The Sand Tomb continued to 'devour' the body of Pikachu with a hat, and within two breaths, half of Pikachu's body was already submerged in the quicksand.
At the same time, Steelix's Rock Slide attack was also descending.
"Pikachu!"
"Pickup~!"
Lin's face tightened, and she shouted at Pikachu with a hat.
A stunning golden Spark suddenly shot out of the Sand Tomb amidst the audience's exclamations, smashing a boulder in its path.
Zippy Zap!
Chen frowned, surprised that it worked.
The Spark landed quickly, and Pikachu with a hat, now fully focused, had completed its Nasty Plot boost!
"Even with the boosted condition, there's no need to worry!"
"In the end, it's just an electric mouse!"
Chen's eyes narrowed slowly. Didn't he know that snakes eat mice?
It's all here, and as long as he takes down this electric mouse, he can advance to the semifinals!
"Steelix! Use Crunch!"
Chen waved his hand decisively, commanding Steelix with a loud voice.
Steelix let out a low roar, and its mouth, shining with a dark gleam, lunged towards Pikachu with a hat.
The massive body brought an incredibly striking visual impact! The size of this behemoth was truly immense!
Compared to Steelix, Pikachu with a hat seemed no larger than one of Steelix's eyes!
"Pikachu! Use Double Team!"
"Pika~Chu!"
Lin's breathing slowed, but her mind was calmer than ever.
Pikachu with a hat bent down, and in a flash, one became two, two became four, and four became eight!
In the blink of an eye, eight Pikachu with hats were scattered in various positions.
Double Team creates identical illusions of the user, capable of simulating unique moves, but these illusions are intangible, serving only to confuse the opponent's judgment.
"Damn it!" Chen's eyes darted over the electric mice running around, his expression sour.
"Steelix! Sweep them away!"
Steelix's tail swept across, targeting the yellow electric mice.
Even without using a move, the sheer weight and momentum of Steelix's tail created a fierce gust of wind.
The 'electric mice' were swept by Steelix's tail, turning into phantoms and vanishing.
"Pikachu, use Slam!" Seeing this, Lin shouted to Pikachu with a hat without hesitation.
The remaining three Pikachu with hats charged towards Steelix at high speed, their tails flashing with a strong white glow.
"Steelix!" Chen's eyes narrowed.
Steelix's mouth glowed, watching Pikachu with a hat from three directions, and suddenly lunged at the one on the left.
Crunch!
Click?
No! It was a fake!
Chen frowned, as the Pikachu with a hat dissipated when bitten.
And the real Pikachu with a hat had already leapt high behind Steelix, its spinning tail slamming into the back of Steelix's head!
Slam!
Boom!
A dull loud noise resounded, and under Chen's incredulous gaze, Steelix groaned in pain, its entire upper body pressed down by the impact!
A ring of dust spread out from Steelix's center!
What is this madness?
Chen looked at the petite electric mouse in shock; what on earth was this?
The Normal-type Slam shouldn't have been effective against Steelix, yet this blow had actually staggered Steelix!
It was more powerful than Aerodactyl's normal damage Crunch!
This was so unscientific!
Not only was Chen shocked, but everyone watching the battle was stunned by the scene!
"F**k! F*ck~!"
"Is this little guy, about the size of Steelix's tail, really this strong?"
"It's Nasty Plot's attack boost condition that's causing the damage, but that's too exaggerated. Isn't Pikachu known for special attacks?"
"This scene is classic, bro! It gave me chills, damn it!"
"This is too powerful! I'm suddenly hopeful again."
Excited cheers and discussions erupted at the scene, with question marks and excited expressions flooding the live broadcast room.
"Sure enough, the intensity of Pikachu with a hat is very high, and the boost from Nasty Plot is too troublesome."
Zoe pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes focused on the arena.
After all, this is an 80-million-value Pikachu with a hat, even more expensive than a pseudo-legendary!
"Indeed, but this scene is so thrilling, Zoe!"
Jessica's eyes sparkled, the series of moves by Pikachu with a hat were too striking!
"It would be best if Brother Chen could eliminate Lin; otherwise, this Pikachu with a hat is too threatening."
Zoe whispered, especially for her!
This Pikachu with a hat moves very quickly, and excels in both special and physical attacks, while the Electric type counters all her Pokémon.
Thank goodness for the matching system!
Otherwise, if she had faced Lin, it would have been really tough.
"It doesn't sound like it's threatening."
Jessica's eyelids twitched slightly, the corners of her mouth curling in disdain, silently complaining.
How dare this woman say Lin is too much of a threat?
This woman has real nerve!
For other players like them, the threat level of Zoe and Lin is definitely comparable, and even to Chen and Jessica, Zoe's threat is far higher than Lin's.
