Chapter 82 Crimson vs. Green, 3 chapters of battle!
Chapter 82 Crimson vs. Green, 3 chapters of battle!
At this moment, their crimson and green eyes were fixed on each other, oblivious to the surrounding noise.
The person in charge waved, and several drones rose from the edge, spreading out around the site to record footage from every angle.
Then the person in charge set up another device and started a live stream online.
[Peak Battle Arena, rookie trainer Red's 100th consecutive win in the same skill level battle! Come quick!]
Thanks to Crimson's incredible winning streak in the arena these past two days, he has gained more fans online.
By this time, many people had already begun to flock to the live stream to watch, and the number was still increasing.
When Qinglv saw Pikachu on the red shoulder, she spoke again.
"We each have three Pokémon, so the battle rules are 3v3, with a standard limit of four, and we can rotate freely. Is that alright?"
The two were actually quite a distance apart, and if the audience listened carefully in quiet conditions, they could hear each other.
But the noise from the audience completely drowns out what is being said.
Fortunately, there was a drone above both of them, which received the sound and played it out perfectly.
As the sound from the loudspeaker faded, the audience gradually quieted down, but most of them took out their phones.
They were either calling on friends or filming, always busy and flustered.
Crimson laughed: "Alright, that's settled then. Referee, I'm ready."
The referee then looked at Qinglu, who withdrew her arm: "I'm ready too."
The referee raised his flag: "So, Red versus Cyan, 3v3 with Rule 4, let the match begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two red lights flashed by.
The crimson Charmeleon and the green Wartortle have each taken their positions on the field and are now facing off.
The battlefield was just a plain, with not even a single pebble.
One nearby viewer scanned them with their Pokédex: "They're both level 35! They're close to evolving."
"Charmeleon's Attack, Special Attack, and Speed are on average 3 levels higher."
"Wartor's Defense, Special Defense, and HP levels are on average 4 levels higher."
"On paper, they're about even, but it's fire against water. Do you think Crimson will take its place?"
Crimson made no move; he was waiting for Green's instructions.
Given the inherent disadvantages, it's even more inappropriate to act rashly.
This is the insight he gained after defeating more than a dozen Water-type Trainers in the past two days.
In Qinglv's eyes, the expressions and even breathing rhythms of the Crimson and Charmeleons were identical.
Like a sharp sword lying dormant in its sheath, it silently unleashes the power of thunder.
He was carefully recalling his two previous failures.
Having made up her mind, Green immediately said, "Wartortle, hatch!"
The Warbler rapidly gathers energy on its body surface, concentrating it in the shell on its back.
Red reacted extremely quickly: "Charmeleon, Dragon Dance!"
The Charizard quickly shook its body, performing an ancient dragon dance with a solemn expression.
The energy around him flowed through his body in sync with his movements.
Soon, "snap," a section of Wartortle's shell cracked, and its Defense and Special Defense tiers dropped.
At the same time, attack, special attack, and speed levels increase significantly.
In reality, Pokémon's abilities can vary, unlike in games; their physical bodies have limitations.
Generally, it's like the current level ÷ 10, meaning the corresponding ability changes for both sides will fluctuate around 3.5 levels.
After the enhancement ended, apart from their health levels, all other abilities of both sides were brought to the same level.
Qinglu raised an eyebrow when she saw that the other party had also chosen to enhance their abilities.
He knew that Crimson, like himself, had also begun searching for skill machines to enhance his strength.
Since that's the case, I won't hide my skills and moves anymore.
"Wartorium, rush over and use Cold Water!"
Upon receiving the command, Wartortle rushed towards Charmeleon, gathering energy in its mouth.
Red reacted quickly: "Charmeleon, use smoke to conceal yourself!"
Charizard gathered its energy, spewing out a large plume of black smoke that quickly covered the half of the field before disappearing.
Green had already made adjustments as soon as Crimson issued the command.
"Wartorium, don't rush in! Stop before the smoke, splash cold water on it, then use a high-speed spin to disperse the smoke!"
Wartortle's energy has already accumulated to half its maximum; it's best not to forcibly interrupt it.
When it was still a meter away from the smoke screen, Wartortle stopped and released the energy it had gathered.
The pitch-black smoke showed no reaction, yet it harbored danger, like an abyss.
Wartortle gathered its energy again, leaped up, and curled into its shell.
Seeing this, Red issued another command: "Charmeleon, Dragon Dance again!"
Wartortle transformed into a spinning top and began to rotate around the outermost edge of the smoke, moving inwards.
The large cloud of smoke was rapidly swirled upwards and gradually dissipated, allowing Wartortle's speed to increase once again.
The fire dinosaur hidden within completed its dance, its energy disappearing from its body surface.
Charmeleon's attack and speed have also increased again, making it slightly faster than Wartortle overall.
The two were less than 3 meters apart when Crimson fired first: "Charmeleon, charge! Dragon Claw!"
Energy rapidly condensed on the Charizard's two claws, directly covering them into a pair of energy claws half a meter long.
Meanwhile, the fire dragon didn't stop its pace and was expected to reach attack range in two seconds.
Some viewers were already on tenterhooks: "Is Red actually in the lead? Charmeleon is going to force Wartortle to use its fourth move first!"
Green calmly responded: "Warbot, Water Tail!"
In the blink of an eye, Wartortle had also gathered its energy, the timing was neither too early nor too late.
As Charmeleon swung its claws, Wartortle also completed its turn.
"Tch~"
"Bang!"
Charmeleon's claws sank deep into the turtle's shell.
However, Wartortle lashed his belly with its azure energy tail, causing him to stagger backward before managing to stop.
Charmeleon has a relatively higher attack and has been enhanced twice, while Wartortle's defense has been reduced due to hatching.
At this moment, three deep claw marks were left on the latter's back, revealing its injuries, and its breathing began to become heavier.
Although Wartortle's attack is relatively lower, it has been buffed twice, plus it has type advantage.
Charmeleon's injuries were clearly more severe than Wartortle's, with a large mark left on its belly.
At this point, Wartortle's four moves have been determined, but Charmeleon is more seriously injured, so it's hard to say who will have the upper hand.
Crimson didn't think deeply at all, instinctively issuing the command: "Charge! Tail!"
Several possible responses flashed through Qinglv's mind in a split second, but she ultimately chose: "Pour cold water on it!"
With the two sides close together, it was virtually impossible to dodge their attacks.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
"Bang!"
The Charmeleon's injuries worsened after being hit by cold water, and its attack power decreased due to the additional effect of the cold water.
Wartortle was also struck by Charmeleon's energy tail, and after a loud bang, it flew towards the green area.
A Poké Ball flew out from Green's body, flashed red light, and Wartortle was forced to leave the field by the effect of Dragon Tail, returning to its ball.
Then, a red light flashed on Qinglu's body, and a figure entirely in blue was forcibly pulled onto the field.
Its claws are webbed, its eyes are sharp, and there is a red dot in the middle of its forehead above its beak.
The audience's Pokédex entries were faster than anyone else's: "A level 35 Golduck? And its ability is still the hidden Swift Swim."
As soon as Golduck landed, a look of joy appeared on its green face: "Golduck, self-suggestion!"
Seeing energy gathering on Golduck, Red seized the opportunity: "Charmeleon, Dragon Dance!"
Seeing the Charizard's body begin to throb, Green smiled and gave a command.
"Goldfish, freeze!"
