Chapter 30 At this moment, the sun shines brightly!
"Challenger, the first battle is over. I hope your performance in the second battle will satisfy me."
Li Luochen is usually very easygoing, but once he enters a mentoring mode, he becomes extremely strict.
Lin Jiahao's performance was really terrible.
Despite having so many opportunities to encounter the Void-Breaking Flame, they didn't manage to do it even once, wasting the perfect chance to be fed.
If he could give a score, Li Luochen would give it a negative score.
They hadn't even met, and Lin Jiahao's performance was still far inferior to N's.
At least N can adapt to different situations, while Lin Jiahao's approach is completely rigid and lacks any "spirit" that a trainer should have.
and.
What was the situation with N before?
N lived a secluded life from a young age, never battling, simply living with Pokémon.
Even in situations like these, N can manage to briefly gain the upper hand.
In contrast, Lin Jiahao.
Having received excellent battle training from a young age, he has more practical experience than the average traveling trainer, and he was even able to get into a prestigious 211 university like Rongcheng University.
The results of it?
They were on the defensive the entire time, and were completely dominated by themselves!
If their high school teachers saw this, they would be too ashamed to show their faces!
"Teacher Luo Chen! I'm sorry!"
Lin Jiahao sincerely apologized.
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to your Pokémon partners. I'm just a Gym Leader, you and your Pokémon are your partners and family, I'm just here to give you pointers."
Li Luochen sighed, a look of helplessness appearing in his eyes.
"Laplace, thank you for your hard work! I'll definitely work hard from now on! Now, let it handle things!"
Lin Jiahao recalled Lapras, took out a second Poké Ball, and sent out a blue and white Pokémon.
Its body resembles an oval, with one ear standing tall and the middle of the other ear folding down, and the end of its curved tail looks like a ball.
That's right, it's the Water Bumper Pokémon, nicknamed "Dragon Slayer"!
Marilullie!
Pokémon: Azumarill
[Attribute: Water, Fairy]
[Level: 38]
【Characteristic: Strongman】
[Moves: Water Jet (inherited), Jump, Playful Rumble... others omitted.]
Marill has low base stats, but with its Huge Power ability, it is stronger than many physical attack-oriented Pokémon.
It's clear that Lin Jiahao did his homework.
Water-type Pokémon are immune to Charizard, Fairy-type Pokémon are immune to Dragonair.
If it were me not long ago, I might have actually gotten hit a few times.
"Marilluri is doing well. Whether she can obtain a badge next depends on your command."
"I want to make one thing clear: I will give it my all from now on, and I hope you can deliver a result that satisfies me."
Lin Jiahao's Pokémon are indeed impeccable, all meeting the basic standards of local 211 university students. Judging from the level of this Marill, it is most likely his starter Pokémon.
Li Luochen's brows relaxed, and he nodded, signaling the challenger to attack first.
How many moves do you think they can last this time?
[Three moves, I suppose. That Void-Piercing Flame looks like the Flame Emperor, and even if it isn't, it probably possesses some of his power.]
As you all saw, Laplace's surf was swept in two by his tail. Winning now will be very difficult.
If Jiahao wants to get the badge, he'll have to do his best and show his improvement.
The viewers in the live stream discussed Lin Jiahao's situation. Although Marilullie looked like it was being cultivated quite well, it was still lacking compared to the Sky-Breaking Flame.
"Teacher Luo Chen, I'll go! Maryluri, use Water Jet to approach the Sky-Piercing Flame!"
Upon hearing the command, Li Luochen's first reaction was to frown.
Attacking an unknown Pokémon without any prior testing is a grave mistake from any perspective.
Ok……
Perhaps Lin Jiahao just wants to get close; he could switch to another move when they're right in front of each other.
Li Luochen thought for a moment, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
If he didn't think that way, Li Luochen might start criticizing again.
"Mary!"
Mariluri surged with water as it skimmed the ground and hurtled straight toward the Sky-Piercing Flame, making no attempt to conceal its intentions.
"Sky-Piercing Flame, Flame Guardian."
Li Luochen spoke casually, as if he were talking about something trivial.
"Flame Guardian? What kind of move is that?"
Lin Jiahao didn't understand, but when he saw the raging flames erupting from Po Kong Yan's body, he thought it was some kind of offensive killing move.
but……
Since it's about protection, it must be some kind of defensive move, right?
For example, moves like Iron Wall can significantly increase one's own defense.
In an instant, a proud smile appeared on Lin Jiahao's lips.
He got it!
Li Luochen wanted to test his quick thinking and how he would react when he encountered a move he had never seen before. It was a test of his understanding of the move!
Since it's a fire-type move, he should definitely counter it with a water-type move!
Yes, that's absolutely right!
"Marilure, stop right here and use the water flow to break it open!"
Water Slash, a water-based physical attack, has a power rating of 85 according to the official League description.
With its Huge Power ability, Azumarill also benefits from STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus). This punch would probably shatter even the Blaze's attack!
"Mary!"
Mariluri stopped in time, the water that enveloped her body gathered on her arms, and the clear torrent transformed into a giant hammer, crashing down on the Blazing Flame in front of her!
clang!
At this moment, a protective shield of flames appeared, cutting off the flow of water.
Mariluli staggered back several steps due to the reaction force. Just as Lin Jiahao was about to give instructions, he discovered that his partner was covered in red blood and sparks were flying everywhere.
Burns!
Lin Jiahao: ? ? ?
"Flame Guard works like a fortress. It not only defends against enemy attacks but also inflicts burn damage on Pokémon that come into contact with it."
Li Luochen explained calmly.
Burns can reduce the opponent's physical attack by half.
This negative status effect on Azumarill renders its Hercules ability ineffective, making it no different from a normal Azumarill.
"It's just a burn! Marill, we still have special attacks! Use Water Gun!"
Lin Jiahao dared not be careless. It was too late to regret it now. If he only focused on venting his emotions, his rating with Li Luochen would definitely drop to negative.
They already don't have many points left, so please don't let them drop that much!
"Mary!"
Mariluri took a deep breath and instantly spewed out a thick jet of water from her mouth, shooting out with a roar!
"Dragon Dance, dodge."
Li Luochen only gave Lin Jiahao three chances. This Dragon Dance was the second one. If he couldn't come up with a solution, the battle would have to end there.
"Roar!"
Having used the Scale Shot once, the speed of the Sky-Piercing Flame suddenly increased, and it darted to the side, easily avoiding the incoming water cannon.
A surge of red light rose, and the ferocity in the eyes of the Sky-Piercing Flame became even more pronounced. At the same time, it raised its head and roared, its body radiating rapid light.
Mariluri wanted to make the water cannon change direction, but during the movement, she discovered that the water jet was getting smaller and smaller!
A beam of light appeared and stopped on the ceiling.
The heatwave then swept in, creating the effect of a sunny day!
At this moment, the sun is shining brightly!
Water-type moves are halved in power!
Lin Jiahao is in deep crisis!
