Chapter 459: My Weather Bureau Knowing Hail Is Reasonable, Right?
"Basalt, well done!"
On the SRU side, someone shouted, and everyone's morale was instantly boosted.
This was a one-shot KO!
Although SRU's overall strength was far inferior to Huaxia University, it became harder to one-shot opponents as trainers progressed. After all, no matter what, even in a crushing match, generally one could survive a few rounds. At worst, one could use defensive god skills like "Protect"!
"This kid is interesting!"
On the Huaxia University side, Long Feiyu, with arms folded, narrowed his eyes slightly. Not sure if it was an illusion, but in Swampert's punch, Long Feiyu seemed to see the shadow of former captain Wu Kong. That was an existence even he admitted was hard to catch up with.
But soon, Long Feiyu shook his head. Because as far as he knew, to prepare for the upcoming Asian Youth Tournament, Wu Kong should be training hard in some corner of the Himalayas right now. Basalt and Wu Kong, these two people definitely had nothing to do with each other.
"It's been less than three months; how did this Basalt's strength improve so much?"
Wang Mingxue beside Long Feiyu was dumbfounded. He targeted Basalt because he was confident he could handle him. But now, whether he could handle him in the end was hard to say, but his teeth had already cracked.
On the command platform of the battlefield, Zhang Yunding was stunned for a long time before patting his face and recalling Jynx.
"Go, Exeggutor!"
Zhang Yunding threw the second Pokéball. Grass-type Exeggutor quadruple countered Swampert; this was obviously taking the type advantage route.
"Exeggutor, watch out for Swampert's Damp ability; don't let water vapor enter within ten meters of you!"
Zhang Yunding truly lived up to being a super genius of Huaxia University; he suffered a loss once but already roughly understood Swampert's trick. Damp ability + Ice-type energy, this was the principle of Instant Freeze!
"Exegg~"
The head on Exeggutor's front face nodded, eyes staring fixedly at Swampert, while the two heads on the sides surged with pure psychic power, forming an invisible barrier.
"Magical Leaf!"
Soon, the battle restarted. Exeggutor swayed slightly, and the slender leaves on top of its head fell off, turning into a green leaf storm sweeping over.
Facing the attack, Swampert used "Ice Beam," using cold air to freeze the green leaf storm.
"Swamp~"
But soon, Swampert realized something was wrong. Under the cover of the Damp ability, it sensed that besides the frontal attack, Exeggutor was also using psychic power to control green leaves to bypass its blind spot and attack its back. The number of leaves wasn't large, but the quality was high, the force strong, speed extremely fast, yet weirdly the movement was minimal. If not for Swampert's keen perception, it might have fallen for it.
This kid Zhang Yunding is very sly!
A semi-transparent light shield appeared around its body. At the critical moment, Swampert quickly used Protect, barely blocking the sneak attack. When the light shield dissipated, Swampert had disappeared, leaving only a huge hole on the ice surface.
"Trying to use Dig for a sneak attack? This move is useless against my Exeggutor!"
Zhang Yunding snorted coldly. With Exeggutor's psychic power, it could fully invade below the ice layer. Swampert's movements couldn't escape its perception.
Crack crack crack, gurgle gurgle~
Just then, special sounds came from under the ice layer. Zhang Yunding looked down and saw that at the bottom of the Ice Field, a small part of the frost had melted at some point. Swampert actually absorbed the cold air of the ice layer!
"Not good, he wants to turn the Ice Field into a Water Field!"
Zhang Yunding's expression changed drastically.
"Swampert, quickly use Giga Drain!"
Zhang Yunding knew he couldn't drag on; he must restrain Swampert. Otherwise, if all the ice melted, Exeggutor's mobility would plummet, and it would definitely lose.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Thick roots appeared on Exeggutor's body, plunging deep into the water, intending to trap Swampert. Although Exeggutor's roots couldn't compare to Cradily's, the actual number was still very large, and Swampert couldn't avoid them.
"Success!" Zhang Yunding was overjoyed.
Unfortunately, he was only happy for a second. Because the next second, as Swampert released the Ice-type energy in its body, the roots were directly frozen and necrotic. Exeggutor couldn't draw energy from Swampert and transfer it to itself at all.
"You should have absorbed enough Ice-type energy; no need to delay further."
A smile appeared on Basalt's lips, shouting, "Swampert, Hail!"
Zhang Yunding: "???"
Everyone: "???"
Everyone was confused; did I hear wrong? Basalt just shouted not "Sandstorm," but "Hail"? Or did Basalt shout wrong?
But soon, everyone knew Basalt didn't shout wrong. Because as Swampert exerted force, hailstones the size of longan fruit soon fell from the sky, scattered all over the ground. If these hit a person, they might kill them.
Basalt smiled without speaking.
As a member of the Weather Bureau, knowing Hail is reasonable, right! Not afraid to tell you even if you can't digest it, besides Hail, I also play Sunny Day very well.
"Exeggutor, quickly use Leaf Storm!"
