"What kind of constitution is this?"
There was no time to think further.
The giant tortoise-footed armored creature was about to leap off the cliff into the sea to escape, and did not attack Gengar.
Ee-ee~
Gengar gave chase.
The waves splashed everywhere.
The giant tortoise-footed armor plunged into the sea and disappeared.
"Oh no, it got away."
Yongxin was about to vomit before he could finish speaking.
The chills and tingling sensations were not diminished in the slightest. People with trypophobia could not look directly at this giant tortoise-footed armor, or they would feel nauseous and want to vomit endlessly.
"It can't escape."
Bai Hong walked to the edge of the cliff on the coast.
At this moment, the Diamond Steel Serpent, which was lurking in the sea, successfully wrapped its long serpentine body around the Giant Armored Turtle. With the great help of the Swamp Monster, the Giant Armored Turtle was unable to break free.
"Lizard King, Sunbeam!"
Boom! A powerful beam of light shot out from above the coastal cliffs and struck the giant turtle-footed armor with perfect accuracy.
The giant turtle-foot armor is four times weaker than grass.
They were hit by this beam of sunlight.
How can we withstand it?
"Go!"
Bai Hong throws out a Poké Ball.
Successfully subdued this giant turtle-footed armored creature.
Who would have thought that the Diamond Steel Serpent was lurking in the sea, using its nearly transparent diamond body to reduce its presence and launch a surprise attack on Swampert?
Chapter 34 Diamond Skin
"Can the Diamond Steel Snake dive?"
Yongxin forced himself to walk to the edge of the cliff despite feeling unwell.
I happened to see the Diamond Steel Serpent floating on the surface of the sea. It didn't sink to the bottom of the sea like a stone, showing that it was an excellent swimmer.
"Is that strange? When it was a Crystal Onix, it lived in caves near shallow seas, and naturally retained that habit after evolving." Bai Hong was already used to it.
Back then, he made a special trip to Ponkan Island to catch the Crystal Onix, fearing that someone else would beat him to it. Fortunately, it wasn't so easy to capture, which gave him hope to fight to the bitter end.
The Crystal Onix is afraid of fire but not water.
The attributes are rock and ground.
It is suitable for dry skin.
The Rock and Ground attribute combination is four times weak to Water, making it difficult to live in water. However, thanks to Dry Skin, it becomes less afraid of water. But there's a problem: Rock and Ground have twice the Fire resistance, so even with Dry Skin, it's not that vulnerable to Fire.
According to Dry Skin's description, this ability deals 1.25 times the damage from Fire-type moves, which, when balanced by double Fire Resistance, shouldn't make it afraid of Fire. However, the anime shows that it is indeed afraid of Fire.
However, Bai Hong was certain that Crystal Onix's ability was Dry Skin, making it immune to Water-type moves and even able to recover HP from Water-type attacks.
So where does the problem lie?
Later, through research, he discovered that dry skin experiences a continuous decrease in HP during sunny weather and when subjected to fire-attribute attacks.
That is to say, you are losing health.
It looks like it's afraid of fire.
However, none of that matters anymore.
When Crystal Onix evolves into Diamond Steelix, its type changes from Rock/Ground to Steel/Ground, becoming twice as weak to Water and twice as weak to Fire. Dry Skin actually exacerbates its weakness to Fire.
Most of the time, the Diamond Steel Serpent is more comfortable in water, while a dry environment makes it extremely uncomfortable.
During the battle.
This would be a fatal weakness.
If the opponent finds an opportunity to use a fire attack, the Diamond Steelix will likely not be able to withstand it, especially when facing a strong enemy, and may be instantly killed by a single Flame Burst attack.
To avoid this situation.
Bai Hong plans to start with dry skin.
While keeping the attributes unchanged, try to improve the abilities as much as possible, since both Crystal Onix and Diamond Steelix are products of special environments.
His training method, though somewhat simple and brutal, was effective: he made the Diamond Steelix endure the scorching flames of Charizard every day until its diamond body underwent a qualitative change.
Dry skin has been transformed.
Upgraded to a rare diamond skin.
Diamond Skin retains some of the effects of Dry Skin, is unaffected by Water-type moves, and heals itself after being hit by a Water-type move; using Rock-type moves automatically converts them to Diamond-type, increasing the move's power by 20%.
This is the special ability developed by Diamond Steelix, and it is also a means of fighting against Champion-level trainers.
The so-called feature upgrade.
It's simply about eliminating the side effects.
Although Diamond Steelix suffered a lot during the process, it persevered and thankfully the final result was satisfactory, freeing it from any harsh environment.
Even in the scorching desert.
There was no pressure at all.
It at this moment.
Soaking in the sea is especially comfortable.
"come back!"
Bai Hong retrieved the Diamond Steelix with a ball, followed by Swampert, Sceptile, and Gengar, without the slightest hesitation.
"You truly live up to your reputation."
Yongxin gave him a thumbs up in person.
The layout just now.
It is both highly efficient and flawless.
"Let's go back."
He gestured for Yongxin to quickly step onto it.
Yongxin wanted to say something more.
The fire-breathing dragon flaps its wings.
He flew over the mountains and forests with him.
"Hey, fly slower!"
Yongxin hugged the fire-breathing dragon tightly.
I dared not look down.
Not for a while.
The fire-breathing dragon landed on the ground.
"Go and pick up Bai Hong."
He held the front of the SUV with his hand.
It seems like I'm having trouble recovering.
oh~
The fire-breathing dragon responded.
It flapped its wings again and flew over.
five minutes later.
Bai Hong successfully returned.
"Let's drive!"
"I'm not feeling well."
Still disgusting?
"It's a tiny bit better than before."
After a short while, Yongxin started the off-road vehicle. The wind blowing in through the windows greatly relieved his physical discomfort.
They didn't linger in Winged City, bypassing the bustling city center, and rushed back to Miare City before nightfall to hand over the giant tortoise-footed armor to Mr. Pochi.
It's approaching evening.
The SUV drove to a suburban estate.
Upon seeing that the visitors were Bai Hong and Yongxin, the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the door and notified Xini without the slightest delay or negligence.
The housekeeper was in charge of receiving them.
It took half an hour for Mr. Pochi to arrive.
Of course, Hine came along too.
"So fast?"
Mr. Poch was a little surprised.
It will take at least two days to travel from Miare City to Winged City, and then to the coastal cliffs to capture the Tortoise-Footed Giant Armorer.
"Is it fast? Maybe we're in a bit of a rush. This giant tortoise-footed giant armor is indeed not easy to catch." Bai Hong handed over a Poké Ball.
