Chapter 473: Invincible Tyrant
"Torkoal with the Drought ability?"
Basalt smiled disdainfully.
If Tyranitar's weather could be snatched away by a Pokémon of the same level, Basalt would consider buying a block of tofu to crash into and die. And the facts were indeed as Basalt expected; the Sandstorm weather only paused slightly, then resumed operation very quickly.
Torkoal's "Drought" ability had no effect at all. Override? Non-existent!
Immediately after, Stealth Rock activated for the third time, causing considerable damage to Torkoal. However, Torkoal's Defense was very strong, so there was no frantic loss of HP.
"This Stealth Rock is still a bit too troublesome! Even without forced switching means, it's enough to give every newly entered Pokémon a head-on blow."
Dong Lin'er's mouth tasted slightly bitter. With Basalt's growth speed, he felt his position as captain probably wouldn't last long.
Yu Wei obviously sensed this too, so he shouted, "Torkoal, Rapid Spin!"
Rapid Spin, this is not only an attack move but also can shake off binding moves, Leech Seed, and clear Stealth Rock, Spikes, Sticky Web, etc., with very powerful effects.
Torkoal spun very fast. How fast? When spinning at full speed, it could even briefly stay in the air. through the big screen projection, everyone saw Torkoal in a high-speed spinning state, the hard edge of its shell seemingly turning into a sharp cutting blade.
When the blade passed through the Stealth Rock, the huge rock images were soon cut in two, unable to float anymore, and finally fell to the ground.
"Torkoal, well done!"
The people of the Fire God Club were greatly encouraged.
But the next second, Basalt taught Torkoal a big lesson. Just as Torkoal landed, a terrifying Earthquake swept over again, and Torkoal sank directly. Because Tyranitar grasped the timing perfectly; the moment Earthquake swept over was exactly the moment Torkoal finished Rapid Spin.
After the Earthquake, Torkoal panted heavily, its body trembling slightly. Even with amazing Defense, under the double weakness to Ground-type moves, it inevitably felt difficult to endure.
"Torkoal, Inferno!"
Yu Wei clenched his fist. As long as Inferno hits and Tyranitar falls into a "Burn" status causing its Attack to drop sharply, this battle is still fightable. Otherwise, it's GG directly!
Boom!
Terrifying high-temperature flames swept out from Torkoal's mouth, turning into a thick pillar of fire rushing straight at Tyranitar.
However, at the critical moment, a semi-transparent light shield appeared on Tyranitar, blocking the flames firmly outside.
Defensive move: Protect!
"Ty~ran~"
Tyranitar let out a thunderous roar, appearing somewhat angry. Rock-type energy surged frantically around it, and huge rock projectiles began to form.
Yu Wei's expression changed, and he quickly shouted, "Self-Destruct!"
This was preparing to sacrifice Torkoal.
Torkoal only paused for a moment before immediately executing the trainer's instruction. The high-temperature energy in its body detonated, forming a mushroom cloud in the center of the field, accompanied by overflowing firelight.
The temperature of the flame was high, and the energy of the shock wave was also strong. But when it fell on Tyranitar's super-strong shell, it seemed so insignificant. Except for a little dust, there was nothing else on Tyranitar's shell. After all, the two sides were far apart, and Tyranitar was not at the center of the explosion.
Injured? Non-existent!
"Such strong defense!"
A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in the hearts of the audience. This Tyranitar already had the demeanor of a superstar trainer's ace Pokémon in the professional league. Magnificent! Powerful! Unrivaled!
Conversely, the Fire God Club was just a low-ranking club in the First Division League. And Yu Wei was just an ordinary player in the Fire God Club. Comparing the two, anyone could see the gap in strength between the two sides. No need for buffs; Tyranitar could easily sweep the team!
"Fortunately, I didn't face Senior Brother. Otherwise, this straight man definitely wouldn't show mercy because of our acquaintance."
Rong Rong patted her chest, feeling a lingering fear in her heart. But then she spat and muttered with a pout, "Pah! What bullshit Senior Brother, just a Junior Brother."
With Yu Wei's three Pokémon defeated consecutively, the battlefield began to change. The Standard Field retreated, replaced by the Grass Field.
Taking advantage of the disappearance of Stealth Rock, Yu Wei decisively released his ace Pokémon Talonflame.
Talonflame is a Fire/Flying bird Pokémon. Its back is red, belly mostly gray-white, wing tips and tail feather tips black. Looking closely, the patterns on the wing tips, back, and belly resemble flames, and there are yellow stripes on the tail feathers.
Wings flapping slightly, Talonflame first added a "Tailwind" buff to itself, further increasing its already swift speed.
Conversely, Tyranitar just looked up at Talonflame, eyes flashing with cold light.
"Ty~ran~"
Tyranitar let out a roar. Immediately after, everyone saw two dim lights appear on Talonflame.
