Chapter 85 It's Zhao Qian's turn to compete.
The following afternoon.
Psychic-type Gym.
Zhao Qian began his challenge.
Question: Please explain the function of the silk-spitting technique.
"Silk Shot, a Bug-type move, greatly reduces the opponent's Pokémon's Speed."
This is knowledge that Zhao Qian learned when he was in school.
Naturally, he answered fluently.
"Correct answer, you pass!"
He answered all five room questions correctly in a row.
Ye Kai couldn't help but look at him with new respect.
After all, in terms of academic performance alone, he wasn't as good as Zhao Qian.
He answered a question incorrectly in the sixth room.
"Go, Kadira!"
"Mantis!"
"Use the combo attack!"
Soon, thanks to attribute advantages and the characteristics of skilled players.
With a single slash, Scizor severely injured Kadabra!
Zhao Qian naturally won.
Time passed second by second.
Zhao Qian continued to pass through the challenges and eventually arrived at the 10th room.
Question: What Pokémon combine the Steel and Psychic types?
"There are two major families: Iron Dumbbell and Metagross, and Bronze Mirror and Bronze Bell."
He answered without hesitation.
"DiDi!!"
"Wrong answer! Battle begins!"
The lights in the entire room were turned on.
Begin the battle.
Upon hearing this question in the secret room, Ye Kai was secretly alarmed.
If it were an ordinary elf, Zhao Qian's answer would be correct.
After all, Jirachi and Solgaleo are legendary Pokémon.
But the answer was still wrong.
This means the League has discovered these Pokémon!
"Come out, Medicham!"
"just!"
The elf stood on both feet, but on tiptoe; its grayish-white body looked as if it were wearing pink pants.
Its thighs are extremely thick!
"Go, Scizor!"
Zhao Qian launched a strong attack, and Scizor once again unleashed a Bullet Punch.
Something incredible happened.
I didn't expect my opponent to be even faster than Scizor!
The trainer's eyes were flashing with a scarlet light.
This Çalhana is actually using a high-five to launch a surprise attack!
"Don't be afraid! The high-five surprise attack can only be used in the round you enter the fray, keep using Bullet Punch!"
Upon receiving Zhao Qian's command, Scizor continued to unleash its Bullet Punch.
I was interrupted again!
This time, the opponent launched a feint!
This move's initiative is faster than a bullet punch!
After suffering two setbacks, Zhao Qian had to change his tactics.
This Charem is a Fighting/Psychic type and is not afraid of Bug-type moves.
"Come back! Attack, you cunning tengu!"
Zhao Qian decisively replaced the Scizor.
"Hey!!"
This elf is entirely brown with white mane, and its long nose resembles a tengu mask.
Its feet stand upright as if wearing wooden clogs, and its hands are three large leaf-shaped pieces.
The opponent took advantage of this gap when they replaced their Pokémon.
Launch another strong attack!
It looks like another feint attack!
"A surprise attack with a high-five!"
This time, the cunning tengu was faster, and the two afterimages intertwined.
One green and one purple.
Finally, Çalhan was slapped away by the cunning Tengu.
"Use the blade!"
The opponent's Pokémon simply used a Psychic-type move to attack.
The cunning tengu remained completely unaffected.
It is a Dark-type Pokémon, immune to Psychic-type moves!
The cunning tengu's hands emitted a bright green light from their blades, which it then used to slash directly at its opponent.
They quickly beat Çalhan until he was seeing stars.
It seems that it hit the nail on the head!
The battle is over.
He continued to the next room.
Question: What color is a Shiny Dragonite?
"..."
Ye Kai wanted to laugh when he heard this question.
He knows the answer.
But this question was incredibly tricky for Zhao Qian and his team.
Dragonite is already rare as a pseudo-legendary, let alone a shiny Dragonite.
"red?"
"DiDi!!"
"Wrong answer! Battle begins!"
Looks like these last few rooms are meant for you to fight!
Finally, after painstakingly completing 12 rooms, Zhao Qian arrived in front of the dojo master.
