Chapter 29: The Coiling and Relay Hypnotic Technique – Take This! (Please Read On!)

In the rain, the scoop shuttle, which is known for its agility, becomes incredibly fast.

Even with a tailwind, the earth dragon's joints would have no chance of escaping the water's fissure.

Of course, Xia Chi never intended to hide.

The purpose of this tailwind is simply to allow the slow-moving Earth Dragon to use its key moves at a faster speed.

"Earth Dragon Joints, use Coil!"

Coil, when used, can increase the Pokémon's attack, defense, and accuracy.

Strengthen the baton relay team's plan B!

No, it's more like, the Power Bank Earth Dragon Bracelet specially prepared for Psyduck, activated!

The water flow broke through and hit the target first.

Water-type moves get a 1.5x boost in rain, Water-type moves get a 1.5x boost, and Swords Dance gets a 100% attack power boost.

Without a restraint relationship, a fragile elf might just headbutt it and be gone.

In other words, it doesn't stand out in any particular way, but its amazingly robust vitality allows it to withstand pressure and even manage to withstand it with ease.

Seeing that the Earth Dragon's health was only slightly more than half remaining, Xia Chi frowned again.

Hiss. Can this ambiguous bloodline hold up?

But there's nothing we can do now; neither taking over directly nor using Yuqi can win the game, so we can only keep gambling.

"The earthen dragon continues to coil and twist!"

Before the second coiling, as expected, the water burst forth again, and this powerful kick nearly ripped the threads off the small wings on the earth dragon's body.

Fortunately, after coiling up once, the Earth Dragon's physical defense improved, and the damage it received was significantly reduced, with its health hovering at less than one-third.

Xia, who had been on edge ever since Hudoujiansuo appeared, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once you've weathered that crucial initial storm, things will be much easier from here on out.

"The earthen dragon leaps and roosts!"

The third burst of water arrived as expected, but the Earth Dragon seemed to have activated a cheat code, managing to survive even when its entire health bar was empty, recovering to one-third of its original health.

Because of the overall increase in health, Yuqi, who could recover half of her health in the previous game, can only recover one-third in this game.

But it's more than enough.

All Xia Chi needs to do next is to follow the formulaic battle strategy.

When it runs out of blood, it takes a roost; when it recovers, it coils up like an earth dragon and does sit-ups right inside the coffin.

It always seems like the scoop is just a hair's breadth away from taking it down, but it just won't fall.

As the Earth Dragon's physical defense increases with each layer of its coiled form, the yellow rascal's health seems to be increasing with each hit.

This explosive scene undoubtedly sparked a lively discussion in the live chat.

"Put on the thickest armor, and you'll take the worst beating!"

"A tribute to the legendary, durable king, Tu Long Jie Jie!"

"Hilarious! Is the Hudoujian Shuttle just here to rack up damage? When we're done fighting, I'll go outside and see, oh my, I dealt so much damage, I'm the MVP!"

"The value of the theory of alienation of sacrifice is still increasing."

"What's the use of the Earth Dragon if it doesn't have a single attack skill? Do you see the Hudoujianshuo even paying attention to you? I'm waiting for the taunt to end, what are you waiting for?"

Galer region, Waterboat town, Waterboat arena.

As one comment said, Lulina was very calm at this moment.

The situation before her was far from hopeless; in fact, she felt she had maintained complete control of the situation from beginning to end. As soon as the taunted state of the Hudoujian Shuttle ended, Lulina ordered it to cease its attack and instead used Sword Dance to enhance its power.

Her idea was simple: when both sides' offensive and defensive capabilities reached their peak, she would definitely have the advantage.

Not only is the Hudou Point Shuttle faster and more agile, but [Water Flow Crack] also has a chance to inflict a negative status effect that reduces defense.

Once this effect is triggered, the Earth Dragon Ridge is no longer an insurmountable target.

And no matter who the opponent's last Pokémon is, it can't withstand the attack power of the Hurricane, which has reached 16,000 points!
The Earth Dragon's physical attack and defense need to be maximized six times, while the Hudou Sharp Shuttle only needs three sword dances to maximize its attack. If you exclude the first one after the start, it only needs two.

These two sword dances were the last darkness before dawn.

Lulina stared intently at the screen, knowing there was still some time before the rain stopped.

She was confident that she had enough reflexes to control the nimble, easily maneuvering the guillotine and dodge any attacks from her opponents.

However, the anticipated attack did not occur.

On the contrary, a flash of red light appeared, and the earth dragons on the battlefield disappeared one by one.

It's been taken back?

Lulina was somewhat taken aback.

Are we just going to give up on all those times we've coiled up and strengthened ourselves?
No, it's a baton relay!

Although this move is so obscure that it almost never appears in real-world combat—you painstakingly raise a powerful character, only to have it instantly defeated by clearing the fog.

But even an experienced trainer like Lulina remembered its existence.

Who should Garchomp take over the quadruple coiled state from?

Lulina remained calm.

In rainy conditions, the Hudoujian Shuttle has an absolute speed advantage, and I have the Frozen Fang equipped.

As we all know, besides Fairy type, Ice type is the biggest natural enemy of Dragon type, especially against Dragon type Pokémon with Ground or Flying type, it is four times more effective!
Earth dragon?

If they dare to invade, they will never return!
Lulina thought to herself, having already made the Hudoujian Shuttle complete its second sword dance.

However, the Pokémon that took over from the Earth Dragon was not the Garchomp that was expected, but Psyduck!
Looking at the yellow duck holding its head with its little arms, looking dazed and silly, Lulina was almost dumbfounded too.

Psyduck? What is Psyduck used for?

You should evolve a bit more before you come back!

Lulina was initially worried that Garchomp would withstand the Ice Fang and then turn the tables on Boulder to achieve a 1v3 victory, but she immediately relaxed her tense nerves after seeing Psyduck.

With Psyduck's attack and defense capabilities, let alone four layers, it could easily coil up to forty layers.
Well, the forty-story building can still save it.

Ignoring unrealistic scenarios, Lulina commanded, "Hoop-twisting Spinner, finish it off in close combat!"

But what she didn't notice was.

Just then, a strange Psychic-type light emanated from Psyduck's dull, lifeless eyes.

Hypnosis, hit!

Lulina froze instantly.

------

"Class, here's a point of knowledge: In the rain, the speed of a Psyduck with the same ability, Swift Swim, is about twice that of a regular Psyduck. But what if Psyduck is in a Tailwind state?"

After successfully hypnotizing her, Xia Chi chuckled and said, "But what if I said that my coiling up wasn't to increase physical attack or defense, but to increase the hit rate of the hypnosis spell, which originally had a success rate of about 50%, to 100%?"

That's pure nonsense. Without increasing physical attack, are you really going to rely on hypnosis to put your opponent to sleep and die?

However, people don't think when they're showing off. If not now, when?

Xia Chi flashed a wise and valiant smile: "Close the net! Psyduck, use Zen Master!"
