Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 42 Fierce Battle Across a Thousand Miles

"Come back, Lazybones! Xiao Feng, your command skills are truly outstanding!"

Chisato looked at Chiba Kaede and said admiringly. ♢♦ 6➈รHuˣ.𝕔όᵐ 👽♢

The duty of a gym leader is to guide trainers who come to challenge them on the right path, enabling them to discover their own weaknesses and correct them.

Their primary goal is not to win battles, so the Pokémon they use for gym challenges are usually not their main Pokémon, or they don't use their main Pokémon at their full potential.

"You're too kind. I still have a lot to learn."

Chiba Kaede said modestly.

"Let's begin the second match then, go, hyperactive ape!"

Then, Senri released his second Pokémon.

"Go, Heracross!"

Chiba Kaede chose to recall Poliwag and sent out his second Pokémon.

"Oh, choosing to exchange spirits is a good option!"

Senri saw that Chiba Kaede had changed her Pokémon and couldn't help but admire it.

"You flatter me, Heracross, use Thrust!"

Chiba Kaede chose to launch a direct attack. Hyperactive Apex is the evolved form of Lazybones, and is extremely active by nature, completely opposite to Lazybones. Therefore, Hyperactive Apex is usually an aggressive attacker.

"Hyperactive Monkey, counterattack with Flame Fist!"

Qianli issued the order at the opportune moment.

The two Pokémon then clashed, with Heracross and Apexis exchanging attacks. Both Pokémon were powerful and heavy-hitting types, and each collision produced a loud sound.

However, Heracross had a clear advantage in physical strength, and after several collisions, the hyperactive ape was clearly struggling to keep up.

"Hyperactive Monkey, use Blizzard!"

Senri realized that the hyperactive ape was at a disadvantage, so he immediately changed his battle strategy.

Upon hearing the trainer's command, the hyperactive ape spewed out a large amount of ice and snow. Heracross was blown back a few steps by the blizzard, and some parts of its body had already begun to freeze, making it look rather disheveled.

"Heracross, use Pin Missile!"

Seeing this, Chiba Kaede hurriedly gave the order.

Upon hearing Chiba Kaede's command, Heracross conjured a large number of flying needles and launched them towards the Overdrive Ape.

Upon seeing the incoming missile, the hyperactive ape dodged to the side without waiting for its trainer's command. However, as it dodged, the blizzard also stopped.

"Hyperactive Monkey, keep using Blizzard!"

"Heracross, Swallow Return!"

Seeing that Chisato wanted the hyperactive monkey to continue using Blizzard, Chiba Kaede directly had Heracross use the Swallow Return skill, thus forcing the hyperactive monkey to defend.

"Hyperactive ape, find Heracross!"

Upon hearing the command, the hyperactive ape braced itself with its arms and blocked Heracross, putting the two into a tug-of-war once again.

Seeing this, Chiba Kaede was not worried; Heracross had never been afraid of anyone in terms of strength.

"Heracross throws the Hyperactive Ape into the air, then uses a Corner Attack!"

Upon hearing the command, Heracross narrowed his eyes, unleashed his physical strength, and flung Hyperactive Ape into the air. Then, his large horn glowed white as he charged directly at Hyperactive Ape.

"Hyperactive monkey, don't panic, use Double Payback!"

While still in the air, the hyperactive ape immediately calmed down upon hearing its trainer's command. As Heracross's Horn Attack hit it, it used the Double Up move to return the damage amplified.

Immediately, both elves fell to the ground, but Heracross struggled to its feet.

Fortunately, the Fighting-type Double Strike skill only deals half the damage to the Bug-type, otherwise it would have been unable to fight just now.

The hyperactive ape was also knocked away by the horn attack and crashed heavily to the ground, losing its ability to fight.

"call!"

Seeing that the opponent's hyperactive ape was unable to battle, Chiba Kaede finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the competition had just reached its most crucial moment. The only remaining Pokémon in Chiri's Pokémon was Slaking, a terrifying creature with a base stat total of 670.

If it weren't for its lazy nature, which makes it prone to slacking off and disobeying its trainer's commands, it could even rival those mythical Pokémon when unleashing its full potential.

