Damn it! Why is this Lao Liu bullying me again?

Chapter 45 Challenge the Gym

As expected of the gym director, Sun Yalong can actually control the sand hiding time of his Pokémon in sandstorm weather.

Gardevoir suffered this loss several times, and finally couldn't withstand the iron head of Garchomp's Tooth and lost its combat ability.

After Gardevoir was defeated, the challenger sent out Kog'Maw, who was a combination of Steel + Fairy.

Although the mega-evolved Kog'Maw is very handsome and very aggressive, its slow speed is a fatal flaw. Facing the elusive digging skill of the Sharptooth Land Shark, it was completely useless and was carried away without any injury.

The last Pokémon of the challenger was Marillion, known as the dragon slayer. Although she managed to take down the already low-health Shark with her water cannon, she was defeated by the claws of Diglett.

Sun Yalong also has a red-quality dragon-headed hamster!

[Digbat; underground Pokémon; level 35; ground + steel attribute; special; afraid of loneliness; 2V; red]

[Skills: Iron Head, Tile Splitting, Digging, Sword Dance]

Zhao Chao had never known about this before, or rather, very few people knew about it.

Is this old Deng really good at hiding?

The Diglett that can evolve at level 31 does meet the gym leader's Pokémon level requirements, but is it shameless for Diglett to appear in this situation?

With the attack power of the dragon-headed gopher combined with the fighting skills of the curator, it is no wonder that some people on the Internet gave Sun Yalong the nickname "Hell's Goalkeeper".

The key is that this dragon head hamster has a hidden characteristic - breaking the rules.

[Exception: When a Pokémon with this characteristic uses a move, it can invalidate the characteristics of the target itself, the target's companion, and part of its own companions.]

I can only say that I was lucky that I didn’t choose Mama Eel King, otherwise I would have been suppressed by blood.

Come to think of it, the growth cycle of the dragon type is long, and the level of the intermediate gym is generally 35. It is reasonable to form a dragon-headed hamster that can evolve at level 31.

After lunch, he went shopping and replenished his daily necessities. It was finally time for Zhao Chao’s first gym challenge in his life.

"The Yalong Gym Challenge begins now. Challenger Zhao Chao vs. Gym Director Sun Yalong. The rules of the battle are 3v3. When all the Pokémons of one side lose their combat capability, the other side wins!

Dominant Pokémon are not allowed to be used in the competition. They can only be used once and are limited to one of the following: Mega Evolution, Gigantamax, or Z-Move.

The battle begins! "

"Go, ultrasonic larvae!" Curator Sun Yalong threw out his own elf first.

It is indeed the earliest earth dragon!

[Sonic Larva; Vibration Pokémon; Level 35; Ground + Dragon; Float; Sloppy; 1V; Orange]

[Skills: Dragon Breath, Dragon Tail, Earthquake, Sandstorm]

The Earth Dragon uses its dual system as its main means of output, with a very standard moveset.

"In that case, Gyarados! It's decided to be you!"

The red Gyarados leaped out of the ball.

[Gyarados (Shiny); Evil Pokémon; Level 40; Water + Flying; Intimidation, Overconfidence (+ Electric Engine); Stubborn; 2V; Purple]

[Skills: Waterfall Climbing, Crushing, Scale Shot, Dragon Dance]

Gyarados was already level 44 and could have learned Storm, but Storm is a special attack skill and Gyarados's special attack is not very good, so Zhao Chao did not let Gyarados learn it.

"Xiaochao, your Gyarados is well trained. It's much better than that brat of mine."

Sun Yalong started chatting with Zhao Chao about family matters.

"Uncle Sun, be careful!"

If Sun Yalong wasn't such a naughty boy, Zhao Chao might really believe that he cared about him.

Gyarados, who was in tune with Zhao Chao's thoughts, roared at the Supersonic Larva, and the Supersonic Larva's momentum obviously dropped a little.

Activate the Intimidate feature! Ultrasonic Larva's physical attack is reduced by 1 level.

"Ultrasonic larvae! Sandstorm!" Seeing that he had been discovered, Sun Yalong simply stopped pretending and took action directly.

The ultrasonic larva is not in its complete form to begin with, and now its physical attack has been reduced, making it no longer suitable for a head-on fight.

"Gyarados! Scale Shot!"

When I encountered the Desert Dragonfly Lord before, I could resist Gyarados's Scale Shot, but now it's just the Ultrasonic Larva and I can't dodge it at all.

All five scaly shots hit the target! Before the Water Dragon Crown's suppression could be resolved, the Ultrasonic Larva lost its ability to fight.

