"Well, there are so many dragons. Let me see what new moves you have learned."
Because there are so many moves that Duolongqi can learn, Gongsun Yan doesn't know what moves Duolongqi has learned after his evolution, so he can only let Duolongqi show it himself.
"strange!"
After hearing Gongsun Yan's order, Duolongqi let out a long roar, and a strong dragon energy condensed in his mouth. After a few seconds of condensation, he spit it towards the vine monster.
"Oh? Dragon Wave, that's enough. This move is enough. We have won this battle."
After seeing the Dragon's Wave, Gongsun Yan's eyes lit up instantly. The reason why the vine monster was so arrogant before was because Duolong Messiah did not have long-range attack moves. Now that Duolong Messiah has the Dragon's Wave, the vine monster has no chance.
After learning the Dragon Wave, Gongsun Yan felt that it was worth the price of admission. However, Duolongqi brought more surprises to Gongsun Yan. Before the Dragon Wave was fully released, Duolongqi's body was covered with thick dragon energy.
"Wow, the Dragon God is swooping down? This is totally worth it."
Gongsun Yan immediately smiled happily. Dragon God Dive can be said to be the strongest dragon-type move that Duolongqi can learn. Its compatibility with Duolongqi is even better than Dragon Star Swarm. It is really suitable for Duolongqi.
Facing Duolongqi attacking him, the vine monster directly mobilized the vines all over its body to block Duolongqi's path, trying to block Duolongqi's attack.
Logically speaking, there is actually no big problem with the vine monster's response, and it can even be said to be a very routine block. However, in Gongsun Yan's opinion, the vine monster's current behavior can be described in four words, that is, trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm and overestimating one's own capabilities.
ps: Today might be a bad day. I have been watching the live broadcast for several hours. Although I know this will be the result, I still can't accept it. It was very painful when I was coding this chapter. Let me take a break.
Chapter 86: Penetration and No Defense
(Sure enough, the guilt of not updating drove me to type out the second chapter. It turns out that humans all need some encouragement.)
After seeing the vines blocking his way, Duolongqi showed a slightly sarcastic expression and even wanted to laugh.
Oh, there is one thing I forgot to mention. Gongsun Yan’s Dolon has the penetrating attribute. In the game, the penetrating attribute is often paired with various long-range moves, but in the Pokémon world, it is also suitable for use in close combat.
[Pokémon with this characteristic are not affected by the opponent's reflection wall, light wall, mysterious protection, white fog, substitute and aurora curtain status. 】
[If the move used is transformation or free fall, it still cannot penetrate the avatar. 】
These two sentences are the explanation of penetration moves in the game, but in the real Pokémon world, penetration moves are not so simple to explain.
Just like Pikachu's static electricity characteristic, you can actually choose whether to activate it based on Pikachu's personal will. This shows how different the characteristics in the game are from those in reality.
Facing the vines blocking the way, Duolongqi smiled slightly and actually bumped into them without dodging. This made the vine monster a little confused. Is this what it means to wait for the dragon while guarding the vines?
However, it was obvious that the vine monster was overthinking. How could Duolongqi walk into a trap? If he dared to rush forward like this, he would either be a fool or fearless. Duolongqi was naturally the fearless one.
Duolongqi's figure suddenly became illusory, and the vines blocking his way were useless, just like a piece of torn paper, which was easily punctured, and the broken vines fell weakly to the ground.
Duolongqi rushed straight towards the vine monster. The phantom of the dragon shrouding him continued to enlarge in the eyes of the vine monster, and finally hit the vine monster.
"boom!"
After the violent explosion, the vine monster fell into a deep pit, with circular eyes appearing on it. Only one tenth of the vines on its body remained, and broken vines were scattered around the pit. It looked as miserable as it could be.
Doronchi floated beside the vine monster, his face full of pride. The opponent who had been blocking him like a mountain before had been defeated by him. This feeling was more refreshing than drinking a glass of ice-cold soda in the middle of summer.
