Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

The wounded Snorlax was half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath on his slightly fat body.

Around it were several vines planted on the ground and extending upwards, which were now entwined around its flesh.

Every five breaths, its expression would show some pain.

Then the green energy flowed into the ground along the vines and fed back to the enemy on the opposite side.

This caused Snorlax's eyes, which had been narrowed into a slit, to slightly open, and he stared angrily at the long-bud durian with a very curious shape.

The metal body is covered with sharp spikes, and three horizontal lines are regularly coiled around its body.

Yellow eyeballs stared in extremely special eye sockets, and the pupil in the center looked emotionlessly at the huge prey a few meters away.

Above its head, there are two vines swaying in the wind, seemingly casual but actually on guard at all times.

Another one is embedded behind it, quietly establishing a connection with the parasitic seed and absorbing energy.

Visible to the naked eye.

The battle is over and there is no turning back.

Wen Que stood in the contestant area with his fists clenched tightly.

Although his emotions were relatively normal, it was not difficult to clearly see the regret between his brows.

Damn it, if I had known I would have gone crazy.

It is indeed difficult for the high-health and heavy-attack Snorlax to break through the defense of the opponent's three-defense Nut Dumbbell.

Not to mention that it not only has [Leftovers], but also has the characteristic of [Iron Thorns].

It's really disgusting!

As Wen Que thought about it, his expression gradually distorted.

It's not like she had never seen the opponent's Pokémon before, but she really didn't expect that the opponent would really condense the turtle flow in the tournament and show it here.

Aren't you sick?

This is an exhibition match, let's just fight for real!

opposite.

Lin Sanjiu coughed twice and slowly looked away, pretending not to see the sharp gaze of the Master of the Wen Museum.

I said this was not what I originally wanted to throw away, but I threw it out in excitement... Will you believe me?

Probably not.

The referee looked left and right and already had a conclusion in his mind.

He had just put the whistle in his mouth and was about to lower the waving red flag, but at this moment, an unyielding voice suddenly rang out:

"Snorlax, Ultimate Invincible Charge!"

The voice just fell.

A bright light suddenly bloomed on the woman's wrist, and before the silver light that was about to engulf her face, it was her last-ditch courage.

in the audience.

The people, who had been quiet for a while due to the clear situation, became noisy again.

"…Wow, I'm pissed."

The young man scratched his hair, then muttered softly: "If I choose to defend it, what will be the consequences? ... Forget it, let's not do this."

"Next up, the nut dumbbells."

He tightened his army green coat, twitched his red nose, and said calmly: "You have been 'iron wall' three times."

"Kirby——"

After the roar that pierced the sky, there was a figure filled with light running forward. The violent energy seemed to crush the sand and gravel raised by the broken ground into powder.

The other two swaying vines instantly plunged into the ground, but Nut Dumbbell, with the "Rooting" and "Parasitic Seed" combination skills, was not afraid of it.

It just quietly watched the energy shock wave that broke free from the vines and quickly approached it.

The torn ground and the energy rushing into the sky.

Steady defense, fierce collision.

This is the end.

The exhibition match was declared over.

...

The opening ceremony actually ended a little earlier than expected.

11:24, it’s not even 12 o’clock yet.

Strictly speaking, it's not even 11:.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was no longer waiting in the lounge of the Olympic Arena.

Instead, according to the competition notice, he had come to the player's lounge in Area A to rest.

This place is quite spacious and the equipment is quite authoritative. It looks like a large lounge for a football or rugby team.

Because it is a group-based match, there are not many people.

At least the lounge where Yang Xiao was located was only filled with about 25 people.

Whether it is the main competition or the preliminaries, the dual-province professional competition will be held from 8 am to 12 pm.

However, the situation today is special because the morning is reserved for the opening ceremony, so the ending time in the evening is extended to 4 a.m.

Holding a half-eaten sandwich in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, Yang Xiao chewed his lunch and looked at the data sliding on the screen.

This is his first round opponent.

A mountaineer who makes a living by digging rocks.

The chewing action paused for a moment, and Yang Xiao's eyes stayed on his representative Pokémon——

Steel Snake.

next second.

Yang Xiao returned to his normal chewing speed.

Even though the defense of a large Pokémon is theoretically close to that of a small Pokémon, there is still a clear gap between the two.

Pokémon like Steelix, which is nearly ten meters long, lives underground for years and is trained by the high pressure underground, are much tougher than ordinary people imagine.

Most importantly, this Steelix is ​​a natural evolution of Onix.

In real life, there are three main ways for Onix to evolve into Steelix.

The first one is to fully stretch the metal film.

A huge amount of money was spent to cover the nearly nine-meter-long rock body of Onix with metal film.

The market price of a box of metal film is about 4, and all Pokémon that need metal film to evolve basically start with ten boxes.

Among these Pokémon, Onix is ​​the largest and most expensive. Most people simply cannot afford it and are not willing to spend money on it.

After all, the money spent on buying the metal film is enough to feed a quasi-god Pokémon into a Snorlax.

Rich people rarely do things where the effort and reward are not proportional.

The second is to rely on itself.

The core raw material in the metal film is a natural soft metal, which is similar to a non-Newtonian fluid.

Its "traces" can sometimes be found underground in various caves, and in this regard, Onix is ​​undoubtedly a T0 player.

The only problem is whether it can find a large number of production areas for metal film raw materials. After all, today's society is becoming more and more developed, and most of the production areas are under human control.

As for the third evolutionary channel, it is related to the second one.

When it finds a small amount of soft metal that is not enough for Onix to evolve, it can swallow it.

It actively drills deeper underground, enduring the erosion of ground pressure and high temperature.

In this way, when it absorbs soft metal, the rocks all over its body will break due to constant friction, revealing some metal fragments.

It is said.

When Onix continues in this way for a hundred years, its body will be as tough as diamond, and the metal fragments will cover its entire body, achieving an evolution full of perseverance.

In real life, evolution certainly doesn’t take a hundred years… but it does take a lot of time, that’s for sure.

Judging from the various scars on this big steel snake, they are obviously the remnants of early friction injuries.

Yang Xiao could even say responsibly that the age of this big steel snake was probably about the same as that of this middle-aged mountaineer.

As a latecomer to the team, it has become the representative Pokémon of this mountaineer, so its strength should not be underestimated.

The Electric Beast is completely invincible.

There is a story about the Blue Blade Demon, but that is all there is to it. After all, it is as fragile as a child in front of the Steelix.

Without the use of slate, it cannot kill Steelix in seconds.

If it was just about harvesting its soul, then Steelix would just need to give it a loving "attack", and there was a real possibility that both sides would suffer losses.

After all, it is impossible for Yang Xiao to choose to expose the special abilities of the Cang Yan Blade Ghost in the first game of the preliminaries, right?

Stuffing the last sandwich into his mouth, Yang Xiao clapped his hands.

In the locker room, those players who pretended to be calm but actually kept their attention on him.

The boy gently placed his hand on the first luxurious ball on his waist.

The latter shook slightly in response.

It's okay.

Yang Xiao smiled and looked relaxed.
