The reason why Scaled Dragon's Dragon Dance can trigger Arcanine's Dragon Wave is entirely because Dragon Wave is a dragon-type move.
But if it comes to fire-type moves like Big Character Explosion, Scaled Dragon will be helpless.
Because of the advantage of the venue, after stopping the dragon's wave, Windy Dog condensed a large word of explosion in an instant, which can be said to be a seamless switch.
The Armored Dragon had just finished its Dragon Dance, and faced with the subsequent huge explosion of fire, it was too late to dodge.
The move "Big Character Explosion" is powerful, has a wide range, and even moves very quickly. It can be said to be a perfect fire-type move.
The only flaw, the long concentration time, was compensated by the volcanic terrain. Facing such a move, if the Scaled Dragon was hit by all of them, the battle would be almost over.
"Scaled Dragon, reverse scale, then use Scale Shot!"
Gongsun Yan also discovered that the Scaled Dragon was in no condition to dodge this huge explosion of fire, so he decisively chose to explode.
"Qiang Qiang!"
The armored dragon slowly raised his head, countless bloodshot veins spread in his eyes, and the last trace of clarity disappeared.
As the armored dragon moved, the red-burned scales on his body began to clang and gradually fell off the armored dragon's body.
"Shhhhhh!"
"boom!"
Before the huge blast hit the Armored Dragon, the Armored Dragon successfully launched all the scales on its body. The dense scales penetrated the huge blast and shot towards the Windy Dog.
What followed was the usual big explosion, and after the explosion a large cloud of smoke was produced, covering the entire battlefield.
"Well, it seems that the final result is still hard to say."
Looking at the smoke that obscured his vision, Gongsun Yan immediately understood that neither Windy nor Dragonite would fall until the smoke dissipated.
After all, similar plots have appeared countless times, it's the law of "no harm in the smoke".
Sure enough, after the smoke cleared, Scutum and Arcanine were both standing on the field, although they both looked miserable.
Needless to say, the Armored Dragon has lost its scales countless times and has been burned by the scorching flames. Now its entire body is glowing a strange red light, and it is likely to suffer from first-degree burns.
The Windspeed on the other side was not in a much better condition. His orange fur was dyed red by the oozing blood, and countless scales were embedded in his body, as if he had been hit head-on by a shotgun.
Chapter 243: Duolongqi vs. Lava Snail
"Hoo~ (If you can't hold on, stop holding on. Look, your legs are shaking.)"
"Woof~ (Same here, you're almost falling down too. If it weren't for your tail supporting you, you would have fallen down.)"
The above content is all Gongsun Yan’s imagination. Of course, he can’t understand the language of these two Pokémon, but given the current occasion and atmosphere, the meaning must be roughly the same.
After the previous confrontation, neither Arcanine nor Scaled Dragon had the energy to launch the next move.
In other words, the health bars of both sides have been depleted, and now they can only rely on their strength to hold on and see who falls first.
With the knowledge of Gongsun Yan and Xia Bo, they naturally noticed this and knew that they must not make any sound to disturb Scutum and Arcanine at this time.
Now, even the slightest external interference may change the final outcome, so the two trainers will certainly not hold their Pokémon back.
Now, not only did the two of them not dare to speak, they didn't even dare to breathe, and they looked at their own Pokémon nervously.
"Gah!"
Suddenly, the body of the Armored Dragon shook and slowly fell to the right, as if it had reached its limit.
"Woo~"
After seeing the Ankylosaurus start to fall, a happy smile appeared on Windy's face, and his body also fell to the side.
As a result, when Windy Dog slowly fell down and was about to fall into coma, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the Armored Dragon. He suddenly found that the Armored Dragon's eyes did not turn into circles, but instead revealed a hint of cunning.
"boom!"
The Armored Dragon, which was originally falling slowly, suddenly swung out its right arm and slammed it hard on the ground.
With the help of the recoil force, the Armored Dragon stood firm again. Although this state only lasted for a few seconds, the Armored Dragon soon fell down again.
But in just a few seconds, the outcome of the battle changed dramatically.
Although Windy Dog saw that Scaled Dragon had a trick up his sleeve at the last moment, it was not so easy to gather his scattered spirit again. In the end, he could only fall to the ground unwillingly and lost his ability to fight.
"Arcane, you've done your best. Come back and have a good rest... Good tactics."