"How is it possible that the vine monster's whip has no effect at all? Wait, could it be that it has a penetrating property?!"
Lijia was obviously shocked by the scene just now. She didn't even take back the Vine Monster immediately. It was not until she screamed that she remembered and hurriedly put the Vine Monster back into the Poké Ball.
The reason why Lika knew about the penetrating characteristic was actually by chance. She was a gym trainer of a Grass-type gym and had once encountered a Kameka with a hidden characteristic. That’s why she became careful and remembered this extremely special characteristic.
It is not easy to encounter a Pokémon with hidden characteristics in the game, and it is even more difficult in reality. It is a one in a million existence.
To give a simple example, there are countless Beedrills living in the Evergreen Forest, but there are less than a hundred Beedrills with the Sniper trait, which shows how rare the hidden trait is.
As for Pokémon like Sylphy that treat the penetration attribute as a normal attribute, they are rarely found in the Kanto region. After all, there is the Sinnoh region between the Kanto region and the Unova region.
"Yes, it's the penetrating property." Gongsun Yan acted like a fox who had stolen a chicken, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
When Gongsun Yan just conquered Dragon Messiah, after learning that his characteristic was penetration, he subconsciously planned to cultivate Dragon Messiah according to the moves in the game of his previous life.
Until one day, when he saw the stone pillars formed when Doronesia passed through Swampert's magic practice ground, he realized that something was wrong and dug deep into the characteristics of the penetrating property.
Then Gongsun Yan discovered that even if it was not a barrier-type move such as a light wall or a reflective wall, Doron Messiah could still activate his own penetrating properties and penetrate through it.
And in Gongsun Yan's experiment, he found that no matter whether it was an energy-based move or a physical-based move, Doron Messiah was not afraid of it and passed through them all, which made Gongsun Yan exclaim in admiration.
However, such a powerful feature must have flaws, otherwise how can it maintain balance?
The penetrating feature can only penetrate "moves". If it is not a move, no matter how Doron Messiah activates the penetrating feature, it will not be able to penetrate.
So what is the definition of a move? It is actually very simple. Let’s take the vine monster as an example. This way everyone can understand it more easily. At the beginning of the battle, Doron Messiah attacked the vine monster with Lightning Flash, but the penetrating feature was not triggered. The damage can only be described as scraping.
Later, when the vine monster was using its vine whip to block Duolongqi's Dragon God Dive, it was interrupted so cleanly. In fact, this was not because Duolongqi's strength became stronger due to evolution, or because the Dragon God Dive move was more powerful or something, it was entirely because the penetrating property was triggered.
The gap between these two is huge. Obviously, what were blocked both times were the vines on the vine monster, but the difference is so big. This is the influence of the penetration characteristic.
At the beginning, the vines on the vine monster were only a part of his body, and the vine whip was used by another part of the vines, so that part of the vines was counted as the body of the vine monster, and Doron Messiah failed to trigger the penetration feature.
The vines that blocked Doronchi's way afterwards were actually the whip techniques used by the vine monster, so they were completely defeated by the penetrating characteristics and had no blocking effect at all.
This is the difference between moves and non-moves. To put it simply, the use of any move requires the infusion of energy of the corresponding attribute. The vine whip used by the vine monster has grass energy, and the Dragon God Dive used by Duolongqi is full of dragon energy. The penetrating characteristic is specifically aimed at this attribute energy.
In other words, when facing a Pokémon with the penetrating property, unless you rely on your own agility to dodge it, or use moves such as flying and digging holes to evade, any defense will be easily penetrated and will not have any blocking effect at all.
It sounds similar to the no-defense trait, but there is actually a big difference. The attacks launched by Pokémon with the penetration trait can be dodged, while the attacks launched by Pokémon with the no-defense trait will definitely hit. As long as you are within its judgment range, don't even think about escaping.
