Chapter 478 Qingyu: I Avoid His Edge?
After the flames and lightning collided, the two incompatible energies quickly erupted, creating a cloud of thick black smoke in the air.
Salamence and Pikachu simultaneously stopped firing, and Crimson's voice followed: "Pikachu, use Thunder Wave now!"
Taking advantage of the distraction of Qingyu and Bailong's vision, Crimson began to play tricks, intending to catch them off guard.
However, Qingyu had already experienced enough of these unorthodox methods, so without thinking, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Wyvern, fly up and get out of the way."
"Click!"
Salamence let out a disdainful sneer, effortlessly predicting the opponent's Pikachu's move with a flap of its wings, and creating a hurricane.
However, Pikachu did not immediately unleash its attack. Instead, the invisible electromagnetic waves wrapped around its tail like rings, leaving Qingyu unable to figure out Red's moves.
There are fast and slow knives?
A bad feeling suddenly arose in Qingyu's heart.
"Now, Pikachu!"
Sure enough, Red immediately revealed a confident smile. As soon as he spoke, Pikachu had already leaped up, easily jumping more than ten times its own height!
In an indoor environment, such terrifying jumping ability also means—
The Salamence could no longer take off to evade its attack.
Electromagnetic waves are indeed a great means of controlling speed and field, but like other abnormal moves that inflict abnormal statuses, they have always had the drawback of being difficult to hit when the distance between the two parties is far.
Therefore, for a super rookie who is good at wild fighting, the best way to solve this problem is naturally to just shove the moves into the opponent's mouth, how could they possibly miss?
"Use Iron Tail to send electromagnetic waves into Salamence's body!"
Red's subsequent command was a case of striking first even before Pikachu gave the order; Pikachu had already taken the corresponding action long before Red gave the command.
Their combination of punches is very well-practiced; they must have practiced a lot.
If the opponent reacts slowly, the trainer might not even have time to retaliate before being easily paralyzed while being hit by Iron Tail.
But after all, their opponent this time was Qingyu, and he was also familiar with wild fighting, so he knew that he must not let Chihong succeed at this time.
"Salamander, Protect!"
To be on the safe side, Qingyu decided to play it safe for the time being.
His Salamence also showed a very extreme reaction. When the opponent was close by and Iron Tail was about to attack, he used his wings to flap the airflow and forcefully took a step back, which gave him room to release Protect.
"Bang--!"
Iron Tail crashed into the barrier formed by the guard, and even with all its strength, it only managed to create a few cracks. At this moment, the electromagnetic waves turned into electric current and flowed out along the tail, making a crackling sound.
As expected of someone from Kanto, even outside of open battles, they always manage to come up with these strange and unusual uses.
Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time smiled at the young Chi Hong.
Unfortunately, this approach is still too risky.
Pikachu's amazing jumping ability does give it a way to temporarily attack Salamence, but Pikachu can't fly, you know?
Having lost its foothold, all its strength was used on the iron tail, making it a sitting duck.
He's still too young; he actually gave away such an obvious opening.
"Salamander, use your tail and claw attacks repeatedly until Pikachu lands!"
"Pikachu, hold the line!"
Red knew, of course, that it was Pikachu's turn to defend, so just like Teacher Yu had done earlier, it obediently took the hits and waited for its chance.
"Click!"
Salamence launched a series of fierce attacks with its thick tail and silvery claws, slamming against the barrier formed in front of Pikachu, quickly creating some cracks that looked as if it might break at any moment.
Of course, Salamence doesn't learn the incredibly powerful Invisible Fist technique through training at the Isle of Armor gym like Lucario, which allows it to ignore Guardian barriers.
All it needs to do is four words—
The brick flies with great force!
Holding is not a universal defensive move as in the game. If it withstands too much impact in a short period of time, or if there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, it is possible for it to be easily broken.
"Tsk—"
Red was under immense pressure at this moment.
Judging from the height, the pickup truck should only take about a second to land, but to him it felt like an agonizing slow-motion experience.
