Chapter 147 Suppressing Xia Chi? And whose subordinate is Chi Hong? (4k)

It's a mosquito coil swimmer!
Xia Chi frowned as he looked at the first Pokémon sent out by Crimson.

He certainly knew of this spirit's existence; it was the crimson starter spirit in the special episode, and he had a deep bond with it.

When it was a mosquito tadpole, it evolved into Mosquito Coil in an attempt to save Red from drowning.

Later, during the investigation of the Saint-Tiannu incident, it evolved into Mosquito Swimmer in a critical moment and once again saved Crimson from being thrown into the sea.

It can be said that its bond with Crimson is second only to Pikachu's.

However, none of these are the most crucial points.

It can learn a somewhat obscure but incredibly powerful technique: Black Mist.

Ice-type status moves that either raise or lower the stats of all Pokémon on the field, reducing them to their original values!
Xia Chi wasn't sure if she could reduce the ability boosts brought by system bonds.

But since the Dream Demon's [Support Power] can benefit from the system's bond boost, there's no reason why [Black Mist] can't be reduced.

Xia Chi was certain that Chi Hong had this purpose in mind when he sent Mosquito Coil Swimmer to the starting lineup!
Tsk, this is getting a bit troublesome.
Before the battle even officially began, Xia Chi already felt the pressure emanating from the "fighter".

"Mosquito coil, charge in, close combat!"

"Tie up the rocks nearby, seed machine gun!"

Two orders were transmitted to the battlefield one after the other.

The mosquito coil swimmer's powerful legs suddenly pushed off the ground, instantly unleashing an astonishing speed that didn't match his muscular physique!

Like a blue bomb launched from a gun, Mosquito Coil Swimmer charged straight at Tire Cat with a heart-stopping momentum.

Tire Cat calmly shot flower stems and vines at a rock next to her.

At the same time, grass-type energy shone from its slightly open mouth!

With a buzzing sound, countless emerald green light spots shot out of Tire Cat's mouth at lightning speed.

Regardless of whether you need to use [Black Mist] after Mosquito Coil Swimmer, you should at least stack [Titan's Resolve] first!
Puff puff--

Like a sudden downpour hitting banana leaves, the first wave of seed machine gun fire accurately struck the rapidly advancing mosquito coil swimmer, producing a dull and continuous impact sound.

However, despite being an exceptionally effective Grass-type move, its actual damage is not particularly high due to the deliberate pursuit of high attack speed.

Each energy seed can only bring a slight stinging sensation and impact to the mosquito coil swimmer, and cannot stop its unstoppable momentum at all!

"Mosquito coils, smash rocks!"

Crimson gave the order in a deep voice!

Mosquito Coil Swimmer blocked the seed machine gun aimed at his eye with his left hand, and then unleashed a powerful punch with his right fist, which was swirling with intense Fighting-type energy!

boom--

The thick rock, more than a person tall, shattered with a crash. Tire Cat, who was swinging on the rock using vines, narrowed her eyes and flew out as if she had lost control of her body!
Mosquito Coil Swimmer stomped his foot and shot like an arrow toward the direction where Tire Cat had lost control and flown out.

The intense fighting energy emanating from his right fist, which had just shattered a boulder, showed no signs of diminishing; instead, it spread along his arm throughout his entire body!
Close combat!
Xia Chi immediately shouted, "Shadow Claw!"

Although an uncontrolled body is unlikely to be able to retaliate with Shadow Claws, that doesn't matter.

As long as the ghost attribute energy flows, this terrifying close-quarters combat attack will not cause any damage!
------

The energy flowed within Tire Cat's body as she flew upside down in the air.

Before the Mosquito Coil Swimmer's surprise attack could arrive, the purplish-black Nether Claw instantly formed in his palm!
The next instant, the Poliwag Swimmer, whose body seemed to be covered in a layer of illusory armor by fighting-type energy, suddenly flew over and pressed down!

boom--

The terrifying impact slammed several huge cracks into the ground beneath Tire Cat's landing point!

Tire Cat swung her claws back with her Nether Claw, leaving a claw mark on the Mosquito Swimmer's muscular back.

"Freeze punch!"

The crimson attack was swift and fierce. Before the mosquito coil swimmer could even regain his footing, the next command was immediately issued.

A chilling aura filled the air as the Mosquito Coil Swimmer's short, thick, yet incredibly agile thighs compressed to their limit like springs before leaping high into the air.

On his right fist, deep blue frost energy reflected a diamond-like, crystal-clear luster in the sunlight.

"Shift gears!"

Xia Chi still used her enhanced move.

It's not just because the Steel type can resist this Ice-type move; the deeper consideration is...

If the Mosquito Coil Swimmer wants to use [Black Mist], he only used [Shift Gear] once.

A one-for-one exchange of moves doesn't necessarily mean losing tempo.

