Chapter 67 How can we lose when the dragon is charging in head-on? (4k views, please continue reading!)

After dodging the Aerodactyl's attack, the Speed ​​Boost ability has been triggered.

The ancient giant dragonfly successfully outpaced its opponent, finishing off the fossil pterosaur with a single burst of primal power.

This move has a chance to trigger the Pokémon's Ancient Power after hitting the opponent, resulting in a boost to all its stats, but the probability is low, so it did not trigger.

Qingyu didn't care, after all, it was just a chance to try her luck.

Why is it that the ancient giant dragonfly only knows this one Rock-type move, and it's even a condition for its evolution?
Now, another rather awkward problem is looming ahead—

Although it also has the same acceleration as the Centipede King, the dragonfly doesn't have tentacles, which means...

It won't take over!
If Qingyu had known that the opponent was a dodo, he would have replaced it with a desert dragonfly.

At least this earth dragon can learn Stone Strike and Dragon Dance, and might even have some additional devastating effect on its opponent.

A-Du is most likely unaware of the Ancient Giant Dragonfly's skill pool.

So, to be on the safe side, he chose to send out his ace to quickly eliminate the opponent.

A flash of red light appeared, and a kind-looking dragon with a round belly appeared on the field. Its small wings flapped from time to time, making it look rather cute and not threatening at all.

[It's here! It's the Dodo's ace, Dragonite!]

Dragonite, a late bloomer among Pokémon, possesses formidable strength.

Its population is extremely rare in Kanto, and it was once considered a rare mythical Pokémon.

To this, Qingyu can only say...

The prototype of the four regions of the four islands of Japan is still too barren. When you have time, please invite Mr. Awatari to come to Padiya and broaden your horizons.

The dwarf dragons in Lake Daguo have become an infestation!

Back to the battle.

As soon as Dragonite entered the fray, it lifted a huge rock, and Qingyu immediately gave the same command:

"Stone Attack / Primal Power!"

Both sides spoke at the same time, and the two Pokémon did not hold back, each unleashing their own moves.

Struck by the sharp stone, the Ancient Giant Dragonfly's health bar was instantly emptied and it was retrieved by Qingyu.

Dragonite, on the other hand, only suffered a minor scratch, with some of its numerous scales falling off, which shielded it from most of the impact.

It seems like a loss, and in fact, it really is a loss.

However, the unexpected appearance of the ancient giant dragonfly was not in Qingyu's plan, and it was not crucial to this battle.

The four-fold weakness to Rock is really too damaging. Almost everyone on Lance's side has the ability to one-shot it. Being able to break through Dragonite's Multiscale is already considered to have had some effect...

A tiny, flickering speaker in the back row came up and immediately gave it away for free;
Hercules's flight ability is four times weaker than Adolf's, which is equivalent to having one less person in front of Adolf's large squadron.

Scizor is four times weak to fire, and has little chance of being used against Dragonite, which has a very wide range of moves.

We just lost an Ancient Giant Flygon, and there are still three Pokémon in the back row that can't be used. The current situation is hopeless.

Given such a disadvantage, Qingyu's options are really limited.

If only there were a Scorpion King who could cast Invisible Rock, he wouldn't be in such a predicament...

But it is precisely in such a challenging situation that Qingyu finds the most interesting part of Pokémon battles!
Qingyu felt that her mind was incredibly clear at that moment.

He now has only one possibility to beat Adu, and that is—

"Turn the tide, Dragon King Scorpion!"

The moment the Dragon King Scorpion appeared, A-Du reacted immediately and also saw through his opponent's little scheme.

"Dragonite, earthquake."

This Pokémon is indeed quite deceptive; many people mistake it for a Bug Pokémon, but it is actually a Poison/Dark type combination...

Therefore, it only has one weakness: ground-based attributes.

Dragonite's near-perfect coverage allowed it to easily defeat this overconfident bug and maintain its dominance over its opponent.

"YA★DA★ZE!"

Hearing Adu's command, Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly gave the next command.

"Dragon King Scorpion, Frozen Fang!"

As Dragonite's power penetrated the ground, the earth quickly began to tremble, and surging energy launched indiscriminate attacks in all directions.

Just then, the Dragon King Scorpion revealed a resolute look in its eyes.

It leaped into the air, directly towards the low-flying Dragonite, its sharp teeth still covered with some ice crystals.

Ice Fang isn't very powerful, but it's a noble Ice-type move.

Dragonite, representing the Flying Dragon family, is one of the victims of the four-fold weakness to Ice.

This is a huge gamble; I bet you'll fire first!
Without the protection of its multiple scales, the moment Dracovish's sharp teeth touched Dragonite, its pent-up frost power erupted instantly, and its health bar began to drop at a visible rate, until—

Completely clear it.

One hit kill!

Dragonite's body plummeted rapidly, but the aftershocks of the earthquake had not yet subsided.

A one-for-one exchange would be acceptable...

The other Dragonite is enough to take out all the opponent's remaining Pokémon.

