Chapter 173 - Chapter 173: Eelektross

Seawater Pressurization Area.

This area processed countless seawater poured in, and the Eelektross family lived here.

The poured-in seawater was transported to the unmanned generator through the seawater pressurizer, generating electricity through hydropower.

However, due to years of operation, this seawater pressurizer equipment had also aged. Countless seawater leaked from the connections between pipes, dripping downwards.

Countless pieces of equipment, submerged in seawater, were severely corroded into rust. If the underground pipelines here hadn't been continuously operating, this area would probably have been flooded by seawater.

But even so, there was still about 20-30 centimeters of seawater accumulated here, enough to submerge a human's ankles, reaching to their thighs.

If the seawater pressurizer had directly stopped operating, it was estimated that the unmanned generator would have automatically stopped operating.

At this moment, in the Seawater Pressurization Area, a large number of Electric-type Pokémon were attacking. A muscular man with red hair, wearing a black cloak, was dodging electric currents on the back of a red-orange Charizard.

"The Eelektross here are really tough to deal with," Lance said in a grave voice, dodging strong electric current attacks while sitting on the back of Charizard.

Charizard and Dragonite nodded repeatedly, simultaneously dodging the attacks of the Eelektrik.

The Eelektross here formed an extremely massive tribe.

What Lance feared was not the Eelektross, but the Eelektrik.

Countless Eelektrik swarmed like sharp swords. Eelektrik's body sparkled with electric arcs.

When thousands of Eelektrik fell, Charizard and Dragonite had no time to dodge.

Once touched by Eelektrik, Charizard and Dragonite would be inflicted with a static status by Eelektrik's electromagnetic waves.

Once the static status accumulated, Charizard and Dragonite would eventually lose their battle capability.

Lance had already used many paralyzing medicines, but to little effect. His eyes watched as Charizard's and Dragonite's movements became increasingly sluggish.

The seawater in the seawater pressurization area was already filled with quite a few fallen Eelektross and Eelektrik. This was Charizard's and Dragonite's battle record.

When Qing Wu walked into the seawater pressurization area, Lance was already forced to land on the ground. His legs were submerged in seawater, and he was gasping for air.

"Good thing these shoes are also made of rubber, otherwise, if I were attacked by Eelektrik, I'd be in trouble," Lance muttered to himself.

Every time Charizard and Dragonite moved, countless electric current rings appeared on their bodies. Charizard and Dragonite, with their own willpower, gnashed their teeth and used their ultimate move, repeatedly repelling Eelektrik's attacks.

Qing Wu had already seen Lance's figure. He watched Charizard and Dragonite repeatedly use their moves to defeat Eelektross and also saw the difficulty of dealing with Eelektrik.

Qing Wu hesitated for a long time before wading into the 20-30 centimeters of seawater, walking towards Lance. At this time, he needed to join forces with Lance to pass through this area.

The seawater was ice-cold and bone-chilling. Every time Qing Wu moved, it was very strenuous.

"Gurgle gurgle." Lance heard the sound of someone approaching, turned his head to look, and immediately said happily, "Junior Brother... you're here."

"(⊙o⊙)..." Qing Wu was speechless. "How did you discover my identity? And for the sake of saving trouble, I just wore a mask and transformed into a different person."

Moreover, the mask also hid Qing Wu's expression.

Qing Wu nodded and asked Lance how he recognized him.

"This is not simple. After you passed the Dragon Island trial, your body will naturally emit dragon aura, like a candle in the dark night. This is a special ability (ajfc) that our Dragon Island trainers automatically add." Lance explained.

"You can't imagine this is a great advantage. You'll know later. Junior Brother, don't you have any medicine to cure paralysis? My Dragonite and Charizard are paralyzed by Eelektrik, and their strength can't be unleashed." Lance scratched his head and asked.

"Ah, I don't want this kind of advantage. This means my hard-earned identity is useless here." Qing Wu's eyes widened slightly, and he endlessly complained in his heart.

"Junior Brother, don't worry. When you can skillfully wield this power, you will be able to control it," Lance said, seeing Qing Wu's discomfort, and quickly added a few words.

"Oh, it can still be hidden, then it's fine." Qing Wu breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out two potions from his wristband.

"These are paralysis recovery potions. Just drink them and you'll be fine," Qing Wu said to Lance.

Lance quickly sent his Pokémon to fend off Eelektrik's attacks while he himself drank the paralysis recovery potion. Sure enough, Charizard and Dragonite recovered their original combat power.

"These Eelektrik are really tough to deal with," Lance said, wiping a handful of sweat.

"By the way, Junior Brother, why are you here?" Lance asked curiously.

"Heh, wasn't it the information I sent you last time? I found something strange in this Mauville Group, so I came to see what secret was hidden in this power plant." Qing Wu sighed, almost being discovered by Lance about his identity. He was scared to death.

Qing Wu, in his heart, was secretly calculating that this mighty Growlithe, Arcanine, would appear in the breeding house anyway, so it didn't expose his identity.

Qing Wu still wanted to find time to ask Lance if he had a way to solve the Tyranitar's black household problem, but he didn't expect to meet Lance here.

