Pokémon: Master System.

Xia Yu frowned as he watched this scene, surprised by Duolongqi's choice.

It was an extremely risky move for Doronki to use the full power of Dragon Star Dance even though he knew that Sceptile King still had the Protect ability.

It's important to understand that reality is different from games. In games, if Draco uses Draco Meteor and it's blocked by Sceptile's Protect move, its Special Attack won't drop drastically.

In reality, however, it's different. As long as Dragapult uses Draco Meteor, Dragapult's Special Attack will drop drastically regardless of whether Sceptile uses Protect.

Therefore, Dragon Star Cluster is usually used as a finishing move and not used so early in the game.

Xia Yu is puzzled by Duolongqi's choice to use the Dragon Star Cluster.

It does this either because it intends to completely abandon special attacks and use physical attacks to fight the Sceptile after Swords Dance, or it is to force the Sceptile to use its Protect move!

Xia Yu immediately thought of the spell skill that Doronchi used during the finals!

(Many people may not know that in the game, spellcasting skills cannot be blocked or have their defenses read. This book has made a special change: spellcasting skills can be blocked by guard skills, but they still ignore substitutes, magic cloaks, and magic defenses.)

It seems that Doronchi wants to win this match by relying on his magic skills.

Now it's up to the Lizard King to make his choice.

Whether to withstand a burst of Dragon Star or use a defensive skill, it's a difficult choice for the Lizard King.

Faced with the dragon stars descending from the sky, the Lizard King instinctively used its Guard skill at this moment!

A shield of light appeared, blocking the meteorite falling from the sky and protecting the Lizard King from harm.

Chapter 453 Immobilization Technique

At that moment, an astonishing Ghost-type energy erupted from Dronki's body. The dense Ghost-type energy spread outwards like the night sky, dyeing the sky a dark purple.

Compared to his control over Dragon-type energy, Dragapult, having absorbed the Ghost-type core energy from the Broken Judgment Pot, has a significantly higher affinity for Ghost-type energy and is much stronger!

At this moment, Dragapult demonstrates the power of its Ghost-type Pokémon.

"Spell!"

As Xia Yu expected, Duolongqi indeed chose to use a spell skill at this moment.

In 1v1 battles, the Cursed moves used by Ghost-type Pokémon are undoubtedly an extremely powerful and annoying move. Since you can't switch Pokémon, your opponent has to keep taking damage from the Cursed moves.

Doronchi successfully cast the "spell" skill at the cost of expending half of his strength.

Ghost-type energy surged from Draco's body like a ghost, seeping into Sceptile's body and beginning to steal its strength like a persistent leech.

From this moment forward, the match between Lizard King and Draco becomes a race against time. Lizard King must defeat Draco before he runs out of energy, while Draco can win the match simply by dragging things out!

"Chamo!"

The Lizard King's gaze sharpened as it sensed the Ghost-type energy raging within its body. A massive surge of Dragon-type energy erupted from its entire body, its wrists covered in dense Dragon-type energy that transformed into enormous claws. With a sudden burst of power, it lunged at Draco!

However, at that moment, another dimensional portal appeared behind Doronchi. Facing the Lizard King's fierce attack, Doronchi took the initiative and escaped into the dimensional space before the Lizard King's attack arrived.

"Surprise attack!"

At this moment, Doronchi used the normal version of the Spirit Strike. The normal version of Spirit Strike is very similar to the Dimensional Strike, both of which involve entering the dimensional space first and then launching an attack.

However, the two skills have a fundamental difference: the normal version of Spirit Strike requires charging for a period of time in another dimension before launching an attack, while Dimensional Strike is an instantaneous attack.

Having mastered both skills, Doryuki can choose how long he stays in the alternate dimension.

Of course, you can't stay in the other dimension for too long, or you might get lost in it.

After dodging the Lizard King's dragon claw attack, the Dragon Prodigy opened a dimensional portal to the Lizard King's side and launched an attack!

The ever-vigilant Lizard King reacted the instant Doronchi appeared, wielding its dragon claws and colliding with Doronchi's body.

"boom!"

The collision of Ghost and Dragon-type energies stirred up a wave of energy. In this round of combat, Sceptile had a slight advantage, but it did not cause any damage to Dragapult.

At the same time, the spells were constantly tormenting the Lizard King, draining its strength.

The urgency of time kept the Lizard King from pausing for even a moment, and also prevented Doronchi from having the chance to hide in the other dimension.

Dragon-type energy surged from the Lizard King's body once again, and endless dragon-type energy rapidly converged in front of it. In just one breath, a dragon-shaped energy shockwave had already taken shape!

"boom!"

Dragon Wave!

A light shield appeared, directly blocking the Lizard King's dragon energy.

