When Qingwu knew that Kuraki was a poison user, he immediately understood that Zubat's poison-type skills were essentially useless, and he also had to guard against Arbok's venomous attack.
This Kuraki was indeed a difficult opponent.
Arbok's Poison Jab was cut into several halves by Zubat's Air Slash in mid-air, but Arbok showed no fear. Instead, it provocatively glanced at Zubat.
"Supersonic!" Kuraki seized the moment Zubat looked at Arbok to give his command.
Arbok revealed a fierce expression, its eyes looking fiercely at Zubat.
"Zubat, Return!" Zubat stirred the white aura swirling around its body, flashing behind Arbok, and used Air Slash on Arbok.
Several Air Slashes directly struck Arbok's back. Arbok let out a groan, and black blood gushed from its back.
"Arbok, Poison Spit!" Purple venom dripped from Arbok's red fangs. The venom transformed into countless purple raindrops and rushed towards Zubat.
"Zubat, fly up, use Quick Attack upwards!" Qingwu gave the precise command and immediately transformed into a blue light, disappearing from the spot.
The venom lost its target and scattered on the ground, corroding countless holes in the ground and leaving white smoke.
Although Arbok was a very powerful little spirit, an absolute overlord on land, it was helpless against Zubat, who flew in the air.
After all, Arbok couldn't fly. If Qingwu had sent out Crobat, it wouldn't necessarily be Arbok's opponent.
Arbok flicked its tongue, constantly provoking Zubat.
Zubat, on the other hand, hovered in the air, checking Arbok's weakness.
Arbok couldn't do anything to Zubat, but Zubat also couldn't do anything to Arbok. However, Zubat had an advantage over Arbok because Zubat could use flying-type skills for long-range attacks.
"Zubat, just keep your distance and continuously use Air Slash on Arbok!"
Air Slash's wind blade was still effective against Arbok.
Arbok slithered in a Z-shape, dodging some of the wind blade attacks. Arbok was quickly hit by some wind blades, and fresh blood dripped from the wounds all over its body.
"Kuraki, it seems you lost," Qingwu said to Kuraki.
"It's not over until the end," Kuraki chuckled sinisterly.
"Arbok, have you been playing for so long that you've figured out Zubat's flight trajectory?" Kuraki suddenly asked Arbok.
Arbok nodded. Snakes relied on their flicking tongues to gather information from the outside world.
After these rounds of battle, Arbok had fully locked onto Zubat's movement trajectory.
"Poison Spit, Poison Tail, you understand, Arbok." Kuraki chuckled, revealing a triumphant smile. His originally pale face turned even whiter, utterly bloodless.
Arbok looked worriedly at Kuraki.
"It's alright, Arbok. Winning is our best organ." Kuraki's mouth dripped with a hint of black blood.
"Go all out, Arbok!" Kuraki's words strengthened Arbok's resolve.
Countless venom was spat from Arbok's mouth. At the same time, Arbok's tail secreted countless venom.
"Zubat, Return!" Zubat moved behind Arbok in the air. Before it could even stabilize itself, Arbok's venom-filled scythe-like tail swept horizontally towards Zubat.
"Wing Attack!" Qingwu saw that he couldn't dodge, so he could only let Zubat take this move head-on.
Zubat's wings emitted a white glow. It struck the incoming Poison Tail, but unexpectedly, Arbok was sliced in half by Wing Attack. What was going on?
(―▽―;)... (―▽―;)... (―▽―;).. Zubat was stunned. Just then, the ground suddenly cracked into several pieces, and a black shadow broke through the earth. Sharp fangs bit towards Zubat.
Zubat frantically flapped its wings, trying to fly towards the sky, but ultimately it couldn't dodge in time.
Zubat's abdomen was torn open by the fangs, creating a hole. Venom seeped in.
"So that's how it is." Qingwu understood Kuraki's tactics.
The "Poison Needle" was a feint. In order to lure Zubat to use Return and flash behind Arbok, Arbok had already left behind a snake skin on the field using the snake skin characteristic.
Its main body, meanwhile, had been lurking underground by digging a hole.
Taking advantage of the moment Zubat tore Arbok's skin, Arbok used its deadly poison fangs on Zubat.
Zubat's abdomen was torn open in a hurry, and venom seeped into Zubat's body.
"Clap, clap, clap!" Qingwu applauded Kuraki.
"A good scheme!" Qingwu gave a big thumbs up. The most powerful parts of Arbok were its two sharp fangs and its scythe-like tail.
As long as it was bitten by its fangs or swept by its venomous tail, the Pokémon would enter a poisoned state one hundred percent. Furthermore, since Arbok was a venomous snake cultivated by Kuraki's poisoned blood, the venom was even more perverse.
"Qingwu, surrender, otherwise your Zubat will die from poisoning. You don't have an antidote, do you?" Kuraki showed a happy smile. The throne of the first challenger was within his grasp.
Request fresh flowers.
"My dictionary doesn't have the word 'surrender.' I'd rather die standing than surrender," Qingwu said with a smile.
Fortunately, Qingwu was already prepared. He had a high-energy formula specifically for detoxification hidden in Zubat's mouth.
With his experience as a Pokémon training master, he had gathered materials on the island and made only three special energy blocks for detoxification.
"Is that so? Do you mean you want your Zubat to just rot away like that?" Kuraki's face showed a sickly smile.
"Cough, cough, cough." Kuraki covered his mouth with his hand. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat, and a mouthful of black blood was coughed out by Kuraki.
Qingwu saw that Arbok was also at its limit. It had already suffered a large amount of bleeding from Air Slash's attack, and then it shed its skin, losing a lot of vitality. At this moment, it was trembling and worriedly looking at Kuraki.
"It's time to end this. Zubat, use Wing Attack on Arbok." Qingwu gave his final command.
Zubat transformed into a blue flash of lightning. Its wings turned white after being infused with Flying-type energy, and like a whistling fighter jet, it unhesitatingly slammed into Arbok.
Arbok was hit by Wing Attack. Using its body's inertia, it slammed heavily into the wall outside the arena, collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
"How could this be?" Kuraki's pupils constricted violently. How could something that was originally a sure win suddenly be overturned by Qingwu?
Kuraki was utterly baffled. This was so mentally taxing. Kuraki immediately coughed non-stop, feeling his lungs about to burst.
Large chunks of black blood oozed from Kuraki's fingertips, dropping onto the floor.
Kuraki suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. His body involuntarily fell backward, and he heavily collapsed to the ground.
Kuraki's dazed eyes only saw Qingwu hurriedly running over, stuffing something unknown into his mouth.
A sweet, fruity scent wafted from his mouth.
"So sweet," this was Kuraki's last conscious thought. Then Kuraki fell into darkness.
"Doctor, doctor!" Qingwu frantically shouted. He only saw the yellow-haired girl beside him hurriedly run to Kuraki's side, take out a bouquet of flowers, hug Kuraki, and directly send him to the Rocket Team's base infirmary.
"Semifinals, Qingwu vs. Kuraki. Qingwu wins!" The fierce-looking official hastily announced the result after the match.
Then, Red and Green hurriedly ran to a certain place. They had just received news that their boss had arrived at the training base not long ago and had fully watched the battle between Qingwu and Kuraki.
