Chapter 667: You are not allowed to play Pokémon! Chapter 338
And before Trick Room is deployed, Camerupt has no first-move ability.
Under the accumulation of these small details, Qing Yu had the possibility of locking blood.
After noticing this, it was not so difficult to guess that Lucian would use Protect to protect Camerupt, and it was very reasonable.
Apart from this being the safest choice, Qing Yu also had reasons for not being able to adjust the rotation.
For Indeedee and Clefairy, the continuous sandstorm erosion had become quite fatal, and they certainly couldn't support it for long.
So Tyranitar certainly couldn't be sent to the field, and the timing for sending Excadrill was not good, so he could only let the two supports continue to work hard.
Soon, the Pokémon on the field began to act.
Except for Bronzong, who was using power to analyze rocks from the ground, the other three Pokémon chose Protect.
The final result was naturally that nothing happened on both sides.
And in the process, Camerupt made a "billion-point" small mistake when using Protect.
Logically speaking, this kind of mistake shouldn't appear on Lucian.
But perhaps because Qing Yu's command was too decisive and the rhythm was pulled too fast, even a super brain like Lucian couldn't keep up for a while.
He made the same mistake as the barrage—
Because Indeedee had already used Imprison and also showed her Protect move just now.
The effect of Imprison acts on Indeedee herself, but the restriction object is all the opponent's Pokémon.
So, like Bronzong using Trick Room, Camerupt was also affected by Indeedee and couldn't condense the Protect barrier.
Qing Yu clearly didn't expect Lucian to make a mistake, but the result didn't receive any impact.
After the three Pokémon acted, Bronzong, who was the slowest, tried to use Rock Slide to harvest but failed, all hitting the energy barrier in front of Clefairy and Indeedee.
And the situation on the field didn't seem to produce any new changes.
The legendary durable king Clefairy and Indeedee on Qing Yu's side managed to survive; even if they were to receive a sandstorm damage again, they would very likely fall, but they still stood on the field without falling.
"Indeedee, Psychic!"
"Clefairy, Moonlight!"
This time Qing Yu's command was incomparably decisive.
Whether the two Pokémon could exert their final value depended on this key move!
On Lucian's side, Bronzong, who still couldn't open Trick Room, could only clumsily continue to use Rock Slide.
And Camerupt couldn't get the first move at all.
So, rather than betting on the low-probability Protect, it was better to fight for it!
Thinking of this, Lucian didn't hesitate anymore—
"Bronzong, Rock Slide!"
"Camerupt, Earthquake!"
His idea was very simple: use Bronzong's Rock Slide to take down the two Pokémon first, and then use Camerupt's slightly slower Earthquake to severely damage Qing Yu's back-row Sandstorm brothers.
And because of the Light Screen opened by Clefairy, and Tyranitar's own Special Defense ability in the sandstorm is very excellent, so rather than continuing to hit the Special Attack moves that Camerupt is better at, it is better to use Earthquake to fight for it.
The idea was good, and the two Pokémon on Qing Yu's side had supported for long enough, and they couldn't do anything about his strong attack at all.
So, this round of exchange ended in both sides suffering.
Indeedee's first-move Psychic effect was pretty good; after hitting Camerupt, it caused about 40% physical strength damage, which was quite considerable for it, which was already at the end of its rope.
And Clefairy, whose physical strength had almost dried up, used Moonlight with the end of the sandstorm, and its physical strength recovered quite a bit under the bright light.
Next, Bronzong's Rock Slide started, and it took away Indeedee, whose blood volume was like a candle in the wind, without accident.
For Clefairy, the damage of Rock Slide was very average, and it could even be said that there was no threat at all.
Regarding this, Qing Yu also had expectations in his heart and decisively sent Excadrill to fill the position.
Because the opponent didn't open Trick Room, the lineup had also been determined, and the only high-speed Lilligant had been solved by Indeedee.
So in the subsequent battle, Excadrill's speed would inevitably lead the whole field.
