Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 561: Scyther vs. Gengar
After raising his hand to greet the enthusiastic audience, Ukai brought Ibrahimovic to the player stand and waited for the referee to shout the start of the game.

"This knockout match will use a normal battle field, and there are six Pokémons available. Please take your positions and release your first Pokémons together..."

When the small flag in the referee's hand fell, Yu Hai and Xiao Qian on the opposite side threw out the Poké Balls they had prepared long ago.

"Go ahead, Gengar..."

"Go ahead, Scyther..."

"Hey, I knew it would be like this," Yu Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gengar, because Xiao Qian had been using Gengar to lead the charge during this period of time.

No one has been able to crack Gengar's Death Song, and the opponent wants to use Gengar to catch the opponent by surprise and establish an early advantage.

Even digging a hole cannot avoid the Death Song, as Gengar will sneakily burrow underground and continue singing to his victims.

"The two players' first battle Pokémons have appeared. It's Scythe versus Gengar. Can Ukai's first-ever Scythe defeat Xiaoqian's undefeated Gengar?"

"Great, it's Scyther again," Xiao Qian remembered this Scyther. At that time in the Shion Gym, Scyther almost eliminated Gengar. It should not be underestimated.

"Geng Li..." Xiao Qian heard the referee shout "start". Just when she was about to tell Gengar to use his moves, she saw a blue light coming out of Scyther's body. It was staring at Gengar intently. It was using its energy to lock onto Gengar.

"What's going on? The other party didn't issue any orders at all?" Xiao Qian was still confused when she saw Scyther dancing, using Sword Dance.

This was the tactic that Ukai told Scyther. First, strengthen the attack, then the speed, and then use a sneak attack to hit Gengar's vital points.

"Something's wrong. The other party didn't say anything, but Scyther moved on its own," Xiao Qian was still very confused, but Scyther was not confused and had already moved at high speed towards Gengar.

"Oh no, Gengar, fly up and avoid it, the song of destruction..."

"Koujihei," seeing Scyther coming at him aggressively, Gengar immediately floated up and produced a black energy wave from his mouth, forming red and black energy on the opponent's body to attack it.

In the face of Gengar's singing, even though Scyther was hit, it still turned a deaf ear to it. After all, Scyther can't hear anything.

"Kou Jie?" Gengar saw that Scyther was not affected at all and was still rushing straight towards him. Since he was releasing a move just now, he missed the time to dodge.

When Scythe's sickle hit his body, Geng finally realized what was happening and let out a painful cry, then fell from the sky.

"Geng Gui, quickly become invisible," Xiao Qian was extremely anxious. That sword attack was a critical damage and it also restrained Gengar's evil attribute attacks.

As Gengar screamed in pain, his figure gradually faded and disappeared from everyone's sight. That was the unique racial talent of ghost-type Pokémon, which was invisibility.

Facing the invisible Gengar, Scyther had already prepared a way to deal with it. He crossed his sickles in front of his body and used sword dance to enhance his attack power while creating a tornado, which swept up the sandstorm on the ground and brushed Gengar out.

Facing a Scyther with concentrated energy, four-level attack enhancement, and two-level speed enhancement, as long as Gengar is exposed, a lightning-fast sword will follow.

"What's going on?" Xiao Qian couldn't understand why Yu Hai didn't say anything from beginning to end, but the Scyther moved on its own.

Moreover, facing the Song of Destruction, Scyther and Ukai were not in a hurry at all. What was going on? Something was wrong.

"Kouhee, kouhee," Gengar was once again blown out of his mouth with a mouthful of sand and gravel, spitting out the sand and gravel.

Although General, Fighting, and Ground-type attacks are immune to the floating Gengar, Rock-type attacks deal double the damage, which Gengar is not immune to. Water-type attacks also deal double the damage, which is why Gengar will be brushed out by the water jet.

"Swish," When Scyther saw Gengar in the sky, his eyes focused instantly, and he quickly flapped his wings and took off. The sickle that was shining with a cold light was already ready to go, and he chopped down at Gengar.

"Will-o'-the-wisp..."

"Kou Jie," Gengar had no time to dodge, so he could only raise his hand and release a circle of light purple will-o'-the-wisp, attacking the charging Scyther.

brush brush --

All the will-o'-the-wisp fire that came in front of Scyther was chopped apart by Scyther, and only a small amount of it fell on Scyther.

