Chapter 86: Battle against Gyarados
"Your remaining Pokémon won't be that Charmeleon, right? Then you have absolutely no chance of defeating me. Just give up."
Zi'an looked at Charmeleon behind Kalia and began to advise with contempt in his tone. He thought that a trainer who could get two badges should be quite strong, but he didn't expect that he could defeat the first Pokémon so easily.
Although the remaining Charmeleon looked slightly larger in size, it had no chance at all due to the attribute suppression of the water-type Gyarados.
Kalia clenched her fists. She would not give up. Giving up before a battle is over is not what a trainer should do.
Even if she loses, she must lose meaningfully. At least she must defeat this Gyarados. Then she can only rely on Charmeleon.
Charmeleon is much stronger than Forest Lizard, and with its Awakened Rock move, it still has a chance to defeat this Gyarados.
"Charmeleon, it's up to you now."
Kaliya turned to look at Lin Chuan and spoke softly.
Lin Chuan couldn't wait any longer, so he walked over and jumped onto the rocks in the pond. After gaining resistance to the water flow, he seemed to no longer be afraid of water. This was all thanks to Kalia's training during this period.
Gyarados looks huge even when it's in the water. After it surfaces, it's five or six meters long, which is extremely oppressive.
However, Lin Chuan was not afraid at all. Apart from Gyarados' water-based moves, he could easily withstand Gyarados' other-type moves with his current defense and physical strength, so there was still some room for error in this battle.
Zi An saw that Kaliya wanted to let the Charmeleon continue to fight, so he didn't continue to persuade her, because Kaliya would only see a seriously injured Charmeleon next.
"Charmeleon, use Smoke Screen on Gyarados!"
This time, Kalia plans to focus on defense and then look for opportunities to attack, otherwise Charmeleon will not be able to defeat Gyarados.
Lin Chuan was originally thinking about how to dodge Gyarados's moves and whether to use explosive power. He almost forgot that his smoke screen move had reached its limit and was more effective than ordinary smoke screens.
At the same time, Zi An also said: "Gyarados, get close to Charmeleon and use the Waterfall Climb move."
The Waterfall Climbing Technique is one of the few water-based attack techniques, and it is extremely powerful. Zi An does not hold back at all and wants Gyarados to defeat Charmeleon directly.
Kalia's face looked very bad. Zi'an was too much. An attack move of the level of Waterfall Climb, combined with Gyarados's powerful attack, was far beyond the scope of a rookie trainer.
Even if Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, it might not be able to withstand this attack, let alone if it has not evolved yet.
At this time, Lin Chuan had already released the smoke screen technique, and thick smoke billowed out of his mouth. The extremely black smoke surrounded Gyarados, and some of the smoke even entered the water, dyeing the water surface black.
A normal smoke screen naturally doesn't have that much smoke, but Lin Chuan's smoke screen has reached the limit of the move, which is equivalent to an enhanced version.
Gyarados suddenly lost his vision of the outside world. The smoke was too thick, covering the surroundings. He couldn't see clearly, let alone release his moves.
"Gyarados, dive into the water!" Although Zi An was surprised by Charmeleon's smoke screen move, he still reacted quickly and reminded Gyarados to do so.
However, after Gyarados entered the water, the surroundings were still pitch black because some of the smoke entered the water along with Gyarados.
Gyarados's vision was also blocked in the water, and it was slow to launch an attack because it had no idea of the direction.
Kalia was stunned. Had Charmeleon specially trained in smoke screen techniques? Was this definitely a smoke screen technique?
"Good job, Charmeleon used his awakening power!"
Kalia saw Gyarados twisting in the water and knew that it couldn't use its moves immediately. This was the best opportunity to attack, so she quickly gave the order.
"Gyarados, fly!"
Zi An saw that those who entered the water were also affected by the smoke screen, so he could only let Gyarados fly.
The next second, Gyarados rushed out of the water, and the scales on the sides of its body sprayed out water, supporting it to fly out of the water.
Gyarados can only fly at low altitude. Although it is a flying type, it has no wings and can only fly at low altitude by relying on the impact force generated by the water jet.
Therefore, Gyarados cannot learn many flying-type moves and only has the flying attribute.
Gyarados left the water, and the thick black smoke remained in the water, but some of the smoke still did not dissipate on the water surface. Gyarados's vision was still affected, but not as seriously as before.
At this time, Lin Chuan's awakening power has been released, and he will not show mercy. Lin Chuan even regrets not raising the awakening rock to its limit.
The light brown awakening light went straight to Gyarados. Because its vision was blocked, Gyarados didn't react, and Zi An didn't have time to let Gyarados dodge. Lin Chuan's move was too fast. As soon as Kalia opened her mouth, he had already released his move.
The awakening light continuously impacted Gyarados's body, hitting its hard scales, making crisp impact sounds.
