Chapter 249: The Blazing Fire of "Charged Flame Attack" vs. Mimoli (3)
Looking at the Snow Moth recovering its strength, Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing were unwilling to just stand there and watch, and gave orders almost at the same time.
"Cryolophosaurus, use "Freezing Beam"! "
"Tan-sama, use Spark!"
The two Pokémon charged their powers together, then simultaneously released two skill attacks, one ice and one fire.
The snow moth was full of energy at this moment, and Mimoli immediately gave the order.
"Edelweiss, use "Storm" again!"
The snow moth flapped its wings, sweeping up the strong wind again, blowing it violently towards the battlefield on the opposite side. This time, the "Storm" attack was even more powerful. The storm that swept in was mixed with the snow on the ground, and the storm mixed with the snow rushed in like a blizzard.
The Coldback Dragon and the Charcoal Servant braved the bitter cold wind and snow. The attack skills they had released earlier were also hit by the "Storm" skill of the Snow Moth at this moment, and were blown away into the air in twists and turns.
Tan Xiaoshi's "Spark" skill was not very powerful. After facing the opponent's "Storm" skill, it was like a cigarette butt with the flame extinguished. Xiaoqing couldn't believe it and muttered to herself.
"How could this happen! Tan-sama's "Spark" skill was just... Looks like Tan-sama has to use a more powerful skill attack!"
The Coldspine Dragon next to it was also overwhelmed. The "Freezing Beam" it released was bent by the storm and flew into the air. Xiaozhi encouraged the Coldspine Dragon.
"Come on, Coldback Dragon, don't give up... Use all your strength to aim the "Freezing Beam" directly at your opponent's throat!"
"Pika pika!"
Listening to the encouragement from his companions, the Cold-Spine Dragon's eyes became sharp, and after putting all his strength into it, the Cold-Spine Dragon finally controlled the curved "freezing beam" and shot it out straight like an arrow.
At the same time, different changes also occurred in Tan Xiaoshi's body. When the flame on his head was about to be blown out by the "storm", Tan Xiaoshi kept stomping his feet on the ground to cheer himself up and increase his fighting spirit...
"Push!"
The Coldback Dragon took on the damage of the "Storm" attack and poured all its strength into its "Freezing Beam" attack, which pierced through the wind and snow and hit the Snow Moth. The Snow Moth, which was hurt by the attack, trembled and a gap appeared. Then the Snow Moth endured the pain and continued to launch its "Storm" skill attack.
In this tiny gap, the little charcoal servant underwent a different transformation. Sparks kept coming out from under his feet as he stomped on the ground. The flames on his head were also growing vigorously. Then his whole body was surrounded by the flames...
Just as the snow moth resumed its "Storm" skill attack release, the flames of the Tan Shi still did not decrease. After the flames covered his entire body, the Tan Shi rushed towards the snow moth in front of him.
"That's..., "Charge Flame Attack"! Xiaoqing, your tan-shi has learned a new fire skill!"
Xiaozhi, who recognized this move, happily told Xiaoqing beside him, but found that Xiaoqing was squatting on the spot in fear, covering his head with his hands, muttering something.
"Xiaoqing? What's wrong with you, Xiaoqing..."
Xiaozhi's worried questioning voice became smaller and smaller after it reached Xiaoqing's ears. Under the influence of Tan Xiaoshi's new skill "Charged Flame Attack", the strange scene of "Fire Shrine" was staged again. Before the young Xiaoqing was about to faint, in a trance, she vaguely saw the big cauldron being lifted up from the inside out, emitting a scorching high temperature. Even the big cauldron was illuminated by the fire, and the shadow revealed was like a fish swimming inside... This scene lingered in Xiaoqing's mind.
"...Xiaoqing, cheer up, Xiaoqing!"
As Xiaoqing was wandering, she heard Xiaozhi's voice calling her more and more clearly... Gradually, Xiaoqing's consciousness finally returned to the present and she woke up.
"What...what's wrong, Xiaozhi?"
Xiaozhi asked back in confusion.
"What's wrong with you, Xiaoqing? You suddenly squatted down and didn't respond. I've been calling you for a while!"
"Oh, by the way! We are still fighting with Miss Mimoli. How is the situation developing..."
Xiaoqing came to her senses and turned her attention back to the battle. She saw Tan Shi was activating the "Charged Flame Attack" skill and moving forward towards the snow moth... When the snow moth was exhausted and the "Storm" skill stopped, and when Tan Shi's attack was about to fall on the snow moth, she heard Mimoli give an order.