呲——

Another hidden attack hit Gengar's vitals. Gengar fell to the ground in pain, rolling on the ground and screaming in pain, with big beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He was hit twice by the sneak attack on his vital points, and it was a critical hit from the fourth-level sword dance. If he was hit a few more times, Gengar would have died.

"Geng Gui, sneak attack..." Xiao Qian planned to let Gengar take it slow. If he was hit a few more times, Gengar would be out.

"Koujie," Gengar created a black hole under his feet and squeezed his entire chubby body into it.

Seeing Gengar entering a different space to hide, Scyther fell from the sky and the sandstorm blown by Sword Dance stopped. Scyther was also breathing heavily, with flames coming out of its body, obviously in an abnormal state.

Burn (status): Every time you take an action, you will suffer damage from the burns, and each time you will lose one sixteenth of your physical strength. For Pokémon in the burned state, the damage of non-fixed damage physical moves will be halved.

"Burning state?" Yu Hai looked at the Scyther facing him and nodded to it, asking it to calm down.

Seeing him nod, Scyther also nodded gently. Thousands of words were unspoken. The bond between them could stand the test of the game. They would wait for Gengar to hide for a round before attacking.

"What's going on? Why didn't Ukai say anything the whole time? Is this some kind of silence tactic?"

"Yeah, why aren't you talking? Then how can you command the elves to fight?"

"That Scyther seems to have already severely damaged Gengar without any command..."

"Didn't you notice? Scyther was burned, but they don't seem to be in a hurry..."

"Meow, what is Scyther saying?"

"Meow, that guy is still holding on. His will is really strong. He's in a burned state, meow..."

"What's going on? He cracked the Song of Destruction?" The Four Heavenly Kings sitting on the balcony of the Heavenly King's Lounge were also puzzled by Yu Hai's performance.

"Scyther is not affected by the Song of Destruction at all," Kikuko was an experienced person with rich combat experience. She saw through this pantomime-like battle at a glance.

"Is it the sound?" Kona also noticed that the only abnormal thing from the beginning of the battle until now was the sound.

"Could it be that Scyther has blocked its ears?" Siba was secretly shocked. They had thought of breaking the Song of Destruction in this way, but the loss of strength of a Pokémon that could not be commanded was not a small loss. "From the performance of Scyther, even without command, it fought very well," Du nodded silently, praising Scyther's performance, after all, without the command of the trainer.

"Swish," Scyther felt his body being burned again. Apparently a round had passed. This was the second time it was being burned, so it was time for Gengar to come out.

Since it couldn't hear any sound, it could only be careful to guard its surroundings to prevent Gengar from suddenly appearing and attacking.

"Where is Gengar?" The host's voice was to tell Xiaoqian that if Gengar did not come out for a long time, she would be judged as the loser.

Xiao Qian also knew this and sighed helplessly. She still didn't understand why Scyther didn't give any orders and why Scyther didn't seem to be affected by the Song of Doom.

"Geng Gui, Thunder Fist..."

"Koujie, Koujie," Gengar suddenly emerged from the black hole behind Scyther, with crackling lightning in his chubby fists, and attacked Scyther's back.

But Sly Mantis, which had already been on high alert, felt as if a thorn was stabbing its back the moment the Thunder Fist appeared. Sensing the danger behind it, it quickly turned around and raised its arms to release a protective shield to defend against the move.

"How is that possible?" Xiao Qian looked at Scyther's quick reaction in disbelief. Yu Hai clearly didn't say anything, so how did Scyther know that Gengar was behind him.

This is thanks to Scyther's perception training. These sentient Pokémon take perception as commonplace, and it is too easy for them to avoid Gengar's attacks.

Just when Gengar was surprised at Scyther's quick reaction and the way it managed to defend its lightning fist, he suddenly saw Scyther's eyes narrow, and he immediately sensed danger.

brush--

"Shua," Scyther swung at Gengar the moment its defense failed, and Gengar was chopped away.

Then, Scyther chased after Gengar and swung its sickle at him repeatedly.

Gengar was hit by another slash and could only dodge with all his might, not daring to take Scyther's blade head-on.

If you defend for too long, you will lose. What's more, Gengar is not as fast as Scyther, so it is only a matter of time before he is hit.

However, now, Scyther's two slashes on Gengar are only equivalent to one slash as before, because of the burn status on his body, the damage of the move is halved.

