Chapter 45 Fire Gang, VS Meloko (2)
Xiaozhi opened his jaw in surprise and stammered.
"Is this a Pokémon too?"
Pipa took a closer look and recognized what kind of Pokémon it was, and said.
"Xiao Zhi, the main body of the big car is at the front of the car. That is a Pokémon - Pronglum."
"Plonlum! Why does this name sound familiar..."
As he said that, he took out his cell phone Rotom, and then he knew the other party.
"Plonrum, a multi-cylinder Pokémon, has steel and poison types, and is the evolved form of Pulumb. Plonrum creates energy by detonating gas mixed with toxins and rocks in as many as eight cylinders. It will violently intimidate its opponents with the sound of its exhaust, spit out its tongue from its cylindrical mouth and spray venom."
Xiaozhi looked up and down curiously, then removed the redundant mechanical parts of the vehicle in front of him, recognized the true form of Pronglum, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The power of science is so powerful. It can actually integrate the power of Pokémon into vehicles..."
Meroko also smiled proudly at this time and said.
"Of course, our Tianxing team is not a trivial fight. We are a party that represents justice... And this is not called a big car. This is called a Tianxing team car. The correct name of my car should be Wang Liang. The Four Stars team car. It was modified by another boss, Ordiga, who used his family's design talents. Each Skystar team car is powered by Pokémon: there is a Pronglum in the hood that is responsible for controlling the vehicle. There are two puffs at the back that act as rear wheels.”
"Forget it, it's useless to tell you so much, let's continue the next battle!... By the way, I would like to remind you that the Skystar team's car that has been modified by our Skystar team, Pronglum will not necessarily only maintain the original attributes. and characteristics.”
"What do you mean... please explain clearly!"
But Meroko ignored Xiaozhi's inquiry and ordered.
"Plonlum, use high speed star!"
Not long after talking, the opponent's high-speed star arrived as promised, hitting Pikachu at a loss. Fortunately, Pikachu's speed was far faster than Pronglum, and he easily avoided the opponent's attack by turning around.
Pikachu was safe, but Pronglum's failed attack emitted a burst of red light from his body. At first, no one paid any attention to it.
"Pikachu, use Lightning Flash!"
After receiving the order, Pikachu immediately flew out like a wild horse and appeared on the side of Pronglum, about to launch the final impact... However, he saw that the opponent's eyes followed Pikachu's movement speed, and he really looked at Pikachu beside him.
"What! How did Pronglum keep up with Pikachu's movement speed..."
Just when Pikachu was about to hit the opponent, Pronglum's engine roared, sending out billowing smoke. Suddenly, a piercing scream stung the eardrums of everyone present. Pikachu was also struck by the harsh sound, causing him to cover his ears with both hands, and fell to the ground in pain... Pronglum's body glowed red again.
"Plonlum, use overheat!"
Just after Pronglum stopped the harsh attack, he continued to launch the next attack, and Xiaozhi immediately reminded him.
"Pikachu, run to me quickly and leave Pronglum's side."
Pikachu gradually recovered in the noiseless environment. After hearing Xiaozhi's instructions, he ran away... Suddenly, the opponent's overheating attack was launched, and it chased out like a bomb fuse, followed closely behind. crackling sound. Originally, with Pikachu's movement speed, he could easily dodge the opponent's attack, but strangely, he was overtaken by the overheating attack of Pronglum, who was far slower than him.
With a bang, Pikachu was hit by the opponent's overheating attack, and flames exploded from Pikachu's body. For a moment, Pikachu fell to the ground after being blown away by the flames, motionless...
Xiaozhi shouted worriedly.
"Pikachu!"
Even at this time, there was still a burst of red light from Pronglum's body, and Xiaoqing and Paipa who were present were also puzzled... At this time, Xiaoqing helped them provide an important idea.
"It's strange, why does Pronglum's body emit a burst of red light after every attack, and every time it passes, it's like a speed bonus."
Hearing this, Pipa immediately became enlightened and reminded Xiao Zhidao loudly.
"Xiao Zhi! That's the other person's characteristic..."
"what?"
Xiaozhi also asked in the direction of Pipa, and Pipa continued to tell his guess.
"I mean, the red light emitted by the opponent's Pronglum after each attack, as well as its increasingly faster attack speed, I guess the opponent's characteristic is probably-acceleration."
Xiaozhi asked curiously after hearing Piper's guess.
"What is the function of characteristic acceleration?"
"The end speed of a Pokémon with this characteristic increases by one level each round, so when Pronrum finishes its attack, the red light emitted by its body is the manifestation of its characteristic, but..."
Soon, Pipa stopped his speculation as he spoke, finding it difficult to justify his explanation.
"...However, I remember that Prong Lung Mu's property is just that it will not be harmed by sandstorms, and will not be affected by powder and spore moves. How come it has..."
Just when everyone was in doubt again, Meroko began to reveal the "answer", clapping his hands and saying.
