No.342 Breaking the sound barrier with a reflection of shadows
As we all know, there are two common uses of invisible rocks.
First, with the help of the Invisible Rock, which can be briefly transparent after being issued, a small stone blade is buried near the opponent. The rock is sensitive to energy fluctuations, and when it senses the energy in the Pokémon's body, it will quickly crash into it like a magnet to attack—a usage often called "pitons" and is often used to create traps in the wild.
The second is to condense the largest possible volume of invisible rock, which is so heavy that it cannot move as fast as a small stone blade, and is generally used as an invisible obstacle.
Shakiras, who is a little ten, obviously uses the second usage. The transparent pillars only manifest when they are directly touched, or when they are exposed to obvious energy fluctuations, and before the Triple Wheel Singing begins, Saya doesn't even know when Shakirath has buried such a large number of invisible rocks.
Through the cracks in the stone, Xiao Ye could barely see Ghost Stone's flying figure, and all commands were intercepted from the loud noise. She stood silently in place, not trying to shout meaninglessly, nor giving up observing every detail of the battlefield.
She believed that Ghost Stone, who had lived a long life, had a flexible enough mind to understand what needed to be done most at this time.
On the field, Ghost Stone, who suddenly lost the trainer's instructions, looked a little confused. With the two doubles enough to sustain the noise, Shakirath himself had stopped singing, emitting pitch-black waves that the ghosts feared. And the ghost stone howled and howled everywhere, but fortunately, the noise of the round singing became a protective wall, and its broken gong voice did not cause mental pollution to all the audience.
Shakiras's cold gaze rested on Ghost Stone.
It had noticed that although Ghost Stone was howling in disarray, his dodging movements were not chaotic at all. The precise strafing waves of evil were completely avoided, and even the irregular explosion of energy rings was dodged by its seemingly panicked flutter.
Ghost Stone howled dryly, rolling his eyes. The effects of the noise are two-way, and Shakilas is likewise unable to receive instructions from the trainer. If it's only one attack pattern—
As soon as the thought arose, Shakiras's main body suddenly stopped attacking and started a round song instead. Ghost Stone was stunned for a moment, and the next second he was attacked by a sharp pain from behind, and the pitch-black energy exploded into a cloud of sparks in the air.
It was an attack from Shakiras's stand-in.
Ghost Stone only felt that his non-existent internal organs were about to vomit in pain, but he also knew that if he didn't move at the moment, it would hurt even more. The dark purple ghost flew out of the firelight with a terrible howl, and at a glance it saw the stand-in that had just emitted the wave of evil—it had not continued to spit out black energy beams, and had already switched back to singing.
The nimble-brained ghost immediately understood what was going on, and made a 270-degree turn and changed direction urgently. Sure enough, a third wave of evil flew past its body, so frightened that it almost spat out soul fire again.
When Ghost Stone was exhausted, the trainer had vaguely guessed Xiaotian's playing style with the help of the intermittent picture of the stone crack.
One main body and two stand-ins, the "three" Shakirath stand in different positions within the stone ring, constantly changing the insignees of the waves of evil. Although the maintenance of the round singing prevents multiple lines of fire from overlapping, the unwarning change of direction is enough to make the Pokémon who are not good at dodging dizzy.
This style of play doesn't require Shakiras to move quickly - which is why Xiao Tianming knows that the frozen ground is not good for him, but he still has the confidence to let Shakiras go out of command to fight.
And in fact, this tactic did work enough.
The light-blooded ghost stone had already seen a gold star in his eyes after being hit by the wave of evil, and he was about to fall to the ground at any time. Perhaps knowing that he couldn't resist the same attack a second time, Ghost Stone's dodge became more and more urgent, and he didn't even have the strength to pretend to be panicked. However, in the face of the three-way attack, Ghost Stone was distracted and finally revealed his flaws.
The wave of evil was like a sharp sword pointing at the vital point, and it once again set off a roaring sound. As the smoke and dust soared, the dark purple ghost fell weakly.
