Chapter 51 Parasitic Seed? Disgusting!
"Ferritin Dumbbell, Stealth Rock!"
Bai Yu said with a smirk, looking at Blastoise on the field.
Ferritin Dumbbell shook its body, and suddenly many sharp rocks appeared on the field.
The positions of those sharp rocks were particularly tricky, completely enveloping Blastoise inside.
"I've been waiting for this. Blastoise, Rapid Spin." Xiao Mao said with a serious expression.
Using Stealth Rock at this moment was to force him to use Rapid Spin. What was his purpose?
Besides this attack, did Ferritin Dumbbell have other unusual moves?
Xiao Mao stared intently at Ferritin Dumbbell on the field. Blastoise retracted its limbs into its shell, and its entire body spun rapidly. The sharp rocks on the field were shattered by this force.
Countless sharp rocks turned into raindrops and fell down, heading towards Ferritin Dumbbell.
"Well done, Xiao Mao!"
This was the response that Shinji and Xiao Mao had planned.
A stealth rock appeared on the field.
"Gyro Ball!"
The flying rocks were all deflected by the return attack of the Ferrothorn, scattering in all directions. Most of the rocks flew towards Blastoise, while a few, due to the uncontrollable nature of the Gyro Ball, flew towards the spectators.
Sabrina raised an eyebrow, and a powerful psychic aura covered half the field, altering the trajectories of a few rocks, sending them flying towards the ground. Agatha, one of the Elite Four, also released Gengar, knocking another rock to the ground.
"There are too many trainers watching around."
"Some tactics can easily cause friendly fire."
Agatha frowned. After all, this wasn't a field arranged by the League.
It was normal for unnecessary accidents to occur without protective barriers.
"Agatha, release your Pokémon and protect the people around you,"
Agatha said to the middle-aged man in the ninja outfit.
As an expert in Poison-type Pokémon, Agatha had a deep understanding of Agatha's strength.
If she chooses to leave her position as one of the Elite Four, she will definitely have Akari take over her current position.
Akari is absolutely qualified to protect the entire alliance from harm.
This attack method using artificial sharp stones was devised by Shigeru and Shinji.
It was designed to counter the invisible rocks and turn their initial disadvantage into an advantage.
It seems this move wasn't perfect.
None of them anticipated that Bai Yu's Nutbell would master Gyro Ball and Power Whip attacks as counters.
"He'll grow just like us, and in terms of growth rate, he'll surpass us both," Shinji clenched his fist.
The match wasn't over yet, and Xiao Mao had to seize this last opportunity to attack.
"Blastoise, Aqua Tail!"
Xiao Mao didn't want to miss any chance to attack. Blastoise's tail emitted a blue light. The distance between them wasn't far, and a powerful force, carrying a slight water flow, propelled it forward.
The flying sharp stones were all neutralized by Aqua Tail.
The small sharp stones were all turned to powder and fell to the ground.
A Water-type Aqua Tail.
Blastoise continued its attack, its body appearing in front of Nutbell, the powerful Aqua Tail striking Nutbell hard.
Nutbell's body flew high into the sky, but due to its size, the height of the flight wasn't very high.
Blastoise's face contorted in a ferocious expression; the powerful Water Tail had inflicted considerable damage from the spikes.
A blue light emanated from Blastoise's body, radiating glory.
Even in this disadvantageous situation,
Blastoise's ability, Torrent, was activated.
This was Gary's only chance, and one of Blastoise's few remaining opportunities.
"Hydro Pump now!"
The moment Gary issued the command, he noticed a faint green glow emanating from Ferrothorn.
His eyes were fixed on Ferrothorn; what move was it unleashing?
Solar Beam, or some other Grass-type move…?
The resort island's sun was exceptionally hot
, comparable to a bright sunny day .
Solar Beam, a move requiring charging, could now be used instantly!
Seeds emerged from Ferrothorn, falling from the sky and plunging into the ground, some landing on Blastoise. Instantly, vines wrapped around Blastoise's body, deeply embedding themselves within it.
The Grass-type Leech Seed
came in handy at this moment .
Blastoise raised its head, ignoring its abnormal status, and unleashed two jets of water from its two cannons. The powerful jets converged in mid-air, creating a force far exceeding any of its previous water cannon attacks.
