Chapter 453, Gym Battle
The fifteenth day of the trip to Kanto, fog.
When I woke up this morning, the entire gym and the entire forest were surrounded by fog. The visibility was only the gate, and nothing could be seen outside.
Yu Hai didn't know whether the climate here was like this today or all year round. If there was frequent fog and the air was humid, it would not be friendly to the elderly.
They had breakfast together today, including him, Xia Bo, Xiao Ai, and the gym's Ju Zi, Xiao Qian, and those young apprentices.
The breakfast maids in the gym had prepared it. After breakfast, the young apprentices had homework and went to the open space to train elves together.
Yu Hai had nothing to do here. Training elves was fine. There would be a gym battle later. The elves could not consume too much physical strength. If they consumed too much physical strength during training, it would be embarrassing if they could not win the gym battle.
After Xia Bo and Ju Zi finished their breakfast, they sat down on the second floor to drink tea. Xiao Qian also asked the young apprentices to watch the battle in the corridor at Ju Zi's signal. They also wanted to start the gym battle.
"Ahai, right? A trainer from the Orange Islands," Xiao Qian knew about Yu Hai's background last night. It was Yu Hai who introduced himself during dinner.
But the two had a conflict yesterday. Xiao Qian will temporarily replace Kikuko in today's gym battle. She must win this gym battle. Testing trainers does not exist for such people. Stopping Yu Hai from getting the supernatural badge is her purpose of fighting.
For no other reason, it is because Yu Hai is an arsonist, and a bastard who is full of sophistry and shameless. Such a person does not deserve to get the badge.
"Master Xiao Qian, please give me more advice," Yu Hai smiled at the other party with a Poké Ball in his hand. After all, she is a cute girl, so he should be gentle later.
"Hmph, come out, Venusaur..." Xiao Qian snorted coldly, and was too lazy to look at this bastard who was full of sophistry. He threw out his initial Pokémon, the grass-type starter Pokémon from the Kanto region.
"Go, Gyarados..."
"Roar, roar, roar," Gyarados just appeared, the roar spread in all directions, the wind pressure brought by it shook the thick fog, and the visibility of the entire battlefield became much clearer.
"Oh no, it's the intimidation attribute," Xiao Qian saw that Venusaur was in a retreat state, and there were also the effects of a scary face and glaring, and the speed, attack, and defense were all reduced.
In fact, she had experienced the power of Gyarados yesterday, otherwise she would not have replaced Venusaur to fight the first game of the gym battle.
"Knowing that it was Venusaur, he still used Gyarados. This kid doesn't understand attribute restraint? Or is he arrogant?" Seeing this scene, Kikuko glanced at Xia Bo.
"Who knows? The effect is not bad, isn't it?" Xia Bo smiled. He didn't understand the brain circuits of young people. Just let the young people do whatever they want, it's not him who is fighting the gym battle.
"Effect? Intimidation?" Kikuko also saw Venusaur retreating and the attack was reduced. These are all minor problems. Just use special attacks instead, which will not have much impact on Venusaur.
If it is a large-scale competition like the Quartz Conference, Xiao Qian can eliminate the intimidation effect of Gyarados by changing Pokémon.
"Gyarados, spray fire," Yu Hai's Gyarados can spray fire, and it is not impossible to fight a mere grass-type Pokémon.
"Bulbasaur, Sunshine Flame," Xiao Qian shouted to Bulbasaur immediately after hearing the spray fire.
"Dana," the flower on Bulbasaur's back closed and was quickly covered by yellow and green energy spheres. When the charge is completed, the whole flower will emit a white light, and then the flower will open and release a beam of hot yellow light to Gyarados.
"How can it be so fast?" Yu Hai saw the two Pokémon release the big move to fight. It stands to reason that Sunshine Flame needs to be charged for a round before it can be used, and it is impossible to use it so quickly.
However, when he saw his shadow, he suddenly realized that it was related to the sun, because the appearance of Gyarados briefly blew away the thick fog and revealed the sun.
So now it is a sunny day, and Bulbasaur's Sunshine Flame does not need to be charged and can be directly launched.
Thinking of this, he immediately changed his tactics and shouted to Gyarados: "Gyarados, pray for rain..."
"Roar," Gyarados was at a disadvantage after the battle with Venusaur, but the Sun Flame was not strong enough and finally failed to hit it.
After hearing the rain prayer, it immediately looked up to the sky and roared, summoning a large dark cloud, covering the sunny sky, and it started to rain.
