Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 195 Lei Si’s Heart Almost Collapsed

The next step is very simple!

Li Xuan thought so, but did not give any orders.

It was a sandstorm at the moment, and the Lightning Bird's vision was greatly affected.

If you act rashly, you can easily give the advantage to your opponent.

Even though he uses a legendary Pokémon like Zapdos, he is still very careful during battles and does not become complacent because of Zapdos's identity.

After all, after spending so many days together, Li Xuan discovered that legendary Pokémon like Zapdos and Articuno are actually just a little bit tougher and thicker than regular Pokémon.

To put it bluntly, it means being able to withstand a beating.

So he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity for the Zapdos to counterattack!
Right now, it seems that Lei Si can't control his inner feelings anymore and wants to give it a try!

"Analysia!"

Lei Si looked at the Zapdos that was looming in the sandstorm. He raised his arm high, opened his clenched fist, and pointed his index finger at the sky. "Use, Stone Attack!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this move, Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, but did not let the Zapdos counterattack immediately.

Stone Attack, a Rock-type move with a different release method.

In addition to this, many Fighting-type Pokémon like to use this move by breaking out of the ground to attack Pokémon on the ground or flying at low altitude.

The visual performance is a bit similar to the Cliff Sword, and it is more used to block enemy moves.

Otherwise, judging by the way it rises from the ground, the speed is somewhat impressive...

When facing the Zapdos that was sunken in the air, Sea Slug naturally chose to condense sharp stones around it!

“Twist!”

The neck of the sea slug began to shake, and a gray-brown light enveloped its entire body. In the blink of an eye, dozens of sharp rocks of different sizes condensed!
With the "power of sand" feature, this move is much more powerful than in normal conditions!

It’s 30% higher!

The 30% power bonus is no joke, the effect has been visibly improved!

Swish swish!
Sharp rocks shot straight into the sky, and the gray-brown tracks almost merged with the yellow sand, attacking the sky at a tricky angle!

"Chiji!" (Murderous!)

Zapdos noticed something was wrong, but because its vision was obscured by the sand, it didn't know where the sharp stone attack would come from.

We can only wait for Li Xuan's command.

As expected, in this situation, one has to listen to one's own trainer.

"Zapdos, use Discharge!"

Li Xuan's command made the lightning bird's feathers tremble.

But its reaction was not slow at all. It spread its wings suddenly, and the violent electric current wrapped around its body instantly turned into a huge electric net, pressing down heavily!

Crackling!

The dazzling lightning collided with the flying sharp rocks.

The exploding electric sparks made the sandstorm flicker, and the flying gravel continued to disintegrate in the electric current, eventually turning into powder and mixing into the sandstorm!
"The power is about the same, but there's still a slight difference..."

Lei Si roughly judged the difference in strength between the two sides.

While the "Sand Power" trait empowers Stone's attacks, they're powerful enough to withstand the effects of Zapdos's electrical discharges.

This made Lei Si feel uneasy.

After all, he came here to challenge Kamiyo. It was precisely because he was unsure of his condition that he came to find Li Xuan, who also had legendary Pokémon, to act as a "meal substitute".

But judging by the current situation, it seems that I am not even strong enough to defeat Zapdos...

For a moment, Lei Si felt a little anxious. He wanted to give orders, but he also became hesitant and timid.

"Challenger, your mentality is collapsing quite quickly. Where's that initial confidence?"

Through the changes in the waves coming from Lei Si, Li Xuan could sense that the other party's emotions were changing quite quickly.

I didn't expect that the other party's heart of Taoism would collapse like this in such a short period of time.

You haven't lost yet, but you want to surrender?
"What? After seeing that your highly anticipated sharp stone attack was only as effective as the electric discharge, you don't want to fight anymore?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but say something more, feeling a bit disappointed with his friend.

Lei Si's strength ranks among the best among the challengers he has faced, and his strength is on par with Li Jia who uses the main team.

If he can continue to practice for another two or three years, he might be able to reach the level of a superstar goalkeeper.

But in this situation, Lei Si actually intended to give up?
"I……"

Lei Si opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something but couldn't, only a single syllable came out of his mouth.

He wanted to say he didn't.

But his performance at this moment made his words seem a little unconvincing.

[Is the challenger on the opposite side experiencing internal conflict? ]

[That's probably the case. Judging from his expression, he seems to be feeling powerless.]

[But this feeling of powerlessness isn't caused by the owner; it's more like a fear of the unknown. I can't put my finger on it, but it certainly seems that way.]

There are many capable people in the barrage who can see through Lei Si’s situation.

As the fight went on, I got so angry that I became angry.

"elder brother……"

Shinji, holding the grass turtle, looked at his brother, wondering what he was thinking.

"You're just frustrated that after seeing Zapdos's strength, you felt your tactics were perfect, but you couldn't match Zapdos in a duel of moves, right?"

Li Xuan's words hit the nail on the head, and he immediately grasped the reason why Lei Sidao's heart was broken.

Previously, Lei Si thought it was normal that King Scorpion could not beat Zapdos, after all, it didn't have many moves to use.

But the sea slug is different.

The sharp stone attack using the power of sand could only barely maintain its balance...

It made him feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Mr. Lei Si, you're really too obsessed with perfection. Why do you have to insist on pursuing a path that won't work?"

Li Xuan rubbed his brows and said earnestly, "From the initial muddy current that closed the distance, to the primal force that forced the Zapdos to attack, and even using the residual power of the move to change the weather, these were truly well done."

"Let me put it this way. Team Rocket had a leader named Athena. She used a king-level Arbok, but even her venomous fangs were shattered by Zapdos's 100,000-volt attack."

"Ok?"

Hearing what Li Xuan suddenly said, Lei Si's state of mind was immediately brought back to normal.

All the moves used by Arbok, a king-level monster, were canceled out?

And just now, Sea Slug's move was able to cancel out Zapdos' move. Doesn't this mean that the power of his move has also reached the king level?
It seems like...

It seems that it is not unacceptable?
"Mr. Lei Si, you must think carefully before you take this move!"

Seeing that Lei Si's emotions had been brought back to normal by him, Li Xuan also restarted the battle.

"Zapdos, Storm!"
