How fast is lightning? Generally speaking, the minimum speed is around 10 kilometers per second, and the maximum speed can reach several hundred kilometers per second. However, this is the speed of natural lightning. The electric moves used by Pokémon are far from comparable to it, which is why Nightowl was able to escape the 100,000-volt attack before.
However, the thunder move utilized the natural lightning in the clouds to strike the opponent, so its speed was much higher than the previous 100,000 volts.
The Night Owl was struck by the thunder before it had time to escape. Intense lightning filled the entire field, and the intense light made it impossible for anyone to see the result on the field.
Naqi's face also changed drastically. She didn't expect that Hakron could use such a powerful move as Thunder so quickly. Although she was prepared, she was not absolutely sure.
Finally, after Naqi saw a familiar black shadow appear in the sky, a smile appeared on her face, and she immediately ordered: "Night Owl, use hypnosis!"
A figure appeared in front of Hakron. Before Hakron could react, he saw a pair of eyes glowing blue. Then Hakron lost consciousness and fell from the air.
"What?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect that the Night Owl could survive such a powerful thunder, even Gongsun Yan.
"Damn, it's the light wall!" Gongsun Yan only took a glance at the Nightowl on the field and found the clue. A layer of transparent glass suddenly appeared on the head of the Nightowl. It was this layer of light wall that blocked most of the damage from the thunder. However, this light wall was also constantly collapsing. It was obvious that the power of thunder was too strong.
"It seems that you have discovered it, but the victory of this battle will be won by me, Nightowl, the dream eater!" Naqi showed a bright smile on her face, and decisively let Nightowl absorb physical strength from Haxorus to restore itself.
Gongsun Yan took a deep breath upon seeing this, and then exhaled fiercely. A smile of success appeared on his face, and his voice became increasingly vile.
"Hahaha, do you think I didn't think of this? Don't you realize that the Night Owl is flying a little too high now? And it's also keeping a vertical line with Haxorus. Such a Night Owl is a sitting duck! Haxorus, you're talking in your sleep!"
"What?!" Now it was Naqi's turn to be shocked. She also found that the Night Owl was flying too high and staying among the Haxoruba and the rain clouds.
Before Naqi could order the Nightowl to dodge, a trace of electric current appeared on Hakron's body. The electric current in the rain cloud seemed to have found a target to vent its electricity, and it struck towards Hakron's position, and then all hit the Nightowl in the middle.
Chapter 175: Damn Gongsun Yan
The Nightowl, which was struck by countless lightning bolts, also let out a sharp scream in the air. The Nightowl, which had already been injured in the previous thunder, was no longer protected by the light wall and could not withstand the obvious overflow of damage. It decisively lost its combat ability and fell to the ground faster than Haxorus.
And Hakron woke up at the moment it was about to touch the ground, and flew high into the sky again. Before he could run to Gongsun Yan and act coquettishly, a dazzling white light suddenly enveloped Hakron.
That's right, Haxorus is about to evolve. Gongsun Yan raised Haxorus' level to the point where it is about to evolve yesterday, just to make this battle a catalyst to promote his evolution.
Originally, Gongsun Yan would not be so anxious to evolve the Pokémon. After all, there was still a lot of potential to be tapped in its pre-evolution state. However, Gongsun Yan had cultivated Haxoruba with a lot of resources since the Dratini period, and it had already accumulated enough evolutionary energy in its body.
In addition, both Dratini and Haxorus can rely on molting to improve their control over their own energy, but they will inevitably lose some of the accumulated energy when molting. Only Gongsun Yan, a big dog owner, can ignore the loss of this energy.
This also led to Haxorus quickly mastering the increased strength after evolution, and even if it evolved now, there was no wasted potential.
However, this only applies to Pokémon whose bodies will undergo drastic changes after evolution. For Pokémon like Sharktooth, whose body shape does not change much after evolution, Gongsun Yan will not allow it even if he can evolve quickly. After all, the degree of control over the current body can also be reflected in the evolved body to a certain extent.
As for Dragonite, which is evolved from Haxorus, it cannot be said that it is different, but it can be said that it is unrelated. Evolving earlier can give it more time to adapt to the changed body after evolution. In addition, Haxorus is a cute boy, and he does not need to maintain the Haxorus form in order to reproduce offspring.
