No.322 The dance of the blade and the sound of thunder

In the shadow of dark clouds, the sound of rain muffled the whispered chatter of the people in the audience.

"It was a really powerful fight. The commentator's voice rang out, "As the first match of the quarterfinals, the battle between the Tyrannosaurus and the Slashing Commander has completely ignited our enthusiasm - ah, although half of it may have been extinguished by the rain." After saying a joke, he looked at the special guest next to him, "What do you think of Mr. Wataru?"

"It was a really exciting fight, and it wasn't surprising even in the final. The red-haired youth smiled and said, "The blade on the top of the commander's head is broken, and I think it's a Pokémon that has been expelled from the group." Slash commanders who can't adapt to life outside the tribe often lose their minds because of this, but Bai Lan's ability to command such a slashing commander is enough to see his excellent ability as a trainer. ”

"Commander Slash only used the sword dance in the entire battle, could it be related to the 'loss of mind' you mentioned, Mr. Wataru?" the narrator asked.

"The odds are high. Wataru nodded, "Deranged Pokémon often have difficulty performing moves, and the Beidou player is obviously aware of this, so he uses a style that restricts the actions of the slashing commander." The Tyrannosaurus's combination of surfing and storm was very targeted, but unfortunately it still failed to suppress the charge of the slashing commander after the sword dance. ”

"The next Pokémon of the Hokuto players is Pichu. As the icon of the second Pokémon lit up, the narrator said, "Let's see how the Hokuto players can use Pichu's dexterity and rain to fight against Commander Slash." ”

As soon as the whistle blew, the Slashing Commander's actions were the same as in the first one, and he immediately ran with all his might, approaching Pichu like a bullet.

"Thunder. ”

Unlike the clumsy tactics in previous matches, Pichu showed his maximum power output as soon as he came on the court. Brilliant electric light was released from its tiny body, spreading like an electric snake through the humid air.

The Slash Commander dodged the thunderbolt. The electricity struck the ground with a crackling and popping sound, and it spread like a spider's web in an instant. The Chopping Commander only felt a numbness in the soles of his feet, and his movements stalled uncontrollably for a moment.

In this short moment, the scattered electric snakes had already bent and catapulted along the ground, quickly wrapping around the legs of the slashing commander. In the next second, the dazzling electric light completely enveloped the Slashing Commander, and the intense paralysis and pain caused the Slashing Commander to let out a hoarse shout.

The muddy ground reflected the golden yellow of electricity, which immediately pierced Bai Lan's eyes.

In the previous battle, the venue was flooded and carried the running and jumping of two Pokémon, which were already full of large and small potholes. The puddles formed by the rainwater pooling in the potholes are not deep, but they are large enough to serve as a carrier of electricity.

Commander Slash may be able to dodge a frontal attack of thunder with his high speed, but water conducts electricity more easily than air, and strong electric shocks from under his feet are not so easy to dodge.

"Rush over. "Bai Lan's instructions were as clear as their intentions, and there was no hint of concealment.

The Slash Commander has no long-range attacks, and even if he is to be electrocuted, he must rush to his opponent before he is seriously injured and falls to the ground—the steel helmeted Pokémon charges again, and Pichu thunders again, imprinting the pain into the rain-soaked Slash Commander's bones.

It seemed to have lost its sense of pain, and rushed forward lifelessly from the damage of the electric shock. There was still an arc of electricity on the armor, and the Slash Commander had raised his steel blade and slashed at Pichu.

As soon as the Commander's arm was raised, Sayo gave the command of the "shadow clone". The release of the electric light immediately stopped, and Pichu ran lightly, swishing into a dozen of himself, running haphazardly on the dirt floor, quite like an electric rat hole.

The shadow clone is just a false light and shadow, far less flexible than Pichu itself. The running shadows were slashed off by the commander in three or two slashes, but Pichu was not slow to create new clones. For a moment, I saw a large group of Pichu surrounding the Chopping Commander, and did not forget to release the electric shock as they ran in a circle.

The physical strength of the slashing commander has long been consumed to the point where he can no longer eat attacks at will, and even if the power of the electric shock is far inferior to that of thunder, he has to fight to dodge. It was dizzy from the hordes of Pichu and the beams of electric shocks from all directions, and every now and then an electric current struck the waterlogged ground, and the faint current that reached the soles of its feet was not enough to cause noticeable damage, only to make it more and more irritable in a slight paralysis after a slight paralysis.

After a moment, the golden-eyed boy frowned. He noticed that the Slash Commander's movements were gradually becoming a little stiffer—although the magnitude of the change was so subtle that even the trainer himself would not have been able to detect it if it weren't for Brand's extremely precise grasp of his Pokémon's state—the soft mud did interfere with its explosive pace, but it shouldn't have been so significant.

Looking at the golden arc jumping between the puddles, Bai Lan suddenly sensed something.

"Sword Dance!"

The Slash Commander roared and danced a flaming dance, his swinging steel blade stirring up a strong current, turning into a tornado of sword light that swept through the sky.

It was an air knife that could only be created by an extremely sharp weapon, and suddenly it was impossible to tell whether it was the aura wave of the sword dance or the embodiment of the slashing commander's fierce momentum - with the slashing commander as the center, the sweeping air blade instantly emptied all shadows. The stagnant water in the pit was blown away by the whirlwind, and even Pichu himself almost fell to his head. A huge circle appeared in the center of the muddy field, and only the area swept by the air blade was clean, not even a drop of water stained remained.

Seeing this scene, many viewers were surprised. On the one hand, he was amazed at the power of the Sword Dance, and on the other hand, although the Slash Commander was tired of dodging under the entanglement of the shadow clone, no matter how you looked at it, Pichu, who was using both the electric shock and the shadow clone, was more likely to get tired, so was it really necessary to use the sword dance here to use a move that consumed a lot of physical strength?

