This time, he will not fall into the opponent's rhythm again!
"Profit!!!"
A sharp bird cry rang out, and the Muck Eagle in the sky immediately flapped its gray-black wings.
A burst of white light appeared on its body and wings, and it rushed towards Nidoking below in a white arc.
It must be said that Raiji is indeed very talented as a trainer; he can be considered a genius among ordinary trainers.
Unfortunately, he was born in an era teeming with geniuses, and could never have imagined that among these geniuses there were monstrous beings, such as those in shades of green and crimson...
23 “Observe the direction of the attack, stay focused, and then dodge!” As a fighter, Crimson was fully aware of everything in the battle. With a calm expression, he slowly and deliberately gave the order to Nidoran.
"Hoo~~~!"
Nidoking focused all his attention on Staraptor's attack, holding his breath and concentrating intently.
When the Mk Eagle switches from high altitude to low flight, just as the enemy is about to attack it.
"Roar~!!!"
Nidoking growled, slapped its tail on the ground, and leaped sideways to dodge Staraptor's attack, then...
"Lightning Fist!" Crimson commanded.
Sizzle!!
Golden electricity instantly gathered on Nidoking's fist, and golden lightning scattered in all directions—this was the Thunder Fist!
It slammed down hard on the Starhawk!
"In that case, Starhawk will engage it in close combat and show Nidoking what you're made of! Use melee combat!"
Seeing this, Reis gritted his teeth and instantly made the judgment of a seasoned trainer, ordering Staraptor to engage Nidoking in close combat.
As an eagle, and holding a place among bird-type Pokémon, Staraptor is unique in that it is not a Fighting-type, but possesses fighting skills that are no less than those of Fighting-type Pokémon!
Furthermore, this fighting technique is perfectly suited to its eagle nature; it's an instinct, which is why Staraptor was able to learn powerful Fighting-type moves for close combat!
Instantly!
"profit!!!"
Feeling the electric current that was already causing it a slight pain on its back, the Starhawk immediately fought back. Brown fighting energy instantly filled its wings, claws, and even its entire body, turning its whole body into a weapon for close combat!
With a turn, a wing flapped out fiercely, and brown fighting energy collided with golden electric energy, scattering light in all directions.
Then, another wing, imbued with fighting energy, slammed towards Nidoking's unsuspecting head!
"Push them aside with Poison Strike, then use Freeze Fist!"
Observing this scene, Crimson raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised by the Starhawk, and then immediately gave the order.
"Roar~!!!"
Nidoking roared, continuing its close-quarters combat with Staraptor with Thunder Punch, then lowered its head slightly, revealing the sharp horn on its head, as poison-type energy gathered.
In an instant, a sharp purple horn appeared, striking the Staraptor's wing with a powerful burst of poison energy. This instantly shattered the Staraptor's fighting energy, and the force of the energy nearly caused the Staraptor to lose its balance.
However, this also freed Starhawk from the possibility of continuing hand-to-hand combat with Nidoking, so Reese seized the opportunity: "Starhawk, hurry up, fly up again and get back into the air!"
"Profit!"
Staraptor reacted instantly, trying to flap its gray-brown wings and fly into the sky, but unfortunately, Crimson and Nidoking clearly wouldn't let it leave so easily!
"Use Rock Slide upwards!" Crimson commanded.
No sooner had he finished speaking than King Nido took action, raising his arms and drawing upon the rock energy within his body and in his environment.
In an instant, brown energy gathered in the air, condensing into huge rocks, which then shattered, sending countless rock fragments crashing down!
This completely destroyed their chance to return to the air!
"profit..."
Watching the rockfall getting closer and closer in the air, Starhawk flapped its wings and made up its mind. Amidst the slightly surprised gazes of Crimson and Reis, it resolutely turned around and charged towards Nidoking!
"Freeze punch!"
"Starhawk, let's go all out! Go! Unleash your full power with your Suicide Charge!!!"
Both trainers issued the command simultaneously. However, Reese's response stemmed from his courage in choosing to fight to the death in a critical moment, while Crimson's was merely a slight expression of respect after a moment of surprise.
Every brave person deserves respect!
"Roar~!!!"
Nidoking gazed at the M'k Eagle, which was resolutely plunging down amidst the falling rocks and rubble.
A roar was the response, the raised fist and the biting cold wind signaled the readiness to fight.
"Profit!!!"
Above the sky, beneath the collapsing rocks, the Mk Eagle was filled with a determination to fight to the death. Surging energy rushed in, and its body shone with an incomparably dazzling white light under this determination!
The intense white light represents the determination of the Mk Eagle!
Go on!
Lei Si's excited gaze!
...
Crimson watched calmly.
"Roar~!~~~"
"Li~!~963~~"
With a roar, Nidoking unleashed his raised Frozen Fist, and Staraptor, bathed in white light, also swooped down!