"Magic Masked Cat, use "Pollen Ball" quickly!"
The magical masked cat jumped up in front of the advancing Tanba, protected the snow moth behind itself, and gathered the raised pollen into a blanket and threw it in front of Tanba. In an instant, the "pollen ball" attack exploded in front of Tanba, just when the opponent thought that his attack was effective.
The scattered, yellow powder filled the place and was instantly ignited again. From the burning pollen, the flame-covered body of Tan Xiaoshi jumped high and violently slammed into the body of Magic Masked Cat.
"Great, the effect is outstanding! You are worthy of being Xiaoqing's charcoal servant..."
Just as Xiaozhi was praising him and turned to look at Xiaoqing, he found that Xiaoqing was still cowering. It seemed that since Tane-sama learned new fire skills and could release even more raging fires, Xiaoqing had returned to being afraid of Fire Pokémon as before.
"Xiaoqing, you..."
Before Xiaozhi could finish his words, he heard the Magical Masked Meowth roar.
"Mask!"
Then he landed steadily on the ground. Looking at his injuries, it turned out that Tan-sama's powerful "Charged Flame Attack" attack, which was originally intended to restrain Magic Masked Cat's fire skill, had a poor effect on him after hitting the opponent solidly.
When the puzzled Xiaozhi looked at the Magic Masked Meow again, he found that the aura emitted from its body was different from before, and it seemed to have changed its attributes. Mimoli saw Xiaozhi's discovery and explained to him.
"Xiaozhi, you have good insight. It is true that Magic Masked Cat has changed its own attributes. Under the influence of its "Changeable" characteristic, its own attributes can be changed to the same attributes as the moves it uses. It only takes effect once each time it appears in battle..."
Xiaozhi realized it later and recalled when Magical Masked Cat activated its characteristic effect... and said after suddenly remembering it.
"That's right! It was at that time... In order to save the snow moth from the "bite" attack of the cold spine dragon, the "sneak attack" was used!"
Mimoli nodded in response.
"Yes, it was at that time that the aura of Magical Masked Meowth changed. For Pokémon with two attributes, when "Change Freedom" is triggered, it becomes only one attribute. In other words, Magical Masked Meowth has changed from the dual attributes of Grass and Darkness to a single attribute of Darkness. The effect of the attribute conversion lasts until it leaves the field, but it only takes effect once in battle."
According to Mimori's narration, it was revealed why Magic Masked Cat failed to deliver an effective blow when facing the attack of "Charged Flame Attack".
Mimori ordered as the battle continued.
"Edelweiss, use the "Avalanche" attack on Tan-sama!"
Watching the "avalanche" pouring down over the top of Tan's head, there was no response from Xiaoqing for a long time. When Tan looked at Xiaoqing, he found that Xiaoqing was standing there motionless, just like before when he was afraid of Fire Pokémon.
"Tantan..."
Seeing that Tan-sama was about to be buried alive by the "avalanche", the Coldback Dragon next to it immediately came in front of it, and at the same time heard Xiaozhi's voice giving orders.
"Coldspine Dragon, use Dragon Wave!"
He wasn't completely sure, but facing the powerful and continuous "Avalanche" skill of Edelweiss, Xiaozhi had no choice but to take a risk and let Coldspine use the attack that he had just learned and was not yet proficient in.
A powerful deep purple aura boiled inside the Cold-Spine Dragon's body. After it gathered in its mouth, it opened its mouth wide and gushed out the surging power... The Cold-Spine Dragon still couldn't control the dragon-shaped energy fluctuations that had just been released, but with its unremitting efforts, the outcome was good. At least it hit the target and twisted and turned to meet the "Avalanche" skill falling from the sky.
The snow moth flapped its wings and flew into the air, watching the "Avalanche" skill that it had released falling. In the white snow, a hint of deep purple light actually shone through... Just as the snow moth was puzzled and staring blankly at the changes in its "Avalanche", it heard Mimoli's voice of reminder.
"Be careful, snow moth! Get out of the way..."
Before Mimoli finished her words, the center area of the "avalanche" began to become loose and melted, and the deep purple light became brighter and clearer. The "avalanche" suddenly collapsed and revealed a gap, and the energy fluctuations soared into the sky... The snow moth was unable to avoid it and was surrounded by it.
As a small amount of snow turned into snow water and fell from the sky, the "Dragon Wave" also whistled and disappeared in the air. Then the white body of the snow moth was burned and emitted black smoke. It fell from the sky and fell heavily to the ground. Its eyes became like "mosquito coils" and it lost its ability to fight.
