The smoke and dust still hadn't dissipated as Jessica and Nathan both stared intently at the thick fog.
The entire stadium was silent!
"It's so intense! So thrilling, audience!"
The excited voice of the host reverberated through the venue, conveying the palpable excitement!
Everyone could feel it!
"Damn it! I totally understand the mood of this enthusiastic host..."
"Dazzling! It's really dazzling, everyone! The twists and turns were unbelievable!"
"First Dragonair had the advantage, then Gyarados took the lead, then Dragonair regained control, and finally Gyarados struck back. What am I supposed to say!"
"This is what a battle between the big favorites looks like? I learned a lot."
"Wow, these two are really strong, Dragonair and Gyarados are formidable."
"Are you kidding me? Is that the point now? Who won? It's killing me!"
The host's words seemed to awaken the audience, and the comments flowed in the live broadcast room.
A gentle breeze began to clear the thick smoke and dust, revealing the two shadows within.
"They haven't fallen yet!"
Jessica and Nathan focused their expressions, staring at the Pokémon opposite them without blinking.
It was clear now; Gyarados was standing upright, panting heavily, its fierce eyes fixed on the target ahead.
Dragonair, equally exhausted, floated in midair, with scars all over its body, and even a layer of light frost covering the central part of its body.
This was the result of Gyarados's Ice Fang!
Were these two Pokémon still standing?
All the spectators watched the scene with shock, wondering what kind of monsters these were.
Bang~
In the next second, Gyarados's expression slowly weakened, and its massive body collapsed softly to the ground.
And also falling was Dragonair, which descended from midair and fainted.
Did they both fall together?!
The referee quickly moved forward to observe the two Pokémon and raised the flag after confirming the result.
"Dragonair and Gyarados are both incapacitated at the same time!"
Hearing the referee's announcement, another roar erupted in the stadium.
"Amazing! Amazing!"
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen simultaneous incapacitation!"
"It's incredible; these two are really strong! It's too bad they met in the round of sixteen."
"Ugh... Dragonair actually fell..."
"You're playing with us, right? Gyarados was actually matched by Dragonair, it's hard to believe."
"Oh, it seems to be."
The audience was in a hubbub, all amazed at the result.
Two Pokémon actually losing the ability to fight at the same time? This really can only be attributed to the intensity of the battle.
However, for the two rival players engaged in the fight, this result...
"Really strong, Nathan, this Gyarados is really tough."
Taking back Dragonair with the Poké Ball and complimenting it, Jessica's eyes glanced toward Nathan, and the corner of her mouth slowly grinned.
She was in a good mood at the moment, although the result wasn't as expected, it was still acceptable.
She had to admit, this Gyarados was really strong.
"Likewise."
Nathan pursed his lips, looking somewhat solemn.
Compared to Jessica, he wasn't in a good mood at the moment.
Because...
"The battle isn't over yet, but you should know what I'm going to use next."
Jessica had a beautiful smile on her pretty face and winked at Nathan.
Nathan: 6699
"That's right! This is my second Pokémon!"
"Vibrava! Go!"
Jessica threw the Poké Ball high, and a flash of light revealed a khaki Pokémon, vibrating its wings and flying swiftly in the sky, finally landing gently in front of Jessica.
Nathan's face instantly sank, what's going on!
This was a Pokémon about 1.3 meters in size, looking both like a mosquito and a dragonfly, with a pair of green wings, a tail, and green eyes.
It was Vibrava, the evolved form of Trapinch!
"Vibrava, Ground/Dragon Type, Vibration Pokémon!
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Crunch, Superpower, Fissure, Dragon Breath, Bulldoze, Burrow, Dragon Tail, Sandstorm, Bug Buzz, Sand Tomb…
It uses the vibration of its wings to emit Supersonic, and because the wings are still growing, it cannot fly for a long time."
Recalling Vibrava's information, Nathan had a headache.
Vibrava, a Ground type, was immune to Electric type, and not only that...
Who would have thought that the big-headed ant could actually fly after evolving!
What are you, an ant, and actually evolved into a mosquito (dragonfly)?
Is this reasonable? It's not reasonable at all!
"Electabuzz! It's your turn!"
But it was time to fight, and not without a chance, Nathan threw his second Poké Ball.
A flash of light, and a humanoid Pokémon appeared in front of Nathan.
With black stripes on its yellow body and exposed fangs, it looked quite ferocious.
It was Electabuzz, the evolved form of Elekid!
And when she saw Electabuzz, the smile on Jessica's face grew even brighter!
"Nathan is basically done for." Chen shook his head when he saw this.
