Chapter 372 Just a passerby: Is the King of Oranges a turtle-type specialist?
Electromagnetic waves!
A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Chi's eyes.
Bangiras immediately launched an electromagnetic wave.
This is Zhang Fei threading an embroidery needle—that's meticulous work!
However, this [electromagnetic wave] also indicates a signal: Yueju's tactical approach for this match is already very clear.
The key is to slow down the pace and fight slowly.
By the time Xia Chi discovered this electromagnetic wave, it was already too late.
This electrical energy was released extremely quickly and discreetly.
The magical masked cat, who was completely focused on the operation of the [gear shift] energy, was disturbed by the environment and had no time to react.
Zi—
Just as the golden light enveloped her entire body, the subtle electric current also struck her precisely.
It did not cause any direct harm, but a strong feeling of numbness instantly spread throughout her body.
Magic Mask Cat frowned deeply, and his movements froze and became uncoordinated for a moment.
The [paralysis] effect is in effect!
Pokémon with this abnormal status will have their speed forcibly reduced by half.
What's more troublesome is that in the heat of battle, the circulation of energy within the body may be interrupted at any time, causing the use of moves to fail.
Overall, it's definitely not a loss for Yueju to exchange a [electromagnetic wave] for the [gear shift] enhancement of Magic Masked Cat.
"Bangilas, Iron Wall!"
The command from Yueju came from afar through the sandstorm, leaving Xia Chi speechless.
[Electromagnetic Wave] followed by [Iron Wall], this skillful defensive combo... if you didn't know better, you'd think the opponent was a Foretrus or a Shuttlecock.
However, on the other hand, they managed to turn Tyranitar, an elf symbolizing rage and destruction, into a mobile steel fortress.
This clearly shows how well prepared Yueju was to end Xia Chi's epic achievement of "continuously defeating six opponents."
At this moment, Meowha is in a state of [paralysis], and its movements are sluggish. It is too late to use [Taunt] to block the opponent's enhancement.
Xia Chi made a quick decision and changed his strategy.
"Seed Machine Gun!"
This is also a starting move that Magic Masked Cat is very familiar with.
The goal is not to pursue high damage in an instant, but to take advantage of its multi-stage rapid attack characteristics to quickly stack the passive layers of the [Light Titan's Resolve] equipment in a very short time!
After the last equipment upgrade, Xia Chi upgraded this piece of equipment to a more powerful piece of Light equipment.
Once the passive effect is fully stacked, it can provide a 100% increase in physical attack and physical defense, which is equivalent to using [Bodybuilding] twice in a row.
In this kind of war of attrition, it is undoubtedly extremely cost-effective.
As soon as Xia Chi finished speaking, the Magic Masked Cat, enduring the numbness in its body, used the vines to nimbly leap down from the towering rock pillar like a swing, landing lightly on another shorter stone pillar next to Tyranitar.
Without needing to aim, a series of seed bombs shimmering with emerald green life energy shot out from his mouth like a barrage of bullets, hurtling towards Tyranitar below, who was gathering energy!
Puff puff--
The dense impacts reverberated on the heavy carapace of the Tyranitar, like raindrops pattering on banana leaves.
Although the speed of the Magic Masked Cat was greatly reduced due to paralysis, it was still much faster than Tyranitar, which was not known for its speed to begin with.
Most of the seed machine gun's attacks hit their targets.
Even so, just as [Seed Machine Gun] was being unleashed to its final stage, Tyranitar's [Iron Wall] had just completed its final energy buildup.
With a deep metallic hum, its gray-green armor was suddenly covered with a layer of silvery-white metallic luster, greatly enhancing its physical defense capabilities!
Furthermore, Tyranitar was in full condition and had a lot of health when it first appeared, so the seemingly fierce [Seed Machine Gun] from Masked Cat did not actually cause significant health reduction.
Xia Chi didn't care at all.
He originally intended this move as a means of enhancement, and the damage he dealt was merely icing on the cake.
But what follows is the real start of the offensive!
"Meow, break the tile!"
Before the echo of the seed machine gun had completely faded, Magic Masked Cat had already leaped up from the top of the stone pillar again.
Although the numbness made her jump less smooth and perfect than usual, the speed boost from [gear shift] and the initial power from [Titan's Resolve] still gave her powerful momentum.
