Chapter 770: Burning Fists Just for You

Dragonite and Metagross were flying in the air, one, and floating on the rocks, respectively. Although they were in a water venue, the two trainers' choices at this time actually ignored the venue advantage and did not allow any water Pokémon to be present.

This is a relatively rare situation, especially in such an important game.

If it were any other contestant, they would be eager to seize every opportunity to give their Pokémon an advantage. How could they waste it like this?

It's okay for Zhe, after all, he didn't send out any water-type Pokémon to the field from the beginning, so it's not surprising that he still doesn't use the field to fight. But Xia You's Blastoise just performed so well, didn't suffer any injuries, and even had the advantage of the field, but he chose to change. It's really puzzling.

Only people like Xiaozhi who have known him since they joined the city know that unless he does it on purpose, changing a Pokémon after each battle is a habit Xia You has maintained since the beginning.

There are pros and cons to doing this. The pros are that by constantly changing Pokémon, every Pokémon can be involved, thereby improving their combat experience. The cons are that exposing all participating Pokémon too early is equivalent to putting your own lineup on the table, losing the effect of surprise.

Only those who have strong confidence in their Pokémon would choose to do this.

And obviously, in their impression, Xia You is such a person!

At this time, Metagross and Dragonite have already started fighting.

Just like Blastoise before, Metagross used telekinesis to launch long-range attacks, trying to defeat Dragonite in the other half of the field.

But Dragonite is not the Lizard King from the previous game, so he naturally has ways to deal with it.

Dragonite calmly used Tornado, and the moment the hurricane was formed, the pool water was rolled up by the wind and waves, creating a water tornado on the field. While using the water tornado to block Metagross's sight, it also dived into the pool water.

Seeing this, the audience suddenly remembered that although Dragonite is not a water-type Pokémon, it is a Pokémon that loves water and even lives by the water. Not only the current Dragonite form, but even its previous evolutionary form, such as Dragonite and Dratini, spend a lot of time living in the water every day!

From this point of view, although there are no Water-type Pokémon on the field, because it can fly into the air and dive into the water, except that it cannot use pure water-type moves such as Water Gun and Water Cannon, Dragonite, as a versatile one, is actually better than a Water-type Pokémon.

Of course, it’s no wonder that they only realize this now.

It is true that Dragonite is indeed rare for ordinary people, and Dragonite and Dratini are even rarer. Most people only know a little about them through videos or other Pokémon competitions.

But this is only for ordinary audiences. Pokémon trainers like Tetsuya and Satoshi have naturally dealt with Dragonite many times during their travels and are not unfamiliar with their fighting methods.

Seeing that he had lost track of Dragonite, no matter what the considerations were, Zheya could not let Metagross go into the water to attack it. He could only let his Pokémon float high into the sky, avoiding the waterspout while keeping a distance from the water surface to prevent Dragonite from launching a surprise attack from underwater.

Just when Metagross was staring at the water surface, Dragonite suddenly rushed out of the water tornado, and then his fists seemed to be burning, and in just a blink of an eye, he was close to Metagross.

This was too sudden and too unexpected!

Tetsuya and Metagross were all focused on the pool below, so they never expected that Dragonite would actually fly out of the waterspout?

And Dragonite's speed advantage was also fully demonstrated at this moment.

The distance of more than ten meters was covered in almost an instant!

The water droplets brought out by the water tornado splashed onto Metagross. Metagross only had time to turn its eyes before the fist covered in flames had already hit it!

boom!

Fire overcomes steel, and this attack caused considerable damage due to inertia!

Even after hitting Metagross, the flames continued to penetrate backwards for a long time, burning a small piece of sky behind Metagross!

The audience exclaimed.

The figure that breaks out of the water and flies out with a burning fist just to fuck you is really visually impactful!

As a versatile player who can use a variety of moves, although he is not good at all, this also gives Dragonite the ability to perform fire-based moves. Just like now, the fist covered in flames shown in front of the world is none other than the close combat move of the fire type - the Flame Fist!

The body of the Metagross was burned red by the high temperature, and it was unable to maintain its balance and crashed headfirst into the rock.

The host's exclamation finally came after a brief moment of surprise.

"What a creative way of attack! I thought Xia You used the tornado to block Metagross's telekinetic attack, but I didn't expect him to hide in the waterspout formed by the pond water, and dealt a heavy blow to Metagross and Tetsuya from a place they had never expected!"

Seeing this, Masamune in the stands also swallowed subconsciously.

Not to mention Zhe, even he didn't expect that Xia You would actually let Dragonite fly out of the waterspout!

Even though it was cast by myself, once it was formed, even Dragonite would suffer certain damage if you rashly entered it!

What a lunatic.

When he turned around again, he saw that Xiaozhi seemed to have expected this and was not too surprised. In addition to being surprised, Zhengzong also had a deeper understanding of Xia You's strength.

His unconventional fighting style shows that he is indeed a strong man...

After just two battles, and even the second one had just begun, his impression of Xia You had undergone a drastic change.

From the beginning, he believed that Zhe would win, but his mind changed instantly.

Not to mention these bystanders, as the victim of this incident, in addition to sharing the same surprise as these people about the attack just now, Zhe also felt a little heavy in his heart, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He finally understood what Meow Meow meant.

Although he had become more alert to this man, as the battle progressed, he felt more and more that he had been overthinking it.

Different from other people's perception, as an opponent, he clearly felt how difficult Xia You was to deal with, as well as the powerful strength of his Pokémon and the airtight defense that made it impossible for him to even see any flaws, let alone counterattack.

Really not giving any chance...