Just before the Mosquito Coil Swimmer's punch, imbued with freezing power, landed, a metallic sheen appeared on Tire Meow's emerald green fur, and its attribute changed to Steel.

boom--

The sound was like a heavy punch hitting a steel frame. Tire Cat was knocked back several meters by this powerful, freezing straight punch before she could stop.

Fortunately, Meowbi's stamina is still in good condition.

[Titan's Resolve] was already fully stacked immediately after using the Seed Machine Gun, providing a 50% physical defense bonus plus resistance to steel.

The damage from that freezing punch isn't too bad.

After the [gear shift] was activated, Xia Chi shouted in a deep voice, "Playing around!"

Tire Cat, using her hind legs to stop her backward movement, sprang up and nimbly pounced on Mosquito Swimmer as if she had no weight!

A bewitching pink energy enveloped her entire body as Tire Cat charged towards the Mosquito Coil Swimmer and launched a lightning-fast combo!
The pinkish-purple energy claw shadows, like falling cherry blossoms, slashed at the Mosquito Coil Swimmer like a sudden storm.

clap clap-

The dense and crisp sounds of the blows rang out continuously, and the mosquito coil swimmer's entire muscular body was covered by this relentless playful attack.

Crimson shouted, "Respond with Poison Strike!"

A glint of light flashed in Xia Chi's eyes.

It was indeed a poison attack!
There are many attributes that can counter the Mosquito Coil Swimmer, but Xia Chi chose the Fairy attribute [Playful].

It's not just because of its high damage; more importantly, the only types that can counter Fairy-type are Steel and Poison!

Poliwag doesn't know any Steel-type moves, so it must be Poison Jab!

As soon as the crimson command was given, the Mosquito Coil Swimmer's right arm was instantly enveloped in a viscous, deep purple light!
The toxic energy, emanating a strong corrosive aura, is chilling.

Just as the Mosquito Swimmer was conjuring [Poison Strike], twisting his waist, and preparing to unleash this punch.

Xia Chi immediately shouted, "Shift gears!"

This is not just about shifting gears, it's also about holding on!
Tire Cat's swift claw attack stopped instantly, and steel-attribute energy once again covered her entire body.

At the same time, the mosquito coil swimmer unleashed a powerful punch!
bang——

A punch, accompanied by a pungent, foul wind and shrouded in deep purple poisonous light, slammed heavily into Tire Cat.

With a dull thud, the latter, now covered in a layer of silvery-white metallic sheen, was completely unharmed!

With the boost from [Shift] and the increased speed of skill execution, Tire Cat was able to complete the attribute conversion before Poison Strike!
"provocative!"

Having received two layers of [gear shift] buff, Xia Chi quickly had Tire Cat use Taunt.

It would be a real shame if this were to be cleared away by the [black mist].

No matter how long it lasts, I'll use it first!

"Close combat!" Crimson seemed to have no intention of using [Black Mist] at all, and issued the attack command without the slightest hesitation.

This strange reaction made Xia Chi frown.

Does his mosquito coil swimmer not know how to use [black fog] at all?

If that's the case, then things will be much easier later on.

But Xia Chi had a strange intuition that Chi Hong was brewing something big.

After all, it's crimson!
------

The provocative energy fluctuation was released instantly, and the strange fluctuation with some kind of mental interference ability prevented the Mosquito Coil Swimmer from using any transformation moves.

But it never intended to use these fancy things.

The mosquito coil swimmer's muscles bulged instantly, and the veins stood out like dragons under his azure skin!
A more intense crimson fighting energy surged violently, causing the rocks beneath the Mosquito Swimmer's feet to crack and shatter, before he leaped into the air!

No longer caring about defense or dodging, he unleashed a terrifying punch imbued with immense power!
The speed at which the mosquito coil swimmer broke out was even faster than Xia Chi had imagined.

But he didn't panic; instead, he shouted, "Play!"

Close combat lowers Poliwag's physical defense, while two gear shifts significantly boost Tirecat's physical attack.

With the tides turning and the gap in ability widening, Xia Chi felt it was time for a direct confrontation to determine the victor!

Mosquito Coil Swimmer landed a heavy punch on Tire Cat in close combat.

The terrifying force sent Tilley's petite body flying back only ten meters!
But it remained fearless, enduring the excruciating pain from the terrifying attack, and gracefully stabilized itself in mid-air.

After stomping heavily on the ground with its toes, it turned around and charged back!
The fairy-attribute energy, even more dazzling than before, erupted once again.

The 200% speed boost made its entire body resemble a pink meteor streaking across the low sky, rushing towards the Mosquito Swimmer!

Frolic!

bang——

Close in, Tire Cat unleashed a flurry of slashes at Mosquito Coil Swimmer with such speed that it left many afterimages!

