Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 453 A Certain Scientific Railgun!

Compared to Leopard, among the four calamities, Ancient Snail and Ancient Deer are both passive Pokémon.

But unlike the old deer with the "big cauldron" on its head, it has the ability to instantly kill enemies by cracking the ground and has strong defensive capabilities.

The resistance of the ancient snail is much weaker.

In terms of race distribution and skill pool moves, it is completely incomparable to the Ancient Cauldron Deer. It is not only afraid of melee, flying, poison, and fire, but also afraid of ice, fairies, and insects with a four times weakness.

In the region of Padia, there is a type of Bug Pokémon that is very common: the Razorback, which is hailed as the light of Bug-type Pokémon!
The passing Fierce Leg Locust Warrior came up and delivered a head-on blow that could kick Gu Jianwo out his leftover rice from the night before!

If you can't kick it out, then Gu Jianwo must have eaten too little last night!

It's true that the Treasure of Calamity is powerful. After all, a great calamity can not only weaken the opponent's health, but also control the emotions of life, causing the opponent to explode on the spot.

But it's also true that they are weak.

Just like the ancient snail shell.

Once you find the right strategy, in this land of Padia, a place of "brilliant beasts and spiritual energy," with a single shout, the ground will be swarming with swarms of Fiery Leg Locusts. One kick from one of these insects and you'll explode on the spot, won't you?
Therefore, the strategy of the Ancient Snail is generally to use Leech Seed and Root, combined with Leftovers and Substitute to protect, or Poison Powder and Catastrophe, the main idea is to grind!

As long as I don't die, I can find a way to stay on the field. I can't win in a head-on fight, but I can use these disgusting moves to whittle down the opponent's health and restore my own!
Thanks to its ability "Calamity," it can reduce the opponent's attack power by 25%. Combined with its own high physical defense of 100 and special defense of 135, even with a 4x weakness to Bugs, it is not so easy to be defeated!

But that's it.
“When Pokémon are not under the command of their trainers, they often fight according to their own personality and ideas.”

"You're supposed to be a tank, why are you only using offensive moves?"

That's right, Gu Jianwo, who is frank to the point of being somewhat stubborn, did not immediately use the attrition-based strategy!

Instead, it charged straight at them!
The key is.
Aren't you a snail? How come you run so fast!
It's a snail, but its base speed stat is 70!

It's twice as high as Tan Xiaoshi's 35!
Charcoal Servant was also startled! It looked at the Ancient Slipper Snail and realized that it wasn't fast! It wasn't as fast as the Ancient Sword Leopard, but it was still much faster than itself!

The two purple-glowing vine-like tentacles lashed out in mid-air, creating sonic booms and afterimages!
Each strike created a dent in the ground!
A powerful lash! The attacker violently lashes out with vines or tentacles, slamming the opponent down. It's an absolute powerhouse among Grass-type physical attacks. With a power of 120, it's flawless except for its slightly low accuracy!
Tan Xiaoshi kept dodging, rolling on the spot to avoid Gu Jianwo's impenetrable attacks, and using the fire hammer in his hand to look for an opportunity to strike!

Accumulated flame attack!

Tan Xiaoshi used the same tactics he had used against Gu Jianbao: high-speed harassment and constant rolling. After the first charged flame attack hit, he gradually recovered!
Gu Jianwo gradually couldn't keep up with Tan Xiaoshi's speed. Even his powerful whipping couldn't hit the little knight who was dodging left and right. His eyes looked left and right, but he could only see a afterimage of flames, and the damage from those flames was constantly accumulating!

Gu Jianwo's eyes emitted a dark light!

Resentment! Harboring resentment towards the opponent's last move, reducing that move's PP by 4!

Tan Xiaoshi's stamina began to decline, and he could no longer use his Charged Flame Strike. However, Tan Xiaoshi also used Resentment on Gu Jianwo!

Also reduce the amount of force you use to whip my bottom!

Snapped!
Using the Charged Flame Strike doesn't consume much stamina, but using the Powerful Whip Strike consumes much more stamina!

This almost completely stopped the powerful whipping, causing Gu Jianwo's body to stiffen abruptly, and the bamboo slips on his back to stop rotating!
"Gu Xi!"

Good heavens! Gu Jianwo was on high alert. This little fireman was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

But that's it.
A powerful green light erupted from Gu Jianwo's body and struck Tan Xiaoshi directly!
Ultimate Absorption!

"Click, click!"

With most of his stamina instantly drained, Gu Jianwo let out a low, chuckled laugh and changed his fighting style.

