For such a serious player, Lu Ye would not choose to provoke him with trash talk.
After all, the Pokémon in battle is the King Swallow known as the "Bug Swallow". If it explodes, it will be no joke.
"Kou Jie!"
Gastly floated on the field aggressively, shook his head casually, and threw down his sunglasses.
Jiang Yun also took out the Poké Ball and said in a muffled voice: "Go ahead, King Yan!"
Chapter 41 Advance to the Semi-Finals
When Lu Ye saw the giant swallow with dark blue wings and scarlet markings, he had already thought of words to comfort Gastly.
Such as "Thank you, Gastly" and "It's not that we are too weak, it's that the enemy is too cunning."
Because the move panel of this big king swallow is so luxurious, it is fully worthy of the nickname "Bug Swallow".
[Big Swallow
Attributes: General + Flying
Traits: Perseverance
Moves: Call, Gathering Energy, Lightning Flash, Swallow Return, Wing Attack, High-Speed Movement]
This is obviously a physical attacker who excels in mobility.
Spreading its dark blue wings, the king swallow soared in the air and swooped down like an arrow.
"The battle has begun!" the commentator shouted, "The King Swallow was the first to use the Swallow Return move!"
As the signature skill of the king swallow, the swallow's return is impressive, with its wings and long beak emitting sharp white light.
“Puff—”
Like the sound of a balloon being cut, Gastly's stand was instantly torn apart by the sharp claws of the King Swallow!
On the judges' panel, Song Pengcheng, chairman of the city association, let out a soft "eh".
"I thought the outcome would be decided in one round, but I didn't expect Gastly to have such reaction ability."
The Psychic-type gym leader Tang Hui also nodded: "He made the judgment of the Stand instantly. This Gastly has a very sophisticated combat awareness!"
The attack missed, and Gastly had already floated to the belly of the King Swallow. Jiang Yun shouted, "Continue the Swallow Return!"
The King Swallow instantly changed direction and aimed at the Gastly below, stabbing it with its long beak like a corkscrew!
"Hold on!" Lu Ye narrowed his eyes, "Be careful of its wings!"
Facing the swooping King Swallow, Gastly instantly condensed a solid fog shield, blocking the sharp claws and immediately causing a series of sparks!
The Swallow Return failed to hit the target, but the King Swallow flapped its wings relentlessly, and its blade-like wings overlapped and swung towards Gastly!
The commentator yelled, "The killer move is on full display, this is the King Swallow's wing attack!"
However, this sure-shot attack suddenly missed.
With Lu Ye's advance warning, Gastly dodged at an astonishing speed and suddenly moved more than three meters away!
"Did I see it wrong?"
Song Pengcheng murmured, "Garsis's speed at that moment was faster than King Swallow?"
Tang Hui pondered and said, "This young man named Lu Ye should have given Gastly special speed training."
"In terms of potential distribution, Gastly's burst of extreme speed is no less than that of the Great Swallow!"
Every elf has its limits.
Therefore, how to reasonably allocate the potential of elves is a crucial course in elf training.
In game terms, Lu Ye's Gastly's effort value is at the limit speed.
Although the speed racial value of the Great Swallow is faster than that of Gastly, in comparison, Lu Ye’s training is still better!
Jiang Yun seemed to realize this as well, his expression changed slightly: "Great King Yan, move at high speed!"
Gastly has no moves that can threaten King Swallow.
Although there are risks, as long as I can be faster than Gastly, this game will be a foregone conclusion!
"High-speed movement is here." Lu Ye sighed, "I think you are so greedy that you want to explode!"
There was no need for Lu Ye to give any command, as Gastly obviously realized that this was a great opportunity.
There was a cry of surprise from the audience.
"Why did the King Swallow suddenly fall down?"
"This Gastly can actually hypnotize people?"
The royal swallow was circling in the air, and a cluster of hazy beams of light was aimed at the royal swallow.
The hypnosis shot out from Gastly's eyes and hit directly!
"Hiss!"
The king swallow fell to the ground suddenly, uttered a scream, and its eyelids gradually closed dizzily.
This sudden change shocked everyone present.
It was clearly King Swallow who was suppressing Gastly just now.
Why, the situation suddenly reversed?!
