Chapter 426: Dakudo: Too Steady
Chapter 426: Dakudo: Too Steady
Sun Eevee vs. Martial Bear Master!
As he watched the Martial Bear Master sleeping soundly, Dakudo couldn't help but furrow his brows.
For some reason, today's Martial Bear Master gave him a different, unsettling feeling.
It was only because the change of terrain had taken up a lot of time, leaving him with little time to think.
The battle continues!
Regardless, Dakudo still chose to take the initiative.
After watching so many of Jinghe's battle videos, he had come to a conclusion.
When battling against Teacher Jinghe, one must strive to seize the initiative.
Although Teacher Jinghe possesses a high level of tactical acumen and can often understand and judge moves, or even predict them, it's still crucial to gain the first move!
Because, at the very least, by seizing the initiative, there's still a chance to continue fighting. But once the initiative is lost, or if Teacher Jinghe takes the lead, then the next most likely outcome is...
not even having a chance to counter!
"Sun Eevee, Swap Trick!" Dakudo shouted.
"Bui~"
Sun Eevee propped up its body and raised its head, its deep purple eyes glinting with a faint light. The red gem on its forehead shimmered, and a psychic power emerged from its body, enveloping and connecting it with the Martial Bear Master.
Swap Trick, a move that swaps held items between the user and the target! Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but mock.
"Swap Trick! I never thought there'd be a day when Teacher Jinghe would be 'dirtied' by this move!"
"Haha—I'm curious now about what item Sun Eevee is holding."
"If I'm not mistaken, it's most likely a Precision Scarf or a Precision Headband."
Buzz—
The Martial Bear Master's Black Belt disappeared, replaced by Sun Eevee's Precision Scarf!
At the same time.
As Sun Eevee used Swap Trick, the Martial Bear Master also made its move.
"Martial Bear Master—"
It took a deep breath, its fur standing on end, and the headband fluttered loudly.
Although.
This was the first time it used this move, it had already mastered all the characteristics and key points of the move when it was still a Bear Pupil.
Countless nights, in the quiet of the night, it tirelessly practiced over and over again.
And this practice, as monotonous as it seemed, was just repeatedly punching, punching, punching... But it was this accumulation that gave it great confidence in its move.
And at this moment, it was time to test the results of its years of practice!
Jinghe watched its stance and said solemnly, "Dark Strike!!"
Wusong was surprised, his eyes wide.
Others might not know, but he had browsed through the Martial Bear Master's information and remembered it well.
The Martial Bear Master has two forms, depending on the signature move it masters.
Based on the moves the Martial Bear Master had shown earlier, it should have evolved into the Combo Flow form, and its signature move should be Water Combo.
Why did it just use Dark Strike?!
"Huru!! zzZ"
The Precision Scarf that Sun Eevee swapped in further increased the Martial Bear Master's speed.
Just then.
A dark aura emerged from beneath the Martial Bear Master's feet, and as it clenched its fist, it seemed to slowly lift its foot.
Boom!!
The ground suddenly cracked, and in the blink of an eye, the Martial Bear Master appeared in front of Sun Eevee.
"Bui?!"
Sun Eevee's eyes widened, a glimmer of horror flashing in them. It tried to dodge, but the Martial Bear Master's fist was already within striking distance.
Moreover, Sun Eevee, with its ability to foresee the future, seemed to sense its fate, its eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
A critical hit, an explosive strike! This punch carried twenty years of power!
Boom!!
The arena shook, and Sun Eevee flew out like a cannonball, slamming heavily into the reflective wall of the arena, creating ripples of intense energy.
The air currents dispersed by the punch also slammed violently into the protective wall, emitting a faint white light.
For a moment.
The entire venue fell silent, everyone staring wide-eyed and holding their breath, disbelief written on their faces as they witnessed the scene unfolding in the arena.
After a long while, the announcer's voice, stumbling over his words, echoed again in the silent venue.
"One... one-hit KO! Martial Bear Master knocks out Sun Eevee with a single punch!!"
Hua!!
The venue erupted with a roar of noise.
"KO... KO?! Am I seeing this right?"
"Was that just now... a Dark-type move? Is the Martial Bear Master's Dark-type move that powerful?"
"Dark Strike! That's the One-Hit Flow Martial Bear Master's Dark Strike! I've seen Master Ma's Martial Bear Master use it once!"
"But isn't Teacher Jinghe's Martial Bear Master a Fighting and Water Combo Flow type?"
"This is—the Sleeping Bear!"
So this was what Gramps had mentioned, the move that opens the heavens with one punch?
Whoosh—
"Huru!! zzZ"
The Martial Bear Master's mouth opened slightly, a wisp of white breath drifting from its lips.
A miscalculation.
After that punch, there was no chance to cry.
A miscalculation.
Dakudo reviewed the battle in his mind.
The most critical mistake was misjudging the Martial Bear Master's attribute and move, almost leading to Sun Eevee's defeat without much resistance.
However, Sun Eevee did have some achievements.
Dakudo exhaled softly, adjusting his breathing.
But we... won't give up just like this!
He threw back his cloak, his eyes determined.
No one can define the entire battle until the last card is drawn!
"Go, Wooly Mammoth!"
With a humanoid shape, covered in thick, dense fur, and well-developed chest and limbs, the parts of its body not covered by fur are green.
Wooly Mammoth, a buff Pokemon with Dark and Fairy attributes, and its corresponding female counterpart is Briimwen.
"Hiss~ Hiss~!!!"
The Wooly Mammoth emitted a sharp, piercing sound, instantly unleashing a golden tuft of electric current towards the Martial Bear Master. Its speed was so fast that it caught some off guard.
