Chapter 379: Are your Jigglypuff hands a little dirty? (asking for 6k monthly tickets)
Seeing Luo Mu walking away, Pi Pa's eyes flashed with confusion: "Why did the teacher say that I would only teach you once?"
Mudan nodded in agreement: "Obviously this time it's 8 vs 8, if everything goes well we should be able to play all four games."
Shinji looked thoughtful as if he remembered something, but Nemo didn't care about anything else and just thought that Teacher Luo Mu was the strongest.
Only Papa, who was very sober and knew Luo Mu best, had an indescribable expression.
"What do you mean you're only teaching me once? I'm afraid you're afraid that if we keep fighting, we'll be beaten up after the fight."
"It's not enough that he harmed us. He even set his sights on the gym owner and fellow teachers."
War preparation area.
Luo Mu met his opponents today. They were all familiar with each other and there was no formality. They gathered together and chatted.
There is nothing much to say about the eight gym masters, and the lineup of teachers that took part in the battle was also as expected by Luo Mu. Because they would not use their main forces, the strength of both sides was very ambiguous and it was impossible to determine who was stronger.
Grape Academy teachers: Mathematics teacher Taim, history teacher Leihe, home economics teacher Savaro, biology teacher Genia, linguistics teacher Saiji, combat teacher Huangbo, art teachers Basaku and Luo Mu.
The Gym Leaders: Bug-type Gym Leader Feng, Grass-type Gym Leader Kosa, Electric-type Gym Leader Qishu, Water-type Gym Leader Haidai, Normal-type Gym Leader Aoki, Ghost-type Gym Leader Lime, Psychic-type Gym Leader Lip, and Ice-type Gym Leader Gurusha.
Soon, Clavel began to announce the battle combinations.
Compared to Yasaku, who finally found a chance to avenge the loss in the battle of the Four Heavenly Kings and finally had a chance to compete with Luo Mu again.
Most of the gym owners also cast eager glances at Luo Mu at the same time.
Including the owner of the Aoki Pavilion who was pulled in to perform for free.
Silently pulling back the soul he had spit out, Qingmu thought expressionlessly that as long as he ran into Luo Mu in the first round, he would be able to get off work.
Middle-aged office worker praying
"First up is Area A!"
Amid the cheers of the students, Clavel took eight freshly-written slips of paper and read out the names written on them one by one.
"Hasaku-sensei versus Gym Master Kosa, Savaro-sensei versus Gym Master Kaidai, Genia-sensei versus Gym Master Aoki, and Saiji-sensei versus Gym Master Lip."
As Clavel finished speaking, the students' cheers became louder.
Even Luo Mu was surprised by the grouping that came about by chance and accident.
It's not just an artist duel between Yasaku and Kosa. If all goes well, we'll also be able to see Aoki, who is ostensibly a gym leader but is actually a salaryman, a member of the alliance, and one of the Four Heavenly Kings, having a duel between Yasaku and the Four Heavenly Kings!
"Great!"
Suddenly, Luo Mu heard Qi Shu cheering happily in a low voice not far away.
Looking at Qi Shu, who was only about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall and was the tallest among all the contestants except the old teacher Taim, Luo Mu knew what she was excited about without having to guess.
He must want to avenge the attack he suffered last time.
Luo Mu looked at Qi Shu, who was giving him a provocative look, with a strange expression on his face, and remained silent.
Qishu thought Luo Mu was scared, and was so excited that his nose was about to turn up to the sky.
Hehe! Now, even if she has to fight a few more rounds, Miss Qishu can still fight a perfect revenge battle~!
In order to not affect the volume of his colleagues around him, Qishu happily boasted to the live broadcast room where more and more people were online.
Today, she, Qishu, is going to kill Luo Mu without leaving a single piece of armor!
"What if I lose again?"
Qi Shu caught a glimpse of a fast-moving bullet screen and said angrily, "What do you mean I lost again? What should I do?!"
"Qishu is extremely lucky today, he will definitely win!"
"If you lose, Qishu will eat the keyboard on Live!"
After hearing what Qishu said, viewers who were watching the live broadcast left messages saying, “Screenshot taken.”
Looking at the string of uniform speeches, Qishu was not scared at all, because she knew how outrageous her luck was today.
