Thunder flashes and lightning flows.
Standing on the golden field, Babu stretched himself comfortably.
On the electric field, Pichu was the first to learn a new move in the special training last night. It's just that both parties are of the electric type and enjoy the increase in power equally - even taking into account the initial ability gap, this is more beneficial to Babu Tudou. The instructor's apprentice who temporarily served as the referee scratched his head when he saw this, not sure what Pichu's trainer was thinking.
"Push!"
"There was a flash of lightning."
Shino Sasa gave the attack order in a furious manner, and Babu Woodchuck waved his strong palms and approached. Pichu, however, did not confront it head-on. The dexterous Electric Rat dodged around the field, dodging left and right, and from time to time sent out an electric shock to come forward - although the electric-type moves enhanced by the Electric Field could not cause damage to opponents with electricity-charging characteristics. , but it is more than enough to neutralize the impact of its palm wind.
The pulsating current made Babu Tubo's fighting spirit rise, and his strength continued to surge. It noticed that the fine golden light was gathering more and more around it, as if there was some conspiracy coming to the stage. It immediately changed its posture and turned the "push" into a more ferocious "close combat".
The sudden change of moves prevented Pichu from reacting in time, and he was knocked away in a whoosh. The referee almost waved the flag down, but found that the little electric mouse did not fall to the ground, but was suspended at a high place against gravity.
"Infuriating bomb——"
"Electromagnetic levitation."
Orange balls of light were fired into the sky like cannonballs, and Pichu seemed to grow wings overnight, moving freely in the sky. It sometimes went straight and sometimes turned sharply, without even a hair being scratched by the powerful shock wave.
Looking closely, the thread-like electric current is looming and flickering in the air, as if the electrical field is lifted up to the sky out of thin air, outlining a huge overwhelming net, and also laying a track to guide Pichu's flight. The flickering electric light quickly traveled along the passage, completely strangling the last aftermath of the zhenqi bomb.
Babu Woodchuck tried to pursue him, but the electric current changed his moves faster. The huge network is like an extension of Pichu's hands and feet. With just a thought, the other end of the golden wire becomes a new launch point for attacks. The stream of light coming from behind hits Babutu's ankle, causing it to stagger and force it to temporarily Stop.
The young apprentice was dumbfounded for a moment, but Xiao Xi smiled brightly.
As early as yesterday, she heard the trainer describe the entire idea of this battle - the huge power grid covering the sky may seem like a fantasy at first, but if you abandon the attack power and restraint power of the power grid itself and only retain the form, it will become more powerful after long-term training. Veterans can do it easily, and beginners can also do it with some tips.
It sends out electric shocks time and time again not only to deal with the Babu landhog, but also to "weave" the electricity network. In just a few minutes, dense golden threads enveloped the entire electrical field. The moves from the same source complemented each other and increased in amplitude, making the electric shocks flowing on them faster and faster, and became a signpost for "electromagnetic levitation".
There is no time to practice the new moves that have been learned in a hurry. Even with Pichu's intelligence, he can only barely float slowly in the air; but if he only relies on electromagnetic levitation to provide propulsion, the direction and trajectory are all based on the power grid, and it is easy to maneuver in the air. As easy as sending out a hundred thousand volts. It is far stronger than being trapped on the ground and jumping around. No Pokémon can easily hit a target that flies at an extremely fast speed - and this is the most effective way to make up for Pichu's fragile body.
Witnessing the electric mouse's dexterity in controlling the new moves, Xiao Sasa was finally convinced that the young man's wild ideas were not nonsense. So, as the question maker of this exam, of course she should——
"Dig a hole!"
Facing the enemy in the air, Babu Tubo refused to advance but retreated, and his figure quickly disappeared into the flying soil. The opponent's trainer immediately became vigilant and instructed Pichu to fly high into the sky to guard against a surprise attack that would come from nowhere.
The next moment, Babu's landhog bounced off like a cannonball, instantly piercing the high-altitude power grid.
"Crazy Volt!"
"Iron Tail."
The big man covered in lightning slams into his opponent, releasing all his strength. Pichu seemed to be unable to compete with it at all, retreating step by step for a while; but the tail guarding him was shining with metallic luster, directing all the electricity into the air and discharging it, and the huge power grid was also gently folded behind him, no need to The momentum slowed down in a few seconds, allowing the electric mouse to deal with Crazy Volt without any harm.
