Chapter 485: Fissure
"Gran~bull~"
Opening its bloody mouth, Granbull let out a strange cry, a low and stern sound from its throat, very loud. Although sound waves are formless and intangible, the people on the scene strangely imagined black energy enveloping Swampert.
Immediately after, two dim lights appeared on Swampert for the third time. Not only that, but the sound waves also contained not weak attack power; Swampert's HP began to drain frantically.
Dark-type move: Snarl!
"Endless!"
Basalt gritted his teeth.
First Intimidate, then Scary Face, now Snarl. Under triple weakening, Swampert's strength had been reduced to freezing point.
Fortunately, Swampert was not without countermeasures.
Swampert's fins and gills moved slightly, and a black mist immediately filled the air. When the mist touched Swampert, the weakening energy attached to its body was instantly absorbed completely. Swampert's stat stages returned to zero!
Haze!
"Swamp~"
"Gran~bull~"
The two Pokémon looked at each other from a distance, and soon rushed to fight together again. Granbull used Crunch, Brick Break, and Superpower, while Swampert countered with Ice Punch, Iron Tail, and Mega Punch. Both sides were sturdy and powerful Pokémon; such fist-to-flesh fighting style, although not very technical, was extremely enjoyable to watch and could also arouse the audience's emotions more.
Before long, both Pokémon pushed away covered with injuries, panting heavily. But in terms of stamina, Swampert obviously lost more severely.
"Is this Granbull's physique also this strong? Did it take drugs!" Basalt's face was gloomy.
"Swamp Domain!" Basalt got fierce.
"Swamp~"
With a strange cry, Swampert smashed the ground with both fists, coordinating with Water-type ability to invade the ground frantically. The ground beneath it soon turned into a dark swamp, and the swamp range was still expanding, trying to swallow Granbull and drag it into the mire.
Seeing this, Meng Yao, who always maintained elegance and indifference, frowned slightly and shouted coldly, "Granbull, Close Combat!"
Because she knew she couldn't let the swamp spread. Otherwise, if the whole field turned into a swamp, it would be extremely unfavorable for her Pokémon.
"Gran~bull~"
At this moment, Granbull burst out with an amazing aura. It abandoned defense, using any part that could attack like head, hands, mouth, feet, and body, all for offense, pouncing unstoppably on Swampert in the swamp.
Swampert was caught off guard and was directly pinned down by Granbull.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying fist power erupted; Swampert was hammered fiercely and soon fainted in the swamp.
However, Granbull wasn't much better off; its body was covered with mud. The heavy mud became its constraint, greatly affecting its condition. Besides, Close Combat also caused its Defense and Special Defense to drop rapidly.
But when the black mist in the air permeated Granbull's body surface, its dropped defenses soon recovered.
"This..."
Basalt's eyes bulged, admiring in his heart. Truly worthy of a ceiling-level trainer! The opponent obviously took "Haze" into account before using "Close Combat." Haze can reset the stats of Pokémon on the field, so the side effects of Close Combat were eliminated like this.
Conversely, Basalt was played like a doll in the palm of her hand.
"Basalt, Big Sister's methods taste pretty good, right!" Meng Yao smiled sweetly. Completely opposite to Yu Lengleng, Meng Yao seemed to like others calling her Big Sister.
"Very good!"
Basalt gave a thumbs up, then released his second Pokémon with a cold face.
"Cam~er~upt~"
Camerupt took the field, and the temperature on the field instantly soared by more than ten degrees.
Gurgle gurgle~
Lava flowed frantically from the humps, spreading over a small part of the field. When the lava flowed through the swamp, Swampert's swamp solidified instantly, moisture evaporating frantically.
Seeing this, Granbull dared not face its sharpness and quickly climbed from the swamp to the ground. Unfortunately, the ground was also enveloped by the high temperature of the lava; Granbull felt its feet burning and could only jump around.
"Water Pulse!"
Meng Yao tried to suppress the lava with Water-type moves, but unfortunately, she failed. Because Granbull's Water-type development was only half-baked, while Camerupt's fire was extraordinary; the two were not on the same level at all.
With just one Eruption, Granbull with little stamina left was taken away.