The battle between Steelix and Pikachu with a hat continued.
Though the Slam seemed effective, it was just okay.
Boom!
After attacking, Pikachu with a hat tried to retreat, but being in mid-air, it was directly hit by Steelix's tail, crashing to the ground with a cloud of dust.
"Rock Slide and bury it for me!" Chen shouted loudly.
Steelix roared, forming huge rocks that shot towards the place where Pikachu with a hat had fallen.
"Pikachu! Use Zippy Zap!"
"Pika~Chu!"
A lightning-like Spark shot out of the smoke instantly, piercing through the incoming Rock Slide boulders and hitting Steelix at high speed.
Zippy Zap!
While Zippy Zap is immune to Steelix, it's perfect for resisting Rock Slide!
"Kick!"
In the combination of Zippy Zap and Agility, Pikachu with a hat's speed was astonishingly fast, quickly reaching Steelix's side.
Its tail flashed white, and Pikachu with a hat leapt high towards Steelix.
"Use Crunch!" Chen's expression was solemn.
Steelix opened its huge mouth to bite Pikachu, but Pikachu with a hat, spinning in the air, struck Steelix with Slam first.
Boom!
Another dull thud, a heavy blow that knocked Steelix's head back.
+!
In Chen's mind, a thousand thoughts raced, what was this?
Pikachu with a hat was too agile, with more power than Aerodactyl. Though it couldn't fly, Pikachu with a hat's smaller body and quicker movements made up for it.
Even the ultimate move could be executed a step ahead, and Steelix was basically done for.
And the result was impressive. Steelix, worn down by Aerodactyl, finally fell.
In its dying struggle, it hit Pikachu with a hat with Dragon Breath, but the damage was just okay.
Boom!
The giant Steelix collapsed to the ground.
"Steelix loses the ability to fight, Pikachu with a hat wins!"
The referee looked at Steelix and announced the battle result.
"WO~!!"
"The electric mouse is amazing! It actually took down such a big guy!"
"Come on, who said Pikachu couldn't bring down Steelix? Stand up and speak!"
"Amazing! Even though it was completely outmatched, it still beat Steelix!"
"Ahhhh! Mom, I'm in love with Pikachu! It's cute and strong! Where can I get a Pikachu?"
"Lin, go for it! Take them down!"
The entire stadium erupted again; the visual impact was strong, seeing such a petite Pikachu with a hat, in the absence of Electric-type moves, reverse the situation and knock down such a huge Steelix!
Chen turned a deaf ear to the sounds around him, looking at the incapacitated Steelix before finally shaking his head helplessly.
"I still underestimate you."
Chen withdrew Steelix and comforted it, then took out another Poké Ball and smiled at Lin.
"I won't give you the top four easily; I also want to win the championship!"
Lin's delicate and flawless face had a moving smile, but her soft and sweet voice held absolute determination.
"But it's not enough to defeat Steelix! Speaking of which, I specially prepared this guy for Jessica."
Chen chuckled lightly, looking at the Poké Ball in his hand.
Hearing Chen's words, Jessica in the competition room curled her lips. Isn't that because Dratini beat your Larvitar? Is it necessary?
"The evolution of Larvitar...?" Lin's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. There was no doubt this was the evolution of Larvitar!
Though everyone knew Chen's Larvitar had definitely evolved, Chen hadn't used this Pokémon in battle until now.
"Ah~ After being outplayed by Dratini, this kid was so determined he went into special training to find Dratini."
"But in this case, it can only be used."
Chen laughed, throwing the Poké Ball backhand.
"Then please! Pupitar!"
A low murmur sounded, and a Pokémon encased in a hard shell landed in front of Chen.
"???"
But after seeing this Pokémon clearly, Lin was momentarily stunned.
Because Pupitar's shape was similar to a chrysalis, what happened to the cute little green-skinned dinosaur?
How has it changed with evolution?
"Drip - Pupitar, Rock, Ground Type, Bullet Pokémon
Ability: Shed Skin
Moves: Earthquake, Crunch, Dark Pulse, Screech, Scary Face, Iron Defense, Rock Slide, Payback...
Although the whole body is covered with a hard shell like a rock plate, it's so powerful that even mountains will collapse when it goes berserk, and its destructive power is outstanding."
In the player's room, Jessica raised her eyebrows at the introduction of Pupitar on the Pokédex, thinking... It seems really strong?
(It seems some people think Pupitar can't fight, so I'll explain it here.
I don't know where this notion comes from, but Pupitar's official combat power is actually amazing, and because its body can compress gas jets, its explosions are also very strong, even allowing it to glide short distances.
If you don't believe it, you can check the official introduction and description yourself.