However, Pokémon without the defensive attribute cannot break through moves such as Light Wall, Reflect Wall, and Protect, which is the opposite of the Penetration attribute.
Both of these characteristics have their own advantages and disadvantages, but both are excellent characteristics.
Chapter 87: Lijia's trump card, Stinky Flower
Before the discovery of the Dragon Messiah, the penetration characteristic had never been taken seriously. Although its effect was excellent, no Pokémon could fully utilize it.
Look at those Pokémon with penetrating properties. None of them can fly like the Dragonmesia family, and they have a streamlined body, which takes the ability of breaking through the surface with a point to the extreme.
With the help of the penetrating property, as long as Duolongqi's speed is fast enough, the kinetic energy generated will be large enough that almost no defense can stop it.
However, although Duolongqi was showing domineering performance on the court just now, after that brief highlight moment, Duolongqi couldn't help but relax. When he relaxed, some things that he deliberately ignored came to his mind.
"He's really only handsome for three seconds, but never mind, at least he defeated me, so it's worth the money."
Gongsun Yan looked at Dolonchi who was frantically looking for something to put on his head on the field, and suddenly felt angry and amused. He could only take it back and keep it in the Poké Ball, which could barely calm him down. However, it was only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. He had to quickly find a Dolonchi Messiah and put it on Dolonchi's head.
The next Pokémon released by Gongsun Yan and Lijia were Chamela and Venusaur. This battle could only be described as boring from beginning to end. No matter how many attacks Venusaur launched, it could not break Chamela's hard shell. When it finally left the stage, it was questioning its life.
There's no way. Everyone is relatively familiar with the Pokémon Venusaur. Kojiro once had one... well, actually it should be considered two Venusaur. The Venusaur that was exchanged with the profiteer uncle quickly evolved into Venusaur.
The Pokémon Venusaur can be considered a nightmare for small and medium-sized Pokémon. Once they are attracted by the nectar-scented liquid in Venusaur's mouth, they will most likely become Venusaur's next meal.
Once eaten by Venusfiend, it is almost impossible for small and medium-sized Pokémon to escape. The liquid with a nectar-like aroma is actually a solvent that can dissolve everything. No matter how hard the object is, it will be dissolved without leaving any trace.
Therefore, any small or medium-sized Pokémon within the hunting range of VenusFly will naturally be weaker when fighting against VenusFly. If it is caught by VenusFly by accident, it is better to just use GG.
There is no way to escape, no matter if you are a powerful dragon-type Pokémon or a hard rock-type or steel-type Pokémon. In a large amount of solvent, don't even think about resisting.
But everything in the world is balanced. Da Shihua has the strength to kill almost all small and medium-sized Pokémon, which means that he is very weak when facing those large Pokémon.
And considering the size of Nian Meir... let's observe two minutes of silence for the Venus flytrap. Anyway, he will definitely not be happy when he sees that huge figure.
In this battle, Nian Meir perfectly demonstrated what it means to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. Facing the attack of the Venus flytrap, he simply shrank into his shell and allowed the Venus flytrap to attack him.
Then began Venusaur's nightmare journey. From energy balls to solar flares, Venusaur even used his ultimate move, Ultimate Impact, which he was not yet proficient in. In the end, he gained nothing except a little charred mark on Slimy Beauty's shell.
Even Venusfair itself was made dizzy by the recoil after rashly using the Ultimate Impact to hit Slimy Beauty's shell, and it almost vomited out the dissolving liquid in its body.
Speaking of dissolving liquid, Venusfly also tried to use the dissolving liquid to corrode the shell of Slimy Beauty. It was quite effective at first, which made Lika and Venusfly very excited.
But after careful consideration, Lika and Venus flytrap discovered a very sad fact, that is, with Slimy Meir's size and the thickness of its shell, even if Venus flytrap spit out all the dissolving liquid in its stomach, it would not be able to melt a hole to launch an attack.
