Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

#89 - Reaching the finals

“The Double Kings battle, this match is definitely going to be exciting.”

“Iron Armor Rhinoceros is Liu Li's trump card Pokémon.”

Iron Armor Rhinoceros's hooves pawed at the ground, its body shimmering with silvery-white light, its aura constantly increasing, exuding a mountain-like pressure.

Shallow pits appeared on the ground, and two streams of white gas puffed out of Iron Armor Rhinoceros's nostrils.

The sharp horn emitted a cold gleam under the sunlight.

Facing Delibird, its former opponent, Iron Armor Rhinoceros was determined to defeat it.

Since being defeated by Delibird last time, Iron Armor Rhinoceros had been training like crazy.

It was looking forward to thoroughly defeating Delibird in front of everyone.

Liu Li smiled, Xia Mu, you probably don't know, Iron Armor Rhinoceros has been training like a maniac, just so that one day, it can defeat Delibird head-on and regain its face.

Xia Mu's gaze was on Iron Armor Rhinoceros's glittering armor.

“I just saw Iron Armor Rhinoceros's back flash.”

“It seems this Iron Armor Rhinoceros just used Iron Defense to enhance its defense.”

“If Delibird clashes head-on with Iron Armor Rhinoceros, it will definitely be a thankless task. I have to think of a way.”

After Iron Armor Rhinoceros used the Iron Defense skill, while increasing its defense, it also indirectly increased its attack power.

Xia Mu felt that the third round would be difficult to deal with, as Delibird did not have an advantage in terms of attributes.

The reason he sent out Delibird was also to let Delibird fight Iron Armor Rhinoceros head-on and make up for the regret of the last battle.

Iron Armor Rhinoceros is good at physical attacks and is also proficient in Ground-type skills.

Delibird is good at Fire-type attacks, its movement speed is not slow, and its movements are very flexible, which makes up for some shortcomings.

“Delibird, use Nasty Plot.”

Xia Mu planned to have Delibird use Nasty Plot first to increase its Special Attack, in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Strands of black Dark-type energy gathered on Delibird's body, and its aura suddenly changed.

“Iron Armor Rhinoceros, Swords Dance.”

Neither side was in a hurry to attack, but instead strengthened their own combat power.

“Earthquake.”

Iron Armor Rhinoceros raised its foot and slammed it heavily on the ground.

Tiny cracks quickly spread across the ground, like pieces of dry skin, constantly spreading to the surroundings.

Large patches of spiderweb-like cracks appeared.

Dust flew in the air, and even the audience sitting in the stands felt the slight tremors caused by the earthquake.

However, they were not afraid. One by one, Baltoy rushed out from hidden places, setting up psychic barriers to protect the audience's safety.

Countless rocks surged from the ground, smashing directly at Delibird.

But Delibird had already sprayed countless sparks onto the ground the moment Iron Armor Rhinoceros launched Earthquake.

The sparks rushed towards Iron Armor Rhinoceros like a rain of pear blossoms, while also lifting Delibird into the air, allowing it to successfully avoid the attack of Earthquake.

Liu Li folded her arms and smiled coldly: “I've been guarding against this move for a long time.”

“Iron Armor Rhinoceros, use Rock Blast.”

“I'd like to see how you can avoid the attack of Rock Blast in the sky without a place to borrow strength.”

Liu Li had carefully studied Delibird and meticulously recorded every battle of Xia Mu's. Behind her was also a think tank analyzing Xia Mu's battle strategies.

Her purpose was to know herself and her enemy, so as to completely defeat Xia Mu head-on.

The last time Iron Armor Rhinoceros lost to Delibird had become an unsolvable knot in Liu Li's heart.

Iron Armor Rhinoceros opened its mouth and roared to the sky, and earthy-yellow rock energy gathered on its horn.

A huge rock condensed, and it bombarded Delibird like a cannonball. The scene was familiar.

Just now, Aron attacked Skarmony in this way, except that Aron used Smack Down.

“First strike is best, Delibird.”

“Use the most powerful Flamethrower against the flying rock.”

Delibird took a deep breath, and orange-red flames spewed out of its mouth, like a roaring dragon, bombarding the rock.

The fast-flying rock was impacted by the Flamethrower, and it was immediately burned red, and there was a faint downward trend.

