Chapter 232 I Used to Like Zoroark but Now I Like Him Even More (8k)

Chapter 232 I used to like Zoroark. Now I like him even more (8k)

Xia Chen was a little surprised at Red's choice.

Let Pikachu use Lightning Charge again so soon?

He thought Red would deal with it for a while or switch to other Pokémon before thinking of a way to crack Shadow Clone's tactics.

Or, has he already thought of a way to crack it?

That should be the case.

The reckless version of Red is not capable of reaching the finals in this tournament without an absolute crushing strength.

So, what is Red's way to crack it?

Xia Chen doesn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally can't guess his opponent's thoughts, but now he is in the upper hand, and it doesn't make sense for him to give up the existing tactics for unknown reasons.

Secretly alerting himself, Xia Chen silently watched every detail on the battlefield, ready to command on the spot at any time.

On the battlefield.

Although he was seriously injured, Pikachu relied on his strong willpower and still approached Senbu at the same speed as before.

And Xianbu also used the same trick, setting up a "formation" consisting of his own body and two clones.

Real and fake, true and false, even Xia Chen, who is very familiar with Xianbu, can't tell them apart just from the appearance.

Seeing that Pikachu is only a sprint away from the nearest Xianbu, Chihong finally issued an order.

"Pikachu, use the electric net!"

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows, wanting to use a range-type move to disperse Xianbu's clones?

Thinking so simply, isn't it a bit too contemptuous of himself and Xianbu?

He immediately responded: "Xianbu, run in three directions!"

Xianbu understood, and immediately manipulated the main body and clones to run in different directions.

Xia Chen wanted to play a psychological game with Chihong.

Chihong, who was at a disadvantage, had only a one-third chance of making the right choice. Once the choice was wrong, the remaining two Xianbu, one real and one fake, would attack Pikachu at the same time.

And even if Pikachu guessed correctly and hit the real Eevee with the electric net, she would respond with the power of the earth.

In short, Chihong may make money, but I, Xia Chen, will never lose!

"Pika, the one closest to you!"

Chihong's voice made Xia Chen retract his thoughts.

He focused on the field, waiting for Pikachu's guessing result with a little expectation.

Because, he didn't know which one was the real fairy cloth

...

The electric sac on Pikachu's cheek crackled, emitting a trace of electricity, which was a precursor to his release of electric moves.

In a flash, the electric energy gathered at the tip of the tail, and the bright yellow electric ball condensed instantly.

"Pika!"

Pikachu twisted his butt slightly, and the lightning-shaped tail hit the electric ball at the fairy cloth only a few steps away from him.

The electric ball stretched in the air and turned into a large net formed by electricity, covering the fairy cloth that couldn't dodge in time.

The shadow of the fairy cloth made of energy was instantly shattered.

This is fake!

Xia Chen, who was watching this scene on the sidelines, also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he would win anyway, he would definitely hope to win more, whether it was a big win or a small win.

It would be great if Xianbu could avoid being hit by this electric net that has high damage and slows down the opponent.

But you guessed wrong, it's my turn now, right?

Xianbu and Xia Chen on the battlefield are in sync.

The two Xianbu, one real and one fake, turned around at the same time, using the power of the earth. The ground under Pikachu rumbled again, and he was about to be hit by Xianbu's power of the earth again.

At the critical moment, Red suddenly shouted: "Pikachu, jump up with the electric net!"

Xia Chen was stunned. Aren't you Red? Why do you also know Xiaozhi's unique skills!

…………

"Wrong bet! Crimson and Pikachu will pay a heavy price for this reckless attempt! After taking the second power of the earth, even this Pikachu should not be able to stand it. Wait!"

"Oh my God, what did I see? Pikachu actually used the remaining electric net on the ground as a springboard, flew up briefly, and avoided the almost certain power of the earth from Xianbu!"

"It's not over yet, this is both a dodge and an attack! After Pikachu bounced up with the electric net, he rushed towards Xianbu who had just released the power of the earth. His lightning-like tail has turned into a metallic color, an iron tail!"

Although Xia Chen was indeed concentrating on the battle on the field, he still didn't react to the showmanship of Crimson and Pikachu.