Meng Yao's smile froze. She had just gained the upper hand; who would have thought Granbull would be instantly counter-killed, almost without fighting back. This Camerupt was much stronger than she imagined.
"Go, Primarina!"
Meng Yao threw the second Pokéball.
Primarina is a Pokémon with long sea-green curly hair tied into three sections by pearl hair ties, wearing pink starfish hair ornaments on its temples. It has azure blue eyes, long and thick white eyelashes; a slender, long white body, large and powerful palms, wearing a light blue wavy shawl, a skirt-like wavy decoration at the crotch, a ring of spikes under the crotch, and below is a strong, flexible dark blue tail, the tip of which is bifurcated with a white part, also surrounded by a ring of wavy decoration.
"Hydro Pump!"
"Eruption!"
The Fire-type ultimate move of the Fire-type Pokémon collided with the Water-type ultimate move of the Water-type Pokémon in the air. Although Primarina had the type advantage, it was inferior in move power, so the water column was soon defeated by the fire column.
Primarina was injured. Not only injured but also fell into a "Burn" status.
Meng Yao's expression changed slightly; the elegance and indifference on her face disappeared instantly. Fortunately, Primarina is a Special Attack-type Pokémon; the reduction in Attack caused by the burn didn't matter much.
"Sing!" Meng Yao shouted.
"Sandstorm!" Basalt's eyes were cold.
Camerupt's weakness was very obvious: insufficient ability to deal with status moves. However, as long as the sandstorm could descend, combined with the lava high temperature, the high-temperature sandstorm would take shape. Calculating this way, Basalt didn't lose.
Elegant singing sounded, and Camerupt fell into a "Sleep" status. But at the same time, the high temperature evaporated the ground moisture, turning soil into gravel. Sandstorm swept out, instantly covering the entire field.
At this moment, high-temperature lava combined with the sandstorm. High-temperature Flame Sandstorm descended!
"Camerupt, Sleep Talk!"
"Primarina, Sparkling Aria!"
Both trainers spoke in unison.
Melodious singing sounded again from Primarina's mouth, accompanied by many bubbles flying towards Camerupt.
Conversely, Camerupt sprayed a hot energy ball from the hump on its back, rising rapidly into the sky. In an instant, the sunlight on the field became exceptionally intense, and the temperature rose again.
Weather move: Sunny Day!
Under the intense sunlight, the power of Primarina's Water-type moves was also weakened a lot. Bubbles hitting the lava armor attached to Camerupt only made sizzling sounds and were soon evaporated into white water vapor. Conversely, Camerupt was still sleeping soundly and leisurely.
"Hydro Cannon!"
Meng Yao got fierce. Hydro Cannon, the true ultimate move of the Water type, with power equal to Hyper Beam, but the cost is the same; the side effect is a brief stiffness of the body. However, Camerupt was sleeping now, which was a good time.
Boom-splash!
The terrifying water cannon was rapidly compressed by Primarina, carrying spiral force and amazing penetration, pushing Camerupt back several meters directly.
Unfortunately, under the weakening of Sunny Day and the protection of the lava armor, although Camerupt panted heavily, it still didn't faint. Only its HP reached an extremely unhealthy level.
"Cam~er~upt~"
Just then, Camerupt's body trembled slightly. Dazzling lights flashed on its body one after another, and its aura began to climb steadily.
Anger Point, activate!
Camerupt's Attack began to rise massively (maxed out). At the same time, stimulated by the ability, the timid and cautious Camerupt also began to wake up slowly.
"Not good!"
Meng Yao felt something was wrong. How could Primarina's Sing hypnosis be broken by Camerupt so quickly?
Seeing this, the corners of Basalt's mouth rose slightly. Since Bronzong returned, he had given Camerupt special training on "anti-hypnosis" and "Sleep Talk directional move selection." Now, it indeed came in handy and caught Meng Yao off guard.
"Fissure!"
Basalt's eyes bulged.
Under the nourishment of Primal Groudon's scale, Camerupt's Ground-type development had also been greatly improved. It was just that to hide his clumsiness, Basalt rarely showed it usually. But now, Basalt felt there was no need to hide anymore! Not to mention, Camerupt's Attack had already been massively boosted, completing the buff.
Next, he could try to sweep the team.