It instantly formed a burning fireball, staying in mid-air.

Only a few cracking sounds were heard, and the rock burst open.

Countless stones,夹裹着熊熊烈焰, fell from the sky like a meteor shower.

“Oh my god, the skill that was originally attacking Delibird was actually used by Delibird in reverse.”

“Now the power of Rock Blast has increased a lot, but this skill has turned around and attacked Iron Armor Rhinoceros.”

“Xia Mu's mind is too flexible, his judgment of the entire situation is simply amazing.”

The audience felt it was amazing. The timing was judged very well, and he also used the opponent's skills to give the opponent a heavy blow.

However, whether Iron Armor Rhinoceros avoids this skill or not, it will inevitably weaken part of Iron Armor Rhinoceros's stamina.

VIP room.

Principal Zhang and Principal Ye were sitting far apart.

Principal Zhang didn't want to see someone's ugly face, it was really annoying.

Two screens in the VIP room showed the battle scenes of two arenas.

However, Principal Ye's gaze fell on the match between Xia Mu and Liu Li.

Xia Mu's battle with Liu Li was simply a crushing defeat of Liu Li's two Pokémon.

From this, it can be judged that the champion of the City Little Phoenix Cup will inevitably be born between Xia Mu and Ye Linglong.

If the top three of the City Little Phoenix Cup are all won by students from Shenshan Middle School, this can greatly enhance the prestige of Shenshan Middle School.

The three of them are also bound to be good seedlings to hit the provincial competition.

In this way, Principal Ye can explain to the board of directors and allocate more resources to Xia Mu.

Behind Ye Linglong is the richest man in Jiaying Prefecture, the Ye family, and Liu Li is the daughter of Liu Dashan, so naturally she is not short of resources.

Only Xia Mu needs a lot of resources. It is easy to add flowers to the brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

I am willing to invest in Xia Mu, so if Xia Mu hits the provincial competition, or even the Yanhuang competition, then the ranking of Shenshan Middle School will naturally rise.

Principal Ye smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

Faced with attacks like a meteor shower falling from the sky, Iron Armor Rhinoceros raised its front hooves and stomped heavily on the ground.

The ground shook and the mountains shook, and violent shock waves spread in all directions.

All the meteor showers falling from the sky, under the impact of this shock wave, the flames dissipated, and the rubble became dust.

Dust was flying in the arena.

After Iron Armor Rhinoceros used the Earthquake skill, Delibird once again used Flamethrower under Xia Mu's command.

With the help of the Flamethrower's impact, its body flew high into the air.

The first round of the battle was a draw.

But in terms of skill usage, Iron Armor Rhinoceros fell into a disadvantage.

“Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle started, Houndour took the initiative, using Rhydon's own skill to cause trouble for Rhydon.”

“Xia Mu's tactics are well-executed.”

“He is trying to lure Rhydon into using a powerful move that consumes a lot of stamina.”

“Even for Rhydon, using Earthquake can only be done about five times at most.”

“After five times, Rhydon will become sluggish due to excessive stamina consumption.”

“After using Earthquake twice, Rhydon's movements have slowed down a bit.”

Gao Liya sat in the audience. As a professional trainer, she naturally knew what Xia Mu was planning.

“Truly a good seed to become a trainer.”

Gao Liya smiled.

With just a little training, his strength will grow geometrically.

“Houndour, use Spark to interfere with Rhydon's vision.”

Houndour opened its mouth wide, and orange-red sparks fell from the sky like fireflies.

These dense sparks fell from the sky like raindrops.

Rhydon had no way to avoid it.

In desperation, Liu Li directly issued an instruction.

“Rhydon, use Dig on the ground.”

Rhydon immediately stretched out its sharp claws and frantically dug at the ground.

In an instant, dust flew everywhere.

Rhydon quickly burrowed into the deep pit. At this time, sparks fell from the sky, and explosions continued one after another.

Houndour flew in the air, while Rhydon lurked underground.

The audience blinked their eyes. How could they fight like this?

One was flying in the sky, and the other was lurking underground.

Even the referee looked embarrassed.

How could this continue?

But Xia Mu had a slight smile on his face.

He finally got Rhydon to use this move.

Good, it was just as he expected.

Checkmate!

