Chapter 533: Top of the Gym League (2)
Dong Qingping was secretly alarmed. Wang Qiyi's Pokémon had become even stronger than it had been three days ago. This growth rate was too rapid, truly changing every day. He had no choice but to resort to his backup plan. He replaced Stone with another trainer from the Boulder Gym, Electric-type Dragonite, who immediately mega-evolved.
The retained Zapdos is to deal with Gyarados and Bloodwing Dragonite, both of which are restrained by the electric type. Moreover, this Zapdos was originally a legendary peak combat power, and after super evolution, it reached the legendary threshold. The electric skills released by the legendary Zapdos will definitely cause heavy damage to Gyarados and Bloodwing Dragonite.
Unfortunately, these people still don't understand Pokémon as well as Wang Qiyi does. Draco evolved from the Electric-type Meerua, and had always only had Electric attributes, but after Mega Evolving, it gained Dragon attributes. Mega Evolution is only just becoming popular around the world these days, and trainers don't really understand the changes in Pokémon's attributes after Mega Evolution. They only know that Mega Evolution significantly increases a Pokémon's combat power.
The electric dragon with dragon attributes will suffer double damage when facing Dracula's dragon skills. Before it can use its electric skills to severely damage the opponent, it is seriously injured by Dracula's Dragon God Dive. This is beyond Dong Qingping's expectations. He didn't expect that his super-evolved electric dragon would be so vulnerable in front of the Bloodwing Dragon.
"This shouldn't be possible!" The Dragonite trainer was incredulous. "My Dragonite's defense can't be this weak. How could a Legendary-level warrior be knocked down by a single skill?"
"It's a restraining skill that causes double damage!" Dong Qingping saw the clue.
"The Electric Dragon is Electric, and is countered by Ground. Didn't the Bloodwing Dragon just now use any Ground-type moves?"
"The move just now was Dragon God Dive. Could it be that the super evolved Electric Dragon has dragon attributes?" Dong Qingping just thought of this possibility, but it was too late.
Pokémon have eighteen attributes, and the number of skills they possess is unknown. Trainers develop new skills every day, and it's impossible to fully understand all the combination techniques. Trainers in this world don't have official guidelines for which Pokémon can master which skills, so they must learn on their own.
Humanity has only been studying Pokémon for a little over a hundred years, and there's still a lot to explore. Therefore, in addition to improving their own Pokémon's strength, it's crucial for trainers to understand all Pokémon types, including their attribute counters, skill attributes, the effects of transformation skills, Pokémon traits, and more.
Seeing the incapacitated Thunder Dragon, Dong Qingping shook his head and smiled bitterly. His loss this round wasn't unfair. Wang Qiyi had discovered Mega Evolution, and he hadn't even done his homework on the changes to Thunder Dragon's attributes after Mega Evolution. That was truly careless. Mega Evolution was still being researched around the world, and if he wanted to understand the Mega Evolution status of all Pokémon, he'd probably have to figure it out on his own.
After Wang Qiyi won the two-on-two match, he remained in the third three-on-three match. Dong Qingping was stunned. He assumed Wang Qiyi wouldn't play the third match. After all, they had already lost the first match, and if Deep Blue Gym wanted to win, they would have to play a fourth five-on-five match. Since Wang Qiyi had won the second match, the third match became unimportant and should be left to his teammates.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qiyi stayed in the arena for the third match, while the three trainers from the Gym came out. Although they were all legendary trainers, the strength of their Pokémon was much weaker than Dong Qingping's. They were Aggron, Rhydon, and Garchomp.
Seeing the appearance of the Stygmaw, Wang Qiyi was stunned for a moment. This creature must be a Fossil Pokémon. Ever since he and Xiao Li created the Fossil Revival Device, Fossil Pokémon had been born into this world, and indeed, many trainers had begun to capture and train Fossil Pokémon. However, Fossil Pokémon were still relatively new, and high-level Pokémon were still rare. Now, in this high-end game, seeing a high-level Legendary Stygmaw, it showed that this Stygmaw was growing rapidly and had extremely high talent.
