Chapter 91: Improving Water Resistance
Lin Chuan had been waiting for the system to emit jets of flame, but he didn't expect it to finally appear. This way, he now had an incredibly powerful special attack move, and it was a fire-type move.
Lin Chuan lit up the jet flame without saying a word, and without feeling sorry for the combat value, he directly increased the jet flame to the limit, consuming 610 combat points.
"Perfect."
Lin Chuan had been troubled before because he didn't have a powerful fire-based move. Now he finally has this move of jetting flames, a move with a power of 90, and the damage is quite astonishing.
Lin Chuan can now basically crush With his fire spray move, even a Pokémon that is 20 levels higher than Lin Chuan can be killed instantly as long as he is restrained.
Then Lin Chuan looked at the combat value. Today 's combat score made Lin Chuan very disappointed. It was too low. Even though the Gem Starfish used self-regeneration many times, it still only had a B+ score.
The reason why it was so low was naturally because the forest lizard was killed instantly, and Lin Chuan himself was also seriously injured, which directly resulted in the output reward being reduced by more than one thousand.
Moreover, the light wall released by the Gem Starfish weakened the power of Lin Chuan's Dragon's Fury a lot, and the damage caused was naturally very low. Not counting the Dragon's Fury on Gyarados, Lin Chuan's two Dragon's Furies only caused 200 damage each. The other few Dragon's Furies did not hit the target, so they were not counted as damage.
There was also the dragon's breath, which was weakened in power by the light wall twice, causing only half the output, and did not cause the paralysis state. In total, Lin Chuan lost more than four or five hundred outputs.
Therefore, the final output reward was only a pitiful 1516 combat points. Taking into account other rewards, the combat value of this scoring reward was only 1873.
Adding the previous combat value, the total combat value reached 3145. Lin Chuan just used up 610 combat points, and now only has 2535 combat points.
“It’s so tragic.”
Lin Chuan cried. He finally met an elf that had realized self-regeneration, but its combat value was so low.
The main reason for this battle was that the forest lizard played almost no role. Not only did it cost him 500 combat points, but it also did not provide any output at all.
The forest lizard is still too weak. Its fast speed is useless because its output is too low. I'm afraid it can only have good strength if it evolves into a lizard king.
Originally, the score this time should have been A+, and there should have been at least three thousand combat value rewards. The main reason was that no one expected that Zi An would deliberately switch to Gyarados in order to deal with the forest lizard.
If the Forest Lizard fights against the Gem Starfish, not only will it not lose its combat effectiveness so quickly, but it can also rely on the Ultimate Absorption to cause a considerable output.
There are more than 2,000 combat points left, and Lin Chuan plans to use them all. Next, he will go to Hongyu City, where there are many junior trainers, and Kalia will definitely challenge trainers frequently.
Try to improve your strength now, so that you can gain more combat value in time . With the flamethrower move, Lin Chuan’s output is definitely enough as long as he is not facing elves that resist fire.
Lin Chuan looked at the rock resistance and water resistance. Of these two resistances, the water resistance is what Lin Chuan has not improved yet. If he wants to improve the water resistance without relying on combat value, he can only eat the very rare Thousand Fragrance Fruit, or train like on the Fossil Island.
Lin Chuan decided to use combat value to increase the water flow. He estimated that it should be similar to increasing explosive power. One hundred points of combat value can increase water flow resistance by 0.01.
The cost-effectiveness of improving water resistance is still very high. The key is that Lin Chuan currently only has two resistances that can be improved.
Lin Chuan clicked the plus sign behind the water resistance, and '2' immediately became '1.99'. At the same time, the combat value immediately decreased by 100 points and became 2435 points.
According to this range, Lin Chuan would need 10,000 combat points to increase his water resistance to '1'.
However, Lin Chuan has a problem. That is, after evolving into Charizard, Lin Chuan will take four times the damage against rock moves. So if he increases the rock resistance to '1' now, what will the rock resistance become after evolution?
Lin Chuan thought about this problem. Increasing it to '1' should be the limit, which is twice the normal damage. After evolution, if Lin Chuan has increased the rock resistance to '1', it will become '3' instead of '2'.
This is because Lin Chuan only offsets the damage of restraint by improving resistance. In fact, his own attributes are still there, which means that the restraint effect is still there.
