Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 904, Two in a Row
"How could this be? Is the difference that big?" Du She frowned, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief as he looked at the armored rhinoceros lying on the ground. The armored rhinoceros had been rendered motionless by that punch.

"Rhino is unable to battle. Please recall Rhino and send out your next battle Pokémon." The referee stood at the edge of the arena, waving his small flag rapidly, and announced the result of the battle in a loud and clear voice.

Dushe nodded slightly, his face expressionless. He recalled Rhyhorn with a Poké Ball, then took out another Poké Ball from his belt, flicked his arm, and shouted, "Go, Armor..."

"It's Donphan! Dushe has sent out Donphan!" The announcer's voice echoed throughout the venue via the loudspeaker, still tinged with some confusion. "Doesn't Dushe have any other Pokémon? Donphan is a Ground-type Pokémon, which is also weak to Water-type Pokémon..."

"Donphan? Could it be another water-resistant Pokémon?" Yu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, a curious smile playing on his lips. A hint of doubt arose in his heart. Where did this guy get so many water-resistant Ground-type Pokémon?

"Blastoise, Water Cannon!" Yu Hai had the first move. He clenched his fists and planned to test the waters with Water Cannon first.

"Kame!" Blastoise raised its head, its thick cannon slightly raised, and let out a deep roar, responding to the trainer's attack command with the sound of its cannon.

"Donapel, roll charge!" Dushe saw the Blastoise's cannon move, his eyes sharpened, and he immediately raised his hand and waved for Donapel to attack.

"Cool, right!" Dontael tensed up, its limbs quickly curling up into a solid tire. Its rough skin rubbed against the ground, making a "rustling" sound, and it rolled quickly toward Blastoise at an extremely fast speed, kicking up a trail of dust.

"Click!" Blastoise's cannon flashed blue light as two powerful water cannons shot out, like two cannonballs rushing towards Donphan.

One of the shots hit the rolling Duncan precisely, but surprisingly, the water cannon was deflected by the Duncan, and the water droplets splashed everywhere, having no effect on the rolling Duncan.

Yu Hai's heart tightened. He bit his lip lightly, his eyes flashing as he thought of a solution. He immediately shouted, his voice tinged with urgency, "Blastoise, if Water Cannon doesn't work, use Water Gun to build an ice wall!"

"Click!" Blastoise pointed its cannon downwards, and a powerful stream of water gushed out from the cannon, splashing onto the ground.

At the same time, it spewed out a cold, bone-chilling beam of freezing light from its mouth, instantly lowering the surrounding temperature; the audience could even feel a chill rushing towards them.

In the blink of an eye, the water on the ground froze, and the frozen ice wall continued to rise and thicken, until a solid ice wall rose from the ground in an instant.

"It's no use, Donjia, charge!" Dushe smiled confidently, pointed his finger forcefully, his eyes full of trust in Donjia. He firmly believed that the mere ice wall could not stop Donjia at all.

"Boom boom——"

The Donjia, like a cannonball, crashed into the ice wall with unstoppable momentum.

The impact was deafening. The first ice wall shattered instantly under the powerful impact, and ice shards flew everywhere like snowflakes.

However, there was another ice wall behind the first one. By this time, Donjac's impact force had been exhausted, and it could only crash heavily into the second ice wall, producing a dull friction sound and sending sand and stones flying.

"What? There's another ice wall?" Dushe's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment. He really didn't expect that there would be a relatively smaller ice wall, cleverly hidden behind the first ice wall, catching him off guard.

"Blastoise, now! Ice Punch..." Yu Hai's eyes gleamed, a confident smile playing on his lips as he loudly issued the command.

"Crack!" Blastoise clenched its thick arm into a fist, instantly covering it with a layer of crystal-clear frost that emanated a chilling aura. It roared and slammed its fist, imbued with immense power, into the ice wall before it.

"Rumble--"

The ice wall crumbled instantly under the thunderous blow, and the shattered ice fragments, like bullets, hurtled towards the rolling Donta.

Donphan was jolted by the sudden ice shards and let out a painful groan. It should be noted that Donphan, which is not afraid of water, would suffer twice the damage from ice-type moves.

