Chapter 390: The Top Four of the Second Battle Competition

March 12.

The top four players who will have the chance to challenge the king have appeared, and the competition today and tomorrow will be the top four showdown.

The four players are.

‘Dragon Master’ X. Drake.

When participating in the competition last year, not all the dragon-type Pokémon of Drake’s team reached the strongest stage. After all, it has become a common understanding among trainers today that dragon-type Pokémon are late bloomers.

Among the top four players, Drake’s team is recognized as the strongest, that is, from the surface, both the level and the combat power are very strong.

‘Surgeon’ Trafalgar D. Law.

In the first Pokémon Battle Competition, Law’s strength did not even make it to the top eight, and finally stopped at the top sixteen.

After a year of hard training, Law has made obvious progress. With two-color domineering and ninjutsu, coupled with his relatively stable and calm command style, he can fight all kinds of fancy and exciting battles.

In terms of viewing, the cooperation between Law and his Pokémon can be called a gorgeous performance.

‘Dirty Things’ Ben Beckman.

Beckman's title came from the player community. No one wants to fight Beckman, and every player who has fought him has very radical comments.

Because fighting with others is a passionate collision of blood boiling, while fighting with Beckman is pure humiliation, and the key is that you can't win.

Because Ben Beckman's Pokémon have real strength, but they just like to play dirty tricks. It is said that it is because there are a few more partners from the ninja world on the ship, so they started to go against the rules.

Edward Newgate, the "Father on the Sea".

Because he likes to let unfamiliar trainers and Pokémon call him daddy, he has to ask the opponent at the beginning of each battle whether to call him daddy.

It should be said that although Newgate has been a little idle since entering the Pokémon era, after the lessons of the first battle competition, he has also trained his Pokémon in this year.

In the battle, Newgate howled from time to time, and Pokémon could also burst into a small universe. Seeing this, Dark thought they were going to shock the world with a set of bond evolutions.

Today's opponents are - Luo vs. Beckman.

Two players who like to use their brains to fight Pokémon. If there is no significant terrain or attribute advantage, then their battle will be very tense.

Before the start of this game, the two had already studied each other's fighting routines.

First of all, Luo's lineup.

Scorpion King, Mimikyuu, Cat Boss, Magneto, Daruma Baboon, Metagross.

The standard five plus one quasi-god champion template.

In the first Pokémon Battle Tournament, Luo's Scorpion King and Metagross were still Scorpion and Metal Monster, and their combat power had not yet reached the highest stage.

After the evolution of these two Pokémon, the combat power soared, especially Metagross, which swept all the way in the second Pokémon Battle Tournament and was almost unmatched.

On the other side, Beckman's lineup.

Poison Rose, Rhydon, Venusaur, Pidgeot, Phrysis, Sand Eater.

Among them, Poison Rose needs a Light Stone to evolve into Roserade, and Light Stone is a rarer item than Devil Fruit in the sea, and it is very difficult to get it, so Beckman may have reached a high enough level, but just has no evolution items.

And Beckman's lineup may not be very famous to most people now.

But if Charlotte comes to take a look, she may be scared to death.

Whether in terms of attributes or playing style, Luo has a huge advantage.

The reason is that his team has two steel attribute Pokémon and a [Flying + Ground] Scorpion King.

Luo's lineup itself is very strong in frontal combat ability. Beckman's level is not advantageous, and he doesn't like the frontal hard-fighting style of play, so naturally he won't fight head-on with Luo.

The core of Beckman's playing style is [Poison], [Grass], and [Big Word Explosion].

Previously, facing most opponents, Beckman's playing style was basically the same set, because this set was enough.

At the beginning, Poison Rose was first used to scatter Poison Diamonds, and then Rhydon was used to use Invisible Rock.

These two skills can cause damage to the replaced Pokémon, and the former can also put the Pokémon into the poisoned state.

Poison spikes are only useful for Pokémon on the ground, and Rhydon's invisible rock is to control the actions of the replaced Pokémon in the air, and then knock it down to the ground while it is stiff.

The following battle is very torturous.

Poison Rose uses paralysis powder, parasitic seeds, and poisonous triple combos to restore its own physical strength while constantly increasing the damage caused by the [poisoned] state.

Bulbasaur uses hypnotic powder, parasitic seeds, poison powder and photosynthesis to continuously restore blood and torture the opponent, causing the opponent to continuously lose blood while sleeping.

If the opponent replaces with a fire-type Pokémon that can kill Poison Rose and Bulbasaur instantly, then Beckman will let Phrysis and Pidgeot play.

Phrysis's big explosion is basically a trick of mutual destruction. As long as the target is not a steel-type Pokémon, it is not a problem to replace it.

At worst, Pidgeot is a backup to maintain stability. The move [Blow Away] can force the target Pokémon off the field and replace it with another Pokémon at random.

