Elf: This owner is so sunny.

"Change your pet again?"

"Frequent pet changes, this time the one that appears is Steel Crow!"

"First, he changed his pet to let Dragonite appear, and then used Feathered Dragonite to make Dragonite recover. He was actually very good, which happened to be the stage when Pikachu was shrouded in thick fog."

The one who spoke at this time was Ye Ci. Ye Ci did not return to the waiting seat. Instead, she sat next to Xin Li and Popi. Watching the game outside the venue could see the battle between Bai Yu and Chi Hong more clearly than watching it in the waiting seat.

"Sister Yeci, you think very highly of him!" Xiao Bopi held the baby in her arms and looked at Yeci with her big watery eyes.

"Yes!"

Ye Ci nodded and said without rebuttal: "Only after playing against him can you know how outstanding the boy's ideas are. If nothing unexpected happens, he should win the championship of this Masters Tournament."

"Is it true? I heard that the Galar League champion, Dandi, has never lost a single official match." Xin Li raised her eyebrows. This evaluation was too high.

You have to know that Baiyu is only in the semi-finals now and has not yet entered the finals.

Can he really do this?

"Of course. When have you ever seen me say I was wrong?"

After Ye Ci finished speaking, he returned his gaze to the battlefield. Judging from Red's posture, he had no intention of replacing the Pokémon on the field.

"Steel Armor Crow!"

Red looked at Steelix in front of him, he was an old friend again.

It seems that he has listened to what I said to Bai Yu before, and he really took out the best lineup to deal with me, but he has not taken out the divine beast yet.

Is he hiding it, or does he have no intention of dealing with it at all? !
In Red's heart, among Baiyu's strongest Pokémon, the two Ursa Major and Darkrai are definitely at the top of the list, and of course there is also the starter water Pokémon from the Hoenn region, Swampert!
"Steeljay, provocation!" Bai Yu was still cautious. Laplace was better at using Song of the End than Gengar. Combined with singing, it was definitely the best Pokémon to stay on the field.

The only flaw is that Lapras doesn't have a move that locks on the opponent's Pokémon.

This is also a Pokémon that is slowly becoming outdated with the change of versions.

The Steel Crow let out a low cry and flapped its jet-black metal wings. Its blood-red eyes stared at Laplace in a provocative move.

The evil provocation can prevent the opponent from releasing changing moves for a short period of time.

"Water cannons!"

Chihong raised his eyebrows. He actually took the initiative to use provocation. Was he afraid that his Laplace would use the Song of the End?
It has to be said that Chihong did have this idea, but he would not use this trick in this battle. On the one hand, it was because of the instability of Song of the End, and on the other hand, Baiyu had used a similar trick before.

He was very clear about the characteristics of this move.

However, the appearance of provocation did disturb Chihong's thoughts.

Laplace stood there motionless, the azure light from his mouth accumulated and flowed out, and the next moment, an astonishing blue water column attacked.

The water cannon of the water system. Although Steelix is ​​not weak to water, the power of the water cannon itself is not weak.

"Get out of the way!" Bai Yu responded calmly.

The Steel Crow flapped its wings and moved quickly in the air. Although its speed was not very fast, it was able to perfectly avoid the attack of the water cannon.

A column of water passed in front of Steelix. Steelix suddenly flapped its wings and retreated backwards. Its figure kept circling in the air, taking this opportunity to get closer to Laplace.

Compared to Laplace, Steelix prefers close combat.

"Push it back, water wave!"

Red would not let Steelix get close to him for nothing.

The amazing water column gushing out of Laplace's mouth disappeared, and his body slammed the ground suddenly, splashing a layer of water. The fierce water flow surged up instantly, covering Steel Crow's entire field of vision.

This is intended to force Steelix back.

Bai Yu reacted instantly and shouted, "Take it hard and use Iron Wall."

Steel Crow understood Bai Yu's meaning in an instant, flapped its wings, and stopped not far from Laplace. Its pitch-black metal surface once again emitted a silver-white light.

The iron wall of steel.

"Break it up!"

The water stream suddenly hit Steel Crow's body. Steel Crow held on for two seconds, then flapped its wings to escape from the erosion of the water stream. The black armor was stained with silver-white light, proving that at this moment Steel Crow had already completed the Iron Wall move.

