Chapter 282 Gadriya: How can there be such a disgusting elf with Sable Eyes! (5.4k)

Come out, Boss Maga!

[Cynthia is getting increasingly cunning; even Togekiss has started using the "Look at me!" combo!]

[You know what, it's really useful. Without this "Watch Me" skill, Metagross would have been half-dead right after its Mega Evolution.]

That's right, there's a certain story behind spending a lot of time in prison.

Indeed, Qi Shu's gameplay has become much more refined and skillful.

Although it was only the first two rounds of testing the waters.

However, the tactical skills and on-the-spot responses displayed by both sides have already thrilled the viewers in the live broadcast room.

Whether it was Togekiss's crucial "Look at me!" to cover Metagross's Mega Evolution, or Xia Chi's Sableye's "One More Time" to lock down Togekiss's subsequent actions, both were full of calculation.

Even Qishu managed to operate the system despite the pressure from Cynthia and Gadria.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.

Xia Chi's Soul-Snatching Eye was reduced to a sliver of health by the second earthquake from the Mega Metagross.

Meanwhile, the Kangaskhan that replaced the Tiger God has already completed its Mega Evolution under the command of the Killer.

As the white light faded, the energetic little Kangaskhan ran out of its pouch, clenched its tiny fists, and charged towards Togekiss after its mother.

Enhanced punch!
Cynthia frowned slightly off-screen.

Admittedly, Togekiss, with its Fairy/Flying dual attributes, has four times the resistance to Fighting, so this buff punch is practically immune to it.

The problem is that if Togekiss is kept on the field, it can only use [Focus] under the lock of Sableye's [One More Time].

The choice is naturally quite simple.

"Come back, Togekiss! Come out, Lucario!"

She didn't even wait for Mega Kangaskhan's Power Punch to hit before she commanded the character in the game to send out Lucario.

This operation seems somewhat incomprehensible to ordinary people—

Togekiss has four times the resistance to melee attacks, while Lucario has two times the resistance to melee attacks.

Furthermore, the former is known for its high durability.

The two spirits suffered significantly different amounts of damage in the back-and-forth exchange.

However, Cynthia had her own reasons.

As soon as Lucario appeared, she did not hesitate to use Mega Evolution.

"Lucario, target Kangaskhan, close combat!"

Without a doubt, given the power of Mega Lucario's attack, this close-range attack, if it hits, would be far more powerful than a Power Punch from Kangaskhan.

This is also why Cynthia sends out Lucario non-stop—

It's far more important to eliminate the opponent's core damage dealers than to take a weak, ineffective buff.

This substitution and aggressive attack was clearly targeted and filled with murderous intent!
however.

Just as Lucario completed its Mega Evolution and unleashed its close-range attack, the energy barrier hummed and lit up.

After quickly unleashing this power-up punch, Kiju anticipated Cynthia's counterattack and immediately commanded Mega Kangaskhan to use Protect!

This is not over yet.

Almost simultaneously, another [Guard] barrier lit up in front of the Soul-Hooking Eye operated by Xia Chi.

Both sides held their ground and used their attacks simultaneously.

boom--

Mega Lucario slammed its fists into Kangaskhan's Protect shield.

The violent energy shockwave spread outwards, blowing away a section of the virtual lawn.

On the other side, Gadlia's Mega Metagross also unleashed its third earthquake.

The ground energy surged and erupted, but it was firmly blocked by the [Protect] ability of the Kangaskhan and Sableye, leaving only a dull roar and the energy dissipating in vain.

On the contrary, his teammate Super Lucario was caught in the ruthless earthquake, losing more than a third of its health.

Cynthia's brow furrowed even more.

They figured it out.
Qi Shu, or rather Xia Chi, had long ago accurately predicted that he would switch out Lucario for a strong counterattack.

They selected dual-point protection immediately after completing their respective operations.

Whether it's the Blazing Roaring Tiger's rapid return or the Soul-Stealing Eye's second attack, it's all part of the story.

Even if there is only one, I will keep Togekis on the field.

It could be said that the appearance of Mega Lucario was less a proactive substitution by Cynthia and more a deliberate guidance by Xia Chi.

The situation on the field is now very awkward.

Xia Chi's Soul-Snatching Eye was reduced to a mere sliver of blood after the aftershocks of the Metagross's first two Earthquakes.

Qishu's Mega Kangaskhan, with the boost from two [Boost Punch] attacks, has seen its Attack power increase to a terrifying 200%!

Focus fire on Mega Kangaskhan; leaving Sableye on the field is too dangerous.