Then the vine whip lashed out!
However, what looks like a rattan whip is actually a "slap"!
This move knocks off the opponent's possession and cannot be used until the end of the battle. Furthermore, the damage of the knock-off move is doubled when the opponent is holding an item!
In other words, it's a Dark-type move with 130 power, plus the 1.5x bonus from its STAB Dark-type attribute!
This whip nearly turned Charcoal Knight into a spinning top, smashing the hammer in his hand away with a loud crack. The little knight also rolled several times on the ground before finally getting up in a disheveled and shaky manner!

"Ouch!" Tan Xiaoshi cried out, his eyes closed and his whole body trembling.
Even wearing armor, it hurts so much! It feels like my body has been smashed to pieces!

"Although the Ancient Snail's Attack stat isn't particularly high, its damage output is still quite considerable when using high-power STAB moves."

"Especially since you're just a fragile little guy."

Samurai's base stats are too low. Even with training, without resorting to external tactics, it's far inferior to these boss Pokémon in direct combat.

"When we fought the Ancient Sword Leopard, it was because the leopard liked to play around, but it ended up messing things up itself."

"But when it comes to the giant snail in front of it, Gu Jian Snail is clearly not as playful as Leopard. It is quite cautious and comes out with a powerful move to show respect!"

Listening to Guangtai's comments, Gu Jianwo nodded slightly.

You human being, you do have some sense!

But what kind of caution is this?
If the ancient cauldron deer were here...
It starts by blowing you away, making it impossible for you to fight it, and then it turns around and runs away!
This is what it means to "subdue the enemy without fighting"!
The withered leaves of the ancient snail rustled and spewed out a series of dust particles!
"Quick, drink some orange juice with pulp!"

"Click!"

Without hesitation, Tan Xiaoshi took the drug directly. After taking the all-purpose protective medicine, he entered a mysterious protective state and rushed in despite the dust!
Ignore all paralyzing powder and poison powder!

Eat my big, explosive flames!

Tan Xiaoshi unleashed his latest training results! The Great Flame Burst, which he had mastered under the guidance of the Flame Emperor, was unleashed by Tan Xiaoshi with a single punch while burning fiercely!
Does the absence of a hammer mean we can't fight?
"Gu Xi~!!"

Gu Jianwo was struck by the explosive flames from the large characters, and the withered leaves on his body burst into flames in an instant.

Tooth for tooth!

Charged attack. If you attack after your opponent, the attack's power will be doubled!
This counterattack with a powerful energy blast sent Charcoal Knight flying again. The little knight, having taken two hits, was now in a state of near-death.
It was panting heavily, and after drinking another bottle of all-purpose medicine, it regained some of its life force.

But Gu Jianwo's expression changed slightly.

It has developed a burn!
Pokémon that are burned will have their attack power halved and their HP will continuously decrease!
This is bad! Gu Jianwo thought to himself.

To prevent the little knight from turning the tables, the giant snail used the Rain Dance!
Dark clouds are gathering.

The rain poured down!

The flames on the withered leaves gradually disappeared, turning into wisps of blue smoke. However, rain can extinguish the flames, but it cannot remove the burns, unless the Pokémon that has entered a status condition has the ability "Wet Body".

Status: Rainy day.

In rainy weather, the power of water-type moves increases, while the power of fire-type moves decreases.

"Gu Xi!" The rain has stopped, and the end of the world for Fire-type Pokémon has arrived.

As a Grass-type user, I can't use moves like Solar Beam or Solar Blade, but that doesn't really matter to me.

Rain can weaken the power of fire. What kind of storm can a little knight like you stir up?
Then, Gu Jianwo saw Tan Xiaoshi assume a fighting stance.

It felt a slight tightening in its heart.

You're not going to tell me that you, a complete newbie, know how to use close-combat internal energy punches or something like that, are you?
But even if I know how to use it, so what? I have the ultimate absorption.

Moreover, superpowers appeared in Gu Jianwo's eyes.

Light Wall, activated. Reduces the amount of special damage received.

Reflective barrier, activated. Reduces physical damage taken.

Growth, activation. Enhances own attack and special attack.

Take root, begin. Rooted in the earth, you regenerate health each turn.

These techniques do not require Gu Jianwo to make any movements; it simply stays in place, completing these defensive measures while Tan Xiaoshi is thinking.

Add a parasitic seed, and the fortress is complete!

However, considering that the opponent is a fire-type, even in rainy weather, the Leech Seed might be "burned," which would be troublesome.

The Pokémon Samoyed is made entirely of burning, high-temperature charcoal, so seeds simply cannot bind it.

"I see, so the boss fight has reached the second phase."

Lightmoy: "Although the Ancient Simplified Snail has many weaknesses, once the use of its moves is not restricted, the advantages of its various strange skills become apparent."

"It is precisely because it has many weaknesses that it has many skills to reduce damage."

Guangtai, seeing Gu Jianwo's strengthening, decided it wasn't out of the question that he couldn't take this opportunity to join the fray.