“Houndour, use Flamethrower on the ground with maximum power.”

A Flamethrower suddenly fell from the sky to the ground.

The audience only felt a heat wave coming towards them.

The滔天flames poured into the ground, turning the ground directly into a fiery red.

The raging flames turned the entire arena into a sea of fire.

And Houndour was like a demon guarding hell.

Rhydon felt quite tormented underground, its body scorched by the raging fire.

“Rhydon, come out quickly!”

Liu Li shouted loudly.

However, because Rhydon was hiding underground, it did not hear the instructions issued by Liu Li.

After a long time, when the ground was almost melted by the fire, the seriously injured Rhydon finally emerged from the ground.

As soon as it poked its head out, its head tilted and it directly lost its ability to fight.

“Wow, this is too frustrating, right?”

“Rhydon lost its ability to fight just like that?”

“It was directly burned by the flames.”

The students were all talking about it.

Even Principal Ye felt that Liu Li was too reckless.

If she had fought steadily, Rhydon would not have lost so miserably.

“Sigh, this time, Liu Li was a bit too eager for success.”

“The most important thing for a trainer is patience and grasping the best situation.”

“The Dig skill is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can naturally turn defeat into victory, but if used poorly, it is like confining oneself in a cage.”

Gao Liya shook her head.

In this round, the main reason was that Liu Li's mentality collapsed in the later stages.

But now, Xia Mu remembered that Liu Li seemed to have promised him before to go to the Great Earth Gym to let his Pokémon learn skills.

Now it was time to fulfill that promise.

“I lost.”

Liu Li hurriedly put Rhydon back into the Poké Ball and then turned around and left.

She wanted to send Rhydon to the Pokémon Center.

Another arena.

Ye Linglong used Farfetch'd and easily defeated her opponent's Breloom.

She and Xia Mu both entered the finals.

“Good, the finals will begin soon.”

“Now let me see your strength, Xia Mu.”

The corners of Ye Linglong's mouth turned up slightly.

She had been defeating opponents with ease all the way, and currently had a feeling of being invincible.

However, the arena where the finals were to be held had been affected by the earthquake just now, and there was a slight flaw, so the organizing committee temporarily changed the time. The finals time was changed to nine o'clock the day after tomorrow.

In addition to the finals, there will also be a third-place battle held at the same time.

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the match was postponed, he planned to change his Pokémon.

Pichu and Bulbasaur were added to his final Pokémon as backup.

The audience in the arena left one after another.

At this time, Ye Linglong walked to Xia Mu's side.

“Xia Mu, I watched the recording of your battle with Liu Li just now.”

“A strong player like Liu Li was completely crushed by you. You won the three rounds exceptionally easily.”

“Although I don't know if I am your opponent, I will bring out my strongest Pokémon and go all out.”

“I am looking forward to our match tomorrow.”

Ye Linglong said neither humble nor arrogant, revealing the domineering aura of a beautiful and sassy queen.

“Haha, I'll be waiting.”

After the match, Xia Mu did not return to school, nor did he return to the breeding house. Instead, he came to the City Forest Park. He planned to take the lead in capturing that pink Butterfree.

In the TV series version, Xiaozhi's Butterfree fell in love with the pink Butterfree, and eventually became the first Pokémon that Xiaozhi released.

The pink Butterfree naturally has extremely high value, representing that it is the result of genetic mutation. If it is properly cultivated, it will be a golden goose that lays eggs.

Especially a certain big star, who is a hardcore pink lover.

Having money and hobbies, what is this if not a fat sheep?

Xia Mu planned to scrape a thick layer of fat from a certain big star.

“Achoo.”

A certain big star, Nangong Ling, suddenly felt a chill on his back and trembled all over. He sneezed several times in a row.

“Wow, who is talking about me.”

At this time, a long, big tongue licked Nangong Ling's face, smearing him with saliva.

“Haha, Lickitung, don't be so naughty.”

Nangong Ling liked this Lickitung very much. Its combat power was indeed good, and it could skillfully use its tongue to attack.

He planned to train this Lickitung well and then severely bully that smug store manager. Nangong Ling planned to pick up the lost face.

“Boy, you wait for me. I will definitely defeat you in the area you are so proud of and regain my confidence.”

Nangong Ling clenched his fists and said vowedly.
