Chapter 18 Why doesn’t the rock-type gym leader use rock-type skills?
The second elf sent by Xiaogang was naturally the big rock snake that was electrocuted to pieces by Pikachu's move of 100,000 volts in another world line.
As soon as the heavy and solid body fell into the field, bursts of sand and sharp rocks were scattered, forcing the little fire dragon to jump to another stone again to avoid it.
At this moment, Xiaogang's rock field is already full of sharp rocks, and the small fire dragon with limited mobility is like a living target in front of the big rock snake!
"I have to admit, I seemed to have underestimated you just now."
Looking at the boy twenty meters away, Xiaogang squinted his eyes and analyzed: "Although you are using a fire Pokémon, you skillfully used the will-o'-the-wisp to weaken the enemy's physical strength and limit the enemy's performance, and you made the Charmander jump on the rock according to the situation. The most important thing to avoid the invisible rock is to do a lot of training in advance and consume your physical strength to flexibly activate its fierce fire characteristics. "
"Although this will result in the end of the battle if your Charmander takes just one hit, it also minimizes the disadvantages in terms of attributes when attacking."
"I just misunderstood, Qiaoqiao, you really thought about it before challenging me with the fire elf."
"Your reasoning is almost completely correct." Zhou You admitted.
It's just that the point about Charmander's physical strength is completely wrong. Before entering the gym, he used his Phoenix Flame to give Arthur a mouthful of milk. At this moment, it can be said to be fighting in full condition.
"Beginner elves who are Charmanders must face this dilemma, but this is the struggle that Arthur and I make in order to win."
Struggling with full blood is also a struggle!
"Well said! This is what a trainer in Zhenxin Town should be like!" Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction, "I can see that your little fire dragon trusts you very much, but my will is not inferior to that of the big rock snake. To you, Big Rock Snake, let him see our tenacity!”
Hearing Xiaogang say this, the big rock snake that fell into the field immediately looked up to the sky and roared.
If Zhou You had a combat power detector or similar system, he would probably be shown this text at this time:
The gym owner Xiaogang used the trainer skill "I am as strong as a rock", and the attack and defense of the opponent's team were greatly improved!
(Note: Xiaogang’s trainer skills in the official Pokémon mobile game Pokémon Master.)
There was no instruction to wait for the surrounding area, so Arthur took action decisively, once again throwing out a stream of phosphorus fire with his tail.
There is nothing wrong with using will-o'-the-wisp to weaken the enemy first, and the green flames immediately wrapped around the big rock snake.
"This little fire dragon has good fighting habits, but this level of burns is meaningless against a huge elf like the Great Rock Snake! Tie it up tight!"
How come your rock gym can only use general skills?
Although he complained like this in his heart, Zhou You naturally knew the answer.
After all, this is a battle with a 0 badge trainer. Throwing invisible rocks is enough. It is impossible to use tricks such as falling rocks, earthquakes, and rock collapses to greet them. The gym leader must also practice martial arts, at least. It’s shameless.
Having said that, the Big Rock Snake, which is both large and flexible, is almost a dimensionality-reducing blow when facing the small fire dragon whose mobility is limited by the invisible rock. As expected, the Big Rock Snake, which had just received the order, rushed straight towards General Arthur. It was tied up tightly.
"(Painful) Wow!"
But this is still within Zhou You’s calculations!
The Rock Snake is huge and faster than you, and it can also dig holes and attack unexpectedly, which you wouldn't be able to win under normal circumstances.
Before this battle, Zhou You and Arthur had analyzed how Xiaogang's Big Rock Snake had a huge advantage when facing it.
So from the very beginning, he bet on the fact that Xiaogang would choose his signature tactic when facing a new trainer, letting Big Rock Snake use a tight tie to prevent the opponent from counterattacking!
Arthur, who was in pain from being tied up by the giant thing, gritted his teeth, and the flames on his tail became more intense, enduring the pain and wrapping the flames around himself!
"Use that move!" "Wow!"
The fierce flames swallowed up the small fire dragon, and immediately affected the large rock snake that was in close contact with it.
Flame Vortex, a unique technique that spits out one's own flames and forms a vortex to restrain the enemy's movement.
This is originally a complex technique that cannot be mastered by elves of Charmander's level. Even if it is used paradoxically, it can only have a slight effect. At most, it can restrain powerless humans or ultra-small elves such as green caterpillars.
And if it is wrapped around itself, the flames on the Charmander's tail can provide it with a steady stream of energy, allowing it to barely control and briefly use the normal power of the flame vortex!
Although it was the flame vortex formed by Arthur himself, the large rock snake in close contact with it also suffered full damage.
Tie tight and flame vortex, both sides are suffering damage. This battle with rather unfavorable attributes has turned into a competition of their endurance and will.
"It can actually attack in this state? But isn't it about to lose its ability to fight!? Don't lose to him, Big Rock Snake!" Xiaogang cheered hoarsely.
"That's enough, Arthur, let's trade the leftovers for the final blow."
The Phoenix's fire, which can heal all wounds, cannot control mental damage.
For Zhou You, he tried his best to exchange injuries with the owner's elf, and let the elf who was less than a year old fight to the death to this point was a dereliction of duty on his part. It was a last resort because of poor tactics.
Therefore, he did not intend to let Arthur fight in pain until the last moment, leaving a psychological shadow.
For Charmander alone, it is enough to achieve this point.
So he took out his Poké Ball and aimed it at Arthur's figure in the flames, preparing to put it back into the ball.
"Wow!? Wow!" But Arthur refused.
Zoroa simultaneous interpretation came online in real time: "What!? I can keep going!"
Before he finished speaking, the flames on Arthur's tail burst into flames again, and the flame vortex originally wrapped around him suddenly burned into a large fireball with a radius of several meters!
The red light wave projected by the Poké Ball was distorted by the violently burning air, and failed to bring Charmander back into the ball as expected.
Zhou You couldn't help but frown when he saw this. Arthur was forcing himself to exchange blood with the Big Rock Snake, but he himself could only watch from the sidelines?
In fact, you should collect a restraint elf such as a walking grass or a mosquito tadpole to practice before challenging it.
In fact, you should rethink your tactics before taking on the challenge.
In fact, you can completely bypass the Dark Gray and Cerulean Gyms and come back to the challenge later when the lineup is complete.
There is still a difference between games and reality after all.
The elves in the game are just a bunch of data and can be treated as props to implement tactics, but in reality...
Shaking his head to get rid of many distracting thoughts, Zhou You chose to respond to Arthur's feelings first.
"Keep it up, Arthur, I'll be behind you."
"Wow!"
"I am as strong as a rock" (Xiao Gang): Increase the attack and defense of one of our team's pairs by 2 levels.
"In my calculation" (traveling): The next action of our 1 pair shooting group will not consume the meter gauge, the next action will increase the CT probability by 1 level, and the next action will increase the damage when hitting a vital point.
…
In fact, these two skills are pretty useless. Take a look at Xiaozhi’s skills in the officially authorized mobile game Treasure Master:
"Go with all your strength!" (Ash): Increase your special attack by 4 levels, increase your CT probability by 3 levels, and if your remaining HP is more than half, increase your special attack and speed by an additional 2 levels.
"I will never admit defeat!" (Ash): Recover 20% of my HP, add 6 action gauges, put myself in a state of recovery (similar to a water ring), and increase my next effect's power. Ignore the next injury yourself.
The genius planning is simply outrageous.
