Chapter 64: Narrow Victory
After killing Dragonfly in seconds, Scyther had surpassed Lin Chuan and was ahead of all the Pokémons.
Lin Chuan quickly chased after it and dealt with Dragonfly. Now it was just a competition between him and Scyther. As for the elves behind him, he didn’t need to care about them at all.
Lin Chuan's speed was a little faster than Scyther's. At this time, he was following Scyther's closely, and the distance between them was less than five meters.
This distance made it impossible for Lin Chuan to release his moves. After all, the Sly Mantis was also moving at high speed, flapping its wings and leaping forward continuously.
You can only get close and then launch the move, which will be more stable. There is no other way.
too slow!
Lin Chuan ran at full speed for a while and found that although the distance was getting closer, the speed was too small. It would probably take a long time to get close to the Scyther.
"Try looking at the high-speed stars."
High-speed stars can hit opponents at very fast speeds and have a certain degree of tracking ability, so there is no need to worry about opponents relying on speed to dodge.
Moreover, the process of releasing high-speed stars did not hinder his full-speed running. Now he actually took control of the initiative.
Because Scyther can't stop and attack him unless Scyther gives up its leading position, but it is obviously impossible at the moment.
So only Lin Chuan can attack Scyther, but Scyther cannot attack him immediately.
As Lin Chuan ran at full speed, star-shaped lights gradually appeared around him and continued to surround him.
The next second, all the starlight flew rapidly towards the Sly Mantis in front.
Commentator Jia Jia saw this scene, pointed the camera at Scyther, and said: "Charmer used a move, using high-speed stars. Will Scyther be affected?"
When Scyther noticed that Lin Chuan had released the high-speed stars, it immediately responded, using its super-fast speed to try to dodge.
However, the high-speed stars were extremely fast and had tracking capabilities. No matter how hard Scyther tried to dodge, it could not get rid of them and was immediately hit by the stars one after another.
Even though the High-Speed Star is not very powerful, Lin Chuan's special attack ability is high, so the damage caused by this High-Speed Star is not low.
Lin Chuan estimated that one-fifth of Scyther's physical strength should be damaged. Don't underestimate only one-fifth. If it is an awakening rock with the same power, it will be four times the damage.
Although it was still not enough to defeat Scyther, it was enough to seriously injure him. If Lin Chuan had not been running at high speed and could not guarantee the hit rate of Awakening Rock, he would have released it long ago.
Fortunately, the effect of the high-speed star was quite good. It did not affect Lin Chuan's own speed at all, while causing damage to the Scyther.
As long as Scyther doesn't fight back, Lin Chuan can always maintain the upper hand. Once Scyther counterattacks, he will release other moves and kill it instantly.
After being hit by the high-speed star, the Scyther continued to flap its wings quickly, leaping across the grassland without fighting back.
Lin Chuan continued to prepare the high-speed star, while also paying attention to the movements of the Scyther to prevent it from suddenly counterattacking and launching a sneak attack.
Beep beep beep!
Soon, Lin Chuan repeated his old trick and released the high-speed star again, heading straight for the Scyther in front.
Just at this moment, the Scyther suddenly stopped, flapped its wings, jumped up, turned around and flew towards Lin Chuan.
"Counterattack at this time?" Lin Chuan was shocked. Scyther was very cunning. It actually counterattacked right after Lin Chuan released his move.
High-speed stars continued to hit Scyther, but had little effect. When Scyther suddenly swooped over, the wings behind it were covered with a layer of white light, which was a wing attack move.
Although Lin Chuan had been staring at Scyther, after releasing his moves, he had never expected that the opponent would launch a counterattack at this time.
"It's over."
Lin Chuan couldn't stop running immediately and took the initiative to rush towards the Scyther.
The next second, Sly Mantis approached Lin Chuan and slashed at him with the wings behind it. If Lin Chuan was hit by this wing attack, he would definitely be seriously injured and even lose his combat effectiveness.
But at this time, Lin Chuan had no way to dodge and could only make defensive moves. Although he knew it was useless, it was his instinct.
The next second, the fierce attack hit Lin Chuan directly. He felt that the part of his body that was hit by the wings was as if cut by a sharp blade.
"Spygoss suddenly launched a counterattack, and Charmeleon was hit by the wing attack. Can Charmeleon survive?"