While Water-type moves are generally resisted by Grass-types, and the water cannon's power was considerable, it couldn't inflict fatal damage on Ferrothorn.
The impact only propelled Ferrothorn even higher, giving it useless aerial superiority.
Blastoise paused, its expression changing; the Leech Seed had taken effect.
Vines relentlessly eroded Blastoise's body. A
small portion of the vines' suction power transformed into green light, seeping into Ferrothorn's body to heal its injuries.
"Power Whip!"
In mid-air, it's easiest to locate Blastoise.
Using the momentum of its fall, Ferrothorn lashed out with its vines, forcing Blastoise to quickly retreat into its shell, attempting to withstand the onslaught.
The dark green vines lashed at Blastoise's body at high speed, forcing it to emerge from its shell. Blastoise, eyes tightly shut, struggled to maintain its balance, its face contorted in a grimace.
"Was that Leech Seed?"
"I didn't even hear it give a command; was it the Pokémon's own will?!"
"It chose its attack points perfectly, even using photosynthesis in mid-air to maintain its own state. That alone proves it understands Ferrothorn's habits quite well."
Brock stared intently at Ferrothorn.
If he were a Steel-type Gym Leader, he'd want to go to the Unova region to catch this Pokémon.
It's perfect in both offense and defense, its only flaw being its excessive bulk.
This hinders its offensive capabilities, forcing it to rely on counter-attacks when the opponent attacks.
Blastoise stubbornly held on, showing no signs of collapsing. It wanted to win this match even more than Gary.
Blastoise had only lost one match, the Gym battle against Bai Yu.
It absolutely couldn't lose this one.
Blastoise roared forward, its body standing firm on the field, showing no signs of falling.
Starry blue energy fluctuations emanated from its body.
Blastoise's Torrent ability showed no signs of abating!
"Blastoise, Earthquake!" Gary roared back.
He had to defeat that Ferrothorn here.
As long as Blastoise hadn't fallen, there was still a chance to win.
As for the parasitic state, Xiao Mao didn't care about himself. As long as he could take down that Ferrothorn, even if it was a one-for-one trade, Xiao Mao would accept it. He absolutely wouldn't allow the Ferrothorn to continue controlling the battlefield.
"Pin Missile!"
Blastoise slammed its foot down on the ground, causing the field to tremble slightly.
A Ground-type Earthquake.
Accompanied by a rumbling sound
, the materialized tremors grew stronger, heading towards Ferrothorn.
Ferrothorn spun its body continuously, and its spikes swarmed out.
Pin Missile swept through the air, while the Earthquake mainly affected the ground.
The two attacks didn't collide; Pin Missile kept hitting Blastoise's body.
Ferrothorn also suffered damage from the Earthquake.
Because of its perfect Grass/Steel typing, the Earthquake didn't cause much damage to Ferrothorn at this moment.
Throughout the entire match, Ferrothorn only suffered damage from the Earthquake; the rest of the damage had been recovered through Photosynthesis.
On the other hand, Blastoise, after consuming so many Pin Missiles, collapsed to the ground, its eyes glazed over, completely unable to battle.
"Blastoise is down, he has no more Pokémon to clear Spikes."
"Shigeru~"
"We have to take down that Ferrothorn as quickly as possible."
"Otherwise, we'll end up like that in the gym battle again."
Shinji clenched his fist.
Using Blastoise against Ferrothorn is already a type disadvantage.
Combined with Ferrothorn's Mirror Reflect,
when Mirror Reflect blocks Dragon Pulse, the battle is already in Ferrothorn's favor, and the scales of victory are tipped in Shigeru's favor.
Shinji had anticipated this, but Shigeru handled it better.
If Shigeru had a Drapion, he wouldn't have chosen to use Blastoise.
Shigeru only has two Steel-type Pokémon in his hand so far.
The effect of Toxic Spikes can affect Shigeru's Pokémon, and combined with Arcanine's Roar,
the outcome of this battle is really hard to say.
Unfortunately, Shigeru's team doesn't have any Pokémon that can use moves like Toxic Spikes, Spikes, or Stealth Rock. From now on,
