Chapter 693: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 354
But it doesn't matter, as long as it is a Pokémon, it must have weaknesses, and there must be areas it is not good at.
Must study hard on how to target it!
While helpless, Cattleya's heart soon rose with raging fire again.
Xiang Qingyu!
Even if a Divine Beast comes, it can't stop me from settling this matter with you completely!
I said it!
Clearly, Clefable's final struggle did not yield good results.
After blocking its Shadow Ball offensive, Mewtwo blasted out an Expanding Force again, easily taking Clefable away.
Standing on the Psychic Terrain, Mewtwo's sense of oppression increased sharply, making Will on the opposite side secretly grit his teeth, revealing a look of difficulty.
However, he soon adjusted his state, and after taking back Clefable, who fell to the ground and returned to its original size, into the ball, he immediately took out the second Poké Ball from his pocket.
"The second one... it's decided to be you!"
"Bronzong!"
The red light flashed again, and Bronzong, full of traces of weathering and seemingly from the ancient times, floated on the field.
"Bronzong, a very safe choice."
After Lance pondered for a moment, he gave a positive evaluation.
"Steel+Psychic attribute, it is more inclined to defense in terms of use, and it is the best choice when facing the Future Sight attack that may come at any time on the field."
"At the same time, the moves used by Mewtwo on Xiang Qingyu's side have been determined, and it can be concluded that it has no good way to deal with Bronzong."
The reason why Will chose Bronzong to play is not difficult to guess.
In the game with Clefable just now, Mewtwo used Teleport to avoid attacks, Psychic Terrain to create an advantageous terrain, and Expanding Force and Future Sight with great threats.
Although relying on Xiang Qingyu's decisive command, Mewtwo did solve Clefable at a small cost, but there was no advantage at all when facing Bronzong.
Four times resistance to Psychic moves, allowing it to circle with Mewtwo even if it comes hard.
However, such a shallow truth Xiang Qingyu should also know.
While thinking, Lance suddenly made a bold conjecture—
Could it be that Xiang Qingyu did this on purpose?
Theoretically, almost any Psychic-type Pokémon can eat the Future Sight used by Mewtwo earlier.
But because of the terrifying suppression power given by Expanding Force just now, Will, who was the first to lose personnel, had to deal with it cautiously, so he subconsciously made the decision of Bronzong's joint defense.
What if this was also in Xiang Qingyu's expectation?
Judging from the terrifying prediction and calculation ability he showed during the online battle, there is really a great possibility!
Thinking of this, Lance lowered his head again, looked at the black-haired young man on the field who was still holding a confident smile, and confirmed his thoughts even more.
Sure enough...
Although I don't know what he wants to do, from this point, it can be clearly felt that there is indeed a very terrifying gap in the trainer level between the two sides.
Without knowing it, Xiang Qingyu has even begun to guide Will's next action!
And Will himself is completely unaware.
What a little monster.
Lance made a heartfelt sigh in his heart.
Before this, except for the wild battle where the trainer would also play, few people gave him such an amazing feeling.
At least the consensus of these elite trainers in the past was:
Trainers are more inclined to improve the average level of Pokémon in the team at ordinary times, and the role they can play on the battle field is actually relatively limited.
But Xiang Qingyu doesn't think so.
On the battle field, he is the key man who decides the outcome!
The facts are indeed as Lance thought.
"Come back, Mewtwo."
After confirming Will's choice, Xiang Qingyu made a rotation adjustment without hesitation.
After all, Mewtwo's four moves have all been used, and it can trick the opponent into a Pokémon with defensive functions. Mewtwo has already won.
It just gave him a chance to rotate safely.
Unlike previous opponents, Will this time is still very capable, but it is still a bit immature compared to himself, and did not realize his plan.
After the battle just now, he had basically estimated Mewtwo's current level. Although continuing to stay on the field could probably rely on hard strength to force through the opponent with Expanding Force, it would inevitably consume a lot of stamina for Mewtwo, which is not very worthwhile.
Therefore, Xiang Qingyu decided to make a quick decision to avoid flipping the car.
Mewtwo also expressed understanding of this and didn't say much.
It's just that in its heart, it still silently complained:
Why does it feel like the Psychic Master Tournament, as an international event, is not as good as the Gym battle where I play tricks with Paldea students?
Is it my illusion?
The red light flashed, and Mewtwo's figure soon disappeared.
"Bronzong, Trick Room!"
At this time, Will also realized the major mistake he made afterwards.
Bronzong has almost no suppression power, and facing Xiang Qingyu's rotation, he seems to be able to stare.
In order to stop his decline as much as possible, Will soon made a command to reverse speed for Bronzong.
Because no matter what Xiang Qingyu's next choice is, it is almost impossible to be slower than his clumsy Bronzong.
"Lucario!"
While Lucario appeared, the Future Sight attack left by Mewtwo earlier also appeared again, falling towards Bronzong, who was strengthening itself in place and trying to form a copper wall and iron wall.
It's a pity, even with Mewtwo's combat power. For it, it is still painless.
Withstanding the powerful Psychic attack, Trick Room had been fully charged and covered the entire field as a Psychic stance.
