Chapter 337: Duckbill Flamefang's "Parental Love"
Chapter 337: Duckbill Flamefang's "Parental Love"
Kamiwa Town, Sharon's Training Ground.
Jinghe had to admit that Daye's words held some truth.
How could training ever compare to the rapid growth achieved through battles?
In the game, opponents like Daye would cause Pokemon to gain at least three levels after a single round.
In reality, many tactics and moves that couldn't be tested during training could now be put to the test in actual battles.
"Jinghe, be careful. Daye may be impulsive, but he's very strong," Wusong reminded him.
Jinghe was well aware of this.
In the special episode, Daye and Dianci, the formidable duo, had even managed to hold their ground against Giratina for a short time, which spoke volumes about their strength.
However...
"It's just a training battle, no need to take it too seriously," Jinghe said with a mischievous smile.
Daye scratched his head upon hearing this.
Was there a difference between taking battles seriously and not?
When facing a formidable opponent of equal strength, one must give it their all.
"I'll be the referee," Wusong offered, pushing up his glasses.
Beneath the brown lenses, his eyes gleamed with a hint of brilliance.
He had long heard of Jinghe's reputation as a 'Tactical Master,' but had only witnessed it through TV broadcasts, which didn't quite capture the essence. Today, he finally had the chance to observe up close and learn from the master.
A-Liu, standing nearby, finally reacted, slamming his fist into his palm and exclaiming, "Daye is going to battle with Teacher Jinghe?"
With this kid's reaction speed, was it certain that he would become one of the Four Kings of Sinnoh simply because there were no other candidates?
"Both of you, send out your Pokemon."
Daye laughed heartily as he took out a Poke Ball and held it in his hand.
"Teacher Jinghe, I've been waiting for a long time to battle you!"
Not long ago, when Jinghe had speedrun through the Battle Frontier, Daye had watched almost the entire stream.
Apart from missing the final battle between Jinghe and Shinado, he had witnessed nearly all the other battles.
After that, Daye had even challenged the Battle Frontier in Sinnoh.
In the Battle Tower, where consecutive victories were required, Daye and his Firemonkey achieved a speedrun comparable to Jinghe's.
Apart from failing to complete the terrifying 45 consecutive wins due to Firemonkey's lack of endurance, the rest went smoothly.
But when Daye thought he would continue to showcase his skills, he was taught a lesson by the Battle Factory.
In fact, trainers like Daye were undoubtedly powerful when commanding their Pokemon.
However, in facilities like the Battle Factory, where rented Pokemon were used to construct tactical systems for clearing challenges, he might not even make it past the first three stages.
It wasn't that he lacked ability, but rather that the rented Pokemon couldn't keep up with his reaction speed.
Battle Factory was more suited for veteran trainers like Jinghe and Wusong.
Nevertheless, it was precisely because of his failure at the Battle Factory that Daye became even more determined to battle Jinghe.
He had been waiting for an opportunity, and now that it had finally arrived, he boldly issued the challenge.
"This is our first battle, and I'll take it seriously," Daye continued, his excitement building.
"By the way, Daye, how many times have you battled with Sharon?" Jinghe suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
Daye, who had been building up his enthusiasm, was interrupted by Jinghe's unexpected question, disrupting his momentum.
Scratching his head, he smiled awkwardly, "Oh, just 108 times."
108 times, that's all?
"So, how many times did you win?" Jinghe asked again.
"I've never won, hahaha—" Daye's laughter masked a hint of embarrassment.
To put it bluntly, Daye had lost every time.
To put a positive spin on it, Daye was the epitome of perseverance, never giving up despite repeated defeats.
Jinghe nodded, "Alright, let's battle."
"Oh?"
Daye was a bit confused.
However, while Daye didn't understand, Wusong, standing beside him, had his pupils dilate, and he took a sharp breath.
Whoosh—
Daye's initial passionate fervor, as if he were about to ignite, was doused by Jinghe's simple two questions!
Wusong looked at Jinghe with a hint of disbelief.
Was this the art of psychology?
Even Daye's enthusiasm had been extinguished!
At least, for now.
Wusong understood.
Indeed, watching Teacher Jinghe's battles was a valuable learning experience.
