Chapter 22 Father’s love is like a mountain!
The attributes of the Lotus Hat Boy are Water and Grass, and Fire-type moves really have no effect on it.
Lin Rui naturally knew this.
The reason why he let Strong Chicken use Charged Flame Attack was not to rely on Charged Flame Attack to deal damage, but to allow Strong Chicken to stack the speed buff.
His Strength Chicken has an acceleration characteristic, and the passive of Charged Flame Attack also increases speed.
As long as Chicken-Strong's speed buff is stacked, Zhou Zihao's Lotus Hat Boy can't touch Chicken-Strong at all.
"Strong Chicken, keep using the charged flame attack!"
"Lin Rui, are you a fool? You know that fire-type moves are ineffective against my Lotus Hat Boy, but you still use this move."
"Lotus Hat Kid, use the water gun!"
Upon hearing the command, the little boy in the lotus hat quickly condensed a ball of water energy from his mouth, and then sprayed out a water gun.
Unfortunately, the strong chicken was very fast and the water gun couldn’t catch up with it.
boom!
Strong Chicken's charged flame attack hit again.
Although the damage of the charged flame attack to the Lotus Hat Kid was limited, the Lotus Hat Kid was more or less injured after being hit head-on twice in a row.
Also, don't forget that fire-based moves can have a burning effect.
At this moment, a small flame appeared on the body of the boy in the lotus hat, which was a sign of the burning effect.
It can be said that Lin Rui is invincible in this game.
Even if the Strong Chicken does not attack from this moment on, the rat can still kill the boy in the lotus hat.
Unlike Lin Rui's ease and calmness, Zhou Zihao was extremely anxious at this moment.
After entering the burning state, the Pokémon will continue to consume its physical strength. He must win the game before the Lotus Hat Kid's physical strength is exhausted, otherwise he will lose.
"Lotus Hat Kid, use Super Absorb!"
Super Absorption can absorb physical strength from the opponent, thereby restoring a certain amount of physical strength of oneself.
I have to say that Zhou Zihao responded very quickly.
However, Super Absorption is a Grass-type move, and it has little effect on the Fire-type Brawl, and it can't restore much physical strength at all.
Not even as much as consumed by the burning effect.
"Scream!"
Taking this opportunity, Lin Rui asked the strong chicken to make a sound.
Then, the strong chicken made a shrill cry towards the boy in the lotus hat.
This kind of area attack cannot be avoided.
Zhou Zihao didn't want the boy in the lotus hat to dodge, but let it continue using the water gun.
Originally, the speed of the Lotus Hat Boy's water gun was slow, and after a few attacks from Strong Chicken, the speed buff had already been stacked up.
The lotus hat kid's water gun couldn't hit the strong chicken at all.
At this time, Lin Rui only needs to let the Strong Chicken attack the Lotus Hat Boy a few times, and with the burning effect, he can win the game.
However, Lin Rui didn't want to end the game so quickly.
He just wanted to slowly wear down the boy in the lotus hat.
"Strong Chicken, keep using your voice!"
The Strong Chicken used its roar again, and the attack power of the Lotus Hat Boy was further weakened.
On the other hand, Zhou Zihao's Lotus Hat Boy, except for the super absorption that can cause a little damage to Strong Chicken, the other skills cannot hit Strong Chicken at all.
In the end, Zhou Zihao had no way out and could only watch his little boy in the lotus hat being burned and his strength being drained away bit by bit.
"The little boy in the lotus hat has lost his ability to fight, so the strong chicken wins!"
"Player No. 176 Lin Rui wins!"
After winning, Lin Rui didn't even look at Zhou Zihao, and turned back to the audience.
Zhou Zihao's strength can only be described as average, so it was reasonable for him to win.
"Ruizi, well done, let this kid show off again!"
Back in the audience, Sun Zhi was the first to rush up and give Lin Rui a bear hug.
He had long disliked Zhou Zihao, but had never had the chance to teach him a lesson.
"Congratulations, Lin Rui, you passed the second round successfully!"
Zheng Jianan on the side also hurriedly offered his blessings.
If Wang Shiyu and Sun Zhi hadn't been there, she would have wanted to give Lin Rui a hug as well.
"No big deal!" Lin Rui said with a smile.
Afterwards, a few people stayed to watch a few more games.
The vast majority of the matches were rather boring, and the players weren’t very strong.
But there were also several contestants who caught Lin Rui's attention.
Among them, there was one girl who left a particularly deep impression on Lin Rui, not because of her looks, but because of her Pokémon.
A level 30 Gengar.
This was the first time he saw a Pokémon with a second stage of evolution evolve to its final form in the Elite Cup.
Gengar is the final evolved form of Gastly.
After Gastly evolves into Haunter at level 25, it needs to evolve through communication or use some special items to evolve into Gengar again.
And after watching the opponent's game, Lin Rui became more certain that the opponent was very strong.
"Looks like I have to get Gyarados to level 30 when I get back!"
The second round lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening.
The remaining 500 contestants will continue their third round of qualifiers tomorrow.
After leaving the Battle Park, Lin Rui said goodbye to Zheng Jianan and the others and went home.
As soon as I entered the house, my parents immediately surrounded me.
"How was the game, did you win or lose?"
"You damn old man, how could my son lose!"
Zhang Chunmei glared at Lin Zhiguo unhappily, then turned to look at Lin Rui and said, "Son, you must be hungry. Mom will cook some noodles for you."
"No mom, I've eaten."
Lin Rui reached out to stop Zhang Chunmei, pulled her to sit on the sofa, and then said with a smile.
"I have successfully advanced to the third round of the preliminaries, and I can guarantee that I will be the champion of this Elite Cup."
"Go ahead and brag, if you can win the championship, I will..."
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Lin Zhiguo hesitated for a moment, then said generously: "I will help you buy an elf egg from the breeding house."
"Any fairy egg?"
Hearing this, Lin Rui was stunned at first, then asked with shining eyes.
"Any elf egg, as long as you like it, price is not a problem!" Lin Zhiguo said, patting his chest.
"Dad, this is what you said, you are not allowed to regret it when the time comes!"
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. He will never go back on his word!"
"Mom, you have to bear witness for me."
Although Lin Zhiguo had promised not to go back on his word, Lin Rui felt that he still had to take out a double insurance policy, so he asked Zhang Chunmei to be a witness.
Zhang Chunmei wanted to persuade Lin Zhiguo, after all, an elf egg was not cheap.
But Lin Zhiguo had already said so much, and she didn't want to offend Lin Zhiguo in front of Lin Rui.
So, I could only sigh and agree to be the witness.
Seeing that Zhang Chunmei agreed, Lin Rui happily kissed her on the face, then skipped back to the room.
After Lin Rui entered the room, Zhang Chunmei frowned and complained to Lin Zhiguo.
"You old man, don't you know how expensive elf eggs are?"
At this time, Lin Zhiguo changed his previous expression and suddenly became serious and said.
"Of course I know that fairy eggs are expensive, but since the child has decided to take this path, we as parents must support him."
"But where do you get the money to buy the elf eggs?" Zhang Chunmei asked.
"I plan to sell the car." Lin Zhiguo said as he lit a cigarette.
"That's not enough, right?"
Lin Zhiguo’s car is just an ordinary domestic car, and even if it is sold, it is only worth about 100,000 yuan.
Lin Zhiguo blew out a smoke ring and then said, "We'll see when the time comes. If it doesn't work, go borrow some more."
Lin Rui, who was hiding behind the door, heard every word of their conversation.
"Mom and Dad, thank you. I will definitely let you live a good life!"
Lin Rui said silently in his heart.