Should we send one of our spirits to deal with Sableye?
That little bit of health is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; the damage is seriously excessive and a waste of precious output.

Should we let Metagross create another devastating earthquake?

Lucario hadn't even had a chance to shine before his teammates crippled him.
The key is.

Since it's a doubles match, this will really test Cynthia and Gadria's teamwork.

What if you have a double-pointed dead blood soul-snatching eye?
The battlefield situation changes rapidly, and there's no time to communicate with Gadria via voice chat.

Seeing that no orders were being given and it seemed they were waiting for her command, Cynthia immediately shouted, "Lucario, use melee attack on Kangaskhan!"

At the same time, Gadria's voice came through the earpiece: "Metamorphose, use Comet Punch on Kangaskhan."

The two commanders gave their commands almost simultaneously.

After an awkward silence, Gadriya said quietly, "I thought you were thinking of tearing that scumbag... cough, tearing Xia Chi's bewitching eye apart."

------

[Miss Gadriya almost blurted out her true feelings lol]

[Hahaha, so you're trying to call him a scumbag, huh? This is such a great way to make the show funny!]

【Wait, how come you two best friends don't even have the same level of chemistry as Xia Chi and Qi Shu?】

[Everyone waits for the other to make the first move, and then they move together—isn't that a unique kind of tacit understanding? (Katie's head emoji.jpg)]

Honestly, this is really dangerous now; he escaped death by drowning again.

[Focusing on Kangaskhan was the right move. Lucario and Metagross are both faster than Kangaskhan. This close-quarters battle plus Comet Punch will definitely kill Kangaskhan!]

I have a feeling that the fact that the Soul-Stealing Eye is still alive isn't a good thing.

Cynthia naturally knew that nothing good could come of the Soul Reaver being alive.

Especially the Soul-Hooking Eye controlled by Xia Chi.

Just now, it fired another [electromagnetic wave], hitting Gadria's Mega Metagross.

This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for subsequent battles.

But there was nothing they could do; the Mega Kangaskhan, Qishu, had already focused its attacks on half of the enemy, leaving no way for Qishu to turn around and attack Sableye again.

At this moment, the only way to break the deadlock is to focus fire on both sides and use the terrifying burst of [Close Combat] and [Comet Punch] to completely crush this monster Kangaskhan whose physical attack has been maximized!

Cynthia's gaze quickly swept over her Lucario's status bar—it had less than half its health remaining.

While everyone was focused on attacking Mega Kangaskhan, Qishu wasn't idle either, and he unleashed another Power Punch.

They were truly greedy, but they were also truly terrifying!
Mega Kangaskhan's attack power has increased by 200% after the two [Boost Punch] attacks!

If this monster cannot be dealt with in this round, the consequences are predictable.

Fortunately, the output is sufficient.

If both Pokémon's moves can hit Mega Kangaskhan.

This time, Cynthia and Gadriya are truly in sync.

"Lucario, use Close Combat on Kangaskhan!"

"Metroidvania, use Earthquake!"

Clearly, Gadriya had given up hope that Cynthia's Lucario would survive.

Under the "paralyzing" state of electromagnetic waves, Mega Metagross's speed was greatly reduced, and it has fallen behind Mega Kangaskhan.

With Lucario currently at low health, it absolutely cannot withstand Kangaskhan's next fatal blow.

Why not take a gamble and use [Earthquake] for an area-of-effect attack, aiming to kill two birds with one stone?

It can finish off the scabbard beast and also stomp on that annoying Sableye!
Moreover, the [Comet Fist] in the previous round triggered the additional effect of "physical attack increased by 50%".

Once the Kangaskhan is dealt with, Gadria is confident that with this Mega Metagross in top form, she can wipe out all the remaining Pokémon in one fell swoop!
The tactics are clear, and the objectives are well-defined!
However, just as the command was given and the two elves attacked one after the other, at the critical moment...

On the opposite side of the field, the Soul Reaper, now only a sliver of health remaining, made the first move—

With the [Mischievous Heart] ability, it prioritizes using status moves.

But from its single eye, which shimmered with an eerie red light, a strange and indescribable black energy ball shot out, instantly striking the charging Mega Lucario like a leech!
hum-

An invisible force of stagnation instantly enveloped Lucario, suppressing and delaying its impending close-range attack.

As a result, the Mega Kangaskhan from the Qishu became the first Pokémon to make a move, besides Sableye!

Boom——

The game's visuals depict the earth shaking violently, with raging ground energy erupting fiercely around the Kangaskhan!