After failing to hit the target, Babu Tubo flew up with a kick before falling, kicking Pichu into the air.
"One hundred thousand volts——"
"Charge."
The powerful current disrupted the network, and Pichu simply gave up flying and dived straight into the dazzling light. The majestic energy brought by the charge permeates the whole body, no less than Babu's electric shock, which advances from top to bottom in reverse direction, severely crushing the opponent and throwing him into a cloud of dust.
"Shadow clone."
"Rock Blockade!"
As it approached the ground, the little electric mouse turned into countless shadows, shaking with the dancing sand and dust, making people dizzy. Babu Tubo simply did not look at his opponent. The stone pillars rose up continuously, surrounding him as a shield. Fragile shadows dissipated between the stone edges, and the main body had already crossed the obstacle and was knocked down from above.
"Iron Tail."
"Push!"
The hard tail and the generous palm collided again, and with the momentum of the free fall, Pichu actually tied with the big guy of the fighting system.
The intensive rapid attack and defense were dizzying, but the trainer did not relax his observation. The palms hidden behind Babu's back glowed with orange light, and Xiaoye, who caught this scene, immediately gave the order.
"Retreat—"
"Zhenqi bomb!"
The long-charged blow exploded with domineering fighting energy, tearing apart the current network in half almost instantly. Pichu's originally smooth flight suddenly stalled, almost falling from the air, and the shock wave of the explosion was already close in front of him.
"--thunder!"
As the instructions fell, Pichu released a dazzling and scorching torrent of electricity. The huge energy and the Qi bombs competed with each other, and soon dissipated in the confrontation; when the light went out, the Electric Rat stood leisurely on the opposite side, and the damaged power grid had long been repaired.
Babu Tubo paused his offensive with some breathlessness, questions creeping into his mind uncontrollably.
...Why does its little opponent still have the strength to send out such a strong electric shock?
The big man and the temporary referee next to him were scratching their heads. Only Shino Sasa, who knew the entirety of this tactic, could clearly see everything on the field.
Years of training have enabled Pichu to deliver threatening electric shocks - what limits it is not its attack power, but its fragile body and poor energy reserves. Now, the defensive disadvantage is made up for by aerial maneuverability, and another weakness is solved in the same way.
Electric field and power grid, the combination of the two moves locks the electric energy firmly in this area, without any leakage and dissipation; the electric shock used at every opportunity is not a hundred thousand volts, but a "charging beam" that strengthens the special attack, steadily improving. The electrical mouse’s firepower output. Coupled with the use of charging moves to absorb the opponent's electrical energy, at this point in the battle, Pichu, who should have been on the verge of exhaustion in the past, was full of energy and more motivated than before the battle.
——But this situation will not last long.
The arc light flowing across the earth is getting faster and faster, which is a sign that the effect of the electric field is about to end. Once the site that is the foundation of the battle disappears, the huge power grid will never be able to maintain its shape, let alone continue to lock in electricity. At that time, Pichu will have to consume his energy to generate electricity again, and the aerial maneuver of electromagnetic levitation will be difficult to maintain. If it comes in handy, all the advantages previously established will be wiped out.
In the discussion last night, Shino Sasa had already pointed out this drawback for trainers - win the battle before the end of the electric field, or find a way to maintain its effectiveness, otherwise the fancy new tactics will be meaningless.
In a flash, Pichu was already running at high speed under the command of his trainer, as if he wanted to seize the last chance to give it a try. With the blessing of electromagnetic levitation, its figure was so dexterous that Babu Tudou couldn't stop it from getting close.
"Angel's Kiss——"
"Sonic punch!"
Faced with dangerous moves that could cause one to lose consciousness, Babu Tudou used his fastest speed. They jumped and flashed between the electric lights, and the fist wind that was enough to blast the air danced out bright light trails, and finally touched the opponent's body at a certain moment.
The sensitive power grid suddenly lit up, and the energy of the punch disappeared in the restraint. Pichu took advantage of the situation and jumped up. Driven by the electromagnetic force, he soared into the sky and reached the highest point of the giant network in an instant.
The distance made it difficult to see clearly, and Shino Sasa could only see what seemed to be a flash of aqua blue at the tip of the electric rat's tail. Before she had time to think about what that meant, the sky changed.
