Chapter 408 Yes, I hid something! This move, earthquake.
Chapter 408 That's right, I hid something! This move makes "Earthquake" and "Water Cannon" pale in comparison!
Generally speaking, battles in the real world of Pokémon are not like the turn-based system in the game, where you attack once and I attack once; that would seem very dull.
The battle became more complex, with both sides' offense and defense changing rapidly. However, any trainer or Pokémon with extensive battle experience would understand one thing: rhythm.
Just as breathing has its rhythm, so too does exerting force. The use of techniques and the mobilization of energy, or the offense and defense in combat, all have their own rhythm.
To give a simple example, singing involves varying the length of breath. Generally speaking, singing requires a breathing pause, which is a short breath, to provide breath for the next part of the song.
In Pokémon battles, after frequent and large-scale use of energy, there is a period of energy drop and adjustment, which is equivalent to a "breathing hole". This breathing hole is precisely the best opportunity for the opponent to counterattack.
A decrease in energy not only signifies a weakening of defense but also a lack of counter-attack capability. Seizing such an opportunity to launch a burst of attacks is undoubtedly the best choice.
The principle is simple, but it's difficult to execute in actual combat. There are too many factors to consider, such as whether the opponent has truly reached a breathing area or is just pretending, whether your own energy can withstand the opponent's burst of power, and whether the opponent can instantly squeeze out more energy if they react quickly enough, causing you to lose more than you gain...
Regardless, Ye Yinchuan and his Snorlax seized this opportunity, or more precisely, it was a long-planned move in their strategy!
"Go, Snorlax!"
Ye Yinchuan roared at this moment, not out of a fit of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) or to remind the opponent that he was about to unleash a powerful attack, but rather a tactic of a trainer to disrupt the enemy with a sudden loud noise.
Ye Yinchuan, in particular, received a lot of energy back from the Pokémon. At this moment, he roared with all his might, and it seemed to have the effect of some low-level Pokémon using sound-based moves. As a result, everyone and Pokémon present couldn't help but be attracted by his voice. Even the Dark Rhyhorn that was battling couldn't help but glance at Ye Yinchuan.
【Wait, has the streamer gone mad?】
What is he yelling about...?
"Click!"
The instant Ye Yinchuan roared, Snorlax also growled, reaching under its armpit and pulling out a grayish-white energy ball brimming with light...
The energy and destructive power within are terrifying. The moment it is pulled out, it is like a small sun, causing the surrounding light to dim!
"What?!"
The Dark Phoenix was also stunned when it saw Snorlax suddenly pull out an energy ball.
At this point, he no longer had the authority to give orders; everything was left to the rhinoceros to decide.
"Aww!"
The rhinoceros's gaze at that moment was a mixture of shock, anger, and bewilderment. After all, who could have imagined that in such a serious and solemn battle, the opponent would suddenly pull out such a thing from under his arm...
Is this scientifically sound?
[What kind of move is that? I've never seen it before. Who pulls a Rasengan out from under their armpit?]
Amidst his busy schedule, seeing the comments on the screen, Ye Yinchuan, though feeling a slight pain in his throat and lungs from his earlier shout, couldn't help but smile.
"It's a 'treasured' move! This move is a 'treasured' move!"
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, "Snorlax has long since learned this 'treasured' move, but it has never had the chance to use it in actual battle because the power of this move is just too great, a full 140 points. Moves like Earthquake and Water Gun have to take a backseat..."
In this Pokémon world, the effect of "Treasured" is different from that in the games. As mentioned earlier, in the games, you need to use all other moves before you can use "Treasured"...
In the real world, this manifests as a very long charging time for this move, making it easy for the enemy to anticipate or interrupt it if they notice it...
Ye Yinchuan had also considered the tactics of this move, but "Shadow of the Overlord" provided the optimal solution, which was to store the "Treasure" move under the armpit until it was fully charged!
As we all know, Snorlax's armpits are incredibly clever, capable of storing large amounts of food, and they also possess a special effect, allowing it to use moves like "Recycle," which is practically conceptual...
When Ye Yinchuan first saw the Overlord's Shadow secretly activate the "Treasured" move under his armpit, he was utterly astonished...
This is truly pushing the limits of Snorlax's armpit potential. Using it in battle will surely catch the enemy off guard and take them by surprise!
And indeed, this proved to be true. When Snorlax's "Treasured" Energy Ball slammed into Rhyhorn's face, the latter was completely caught off guard.