The main reason was that the power of the earth had already been played, and Xia Chen wanted to change nothing in time.

He now regretted using the power of the earth just now. If it was a magic flash with a larger explosion range, even if you flew into the sky, you would still be more or less hurt.

I thought I would win no matter what, it was just a matter of whether I would win a small or a big win, but in the end I lost everything.

Looking at the iron tail falling from the sky, Xia Chen decisively commanded: "Xianbu, dodge backwards!"

Pikachu only temporarily took advantage of the reaction force of the power grid to fly into the air, and it would not really fly, and of course it could not change the established gliding trajectory.

After a simple junior high school math calculation, you can get the precise landing point of Pikachu.

Xia Chen originally thought so, but Pikachu is Pikachu after all. After discovering that Xianbu escaped from the original attack range, Pikachu actually sent a current backwards a moment before landing, and caught up with Xianbu through the reaction force!

Pikachu's speed is faster than Xianbu, not to mention the dual reaction force of the power grid and the current.

There is no way to dodge, so Xianbu simply charges up on the spot and hits a high-speed star to stop the loss.

Bang——

The explosion of high-speed stars instantly sounded on Pikachu, but this did not stop Pikachu from swinging Iron Tail.

The metallic lightning-shaped tail slammed down on Sylph, as if a thousand-pound object was falling. Accompanied by the rich and pure steel energy, the mighty force of Iron Tail made the fragile Sylph Eevee groan.

The slender legs were almost bent into a sharp angle under the heavy pressure, and Sylph was almost smashed to the ground.

But the enhancement of the ability props and the tenacious will allowed her to withstand the pressure, and also gave her the opportunity to fight back after being severely injured.

"Sylph, giant sound!"

Pikachu's flying attribute from time to time made Xia Chen dare not use the power of the earth again. Moreover, at such a close distance, the damage of the giant sound was not much different from the power of the earth.

Sylph's expression was slightly condensed, and he quickly moved the energy up to his throat.

After using Lightning Flash, Electric Grid, Iron Tail, and even the electric current, Pikachu is definitely in a state of poor physical strength. She wants to take advantage of this time to suppress his condition to the lowest!

…………

"Although the two Pokémon are small in size, the battle rhythm is very fast. After eating Iron Tail in silence, Senbu immediately counterattacked with a huge sound! At such a close distance, it is absolutely impossible to dodge! Pikachu is in danger now-Crimson player took Pikachu back!"

"Although this undoubtedly gives Senbu a chance to meditate and strengthen, it is better than eating a huge sound. Who will Red player choose to replace? Sure enough, Snorlax with extremely high special defense. Hey, wait, Xia Chen did not choose to let Senbu strengthen, he also chose to change Pokémon! It's Gardevoir!"

"No, or Zoroark transformed into Gardevoir?"

Crimson is also thinking about this problem.

Logically speaking, Snorlax's special defense is much higher than its physical defense, so Xia Chen must be the best to fight with Zoroark.

But Xia Chen is a person. Very shady.

Red had understood it deeply when they first fought him more than a year ago. What if he predicted his prediction?

Red saw Bai Mu's painful experience in the semi-finals this morning. He guessed whether it was Zoroark, but gave Zoroark the opportunity to strengthen, and finally was defeated.

So there is no need to think, let alone gamble.

Whether it is Gardevoir or Zoroark, just try out a move that can deal damage.

After thinking quickly, Red commanded: "Kirby, stomp!"

Since Snorlax learned the advanced version of Earthquake, Red rarely used Stomp, a lower-level alternative move with similar positioning but less power.

But small also has its advantages. Although it is small, it is fast.

Compared with Earthquake, the release speed of Stomp is shortened by nearly half, which is perfect for testing in this case.

But Snorlax slightly raised his leg and then stepped down. With a simple action, half of the battlefield trembled slightly due to its huge power.

The earth-yellow ground energy was injected, and along with the invisible ripples on the ground, it rushed towards the Gardevoir that stood still and seemed to be strengthened as soon as it appeared.

Although the distance between the two Pokémons was not short, the speed of energy transmission was extremely fast. Not long after, the first wave of energy waves that were trampled came to Gardevoir's feet.

In an instant, a gray mist was generated and spread around Gardevoir, covering her body.