The instant the light shield dissipated, another interdimensional portal appeared in front of Doronchi, and it once again entered the interdimensional space.

The combination of stealth attacks, defense, stealth attacks, and the torment of curses formed Doronki's tactics at this moment.

It has to be said that Dornchi's tactic was quite disgusting, and a bit shameless and dishonest.

This is practically a carbon copy of the Poison Substitute technique. Xia Yu suddenly had a bold idea: what if Poison Substitute, combined with curses and a surprise attack, could drive the opponent to the brink of collapse?

Wait a minute? My own Doraki clearly has the ability to defeat the enemy, so why use such a shameless tactic?

…………

The Lizard King frowned slightly as it watched Doraki dive into the other dimension once again, but its reaction was extremely fast. A dazzling fluorescent green light suddenly burst forth from its body, and grass-type energy surged and gathered around its body, like fireflies, nourishing its body.

Photosynthesis!

Although it is nighttime and photosynthesis is extremely ineffective, it can still restore some stamina and alleviate the damage caused by spells.

Seeing this, Xia Yu nodded. The Lizard King's response was quite good; it knew to use photosynthesis to offset the damage from the spell.

However, it is still inexperienced and its reaction is a bit slow. If it had used the Grassy Terrain skill when it used Spirit Sneak Attack last time, and then used the Photosynthesis skill this turn, it could have lasted for quite a while.

Just as the photosynthesis skill took effect, Doronki noticed the Lizard King's actions and emerged directly from the other dimension.

This time, however, it was smarter. Instead of opening the exit around the Lizard King's body, it chose to keep its distance from the Lizard King and place itself in a relatively safe position.

Doronchi's response was also quite perfect.

Both the Lizard King and Draco performed quite well in this battle.

"Chamo!" Seeing the distance between them and Dragapult, Sceptile once again unleashed Dragon-type energy. With its limited Special Attack moves, Sceptile was forced to use Dragon Pulse again!

The Dragon Wave tore through the sky, transforming into a surging energy dragon that roared as it flew toward Dorgonki.

Having just left the alternate dimension, Doronchi is unable to use his Spirit Strike skill yet. Furthermore, he had only used his Guard skill recently, making it difficult to force a failure. Therefore, Doronchi has no choice but to use other methods to deal with the situation.

"Shadow clone!"

In that instant, Doronchi's body began to transform, and almost instantly, it split into seven or eight Doronchi.

Each of the Doraki looks exactly the same; there is no difference between them at all.

"boom!"

The Lizard King unleashed Dragon Pulse, devouring three of the Dracos, leaving five Dracos remaining.

But the Lizard King was clearly not so lucky; the real Draco was among the remaining five.

After its attack missed, the Lizard King felt the pressure increase, and time was running out. It had to find a way to defeat Draco as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, the Lizard King once again unleashed a surge of fierce Dragon-type energy. Limited by its limited moves, the Lizard King had no choice but to unleash Dragon Pulse again.

However, at that moment, Normal-type energy suddenly surged from Draco's body, flying towards Sceptile like spikes and entering Sceptile's body, directly interrupting Sceptile's use of the Dragon Pulse skill!

What is this? A spell to freeze someone?

Chapter 454 Dragon!

Xia Yu watched this scene in surprise.

Xia Yu knew about the Immobilization Technique, but he had always felt that it wasn't a very powerful skill.

This skill can only seal the opponent's last move.

Sealing a move, especially one that the opponent has already used, has a rather limited effect in a world where Pokémon can use dozens of moves.

Unless it's a core skill like sealing or defending, it's almost useless.

Xia Yu wasn't the only one who thought the Immobilize skill was useless; almost all trainers thought so. In a proper competition, you could count the number of times you saw this skill in a thousand matches on one hand.

However, this skill has a surprising use at this moment, because Sceptile's special attack moves are already scarce, and there are very few special attack ranged moves that can deal high damage to Dragon and Ghost-type Dragapult.

For example, the only high-powered special attack moves that Sceptile can learn are the Normal-type Hyper Beam and the Fighting-type Focus Blast. Aside from those, it only has Grass-type STAB moves.

Dragapult, with its Ghost-type, is immune to Fighting and Normal-type moves, including Hyper Beam and Focus Blast.

Now that the move Dragon Pulse, which is twice as effective against Dragapult, has been sealed, Sceptile will only be able to choose the weaker Dragon Breath or a high-power Grass-type STAB move.

The power of Dragon Breath is not enough, and Dragapult has double the resistance to grass!

Therefore, it would be extremely difficult for the Lizard King to defeat Doronki in a short period of time.

I must say, this move was absolutely brilliant!

As expected, there are no useless skills, only useless trainers.

Of course, this excludes skills like water splashing.
