Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

Charizard and Cloyster, don't let the fact that one is from the Kanto region's starter Pokémon and the other is practically a dime-a-dozen Pokémon fool you.

In reality, their base stats are quite similar.

Charizard has a base stat total of 535, while Cloyster has 525. Moreover, Cloyster has a type advantage over Charizard.

If Xia Mu's Cloyster were a regular one, the Charizard, having awakened its Dragon-type bloodline, could still overwhelm it head-on.

However, his Cloyster is a meticulously trained Dragon Slayer, making its strength extraordinary.

It would be considered impressive if the Charizard wasn't smashed against the wall by the Dragon Slayer Cloyster, to the point of being unremovable.

Originally, Charizard could have used its agile movements to evade Cloyster's attacks.

But Xia Mu's Dragon Slayer Cloyster can freaking fly.

The key is that its flying speed isn't slow either, instantly negating Charizard's advantage.

Although Charizard glared at Cloyster with eyes like knives, it was drumming up courage in its heart.

Cloyster emanated an aura that it found extremely repulsive.

This aura could even allow Charizard to overcome its fear of water.

Charizard also forcibly suppressed the urge to turn and run, allowing it to stalemate with Cloyster in the air.

The dragon and the bivalve were locked in a staring contest.

The gap was gradually closing.

The advantage of Charizard awakening its bloodline was turning into a stark disadvantage because its opponent was a Dragon Slayer Cloyster.

Cloyster can expel water from the gaps in its shell, like a miniature jet, comparable to Blastoise using Water Gun to fly in the air.

However, unlike Blastoise, Cloyster's water jet is a closed-loop system.

So, theoretically, Cloyster can fly in the air for a long time.

In the stands, some busybodies were live-streaming the event.

This magnificent duel caused the number of viewers in the live stream to surge to over a hundred thousand.

A clever girl was watching the live stream while relying on her evolved Wartortle.

She was setting up a stall, with various Pokémon tools spread out on a blue cloth.

"Cloyster using Water Jet to fly in the air?"

"That's a great idea, I can also have Wartortle do that."

"Wartortle, learn from it, we still have a lot to learn later on."

At this moment, a young man wearing red clothes, a hat, and a curious Pikachu on his shoulder walked over.

"Hello, handsome young man, are you here to look at Pokémon tools?"

"I have many tools here that can enhance your Pokémon's power."

The girl revealed a smile like a shrewd merchant: "This Pikachu has been raised very well by you, you are truly an excellent trainer."

"Surely, you, this excellent trainer, will pay more attention to improving yourself, right?"

Ash and Pikachu, praised by the beauty, were a little embarrassed, so the two of them began to look at the tools on the stall.

Yan Huang Region, Yan Dong Province, Yang City Stadium.

The battle between Charizard and Cloyster had reached a fever pitch.

The two sides had exchanged blows for a while, but neither had gained the upper hand.

Cloyster's Water-type moves would evaporate into water vapor when they approached within three meters of Charizard.

And Charizard's Fire-type moves were easily defeated by Cloyster.

The audience cheered in excitement.

"I didn't expect that we could see a match comparable to a professional-level competition in the provincial tournament."

"Of course, Xia Mu's strength is good, comparable to Leo's, so the battle between experts depends on the details."

"A slight deviation could lead to complete defeat."

"But I still think Xia Mu has a higher chance of winning, after all, Water counters Fire. As long as Xia Mu doesn't get greedy and reckless, he can grind Charizard to death."

The audience's thoughts were correct. Xia Mu's Cloyster knows the moves Life Dew and Aqua Ring, two recovery moves.

It's not afraid of anyone in a battle of attrition.

The key is to be afraid of Charizard having some tricks up its sleeve.

"Cloyster, Double Water Gun, attack Charizard's wings."

Two turbulent streams of water, like dragons emerging from the sea, roared out.

They bared their fangs and claws, wanting to completely engulf Charizard.

Charizard wasn't easy to bully either.

It opened its mouth, and an orange-red light appeared in its throat.

A tongue of fire shot out from Charizard's mouth.

The fiery red flames instantly collided with the water stream, and water vapor evaporated into the sky, filling the air.

Specks of sunlight fell on Charizard's body, and its power was continuously increasing.

The Solar Power ability continuously increases Special Attack in sunny conditions.

