Chapter 75 The Rainy Day Annihilates the Song Team!
The surging, turbid current rushed toward the two fire-attribute spirits.
Rainy days and the Jade Fate: If the opponent is unprepared at the start, this torrent of turbid water can almost immediately declare the end of the match.
However, top-ranked matches are naturally not that simple.
The red light from the retracted spirit and the transparent shield of [Guard] lit up almost simultaneously.
The next instant, Torkoal was returned to its Poké Ball, and in its place came Jumpluff, which is resistant to water-type attacks.
Charizard, by using Protect as soon as it appeared, perfectly absorbed this torrent.
A crisis vanished in an instant.
This on-the-spot command is truly worthy of Boss Sakaki!
Xia Chi felt this way.
But what will you do next?
"Poliwag King, use it again on Charizard!"
"King Thorn Dragon, prepare to use Muddy Current!"
At the command, Poliwag King clapped its hands at Charizard.
One more time—the next three moves a hit Pokémon can only use the last move it previously used.
And one of the moves Charizard recently used was Protect!
As we all know, guarding has a characteristic that "the probability of success decreases with continuous use".
So "Sakaki" is about to find himself in a predicament—
Is it a gamble to see Charizard use its defensive ability this time, or to switch to a backline unit to tank the damage from Kingdra's deliberate slowdown with Muddy Current?
The ability to command in real time leaves "Sakaki" with little time to think.
Without hesitation, he replaced the main damage dealer, Charizard, with Torkoal to restart Sunny Day.
The muddy current instantly submerged the shuttlecock and the newly appeared coal turtle, but unfortunately the weather had already changed.
Even though the Jade Thorn Dragon King was affected, the turbid current under the clear sky did not cause much damage.
At the same time, Shuttlecock also used its core crowd control move, Hypnotic Powder, on the output turret, Kingdra!
The dark green energy powder drifted leisurely toward the Thorn Dragon King under the clearing sky.
"King Thorn Dragon, get out of the way!"
Xia Chi wasn't just making things up; the hypnotic powder itself only has a 75% hit rate in the game.
With this amazing skill, you might be lucky enough to reduce your hit rate to 50%!
Unfortunately, Kingdra's [Easy Swim] ability no longer works under sunny weather. Kingdra, which had just released Muddy Water, couldn't escape the Sleep Powder and thus entered a sweet dream.
The comments section erupted in celebration.
"Hilarious! You slept with someone your whole life, and now you've finally got what you deserve, hahaha!"
"How can there be such a reliable spirit on the back! And such a despicable spirit on the front!"
"Quickly take out your invincible, rotten mushroom and sleep with it!"
"The Viridian Gym Leader is really something. Torkoal's Sunny Day ability is incredibly useful. It not only disables Kingdra's 'Easy Swim' ability but also activates Jumpluff's 'Chlorophyll' ability, immediately widening the speed gap."
"I guess the Politoed Frog King is going to replace the Mosquito Coil Frog King in preparation for the weather battle. Sigh, the boring weather war has begun."
"."
Xia Chi didn't feel much emotional distress when the Thorn Dragon King was put to sleep.
Because from beginning to end, his team was not simply a rainy day team.
Switching to a mosquito coil and a frog to steal the weather? Not a chance!
"Come back, Kingdra! Poliwag, Song of the End!"
Xia Chi's command resounded like thunder across the battlefield.
On a sunny day, the green frog king with curly hair on its head dances and leaps, playing its song of doom.
This is another extremely uncommon move in real-world combat – Song of the End.
After the song is played, the spirit that hears it will enter a near-death state one minute later.
That is, losing the ability to fight!
The reason it's considered unpopular in reality is that although the effect of destroying songs is powerful, it also has many limitations.
The effect of Perish Song is not effective against weaker Pokémon, and the effect of Perish Song will automatically disappear after the Poké Ball is recalled.
These two almost fatal conditions naturally led to the unpopularity of [Song of the End].
However, none of this is a problem in the game—
All Pokémon are set to a fair level of 50, so there is no such thing as Perish Song not working.
More importantly, in doubles, there is a characteristic that is not as prominent: shadow tag.
When a Pokémon with the [Shadow Tag] ability is on the field, all non-Ghost-type Pokémon of the opposing team cannot escape or be traded!
This is also why the "Song Annihilation" tactic is not popular in the game.
[Song of the End] is already an unpopular move, and you're adding an even less popular [Shadow Tag] ability?
After all, it's only been a game for a year. What genius could have come up with this idea?
Thus, it is only today that this classic underworld tactic has made its first appearance in the world.
Xia Chi went even further and evolved it into the ultimate form, the "Rainy Day Annihilation Song Team"!
------
Meanwhile, in the Kanto region, in the city of Tokiwa.
Xiao Yin stared blankly at the battle log on TV.
Song of the End, what kind of move is that?
After all, he was just a thirteen-year-old boy. No matter how talented he was, his understanding of Pokémon and moves was limited by his experience and not comprehensive.
However, he could see the effect clearly. A minute later, all the elves affected by the Song of the End were on the verge of death.
Unless the sprite is recalled.
Little Silver immediately ordered, "Coal Turtle, come back! Jumpluff, use Sleep Powder on Poliwag!"
The command was given, but only the shuttlecock started to move, while the coal turtle remained motionless.
"Come back, Coal Turtle!"
Little Silver called out anxiously, but Turtle remained unmoved, as if its special ability was slow start.
"It's no use, that Gothic lady's ability is [Shadow Tag]."
A deep, magnetic, steady male voice came from behind.
Startled, Little Silver turned around and saw that it was Sakaki, who had returned sometime earlier. He exclaimed in surprise, "Dad?"
The usually stern-faced boss, Sakaki, looked at his son with a hint of tenderness in his eyes and nodded, saying, "Keep fighting. Focus fire on Miss Goth, or she won't escape."
"Um!"
Silver nodded firmly, then commanded, "Coal Turtle, Heat Wave! Jumpluff, use Weather Ball on Miss Gothia!"
While Xiaoyin and Sakaki were talking, Xia Chi replaced Poliwag with Kingdra and ate the hypnotic powder.
As a result, it slept even more soundly, even though it was already asleep.
Little Silver ignored it. Even if the King Thorn Dragon woke up in the next second, it wouldn't be able to deal much damage under the clear sky.
The key is to take down Miss Gothia in a flash!
Silver's Coal Turtle is not just a weather support character, but also has the important task of dealing damage.
That's why he's so eager to save Coal Turtle.
However, this hot air, which should have been extremely powerful under the clear sky, was kept out by a transparent barrier.
Also successfully defended were the [weather ball] that came along with the shuttlecock.
"How disgusting!"
The countdown at the bottom of the screen is like a Damocles' sword hanging over your head.
When Xiao Yin battled against his "idol," he experienced for the first time the intense, visceral feeling of wanting to punch someone through the screen.
Behind him, the man spoke again.
"Don't let anger cloud your judgment, Silver."
Sakaki said in a deep voice, "Remember, the mark of a mature man is that he doesn't show his emotions."
"Leave this battle to me."