Forced Freeze Punch + Double Counter VS Sacrifice - Sacrifice Charge!
boom!
A burst of intense light erupted, and a massive rockfall instantly covered the sky, stirring up dust and temporarily obscuring the outcome of the battle.
At this moment, the audience was completely absorbed in the exciting battle, with only the host's shouts ringing in their ears. What dedication!
moment...
The dust settled...
"Roar~!!!"
On a small mound of rubble, the wounded Nidoking patted his chest and roared a triumphant cry towards the sky!
His aura suddenly surged, and a crisp sound of shackles breaking rang out. Nidoking had actually broken through to the advanced stage of the senior level!
Meanwhile, not far away, the Starhawk, buried under some rubble, had already developed circular eyelids and lost its ability to fight...
The referee waved his flag and announced, "Starhawk is unable to battle. Nidoking wins this round!!!"
...........................................
248. Top 32, Dragon King Scorpion VS Mosquito Coil Swimmer! The End! (Please Subscribe!)
"Thank you for your hard work, you did a great job..."
Red slightly lowered the brim of his red and white baseball cap, and looked at Nidoking, who was covered in wounds, panting heavily, still unable to contain his power after breaking through, and with an exaggerated expression on his face, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Let's rest now..." she said, taking out Nidoking's Poké Ball and putting it away as Nidoking looked pleased with the praise.
"Starhawk, you've done your best..."
Looking at the fallen Staraptor, Lei Si felt a pang of emotion, but could only recall it to its Poké Ball: "Let's leave it to the other Pokémon..."
Although he handed it over to other partners, he had already lost two Pokémon in a row in the 3v3 round of 32, so it could be said that his chances of winning were completely slim.
His opponent was so strong, he wasn't confident he could pull off a comeback, a nearly impossible one-against-three victory...
However, you should at least defeat one of his Pokémon!
At the very least, we should see the same Pokémon that the opponent had before, the pseudo-legendary Dragonair, right?
At this point, Raiji still believed that Dragonair, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon at the peak of the Elite Four level, was the strongest Pokémon in Red.
In fact, it's not just Rei who thinks this way. It can be said that, apart from a few people who are familiar with Red, almost everyone subconsciously considers Dragonair to be the strongest Pokémon in Red.
after all.
So far in the competition, apart from Pikachu in the first match of the initial qualifiers, only three Pokémon have been fielded in all the matches so far.
One is Nidoking, which has just broken through to the advanced level; another is Poliwag, which is slightly stronger than Nidoking; and the last one is Dragonair, which is at the peak of the Elite Four level!
To be honest, with just these three Pokémon, they could easily win almost any Pokémon tournament.
After all, a Quasi-Heavenly King at the peak is the minimum, with combat power infinitely close to that of a Heavenly King. There are only a handful of Quasi-Heavenly Kings in regular tournaments, and those at the peak of Quasi-Heavenly King are even rarer.
As for the Heavenly King? Please, you're already a Heavenly King, why would you participate in this kind of competition? Although the prizes for this Quartz Conference are indeed generous, I don't think any Heavenly Kings will participate.
Even if there is one, it should be someone everyone is familiar with, not this dark horse, Crimson, who has only been a trainer for less than a year.
However, even so, Crimson, who possesses the peak combat power of a near-Elite Four member, is undoubtedly a dark horse in this year's Indigo League.
Of course, some people say that this pseudo-legendary Dragonair should be from the Crimson Clan's family or faction, or even given to it by Professor Oak.
But it's undeniable that the pseudo-legendary Hakuryu was indeed under Crimson's control, as if it were his own arm...
Furthermore, many people don't believe that Red only has Nidoking, Poliwag, and Dragonair, since the participants in the competition will definitely have a full six Pokémon.
For example, the Pikachu that's placed outside the Poké Ball and yawns at my feet during every battle. Even though it's just a yellow mouse, as common as stray dogs on the street, it's still a Pokémon, isn't it?
What? You're saying a yellow-skinned rat might be stronger than a pseudo-legendary Dragonite? Are you out of your mind? A mere yellow-skinned rat couldn't possibly be!
This is simply a preconceived notion; even though this Indigo League conference is bigger than any previous Pokémon conference, people don't expect the Elite Four to emerge.
I don't think anyone has such freakish talent that they can reach superstar level within a year of their debut.
All I can say is that no one knows what will happen, even things that people think are impossible.
They never imagined that a Pokémon tournament could produce several Elite Four members, nor that some of these Elite Four members would have achieved this status within a year of their debut, and they certainly never imagined that someone could even surpass the Elite Four and reach... Champion!
Perhaps many years later, trainers will look back on the Indigo League, and Raiji will be glad that he once fought Red.
But clearly not now!