In the white light, the original snake-like body of Hacklonia also underwent tremendous changes. Its hands and feet began to extend continuously along with the white light. Its originally slender body began to become a little bloated, and the protruding belly was even more eye-catching. Finally, a pair of small and cute wings also extended from its back.
"Roar!" As the white light dissipated, the evolved Dragonite appeared in front of everyone. Its sky blue body looked so fresh and free, but its honest face pretended to have a fierce expression, which made people want to rub it a few times.
The evolved Dragonite was about to go over and hug its trainer, but after seeing its evolved self, especially the protruding belly, Dragonite instantly put on a mask of pain.
"Roar~ (Master, where did my originally slender body go? This protruding belly is so ugly!)" Dragonite rushed to Gongsun Yan's side, hugged Gongsun Yan's thighs and wouldn't let go, constantly crying to Gongsun Yan in a tearful voice.
Gongsun Yan, who was unable to break free, had no choice but to release Gardevoir to translate Dragonite's words. After hearing what Dragonite said, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Don't worry, you look very good now. Accept the fact that evolution is irreversible. Go back to the Poké Ball first." Gongsun Yan suppressed his smile and put Dragonite back into the Poké Ball.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Dragonite also knew that evolution was irreversible, and could only return to the Poké Ball with a look of regret.
After defeating Dragonite, Gongsun Yan also turned his attention to the competition field. Of course, he still took back Gardevoir. After all, his original plan did not include Gardevoir on the field.
Naqi, who was standing opposite and watching the show, also released her next Pokémon, which was the most powerful tool pet that was very famous in the previous life and almost every veteran Pokémon player would have one, Tropico!
The first thing the Tropical Dragon did when it came out was to spit out a scorching fireball into the air. After the fireball exploded in the air, the rain clouds, which had become extremely thin due to the repeated lightning caused by the Haxorus, completely disappeared, and the scorching sun shone on the entire field.
After doing all this, the tropical dragon looked at Gongsun Yan with fighting spirit, and Naqi also cast a fighting look at Gongsun Yan.
However, Gongsun Yan looked at the situation on the field with an expression that was indescribably strange. He glanced at the next Pokémon in his hand and muttered something.
"This happiness comes too suddenly!"
Then Gongsun Yan threw the Poké Ball in his hand, and a strong Charizard appeared in front of the Tropical Dragon. When Naqi saw the Charizard, her face froze.
Although she saw this Charizard yesterday, she subconsciously thought that this Charizard was the Pokémon of the boy named Satoshi. After all, she had also watched the video of the Silver Conference and had a great impression of Satoshi's Charizard.
So even though that Haxoroo had appeared in the previous battle, she didn't pay too much attention to it. She released the Dragonite exactly according to the battle order set before, and was also considerate enough to give Charizard a Sunny Day BUFF.
Although his tropical dragon has the chlorophyll characteristic, its speed doubles on sunny days and the Sun Flame does not need to be charged, but it is obviously more advantageous to the opponent.
The Fire and Flying Charizard probably doesn't even want to hide from the sunlight and flames. Moreover, sunlight is constantly condensing on the skin of this Charizard, which is obviously the characteristic of the power of the sun. Such a Charizard can make her Tropical Dragon lose its combat ability with just a random move of spraying flames.
However, Naqi is not going to give up so easily. She cheers herself up. She knows the disadvantages of the solar power. As long as the drake can dodge the first few waves of Charizard's attacks, it is very likely to defeat Charizard.
As soon as the battle started, Charizard immediately greeted Tropical Dragon with a jet of fire. Seeing the air around the fire constantly twisting, Naqi quickly asked Tropical Dragon to use Swallow Return to avoid it.
Although the tropical dragon is not small in size, it is very agile. With the help of the chlorophyll properties, it left its original position almost in an instant and avoided the jet of flame.
However, just as Naqi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to command the tropical dragon to fight back, an orange-red figure suddenly appeared in front of the tropical dragon and grabbed the tropical dragon's neck with both hands.
Following Gongsun Yan's shout of spraying fire, Charizard also sprayed fire at Tropical Dragon's head from close range, and Tropical Dragon also responded with a clean and decisive GG.
Naqi: Damn Gongsun Yan!
Chapter 176: The Violent Dragon Appears
Naqi took back the tropical dragon with a grim face. Gongsun Yan was also very embarrassed. It was really disrespectful to kill the opponent instantly with this move.
