water Bubbles" when he suddenly thought of a problem. He didn't know what the characteristics of the opponent's fast swimming frog were.
The most common characteristics of the fast-swimming frog are water storage and moisture. If this fast-swimming frog has the water storage characteristic, then as long as he immediately stops the water cannon and turns around to do a belly drum, he will be able to increase his physical attack to the maximum. Although it will not become 7 times the original physical attack as in the game, it is more than enough to quadruple it.
Moreover, the stamina lost due to belly distension can be replenished by using Swampert's Water Cannon move. With only two moves, you can get five levels of amplification for free, which is really a great deal.
Although Gongsun Yan didn't think that the opposing Frog could defeat his Swampert after being amplified, Gongsun Yan would feel uncomfortable if he was taken advantage of by the opponent. Besides, it could also avoid unnecessary twists and turns, so why not do it?
Originally, Gongsun Yan also had a way to distinguish what the characteristics of the fast swimming frog were. If it was a fast swimming frog with the moisture characteristic, a lot of water vapor would appear around the place where the fast swimming frog stood. This phenomenon would not occur with the leisurely swimming characteristic and the water storage characteristic.
However, the battlefield this time was a water field, and the water vapor was almost equivalent to nothing. Even if Gongsun Yan was blinded, he couldn't see any difference, so he had to let Swampert dodge first.
In addition, when Ah Shui gave the order, he was very calm and seemed confident, as if victory in this battle was already in his pocket, without any of the frustrated feeling he had before.
This unusual scene made Gongsun Yan alert, and he decisively chose a roundabout tactic instead of rushing forward to attack. He wanted to see what his opponent was up to.
Fortunately, the one on the field now is Swampert. If it was the hot-tempered Garchomp, it would have rushed up by now. No matter what tactics he used, he would have just conquered the opponent with force.
Although Swampert is very big in size, his agility is obviously not low. He just turned around and dodged the water cannon move of Frogger.
On the other side, Frog did not stop using the water cannon, but kept changing directions to drive away Swampert. Perhaps, in A Shui's opinion, as long as Frog could force Swampert into a corner, it could hit Swampert.
"? Are you looking down on us? Swampert, Arm Hammer!" Gongsun Yan felt inexplicably offended when he saw that Frogman dared to pursue the victory. Not only did the enemy not surrender, but he also dared to fight back against me. It seems that I have to teach my opponent a lesson.
Swampert, who had been dodging continuously, stopped immediately after hearing Gongsun Yan's command, raised his strong right arm, and easily blocked the water cannon of Frogger. Although Swampert was still on the float and could not borrow much force from the ground, it did not retreat a single step.
After receiving the water cannon from Frogger, Swampert did not use his arm hammer immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Gongsun Yan in surprise. His eyes seemed to say, "Such a weak attack, why did I dodge it just now?"
"Ahem, Swampert, stop playing and send your opponent to the battlefield." Gongsun Yan blushed at the look in Swampert's eyes. He really didn't expect that the Frog on the opposite side would be so weak. The strength of the Pokémon in front was obviously quite good, but it was defeated here.
In fact, Gongsun Yan was thinking the wrong way here. Strider is originally a physical attack Pokémon like Swampert. Although it can also use special attack moves such as Water Cannon, the power is obviously not that optimistic. Even if it hits Swampert directly, it should not be a big problem.
"Strider, use Explosive Punch!" Ah Shui saw Swampert running towards him from the water surface carrying Stridator's water cannon. He estimated in his mind and found that Stridator could not get rid of the opponent with Stridator's speed, so he simply let Stridator attack head-on.
This would also be the second wrong order issued by A Shui today. The first mistake was naturally provoking King Serpent to attack in anger. The Frog, which had condensed its explosive fist, was vulnerable to Swampert's arm hammer and was easily knocked away.
"boom!"
The fist of Frog and Swampert's arm hammer only touched for less than two seconds before Frog flew backwards, whooshed past A Shui, and slammed hard into the wall at the edge of the battlefield. The audience seats were located above the wall, and the audience sitting in that area felt a vibration under their buttocks, which showed how ruthless Swampert was.