Compared to other players who didn't know whether they had drawn good cards or bad cards, Qi Shu directly drew the Electric-attribute Pokémon from Padiya, which was not a trump card but was still one that he was very familiar with, the Great Electric Petrel.
I even drew a matching magnet item that enhances the power of electric-attribute moves.
Compared to Miss Afeng's "Metapod", which Qishu had gone through so much trouble to trick information about, this was undoubtedly a perfect start. He couldn't even think of how he could lose!
If everything goes well, he might even be able to move straight to victory and crush the Four Heavenly Kings and his colleagues under his feet!
What interrupted Qi Shu's excited fantasy was Clavel who announced the grouping of Zone B.
"Teacher Leihe versus Pavilion Master Afeng, Teacher Taimu versus Pavilion Master Lime, Teacher Huangbo versus Pavilion Master Guluxia, Director Luo Mu versus Pavilion Master Qishu!"
As soon as Clavel finished speaking, the students suddenly burst into cheers and enthusiasm that were even stronger than before.
Clavel smiled bitterly and looked at the eight slips of paper in his hand.
He dared to guarantee that there was no shady operation today and everything was random, but why was the combination drawn so coincidental?
Whether it is the sister battle between Teacher Taim and Gym Master Lime, or the second battle between Luo Mu and Qi Shu that has recently sparked heated discussions on the Internet, they are all very eye-catching, and it is no wonder that the students are excited.
Clavel remembered that even the poison master of the Johto region, A-Jie, the Four Heavenly Kings, praised Luo Mu's combination of poison, substitute, and protection.
To be frank, although this tactic has many shortcomings, even if everything cannot be carried out step by step as allowed by the tactics, there are still many ways to crack it.
The poison guard is by no means invincible, and even has many loopholes.
But this cannot conceal the fact that "Substitute Poison" is a kind of interspersed tactics, suitable for everyone from the top champion to the novice trainer.
It is said that many trainers who specialize in poison attributes, in addition to studying how to make their Pokémon's poison more difficult to remove and increase its toxicity, have quietly begun to practice using the intervals between "Substitute" and "Hold" moves, integrating them into their own tactics and looking for the right time to insert them.
I wonder what new and eye-catching actions Luo Mu, who drew a random Pokémon, will do today.
At this moment, Qishu even ignored the barrage of comments that filled her vision. She looked at Luo Mu, who looked "guilty", with surprise, and another idea came to her mind.
Miss Qishu is really lucky today!
Amid the cheers of the students, the first battle was presented by Yasaku and Kosa from Area A, two very powerful trainers.
The one that Yasaku drew was a water + fairy type Marillion with the attribute of "Strongman", and the item was a very common "Pomelo Fruit".
Even though he is a dragon-attribute expert, Hassaku's smile is still very confident.
As the young master of a dragon tamer family, he was forced by his family to instill a lot of knowledge related to dragon attributes since he was a child.
Especially the natural enemy of Dragon-attribute Pokémon, Fairy-type Pokémon.
Yasaku confidently stated that some Fairy-type trainers might not know Fairy-type Pokémon as well as he does.
Kosa drew a poison and fire-type Flame Queen, which has the characteristic of "corrosion" that can penetrate the steel body of steel-type Pokémon, causing it to become poisoned. It can be said to be the mortal enemy of the grass-type Pokémon that he is best at.
The props are "hard stones" which are basically useless.
Poison defeats Fairy, water defeats Fire, plus both sides are strong trainers, this battle is bound to be exciting.
This was indeed the case. In the fierce battle, Kosa, holding a long whip with thorns, seemed to be in sync with the Flame Queen Lizard. The Flame Queen Lizard's flame whip, which was tempered with poison, forced Mariluri to retreat step by step.
But Yasaku was no pushover. He methodically directed Marillil to avoid the flame whip while looking for gaps to create attack opportunities. In the end, with the physical recovery brought by the pomelo fruit, he won the battle with a slight advantage.
The second match is between Leihe from Zone B and Afeng.
To be honest, Leihe didn't really want to fight. She would rather hang out in the library of Grape College, looking for ancient books that might be hidden in the corners of the library and witness stories of the past with her own eyes.
Her Pokémon is a Psychic-type Grimm with the ability to "step on shadows".
