Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Chapter 462 Nut Dumbbell vs. Tyranitar: Who is truly invincible in the sandstorm?
Bai Yu ignored Apollo to the side and instead focused his attention on the rhinoceros on the field. The rhinoceros had experienced so many battles before, its condition had definitely declined.

"Strong whipping!"

Bai Yu gave the order.

We can't let the Drillhorn Rhinoceros use the Stealth Rock so easily; we should at least make things difficult for that guy.

"Block the attack, sharp stone!"

The powerful Grass-type Whiplash, if it hits Rhyhorn, will cause massive damage. Its unique Ground/Rock type makes it four times weak to Water and Grass.

In any case, Giovanni would not allow the powerful whip to strike the Rhinoceros.

This guy wanted to forcefully exchange his own rhinoceros for another injury.

After all, the rhinoceros is four times weak to grass, so the damage from a powerful whip strike is unimaginable.

Furthermore, Ferrothorn has high physical defense and is a newly introduced Pokémon. Trading injury for injury is acceptable for both White Feather and Ferrothorn on the field.

In that instant, the Drillhorn Beast slammed into the ground, sending up sharp stones that blocked its view. Nut Dumbbell, its vines dancing, continued to bombard the sharp stones in front of it.

The sharp rock was relentlessly bombarded, and the massive rock instantly turned into fragments that flew everywhere. A thick cloud of smoke rose up on the field, obscuring the vision of both trainers.

"Gym Leader Shiraha, this is exactly what you wanted," Giovanni praised calmly, gazing at the thick smoke in front of him. In the smoky environment, his Pokémon had an advantage.

"So, Master Sakaki, are you going to continue to take this seriously?" Bai Yu's face was not relaxed.

This Rhyhorn brings a lot of pressure; for other champion-level trainers, this Rhyhorn could be their ace.

However, Shiraha knew very well that Giovanni's trump card was the Beedrill that had outmaneuvered Lance's Dragonite.

"Just you wait and see!" Sakaki said in a deep voice, "Rock Blast!"

The Drillhorn Beast shook the ground, and the rocks that had been shattered by the Sharp Stone Attack also came in handy, instantly exploding and hurtling towards the Nut Dumbbell.

"Iron Wall!" Bai Yu said calmly without much thought.

A metallic sheen emanated from the Nut Dumbbell, its steel-type Iron Wall increasing physical defense by two levels.

A flash of metallic light appeared, and the metal had already condensed successfully. Before Nut Dumbbell could react, the rocks slammed into it.

Under the relentless bombardment, Nut Dumbbell let out a muffled groan. Its metallic sheen easily withstood the damage, providing double resistance to Rock-type attacks. Combined with the Iron Wall effect, the damage was minimized.

But the Rhinoceros's attack didn't stop there. Taking advantage of the dust raised by the rock blast, it moved forward quickly, its sprint speed was so fast that by the time Nut Dumbbell reacted, the Rhinoceros was already in front of it.

"Fire Fist!"

"Strong whipping."

Sakaki decisively gave the order, and Shiraha immediately followed suit.

The rhinoceros raised its fist, and scorching flames instantly ignited the entire fist. It then slammed it forward with tremendous force.

Nut Dumbbell subconsciously swung its vines, which were covered in green light, directly whipping the Drillhorn Rhinoceros.

The rhinoceros with the horned horn grunted and forced itself to endure it.

Facing the powerful whipping attack, he kept getting closer, wanting to deliver this punch.

Unfortunately, the frequency of the powerful whipping was just too fast. Nuts and dumbbells' intensive training during this period was not in vain, and their close combat level has improved a lot.

The rapid whipping created a hurricane, dispersing the dust on the field. The rhinoceros was forced to retreat step by step, and the flames it had raised vanished in an instant. It covered its face with its arms and kept backing away.

boom! !

Nut Dumbbell swung its body, pulling the vines along with it, and delivered a powerful blow that struck the Drillhorn Rhinoceros. The Drillhorn Rhinoceros was sent flying by the attack.

Even if the rhinoceros was in the best condition, it would lose most of its strength in the face of such a powerful attack. Moreover, the rhinoceros was not in good condition at this moment, and its mental energy was almost completely depleted.

Struck by this powerful blow, he quickly collapsed to the ground, never to recover.

"The rhinoceros with the horned horn has lost its ability to fight."

After a while, Apollo also stepped forward and took a look at the condition of the rhinoceros.

Its body was covered in vine wounds. The nut dumbbell vine itself had sharp thorns, and the power of a strong whip was much greater than that of a vine whip. One lash was enough to make the drill-horned rhinoceros behave itself.