Just as Adu was thinking this, he suddenly noticed the prop wrapped around the Dragon King Scorpion's tail.

Then, his eyes widened instantly.

The striking red balloon defied the laws of physics, stabilizing the Dragon Scorpion's downward trajectory and suspending it low in the air, thus avoiding a potentially fatal impact.

Once the earth calmed its rage, the Dragon King Scorpion slowly landed, still standing firmly on the ground!
[Huh? Balloon Gripen? That seems reasonable; using its Levitate ability makes it practically defenseless...]

[Damn, this is getting exciting! General Dragon King Scorpion slays that mere Dragonite with a single strike!]

【Could it be that?】

The fossil pterosaur and the dragonite fell one after another, bringing the score to 2:1.

As the comments on the screen said, judging from the score alone, Qingyu clearly had a slight advantage.

But at this point, it's too early to say who will win or lose.

As Lance recalled the Dragonite that had fallen to the ground, Aoba also recalled Dracovish at the same time.

From the moment he annihilated the ancient giant dragonfly, he had already accurately predicted the entire course of events that would follow.

Before the counterattack arrives, the items carried by this Dragon Scorpion are crucial.

Even though the balloon has been exposed, it can still help it avoid the fatal weakness of ground attributes before it is impacted and shattered, so he wants to save this trump card for the moment that kills the game.

Although not physically present, the Dragon King Scorpion's intimidating presence was already evident.

As long as it remains healthy, Lance's next Dragonite will not be able to easily compete, otherwise, if it loses multiple scales, it will inevitably repeat the same mistake.

Qingyu sent out Centipede King again, but it was countered and intimidated by Adu's Gyarados.

For a Baton Pass team that consists mostly of physical attackers, the Intimidate ability can be quite troublesome to disrupt.

Heaven knows he originally just took the job from Zhu Lan, thinking he'd play a relay team game to casually crush some random players and show off his ideas.

Now it's me who's sweating buckets...

Why was I matched with this person in the first place?
While inwardly cursing the bizarre matchmaking system, Qingyu pondered his next move.

At this point, the safest approach is to continue trying to gain momentum by using speed boosts.

Being reliable means not making mistakes.

However, at the same time, the opportunity to break out of the predicament will naturally be lost.

Especially since he has already commanded in this way twice, a trainer of Mr. Adu's level will definitely grasp his own habits.

and so……

At a point like this, how can you win without being greedy!
"Centipede King, Sword Dance!"

"Gyarados, Dragon Dance".

Both sides spoke at almost the same time, and the instructions they gave were almost identical.

[It's here! It's Mr. Awa's signature enhancement move, Dragon's Descent!]

[Teacher Yu, was this also part of your calculations?]

[With both sides focusing on strengthening their systems, it seems like the streamer's side is making a little more money!]

Seeing Gyarados tumbling and dancing in the air, Qingyu knew he had made the right bet once again.

A-Du noticed his habit, so instead of attacking the Centipede King which was likely to use Guard, he chose to strengthen himself just like him!
But this time, my level is higher than yours! Both are enhancement skills, but Sword Dance greatly enhances attack, while Dragon Dance enhances both attack and speed. Generally speaking, Dragon Dance is more useful.

However, while the Swords Dance was enhanced, Centipede King's Speed ​​Boost ability was also quietly triggered.

After a brief period of maneuvering, the effects of the intimidation had been neutralized, and both sides were back on equal footing.

"Was that also taken into account...?"

On the other side, A-Du frowned inadvertently.

He could sense that his opponent had anticipated his next move more than once during the battle.

Even with a huge gap in team strength, they managed to put up a good fight.

First, we can absolutely rule out the possibility that he is an elite trainer who knows him very well, so there is only one answer left—

Is this person's leadership ability superior to mine?
Upon considering this possible outcome, A-Du couldn't help but look astonished.

He's not really good at one-on-one rhythm, but that's only relative to his level in unconventional matches.

Moreover, being able to suppress one's own commands also means...

The opponent is at least a Champion-level trainer?
"interesting!"

A-Du's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

In that case, he's going to go all out from here!
"Gyarados, Stone Edge!"

"Centipede King, hold on!"

"Sharp stone attack!"

"Iron wall!"

"Sharp stone attack!"

"Hold on!"

Adu suddenly exerted his strength and launched several fierce attacks, all of which were blocked by Qingyu.

The good news is that after several rounds of delay, Centipede King's Speed ​​Boost ability is almost fully stacked, and Iron Wall has greatly enhanced its defensive capabilities.

However, under Gyarados's relentless bombardment, Centipede's stamina was already at a dangerous level, and it was time to take over and replace it.

Qingyu could vaguely sense that this was something Adu had done on purpose.

Since Centipede King is an important starting point for his strengthening, he definitely cannot trade with this Gyarados, so he will only become more passive.

In his opinion, these gym owners and superstars all seemed to have a bit of a protagonist's aura.

In reality, you can compensate with skill, but in the game, you can hit 80% accuracy with a single sharp stone attack and actually not miss once...