Originally, there were no Gurunworts in the Padia region, but the Grape Academy, which accepted students from various regions, naturally had students from Kanto. This Gurunwort was the descendant of those students' Gurunworts who stayed in the academy.
Feng's Pokémon is the same as Reihe's Goreng, both are descendants of Pokémon from students in Kanto - a nearly one-meter-long pupa Pokémon, Metapod.
The battle situation was more calm than tense.
Miss Afeng shouted "get hard" with a natural look on her face, while Leihe looked at Guoran Weng with a dead fish look, who would never move a step before the opponent's attack. The two sides fell into a stalemate.
It so happened that the Metapod that Ms. Feng drew did not learn the only attacking move it could learn, "Electric Grid", and Guo Ran Weng did not even know a single attacking move.
Because the winner might not be decided until the early morning, looking at the sleepy students around him, Clavel, who was in a headache, could only let Leihe and Afeng play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner.
Luo Mu personally feels that the only thing more abstract than this battle is probably the finger-shaking contest.
The third match was between Genia and Aoki. Aoki, who had been planning to take it easy and not let the opponent win without leaving any trace, had to resort to the "hard-core" move and forcibly won the match after Yasuji suddenly showed up.
Time passed quickly, and the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh games ended successfully one after another. The winner was decided, and finally it was time for the much-anticipated eighth game.
Luo Mu VS Qi Shu, the second round showdown!
Seeing Luo Mu and Qi Shu standing one after another on the battlefield in the playground, Mudan and the others became alert and sat up straight immediately.
Nemo cheered loudly for Luo Mu, while Shinji stared at Luo Mu's figure silently, wondering what Pokémon he would send out and what tactics he would show that he could only teach once and watch carefully.
"In the battle of revenge, transform into the wings of a strange tree and soar into the sky, Great Lightning Petrel!"
After posing a few times in front of the live broadcast phone held by his assistant, Qishu threw the Poké Ball in his hand with great momentum.
Nimo's gaze stayed on Qi Shu for a while, looking at the mobile phone that needed someone to hold for her to broadcast live, and seemed to be thinking about something.
The red laser condensed in the sky into a Pokémon that looked like a frigatebird, with feathers in black, yellow, and light gray, and a huge throat sac.
The Great Electric Petrel, which has the attributes of electricity and flight, is very common on the beaches of the Padia region, but because its feathers contain less oil, it is not very good at swimming.
Because it has entered combat mode, the arrow-shaped throat sac on the chest of the electric petrel has bulged, and dazzling electric sparks are flashing around it, making it look full of electricity.
Before throwing the Poké Ball in his hand, Luo Mu raised his eyebrows and thought, no wonder Qi Shu was so brave today.
It turns out that I have drawn the Electric-type Pokémon that I am most familiar with and understand the most. I don't know what item the Electric Petrel is carrying. If it is leftover food, I can use the "Desire" move to snatch it away.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu decisively threw the Poké Ball in his hand.
"Please, Jigglypuff."
The red light solidified, and the harmless figure of Jigglypuff suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Shinji's serious expression suddenly turned into surprise, Yeci showed an interested look, and Qishu almost opened the champagne.
There was a lot of noisy voices among the students at the scene.
The barrage of comments in Qishu's live broadcast room paused for a moment, then quickly flashed across, filling the entire screen.
"Isn't Jigglypuff Miss Joy's assistant?"
"Can this Jigglypuff fight?"
"Oh no! Don't let Qi Shu win!"
As we all know, in this Pokémon world, the Chansey clan is almost monopolized by the Joy clan which is spread all over the world, just like Arcanine and Miss Junsa.
Of course, there are also trainers who have a family of Chansey or Arcanine, and Miss Joy’s partner is Flower Therapy Ring, and Miss Junsha’s partner is Inspector Mongoose.
But this is still a minority.
Most people have subconsciously equated Lucky Egg, Jigglypuff Egg, and Happy Egg with logistical support.
The sentence "no one will let supports and doctors go to the battlefield" happens to illustrate the impression and positioning of the Jigglypuff clan in everyone's mind.
On one side is a large electric petrel with its body covered in dazzling electric sparks and in high spirits.
On one side is the nurse from Pokémon Go, a Chansey that you don’t even know how many moves it has.