Thick shade blocks out the sun, and fog locks in the smoke. The midsummer sun faded quickly, and the dark clouds hung low and heavy, making the day as dark as night.
The cold raindrops fell on her cheeks, causing Xiaoxiao's originally calm expression to suddenly freeze. The next moment, heavy rain fell from the sky, drenching everyone on the field.
When the electricity about to dissipate touches the raindrops, it triggers a violent chemical reaction like water falling into an oil pan. The electricity hidden in the air exploded instantly, and for a moment, the eyes were filled with golden light. The figure of Babu Tubo, who was the first to bear the brunt, was swallowed up. Only the painful screams penetrated the rain curtain and reached the ears of the trainer.
Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed uncontrollably.
The conductivity of water is far better than that of air. With the already established power grid, a rainy day is like an enhanced version of a large electrical field - only, it is more intense and uncontrollable. Although Piqiu has tried his best to control it, the current of the fire is still there. The humans on the field were also affected, and the numbness climbed along the toes to the top of the head, making the temporary referee couldn't help shouting.
Shino Sasa didn't care at all. She wiped the rain off her face and looked at the young man opposite, who was also motionless. The light in her eyes was as dazzling as thunder.
This guy is really...a bold madman!
Babu Woodchuck has not experienced such a strong sense of numbness for a long time. Its fluffy body hair can store electricity, which is a necessary condition for activating the characteristic "Electricity Storage". The heavy downpour wetted its hair, greatly reducing its ability to store electricity. The tingling sensation clearly spread to every corner of its body, making it feel as if it had returned to its infancy before it had the ability to store electricity.
And its rivals don't plan to stop there.
"There was a flash of lightning."
"Move at high speed!"
The trainer's voice restored its consciousness. The Bobcat flew up, jumping and dodging between the remaining stone edges, trying to shake off the opponent - it didn't want to try what it felt like to touch that wet ball of electrified fur.
Facing the flashing rain curtain, two electric mice chased and fought. Seeing that the situation was in a stalemate, the invisible power grid suddenly flashed and wrapped around the big man's ankle like a chain. Babu Mu only felt a sticky resistance coming from the soles of his feet. He stumbled and lost his balance, falling from the towering stone edge.
"Freeze Punch——!"
Babu Tubo adjusted his posture in the air, and swung his fist filled with cold air downwards, instantly freezing the stone blade and sand debris together. The smooth bevel was enough to absorb the impact, and finally the guy didn't fall to pieces. But Pichu, who was flying like a rail train, didn't care about the slopes and ravines, and rushed straight over the obstacles.
"Discharge!"
At this point, there was no time to take aim. The majestic lightning burst out without distinguishing between friend and foe, burning the ice and stone pillars until they cracked. The electric grid in the sky instantly closed down and turned into a shield to resist it; while Pichu's body rushed out of it with a snap of his fingers, as fierce as a bullet chasing the enemy.
"Headbutt."
"Close combat!"
The brief gap of a few seconds allowed Babu to adjust his posture and hit the sky with his powerful and heavy fist. Pichu did not confront him head-on. The bodies of both sides separated as soon as they touched each other, and the distance between them was once again widened.
"—One hundred thousand volts!"
The same instructions sounded in the heavy rain. Two thunderbolts, one up and one down, met each other in mid-air, and the fight was indistinguishable. Even the dark clouds were illuminated by brilliant golden light.
There is no doubt that the rhythm is flowing into Pichu's hands little by little.
The scene of confronting the final evolved form with an infant body is incredible enough. but--
Xiao Ye raised her head and looked at the sky.
That's not all.
The violent collision between electricity finally caused changes in the celestial phenomena. Above the clouds, there was a faint rolling sound of thunder. The rumble was not loud yet, but it beat on the hearts of the combatants like a war drum.
Xiaoxiao vaguely realized something. A seemingly bizarre thought flashed through him quickly, and became increasingly clear due to the crazy actions of the person opposite him. The electrical expert immediately waved his hand and gave the attack order.
"Rock Blockade."
The sharp stone edges rose again, chasing Pichu from left to right. Soon there was only a thin gap between the two sides, and the electric mouse waited for an opportunity to rush in, which played right into Babu Tubo's hands.
"Double click of lightning!"
That was a powerful move that once defeated Pichu. The familiar brilliant flames wrapped around his body, and Babu turned into a sharp arrow, stabbing the enemy in the air with lightning speed.
"—Hold it."
