"Mari~"
The cute-looking Azumarill raised its arms, its eyes changing instantly from adorable to determined, showing no fear against the ferocious Gyarados.
Two Pokémon with a stark difference in appearance and size confronted each other in the water.
Facing Gyarados, Azumarill's abilities were not lowered, which ant Gyarados's ability was not the common "Intimidate," but "Moxie"!
"Players, take your positions. The match begins!"
With the referee's order, the battle officially started.
"Gyarados, Double-Edge!"
Under Shan Qingtian's command, Gyarados roared and charged fiercely, stirring up wind and rain in the pool, its montum terrifying.
But unexpectedly, Xiang Nan didn't intend for Azumarill to dodge. Instead, she waved her hand and shouted boldly, "Azumarill, block it with Superpower."
"Mari~"
Raising its not-so-thick arms, Azumarill erupted with astonishing strength, hands firmly supporting Gyarados's huge mouth. Although pushed back a long way, Gyarados's montum indeed slowed down.
"This is... Huge Power ability!"
Basalt was shocked. He really didn't expect Azumarill to erupt with such terrifying divine strength.
When Azumarill was pushed to the shore, it had completely controlled the situation. The "Superpower" move was still constantly stimulating its source of strength, while Gyarados already showed a look of pain.
"Mari~"
Accompanied by a loud shout, Azumarill erupted with full force, directly twisting and throwing Gyarados onto the lake surface. The terrifying force made Gyarados flip involuntarily, exposing its beige belly.
"Azumarill, seize the mont, flip onto Gyarados's back!"
"Gyarados, don't let it succeed, quickly shake Azumarill off."
Both trainers issued commands again. Xiang Nan tried to expand the results, while Shan Qingtian tried his best to stop it and intended to turn the tables.
The two Pokémon fell into a厮杀 (fight/slaughter) and grapple again.
However, the temporary setback didn't make Gyarados yield; instead, it stimulated its ferocity. Gyarados rolled its body continuously, its tail shining with white light, whipping fiercely at Azumarill, disregarding whether it would hit itself. Or rather, a ruthless Gyarados hits even itself.
Iron Tail useless? Then use "Double-Edge" to slam the part where Azumarill was towards the shore, cracking the reinforced concrete pool wall of the venue, showing the imnse power of Gyarados.
Unfortunately, Azumarill was like a sticky candy, firmly gripping the two fins by Gyarados's mouth, refusing to let go even if beaten to death.
"Gyarados, slam again! Slam again!" Shan Qingtian was furious. But the good news was that large areas of injuries also appeared on Azumarill's body. If the slamming continued, it would be more beneficial to Gyarados! Advantage is with !
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, a dull sound like drumming rang out.
Shan Qingtian and Fang Tianjin's expressions changed drastically: "Not good!"
They knew this sound all too well; only the "Belly Drum" move would make such a sound. Belly Drum, a move that maximizes a Pokémon's Attack stat, similar to "Anger Point."
The next second, the scarred Azumarill erupted with infinite mighty power, its aura rising indefinitely. As it exerted force with its arms again, it directly suppressed the twisting and struggling Gyarados, pinning it firmly against the pool edge.
"Raaahr~"
Gyarados showed a painful expression, but no matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free from Azumarill's divine strength. Huge Power ability Belly Drum made Azumarill the ceiling of physical attack directly; even Machamp would be pressed on the ground and rubbed.
Imdiately after, Azumarill's expression relaxed, suppressing Gyarados with one hand, looking from afar as if playing with Gyarados.
Fairy-type move: Play Rough!
Gyarados fell, its body limp like a pile of mud.
In the first battle of the first round of the exchange match, SRU lost. This was obviously a significant blow to SRU's morale.
However, Shan Qingtian was an experienced trainer. He knew he couldn't hesitate at this ti but had to counterattack imdiately, not giving his mbers a chance to overthink. So he quickly recalled Gyarados and sent out his second Pokémon.
This was a purple Pokémon with three claws on its wings. Its head and abdon were combined, hind limbs transford into wings, yellow eyes, red pupils, and two backward-pointing horns on its head.
"Cro~bat~"
Crobat flapped its wings, flying quickly and nimbly in the air without making any sound, like a ghost.
"Crobat, Haze!"
Shan Qingtian's idea was simple: reset Azumarill's stat stages to zero first. Otherwise, with maxed Attack, Crobat definitely couldn't withstand a hit from Azumarill's physical moves.
As Crobat flapped its wings, a cold mist imdiately filled the air.
