Chapter 319 When it comes to dirty opponents, Xia Chi has always been the least...
Chapter 319 When it comes to dirty opponents, Xia Chi has never been afraid of difficulties!
Xia Chi's appearance at the Battle Park is no different from a player of Messi or Ronaldo's caliber suddenly appearing on a street basketball court in my previous life.
Even the local favorite, Alice, was completely overshadowed at this moment.
In just a short while, the entire Battle Park was teeming with people who had gathered around the battle cage where they were.
The flashes of cameras were going off one after another, and some people even started live streaming.
The small community battle cage was transformed into a frenzied atmosphere reminiscent of a grand final in a stadium with tens of thousands of people.
"No wonder she's a big star!"
Looking at the packed crowd outside, Alice couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "I've lived in Shuanglong City for so long, but this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this."
Xia Chi smiled upon hearing this and said confidently, "You'll get used to it more and more over time."
Alice's talent in combat is beyond doubt.
In the original timeline, the storylines of Black and White and Black and White II were only two years apart.
Her status has thus achieved a double promotion from gym leader to Unova Champion, demonstrating her formidable strength.
Therefore, this is not just a polite blessing, but a prophecy that is destined to come true.
Alice, naturally unaware of the reason, simply took it as Xia Chi's high recognition of her strength. Her bright eyes instantly ignited with even more intense fighting spirit, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes! I will try my best!"
After all, it's just a battle park, so it certainly won't be equipped with professional referees or anything like that.
The rules of the battle can only be decided by Xia Chi and Alice.
The basic rules are naturally the doubles that we just discussed.
Xia Chi's team revealed their lineup directly: Dragonair and Victini.
The rules that need to be discussed are another matter.
"So, should we use Super Evolution or Hypercrystallization?"
Xia Chi took the initiative to suggest it.
"I'd really like to give it my all."
Alice hesitated for a moment, her gaze sweeping over Xia Chi's two Pokémon. "But Xia Chi, it seems neither of your Pokémon can Mega Evolve, right?"
"fine."
Xia Chi waved his hand dismissively, "Just go all out."
For him, the stronger the opponent and the greater the gap, the more "fear value" he can squeeze out, which is exactly what he wants.
Alice isn't the type to be pretentious.
Despite being the "Executive Vice Gym Leader" of the Twin Dragons Gym, she was well aware of the skill gap between herself and the world-renowned trainer before her.
She was very self-aware and positioned herself as the challenger.
After a moment's thought, Alice readily nodded: "Alright! Then I won't be polite!"
No referee needed to blow the whistle; after a simple discussion of the rules, the battle began instantly!
The spectators outside the cage were buzzing with discussion, their clamor almost filling the entire battle park.
"Xia Chi is being far too arrogant! Isn't this blatantly giving Alice a super evolution?"
"That's right! Our little Alice's strength is almost catching up with Gym Leader Shaka's; it feels like she really has a chance to win!"
"It's hard to say, that's Xia Chi after all."
"Don't idolize him too much. That Dragonair was clearly only recently captured, its strength is average, and it only appeared once in the Victini Mikoli Cup. Its performance was far less impressive than Meowth and Tyranitar. Iris clearly has a better chance of winning this time!"
"Wait, how come you know Xia Chi's lineup so well? It's not 'Water Ghost,' is it?"
"I'm not, are you?"
"Me neither, who among us is a water ghost anyway?"
Amidst the enthusiastic discussions of the audience, the battle officially began.
In front of Xia Chi, Hakron and Victini, the temporary duo, stood tall, their fighting spirit high!
Unfortunately, their appearance is just too cute. Their high fighting spirit does not add much intimidation, but instead makes them even more adorable.
Alice deftly threw out two Poké Balls!
A flash of white light, and her two starting Pokémon—her only two Pokémon in this battle—made their grand entrance.
It was the same cheerful Dragonite from before, and a Salamence with fierce eyes and blood-red wings folded to its sides!
Xia Chi clicked her tongue softly.
Two near-god-tier characters, wow, that's quite a luxurious lineup.
And then there's Hakron and Victini on our side.
Three pseudo-gods and one mythical beast.
Goodness, this is arguably the most star-studded doubles match ever in Community Battle Park's history.
Regardless, the battle has officially begun.
------
"Salamander, Mega Evolution!"
As soon as the battle began, a burning fighting spirit ignited in Alice's eyes.