"Senior Brother, I have a Pokémon here. Can you help me resolve its identity problem?" Qing Wu said hesitantly.

Lance almost overreacted. Although he was a very righteous person, he still protected his junior brother.

"Bring it out for me to see. Don't worry, Senior Brother has checked. There's no surveillance here. I even had Dragonite use Outrage, and any surveillance here would be shattered by Outrage." Lance said confidently.

"Come out, Tyranitar." Qing Wu directly released this dinosaur giant beast.

"Senior Brother, I got this Tyranitar from a poacher. I'm afraid Tyranitar will attract the attention of the alliance," Qing Wu said to Lance.

Qing Wu spoke while observing Lance's expression, but Lance looked indifferent. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Tyranitar appearing in his eyes.

"Hahaha, if it's Tyranitar, then it's fine. Although Tyranitar is a Pokémon from the Silver Mountain National Nature Reserve, the city alliance does not prohibit private ownership of Tyranitar. They will not investigate you." Lance explained.

"So every year when Tyranitar reproduces, there will be a bunch of poachers waiting there. This is a rule set by the leader of Silver Mountain's main Tyranitar. It believes that Tyranitar's children need to be tempered."

"So once a poacher snatches a Pokémon, we will also tacitly acknowledge him as Tyranitar's trainer identity."

"I really don't know if Tyranitar's leader set this rule because he feels that it's okay for the base to eat white rice, so he generously sends out all the children of the clan."

"Unlike the Kanto region, Dragonite are tools for household use, so trainers who own Dragonite need to register with the alliance. This is the secret I found here." Lance said with disdain.

"Since Junior Brother released Tyranitar, then it should bear the brunt of the fire. Although Eelektrik's attacks are not strong, its paralyzing ability is extremely strong." Lance said with a lingering fear, saying that he, a Heavenly King peak powerhouse, almost fell here.

Qing Wu looked at the many Eelektrik floating in the air, and he knew that these Eelektrik had no type advantage. They were extremely rare Pokémon in the Pokémon world that had no type advantage.

However, Eelektrik also had a disadvantage, which was low HP.

"Tyranitar, use Boomburst." Qing Wu gave the most correct command.

Tyranitar took a deep breath, stomped on the constantly overflowing seawater from the pressurization device, and roared in this area.

Eelektrik seemed to be hit by a strong sound wave attack, instantly became unstable, unable to maintain its high-altitude float, and fell one after another.

"Go, Poké Ball." Qing Wu looked at the two Eelektrik that had been shocked unconscious and threw out Poké Balls.

Not long after, the Poké Balls bounced back into Qing Wu's hand.

These were two Eelektrik with deep green aptitude. Qing Wu's system had scanned them for a while, and they were the best aptitude Eelektrik he had ever obtained.

"These Eelektrik can be cultivated again. When they evolve, maybe they will turn into green aptitude." Qing Wu's home opens a breeding house, so of course he wants to subdue different Pokémon and subdue Pokémon with excellent aptitude.

Attacked by Tyranitar's Boomburst, the Eelektrik that were originally densely packed in the air were all shattered. More Eelektrik were directly knocked down into the seawater.

Tyranitar's Boomburst only affected Eelektrik. Eelektross and Eelektross King, seeing their children fall, turned their attention to Tyranitar.

Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of volts landed on Tyranitar. Tyranitar shuddered.

Tyranitar's Sand Stream ability instantly activated. The sky was covered with dense yellow sand. A flowing quicksand formed on Tyranitar's armor, effectively blocking hundreds of thousands of volts of attacks.

"Then let's work together, Junior Brother." Lance said, seeing the sand armor formed by Tyranitar. He flew over with Charizard and Dragonite to attack Eelektross and Eelektross King.

Flame Burst and Ice Beam intertwined. Fire Punch and Ice Punch were used alternately. Without Eelektrik's interference, these Eelektross and Eelektross King were like rootless weeds and were quickly dealt with by Charizard and Dragonite working together.

"Senior Brother, thank you." Lance looked at the Eelektrik, Eelektross, and Eelektross King floating on the water surface, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Qing Wu looked at these Pokémon, scanned their aptitudes with the system, and then threw out two more Poké Balls, subduing two more green aptitude Eelektrik.

"Junior Brother, you don't have to subdue so many Pokémon of the same type. You can't cultivate them all." Lance extended his hand to Qing Wu.

"Senior Brother, my family runs a breeding house. I just subdue some Pokémon to fill the rooms. It wouldn't look good if the rooms were empty." Qing Wu knew Lance's intention.

"Oh, you run a breeding house." Lance heard this and no longer dissuaded him. He knew his junior brother was sensible.

"Let's go. We're at the last and most mysterious basement. I really want to know what kind of medicine this Mauville Group is selling in its gourd." Lance was very curious.

"Let's go." Qing Wu rode on Dragonite's back and flew towards the most mysterious place in the power plant, the unmanned generator.

PS: Rock-type is not immune to Electric-type, but flowing sand is not conductive. Sand is made of atomic crystals, which have no free electrons, so their conductivity is very weak. Flowing sand is even less conductive.
