Chapter 263: First Battle at the Water Field (1)
"The first game of Rock Arena is over. The player Yulongyuan from Smokescreen City defeated all three of his opponent's Pokémon with just Garchomp."
Amidst warm applause, Yu Longyuan waved his hand and returned to the lounge. In the corridor, he also met Xiaozhi, with whom he was going to fight next.
The two did not communicate much. The moment they passed each other, their fists touched lightly, and the electric current and dragon power briefly intersected in the air, and then they passed each other.
water place
The stands were sunken in a circular shape, with a fifty-meter square shallow pool in the center. The water was only ankle-deep, but it concealed three underwater jets that changed the direction of the water flow every thirty seconds. There were many cobblestone plates on the water surface for Pokémon that couldn't swim to stand on.
When the lights came on, the water looked like a flowing sapphire. The referee read out the rules—three on three, free rotation allowed, and those who lost their fighting ability were out.
The opponent, Xiu Di, stood on the opposite platform, his short green hair slightly wet by the mist, and the expensive camera around his neck was no longer on his body.
He raised his hand and said in a cold tone, "I didn't expect to meet him in the first match. I hope this battle won't disappoint me."
Xiaozhi didn't say anything back, but just pulled the brim of his hat lower, and Pikachu's tail emitted an arc of electricity with a "sizzle".
"Game start!"
"Go, Electric Spider!"
"You come on too, Dragon King!"
Two beams of white light hit the water at the same time.
The water splashed, and the streamlined blue body of the Thorn Dragon King shot out of the water like a water arrow, its dorsal fin drawing a silver arc on the water surface;
On the stone plate on the opposite bank, the electric spider slightly bent its four legs, and the lightning sac on its abdomen lit up with a spider-web-like circuit. The blue and yellow electric current crackled and flashed, causing tiny electric sparks to float on the water surface.
"Xiaozhi really used it. The King of Thorns was fighting on the water surface. Although the electric spider is an electric type, the King of Thorns also has the dragon attribute. Neither side has an advantage in attributes."
Xiaoyang, Sundae and Serena, who had not yet started the battle, sat together to watch the battle.
Xiao Yang had a different opinion on Sundae's words, "But don't forget, this is a water place, the power of electric-attribute moves will be increased."
But then he stretched his legs easily, "But Xiaozhi has the upper hand in terms of level."
"The red team attacks first!"
"Electric spider, electric grid!"
Electricity gushed out from the electric spider's abdomen, interweaving into a giant electrified web, and pounced towards the sky above the Thorn Dragon King.
The moment the power grid touched the water surface, the water surface seemed to turn into a conductive plate. With a "sizzling" sound, the electric arc jumped a foot high, like countless silver snakes dancing wildly.
Xiaozhi's eyes flashed: "Dive down!"
The Thorn Dragon King swung its tail violently, and its entire body sank into the water, leaving only a green shadow.
The electric grid missed the target, and the current exploded with brilliant blue light on the water surface, but it didn't even touch the edge of the dragon king's scales.
Xiudi remained unmoved, flicking his fingertips lightly: "Surface attack, come again - signal beam!"
The electric spider's mouthparts lit up with rainbow-colored light bullets, which shot obliquely along the water surface. Wherever they passed, water molecules were torn into a "hissing" white mist by the electric current.
The Thorn Dragon King turned over underwater, and its dragon horns sensed the water flow, and it suddenly jumped at a right angle. A light bullet flew past its dorsal fin, shattering the stone plate behind it, and gravel and waves flew together.
"What a quick reaction..." Xiao Yang whispered in the audience.
Serena's lips curled up slightly: "Xiaozhi's underwater tactics have just begun."
"Dragon King, Dragon Wave!" Xiaozhi's command came following the water ripples.
The water surface suddenly bulged, and deep purple dragon-shaped energy broke out of the water, like an angry sea dragon, rushing straight towards the electric spider.
Emperor Xiu shouted coldly: "Jump to avoid it!"
The electric spider's four legs discharged electricity at the same time, the electromagnetic field on the soles of its feet exploded, and the entire body was bounced five meters high by the reaction force.
