Chapter 144 Gu Fengyuan, the God Who Controls Rhythm! (4k words, please vote!)

Tapea throws out a Poké Ball.

Appearing in the arena was an Electric-type Pokémon with blue and yellow interwoven fur and a dog-like appearance!
Raiden, the Pokémon that generates electricity!
Upon seeing the Thunder Beast, Jinghe immediately understood Tapia's thoughts.

The reason Magneton lost was largely due to the Blacksmith's skillful use of his hammer to attract lightning; otherwise, if it had been hit by Thunderbolt, the outcome would have been uncertain.

However, the Blacksmith's three "Rock Smash" attacks left a deep impression, as the Steel-type Magneton was at a type disadvantage.

Electabuzz, on the other hand, does not have this weakness and can easily enjoy the advantages brought by "Electric Terrain".

Jinghe didn't even need to check the Thunder Beast's Pokédex to guess that Tapea's Thunder Beast's ability was definitely "Static"!
[Static Electricity: When encountering contact-type attacks, there is a certain probability of paralyzing the opponent.]

Furthermore, Raiden is much faster than Magneton.

The problem is that Jinghe also chose to replace Pokémon, and the Pokémon that replaced the Master Blacksmith is...
"Kou Jie~~"

Gastly appeared in the arena with a sinister grin, letting out a cunning, villainous laugh in front of the crowd.

Dear viewers, your Ghost Baby has arrived!
There were actually some fans in the audience holding up Gastly support signs!
"Thunder Beast, run! Thunderbolt!"

Tapia frowned, having made up his mind.

Golden electricity burst forth from the Thunder Beast's thick golden mane, converging into a dazzling beam of light that shot out.

boom! !

The "Thunderbolt" empowered by "Electric Field" struck Gastly head-on at extremely high speed, tearing it into countless pieces.

Wow!
Gastly is gone?
"It's a Stand! Gastly used a Stand!" the commentator shouted.

Even if it's a "stand-in," where did Gastly go?
"Thunder Beast, watch out behind you!"

Tapia, who had done a lot of research on Jinghe and Gastly, shouted immediately.

Jinghe's Gastly loves to ambush from behind!

as predicted!

As Raichu looked behind it, another grinning Gastly emerged from the shadows.

Golden arcs of light erupted from Electaur's body once again, and the released electricity tore apart Gastly that appeared behind it once more!
Ok?
Is it another stand-in?

Jing He smiled slightly.

"Ghost, highly poisonous."

On top of Electabuzz, Gastly's claws produced a viscous, purple venom, which it threw at Electabuzz before it could react.

The golden mane was immediately stained purple by the toxin, emitting a hissing, corrosive sound.

"It's Dusknoir! Gastly used Dusknoir to deceive Razer's judgment!" the commentator shouted again.

Only then did the audience realize what was going on.

It turned out to be the "Shadow of the Night"!
just.

To mistake the "Shadow of the Night" for a "stand-in" is truly not the way most people think.

The Thunder Beast is now in a "poisonous" state.

Next, Gastly will likely face a series of misfortunes, including a "baptism" and the usual "defend or not defend" tactic.

however.

Tapia, however, issued an instruction that most people couldn't understand.

"Thunder Beast, rain!"

"Ouch——"

Despite the excruciating pain from the poison, the Thunder Beast roared to the sky, and clusters of dark clouds instantly appeared, quickly gathering above the arena, and a light drizzle immediately began to fall.

Asking for rain?

Jing He narrowed his eyes slightly, and in his mind he had a general idea of ​​what Tapia's next move would be.

However, it would be a waste not to seize the opportunity to change the weather with moves during a battle.

"Misfortune never comes singly!"

Gastly emerged from the ground, slyly licked its tongue, and pointed with its claws. Immediately, a cloud of black mist shot out and swept towards Electamon.

boom! !

Because of Raiden's current "poisonous" state, the damage caused by "Misfortune never comes singly" is doubled!

"Ouch!!"

The Thunder Beast roared in pain.

next second.

Jinghe and Tapia's voices rang out almost simultaneously.

No, Jinghe's command came even earlier!
"Ghostly, Strange Light".

"Thunderoku, Volt Switch!"

The small ball, shimmering with a strange light, seemed to float very slowly, but in fact, it landed on the Thunder Beast before it could.

The lightning that the Thunder Beast had painstakingly gathered suddenly scattered, and four golden birds seemed to appear on its head, spinning around.

After being in a "poisonous" state, Raiden has now fallen into a "chaotic" state!
"Teacher Jinghe read first! He seemed to have anticipated Teacher Tapea's purpose and forcibly interrupted Thunder Beast's 'Volt Substitution'!"