Freed from the current, Steel Crow flapped its wings, and the water stains on its feathers fell off. Steel Crow remained suspended in the air, staring at Laplace below.

"Laplace, Tide Whirl!"

"Rapp~"

Laplace set his sights on the Steelix in the sky.

An astonishing stream of water burst out, and a stream of water spiraled, trying to drag Steel Crow into the range of the spiral.

The power of the water-type Twirl is not outstanding. What is really powerful is the damage suffered at intervals after the Twirl, and Pokémon cannot be replaced at will in the Twirl state.

In the anime, the situation presented by the whirlpool is that the venue is covered with water, and the entire venue becomes a battle venue that water Pokémon likes, but this is obviously unrealistic.

That level of water output was released by Pogamon. Not to mention Pogamon, even its evolved form, Emperor Nabo, might not be able to do it.

Under normal circumstances, the water flow will transform into a tornado, binding the Pokémon in front of it in place.

Similar to Onix's Bind, except the body is replaced by water. The general attack method is the same, both of which are to put the Pokémon into a restrained state.

Steelix is ​​not weak to water, but that doesn't mean its condition won't deteriorate after being attacked by Tidal Wave, or even become trapped in a bound state, which is disadvantageous for subsequent battles.

"Low your body and use a pounce!"

The blood-red eyes of Steel Crow flashed slightly, and its body suddenly lowered and rushed downward. The movement was very large, and the descending speed was increasing little by little. An astonishing momentum was perfectly released.

Compared to the whirlwind, this attack is more powerful.

The red eyes focused, "Stick to it!"

That stream of water stuck directly to it like a dog-skin plaster.

Steel Crow's body was instantly restrained by the water flow. The brown aura rising from Steel Crow kept colliding with the water flow, and finally broke free. Steel Crow still had the strength left to rush towards Laplace.

boom!
Steelix slammed into Lapras, and the powerful force of the attack exploded directly, and a mist rose up on the field, covering the two Pokémon on the field.

Even though the Steelix had already attacked Laplace's body, it still didn't rush out of the mist.

The next second, the mist dissipated, and Laplace was still standing firmly in the same place. There was an obvious dent in the ground not far away, and Steelix had been bounded in place by a stream of water.

The tidal wave of water!
After dodging the attack, instantly follow up with Tide Whirl.

Steelix's swooping power is very strong, which can also increase the damage of the attack. At the same time, it is also easy for the opponent to seize the flaw, and Laplace seized the flaw at the moment.

In turn, he used the whirlpool to control Steel Crow. Steel Crow felt the strangeness all over his body and just as he was about to move, the water surrounding him suddenly tightened, squeezing Steel Crow's body little by little.

In this state, Laplace was unable to perform more attack moves, and all his mental strength was used to control the amplitude of the vortex.

"!!" The Steel Crow let out a series of mournful cries.

The damage caused by the continuous squeezing of water flow is far greater than the power of the whirlpool itself.

"Steel Armor Crow!"

At Bai Yu's shout, Steelix broke free from its restraints and rushed out with its entire body. Seeing this, Laplace still controlled the water flow and followed, trying to restrain Steelix again.

"Steel Armor Crow! Swallow Returns!"

A flash of white light rose from Steel Crow's body, and it suddenly spun around. The water currents in the air collided with each other, splashing countless water, and Steel Crow shuttled between the water splashes.

The Flying-type Swallow Return relies on its powerful spinning ability, and its moves are sure to hit the target.

Just as Laplace came to his senses, Steelix had already passed behind him, moving extremely fast, with a bright white light on its wings.

Laplace didn't react at all.

Yan Fan hit Laplace with a bang. The damage of this move was not high, but the attack from the back still caught Laplace off guard, and the water flow in the air also dissipated with a bang.

"Laplace! Sing!" Chihong said without hesitation.

The duration of the provocation has long passed, and now is the time for Laplace to exert its true effect.

Laplace opened his mouth, and pleasant sounds came out of it.

General Department singing.

The effect of singing is the same as hypnosis. Pokémon that hear the song will fall asleep for a short period of time. The better the singing effect, the longer the sleep time.

"lap!"

Steelix was too close to Laplace, so he could hear the song anyway.

At close range, a brown light rose from Steeljaw's sharp claws and slammed into Laplace's back. Laplace was severely injured by the blow, and the song he was singing suddenly stopped. Steeljaw only listened to a little bit of the song, and his body had not yet entered a sleeping state.