Looking at this scene, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room seemed to have their breathing stagnated at this moment.

Is the true face of Zoroark, which has been expected for a long time, finally coming?

…………

Under the attention of the crowd, the gray mist that covered the figure slowly dissipated, and a Pokémon that no one had ever seen appeared on the battlefield.

Its figure is roughly similar to Zoroark, with a fox face and a tall human-like figure.

But in terms of appearance and color, the two are very different.

Unlike the dark gray Zoroark of the evil type, this Zoroark is grayish white with dark spots, similar to snow.

The dark red "single ponytail" tied up behind the head also spread out, and the pink and white hair swayed like flames without wind.

Her blood-red eyes suddenly opened, with a look of arrogance and evil.

Compared with the evil Zoroark, it is more mysterious and handsome.

Two seconds after the ghost Zoroark appeared, the stagnant air in the audience instantly boiled.

"Fuck!! This is a brand new version of Zoroark!"

"I used to like Zoroark very much. I like it even more now!!"

"So handsome! This appearance and this look really touch me!"

"I declare that Greninja has been demoted from the No. 1 handsome guy in my heart to the second place!"

"Wow, how to make Zoroark evolve into a ghost Zoroark, Xia Chen, tell me!"

"It's useless to know, I can't afford Zoroark."

"As long as you tell me how to evolve Zoroark, I will agree with you and Sirona!"

"I'm an elementary school student, pass it to me, I will exchange it for a green caterpillar! (Arrogant)"

At this moment, regardless of the region or environment, tens of millions of people watching the live broadcast of the game were shocked by the ghost Zoroark.

Even academic masters such as Professor Oak, Professor Sora, and Dr. Bratano were the same.

Xia Chen, you really discovered a new branch of Pokémon evolution!

At this moment, people who don't know the truth still regard this as an evolutionary branch rather than a regional form.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as he’s handsome!

In the studio, the commentator and Shirona were equally amazed, but Shirona smiled with more satisfaction.

The commentator said with emotion: "The audience watching the live broadcast of the game, it is an honor that we will witness the history of another new elf appearing together. Thinking back to the last time, it was... well, it seems to be more than half a year ago, and it was also Xia Chen who discovered Fairy Eevee."

"Now that the elf research system is becoming more and more perfect, the evolution props and evolution methods have almost been explored, and Xia Chen can discover new elves with such efficiency. Such a talent is really amazing."

"I hope that his elf research road is just like his battle road, which has just started. I also hope that he can bring more colorful elements to the world in the future. It is a blessing of the times to have him!"

…………

After a short essay that sublimates the theme, the commentator continued his job.

"The damage of the stomp is not high, but it still broke Zoroark's illusion disguise and caused some damage. During this time, Zoroark also successfully completed the enhancement of the sword dance."

"As can be seen from the game in the morning, Zoroark's output is extremely high. Although it is definitely not so easy for her to sword dance twice in this game, Snorlax's physical defense is weak, and Zoroark still has a good chance."

"At present, Zoroark has not exposed many moves except for the sneak attack and shadow attack. Let's see what she will show when facing Snorlax who is immune to ghost attributes. Snorlax took the initiative and used earthquake!"

"Zoroark opened a crack in the different space and used the sneak attack to avoid it, but the subsequent damage of this move is ineffective against Snorlax. Is it really worth it to consume such a huge amount of energy just to avoid the earthquake?"

The release of the sneak attack requires the destruction of the existing space structure. The energy required to enter and exit the different space is even greater than that of teleportation.

Ordinary elite Pokémon can use the Phantom Attack at most three or four times in a game, which will almost exhaust the ghost energy.

Xia Chen's command seems to be a bit wasteful.

Shirona explained: "Deconstructing the Phantom Attack is equivalent to [Hold] plus [Teleport] plus one [Shadow Claw]. Achieving two of the three goals is beyond expectations. What's more, in the battle with Snorlax, the ghost energy is useless, so this Phantom Attack is completely worth it."

While Shirona was analyzing, the situation on the battlefield had changed.

Before the earthquake came, Zoroark had already drilled into the alien space, leaving only the ground to bear the power of this powerful earthquake in vain.

