Chapter 486: Basalt Came Prepared
On the field, the ground suddenly cracked open with a fissure, like a giant mouth swallowing the stunned Primarina. Then the fissure closed rapidly, emitting a violent vibration.
When the vibration ended, Primarina was spat out, but it had already fainted with swirling eyes.
Fissure, the most powerful One-Hit KO move. Under the same level, once hit, there is absolutely no possibility of survival!
"What a formidable Camerupt, actually defeating two of Meng Yao's Pokémon in a row, turning Basalt's disadvantage into an advantage."
Jin Gang's eyes narrowed slightly. As the "Earth Violating Bear," he had a special fondness for Ground-type Pokémon. And Camerupt's performance suited his taste. Very domineering! He liked it very much!
"Go, Togekiss!"
Taking a deep breath, Meng Yao released her third Pokémon. Meng Yao waved her hand and shouted urgently, "Air Slash!"
"Camerupt, Rest!" Basalt sneered.
"Cam~er~upt~"
Bending its four limbs and squatting down, Camerupt entered the "Rest" state at an extremely fast speed, and its HP began to recover.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Air Slash descended, cutting on Camerupt's lava armor, its power weakened. Even so, it still caused considerable damage to Camerupt.
However, this was not without cost. After Togekiss entered the high-temperature sandstorm, it was soon burned, with faint flames wrapping around its wings.
"Psycho Shift!"
Under Meng Yao's command, a mysterious light appeared on Togekiss. Immediately after, Basalt saw the flames wrapped around it disappear and transfer to Camerupt.
Camerupt fell into a "Burn" status!
However, just as Togekiss's "Burn" was transferred away, the high-temperature flame sandstorm continued to act, and it was soon "burned" again.
"Deliberately sending Togekiss, is it to use Psycho Shift to burn Camerupt, thereby forcibly weakening Camerupt's Attack? What a good method!"
Basalt had to praise Meng Yao's whimsical idea. After all, if Camerupt's Attack was too strong, there would be a risk of sweeping the team. But now, the risk had been eliminated!
Before long, Camerupt woke up slowly. Recovered and ready for a big fight, it was hit head-on by a semi-transparent blade, making it unable to open its eyes while a sense of powerlessness rose in its heart. Thus, Basalt saw Camerupt shrink its neck, retreating a few steps with a look of fear.
This was falling into the "Flinch" status!
"Serene Grace ability is really troublesome!"
Basalt looked grim.
The Air Slash move is Togekiss's STAB move, and once proficient, there is about a 30% to 40% probability of triggering the opponent's "Flinch" status. Plus, Meng Yao's Togekiss's development of the "Air Slash" move was already very deep, and the probability of triggering "Flinch" was much higher than ordinary Pokémon. And the Serene Grace ability significantly increases the trigger rate of such added effects. After combining the two, the trigger rate skyrocketed directly.
A club information officer once specifically counted the "Flinch" trigger probability of Meng Yao's Togekiss's Air Slash, and the result was an astonishing 90%, i.e., nine flinches out of ten slashes!
Thus, the audience on the scene saw that every time Camerupt was hit by Air Slash, its body would retreat a few steps slightly. Unknowingly, it had gradually retreated to the edge of the field.
"Return, Camerupt!"
Basalt tried to recall Camerupt, but Meng Yao's Togekiss had obviously been trained in this aspect. Although it didn't have blocking moves, it could use its body to accurately block the Pokéball's beam, preventing Basalt from succeeding. By the way, increasing the attack intensity.
Before long, Camerupt fell aggrievedly!
"It appeared! Togekiss's 'Air Slash' hard control tactic, controlling the opponent until death!"
In the audience, Meng Yao's fans shouted repeatedly, extremely excited.
"Everyone guess, which Pokémon will Basalt send next? Tyranitar?"
"Tyranitar should be impossible! You know, Meng Yao's Togekiss knows 'Aura Sphere,' and the Desert Tyrant is quadruple weak to Fighting. If hit, the Tyrant will also kneel!"
"Then other Pokémon seem useless too, right? With bad luck, controlled to death directly. Only Tyranitar's 'Sandstorm Prison' can block it a bit, but it can't guarantee 100% blocking!"
"Truly worthy of a ceiling-level trainer, so hard to deal with! If it were me, I couldn't beat a single one, swept 1v6 directly."
While the audience was discussing animatedly, Basalt threw the third Pokéball.
"Cra~dily~"
Tall and looking like a sea anemone, Cradily appeared, roots at the bottom of its body penetrating deep into the ground. Cradily was like a fixed turret, aiming its tentacles at the sky, ready to fire shells at any time.
"Togekiss, Air Slash!"
"Cradily, Solar Beam!"
Basalt looked up and sneered repeatedly, thinking to himself, "If I can't suppress you with firepower this time and still get hit by Air Slash, I'll admit defeat directly!"
Under the "Sunny Day" weather, Solar Beam doesn't need charging and can be fired directly. Although Togekiss's Air Slash was powerful, it was directly defeated.
However, Togekiss's speed wasn't slow either. Its wings flapped slightly, generating air currents under its wings, boosting its speed significantly.
Flying-type move: Tailwind!
Togekiss avoided the aftermath of Solar Beam. However, before it could breathe a sigh of relief, countless rock projectiles fell from the sky, with wide range and high density, simply like a rainstorm one after another, and the gaps between the rock projectiles were also very, very small. Fortunately, Togekiss was fast and agile, and with the boost of "Tailwind," it could barely dodge. Under normal conditions, it would probably have been shot down long ago.
But soon, Meng Yao noticed something was wrong. Because Togekiss's speed seemed to be slowly falling back. And a layer of unhealthy black-purple halo appeared on its body.
"Poison? When?"
Meng Yao widened her eyes, extremely shocked. Obviously, Togekiss was poisoned, causing its condition to slide rapidly.
"It's the sandstorm!"
Meng Yao recalled the information about Basalt and sighed secretly. Ultimately, she was careless! Fire sand, quicksand, poison sand; Basalt had played with sand to the extreme. Truly worthy of a genius of the Weather Bureau, one of the contemporary Four Weather Prodigies.
One wrong move, and Togekiss was hit by Rock Slide, falling directly from mid-air. With the super effective Rock-type move, plus the triple weakening of "Sandstorm," "Burn," and "Poison," its stamina was already low. Now adding Rock Slide, it was knocked down directly.
"Hiss... Meng Yao actually lost three Pokémon first! Basalt slightly gained the upper hand!"
Many people on the scene gasped when they saw the match field begin to change. Unknowingly, Meng Yao had lost three Pokémon.
Conversely, Basalt's third Pokémon, Cradily, was still at full health. And even if not, it wasn't a big problem. Because everyone in the world knows that Cradily is best at recovery. Let alone full health now, even at low health, it can recover in minutes. Not afraid at all!
"Meng Yao seems to be in trouble this time."
The Earth Violating Bear narrowed his eyes slightly, sighing with emotion, "Basalt came prepared!"