Here, Papa announced the course of the battle.
"Edelweiss has lost its ability to fight. Teacher Mimori still has one Pokémon left to fight. Let's continue the battle!"
A red light flashed, and Mimoli took back the Snow Moth that had lost its ability to fight. After saying thank you, she put away the Poké Ball and then praised Xiaozhi.
"Not bad, Xiaozhi! Although the release of the "Dragon Wave" mastered by the Coldspine Dragon seems a bit strange, it does not hinder the huge energy contained in its body. If it practices well in the future, it will definitely become the strongest member of the team in time!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Miss Mimoli, but this alone is far from enough..."
Xiaozhi was only halfway through his humble words when Mimoli continued.
"But unfortunately... now is not the time. Magic Masked Cat, use "Thousand Changes"! "
At some point, several bouquets of flowers were already floating on the field, around the Cold-Spine Dragon and the Tan Shi. These tampered bouquets were used by Magic Masked Cat with invisible threads to aim at the Cold-Spine Dragon and the others.
"Now, go, Magical Mask-nyan!"
At Mimoli's command, the floating bouquets began to attack them, and Xiaozhi hurriedly reminded them.
"Get out of the way, Coldback Dragon, Tan-sama!"
In a flash, the two Pokémon used their not-so-agile skills to clumsily dodge the bouquets of flowers that kept flying back and forth. Rhodon and Taneka turned their backs to their companions and cooperated to avoid Meowth's "Thousand Changes" attack as much as possible.
Through their unremitting efforts, many bouquets of flowers have missed their attacks and exploded after hitting the ground, but a few bouquets of flowers still pose a threat to them.
There are still... five bundles left, four bundles, three..., beads of sweat the size of beans slid down their foreheads,... two, one.
There was only one bunch of "Thousand Flowers" left to attack, and just when the Cold-Backed Dragons thought they could dodge all the attacks without getting hurt, the last bunch of flowers came towards Tan Xiaoshi. However, Tan Xiaoshi made a mistake, and after being tripped by the uneven ground when he jumped, he fell heavily to the ground.
"Tan Tan!"
Just as Tan Xiaoshi looked up and saw the last bouquet of flowers about to attack him, at the critical moment, the figure of the Cold-Backed Dragon appeared in front of him.
With a "bang", the bouquet exploded after hitting the body of the Liangji Dragon. Black smoke rose along with the explosion, and the Liangji Dragon's body fell to the ground.
"Pika! Dongga!"
"Cold-backed dragon..."
With the shouts of Xiaozhi and the others, Xiaoqing finally came to herself from the memories and the scene of the raging fire.
"what happened……"
The body of the fallen Liangjilong was charred, its eyes looked like mosquito coils, and it had lost its ability to fight.
Piper said, presiding.
"Ash's Coolspine has lost its ability to fight. Both teams in the doubles have one Pokémon left to fight. The battle continues!"
Looking at Xiaozhi beside him, Pikachu and the others rushed to the battle field. After arriving next to Chilonius, Xiaozhi gently held it in his arms. The Chilonius in his arms weakly opened his eyes and saw Xiaozhi and the others who were worried.
"Coldback Dragon, you did a great job! The final battle will be left to Xiaoqing and Tan Xiaoshi, just take a good rest!"
Liangji Long then looked at Tan Xiaoshi who was looking apologetic. Tan Xiaoshi was grateful to Liangji Long for sacrificing himself to protect him, and Liangji Long did not forget to cheer him up.
“Puff…, puff, boom!”
Xiaozhi and his friends left the venue carrying the Coldback Dragon, and after passing by Xiaoqing who also looked apologetic, they encouraged Xiaoqing.
"Xiaoqing, I'll leave the rest to you! Don't be afraid of the dangers of the battle or the raging fire, just enjoy the rest of the Pokémon battle!"
Xiaozhi's encouragement undoubtedly opened up Xiaoqing's Ren and Du meridians.
"Yes! Whether it was the fire in the "Fire Shrine" when I was young, or the raging fire when Tan-sama had just learned "Charge Flame Attack", or other fire-type Pokémon... they didn't really hurt me, so why should I be afraid!"
Xiaoqing's eyes were firm. She looked at Tan Xiaoshi, who was standing alone on the field and turned to look at her for shelter. Then her words became firm and confident.
"Tan-san, we have to win the next battle beautifully together with Xiaozhi and Coldspine!"
