Chapter 534 The Journey to Parthia (4)
Northwest of Zhuotai City.
Rebecca had seen the circular building several times from the air before.
This is the headquarters of the Padiya League.
Compared to other Alliance buildings in other regions, this one is incredibly understated...
Compared to the luxurious buildings of "Orange Academy".
It's even less worth mentioning.
But she didn't care; getting through it quickly was the most important thing!
Padiya Union Building
"Buzz!"
As the electric door opened, a comfortable blast of cool air from the air conditioner wafted in...
Enter the Alliance building.
What comes into view is an empty reception room and a desk.
Xinli, the fourth of the Four Heavenly Kings of Padiya, acted as the interviewer, waiting for challengers to come to her door.
"You've finally arrived, Ivan Rebecca."
"So, can we start the challenge right away?"
"Don't rush, according to the normal procedure, I need to interview you first."
"...But since you have such a reputation, let's skip the formalities."
"Come with me."
……
Xin Li arrived at the other side of the battlefield.
He took off his glasses and straightened his tie.
Is he handsome?
"I won't hold back, you five-time champion."
"Oh!"
Was the first one a tricornus?
"Gem starfish!"
Rebecca sent out this veteran directly.
The three dungeons unleash a sandstorm as soon as they enter the field.
A rough sandstorm swept through the air.
The gem starfish also tried to pray for rain...
It seems that both sides share the same idea: to use the weather advantage to overwhelm their opponent.
And both are very fast.
But the gem starfish is faster!
Instead, it was the Diglett that acted later that covered the rainy day with a sandstorm.
"Going slow isn't always a bad thing, use Rock Slide!"
[Use surfing to block attacks while continuously adding water to drown it!]
"Splash!!"
"Boom!!"
A massive "rock rain" condensed in the sandstorm.
The stars were thrown at the gem sea like dumplings being dropped into a pot, but were all caught by the giant waves they generated.
The power of the rockfall has ended, but the gem starfish is still exerting its force!
Xin Li then realized something was wrong.
This move isn't aimed at the three-horned moles.
Her specialty is ground-based attacks.
If the entire site were submerged, it would be an overwhelming disadvantage!
Diglett also wanted to use "Surprise Attack" to interrupt Starmie's continuous Surf.
The result was that they were outmaneuvered by "shadow clones" and "teleportation".
The three hamsters were quickly submerged in water and became seriously injured.
"return!"
"Go, King Catfish!"
"Freezing Beam!"
[Energy Ball!]
The Catfish King makes its appearance.
The first thing to do is to freeze the ground to create a solid surface!
This will prevent the subsequent Pokémon from being at a disadvantage due to the terrain.
But Rebecca had already "predicted" this move.
Starmie's Grass-type Energy Ball, which is four times super effective against Whipped King, instantly KO'd it!
The Catfish King didn't even have time to make a move.
"Clap!"
Xin Li clapped and exclaimed in admiration.
"You're really amazing. I thought you were just relying on your high-level Pokémon to win these victories. It seems you're not so simple."
She recalled the King Catfish and quickly sent out the next one.
"Earth King!!"
So, the "Water Storage" Earth King?
This earth king is perfectly fine when soaking in water, and even quite enjoys the aquatic environment.
Heavy rain began to fall on the battlefield.
The midfield of the Gemstone Starfish was also covered by sandstorm weather.
"Too crystalline!"
Just then, a violent flash of light enveloped the entire area.
Then you can feel the surroundings dropping below freezing...
The Earth King was frozen solid, rock hard!
The battle is neither an animation nor a game.
There's no rule against interrupting your opponent's Mega Evolution, Crystallization, or even Z-Moves!
Who's going to wait for you to slowly "transform" there?
……
7 minute later.
"Let's go to the next room. You're really something else, but Poppi is a genius no less than you."
what?
It would have been better if we hadn't said anything.
Upon hearing this, Rebecca suddenly remembered.
It seems like the ninth generation has one of the Four Heavenly Kings, who is still in elementary school?
"Sister Xinli, you lost again?"
"I can't believe it," said 9-year-old Poppi.
"Yeah, after all, my opponents were champions from five different regions, and I was defeated in a 1v6 sweep."
"Little Poppi is going to help her sister get back on her feet."
As she spoke, Xinli looked at Rebecca and smiled.
"..."
"Then let's start the competition!"
"Charge! Great King's Bronze Elephant!!"
"Gem starfish!"
Xin Li, who was watching from the sidelines, was somewhat puzzled.
Why does she still choose Starmie when facing Steel-type opponents?
Could it be that Rebecca only has one gem starfish to fight?
……
More than 6 minutes have passed.
"Metal explosion!!"
[Teleport to dodge.]
A red light flickered frequently in Rebecca's eyes.
The Elite Four in the Padia region are already quite strong, with most of their Pokémon being level 80 or higher.
Simply relying on level difference to pressure your opponent will no longer be as effective as it used to be.
