Chapter 262 Thunder Drum vs. Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon

Whether the monsters in Area Zero can be tamed has nothing to do with the talent and strength of the trainer. They lack the most important intelligence as Pokémon. This is the truth that Clavel, who used to be a colleague with Orin and Dr. Fortu, learned.

This is also the consensus of everyone who has explored Area Zero.

Clavel's arm, which was holding the commemorative ball, fell down. Now he could only trust Ye Ci and Luo Mu.

On the battlefield, the much-anticipated battle also begins at this moment.

Huang Bo did not refuse Luo Mu's concession to let him attack first. He raised the corner of his mouth and excitedly ordered: "Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, dance the dragon dance!"

This was almost an opportunity that Luo Mu was given for free. Instead of launching a reckless attack, it was better to strengthen first and then take advantage. This was the experience that Huangbo had learned from countless battles with Lip!

"Roar--!"

While letting out a deafening dragon roar, the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon's powerful arms slammed down into each other, and it began to perform a fierce dragon dance on the spot. The light red light that lit up on its body represented that its already excellent speed and strength had been improved to a higher level!
Luo Mu also gave the order at the right time: "Electrical site."

In Clavel's gradually widening eyes, the huge body of the Thunder Drum was reflected as it began to move.

The Menglei drum actually obeyed Luo Mu's command!

Meng Lei Gu, who maintained a highly stable mood, stomped his front paws heavily on the ground, and a surge of lightning suddenly burst out from his thundercloud-like purple mane. The terrifying electric energy was transmitted along Meng Lei Gu's body to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the venue turned into a field of splashing lightning!

"It's an Electric-type Pokémon, so Scaledor, Earthquake!"

Having gained the advantage of attacking first, Huang Bo naturally wanted to continue to expand this advantage, and decisively issued the second order while the Menglei Drum was in action.

The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon immediately executed the order, and smashed its arm, which was wrapped with ochre-colored ground energy, heavily to the ground with a force as heavy and powerful as a thousand-pound boulder.

No one suspected how terrible the earthquake that would erupt in the next moment would be. They all stood firm in horse stance or looked for support to prevent falling.

At this moment, the electrical field had been laid, and Luo Mu chuckled and said, "Thunder."

A dull thunder exploded, and the next second, under the astonished gazes of countless teachers and students, a surging and vast thunder burst out from the mane of the fierce thunder drum, and arrived first, directly descending on the sturdy body of the staff-tailed scaly dragon!

"Roar!!!"

The pupils of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon suddenly shrank, and before its superior senses could react, its whole body was corroded by the terrifying force of thunder. It couldn't help but let out a painful roar, and the action of using its fists to create an earthquake was forced to stop because of the paralysis of its body.

Papa, who was watching, had his eyes wide open. His first reaction was what had just happened. Even if it was lightning, wasn't the speed too fast?
The second reaction was that Thunderdrum seemed to be a paradoxical Pokémon.

In other words, his future goal of entering Area Zero to protect his parents means that he needs to defeat paradoxical Pokémon like Thunderbolt in the Padya Pit?
Eh? I'm fighting Paradox Pokémon? Is that true?

Piper was lost in thought.

After all, it is a dragon-attribute Pokémon famous for its excellent physical fitness, and Scaleddon is one of the top ordinary dragon-attribute Pokémon. It relied on its excellent physical fitness to directly withstand the electric current.

As a price, several scales on the body of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon were charred, and a burnt smell like being grilled came out of its body. Even though it was resistant to electrical attacks, the Thunder with the bonus of the electrical field still caused considerable damage to the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon.

The Thunder, which came late but was first to arrive, completely caught Huangbo off guard. Not only was it a skill name she had never heard of, but in her impression, electric-attribute moves should not have attacks with such effects. Only the evil-attribute surprise attacks seemed to be related to it in some way.

Facing the stick-tailed scaly dragon that was emitting white smoke, she asked worriedly, "Staff-tailed scaly dragon! Are you okay?"

The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon shook its head and growled to show that it was fine.

Huang Bo's eyes narrowed: "Very good, let Lord Luo Mu see our perseverance, Dragon Wave!"

The giant blue-purple energy dragon with bared fangs and claws pounced towards the fierce thunder drum. Its powerful momentum made many students involuntarily take a step back, as if they were frightened by the staff-tailed scaly dragon.

Although it looks like a Pokémon that specializes in close combat, its special attack ability is actually not bad either.

"We're coming too, Dragon Wave."

Luo Mu waited until the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon and Huangbo had adapted well before he slowly gave orders. This was just a sparring match or a coaching match, there was no need to focus on the details of those few seconds. The most important thing was to test the resistance of the Thunder Drum to being commanded.

Meng Lei Gu opened his mouth, and a huge amount of dragon-attribute energy gathered, and it also transformed into a ferocious dragon and burst out.