"Next up is the Dojo Challenge, featuring trainee trainer Zhao Qian from Liancheng against Dojo Master Huang Shih-hao!"
"Since challengers only have 1 badges, gym leaders will only send out 4 Pokémon."
"The match will continue until all of the other side's Pokémon are defeated!"
The referee then announced the start of the match.
"Go, you cunning tengu!"
Zhao Qian felt more and more that he had made the right choice in catching this Pokémon.
He was able to break through the 12th room only because he was immune to psychic-type abilities due to his dark attribute.
"Gallade!"
The two sides quickly engaged in a fierce battle.
"Use the combo attack!"
"An eye for an eye!"
Scarfed Gallade is faster than Swiftmend.
Combo Slash is a Bug-type move, which, combined with the Sharpness ability, makes it even better.
With just one strike, the cunning tengu was severely injured!
The cunning celestial dog then resorted to an eye for an eye.
This move was quite powerful, but Gallade withstood it despite being low on health.
"How is this possible?!"
"..."
Huang Shih-hao didn't say much, and Gallade's second consecutive slash had already struck the cunning Tengu.
It saw stars.
Ye Kai could see everything clearly from inside the secret room.
Zhao Qian made a misjudgment.
Gallade is a Psychic-type, but it also has a Fighting-type.
It is not afraid of Dark-attribute moves.
Even if the power of "An eye for an eye" is doubled, it will only have a power of 100.
Trying to turn the tables and instantly kill your opponent is a bit unrealistic.
"Go, Scizor!"
"Come back, please, Slowbro!"
Both sides chose to substitute their next Pokémon.
This time, Huang Shih-hao used a subspecies of the Slowpoke.
This is a Poison/Psychic type Pokémon!
"Use bullet punches!"
"Retract into its shell!"
Ye Kai remembered that this move was originally called "shrinking shell"?
Bullet punches are fast.
However, when hit by a thick-skinned, dull beast, the impact is only so-so.
Then in the second round of combat, Scizor discovered that it couldn't use Bullet Punch anymore.
Looking into the wise eyes of the Slowpoke, it was clear that it had been frozen in place.
"return!"
"Rock-mane werewolf!"
Zhao Qian replaced the Pokémon again, while Slowbro continued to strengthen its defense.
"Use shadow clones!"
You upgrade, I upgrade too!
He plans to increase his evasion rate to deal with the Slowbro.
"Slowpoke, Surf!"
Good heavens, this powerful water-type move has created a massive wave.
It sent the mane rock werewolf flying with a single blow.
All the shadow clones disappeared, revealing the original body.
Then the Slowbro shot purple venom from its arm at the Lycanroc.
This is its signature move, the "Arm Shell Weapon"!
This move will use the higher of the two attacks to strike the opponent.
It's a move exclusive to Galar Slowbro!
The mane-rock werewolf was hit by a series of blows and was brought to the brink of death.
Zhao Qian's rhythm has been completely disrupted.
Not good!
The Slowbro was still strengthening itself.
Huang Shih-hao's eyes were flashing red.
I don't know what Slowbro has enhanced.
Zhao Qian made up his mind; he had to kill this stupid beast, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get through this!
"Go, white sea lion!"
The white sea lion makes its appearance and immediately uses surfing!
The Slow-Beast then used its arm, which was covered in a snail shell, to shoot out venom again.
This purple toxic liquid moved like a homing missile.
No matter how the white sea lion darted and leaped in the giant waves, it couldn't escape.
Ye Kai immediately understood; this was clearly a deadly poison!
Zhao Qian's only chance to turn the tide in this match was this white sea lion.
"Niu-u~!"
The white sea lion was still poisoned.
The venom easily seeped into its snow-white fur.
Surfing is like a gentle scraping motion on a Slowpoke, barely scratching its back.
The entire arena was now filled with water. The white sea lion locked onto Slowbro and blew a strong gust of cold air from its mouth!
The entire venue is frozen!
The Slow-Footed Beast was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, completely still!
