Chapter 287: Have You Ever Seen Such a Domineering Slackoff King Taking a Day Off?
"Slackoff King, defeat it, and I'll add a meal for you tonight!"
The crowd was thunderstruck; could one command it like this?
But what made them drop their glasses was that Slackoff King actually took the bait!
They saw its eyes light up; it suddenly grabbed Flareon's arm, then rose and swung, smashing Flareon heavily to the ground!
With a deafening boom, the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air!
For this seemingly casual strike had smashed a huge crater into the arena, with cracks spreading outward in all directions.
Even more exaggeratedly, Flareon lay in the crater, motionless!
Glancing at the incapacitated Flareon, then at Slackoff King lying down again, the crowd was dumbfounded!
One-hit knockout!
This was simply too violent!
"When Slackoff King gets serious, even a Legendary Pokémon can be beaten flying; this rumor is indeed no baseless fabrication!"
"Although we knew Slackoff King was powerful, we never expected it to be this powerful!"
"It seems its title of surpassing pseudo-Legendaries is not mere boasting; it truly has this strength!"
"It's just a pity!"
"Yes, a pity!"
"Possessing unparalleled strength, yet being so lazy!"
At this moment, everyone felt immense regret; laziness was truly wasting Slackoff King's talent!
Ding Ding smiled bitterly, "So this is his true strength?"
"What are you thinking? Have you ever seen it get serious?"
Ding Ding really wanted to retort: if it truly got serious, would there even be anything left for me to do?
"Contestant Ding Ding, send out your second Pokémon!"
Ding Ding felt exasperated; how should he deal with this Slackoff King that was both easy and hard to handle?
The previous battle strategies were all based on Bai Jing's other Pokémon; he never expected a Cheng Yaojin to appear halfway, completely throwing his plans into disarray!
"I'm counting on you, Gastrodon!"
Gastrodon
Gender: None
Type: Water, Ground
Ability: Storm Drain
Stats: Body (S), Physical Attack (A), Physical Defense (B), Special Attack (A), Special Defense (A), Speed (D)
Potential: King
Strength: Elite (Late Stage)
This was the blue Gastrodon, the East Sea variant.
The potential was actually as high as the King level; to have found this Gastrodon, Ding Ding's billionaire father must have spent no small amount.
"Use Mud Bomb!"
I won't get close; I'll stand far away and unleash a wide-range long-distance attack; let's see how you dodge then?
Sure enough, watching a huge wave of sewage surge forward, Slackoff King's face turned green!
Bai Jing laughed, saying gleefully, "This is gutter oil; aren't you planning to do something? It wouldn't be good to get your beautiful fur dirty!"
Perhaps it was truly afraid of the sewage, or perhaps Bai Jing's words took effect; Slackoff King actually stood up!
They saw it deliver another fierce punch to the crater it had just made, enlarging the crater significantly and deepening it considerably.
After finishing all this, Slackoff King casually went back to lie flat.
As expected, the sewage flowed into the crater through the hole, posing not the slightest threat to it.
The corners of the crowd's mouths twitched; they were utterly speechless!
Being lazy is one thing, but being obsessed with cleanliness is another!
Besides, how lazy are you, that you'd rather expend effort neutralizing an attack than rush over and punch Gastrodon down in one blow?
"Gastrodon, continue using Mud Bomb!"
The arena is only this big; let's see how many craters you can create; I won't drown you, you lazy thing.
On this side, the human and the Pokémon were already negotiating!
"Take it down, and I'll add another meal!"
Slackoff King expressed dissatisfaction and raised one hand.
"Five meals? Fine!"
Slackoff King shook its head, indicating you are too naive!
"Five days? You are too greedy!"
"Fine, fine, five days it is; go!"
The crowd watched, utterly speechless; does this count as paid employment? Slackoff King, can you have any integrity?
After the terms were settled, Slackoff King leaped up and charged angrily at Gastrodon like a great ape!
Ding Ding was startled; if this guy got close, would anything good happen?
"Water Pulse!"
Gastrodon opened Zhang Zui and spat out a water sphere; before it could vibrate and spread, Slackoff King smashed it with a single palm strike and continued charging without stopping its steps!
"Earth Power!"
Stone pillars shot up from beneath Slackoff King's feet, trying to lift it up, but it stomped them flat with a single foot!
This domineering, unstoppable posture drew cheers from the crowd!
So even a Slaking can be this handsome! This powerful!
Right now, everyone's heart felt a longing: I want such a domineering Slaking too, but not the laziness!
Ding Ding was nearly scared to pee himself; casually countering an attack like that—was this a god?
"It must not get close! Use Muddy Water!"
The wave of filthy water surged again, yet it could not stop the Slaking's steps; seeing it leap up, raising a fist the size of a clay pot, it smashed down at the Shellos below!
"Hydro Pump!"
Ding Ding, still not giving up, made one last struggle!
Bang!
Even Hydro Pump could not stop the Slaking; it was violently blasted apart as the fist crashed onto the Shellos!
The arena collapsed, stones flew everywhere, and the Shellos was hammered flat!
Having done all this, the Slaking simply flopped down; even a ground littered with rubble could not stop its will to lie flat.
Moreover, it was only a few meters from Ding Ding, making his little heart go thump-thump-thump in terror!
As for the Shellos, there was no need to even look!
"The Shellos is unable to battle. Please, Ding Ding... ahem, please send out the third Pokémon, contestant Ding Ding!"
Damn, I was led astray!
Facing Ding Ding's resentful gaze, the referee's face turned a bit red!
Ding Ding sighed, recalled the Shellos, took out a new Poké Ball, and then he was at a loss!
"This... what should I do?"
Because the Slaking was lying right on his side of the arena, which broke the rules.
The referee immediately said, "Contestant Bai Jing, please have your Slaking return."
Bai Jing shouted, "Lazy thing, did you hear? Come back now!"
The Slaking scratched its butt, pretending to be deaf.
The audience burst into laughter; many even abandoned their thoughts of raising a Slaking, because without a big heart, one would sooner or later be angered to death!
Facing the referee's piercing gaze, Bai Jing scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Coming, coming!"
"Come back quickly, or your extra meal is canceled!"
Only then did the Slaking, unwilling and reluctant, slowly get up and slowly walk back; that sluggish manner could make an impatient person die of anger!