However, Azumarill obviously didn't want its stats reset. It dived directly into the water and disappeared. The mist perated the water surface but couldn't affect below the surface.
"Think hiding underwater will save you? Naive!"
Shan Qingtian sneered and shouted, "Crobat, Sludge Bomb, contaminate the entire pool for !"
As a Poison-type Pokémon, Crobat's toxicity was certainly not weak. When the black-purple venom fell into the water, the originally clear water imdiately beca turbid, accompanied by a nauseating stench.
However, Azumarill wasn't helpless. It used the "Refresh" move, preventing the toxins from invading its body.
But as Crobat poisoned frantically, Azumarill eventually fell.
"Well fought, Captain Shan!"
Cheers erupted from the SRU side, morale instantly recovering quite a bit.
Unfortunately, the good tis didn't last long.
The second Pokémon Xiang Nan sent out was small, brown, looking sowhat like a sheep, with cotton-like substance covering its back, neck, and forehead. It had a green, star-shaped stem behind it, orange oval eyes, and green curled ears.
It was the Grass/Fairy dual-type Pokémon—Whimsicott!
"Grass Whistle!"
Under Xiang Nan's command, Whimsicott imdiately blew the grass whistle. And this Whimsicott's ability was the very tricky "Prankster," giving amazing speed boosts to status moves. Crobat's Taunt or Screech couldn't be cast in ti.
The flute sounded, and Crobat beca drowsy but didn't fall asleep completely.
"What's going on? Could it be Whimsicott's Grass Whistle skill isn't practiced enough?" Basalt was slightly surprised.
"It's not that Whimsicott's Grass Whistle isn't practiced enough; it's that Qingtian's Crobat has the Inner Focus ability, born with strong ntal power. Pokémon with strong ntal power, besides not flinching, also have much stronger resistance against hypnotic moves like Grass Whistle than ordinary Pokémon."
The muscular main mber Huang Shan knew Basalt was new and unfamiliar with the team mbers' Pokémon, so he explained.
"So Inner Focus ability has this use!"
Basalt felt he learned sothing.
Unfortunately, although Crobat didn't fall asleep, its activity dropped greatly under the Grass Whistle. And without ghostly speed, Crobat wasn't far from defeat. Sure enough, after a bitter battle, Crobat fell first.
After the scale of victory tilted towards Huaxia University again, Shan Qingtian tried to save it, but unfortunately, he couldn't save it back until all his Pokémon lost combat capability. In this round, he finally lost the match with a record of 4:6.
Huaxia University, unsurprisingly, took the first point!
In the second round, SRU sent out Huang Shan, known for his "steady" playstyle. Unfortunately, Huang Shan was steady but lacked aggression. Although he started well, he eventually lost narrowly to the opponent.
In the third round, SRU sent out Tian nghe, but still couldn't win. Not only did he not win, Tian nghe actually suffered a crushing defeat. When all six of his Pokémon lost combat capability, the opponent only lost two.
2:6, this result was too ugly!
With every round lost, Basalt saw Fang Tianjin's face darken a bit more. Losing three rounds in a row ant the best result SRU could theoretically achieve was a draw with Huaxia University.
But in reality, both sides knew this was impossible. Because Huaxia University's captain, Long Feiyu, hadn't taken the field yet! This was a recognized super genius; no one on the SRU side could match him.
"Half-ti break for thirty minutes!"
Just then, the referee announced a break. This rule was set entirely for the audience by the professional league. Because after three consecutive full-team battles, over an hour had passed, and both sides were very tired. Both teams needed to adjust tactics. The audience also needed to relax, go to the bathroom, smoke a cigarette, etc.
On the SRU side, morale dropped to freezing point. The air emitted an unconcealable heaviness; no one dared to speak.
Just then, Huaxia University's guiding teacher Wang Mingxue walked over with Zhang Yunding, smiling, "Teacher Tan, Captain Fang. Although the three matches just now were evenly matched, we had the ho field advantage and won slightly; don't take it too much to heart."
"Let introduce everyone; this is our school team's rookie, Little Zhang, Zhang Yunding. To be honest, Little Zhang and Basalt once explored a secret realm together and fought each other, but at that ti Basalt won slightly. So Little Zhang asked to ask if he could have another match with Basalt."
Finally, the map was unrolled to reveal the dagger (intentions revealed); Wang Mingxue stated his intention.
At the sa ti, Zhang Yunding and Basalt's gazes t at this mont.
Full of the sll of gunpowder!