The earthquake struck, and Lucario, with about half of its health remaining, and Sableye, with only a sliver of health left, both collapsed to the ground!

What's even more alarming is that a fully healed Metagross was brought to a near-death state by this Ultra Earthquake, which boosted its Attack by 200%!
A glaring line of combat log appeared at the bottom of the screen:
[Sableye used "Delay" on Mega Lucario, slowing Mega Lucario's move casting speed to its slowest setting for a short period!]

Cynthia: "." Postponed?

Is this move real?
As the champion, Cynthia naturally knew about this Dark-type status move.

But seeing my opponent use it in actual combat is absolutely unprecedented for me today.

The reason is simple: this move is too obscure.

Who would use this move in a normal 1v1 one-on-one fight?
Isn't that just a waste of a chance to make a call?
However, in doubles matches, a stage full of variables and teamwork, you really have to admit!
This extremely obscure and underworld technique, in the hands of a tactical genius like Xia Chi, actually produced a miraculous effect that turned the tide of battle.

such as now
------

with no doubt.

This crucial round of the game once again ended in a crushing defeat for Cynthia and Gadriya.

Lucario fell before it could even land a close-range attack, but Kangaskhan survived by only taking one Earthquake from Mega Metagross.

Under the devastating earthquake from Kangaskhan that boosted physical attack by 200%, it almost cleared the entire table in one go.

In other words, Metagross's durability is astonishing, and it had indeed not suffered any damage before, which is why it barely survived.

There is actually a deeper reason: the characteristics of [parental love] cannot be applied to earthquakes.

Otherwise, if the little Kangaskhan had also stepped on that earthquake, Metagross, with only a sliver of health left, would have had a very hard time surviving.

[It's over! It's all over! Time to push the Mega Kangaskhan team!]

[A Turning Point in World War II: The Failure to Deal with the Soul-Snatching Eye Sooner!]

Who would have thought that the "Seductive Eyes" technique could be so insidious, featuring a "delay" effect!

[Really? That's prison water! I'm not surprised his captivating eyes seem to share a fate with someone else.]

[Actually, it's the same with electromagnetic waves, right? Even with Lucario's speed halved, it's still not as fast as Mega Kangaskhan.]

[Brother, the game's mechanics are different. The paralysis effect of electromagnetic waves only takes effect the next time a move is used. Once the move is executed, it can't be changed. Theoretically, only "delay" could have solved this deadlock!]

Electromagnetic waves, one more time, delay... what kind of hellish setup is this?!

How could there be such a disgusting Pokémon with Sable Eyes?!

[I told you you could really learn something from Miss Cattleya's livestream!]

[Is Bro learning the dirty tricks of the prison water streamer in Gadlia's livestream? That's interesting.]

【.】

Cattleya was also quite upset at the moment.

For a powerful superhuman like her, online battles are like dancing in shackles!

Her greatest advantage, her ability to communicate with the elves and command them in real time as if they were her own arms, is completely diminished in the face of cold, impersonal network data transmission.

The instructions that were always a beat behind made her feel constrained and unable to use her skills.

"tsk"

She clicked her tongue softly, her fingertips tapping the table unconsciously.

However, Gadria knew that this was not an excuse for being utterly defeated by Xia Chi.

"Xia Chi is a real schemer."

As a lady from a prestigious family, Cattleya tried her best to hold back some of the more vulgar remarks, but she still couldn't help but make such a sarcastic comment.

Cynthia, who knew Xia Chi better, was calmer, and even had a faint smile on her lips.

"Yes, it is indeed a very imaginative and captivating eye configuration."

The two of them kept focusing on the Soul-Hooking Eye that Xia Chi was controlling.

It's not that we're deliberately ignoring the output of Qishu's Mega Kangaskhan; after all, its devastating damage is real.

The main issue is that there's not much skill involved in playing a Mega Kangaskhan that only focuses on dealing damage.

Power-Up Punch, Protect, Power-Up Punch, Earthquake. It's the kind of game that "even my grandma could play."

If it were under the old public opinion environment, there would probably be comments like, "Mega Kangaskhan dealt all the damage and got MVP! Sableye didn't deal any damage, Sableye was just a freeloader!"

However, since Xia Chi started the storm of tactical innovation, the tactical value of more Pokémon has been discovered and valued.

Therefore, in this match, it was clear to everyone that Xia Chi's Soul-Hooking Eye was the MVP who controlled the entire field.

Of course, if we can win this game smoothly.

Cynthia and Gadriya showed no sign of giving up.