She raised her arm, her fingertips touching the keystone ornament hidden in her thick purple hair. Her clear shout echoed throughout the hall, and the keystone set in the center of the headdress suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
Unlike the crystallization which requires a specific timing to be released, super evolution doesn't need to be hidden; seizing the initiative is the key!
"roar--"
The Salamence let out a deafening roar, and the Mega Stone hanging around its neck resonated with it, bursting forth with the same dazzling seven-colored light.
Two beams of light suddenly connected above the field like a bridge, and the dazzling stream of light instantly engulfed the massive body of the Salamence.
In the Light of Evolution, Salamence undergoes a dramatic transformation.
As the light faded, the Mega Salamence made a stunning appearance!
Its wings twisted and deformed into a chilling crescent shape, and the carapace covering its head became even more ferocious.
The dragon's might and ferocious aura emanating from its body surged exponentially, making it seem like a killing behemoth that had come from ancient times!
At the same time, in front of Xia Chi, the Hakron, which had entered battle mode, raised its head and roared, with a surge of energy around it.
[Flying Attribute] Synergy triggered, Tailwind state, activate!
A strange and powerful gust of wind suddenly appeared and surrounded Hakron and Victini, greatly increasing their speed!
"Dragonair, Ice Wind! Victini, use Ability Swap against Salamence!"
With the wind at his back, Xia Chi had no reason to give up the initiative, and issued the order swiftly.
He did not choose to let the two elves fight the opponent head-on.
Mega Salamence is in high spirits, and its Intimidate ability, which it had when it first appeared, is now active.
The invisible pressure caused both Dragonair and Victini's physical attack power to decrease, resulting in a significant reduction in their damage output.
At this juncture, controlling the situation and weakening the opponent are the optimal solutions.
Victini is a veritable treasure trove of variation moves, effortlessly employing all sorts of dirty tricks.
Although Xia Chi doesn't usually demand much from Victini's direct offensive capabilities, he always goes to great lengths to ensure that Victini masters strategically important moves like [Character Summon].
Just like in his debut at the McColi Cup, Victini made a huge fuss over Super Steelix with a [defense switch].
When it comes to dealing with dirty opponents, Xia Chi has always been the least afraid of difficulties.
Alice confidently raised her hand and simultaneously issued the commands: "Salamander, Dragon Dance! Dragonite, Heat Wave!"
Her tactical intentions were crystal clear.
Mega Salamence, once you acquire Mega Evolution resources, is the absolute main attacker and should be prioritized for strengthening.
Dragonite plays a supporting and secondary offensive role, and even a tank role when necessary.
The fastest player on the field, Victini, made the first move.
"Tini!"
Victini's tiny wings vibrated at a high frequency, its V-shaped ears trembled slightly, and powerful spiritual energy instantly coalesced.
The strange supernatural energy, like countless shimmering pink particles, quickly converged in front of it to form a constantly rotating, twisting sphere of light.
The next moment, the ball of light stretched into a super-powered, distorted beam of light with a bizarre trajectory, and shot precisely at the Mega Salamence that had just completed its Mega Evolution and was at the height of its power!
The massive body of the Mega Salamence suddenly stiffened, as if some inherent power rules within its body had been forcibly altered and stripped away, replaced by a strange energy being injected into its body.
In the blink of an eye, its [Flying Skin] feature has been quietly replaced by Victini's original [Victory Star].
His [flying skin] was transferred to Victini.
Whether or not you have a flying skin for Bictini isn't really important.
But the Super Salamence doesn't have a flying skin, yet it's very important to Xia Chi—
This means it cannot convert Normal-type moves into Flying-type moves and gain a power boost, greatly reducing its tactical flexibility and offensive capabilities!
On the other side, Hakron exerted its strength almost simultaneously.
It gracefully raised its long neck, and endless extreme cold energy gathered wildly deep in its mouth, causing the surrounding temperature to drop suddenly, and even tiny ice crystals to condense in the air.
In the blink of an eye, a pale white gust of wind, mixed with countless sharp ice crystals and freezing air, like a cold abyss from the extreme cold, roared out and swept towards the direction of Mega Salamence and Dragonite!
Wherever the cold wind passed, a layer of white frost quickly formed on the ground.
But the Mega Salamence ignored all warnings and began to move with an agility that belied its size.
Dragon Dance!
With the dragon-type energy swirling around it, Mega Salamence's speed and attack power began to surge rapidly during this ancient dance!
The Dragonite next to it puffed out its cheeks, took a deep breath, and an intensely hot energy was brewing wildly in its throat, causing the surrounding light to distort slightly due to the high temperature.