"Sonic Larva loses the ability to fight! Gyarados wins!"

[Ding, received emotion value +100 from Sun Yalong]

"Well done, Ultrasonic Larva. Next is your turn! Dragon Head Hamster!"

Sun Yalong was also courageous. He made a bold decision and abandoned the ultrasonic larvae just to create a sandstorm for the elves behind him.

Sand and stones flew everywhere, causing some damage to Gyarados, but it was still within the tolerable range.

However, there were sudden changes on both sides of the field. The speed of Diglett was obviously much faster, and Gyarados's momentum also increased.

"Dual characteristics! Is the second characteristic to shift sand?"

[Sand Shifting: In sandstorm weather, the speed capability is doubled.]

"Doesn't your Gyarados have two traits? The second trait is overconfidence, right?"

As expected of the gym director, his insight is really sharp. He could even sense that Gyarados only increased his physical attack a little bit.

"Gyarados! Scale Shot! Indiscriminate Shooting!"

Zhao Chao took the initiative and ordered Gyarados to launch Scale Shot.

"Dragon head gopher! Dig a hole!"

"Take off, use Dragon Dance!"

The range of the digging attack is limited, and you can avoid the digging attack by flying to a certain height.

"Use Sword Dance in the cave!"

Gyarados' speed is already lower than Diglett's, and the opponent also has the bonus of sand-moving. Zhao Chao is not stupid enough to play a chase game with the opponent.

"Keep using Dragon Dance!"

The second sandstorm hit, and Gyarados lost some of its energy again.

In this way, Gyarados and Diglett were wary of each other, and neither of them was willing to take action first.

Just after Gyarados suffered the fifth sandstorm damage, the sandstorm still showed no signs of dissipating.

"Sandy rocks for the sonic larvae?"

[Sand Rock: For traits and moves that can cause sandstorms, extend the duration of sandstorms by 60%]

"Did you find out?" Sun Yalong was still complacent.

"It doesn't matter. I can wait." Zhao Chao didn't care.

Zhao Chao knew that Sun Yalong was just pretending to be calm in order to lure him into taking the initiative.

Because even with the bonus of sandy rocks, the sandstorm weather can only reduce Gyarados's health by half at most.

But if Zhao Chao arrogantly takes the initiative to attack, it will be easy for the Dragon Head Rat to take the initiative.

The enhanced dragon-headed hamster is no joke.

However, once the sandstorm ends and Diglett's speed returns to normal, it will no longer be able to catch up with Gyarados's speed.

At that time, Gyarados's physical attack level will easily take down Diglett.

[Ding, received emotion value +200 from Sun Yalong]

Huh? 200 points! That high?

The sandstorm gradually subsided, and the dragon-headed mole was still in the burrow.

"Gyarados, good opportunity, use the waterfall to pour water into the cave! Be careful!"

The time has come! Start harvesting!

"Dragon Head Rat, Tietou, find a chance and solve it!"

Sun Yalong knew that the possibility of success was slim, but he still had to try.

What if I see a ghost?

As it turned out, Sun Yalong did not see a ghost.

When the cave was filled with water, the tap-head hamster was washed out of the cave.

What came towards us was Gyarados' second waterfall climb.

As if to vent its anger after suffering from the sandstorm for so long, the waterfall created by Gyarados was almost twice as thick as the previous one.

The dragon-headed mole was ultimately unable to withstand the damage of climbing the waterfall and directly lost its ability to fight.

"Dragon Rat is incapable of fighting! Gyarados wins!"

[Ding, received emotion value +200 from Sun Yalong]

Because Gyarados's physical attack has been strengthened to the limit, it was unable to activate Overconfidence after defeating Diglett.

"Dragon Head Hamster, you have worked very hard!"

Dragon Head Hamster: I'll try my best, you *****.

I only dug the hole once during the whole process, and then I didn't dare to stick my head out. If I had struggled a little, it wouldn't have been so frustrating.

"The third one is decided to be you! Sharptooth Land Shark!"

[Gangster; Cave Pokémon; Level 35; Dragon + Ground; Sand Hidden; Stubborn; 1V; Pink]

[Skills: Lightning Fang, Rock Slide, Digging, Sandstorm]

It turned out not to be the one from this morning!

Skills can be changed, but the quality cannot be reduced.

Wow, he is worthy of being the old naughty boy Sun Yalong.

The same fanged land shark is prepared to target different opponents, right?

"Gyarados! Scale Shot!"

"Fangtooth land shark! Dig a hole!"

Wow, familiar recipe, familiar taste.

"Climb the waterfall!"

"Get out! Use Sandstorm!"