The instant Pikachu's feet touched the ground, Salamence's tail broke through its defenses and swung at the unsuspecting creature with all its might!
"Pikachu, hold onto its tail! Don't let it get pulled off the field!"
In the midst of the chaos, Crimson forced herself to calm down and continued to give orders.
Given the huge weight difference between Pikachu and Salamence, if that tail strike lands squarely, Pikachu will definitely be forced out of the battle.
Therefore, the best solution now is to use its tail to generate power and stay on the field for the time being.
The red Pikachu reacted very quickly. The moment it was hit by the attack, it actually endured the pain and used all four limbs to hug the base of Salamence's tail.
"Huh?!"
Feeling the subtle entanglement on its tail, Salamence immediately began wildly waving its tail, trying to fling it away.
"Well done, Pikachu!"
Seeing that his ingenious idea had worked again, Crimson couldn't help but excitedly throw an uppercut into the air, and then quickly continued to speak.
"Now! Unleash a full-power Volt attack!"
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu's electric sacs crackled, and soon its body began to generate electricity at full power, turning into a golden yellow that was completely covered in electric light.
To it, this electricity is like blood flowing in its body; it can't harm it at all.
But the Salamence whose tail it was holding was obviously in trouble.
"Click!!"
The electric current traveled up its tail and swept through its entire body at an alarming speed, causing the Salamence to let out a wail of pain.
At this moment, the balance of power has shifted!

'
For the first time, Qingyu truly understood just how troublesome Crimson was.
This guy doesn't play by the rules at all!
However, if you think you can defeat yourself with just these things—
That's still 20,000 years too early!
"Salamander, use Tackle! Slam your tail into the ground!"
Knowing there was no good way to stop Pikachu, he simply gave up on defense and chose the same approach as Red.
Then let's hurt each other!
"Click!"
The Salamence, already enraged, didn't care about anything else. Even under the electric attack from Pikachu, it kept whipping its tail and slamming it into the ground repeatedly and rapidly.
Each time it slammed into the ground, it was accompanied by a heavy thud and Pikachu's muffled groan.
Clearly, this is the moment to test patience.
Qingyu and Chihong, in perfect unison, did not give any extra commands, but silently waited for them to determine a winner.
The time lasted for almost a minute.
It wasn't until Salamence flapped its wings again that Pikachu, finally exhausted, lost all its strength and ability, loosened its limbs tightly wrapped around Salamence's tail, and flew backward.
Then, it was caught steadily by Crimson.
"Pikachu————"
Pikachu struggled to open its eyes with its last bit of strength, seemingly wanting to say something to Red, but Red blocked its way.
"It's okay, you did a great job, Pikachu."
"Let's leave the rest to the other partners."
The gentle, bright red smile quickly put Pikachu at ease. Then, its head lolled to the side, and it lost consciousness, collapsing into his arms and temporarily losing its ability to battle.
Despite the initial defeat, Crimson remained calm and looked up at Salamence, who had just been battling Pikachu.
Teacher Yu's main player, the formidable sniper who crushed several students' championship dreams today, is now covered in wounds thanks to his own and Pika's efforts.
Not only was its body covered in burn marks left by the relentless bombardment of Volt attacks, and electric shocks could be heard from its wings and chest from time to time, but it was also swaying from side to side when it stood on the ground, clearly showing signs of exhaustion.
Although they won, the winnings were not by much.
Qingyu also noticed this, so he decisively pressed the button in the center of the Poké Ball to recall the exhausted Salamence.
"A very nice Pikachu. It seems you trust it a lot."
"And it did not disappoint you, showing an aura that was no less than that of Salamence."
"Your bond must be incredibly strong for it to fight so hard to win for you, right?"
Qingyu habitually offered a few comments, her eyes filled with expectation and praise for the top student as she looked at Chihong.
If Nemo is the top student who has received his true teachings and is ahead of other students in practical combat and tactical development, then Crimson is the legendary "top student from the next class".
His fighting style is clearly the same as the Kanto style of wild battles, but it's still refreshing and makes you want to praise him.
"The battle isn't over yet, Teacher Yu."