As we all know, enhancements such as Sword Dance and Dragon Dance will inevitably increase the consumption of physical strength while increasing the Pokémon's abilities in a short period of time, and the greater the enhancement, the faster the consumption. It is dangerous to use power-up moves in situations where protracted combat is required, and it is not uncommon for inexperienced trainers to over-strengthen and over-strengthen.

When both Xiaojie and Yojin showed thoughtful expressions, Xinghai quickly recalled the battle when Pichu came out in the third round. When fighting the Mosquito Frog Emperor, Pichu used electromagnetic waves disguised as electric shocks, but this trick did not work due to the caution of the Mosquito Frog Emperor's trainers. If Pichu had mixed electromagnetic waves with the continuous electric shock just now, Bai Lan's instructions would have been easy to understand.

Guessing at the guess, the distance between the audience and the battlefield is too far, and Xinghai has no way to distinguish the traces of electromagnetic waves from a pile of true and false electric light. It's just that...... He believed that a teenager who grew up under that man's teachings would never give meaningless instructions.

Well, this speculation should be the truth.

After hearing Bai Lan's instructions for the "Sword Dance" and the qi wave instantly emptied all the puddles carrying the current, Xiao Ye understood that his intentions had been seen through.

The Slash Commander relies heavily on physical attacks, and his paralyzed state will significantly hinder his movements, causing him to directly lose most of his combat power. As a result, Sayo's tactics are centered on this, and the shadow clone causes the Slashing Commander's actions to be halted for a short time, and then uses electric shocks as a means of attack, secretly mixing electromagnetic waves in. The speed of the slashing commander is very fast, and even the electromagnetic waves under the shadow clone that are indistinguishable from the real and false are difficult to hit directly, so Pichu quietly lets the electromagnetic waves hit the ground again and again, and conducts them into the slashing commander's body with the help of puddles of water.

The influence of electromagnetic waves that have undergone secondary conduction will be much weakened, but multiple accumulations can still produce the same effect as direct hits. By the time the trainer noticed the Commander Slashing, it was likely that his movements had been affected beyond ignorance - as it should have been.

Xiao Ye didn't know how Bai Lan noticed the abnormality when the tactics had just begun to be used, and she didn't have time to think about it again. The Slash Commander after the second sword dance has been transformed into an invincible beast, and at the command of the "charge", it catapults towards Pichu like an arrow that pierces the sky.

The golden electric mouse scrambled to dodge. The right foot of the Slash Commander stepped heavily into the mud, and his body changed direction sharply, and he attacked again with a strong air current.

Pichu cast a shadow clone while fleeing for his life, and this time it could no longer use a large number of clones to confuse and slash the commander - all the clones were chopped almost the moment they appeared, and the electric mouse dragged the scattered two shadow clones to escape, and the fluff all over his body was soaked in mud and water, and he looked extremely pitiful.

It wasn't until Pichu suddenly swept 100,000 volts out at the direction of Xiao Ye that it pulled a little distance away from the Chopping Commander, who had to jump to dodge. But there was no respite for Pichu - the first move used was often the most effective, and Blanch and Commander Chopper would no longer be slowed down by the same 100,000 volts.

However, Saya understands what it means for the Commander to slash without even caring about the rhythm of his breathing. After being forced out of the second sword dance by electromagnetic waves, the physical strength of the slashing commander was on the verge of overdraft.

The opponent's rapid gasping made Pichu seem to feel it, and his small body tensed tight, and the crackling arc of his cheeks grew higher and higher. At the same time, the trainer's final instructions finally arrived: "Volt Attack!"

Instead of fleeing with his back to his enemies, Pichu once again bloomed with a brilliant electric light that was even more dazzling than the electric snake among the dark clouds. It rushed forward like a blazing golden meteor, and the commander of the slash, who had already been high-pitched to the extreme, also tried his best to launch the final charge, and the snow-bright silver was all gathered between the sharp blades of his arms.

Both sides poured out all their strength, as if there was no possibility of retraction. Two seconds before the shock collided with the steel blade, the electricity that had bathed Pichu suddenly dissipated.

Before Commander Slash and Bai Lan could react, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out. Almost everyone instinctively closed their eyes, even the murderous Chopping Commander.

The fiery steel blade paused in the air, and the sun's flashes switched to lightning again. The golden meteor that succeeded nimbly reversed course and slammed straight into the Slash Commander from the side—

The moment he jumped, Pichu felt the wind blowing in his face.

The brilliant blade continued to expand in the pupils, and the eyes of the slashing commander were clearly closed.

Pichu didn't have time to think about how Commander Slash could pick up where it was when it was momentarily blinded by the bright light, its senses, its senses, its senses, or its intuition, but it knew it couldn't dodge anymore, and it didn't want to dodge anymore.

The electric mouse burst out with its strongest electric light, slamming into the silver-lit steel blade in desperation with the roar of the thunderstorm.

The electric currents of the explosion and the blades of air staggered and burst out, like scorching flowers, in the vision of thousands of people.

====================

Small Theatre:

As soon as the Commander's arm was raised, Sayo gave the command of the "shadow clone". The release of the electric light immediately stopped, and Pichu ran lightly, swishing into a dozen of himself, running haphazardly on the dirt floor, quite like an electric rat hole.

Pichu: (proudly) Correct the mound, we noble electric rats never hide in their holes, don't confuse us with little Lada.

The noble electric rat Pachlitz, whose whole clan lives in the hollow of the tree: Who called me?

Pichu: ............
