Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Page 465

Now, the initial charging failure has been made up for.

Not only that, after this move, the electric dragon slowly opened its eyes and regained its senses.

Three birds with one stone.

Xiao Chunren was numb.

"This is outrageous," she muttered casually. "In that case, let's charge in and use a ramming attack!"

This choice was somewhat unexpected for Tetsuya.

Not only him, but no one else expected it either.

The Qixi Bluebird transformed into a blue and white shadow and rushed swiftly toward the electric dragon.

"Iron Tail Counterattack!"

Despite his surprise, Tetsuya reacted immediately.

The silvery-white steel coating covered the electric dragon's slender tail, making the blue sphere at the end appear even shinier.

"boom"

The two elves passed each other, one above the other.

Their bodies bore the marks of attacks.

"Trade injury for injury?" Tetsuya rubbed his fingers, feeling a slight sense of unease.

Compared to Altaria, Ampharos is not particularly outstanding in terms of defensive capabilities.

Their physical strength is not too different.

If things continue like this, the electric dragon will definitely be the one who suffers.

Moreover, the Qixi Bluebird can also master some skills to restore stamina.

Even though the impact caused considerable recoil, the Tanabata Bluebird could withstand it completely.

Just as he was pondering, the Azure Bird spun around and charged at him again with astonishing momentum.

The electric dragon stood firmly in place, motionless.

"flash."

Tetsuya's instructions came through.

A dazzling light instantly enveloped the entire room.

"Li—"

The mournful cry of the bluebird of the Qixi Festival could be heard.

Zhe, pulling out his sunglasses and putting them on, didn't relax at all: "That's it, keep up with the damage, 100,000 volts!"

"Buwoo"

With a powerful roar, the electric dragon's yellow lightning was not obscured by the flash of white light.

The bluebird, exhausted, fell to the ground.

A battle is unlikely; we just need some time to prepare.

Tetsuya breathed a slight sigh of relief.

A hint of a smile flashed in Xiaochun's eyes: "Then, maintain the posture and use Earthquake!"

The next moment, the previously listless Tanabata seemed to immediately regain its spirit.

It suddenly accelerated and crashed into the ground.

"What?!" Tetsuya's expression changed. "Magnetic field manipulation!"

In his haste, his voice cracked.

"boom"

The violent tremors occurred in a small area.

I wonder if it's because of those pillars.

Even when the ground shook violently, the entire building remained as stable as a mountain.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

None of them could see the situation inside clearly.

"Quick reaction! Too bad it's still a little short." Xiaochun flashed a queen-like smile. "Try harder next time!"

"Master Xiaochun is jumping to conclusions a bit too early."

After a brief moment of panic, Tetsuya regained his composure.

He really didn't expect Xiaochun and the Tanabata Bluebird to pull this stunt.

The Ground-type move Earthquake is a nightmare for Ampharos.

If you were to consume it completely, there's a high chance you'd lose your ability to fight even at full strength.

"They just returned for the second time, so they must be planning to launch an attack."

Recalling the unconventional battle pattern of the Tanabata Bluebird just now, Tetsuya said knowingly.

Xiaochun smiled and said, "That's why I say you reacted quickly. If it weren't for that flash, it would have been over long ago."

Normal Pokémon can't use such a powerful flash so quickly, but Ampharos is different.

Its two blue spheres are the best light emitters, a unique physical gift.

Therefore, Xiaochun had no choice but to execute the less desirable Plan B.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

She didn't think the electric dragon could retain any fighting strength after such an earthquake.

"call out"

A shadow carrying smoke and dust shot into the sky.

Xiaochun flashed a victorious smile: "Look..."

Her voice suddenly stopped, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Now it was Tetsuya's turn to smile broadly: "That's why you shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly."

The sprite that soared into the sky was not the Altaria, which has the ability to fly, but an electric dragon that shouldn't be able to fly.

Using magnetic fields to fly—that's what Magneto, an old man in a movie from Tetsuya's previous life, did.

It's not fast, but it's sufficient.

Especially for electric dragons.

Ground-type moves like Earthquake cannot damage airborne Pokémon.

"What an amazing use of skill! This is the first time I've ever seen an Electric-type Pokémon use a magnetic field to control its flight."

Xiao Chun, having finally understood, was deeply moved.

Are there any Pokémon that can fly using magnetic fields? Of course, Magneton is a good example.

However, this is just a special case.

Magneto's ability to fly by manipulating magnetic fields is due to both the conditions required for its evolution and its unique body structure.

Many trainers have researched this idea, but without exception, none have succeeded.

Whether it's due to insufficient strength or some other reason, the other Electric-type Pokémon can only float rather than fly.

While this is enough to avoid considerable damage, it is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

Electric Dragon's move was clearly beyond Xiaochun's imagination.

"thunder."

Tetsuya's command brought the battle to a final close.

A pillar of lightning, resembling a blue dragon, erupted across the field.

Under indiscriminate attacks, the Tanabata had no chance of surviving.

As the smoke and dust rose and then dissipated, it appeared before everyone's eyes, its eyes circling and its body pitch black.

"Altair is unable to battle, Ampharos wins."

Kabu immediately announced the results.

As Tsubaki returned Altaria to its Poké Ball, she looked at Tetsuya with a hint of reproach: "Honestly, Altaria didn't have much stamina in that situation, did you really need to use Thunder?"

Tetsuya gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He was taken advantage of because he felt he didn't have much energy left, so he dared not let his guard down again.

“Speaking of which, your electric dragon’s electric shock is a bit different.” Xiaochun looked at Altaria with great curiosity. “How should I put it, it seems to me to be very vivid.”

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

"They're all devils," Tetsuya thought to himself, rolling his eyes.

How could a normal trainer possibly discern the special characteristics of an Ampharos in just one battle?

"I had some small successes before."

He gave a vague explanation.

Xiaochun clearly had no intention of delving deeper; she wasn't an Electric-type Trainer, so knowing wouldn't make a difference.

The techniques for manipulating magnetic fields are extremely specific.

"Then, let's begin the next battle. I can't wait."

She looked very excited.

Although she lost, Xiaochun was still very happy.

She hadn't enjoyed such an intense battle in a while.

"Go, One-Horned Rhinoceros."

"Change Pokémon, my next opponent is Prince Pokémon."

After a brief exchange, the battle resumed.

Xiaochun waved her hand: "Charge! Use the corner ram!"

"Mou"

With a powerful push off the ground with its four thick legs and a low head, the one-horned rhinoceros charged straight at the ground with astonishing force.

Tetsuya knew, of course, that he should choose to hide at this time.

This guy isn't good at turning.

A head-on confrontation is a very unwise choice.

However, it is clear that the word "hide" does not exist in Prince Bo's dictionary.

Even if his personality as a prince of the Bo Kingdom is not arrogant compared to others of his kind.

"Playing in the water, resisting the water flow!"

The blue water burst open.

Prince Bo swung his forelimbs across his body.

After a brief standoff, the charging rhinoceros stopped, having dug deep marks in the ground.

"Next came the metal claws."

"Don't give it a chance, let the rockfall crush it!"

Xiaochun's commanding voice was full of wildness.
