Chapter 630: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 314

"I calculated it, and it's really about right, because Sandstorm itself has the effect of increasing the Special Defense of Rock-type Pokémon, plus Tyranitar's durability is also terrifying, so 4x effectiveness really isn't that fatal."

"Was this also in your calculations, Teacher Yu???"

Seeing Tyranitar still standing tall, Xiang Qingyu felt relieved.

Honestly, this step was actually a bit of a gamble.

Because he really didn't want to hand over the advantage he had just obtained.

Zhulan is very good at this playstyle. Once she gains an advantageous matchup, the suppression is simply too terrifying.

Therefore, Xiang Qingyu chose to believe in Tyranitar's tankiness.

Facts proved that he was right.

Under the Sandstorm weather, Tyranitar's resistance to special attacks is incredibly powerful, and the power of Aura Sphere itself is not that high, so the overall lethality is not as great as imagined.

Therefore, unless Zhulan's Togekiss carried Choice Specs, there would be some possibility of one-shotting it, otherwise, she could only watch Tyranitar Mega Evolve on the spot.

This is also the main reason why Tyranitar's appearance rate has been stable, even though it has many weaknesses, before Urshifu appeared.

With its own Sandstorm, it basically only fears Close Combat and Low Kick, and even a 4x effective Aura Sphere can be withstood with its physical body.

Very reliable.

And under the non-restricted rules, Togekiss's functionality has achieved a qualitative leap, so Xiang Qingyu could be almost certain that Zhulan couldn't possibly let it carry Choice Specs to limit its moves.

Now, the opportunity for victory is right in front of him, and he can start to counterattack!

"Tyranitar, Rock Slide!"

Xiang Qingyu spoke decisively.

Togekiss, with Fairy+Flying type, can be immune to Ground-type moves, but is restrained by the Rock type.

And Tyranitar's Rock Slide is definitely fatal!

With a roar from the Sandstorm King, countless gravel was thrown into the sky by its powerful tail, aiming directly at Togekiss, which was still in the buffer period after using the move.

Togekiss's durability is actually not bad, but under the 2x effectiveness and Tyranitar's terrifying desire to attack, it still directly lost its combat ability.

The score became 2:1.

Xiang Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief again.

Honestly, every time he uses a Rock-type move, he feels an inexplicable pressure.

Although this type of move is easy to use, the accuracy is generally not full, so occasionally there will be some key misses that make one's blood pressure soar.

If Tyranitar's Rock Slide hadn't hit the opponent just now, Tyranitar would definitely have been given away for free, and his layout would have completely become a joke...

The precise planning of the whole game was eventually destroyed by a damn miss, leading to a total collapse. Whoever it was would have a mental breakdown.

Fortunately, today, the Goddess of Luck seemed to be on his side.

"Hiss— actually counter-killed??? When Aura Sphere hit Tyranitar just now, it almost scared me to death..."

"Handsome and powerful, how can there be such a perfect Pokémon? From today on, I am a die-hard fan of Tyranitar!!"

"Truth be told, would a normal person really gamble that the opponent can't kill them like Teacher Yu? This is too desperate..."

"Rather than gambling, it's more like Teacher Yu's battle memory has become an instinct. Because he is confident that he won't be one-shot, he dares to do this kind of risky behavior!"

"TMD, it's burning! Teacher Yu, forever the god!"

The playstyle of trading damage for a life is actually very rare for Xiang Qingyu.

Under normal circumstances, he would choose a more stable playstyle with a wider score gap.

But because of this, today's "all-out battle" made the audience feel like they had been injected with chicken blood and started to burn along with it.

Zhulan silently withdrew the fallen Togekiss, and at the same time, Xiang Qingyu made the same choice.

Tyranitar had already played a role far beyond expectations, and the Sandstorm weather had already started. The one appearing next is naturally—

The speed star of the Sandstorm team, the Sandstorm ace who kicked Garchomp, the true Garchomp and team core.

Excadrill!

(Excadrill, almost has Mega)

Under the Sandstorm, due to the influence of the Sand Rush ability, Excadrill's footsteps became incredibly light.

And on Zhulan's side, she also quickly sent out her third Pokémon.

Milotic, which had already appeared before and revealed the Flame Orb item it was carrying.

Different from the previous situation, Excadrill really couldn't do anything about it. If it were the Grass+Poison type Roserade, it might be much easier to handle.

So this time Xiang Qingyu didn't choose to be stubborn again and decisively chose to rotate.

The one replaced on the field was Rotom-Wash.

Facing opponents that are hard for the Sandstorm team to handle, Rotom-Wash and Scizor can well shoulder the responsibility of defensive pivot, and they also have their own unique skills.

For example, Rotom-Wash, when facing the Water and Ghost types with few weaknesses, not only has defensive pivot ability, but also hides two moves with not bad lethality, Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball, conversely threatening the opponent's survival space.

However...

This time, Zhulan didn't fall for it.

Xiang Qingyu clearly wanted to switch out Excadrill, and Zhulan made a calm command almost synchronized with his instruction—

"Milotic, Dragon Tail!"

Dragon Tail, a less common offensive method for the Dragon type.

Its power is not outstanding, but it has a very outrageous special effect after hitting.

Because the force of the attack is too great, like Roar and Whirlwind, Dragon Tail can force the opponent to rotate by forcing the opponent's Pokémon out of the field.

Therefore, Xiang Qingyu just sent Rotom-Wash onto the field, and it was immediately kicked away by Milotic's tail, having to rotate again.