"Go, Duckbill Flamefang!"
Daye tossed out his Poke Ball, summoning his first Pokemon.
However, compared to the beginning, his aura had significantly diminished.
Duckbill Flamefang, the evolved form of Duckbill Firefang, resembled its pre-evolved form, but with a more robust body and arms transformed into cannon-like structures.
"Flarebill, a Flameblast Pokemon, is a pure Fire-type with flames reaching up to 2000 degrees Celsius from its arm cannons!"
As Daye threw out the Poke Ball, Jinghe gently adjusted his single-lens glasses.
He threw out the Poke Ball.
Before the battle, he had given it some thought.
To be honest.
Daye, an expert in Fire-type Pokemon, was somewhat restrained by the Pokemon's attributes.
Pokemon like Ice Nine-Tails and Gigaforg are twice as weak against Fire.
More importantly.
Ground-type, Rock-type, and Water-type Pokemon that are effective against Fire-types—Jinghe didn't have any of them.
Therefore, to initially gauge Daye's strength, Jinghe conservatively sent out his first Pokemon, the Fire-type Coalomass.
"Guka!"
"Fire-type against Fire-type? This is getting interesting," Wusong said, pushing up his glasses and muttering.
This made Daye's eyes light up.
What left the deepest impression on him during Jinghe's speedrun through the Battle Frontier was this Coalomass that almost melted the entire arena.
Battle begins!
"Flarebill, let them see our flames, Flame Spray!" Daye waved his hand, still trying to find his rhythm for "casting."
"Gulp!"
Flarebill wore a disdainful smile, raising its arm as fire appeared within the black cannon, and a raging flame erupted.
The scorching heat even distorted the air.
"Then let's... Flame Spray!" Jinghe smiled.
"Guka!"
Coalomass stomped its feet on the ground, and fire surged from its body. The phoenix feathers on its head fluttered in the flame's embrace.
As the fire on Coalomass gathered in its hand, a scorching fire wave surged and rolled.
"Is this Flame Spray?" Wusong quickly threw out a Poke Ball, and a Magic Wall Doll appeared beside him, raising a transparent wall to withstand the impact of the colliding flames.
Looking at the surging fire wave that was even more intense than Flarebill's, Wusong couldn't help but think:
Could Teacher Jinghe also be an emotional Trainer?
But he didn't seem like it with his calm demeanor.
Boom!!
The two flames collided head-on, erupting into a violent roar, and the wild flames dyed everything around them bright red.
"What a powerful flame!"
The experience of watching the live stream and actually facing it felt quite different.
As the battle began, he couldn't help but get excited again.
However.
Before the colliding flames had completely dissipated, a path appeared within the fire.
And within that fiery path, Coalomass, enveloped in flames, charged out.
Charge Flame Assault!
"Well done!" Daye shouted, "Flame Punch!"
The flame-like patterns on Flarebill seemed to come to life, and the rising fire gathered in its fist as it swung at Coalomass without hesitation!
Boom!!
The fists collided head-on, and the fire splattered as both Pokemon staggered back.
Daye grinned.
"Flarebill has two cannons, Big Flame Burst!"
"Gulp!"
As Flarebill staggered back, it immediately raised its other cannon.
A surging wave of energy spread out, and the surrounding flames took on a spiral shape, as if being absorbed by Flarebill.
The next moment.
Big Flame Burst was like a roaring fire dragon, charging forward with a roar.
Even as a Fire-type Pokemon, Coalomass would definitely be injured by this Big Flame Burst.
Jinghe's expression turned serious, and he calmly said, "Charge Flame Assault, go!"
Daye was taken aback.
He seemed a little surprised that Jinghe didn't order Coalomass to retreat or dodge but instead chose to face the challenge head-on.
But in the next instant, Daye understood what Jinghe was trying to do.
The green glow shattered, and Coalomass, protected by the barrier, broke through Flarebill's Big Flame Burst and continued to advance!
Daye instantly felt as if something inside him was gradually being ignited.
"Do you want to compete? We won't lose to anyone!"
He shouted again, "Flarebill, Flame Spray!"