Here it comes, let's read the familiar parts first!

Jing He rubbed his chin, thinking to himself:

You've gone all out with this "rain-summoning" stunt; your intentions are way too obvious.
"Rain Dance" brings "rainy" weather, and then Raichu's next move will either be "Thunder" to fight desperately, or "Volt Switch" to prepare for the next Pokémon.

However, Gastly's Protect was not enough, and Thunder was obviously not fatal, so Volt Replacement was the most likely option.

“Ghost, let’s have another one of these misfortunes,” Jinghe said.

"口桀口桀~~ヾ(▼▼；)"

Another cloud of black mist entered the Thunder Beast's body.

Oh!

The Thunder Beast was shrouded in shadow.

The referee lowered the flag representing Tapea's side.

"Thunder Beast is unable to fight!"

Tapia, having recalled Thunder Beast, wore a sullen expression.

"A 0-for-2 trade!"

"I had this feeling that Teacher Jinghe's Pokémon weren't much stronger than Teacher Tapea's, so why did the difference seem so huge when they actually fought?"

"That's the role of a trainer. Teacher Jinghe suppressed Teacher Tapea both strategically and tactically."

Most people might not see the key point, but someone like Daigo would find it quite obvious.

“Teacher Tapea’s rhythm was off from the very beginning,” Daigo murmured.

Tapea did indeed investigate Jinghe, especially Haunter and Vulpix.

But the skilled blacksmith was conspicuously overlooked.

There was nothing that could be done about it; no one could have predicted that the little blacksmith would evolve into a skilled blacksmith in just a few days and that his strength would increase so dramatically.

Magneton was originally designed to counter Haunter and Vulpix, thanks to its Electric and Steel typing, giving it an advantage against both Haunter and Vulpix.

In addition, the "electric field" prevents hypnosis, which is a significant advantage.

However, the skilled blacksmith completely disrupted their plans.

Adding to the mix, the Blacksmith's unexpected "hammer lightning rod" caught the three-in-one Magneton and Tapea completely off guard.

After that, Tapea's rhythm completely collapsed.

It couldn't be effective against the Thundurus's ability, so it came down to Gastly.

So, the last one.
Tapia took out a Poké Ball, gave Haunter and Jinghe a deep look, and after confirming that Jinghe had not replaced her Pokémon, she threw out the Poké Ball.

What appeared was a Pokémon that was black and white, like a lizard.

Electric-type Fizzle is an Electric-type Pokémon that is the evolved form of Electric-type Lizard.

These types of Pokémon are more common in the Kalos region.

"It's not surprising that the Photonic Frilled Lizard has the 'dry skin' characteristic," Jing He nodded slightly.

[Dry Skin: Recovers HP when attacked by water-type moves, and also recovers HP during 'rainy' weather.]

Its Normal-type typing grants it immunity to Ghost-type moves, and combined with its Dry Skin ability and Rain ability, it can also use Rain to unleash Thunder.

It is indeed the best choice for dealing with Gastly.

So Jinghe took out a Poké Ball without hesitation and, under the watchful gaze of Tapia with a dark expression, recalled Gastly.

"Come back, Gastly."

The audience burst into laughter.

"Teacher Jinghe, you have no sportsmanship!" "Le, Teacher Tapya's face has turned black."

However, if you don't use moves like "Volt Switch" or "Baton Pass" to switch Pokémon, it will inevitably waste time, which gives Tapea and Seraphim a chance.

"Light-Powered Frilled Lizard, charge!"

sizzle-

Electric sparks flickered across the body of the electric frilled lizard, as the faint lightning in the rain caused it to accumulate its own electricity.

[Charging: Now charging, the power of your next Electric-type move will be doubled!]

At the same time, Jinghe threw out another Poké Ball.

A red light flashed.

Tapea waved his hand and said in a stern voice, "Lightning Frill Lizard, thunder!"

[Thunderbolt: A powerful Electric-type move with a power of 110, its accuracy is greatly increased in rainy weather!]

Within the dense black clouds, golden thunderbolts surged forth!

Boom! !
Just as the red light began to fade, lightning bolts, resembling golden serpents, poured down!

This is a "thunderbolt" that has been "charged"!
boom! !

The golden lightning exploded like a bomb, accompanied by countless flying pebbles and sand, raising a cloud of dust.

Hit?
It must have hit!

After all, it was thundering in the rain.

suddenly.

The electric umbrella lizard raised its head, and a shimmering, crystalline substance landed on it.

Are these snowflakes?

It was only then that the audience noticed.

The rain stopped.