During this time, Venusflower had thought about launching an attack from the hole where Nian Meir entered and exited, but just as he approached there and had not yet fully exposed his head, a wave of dragon power hit him. If Venusflower had not dodged in time, he would have definitely suffered the consequences.
Anyway, Venus flytrap tried various different moves, but they were all blocked by Nian Meir, and then it was easily taken down by Nian Meir who was well-rested.
Seeing that Venusflower had fallen, Rika released her last trump card, which was also her favorite Pokémon, Vileplume.
The Pokémon like Smellyflower was not misnamed, it really stinks. Even if it had just jumped out of the Poké Ball, the unique stench filled the entire battlefield, making Gongsun Yan's eyebrows twitch involuntarily.
The origin of all these stinky smells actually comes from the sticky, saliva-like nectar at the mouth of the stinky flower. It is recorded in the illustrated book that although this nectar is very sweet, it is extremely smelly and makes it difficult for people to get close to it.
Honestly speaking, Gongsun Yan still doesn't dare to imagine what the person who provided this information did. He is afraid that he will draw some conclusions that will destroy his worldview. People can't, or at least shouldn't, do that.
In addition, all the perfumes in the perfume shop under the Yuhong Gym have added the nectar of the stinking flower, but the nectar has been diluted countless times. At this time, the nectar is not only not smelly, but also extremely pleasant.
In fact, many things that smell very bad will disappear and turn into a sweet scent once they are diluted several times. This is because human olfactory organs are not that sensitive and cannot distinguish such complex scents.
However, there are also people with extraordinary talents. Although the nectar of the stinking flower smells very bad, there are still one in a thousand people who like to smell it. Gongsun Yan did not comment on this. After all, he is not one of those people with extraordinary talents.
But this is just a human feeling. In the wild, many insect-type Pokémon like to stay around smelly flowers. Their ability to tolerate stinky smells is far greater than that of humans, and their love for nectar is also far greater than that of humans.
However, there was one thing that made Gongsun Yan very strange. Even in this short observation, he could find that this stinking flower had reached a bottleneck period, and it should have been for some time. What needed to be consolidated had already been consolidated.
Even if you randomly pull a trainer over on the street, he will know that it is time to find a way to evolve Skank. Otherwise, even if Skank's strength can still increase, it will be very slow. With Rika's knowledge, it is impossible that he doesn't know this, right?
Chapter 88: I wish everyone a happy Chinese Valentine's Day!
However, even though Gongsun Yan's heart was full of doubts, the battle would not wait for anyone. The referee on the side had already announced the start of the battle. He could only hide his doubts deep in his heart and shift his attention to the battle.
"Nianmei'er, Dragon Wave!"
Because Nian Meir was unusually high in morale today, Gongsun Yan did not replace her, but let her continue to fight on the court. Then Gongsun Yan used his usual long-range moves to test her.
"Stinky Flower, get out of the way!"
As Vileplume was Lil's favorite Pokémon, it naturally wouldn't be hit by this tentative attack. Vileplume just took a few steps and dodged the dragon's wave.
Moreover, Nian Meir's turning speed could not keep up with the movement speed of Vileplume. The distance between Dragon Wave and Vileplume was getting bigger and bigger. Gongsun Yan had to let Nian Meir stop using Dragon Wave to save some energy.
Although Nian Meir, who possesses the lord template, never lacks physical strength, Gongsun Yan is still accustomed to saving it, for fear that some unexpected situation may occur in the future, so he tries to save some physical strength for emergency use.
But soon, Gongsun Yan felt like a fool. Why bother thinking about so many useless things? He just took out a mask from his backpack to protect his own life.
As for Nian Meir, he was now lying on the ground, twitching and foaming at the mouth. It was obvious that he was about to die. He looked no different from a dead dragon.
So what happened? It's simple. Because of the attack by Nian Mei'er, the stinky flower felt dangerous and became very angry. The already strong smell became even worse.