Whether it's open or not, you know the truth in your heart!

But at the moment he really didn't have a better way to handle it, so he could only take over the command and let the centipede king leave the field for the time being.

When facing Gyarados, Qingyu chose Scizor.

Although it doesn't have a counter effect, it can at least withstand Gyarados's attacks, and as a middleman, it also has the Feather Roost ability, which is essentially a no-side-effect survival skill.

"Gyarados, go all out!"

Seeing that Qingyu indeed took over with Scizor, Adu immediately gave instructions.

Going all out with a fire-type physical attack. If the previous attack missed, this one will carry an even stronger momentum, doubling its power.

That's right, Gyarados can learn Fire-type moves.

For Scizor, this move is deadly enough!
"I knew it……"

Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief; at least this move was within his expectations.

Anyone with a little knowledge knows that Scizor is four times weak to fire, and Gyarados's willingness to go all out is also within his consideration.

The reason he dared to insist on playing was not only because there was no one else available, but also because...

Sufficient confidence in Scizor's durability.

With Iron Wall, even a Fire-type move would have almost no chance of instantly defeating Gyarados, given its power and attack style!

"Mantis, Twin Wings!"

Thanks to the speed boost from the baton, Scizor struck first, its Iron Wings hitting Gyarados's vital spot and instantly knocking out more than half of its health.

The Gyarados, wreathed in flames, lashed out with its tail, launching a desperate counterattack.

Flames slapped against the Scizor's crimson carapace, and its health bar visibly began to tremble.

After reaching the dangerous red health level, it suddenly stopped advancing.

Even after the Scizor took out a berry and swallowed it whole, it slowly recovered about a quarter of its strength.

The second wing attack came in quick succession, and this time Gyarados had no chance to fight back and was immediately knocked unconscious on the ground.

[I know the answer to this question. The power of the Technician's dual wings is equal to that of Brave Bird's Assault!]

Holy crap, is it really going to flip?

[It's still quite difficult. Don't just look at the score. Yu-sensei's Pokémon aren't in good health. If Lance can withstand the pressure, he might still lose...]

[But to be able to fight the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto to this extent, Teacher Yu's strength is already terrifying!]

Although the continuous barrage of commands was no longer enough to keep up with, the general situation was still discernible.

Both sides have already entered the endgame stage, and now it's up to them to see who can grit their teeth and hold on!
"It didn't kill him instantly...?"

Adu was somewhat taken aback, but quickly calmed down.

"But it doesn't matter, Charizard can finish off the enemy."

"The opponent's overall health has been reduced to a very low level, and there is no possibility of them starting over and strengthening themselves again."

"So, as long as I get rid of the last one who takes over, I will win."

Instead of the joy of impending victory, A-du's face became even more serious.

Because he knew that his opponent had not given up yet.

"Then let me see your resilience once again."

When Charizard enters the field, Scizor has no choice but to switch out again.

With three of Qingyu's units either severely crippled or heavily crippled, and Heracross likely being traded for, Qingyu has no choice but to field Dragon King Scorpion to inherit the buff effect.

"Dragon King Scorpion, Rock Slide!"

"Charizard, explosive flames!"

Both sides once again issued commands to fight to the death.

To Aoyu's surprise, the item that Adu's Charizard was wearing was actually a Focus Sash?!
This unusual and rare configuration played an unexpected role at this moment, causing them to pay a heavy price.

The Charizard, having withstood the rockfall, retaliated with a vicious bite, the explosive flames from its mouth instantly engulfing the Gyrocopter.

The team's pillar of strength, the eldest brother, collapsed from exhaustion on the spot.

That concludes all the planning for the relay tactics.

Left with no other option, Qingyu had to send out Scizor again to finish the fight with Bullet Punch.

The score quickly reached 4-2.

At first glance, it seems like we have a huge advantage, but in reality...

His team had three low-health members, and their only remaining fighter, Heracross, was being completely dominated by Dragonite.

On Lance's side, Kingdra and Dragonite are both in good health and have the ability to sweep through enemy teams.

The team has almost no means to deal with Dragonite.

The enemy has already swarmed us with Mutalisks, how can we possibly lose?

It’s hard to say.

Of all the possible outcomes, the way you win might be the only one...

Qingyu quickly realized this and revealed a confident smile.

But there is also good news.

He seems to know how to win!

It seems like the speaker is really going to become the main focus now...

A 4k-long chapter, the match ended at 2k in the evening.

Actually, I'm Doctor Strange. I finally found a way to make a speaker work among countless timelines, it was exhausting! qwq
By the way, here's a space safety statement:
If a better solution exists during the battle, it's either because real-time battles prevent either side from focusing on finding the perfect strategy, or perhaps the speaker-wielding character has possessed the author and is secretly writing. In any case, it's definitely not because the author's brain is overloaded.
Please be aware!
P.S.: Actually, it's just that the speaker was given extra screen time for the sake of the show. Please ignore any minor, harmless bugs.
