Chapter 85: The Powerful Gyarados
The battle field of the water gym is a pond with several flat stones in the middle, which is also the foothold of the Pokémon.
At this time, Zi An had already taken back his Pokémon, a lavender Gem Starfish. As the evolved form of Starfish, the strength of Gem Starfish was simply beyond the reach of a rookie trainer. Before, it was this Gem Starfish that had been fighting and easily defeated the rookie trainer who challenged it.
"I want to challenge!"
Just as Zi'an took back the Gem Starfish and prepared to leave, Kaliya suddenly spoke up. The reason she was challenging now was naturally because she wanted to obtain the badge as soon as possible, go to other cities, and challenge stronger trainers.
Moreover, Zi An is a student of the Elf Academy, so she must be very strong. Although there are powerful elves like Gem Starfish, her elves are not bad either. In addition, after a week of training, the strength of both elves has improved significantly, so it is entirely possible for them to win.
Zi An looked in the direction of Kaliya and said calmly: "Sorry, I have to take a nap. Go get two badges first, and then consider challenging me."
"I already have two badges."
Kalia stretched out her left arm, revealing two badges on it, a solid stone badge and a flying badge.
"oh?"
Zi An paused, took a closer look at the badge on Kalia's arm, and was a little surprised.
Generally, those who challenge the Water Gym are new trainers who don't have any badges. If they already have the Flying Badge, they should have obtained the Water Badge long ago.
"Since you have already got two badges, there will be no problem." Zi An had no reason to refuse and accepted the challenge. Being able to obtain the flying badge showed that Kaliya already had good strength and was much stronger than most rookie trainers.
After Lin Chuan woke up, he kept listening to the noise outside in the Poké Ball. Knowing that Kalia was preparing to challenge the new temporary gym leader, he took the initiative to come out of the Poké Ball.
Although he couldn't be the first to go into battle against a Water Gym, there was no way he could continue to stay in the Poké Ball; that would be too boring, so he would definitely have to come out and watch the battle.
"Charmeleon, you are not needed to play for the time being." Kalia couldn't help but say when she saw Charmeleon leave the Poké Ball on his own initiative.
Lin Chuan directly found a seat near the front and sat down so that he could see more clearly.
Seeing that Charmeleon had no intention of fighting but was preparing to watch the battle, Kalia felt relieved and walked to the edge of the battlefield.
The pond is the size of a normal standard battlefield, with only a few stones to stand on. It is a great test of the elves' dodging ability, and they may fall into the pond if they are not careful.
"Send out your elves."
Zi An spoke first.
When Kalia saw that Zi'an asked her to send out the elves first, she had a bad feeling, but facing the water elves, she could only send out the forest lizards to fight. It was impossible for her to let the fire dinosaurs fight at the beginning.
"Go ahead, forest lizard."
Kalia threw the Poké Ball, and the Forest Lizard came out of the Poké Ball and landed on a stone in the pond.
"Forest lizard, hehe."
Zi An saw Kaliya's Pokémon and smiled confidently, then took out a Poké Ball, but not the one with the Gem Starfish.
Kalia obviously noticed that Zi'an obviously saw the elf she sent out, so she replaced the elf that appeared.
This made Kalia a little unhappy. As a gym owner, she shouldn't deliberately use some means to gain an advantage in the battle in order to win.
However, Kalia couldn't blame Zi'an for her behavior. Sometimes she would change the elves that appeared according to the opponent's elves, but she would not do it too deliberately.
This is very normal behavior for a trainer. It is obvious that Zi An is still in the mentality of an ordinary trainer, not a gym leader.
"Go, Gyarados!"
Zi An threw out the Poké Ball, and a blue Gyarados landed on the battlefield. Its huge body entered the water, and it kept making angry roars, which was a little scary.
"Be quiet, Gyarados!" Zi An said loudly.
Gyarados stopped roaring, but still looked ferocious, causing the forest lizard to look at it with fear. Gyarados's intimidating nature took effect.
Seeing this Gyarados, Kalia's face changed. If it was an ordinary water-type Pokémon, the Forest Lizard would not be too afraid of it. Even if it was a Gem Starfish, it would be confident that it could rely on Ultimate Absorption to engage in a war of attrition.
But Kalia didn't expect that Zi'an had a Gyarados. Facing the flying and water-type Gyarados, the grass-type advantage of the Forest Lizard disappeared. Moreover, Gyarados was very powerful and could learn many attack moves, including some that could restrain the Forest Lizard.
In this battle, Kalia not only has no advantage, but even has some disadvantages. If the Forest Lizard is defeated, it will be very difficult for the Charmeleon to defeat two water elves in a row.