This is why Leo knew that Xia Mu had a Water-type Pokémon but still sent out Charizard.

Seeing that the head-on collision was yielding no results, Leo decided to try a bold move.

The Charizard that awakened its Dragon-type bloodline naturally also mastered the move Draco Meteor.

This move, known as the ultimate Dragon-type move, has allowed Charizard to defeat many opponents stronger than itself.

It's just that the preparation time for this move is a bit longer.

"Charizard, Draco Meteor."

Charizard spread its wings and roared to the sky, and golden dragon energy emanated from its body.

While condensing the dragon energy, it flapped its wings to dodge Cloyster's Water Gun attacks.

Several times, Cloyster's Water Gun almost hit Charizard, inflicting damage.

After more than a minute, Charizard finally released the initial stage of the Draco Meteor move.

The dragon energy directly ascended into the air, condensing into golden clouds.

Waves of dragon威 emanated from the clouds, and the audience in the stands only felt a mental pressure from the dragon.

Immediately afterward, countless golden meteors fell from the sky, surging towards the direction where Cloyster was.

Wherever they passed, even the white steam was torn apart by the dragon meteors, revealing Cloyster's true form.

One by one, golden dragon meteors left golden light in the air, rushing towards Cloyster in all directions.

It was determined to seal off all of Cloyster's activity space and completely defeat Xia Mu's Cloyster with this move, seizing the qualification to advance to the finals.

Cloyster: Dragon-type move? Then I'm not sleepy anymore.

Cloyster's fighting spirit soared, and a cold current emerged from its body.

"Spike Cannon + Icy Wind."

Xia Mu issued two commands in a row.

Two beams of white light converged at the horns on Cloyster's shell, and bursts of cold air poured into them.

Two large, sharp ice crystals condensed out.

Immediately afterward, the ice crystals shattered instantly, and countless thumb-sized ice spikes shot out from the broken ice crystals, scattering towards the direction from which the Draco Meteor was attacking.

Subsequently, bursts of icy blue cold air emanated from Cloyster's body, causing the ice spikes to continue to grow.

At this time, Cloyster also unleashed its ultimate move.

When the Draco Meteor and Cloyster's move collided with each other, what surprised Charizard and Leo was that the Draco Meteor was like paper, easily pierced by Cloyster's ice spikes, and then a violent explosion occurred.

The scattered dragon energy faintly gathered on Cloyster's shell, eventually disappearing.

A large number of ice spikes were passing through the interception of the Draco Meteor, attacking towards the direction where Charizard was.

Charizard did not expect this result. Its mouth was wide open, and its pupils reflected the ice spikes flying all over the sky.

Only one thought occupied its mind: My heavens, the Dragon Meteor Shower was blocked like that?

Was that even possible?

Its movements faltered slightly, like a huge target, signaling the Ice Spikes to attack quickly.

But Leo reacted swiftly: "Charizard, use Smokescreen Charge, cover yourself in flames."

"Then break through the encirclement!"

The newest chapters are first published on 69shu.com!

"There's no time, be quick!"

If those Ice Spikes landed on Charizard, it would probably be riddled with holes.

Flames erupted from Charizard's body, and the rolling heat gradually melted many ice crystals in the air.

Cold icy rain sprinkled down from the sky, freezing into icicles again on the ground.

Charizard instantly formed a large fireball, flapping its wings and flying upwards, trying to break out of the encirclement of Ice Spikes.

The Ice Spikes followed Charizard closely like a clinging shadow.

Having finally formed an encirclement, how could Xia Mu let Charizard escape?

"Cloyster, use Hydro Pump, break through Charizard's defense."

Two rapid streams of water shot out again, but with the enhancement of Freezing Wind, a thin layer of ice gradually froze around the outside of the water streams.

This accelerated the impact speed of the Hydro Pump.

Before Charizard could shake off the pursuit of the Ice Spikes, the Hydro Pump landed directly on Charizard.

Charizard only felt a bone-chilling cold sweeping up from below, and most of the flames on its body were extinguished.

An expression of extreme pain appeared on its face, and its flying speed also slowed down considerably.

Before Charizard could react, the Ice Spikes that followed behind 'bloomed' all over Charizard's body.

Most of Charizard's body was frozen into ice.

Its wings were also completely frozen, and Charizard fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

There was a loud crash, the ground shook, and even the audience in the stands could feel the obvious tremor.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, the ground was hit hard, and large spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the solid ground, showing the intensity of the battle.