Laplace shook his head, and continued to sing despite the severe pain in his back. Steelix flapped its wings and spun backwards again, with brown light still appearing on its claws.

Another attack!

Steelix attacked tirelessly, while Laplace sang to himself.

In mid-air, when Steel Crow suddenly rushed down, its body suddenly stopped and fell from the air. Steel Crow was burned to ashes.

Unless Red's command was predicted in advance and Steelix was used to defend the distance, no moves could resist the normal operation of the singing at this moment.

With a "bang", Steel Crow fell to the ground.

"Fell asleep. This is amazing. Red used Laplace's singing in the middle of the battle and caught the moment when the provocation disappeared. The singing effect was outstanding. I'm afraid that Steeljaw won't be able to stand up and continue fighting in the short term!!"

The commentator shouted loudly to Steelix on the field.

Laplace also had a lot of injuries on its body, but fortunately the provocation state disappeared. While Baiyu hadn't taken back the Pokémon yet, a life drop was used to restore Laplace's condition slightly.

Red had a gloomy face, if it weren't for Steelix falling asleep in the end.

Otherwise, that attack might have killed Laplace! !
The damage from the attack was very high, much higher than expected. Taking two consecutive hits was the limit that Laplace could accept. If there was a third one...

After watching the life drop disappear, Bai Yu also smiled, "Red, you did a good job. I have to let my Steel Crow go."

After saying that, Bai Yu decisively took back the Steelix from the field.

Nonsense, if we let Steelix continue to play now, wouldn’t it be a waste of time for Laplace to recover his condition?

The recovery ability of Life Drop is not as good as that of Feather and Self-Regeneration, and the recovery effect is only half as good. Of course, Life Drop is better in that it can restore all Pokémon on the field.

Red did not respond, but took back Laplace on the field.

Laplace's current state is the same as Moltres. Yes, it has recovered some of its status with the help of the Life Drops, but its state is still similar to that of the Moltres just now.

"Have you taken it back?" Bai Yu took out a Poké Ball and no longer paid attention to the situation on the field.

He threw the Poké Ball in his hand, "It's your turn, Master Martial Bear!"

Hearing this, Chihong was stunned, and the next second, there really was a black and white martial arts bear master standing on the field.

"Martial Bear Master~ Bai Yu, he still brought this Pokémon with him."

At the battle entrance, Qing Lu stood behind Chi Hong, watching the battle silently, "From the looks of it, is this the Water + Fighting-type martial arts bear master?!"

"Martial Arts Bear Master! It really is it!"

"Then let me see how strong you are!"

"Pikachu."

Red did not choose to take out any Poké Ball, but instead called out Pikachu's name.

"Pika pika!"

Pikachu also rushed out full of energy, grabbing the ground with his limbs, and looked at the martial arts bear master opposite with extremely serious eyes.

"I still choose to let Pikachu play."

Pikachu's condition has dropped a bit, but overall it is still in the best state.
And as one of the most representative Pokémon of Crimson, Pikachu's existence is unmatched by other Pokémon. It is definitely like Charizard, possessing the health lock and the power of bond.

"Come on, Red, let me see your strength."

"Martial Arts Bear Master, charge forward and use your flaming fist!"

Martial Arts Bear Master suddenly rushed forward, with his fists raising a blazing flame.

Fire-type flaming fist.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

Pikachu hummed softly, his cheeks flashing with golden electricity, and the next second, a shocking bolt of lightning blasted in the direction of the charging martial arts bear master.

One hundred thousand volts of electricity.

Since Martial Arts Master Bear chose to attack at close range, Chihong did not hesitate to harass him with 100,000 volts.

Martial Arts Bear Master's reflexes were amazing, his body constantly dodged the 100,000-volt attack. As it got closer, the space he could dodge became smaller and smaller, and Martial Arts Bear Master swung out with his right fist.

"Iron tail."

Pikachu suddenly stopped releasing 100,000 volts, jumped up, raised its tail with a metallic luster, and swung its tail to attack.

boom! !

Iron Tail vs. Flame Fist, neither side gave in, and for a moment a hurricane rose on the field. It was obvious that Master Wudo Bear was stronger in strength, but at this moment Pikachu was able to hold on.

Didn't the previous battle drain Pikachu's energy, but instead increased his inner desire to win? (End of this chapter)