Senri, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City, is a trainer who has initially overcome Slaking's weaknesses. He can enable Slaking to exert a certain level of strength in battles, and this strength is already comparable to that of the Elite Four.

"Xiao Feng, you're truly amazing! Now it's up to you, Fake King!"

Qianli is now starting to take Qianye Feng's strength seriously. Whether it's the strength of his Pokémon or his command ability, Qianye Feng doesn't seem like a rookie trainer who has just started challenging gyms. This makes him feel excited.

Chiba Kaede looked at the giant, who was over two meters tall, and just by standing there, he exuded a powerful aura that made Chiba Kaede feel helpless.

"Come back, Heracross!"

"Go on, Mr. Mosquito Coil!"

Chiba Kaede chose to recall Heracross first, and then sent out Mosquito Coil.

"Mosquito Coil, Bubble Ray!"

"Slacker, use Thunder Fist!"

On the battlefield, Slaking directly faced Poliwag's Bubble Beam attack, then unleashed a Thunder Fist with his right hand, sending Poliwag flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, rendering him unable to fight.

"You're really strong! Come back, Mosquito Coil!"

After witnessing Slaking's terrifying power, Chiba Kaede became somewhat excited. This Slaking could be considered the strongest Pokémon he had encountered since coming to this world.

"Come out, Great Swallow!"

Chiba Kaede immediately brought out his ace Pokémon. Heracross still needed some rest, otherwise it would probably be a one-punch affair with Slaking.

"Great King Yan, be careful, this time the opponent is very strong!"

Chiba Kaede said to the Great King Yan.

In fact, Swellow could sense the outside world from inside its Poké Ball and knew that the gorilla in front of it was indeed very powerful, so it nodded to Chiba Kaede to indicate that it knew.

"Xiao Feng, your last Pokémon is a Swellow? That's a bit of a problem!"

Qianli said to Qianye Feng.

Slaking isn't very good at dealing with fast opponents, but it's also difficult for the opponent to inflict too much damage on Slaking.

"Great Swan, create shadow clones, then gather your energy!"

"Slacker, use Flamethrower!"

Seeing that Chiba Kaede was starting to strengthen the Great Swallow, Senri wouldn't stand idly by.

Unfortunately, the Great Swellow created too many clones, and even after the Great Swellow completed its enhancement, it still couldn't hit the Great Swellow's main body.

"Swellia carterii, use Air Blade!"

Chiba Kaede dared not let Swellow attack at close range, otherwise, given Slaking's terrifying attack power, if it hit him, he would basically be seriously injured, or even lose his ability to fight.

"Slacker, 100,000 Volts!"

Slaking, as the ace Pokémon of the Thousand Miles, has an incredibly rich skill pool.

However, given Swellow's speed, such an attack would not hit it unless it was restricted by a skill.

Subsequently, Chiba Kaede launched a kite-style attack mode, continuously using the Air Blade skill to attack Slaking. Although the damage was not high, it was extremely insulting to Slaking, which caused Slaking's anger to rise continuously.

Chiba Kaede knew that this method was somewhat unfair, but he really didn't have any other more effective way to attack.

"Come back, Swan!"

"Come forth, Heracross!"

After using the Air Blade skill multiple times in a row, Chiba Kaede felt that Swellow was somewhat tired and had consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, he chose to recall Swellow and send Heracross, who had been resting for a long time, into the field.

By this time, Slaking was already quite annoyed by Swellow's harassment. When he saw Heracross being replaced, he immediately pounded his chest with both hands and rushed towards Heracross.

"Slacker, use Thunder Fist!"

Senri was also somewhat uncomfortable with the way the Great Swallow had attacked, so he was now thinking of teaching Chiba a lesson.

"Heracross, hang in there!"

Upon hearing Chiba's command, Heracross crossed its forelimbs in front of its chest, assuming a defensive stance. Then, Slaking's lightning fist struck directly at Heracross. Had Heracross not used its stamina-enhancing skill beforehand, it would have been eliminated by now.

"Hercules, resurrected!"

Chiba Kaede gave the order to Heracross, who was already somewhat distracted.

"boom!"

Upon hearing Chiba Kaede's command, Heracross was enveloped in crimson energy, and then Slaking was sent flying backward.
