Chapter 331: The Duel Continues!

"Gyarados, fly!" Huo La reacted extremely quickly and shouted immediately.

The massive body of Super Evolution Gyarados twisted sharply, its head pointing upward, its wings flaring, and it instantly rose into the air, easily evading the incoming Electromagnetic Wave.

"Damn, I forgot Gyarados can fly!" Shan Kui watched the airborne Gyarados, slapped his head hard, and was full of frustration.

At that moment, Huo La's command already came: "Gyarados, Twister!"

A gale rose suddenly, and a massive Twister formed thunderously beneath Electivire's feet, spinning at high speed, trapping it tightly in the center; wind, snow, and chaotic energy currents continuously sliced its body, dealing ongoing damage.

Shan Kui stared intently at the high Gyarados, gritted his teeth and ordered: "It can even Twister... Electivire, hold on! Use Electric Shock to knock it down!"

"Electric—!" Electivire roared, a thick thunderous beam of light shot upward at astonishing speed, striking precisely atop Gyarados's head!

"So fast!" Huo La's eyes narrowed.

Before he could issue another order, Shan Kui's voice rang out again: "Electivire, use Thunder Punch to blast open the Twister!" Electivire's fists gathered dazzling Electric Light, bombarding wildly.

In just a moment, the sturdy Twister was ripped open with a huge gash, and Electivire leapt out.

"Now! Charge forward, Thunder Punch!" Electivire turned into a streak of Electric Light, lunging straight at the airborne Gyarados.

"Salt Water!" Huo La countered instantly. Gyarados shook its head struck by Electric Shock, opened its mouth and spewed a thick salty water jet.

Yet Electivire flashed, easily dodging, and Thunder Punch landed right before him! The Electric Light exploded instantly, Gyarados shivered all over, falling into a paralyzed state!

"Electivire, continue! Thunder Punch!" Shan Kui's voice lacked any sweetness, instead gaining a harsh edge.

Electivire's fists blazed with Electric Light, disregarding everything else, delivering punch after punch, crazily hammering the paralyzed Gyarados.

Huo La's gaze hardened, and he immediately shouted the command: "Gyarados! Raise a Whirlpool around you and Electivire, then Bite it!"

Gyarados endured excruciating pain, then surged power abruptly.

The moisture in the air was wildly gathered, and a massive Whirlpool instantly rose around the two Pokemon, trapping them together in the center of a Water Curtain. In the next moment, Gyarados let out a ferocious roar toward the sky, snapped its jaws, and fiercely bit Electivire's neck, refusing to let go!

Electivire winced in pain, and Thunder Punch hammered Gyarados even more violently. Yet the agony fully unleashed Gyarados's innate ferocity; its bite tightened, the surrounding Whirlpool surged wildly, waves roiled, and the momentum was terrifying.

The Electric Light and Water Curtain intertwined wildly, completely obscuring the scene inside; no one could see what was happening within the Whirlpool.

The brief one or two minutes felt as long as a century; finally, the Whirlpool burst apart, and the electric current fully dissipated.

Super Evolution Gyarados had reverted to its normal form, and both it and Electivire lay on the ground, unable to fight.

"Ah, Electivire!"

Shan Kui's eyes widened into circles, his small mouth slightly open, his face full of disbelief, his voice trembling: "How... how is this possible! Electivire clearly has a Fourfold Counter against it, how could it fall together with it?!"

Huo La lifted his hand to retrieve Gyarados's Pokeball, sighed lightly, and spoke calmly, explaining: "Nothing is impossible. After Super Evolution, Gyarados is far stronger than its normal form. Although Electivire's Electric-type moves have a Fourfold Counter against Super Evolution Gyarados, Super Evolution Gyarados's resistance is also much higher than the normal Gyarados, so it's not so easily knocked out in one hit."

He paused, pointed at the lingering water stain in the arena's center, and continued: "Moreover, the Whirlpool I made Gyarados raise is a Water-type move, which creates a Water Curtain around it."

"Electivire staying inside will inevitably get dampened by the moisture; once it uses an Electric-type skill, the current will conduct through the water vapor, and it will be reflected back onto itself, getting shocked."

"So... was this deliberately designed?" Shan Kui snapped his head up, his small face flushed red, showing both resentment and a hint of indignation.

Huo La gently shook his head, his tone candid and without any concealment: "It wasn't deliberately designed, just a forced choice. Earlier, Gyarados had already fallen into paralysis, and Electivire's Thunder Punch kept pounding it punch after punch; in fact Gyarados's defeat was already sealed. I only wanted it to trade damage, to wear down Electivire as much as possible. I didn't expect both would lose combat ability in the end; that truly was an unexpected boon."

Xiao Zhao, carrying Sora, walked over, looked at the aggrieved Shan Kui, and gently comforted: "Field Master Shan Kui, Huo La didn't intentionally bully you, it was just a bit of luck, and your Electivire is also very strong!"

Shan Kui pursed his lips, looked at the fallen Electivire, then at Huo La, and the resentment in his eyes gradually faded: "Hmph, you're impressive, managing to think of such a method. But I haven't lost yet!"

She said, looking at the still-standing Rhyperior behind her, her gaze becoming resolute again: "I still have one last Pokemon, this battle is not over yet!"

Huo La solemnly nodded, his eyes instantly turning extremely serious, his gaze fixed tightly on the Rhyperior behind Shan Kui, even his breathing unconsciously lightened.

This Rhyperior was extremely bulky, its massive body occupying almost half the battlefield; its black‑red armor shell covered its entire form, flashing a cold, hard sheen under the faint light reflected in the Kuhan Huangdi.

Obviously, Shan Kui had been caring for it with great dedication.

What weighed heavily on Huo La's mind was that this Rhyperior's level far surpassed that of the previous Duckbill Flame Beast and Electivire, and its aura was stronger by several tiers.

He compared in his mind; even the Fireburst Beast that had been with him from the start was far behind this Rhyperior.

The densely packed skill list that popped up on the system panel dazzled him, each skill's proficiency nearly maxed out.

Shan Kui seemed to notice Huo La's seriousness, a stubborn smile tugging at his mouth, and patted the massive leg of the Rhyperior: "How about it, Huo La, my Rhyperior is impressive, right? It's my father's most prized partner."

The Rhyperior let out a low roar, its massive body trembling slightly, the snow beneath its feet instantly cracked deep, and the oppressive aura it emitted made Xiao Zhao instinctively clutch Sora tighter, while Sora also shrank back, showing a hint of fear in its eyes.

Huo La took a deep breath, cleared his mind, lifted his hand to pull out another Pokeball, and his gaze steadied: "Indeed it's strong, but I won't concede. This duel continues!"