The sudden turn of instructions caused Xiao Xian to pause. In an instant, the double-click of the electric light reached the target, and the surging impact pushed Pichu far away; but the inconspicuous green light did not go out, and it struggled to remain intact amidst the strong wind and thunder.
Suspended on the top of the power grid, closest to the thunderclouds, Pichu lowered his head, his big black eyes reflecting everything in the heavy rain.
The electrical nets covering the sky are like extensions of Pichu's arms. They can easily serve as tracks to assist flight, or they can be used as chains to restrain enemies - of course, they can also fly up and turn into wings that reach the sky.
At this moment, the golden thread covering the earth suddenly rose. Like a rain of reversal from bottom to top, the dazzling splendor made Babu raise his head subconsciously and witnessed the breathtaking picture.
Countless threads of electric light condensed and converged, rising high like huge wings; the dark clouds roared low, unable to contain their anger any longer, and rained down bright thunder. The light between heaven and earth met at one point, rolling and screaming in Pichu's small body, and finally transformed into a beast that could shake mountains and rivers.
It was not an irreproducible miracle caused by the call of will, but the fruitful result of the superposition of simple moves and techniques. The foundation laid by the electrical field, the huge energy left by the grid lock, and the attack power increased by the charging beam; all of this accumulated when Xingliu Ting hit the baht and poured into the full force of the warrior.
"--thunder!"
The giant dragon with a body of lightning raised its head and roared. The brilliant golden light engulfed his field of vision bit by bit. Babu Tudou tried to dodge, but found that the Thunder Dragon's open mouth almost swallowed the entire sky, leaving no safe place to hide.
After the collision, my ears fell into an eerie silence.
The hair that was wetted by the rain could not store electricity as before. Babu Tudou could clearly feel the hot electric current burning his skin like a flame and piercing his body. Finally, even his will was overwhelmed by the pain and sank into the bottomless depths. of darkness.
The rain gradually stopped.
The light dissipated along with the thunder. It took half a minute for the trainers to regain their vision from the excessive flash and see clearly what the field looked like now.
The big, strong man was lying unconscious on the ground. The shorter guy stood aside, already crumbling.
Even with all the tricks to keep him alive, after the fierce and excessive battle, Pichu's physical strength was exhausted to the limit. It could barely see whether the Babu marmot opposite was standing or lying down. Only a trace of rock-like tenacious will supported it and stood firmly, refusing to fall down.
The referee's voice came vaguely into his ears, seeming to announce someone's victory. The electric mouse suddenly became anxious and struggled to turn around, trying to get answers from its trainer.
The young human walked up to it and had not spoken yet, but his smile full of appreciation and affirmation was like the summer sunshine, calming Pichu's anxious heart.
It won.
It can win, it's strong, and it actually comes in handy.
Now...can you finally sleep peacefully?
Two hours later, the sun was setting in the west.
"Don't worry, it's very healthy. Just be careful not to overextend yourself too often in the future."
After the physical examination, Xiao Xian stuffed the sleeping ball of yellow hair back into the young man's hands.
Her eyes lingered on Pichu's pink electric storage bag. If they hadn't experienced that battle personally, even electrical experts would be hard-pressed to imagine that a young electric rat had the body to devour natural lightning, and was smart enough to direct every arc of electricity like an arm.
"What an amazing little guy." Xiao Sasa praised, "Even my Babu woodchuck may not be able to withstand such a huge thunder. If it continues to be trained like this, maybe it will evolve one day - —”
The lecturer changed the topic.
"But now it's not needed, right?"
The young trainer took over his partner and nodded solemnly to the older man.
"certainly."
After packing her luggage, Xiaoye began to bow respectfully again, expressing her gratitude for the battle that was almost equivalent to a trick. As soon as Xiaojie saw this battle, she had a headache. She immediately scolded the students who didn't listen and drove the annoying guy out of the door.
The two of them made a vigorous noise, but still failed to disturb Pichu's sleep.
In the past, when it was in the best mood, it would often have a dream: it had evolved into a tall and strong person, and could make the earth shake by stamping its feet. And now——
The trainer reached out and touched its smiling face.
That was probably a dream where the short electric mouse defeated the big one.
====================
small theater:
Xiaojie: It’s not enough to put up a sign prohibiting the use of honorifics. If you say one in the future, you’ll be fined 100,000 yuan! (angry)