However, the speed advantage remains unchanged.
The "super shield" of the city-guarding dragon was completely outmaneuvered by the super-fast speed of the gem starfish, and its several "pounces" were easily evaded.
This sudden metal explosion was even more powerful than the "Big Bang" of a normal elf!
If someone gets hit by the explosion, they'll likely be severely injured!
But there are still ways to deal with gem starfish.
It teleported to a favorable position.
Then a "wall of water" rose up from the ground!
While obstructing vision, it completely neutralized the shockwave.
The next moment, the sharp salt water formed an ultra-high pressure "water knife" that sliced through the water wall and struck the guardian dragon.
"Burning!!!"
"Boom!!"
The massive protective dragon refused to fall and crashed heavily to the ground.
What can it do? There's absolutely nothing it can do!
If you're slow, you'll just get played to death, like being kited to death...
This is Poppi's sixth spirit.
She lost.
"Looks like Rebecca is still the best. I'll go find my uncle to beat you up!"
"Uncle! It's your turn to go on stage."
Although Rebecca already knew who Poppi's "uncle" was.
That's right, it's Aoki.
Padiya does not restrict players from being both Elite Four members and Gym Leaders.
[It seems we meet again. This time, I'll use all my strength, little girl.]
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
Aoki still had those dark circles under his eyes from working overtime, looking like a middle-aged beast of burden.
But his army of Normal-type Pokémon should not be underestimated.
"Muk Eagle!"
Dragonite!
This time, Rebecca did not continue using the gem starfish.
Instead, they chose to use Dragonite.
"Use close combat!"
Dragonite does not require Rebecca's commands.
They charged forward at an even faster speed, interrupting the Mk Eagles' attack.
That's how domineering speed is!
"Too crystalline!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
After dealing a devastating blow to Starhawk, she decisively chose to enhance her speed with "Taijing-like" power!
He killed Aoki in one fell swoop.
"Come back!"
Aoki also recalled Staraptor and seized the opportunity when his opponent transformed into a crystal, switching to Altaria.
"Tanabata Bluebird, Freezing Beam!!"
……
It has to be said, Aoki is still Aoki.
Dragonite after defeating the fourth Earth Dragon.
He himself was also on the verge of death.
Rebecca still sent out Gem Starfish for the next round of the competition.
The game ended in the final 10 minutes.
"Even with the use of underworld tactics and all-out effort, he still lost? That's really impressive..."
"Please wait a moment while I call the next person."
"Hachisaku-san, it's your turn!"
……
"I am Hachisaku, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Parthia, and also an art teacher at Orange Academy."
"I've heard several dragon trainers talk about you; you're quite famous, Rebecca."
"Go, Noivern!"
"Riding the dragon!"
Rebecca rarely sends out this one.
The level of a dragon rider is also 100.
"Sonic blast!"
"avalanche!"
avalanche?!
Bashuo was rather curious.
Knowing that you're good with Dragon-type Pokémon, shouldn't you have just used Ice Beam?
The sonic boom is quite powerful.
Chenglong took the hit head-on and was sent flying three or four meters before he could launch his own attack.
This made Bashuo even more vigilant, because Lapras was not a slow Pokémon; on the contrary, it was very fast!
There must be something fishy going on!
as predicted.
It would have been better if he hadn't made a move, but when he did, it was earth-shattering!
After being struck, the dragon exhaled extremely cold air, turning the entire area into an ice cave in just a few breaths.
The cloud-like chill condensed and did not dissipate.
A large, dark cloud, like a prison, loomed over the area.
Then comes the ice-type version of "Super Rock Slide"!!
Ice stones rained down on me like garbage being dumped on me!
"Don't panic, use sound waves to shatter these ice blocks!"
It can shatter, but the splash damage is still considerable.
As long as that "cloud prison" remains, there will be a continuous stream of ice stones falling down.
The Noisy Dragon quickly fell into a near-death state.
"I've never seen this method of yours before. Since you like using ice..."
"Go, aluminum-steel dragon!"
"Blast this cloud apart with a meteor shower!"
"earthquake!"
[The ground cracks! ! ]
Rebecca issued two orders in one go.
But Chenglong already knew what she wanted to do.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom!!"
In an instant, sparks flew from the sky and crashed down with tremendous force.
The ground was rumbling!
Bashuo initially believed that the earthquake was not powerful enough to kill the aluminum steel dragon.
However, this meteor shower can further deplete the dragon's strength.
The game is still going!
...Bullshit!
Soon, the "earthquake" that the dragon had started unleashed grew increasingly powerful...
This isn't an earthquake, this is a "ground fissure"!!
It even knows this trick?!
"Don't look at me like that. Imitation vanilla is a specialty of your Padia shops. As long as you have money, you can buy it in abundance. It's nothing special."
"..."
Rebecca's words left Basuk speechless.