"Quick Swim Frog, stand up quickly!" Ah Shui shouted the name of Quick Swim Frog anxiously. There was a stipulation in the rules of the Caiyou Conference that being knocked out of the field by the opponent was not considered a failure, but if one did not return to the field within the specified time, he would be judged as a loser, which was similar to the restrictions on digging holes.
After hearing his trainer's shouting, Frog struggled to get up from the ground, but he was ultimately unable to hold on and fell to the ground, losing his ability to fight. The countdown on the side hadn't even finished yet and he was no longer needed.
"Strider has lost its ability to fight, Swampert wins, please ask contestant A Shui to change Pokémon!" the referee on the side shouted loudly.
"No, is this the end? Where's the back-up plan? Where's the trap? Is it okay to be killed in one move? Doesn't this make my previous actions seem stupid?" Gongsun Yan almost popped his eyes out. He had been thinking about a fierce fight between dragons and tigers, but he was still thinking about all those nonsense, which was completely useless.
This was not the most uncomfortable thing for Gongsun Yan. After the battle, Gongsun Yan specifically asked about the characteristics of the fast-swimming frog sent by A Shui. As a result, two big splatters of moisture hit his face, which made him unable to recover for a long time.
There was no ambush from the beginning to the end. Ah Shui was just purely reckless and did not think of any tactics at all. He already knew in his heart that his journey to the Caiyou Conference was over, so he just started fighting randomly, doing whatever made him happy and leaving no regrets.
As a result, Gongsun Yan was misled by himself. Although his side had the advantage, he subconsciously restrained his hands and feet and fought timidly, without any of the domineering spirit he had in the previous battles.
"Player Gongsun Yan has won another victory. Now, player A Shui only has one Pokémon left and is at an absolute disadvantage. However, we believe that player A Shui's last Pokémon will be able to bring us a wonderful battle. Let us wait and see!" the commentator shouted.
Chapter 412 Mega Hippo
"Come out, stupid hippo!" A Shui solemnly took out a Poké Ball from his pocket and released the Pokémon inside.
"Stupid Hippo, what a waste of Pokémon and the evolution method of Pokémon's talents!" Gongsun Yan said regretfully as he looked at the stupid Hippo in front of him.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan has always felt that the evolution method of Slowpoke and his family is a waste of Shellder's potential. You know, Shellder's evolved form, Metapod, has a race value of 525. A Pokémon with this race value is a potential stock worth cultivating for any trainer.
However, the evolved forms of Slowpoke are different. Both Slowpoke and Hippopotamus have a racial value of only 490 points, which is neither better than the best nor worse than the worst, and they are in a very embarrassing position.
The difference between Hippo King and Stupid Hippo is that Hippo King focuses more on special defense, while Stupid Hippo focuses more on defense. In terms of IQ, Hippo King is much smarter than Stupid Hippo, so the difficulty of training the two can be said to be a world of difference. In short, most trainers who train Stupid Hippo are living a life worse than death.
However, relatively speaking, maybe the current Hippopotamus will be more difficult to deal with? After all, under the influence of Gongsun Yan, mega evolution appeared in the public eye two years earlier, and Hippopotamus can naturally mega evolve, but even if Hippopotamus completes mega evolution, the racial value is only 590, which is not too high.
The Galar region's Slow Hippo is a good opponent. Under the influence of the spices in its body, the Galar region's Slow Hippo has become a poison and psychic Pokémon. And under the influence of stimulating substances in its body, the Galar region's Slow Hippo not only gets rid of its silly temperament, but has become a famous quick shooter.
Of course, Gongsun Yan believed that A Shui definitely did not have the mega evolution stone of Hippopotamus. The main reason was that he had seen the visitor list of Devon Company before, and Kona's name was prominently listed on it. Her purpose was also very clear, which was to get the mega stone of Hippopotamus.
Even Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, failed to obtain the mega stone of Hippopotamus, let alone the top four of the “mere” Quartz Conference?
However, Gongsun Yan was slapped in the face a while later. Just after he casually threw his last Poké Ball and released the King of Leave who had been waiting (sleeping) for a long time, A Shui's voice came over.
