Chapter 142 Playing [Substitute Poison] in front of my King of the Underworld?

As expected, it's a Venusaur strategy focused on attrition!
Xia Chi breathed a slight sigh of relief after the preview was successful.

As mentioned before, Misdreavus fears two types of opponents the most.

It grows up and kills it with one punch, or something more powerful and durable.

There isn't a single "One-Punch Man" type of Pokémon in the main lineup of Azure.

The tough-skinned Venusaur is quite suitable for playing a modified version of "Substitute, Protect, Poison".

So his opening provocation was a gamble that paid off.

However, this is not much of an advantage.

Unlike games, once a Pokémon has four skills, it can only be played in one specific way.

In real-world combat, both change-type moves and attack-type moves are locked.

Rather, it is precisely because of this that Venusaur's offensive will be even more ferocious in the future!
Xia Chi pondered for a moment, then shouted, "Swap traits!"

------

Although their initial plans were disrupted, Qinglv remained calm.

We have many contingency plans. Since the start of the war of attrition has been interrupted, we will use overwhelming force to break through the situation!
"Bulbasaur, Sunbeam!"

Under clear skies, the charging time for the terrifyingly powerful Solar Beam is greatly reduced, coupled with the increased speed of the [Chlorophyll] ability.
"Characteristics interchanged!"

Xia Chi's instruction startled Qinglu, and then her heart sank.

The dream demon's crimson pupils suddenly lit up with a pink light, and a strange psychic energy shot out from its body.

Venusaur, which was gathering its solar beam, had nowhere to dodge and was struck hard by this strange energy wave.

Venusaur felt as if a force was being forcibly stripped from its body.

Then, the heavy body felt lighter, and its four feet moved further and further away from the rocky ground.

This gave Venusaur, who had never flown in her life, a sense of unease.

Flying might be the dream of many Pokémon, but the sudden feeling of gaining the ability to levitate is still too unfamiliar for a Venusaur.

But the focus isn't on [Float] Venusaur, but on [Chlorophyll] Misdreavus!

"Quickly, use Solar Beam!"

Green loudly reminded Venusaur, who was still adjusting to the new sensation.

The latter immediately came to his senses.

"clatter--"

The giant flower on Venusaur's body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling white light, like sunlight, and then surged forth!

A beam of blazing white light, seemingly capable of tearing apart the world, pierced through the air and reached the location of the Dream Demon.

laugh--

The violent beam of energy grazed the edge of the Dream Demon's afterimage and struck the energy barrier behind it!

The sturdy barrier shook violently, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

The dream demon glanced back with lingering fear at the charred mark where it had been hit.

Her petite body spun lightly and swiftly in the air, and when she looked back at Venusaur, a smug and provocative smile was on her face.

Luckily I dodged quickly!

Your chlorophyll works great, it's mine now!

"Floating"

Qinglu gritted his teeth. Even though he had planned a lot, he hadn't expected Xia Chi to have such a trick up his sleeve.

What is the use of this feature?

Is it used for gaseous sorbitol?
Neither Misdre nor Tirecat can use Ground-type moves.

Unless we deal with both of them, we can face Shakiras head-on.

Otherwise, this ability is completely useless to Venusaur.

However, there was some good news as well.

At least, Misdreavus is no longer immune to ground-based moves.

"Bulbasaur, earthquake!"

Xia Chi made a quick decision: "Dream Fairy, Will-O-Wisp!" Dream Fairy's attack speed was already very fast, and with the [Chlorophyll] ability, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

As the energy condensed slightly, a strange and chilling flame exuding an ominous aura flew towards Venusaur.

Ignoring the rapidly approaching blue will-o'-the-wisp, Venusaur slammed its four thick legs down onto the battlefield like siege pillars.

Although it felt a little awkward because it was slightly lifted off the ground, the [earthquake] was successfully released.

Of course, this is after the Will-o'-the-Wisp hits and the [Burning] status is applied.

Boom——

The energy of the ground system resonates with the ground beneath your feet.

Amidst the violent tremors, the ground rapidly cracked and bulged, and visible yellowish-brown shockwaves, centered on Venusaur, swept wildly in all directions in a ring-like pattern.

Having lost its [Levitate] ability, the Dreamweaver could not escape unscathed, and it showed a pained expression as it was affected by the shockwave.

Xia Chi frowned slightly. Even under the [burning] state, could it still have such terrifying power?
Haki Green, you truly are a breeder with the ability to enhance the strength of Pokémon.
"Shadow ball!"

The lost life must be made up for in some way, and the tough-skinned Venusaur is undoubtedly the best target.

The earthquake shockwave could not stop the Dream Demon from condensing a Shadow Ball.

It spread its illusory claws, and several rapidly spinning purplish-black energy balls condensed in front of it, instantly shooting out.

Since equipping the [Blue Buff], Misdreavus no longer uses Shadow Balls individually.

If other people's Pokémon see this, they'll think Xia Chi didn't raise them well and I'm out of energy!

They must fire in quick succession, one volley per person!
Qinglu seized the opportunity, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Now! Parasitic Seed!"

[Provocation] As soon as the blockade ended, the Green immediately restarted its attrition tactics!
While Misdreavus was busy firing Shadow Balls, Venusaur's huge flower on its back finally unleashed the few Energy Seeds that were still gathering power.

The seeds, radiating a vibrant green light, shot out like cannonballs.

The dreary tried to dodge, but the area covered by the several parasitic seeds was too large, and it was ultimately unable to avoid being hit.

Xia Chi, however, remained calm.

There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Just lock out status moves at the start. Are you suggesting we give Venusaur a refill after each Taunt effect ends?
Yes, but it would be a waste of time and energy.

So, you release [Taunt] every time before the opponent uses Parasitic Seed?

That's not called pre-reading, that's called X-ray vision!
Moreover, Xia Chi had already prepared for this attrition tactic.
You teach others underworld tactics, but you have no way to counter them yourself?

Just kidding, do you think I, Teacher Shuiye, am the kind of person who would let my apprentice starve to death?

------

"Dream Fairy, meditate!"

Since Qinglu has taken the initiative to slow down the pace, Xiachi has also chosen to strengthen his position.

It's like if you're playing Nasus and the enemy top laner Darius says "peaceful last hitting" in the chat, are you going to deliberately knock him over the head?
After releasing the swarm of Shadow Orbs, the Dream Demon immediately hovered, a stream of psychic energy nourishing and strengthening its spiritual core.

A faint golden light floats on the surface of the body, meditation enhancement complete!
At the same time, it is inevitable.

The parasitic seed lurking within the dream demon's body is like a persistent, insidious wound, continuously draining life energy from its body.

The direction it leads to is Venusaur!
With the first step of the tactic finally completed, Qinglu felt much more at ease.

Then it is
"Toxic!"

Energy surged forth once more from within Venusaur's enormous flower.

A mass of highly toxic pus, emitting a pungent, foul odor and shimmering with an eerie purplish-black light, was sprayed out like a high-pressure water jet.

The target is now the Nightmare!

"Continue meditating!"

I'll poison you if I want, just don't kill me outright.

Before the fish take the bait, you definitely need to give them some food.

Xia Chi felt very relaxed.

I'll show you in a minute who the real king of vampires is!
