Chapter 118 Does your Chinchilla really want to help Onix?
Almost no one noticed that at the very beginning of the battle, Qingyu commanded Onix to unleash a Tail Whip.
Strictly speaking, the name of the move it uses should be "Rage".
Rage, a Normal-type move, has a power of only 20 points in the game.
Given Onix's physical attack, even if this move hits Arcanine, it will only cause negligible damage, possibly less than what a leftover meal would heal.
But this move actually has an additional effect.
"Because of its previous rage attack, Onix is still seething with anger. So, until it unleashes its full fury with its next rage attack, every attack it receives will only fuel its rage!"
"Our Cinnamon has the Continuous Attack ability, and this kind of move that relies on luck to deal damage can be used to maximize the number of times it can be executed through skill."
"Each attack enraged Onix, and its Shatter Armor ability was also triggered."
Qingyu gave a simple explanation.
"And in a state of extreme rage, Onix can even dislocate the wrist of a legendary Pokémon!"
[A legendary Pokémon? That's interesting. Does Onix know it can beat it?]
Onix: Yu-sensei is right, I actually have the strength of a legendary Pokémon. Yu-sensei really understands me!
[Although, that was really exaggerated, so cool!]
This tactic is undeniably successful in giving Onix, whose offensive capabilities are actually quite weak, such terrifying burst damage.
Without interference, Cinnamon could focus solely on its attack, and it didn't just land five hits; it directly withstood Arcanine's opening Intimidate, pushing Onix's attack and speed to their limits.
Even the opponent was stunned by this instant-kill tactic, and it took them a long time to switch back to Arcanine, trying to intimidate and weaken Onix again.
But this time, the fully-strengthened Onix won't give its opponent a chance to retaliate.
"Onix, earthquake!"
"Chipmunk, help!"
With two commands issued in quick succession, Qingyu's two Pokémon immediately began to move.
First, Chinchilla, under the intimidating gaze of Onix, had no choice but to cheer it on, thus greatly amplifying the power of Onix's next move.
Then, the arrogant Onix looked down on all living beings, its blood-red eyes filled with undisguised killing intent, and its tail slammed into the ground with terrifying force.
Rumble!
The power of this earthquake was absolutely exaggerated, because even the game screen on the screen began to shake.
Earthquake is a move that most Ground and Rock Pokémon can learn. While it is incredibly powerful, difficult to dodge, and extremely destructive, it also has a small drawback: in group battles, this move will cause indiscriminate damage to teammates, and the same applies in double battles.
Rockfalls can miss, but earthquakes absolutely never do!
The earthquake's impact instantly devoured all the Pokémon on the opposing trainer's field. At the same time, Cinnabar, the "good teammate" who had previously used its tail to repeatedly slap Onix, was also wiped out by the indiscriminate attack.
This extreme aesthetic of violence clearly left the audience speechless.
[Holy crap, how can someone be so ungrateful?! How can there be such an evil Pokémon as Onix!]
[One move, three kills—is this the power of Onix? Amazing!]
Is it really Pokémon that's wrong? I feel like it's some trainer's fault.
【Then let me ask you, Mr. Yu, does your Cinnamon really want to help Onix?】
"What's there to think about? These are just sacrifices that must be made for victory."
Qingyu smiled slightly and answered the question from the live chat.
"Chino the Chipmunk volunteered for the victory!"
Three of the four Pokémon on the field were knocked out in one go. Qingyu's team lost only one Cinnamoroll, but managed to turn off all three of the opponent's Poké Balls.
The last Salamence, arriving late, seemed to doubt its existence when faced with the Onix, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose aura was terrifying. Its eyes seemed to say:
Am I really the most dangerous Pokémon?
Replacing Cinnabar was Twotail, which, after tremblingly clapping for the invincible Onix to help, luckily escaped the same fate as Cinnabar.
Of course, the main reason is probably that Salamence is a Flying-type, so Earthquake has no effect.
A Rock Slide landed instantly, taking down the Salamence and dimming all four Poké Ball icons on the opposing trainer.
The score was 4-1, and the only Cinnamoroll to fall on Qingyu's side was Onix.
Without a doubt, this was an overwhelming and easy victory.
[Wow, that's awesome! This tactic looks really interesting. I'm going to start learning it right now!]
[I've learned it! Now I'll use Onix to challenge the Mossdeep Gym!]
[Dude, are you really going to use this tactic? Your Chinchilla is crying...]
[You have no choice but to get the gym badge!]
The scene just now was so impactful that it must have left a very deep impression on many viewers.
After all, it's already outrageous enough that Onix could clear a team, let alone get a pentakill in a 4v4 doubles match.
It's a bit like being a fan.
Of course, Qingyu does not encourage the behavior of a few viewers who try to use this tactic to challenge gyms.
"This tactic is fine for playing around in a game; it's really just a fun strategy. If you were to actually use it to challenge a gym, you'd fail the first hurdle in terms of training your family members' character—"
Although he knew the audience was probably joking, as a "positive energy" streamer, he still had to offer some reminders.
Next, Qingyu continued to use this Onix-wielding mowing strategy, successfully carving out a niche for himself in the doubles ladder, quickly securing more than a dozen victories.
As this visually striking tactic was repeatedly used, Qingyu's live stream viewership reached a new high since the show started.
Rayquaza, also known as the mini Onix!
[If you can't laugh when you see Onix kill three enemies with one Earthquake, even its teammates, you should probably go see a psychiatrist!]
[You mean, an Onix got 6 kills in a doubles match, and the other two were teammates?]
It wasn't until another match ended that countless viewers belatedly realized that the one-hour live stream had quickly come to an end.
[Teacher Yu, I'm begging you, please play one more game, just one more!]
【What kind of streamer are you? You stream irregularly and only for an hour at a time. I'm giving you a bad review!】
[The streamer's voice is too short!]
The barrage of comments that were initially full of complaints instantly changed.
Qingyu said she was already used to it.
"Well then, see you next time~"
Amidst the mournful cries of the audience, the live stream was abruptly cut off.
"Whew—it seems the doubles strategy is getting a good response."
After a busy day, Qingyu felt like she had been a real workaholic.