When Lin Chuan saw Zi An sending out Gyarados, he also realized that this person deliberately replaced Gyarados to fight against the forest lizard.
The current level of the forest lizard is the same as Lin Chuan, both are level 20, but the ability values are far apart. The special attack ability value has just reached 400, and the speed ability value is the highest, which is already over 600.
However, the Forest Lizard's defense ability value is only over 200, which can be said to be very low. Once hit by Gyarados's attack moves, it will basically be seriously injured or even directly lose its combat effectiveness.
Lin Chuan finally understood that Zi An had no intention of letting Kalia get the badge. He just wanted to defeat all the rookie trainers.
Today is his first day as a gym leader. Even though he is a temporary gym leader, he cannot tolerate being defeated by a rookie trainer.
Lin Chuan is not optimistic about the Forest Lizard. Although the Forest Lizard is definitely much faster than Gyarados, such a battle field itself has some limitations on speed.
Gyarados can move quickly directly in the water, while Forest Lizard is better at moving on the ground and in the woods. This is the influence of the environment.
Without the advantage of speed, the Forest Lizard has almost nothing to show for its skills. Its only Grass-type move is the Ultimate Absorption, but without the restraining effect, it is of little use.
The battle began soon.
"Forest Lizard, use Ultimate Drain."
Kalia spoke first. The Forest Lizard currently has a relatively limited number of moves. After all, it is a single grass-type move. The Ultimate Absorption with a power of 75 was something the Forest Lizard learned from the move disc.
Zi An chuckled. In his eyes, Kalia had already been defeated. The forest lizard was no match for Gyarados. His Gyarados had already learned the ice-type Freeze Fang.
"Gyarados, get close to the Forest Lizard and use the Freezing Fang move." Zi An was not prepared to give the Forest Lizard any chance to turn the tables and directly ordered Gyarados to use the Freezing Fang move.
Kalia's face turned pale. The thing she was most worried about happened. This Gyarados learned the Freeze Fang.
"Forest Lizard, don't use Super Absorption. Use your speed first to avoid Gyarados's Freezing Fang!" Kalia changed the order temporarily. Gyarados with Freezing Fang was too dangerous for the Forest Lizard.
The only thing he could rely on now was the speed advantage of the forest lizard. Only by dodging the freezing fangs would he have the opportunity to release his moves. Otherwise, even if he successfully released the ultimate absorption, it would be meaningless if he was hit by the freezing fangs.
Gyarados dived directly into the water and swam towards the forest lizard, leaving only its dorsal fin exposed. It quickly approached the forest lizard with splashes of water.
The forest lizard kept jumping flexibly on the rocks, trying to distance itself from Gyarados, but the dodging space in the battle field was limited.
Gyarados swims very fast in the water, which is caused by environmental factors. Even if the Forest Lizard's speed ability value is faster than Gyarados, it is useless.
With a loud splash.
Gyarados suddenly rushed out of the water, and pounced on the forest lizard with its huge body. This Gyarados was five or six meters long. It opened its mouth, revealing four hard teeth. A trace of cold air emerged around it, freezing all the water droplets on its body into ice crystals.
The forest lizard looked around, somewhat at a loss. Gyarados was too huge, and its huge shadow covered it, and it had no way to escape.
The next second, Gyarados pounced on the forest lizard, bit its body and dragged it directly into the water.
With a splash, water splashed.
"Oops!"
Kalia was a little helpless, but there was nothing she could do. This was the gap between the Pokémons. The Purple Dark Gyarados was much stronger than the Forest Lizard, leaving her with no room for command at all.
Not to mention her, even the Pokémon of many junior trainers may not be able to defeat Zi'an's Gyarados, which is far beyond the level of the Pokémon of the Red Star Gym.
Kalia was a little angry and a little powerless, but she had already challenged, so she had to fight on.
After the forest lizard was bitten by the frozen teeth and dragged into the water, it had almost no room for resistance. The next second, Gyarados threw the forest lizard out of the water and onto the stone.
The forest lizard had fallen into a coma and could no longer fight, so Kalia had to take the forest lizard back.
Seeing the forest lizard being killed in seconds, Lin Chuan was very angry, because this would lower the score of this battle a lot, and the forest lizard had not caused any damage yet, so he would have to rely on him to fight next.
Lin Chuan got angry when he saw Zi An. In terms of racial value, Gyarados was much higher than the Forest Lizard. They were not on the same level at all. Even the level of this Gyarados was much higher than that of the Forest Lizard.
This was a victory entirely based on the crushing of attribute levels. Zi An looked complacent about it. Lin Chuan was ready to let him know what true strength was.