But the main thing is that Gongsun Yan really didn't expect that the Tropical Dragon could not even withstand one move, although the Tropical Dragon's attributes, speed, moves, and even level were not superior.
Well, thinking about it this way, it seems that it is normal to not be able to withstand a single attack. Gongsun Yan felt helpless after thinking about this, but he didn't think so much, otherwise he would definitely ask Charizard to hold back.
Charizard also felt helpless. He had only used the normal power of the jet flame. The output environment created by Tropical Dragon was too suitable for him. Even if he did not use his full strength, Tropical Dragon could not bear it.
Charizard now feels regretful, extremely regretful. According to the arrangement made in the morning, he only has one chance to appear, and he will be taken back before he can have enough fun.
He also didn't think that the next Dragonite would lose to the opponent. After all, their strength was similar. But this meant that his role was over, which made him very uncomfortable.
However, no matter how uncomfortable Charizard felt, it was of no use. Gongsun Yan raised his hand and took him back. It was obvious that he had not come out to breathe for five minutes, but he had to make way for the Dragonite behind him.
"Hehe, um, I didn't mean it, do you believe it?" After Gongsun Yan retracted the Charizard, he touched his nose awkwardly and explained to Nachi opposite him with a wry smile.
"Haha! Come out, Armored Bird!" Naqi sneered a few times. She had no intention of listening to Gongsun Yan's explanation. She raised her hand and threw out her last Pokémon, the huge Armored Bird.
"Ah, come out, Dragonite!" After seeing Naqi's expression, Gongsun Yan immediately decided that he must not confront Mikoli head-on, otherwise he would probably be beaten to death by the opponent.
"Roar!" As soon as Dragonite appeared, it let out a loud roar. The Armorbird subconsciously stepped back a little, and its originally sharp momentum also became a little weak. It seemed that the intimidation feature took effect.
"Armored Bird, use Steel Wings!" Naqi was not frightened by the momentum of Dragonite at all, and gave orders to Armored Bird very calmly.
The wings of the Armorbird suddenly glowed with metallic luster, and it shot towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The speed was so fast that Gongsun Yan was unable to react.
Fortunately, the reaction nerves of Tyrannosaurus were well-developed, and it quickly shifted its body, finally avoiding the attack before the Armored Bird attacked Tyrannosaurus.
Just this scene made Gongsun Yan frown. This armored bird was not simple. Its strength was definitely not just elite level. It might have reached level 50, and its main training point was speed.
"Armored Bird, use Steel Wing again!" Seeing that the first attack missed, Naqi quickly asked Armored Bird to use Steel Wing again.
"Dragonfly, use Dragon Dance!" Seeing that Armorbird was about to use the same trick again, Gongsun Yan simply stopped thinking about countermeasures and let Dragonfly directly enhance himself. He wouldn't lose out anyway.
"Roar!" Dragonite performed a mysterious dance in the air. Violence and elegance were perfectly integrated in him. While improving his own abilities, he also dodged the steel wings shot by the Armored Bird.
"Armored Bird, use Swallow Return!" Naqi would certainly not let Dragonite improve itself so leisurely, so she let Armored Bird use Swallow Return with its extremely fast attack speed to interrupt Dragonite.
The figure of the Armored Bird quickly disappeared in the air, and suddenly appeared in front of Tyrannosaurus Rex, hitting it hard and knocking it flying backwards.
Fortunately, Dragonite's Dragon Dance has been completed, and its attack and speed have also been improved. But even so, Dragonite cannot see the Armored Bird in the Swallow Return state, which shows how fast the Armored Bird is.
"Another Swallow Return!" When Naqi saw that Swallow Return made it impossible for Dragonite to dodge, she also ordered Armorbird to continue using Swallow Return to attack.
"Dromeda, take the opportunity to use Jet Flame!" Gongsun Yan's face was serious. The speed of this armored bird was really terrifying. He could only wait for the slightest pause after his move hit the target and then attack.
The Armored Bird once again showed its extremely fast speed. Yan Fan directly hit the Tyrannosaurus, which had no time to dodge. However, the Tyrannosaurus obviously would not take the beating like this. A stream of hot flame emerged from its mouth and sprayed towards the Armored Bird in front of it.
