Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Chapter 85 Crimson vs. Green, 3 chapters of battle!

Pickup reappeared on the field, his cheek sacs crackling with electricity.

The rain started to lessen, which was good news for Red, since Pikachu also has fur.

But this was bad news for Qinglu, who decided to seize the opportunity.

"Wartorium, pour cold water on it!"

Seeing Wartortle stand still and begin to gather energy, it was a bit of a pity that Crimson was red.

At this moment, Pikachu and Wartortle were standing on opposite sides, some distance apart.

Pikachu's body was soaked at this moment, and if the other party did not take the initiative to approach, he estimated that he would not be close enough to launch a high-five attack.

Crimson could guess that Green was also choosing a long-range attack instead of a powerful water tail.

Abandoning the effective surprise attack with a high-five, Crimson opted for a direct confrontation: "P.E.K.K.A., use Electric Shock!"

"Sizzle~"

The electric sacs on both sides of Pikachu's cheeks flickered faster as electric energy converged.

Green knew things weren't going well, but there was nothing it could do, so it could only shout encouragement: "Go for it, Wartortle!"

Soon, the energy of both sides was condensed almost simultaneously.

The cold water, amplified by the rain, shot out and continued to absorb the energy of the rainwater, which gradually turned into tiny raindrops.

The Pikachu shone with a dazzling light, and the audience held their phones in front of their eyes, unable to look directly at it.

Rainwater is conductive, so the electric discharge technique still covers the entire field indiscriminately.

The referee quickly put on sunglasses and kept a close eye on the changes on the field.

The electric light reached Wartortle first, causing the latter to cry out in pain.

Pikachu was also hit by the enhanced cold water from the rain, but the accompanying attack power reduction effect was completely meaningless.

After the lightning subsided, which lasted for several seconds, everyone craned their necks to look at the arena.

At that moment, the last drop of rain fell before Crimson's eyes, and the rainy day ended.

Wartortle took the hit of this incredibly effective electric shock, and its body was severely injured.

He was still able to stand on the field, but his breathing became weak and his body began to sway.

Green extended the Poké Ball that it had been holding for a while, pressed the button, and two red lights flashed.

A Pidgey, covered in mud and water stains, replaced Wartortle.

Crimson didn't miss the chance to rotate with Green, and just as Green reached out, he gave the order.

"Pikachu, use trickery!"

Qinglu knew that the other party would definitely seize the opportunity to strengthen themselves, but there was nothing she could do to stop them.

"Pippi, shake off the mud and water!"

The Pidgey spread its wings and shook its body rapidly, and some dried clumps of mud could be seen being flung away.

A few seconds later, the energy on Pikachu's side was fully condensed, the question mark turned into an exclamation mark, and the special attack level increased significantly.

Pidgey also shook off the mud and water that had been reduced from its body and took flight in the sky again.

Faced with the significantly enhanced Special Attack level of the P.E.K.K.A., Green dared not make any rash moves.

Red had the advantage. Seeing Pidgey circling in the sky, they knew that Electric Shot might not hit their opponent.

Choose another, more likely-to-hit offensive tactic: "P.E.K.K.A., Charm!"

Green could roughly guess Red's thoughts and decided on Pidgey's last move.

"Pipika, Tornado!"

Both sides were gathering their energy, while the audience found Qinglu's choice very strange and started discussing it from both sides.

"Why not choose a Flying-type move? I saw him use Air Blade over there before!"

"At least it's more powerful and has a STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus). Even though it's resisted by Electric-type attacks, it's still more powerful than a level 40 Tornado, right?"

"We mere mortals can't understand the thinking of geniuses; you'll understand if you just watch closely."

Once the energy from both sides was fully combined, Pikachu first unleashed a "Pikachu~!" sound, blasting the energy outwards.

Pidgey's energy was also fully condensed, and the dragon-attribute energy swirled rapidly, sweeping towards Pikachu.

Pidgey paused for a moment, then continued flying.

The pickup truck was swept away by the tornado and flew quite a distance before finally landing back on the ground after the tornado dissipated.

Seeing Pikachu land safely, Green calmly said, "Pipika, fly up and use Tornado!"

Crimson was also somewhat confused about Green's actions, but the battle continued.

There wasn't time for detailed thinking; at the very least, if they chose to use mutually damaging moves, Qinglv would definitely be the one who suffers.

Crimson swiftly gave the order: "Pikachu, Enchanting Voice!"

The tornado was the first to sweep out, once again lifting the pickup truck several meters away.

Immediately following was a Fairy-type energy attack that struck Pidgeotto, causing it to pause for a moment.

Another round of mutual damage ensued, and Qinglv frowned as she saw Pidgeotto's injuries worsen.

It's already been twice, why hasn't it happened yet?

Seeing the energy flowing around Pikachu, Greenie, with its eyes closed, gritted its teeth and shouted, "Pipika, fly up and use Tornado again!"

Red noticed that Pidgey was once again surrounded by dragon-type energy and instinctively felt something was wrong.

But the moment of truth is here, and he doesn't have much time to think: "Pikachu, Charm!"

Both sides gathered their energy again, and Red frowned as he watched Pidgey gather energy and get closer to Pikachu.

Why does Green always make Pidgey get close to Pikachu to unleash a tornado?

At this moment, the green face was full of tension, while the red face was full of confusion, creating a stark contrast.

This time, the tornado's energy first lifted Pikachu into the air, and Pikachu's energy was still a little short of being fully condensed.

As he watched the Pikachu disappear into the tornado for several seconds without making any reaction, his crimson eyebrows rose.

Qinglv's anxious heart finally settled down: the tornado's shrinking effect had finally been triggered.

Crimson stared intently at the pickup truck, which was spinning around in the tornado, and began to think.

Normally, being blown up by a tornado shouldn't affect Pikachu's ability to continue gathering energy, but Pikachu's current state is clearly abnormal.

A few seconds later, the tornado dissipated, and everyone saw that Pikachu was frozen solid, his energy disordered.

Crimson laughed: So it was a gamble on fear. A tornado has a 20% probability, so it's definitely worth the gamble.

With swift movements, red lights flashed continuously as Pikachu was put away and Charizard appeared in its place.

Viewers gasped again, and the live stream chat was flooded with comments.

Green didn't take the opportunity to use an attack move. He knew that with Crimson's hand speed, he could definitely catch the P.E.K.K.A. at the right moment, so there was no need.

He chose to switch in sync, his movements gradually quickening, red lights flashing, and Pidgey was replaced by Golduck.

With its attributes at a disadvantage, Crimson once again chose to remain still, waiting for Azure to make the first move.

Golduck is in worse form, and Green hopes he can make a comeback.

"Goldfish, water jet!"

"Charmeleon, get out of the way, then use Smoke Screen!"

Both were running and gathering energy, but Golduck was clearly faster.

The first move gathers energy faster, and the water-type energy quickly surrounds Golduck.

Golduck, propelled by water, transforms into a sharp blade and flies toward Charmeleon.

Red saw it clearly and quickly warned, "Charmeleon, roll to the side to avoid it!"

The two sides once again showed tacit understanding, or rather, Charizard knew all along that Red would make him dodge the attack in this way.

After all, they had been through countless battles together and knew the crimson part inside and out.

Charmeleon's body was already making a rolling, forceful motion as soon as it opened its crimson mouth.

Golduck was halfway through its flight when Charmeleon landed headfirst and began to tumble.

One second later, Charmander narrowly avoided the water jet.

The audience gasped in disbelief: "How the hell could someone dodge that?!"