There was no need for Tyranitar to leave the field to trigger the Sand Rush ability.
And after Excadrill appeared, Mega Camerupt was late to realize, stepping fiercely on the battlefield, releasing its incomparably wild power.
Theoretically, Earthquake would cause damage to all Pokémon on the field except itself.
However, Bronzong, which was closest, managed to avoid its attack effect because it was floating in the air.
Qing Yu was not surprised by this.
After all, although Bronzong has two practical abilities, Heatproof and Levitate, Heatproof can only reduce damage, while Levitate can completely ignore any Ground-type attacks.
The advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.
Except in some special cases, such as predicting that the opponent predicted that he carried a Levitate Bronzong, so he took out the Heatproof ability to surprise, otherwise there would only be one ability choice of Levitate.
The wild ground tremor resounded through the field, and the Earthquake attack that was extremely restrained to Excadrill blasted toward it and the Clefairy beside it instantly.
However...
It is true that Excadrill, which is a Ground + Steel composite type, is weak to Ground, but for one thing, Lucian's Camerupt clearly uses Special Attack moves as its main output means, and the lethality of the Earthquake used to avoid Light Screen is not that terrifying.
Secondly, Clefairy is still standing on the field.
Plus the effect of Friend Guard, theoretically, this move could have killed Excadrill in seconds, but in the end, it only consumed nearly 2/3 of its physical strength.
As for Clefairy...
Its little body didn't know how much energy it contained; the half blood that was hard-lifted by Moonlight actually resisted the continuous impact of Bronzong's Rock Slide and Mega Camerupt's Earthquake without falling.
From Qing Yu's calm expression, a conclusion could also be drawn:
Clearly, when Qing Yu chose it as a support, he had already anticipated the appearance of this scene.
He didn't choose randomly, but came prepared.
After another round of exchange, the situation came to 1:1.
Although Qing Yu's loss looked obvious, one dead and one injured only exchanged for less than half of Camerupt's physical strength.
But if you put it another way...
At the cost of losing Indeedee, a capable general, and most of Excadrill's physical strength, Qing Yu's situation was finally brought to life.
【Clefairy can actually be so fleshy? As expected of Teacher Yu's strict selection; I've learned it, I'll take it to disgust others!】
【Friend Guard actually seems quite useful... If it weren't for Clefairy, Excadrill would basically be heavily damaged after coming in and taking an Earthquake, right? If it weren't for this Light Screen, I feel like it might have been a direct giveaway?】
【It would probably be a white gift; with Mega Camerupt's lethality, a direct Earth Power would kill it in seconds...】
【Sandstorm team? Passive team! Clefairy is equivalent to disguisedly raising the teammate's physical strength by 1/3; it seems to be really practical in doubles!】
Compared to the barrage that was discussing hotly and was exceptionally excited, Lucian, who was sitting in front of the screen at this time, showed a bitter smile.
"Maybe I'm going to lose."
After shaking his head helplessly, Lucian immediately concluded.
Undoubtedly, the value of the Friend Guard ability was vividly expressed in this battle, even far exceeding the imagination he had expected in advance.
Normally, even if Excadrill didn't fall after eating Camerupt's attack, the remaining physical strength would be quite dangerous, and Bronzong could completely harvest it.
But due to the protection of Friend Guard plus Light Screen, the Earthquake damage that Camerupt barely hit was not fatal, and it didn't even let it enter the execution line.
Sometimes it was just that little bit, but it formed a chasm.
Even if Bronzong made up an Earthquake, Lucian didn't dare to say that he could definitely deal with it.
If he had known Clefairy was so capable of resisting, he would have chosen to let Mega Camerupt use Earth Power and forcibly hit single-target damage just now.
The advantage of Earthquake is that if Clefairy is also broken, after Tyranitar appears, Qing Yu's side will have exhausted all his cards, and there will be no more back-row space for more games.
It's a pity, it's still a move behind.
Lucian sighed helplessly.