However, Tanjiro needed to take medicine and his stamina was already depleted. The little Sun Knight was completely restricted in the rain, which showed that rainy days were superior to snowy days.

Weather is always the answer in the current version and will never be phased out.

Of course, it turned into a rainy day.

Guangmo opened the commemorative sphere and released the gluttonous aluminum-steel bridge dragon.

Oh! It's raining!

Seeing that Tan Xiaoshi was at a disadvantage, Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon understood immediately.

Last time, it was the Flamethrower that provided Samurai with sunlight. It was the support of the terrain that allowed the power of the flames to surge. Riolu used a tutorial, which increased Samurai's attack and enabled it to learn ArcheBob. After that, it was only through Samurai's all-out effort that they were able to defeat ArcheBob.

Then let me help you this time!

Although everyone was planning to make a move, it's raining right now!
I, Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon, know exactly what the trainer is thinking!

"Click?"

Tan Xiaoshi looked at his companion.

It certainly wants to defeat these powerful enemies on its own, but without the help of its partners, even if it tries its best, it may not be able to win.

I must continue to train, growing stronger with each battle, defeat, and victory, until I become a true Sun Knight!
“Guhou!”

The aluminum-steel bridge thump patted its chest confidently!
Leave today's support to me!
I'll help you unleash that most powerful attack. Even though Grass-type Pokémon are resistant to Electric-type moves, this attack will still take a lot of damage!
Come to think of it, this move has never actually been launched yet!
"Iron Warrior, you should help too."

[Understood! Electrical site, proceed!]
Iron Warrior's pixelated eyes flickered, and she stepped forward, slashing her light blade downwards!
Intense lightning enveloped the entire muddy land, causing sparks to fly underfoot!
Transforms into an Electric Terrain for 5 turns. Ground-based Pokémon will be unable to fall asleep. Electric-type moves will also have their power increased by 30%!

However, the Iron Warrior's electrical energy is driven by future technology. Guangtai thought that if he encountered Millerton in the future, he could analyze the opponent's hadron engine, and by the way, maybe adjust the electric field bonus back to 50% of the eighth generation!

"Aluminum-steel bridge dragon." Guangtai looked at the steel dragon: "Use the electric beam!"

“Guhou!”

At Guangtai's command, the aluminum-steel bridge dragon suddenly dropped to the ground, resembling a miniature version of the Sky Arrow Bridge!
Intense bolts of lightning converged violently from all directions, crackling and gathering on the back of the aluminum-steel bridge dragon. The lightning bolts changed from gold to blue, resembling a steel net supporting the bridge!

"[The aluminum-steel bridge] has absorbed electricity!"

"[Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon]'s Special Attack has been increased!"

The Pokémon using the Electric Beam charges up on the first turn, raising the user's Special Attack by one stage. On the second turn, it unleashes the move, firing high-voltage electricity to attack the opponent!

When it is raining, you can immediately stop charging!
The basic power of the electric beam is as high as 130!

A golden, glittering gem even appeared inside the mouth of the aluminum-steel bridge dragon!

Electric Gem! Increases the power of this attack by 30% when using an Electric-type move!
“Guhou!”

We pick up things everywhere every day, and this electric gemstone is something we can use anytime!

Intense blue lightning coalesced into a cyan-blue ball of concentrated high-voltage electricity, which was then fired out like a cannon!
Instant-fire cannon in the rain!

A Certain Scientific Railgun!

The heavy rain seemed to be dispersed in an instant, and the intense electricity formed a shock wave that shook and scorched the surrounding soil. Gu Jianwo, who had been half-closed and indifferent, opened his eyes wide at this moment as he watched the fierce lightning rushing towards him!

Uh... You have some nerve, knowing I have twice the electrical resistance, you still dared to fire that shot.
Holy crap! What kind of power is that?!
The withered leaves all over his body were about to be burned by the high-voltage current. The intense heat and electricity penetrated through his body, and even charred the wooden tablet on his back!
Hey, that's my real body! Who said Grass-type is resistant to Electric?! And I've already set up a screen, the power is just too amazing!
"Gu, Gu Xi?!"

The withered leaves of the ancient snail trembled as it was blasted away by a cannonball, and it struggled to its feet again from the mud.

"Wow! A very powerful move! And the blue electricity is somewhat similar to the intersecting lightning. You might be able to learn Zekrom's moves."

Emperor Yan praised from behind, saying that the power of the electric beam this time was quite astonishing! Even Gu Jianwo, which had twice the resistance to electricity, was almost crippled by a single blow!
That giant snail was really tough; it withstood such a powerful attack and was still thinking about fighting. If it were Leopard, it would already be thinking about making peace.

[It's all up to you now! Good luck!]
The Iron Warrior looked at Charcoal Servant, and the little apprentice knight immediately stood at attention!
Yes, Paladin Sister!