How come this guy is so strong?

How did he train his Pokémon?

Pokémon has outstanding abilities in both offense and defense, and the trainer has good command and is good at using unexpected attacks. It was only when he fought against such an opponent that he truly realized his own shortcomings.

The ease he had when fighting other opponents disappeared completely. In front of this man, Zhe felt that he was completely suppressed and as immature as a novice!

I even had the illusion that I had just fought him, but I had already lost the battle...

Knowing that he should not think too much at this time, Zhe took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew that it was because he was at a disadvantage from the start, which was rare, that he became nervous and put himself under such great pressure.

He also admitted that the man in front of him was indeed the most powerful person he had ever met since his journey.

But I am not weak either...

This can be proven from the fact that I have defeated so many trainers during my travels so far!

Moreover, his most trusted Pokémon has not yet appeared on the field, but it is not without a chance of a comeback!

The most important thing is that, just like Masamune, he simply doesn’t believe that every Pokémon after Xia You is so powerful!

Even the Elite Four cannot guarantee that every Pokémon they cultivate is excellent, let alone ordinary trainers!

After figuring this out, his eyes became firm again. Coincidentally, at this moment, Metagross also floated up from the rubble again. Judging from its state, although it was hit by a blow that was restrained by the attribute, it still had enough physical strength. Fortunately, the flaming fist just now did not trigger the burning state!

very good!

Everything seemed to tell him that his battle had just begun!

That's right! The battle with this man has just begun the second round, and all six of my Pokémon are still there. I should fight with all my strength and treat this battle as the final. How can I waver at this moment!

In the command area on the other side, Xia You naturally didn’t know what kind of psychological changes Zhe had gone through.

But one thing is certain, in just a short moment, Zhe seemed like a different person.

Although Zheya seemed very serious just now, after Dragonite's punch, it was as if something had been opened up in him. Not only did his eyes become sharper, but his aura also became stronger.

He probably knew that his situation was not good, so he planned to use 120% of his strength.

But in response, Xia You just smiled lightly and didn't care.

Sure enough, just as expected, as if awakened, Zhe also intensified his offensive. Under his command, Metagross launched a fierce counterattack, which obviously achieved certain effects and indeed caused great trouble to Dragonite.

But anyway, in the face of absolute strength, sometimes momentum can’t change anything.

Under Xia You's command, Dragonite naturally did not want to be outdone and launched an attack against Metagross.

The two Pokémon fell from the sky onto the rocks, and then flew back into the air from the broken rocks. After this battle, not only did Dragonite and Metagross suffer varying degrees of injuries, but the audience also enjoyed it very much.

This is the battle that should be presented to them after entering the main competition!

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but they always feel that this battle is too exciting. It doesn’t seem like something that should happen in the round of 32, but more like a final!

Even the other contestants opened their mouths in surprise. While admiring him, they were also glad that they had not encountered such an opponent.

Even influenced by this, the ratings of this match are rising steadily.

Although John, the live broadcast director, was somewhat happy about this, he was more deeply worried.

Looking at the short old man with his hands behind his back on the high platform in the distance, he couldn't help but ask himself: Such a level of battle has already appeared in the top 32, so what will you do after this?

When Xia You wins, he will have to face contestants whose strength is increasingly inferior to that of this competition in the next competition. Will he not suffer backlash from public opinion and ratings?

John sighed as he looked at the old man who had brought the Pokémon League to the top and was extremely powerful, completely different from his appearance.

Damalanqi, I hope you really have a plan in mind...

The battle in the field continues.

The aftermath of the fierce battle caused the pool to violently turbulent. Fortunately, both Pokémon had the ability to fly, so the battle was not on the water surface, otherwise it would have caused a complete collapse of the water field's foothold.

But even so, as a large amount of pool water surged out, the appearance of the entire water venue changed dramatically compared to before.

Although it seems that the two sides are evenly matched, the change actually happens in an instant.

Just when Zhe was a little careless, Xia You suddenly seized the opportunity. Under his command, Dragonite directly hugged Metagross and dragged it into the water!

Once in the water, Metagross obviously lost the ability to resist.

Its superpowers seem to be completely useless in the water. Even though it can float, due to the density and weight of its own body, it is unable to return to the surface of the water on its own.

On the other hand, Dragonite swam in the water with ease, and after letting go of Metagross, it quickly swam behind it and used its Lightning Fist at a very close distance, killing Metagross with one punch!

Although the audience saw this scene through the underwater camera, they didn't know whether Metagross lost or not because of the water flow.

It was not until Dragonite broke out of the water and threw the unconscious Metagross out of the arena that the entire audience burst into an uproar.

The referee raised the colorful flag at the right time and said loudly: "Metallica has lost its ability to fight. The winner of this round is Dragonite!"

No one expected that the battle that had just been going on back and forth would be decided in an instant!

However, despite being surprised, people still gave the warmest applause at this moment.

Only Zhe on the other side shook his head helplessly.

Everyone could see that he had tried his best in this battle.

After losing in the early stages, he turned the tables and fought Dragonite on equal terms. It can be said that Metagross's performance in this match was the best since he captured it!

But even so, he was unable to defeat Dragonite. In fact, when the final outcome was decided, Metagross was in the water, and there was a pond blocking his way. He couldn't even use the Poké Ball to retrieve it, and could only watch it get knocked down!

And the most frustrating thing is that now when he looks carefully, Dragonite doesn't actually have that many scars on its body compared to his own Metagross, which proves that the evenly matched strength just now was just an appearance, and it was just his wishful thinking!

It's really outrageous.