"Vulpes, use parasitic seeds," Xiao Qian saw the rain prayer, but she did not stop it, but planned to use this opportunity to control the huge Gyarados.
"Roar," Gyarados had just prayed for the dark clouds, but before it rained, it was entangled by vines. These vines were the seeds emitted from the flowers on Venusaur's back, attached to its body and sprouted, and vines continued to grow to entangle its body.
These vines can not only absorb Gyarados's physical strength, feed Venusaur itself, but also become tighter and tighter.
"Gyarados, use jet fire to burn the vines on yourself..." Yu Hai did not expect that just a moment of negligence would turn his advantage into a disadvantage.
Gyarados came out and blew away the thick fog, which helped the opponent a lot. Trainers who can seize opportunities have good vision. In order to pray for rain, Gyarados was bound by the parasitic seeds.
"Roar," Gyarados took advantage of the vines not wrapping around his head and immediately spit out jet flames at the vines on his body.
This move was weakened in the rain, but it was enough to burn the vines on his body.
But how could Xiaoqian let Gyarados get what he wanted!
"Vulpes, use hypnotic powder," Xiaoqian suddenly smiled cunningly, thinking that as long as Gyarados was hypnotized, Gyarados would lose.
"Gyarados, spray flames to burn those powders," Yu Hai laughed. The opponent really thought of using powder moves to attack in the rain.
Even if Gyarados didn't spray flames, these hypnotic powders couldn't reach Gyarados in the rain, but it was still necessary to take precautions. He didn't want to fall.
As the spray flames appeared many times, the rain continued to evaporate, and the thick fog covering the gym appeared again. The rain falling from the sky also turned into water vapor, which increased the visibility of the thick fog again.
"Bulbasaur, Leaf Blade," Xiao Qian saw that the hypnotic powder was ineffective and immediately asked Bulbasaur to attack with a grass-type move.
"Gyarados, use Iron Tail to block..."
Now no one can see anyone, and they have completely lost their target and direction. Everyone can only judge the direction of the attack based on their previous positions. In the thick fog, they can only hear the sound of leaves breaking through the air.
"Roar," Gyarados didn't care so much, and immediately raised his shining metallic tail to block in front of him, just in time to hear the sound of clanging.
"Gyarados, storm," Yu Hai couldn't see the battlefield clearly, even Gyarados couldn't see it clearly, so he could only let Gyarados clear the field.
"Roar..."
With Gyarados's roar, the storm blew away all the thick fog and the rain clouds in the sky. Fortunately, the clouds at a higher altitude didn't blow away, and now it was cloudy at most.
After the storm stopped, everyone could see the battlefield clearly. Gyarados and Venusaur's positions did not change, and they were still standing in the original position.
"Gyarados, freezing ray," Yu Hai didn't use fire, but ice instead, which could also restrain Venusaur.
"Vulpecula, hold on," Xiao Qian saw the white beam of light and could only let Venusaur hold on. There was no better way now.
"Hold on?" Hearing this, Yu Hai couldn't help but look at Venusaur who was struggling to hold on, wondering why the other party didn't run. Although the speed was reduced by two levels, it should be avoided at the first time.
Then, he saw many vines growing under Venusaur's body, and whispered: "Is that rooting? Damn, no wonder it can't run, no wonder it can't fight, it doesn't recover as much as it fights, what's the point of fighting..."
After realizing this, he shouted to Gyarados again: "Spray flames..."
Since the opponent doesn't want to move, he will set fire to it until the opponent is willing to move. Anyway, the storm has blown away the dark clouds, the rain is gone, and the power of fire-type moves has returned.
The opponent must have taken advantage of the thick fog just now to let Venusaur use rooting, and he almost misjudged it.
Rooting, taking root in the ground, can restore your own physical strength every round, because it is rooted in the ground, it cannot take back the Pokémon.
"Did you find it?" Xiao Qian smiled slightly, and the corners of her mouth finally rose at this moment, as if she was laughing at her opponent's slowness. She raised her hand and shouted to Venusaur: "Vulpes, Sun Flame..."
"What? There is no sun," Yu Hai didn't care too much, and shouted at the same time: "Gyarados, Water Cannon..."
"Roar," Gyarados opened his mouth and spit out a large ball of water, which collided with Venusaur's Sun Flame, and the two Pokémons had another wave.
"Gyarados, Jet Flame," Yu Hai didn't bother to care about the wave, and the water mist stirred up could not see the situation clearly, so he directly let Gyarados use Jet Flame to attack the rooting position of Venusaur.
The Sun Flame just now should have been charged when defending. Obviously such a beautiful girl, why did she play the routine more dirty than him? It's a bit confusing!