Besides Wang Qiyi, the Deep Blue Gym had another supporter: his former partner, Jin Zongze. Wang Qiyi sent out Jerry and Hoopa, while Jin Zongze sent out Xorbat. Hoopa's strange spatial abilities and Jerry's terrifying Z-Move, Avalokitesvara, left a deep impression on everyone. Facing these two Pokémon simultaneously, the trainers at the Boulder Gym felt a bit unsure.
They were a little scared when they saw Wang Qiyi. This guy seemed to have never lost since joining the Gym League. Even the God of War Dong Qingping had been defeated by him. How could these unknown people like them possibly beat him? In fact, the three trainers of the Boulder Gym, Dong Yuzhen, Lin Heran, and Chen Zesong, were all famous and legendary trainers in Hunan Province. How could they be unknown people? They just didn't have the same reputation as Dong Qingping.
Among the legendary trainers, these three were quite strong, at least ranked above average, and definitely much stronger than Director Fei from Zhejiang University. However, their trump cards were completely vulnerable to Jerry, and coupled with Hoopa's spatial abilities, Jerry's attacks became even more elusive.
Crossbat's role on the field is to create noise. Its Normal-type transformation skill, Screech, emits a sharp, piercing sound, acting as a sonic hypnosis that reduces the opponent's physical defense. Rock-type Pokémon already have relatively high defense, so using Screech to apply a negative buff to the opponent, combined with Jerry and Hoopa's teleport, quickly defeated all four of the opponent's Pokémon, including the substitute.
Not a single elf fell on our side.
Dong Qingping was helpless; the next match would be a five-on-five match. He only had seven Pokémon, two of whom had just appeared. The fourth match would mean all of them would be in action: Pteranodon, Tortoise, Saltrock, Diglett, and Garchomp. He also needed a backup, and Guo Ziyang, the captain of the Boulder Gym, was in charge, so there were only two of them on the field.
"Wang Qiyi is alone. Should we use tactics to sneak attack the trainer?" Guo Ziyang asked.
Dong Qingping shook his head. "I don't like this tactic. Although the Gym League has this rule, I prefer to let my Pokémon fight their opponents in a fair duel."
Guo Ziyang sighed, "Brother Dong, having Pokémon protect their trainers is part of the strategy. It's not something shameful or despicable. Didn't Wang Qiyi's Chino Chinchilla sneak attack you in the first game? You couldn't even use your backup Pokémon."
"Have you seen his Pokémon called Hoopa in the third game? Do you think it would be easier for him to use the sneak attack tactic on the trainer with that Pokémon?"
Guo Ziyang thought about it and realized that it was true. Wang Qiyi had never let Hoopa use his extra-dimensional skills to sneak attack the trainers. Otherwise, Hoopa's appearance would really be like a bug, and no trainer could withstand Hoopa's sneak attack.
"Wang Qiyi has already sent out four Pokémon: Gyarados, Bloodwing, Hoopa, and Chinchilla. Why is he still playing alone in this final five-on-five match? Where did he get five Pokémon?" Just when Dong Qingping was still puzzled, the five Pokémon in front of Wang Qiyi appeared.
Infernape Goku, Togekiss Eggman, and Mewtwo Squishy. This time, it debuted in Mewtwo form because Wang Qiyi told it not to use its full power as Goku's golden cudgel this time, as Goku had his own trump card to use. The last two were Slowking and Bulbasaur Hanabuntae, who had just been taken over.
The huge body of Bunta appeared in the canyon, causing the audience watching from afar on the mountain to exclaim: "This Bulbasaur is too big! It's the size of a large truck, and the tree flowers on its back are as tall as a two-story building!"
"A-Dai, the command of the battlefield is now handed over to you. You command these three guys, and I will take care of Goku." Wang Qiyi took his stance. He was going to try Goku's fighting Z move to see if he could use it.
"It's really a headache." Ah Dai touched his head.
