Lapras's Hydro Pump ca too fast! And the water column was thick and large; one could tell its power was peerless at a glance.
Basalt gritted his teeth and shouted, "Carupt, use Sleep Talk again!"
"Donk~ Roar~"
A low roar sounded again, but this ti Carupt didn't use "Roar," but the boosting move "Growth."
Under the Sunny Day condition, Carupt's body began to swell, and the lava from its humps surged even more fiercely, covering its entire body directly. The only pity was that the Growth skill boosted Attack and Special Attack, not Defense and Special Defense.
Splash-boom!
Hydro Pump hit, and the huge force pushed Carupt straight back several ters. But fortunately, under the influence of Sunny Day, the power of Water-type moves was greatly reduced. Besides that, the high-temperature lava covering Carupt's body also neutralized part of the water column's force, evaporating the water directly, causing the Hydro Pump's power to drop another notch.
Thus, even though Carupt was quadruple weak to Water, it managed to withstand it, although it was already panting heavily and its limbs were weak. And suffering such a heavy blow, Carupt not only woke up from its sleep in a near-death state, but the lingering fear also successfully triggered its "Anger Point" ability, raising its Attack stat by another two stages (maxing it out).
"Senior Shao Hui, it seems I won this round!"
Basalt laughed heartily and shouted loudly, "Carupt, Stone Edge!"
The Growth move during sleep raised Carupt's Attack by two stages, and Anger Point raised it to the maximum. With such superposition, Carupt's Attack had risen to an extrely terrifying level. Even against an opponent a tier higher, the current Carupt would dare to clash head-on. Sweeping Lapras shouldn't be a big problem.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Huge rock projectiles ford, each as thick as a water bucket and one or two ters long, surrounding Carupt like missiles, ready to launch.
"I'm afraid not necessarily!" Shao Hui sneered.
The next second, a lodious song rang out from Lapras's mouth.
When the first note ca out, Carupt seed hypnotized, its eyelids trembling. In less than three seconds, Carupt fell asleep again. Without energy support, Stone Edge collapsed on its own.
"Isn't the hypnotic effect of this song a bit too strong?" Basalt was shocked.
Obviously, besides the Hail tactic, Shao Hui's Pokémon also incorporated the sub-tactic of hypnotic singing. Truly an old tir of the Weather Bureau; indeed had so tricks, able to pull back imdiately even in desperate situations.
A "Surf" finished the job, and Carupt directly lost the ability to battle.
"Basalt, send out your second Pokémon! Let see your full strength."
Shao Hui folded his arms, his tone lofty.
"Rest assured, I won't disappoint you."
Basalt grinned and released Carbink.
"Carb~ink~"
The mont Carbink appeared, its rabbit-like ears perked up from a retracted state, appearing a bit timid. Lapras's "Sing" move was too troubleso. Among Basalt's current Pokémon, probably only Excadrill, Bronzong, and Carbink could remain unaffected. Although Cradily had advantages in type, moves, and ability against Lapras, it would be useless if it couldn't block "Sing." And Excadrill and Bronzong were battle-hardened veterans; Basalt didn't plan to send them out this ti. Give newcors a chance!
"Actually Carbink? This Pokémon is rarely seen!"
Shao Hui raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, but didn't relax his attack at all, shouting: "Hydro Pump!"
As an experienced trainer, Shao Hui certainly knew Carbink could use "Magic Coat"; he wouldn't fall for Basalt's trick.
Hydro Pump sprayed from Lapras's mouth again, its power a bit greater than before. This was because after Carupt left the field, the energy supporting Sunny Day was cut off. The decay speed of Sunny Day would accelerate, and the suppression of Water-type moves would weaken accordingly.
"Power Gem!"
Basalt showed no weakness and chose to counter-fire. A hazy beam of light emitted from the diamond on its forehead t the Hydro Pump.
Boom!
The two energies collided, causing a violent explosion.
But imdiately after, everyone saw Carbink's "Power Gem" beam slowly suppress "Hydro Pump," until finally suppressing "Hydro Pump" completely and blasting towards Lapras without losing montum.
"Power Gem is this powerful?" Shao Hui was surprised.
Hydro Pump is a high-power Water-type move, while Power Gem is only a mid-to-high-level Rock-type move; there is a difference of two tiers between them. In the end, Lapras's Hydro Pump was suppressed instead; how could Shao Hui not be surprised?
He didn't know that after obtaining the high-grade "Hard Stone" from Mother Tyranitar, Basalt gave it directly to Carbink to absorb and improve. So in terms of STAB move power, Carbink didn't fear Lapras at all!
Power Gem hit, striking Lapras's shell, super effective.