Snorlax narrowed his eyes and was alert to the abnormal space fluctuations around him, ready to respond to the void attack at any time.

Compared with Pikachu, Snorlax is the other extreme, with thick skin and flesh, but extremely slow.

Mainly because of his size, he can't be fast even if he wants to.

But speed and flexibility are not the same concept.

Just like the absolute speed of Senbu is not fast, but this does not prevent her from evading many moves nimbly.

Similarly, the red Snorlax is also a flexible fat man.

…………

"Zoroark came out of the space crack! But she did not rush to Snorlax, but stopped at a distance of about five meters. This distance is very clever, outside the attack range of Snorlax, but for Zoroark, it is just a moment of sprint."

"White light condensed on Zoroark's legs. Zoroark's power was a fighting move, kick down! Wow, this move is amazing. The heavier the opponent, the higher the damage. For Snorlax, if it is kicked down, it is definitely comparable to being hit in close combat!"

"Zoroark's speed is so fast! In less than half a second, she kicked towards Snorlax's lower body. She didn't want to leave any chance for the opponent to react. Oh my God, it was dodged! What did I see? Snorlax, who weighs nearly half a ton, actually jumped up and dodged. Kicked down?"

"Not yet. Snorlax, who dodged the kick, immediately turned from defense to offense. His fat body rushed directly towards Zoroark, revealing his fangs under his honest appearance, and surrounded by evil energy. He was biting him to pieces! The two elves were at loggerheads, and they used the moves that their opponents feared the most without hesitation. "

"Obviously, Zoroark was alert to Snorlax's counterattack. He rolled over to avoid Snorlax's bite. Just as he was about to launch another attack on Snorlax lying on the ground, Snorlax rolled towards her position first. "

"It's hard to imagine that facing the extremely fast Zoroark, Snorlax took the initiative to engage in a fast-paced close combat with his opponent! What's even more unimaginable is that Snorlax is not losing the upper hand at the moment! "

Xia Chen stared at the scene on the field that was about to turn into a WWE match, and felt a headache.

Red was well prepared.

Knowing that he couldn't beat Zoroark in terms of speed, he simply pulled her into the melee area where he was best at, leaving Zoroark no chance to breathe.

As for melee with Snorlax, there were few in the entire Pokémon collection that could match it, so how could Zoroark be its opponent?

The so-called random punches kill the master, that's probably it.

But Zoroark was already the best at fighting Snorlax among all his Pokémon, and Xia Chen didn't want to drag this difficult guy to the back to deal with.

Wait, there is a move that seems to be able to cause huge damage to Snorlax, but it needs some preparation.

After roughly formulating a plan in his mind, Xia Chen retracted his thoughts and commanded: "Zoroark, keep your distance first!"

To catch a big fish, you have to let the line go long.

…………

"After fighting hand-to-hand for a while, player Xia Chen found that the sword-dancing Zoroark still couldn't withstand Kirbymon's strange power, so he chose to distance himself and use long-range means to consume Kirbymon's status and magical power! How about the damage?"

"The damage doesn't seem to be very high. I can't help it. Kirby's special defense durability is stronger than physical defense, and Zoroark also strengthens its attack power. But if you keep doing damage like this, it will definitely be fun. But How could the red player allow Kirby to continuously consume it? He commanded Kirby to roll over!"

"The red player is very smart. Although Kirby moves slowly, it rolls very slowly. With its size, the rolling Kirby is like a heavy bulldozer, chasing Zoroark all the time. I have to say from behind that Kirby is really flexible. No matter which direction Zoroark runs, under the command of the red player, Kirby can change direction immediately. But Zoroark can only respond. "

After carefully performing a drama of "It's not that I want to fight you, it's that you insist on forcing me to fight with you", Xia Chen finally naturally commanded Zoroark to face Kirbymon head-on.

"Zoroark, split the tiles!"

Chi Hong did not become suspicious. From his perspective, Xia Chen really had no other choice but to deal with Kirby, who was weak in the fighting system and had high special defense. The Senbu or Gardevoir in the back row could not handle it.

While the effect of Zoroark's sword dance is still there, now is the best opportunity.

It's just that Xia Chen thinks this opportunity is exactly what he wants!