Because Gyarados has very hard scales, it is very good in special defense, with a special defense racial value of up to 100.
Lin Chuan didn't know how much damage this Awakening Rock had caused, but with his special attack ability value, plus the double restraint effect, Gyarados would definitely not feel good even if his special defense was very high.
After Gyarados completely endured the Awakening Rock move, it still maintained its low-altitude flying stone state and did not seem to have suffered any serious injuries.
"Haha, a low-level move like awakening power has no effect on Gyarados at all." Zi An saw the attributes of this awakening power at a glance. If it was an awakening power of electricity, he might have been a little afraid, not to mention that this was just the awakening power released by Charmeleon, so there was no need to care about it.
"Gyarados, attack quickly!" Because of the smoke screen move, Gyarados has not launched an attack yet, which made Zi An a little impatient, and he urged.
Gyarados roared, it was also angry. Although the smoke blocked its vision, after flying up, it could barely see the surroundings clearly, and naturally saw Lin Chuan in front of it.
The next second, Gyarados pounced directly at Lin Chuan, covering him with its huge body, and crashing straight into Lin Chuan with an astonishing momentum.
The waterfall climbing technique relies on the momentum of being able to climb over a waterfall, carrying the water flow and slamming into the opponent fiercely. Its power is extremely amazing.
"Charmeleon, get out of the way!"
Kaliya's voice rang out. In fact, even without Kaliya's reminder, Lin Chuan had already prepared to dodge. He did not have the strength to withstand the waterfall climbing move.
When Gyarados pounced over, Lin Chuan instantly burst into speed and jumped directly into the air, jumping very high.
The battle field was surrounded by water, and Gyarados was very large, so there was almost nowhere to hide. The only way to avoid Gyarados' attack was to jump into the air.
Gyarados undoubtedly missed its target. No one expected Charmeleon to be able to jump into the air. Generally speaking, Charmeleon did not have such strong jumping ability.
After jumping into the air, Lin Chuan landed quickly and jumped onto a rock. He was staggering and almost fell into the water.
Kalia saw Charmeleon dodge Gyarados' attack and smiled faintly. Charmeleon never let her down. It was so reliable.
"Charmeleon, use smoke screen!"
Kalia continued with her previous tactics, using smokescreen to interfere with Gyarados's vision before attacking. This was also the safest tactic.
Lin Chuan knew what Kaliya was thinking, and he once again spewed out a large amount of thick black smoke and rushed straight towards Gyarados.
However, Zi An seemed to have a way to deal with it, and spoke without hesitation: "Gyarados use Tornado to gather the smoke."
The Tornado move is a special move of the Dragon type. Previously, Zi An felt that there was no need to waste an attack opportunity for a smoke screen, so he used the Tornado move that Gyarados was not good at.
But at this moment, it is very necessary.
Gyarados roared, and a whirlwind suddenly appeared on the water surface. As the whirlwind grew bigger and bigger, it directly rolled in the surrounding smoke, forming a small black tornado, and headed straight for Lin Chuan's position.
"Oops, Charmeleon, get out of the way!"
The tornado will gather all the smoke. Once the Charmeleon is hit, it will not only be damaged by the tornado, but its vision will also be obscured by the smoke it released.
Lin Chuan did not expect that Zi An actually had such a trick. Not only did he use the tornado to dissolve the smoke screen move, but he could also use the smoke screen move to interfere with him.
The power of the tornado is not strong, but if his vision is blocked, the result will be the same as Gyarados just now, unable to see his surroundings clearly and can only take the beating.
Gyarados could withstand several of his attacks, but Lin Chuan couldn't withstand Gyarados's waterfall climbing move.
Faced with the approaching tornado, Lin Chuan chose to jump directly into the water. Although Charmeleon is afraid of water, it does not mean that he cannot enter the water.
After jumping into the water, Lin Chuan felt very uncomfortable, but he could only endure it and wait until the tornado dissipated.
I can't hold on any longer.
After waiting for a while, Lin Chuan felt that the tornado should have disappeared, so he jumped out of the water. His whole body was wet, but the flame at the tail was not affected and was still burning fiercely.
The tornado had gradually dissipated, and Lin Chuan was not contaminated by the smoke, thus successfully avoiding the tornado.
Zi An's face changed. He found it a little unbelievable that this fire dinosaur could dodge the attacks by jumping into the water. Wasn't it afraid of water?
"Charmeleon, come on, use Dragon's Fury!"
Kalia became more and more confident. Charmeleon could actually enter the water directly. You have to know that Fire-type Pokémon have a very high aversion to water. To let Fire-type Pokémon enter the water, unless they are forced by the trainer, only Pokémon with a high degree of autonomy will do so on their own initiative.
Charmeleon's desire to win was even stronger than hers, which suddenly gave Kalia a strong fighting spirit.
