Chapter 304: Scorpion King VS Dragon King Scorpion
Beishang's gaze swept back and forth between the Scorpion King and the Dragon King Scorpion, his tone still steady: "Since you've already decided on the battling Pokemon, I won't hold back."
He raised his hand and lightly patted the Scorpion King's back shell; the Scorpion King's wings suddenly unfurled, lifting it more than ten meters in an instant, cutting a black‑gray afterimage in the moonlight, then it dived sharply, its tail hook thrust straight at the opposite Dragon King Scorpion.
"Scorpion King, Electric Flash!"
Huo La's command sounded almost at the same time: "Dragon King Scorpion, charge forward! Poison Strike!"
The Scorpion King, wrapped in speed, slammed head‑on into the Dragon King Scorpion's massive claws; the white afterimage of Electric Flash had not yet faded when the Dragon King Scorpion's tail rose high, its tail spike coated with a layer of Deep Purple Poison, thrust hard into the Scorpion King's abdomen! The Scorpion King's belly armor was hit directly by Poison Strike, and the purple poison instantly spread over its shell.
"Scorpion King, Thunder Fang!" Beishang paid no heed to the hit the Scorpion King had taken, and immediately issued the command in a deep voice.
The Scorpion King coordinated with him with extreme tacit understanding, its mouth flashing with crackling electric light, and its sharp fang lunged straight at the Dragon King Scorpion's side neck!
Huo La's pupils narrowed— the Scorpion King's stamina and reaction speed were truly too fast.
Yet he still shouted in a deep voice: "Dragon King Scorpion, Hard Resistance! Counterattack, Cross Poison Blade!"
The Dragon King Scorpion endured the excruciating pain without dodging, crossing its two claws to shield its front, stubbornly blocking that Thunder Fang.
Electric current raced along its shell in an instant, its body trembling violently, yet it gritted its teeth and did not retreat a single step.
The next second, the Dragon King Scorpion's claws suddenly opened, crossing into an X shape, enveloped in lethal dark‑purple light, and slashed down hard!
"Cross Poison Blade!"
"Boom!!" The massive force collided, sending the Scorpion King flying more than ten meters; it rolled twice in the air before barely regaining its stance, and on its sharp fang, electric light and poison still intertwined and flickered.
Beishang's brows twitched slightly, but he showed no surprise, merely whispering: "Scorpion King, Frost Fang."
The Scorpion King lifted its head and let out a sharp screech, cold air condensing on its sharp fang, and it lunged again fiercely at the Dragon King Scorpion.
Huo La's mouth curled into a smile: "Stick with that move, Dragon King Scorpion, meet it with your teeth, bite!"
The Dragon King Scorpion's claws slammed into the ground to steady itself, and the next instant its jaws opened wide, waiting calmly for the Scorpion King's dive.
"Use Bite to meet Frost Fang; let's see what confidence you have," Beishang's voice was slightly cold, yet he did not order the Scorpion King to change tactics.
Frost Fang and Bite collided abruptly, a harsh grinding sound exploding instantly, and the two Pokemon zipped past each other in rapid crossover.
"Hm?" Huo La's gaze swept to the Scorpion King that had flown back in a twisted trajectory, a flash of understanding in his eyes—the Scorpion King was clearly poisoned.
"Dragon King Scorpion, Shadow Ball!" The Dragon King Scorpion's tail swiftly gathered several dark‑purple energy balls and hurled them hard at the Scorpion King.
"Scorpion King, Multi Slash, smash them apart," Beishang's voice remained composed and calm.
The Scorpion King, already swift, moved at peak speed now; its claws became two sharp blades, darting through the Shadow Balls, and each time a Shadow Ball brushed past, the claw blade sliced lightly, causing the Shadow Ball to explode with a boom.
The exploding light and shadow scattered through the night, bathing the darkness in dazzling brilliance.
Huo La narrowed his eyes slightly, silently admiring—truly one of the twin kings of the subway battles; Beishang's command of Pokemon abilities and timing far surpassed any opponent he had faced in Hisui.
Even Ming Yao fell far short compared to Beishang.
Fortunately, the Scorpion King's poisoning symptoms had begun to show, its stamina and speed noticeably slowed.
"Dragon King Scorpion, Close Approach! Iron Tail!"
Beishang heard Huo La's command, his brows knit, and after a brief thought said in a deep voice: "Scorpion King, Sneak Attack Vital, give it everything."
Huo La wanted to press the advantage, and Beishang also sought a death‑defying strike—since the Scorpion King was poisoned, prolonged battle would surely lead to defeat; only a desperate move could secure a chance of victory.
Iron Tail collided with Sneak Attack Vital in a thunderous clash, both Pokemon's eyes burning with fierce battle spirit and rage, neither willing to retreat a single step.
Time passed second by second, and the Scorpion King's strength inevitably waned first.
Even with Guai Li claw Trait Blessing, the damage from the lethal poison remained irreversible.
"I lost," Beishang said plainly and cleanly, his tone without a hint of resentment.
Huo La nodded slightly: "Dragon King Scorpion, return."
The Dragon King Scorpion dragged its weary body back behind Huo La; the powerful aura from its recent evolution had largely faded, and this brutal battle had taken a huge toll on it.
Beishang lifted his hand and patted the Scorpion King's back, then pulled a packet of Detox Medicine from his pocket and fed it to him.
The Scorpion King's poisoned condition vanished instantly.
Huo La was unsurprised—after millennia of development in the Pokemon World, later antidote formulas are indeed more refined and portable, yet their fundamentals largely still derive from ancient methods.
After securing the Scorpion King, Beishang moved his neck a bit, then suddenly pulled a Heavy Ball from behind him.
Huo La looked at the Heavy Ball, his expression instantly turning solemn.
Pokeball‑type items are used only by the Galactic Team; Dr. Laben once tried to promote them to the Pearl Team and Diamond Team, but with little success, and Field Masters largely refused to adopt them.
Beishang suddenly produced a Pokeball, truly catching him off guard.
"No need to be surprised; I'm not a native of the Pearl Team, so my acceptance of Pokeballs has always been higher," Beishang said calmly.
Huo La nodded in realization, indeed so.
"Go." Beishang lifted his hand and tossed the Heavy Ball; a red flash lit the area, and a blue‑gray Pokemon with a vivid red nose tip landed on the field.
"North Snout..." Huo La recognized the Pokemon at a glance.
A Rock-type Pokemon—no wonder Beishang used a Heavy Ball to capture it.
