Chapter 136: The Terrifying Skill Creation Talent
“In that case, let’s have a thrilling battle.”
“Go! Corphish!”
Jin Guilin released Corphish.
“Go, Charmander.”
Lu Li also smilingly released Charmander.
“Charmander, this opponent is not simple this time, make sure not to capsize in the gutter.” Lu Li reminded through spiritual power.
“Fire~”
（No problem, I have the advantage this time.）
Clearly knowing how strong the opponent was, Jin Guilin chose to attack proactively.
“Corphish, use Rock Tomb.”
Corphish, upon receiving the command, instantly unleashed Rock Tomb.
Several huge stones instantly condensed, then fell from the sky, heavily smashing around Charmander.
In the real world, Rock Tomb is a quite interesting skill.
This skill is somewhat similar to multiple falling rocks, but its precision is very difficult to control and it’s also easy to dodge by the opponent.
Thus, this skill became an area restriction skill; it has damage, but it’s a bit luck-based.
The agile Charmander precisely dodged every rock.
But due to the rocks being too huge, Charmander was indeed restricted among several huge rocks.
“Seize this opportunity and use Mud Shot.” Jin Guilin hurriedly pressed the advantage.
“Too naive.”
Lu Li, whispering in his heart, shouted: “Flamethrower in a Z-shape!”
Charmander, upon receiving the command, sprayed out flames, turning two bends midway, precisely avoiding every stone; the Flamethrower accurately hit Corphish.
At the same time, Charmander also dodged the mud thrown by Corphish.
The nearby commentator, holding the microphone, shouted hysterically: “Z-shaped Flamethrower!”
“Spectators! Just now, player Lu Li’s Charmander used that miraculous Flamethrower! Its Flamethrower turned two bends!”
“Although the commentator doesn’t know what technique this is, it’s absolutely an outrageous show!”
“As expected… Flamethrower can even turn corners; I should have thought of that earlier.”
Jin Guilin, sighing endlessly in his heart, could only comfort: “Corphish, be ready to use Protect at any moment; the opponent’s attacks are a bit tricky.”
Corphish nodded seriously.
Although Charmander’s Flamethrower didn’t cause fatal damage to it, it caused extreme humiliation.
Flamethrower to the face; Corphish felt its face should have been burned black.
“Corphish, let’s go for close combat.” Jin Guilin commanded.
Charmander’s flame conjuring technique was outrageously strong, and most fire type moves were ranged attacks; Jin Guilin knew he couldn’t fight Charmander at long range.
“In that case, Charmander, let’s not hold back either—meet it head-on!” Lu Li shouted excitedly.
Charmander wasn’t really good at close combat, but defeating Corphish in close combat was absolutely no problem.
“Player Lu Li’s Charmander chose to meet it head-on; what is player Lu Li planning? Giving up his ranged advantage?”
The commentator explained on his own.
Seeing Lu Li voluntarily give up the advantage, Jin Guilin felt a surge of excitement.
Lu Li’s arrogance gave him a chance to turn defeat into victory.
“Corphish, Headbutt!” Jin Guilin shouted excitedly.
Lu Li shouted just as excitedly: “Charmander! Flame Space Walk, dodge the attack! Then Flame Claw!”
Jin Guilin: “???”
Flame Space Walk? Flame Claw?
Not just Jin Guilin—even the nearby commentator and spectators were all confused.
Are there these two moves among fire type moves?
While everyone was puzzled about what these two moves were, Charmander moved.
Facing the charging Corphish, Charmander directly stepped on the void, stepping three times in succession; after dodging Corphish’s Headbutt by going airborne, Charmander activated Flame Claw while flipping over Corphish.
The flame-wrapped claws left three clearly visible scars on Corphish’s back.
“Oh! Arceus above!”
The commentator shouted excitedly: “Charmander seemed to fly just now! And those burning claws—could those be Flame Space Walk and Flame Claw?”
In the observation box, white-haired Leng Qianqiu, seeing this scene, lightly remarked: “Interesting.”
“Moving in the air by stepping on flames, covering claws with fire attribute energy to strike like Metal Claw—this trainer is a monster in move development.” Leng Qianqiu sincerely praised.
Yu Zhonggang nearby also looked at this scene in some surprise, then fell deep into thought.
“When did developing secret techniques become so simple?”
Yu Zhonggang realized Lu Li’s trainer talent might be even more outrageous than his breeder talent.
“Cor!”
（It hurts so much!）
Feeling the pain on its back, Corphish let out a pained wail.
Taking advantage of Charmander’s momentum not slowing after the Headbutt missed its target, Lu Li pressed the attack: “Charmander, give it the final blow—a full-power Flamethrower!”
Flamethrower generally has two states: one focused on control, where the Flamethrower’s power is smaller because Charmander has to split attention to control the flames.
The other is full-power Flamethrower, where Charmander just needs to release fire attribute energy at all costs.
Boom!!!
Bucket-thick Flamethrower instantly engulfed Corphish.
Corphish in the fire pillar let out pained wails.
After the fire pillar dissipated, the completely charred black Corphish lay quietly on the audience seats.
Life protection mechanism triggered; Corphish fell into a fainted state.
“As expected, I still lost, and it didn’t even take 10 minutes.” Jin Guilin, smiling bitterly in his heart, recalled Corphish with the Poké Ball.
Holding the Poké Ball, Jin Guilin said sincerely: “Losing to you, I’m convinced. I hope we have a chance to battle again in the future.”
After speaking, Jin Guilin left the battlefield without looking back; for him, treating Corphish was now most important.
Lu Li also recalled his proudly chest-thrusting “Dragon Pride Heaven.”
“Look at this little guy showing off.” Lu Li shook his head amusedly.
“The champion has appeared!”
“He is player Lu Li from Qingfeng First High School!”
“Let’s congratulate him and wish him to win the championship again in the upcoming southern division match!”
At this moment, the commentator’s voice sounded through the speakers.
As the commentator’s words fell, continuous applause rang out from the audience seats.
“A fire type trainer; it’s not him.” Leng Qianqiu sighed with some regret.
If this person was Spine Dragon’s future trainer, he could just wait idly.
But Charmander was fire attribute, and Leng Qianqiu didn’t think Lu Li would be interested in ice attribute Spine Dragon.
After all, attribute compatibility was key, especially for rookie trainers.
Leng Qianqiu asked curiously: “Gym Leader Yu, does Qingfeng City have any rookie trainers specializing in ice attribute? Preferably from commoner origin and with extreme talent.”