"Vulpes, avoid..."
Xiao Qian didn't let Venusaur take it hard this time. It had been used once just now, and Venusaur might not be able to use it again.
"Finally I'm willing to move," Yu Hai smiled. As long as the frog moves, it will be much easier to fight. "Gyarados, rush over and tie it up..."
You all know the snake's entanglement. This move is similar to the way that Gyarados uses its long body to entangle the opponent.
"Vulpes, extend the vine whip and use the parasitic seeds..."
"Gyarados, don't worry, freeze the teeth..."
Gyarados quickly swam its sturdy body and entangled Venusaur. Venusaur did not resist, but instead scattered seeds from its petals and bound Gyarados with the parasitic seeds. Both of them were trapped.
Gyarados's head could still move, and it lowered its head and bit Venusaur, freezing Venusaur.
"Use the vine whip to tie up its mouth," Xiao Qian asked Venusaur to use the vine whip just for this moment.
Gyarados wanted to retract his big mouth, but before he could retract it, he was tied up by Venusaur's vine whip, and his whole big mouth was tied tightly.
The moment the big mouth was tied up, the ice on Venusaur's body broke into pieces. Venusaur just shook his body and broke free from the ice. Except for being a little depressed, there was no sign of injury on his body.
"Gyarados, 100,000 volts," Yu Hai looked at Gyarados entangled with Venusaur, the parasitic seeds entangled with Gyarados, and the vine whip tied up Gyarados' big mouth.
I didn't expect this garlic turtle to be so difficult to deal with. If I had known, I would not have fought in close combat. Gyarados fell into passive mode instead.
At this time, Gyarados couldn't use his mouth or tail. He could only use 100,000 volts to break the situation, and it was a move that hurt the enemy 800 and hurt himself 1,000.
"Roar," the three corners on the top of Gyarados suddenly lit up with lightning, and electrocuted Venusaur who was tied up.
But the two Pokémons were tightly entangled. Gyarados electrocuted Venusaur to resist damage, and electrocuting itself was four times restrained.
In the end, without any surprise, Gyarados electrocuted himself, and Venusaur took back his vine whip as if nothing had happened.
"I lost," Yu Hai sighed. It was the first time he lost when he started against Gyarados.
He lost this battle, that's it, nothing to say.
He just felt that he couldn't use his skills. He still had many moves that he didn't use. He wasn't looking for excuses for his failure. After all, Storm didn't work. He finally chose close combat.
He used Storm once and it still blew away the thick fog. It's not that he didn't want to use it in battle, but it couldn't be used here. He didn't want to repair the house. If the storm blew the roof off, it would still be his fault.
He lost. The level of Venusaur was obviously higher than that of Gyarados. It should be senior level. Gyarados hasn't reached senior level yet. It's not unfair for him to lose.
The girl's command ability is not bad, and she is even dirtier than him. She was really shown off. Who is the time traveler? A time traveler was shown off by dirty routines.
There is an old saying in the previous life that goes, never underestimate anyone, even if the opponent is an animated character. Dirty routines are not exclusive to players. These big families can stand for hundreds of years, and the knowledge inheritance is countless. There will always be people who develop dirty routines.
"Old man Huo, I don't think this kid is that good!" Seeing that Gyarados lost the battle, Kikuko didn't need to watch it anymore. Although it was a disadvantageous game, Yu Hai played a mess, and it was impossible to see how high the command level was.
"Haha," Xia Bo smiled awkwardly and was silent. This kid was quite capable when facing himself, but why is he not good here? Did he hold back when he saw that the girl was pretty? Xia Bo thought so.
Yu Hai took back Gyarados, took out the second Poké Ball, and threw it towards the battlefield, "It's decided to be you, Scyther..."
"Swish," Scyther sharpened his sickle as soon as he appeared, and was eager to try. It longed for a strong enemy, and this opponent was definitely strong enough.
"Spymantis?" Xiao Qian looked at her Venusaur. In its current state, Venusaur couldn't stop the Spymantis in its prime.
Although Venusaur was relaxed, Gyarados's last Frozen Fang still caused considerable damage to Venusaur, and the Flying type restrained the Grass type.
It's a pity that she couldn't change Pokémon, otherwise she wouldn't be so passive, but she still had to fight. It was a good start to win the first game.
Yu Hai chose to use Spymantis because of the restraint. Since joining the gym, he hasn't seen Spymantis's panel for more than a month. A month ago, Spymantis had already entered the senior level.
Spymantis after a month...