Immediately afterwards, Blastoise's Ice Punch struck Donphan without any resistance.

In an instant, an extremely cold force spread rapidly, freezing Donja's entire body in the blink of an eye. Donja stopped rolling and was completely frozen in the ice, like an ice sculpture.

Blastoise pressed its advantage, quickly lowering its body and aiming its thick cannon at the frozen Donphan. The cannon flashed with light, energy condensed wildly, and a dazzling beam of destruction swept towards the frozen Donphan like a raging torrent.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, seemingly about to collapse the entire arena, the ice blocks that had frozen Donja shattered under the powerful impact, sending countless ice shards flying everywhere. Donja was also instantly sent flying by the force of the impact, crashing heavily into the energy barrier with a dull thud.

"A decent Dunka, what a pity." Yu Hai shook his head slightly, a hint of regret on his face.

In his view, water and ice are inseparable. No matter how unafraid of water a Ground-type Pokémon is, it shouldn't blindly appear like this. Even he himself wouldn't dare to fight against the opposite type so easily. This guy in front of him is really stubborn.

Donphan's physical defense is indeed very high, that's for sure, but its special defense is only 60 points. It's hard to say whether Donphan can withstand a Freeze Punch and a powerful Hyper Beam.

"Donjia!" Dushe was extremely anxious, staring intently at the smoke behind the energy barrier, shouting loudly, his voice full of worry, eager to know Donjia's current situation.

"Cool, right? Cool, right..."

After a moment, Donphan struggled to his feet from the dust and weakly responded to the trainer's call.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the heavily wounded Donjar finally came into view. Its body was covered with wounds, and blood seeped out, staining parts of its skin red. Its limbs trembled violently as it struggled to support its body, looking shaky and as if it would collapse at any moment.

Dushe looked anxious, his eyes fixed on the wounded Dunjia, and shouted, "Dunjia, are you alright?"

After shouting, he slightly raised his head and looked at the Blastoise opposite him, which was in a frozen state. His mind raced, and he keenly realized that now was the perfect time to attack.

"Cool, huh?" Donjia grunted, shaking its nose hard. The previous attack had really hurt it, and its eyes flashed with anger. It secretly vowed to get revenge.

"Very good, Donka, use Thunder Fang..." Dushe clenched his fists, his arm muscles tense, and gave the command loudly, his eyes filled with expectation. He believed that Donka could definitely do it.

"Cool, right!" Donphan responded, its four hooves suddenly exerting force, and it instantly took heavy strides, rushing towards Blastoise like a whirlwind.

Arcs of electricity crackled on its massive fangs, and the air was filled with the faint smell of burning electricity. "Blastoise, once you recover, retract into your shell and use Iron Defense..." Yu Hai frowned and loudly reminded Blastoise to focus on defense from now on.

"Crack!" Blastoise's previously stiff body trembled slightly. Seeing Donphan rushing towards it through the water, just as Donphan was about to hit it, it felt its limbs regain movement and quickly retracted into its shell without hesitation. At the same time, it activated Iron Wall Defense, and a metallic sheen appeared on its shell.

Unfortunately, Donpa was too late. It could only use its huge fangs to push Blastoise's shell into the air.

The Blastoise's massive shell traced an arc across the sky, its metallic sheen shimmering continuously.

"Blastoise, use Water Cannon to adjust your direction and land..." Yu Hai shouted, arms crossed, a hint of tension on his face.

"Crack!" Inside its shell, Blastoise unleashed a powerful water cannon from the cracks in the shell. The instant the water was ejected, it generated a strong reaction force, adjusting the direction of the force that propelled it forward.

Blastoise slowly spun in the air and descended towards the ground, finally landing firmly on its feet, kicking up a cloud of dust, indicating that it had landed safely.

As Blastoise successfully landed, the host's excited voice came through the loudspeaker clearly: "It's a pity that Thunder Fang didn't cause too much damage. What will Dushe do next?"

Yu Hai looked at Blastoise as it landed and, wanting to create a favorable battle environment for it, immediately shouted, "Blastoise, use Ice Beam to freeze the ground!"