"Come back, rhinoceros with horned horns."

Sakaki didn't say anything more and recalled the Drillhorn Rhinoceros.

In this way, the situation returned to its original state.

Nidoran's condition was similar to Darkrai's, but Incineroar was on its last breath.

There are also Stealth Rocks on the field, so Incineroar will lose its ability to battle as soon as it enters the field.

As for that Martial Arts Bear Master, it was in relatively good condition, at least much better than Giovanni's Deoxys.

The Ferrothorn is a devastating blow to Giovanni's team. Apart from Deoxys, which excels at special attacks, the other Pokémon are all good at close-range battles.

This includes Giovanni's ace Beedrill.

The premise of a quick attack is that the opponent's defense is not strong. With Ferrothorn's Iron Spikes ability, the damage Beedrill can deal is probably less than the damage you would get from being pricked by Iron Spikes.

"Hehe~ Gym Leader Shiraha, Ferrothorn is quite a nice Pokémon." Giovanni looked at the harmless-looking, somewhat dazed Ferrothorn in front of him and couldn't help but grin.

In Giovanni's opinion, the most troublesome Pokémon in Shiraha's Spikes team is Ferrothorn. Without a Fire-type Pokémon, dealing with Ferrothorn would be like going to jail.

Its defense is incredibly high, and its attack is not bad either.

"Tanjira!"

Giovanni threw out his fifth Poké Ball, which turned out to be Tyranitar, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Johto region.

It has a monstrous body, entirely green, and exudes an invisible, ferocious aura. Its violent eyes are fixed on the nut dumbbell in front of it.

Tyranitar, a Rock/Dark type, is found in Johto, Unova, and other regions.

Characteristics: Sandstorms
Moves: Farmer's Three Fangs, Dark Pulse, An Eye for an Eye, Sandstorm, Screech, Earthquake, Rock Shot, Rampage, Stomp, Smash Down, Ultimate Impact, Terrifying Face, Swallow Return, Roar, Mud Shot, Sunny Day, Dragon Tail...

Description: It wanders in the mountains in search of a fighting opponent. However, if it encounters an opponent weaker than itself, it will ignore them and leave.

Tyranitar is a Rock-type Pokémon.

That makes sense, though. Before evolving into Tyranitar, Larvitar and Sandgill were both Rock/Ground type combinations. It was only when they evolved into their final forms that their original types changed.

Bai Yu would only be surprised if he didn't have a near-divine weapon!
As soon as Tyranitar appeared and let out a roar, it suddenly felt a pain in the soles of its feet, and couldn't help but roar again!
Spikes are super effective against Rock-type Pokémon.

Bangjira was badly stabbed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Yu also raised his hand to launch an attack. He wouldn't let go of any chance to attack: "Invisibility Rock!"

This time, Bai Yu didn't choose to use Spikes, but instead used Stealth Rock.

The main concern is guarding against Giovanni's Beedrill. Beedrill is a Bug/Poison type, and generally speaking, Spikes can also attack this type of Pokémon. However, Beedrill can fly, and it will be in the air as soon as it enters the field. Those Spikes hidden on the ground can't just fly up and stab Beedrill's body, especially since Beedrill is weak to Rock.

The effect of Stealth Rock is definitely more significant than that of Spikeweed.

Nut Dumbbell let out a groan and swayed its body, as countless rocks rapidly surged around it.

Tyranitar, which had just been impaled by a nail, raised its head and roared, instantly turning the field into a sandstorm, with yellow sand obscuring the vision of Shiraha and Giovanni.

Ferrothorn is a Steel-type Pokémon and is unaffected by sandstorms.

Taking this opportunity, Nut Dumbbell flung the rocks around him away. Countless rocks were hidden in mid-air and quickly disappeared with the help of the sandstorm.

"Let's delay the sandstorm a bit."

Of the Pokémon that appeared after White Feather, only Swampert was not afraid of sandstorms.

However, the other Pokémon, such as Incineroar and Darkrai, are all afraid of sandstorms. The continuous damage from sandstorms has a significant impact on them.

It's important to know that Tyranitar can also roar, so you still need to be wary of Tyranitar's roar attacks at all times.

"Nut-dumbbell, charge!"

Bai Yu initiated the attack.

Nut Dumbbell stared ahead, oblivious to the swirling yellow sand, and charged forward with unstoppable momentum.

The Fighting-type Pouncing Attack, along with the defensive boost from the previous Iron Wall, came in handy at this moment.