"Stupid Hippo, mega evolution!" Ah Shui suddenly took out a necklace from inside his clothes, and pressed his hand hard on the bead at the end of the necklace. It turned out to be a key stone.
"What?!" Not only Gongsun Yan was shocked by this development, even the commentator on the side was stunned. His tone was as confused as possible. They simply couldn't believe their eyes. What did they see!
However, the pace of evolution obviously will not stop. Just when Gongsun Yan was doubting his life, a dazzling white light flashed on the body of the Hippopotamus on the field. In the white light, the conch on the Hippopotamus' tail quickly grew larger and turned into a large conch, which just fit the Hippopotamus' body, but left its tail exposed. It looked very weird, and there were two holes on both sides of the conch, which just allowed the Hippopotamus's two claws to be exposed.
Looking at the mega evolved Slowpoke, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but frowned. After Slowpoke's mega evolution, its special attack and defense will be greatly improved. The Absence King he sent out is just a typical physical attack Pokémon. With Slowpoke's current body covered in a conch, the power of Absence King will be reduced to a terrifyingly low level.
"You didn't expect it, did you? Ever since the news of the mega evolution came out, the first thing I remembered was when I captured Slowpoke when it was still Slowpoke, he was carrying such a bead, and it happened to be Slowpoke's mega stone. I didn't plan to expose it so early, but I can't go any further. In this case, why don't I fight to my heart's content!" A Shui shouted with high fighting spirit.
"Stupid Hippo, use your telekinesis!"
"Stay~"
Although Ah Shui was giving a passionate speech there, the silly hippo didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He didn't use his moves very quickly, but was obviously a little dazed. It was estimated that his brain with a problem of IQ was still thinking about what Ah Shui's order meant.
Seeing this scene, Ah Shui couldn't help but feel helpless, and couldn't help thinking, "The stupid hippo really has an intellectual problem. Fortunately, I put him near the floating board, so that he can use the floating board to block the attack. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't know how I lost."
Fortunately, water-type Pokémon usually don't drown, otherwise Ah Shui would have to wonder if he put the Hippopotamus directly into the pool and the Hippopotamus would lose its combat ability due to drowning.
To be honest, if Gongsun Yan didn't know about the existence of Xiaoxia's Psyduck, he would never have believed that there was a water-type Pokémon that couldn't swim. Shouldn't this be something like instinct, just like a baby needs to drink milk when it is born, it will naturally suck it in, instead of blowing it out after finding the right position.
Seeing that the stupid hippopotamus was still in a daze, Gongsun Yan naturally would not give up such a good opportunity, and immediately ordered the King of Leave, "King of Leave, use the arm hammer!"
"Kang Jin!"
When the King of Leave is not slacking off, his speed is obviously much faster than that of the Silly Hippo. In addition, after the mega evolution, the Silly Hippo directly hid its legs, which almost reduced its mobility to a negative number. It is good enough for it to not fall down, and normal movement is out of the question.
In just a moment, the King of Leave rushed to the side of the Silly Hippo, raised his right arm high, aimed at the exposed head of the Silly Hippo, and smashed it down with an arm hammer.
At the moment when the attack was about to happen, the Hippopotamus's dementia-like brain finally reacted and realized that he was now on the playing field. The Hippopotamus's eyes immediately lit up with a blue light, and his telekinesis was ready to explode.
To be honest, in the current situation, it is obviously very difficult for the stupid hippo to block this arm hammer. One is ready to attack, and the other is counterattacking hastily. No matter which side gave the order first, this is the situation on the field now.
Although the silly hippopotamus looked stupid, he had biological instincts. He did not try to block the attack of the King of Leave by telekinesis, but simply slowed down the King of Leave's movements. Then he decisively retracted into his shell and blocked the King of Leave's arm hammer with his solid shell.
Chapter 413 Gongsun Yan, damn it!
"clang!"
It was clearly the collision of protein and the stratum corneum, but a sound similar to that of metal collision was heard. This shows how strong the layer of conch on the outside of the Mega Hippopotamus is.
