Chapter 43: The Undefeated Weakest…..
The commentator, standing on a circular Flying Device, drawled:
——“The Blue Side’s next contestant is also a newcomer, a guy from home ground White Dragon High School. This weather~~~oh~~~~it’s raining, looks like it’s a drizzly day. Wait, this rainfall is a downpour! It’s a rainy day! Sandstone venue with rainy day! Feels like another famous scene is about to be born.”
“So. First, let’s welcome the Blue Side’s newcomer, his ID is the weakest. The undefeated Ice Dragon Slayer. Ahem. Alright, this undefeated Ice Dragon Slayer wearing a Caterpillar mask has arrived, oh, and his Pokémon. is a Snowy Child!”
“I wonder if this newcomer can get his debut battle’s first win like his ID.”
Xingye’s opponent was a trainer wearing a blue short-sleeved uniform and a black Smiling Face Mask.
This was Yingzhou Academy’s school uniform.
Among the Nine Great High Schools, White Dragon ranks first, Yingzhou hovers around 3rd or 4th every year, always managing a decent score in academy ranking battles, with strength in the upper middle among the Nine Great High Schools.
The commentator’s voice came from above, “Looks like this newcomer’s luck isn’t great, the Red Side’s this one is Yingzhou’s regular winner.”
Saying that, the Smiling Face Mask trainer took out a Poké Ball, a red light flashed, and a humanoid Pokémon much taller than the Snowy Child appeared in the rain.
“Combusken!!”
This was a Combusken, covered in orange and yellow feathers, with a flame-shaped headwear on its head, three extremely sharp claws, sturdy legs, a Fire-type and Fighting Type Pokémon.
Fire and Fighting both deal double damage to Ice, Snowy Child is slightly disadvantaged in attributes, but the current rainy day restricts Fire-type Pokémon’s performance to some extent.
Snowy Child slowly walked toward the Combusken, with every step, the rainwater around its body condensed into cold Frost, the rainwater falling on the sandstone venue began to quickly freeze, trying to turn the original sandstone venue into a smooth ice surface!
Ultimate Ice attribute control!
The pupils under the black mask flashed with a hint of shock, “Combusken! Double Kick!”
Legs powered up, sandstone and half-frozen rainwater splashed up at the same time, Combusken accelerated a few steps, the distance between them quickly closing!
“Snowy Child! Ice Shard!”
Rainwater condensed into ice, forming two Ice Blades on both sides of Snowy Child’s hands, Snowy Child has no fingers and can’t grip the blades, and these two “Ice Blades” weren’t “held” but floated above Snowy Child’s black round hands.
Like suspended by Psychic, but without Psychic’s red light, it looked very imposing, actually just minor Ice attribute control.
——Skill Ice Shard: Power 40, Ice Physical Attack, instantly creates ice blocks to attack the opponent.
And what Snowy Child did was just turn blunt ice blocks into sharp blades.
Combusken had already rushed in front of Snowy Child, the ice surface under its feet far more solid than at the start, every step Combusken took made the ice crackle.
Double Kick aimed at Snowy Child’s face, Ice Blade slashed down, the short leg slipped on the ice, easily dodging Combusken’s kick, the floating Ice Blades in its hands crossed and slashed chaotically!
——Double Trouble!
Ice Blades left three cuts on Combusken, but the suddenly surging flames forced Snowy Child to retreat, Flame Charge’s heatwave evaporated the rainwater around its body, the ice underfoot began to melt, faint electric light wrapped around Combusken, palm chopping down!
——Flame Charge + Quick Attack + Chop!
“Ice Breath plus Headbutt!”
Snowy Child obeyed, exhaled a breath of Ice Breath, its triangular sharp head thrusting toward Combusken’s belly.
“——Urp~~” Combusken coughed up sour water, Snowy Child’s petite form was extremely agile on the ice, a mere crouch dodged his chopping palm, the following Headbutt seemed to hit his stomach, before he could feel breakfast churning, its claws were slashed twice by the Ice Blades.
Enduring the pain, it kicked fiercely at Snowy Child, at such close range Double Kick couldn’t miss again, Snowy Child rolled far away on the ice.
Flames on Combusken surged, Blaze had been triggered, Flame Charge ignited together, no fancy moves this time, it charged straight at Snowy Child.
Flames melted the ice underfoot, the venue Snowy Child deliberately created couldn’t restrict him.
Fire hits Ice, super effective!
Already hit by a Fighting Type Double Kick, Snowy Child absolutely couldn’t withstand Flame Charge boosted by Blaze.
Just as the battle seemed about to end, the charging Combusken suddenly paused, a stabbing pain came from its feet, looking down, under the melted ice was hidden sharp stone fragments like nails.
This wasn’t the original sandstone venue, but a skill Snowy Child quietly scattered while creating the ice surface.
——Spikes: Ground Type, scatters Spikes on the venue, dealing damage to Pokémon.
Combusken suddenly stopped, the nail-like stone fragments under the ice made it secretly alarmed, this thing wasn’t something you could just step on.
In this brief moment of stunned pause, Snowy Child’s Ice Blades had already landed on its neck.
Double Trouble and Spikes, one Ghost Type one Ground Type.
Others might not have noticed, but Zuo Hang unconsciously frowned.
If he remembered correctly, these two skills Snowy Child could only obtain through breeding.
If it only knew one, that was normal.
But Snowy Child knowing both was theoretically possible, but required breeding several generations.
In a game it needed luck and grinding, in reality it needed massive time and manpower, one generation breeding to the next. This wasn’t like a game where you could just grind it out.
Xingye seemed to have said he was from a big family in Yingzhou, and when Zuo Hang mentioned the surname Xingye to Old Man, his first reaction was that people with this surname use blades.
And Snowy Child seemed to know a bit about blades too.
So, Xingye had indeed been playing weak before, just unknown which tiger he wanted to eat.
*
Combusken hadn’t lost combat ability, the black mask trainer didn’t issue further instructions.
He proactively recalled Combusken, conceding defeat.
If Snowy Child’s Ice Blades landed, Combusken would lose half its life at least.
Everyone was from the Nine Great High Schools, and this was White Dragon’s home ground, stopping here was perfectly fine.
*
Xingye walked out of the arena, removed his mask and said, “That was close, almost lost.”
“Yeah, really close.” Zuo Hang said: “You still battling?”
Xingye waved his hand, “Nah, tired, you go, I’ll rest a bit.”
*
On the other side.
The referee on the Flying Device said, “This Caterpillar guy got his first win, I just got word that this undefeated Ice Dragon Slayer has no intention to continue, so let’s welcome Blue Side’s next one.~~~oh~~~~~this is a contestant not wearing a mask and using his real name directly.”
Shark once little boss, I’m satisfied（dog）
ps: Double Trouble: Continuously attacks the opponent two to three times, dealing greater damage to opponents in abnormal status.
