Chapter 67: Who Else?
Chapter 67: Who Else?
"Kan, you're here too?"
The crowd around the "Tower Climbing Zone" gradually grew larger. They started out as mere spectators, but their expressions soon shifted from curiosity to shock and surprise, and the area eventually fell silent once more.
Dove, with her twin-tails and in a maid outfit, and Asa, dressed in hip-hop style, pushed through the crowd to find Kan standing at the front.
"What's going on here?"
Asa couldn't help but ask.
Kan scanned the area, noticing the shock on people's faces and the number on the wall changing from "7" to "8." His gaze finally settled on Jing He and Gengar on the field.
"Teacher Jing He's Gastly... evolved?" Dove asked, her eyes wide with surprise.
Kan, with his arms crossed and chin resting on them, smiled slightly.
He wasn't overly surprised.
In Kan's opinion, Teacher Jing He's tactical skills were unmatched. Even trainers like Adler and the Royal Masked Man were no match for her. The "Tower Climbing" challenge was a perfect fit for Jing He, as it heavily tested a trainer's tactical abilities, situational awareness, and the ability to defeat the most opponents with the least effort.
Moreover, Gastly's evolution into Gengar had significantly boosted its power.
However, Kan's lack of surprise didn't mean the same for others.
"Eight! Teacher Jing He has a streak of eight?!" Asa exclaimed.
More accurately, Jing He and Gengar had already defeated eight Pokemon in a row!
While these eight Pokemon were from the academy's teaching roster and not perfectly in sync with Instructor Seiya, they were far from weak. Seiya herself was also known for her skill in handling random Pokemon in battles.
On the other side of the field, Jing He looked at Gengar, who was grinning widely, and asked:
"Gengar, how are you doing?"
"Gar?"
The Weavile in Jing He's arms also looked at Gengar with concern.
"Gar! (▼ᴍᴇᴍᴇ▼)"
Gengar licked its claws, looking confident.
It was hunting time, and it wasn't about to back down!
Gengar's energy seemed good, and according to the Pokedex Jing He could see, its condition was still decent.
Jing He's question was more about whether Gengar was satisfied with the fight so far.
But it seemed Gengar wasn't done yet.
However, the Pokemon Seiya was sending out were getting stronger with each turn.
"Gar!"
Next one!
"Number nine."
Seiya held a Poke Ball in her hand. Despite being on the losing end of the challenge, she showed no signs of frustration. As the guardian of the "Tower Climbing Zone," maintaining fairness was crucial, and she couldn't afford to lose her composure.
To be honest, she was also curious about how far Jing He and Gengar could go.
She could tell that while Gengar hadn't taken any significant damage, the frequent use of moves and abilities had taken a toll on its stamina. Gengar hadn't used any means to recover during the battles, except for occasionally sucking on a "Toxic Orb" to alleviate its fatigue.
"Go, Hypno!"
A Pokemon resembling a human with a golden body and white fur around its neck, holding a hypnotic ring, appeared in a red light on the field.
"Sul!"
A Psychic-type Pokemon and a Hypnosis Pokemon, Hypno!
As soon as Hypno appeared, its eyes glowed with a faint blue light, enveloping Gengar.
"Gar, gar!"
Gengar was startled, hugging itself in a frightened manner.
There's a pervert! Jing He, there's a pervert!
It felt like it was being exposed.
"Is this the 'Future Sight' ability?" Jing He squinted her eyes. "Which move will it predict?"
Normally, "Future Sight" predicts the opponent's strongest move. But to be honest, most of Gengar's moves weren't particularly powerful unless specific conditions were met.
In reality, the "Future Sight" ability in the real world was likely different from the game, and it would predict the move that posed the greatest threat to Hypno.
At that moment, Hypno was confused.
Because the most threatening move it predicted was...
Lick?!
Seiya, receiving the feedback, was also taken aback.
But the battle had to continue. After a brief moment of shock, she quickly regained her composure and commanded:
"Hypno, use Hypnosis!"
"Sul!"
Hypno's narrow eyes narrowed further, revealing a sly look as it gently swung its hypnotic ring.
As the ring swayed, invisible waves of energy rippled outward.
"Gengar, use Hypnosis," Jing He commanded calmly.
Gengar grinned, waving its hands as its eyes glowed.
