Chapter 483: A Perfect Debut
"Snor~lax~"
Curling its body, Snorlax's Defense increased again.
However, as a price, it was hit by another "Sky Uppercut" from Hakamo-o; its HP was already extremely unhealthy, panting heavily.
"Snorlax, Rest!"
Du Fei had the urge to laugh; Snorlax indeed held on. By then, Snorlax with Defense boosted by two stages, inherently strong Special Defense, plus amazing HP, a small dragon like Hakamo-o wouldn't be able to damage it at all.
Pseudo-legendary? Very awesome? Eat shit you!
"Snor~lax~"
Ears twitching slightly, Snorlax patted its belly and lay directly on the ground, entering sleep mode very quickly. Eating and sleeping were Snorlax's strong suits. It not only slept fast but also woke up fast after special training. This was also where Du Fei's confidence lay.
"Haka~mo~ Haka~mo~ Haka~mo~"
But just then, Hakamo-o let out a series of ear-piercing strange cries, jumping back and forth around Snorlax.
"Snor...lax..."
In its sleep, Snorlax frowned involuntarily. However, as Hakamo-o's strange cries intensified, Snorlax was finally awakened from its sleep.
"Damn it! Does Hakamo-o even know the 'Uproar' move?"
Du Fei felt his hands and feet go cold. Pokémon of the Kommo-o line were very rare in the whole world, so Du Fei didn't understand the move situation of this kind of Pokémon deeply. As a result, he suffered a big loss directly.
"Haka~mo~"
Another "Dragon Pulse" hit Snorlax, and Snorlax lay down unwillingly.
Hakamo-o took the first blood!
"This Hakamo-o's strength seems quite good."
Zhang Dongliang adjusted his glasses frame, appearing more and more expectant. After all, this was a pseudo-legendary! Thinking with his butt, he knew Basalt would definitely spend a lot of energy cultivating it carefully. So this Hakamo-o's strength was definitely far more than this.
"Go, Jolteon!"
Taking a deep breath, Du Fei sent out his second Pokémon. Jolteon is an Electric-type Pokémon, yellow body covered with white and yellow spikes on the neck and body, prickly like lightning and sharp like lightning rods.
"Jolt~"
Squatting slightly on all fours, Jolteon assumed an attack posture, the spikes on its body standing up one by one.
"Jolteon, Thunder Wave!"
Du Fei's playstyle began to tend towards conservative, preparing to weaken Hakamo-o's status first. Although Thunder Wave was hard to dodge, with "Aura" present, Hakamo-o had already detected the target position of the opponent's Thunder Wave the moment Jolteon prepared to launch it.
"Haka~mo~"
So Hakamo-o seized the opportunity, jumped the moment the opponent launched, and dodged it directly. This secret technique was learned by Hakamo-o from Lucario, testing the Pokémon's grasp of timing very much. Because if jumped too early, Jolteon hadn't launched the Thunder Wave yet and could adjust the direction in time. If jumped too late, the Thunder Wave was too fast and definitely couldn't be dodged. Just like dodging bullets, the best way is to carefully observe the opponent's eyes and hand movements.
Of course, this is easy to say, but the difficulty is definitely very high in practice. However, with aura power and certain special training, Hakamo-o could do it.
"Actually dodged it?"
Du Fei couldn't hold it anymore. Jolteon's speed was notoriously fast. Not only movement speed but also the speed of casting moves. Unexpectedly, it missed the opponent? Seen a ghost!
"Thunderbolt!"
Not believing in heresy, Du Fei launched the offensive again. But unfortunately, it was dodged by Hakamo-o again. King of Evasion, Hakamo-o online!
"Jolteon, Volt Tackle!"
Du Fei saw that this Hakamo-o's reaction speed was very fast. Although ranged attacks were safe, due to a certain distance, it would inevitably give the opponent some reaction time. To avoid this, melee combat was undoubtedly a good choice.
"Jolt~"
The spikes on Jolteon's body stood up again, enveloped in lightning, charging fiercely. Jolteon was too fast, incredibly fast. Although Hakamo-o could sense the opponent's attack route, due to the shortened distance, the reaction time left for it was insufficient, and its body couldn't make corresponding movements at all. Since that was the case, it could only block it.
"Haka~mo~"
Hakamo-o crossed its arms in front of its chest, its body flashing with faint red light, very dim.
Boom!
Volt Tackle hit Hakamo-o, pushing it fiercely, plowing a shallow mark on the ground. However, the scales covering Hakamo-o's body were like armor, distributing the force evenly, so the injury wasn't serious actually.