On the claw tip, destructive crimson fighting energy rapidly condensed and compressed, eventually transforming into an incomparably refined red energy battle axe.
With the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, it slashed down from mid-air towards Tyranitar's head!
As is well known, Tyranitar has both Rock and Dark types, and is four times weak to Fighting-type moves.
If this powerful tile-splitting attack hits, even though it has already strengthened its physical defense with [Iron Wall], it will definitely suffer severe damage.
Faced with this fierce offensive, Blueberry remained calm and composed: "Tyranitar, Stone Attack!"
"roar--"
—
Bangilas let out a deafening roar and slammed his powerful right foot into the ground.
The violent energy rippled into the ground, and the already rugged rocky ground in front of it exploded with a roar!
The next second, an incredibly thick, sharp-edged giant rock pillar burst forth from the ground, standing imposingly between Tyranitar and Masked Meow!
Clearly, the main purpose of Lanting's use of this powerful Rock-type physical move was not to launch a strong attack, but to conduct a defensive counterattack.
He intends to use hard rock to neutralize most of the impact of the [Brick Break] move.
The Magical Masked Cat was completely unafraid. Instead of dodging or avoiding, she charged straight at the protruding, sharp stone pillar!
The crimson energy battle axe shone even brighter on the tip of its claws!
boom-
The Fighting-type energy collided violently with the solid rock, and the explosive energy instantly split the thick stone pillar in two, crushing it into countless scattered fragments!
Although the energy of [Brick Break] was weakened, its momentum was still fierce, piercing through the rubble and dust, and slamming hard into Tyranitar's forehead, which was covered with a metallic sheen!
boom-
A deep, muffled bang that made your heart skip a beat exploded out.
Even after being blocked and weakened by [Stone Spikes], the terrifying damage from the four-fold counter still caused Tyranitar to let out a painful roar.
Its massive body involuntarily staggered backward, leaving a clear white slash mark on its head.
This attack clearly caused it considerable damage.
The first clash on the battlefield sparked a heated discussion in the live stream chat.
[Just a casual viewer, this is my first time watching a match. Is the Pokémon used by Elite Four member Tyranitar really Tyranitar?]
To me, it looks like a mutated, oversized pot.
[Um... as a long-time fan of the King of the Oranges, I have to say this is the first time I've seen him play so... composed. It must be a special tactic he meticulously prepared before the match, right?]
[This is so frustrating! Tyranitar is visibly miserable!]
[Turtle-type Elite Four member - Blueberry!]
Didn't you see the damage from that tile-splitting attack from Magical Masked Cat? If it weren't for Iron Wall and Sharp Stone Defense, it might have taken away half of your health. If you want to win, you have to play like this!
【I understand the logic, but why not just use Protect? The Stone Edge didn't do much damage, and we just took a Brick Break for nothing – what a loss!】
This is indeed a bit hard to understand...
"It's right not to hold on to it."
In front of the camera, Qi Shu rested his chin on his hands, staring intently at the screen, and provided a professional analysis.
"We all know that while Protect-type moves can perfectly defend against an attack, they have a well-known 'gap' or 'downtime.' If Protect is used too easily at the beginning of the battle, then during this dangerous period when it cannot be used again, Masked Meow can attack and buff without restraint, making the situation even more passive."
She paused, then continued to explain in more detail: "As for the fact that the sharp stone attack didn't do much damage, it didn't matter to King Lemon, because in his tactical system, he didn't expect Tyranitar to be able to suppress Masked Meow through attacks. Anyway, no matter how much damage it did, with Masked Meow's terrifying life-stealing ability, it could quickly recover through attacks."
Kiju stroked his chin and analyzed, "Yueju's overall strategy is probably a war of attrition, not just at the cost of life, but also at the cost of stamina and energy, which are inexhaustible. If his goal is merely to prevent 'Teacher Zhengshui' from achieving an unprecedented 'one-versus-six' feat, then this is undoubtedly a very wise and targeted strategy..."
[Holy crap, I see! Listening to Shubao's explanation is better than watching ten games!]
【Wow, Qishu, you're really good at this?】
I told you you could really learn something from watching Tree Treasure's live streams!
[But it's a bit humble, hahaha. Shouldn't the King of Oranges' goal be to win the championship?]
How did preventing the prison water from flowing through six areas become a success?