The dragon waves collided and clashed with each other, and a huge cloud of dust rolled up in the center of the collision. Then, the dragon wave of the Thunder Drum, which was obviously in the upper hand, tore through the smoke and dust and continued to roar towards the Staff-tail Scaled Dragon.

"Dragon Claw!"

"Roar!"

The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon roared toward the sky, crossed its arms, and transformed its dragon energy into giant fluorescent green claws, smashing hard at the roaring dragon wave!
boom!
The air waves and sounds brought by the energy explosion spread out together, and the smoke and dust that were blown up forced the students to cover their mouths and noses, half-squinting their eyes to look at the interior of the venue, wanting to know whether the staff-tailed scaly-armored dragon had survived.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a significant gap in strength between the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon and the Fierce Thunder Drum. They really wanted to know how long this new combat teacher could last against Luo Mu.

"The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon is still standing!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and the students quickly focused their attention on the smoke and dust. The still standing figure of the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon was looming in the floating smoke and dust.

Huang Bo's face was serious. She knew that the gap between the two sides' physical fitness was too big and the gap must be narrowed!

She wants to go all out!
"Sonic boom of soul dance!"

In the smoke and dust, a roar that was louder than the previous dragon roar sounded, as if a clanging sound that could shock people's hearts was played inside. Accompanied by the air waves that swept away the smoke and dust, and with a powerful presence, the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon launched a charge towards the Thunder Drum!
With every step forward, the aura of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon weakened.

With every step forward, the momentum of the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon becomes more powerful.

This is the exclusive move of the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon clan. It improves one's abilities in all aspects at the cost of losing most of one's own physical strength!
Huang Bo clenched his right fist and blasted forward: "Close combat!"

The eyes of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon turned red, and it rushed in front of the Thunder Drum in an instant. Its fierce punches, dancing like a hurricane, continued to hit the surface of the Thunder Drum. The dull sound of flesh colliding with flesh continued to ring out, and the sweeping air waves made the students raise their hands to resist.

Meng Lei Gu lowered his eyes and looked at the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon that was attacking him with all its might, with an expression of admiration.

Yes, he dared to fight with me in close combat despite such a huge difference in physique. This is quite courageous.

But the dignity of the dragon is inviolable. I believe that the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon also knows what price he will pay.

When Meng Lei Gu had such thoughts in his mind, Luo Mu's voice arrived on time.

"Dragon hammer!"

The majestic dragon-attribute energy gathered on the surface of the Thunder Drum, as if it were a hard armor, or an unbreakable surface. The huge body of the Thunder Drum turned into a huge battering ram, and swung towards the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon with unparalleled power!
The scaly-armored dragon that was punching crazily paused, and the next moment, an irresistible force was transmitted from the two fists that touched the fierce thunder drum. The scaly-armored dragon was like a tennis ball that could be hit by anyone, and was directly hit by the fierce thunder drum into the cracked field. Seeing this, the students exclaimed one after another.

The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, which has been strengthened to that level, couldn't even get any good in front of the Thunder Drum. How terrifying must the basic strength of the Thunder Drum be?

The effect of this attack was extremely significant, directly reducing the already limited physical strength of the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon to near the red line.

The Staff-tailed Squamata dragon struggled to stand up on the field where there were crackling sounds and electrical currents running wild. Its body felt as weak as if it had been hit head-on by a huge truck.

However, even though they are in such a desperate situation, the fighting spirit of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon and Huangbo has not diminished at all, and they are still thinking about how to break the impasse!

Originally, Huang Bo didn't want to use this kind of move that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt herself by eight hundred, but she knew very well that if she didn't use everything she had, she would not be able to compete with the fierce thunder drum.

Huang Bo yelled, "Scale noise, then reverse scale!"

The Armored Dragon stood up with extraordinary perseverance and rubbed the scales on its body. The loud sound, like nails rubbing on a blackboard, made the students cover their ears. The violent sound waves filled with dragon energy spread from the Armored Dragon as the center and converged towards the Thunder Drum under its control.

When the Thunder Drum was affected by the noise of the scales and paused in its movement, the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon seized the opportunity and roared to the sky. Its body was completely covered by a blood-red light. It burst out with an astonishing and heart-shaking momentum, and stared at the Thunder Drum with dragon eyes filled with anger and violence!

At this moment, compared to the Thunder Drum, the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon was more like an irrational monster from Area 0. The timid girls and boys had even hidden behind their friends, not daring to show their heads.

In the eyes of the furious Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, there was only the figure of the Thunder Drum at this time. It broke through the ground and rushed in front of the Thunder Drum in an instant, and the violent close combat broke out again!

With multiple blessings, the destructive power of the Staff-Tailed Scaled Armored Dragon has reached the level that can cause damage to the Thunder Drum, and Luo Mu's voice also arrived.

"Crazy Volts—"

The dazzling electric current exploded on the surface of the thunder drum under the support of the electrical field.

