Chapter 119

After dodging Aerodactyl's attack, the Speed Boost ability was triggered.

Yanmega's speed successfully surpassed the opponent, and one Ancient Power took down Aerodactyl.

This move has a probability of stimulating the Pokémon's original power after hitting the opponent, making all attributes strengthened, but the probability is low, so it was not triggered.

Qingyu didn't care; after all, it was just a gamble on luck.

Who let Yanmega only learn this Rock-type move, and it's even its evolution condition?

And now, there is another relatively awkward problem in front of him—

Although it also has Scolipede's same Speed Boost, the dragonfly has no tentacles, which means...

It cannot Baton Pass!

If he had known that the opponent was Dragonite-Bird, Qingyu would have replaced it with Flygon.

At least this ground dragon can learn Stone Edge and Dragon Dance, and maybe it could cause some extra effects that kill the opponent's heart.

And Lance probably doesn't know about Yanmega's skill pool.

So to be safe, he chose to send out his trump card to quickly solve the opponent.

Red light flashed, and a simple-looking, round-bellied flying dragon appeared on the field, its small wings flapping from time to time, looking cute instead, with no threat at all.

【It appeared, it's Dragonite-Bird's trump card, Dragonite!】

Dragonite, a late-blooming Pokémon, with strong strength.

Its population is extremely rare in Kanto, and it was once considered a rare Mythical Pokémon.

Regarding this, Qingyu only wants to say...

The prototype is the four regions of the Japanese archipelago, which is still too barren; if you have time, please invite Mr. Lance to Paldea to see the world.

The Dratini of Casseroya Lake are already overflowing!

Back to the battle.

After Dragonite appeared, it immediately lifted a giant rock, and Qingyu also immediately made the same command:

"Stone Edge/Ancient Power!"

Both sides spoke in unison, and both Pokémon were not polite, each blasting their own moves.

Hit by Stone Edge, Yanmega's health bar was directly cleared and recalled by Qingyu.

Dragonite was only scratched, and countless scales covering its body fell off, blocking most of the impact for it.

It looks a bit of a loss, but in fact, it is indeed a big loss.

But Yanmega's accidental appearance was not in Qingyu's plan, and it is not critical to this battle.

The 4x weakness to Rock is really too painful; everyone on Lance's side has the ability to one-shot it, so being able to break Dragonite's Multiscale can already be considered to have a role...

A Kricketune in the back row that is like a candle in the wind, coming up is just giving it away;

Heracross is 4x weak to Flying, which is equal to one less person in front of Lance's Flying-type army;

Scizor is 4x weak to Fire, and facing Dragonite, which has a very wide range of moves, there is no room to play.

Just after using a Yanmega as cannon fodder, there are three Pokémon in the back row that cannot be sent out, and the scene in front of him is desperate just thinking about it.

Under such a disadvantage, Qingyu's choices are really not many.

If there was a Gliscor that could set up Stealth Rock, he wouldn't be so uncomfortable...

But it is precisely this kind of big headwind game that Qingyu thinks is the most interesting part of Pokémon battles!

Qingyu feels that his brain is incredibly clear at this moment.

He only has one possibility to win against Lance now, and that is—

"Turn the tide, Drapion!"

The moment Drapion appeared, Lance reacted immediately and also saw the opponent's little thoughts.

"Dragonite, Earthquake."

This Pokémon does have a certain degree of deception; many people will mistakenly think it is a Bug-type Pokémon, but in fact, it is a Poison+Dark type combination...

Therefore, it only has one weakness, the Ground type.

And Dragonite's almost perfect attack range allows it to easily defeat this Bug that doesn't know its own strength and continue to maintain suppression on the opponent.

"YA★DA★ZE!"

Hearing Lance's command, Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said the next command at light speed.

"Drapion, Ice Fang!"

As Dragonite's power invaded beneath the ground, the earth soon began to tremble, and surging energy caused indiscriminate attacks in all directions.

Just at this moment, Drapion revealed a firm gaze.

It saw it jump up and jump directly towards the low-flying Dragonite, its sharp teeth still covered with some ice crystals.

The power of Ice Fang is not high, but it is a noble Ice-type move.

And the Flying-Dragon family represented by Dragonite is one of the victims of the 4x weakness to Ice.

This is a gamble; I bet you will shoot first!

Without the protection of Multiscale, when Drapion's sharp teeth touched Dragonite, the accumulated frost power instantly erupted, and its health bar began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye, until—

Completely cleared.

One-hit kill!

Dragonite's body fell rapidly, but the aftermath of the earthquake still hadn't stopped.

If it's one-for-one, it's acceptable...

Another Dragonite is enough to solve all the opponent's remaining Pokémon.

Just when Lance was thinking this, he suddenly noticed the item wrapped around Drapion's tail.

And then, his eyes widened instantly.

The eye-catching red balloon defied the laws of physics and stabilized Drapion's trend of falling, suspending it in the low air and dodging the fatal impact.

After the earth calmed its anger, Drapion landed slowly, still standing on the earth!

【Ah? Balloon Drapion? It seems quite reasonable, treating it as the Levitate ability directly with no weaknesses...】

【TMD, it's burning! General Drapion cut down that mere Dragonite with one slash!】

【Could it be?】

Aerodactyl and Dragonite fell one after another, and the score came to 2:1.

As the comments said, just looking at the score, it is obvious that Qingyu has a small advantage.

But at this time, it is too early to say who wins or loses.

When Lance recalled the fallen Dragonite, Qingyu also synchronized and recalled Drapion.

From the moment he used Yanmega as cannon fodder, he had already accurately predicted all the subsequent trends.

And before the counterattack arrived, the item carried by this Drapion was crucial.

Even though the balloon had been exposed, it could still help it avoid the fatal weakness of the Ground type before it was impacted and shattered, so he wanted to keep this trump card until the moment to kill the game as much as possible.

Although not on the field, Drapion's deterrent power had already been played out.

As long as its state remains healthy, Lance's next Dragonite cannot easily appear; otherwise, if its Multiscale is scratched off, it will inevitably repeat the same mistakes.

Qingyu sent out Scolipede again, and was countered by Lance's Gyarados's Intimidate.

For his relay team, which has many physical attackers, the interference of the Intimidate ability is still very troublesome.

God knows he originally just took a job from Zhulan, thinking about playing a relay team to bully passersby and show off his ideas.

As a result, he was the one sweating now...

After all, why did I match with this person!

While cursing the magical matching mechanism in his heart, Qingyu was thinking about the next step.

At this time, the most robust approach is to continue to Protect and freeload on Speed Boost.

Robust means no mistakes.

But at the same time, it will naturally lose the opportunity to break the predicament.

Especially since he had already commanded like this twice, a trainer at Mr. Lance's level would definitely seize his habits.

So...

It's already at this point, how can you win without being greedy!

"Scolipede, Swords Dance!"