Zhang Yunding was anxious. Unfavorable terrain, unfavorable weather; if the fight continued, Exeggutor would be in grave danger. Must end the battle quickly!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Leaf Storm appeared, its momentum fully several times stronger than the previous Magical Leaf, green leaves covering the sky like locusts passing through. At this time, the leaves were no longer leaves but more like blades of a shredder. The already thin ice layer disappeared instantly, and they cut towards Swampert under the ice without losing momentum. Where the Leaf Storm passed, the ice layer turned directly into powder!
"Good heavens! If hit by this, Swampert will be done for directly!"
Exeggutor's Leaf Storm was truly powerful; even Basalt couldn't help shivering upon seeing it.
"In that case, let's decide the winner!"
Basalt's gaze focused, shouting, "Swampert, Blizzard!"
Blizzard, a high-power Ice-type move, not weaker than Leaf Storm at all. And under Hail weather, Blizzard has a guaranteed hit effect. Because the cold air gathers from all directions, freezing everything it touches.
Crack crack crack~
Blizzard descended, colliding fiercely with Leaf Storm. But under the boost of Hail weather, Exeggutor's Leaf Storm didn't gain an advantage and was frozen completely.
This wasn't over. With Swampert absorbing the Ice attribute from the field, the power of Blizzard kept rising until it finally swept towards Exeggutor, submerging it directly. After casting its ultimate move, Exeggutor had no time to use defensive skills.
"Exeggutor is unable to battle!" The referee quickly announced the ruling.
"Lost again!"
Everyone from Huaxia University was stunned. Losing two matches in a row was something they dared not even imagine. But Basalt did it! Not only did he do it, but he did it beautifully!
"So Basalt saying he had eighty percent confidence in defeating Zhang Yunding was all true!"
Shan Qingtian's mouth twitched violently.
"Eighty percent confidence? Looking at this posture, I'm afraid it's ninety percent! The only variable is Zhang Yunding's Metagross."
Tan Houcheng clicked his tongue in wonder, "Turns out our assessment of Basalt's strength was completely distorted. Just with the strength Basalt has shown so far, he is not below Ju Fang."
Hearing this, Ju Fang was slightly embarrassed, feeling very uncomfortable. Putting it this way, wouldn't he soon withdraw from the main lineup? He, the dignified number one junior student of South River University, had to abdicate before reaching the top?
"Look quickly, Zhang Yunding sent out Metagross!"
Fang Tianjin suddenly exclaimed, and everyone immediately turned their gaze back to the field.
On the battlefield, a huge Pokémon with a teal disc-shaped body and four legs appeared; it was Metagross.
"Meta~"
Although Metagross didn't have the Levitate ability, it could control magnetic force, so even if the Ice Field turned into a Water Field, it didn't affect it much.
"Losing two rounds in a row, Zhang Yunding is desperate to turn the tide, so he decisively sent out his ace Pokémon."
Fang Tianjin saw through Zhang Yunding's thoughts. This indicated that Zhang Yunding was anxious!
"This is an old friend!" Basalt smiled.
Coincidentally, at this time, Metagross also looked at Basalt, instantly glaring with rage. Basalt's appearance, Basalt's voice, it would never mistake. This was the guy who left a huge shadow on its once young mind.
"Meta~"
Metagross roared angrily, also declaring its strength. I am different from before! Now, I will kill you!
Zhang Yunding waved his hand: "Metagross, Zen Headbutt!"
As a trainer specializing in Psychic attributes, Zhang Yunding's Metagross naturally focused on Psychic cultivation, so it excelled in Psychic-type moves.
"Meta~"
Metagross's four legs gathered together, spraying scorching flames as thrusters, charging murderously towards Swampert underwater. As for the water obstruction? Metagross had already separated it with psychic power; the pool parted like a curtain, revealing Swampert underwater.
"This Metagross, such strong psychic power!"
Basalt was slightly surprised. In terms of psychic strength alone, Metagross seemed slightly superior to Bronzong. Truly worthy of a pseudo-legendary cultivated by the Psychic Bureau; indeed capable.
"Swamp~"
Facing Metagross's pressure, the fearless Swampert rarely showed a solemn expression.
"Swampert, Flip Turn!"
Basalt prepared to let Swampert run. Flip Turn, a Water-type move, similar to the Bug-type "U-turn"; switches with a backup Pokémon after attacking.
Swampert collided with Metagross. Although Swampert had amazing divine strength, compared to the steel beast Metagross, it was slightly inferior. After all, the tonnage of the two was essentially different. Divine strength inferior to tonnage, confirmed!
"Swamp~"
Swampert let out a scream. The next second, its body began to retreat quickly in the water column. Running away, running away!
"Leave? Can you leave?"
Zhang Yunding sneered.
Then, Basalt saw Metagross's four gathered legs separate instantly, then hug Swampert fiercely like an octopus, not letting it slip away.
"Swamp~"
Swampert struggled hard, but it was useless. Metagross's mechanical arm strength was too high and powerful; it couldn't break free at all.
"Meta~"
After flying into the sky with Swampert, Metagross began to plummet rapidly. During the fall, it released Swampert, then its four legs turned into four fists, landing on Swampert one after another.