In this magical space, speed will be reversed, and Lucario also clearly felt that its footsteps became heavier.
However...
"Lucario!"
Lucario frowned, and then subconsciously reached out to hold the weight ring on its other wrist.
If I take off the weight combination now, will the speed become faster or slower?
For Will's on-the-spot adjustment, Xiang Qingyu couldn't help but nod secretly.
At the same time, for Will's next command, he also had a general idea in his heart.
So Xiang Qingyu didn't rush to command Lucario to make a move, but still stood behind the field calmly, watching the opponent with a smile.
"Bronzong, Body Press!"
Seeing this, Will chose to make a pursuit decisively.
Although I don't know why Xiang Qingyu chose to give himself an obvious flaw, maybe it's just to give this fan a chance to perform?
But at this moment, he couldn't care so much.
Body Press is one of the few moves Bronzong can use to cause effective damage to Lucario, and because its power is related to the hardness of the Pokémon's body, it can also play a stronger suppression for Bronzong.
If one Body Press can't solve it, then do it a second time.
Anyway, in Trick Room, Bronzong's speed is absolutely leading, and it is not afraid of not hitting Lucario at all.
"Sure enough..."
Seeing Bronzong suddenly rushing towards Lucario, Xiang Qingyu immediately confirmed his conjecture in his heart.
So, he decisively took out the countermeasure he had already thought of.
"Lucario, Counter."
While Xiang Qingyu smiled and spoke, Lucario had already understood, and set up a defensive posture.
This move was used when it was still a Riolu, in the battle with Eevee.
Because Lucario was too cautious, its concentration during battle was very exaggerated, and even at that time, it played an exaggerated style of play where Eevee's moves didn't hit, and Riolu used Counter first.
Xiang Qingyu hadn't let it use this move much before, except for fear that its small body before evolution couldn't hold it, he also wanted to let it be more active and not be too cautious.
And now, affected by Trick Room, it finally used the "squatting" style of play that it had learned since childhood and had high proficiency.
This muscle of mine is not practiced in vain!
Bronzong is like a fierce giant beast driving at high speed, and the suppression power when rushing is incredibly amazing.
However, as the distance between the two Pokémon quickly approached, Lucario, as the opponent, did not dodge, but set up a defensive posture similar to sumo wrestling in advance, seemingly intending to use both hands to complete the first wave of unloading.
Bronzong's barbaric collision soon made the two Pokémon enter the head-on confrontation link.
However, even with the advantage of weight, Bronzong didn't seem to get any benefit.
Lucario's arm muscles exploded instantly, and after quickly resolving its momentum with terrifying strange power, it immediately revealed a somewhat cruel smile.
"Lucario Lucario Lucario!"
Endless fists like rain were frantically swung on Bronzong's body surface. After Body Press was blocked head-on, it had no room to move and could only bear this combination punch with amazing momentum.
The whole audience was dumbfounded.
"This... didn't Teacher Yu say it was Counter? Why do I remember that Counter is to hit the opponent's attack back twice?"
"How many punches is this, and it's still Counter, I think it should be renamed Hundred Times Counter!"
"This time I was really scared to cry, close combat will be blocked by Lucario and then frantically counterattacked, long-range confrontation can't beat it, if the distance is pulled closer, it will take the initiative to attack, and the move coverage is ridiculously wide, Teacher Yu, teach me how to battle this Lucario..."
After an unknown amount of time, Lucario, who finally finished "Counter", exerted force on its right hand, swung the last uppercut as a finishing move, and then turned its back, leaving only a firm back to the opponent.
Boom—
Bronzong fell on its back, and its eyes quickly flashed with multiple circles.
Reasonably speaking, Bronzong shouldn't be so afraid of Fighting-type moves, but thinking about Lucario probably hitting hundreds of punches in an instant, even Will himself felt a bit reasonable...?
Clearly this Lucario had taken out his Bronzong in a single breath, but why...
Does he even feel it's a bit handsome?
"..."
At the commentary table, Lance also fell into silence.
Don't think I don't know...
The attack of this Lucario just now definitely used the martial arts thought of another secret school of the Armor Island Dojo, "Surging Strikes", right?
I am afraid that even if Master Mustard personally cultivates a Lucario from scratch, its strength may not be stronger than this one of Xiang Qingyu in just half a year...
What a complete monster.
On the big screen, a Poké Ball light under Will's avatar went out again, and the score came to 2:0.
Will, who had entered a desperate situation, had no choice, and finally could only send out his most proud initial partner Xatu, hoping to save some face with the bond.
However...
The bond might be useful, but it is unlikely to be useful in this match.
Because the Psychic+Flying attribute has an obvious weakness, and it just happens to be what Lucario has shown before—
"Lucario, use Extreme Speed to close the distance, and then use Throat Chop to end this battle!"
Facing Xatu, who can fly, Xiang Qingyu decisively chose Throat Chop as the ending.
Although compared to close combat, long-range confrontation is also Lucario's comfort zone, and for Xatu of the Flying attribute, as long as it flies up and pulls away the distance, it can easily get out of Lucario's attack range.
But as Xatu's teammate Bronzong, it played the role of a black sheep invisibly at this time. ===== CHAPTER 695 =====