The gap is too big!
Ye Ci glanced at Joey, who was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, completely covering his signature pink hair, and said confidently, "Even you didn't expect that Jigglypuff would be picked, right?"
She is the least experienced of the several Joys that operate the Pokémon Center in Table City.
In accordance with the requirements of Grape Academy, the Pokémon Center also provided a number of Pokémon for foster care.
Of course, the Pokémon trainers agreed.
This also includes Joey's partner Jigglypuff.
Joey looked at the Jigglypuff worriedly and muttered to himself, "Besides doing her job as a nurse, this kid also likes to learn moves from the various Pokémon that come to her for healing. I wonder if she can adapt to Pokémon battles."
Joey suddenly regretted agreeing to Chansey's request and temporarily stored its Poké Ball in Grape Academy.
Luo Mu didn't think he was very good at tactics. If he had to say what his fighting style was, it was probably similar to Xiaozhi's. However, because of the knowledge in his head and his calm personality, he was able to maintain his connection with Pokémon while constructing good tactics.
Chansey isn't used to fighting, and this might even be its first battle.
Luo Mu had already clearly realized this during the previous running-in.
So, for starters, what can best boost their mood?
“Hahaha, Qishu already knows that Jigglypuff can also learn poison, don’t even think about embarrassing Qishu again!” Qishu, who was facing Luo Mu, laughed in three parts, and turned around to give an order to the Big Electric Petrel in the sky, “Big Electric Petrel, 100,000 volts!”
That’s right, the method Qishu came up with to deal with the poison was to keep the big electric petrel away from the slow-moving Jigglypuff and to directly carry out a long-range attack!
Even though this is a bit of a cheat and not so aboveboard, it is still much better than "guarding against the poison"!
"Wow!"
The surface of the big electric petrel's body flashed with lightning, and the violent electric current turned into a long golden snake, striking straight towards Jilidan!
One hundred thousand volts was extremely fast, and before Jigglypuff could react it had already arrived in front of it.
Before Jigglypuff had time to panic, Luo Mu's voice, which seemed to carry some kind of magical power to soothe its heart, rang in its ears.
"Get smaller!"
Recalling Luo Mu's previous advice "Don't think too much during the battle, just follow my instructions", Jigglypuff felt calm and activated his general energy. It seemed that his body was curling up and becoming smaller, but in fact his body suddenly became the size of a basketball!
Because the big electric petrel was aiming at Jigglypuff's round body that looked like a target, once Jigglypuff's body suddenly shrank, its 100,000 volts of electricity would whiz past Jigglypuff, charring the ground that had been hit by the disaster, and it would fall directly into the air.
Qishu: ????
Can you still play like this?
"Big Electric Petrel, use discharge this time!"
Qishu didn't believe it. Since the 100,000 volts was dodged, she would switch to indiscriminate discharge with a larger range, which might even hurt teammates. She didn't believe that Jilidan could still dodge it!
The electric petrel cried out loudly again, and as the lightning flashed again, a long lightning snake with much more power than 100,000 volts struck towards Jigglypuff!
Even if it is used in a smaller size, the Jigglypuff cannot avoid such discharge.
Luo Mu whispered: "Believe in yourself, next!"
Faced with the astonishment of the crowd, Jigglypuff suppressed his desire to escape and just stood there, watching the electric discharge coming towards him and exploding on his body!
Some timid girls and boys have closed their eyes, as if they dare not watch any further.
Joey, who was beside Ye Ci, was so worried that he almost rushed forward to ask Jigglypuff to give up the fight.
Yasaku and Aoki, who were going to fight each other in the next match, stood together. Yasaku crossed his arms, wondering what Luo Mu was thinking, while Aoki, who could barely be considered a general-type expert, had a thoughtful look on his face.
He remembered that Jigglypuff's special attack resistance seemed pretty good.
The horrifying electrical discharge raged for more than ten seconds. Nemo clenched her hands and stared at Chansey, who was shrouded in electric light. Because her original Pokémon was Bubblehead, she could clearly understand how horrifying the power of a high-power electrical discharge that lasted for such a long time was.
When the lightning dissipated, the noisy environment suddenly became silent, and even the barrage in Qishu's live broadcast room was quiet for a while.
