Chapter 66: Speculations on Additional Effects
the next day.
The first thing Lin Chuan did when he opened his eyes was to sit up. He recalled his operations in the system space yesterday and prepared to test whether there were any changes.
While Kalia was still asleep, Lin Xing jumped out of bed, walked to the small battle arena in the room, and released dragon breath towards the ground.
A violent breath gushed out, continuously hitting the floor, but the energy seemed to be absorbed by the floor, causing no damage and making no loud noise.
Until the end of the release, Lin Chuan didn't feel anything different. The only improvement was that the release interval was reduced.
"No, it can't be like this."
Lin Chuan shook his head. It was inevitable that the interval between the release of dragon breath would be reduced, but he felt that it couldn't be that simple. It was probably because releasing it out of thin air like this wouldn't show any changes. He still had to rely on actual combat to verify it.
Lin Chuan glanced at Kalia, who was still sleeping. The forest lizards were now staying in the Poké Ball. After all, their bodies had grown bigger, so it was more convenient for them to stay in the Poké Ball.
Lin Chuan tried to release the awakening power of ice again. A ball of blue awakening light condensed and went towards the floor. A little frost could be seen appearing on the ground.
"wrong!"
An idea flashed through Lin Chuan's mind. He walked to the floor in front of him, touched the frost covering it, and felt it was icy cold.
If Lin Chuan remembered correctly, the awakening ice had no additional effects and only released ordinary ice energy. However, the cold frost produced by the awakening ice that had just been released could exist for so long without being absorbed by the ground. It was obviously not a simple ice energy.
Lin Chuan suspected that if the awakened ice that reached the limit of the move hit the opponent, it might produce a freezing effect, and this might be the change that occurred when the move reached its limit.
Many moves have additional effects, such as Flame Fang and Sparks, which have a certain chance of causing a burn. Although the chance is not very high, it can sometimes turn the tide in battle.
If the awakened ice has the additional effect of freezing, even if the probability is small, as long as it hits, it may be able to slow down the opponent or even freeze him.
Let’s take a nap first.
After thinking for a while, Lin Chuan decided to wait until the actual combat to verify it. Now it was still dark, so he lay down on the bed and took a nap.
…
The second round of the Speed Contest is coming to an end. Eight out of ten groups have already finished competing. Today is the competition between the ninth and tenth groups.
The forest lizard was naturally eliminated. Lin Chuan watched that game and saw that the King Swallow surpassed all the elves from the very beginning. There was no way to catch up with it, let alone interfere with it.
Only the forest lizard was able to follow behind, but it was just following, and the distance between them was getting bigger and bigger, until finally only a dark figure could be seen in the distant sky.
Comparing the speed capability of the forest lizard, this king swallow should be faster than Lin Chuan, but to a limited extent.
There is not just one but three King Swallows in this Speed Tournament. It is very easy to capture a Swallow and it is not difficult to train it into a King Swallow. Generally, as long as a junior trainer is determined to capture a Swallow, it will definitely evolve into a King Swallow in the end.
Although the King Swallow's racial stats are a bit low and it is the final evolution form, its excellent speed racial stats still allow it to occupy a place in the Pokémon battle.
Currently, there are a total of eight elves that have advanced, including Lin Chuan. Among the three king swallows, one has not yet advanced. In addition, the Iron-faced Ninja has already advanced. He is also incredibly fast and easily obtained the qualification for advancement.
There is only one Iron-faced Ninja. After all, Doi Ninja didn't have any decent moves before he evolved. He could only use moves like claw attacks in battle. Except for learning new moves through move CDs, he could only have good strength after evolving into Iron-faced Ninja.
However, its weakness before evolution made it very difficult for the Doi Ninja to fight, and its growth was very slow. If it was to grow quickly, a lot of resources would be needed.
Compared to the Doi Ninja, Ooguyan is much stronger. Before evolving, not only does he have preemptive moves like Lightning Flash, but he can also learn wing attacks and shadow clones. Most importantly, Ooguyan has a strong character and has the courage to challenge even the strongest opponent.
This kind of fighting spirit makes many trainers prefer to subdue Oolong rather than Ninja Doi, even though the Iron-faced Ninja is more likely to win the championship of the Speed Tournament.
In addition to the royal swallow and the proud swallow, other successful advances include the quagga frog, the electric flying squirrel, and the shuttlecock flower.
Among them, Kissflower also gained the qualification for promotion by relying on its characteristics. Kissflower's speed racial value is only 80, but its characteristic is chlorophyll. In addition, the weather was sunny at the time, so the chlorophyll took effect and doubled Kissflower's speed, surpassing other Pokémon.