The commentator Jia Jia kept explaining. Although she was not sure about what she said, she knew that Charmeleon could not withstand the wing attack of Scyther. After all, Charmeleon has always been a Pokémon with relatively weak defense.
If hit head-on by a wing attack like this, with Scyther's powerful attack, there is basically no chance for it to continue fighting.
In front of the big screen, Yue Chuanjiang sighed: "Charmer Dinosaur still lost, what a pity." In his opinion, Charmer Dinosaur was obviously defeated.
Kaliya shook her head and said , "The results haven't come out yet, don't rush to judge. Charmeleon won't lose that easily."
Kalia knows Lin Chuan best. This Charmeleon has always seemed very mysterious to her, and she feels that it is not so easy to defeat.
After Lin Chuan was hit by the wing attack, he felt extremely painful, as if he had been stabbed, but he was still a little short of losing his combat effectiveness.
"Fortunately, it's not the characteristic of a technical expert." Lin Chuan was very sure at this moment that this Scyther should not have the characteristic of a technical expert, but the insect's premonition.
Otherwise, after this wing attack, Lin Chuan would have definitely lost his combat effectiveness, but now he still has some strength left.
"It's my turn to fight back!"
Lin Chuan rarely suffered such serious injuries and felt very uncomfortable. This made him even more angry and he prepared to fight back.
After hitting Lin Chuan, Scyther kept its distance, as if it discovered that Lin Chuan had not lost his combat effectiveness. Its wings were covered with white light again, ready to continue the attack.
Jia Jia in the air was stunned. Charmeleon actually withstood Scyther's wing attack head-on. Then the camera was focused on Charmeleon, and she was very excited: "Charmeleon survived. I can't believe it. I don't know how his trainer trained this Charmeleon, but I think he must be a very good rookie trainer."
The commentator Jia Jia naturally knew the information when the Pokémon was registered, so she knew that Charmeleon's trainer was just a newcomer, but this was exactly the surprising part, this Charmeleon was so unexpected.
"It really held on!" Yue Chuanjiang was stunned. He remembered that his Charmeleon's defense was relatively weak. Why did Kalia's Charmeleon seem to have such a high defense?
Kalia smiled and stared at the big screen seriously. The next moment was the critical moment. Charmeleon defeated Scyther, but was still defeated by Scyther.
After standing firm, Lin Chuan's first thing was to decisively release the Dragon's Fury move. The reason for releasing the Dragon's Fury was naturally because it was the safest.
This is the critical moment of the battle. The camera must be focused on him and everyone can see the battle. If he uses the awakened power, he can defeat Scyther, but there are risks.
After all, awakening powers are generally learned from move CDs, and the properties of awakening powers are uncertain.
Next, Kaliya will challenge a flying-type gym. If Lin Chuan uses his awakening power in the gym battle, and it is still the same rock attribute, what will others think? The result can be imagined.
On the contrary, as for Dragon's Fury, although Charmeleon may not be able to learn it, there is still a possibility of comprehending it.
Lin Chuan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of Dragon's Fury, and the violent shock wave went straight towards Scyther.
Just then, Scyther also released its wings to attack, preparing to leap over. At this time in the air, it had no way to dodge and was hit directly by Dragon's Fury.
Lin Chuan stared at Scyther closely. Whether he could defeat it depended on this move, Dragon's Fury. Generally speaking, the damage of the previous two moves, High-Speed Stars, plus this move, Dragon's Fury, was enough.
At this time, the participating elves behind were slowly catching up, but Lin Chuan didn't care. These elves posed no threat to him. Even if they surpassed him, they could quickly overtake them, not to mention that they hadn't caught up yet.
Jia Jia continued to explain: "Charmer has released Dragon's Fury, which is a very difficult dragon-type move to master. Can Scyther hold up?"
After a while, the figure of Sly Mantis gradually appeared, but this time it was seriously injured. After struggling for a few times, it fell to the ground weakly and lost its combat effectiveness.
Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easy to deal with it after defeating Scyther. The other Pokémons would not pose a threat to him.
"Scyther has lost its fighting power. It looks like Charmeleon finally won!" Jia Jia said excitedly. There are so few battles like this in the Speed Contest. It makes her feel like she is commenting on a Pokémon competition.
Lin Chuan ran quickly. Although he was injured, and it was not an ordinary injury, fortunately it did not affect his speed too much.
The remaining two participating elves had caught up, but he immediately left them behind. As long as he maintained this speed, his qualification for the next round would be basically secured.