Not only that, this Smelly Flower is obviously not a good-tempered Pokémon. She even secretly increased the amount of pollen released. Gongsun Yan could actually observe the pollen all over the sky with the naked eye. It can be seen how much pollen Smelly Flower released. It is completely a lethal amount!
Lijia and the referee on the side had obviously anticipated this situation and had been prepared. They even learned the extremely brutal move of changing clothes with one click. Gongsun Yan was only slightly distracted, and they had already changed into a full set of epidemic prevention clothing. They were so well prepared.
"Ahem, next to where you are standing, the box contains the protective clothing. You can put it on."
The referee was more humane. While Lijia was still gloating over Gongsun Yan's miserable appearance, she quietly reminded Gongsun Yan.
"Thank you very much. Miss, you are beautiful and kind. You are not like some people in high positions who look harmless but turn out to be black when cut open."
At the young lady's suggestion, Gongsun Yan hurriedly took out a set of anti-epidemic clothing from a box beside him and put it on as quickly as possible, making a sarcastic remark about Lijia while putting it on.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, the referee blushed immediately. She thought to herself that this little boy was not only handsome, but also spoke so nicely. It was a pity that he already had a girlfriend and could not be taken away.
Well, Gongsun Yan obviously hasn't realized one thing, that is, boys must protect themselves when they are outside, otherwise they might be targeted by strange people one day.
However, Lijia's performance was different from that of the referee. After all, Gongsun Yan had just made a subtle remark to her. With her temper, how could she possibly look at Gongsun Yan in a good light?
But Gongsun Yan's expression just now was so distorted and funny that Lijia felt a little embarrassed, so she just threw a pair of sanitary balls to Gongsun Yan and said nothing else.
"Ahem, um, Slimyme has lost her ability to fight, Skank has won, challenger, please release your next Pokémon."
The referee imagined in his mind the scene of unhealthy things happening after Gongsun Yan was kidnapped, and then he felt that he was a little unsteady on his feet. He quickly adjusted his mood and read out the result of the game.
"Qikexiu, Nian Meier, come back, we will always remember your efforts!"
Gongsun Yan took out the Poké Ball with a distorted expression, took Nian Meir back, and praised him for his efforts.
As for why Gongsun Yan’s face was distorted, he was clearly wearing anti-epidemic clothing, wasn’t he?
In fact, the truth is very simple. Although the stench emitted from the stinky flower before also came from its stamens and pollen, now the stinky flower has spread its pollen all over the battlefield.
The smell of stink flower pollen is simply indescribable. If I had to describe it, it would probably be a mixture of old sneakers, garbage, rotten eggs and skunk smoke.
This fishy smell smells very bad. Every year, trainers encounter stink flowers in the wild and anger them intentionally or unintentionally. They then suffer a devastating blow and have to be sent to the Pokémon Center. first aid.
Each of these rescued trainers had very serious psychological problems and required long-term psychological treatment. Many even couldn't stand the blow and quit the ranks of trainers.
It can be seen that the terrifying degree of this pollen is similar to the whisper of the ancient gods, and the devastation it causes to people's body and mind is simply beyond description in words.
Pollen can get on clothes and even the skin. When Gongsun Yan put on the protective suit, he was completely trapped inside, which provided conditions for the stench to ferment. It was so sour...
Gongsun Yan's expression is just distorted now, but it is actually a manifestation of his strong will, otherwise he, as a trainer, might have fallen first.
And because Vileflower knew that this was a gym challenge, she restrained herself a little and only hovered around the limit of what the human body could endure. Otherwise, the Yuhong Gym would have been subject to a surprise inspection by Inspector Gongsun Yan.
"My goodness, I've heard that the Yuhong Gym is difficult, but I didn't expect it to be this difficult. Can't you just be a human being?" Gongsun Yan's eyes had changed.