Snowflakes fell, and then the snow intensified.

snow!

The dust that had been raised gradually settled away.

"Ooh, ooh."

The Ice Vulpix appeared in everyone's sight, patting its chest as if it had just recovered from the shock.

This situation, when it was replaced, terrified it.

"It's the weather! Vulpix's ability 'Snowfall' turned the weather during 'Thunder' into 'Snowfall'!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.

At the same time, the audience also noticed
"Why are there two Six-Tails? Are those... those are substitutes?!"

"Holy crap, the Six-Tails is so cautious, it released its Stand as soon as it appeared!"

"Unfortunately, the lightning didn't hit the Six-Tails, nor did it hit its substitute!"

"Charging up inside a Poké Ball? Does that make sense?"

This is perfectly reasonable.

Red defeated Giovanni in a second by using his Pikachu with an internal charge.

They didn't count down, and they didn't throw the Poké Ball at Lizard's face; they were already being very restrained.

"Six-Tails, Blizzard!"

"Ooh—"

Beneath the howling wind and snow, the six tails of the Ice Six-Tails were fully extended, and a faint glimmer of superpowers shone in its eyes. A fierce, extremely cold aura suddenly swept over it.

A raging blizzard instantly enveloped the photoelectric umbrella lizard.

"Using 'snow' to stop 'rain,' and 'blizzard' to respond to 'thunder,' Teacher Jinghe is holding a grudge."

"In snowy weather, there's almost no way to avoid a blizzard."

Tapea and the electric frilled lizard also tried to resist.

"Light-Powered Frilled Lizard, one more time, thunder!"

His move was purely a gamble.

If the lightning strike hits the Ice Vulpix, there might still be a chance to continue the battle; if it fails, then it's truly over.

pity.

Their gamble-like attack was ineffective; the Ice Vulpix's "Substitute" was still active, not to mention that the Ice Vulpix hadn't used "Protect."

Moreover, even after missing out on so many opportunities, Jinghe still has the Blacksmith and Ghost Stone as a safety net.

The outcome is decided!

"Ice Vajra, the final Ice Beam!"

Azure ice crystals enveloped the photoelectric frilled lizard.

Jinghe quickly called out to the Ice Six-Tails, which was cautiously preparing to unleash another "Frozen Beam".

That's enough.

Don't let them get angry and demand medical expenses later.

"Ooh?"

Ice Vulpix blinked.

I just feel...
I haven't had enough fun yet.

It felt like it was just there to make a brief appearance?

That's it?

In fact, excellent tactical command can make Pokémon feel more relaxed during battles.

"The winner is Jing He, a teacher from the Pokémon Psychology Department!!"

Ohh ...
A wave of cheers erupted from the audience.

If the last 12-out-of-3 battle was a tactic that Jinghe used to build a set of tactics based on the characteristics, abilities, and moves of Pokémon, a tactic that anyone could theoretically "copy and paste"?

So this is a six-choose-three game.

Jinghe's tactical acumen and rhythm, evident in the minutiae of battles, are not something everyone can learn or master; they are pure tactical skill.

From the very beginning of the match, Jinghe firmly grasped the rhythm of the game.

There might still be some minor flaws in the last match that could be unfairly criticized, such as Jinghe being lucky enough to be assigned a Pokémon that could be used to build a strategy.

Then there's really nothing to criticize in this match.

Oh, no, it's not that. It's like a skilled blacksmith using a magnet, replacing a Pokémon without any sense of morality, or charging up in a Poké Ball, etc.

If Xiao Heizi wants to, he can always find something to criticize.

Of course, the vast majority of the audience at the scene and those watching the live broadcast greatly admired Jing He's tactical ability and tactical awareness.

"I would call Gu Fengyuan the god who controls rhythm!"

The host then added fuel to the fire, eliciting another wave of cheers from the audience.

Jinghe and Tapea shook hands as they walked through the middle of the field.

Tapia looked dejected, opened his mouth as if to say something, but Jing He patted the back of his hand and said with a smile:
"Teacher Tapea, don't take it too seriously. I was just joking before. You played exceptionally well."

outstanding?

0 to 3?

Please speak in a more human way.

Tapia forced a smile.

"Please don't take my words to heart, Teacher Jinghe."

"rest assured."

Jinghe waved his hand.

"I have a very good mindset."

After saying that, he walked towards the contestants' passage.

Tapia opened her mouth again.

He really wanted to ask if the magnet from the three-in-one Magneton could be returned.

But seeing that Jinghe seemed to have forgotten, and considering that this matter was indeed not that important compared to the outcome of the battle, she ultimately did not say it.
