"This is really a bit troublesome..." After seeing his Cross-bat being hit by the black gaze, Aju's face tightened and a drop of cold sweat flowed down the side of his cheek.
He didn't know whether Kikuko saw through his tactics or just happened to crack them, but the current situation was indeed very unfavorable for him.
According to the tactics he had conceived at the beginning, he used the speed and function of the Crossbat and the strange light to disrupt Gengar at the beginning, making it fall into a state of confusion, and then replaced the Pokémon with Mormoth that could use psychic-attribute moves. However, now, this tactic has been cracked by Kikuko, and it was just a simple black look!
"Then we can only let Xbat continue..." Aju clenched his fists. This was his third time to participate in the King Challenge. If he still couldn't become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region this year, he would only have one way left...
"X-bat, Air Blade!" Through Gengar's previous performance, Aju knew that Gengar was not slow and it would be difficult to get close to him, so Aju chose to use long-range attacks as cover and then look for opportunities to get close!
"X--!" The flying attribute energy was activated, and the wings of the X-bat moved together. Rapidly spinning air blades shot out, cutting through the air, and attacked Gengar with a shrill sound. There were so many of them, more than twenty!
"Geng Gui, Wave of Evil!" However, facing numerous air blades, Kikuko calmly stomped the cane in her hand and issued the order lightly.
"Geng————!" Gengar laughed strangely, and the evil energy was stimulated. Brown energy condensed in front of Gengar. As Gengar spread out his hands, violent waves suddenly spread!
"boom----!"
The energy instantly spread throughout the entire arena, and the entire battlefield seemed to solidify for a moment. The next moment, a terrifying airflow swept across the arena, and the air blades in the air completely dissipated. Visible energy ripples spread outward from Gengar as the center and impacted the body of the Xbat!
The X-bat didn't even make a scream before being swept away by the violent impact, flew out of the battlefield and crashed into the audience seats. At the moment of impact, a transparent energy shield appeared, blocking the X-bat inside, but the transparent energy shield kept rippling, as if it would break at any time.
The audience behind the energy shield were not panicked, as if they had experienced this situation many times. They even cheered loudly and looked at the cross-bat in front of them excitedly.
After a moment, the horrific impact on the battlefield subsided. The Crossbat clung to the energy shield and slid to the ground, losing consciousness, and was obviously unable to continue fighting!
"X-Bat has lost its ability to fight, and Gengar wins!" The referee immediately announced the results of the battle. The first round of the competition ended in this way. Aju's X-Bat didn't even have the ability to resist and was defeated by Gengar with ease.
"How... Damn it..." Aji gritted his teeth, looking at the fallen Cross-bat, then turned back to look at Kikuko who was calm and composed. He found that he was taking things for granted. As the most senior of the Four Heavenly Kings, Kikuko's strength was definitely more than just the superficial Four Heavenly Kings.
This time... I'm afraid I'll fail again...
In front of the TV, the boy was also shocked by the strength displayed by Gengar, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses. It was different from the games in his previous life. In the games in his previous life, battles were expressed by numbers, and even through certain tactics, the weak could defeat the strong. After all, the game was turn-based. As long as the characteristics of various Pokémon and the effects of moves were used reasonably, it was even possible for a level one Pokémon to defeat a level one hundred Pokémon.
But the reality is different... The reality does not give trainers too much room for thinking, and the strength gap of Pokémon cannot be made up by simple tactics. Many tactics in the game are simply impossible to achieve in reality!
Just like when Xbat used the strange light before, but Gengar dodged it easily.
The strength of Pokémon and the strength of the trainer are both crucial. If you want to train a Pokémon to level 100 and then push forward like in the game, it is totally impossible in the real world.
Because... none of this is data!
"It seems like... Mr. Aju should... have no chance..." The young man looked at Aju who had taken back the Cross-bat, slowly exhaled, and said with a little regret.
However, this was also within the boy's expectations. He had watched the animated version of Pokémon before, and Aju in the original Pokémon was still a gym leader. In the game, he was not one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region, but one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Chengdu region.
From this point of view, after the original arc, Aju should have left the Kanto region and went to the Chengdu region to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, and eventually became the Four Heavenly Kings of the Chengdu region.
The result was just as the boy expected. The whole battle could be said to be a crushing defeat. Ajimoto could hardly organize any effective resistance and was defeated by Kikuko with a crushing blow. All Kikuko paid for was the fate of a Gengar.
"Although Mr. Aju lost to Master Kikuko, Mr. Aju's strength should not be underestimated. His strength has indeed reached the King level. All elves have the strength of the King level. It's a pity that he met Master Kikuko, who is an extraordinary existence among the Kings." After the King Challenge, the boy turned off the TV and lay on his bed. The previous battle seemed to be still vivid in his mind.
"Heavenly King level… Four Heavenly Kings…" The young man raised his right hand slightly, spread his five fingers, and blocked out the light, feeling somewhat melancholy, "I don't know… if I can become one of the Four Heavenly Kings like them in the future."
"No!" The young man suddenly clenched his five fingers tightly, as if he wanted to hold something in his hands, and shouted loudly, "I don't want to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings, I want to be a champion, or even the strongest legend in the world!"
"Xiaozhi! Why aren't you sleeping yet? Don't you have to set off tomorrow?!" The boy's voice seemed to be heard by the woman downstairs.
"Got it, go to sleep now!" The boy woke up with a start, responded and turned off the light, not thinking about anything else. He was not even a trainer now, let alone becoming a champion...
"Tomorrow is the day of departure... Should I choose the Big Three... or follow my original destiny and choose Pikachu? Pikachu seems to be quite good... After all... Everyone calls him Pikachu..." The boy's thoughts became increasingly dim, and he finally fell asleep.
In the dream, the boy seemed to see himself reaching the peak that no one had ever reached, becoming the strongest trainer in the world, and being admired by everyone.
"The world... the strongest..." the boy murmured in his dream...