This was their "secret signal."
Rewritten Text:
When Jing He mentioned "Hypnosis," Gengar usually used the standard move "Hypnosis."
However, when Jing He said "inducing sleep," Gengar would just be confused.
"Isn't that different from 'Dream Induction' to 'Hypnosis'?"
Many people were puzzled by Jing He's choice.
Gengar, with his Hypnosis ability, waited solemnly for the result.
Xingya didn't understand Jing He's choice, but she soon felt something different.
Hmm?
In her puzzled gaze, the Dream Inducer's body trembled slightly.
Bang!!
It fell to the ground!
"Wha—"
The people around also looked like they had seen a Ghost.
What's going on?
As a "Dream Inducer," the Dream Inducer actually lost to Gengar's "Hypnosis"!
Even if they saw the Dream Inducer fall to the ground, and their body still twitching, they wouldn't believe the result.
"Ruff~~"
Gengar yawned, patted his mouth, and a tear squeezed out from the corner of his eye.
Almost scared to death.
Then, a bad scare made his vision sweep over the Dream Inducer, finally stopping at the Hypnosis Ring.
"Ruff~~"
"Ow."
Xiaoliu's eyes shone brightly.
Is this our old Jing's "Hypnosis?"
"What, what's going on, Teacher Jing?"
Finally, someone couldn't help but to ask.
Jing He opened his mouth, not blinking, and simply explained, "The Dream Inducer's 'Hypnosis' is within the range of Hypnosis, while Gengar's is one-way Hypnosis."
Everyone was suddenly enlightened.
What a joke!
Bang!
The numbers on the wall jumped from "8" to "9"!
Nine already!
Xingya, deeply,
In one breath, recalled the Dream Inducer, and took out another Poke Ball.
"Then, the tenth."
Red light flashed, the ground rumbled.
A Boulkerodon, covered in azure scales, eyes wide open, stood straight, and roared the ground with a terrifying roar!
"Roar—!!"
"Jing, this is the Water/Dragon Dream—Boulkerodon!"
Jing He frowned slightly.
In front of this massive creature, Gengar seemed a bit smaller.
"Ruff—!!"
What a jump, scared me!
Gengar slowly slipped into the shadows.
Confronting such a large creature, it was indeed a challenge.
"Boulkerodon, Dragon Dance!" Xingya waved her hand, "Dance" with her hand.
"Roar!!"
Boulkerodon roared fiercely, its aura rising madly, speed astonishing, almost creating a series of small dragon waves in the arena.
With such a commotion, Gengar found it hard to approach.
"Venom!"
Gengar quietly came behind the dancing Boulkerodon, mouth open, spewing a thick, deep purple mucus.
"Here comes, Teacher Jing's 'Substitute Poison' tactic!"
"Boulkerodon, Water Tail, hit Gengar out of the shadows!"
Swoosh—
Boulkerodon's tail wrapped in a powerful water stream, like a massive whip, striking the ground where Gengar's shadow lay.
Boom!!
The ground cracked, water splashing, and Gengar, hard hit out of the shadow, a layer of emerald green barrier shattering.
'Pinched the "Reverse Scale" to counter "Hypnosis,' right?
Jing He thought darkly.
"Crush!"
Seeing Gengar appear, Boulkerodon roared fiercely again, tail hitting the ground, and charged at Gengar at an astonishing speed.
Bang!!
A terrifying mouth swallowed a shadow, but only as a substitute.
Xingya's eyes flashed.
She pre-judged the "Substitute Poison" tactic's "hold not hold" principle, but Jing He pre-judged her pre-judgment.
"Gengar, trouble doesn't come alone!"
Fact proved, the principle of the "Substitute Poison" tactic was simple, but using it couldn't be rigid, or it would be no different from giving up.
Had to admit, knowing in advance what move the opponent's Dream knew and the proficiency of that move gave Jing He a significant advantage.
And this pre-judgment set the victory.
A few minutes later.
Bang!!
Boulkerodon's massive body trembled and fell heavily to the ground.
Dong!!
The numbers on the wall jumped from "9" to "10"!
Gengar somehow pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.
Proudly, he looked around the arena.
"Ruff!! |ω)"
Is there anyone else?
Completed a series of ten victories!
Turned off the comment. Couldn't grab the first, wo vo vo.