Red shook his head at Qingyu's praise, then looked down at Pikachu in his arms again.
"Pikachu, take a rest first."
After putting it back into the Poké Ball, Crimson took a deep breath and took out a second Poké Ball from his pocket.
"Teacher Yu, there shouldn't be a rule in the Padia Victory Road that prohibits Mega Evolution, right?"
"Of course not."
Qingyu immediately understood his meaning and nodded knowingly.
"Apart from not being able to directly attack the trainer, feel free to use any moves you have."
"good!"
Its crimson eyes sharpened, and it immediately threw another Poké Ball.
"I choose you, Bulbasaur!"
A flash of red light appeared, and the crimson starter Pokémon Venusaur appeared on the field.
Judging from its enormous size, which surpasses that of a typical Venusaur, and its huge blooming flowers that exude a unique fragrance, Red must have put a lot of effort into cultivating it, managing to produce a "muscle man" in just six months.
If you also consider Mega Evolution, its strength is naturally not to be underestimated.
However, compared to the Mega Charizard Y he used when battling himself in the game, this Venusaur was much less intimidating.
"Bulbasaur, show us the results of our training!"
While Qingyu was still observing the Venusaur, Chihong had already revealed the Key Stone on his wrist, and his expression turned sharp.
As for where Red, a Kanto native, got his evolution stones, well, he's not far from the Hoenn region. Maybe he just bumped into some rich guy on the road and got a starter kit as a gift? (laughs)
Just like his best buddy Qinglv.
It seems that after Qinglv mentioned it casually, she caught Sakaki's eye, and her rigorous "champion" training has only just ended.
Come to think of it, these two kids' timelines seem to have been somewhat influenced by me, the transmigrator. Their current strength might even be stronger than they were at the same time in the original story.
In the manga, it took Red a little over a year to become champion, but it's only been less than six months now.
Qingyu suddenly realized that she seemed to have unknowingly nurtured two more "little monsters".
Wait, the important thing right now isn't all that nonsense!
Noticing that Crimson was radiating light and had begun to synchronize its thoughts with Venusaur, Qingyu immediately reached out and took out his second Poké Ball.
"Since it's Venusaur, then let's use it as our opponent!"
"Go, Lucario!"
As the outline of Mega Venusaur gradually became clear, Lucario, the champion in Qingyu's hands, also appeared on the field.
To be fair, under normal circumstances, Qingyu would try to avoid such an extremely difficult disadvantageous matchup, since Venusaur's grass and poison are almost useless against Lucario, and it's already far behind at the start.
But Qingyu really liked Chihong, such an interesting little genius, so he wanted to test his current level in all aspects.
If it were a regular student, they would probably be terrified and crying by now.
And Red is indeed different from others. As a newborn calf, the word "fear" doesn't exist in his dictionary. On the contrary, he became even more excited when he saw Lucario.
He probably realized that he wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to see if he could shine under pressure.
"Venusaur, Sleep Powder!"
The moment the light on Venusaur disappeared, Crimson immediately gave instructions, using the fighting style he had learned at the Celadon Gym.
A naked scalping at the start?
So you have such poor manners?
Qingyu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by his choice.
However, isn't it a bit of a sleight of hand to try and hypnotize someone in front of Teacher Yu?
"Lucario, use Extreme Speed to dodge!"
"Luca!"
Lucario still starts with zero frames. Its sturdy body, honed over a long period of time, allows it to use Extreme Speed as a basic attack, making it perfect for dodging moves.
It can keep a flexible eye on the opponent's situation and close the distance in an instant when necessary, catching the opponent off guard.
But soon, Qingyu realized that something seemed off about Chihong's idea.
Venusaur's Sleep Powder doesn't seem to be targeting Lucario, but rather—
The whole room?
"Wait—retreat first, then use the defensive skill; the area of effect should be as large as possible!"
Qingyu immediately adjusted his command, and at the same time gained a completely new understanding of Crimson.
As expected of someone from Kanto, they can even turn hypnotic powder into a wide-ranging, indiscriminate crowd control technique?
