Chapter 645: The Moment of Collapse
The Primordial Sea captain still had two ace Pokémon: a Dark/Steel-type Bisharp and a Fire/Fighting-type Infernape.
Neither of these Pokémon would fare much better against Flygon than Arbok did.
If he lost another ace, he would be done for. Arthur could essentially toy with him at will.
So even though the Primordial Sea captain knew that sending out Beartic wasn't a wise choice, and even if he won this round, this Pokémon would have no more use later, he still had to choose it.
Because if he didn't deal with the little dragonfly, he was going to get swept...
"Beartic, Icicle Crash!"
At the start, he almost roared out the command!
He was going all in!
Otherwise, he was really doomed!
"Little Dragonfly, Rock Slide!"
Both sides issued commands simultaneously again.
As a result, this time, Lady Luck rarely blew a kiss to Arthur.
The rocks from Rock Slide hit Beartic on the forehead first. This smash directly "enlightened" Beartic's shiny forehead.
As the rocks fell, Beartic seemed to hallucinate from the impact, instantly revealing a terrified expression!
Rock Slide has a chance to trigger a flinch effect!
This time, the little dragonfly's luck exploded after a long time!
Her Rock Slide triggered the flinch effect first!
The opposing Beartic was scared silly, so much so that the half-cast Icicle Crash was interrupted directly.
Just as a few icicles formed above the little dragonfly's head, the cold air dissipated hastily. What should have been an avalanche of ice shards turned into just two falling popsicles.
Smack!
The Primordial Sea captain couldn't help but slap his own face.
It's over...
What the hell!
Didn't this guy's dragon get frozen by the first Ice Beam before?
What's going on?
Who is the unlucky one here?
Does this mean I lost not only in strength and command but also in luck?
The Primordial Sea captain was now desperate.
He wanted some peace and quiet, don't ask who Peace and Quiet is...
In fact, both Rock Slide and Icicle Crash have a chance to trigger flinching, and with the same proficiency, the probability of triggering the effect is almost the same.
It's just a pity that today, the little dragonfly's luck was superior, winning the favor of Lady Luck.
While Beartic was scared into a breakdown, the little dragonfly flew across the field quickly, circling behind Beartic.
"Little Dragonfly, use Screech!"
The little dragonfly didn't rush to attack, using Screech to weaken the opponent first.
The sound waves blasted Beartic's fur apart, making the fluff on its body fly around like snow.
Weaken the enemy's defense first.
Then—
"Stone Edge from behind!"
The little dragonfly didn't fight fair, sneaking up from behind, Stone Edge piercing straight into Beartic's back!
Beartic's expression turned painful...
As a counter-pick Pokémon, it felt it was bearing a burden it shouldn't have at this level of strength...
Then turning back for an Ice Punch was its last stubbornness.
Not long after, the referee raised the flag again—
"Beartic is unable to battle!"
The little dragonfly swept two!
It's over—the Primordial Sea captain slapped his face again.
In the third round, Arthur didn't send out the little dragonfly first, but switched to Lina.
Seeing the familiar Charizard, the Primordial Sea captain instantly felt immense pressure!
He had no choice but to send out his ace Pokémon: Infernape!
Opening with Mega Evolution too, clashing head-on with Arthur!
Infernape had the Speed Boost ability, but Lina also had the exclusive Heat Wave acceleration technique!
The two Pokémon fought speed with speed, staging a battle of speed and passion under the sun, sparks flying from collisions, punches hitting flesh.
The audience shouted in satisfaction!
But while the audience watched happily, the Primordial Sea captain on the field wasn't so happy.
His tactics had seriously deviated.
This passionate offensive scene wasn't what he wanted!
On the contrary, Arthur, who still held one mid-battle switch authority, was very happy to engage in such mutual combat and damage exchange.
In the end, Lina dragged Infernape until it was scarred and exhausted, then followed a red light and leisurely returned to the Poké Ball to rest.
Arthur switched Pokémon.
He sent out Flygon again.
"Close in!"
"Infernape, Protect!"
"Stop, Dragon Dance!"
Sometimes, an adult's collapse happens in an instant.
The little dragonfly just made a forward pressing motion, not even attacking yet, and the Primordial Sea captain was scared into using Protect first.
"It's over!"
This time, not only the Primordial Sea captain couldn't help but facepalm, but even the Hoenn commentator couldn't stand it anymore.
"Sigh, clearly Flygon could have taken down Infernape with one move, but the Kubfu player chose to use reverse psychology to refresh the buff at this time!
"This is just too despairing."
The little dragonfly's previous Dragon Dance buff had expired after two rounds. This time, Arthur guessed that the opponent, in this state of mind, would probably want to stall again, calculated the opportunity, and refreshed the buff!
Infernape stood foolishly inside the Protect energy shield, penalized to stand still for three seconds.
After three seconds, the momentum was gone!
This time Arthur was truly killing the heart!
He not only deliberately let the little dragonfly take the field to claim a triple kill but also refreshed the Dragon Dance effect!
This time, more viewers began to firmly believe: this man really wants a Dragon Dance sweep!
Even Steven helplessly commented.
"Using Protect before Flygon even used a move just now was obviously a mistake. It shows his mentality has been messed up by the opponent, losing his usual calm.
"That Kubfu boy is probably deliberately creating the illusion of a sweep to apply pressure. Unfortunately, Primordial Sea probably really can't hold on."