Even though Tyranitar has extremely high defense, it cannot change the fact that Tyranitar is four times weaker than Fighting.

“Quicksand Abyss!” Sakaki’s eyes flickered slightly.

With a roar, Tyranitar unleashed a sandstorm that rapidly converged on the Nut Dumbbell, completely binding it within its confines.

The Surface-type Quicksand Abyss, unlike Onix's binding ability, utilizes the surrounding sand and soil. In sandstorm weather, it can also utilize the sand and gravel in the air.

It was clear that at this moment, Sakaki used the sand in the sky to quickly close in and firmly control the nut dumbbell.

"Powerful impact, charge out!"

A metallic sheen shone from the nut-shaped dumbbell as it sprinted forward.

Trying to forcefully break free from the shackles of the quicksand abyss, just as he was about to rush out, Tyranitar's figure appeared in front of Nut Dumbbell.

At this moment, Benjira is very close to the nut dumbbell.

"Fire Fist!"

With a low growl, Bangalore unleashed a burst of intense heat from its fist and hurled a powerful punch.

Fire-type Flame Fist.

"As expected, he really wanted to take down my Ferrothorn. But thinking about it, who can tolerate a Pokémon like that on the battlefield for too long!" Bai Yu's lips curled up slightly.

"Nut Dumbbell, hold on!"

Almost instantly, Nut Dumbbell withdrew the power it had just released, and the metallic luster merged into its body, transforming into a barrier that stood in front of Nut Dumbbell.

The normal system's defense.

Through the sandstorm, Sakaki looked at the metallic protective barrier, his brows furrowing slightly.

This guy actually managed to conjure a protective barrier in an instant.

The Flame Fist delivered a solid punch directly to the barrier.

Boom! !

The barrier held firm like a calm river. When the Flame Fist struck, it only created ripples and did not cause any real damage until the power of the Flame Fist weakened.

Even the barrier that held up vanished as starlight.

Tyranitar is very powerful; even though its Fire Punch isn't a STAB type, it can still deal considerable damage.

However, as long as it is not a high-level divine beast or a divine beast with the power of faith, any other move can be easily blocked, unless the opponent can be knocked away before the defense is fully formed.

"Press down, unleash a lunge!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Yu quickly issued the attack command.

Tyranitar, who had just unleashed a Flame Punch, took a step back. In an instant, Dumbbell charged forward and pounced on Tyranitar.

The metallic spikes pierced Tyranitar's body as the Nut Dumbbell pounced. Tyranitar let out a low growl and flipped the Nut Dumbbell over.

In terms of weight, the bangzia is heavier, almost twice the weight of the nut dumbbells.

Sakaki's face was gloomy, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

The nut dumbbell swung its vine whip again, lashing Tyranitar's body. The pounce would do more damage than the powerful whip, but the powerful vine whip would be better in this situation.

Before it could regain its balance, the Nut Dumbbell swung its vines and lashed out at Tyranitar's face.

"Big Fire Blast!" Sakaki's gaze pierced through the sandstorm, staring intently at the Nut Dumbbell.

The next second, Tyranitar suddenly lowered its body, dodging the powerful whip that was aimed at its face, and a flame gathered in its mouth, which instantly burst out.

Despite the sandstorm, the flames remained undeterred, their crimson color transforming into a large "X" shape in mid-air as they hurtled towards the nut dumbbell.

Fire-type large-character Flame Burst.

Tyranitar's special attack is not weak. This Fire Blast caught Ferrothorn off guard, and flames instantly covered Ferrothorn's body, causing Ferrothorn to roar in pain.

The power of the flames is quite astonishing.

"lap!"

Bai Yu gave the order again.

Nut Dumbbell was covered in flames, but without the slightest hesitation, it charged forward, engulfed in raging fire. At that moment, a hint of ferocity appeared in its dull eyes.

"Hold on!" Sakaki raised his head, turned to the side, and said calmly.

Tyranitar revealed a fierce and cruel expression, stretching out its hands to conjure a protective barrier.

The nut dumbbell, carrying a raging inferno, crashed violently into the protective barrier.

The sparks fell to the ground and flew in all directions, but they did not affect Tyranitar's condition in the slightest.

With a loud explosion, the sand and grit in the air stopped, and the nut dumbbells retreated. A blast of air spread out, dispersing the remaining sand and dust.

Nutbell and Tyranitar faced off. Tyranitar was hit by Spikes as soon as it entered the game and was then knocked to the ground by a powerful tackle, leaving it looking somewhat weak. Nutbell, on the other hand, was also in a slump after being hit by a Fireball.