And after Excadrill safely appeared, the problem that he didn't have the first-move power on his side would be infinitely magnified.
The Clefairy and Indeedee on the field before were both double supports, and their actual threat to his side was not great, so he was the more active one without the first-move power.
But Excadrill's lethality to the Sunny system is not small, and the first-move Earthquake is definitely enough to clear Mega Camerupt's remaining physical strength.
In doubles battles, he, who lost Lilligant, only has one weather setter, Torkoal, in the back row.
And Torkoal is impossible to appear.
Because if it can't appear after Tyranitar, or at the same time as Tyranitar, the weather will inevitably be covered by Qing Yu as a sandstorm.
By then, it will only be more unfavorable for himself.
Even if he doesn't want the weather, Torkoal after appearing will immediately eat Excadrill's Earthquake, not only attribute restraint but also amazing lethality.
Theoretically, Excadrill is also weak to the Fire-type output of the Sunny team, and one move can easily take it away.
But the problem is, he doesn't have a first-move opportunity, and he will definitely be hit by it first...
Mega Camerupt, whose blood volume is already unhealthy, can't take it at all, and Torkoal will also be severely damaged, and will be taken away by the second Earthquake before it can make a move.
The only Bronzong that can avoid damage by relying on the Levitate ability can't do anything to the opponent, and can only try to forcibly open Trick Room.
So, Lucian only has the only choice now.
"Bronzong, Trick Room!"
"Camerupt, Protect!"
If he can successfully open Trick Room, there is still hope to use Torkoal to counter-kill the opponent.
Now he can only bet on this.
But in fact, Lucian had already guessed how Qing Yu would resolve his final fight.
Although Clefairy can't learn Trick Room, and there is no way to Taunt Bronzong, but...
There is such a move that Teacher Yu often uses, and its lethality in this kind of endgame will be very terrifying.
"Clefairy, Encore!"
"Excadrill, High Horsepower!"
Qing Yu's voice quickly came through the screen, making Lucian show a relieved smile.
I knew it!
With Qing Yu's proficiency in these moves, how could he not think of using Encore to kill the game at this time...
The Pokémon on both sides quickly began to act.
The first to act is naturally Excadrill, who is the fastest in the whole field; it uses a safe High Horsepower, but it is blocked by Camerupt's Protect barrier.
The power of High Horsepower is slightly weaker than Earthquake, and the strike range is also much smaller.
But compared to Earthquake, at least this move won't take the teammate away together, so even if it hits the Protect barrier, Qing Yu can accept it.
As for the other side, the pink Clefairy throws a stream of energy, which quickly sinks into Bronzong, who is trying its best to accumulate psychic power and preparing to cast Trick Room.
Affected by the special energy of Encore, its movements quickly stopped, and it couldn't help but use the move it used last time.
Because Bronzong just used Rock Slide to take away Indeedee, it could only continue to throw rocks after being locked by Encore, unable to open Trick Room to reverse speed.
And with its attack ability, the damage of Rock Slide is clearly very limited, and it is even like scraping on Excadrill, and the physical strength bar didn't move much.
As for Clefairy, it has been beaten since it appeared on the field not long after the game started, but it still stands without falling, and even its physical strength is not much different from Excadrill, who just appeared...
Clearly, this scene refreshed the cognition of quite a few water friends.
【How can this Clefairy be so unkillable? Is it opening a blood-locking cheat...】
【Although I really want to complain, but thinking that Teacher Yu used Blissey with Eviolite before, it seems much more reasonable.】
【Hmm... sometimes I feel that it's pretty good for Teacher Yu to play routines, at least let the brothers have an expectation, so that they won't break their defense when they see these underworld things in the future.】
【The most miserable should be Lucian on the opposite side; this Clefairy really just keeps hanging around and won't leave; it's too desperate!】
【Is there anyone who calculates how many dirty moves Lucian ate in this game?】
Hmm... it seemed his talk therapy level was still pretty good?