"This is... Screech?"
Yu Wei's heart twitched fiercely, disbelieving, "How did the effect of Taunt expire so quickly?"
Moves like Taunt only last for three turns in games. In real battles, there are no turns, but there are also time limits. As for how long it lasts, it mainly depends on the casting Pokémon's skill proficiency and application level, as well as the opponent Pokémon's resistance.
Darmanitan wasn't a Dark-type Pokémon, and its development of Taunt could only be described as mediocre. Conversely, as a Dark-type Pokémon, Tyranitar was naturally familiar with Dark-type moves, not to mention receiving the inheritance of the Heavenly King Tyranitar. Moreover, the duration from Taunt until now wasn't short.
Screech hit, and Talonflame's Defense was greatly reduced. Thus, the damage from the sandstorm also began to increase significantly.
Yu Wei realized something was wrong and quickly shouted, "Talonflame, U-turn!"
Sandstorm is a Rock-type move (weather effect), causing quadruple damage to the Fire/Flying dual-type Talonflame. And Tyranitar's sandstorm was exceptionally intense; Talonflame was already struggling to withstand it. Now with defense weakened, it was truly unplayable. Because Talonflame didn't have very good moves to deal with Tyranitar.
Yu Wei's original plan was to use Talonflame's speed and agility to grind. But now, grinding was obviously not a good choice.
Seeing this, Basalt didn't stop him, just said faintly, "Tyranitar, Stealth Rock!"
Letting Talonflame fly rapidly and hit Tyranitar's rock armor as a stream of light, Tyranitar didn't even frown. No feeling at all! And watching the huge rocks float on the field again, Yu Wei felt like vomiting blood.
After all this, it was all useless work!
For the fifth Pokémon, Yu Wei released Houndoom.
"Want to use Destiny Bond?"
Basalt sneered repeatedly. He had suffered losses from the Houndoom family several times and wouldn't fall for it again.
When Houndoom appeared, Stealth Rock hit, directly knocking its HP below half.
"Houndoom, Nasty Plot!" Yu Wei ordered a buff.
But in fact, this was inducing Basalt to attack forcefully. Of course, if Basalt didn't attack, Houndoom wouldn't let Tyranitar off easy after successfully buffing. This was a dilemma.
However, with a "Taunt" from Tyranitar, Yu Wei's plan fell through directly.
"It's over!"
On the Fire God Club side, Rong Shan sighed secretly. The battle had completely entered garbage time. The gap between Yu Wei and Basalt was too big.
According to Rong Shan's estimation, apart from himself, no one in the Fire God Club was qualified to fight Basalt. Even he himself must send out his ace Pokémon first and go all out without relaxing for a moment. Crucially, who wins and who loses was hard to say.
This wasn't to say Rong Shan wasn't strong enough; it was just that Basalt's Sandstorm team countered Fire-type Pokémon too much. Ground Pokémon restricted by Quicksand Domain directly. Flying Pokémon weakened four times by Sandstorm directly; even without being hit by attacks, HP dropped rapidly. If there was Stealth Rock beforehand, explosion directly.
And Yu Wei was inferior to Basalt in strength, and his attributes were at an absolute disadvantage. How to win?
Soon, Houndoom fell. Immediately after, Coalossal was also killed by Tyranitar's Earthquake.
As for Talonflame, it was the most aggrieved because when it came out the second time, it was instantly taken away by "Stealth Rock," leaving no room for operation.
Winning six battles in a row, Tyranitar directly completed the feat of a 1v6 sweep.
"Ty~ran~"
Tyranitar let out a thunderous roar. This was it after evolution. Sometimes, Tyranitar even envied its own strength. I'm so fierce!
"Tyranitar! Tyranitar!"
At the Sanctuary Club match site, thousands of spectators shouted. Because this battle was so enjoyable to watch! Truly worthy of the Desert Tyrant!
"Ty~ran~"
Hearing this, Tyranitar couldn't help but float even more, roaring frequently to respond to the audience.
"This guy, getting carried away after evolution!"
Seeing Tyranitar's appearance, Basalt shook his head and laughed.
Yu Wei was just a very mediocre trainer in the First Division League, not even average. Tyranitar got carried away, but Basalt didn't. Because Basalt knew that the First Division League had hidden dragons and crouching tigers, especially the captains of the top-ranking clubs, all had some tricks. As for people like Adilhan, Kong Linfang, Long Feiyu, etc., they were ceiling figures among Pro-level trainers.
Basalt wanting to dominate the First Division League? Difficult, difficult, difficult!
However, knowing is one thing; Tyranitar was happy now, so Basalt dared not disturb it.
"Senior Brother, so strong!"
Stars appeared in Rong Rong's eyes. Although Basalt and Tyranitar just stood there, that demeanor fascinated her. And after this battle, Rong Rong wasn't the only one who became a fangirl.