The dragon's power swept past its feet, smashing the second stone plate into pieces. The water curtain in the sky reflected a colorful rainbow bridge in the sunlight.
The electric spider landed on another piece of pumice stone, but the stone surface was shaking due to the previous explosion.
Emperor Xiu seized the opportunity: "Charge!"
The lightning sac in the electric spider's abdomen swelled, the electric current on its body surged, and a blue light flashed indicating the special attack enhancement.
Xiaozhi narrowed his eyes, his voice calm but sharp: "Don't stop, use the water cannon!"
The water surface exploded, and a high-pressure water column pierced the sun like a spear, attacking the electric spider's foothold directly.
The stone plate was overturned by the impact, and the electric spider slipped and lost its balance.
Xiudi shouted urgently: "Discharge coverage!"
The electric spider hastily released a circular current, attempting to use the water surface to conduct electricity and injure the Dragon King.
However, the Thorn Dragon King had already dived into deeper waters, and the electric current only left a futile electric net on the water surface, like a broken spider silk.
"End it!" Xiaozhi's voice rose.
The Thorn Dragon King broke through the waves from right below the Electric Spider, its horns condensing dragon energy, and its dragon scales gleaming coldly in the water.
"Ni Lin——!"
The purple-red light blade cut through the water curtain and hit the electric spider's abdomen from bottom to top.
"boom!"
The explosion and the waves exploded at the same time, the electric spider was lifted into the air, and the electric current and water droplets intertwined to form a rain of light in the sky.
The electric spider fell heavily back into the water, the current went out, and its legs hung limply.
The referee's flag was decisively waved down: "The Electric Spider has lost its ability to fight!"
There was silence in the stands for a second, and then thunderous applause broke out.
"So fast, he was defeated just like that!"
"It seems Xiaozhi and the others have put in a lot of hard work!"
The Emperor Xiu on the opposite side was also very surprised, but his hands did not stop moving at all, because there was a good opportunity now.
"The reverse scale just now," looking at the Thorn Dragon King still rampaging in the water, Xiudi's eyes were stern, and he immediately threw out the second Poké Ball, "Go, double ice!"
White light exploded above the pool, and broken snow scattered everywhere.
The ice crystals on either side of the double-sided ice resembled two gleaming scimitars. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thin layer of ice formed on the water surface at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ice type? I'm afraid it will pose a big threat to the Thorn Dragon King in the water," Sundae said worriedly.
"Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, the opponent also has a skill that can restrain the Thorn Dragon King," Xiaoyang frowned slightly.
Xiudi raised his hand, his voice as calm as an icicle: "Freeze-dry!"
Double Duoduobing opened both mouths at the same time, and a blue-white light ball quickly condensed in the air, turning into an extremely cold ray that shot directly at the Dragon King.
The Thorn Dragon King had just recovered from the residual force of the inverse scale, his red vertical pupils still showed madness, and his dragon tail swung wildly, but he could not avoid the precise beam of light.
"Crack——!"
The beam struck its pectoral fin, and ice crystals instantly covered its blue-green scales. The Thorn Dragon King let out a deep, painful roar, its body suddenly sank, smashing through the ice and sending up a column of water as tall as a man.
Xiaozhi clenched his fist: "Hold on! Use Water Ring!"
The Thorn Dragon King gritted his teeth, and a light blue water film appeared on his dragon fins. He slowly recovered his strength, but the ice chips still made a "crunching" sound in his skin and flesh.
The side effects of the reverse scale followed quickly—a state of confusion was triggered, the Thorn Dragon King's pupils lost focus, and the dragon's tail swept across unconsciously, almost overturning the pumice stone under his feet.
"Snowstorm!" Emperor Xiu gave no chance at all
The two heads of Double Duoduo Ice roared loudly, and snow clouds condensed into a vortex in the air, and heavy snow mixed with sharp ice flakes whizzed down.
The Thorn Dragon King was swept away by the chaos and plunged headfirst into the center of the blizzard. Ice shards sliced through his body, gradually accumulating a large number of injuries.
