Chapter 52: Xingye: Press, Press, Press! I Win Too, Okay?
The second day morning.
Underground arena outside White Dragon High School.
“You wanna bet on winning again? No… don’t screw me over, Hangzi Ge, isn’t two wins one loss nice?” Xingye said.
“This venue outside White Dragon High School has no one betting anyway, two wins one loss won’t gain many points. Plus you can still bet on losing, Fletchling probably can’t win.” Zuo Hang said.
“Fletchling?” Xingye waved his hand helplessly, “Got it, I’ll bet on winning with you, alright?”
“Actually you don’t have to bet at all, no one’s forcing you.”
“Damn, what’s the point of watching the competition without betting? No expectation at all. Cut the crap, 2000 points on Fletchling to win! Hurry the hell up!”
Zuo Hang said: “2000 points? That’s a bit low, if you’re brothers go all in.”
“Fuck! All in and we won’t be brothers anymore, I really don’t believe you can win! See that Jiang Yuan kid? Heard he’s been standing there with a mask for two days, tsk. Ground dragon beats fire, Fletchling has no chance at all.” Xingye shook his head and said.
“So you shouldn’t play games in class.” Zuo Hang said: “Fletchling is Normal Flying, where’s the fire? Just knowing Flame makes it fire?”
“Huh? Fletchling is Normal Flying? Isn’t it Fire Flying? I think you’re screwing me over again, let me check the Pokédex.”
Zuo Hang sighed.
He was too lazy to say more to Xingye.
Walked out of the rest area.
From far away he could feel the anger on Jiang Yuan’s Trainer’s face, even the white mask couldn’t hide it at all.
“Well damn! You really came back! I was thinking if you didn’t show up in three days I’d let it go, didn’t expect you’d make me wait on the second day! Alright, I won’t bully you! Electric vs Electric!”
With that, Jiang Yuan’s Trainer reached for a Poké Ball at his lower back.
Zuo Hang was one step ahead.
Fletchling appeared from red light.
Displeasure flashed in Jiang Yuan’s Trainer’s eyes, he withdrew the hand reaching for his lower back, “What do you mean? Still using this weakling? Looking down on me?! Fine! Gible, you’re up again this match!”
Zuo Hang suddenly admired this guy a bit, after getting beaten like that by the Electric Mouse he still dared to come back and yell about Electric vs Electric.
If not for syrupy confidence, then this Jiang Yuan’s Trainer really had some Electric-type Pokémon that mastered Electric-attribute form change, making him think he could fight Pikachu.
Jiang Yuan’s Trainer said: “Weakling is weakling no matter how many times! Gible! Dragon Rush!”
Without cursing a couple times he couldn’t even give orders properly, Fletchling was a bit annoyed.
Electric light lit up on its wings!
Dragon Rush VS Quick Attack!
Stone hits egg, shatters on impact!
“Can’t win head-on, dodge with Aerial Ace!” Zuo Hang commanded at extreme speed.
Gible with deep blue flowing light flashing on its body dragged a dragon shadow behind it, seeming like his evolved form Gabite, its body floated weirdly as the flowing light of Dragon Rush lit up, charging fiercely at Fletchling!
Fletchling, originally full of momentum, suddenly flapped sideways after hearing Zuo Hang’s command, quickly turning back just before colliding with Gible, similar flowing light lit up on its wings to Dragon Rush, and at the same time the electric light originally swirling on its wings hadn’t faded!
—Quick Attack + Aerial Ace!
Gible isn’t Flying-type, it can fly only due to the temporary effect of the skill Dragon Rush, before evolving Gible has no wings and can’t maneuver emergently in the sky like Fletchling, Dragon Rush missed the target, Gible tried to stop the skill but the inertia of Dragon Rush carried it forward.
This was unavoidable before evolving into Gabite.
And Fletchling just seized the opening where Gible rushed forward due to inertia!
‘Reaction speed and speed are equally important!’
Rotor! Dance! Slash!
Aerial Ace light crisscrossed and flashed on Gible!
The technique honed on Mr. A, even continuous releases of the same skill won’t interrupt!
When Fletchling’s attack power wasn’t enough, to leave damage on Mr. A it had to attack the same spot continuously!
“Gible! Dig!”
Aerial Ace slashed four or five times, Gible didn’t turn to counterattack, the timing of Dig synced almost perfectly with the trainer’s command.
It didn’t stay underground long, just a breath’s time, Gible burst out from under Fletchling, white skill light shining on its forehead.
—Dig + Tackle!
Fletchling didn’t hear the underground movement, but its excellent reaction speed made it flap up the instant Gible broke the surface!
Gible’s head grazed past its claws.
Tackle missed!
“Flame!”
As soon as Zuo Hang spoke, Fletchling inhaled immediately, a weird Flame with deep pink highlights sprayed from its belly.
Gible didn’t block, fire is weak against dragon, let alone a move with just 40 power Flame.
Gible still vividly remembered the Flame from two days ago that flew halfway and extinguished itself.
I’ll just tank one hit from you, what can you do?
You gonna one-shot me with a single Flame?
That’s what he thought.
But when the Flame hit, he vaguely felt something off.
This fire was exceptionally hot, and the flames contained an energy he extremely disliked.
“—Boom~~~”
After burning for a breath, the flames suddenly exploded, black smoke rising around Gible.
“This Flame explodes too?” Jiang Yuan’s Trainer frowned tightly.
“Is this damn thing Flame or Fire Blast?!”
Zuo Hang’s expression was subtle.
Truth be told.
He didn’t know either.
But it should be mini Moonblast plus half-assed Flame combination technique.
No name yet.
Zuo Hang never names things.
But he knew one thing.
Last night in the training hall.
‘Well taught, Gardevoir! I’m trash!’
“Fletchling! Grind him!”
“—Boom~~~”
Fletchling spat another mini Moonblast + Flame into the black smoke.
“Grind him! Keep grinding!”
“—Boom~~boom~~~”
Continuous mini Moonblast + Flame! Fletchling is good at continuous skill releases, always fighting Mr. A, nothing else but tons of energy!
Jiang Yuan’s Trainer was stunned by Fletchling’s weird Flame for a few seconds, forgetting to command, Gible ate several Flames hard.
When he snapped back, he immediately shouted: “Draco Meteor!”
A crimson-golden dragon flame lit up in the black smoke.
“Too late, Fletchling, Quick Attack plus Aerial Ace!”
Blue slashing cut dragging electric light tore through the thick smoke, figure spun in the black smoke, dodging the sudden crimson-golden dragon flame, the sharpened wings after evolution sliced across Gible’s body, then burst out from the black smoke!
A breath later.
Gible landed.
Four or five cuts added to its body, the one on its belly especially obvious, as if a bit deeper and it could hit organs.
Fletchling didn’t hold back.
But even his full-power strike could only do this much, Gible’s body toughness far exceeded Mr. A’s.
“How’s that? Still fighting?”
“Fight!”
Jiang Yuan’s Trainer was stubborn.
As soon as he spoke, Gible suddenly fell, eyes still open, single leg supporting, barely able to stand again, but in this posture, clearly no ability to battle anymore.
The miss on the tower put down her mobile phone, waved the blue side’s small flag.
“Alright, you won again, get ready for the next match.”