Finally, Beckman's Rhydon has the characteristic of [Hard Head], which will not be damaged by the reaction of its own skills. This allows Rhydon to fully release the general-type ultimate move [Sacrificial Charge] that hurts the enemy a thousand times but hurts itself eight hundred times.

And Rhydon also has the moves of [Big Explosion] and [Break Everything] that can kill both parties.

As for Sand Eater, it is a big blood cow when facing water-type Pokémon. Its characteristics can greatly improve the defense of Sand Eater when it is attacked by water attributes.

Not only that, it also has various skills to strengthen double defense, which can withstand countless waves of damage and let the enemy be exhausted to death in the state of [Poison].

This set of play can be said to be quite disgusting. The fact that Beckman can reach the top four is enough to show that other trainers are helpless against this play.

However, Luo is different.

The two steel-type Pokémon will not be affected by any poison-type damage at all, and the flying Scorpion King in the sky will not be hit by the poison spikes, and the ground attribute can reduce the damage of the invisible rock.

This makes Beckman's play unable to start from the beginning.

What makes Beckman even more helpless is that no matter whether it is the big explosion of Flexis or the big explosion of Rhydon, there is no way to force the two steel-type Pokémon to be replaced.

That's why it's said that in this duel, Luo has a significant attribute advantage over Beckman.

The battle has been going on for half an hour, and the battle between the two sides is still going on.

Luo let Magneto carry Sandburger away at the beginning, and then he was replaced by the explosion of Phrysis.

Beckman had no way to deal with this.

Magneto's electric and steel attribute configuration means that there is only one Sandburger in Beckman's team that can cause obvious damage to it, and Beckman has no choice.

He didn't even dare to let Pidgeot take off.

If Daruma Baboon or Metagross came on, it would be even more finished.

After losing a steel-type Pokémon, Luo obviously couldn't send Metagross on the field.

Once Metagross was replaced by Rhydon, Beckman's play style could be activated, and Luo would be passive.

Luo chose to let Scorpion King, who was also not hurt by the spirit, on the field.

Facing Scorpion King, the only player Beckman could send was Pidgeot.

Scorpio's flying attribute somewhat restrains the other three Pokémon, and it is easy to be in a passive situation in terms of mobility.

According to the original trend, it should be the higher-level Scorpio that will send Pidgeot off the field.

Law has been a trainer longer than Beckman, and the level of his Pokémon is basically higher than that of Beckman's team.

However, at the last moment, Beckman asked Pidgeot to use the skill [Blow Away] to gamble.

The gamble succeeded, and Cat Boss was replaced.

As soon as Cat Boss came on stage, he was hit by Poisonous Spike and Invisible Rock and suffered double damage.

Then Beckman let Poison Rose come on stage and use paralysis powder to fill the whole field. Luo did not dare to replace other Pokémon for a while.

Cat Boss also lost his combat ability.

However, Cat Boss relied on skills such as Substitution Technique and Shadow Clone Technique to drag for several minutes before falling.

Afterwards, Luo directly sent Daruma Baboon to the field and launched a big word explosion.

Beckman made a wrong prediction. He didn't expect that Law would let Daruma Baboon appear under the triple coverage of [Poison Spike], [Invisible Rock], and [Paralysis Powder], so he sent out Pidgeot to deal with Scorpio or Metagross.

As a result, Pidgeot was hit by a big word explosion and fell to the ground on the spot.

But even at this point, Beckman still had a calm expression and commanded calmly.

He had no choice but to send out Rhydon at this moment.

And Law was also very clear about this, so he replaced Daruma Baboon, who was not in good condition, and sent out Scorpio.

The battle continued. No matter how hard Rhydon tried, he could not face the round-robin battle of the two Pokémon Scorpio and Mimikyu.

When Rhydon lost his ability to fight, the outcome of this battle was almost decided.

On Luo's side, there were still: Metagross with full health, Daruma Baboon with a negative state, and Mimikyu with half health.

On Beckman's side, there were: Poison Rose with full health and Venusaur with full health.

The two Poison and Grass Pokémon will definitely be killed by Metagross.

The Steel and Psychic Metagross has the same resistance to attacks as Magnetron. It is immune to poison damage, and its Grass damage is halved.

Beckman felt that it was enough to get to this point. He didn't have much desire for the championship. He just came here with his friends to join in the fun, so he decisively admitted defeat.

"This time I came to participate on a whim. The time to cultivate Pokémon is relatively short and the number is small. Next time, I won't use a fixed style and team."

"You won't meet me next time. If you have the ability, win the third championship and challenge the championship road."

Luo grinned, very confident.

What he meant was that he would become the winner of the second championship and defeat the Four Heavenly Kings to become the new champion.