It's not about the pride of a champion king; it's simply that they still have a fighting chance.

Although the situation is extremely difficult, Mega Kangaskhan's health is also low, so there is still room for maneuver.

Lucario, having lost its ability to battle, was recalled, and Togekiss reappeared.

"Tokiss, heat wind!"

"Metroid, earthquake!"

A new round of competition has begun.

The Mega Metagross, with only low health remaining, boldly used Earthquake to deal damage.

Gadria is gambling that the Tree of Life will anticipate her use of [Protect] to save her life!

In a disadvantageous situation, if you don't take a chance, there's absolutely no chance of turning the tide.

The good news is, she made the right bet.

The bad news is that even if you bet right, the outcome doesn't seem so wonderful.

After Xia Chi's Scizor completed its Mega Evolution, the fastest Mega Kangaskhan in the entire arena unsurprisingly launched the first attack.

boom--

A loud bang was heard in the game.

Togekiss was pressed close by Mega Kangaskhan, and with a single act of gratitude, it instantly wiped out its health bar!

Instant kill from full health!

Your Mega Metagross Monster has high defense and durability, so it can withstand earthquakes?
Then let me ask you!

With two buffs, a STAB boost, and the benefit of [Parental Love], Return deals over 100 damage. How can Togekiss possibly withstand that?
Immediately afterwards, Mega Kangaskhan was also taken down by Gadlia's Mega Metagross with a [Earthquake], thus completing its mission.

But the fall of one monster brings about the birth of another!
While they were locked in a life-or-death struggle, the scyther quietly completed its sword dance!

As for the earthquake used by Metagross?

It's not a type that's effective against it, and with Scizor's Steel-type physical defense and bulk, taking it down is a piece of cake.

[Holy crap, a single Return spell instantly killed a full-health Togekiss? What kind of damage output is that?!]

[The guy in the prison is really bold, so sure he can kill it instantly? If he doesn't, Togekiss's Heat Wave might actually turn the tide.]

Trust your teammates, trust in parental love!

This is just our typical parent-child love trait—so affectionate and loving! Do you guys have this kind of mindless trait too? (laughs)

[Miss Cattleya has been very lucky this time; the "paralysis" effect hasn't triggered even once.]

[I feel like our team is about to be wiped out by the Mega Mantis.]

------

At this moment, the situation seems to have returned to a 2v2 scenario.

However, the difference in their state and momentum is like heaven and earth!
On Xia Chi's side, Tiger God returned to the field and used Intimidate to unleash another wave of Mega Metagross's physical attack.

After its Swords Dance, Scizor is in high spirits, and with no Fire-type moves to counter it, it has no natural enemies.

On the other hand, consider Cynthia and Gadria.

The Mega Metagross is down to its last sliver of health and is in a "paralyzed" state.

Gadria's last artificial cell egg of an elf was in perfect condition, but it was in a rather awkward situation.

If you don't activate Trick Room, Scizor will definitely chase after you and beat you up.

Even if you activate Trick Room and switch Scizor's speed back, it won't be much faster.

Moreover, its prized psychic-type moves are completely resisted by Scizor.

Most importantly, there's a Fiery Roaring Tiger eyeing them menacingly nearby.

as predicted.

boom!
Snapped!
A crimson fist, as fast as lightning, struck precisely the tattered steel body of the Super Metagross.

Although Metagross has double resistance to Steel-type moves, its HP is simply too low.

That last sliver of health was wiped out instantly by that bullet-shaped punch!

at the same time.

The Tiger God's massive figure closed in directly, and its huge tiger paw slammed down on the artificial cell egg that had just appeared and had not yet had time to react.

[Cowardice] status triggered!
The artificial cell egg was slapped unconscious and remained frozen in place for a brief period of time.

Two consecutive, speed-ignoring, and unreasonable preemptive moves were unleashed.

There was no room for the Metagross and the artificial cell egg to operate.

The battle that followed could only be described as brutal!
The artificial cell egg, stunned by the [high five], was like a fish on a chopping board.

The Mega Mantis ruthlessly swung its pincers, also benefiting from the [Technician] trait's [Bug Bite] ability, striking twice.

With the addition of a [Loud Roar] from the Blazing Roaring Tiger, the fully-equipped artificial cell egg struggled slightly.

Then, a wave of health bars vanished, and the damage even overflowed.

The Scizor with the [Master Tech] trait has such terrifying damage output!
Thus began this online battle that brought together two of the world's top trainers and attracted countless onlookers.

The final score was 4-2, a complete rout!