Here we go again, the classic "Poor Water Opening Leads to Disadvantage" segment!
Ignoring the teasing comments in the live chat, Qi Shu kept his eyes glued to the battle unfolding on the screen, and briefly summarized, "Alright, jokes aside, let's see what kind of countermeasures Mizuya-sensei will come up with to break this deadlock against such targeted tactics!"
Meanwhile, the fierce battle continues in the Flying Cloud Arena.
If even his "disciple" Qishu could see through the tactical intentions, Xia Chi, as a tactical master, naturally knew it when Tyranitar unleashed that [electromagnetic wave].
However, he didn't care about it.
A war of attrition with Meowha?
This is exactly what I wanted, and I couldn't have asked for it!
Needless to say, with the double lifesteal effects of the Magic Masked Cat's [Light of Blood] and [Dance of Death], Tyranitar's massive health was nothing more than a mobile health pack in Xia Chi's eyes.
As for energy consumption?
Don't forget that Victini carries the top-tier support artifact, the "Holy Grail".
A total energy recovery rate of 1% per second is more than enough to support the consumption of such high-intensity battles, and even more than sufficient to allow Magic Masked Cat to continue fighting without any worries.
Of course, we should despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically.
Xia Chi remained highly focused, his wave-guiding power like an invisible spider web, enveloping the entire area and not missing a single minute change in energy.
Let's refocus on the current game.
Seeing that the Magical Masked Cat had succeeded in its attack and, being on the ground, had lost its aerial advantage, Xia Chi immediately changed his attack angle and shouted, "Low kick!"
While both are fighting-type moves, the [Lower Kick] is better suited for close-quarters combat, targeting Tyranitar's relatively vulnerable lower body.
The aim is to disrupt its balance, slow it down, and create opportunities for subsequent combos.
However, just as the Magic Masked Cat strained its waist, preparing to twist and sweep out this kick...
The paralysis finally took effect.
She felt the muscles in her waist and thighs suddenly stiffen, and a strong sense of blockage came over her. The surging energy in her body seemed to have hit an invisible wall and suddenly collapsed.
That seemingly inevitable low kick failed to materialize before its power was fully condensed, and it was never successfully executed!
Ugh, this is troublesome...
Upon seeing this, Xia Chi frowned almost imperceptibly.
The randomness of the paralysis state is indeed the most unstable interference in the execution of such precise tactics.
There's nothing we can do; it seems we'll just have to take a hit during this lull in the attack.
He was bracing himself for a counterattack from Bangiras when the instructions from Blueberry caught him off guard.
"Bangilas, Iron Wall!"
Summer Pond:
'
'
No, buddy.
My cat is paralyzed and stiff in front of you, almost unable to move. How can you resist such a great opportunity to fight back?
Can you still fold your tortoise shell without any distractions?
That's truly reached a new level, a whole new height!
However, from another perspective, Yueju executed her "ultimate defense attrition" tactic with unwavering determination.
With such composure and focus, it's no wonder he's a superstar.
Amidst the howling sandstorm and the brief paralysis caused by the magical masked cat, a deep and melodious metallic clang once again resounded from Tyranitar's body.
A more brilliant and solid silver-white metallic luster, like a second layer of armor, covered its already indestructible body.
Tyranitar's second [Iron Wall] has been successfully deployed!
Its physical defense capabilities have been greatly enhanced once again, reaching a terrifying level that inspires awe!
Can Miaoha handle it?
Even Xia Chi couldn't help but wonder at this moment.
Tyranitar was a late bloomer among quasi-gods, and with its Champion-level strength, its foundation was extremely solid.
The two additional [Iron Wall] layers provide a 200% increase in physical defense.
The durability is so good that it's no exaggeration to describe it as indestructible.
It would have been great if Martial Arts Bear Master had started...
The "Crippling Mark" from the [Fighting Attribute] synergy, combined with the double armor-piercing effect of [Light: Last Whisper], makes every punch from Master Bear practically "true damage".
In front of it, let alone two layers of [iron wall], even ten layers, it can be pierced through with one punch!
Unfortunately, it can't be replaced.
Given Miaoha's temper, if we replace her in this situation, who knows how much of a tantrum she'll throw after the match.
There was no other way but to trust her and try to overcome this tough nut at the beginning.