"Indeed, for Electric Pokémon, Ground Pokémon are too much of a counter."
Zoe nodded in agreement because Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type moves!
It's completely immune! Meaning it's impossible to deal any damage! It's much more frustrating than resistance.
Perhaps this immunity has an upper limit, but at least with similar strength, this immunity will never fail!
This has been tested by someone!
As for whether this immunity can completely avoid damage when there's a huge strength gap, Zoe doesn't know, as no one has tested it yet.
"It's not just about the type advantage, although Electric-type moves are ineffective against Vibrava."
"But Nathan's Electabuzz has inherited Arm Hammer, a powerful Fighting-type move, as well as two Normal-type moves, Quick Attack and Swift. It's not without a fighting chance."
Chen looked at Electabuzz and Vibrava facing off in the arena.
"Vibrava's short-range burst speed is very fast, and it has the advantage of flying, plus immunity to Electabuzz's electric moves..."
"Nathan's disadvantage is too significant before the battle even begins."
Chen reluctantly said, but this is something that can't be helped. Who let Nathan fight with only two Pokémon?
Pawniard hasn't evolved yet, so its strength is naturally lacking. The boss said it would take a long time for Pawniard to evolve.
From the match to the start, Electabuzz is destined to be locked by Vibrava.
Because Jessica isn't foolish, if Nathan dared to swap Gyarados before sending Electabuzz to fight Dragonair, Jessica would swap Vibrava.
This is a no-brainer; you have the right to swap Pokémon, don't I?
"I asked this kid to draw two more Pokémon, and this foolish kid kept telling me nonsense about not being expensive."
Chen laughed and scolded, "It's alright now, isn't this just being targeted?"
Although he knew Nathan didn't draw the right ones, he devoted all his energy to Electabuzz and Gyarados Pawniard.
It's better to have fewer quality Pokémon than more weak ones; this is the idea of many trainers who are pursuing the peak.
"Still too young, the factor of Pokémon's type advantage is already enough to ensure that one or two Pokémon can't conquer the world."
Chen was noncommittal, unless it's really strong enough to surpass other Pokémon by several levels, or because of the type advantage, no Pokémon can be truly invincible.
This is inevitable.
Therefore, it's necessary to cultivate a full team and be able to deal with various rivals.
In Chen's opinion, you have to have at least four Pokémon in your main team, right?
What can two or three Pokémon do?
The big deal is that after you have a satisfying Pokémon, you can add the ones you captured earlier to the main force of the second team, isn't that enough?
The battle situation was just as Chen had expected.
Although Nathan tried his best to fight, Electabuzz's "birth" had a significant disadvantage, even though he was desperately looking for opportunities to trade blows.
But Jessica's battle experience is very rich and keen.
Electabuzz was still weakly knocked down by Vibrava's final Superpower, falling heavily to the ground.
"Electabuzz is out of combat! Vibrava wins!"
"Since both of Nathan's Pokémon lost their ability to fight, the winner is Jessica!"
The referee announced the result of the match.
"Awesome, Jessica!"
"So handsome, Vibrava! It's amazing!"
"I just said Jessica would win, right? Dragon-type Pokémon are invincible!"
"It feels like a pity for Nathan. Obviously, with his strength, he should be able to achieve higher results."
"The random match is like this. Luck itself is also a kind of strength. If he doesn't match Jessica, then he may also match Zoe, Lin, Chen, and the others. It's still very difficult to fight."
"Woooo... I put all my points on Nathan, woohoo... I have nothing left."
And the moment the result appeared, the entire stadium instantly erupted in excitement!
"Well done, Vibrava, awesome!"
After defeating Nathan, Jessica was obviously very happy, rubbing Vibrava's head and smiling.
Phew~ This battle wasn't easy, but equally, after winning against Nathan, a strong sense of satisfaction made her unstoppable!
Sure enough, fighting against a powerful trainer is the most interesting thing!
But compared to the victorious Jessica...
Nathan stared blankly at the unconscious Electabuzz; he lost...
Nathan really didn't know how to describe his emotions at the moment.
In the end, Nathan shook his head with a wry smile. After all, he was still not strong enough; what could he do if his skills were inferior to others?
There was no way, then he could only work harder to become stronger in the future.
Next time! Next time he would seek redemption!
And just when the two were contemplating victory and defeat, in the Southern Suburbs near the East Sea...
"Oh~ beautiful sea! Here I come!"
Edward opened his arms to embrace the endless East Sea, clearly in a bright and happy mood at the moment.
Well, hopefully, it stays that way.