Xia Bo raised his hand to put Windy back into the Poké Ball, and then wanted to praise Gongsun Yan for his performance, but he was obviously impressed by the last move of Armored Dragon.
In addition, fire-type trainers are usually as hot-tempered as fire. They advocate frontal combat and generally dislike those who rely on clever tricks to win.
This is also fortunate that Xia Bo has become much more restrained now, otherwise, if it were his previous personality, he would probably have started cursing now.
To sum up, Xia Bo could only say in a nonchalant way that the tactics were good, and he did not make any other comments.
However, excluding personal factors, Xia Bo really felt that the move made by the Armored Dragon was really beautiful. First, he showed weakness to the enemy, and then made the final decision.
"Armored Dragon, come back. You performed very well. Victory belongs to you."
Gongsun Yan took the Armored Dragon back, put his mouth close to the Armored Dragon's Poké Ball, and praised the Armored Dragon's performance.
As for why I didn't speak louder, it was mainly because I was afraid of being beaten. After all, this is Xia Bo's home court, so I should show him a little respect.
"Okay, enough compliments, the next person I'm going to send out is you, come out, lava snail!"
Xia Bo waved his right hand violently and shouted towards the lava flowing beside him.
"Lava snail? That's right. Lava snails like to live in volcanic areas. It's normal to have lava snails on Honglian Volcano."
When Gongsun Yan first heard the name of the lava snail, he was a little confused. The name of the lava snail was not included in the information he had previously learned about Xia Bo.
But Gongsun Yan changed his mind and realized that this is the Pokémon world, so why bother with so many things?
However, an embarrassing situation occurred. Xia Bo had been maintaining his current action for almost a minute, and Gongsun Yan had been waiting with eyes wide open for almost a minute, but the lava snail still did not appear.
"Ahem, please wait a moment. Lava Snail is a little slow. I told him yesterday that we would have a battle today, and he would definitely be there."
As the atmosphere became gradually awkward, Xia Bo's face became a little embarrassed and he explained to Gongsun Yan in a low voice.
Gongsun Yan said that he understood. After all, snail-type Pokémon are generally not very fast, and the same is true for the Slimy Meow in his hand.
But there was one thing he couldn't figure out. Since Xia Bo knew that the lava snail was slow, why didn't he just put the lava snail into the Poké Ball?
Gongsun Yan said that he didn't know either, and he didn't dare to ask, so in the end he could only continue in this strange silence.
Another minute passed, and a Pokémon covered in flames slowly crawled out of the lava and moved in front of Xia Bo like an old man.
"...Ahem, Doronchi, I'll leave this battle to you!"
Seeing that the Lava Snail was finally in place, Gongsun Yan was the first to break the silence, threw out the Dragonite's Poké Ball, and restarted the battle.
"Dronkey? I haven't seen this Pokémon before, but it looks like a ghost-type Pokémon. This place is not friendly to ghost-type Pokémon. Lava Snail, let's say hello first. Use Flamethrower."
According to the battle rules, Xia Bo released the Pokémon first, so he naturally got the right to attack first. He also unceremoniously commanded the Lava Snail to launch the attack.
"Dorongqi, use the sneak attack!"
Gongsun Yan's Duolongqi is more proficient in physical attack techniques, so he naturally would not use his own weakness to attack the enemy's strength.
After hearing Gongsun Yan's instructions, Duolongqi directly hid in the shadow on the ground and moved rapidly towards the direction of the lava snail.
"That's it, Lava Snail, use the flames to fight that moving shadow on the ground!"
Xia Bo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately ordered the lava snail to change the target of its flame spray.
Gongsun Yan finally realized what Xia Bo meant by what he said before.
The magma itself would release light, especially the current battlefield, which could be said to be completely illuminated. Except for the four people present, there was not a single extra shadow.
As a result, Duolongqi could no longer use the shadows on the field to conceal his actions, and his every move was completely exposed to Xia Bo.
Although the lava snail moved slowly, its speed of attacking and turning was not slow at all. The jet of flame directly hit the moving shadow.
Important Notice
The author will update the article irregularly within one month from today. After all, the postgraduate entrance examination has reached the final sprint stage and I must concentrate. After the examination, I may resume updating twice a day.
There is one more thing, this book will not be terminated. I have already conceived the ending plot, and the book itself has reached the final stage, so how could it be terminated? I am a reader who loves novels, and I hate authors who terminate their books the most. I will try my best not to become one of them.