"Click!" Blastoise received the command, lowered its cannon, and fired two beams of azure freezing light.

In an instant, the originally wet and muddy grass was quickly frozen, and a cold aura rushed in. Even the place where Donja stood was not spared. The ice shimmered with a cold light and reflected a pure white flash.

"Donjar, keep using Thunder Fang." Dushe gritted his teeth, ignoring the change in the terrain, and continued to have Donjar attack.

He knew very well that this was the only move Donphan could use to counter Blastoise.

"Cool, right?" Donjia tried to pry the ground with his strong forelimbs, but after only two pryings, there was a loud "boom" that was very clear in the open battlefield. It was the sound of Donjia stumbling and falling heavily onto the gleaming ice.

Its massive body struggled and twisted on the ice, splashing up fine ice shards. It was difficult for it to stand up; it simply couldn't maintain its balance.

"Blastoise, Ice Beam..." Yu Hai seized the opportunity and shouted the order, as Donphan was already at its last gasp.

"Crack!" Blastoise's mouth opened instantly, and a beam of azure freezing light shot out like an aurora, carrying wisps of white chill into the air.

Wherever the light passed, the temperature dropped sharply, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze, making a faint "crackling" sound.

"Oh no, we should have used an earthquake to break the ice first." Dushe frowned, inwardly cursing. He watched helplessly as Donjia fell into danger, knowing he absolutely could not be frozen any longer. He anxiously shouted to Donjia, "Donjia, dig a hole and hide..."

At this moment, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

It's now impossible for Donka to stand up and fight back; digging through the smooth, mirror-like ice is much easier than getting them to stand up.

Upon hearing its trainer's instructions, Dongyel swung its forelimbs with all its might, digging furiously into the ice.

Although its movements were somewhat clumsy, each step was filled with tenacious will. Ice shards flew under its forelimbs, making a "crackling" sound, and quickly penetrated into the ground.

Boom, boom, boom——

As Dongyal dug through the ice and slowly went deeper underground, the ground began to tremble slightly, raising some dust.

Seeing this, Yu Hai immediately raised his hand, his expression calm, the victory already secured. He shouted loudly to Blastoise, "Earthquake..."

"Kame!" Blastoise heard the command, raised its thick hind legs high, and then slammed them into the ground.

In an instant, the ground was struck by a tremendous force, shaking violently. Cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, and the ice surface shattered into countless pieces under the powerful impact, making a crisp cracking sound.

Dongard is only one-fold weak to Earthquakes, but when Dongard is underground, the effect of Earthquakes is doubled, meaning it is twice as weak to ground-type attacks, and the power of Earthquakes becomes 200.

Seeing all this, Dushe gritted his teeth and immediately shouted for Dunjia to come out, silently praying that Dunjia could survive this ordeal.

Boom, boom, boom——

The powerful seismic waves, like a surging undercurrent, relentlessly pounded the earth. The ground seemed to transform into a turbulent ocean, violently undulating and trembling. The dust that rose into the air carried a faint earthy smell, causing the surrounding spectators to cough involuntarily.

Amidst the ongoing tremors, Donjia failed to emerge from underground. Dushe, frantic with worry, cupped his hands to his mouth and cried out again, his voice filled with anxiety and concern: "Donjia! Donjia! Come out quickly!"

However, all that answered him was the incessant roar of the earthquake.

Upon seeing this, the referee immediately waved his small flag high and shouted, "Blastoise, stop attacking!"

The referee's voice echoed across the field, carrying an unquestionable authority. Blastoise, upon hearing the command, slowly stopped stomping on the ground, but the aftershocks continued.

As the rescue sprites rushed to the scene, they quickly dug into the ground with their nimble claws.

Before long, an unconscious Donka appeared before everyone. The Donka's once hard shell was covered with dust and scratches, its limbs were limp and powerless, its eyes were closed, and it had lost its former vitality.

"Dongreh is unable to battle. Please recall Dongreh and send out your next battle Pokémon." The referee announced the result of the match with a serious expression.

"Blastoise, Blastoise, Blastoise..."

Seeing Blastoise win battle after battle, the audience spontaneously and enthusiastically shouted Blastoise's name...