"This kid actually has the skill of hypnosis!" Song Pengcheng opened his eyes wide.
"I haven't seen him show his talent before the quarterfinals." Tang Hui said with emotion.
"Young people nowadays really like to play tactics more and more!"
Even though the hypnosis hit, Gastly didn't have much time left.
Turning his head to look at Lu Ye, Gastly tilted his head tentatively, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Use it if you want." Lu Ye said helplessly, "You don't have any other tricks anyway."
"Koujie!" Gastly's eyes lit up with excitement.
This is the first time Gastly has used poison since his training.
Gastly puffed up his cheeks, took a deep breath, and widened his eyes. At the same time, a thick green mist came out of Gastly's mouth!
"Is this... highly poisonous?"
On the judges' bench, Song Pengcheng murmured, "It looks a bit creepy."
There was also a hint of embarrassment in Tang Hui's smile.
"Maybe, Lu Ye really has a chance of winning!"
The giant swallow shrouded in poisonous fog turned blue all over.
But the next moment, the King Swallow suddenly opened his eyes.
It was as if there was a belief burning in its pupils.
Perseverance characteristic triggered!
"That's it, Great King Yan!" Jiang Yun clenched his fists tightly and shouted, "Use Yan Fan!"
"Hiss!"
The atmosphere in the whole venue seemed to be ignited, and the King Swallow rushed towards Gastly without hesitation, with its wings shining with sharp cold light!
Lu Ye was confused.
It's obvious that I'm the one at a disadvantage!
"Gars, hold on!"
The King Swallow crashed into the indestructible fog shield with a thud.
Everyone swallowed, as if they could hear the sound of the king swallow's wings breaking.
"Keep hypnotizing!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the king swallow woke up and was hypnotized.
If hypnosis doesn't work, use the method of holding on to delay time, and then continue to use hypnosis.
The giant swallow was covered in purple, staring with white eyes and spitting white foam from its mouth.
Next to it, there was a Gastly squatting with a weird laugh, as if he was planning to hit the King Swallow with a brick as soon as it woke up.
Even the referee couldn't stand it anymore and blew the whistle.
"The winner is Lu Ye!"
The venue was silent and the audience had complicated expressions.
Aren’t we paying to watch a passionate elf battle
Although the performance of the Big Swallow is indeed very passionate...but what's going on with this Gastly!
How can one torture someone to death
"Oh my god, this is too dirty!"
"Refund, I want a refund!"
"Teacher Lu is awesome!"
Amidst a chorus of doubts.
Han Xiaoxiao, who also advanced to the semi-finals, was cheering for Lu Ye crazily.
Shen Tingzhi, who watched the entire game, seemed to have many question marks on her head.
Is there such an operation
Even the association's chairman Song Pengcheng and gym owner Tang Hui couldn't help but look at each other.
Although this is a really dirty trick...
But it is undeniable that this tactic is really effective!
"Is he really from the Finance Department?" Song Pengcheng looked strange. "Why do I feel like he's a professional trainer who has been competing for five or six years?"
"I don't know." Tang Hui shook his head.
"All I know is that he has set a new record."
Relying on Gastly, Lu Ye reversed the situation and defeated Jiang Yun from Shanghai Jiaotong University despite being at a disadvantage.
He became the first non-competitive player to advance to the semi-finals since the inception of the Pogaman Cup, breaking the historical record again!
Chapter 42: Poor Hospitality
[Wonderful first reading, BP+50]
['Defend Poison' tactic was used successfully, BP+50]
[…]
[Win the battle, evaluation: Brilliant! (BP+100)]
[Remaining BP: 470]
One battle increased more than 400 BP points, which was beyond Lu Ye's expectations.
He originally thought that Gastly was bound to lose, but he didn't expect this Big Swallow to be so weak.
"Could it be...Is it really because I trained too well?" Lu Ye muttered, rubbing his chin.
Jiang Yun, the trainer of Dawangyan, has fallen into a state of doubting his life.
"How can I keep defending?" Jiang Yun murmured, "The teacher didn't teach us to fight like this!"
Reporters swarmed over from the sidelines, spotlights flashed, and microphones were thrust directly into Lu Ye’s face.
"Can you tell me how you feel right now?"
"I heard that you are also a popular elf battle anchor. Do you have any experience you can share?"