Red held up the brim of her hat and commanded loudly: "Kirby, bite it into pieces!"

At this moment, the two elves who had been at odds since their appearance finally had their first head-on confrontation.

The gray-white cursed fox touched the ground with its feet, jumped up high, and white light condensed on its right paw.

On the ground, Kirby revealed its fangs, and gray-black evil energy lingered on the sharp teeth.

The two elves did not dodge or evade, and rushed fearlessly in the direction of their opponents.

…………

"Under the relentless pursuit of Kirbymon, the two elves finally had their first head-to-head confrontation. They split the tiles and chewed them apart. They were both moves that double restrained the opponent. Looking at the power of the two moves, it seemed to be a simple matter. Luo Yake has a slight advantage, but not much, which is not good news for player Xia Chen.”

"We all say that Kirby's monster defense is weak, but that's only compared to his higher special defense. Compared to Zoroark, it's still much higher, not to mention his extremely high vitality. . Although Ghost Zoroark is a newly discovered elf, judging from her speed and attack power, her durability should not be much higher. In such a head-to-head fight, I am afraid that she will not be able to defeat Kirbymon. Teacher Sirona, What do you think?"

The commentator turned the topic to Sirona, who had not spoken for a long time.

The blonde beauty pondered for a moment and then said: "You are right, but Zoroark is an elf cultivated by Xia Chen, so I think maybe she will bring us some surprises?"

Commentary: "."

So the only reason why you are optimistic about Zoroark is that she is an elf cultivated by Xia Chen?

The character design is a bit broken, Sirona champion!

The commentator didn't know how to answer the question for a moment, so he had to continue looking at the situation on the court.

"The smell of gunpowder between the two elves is getting stronger. Kirbymon and Zoroark are still fighting hand to hand. The condition of both elves is declining visibly. But as time goes by, Kirbymon's strong physical advantage becomes more and more Obviously, Zoroark seems to be unable to hold on any longer! "

"Turn back quickly! After all, in this brutal hand-to-hand battle, player Xia Chen raised the white flag first. However, although Zoroark's performance throughout the game was a bit passive, he still made a very big contribution. The red player was the most difficult to handle for the team. The Elf Kirby was caught by her... Oh my god! Zoroark was caught by Kirby with one hand just as he was about to use the quick turn back to the Pokémon Ball! "

…………

"Well done, Kirby!"

Red, who had remained calm and collected from the beginning until now, couldn't help but cheer for Kirbymon's wonderful performance just now.

From the time Kirbymon appeared until now, the tactics formulated before the game have finally been put into perfect use.

Chihong understood that Xia Chen, the Kirby Elf, would definitely send Zoroark to deal with it, so he specially formulated this dog-skin plaster-style play method for Zoroark.

The most difficult point of this tactic is not how Kirbymon can defeat Zoroark in hand-to-hand combat, but three points.

How to force Zoroark into a situation where he has to fight Kirbymon?

How to keep her when Zoroark wants to retreat?

And, how to prevent Zoroark from counterattacking in desperate situations?

Now, the first two points have been successfully completed, and only the last one remains.

Quickly calming down her inner excitement, Chi Hong squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Zoroark, who was panting on the field, and Xia Chen whose expression was unclear behind her.

If Xia Chen wanted to keep Zoroark, then he would just use the elf ball to take it back and he would never be able to stop it.

And if he hasn't taken it back yet, he must still have the idea of ​​​​acting against himself in the end.

Therefore, the more times like this, the more we cannot relax our vigilance.

However, Chihong did not remind Kirby at this time to alert the snake. This was Xia Chen's opportunity, and it was not his own opportunity.

He believes in the bond between Kirbymon and himself.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Chihong continued to keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield.

After pulling back Zoroark, who wanted to quickly return to the Poke Ball, Kirbymon prepared to launch the final offensive.

It's still the same moves. If you have a chance, use the most restrained bite to crush the opponent. If you don't have the chance, use the farmer's three punches such as Thunder Fist.

Although there are not many tricks, for hand-to-hand combat, it is practical.

And now that Zoroark has just been captured, it is the most suitable time.