Shakiras, who had won the blow, stopped his attack. Just as it was about to interrupt the release of the round singing, it suddenly caught a glimpse of a hazy white light flickering on Ghost Stone's body.
In the next moment, countless real and false phantoms suddenly poured out, filling everywhere along with the smoke of the explosion. Shakiras was not stunned for a moment, and the ghost stone body hidden in the clone was already grinning.
It's a ghost-based Pokémon, and deceiving people is what it does best - the wave of evil didn't hit it at all, and the shield of light that it guarded didn't open until the last moment, protecting the ghost tightly. Bursts of dark energy and smoke obscured the green light, making Shakirath unaware of its small movements.
The black and red shadow spread from the real and fake ghost stone. The power of the Night Shadow struck the earth, reflected off the smooth surface of the ice, and splattered in all directions.
After the little Snow Boy joins the party, Ghost Stone notices something that is undetectable in the Dark Forest.
- For example, in addition to light, there are also shadows that can be reflected by the surface of ice.
The dark shadow energy was like a spider's web, spreading to every corner of the stone ring almost instantly. Countless cracks surfaced on the trembling invisible rock, and with a loud boom, all the stone pillars shattered at the same time.
As the smoke enveloped the field, the constantly reflected sound waves finally lost their next turning point. The noise of the cut-off command dissipated.
At the moment when the invisible rock collapsed, Xiao Ye seemed to have expected such a scene, and threw out the command every second, "Share the pain." ”
Xiao Tian's heart suddenly sounded an alarm bell.
His Shakiras had systematically trained the use of the stand-in, and was able to accurately control the physical strength of the stand-in. Now that it had lost only half of its stamina, Ghost Stone had already been severely injured by the fluctuations of evil, and once the pain sharing worked, all the advantages of this battle could be wiped out.
The thought flashed through his mind, and he almost subconsciously ordered, "Jump." ”
Shakiras suddenly erupted a strong jet of air, propelling its body like a rocket through the smoke and dust into the sky. Pain sharing isn't a long-range move like the Shadow Ball, and Shakirath jumps so fast that Ghost Stone, who isn't good at moving at high speeds, can't catch up with it.
At the moment when Shakiras's figure broke through the smoke and dust, Xiao Tian heard a new indication from the opposite side.
"Spark – up. ”
Xiao Tian suddenly realized that the purpose of the "Share the Pain" instruction was actually to deceive the position, and the blue fire rain had come again. Shakirath was able to go on a rampage at breakneck speed, but the inertia of his heavy body prevented him from steering. The rain of fire scattered from the bottom to the top was like a large net of teeth and claws, impermeable under the weaving of spiritual power, and Shakiras felt a strong burning pain in an instant.
"Shadow Ball. ”
Xiao Ya kept adding attack commands for a moment. Ghost Stone's figure was still hidden in the smoke and dust, and a continuous stream of dark energy balls shot out like bullets. Before they could touch their target, Shakiras's figure suddenly disappeared into the red light.
Pokémon swap ......?
The rhythm of the battle was abruptly interrupted again, and Sayo was already vaguely able to guess what was going to happen next. She shouted decisively, "Shadow clone—"
In the next second, a white light suddenly appeared. The huge wind blade cuts through the smoke and dust, purifying the battlefield into a clear place.
Ghost Stone's doppelgangers shattered in the wind. The main body narrowly and narrowly avoided the attack of the wind blade, and with a frightened expression on his face, he fled back to the trainer in embarrassment.
On the opposite side of the battlefield, the turquoise insect warrior raised his scythe, and the blue disc hovered around his body for a long time.
Flying Mantis.
Before the match, Saya guessed that Saya might use Shakirath against Ghost Stone, so he deliberately worked with Ghost Stone to clarify the key to the tactic - trying to use Ghost Fire to make Shakirath fall into a burn state, weakening the opponent's physical strength and attack ability, so that it can no longer fight a protracted war of attrition. But they didn't expect that Xiao Tian chose the Pokémon exchange the moment Shakirath was hit by the ghost fire, and all the subsequent pursuit routines that had been practiced became useless.