With each claw strike, a shocking bloody scratch would appear on the Mosquito Coil Swimmer's muscular body!
"Mosquito coil, poison attack!"

Even though Xia Chi had completely suppressed the situation, Chi Hong's command voice remained cold and stern.

It was as if everything was still under his control.

This composure, so out of step with the situation, only deepened Xia Chi's confusion.

Still need to use poison?

Aren't you afraid I'll keep shifting gears?

Although Xia Chi would not do that.

100% physical attack and 200% speed are more than enough boosts.

Don't forget that Tire Meow also has Grass and Dark attributes, as well as damage bonuses and life steal from various equipment.

Even in a bloody melee where their attributes are mutually restraining, Xia Chi is not afraid at all!
"Keep it up, keep playing around!"

Tire Cat's crimson eyes gleamed with excited pinkish-purple light, and the frequency and speed of her claw strikes increased even more.

Despite the excruciating pain in his body, the mosquito coil swimmer raised his arms, which were enveloped in highly toxic energy, and unleashed a powerful punch in retaliation!
However, the difference in the level of ability improvement between the two elves is as follows.

In this bloody brawl where neither side was willing to back down, Tire Cat gradually gained the upper hand.

boom--

Another playful attack landed, and the Mosquito Coil Swimmer, whose body was already covered with terrifying marks of energy erosion, finally couldn't withstand it and flew out upside down!

Xia Chi replied without hesitation, "Let's chase after them and have some fun!"

As long as we can continue outputting for another ten seconds!

Even if Crimson has an illegal bond that can bring Mosquito Swimmer back from the dead, Mosquito Swimmer is destined to lose!
However, just as Tire Cat was giving chase...

"Self-suggestion!"

The crimson, cold voice startled Xia Chi.

It's not [black fog], it's [self-suggestion]!

Self-suggestion – a general transformation technique that uses self-suggestion to make one's abilities change to be the same as the opponent's!
At this moment, all of Crimson's previous unusual behavior became clear.

The two [Ice Punch] and [Poison Strike] attacks by Mosquito Coil Swimmer were precisely to trigger Tirette's use of [Shift] to switch to a Steel-type attack with double resistance, or even immunity.

When Xia Chi immediately followed up with a [Provocation] after that [gear shift], Crimson did not reveal his intentions.

This was also to lower Xia Chi's guard, making him believe that the mosquito coil swimmer wouldn't actually [black fog]!

Just as Xia Chi had completely given up on the idea of ​​[provocative], at this moment...

Like the crimson gleam of a patient hunter, the true nature of the dagger is finally revealed!

hum-

Accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, a strange energy flowed through the body of the mosquito coil swimmer who was suspended upside down and flew out.

Then, on its already scarred body surface, it transformed into a dazzling golden light!

That's a sign of improved ability!
Xia Chixin's heart sank. It was one thing that Tire Cat's two layers of [gear shift] were stolen, but another.

However, if the physical attack and physical defense boosts from the [Grass Bond] are stolen...
They've raised monsters!

Xia Chi felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Even if Tire Cat's ability enhancement is removed, it's still better than having it stolen by Mosquito Swimmer!
But since things have come to this point, and Tire Cat doesn't know [Black Mist], she can only continue fighting in this state.

------

"My God, it's self-suggestion!"

In the studio, the host exclaimed in surprise, "With this move, Red completely erased the difference in stat boosts between the two Pokémon!"

Ye Ci's expression was also quite surprised, or rather, delighted.

"I originally thought that the purpose of launching the first Poliwag Swimmer was to use [Black Mist], after all, Xia Chi's Pokémon are strong in 'gaining ability through strange means during battle', which has already been researched."

"In reality, due to the time spent in training, Tirion and Misdreavus are at a disadvantage in terms of their own strength compared to the other contestants' Pokémon."

Ye Ci looked at the close-up shot of Chi Hong on the screen and praised, "Chi Hong waged such a psychological battle, deceiving all the viewers, including me and his opponent Xia Chi."

"The only problem is."

Ye Ci pondered for a moment and said, "The Mosquito Coil Warrior's current condition is not very optimistic."

[Holy crap, after watching the first half, I thought it was another classic crushing victory in jail, but there was a twist!]

[How could he tactically suppress Xia Chi? And who is this Chi Hong's subordinate?!]

[He's from Kanto, also from Pallet Town, and a childhood friend of Blue. He's been training away from home, so he's not very well-known. But someone Professor Oak values ​​so highly is no ordinary person!]

Could it be that the wicked prison water is finally coming to an end?

[Don't worry, the script hasn't changed—Xia Chi gets off to a bad start, Xia Chi makes a series of blunders, Xia Chi is caught in a fierce battle, Xia Chi makes a desperate struggle, Xia Chi's entire operation collapses, Xia Chi's defeat is inevitable, Xia Chi delivers his victory speech!]