The huge body of the Thunder Drum rushed towards the Armored Dragon like a cannonball. This time, even though the dragon had to endure the pain of its body being eroded by lightning, it gritted its teeth and resisted, even though its body was knocked back more than ten meters on the ground by the Thunder Drum.

Mudan's eyes behind the lenses wavered for a moment. She remembered that when her father became the new champion of the Galar League when she was a child, he seemed to have fought hard like Huangbo.
"Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, well done!"

Seeing that the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon had finally withstood the attack of the Thunder Drum, Huang Bo's eyes lit up, knowing that this was the only chance.

She shouted without hesitation: "Resurrect with this strike! Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, survive from desperate situation --!!!"

The red eyes of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon became clear for a moment at this moment. It let out an earth-shaking roar, and its already precarious physical strength turned into infinite power, and its terrifying momentum soared into the sky.

Even if it will fall down after this attack, it must leave its mark on the Thunder Drum!
That's right. As a Fighting-type Pokémon, it will definitely use this comeback move. It seems that Ash's Mega Lucario used this move to turn the tables on Ranjitzu's Garchomp?

Luo Mu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the venue where the electrical energy was rapidly dissipating. It was indeed almost time and it was time for this battle to end.

I don’t know how bright the light this move will emit with the blessing of Tai Crystalization and the sunny day.

At the moment when the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon clenched its right fist tightly and struck the Thunder Drum, Luo Mu gently waved his right hand upwards and whispered, "Electricity rises."

hum-

A heart-shaking buzzing sound came from the sky.

In an instant, everyone's vision was filled with dazzling golden flashes. They subconsciously closed their eyes and tears oozed out.

All the electricity in the electrical field that was about to dissipate turned into furious thunder force and gathered at one point. With an eardrum-shaking roar, the rising column of thunder rushed into the sky.

The last struggle of the Armored Dragon was completely frozen in that moment.

As the violent power of thunder gradually dissipated, a foul stench filled the air.

Huang Bo opened his eyes with difficulty, his heart beating wildly.

When she saw clearly that the charred Armored Dragon with a Staff Tail was still standing there, with its fist only one step away from the Thunder Drum, her expression changed and she stumbled towards it.

Because of panic, she temporarily lost her voice.

Meng Lei Gu lowered his eyes and looked at the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon that was still standing, with an expression of admiration on his face.

This perseverance and the courage to challenge the strong and fight to the last moment are worthy of praise.

Afterwards, Meng Lei Gu, knowing that his presence would make some people nervous, unintentionally touched other people's hearts and directly signaled Luo Mu with his eyes to let him put himself back into the advanced ball.

Nemo and Bob Tubo in the crowd felt extremely shocked at this moment, and a small seed was planted at this moment.

Will they be able to burst out such dazzling lightning in the future?
At this time, among the students who were standing still because of shock, a beautiful pink-haired woman pushed through the crowd and quickly ran to Huangbo and the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon. Under her slightly surprised expression, Mimosa showed a sweet smile.

"I'm Mimosa, who's in charge of the infirmary. Leave the treatment of the Staff-tailed Scaled Ankylosaur to me."

After saying that, Mimosa took out a bottle of special spray for treating paralysis from her white coat, and released a Geranium from a Poké Ball, commanding it to use healing waves to heal the Armored Dragon that had lost its ability to fight.

Luo Mu paused when he took out the Flower Healing Ring Poké Ball and smiled helplessly. It seemed that God was going to make Mimosa and Huangbo friends.

Looking at Huangbo whose eyes were full of the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon, it seemed that I should tell Huangbo my suggestion alone later. Right now, she was probably worried about the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon.

Under the students' admiring or fearful gazes, Luo Mu turned and walked to the other side. Now that the battle was over, he decided to go and take a look at his new independent office after his promotion.

Clavell looked deeply at Luo Mu's back. Today, he witnessed history and the joint battle between the paradoxical Pokémon and the human trainers.

The prejudices and stereotypes he had when studying the Padia Pit were completely rewritten at this moment.

"Among the paradoxical Pokémon, there are also very special individuals that can form partnerships with trainers and fight together."

Suppressing his inner excitement, Clavel said in a deep voice: "The winners of this one-on-one Pokémon singles battle are Luo Mu & Meng Lei Gu!"

In the chairman's office, Ye Ci stood with his arms behind his back, his eyes still seeming to reflect the thunder that had just risen into the sky.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking at the cooperation plan initiated by the Galar Alliance in her hand, she whispered: "With his talent, I think it won't be long before he can surpass me and compete with the most dazzling stars in other alliances."

"I'm sure Orin and Dr. Fortu will be even more excited when they receive this video. The research on "Paradox Pokémon also have special individuals that can form partnerships with trainers" has already reached a very mature direction."

"Oh, by the way, I remember that his Dragonite probably hasn't learned "Super Speed" yet. It just so happens that the Dragonite Clan in the Johto region is planning to hold that event soon. Yasaku probably won't go to avoid his family. Then we can ask Luo Mu if he's willing to go."