You have to know that it is still a sunny day now. Although the flame jet of Tyrannosaurus is not as powerful as Charizard, it is enough to give Armored Bird a hard time.
"Get out of the way!" Naqi stretched out her arm and waved, showing her confidence!
Armored Bird did not disappoint its trainer's confidence and demonstrated its powerful maneuverability. With just a flap of its wings, it flew right above Dragonite.
"Armored Bird, attack like crazy!" Naqi's attack was fierce, obviously to avenge what happened before.
"Violent Flying Dragon, use your dragon claws to block it!" Gongsun Yan was also fully focused. This armored bird was indeed not easy to deal with. It was true that all martial arts in the world were indestructible except for speed. The Fire Cloud Evil God was not deceiving me!
But Gongsun Yan didn't think he would lose. After all, there was a follow-up to this sentence: Those who win by momentum will lose momentum, and those who win by strength will die when their strength is exhausted. This speed is definitely impossible to maintain. With the physical strength of the Tyrannosaurus, it is more than enough to kill two Armored Birds.
Of course, there is actually another way to defeat the Armored Bird, which is to use slow to defeat fast, and to use softness to overcome hardness!
However, these two methods are not suitable for Garchomp. It would be better to let Garchomp die than to let him just stand there and take a beating. And Garchomp, which is known for its aggressive moves, is not suitable for slow and leisurely responses.
In this case, Gongsun Yan would directly let Dragonite use the third method of response. The heavy sword has no edge, and great skill can also restrain this kind of speed-type opponent, forcing the opponent to fight Dragonite head-on.
"Bang!" In just a moment, the beak of the Armored Bird and the claws of the Tyrannosaurus collided several times. During this period, the Armored Bird tried to break free many times, but the Tyrannosaurus kept entangled with the Armored Bird, making it unable to take advantage of its speed.
"What! Armored Bird, use Swords Dance to break free!" Naqi was also very anxious when she saw this scene. Although her Armored Bird was big enough and had strong physical strength, it was still too difficult for him to fight against a Pokémon like Dragonite at close range.
"Dromion, ignore the sword dance, rush in and bite it to pieces!" Gongsun Yan would naturally not let Naqi's plan succeed. If the Armored Bird was allowed to keep the distance, the variables of this battle would be great.
Tyrannosaurus rushed to the opposite side of the Armored Bird despite the sword energy around him, opened its big mouth full of fangs, and bit the Armored Bird's wing hard.
Chapter 177 Both Sides Suffer
"Good job, Dragonite, you used Overheat just like that!" After seeing Dragonite biting the wings of the Armored Bird, Gongsun Yan immediately showed his true colors and let Dragonite use its fire-based ultimate move, Overheat.
"Damn it! Armored Bird, hold on!" Naqi also exclaimed. She knew that Armored Bird would definitely not be able to withstand this move, so she quickly asked Armored Bird to use "Hold on" to withstand this move.
A stream of scorching flames emerged from the mouth of the Tyrannosaurus that was biting the wings of the Armored Bird. As the power was accumulated, the Tyrannosaurus opened its mouth, and the scorching flames pushed the Armored Bird directly to the ground. The high temperature even caused the surrounding land to show signs of melting.
"Dragonfly, use Dragon Claw on the position of Armored Bird!" Gongsun Yan also wanted Dragonfly to pursue the victory. Using the move hard would definitely make Armored Bird have only the last bit of physical strength left. If he didn't finish off the enemy now, when would he finish off the enemy?
The Tyrannosaurus also condensed two huge dragon claws in the first moment and smashed them towards the Armored Bird on the ground, stirring up a huge cloud of dust.
The people on the sidelines also looked anxiously into the smoke, wanting to know what the result would be, but they all felt that Armored Bird would definitely be in danger. After all, Dragonite's attack was smooth and there was no hindrance at all.
However, the two people on the field were not so optimistic. Naqi was purely confident in her own Pokémon, and Gongsun Yan was optimistic because of the law of smoke without injury, and he did not hear the sound of the dragon claw hitting the Armored Bird, and the Armored Bird did not scream.
As Gongsun Yan expected, two figures suddenly jumped out of the smoke. One of them was the panting Armored Bird, and there were a lot of charred marks on his body, which showed the powerful power of the overheating move.
