Chapter 182: Battle! Rain Team!
"Ele-chug!!!—"
Electivire let out a low roar and thrust its arms downwards with force.
"CRACK!!!—"
"BOOM!!!!—"
From the black clouds, a pillar of thunder crashed down violently!!!
Below, Su Wan's pupils constricted sharply.
So fast!!!
Thunder, as an Electric-type ultimate move with a power of 110, usually had a very obvious wind-up time. Even with the boost from the rainy weather, which reduces the casting time somewhat...
It shouldn't be this fast. It was nearly instantaneous.
Kingdra in the air had absolutely no time to react. It had just ascended when the thunder pillar descended.
The terrifying lightning python met the column of water supporting Kingdra in mid-air.
In just an instant, the high heat brought by the lightning evaporated the entire water curtain around Kingdra's body.
"Draaa!!!!—"
Kingdra let out a miserable wail.
"Kingdra!!!—"
Below, Su Wan cried out heart-wrenchingly, her face full of distress.
The thunder pillar dissipated.
"Thud..."
Patter patter...
The rain continued to fall steadily. In the muddy battlefield, Kingdra lay on the ground. Its scales were charred black from head to toe, and wisps of white smoke rose from its body.
Undoubtedly, it had completely lost the ability to battle.
"Ele-chug!!!—"
Electivire thumped its chest hard, the electricity on its body emitting crisp crackling sounds.
Instant KO...
Su Wan raised her Pokéball and recalled Kingdra. She then picked up another Pokéball.
"Go!! Seismitoad!!!"
Red light flew out and landed on the battlefield. A bulky Pokémon appeared, with a flat, round face, covered in large wart-like bumps on its face, arms, and back. It resembled a toad, and its appearance was truly... uncomplimentary.
Seismitoad
Level: LV.48
Type: Water/Ground
Ability: Swift Swim
Potential: B
It had to be said, Su Wan's lineup was a very typical Rain Team. Compared to 3v3, perhaps a 6v6 format would better showcase the advantages of her weather team. Her command skills were also flawless.
Her biggest mistake was probably her bad luck in the bracket, running into Kenji, the biggest "bug" in this National Collegiate League.
Seismitoad, although visually unappealing, had a base stat total of 509. Although it didn't have the Poison type, the warts on its body contained a toxin that could paralyze prey, and it could vibrate these warts to enhance the power of its punches.
Most importantly, possessing the Ground type made Seismitoad completely immune to Electric-type attacks.
Seismitoad, huh...
Kenji's eyes lit up. If it was Seismitoad, perhaps Electivire could have a bit more fun.
It was just surprising that such a sweet, petite girl like Su Wan would own a Pokémon like Seismitoad, whose looks could make a child cry and whose personality was quite ferocious.
"Electivire, fight in the way you like."
Kenji said softly.
As Kenji's voice fell, one could clearly feel Electivire on the field become even more hyper. Even the electricity jumping across its body became more violent.
"Oh?? Contestant Kenji has actually relinquished direct command over Electivire!"
"Let's watch together! What kind of spectacular performance will Electivire show fighting on its own?!"
With a bang, Electivire used Quick Attack directly, charging toward Seismitoad.
"Seismitoad! Use Mud Shot!!!—"
"Guh!!!—"
Seismitoad roared and opened its mouth, shooting a column of sludge directly at Electivire.
"Ele-chug!!!—"
Facing the Mud Shot, which was super effective against it, Electivire didn't dodge. It gathered all its strength and smashed straight into the incoming mud!
Strength!!!—
"THUD!!!—"
Under the terrifying impact, the mud column collapsed instantly.
Transforming into a bolt of lightning, Electivire rushed right in front of Seismitoad.
The next moment, Electivire's fist surged with rolling thunder, and it threw a punch directly at Seismitoad.
"BANG!!!—"
"Electivire used Thunder Punch!!!"
"Against the Ground-type Seismitoad, Electivire's Thunder Punch! It has no effect!" Forrest exclaimed from above.
And that was indeed the fact. The power of moves used by Pokémon mostly came from the elemental energy contained within them.
The Electric-type energy in the Thunder Punch couldn't cause any damage to Seismitoad. Therefore, this Thunder Punch didn't bring too much harm to Seismitoad... elementally speaking.
"Power-Up Punch!!—"
Seismitoad raised its hand and threw a punch, the warts on its fist vibrating.
Electivire moved agilely, easily dodging Seismitoad's attack, and then smashed another Thunder Punch into it.
Just then, the rainy weather ended, and the dark clouds dispersed.
Losing the boost from the Swift Swim ability, Seismitoad's already clumsy movements became even slower. It thoroughly became a punching bag for Electivire.
Punch after punch, the Thunder Punches slammed heavily onto Seismitoad's body.
Even if the Electric energy within the Thunder Punch couldn't cause damage, Electivire's physical strength was immense.
If Thunder Punch was compared to a fist wearing brass knuckles, then a Thunder Punch without the electric damage was just the fist without the knuckles.
Heavy, sandbag-sized fists rained down, making Seismitoad scream in misery, its head spinning.
Electivire became more and more excited, punching faster and faster with each strike.