Ghost Stone and the Flying Mantis briefly circled for a moment.
The Insect Warrior's blade light is extremely fast, and its sharp air blade poses a great threat to Ghost Stone. The Flying Mantis's attack pattern is somewhat similar to that of Saya's Daibitori - its attack speed is fast and agile, and its wielding scythes are able to slice through Ghost Stone's Shadow Orb in one hit.
Unlike Shakiras's relatively slow pace, Ghost Stone could barely find a respite under the onslaught of the Flying Mantis, let alone break the situation with his changing moves.
Less than ten seconds after the battle, Xiao Ye decisively found a gap and retracted Ghost Stone. At the same time as the panting ghost turned into a red light, another red and white ball had been thrown.
When the Pokémon in the white light appeared, a huge cheer suddenly rang out - the Dabido, who has feathers the same color as the sun and has repeatedly performed meritorious services on this sports field, appeared.
In the first two competitions, the high-speed battle made the big bird out of the limelight and gained a lot of supporters. But Saya didn't have time to thank the people who were cheering for Tabitori at the moment - in a battle with fast fights, it was always the side with more favorable attributes, more mobility, and faster speed that had the absolute advantage. Xiao Tian naturally knows this truth, and will definitely take back the Flying Mantis as soon as possible.
Therefore, Saya needs to deal maximum damage before the thirty-second swap cooldown has passed.
"Hot air!"
The bird spreads its broad wings, and the blazing wind and waves gush out horizontally, and then as the bird closes its wings, it quickly strikes forward.
Although the name of the flying mantis has the word "feitian" in its name, its wings are mostly used to accelerate when running on land, and rarely take off completely. Dabi Bird uses a move with a wide range of hot wind, which is difficult to break the surface with a point, and the usage is closed from the outside to the inside, which is obviously a standard operation of movement suppression, trying to force the flying mantis to take off and dodge.
Xiao Tian knew that the flexibility of the flying mantis in the air would be greatly reduced, and he would definitely not be able to cope with the high-speed combo of Dabi Bird, so he naturally would not be fooled by this. He immediately ordered, "Spin the air slash." ”
The Worm Warrior danced the storm, its blades spinning and turning into walls that protected it, keeping the scorching wind and waves out completely.
"Splash sand. ”
As Xiao Ye's voice fell, Dabi Bird flapped its wings violently, and with the help of the momentum of the hot wind, it rolled up the sand and dust on the ground, almost creating a small sandstorm that covered half of the field.
"Flashes of light—"
"Steel wings. ”
The boy seemed to have expected it, and the voice followed the girl's command, which made Xiao Ye slightly stunned.
The sand and dust could not stop the bird's sharp gaze. The Bird flickered towards the Flying Mantis like an arrow from a string, and the Insect Warrior's wings flashed with silver light, and he swung forward with confidence, repelling the Bird with precision as if it had seen through the smoke.
After the crisp sound of the handover of gold and iron, the brief "sandstorm" gradually stopped.
In the exclamation of the audience, the young man still calmly watched the battlefield.
He carefully observed every habit of the Tabito that had been used in the battle. In order to ensure that the attack is fast enough, it always chooses the shortest straight path when high-speed combat starts. This is the right thing to do, but when facing an opponent who knows it, the same "correctness" becomes the basis for reading out the direction of the attack first.
The Tabito, who was repelled by the steel wings, spun around for a week and could attack again at any time. Before Xiao Ye could give her next instructions, the silver-haired boy suddenly said the name of a move that should never have appeared on the Flying Mantis.
"Dig holes. ”
====================
Small Theatre:
Ghost Stone howled and scurried around, but fortunately, the noise of the round singing became a protective wall, and its broken gong voice did not cause mental pollution to all the audience.
Ghost Stone: (Ghost crying wolf) Ahh
Shakiras: (stares cold) You guy, even though you howl in embarrassment, you don't dodge in the slightest, and you still have the heart to sing bel canto!
