Chapter 296

"Dragonite, Ice Beam!"

Lance spoke again quickly.

Because Garchomp had already boosted once, and the multiple scales on Dragonite's body had also been consumed a lot by the sandstorm, it no longer had defensive capabilities.

So he conservatively chose to open the distance, trying to use Ice Beam to consume the opponent.

"Garchomp, Scale Shot!"

Zhulan spoke almost at the same time as him.

The two Pokémon quickly opened the distance, and the light and the shot scales went back and forth above the field.

Because both sides were relatively conservative, after a round of probing, both sides easily dodged their respective attacks.

However, for Zhulan, her goal had been achieved.

"Scale Shot is a good move."

Xiang Qingyu couldn't help but let out a sigh, and when he noticed Lance's tightly furrowed brows, he immediately realized that he had also figured out Zhulan's plan.

Scale Shot is a move that uses Garchomp's own scales as bullets to fire rapidly and continuously.

Although the lack of scale protection temporarily reduced its defense a lot, it was almost unplayable if it took an Ice Punch anyway, so it didn't make any difference.

It was because of the weight of these missing scales that its speed was taken to the next level; now even Dragonite with Tailwind support could barely keep up.

Next, if Dragonite continued to consume like this, Garchomp's advantage would obviously only get bigger and bigger.

Because Tailwind cannot be maintained forever, but Garchomp's combat power improvement is unaffected.

The increasing pressure made a drop of hot sweat flow down Lance's forehead; under high-speed thinking, he quickly came up with a way to break the situation—

"Dragonite, Haze!"

Haze, an Ice-type status move, affects all Pokémon on the field by raising black mist on the field.

Once the black mist is inhaled, all of Garchomp's previous arrangements will be useless, and it will become extremely dangerous because of the side effects of Scale Shot.

Although after using this move, Dragonite's moves on Lance's side will be completely locked, but as long as this Garchomp that has finished boosting can be dealt with, it will be worth it.

While Lance was encouraging himself in his heart, Zhulan's command voice also sounded again at the same time—

"It's now, Garchomp."

"Rush up and use Outrage!"

After the trainer behind her made a decisive command, Garchomp immediately took action.

Garchomp attacked almost at the same time as Dragonite; at this time, it had already reached Dragonite's close range with terrifying speed, and its scarlet eyes stared straight at Dragonite, which was raising black mist.

The moment the black mist touched its body, Garchomp roared to the sky; some scales on its body had already stood up layer by layer, looking very oppressive.

The terrifying pressure instantly swallowed Dragonite.

If hit by this move, it would likely lose consciousness directly!

Out of instinct, Dragonite wanted to condense an Ice Punch to solve this terrifying opponent first.

However, it was too late.

Garchomp ignored defense completely and launched a fierce offensive like a tide, leaving Dragonite with nowhere to hide.

Because it lost the protection of multiple scales, Dragonite couldn't handle the power of Outrage and soon lost consciousness in the air and fell to the ground.

After making a scene regardless, when Garchomp regained consciousness, it only felt a trance in its spirit.

It quickly slapped its face, and after recovering a bit, it immediately took out a Lum Berry from behind and swallowed it, and its eyes became much clearer.

【Good guy, you're really ruthless to yourself, but you actually brought a Lum Berry; if you were taken out directly, wouldn't there be no chance to eat it...】

【To some extent, Champion Zhulan is also quite confident, believing that Garchomp can counter-kill Dragonite.】

【Isn't this nonsense? If you don't even have this confidence, what kind of Masters Tournament are you playing!】

"It is indeed a very bold choice..."

Xiang Qingyu also broke into a cold sweat for Zhulan and Garchomp.

You know, the Lum Berry has almost no effect on this battle; only after Garchomp uses Outrage to solve the opponent does it have a chance to eat it and regain its sanity during the gap of changing people.

If Garchomp were hit by Dragonite once, the result could be reversed.

However, it was precisely because of this absolute confidence in herself and Garchomp's strength that Zhulan was able to take the first city.

There are also gaps between pseudo-legendaries.

"The score is now 1-0; because of the influence of the black mist just now and the fact that Outrage consumed a lot of physical strength, Zhulan chose to withdraw her main force at the same time as Lance."

On Lance's side, Tyranitar, which had appeared in the exhibition match, appeared again, and as soon as it appeared, it caused a sandstorm to rise on the field again.

Zhulan sent out Kommo-o as a match-up.

Taking advantage of the gap before both sides started fighting again, Xiang Qingyu inserted two small pieces of knowledge in a timely manner:

"Tyranitar's type combination is Rock+Dark; not only is it not a Dragon-type Pokémon, but it also has many weaknesses."

"But because the strength of the pseudo-legendary is unquestionable, in fact, except for the four-times weakness to the Fighting type, other weaknesses are not critical, and can even be used to help trigger Weakness Policy."

"However..., it just so happens that Zhulan's Pokémon is a fighting dragon; I feel it's very difficult for Tyranitar to match up with it."

【Good guy, Tyranitar is the king of porcelain bumping, right? Carrying Weakness Policy and begging the opponent to hit it!】

【Although Teacher Yu seems to be right, Lance doesn't seem to have any intention of withdrawing Tyranitar...】

【No way, don't forget that Lance has another Dragonite in his hand; if it's hit by the sandstorm summoned by his own teammate and loses its multiple scales, I feel that slicing will definitely be on the Poké TV hot list tomorrow, hahahaha!】

Xiang Qingyu nodded.

Just as the comments said, Lance's current situation is already very awkward.

In the 3v3 format, once you are broken through first, the disadvantage is actually very large.

What's more, both the type and the weather are actually more unfavorable to himself...

Unless Tyranitar uses Play Rough to take out Kommo-o in one hit, it's still too difficult to turn the tables, right?

But can your old Tyranitar learn Play Rough?

It can't learn it!

Xiang Qingyu sighed.

The outcome of this battle can already be almost determined in his heart.

Two more chapters; I'll finish the Masters Tournament in one go today. I've really written a bit too much about battles recently; there shouldn't be any for a while, at most just inserting a few livestreams-. -