So after the evolution, Lin Chuan is still four times restrained by the rock, but there is resistance, so Lin Chuan can offset some of the damage from the rock. In the end, the damage he receives from rock moves is three times, not just two times.
Lin Chuan continued to improve his resistance to water flow, and directly used up all of his more than 2,000 combat points. At this time, his combat value was only a pitiful 35 points, but his resistance to water flow had also been greatly improved.
Water resistance: 1.75
From now on, any water damage that Lin Chuan suffers can be directly offset by a quarter of the damage, which is very powerful. Facing the Gem Starfish again, Lin Chuan is not afraid at all.
Speaking of which, Lin Chuan still feels too lucky with the last split move. He thought he could kill the Gem Starfish instantly, but as a result, Lin Chuan just looked at the specific battle data and realized that the last split move hit the vital point, otherwise he would not be able to kill the Gem Starfish with full health instantly.
The defense racial value of the Gem Starfish reaches 85, and its level is very high. With Lin Chuan's attack ability value, even if it is increased by three times, there is no way to kill it instantly without restraint.
In the end, the additional effect of the split was triggered, resulting in a hit on the vital point, which eventually killed the Gem Starfish instantly. Thinking about it now, Lin Chuan felt that it was just luck, otherwise, if the Gem Starfish had not lost its combat effectiveness at that time, it would have counterattacked and defeated him long ago.
Having used up all his combat points, Lin Chuan didn’t stay any longer and left the system space. He would set off for Hongyu City tomorrow, feeling a little excited.
…
Water gym.
"What are you doing today?"
A short-haired man in a black windbreaker was shouting loudly. In front of him was the temporary owner Zi An, who was lowering his head and did not dare to look up to speak.
"How many times have I told you to try your best to get the new trainers the badges? Is this what you did?"
"I recommend you to be the temporary gym leader, not just for fun. Have you read the gym leader's occupation manual? Tomorrow, go and capture two water-type elves as the gym's guard elves. Do not use your own elves anymore."
"Teacher, why?"
Zi An said dissatisfiedly, if he captured two more water-type Pokémon, there would not be any powerful Pokémon nearby. They must be very weak, and they would be defeated by the group of new trainers.
"Why? You can find out by reading the manual. You have to understand that the reason I recommended you to come here is not to let you enjoy being a gym owner, but to let you learn the responsibilities and obligations of being a gym owner."
"I see."
Faced with the mentor's rebuke, Zi An was unable to refute and could only nod to show that he understood.
"During this time, just be a good gym leader and wait for the official gym leader to come back. Don't let me down."
"I understand, but I want to ask you, what level is the rookie trainer who can defeat me at this stage?"
Zi An suddenly spoke.
"How could a rookie trainer possibly defeat you?" The man shook his head, expressing his disbelief. Rookie trainers are those trainers who have not yet become junior trainers.
Zi An is an outstanding student ranked in the top ten in this year's Pokémon Academy, and his strength has long reached the level of a junior trainer.
"It's true. She relied on a forest lizard and a Charmeleon to defeat my Gyarados and Gemstar." Zi An said. Although he still didn't quite believe it, it was true.
"What's the trainer's name?" asked the short-haired man.
"It seems to be called Kalia."
"So it was her. She was the former gym leader of Reiner City. It's normal that you lost to her, but it's a bit unexpected that she only relied on Forest Lizards and Charmeleons." said the man.
"Former Gym Master, no wonder." Zi An was originally still a little resentful, but now when he heard that Kaliya was the former Gym Master of Reiner City, he felt much better.
The leader of a Silver-star gym is already at the intermediate trainer level, so it is normal for him to lose. That Charmeleon is definitely a Pokémon with very high potential.
"Kaliya, if she can really rely on these two elves to defeat you, I don't mind recommending her to enter the Elf Academy." The man said to himself. He knew about Kaliya's past. If Kaliya's father had not died, she should have entered the Elf Academy long ago.
An excellent trainer is undoubtedly worth cultivating. Before, Kalia had not yet reached the level of an intermediate trainer, so she was defeated and lost her position as a gym leader.
If it is true as Zi An said, Kaliya is fully qualified to be recommended by him to enter the Elf Academy.
"Let's get in touch with him first and observe for a while." The short-haired man made the decision.
