Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 56 56. Fatal Injury
Faced with the old man's sudden question, Lu Qiu and Sirona were both a little confused.

And Xia Bo also gave the two of them time to react, leaning forward without saying a word, just looking at them expectantly and waiting for a reply.

'Fire on the Charizard's Tail'

In deep thought, Lu Qiu raised his eyes to confirm with Sirona.

'Don't look at me, Sinnoh doesn't have a charizard. '

The girl spread her hands and gave an expression of 'unless you let me guess, there's nothing I can do to help'.

Pokémon like the charizard, since its initial form, Charmander, have mostly been under the control of the Kanto Alliance. It is rare to see them in the wild, and even if there are, most of them are in the wild. In protected areas where capture is prohibited.

Collecting all the information related to the fire-breathing dragon in his mind, after several times of thinking, Lu Qiu finally nodded to Xia Bo who was looking at him and said:

"I think so."

"Bam—"

Xia Bo patted his hands lightly, as if by magic, a circle of colorful smoke exploded from the palm of his hand to set off the atmosphere:
"correct answer!"

Sirona opened her mouth and applauded subconsciously.

"Then, please continue to listen to the questions." Amidst the smoke, Xia Bo twisted his long white beard on his lips, pointed sideways at Lu Qiu's forehead and said, "Excuse me, what is the premise of this 'possible'?"

This time, Lu Qiu didn't pause for thought:
"The flames on the charizard's tail represent its vitality, extreme heavy rain, and severe injuries to the point where it is incapacitated. I speculate that in this case its tail would be extinguished by the rain."

Since this information was not clearly written in the Pokémon Illustrated Book, Lu Qiu couldn't be [-]% sure.

just
"The speculation is correct. That's the truth. It's a pleasure meeting you, little friend Lu Qiu."

Xia Bo gave an affirmative answer.

He put his hand on his chest, leaned over and praised the boy in front of him: "As a kind of Pokémon that is relatively common in the Kanto Contest, do you now know the most effective way to deal with the fire-breathing dragon?"

His face was a bit ugly, and Lu Qiu chose to shake his head for this question.

Similarly, Sirona on the side also stopped her movements and looked at Xia Bo inexplicably.

"Use the strongest water-type moves you can come up with to continuously attack the flames on its tail. Although the difficulty is relatively high, once it succeeds, it will make it difficult for the fire-breathing dragon to cheer up throughout the competition. Compared with the physical As far as his injuries are concerned, the Pokémon Center cannot help him recover."

As if he didn't see the two people clenching their fists and saying nothing, Xia Bo just pushed his sunglasses and said to himself: "Even if he meets this trainer again in the follow-up competition, he will not be able to take out the fire-breathing dragon to fight you again. You know, trainers only have one real main Pokémon."

"cough."

At this time, seeing that Xia Bo was going to continue talking, Dr. Oki had no choice but to interrupt him: "This method is actually not suitable for the competition between trainers."

Pokémon will die if they are not prepared or rescued in time. Researchers will subconsciously conceal such fatal weaknesses after they are discovered, but because the effects achieved for these weaknesses are often too effective, the alliance instead Funding has increased the research efforts related to it.

Moreover, after compiling these materials into a manual and teaching them to the internal investigators, the decision makers at the top of the alliance gave it an official name:

—fatal injury.

"Even Oki you can't refute the efficiency and applicability of fatal damage."

Xia Bo said casually, and under Dr. Damu's stop, he didn't continue to entangle on this topic, "These two are the students you just told me about, Lu Qiu, and Sirona."

"Well, they came here to study from other regions, targeting researchers and trainers." Dr. Oki replied.

Looking at Lu Qiu and the others, Xia Bo couldn't help nodding, his eyes became more appreciative: "Are you interested in going to Honglian Island with me to practice for a period of time, I guarantee that your combat ability will be improved several times in a short period of time. "

"Da Mu doesn't study the duel between trainers now, but there are some things that can only be understood from real combat. I am very good at this aspect."

Dr. Damu did not deny Xia Bo's words, but nodded solemnly to Lu Qiu and the others with his hands behind his back.

Although he doesn't quite agree with the other party's academic point of view, but as one of his opponents when he was young, he knows that Xia Bo has never given up on Pokémon battles while devoting his energy to research.

Rather, he became stronger because of it.

Whether it's a rookie trainer or a strong challenger, Xia Bo, an old man who focuses on attacking weak points, is a nightmarish blocker.

"Xia Bo, I want to challenge you."

Among the old man's invitation, Sirona was the first to break the silence. Before Lu Qiu was about to say no, she took a step forward and said, "Please be sure to accept the Pokémon duel."

Seeing the sullen expression on the face of the well-behaved girl just now, Uncle Xia was not too surprised, but put away his smile and nodded: "I had the honor to talk to Dr. Mustard Lan before, as a granddaughter, you give me the same feeling as She's like that."

"Thank you."

"It seems that you are the type who agrees with Oki. To be honest, I am skeptical of the view that 'humans and Pokémon coexist peacefully'. In my opinion, that can't make the trainer stronger. But since You choose to use this method to propose a Pokémon duel, which involves ideas, and I will not just release water."

Seeing that the sharpness on Sirona's body was getting stronger and stronger, Xia Bo nodded in confirmation and reminded: "Your Pokémon will be injured, very serious injury."

Hearing the words, the girl's attitude remained unchanged, she just took off the apron in front of her, and at the same time let go of her long golden hair.

The hair is smooth and fluttering, and there is no obstacle when combing.

Seeing this, Xia Bo smiled in praise, and then turned to Lu Qiu and asked, "What about your attitude? You are a student of Kongmu, right? He didn't care about these things when he was young. You have a good understanding. Under this premise, I I have the confidence to help you take down the position of Heavenly King."

Lu Qiu shook his head and said:
"Mr. Kongmu is a very good person, at least, I respect him very much now."

When he said this, he was obviously relieved, "I am not Mr. Kongmu's student, but his assistant. Because I promised to do something with him, I came here to study with Dr. Oki."

Under the gaze of Dr. Oki, Lu Qiu said again: "I can't do what you said in the battle, that's wrong."

After the sunglasses, Xia Bo's expression suddenly sharpened:

"Go with this little girl, don't refuse, unless you are confident that you can beat Damu in a one-on-one situation."

"."

While hesitating, Sirona suddenly stretched out her finger from her side and poked his face, then clenched her fist and waved it as if cheering up.

With a clear understanding in his heart, Lu Qiu nodded and stretched out his fist as well, and touched her five fingers together:
"I won't hold you back."