Perfect, I started to feel dizzy and have a fever today
As the title says, today is the first day of the postgraduate entrance examination. I didn’t feel anything in the morning on the political exam, but I bombed on the English exam in the afternoon. I misread a word twice. I had no idea what I was writing and I didn’t know if I could pass the national line. Damn it!
I don't know if I can pass the two most important subjects tomorrow, let alone the scores. If I can't pass the national standard for English, it's useless to do well in the other two subjects. It's just a waste of a year.
Chapter 244: Art is Explosion
The scorching flames bombarded the ground, and the shadow that Duolongqi transformed into was naturally shrouded in it. Duolongqi, who could not stand the high temperature, was immediately beaten back to his original form.
"Woo~"
It was bad enough for Duolongqi to be caught, but as luck would have it, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. Several flames appeared on Duolongqi's body.
Doronchi fell into a state of burns.
"Duolongqi!" Gongsun Yan also shouted when he saw this.
In the past, Doronqi always lurked in various dark places, and there were always many shadows on the field for him to hide. This was the first time that he was beaten out of the shadows by his opponent, and it did look a bit miserable.
"Hahaha, your combat experience is still too low, Lava Snail, spray flames again!"
Xia Bo laughed loudly and commanded the lava snail to continue attacking Doronqi.
"Really? I don't think so, Doronchi, scare!"
"what?"
Gongsun Yan showed a weird smile when he saw this. His back-up plan had not been launched yet. Did you really think he was so naive?
After hearing Xia Bo's command, flames had clearly condensed in the air above the lava snail, but the shadow under him suddenly fluctuated, and a dragon Messiah poked its head out from it.
The lava snail obviously didn't notice when a Doron Messiah appeared in its shadow. It was so frightened that the jet of flame from its mouth immediately lost its aim and passed by Doronchi.
This Dolong Messiah was naturally the one on Dolongqi's head. The reason why Dolongqi was able to break away from the shadow state so easily just now was actually to create an opportunity for Dolong Messiah.
Although Doronyx and Doronesia on his head can be put into the same Poké Ball, it proves that they are considered to be the same individual.
But this doesn't mean that the two of them can't be separated.
The illustration also states that Doronaki will fight with Doron Messiah. Isn't this the best embodiment of fighting together?
In the end, Xia Bo suffered from his lack of understanding of Pokémon like Dragonite. He didn't even notice that something was missing from the head of the Dragonite that was defeated before.
"As expected of the runner-up of the Caiyou Conference, you have made perfect use of all the advantages of Pokémon. Unfortunately, I still have the advantage now."
After seeing Gongsun Yan's tactics, Xia Bo gave him sincere praise, but his last sentence perfectly summarized the current battle situation.
Gongsun Yan's face darkened when he heard this. Xia Bo was right. No matter how good his counterattack was, it could not hide the fact that he was at a disadvantage.
All in all, the previous response was to prevent the lava snail from pursuing the victory, but Doronchi had already taken a powerful jet of flame and even fell into a state of burns, which could not be changed.
"Hmph, we don't know what the outcome will be yet. Doronchi, use malicious pursuit!"
Gongsun Yan commanded Duolongqi, who had already climbed up, to continue the attack. Since they couldn't play sneak attacks anymore, they might as well face the enemy head-on!
Duolongqi's speed is not slow to begin with, and now he can't hide in the shadows. Although his speed has been affected to a certain extent, it can still be described as fast.
In the blink of an eye, Doronchi appeared next to the lava snail, with dark evil energy emerging above his head and crashing into the lava snail's body.
"Lava snail, shell broken."
Just when Duolongqi was about to hit the lava snail, Xia Bo issued an order that made Gongsun Yan's scalp tingle.
"Oh no, Duolongqi, get out of the way!"
Gongsun Yan's reaction was actually quite fast, but the lava snail was obviously faster than him.
As soon as Duolongqi's head hit the lava snail, the lava snail exploded.
To be precise, the snail shell of the lava snail exploded, and the flames that were originally hidden inside broke out completely, accurately hitting Doronchi who was close at hand.
This explosion did not stir up too much dust. After the flames released by the explosion dissipated, the result of the battle was clearly visible.
Needless to say, Duolongqi was already in a state of burns, and was hit in the face by the explosion at close range, instantly losing his ability to fight.
Even the dragon Messiah beside him was the same, also covered in burns and also lying unconscious on the ground.