The other one was naturally Tyrannosaurus, and there were no obvious scars on its body. Apart from some panting, it did not look injured at all. It seemed that apart from the recoil force of its dragon claws hitting the ground, the Armored Bird did not have time to cause any damage to Tyrannosaurus.
Seeing the status of the two Pokémon on the field, Naqi and Gongsun Yan looked at each other and knew that the next move would decide the outcome. No matter what the final result was, Armored Bird did not have the strength to launch the next move.
"Dragonwing/Armored Dragon! Dragon Claw/Giant Bird Slam!" Gongsun Yan and Nachi let their Pokémon use their best or most powerful moves, ready for a head-on fight.
In fact, Gongsun Yan could have let Dragonite use a containment strategy, in which case the current Armored Bird wouldn't even be able to touch Dragonite at all. However, Gongsun Yan would occasionally get excited, after all, no matter how sinister a person is, his blood is still hot.
Of course, Dragonite obviously would not use such a timid tactic. It would be fine if it was at a disadvantage now, but it would be a shame if it was playing dirty with such a huge advantage. Dragonite would never accept itself and its trainer being like this.
Huge and solid green dragon claws condensed on the two front paws of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and a dark blue phantom of a divine bird appeared on the body of the Armorbird. Both sides paused in the air for a while, and then disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, two Pokémon appeared in the center of the venue and collided violently.
"Boom!" After the two Pokémon were in a stalemate for a while, a violent explosion occurred from the point of contact. The strong explosion made Gongsun Yan and Naqi a little unstable.
As the smoke cleared, the Armored Bird had fallen into the pit, losing its ability to fight. And the Tyrannosaurus was struggling to get up from the ground. The outcome of this battle was already decided.
"Bang~" When Sega, who was acting as the referee, was about to announce the result of the battle, Dragonite, who had struggled to get up on the field, fell directly to the ground and lost his ability to fight.
"Both Dragonite and Armorbird have lost their ability to fight. Since the challenger still has two Pokémon, the winner of this battle is Gongsun Yan from Weibai Town!"
Gongsun Yan, who won the victory, also walked down from the platform and released Gardevoir to heal the two Pokémon on the field.
"How was it? Did you enjoy the battle?" Gongsun Yan patted the head of the awakened Dragonite, who nodded with a smile on his face.
"Bang!" Gongsun Yan saw the smug look of Baofeilong and punched Baofeilong on the head in annoyance, leaving a bump on the head while complaining.
"Have you forgotten what I told you? Never get close to a wounded or dying Pokémon. You never know how powerful they can be! If you were in the wild now, both of you would die at the same time!"
While lecturing the Baofeilong who was lowering his head in front of him, Gongsun Yan put his hands behind his back, rubbing his right hand with his left hand, and trying hard to resist showing his mask of pain. The mood and atmosphere were just there, and he always felt that something would be missing if he didn't continue fighting.
As a result, he apparently forgot how hard the skin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was. This punch took him ten years of hard work, but ended up injuring the enemy twenty times and hurting himself a thousand times.
While Gongsun Yan was enduring the pain and scolding Dragonite, Naqi also comforted Armored Bird, put it back into the Poké Ball, and stood up and walked towards everyone.
"Both of these two matches are very exciting. It's really like the new generation is pushing the old generation forward!" Naqi looked at Xiaozhi and Gongsun Yan in front of her and suddenly felt like she was getting old.
Since Xiaozhi comes to challenge Hoenn with a brand new lineup, it is hard to say who his strongest opponent is, but from this battle we can see that Xiaozhi has very strong talent and a promising future.
If Xiaozhi is a gifted person, then Gongsun Yan can only be described as a monster. She has only practiced in the Orange Gym for a month, but she has already possessed such powerful strength. The configuration of Pokémon makes even her, the gym owner, very jealous. Her talent and luck are rare in a century.
In the end, Naqi could only reveal a smile that was slightly regretful but also somewhat relieved. She took out two flying feather badges from her body and handed them to the two men respectively.
"You all trust your Pokémon, and Pokémon also trust you. You must remember this. The power of bonds will allow you to go further!" After giving out the badges, Naqi also gave the two some advice.
That’s right, although both of them have very high strength and potential, Naqi has seen similar trainers before, but the bond between the two and their Pokémon is what Naqi praises the most. The power of the bond can allow Pokémon to exert strength beyond their limits.