The next moment, it opened its mouth wide, and a wave of scalding heat erupted like a volcanic eruption!
Like a scorching wind passing through, carrying a heat wave that distorts the vision, the hot wind violently collides with the howling, freezing wind!
Ice and fire, two completely opposite energies, collided violently in mid-air!
Shila-
A piercing sound of energy annihilation rang out, ice crystals rapidly vaporized under the high temperature, flames struggled to spread in the freezing air, and large amounts of white mist billowed and spread!
Ultimately, the [Hot Wind], with its superior base power and ability to counter ice-type attacks, prevailed, and the scorching airwaves crushed the momentum of the freezing wind.
The residual heat also hit the Hakron and Victini, causing them some damage.
Alice's brilliant and timely response instantly ignited a frenzy among her supporters outside the cage!
"Well done, Alice!"
"Alice, you're the best!"
"This is filthy prison water! Do they really dare to do this offline? Do they think my light stick isn't fully charged?"
"Go, Alice! Let's show that dirty old man what the Unova trainers are all about!"
------
Looking at the frozen wind that had been successfully neutralized and even suppressed, Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't care about getting hurt.
After all, both Victini and Hakron are fire resistant, and the hot wind weakened by the Frozen Wind can't do much damage.
Most importantly, it neutralized the annoying and deadly slowing effect of [Frozen Wind]!
The two Pokémon already have a speed difference due to the Tailwind buff, and if they are hit by Freeze Wind, the crucial first Dragon Dance boost effect of Mega Salamence will be greatly reduced.
As for the [Flying Skin] being replaced with [Victory Star]?
Alice didn't care, and she even thought it wasn't a bad thing.
The team-wide hit rate boost from [Victory Star] is a great thing.
"Dragonite, target Dragonair, Meteor Shower, Salamence, Rock Slide!"
Having achieved satisfactory results in the first wave of attacks, Ellie didn't pause for breath and quickly organized a fierce offensive!
With the blessing of Victory Star, the Meteor Shower attack, which had a slightly unreliable hit rate, is undoubtedly much more reliable.
Without much aiming, Dragonite tilted its head back and a ball of orange-red light containing terrifying Dragon-type energy rapidly condensed before being shot out.
The ball of light shot into the sky, tracing a beautiful arc. Upon reaching its apex, it suddenly split into more than a dozen smaller energy meteorites, trailing brilliant tail flames. Like divine punishment, they bombarded the direction of Hakron with a deafening roar!
Beside it, the Mega Salamence, whose speed had greatly increased after the Dragon Dance, roared and its ferocious wings, like blood moons, flapped forward!
Countless enormous, angular energy rocks, carrying suffocating pressure, materialized out of thin air above Hakron and Victini, blotting out the sky!
The area was extremely large, almost covering the entire half of the field!
Faced with this double attack that could be described as a desperate situation, Xia Chi's calm command voice rang out.
"Victini, switch powers with Salamence! Dragonair, Meteor Shower, target Dragonite!"
Because of the existence of telepathy.
Xia Chi's commands actually reached the hearts of the two elves even before his words.
Victini reacted instantly, her small body unleashing an astonishing surge of superpowers, her eyes radiating a dazzling blue light.
In the blink of an eye, another strange super-powered light wave shot out from Victini, arriving first despite being delayed!
It has to be said that the tailwind effect brought by Hakuryu's Flying attribute bond is extremely crucial at this moment.
Victini, maintaining its fastest speed in the entire arena, successfully and precisely hit Mega Salamence with the [Power Swap] beam before the falling rocks completely landed!
The massive body of the Mega Salamence stiffened once again, and this time the feeling was far worse and more powerless than before!
Its surging and abundant attack power, which it had just painstakingly enhanced through the Dragon Dance, was suddenly lost by more than half like a flood!
The next moment, the overwhelming rockfall finally arrived and crashed down!
boom--
Huge energy rocks slammed into Hakron and Victini's bodies, crashing to the ground with a deafening roar, sending up countless fragments of rock and dust, and causing the entire arena to tremble violently.
However, since [Power Swap] has already taken effect, Mega Salamence's attack power has been greatly reduced.
These rocks were not nearly as powerful as they appeared, and the actual damage they caused was far less than Alice had anticipated.
Hakron and Victini skillfully dodged or braced themselves amidst the smoke and dust, appearing somewhat disheveled but far from being seriously injured.
Alice's face instantly darkened.
She knew that when fighting against Xia Chi, she always had to be prepared for these endless, disgusting dirty tricks!