"Shh," When Scyther was chasing Gengar, he suddenly felt burned. He was no longer able to continue chasing Gengar. He stopped and knelt on one knee, supporting his body with his sickle. He silently endured the burning sensation all over his body, waiting for the abnormal condition to pass.

"Kuai-jie," Gengar also got a chance to catch his breath. He stood on the ground and gasped for breath. Scyther's attack was too fierce. He didn't even have time to think. He just wanted to have a good rest.

"Geng Gui," Xiao Qian looked at Gengar with knife scars all over his body worriedly. She found that so much time had passed, and Scyther was completely unaffected by the Song of Doom, which meant that the Song of Doom had become ineffective.

Regardless of how ineffective the Song of Death is, Gengar is clearly no match for Scyther. If the fight continues like this, Gengar will be close to defeat. She must think of a solution as soon as possible, as time is running out.

While she was thinking, Scyther waited for the burn to pass, stood up again, and sharpened its scythe at Gengar.

Yu Hai told Scyther last night not to give Gengar a chance to breathe and to do everything possible to reduce Gengar's space for movement.

But when Scythe stood up and raised its sickle to attack, it found that it could not use sneak attacks on vital points.

But Scyther did not panic. Ukai had already anticipated this situation because Gengar's characteristic was the body of curse.

Spellbound Body: When an elf with this characteristic is attacked, there is a 30% chance that the target will be immobilized.

The immobilization state lasts for four turns. A Pokémon in the immobilization state cannot use the last move it used before entering the immobilization state.

In other words, after the power of physical attack moves was halved in the burning state, Scyther had one arm chopped off again, and could no longer use sneak attacks on vital points.

To be honest, he was trapped in the immobilization spell now, which was beyond Yu Hai's expectation. The damage from those few critical hits almost cut off half of Gengar's physical strength. Gengar was already at the end of his strength, and he would definitely win if he could keep stable.

"Swish," Scyther flapped its wings quickly again, using high-speed movement to increase its speed. It wanted to end this battle as soon as possible. The burns made it a little too vulnerable.

"Kou Jie, coming again?" When Gengar saw Scyther rushing towards him, he was already like a frightened bird and instantly went into stealth mode.

Facing Gengar's invisibility again, Scyther did not use Sword Dance this time. Instead, he crossed his sickles in front of his chest and slashed them towards the competition venue, releasing a tornado on the competition venue. It was a tornado sword move, and the purpose was still to kill Gengar.

Before the tornado spawned Gengar, Scyther knelt on one knee, and flames appeared on its body again, burning it and depleting its strength. It could only grit its teeth and endure it. This kind of damage would only get faster and faster until it could no longer bear it.

Gengar was quickly brushed out by the sandstorm caused by the tornado. Scyther could only use its own type of moves to attack Gengar. Flying type moves would deal double damage to Gengar.

"Geng Gui, hold on..."

"Kou Jie," Gengar held up the shield in the air to block Scyther's acrobatic attacks.

Since Scyther is carrying items, it cannot enjoy the double damage effect of acrobatics, but the one damage is enough since it is a basic attack after all.

Faced with Scyther's all-around attacks from up, down, left, right, front and back, Gengar's defense was quickly broken, and he was kicked like a ball by the accelerated Scyther in the air.

"Kou Jie," Gengar was no longer able to fight back. Defeat was only a matter of time. Now it all depended on who would give up first.

"Geng Gui, we share the same fate..."

"Kou Jie," Gengar heard the same fate and saw that Scyther's momentum was greatly increased, as if some buff had been added, making it even more ferocious than before.

"Oh no, the insect premonition has erupted, and the power of insect-based moves will increase," Xiao Qian thought to herself, oh no, can't she even use the same life?

"Kou Jie," seeing that Scyther was ready to kill him, Gengar immediately created eight clones, each of which emitted purple energy and hit the Scyther in the middle.

Scyther ignored the matter and looked down at the shadow below. Only a solid entity has a shadow. He immediately identified Gengar's real body and rushed straight to it, performing a final acrobatic move and slashing Gengar with the sickle.

boom--

There was an explosion in the air, and black smoke billowed out. Gengar and Scyther fell from the sky one after another, and fell into coma together.

"They share the same fate, and both Scyther and Gengar are eliminated. It's really an exciting match. Scyther can tie with Gengar without the command of the trainer. The biggest dark horse of this tournament, Ukai, has many unknown tactics. Let's look forward to the next battle together..."