Flarebill's other cannon once again aimed at Coalomass, and a scorching flame instantly erupted.
It has to be said.
In the real world, it's indeed unreasonable for Flarebill, with its two cannons, to use such a move.
Isn't this a "Parental Bond" double cannon?
Coalomass, enveloped in its own flames, charged head-on towards Flarebill.
Boom!!
Like a Flash Flame Charge, the collision sent Flarebill staggering.
In a swift move, Coalomass didn't hesitate and immediately closed in again.
"Flarebill, steady yourself!" Daye shouted.
Boom! Boom!!
Flarebill stomped its feet hard on the ground, leaving two scorched marks as it stabilized its stance.
Daye's eyes gradually lit up with fiery determination.
"Excellent! Double-team it, Flame Spray!"
Coalomass, who had been on the offensive, was suddenly engulfed in flames.
"This tactic of trading blows... doesn't seem like something Jinghe would do," A Liu remarked, his reaction time returning to normal as he entered the battle.
Wusong couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Something felt off about this.
Just then, Jinghe spoke up, "Daye, do you know what fire ultimately brings?"
Daye was taken aback, not understanding the question.
What else could fire bring but destruction? But Jinghe smiled, gently touching his eyes, and said, "It brings new life."
"Guka!"
A voice echoed in the arena, belonging to Coalomass.
What?!
Everyone was stunned.
They saw Coalomass standing before Flarebill, arms raised high, blocking Flarebill's arms with sheer force, finding the blind spot of the flame attack!
And...
A golden firelight enveloped Coalomass, slowly restoring its energy.
What kind of flame was this?
"It's the Life Flame?!" Wusong, well-read and knowledgeable, narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
"Life Flame?" A Liu asked, perplexed.
"It's the legendary flame of the Phoenix and Entei, capable of resurrecting the dead!"
"That's insane!" A Liu exclaimed, equally astonished.
It wasn't just the Life Flame; the flame Entei bestowed was not enough to achieve this level.
There was also the precious feather of the Firebird and the Rainbow Feather that Jinghe had temporarily given to Coalomass!
"Flarebill, stomp!" Daye didn't give up and shouted again.
A Ground-type move at such close range would be effective even if Coalomass could slowly recover its status, but it would be a slow process.
Moreover...
Although Flarebill's Flame Spray had swept past Coalomass, it essentially missed, doubling the power of the stomp.
This stomp packed a punch of 150 points! Let's see how you handle this!
Boom!!
The ground cracked, dust flew, and the violent tremors once again engulfed everything.
But...
Coalomass remained standing, unyielding before Flarebill.
"It endured?!" A Liu murmured.
Wusong squinted, his expression grave, then relaxed, "It's holding on. Jinghe anticipated Daye's move."
Jinghe smiled and said, "Coalomass—"
"Guka!"
Coalomass erupted with a terrifying flame, but it quickly retracted into its body.
Flarebill stared in disbelief at the small creature before it, feeling a shiver as the flame brewed within Coalomass.
"Big Flame Burst!"
Coalomass panted heavily, then smiled, and the terrifying firelight, at such close range, suddenly devoured everything.
Boom!!
The all-encompassing flame, accompanied by strange waves of energy, compressed, expanded, compressed, and expanded, becoming even more explosive.
A Liu murmured, "Such close range ensures a hundred percent hit rate for Big Flame Burst."
He was wrong; this tactic was very much like Jinghe's style.
Wusong's eyes widened.
"A flame with waves, it's Big Wave Flame Blast!"
Flarebill, once the firelight subsided, lay defeated in the scorched remains, its fighting ability lost.
"Guka!"
Coalomass clenched its fists, satisfied with the execution of its move.
Indeed.
Real combat was the best test of one's abilities, and this move, which he could now execute smoothly, still had high distance requirements.
Flarebill was defeated, but Daye didn't let it dampen his spirits.
Instead, his eyes ignited with a blazing passion.
"It's truly an exhilarating flame!"
Wusong's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, Daye's passion was ignited again. How would Jinghe respond this time?
How would he respond?
Jinghe's smile remained unchanged, and a Poke Ball appeared in his hand.
It was simple; it was just Mega Evolution, something anyone could do.