In addition to the Great Swallow and the Iron-faced Ninja, Lin Chuan is most worried about the Shuttlecock Flower. The characteristic of chlorophyll is to directly double the speed. Once the characteristic effect is triggered, the Shuttlecock Flower can even directly crush the Great Swallow in speed. Even the Iron-faced Ninja may not be faster than the Shuttlecock Flower before the acceleration characteristic is triggered.
However, the shuttlecock flower has a disadvantage, which is that in order to fly, it needs to rotate the petals on top of its head, and it also needs the wind as a help to fly higher and faster.
Time passed and the morning competition soon began. In the ninth group, a Raichu advanced in the end, and in the tenth group, the third King Swallow successfully advanced.
A total of ten elves advance to the third round, which will be held in the afternoon. It will also be a group match, with five elves competing in speed. The two elves that advance in the end will have the final battle.
Lin Chuan feels a bit stressed, but he can only give it his all now. He is not worried about the likes of Flying Squirrel and Frog. The King Swallow, Iron-faced Ninja, Shuttlecock Flower, and Raichu are the Pokémon that Lin Chuan feels are difficult to deal with.
Raichu has the characteristics of static electricity, and many of the moves it releases will paralyze the Pokémon, and its speed racial stat is as high as 110 points.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan upgraded yesterday. If it were the previous Lin Chuan, he would definitely not be able to beat Raichu. It’s hard to say now, but he should be faster.
Blue grassland.
After lunch, Lin Chuan followed Yue Chuanjiang to the blue grassland and started drawing lots to divide into groups to decide the allocation for the third round.
"Charizard, you must try your best. Whether you can get the prize depends on you." Yue Chuanjiang muttered to himself, preparing to draw lots.
Ever since Lin Chuan advanced to the second round, Yue Chuanjiang felt that he saw hope. If he could really get the bonus, it would be a full 20,000 Alliance Coins, which is not a small amount.
Afterwards, Yue Chuanjiang reached out and grabbed a piece of paper, opened it and saw that he was assigned to the first group.
"What bad luck." Yue Chuanjiang smiled bitterly.
"I didn't expect to be assigned to the first group." Kalia also felt that her luck was too bad. If she was in the second group, she would still have a chance, but the chances in the first group were very small.
Lin Chuan looked at the big screen, then his face changed. What he feared came true. The first group included an iron-faced ninja, two king swallows and a quagga frog.
This lineup made Lin Chuan feel that it would be very difficult to qualify for the finals, but there was still a chance.
The Great King Swallow will definitely interfere with the Iron-faced Ninja. After all, their trainers must know that the Iron-faced Ninja is the most threatening. For them, as long as they defeat the Iron-faced Ninja, it is basically the same as winning.
After the draw was completed and the groups were determined, we waited for a while, and the first group of matches in the third round was about to begin.
Lin Chuan arrived at the starting point and looked at the four Pokémon around him. Although there seemed to be no chance in this match, there would definitely be a fight between King Swallow and Iron-faced Ninja. After all, there was no trainer who didn't want his Pokémon to advance to the finals.
Lin Chuan planned to attack the Iron-faced Ninja first. If the two King Swallows also took action, then three elves would besiege the Iron-faced Ninja, and it would be entirely possible to eliminate the Iron-faced Ninja directly.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jia Jia. The Speed Contest has already reached the third round. Those who have advanced to this stage are all very outstanding elves. The elves in the first group are Iron Ninja, King Swallow, and Charmeleon..."
"This match is bound to be more intense than ever before. There are still ten seconds left before the match starts. Let's wait and see."
As the countdown continued, Lin Chuan became serious and began to think about the next moves he would release. If he did not defeat the other elves, he would have no chance of qualifying for the finals.
Lin Chuan planned to release Awakening Ice first. Although this would be discovered by Kalia, Awakening Ice was a move that could cause high damage to the Iron-faced Ninja.
There is only one Iron-faced Ninja. As long as he is dealt with, Lin Chuan will have a lot of room to maneuver. Although King Yan is fast, he is not yet able to leave him far behind.
etc!
Lin Chuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He suddenly had an idea. Since Awakening Ice reaches the limit of the moves, it will produce an additional effect of freezing, then what about the moves that already have additional effects?
Dragon's Breath is a move that has a chance of causing paralysis, and the chance is not low. So, after releasing Dragon's Breath that has reached the limit of the move, will the additional effect be enhanced, such as doubling the chance?
"start!"
Lin Chuan was just thinking about it when the referee's order was given and the game began.