With a sharp crack, the black horn of the rhinoceros, which was still spinning at high speed, was snapped off.
Immediately following the energy burst, the gray-black energy ball exploded, like a small nuclear bomb slamming into the head of the rhinoceros, a devastating blow...
The energy that burst forth from it formed layers upon layers of stars, their colors dazzling, adding a touch of fairytale charm...
Judging from the way this move is performed, it's quite consistent with the effect of "Treasured" hitting an enemy in the original game—it explodes with stars...
The effects of this powerful attack, with a power of 140, had only just begun to manifest on the Drillhorn Rhinoceros, spreading rapidly like an avalanche...
Rhyhorn's tough armor makes it look like a Steel-type Pokémon, capable of withstanding a lot of damage. As a result, in its previous battle with Snorlax, Snorlax was noticeably more injured, while Rhyhorn's injuries were barely visible...
But this time it was completely different. The armor on the rhinoceros's body burst open inch by inch, and blood gushed out like arrows...
In some places, the armor even peeled off the skin, exposing the bloody and mangled internal tissue, and the exposed and shattered skull could be vaguely seen on the head where it was directly hit!
Holy crap, that's brutal, absolutely brutal!
[Is this the destructive power of Snorlax? So all that holding back for so long was for this moment of explosion!]
The viewers in the live stream were amazed. This was the first time Ye Yinchuan's Snorlax had shown such a tyrannical side in actual battle!
Ye Yinchuan remained calm, completely condoning the brutal treatment of Snorlax...
Because the battle right now is no small matter, but a matter of life and death for everyone and themselves. At this point, it would be too naive to think that there is any room for maneuver!
Once this "treasured" move is used, it doesn't matter whether the horned rhinoceros survives or not; what must be ensured is that the opponent is incapacitated...
After all, a powerful move with a long charging time and 140 points of power is a huge burden for Snorlax...
Such an attack would leave even a Snorlax with a huge energy reserve feeling completely drained, and it would enter a long period of weakness, with its combat power greatly reduced!
"Drill-horned rhinoceros, don't fall!"
When Xiao Hei saw this, he immediately panicked. Although his cloak covered most of his face, you could still see the distortion in his expression. As a Dark Pokémon, Rhyhorn hadn't even used its most powerful Dark moves yet. Was it going to be defeated so suddenly?
"roar……"
The rhinoceros, whose body was almost completely destroyed, was teetering on the brink of collapse like a candle in the wind. But even so, upon hearing Xiao Hei's shout, it managed to push off the ground with one foot, regaining its balance, and a burst of dark energy erupted from its body...
Here comes the dark technique!
"This is……"
Ye Yinchuan squinted and was shocked to see that there seemed to be a transparent, pitch-black energy line connecting Xiao Hei and the rhinoceros beast...
Clearly, some kind of energy and will from Xiao Hei was transferred to the Drillhorn Rhinoceros in this way, which is why the Drillhorn Rhinoceros was able to stand up even after being injured in this way, and even mobilize energy to fight back!
"This isn't some kind of willpower, nor is it a bond between a trainer and a Pokémon; it's pure control. To Black Rhyperior, it's nothing more than a puppet, a tool, its life or death is irrelevant!"
Ye Yinchuan silently drew a conclusion in his mind, and he was also worried for Snorlax, after all, he had no idea how effective this so-called dark move would actually be...
However, judging from the dark moves in the original games, they should be extremely effective against non-Dark Pokémon. It would be best to avoid getting hit if possible, but it seems there's no way to do so now...
"No, there's a way!"
Ye Yinchuan seemed to have thought of something. As a trainer, he could still do something for Snorlax. Just as he was about to make his move...
An anomaly has occurred!
Bang!Bang!
With two loud thuds, two beams of light suddenly appeared from unexpected places, striking the Mr. Mime and the Dark Phoenix Envoy, also known as Little Black...
Its trajectory was so fast and its accuracy so high that it exceeded everyone's expectations!
"What is this?"
Ye Yinchuan's pupils also contracted. The moment such an attack occurred, even he couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end, because in an instant, he felt a threat to his life...
The good news is that the attack was aimed at Xiao Hei. So, based on the theory that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," Ye Yinchuan can tentatively believe that the source of this attack is... friendly forces!
"puff!"
Xiao Hei's chest was pierced through. Although the trajectory of the attack seemed small, the immense destructive power contained within would maximize the damage the moment it made contact with the object...