"Cloyster, continue the attack."

"Use Hydro Pump, don't give Charizard time to react."

Seeing that victory was imminent, Cloyster took advantage of the chaos to continuously output damage, determined to keep Charizard pinned down here, unable to turn over.

Xia Mu suddenly observed that Leo's expression was calm, without a trace of panic, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.

"That's not right, Charizard has been severely injured, why is Leo so calm?"

"Does he still have a trump card?"

Xia Mu muttered to himself, and several tactics that Leo might use instantly appeared in his mind.

The semi-finals were already this difficult, wouldn't the finals be even harder?

Moreover, this was just the provincial competition, after the provincial competition there was also the Yan Huang region competition, which was full of experts from the entire Yan Huang region.

If he could become one of the top eight in the Yan Huang competition, he would at least be a future Gym Leader.

Xia Mu's requirements were not high, as long as he could become one of the top eight in the Yan Huang competition.

At that time, he would be assigned to a remote gym to run the gym, which would be a place to settle down and have his own real home.

However, Shenshan Middle School promised to keep his breeding room as an exhibition hall open to students.

Xia Mu could come back to live whenever he wanted.

He had lived here for a long time, and it could be considered his second home.

Xia Mu's eyes were fixed on the battlefield, he had to concentrate and be on guard against Leo's trump card.

Just as Cloyster was frantically outputting damage, Leo suddenly grinned.

He was observing Cloyster's every move, looking for flaws exposed by Cloyster.

Taking advantage of the gap when Cloyster had just used the Hydro Pump skill, Leo suddenly shouted loudly: "Charizard, take this opportunity and use Seismic Toss."

Before Cloyster could react, a black shadow flew out from below, it was Charizard.

When he saw Charizard's disheveled appearance, Xia Mu immediately understood how Charizard had avoided Cloyster's attack.

This guy actually knew the Dig skill.

At the moment it was hit by Cloyster, it used Dig to leave the area and wait for a chance to severely injure Cloyster.

Charizard endured its fear of water and rushed into the stream of water.

It used its sharp dragon claws to tightly grasp the protruding spikes on Cloyster's shell.

With a sudden flap of its wings, it spread its wings and flew high into the sky.

"Master Xia, your Cloyster is very good, but according to my observation, its blind spot is behind its shell."

"Cloyster's shell is very large and heavy, so it can only open up to a hundred and fifty degrees at most."

"That is to say, the position behind the shell is Cloyster's blind spot."

"I pretended to let Charizard reveal a flaw just now, letting it be bombarded by Cloyster, just to wait for this opportunity to appear."

"Cloyster's defensive ability is very strong, so I used this characteristic to think of a way to defeat Cloyster."

Leo had learned the theory quite well, and he was very flexible and adaptable, which was exactly the combat quality that a trainer should have.

Xia Mu pieced everything together and understood Leo's plan.

"Not bad, Leo, you've learned quite a bit in the field of combat studies."

"You thought of using gravity acceleration to take down my Cloyster, right?"

"Cloyster's shell is very hard, when Charizard flies downwards at high speed, use gravity acceleration to take down Cloyster."

"This is like smashing a stone hard against the ground, under the effect of gravity acceleration, even an extremely hard stone will crack the moment it hits the ground, and in severe cases, it can even be torn apart."

This is why throwing objects from high altitudes is subject to strict legal penalties.

An apple dropped from a thirty-story building can even pierce a person's skull.

This is why Leo would rather let Charizard be eroded by the water flow, but also let Charizard hold on to Cloyster tightly and use Seismic Toss.

Use magic to defeat magic, use the opponent's spear to attack their own shield.

At this time, Charizard had already reached a high altitude, and it began to hug Cloyster tightly and spin at super high speed.

Cloyster only felt a dizzying sensation, and then it fell rapidly downwards.

In order to ensure that Seismic Toss could be successfully executed, Charizard held on to Cloyster tightly and did not let go.

This was to ensure that Cloyster could hit the ground straight without having the opportunity to use the Hydro Pump skill to cushion the downward trend.

Seeing Charizard so attentive, a smile gradually rose on Xia Mu's face.

What Xia He accomplished, Xiao He also ruined.

This time, Leo was lifting a stone to smash his own foot!