The cracked ground created a terrifying fissure beneath the aluminum-steel dragon's feet, causing it to sink into it if it lost its footing.
In an instant, the earth transformed into a gaping maw of abyss, ready to devour anyone who dared to gnaw at it, and then closed and squeezed!
"Roar!!!"
The aluminum-steel dragon died instantly!
A single, decisive blow!
Terrifying!!
"Instruction fraud? I was careless..."
"Dragonite, use Extreme Speed!"
"Come back!"
Rebecca recalled the heavily injured and weakened Lapras and sent out the Gem Starfish.
……
This time, Hachisaku was defeated in just 7 minutes.
The dragon's probing was the main factor, and it played a significant role.
"Then I congratulate you in advance. You are just one step away from becoming a six-time champion."
"The champion is in the room behind me; she's waiting for you."
After passing through a long passage.
Rebecca met a dark-haired woman in the lobby in front of the Hall of Fame.
She stood tall and was dressed in a black fitted suit and trousers.
The champion moved with elegance and composure, turning around slowly.
"Rebecca, is it?"
"I've long admired your name... Let me introduce myself first."
“I am Ye Ci, the resident champion of the Padiya region, and also the chairman of the Padiya League.”
"Then let's not delay and start the competition."
也慈
"Oh!"
Something that can only be seen in "Zone Zero" has made its appearance.
Crystal Flower!
Is this the first thing they release?
Sure enough, in the game, they were really going easy on us.
The key is to prioritize using this item to trigger "poison everywhere" – that's the way to go.
"Gem starfish!"
Ye Ci stood with his hands behind his back, calm and unhurried.
Like Rebecca, she received no instructions.
The crystal flower opened its bud-like body and squeezed.
Soon, a glob of purple liquid was about to shoot out.
Rebecca knew exactly what this guy was up to!
Ye Kai knew every single one of Jing Guanghua's actions, from eating rice to defecating!
[Use the most powerful water jets to finish the battle quickly!]
"just!!"
The gem starfish, though a latecomer, has already surpassed the competition.
A water cannon, pressurized to its maximum, struck the golden flower directly.
The aftershocks of the water jets shot onto the ground and walls, tearing deep "knife marks" in the process!
"Gurgle gurgle!!"
The crystal flower's outer stone shell burst open with countless poisonous thorns, and then it fell into a near-death state.
Ye Ci was also taken aback.
That's something.
so smart?
They finished it in seconds?!
It seems that this water jet is the starfish's killer move; we absolutely cannot take it head-on!
But no matter what, it's slow...
She retrieved the Crystal Flower and sent out the next one.
"Dorambaruto! Spirit Sneak Attack!"
This is a bit tricky.
A surprise attack right from the start?
But the gem starfish still has its unique skills.
[Use shadow clones and flashbangs to try and dodge this wave of attacks!]
"Ahhh!!"
Upon receiving the mental command, the gem starfish swiftly created a shadow clone.
The venue was packed with countless "clones"!
"..."
Goodness, I really don't know which one is the real body.
Dorambaruto quickly emerged from the shadows, annihilating a large number of shadow clones, but none of them were the real Dorambaruto.
"100,000 volts, shock it!!"
[We'll also use 100,000 volts, no, we'll use an eight-tenths volt!]
This is going to be interesting.
The enemy's 100,000 volts were applied before they made contact with Starmie.
It was resisted by the electricity that enveloped its body.
Then countless clones transformed into light-wheel saw blades, slashing towards Dronbalut!
Even though Dorambaruto instinctively used "Dragon Arrow" to destroy a large number of shadow clones in a moment of desperation.
But they still couldn't find the original body...
If this gets hit by the Starfish's combo attack, it's probably game over!
"Continue the stealthy attack!"
[Use a magic-based spatial manipulation to disrupt its speed, then seize the opportunity to kill it!]
Dronbalut's super-fast speed is quite troublesome when its level is suppressed...
The gem starfish released flashes of light to guard against a sudden attack from the enemy.
On the other side, it quietly casts a "magic spell."
Soon the opponent could no longer contain themselves and was about to launch an attack.
But it was in that instant of making the move that I felt uncomfortable.
This caused Dorombalutto to miss the best opportunity to make a shot.
It's the magic space that's causing trouble!
Starmie unleashed a magical flash combined with a burst of light, leaving Dralongatu dizzy!
No matter how fast you go, can you outrun light?!
"Boom!!"
A fleeting opening can be fatal; Dorambaruto was blasted away, desperately embedding himself in the wall, on the verge of death...
"That's truly remarkable insight; I applaud you."
"Keep this momentum going, and let me see your full strength."
Yeci sent out the next one.
Super-powered Ostrich.
This thing?
The next moment, the giant ostrich stepped on the wall of light and charged towards the starfish in the air.
Rebecca was naturally unafraid.
Ye Kai had previously owned a subspecies of Zapdos, so what was a mere Psychic Raptor compared to that?
