Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 73 Electricity Badge

"Thunderball, use a rolling attack!"

Tie Xuan gave the order.

The Thunderball is very fast, and the Rolling skill can be used to increase its speed to a sufficient level in a very short time.

"Pangolin, become round, and then we'll roll too!"

Chiba Kaede didn't expect that Tie Xuan's tactics were similar to his, but he was confident in the rolling power of the Mountain King.

Upon receiving the command, the Pangolin's body turned round and began to roll.

However, its startup speed is much slower than that of the Thunderball. Fortunately, the rolling skill can be accelerated over time, so you just need to pay attention to avoiding the impact of the Thunderball in the early stages.

Once the Sandslash's rolling speed also increases, with its weight advantage and the added speed, it's believed that Thunderball will be no match for it.

"Sandsword, watch out for the Thunderball's impact!"

Chiba Kaede reminded him.

After Sandslash started rolling, Thunderball locked onto it, adjusted its rolling direction, and rammed into it. At this point, Sandslash, which hadn't yet gained speed, would definitely be knocked out of its rolling state if it was hit.

Fortunately, after being trained by Chiba Maple, Sandslash can now turn more freely and narrowly avoids several impacts from the Thunderball. After this period of acceleration, its rolling speed has also gradually increased.

"Sandslash King, no need to dodge, just run right into it!"

Chiba felt that the current speed had reached the limit that Pangolin could control. If it continued to accelerate, it might lose its perception of the outside world. So he told Pangolin to stop dodging and charge straight in.

"Lightning Ball, show your perseverance!"

Tie Xuan knew that the longer things dragged on, the worse it would be for him. Now that Qian Yefeng was willing to confront him head-on, he certainly wouldn't refuse. 👹☝ 6❾丂ℍù𝔵.ᶜỖ𝓜 🐧🍮

"boom!"

After the two high-speed spinning spheres, one yellow and one red, collided, a loud noise was produced, and the field was filled with dust, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

"Both Pokémon are now unable to battle. Please send out your next Pokémon!"

When the dust settled, it was clear that both Sandslash and Thunderball on the field had lost their ability to fight, and referee Walter promptly delivered his verdict.

"Come back, Sandslash King, you've had a tough time this time!"

Chiba Kaede felt that he had underestimated the power of Thunderball, but he didn't feel he had lost out by trading one for one with the opponent. He just wondered if Sandslash King would lose interest in fighting again and continue to lie down.

"This is wonderful, truly wonderful, young man! I am so happy to be able to battle you in a Pokémon battle!"

As a gym leader, Iron Whirl has become indifferent to winning and losing; he simply enjoys the fun that battles bring him.

"Well then, Magneton, it's your turn to shine!"

Iron Whirl looked at the Magneton next to him and said.

"Heracross, you come out too!"

Chiba Kaede promptly released her third Pokémon.

Magnemite is formed by the merging of three smaller Magnemites and emits a powerful magnetic force and high voltage. When they connect, the heads of the three smaller Magnemites also merge into one, but they do not become three times smarter; they simply have about three times the electrical power of the smaller Magnemites.

The magnetic force at the joints between the Magnemite monsters is so strong that it can even evaporate surrounding moisture, and getting close to it will cause a strong ringing in your ears. In the areas where the Magnemite lives, sophisticated machinery malfunctions. Because of its powerful magnetic force, researching it always results in the destruction of machinery.

Because it can destroy machines with its strong magnetism, large towns will sound alarms to notify everyone when Magneton appears in large numbers. It is said that in some towns, you will be warned if you don't put it in a Poké Ball.

This information was obtained by Chiba Kaede through the Pokédex. It can be seen that Magneton is much stronger than Magneton before its evolution.

"Magneto, Electric Field!"

Tie Xuan gave the first order. He already knew the strength of the boy in front of him from the first two Pokémon battles, so in order to better test Qianye Feng's strength, he planned to appropriately increase the difficulty of the match and let Magneton unleash its full power.

"Heracross, charge in and use Brick Break!"

Chiba didn't have a good way to deal with Magneton using Terrain moves to enhance the power of Electric-type moves. The only thing he could think of was to get Heracross close to it as soon as possible and then attack.

"Magneto, unleash 100,000 volts!"

Just as Heracross's Brick Break was about to hit Magneton, Magneton, upon hearing its trainer's command, unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning that struck Heracross.

"Heracross, get out of the way!"

Chiba Kaede looked at the terrifying 100,000 volts in front of him and knew that if Heracross were hit, the match might be over, so he hurriedly reminded it not to try to take the hit head-on.

Heracross, who had originally planned to continue its attack against the Thunderbolt move, chose to trust its trainer's judgment after hearing his words. It pushed off the ground and jumped up quickly, narrowly dodging the attack.

The 100,000-volt attack, still powerful, slammed directly into the spot where Heracross had just stood, instantly creating a large crater in the ground, which was charred black – all of this demonstrated the terrifying power of the attack.

"Magneto, use Tri-Attack!"

Although Heracross dodged the Thunderbolt attack, Iron Spin did not hesitate and took advantage of the gap when Heracross was unable to dodge quickly in the air to let Magneton continue to attack.

A triangular loop appeared in front of Magneton, and then three beams of light of different colors shot out from the three points of the triangle.

Because the skill was activated too quickly, Heracross, who was still in the air, couldn't dodge in time and was hit directly by the beams of light, flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Heracross, are you alright?!"

Seeing that Heracross had been badly attacked, Chiba Kaede hurriedly asked what was wrong.

"Hera!"

Hearing his trainer's call, Heracross slowly stood up and responded.

However, judging from the faint flames emanating from Heracross's body, it seems that it triggered the burn effect from the Triangle Attack.

However, this isn't a bad thing for Heracross, who has the Perseverance trait. Although the burning effect will continuously reduce its stamina, its attack power will also be greatly increased. It's a win-win situation!

"Heracross, keep attacking, but be careful to dodge!"

Seeing that Heracross was alright, Chiba Kaede quickly gave the order.

The time advantage is no longer on their side; the longer it drags on, the weaker Heracross will become.

"Magneto, let's continue the attack!"

Tie Xuan did not hesitate and chose to continue the attack.

This time, Heracross learned from its previous experience, predicting the landing point of Magneton's attack and avoiding damage in advance, quickly rushing to Magneton's front.

"Heracross, use Slam!"

To prevent Magneton from having the Sturdy property, Chiba chose to use a multi-hit attack move called Push.

"Magnemite is unable to battle, so the winner of this Gym Challenge is Maple from Spring Blossom Town!"

Magneton ultimately couldn't withstand Heracross's powerful shove after its Guts ability was activated, and it lost its ability to fight after the third hit.

After reviewing the results, referee Walter announced the outcome of the match.

"Congratulations, Xiaofeng! Playing against you was really enjoyable, hahaha!"

Although he lost the match, Tie Xuan was very happy. He felt that the boy in front of him had fully demonstrated his level, and his strength had exceeded the standard for awarding the dojo badge.

"Me too, it was an impressive match, and I learned a lot from it!"

Chiba Kaede, as usual, engaged in mutual flattery.

"Haha, this is our gym's Electricity Badge, and you earned it through your own skill!"

Tie Xuan chuckled and handed a badge to Qian Yefeng.

"Thanks!"

After politely thanking him, Chiba Kaede accepted the electric badge.

The shape of the electric power emblem is an iron rod passing through a concentric circle, and its color is yellow with a hint of blue, symbolizing the concept of electromagnetic conversion.

Thank you to reader Durenbu for the monthly ticket support!