Prankster!
This Wooly Mammoth had the Prankster ability, so when it used transformation-type moves, its speed was incredibly fast.
"Roar!! zzZ"
The sleeping Martial Bear Master furrowed its brow, and a wave of Wave Guide energy and Dark energy surged around it to defend against the attack.
"Welcome back, Martial Bear Master."
Buzz—
A red light appeared, and just before the Thunder Wave was about to hit the Martial Bear Master, it was pulled back.
"How did it get recalled?" Daye exclaimed in surprise.
The Martial Bear Master was in peak condition, and the Dark Strike's single-hit output was explosive!
"A Wooly Mammoth with Dark and Fairy types combined, four times resistant to Dark-type attacks, and the Martial Bear Master's move was locked by the Precision Scarf. This substitution was perfectly timed."
Wusong showed disdain for Daye's Brutal Playstyle.
In fact, most people approved of this substitution.
"It's all up to you, Nine Tails."
Jinghe also released her third Poke Ball.
A slender, snowy figure leaped lightly into the arena, and its nine tails unfurled like silk, while snowflakes gently fell from the sky.
"Roar~"
The Ice Nine Tails smiled gently, and its ethereal voice rang out, softening the hearts of all the spectators.
"So beautiful."
"This is too amazing!"
Upon seeing the Ice Nine Tails, Dakudo's expression turned grim.
This was one of Jinghe's strongest Pokemon!
"Misty Terrain."
"Taunt!" Dakudo's voice echoed.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he saw the pale pink aura emanating from the Ice Nine Tails, and his heart skipped a beat.
It was too late!
From the moment the Ice Nine Tails appeared, even before Jinghe had spoken, it had already activated Misty Terrain. So, even with the Prankster ability, the Wooly Mammoth couldn't interrupt the Ice Nine Tails.
Concealing moves within the Poke Ball, the usual method in Unlimited Mode, was to ensure the smooth execution of moves.
Too steady!
As soon as Misty Terrain was activated, the Wooly Mammoth's Prankster ability was almost halved, and many moves that inflicted negative status conditions couldn't be used.
But thankfully, the Taunt also prevented the Ice Nine Tails from using transformation-type moves for the time being.
"Soul Impact!" Dakudo commanded again.
"Hiss!"
The Wooly Mammoth took a step forward, braving the snowstorm, and charged straight towards the Ice Nine Tails.
Before the appearance of Pokemon like the Iron Warrior, Soul Impact could be considered the Wooly Mammoth's signature move.
Not only was its power formidable, but upon successfully hitting its opponent, it also lowered their Special Attack.
"Thunder Shock to dodge!" Jinghe also called out.
With the Ice Nine Tails temporarily restricted from using transformation-type moves, its signature Aurora Veil was unavailable, significantly weakening its defense.
However, this didn't mean the Ice Nine Tails had no other options.
"Roar~"
The Ice Nine Tails transformed into a beam of white light, and with the cover of the snowstorm, it became difficult to track its movements for a moment.
"Blizzard!"
Whoosh—
The already dense snowstorm instantly intensified, as raging winds enveloped the swirling snow and ice, forming a fierce snow dragon.
On the protective light walls surrounding the audience, dazzling ice flowers formed, and the cold air seemed to permeate the arena.
Within such a wide range, the Wooly Mammoth had no chance to dodge, so Dakudo made a quick decision, "Defend!"
"Hiss!"
The Wooly Mammoth hugged its shoulders, and a faint frost had already appeared on its body, but thankfully, the emerald green barrier it quickly erected protected it.
Crack—
However, on the protective light wall surrounding the audience, a crack appeared.
This made the hearts of the arena maintenance staff race.
They could overlook the damage to the arena, but now even the energy barrier was about to shatter?
The front row spectators also felt a chill down their spines.
"I've found it!" Dakudo roared, "Wooly Mammoth, Ambush!"
"Hiss!"
The Wooly Mammoth suddenly exuded a menacing aura, its body transformed into a black beam, and it burst out of the center of the blizzard, rushing towards the Ice Nine Tails.
"Soul Impact!"
With another Soul Impact, as long as it could lower the Ice Nine Tails' Special Attack, the pressure in this battle would be significantly reduced.
As the Ice Nine Tails was within reach, the Wooly Mammoth revealed a cunning, triumphant smile.
It had succeeded! It vigorously waved its claws, and—
Boom!!
A seemingly inexplicable ice wall appeared in the path of its claw strike.
Hmm?
Dakudo was momentarily stunned by this sight.
Ice... ice wall?
"Roar~"
The Ice Nine Tails quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close.
This wasn't an ice wall; it was merely its "Permanent Ice Wall" wrapping around it, just a little thicker than usual.
After all, without the protection of dozens of Aurora Veils, it didn't feel entirely safe.
And what the Wooly Mammoth had locked onto was just a visual "illusion" caused by the refraction of ice crystals.
This was the use of ice elements, not a move, so it wasn't affected by Taunt.
Dakudo's mouth twitched, "Too steady..."
"Moon Power."
"Roar~!"
A pale pink light sphere, as bright as the moon, slammed into the Wooly Mammoth.
"Is this ice wall reasonable?"
"The Ice Nine Tails is too steady!"
"It would take a minute for the Wooly Mammoth to break through it all!"
"What's wrong with a girl protecting herself when she's out and about?"
"Hurry up and end this, I'm freezing!"
"."
Given the Ice Nine Tails' temperament, after landing a successful move, its opponent...
Thankfully, this time, it didn't turn into an ice sculpture.
