The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 166 The Battle of the Cauldron

The LavaCity Gym, one of the eight core gyms in Hoenn, has many different levels of battle arenas and arenas, allowing trainers of all levels to challenge each other at the same time.

The place Lin Ye and Asha chose was the most central and rarely used Fire Sand Field in the Furnace Gym.

This is a standard open-air venue, with the ground covered with compacted volcanic ash, which makes a soft, crunching sound when you step on it.

Several streetlights carved from volcanic rock stand on either side of the site, making it as bright as day even at night.

As Lin Ye walked in, he became very interested in the layout of the dojo and made notes of it as he went.

The reason is that he may have his own dojo in the future, and by looking at the layout now, he can have a better idea of ​​what to do when it is built.

Once the two of them stood on opposite sides of the Yansha arena, Grandpa Mula also walked to the center of the arena. He looked at Lin Ye on his left and then at Yasha on his right, a smile of great interest appearing on his old face.

"The old man hasn't been a referee for a long time since he retired, but tonight he'll be one for his granddaughter and the younger generation he admires."

Alright~, the challenger for this match is Lin Ye, and the defending champion is Aysa. The rules are doubles battle, and only "professional" Pokémon are allowed to participate.

Both sides will send out two Pokémon to battle simultaneously. The winner will be determined by either side having both of their Pokémon rendered unable to battle or surrendering. Now, release your Pokémon.

Aysa took a deep breath, her fingers quickly gliding over the Poké Balls at her waist, picking out two and holding them in her hand.

She gestured with her chin toward Lin Ye and said, "It's true that the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile was given to me by my grandfather, but my own strength is already very close to that of a 'Gym Leader'."

Moreover, with the professional training I received from childhood and my experience in raising Pokémon, I'm absolutely not afraid of you.

After saying that, she threw both of her hands forward at the same time, and the two Poké Balls opened in the air at the same time. Then, a flash of white light appeared, and two very different landing sounds rang out on the field.

The sound of a coal turtle landing on the left was dull and heavy; it was a coal turtle with all four legs stomping on the ground.

The moment it landed, all the holes on its back simultaneously spewed out a scorching wave of air, and a blinding ray of sunlight exploded from its body without warning, instantly tearing the night sky over the entire area into daylight.

"Sunshine" characteristic.

Without any instructions, the moment Torkoal appeared, the weather was automatically changed to "sunny," and even the lights at the edge of the field were dimmed by the sunlight.

In an instant, the water element in the air evaporated rapidly, while the fire element became unusually active.

This is a special effect of "Sunny Day," which reduces the power of Water-type moves and enhances Fire-type moves.

Many trainers who specialize in Fire-type Pokémon choose to build a "Sunny Day" team and specifically train a weather setter.

The Pokémon on the right landed with a light and crisp sound; it was actually a plant with two heads, one red and one green.

Very spicy.

The fiery chili pepper landed beside the coal turtle, its body swaying slightly in the bright sunlight, visibly stretching out, its leaves changing from dark green to a vibrant, glossy green.

"Hmm~, a 'Chlorophyll' Chili Pepper paired with a 'Sunlight' Coal Turtle? Not a bad choice, then I'll use you two."

Lin Ye only said two sentences before the shadows behind him surged, and Azure Flame Blade Demon and Sniper Tree Owl appeared on either side of him.

"They actually sent out a Grass-type Decidueye. It seems that Azure Flame Demon has the 'Flash Fire' ability. This is troublesome."

"Both sides, take your positions!" Mura raised his hand, paused for a moment in the air, then swung it down sharply. "The battle begins!"

Aysa's commands were almost perfectly synchronized with the whooshing sound of her grandfather's hand striking: "Coal Turtle, 'Hot Sands'! Chili Pepper, quickly circle behind and follow up with 'Crush'!"

The coal turtle slammed its forelimbs into the ground, instantly sending up countless wisps of sand. This sand wasn't the yellow of a sandstorm, but rather a scorching red.

These red sands formed a thick sandbar more than three meters in diameter, carrying a scorching heat wave, and blasted towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon head-on.

This move is "Hot Sands," a ground-based attack that contains fire energy and is extremely effective against fire-type Azure Blade Demons.

But Azure Flame Blade Demon wouldn't let him use his skills. He raised his hand and his twin blades ignited into a four-meter-high blade of ghostly blue fire, which he then slashed down at the attacking sand python.

*Smack!*

The azure flame blade easily sliced ​​through the sand, then continued its powerful strike towards the coal turtle. The turtle quickly turned into a "turtle in hiding," allowing the remaining sword energy to strike its hard shell.

But the next moment, Azure Flame Blade Demon felt a sudden jolt of wind behind him, and a strong sense of palpitation immediately surged into his heart.

That was a vicious chili pepper. Relying on the properties of "chlorophyll," its speed doubled in "sunny" conditions, and it circled around behind the Azure Flame Blade Demon in the blink of an eye.

The latter had just finished charging up its attack, and even as an elusive ghost Pokémon, it would be difficult for it to dodge it.

Clearly, Aysa was planning to defeat Azure Flame Blade Demon first and break Lin Ye's "Ignite" advantage before making any further moves.

But Azure Flame Blade Demon is not fighting alone!

Although the sniper tree owl lacks chlorophyll, its "long-range" visual advantage allows it to keenly detect the intentions of others.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"

Two "Shadow Piercing" arrows were fired in quick succession, arriving in an instant. The ruthless chili pepper had no choice but to switch targets with the two "Bite-Crush" attacks that her two heads had prepared, biting into the two small blue arrows.

It gathered a mouthful of evil energy and vanished into a dark shadow along with the "Shadow Thread" arrow.

Taking advantage of this moment, Azure Flame Blade Demon launched another attack. The "Regret Sword" ignited once more, slashing down and striking the vicious chili pepper squarely, sending it flying. The green plant body was covered with scorch marks mixed with dark blue and red.

Although all three are at the peak of "professional level", Azure Flame Blade Demon, having absorbed the energy source of "Gym Master level" once, is significantly stronger. Its bottleneck barrier is only a thin half-layer away from being broken, and its energy fluctuations are much stronger than the other three.

Lin Ye chose Azure Flame Blade Demon not only because of its higher energy level and the ability to use "Ignite" to seal off the opponent's fire-type moves, but also because he wanted to utilize "Sunny Day" himself.

Even though the fiery chili pepper still possessed fire attributes, negating its original fire-type weakness, it was still on the verge of death, lying on the ground howling incessantly, unable to get up for a long time.

At this moment, the "locked-head turtle" finally reacted, slowly condensing a dozen or so rock masses several meters in diameter, which crashed down with a bang.

"Rockfall!"

Under this wide-range attack, a large number of Azure Flame Blade Demons and Sniper Tree Owls fell to the ground like meteors.

The Azure Flame Blade Demon had just finished unleashing the "Sword of Regret," and its new power had not yet been gathered. The young revolutionaries took on the responsibility without hesitation.

With a flap of its wings, a barrage of "flying leaf blades" surged like a giant green wave, engulfing rock formations and causing them to explode into green and stone-brown energy debris.

The Azure Flame Blade Demon moved swiftly through the dust, and as it approached the Coal Turtle, its dark blue flame blades suddenly crackled with silver light. With a "Brick Slash," it slammed down on the Coal Turtle's smooth, fleshy head!