…………

"What a good opportunity, Kirbymon uses Crush! In Zoroark's condition, it should be difficult to eat this Crush. Wait, Zoroark seems to have kicked it down first! Since the first time After being kicked down and being dodged by Kirbymon, Zoroark has never used this move again. Is it because he wanted Kirbymon to put down his guard, so he only used it now?"

"Now, Kirbymon is focusing on attacking. This is Zoroark's last and best chance! With Kirbymon's state, he will never be able to withstand this powerful kick!"

"Oh - what did I see? Kirby's fat body jumped up and hid again. Oh my god, what an amazing reaction! No, this may not be a reaction, but a pre-reading that was anticipated! You give me a foot, and I'll give you a foot! After the red player failed in the game with Xia Chen, he didn't give up and pushed Zoroark into a desperate situation!"

"Zoroark didn't expect Kirby to be able to dodge the almost certain kick. He couldn't even use the stealth surprise attack. He could only watch Kirby's fangs bite down. It seems that the first one in the finals A drop of blood is about to be born!"

Seeing Kirby's crushing hit, the last big stone in Honghong's heart finally fell.

Xia Chen, I will accept the lead of the first elf!

He raised a smile on his lips, preparing to listen to the whistle that represented the elf's loss of fighting ability, but he did not notice that Zoroark's body under the Kirby beast suddenly emitted a burst of white light.

"Kirby——"

The expected whistle did not come, but Kirbymon's cry of pain reached his ears.

The red pupils shrank suddenly, and then he looked towards the battlefield in disbelief.

But in the remaining white light, the Kirby beast that was pressing Zoroark seemed to have been hit by a huge force, hanging upside down and flying a full three or four meters!

Chi Hong has never seen his Kirby beast in such a situation.

This is a Kirby that weighs nearly half a ton!

How much strength and what kind of moves are needed to knock off a monster of this weight?

Chi Hong was frantically searching for the answer in his mind, and suddenly remembered a move that he seemed to have overlooked.

…………

"Double return!"

The originally clear voice of the narrator was almost hoarse, but she still used her voice to express her excitement at the moment.

"Chi Hong is pre-reading Xia Chen, so why isn't Xia Chen pre-reading Chi Hong? Who is the hunter and who is the prey will never be determined until a certain elf falls! Whether it turns back quickly or kicks it down, it's all Xia Chen He seems to have read Chi Hong's thoughts, eating him hard every step of the way. This battle seems to be based on Xia Chen's script! "

At the end of the shouting, the commentator's voice was so hoarse that he was speechless and had to stop.

Sirona thoughtfully handed over a glass of water and continued: "Actually, I can't say that I have read it through. I can only say that Chi Hong's choice is a bit radical, and Xia Chen has too many retreats. Just like when he turned back quickly, if Chi Hong Letting Zoroark go back is an outcome acceptable to both parties, but he doesn't. In his plan, Zoroark must fall into the hands of Kirbymon."

"Of course, this does not mean that the red player's tactics are not good. If Xia Chen does not make the final move, then the bite will definitely end Zoroark. Unfortunately, there is no if on the battlefield."

While drinking water, the commentator looked at Sirona with a fangirl-like look, nodding his head crazily, not like a commentator but more like a student.

Helpless, Sirona had no choice but to continue: "If I guessed correctly, Xia Chen should have made sure that Zoroark's physical condition could withstand the last bite when he asked Zoroark to use rapid retracement. This is Complete the most basic prerequisites for the game.”

"The referee gave the result. Kirbymon lost its ability to fight, and Xia Chen temporarily took the lead in the final with a score of 1:0. However, Zoroark's condition was also very poor, and the game has not lost its suspense."

"The crimson player put on Bulbasaur and prepared to take down the disabled, but Xia Chen didn't give him any chance. He didn't even take advantage of it and quickly turned back. He directly took back Zoroark and put on Gardevoir."

"So now, the three elves of both players have been exposed. Xia Chen is Senbu, Zoroark and Gardevoir, while the red player is Pikachu, Kirby and Bulbasaur."

The commentator looked at Sirona who was explaining the game seriously, and suddenly smiled and joked: "Teacher Sirona, I found that you are very talented in commentary. How about it? Do you have any ideas to join our industry?"

Sirona looked at the young man on the battlefield and smiled slightly, "There will be a day."