"Right now, Thunder!"
The corners of Du Fei's mouth rose slightly. Actually, Volt Tackle was just a means for Jolteon to get close to Hakamo-o. Jolteon's real killing move was the Electric-type ultimate move—Thunder! After all, Jolteon was ultimately a Pokémon excelling in Special Attack.
"Hehe."
Basalt's indifferent voice sounded, carrying a hint of mockery: "Counter!" (Basalt used "Double Redouble/Payback" terminology previously but described Counter effect - reflecting physical damage. Here context is confusing as Thunder is special. Assuming Counter or Mirror Coat based on physical/special context or confusion in raw text. Wait, raw says "Double Redouble/Payback" again but describes reflecting physical damage. But Volt Tackle IS physical. Thunder is special. Ah, the sequence: Volt Tackle hit (physical) -> Counter used to reflect damage -> Interrupts Thunder cast. Yes, that makes sense.)
As soon as the voice fell, blinding energy gathered on Hakamo-o, acting on Jolteon first. Due to the close distance, Jolteon couldn't avoid it. Counter, a move that returns double the physical damage received from the opponent.
"Jolt~"
Under the effect of Counter, Jolteon was sent flying directly. The Thunder move was not only forced to interrupt, but it also suffered a certain degree of backlash itself. Truly losing the lady and the soldiers!
"Damn it!"
Du Fei gritted his teeth, his face gloomy as water. Thought it was a soft persimmon, who knew this Hakamo-o was so hard!
"Jolteon, Discharge!"
Du Fei changed tactics again. Neither melee nor ranged worked, then full-range area attack should work, right? Discharge, a move that can attack all surrounding Pokémon, similar to Earthquake.
"Haka~mo~"
Now, Hakamo-o finally got hit, the scales on its body scorched black by electricity. Conversely, Hakamo-o's "Dragon Pulse" attack was easily dodged by Jolteon using speed and agility. The situation on the field seemed to have reversed.
Until Hakamo-o gathered energy slightly, condensed a blue energy ball, and threw it with all its might.
"Jolt~"
Jolteon flashed and dodged again. But unexpectedly, when Jolteon turned, that energy ball also turned. And no matter which direction Jolteon ran, it followed closely behind like a locked-on Sidewinder missile.
"Au... Aura Sphere!"
Du Fei couldn't hold it, mouth twitching violently. Not only Du Fei, but many trainers on the scene who understood Pokémon cultivation also had faces full of shock. Aura Sphere, the move known as the "Aura" locking onto the opponent, absolutely unavoidable. But at the same time, this move was also very difficult to learn; one must have a certain control over aura power.
"Holy crap! Basalt's Hakamo-o is actually an Aura Dragon!"
Dong Lin'er only felt a burst of toothache. Sure enough, none of Basalt's Pokémon were simple.
Boom!
Thinking it could dodge Aura Sphere, Jolteon didn't use "Protect" in time, so it was blown away directly. And while Jolteon was still in mid-air, Hakamo-o detected its falling trajectory through aura, so a "Dragon Pulse" followed up, knocking Jolteon unconscious directly.
After Hakamo-o defeated Snorlax and Jolteon consecutively, Du Fei sent out his ace Pokémon "Pidgeot." Continuous Hurricanes swept the audience, and Hakamo-o finally lost.
In the end, this battle ended with a record of 2:6. Thus, Basalt's fame grew even more. This was all thanks to the bonus of Hakamo-o's pseudo-legendary identity!
During this period, the Pantheon Club in the capital also called, willing to poach Basalt to play for their club, but was eventually rejected by Basalt. The boss Abdullah treated him very well and promoted him; he didn't need to change allegiance to play for Pantheon. After all, the Pantheon Club had two ceiling-level combat powers. Moreover, the price offered by Pantheon wasn't high; Basalt felt his value wasn't demonstrated.
Time flew; another month passed in a blink.
During this time, Basalt had been preparing for battle with all his might, but unfortunately, even if he encountered clubs with Pro-level ceiling trainers, it was hard to face them. Because clubs with ceiling trainers were definitely top 10 clubs; the comprehensive strength of these clubs was much higher than Sanctuary. So sometimes in matches, their ace trainers wouldn't even play. This was very unfriendly to Basalt.
Until this day, Basalt discovered that the opponent for the next battle was surprisingly the top powerhouse club in China—Pantheon.
"This time, maybe my wish can be fulfilled!"
A trace of anticipation flashed in Basalt's eyes.