There was hardly any damage to Jigglypuff's body except for some burn marks.
Qishu even showed a surprised expression. With the help of the "magnet", the electric petrel was able to discharge electricity without any moisture. Isn't this Jigglypuff too fragile?
Luo Mu’s heart was as clear as a mirror.
With the bonus of the evolution stone, the electric discharge of the Electric Petrel may not be just a tickle to the Jigglypuff with extremely outstanding special defense, but it will not cause much damage.
The thing about the Jigglypuff is that obviously Qishu only needs to let the big electric swallow be poisoned, but now Luo Mu has a lot of things to consider. He has to combine the small egg and the rock collapse. It's really brain-consuming and tiring.
With a helpless sigh, Luo Mu gave the second command to Jigglypuff, which was already ready in the discharge.
"Rockfall!"
Jigglypuff suddenly felt that the electric discharge was not so painful and opened his eyes. A gleam of light flashed in his little eyes.
"lucky~"
As Jigglypuff raised its little hand, the rock energy that had already gathered gathered above the head of the Giant Electric Petrel, forming several rocks about the size of basketballs out of thin air, which fell on the head of the Giant Electric Petrel that had just finished discharging and had no time to flap its wings to avoid it!
Rumble!
Chansey's physical attack is terrible, with almost no potential for improvement, so the "Rockslide" it releases is not even as good as the "Rockfall" of many Rock-type Pokémon, and the damage is even more different.
Even though the effect is excellent, the damage caused by this rock collapse is still not high, but it is extremely insulting.
There was an uproar all around.
Wow, I’ve learned a lot.
If someone were to cause trouble at the Pokémon Center, Chansey would wave her hand and summon a rockfall to hit him on the head. Just thinking about it makes my worldview collapse.
Just as the angry electric petrel puffed up its throat sac and was about to discharge electricity again according to Qi Shu's command, its eyes suddenly widened, and its body fell directly to the ground like a kite with a broken string!
This movement immediately made everyone look shocked.
However, there were many elite professional trainers among those present, and they came up with the answer almost instantly.
This Jigglypuff was very lucky and directly triggered the additional effect of the rockslide, causing the Electric Petrel to shrink back!
There were also knowledgeable people in the barrage who explained it to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Suddenly feeling completely powerless, the electric petrel fell to the ground with a painful expression.
To be honest, the damage caused by Jigglypuff's rockfall was not as painful as this fall.
"Be careful, Big Electric Petrel!"
Qishu's anxious voice sounded behind him. Dadian Haiyan was stunned, and the next moment, alarm bells rang in his heart.
It turned out that it was Jigglypuff, under Luo Mu's command, who knew when it appeared in front of him!
Just when Qishu and others thought that Luo Mu was going to go back to his old ways and let Jigglypuff use poison on the Big Electric Petrel, Luo Mu's new instructions were beyond their expectations.
"eager!"
"lucky~"
The immobile Electric Swallow stared blankly at Jigglypuff approaching him. After smiling at him, he slapped him directly. At the same time, he fumbled around his body and took away the magnet that he had carefully hidden in his feathers!
When the audience in Qishu's live broadcast room saw clearly what Jilidan had done, the barrage of comments suddenly exploded.
Damn, why are your little Jigglypuff hands a little dirty?!
After getting the magnet, Jigglypuff looked at this little gadget that made his palms numb, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he threw the magnet out of the field in front of Dayan Haiyan.
Big Electric Swallow & Qishu: ????
Miss Joy, who was standing next to Ye Ci, had her fair skin turned red under the mask.
She suddenly felt that Jigglypuff, who had been with her day and night on the battlefield, was so unfamiliar.
After Jigglypuff retreated a few steps, the ashamed and angry Big Electric Swallow finally regained his ability to move.
The first thing the Electric Petrel did after regaining its mobility was to fly back into the sky, flapping its wings wildly, and sweeping towards the Jigglypuff with a gust of wind mixed with electricity!
Whoohoo!
Seeing that Jigglypuff seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the strong wind, Luo Mu thought for a moment and felt that it was about time. He could not avoid this range attack by becoming smaller, so he said, "Lay an egg!"
Steady your hands first!
It’s the end of the month, time to collect unwanted monthly tickets!
