Chapter 230: Against Wallace, use Salt Cure!

Clodsire, whose stamina remained healthy, took another Ice Beam head-on, then backhanded a Toxic onto Ludicolo's face.

After a round of mutual damage, Qingyu recalled Clodsire and sent out Blissey to defend against the next Ice Beam.

For Blissey, whose Special Defense is maxed out, it was no different from being tickled.

After backhanding a Light Screen, the rain effect on the field finally ended.

"This is troublesome..."

Wallace sighed in distress.

Facing this Blissey, he didn't have any good options and could only continue to switch.

The match hadn't started long, but because of various reasons, he didn't know how many times he had already rotated.

The opponent's ability to control the rhythm was truly top-tier; the previous few times he tried to predict, he basically predicted his thoughts, which made him play very uncomfortably.

What kind of trainer would assemble such an outrageous defensive lineup...

The strength is very strong, but he doesn't like to win using orthodox battle methods, but rather consolidates his own advantage through various unexpected moves.

He is most likely a master of Poison types, right?

Because of prejudice against some types, elite trainers who specialize in Poison types are actually very rare.

The only one Wallace could think of was Koga, the Poison-type master from Kanto.

However, it shouldn't be him.

That senior is from Kanto and isn't familiar with Pokémon like Glimmora and Clodsire.

Moreover, compared to guessing who the opponent is, holding on and biting off this victory is the most important thing.

Wallace took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his state.

Frequent switching had completely disrupted his offensive rhythm, and to win the match, he could only speed up and fight.

If he kept playing like this, Wallace felt he would soon have a prejudice against Poison-type Pokémon...

Encountering such disgusting tactics, it's hard not to hate them!

"I choose you, Politoed!"

Because Clodsire had laid two layers of Toxic Spikes all over his side of the field, the moment Politoed entered the field, its soles were pierced by the spikes, and it fell into a badly poisoned state.

Soon, dark clouds appeared over the field again, and the drizzling rain fell once more.

【Is the opponent really Wallace? Why send out Politoed against Toxic Spikes? Isn't there Gyarados?】

【But then again, this team is perverted, but it seems it can really win; Wallace is being tortured to the point of being a bit delirious...】

【Such underworld tactics, if I don't learn them, won't others learn them? So to avoid being disgusted, I have to disgust others first!】

【Makes sense, I've already started taking notes!】

"Where is the opponent delirious? I think Wallace is very clear-headed!"

The comments couldn't see Wallace's thoughts, but how could Qingyu not understand?

If he didn't dare to send out Politoed because of Toxic Spikes, the remaining Pokémon would still have to step on poison after Gyarados was dealt with.

Because he wouldn't give him a second chance to start the rain.

So sending out Politoed now was already Wallace's best and only choice.

"Politoed, Encore!"

Wallace quickly gave the command.

The opponent's Blissey's last move was Light Screen; as long as he could lock it, he could switch to Gyarados and use Dragon Dance to strengthen and prepare to sweep the team.

This was the only possibility for a comeback he could think of.

So, before confirming there was a chance to strengthen, he would never send out Gyarados, the only hope of the whole team.

"Come back, Blissey."

Before Politoed could use Encore, Qingyu decisively recalled Blissey.

After finishing Light Screen, its mission was more than half complete.

After all, the C-tier character today wasn't Blissey.

"Go, Garganacl!"

A giant made of rocks and white salt bricks appeared on Qingyu's field, and after taking the Encore from Politoed, it remained completely unmoved.

Lord Salt, enters the field!

Because it hadn't used any moves after entering, the effect of Encore had no influence on it.

【A pure Rock-type Pokémon, I feel like this match won't be easy to play; are you really going to play it hard?】

【Don't be anxious; after being mentioned by the streamer just now, I specifically checked the effect of Salt Cure, and I can only say... I hope Wallace is okay.】

【Good, good, hurry up and use Salt Cure on Wallace, Garganacl!】

Even many comments could guess what Qingyu was going to use next.

Regarding this, Qingyu expressed great gratification.

These silly kids finally know how to use the Pokédex to check Pokémon and moves; it seems his streaming during this period has been quite helpful to them!

"Garganacl, Salt Cure!"

"Politoed, Hydro Pump!"

Another round of confrontation in commands.

Garganacl is not known for its speed, and its slow body is quite inconvenient to move, so it was soon hit by the Hydro Pump sprayed by Politoed.

The power of a rain-boosted Hydro Pump is extremely terrifying; even with Light Screen offsetting some of the power, it still instantly blasted its health down by half.

And its counterattack soon began.

I saw Garganacl wave its big hand, and countless tiny salt crystal particles flew out with its movements, soon touching Politoed's body surface.

Because it is a Rock-type move, the damage caused by the move itself can only be said to be negligible, not even as much as the continuous health loss from poison.

But soon, as these inconspicuous salt grains gradually accumulated and soon formed crystals all over Politoed's body, Politoed immediately let out a painful cry.

And its stamina also passed away rapidly under the double torture of Salt Cure and poison.

?

Wallace frowned, realizing that things might not be simple.

At this time, he didn't care about the battle and cut the screen to check the information about Garganacl.

Because he didn't know much about Paldea, Wallace's understanding of this Pokémon was limited to its type.

He didn't know until he checked, and checking really gave him a fright...

The Salt Cure move just used by Garganacl, besides negligible damage, also causes the opponent to fall into a special "Salt Cure" state, causing continuous damage similar to poison.

At the same time, it is particularly effective against Water-type and Steel-type Pokémon.

"What kind of underworld move is this..."

Wallace's mouth twitched; isn't this clearly a move targeting him and Steven?

And he actually matched with it; it's outrageous!

All the arrangements the opponent made earlier were for this moment so that Lord Salt could successfully hold the field and hit this Salt Cure...

Now Wallace finally realized the truth.

But because of the information gap, by the time he reacted, everything was already too late.

Facing the double pressure of Salt Cure and poison, the stamina of his Politoed was flowing away at a very terrifying speed. ===== CHAPTER 232 =====