In Xiao Hei's case, the entire area of his chest was completely gone, making him able to see through things!
As for Mr. Mime, which was hit by another projectile, its situation was similar to that of Mr. Black. Both suffered severe and fatal injuries, the kind that would kill neither humans nor Pokémon!
"Just who is this person...?"
Ye Yinchuan's pupils dilated slightly. It would be impossible not to be surprised by such an unexpected turn of events. In the world of Pokémon, to be able to display such combat prowess...
"It must be at least a high-level pseudo-legendary Pokémon in terms of combat power, right? Which Gym Leader, or an Elite Four member... or perhaps an officially trained battle trainer? To be able to hit both shots perfectly without any line of sight is just too ruthless!"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but think about it.
As Xiao Hei was severely injured, the Drill Horned Rhinoceros Beast, which was connected to it through dark energy, was also seemingly affected. The dark energy that had been gathered vanished in an instant...
Thanks to this, Snorlax was spared, since it's still unknown what's so special about this dark move, and avoiding it is definitely the best option.
"Click!"
Even so, Snorlax was exposed to some dark energy, and it showed a pained expression, its energy weakening.
"This dark move seems to inflict great pain on ordinary Pokémon, thus rendering them unable to battle."
By listening to his inner voice, Ye Yinchuan obtained some information from Snorlax.
At this moment, the Dark Phoenix Messenger had already fallen into a pool of blood, along with the Dark Drillhorn Rhinoceros and the Magic Mist Doll...
With the Mr. Mime gone, the barrier he created naturally disintegrated, and the trapped people, seeing that they were free, cheered and scattered in all directions...
"Listen up, everyone, don't run around!"
Ye Yinchuan tried to restore order. As the Phoenix Envoy, his words carried some weight, but not everyone could understand human speech.
Especially for the richest man in the country and the group he led, the burden they carried was not just the sins of the Smud factory. If they were to be investigated and held accountable, it would be an unbearable burden. Therefore, the richest man in the country's goal was very clear: to escape in the chaos!
However, just as Sai and his group rushed out, the dark, stinky mud that had been lurking somewhere suddenly surged forward like a tidal wave, engulfing them all...
The stinky mud released a large amount of corrosive toxins. All that could be heard were screams of agony as these people were enveloped in the stinky mud and melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had been hit by the Bone-Melting Palm!
Because Mud killed people so quickly, Ye Yinchuan didn't have time to do anything to stop it. He was also a little dizzy and was trying to calm himself down.
With so many people dying in a row, especially in such a horrific state, and those around them even vomiting from fear, Ye Yinchuan, who was seeing dead people for the first time in this world, could be described as quite calm in comparison.
"Evil spirit, Miss Skirt, and Little White!"
The situation changed, and Ye Yinchuan immediately dispatched his three Pokémon, which, coincidentally, were all Grass-type...
"Protect me and everyone else! Limit this slime's movements!"
[Oh my god, someone really died! Can this still be broadcast?]
[Murder! Murder! Pokémon are murdering!]
[Dude, what's going on? Is Xiao Hei really dead?]
Meanwhile, the Pokémon Center's operations command center was also confirming the situation here through Ye Yinchuan's live stream...
When the Thorn Sea Dragon's long-range sniping water cannon successfully killed the Dark Phoenix King and the Dark Magician Doll, there was a cheer in the command center, because it meant that the operation was a success!
But when they saw that after Black Muk went berserk and killed so many people after Black fell, everyone's mood became heavy again...
"Quickly! The Dark Phoenix Messenger is dead! Send reinforcements to support our Phoenix Messenger and deal with that Dark Sludge! Also, confirm the casualties at the Smud factory, and hold those responsible for the pollution emissions accountable..."
Someone issued subsequent operational commands.
"Wait, wait a minute, sir! Something seems to have changed. Look quickly, that Dark Phoenix Envoy... what's going on?!"
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream, including everyone from the Pokémon Center's combat command center, as well as Ye Yinchuan and everyone else on site, all stared in shock at the spot where the Dark Phoenix had fallen...
Right there, something incredible was happening. Little Black, who should have been dead beyond any doubt, began to emanate a large amount of dark energy, which started burning in the form of flames, and his body actually began to move...
And the flames continued to spread, burning the fallen Dark Diamond Horned Rhinoceros and Dark Magic Wall Doll together!
"Could it be...?"
Ye Yinchuan immediately sensed something was wrong.
Even more astonishing changes are underway!