The Mega Tyranitar, which had already completed its mission, was forced to work overtime on the field. Facing another Pokémon that restrained its type, its face was suddenly a bit confused.

"Tsk..."

Xiang Qingyu clicked his tongue secretly.

Honestly, this is not a good matchup choice.

However, as long as it's not Excadrill, which would definitely be handled by Milotic, he can actually accept it.

"Milotic, Hydro Pump!"

Zhulan made an aggressive command first again.

Different from Xiang Qingyu's mentality when using Rock Slide, Zhulan's tone didn't hesitate at all when shouting Hydro Pump, completely believing that her move would definitely not miss.

And Milotic also responded to her expectations.

After taking a deep breath, the Hydro Pump charged up in Milotic's mouth was spat out violently, aiming directly at the Mega Tyranitar on Xiang Qingyu's field.

Normally, Xiang Qingyu doesn't need to worry too much about this move.

But because of the act of trading damage for a life just now, Tyranitar's HP is not healthy at this time.

Now, whether it can lock HP and withstand Milotic's Hydro Pump is really hard to say.

"Tyranitar, Protect!"

Xiang Qingyu blurted out.

Just before Hydro Pump hit, Tyranitar's two short arms gathered a ball of energy in time, forming a transparent barrier to barely block the opponent's offensive.

At the same time, the dual erosion effects of Sandstorm and burn also began to take effect, making Milotic's face show a struggle.

"Come back, Tyranitar."

Xiang Qingyu knew very well that even if Milotic would lose HP continuously, for a Pokémon that can learn Recover, it is actually painless.

Therefore, if you want to solve it, you must break through head-on.

Rotom-Wash entered the field again, and Zhulan's countermeasure didn't change at all.

The second Dragon Tail hit Rotom-Wash again, causing some damage like spinning a top, and also making it retreat again.

"What are Teacher Yu and Champion Zhulan doing? Why can't I understand it anymore?"

"Clearly Zhulan doesn't want to matchup against Rotom-Wash, so she can only use Dragon Tail to replace it. She doesn't have any other Pokémon in her back row that can deal with Excadrill. If Milotic can't handle it, it seems the game is over?"

"Ah? Seems like it really is. Spiritomb can't be counted on, Roserade feels like it will be one-shot, Lucario may fall at any time, and the speed can't beat Excadrill..."

"So, is Teacher Yu going to win?"

"Still have to see how this Milotic will be handled, but Teacher Yu should have already thought of a solution."

Mainly because Xiang Qingyu really couldn't do anything about this Milotic for a while, because as long as Rotom-Wash, the only one that can handle it, rotates actively, it will definitely be kicked back by Milotic, and another lucky Pokémon will be randomly pulled up.

Tyranitar's speed is slower, Excadrill can't beat it, and the suppression of Skarmory and Scizor doesn't seem to be enough.

In general, both sides seem to be stuck now, and neither can do anything to the other.

Therefore, he decided to leave everything to the next rotation.

Soon the answer was revealed—

The Pokémon pulled up by Dragon Tail this time was Skarmory.

Although it took a hit of Aura Sphere from Lucario before, relying on the recovery effect of Sitrus Berry, Skarmory's current HP is still healthy.

When seeing it, Xiang Qingyu's eyes lit up immediately.

He had actually prepared to rotate Rotom-Wash a few more times until he got this Skarmory.

After all, Milotic's Dragon Tail lethality is limited, and it's painless for Rotom-Wash.

But didn't expect that a key turning point would appear so soon.

The appearance of this Skarmory also made Xiang Qingyu see hope for breaking the situation again.

"Skarmory, Tailwind!"

Xiang Qingyu made the command almost without hesitation.

Milotic can suppress Tyranitar, what does it rely on?

Clearly, it's the first-move advantage obtained because it's faster.

So, besides dealing with Milotic, this tricky trouble, is there another set of plans?

Let Tyranitar's speed exceed the opponent, so as to rely on Thunder Punch to heavily damage Milotic.

This is the solution given by Xiang Qingyu.

"Milotic, Hydro Pump!"

Both made commands almost at the same time. Because Milotic had a slight advantage in speed, its Hydro Pump charged up first, attacking Skarmory, which was hovering in the air and whipping up gusts of wind with its wings.

Clearly, for a trainer who believes they won't miss, the Pokémon will also tirelessly respond.

Hydro Pump hit again, instantly suppressing Skarmory's HP, which was still healthy, to a very dangerous state.

However, as long as it is still alive, Skarmory can continue to play a role.

The gusts driven by the steel wings quickly formed a stable airflow, providing stable wind power for the Pokémon on Xiang Qingyu's half, and also allowing their speed to gain a huge increase.

Seeing that there was only this much HP left, after thinking for a while, Xiang Qingyu decisively gave up the idea of letting it use Roost to save its life by relying on the first move.

Compared to surviving, playing its remaining heat at this time is the most appropriate.

So...

"Skarmory, Spikes!"

Xiang Qingyu spoke decisively.

The previous entanglement between Skarmory and Lucario eventually ended in both sides suffering.

And according to his observation, that Lucario's HP shouldn't be able to support even one layer of Spikes.

So, as long as this layer of Spikes is set down, it can completely cut off the possibility of it entering the field to linger on.

After all, the duration of Tailwind is not long. If Zhulan has the intention to drag it out, it's not that there is no chance to force it to enter the field and play an effect.

As for Skarmory...

"Thank you, Skarmory, your active sacrifice is meaningful!"