Although suffering a setback, Shao Hui was experienced and didn't mind. As Lapras released the ice power in its body, the scattered water puddles on the ground froze instantly, forming a thick layer of ice.
Imdiately after, Basalt saw Lapras sliding quickly on the ice with its four limbs, its body extrely agile, dazzling Carbink's eyes.
"Ice skating tactic!" Basalt narrowed his eyes slightly.
Even without "Hail" to boost, Shao Hui's sub-tactics ca one after another. Coupled with his rich experience and ticulous command, Basalt couldn't gain any advantage.
Three minutes later, Carbink fell unwillingly. Of course, Lapras wasn't much better; hit by "Rock Slide," its HP also reached the red line.
In the third match, Basalt sent out Swampert, while Shao Hui recalled the exhausted Lapras and sent out Abomasnow again. Under the Snow Warning ability, Swampert was crushed directly.
"Refreshing! Refreshing!"
However, Shao Hui fought this battle very happily, praising: "I didn't expect my Weather Bureau to produce a younger generation like you."
Swampert's Ice-type move power was almost not inferior to Abomasnow, which Shao Hui hadn't expected at all. And Swampert's strength completely crushed Abomasnow, once pressing Abomasnow to the ground and rubbing it fiercely, leaving no room for retaliation. If not for Abomasnow using "Ingrain" and "Giga Drain" to recover HP at the critical mont, it might have really fallen.
"Senior, you are still more powerful, beating three gas in a row, leaving with no temper!" Basalt shook his head with a wry smile.
Although Basalt's three main forces didn't act, his newer Carupt, Swampert, and Carbink, which one wasn't gifted, which one wasn't a cheater? Losing three gas in a row like this, it could only be said that Shao Hui's strength was truly formidable. Basalt estimated that the opponent should be comparable to Bai Xinxin half a year ago, dare not say the ceiling, but definitely belonging to the top figures of the Pro-level. The kind where Abdullah and Adilhan wouldn't work against.
"Powerful my ass!"
Shao Hui shook his head with a bitter smile, "I'm forty years old; how old are you? I'm already an old bone; the future belongs to your younger generation. As a senior, I won't say much else. Just visit more when you have ti. Ask if you don't understand anything about Ice attributes; I'll tell you everything I know."
"In addition, there are quite a few old geezers cultivating in this snowfield. I happen to know a few, I'll take you to spar with them next ti."
Shao Hui was preparing to vigorously promote Basalt. Not only guiding himself but also pulling a bunch of old buddies to guide together.
"That's great!" Basalt was pleasantly surprised. The feeling of being covered by soone was aweso!
Making an appointnt with Shao Hui for another battle, Basalt returned to Blizzard Peak. At this ti, Hakamo-o was learning fist techniques with Infernape, its fists becoming more fierce and domineering.
anwhile, Shao Hui, in a good mood after successfully showing off in front of a junior, called his old friend still serving in the Weather Bureau, wanting to know more about the younger generation in the bureau.
"Who? Basalt? That guy ran to the Himalayas? Just had a spar with you?"
On the other end of the phone ca the old friend's shocked voice.
"Yeah. His Carupt, Swampert, and Carbink, these three main Pokémon, are quite strong, enough to play in the First Division League. Reaching the First Division League at such a young age, the younger generation is truly to be feared!"
Shao Hui sighed with emotion, but his old friend on the other end said, "Eh, wait! Aren't Basalt's main Pokémon Excadrill, Bronzong, and Cradily? As far as I know, he also has a pseudo-legendary transition form Pupitar, the strongest weather setter."
"Old Shao, the Carupt, Swampert, and Carbink you ntioned seem to be Pokémon he newly cultivated, right? There is still a clear gap in strength between these Pokémon and his true ace main Pokémon."
"What?"
Shao Hui's face turned liver-colored (dark red).
So after fighting for so long, I sent out my true main force, while the Pokémon Basalt sent out were all newly cultivated? And I was lecturing Basalt with a complacent look just now!
This brat!
"Old Shao, since you t Basalt, quickly build a good relationship. Basalt is the most outstanding genius of our Weather Bureau in the past ten years, soone who can directly interface with Director Mori, a proper future high-level official of the bureau."
"A twenty-year-old Pro-level trainer, last year's MVP of the Second Division League. According to what you just said, he will definitely shine in the First Division League this year."
"I just don't know when his Pupitar can complete evolution. Once it evolves into Tyranitar, the MVP of the First Division League probably won't escape his grasp..."
Shao Hui's old friend was older than Shao Hui and a bit naggy. But every piece of news he said shocked Shao Hui numb.
Basalt, only twenty years old?
By the end, Shao Hui was numb, only the corners of his mouth and eyes twitching alternately.
"Damn, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, and eating onto , Old Shao!" Shao Hui was furious.
