Trainers returning from the Kingdom of Roc

Chapter 72: 8 to 4

Wow, he's so handsome.

Why is he able to come up with such cool lines?

Luo Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say something cool, but he realized he didn't know enough when he needed it, so he just coughed lightly and said casually.

"I'm going to show you, a house cat, what real claws are, and then I'll offer you up to Enzo... uh, I mean, cough cough, let's begin."

Oh my god, is this how dark wizards used to say these things to me?

How embarrassing, damn it.

The referee didn't pay attention to Luo Yan and Li Wenxiu's conversation; it was just a pre-match trash talk session, something he'd seen many times before, and there were plenty of immature teenagers like them.

"This is the quarterfinals of the Beginner League, featuring Luo Yan against Li Wenxiu. Both players, please release your Pokémon simultaneously after the whistle blows. The player who releases their Pokémon first will lose. Get ready—"

Three...two...one...

--beep!

"Come out, Eevee!"

"Go, Froggy Frog!"

The two Poké Balls were released at the same time, and the next moment, two Pokémon, one white and one blue, appeared on the field.

Wow!!

The audience erupted in cheers!

It wasn't just because of the appearance of Shiny Eevee, but also because of the second Pokémon, Froakie, that Li Wenxiu released!

[Oh my god!! It's here! Li Wenxiu didn't immediately bring out Snorlax, but instead chose his Froakie! Is he preparing to test his speed against Luo Yan's Shiny Eevee?!]

"It's Froakie." Luo Yan frowned. Another rare starter Pokémon. He wondered when he'd be able to get one. "Eevee, Quick Attack!"

"Go and use [Acrobatics]!" Li Wenxiu said calmly.

The effect of acrobatics is to deal high damage to enemies with special postures without carrying any items, and it can be even more effective in certain special situations.

For example, right now, facing Eevee's lightning-fast attack, Froakie suddenly dodged the flash with a street dance move, while simultaneously rolling its body and kicking directly at Eevee.

"Ibuki jumps up and dodges!"

"Let's throw bubbles now!"

Both spoke almost simultaneously.

Eevee leaped high into the air to dodge the kick, while Froakie stopped sideways and took the bubble off its neck, throwing it at Eevee in mid-air.

The foam stuck to Eevee's four little feet, causing her to slip and fall the moment she landed.

[A fantastic reaction!!]

[He didn't use any special moves, but instead relied on the bubbles that Froakie has to limit Eevee. Now, Luo Yan is in trouble!!]

That's right, throwing bubbles isn't a skill, so Li Wenxiu quickly seized the opportunity to give the order: "Now's your chance, Froakie, use [Lick with Tongue]!"

Want to gamble on the paralysis effect?

Luo Yan immediately deduced what the other party was thinking and then spoke up. "Eevee, calm down and use [Cross Lightning]!"

"Boo~!"

Upon hearing Luo Yan's voice, Ibu immediately stopped panicking because he couldn't stand steadily, and instead lay down on the ground to meet the attacking tongue.

"Lightning!?" Li Wenxiu's expression changed drastically for the first time!

Suddenly, yellow electricity surged from Ibuki's body, and the next second, she let out a roar.

"Bubububu!!"

A violent bolt of lightning struck back faster, hitting the Frog's tongue.

The frog's eyes widened in disbelief.

The intense lightning struck the Froakie's tongue instantly and continued to blast its body, freezing it in place and causing black smoke to billow out.

"Now's the time! Ibrahimovic gives him his final 'Quick Attack'!"

Without giving its opponent a chance to react, Eevee broke free of the bubble with Lightning and transformed into a white light, knocking Froakie away.

"Froakie is unable to battle. Please switch to the next Pokémon, Li Wenxiu!"

"hateful..."

Li Wenxiu gritted his teeth; he could now understand Lin Feng's feelings.

"Not only can it use Fire-type moves, but it can even use Electric-type moves? Shiny Pokémon are truly not to be underestimated. In that case, let's unleash Zangoose Slash!"

[It's a mongoose slash!!]

Suddenly, a white mongoose appeared in the Poké Ball. It had red lightning bolt-shaped fur on its body, and its claws gleamed with coldness, giving it an extremely fierce feel.

Ibu also lowered his body slightly, staring at the Zangoose Slash opposite him as if facing a formidable enemy.

Zangoose, a Normal-type Pokémon, is a rival of Seviper. Its ability grants immunity to poison and toxic status effects. It has no evolution and is a very rare Pokémon, rarely seen even in China.

"I tamed this guy in the Changbai Mountain region. He's a bit wild, so be careful," Li Wenxiu warned, then immediately gave the order: "Mongoose Slash, [Sharpen Claws]!"

"Eevee, Shadow Ball!" Seeing that Zangoose had begun to sharpen its claws, Luo Yan immediately gave the command.

At this point, using a lightning strike to actively approach the opponent is not a good choice.

If you are unsure of your opponent's speed and they have already used a transformation skill first, the best approach is to create distance and probe with ranged skills.

"Mongoose Slash, [High-Speed ​​Movement] to get close to her! Then use [Low Kick]!"

When it moves, it is as swift as thunder!

A cold glint flashed in Zangoose Slash's eyes, and then his body suddenly shot out, easily dodging the Shadow Ball. His figure then approached Eevee's location at an extremely fast speed, his legs already bursting with a faint white light.

Faced with the situation where the Froggy Frog was easily defeated, Li Wenxiu immediately launched a killing move.

"Ibrahimovic, [double kick] next!"

Both being Fighting-type moves, Eevee immediately launched a flying kick to meet the attack.

After a brief exchange of blows, neither side managed to launch an effective attack.

"Mongoose Slash, followed by consecutive Brick Break attacks!"

Luo Yan figured it out: Li Wenxiu's Zangoose Slash was most likely aimed at his Eevee. His entire set of Fighting-type moves was extremely targeted. Fortunately, Zangoose Slash hadn't learned the [Close Combat] move yet, otherwise Eevee probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

"Ibu, use Fire Chariot!" With no other option, Luo Yan decided to go all in with his ultimate move.

Faced with the relentless pressure from Zangoose Slash, Eevee's body instantly burst into flames, transforming into a wheel of fire that charged directly towards its opponent. Zangoose Slash, however, neither dodged nor evaded, its claws gleaming with cold light slashing directly at the oncoming flames!

Terrifying flames swept out, and the two figures retreated simultaneously to create distance.

Eevee landed on the ground, its four legs trembling slightly. Having taken a Brick Break, it was nearing its limit. Zangiegator Slash wasn't much better off; the fur on its hands was singed, and it stood on the ground panting heavily. Clearly, Eevee's powerful Fire-type move had also caused it significant damage.

Seeing this, Luo Yan took out a Poké Ball. "Well done, come back, Eevee."

"Is it time to bring your little horse on the field?" Li Wenxiu whispered.

Luo Yan remained silent, only offering a slight smile.

"Go, mosquito coil frog!"