"Not bad, you guys have guessed a lot. Do you still remember the friendly reminder I just gave before the battle? 'The transformed Pronglum will not necessarily only maintain the original attributes and characteristics'. I The characteristic of Prolonglong Wangliang Tianxing Team’s car is acceleration.”
"I see!"
Xiaozhi realized it later and realized it, but after knowing the secret, it was no longer a problem. After Xiaozhi understood the root cause, he was able to deal with it in this way.
"Pikachu, Pikachu... are you okay?"
Pikachu slowly stood up from the ground and shook his head to cheer himself up. Although he was still able to fight, he still suffered a lot of damage.
"You can still fight, right? Pikachu."
Xiaozhi was thinking about Pikachu's injury, and all he heard was that Pikachu...
"Pickup!"
After giving Xiaozhi a firm reply, Xiaozhi felt relieved and their counterattack began.
"Pikachu, use the power grid to control the opponent's ability to move."
"Pickup!"
The electric grid on Pikachu's tail swung out, and Merocco also reacted.
"Plonlum, use overheating one more time!"
This time, both sides activated their skills at about the same speed. In the middle of the field, a power grid and a ball of fire exploded after colliding with each other, emitting bursts of white smoke. This round there was a different situation than before, that is, Pronglum, which has the ability to accelerate, did not emit red light this time.
"That is to say..."
Pipa answered Xiaoqing's question.
"That is to say, Pronglum's acceleration characteristics have been superimposed to the limit, and the speed will no longer continue to increase."
Xiaozhi's goal was achieved. Amidst the shouts of the noisy Tianxing team members, the sky suddenly darkened. It turned out that Xiaozhi took out the Tai Jing Bead from his pocket.
The light of the crystals shined brightly, and Pikachu, wearing the "Crystalline Hat", made a shining appearance. Pikachu's weird crystallization once again shocked everyone.
Meroko also said in surprise.
"Although Pronrum has been modified by the Tianxing Team to use incoherent new attributes and new characteristics, it has lost the Tai Jing Zhi Yi combat mechanism... However, what exactly is your Pikachu's Tai Jing Zhi?"
Xiaoqing and Pipa who were standing aside were already used to it. Xiaozhi didn't know how to answer Meloko's question for a while.
"Actually, I'm not sure. Let's call it 'the hat is too crystalline'."
Melo disagreed and replied.
"Forget it, I don't have the brain capacity to remember my defeated enemy. Pronglum, use Wang Liang's four-star team's unique move - scorching blast!"
The fog was clear and the smoke was billowing. The engine started by Pronglum roared and rumbled. The cylinders of the body accelerated and the operation was overloaded. Its own temperature continued to rise, and fire gradually spewed out from the exhaust pipe.
Off the field, Paipa once again continued his speculation.
"What kind of unique move is this that kills one thousand enemies and damages eight hundred! Won't the flames it spits come back to bite me as a steel type?" I'm afraid this is also the abandonment of the original attributes through transformation. Instead, have a new fire attribute. "
Meroko is still quick to talk.
"That's right, but you didn't realize until now that it's too late. No one has been able to take the damage caused by this scorching burst. Even I can't stop Pulonglum who is already charging. Now you have lost your only chance to beg for mercy."
Xiaozhi said loudly with no fear on his face.
"That's not necessarily true. Pikachu uses one hundred thousand volts."
Pikachu has the blessing of "Hat Crystalization", and has initially mastered the use of this ability. The crystallized hat seems to be on top of Pikachu's head, and the surrounding area is as thick as a tree trunk. Electricity flows out of Pikachu's body like thunder. The lightning is not in the clouds, but in front of your eyes. The unknown danger forced the boys from the Tianxing team who were still shouting to stop shouting and run around with their heads in their hands.
The dim sky was lit up left and right by a golden light and a fiery red light.
"Go! Pikachu!"
"Go! Plonlum!"
The 100,000-volt attack of the crystalline Pikachu came to the fore, and the scorching hot blast attack used by Pronglum came out to clash with each other. For a while, they were locked in a stalemate. Facing the opponent's overwhelming attack with blazing fire, Pikachu used a thunderous attack of 100,000 volts to resist Pronglum's advance.
Comparing the attacks from both sides, Pronglum's engine roared and was full of horsepower. On the other hand, Pikachu still couldn't fully grasp the power of the "hat's too crystallized". The attack of 100,000 volts, which was as strong as opening a floodgate and releasing water, was in the flow. There was a slight bump on the ground, and the staggering huge current attack was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, leaking out from time to time, and hitting the opponent's body.
Pronglum's progress became more and more determined, invading Pikachu's attack range inch by inch, and the sky gradually changed from a state of one yellow and one red, and gradually turned into a fiery red. Seeing Pikachu struggling and continuing to exert strength, Xiaozhi became worried and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu, who was offering a tenacious resistance, gradually became stiff like a crystal that he had transformed into, and his whole body became more and more depressed... Amidst the huge sound of electric current attacking from both sides, and the noisy Tianxing team's boys, Amidst the shouting, the noise heard by both ears gradually became quiet. It was so quiet that only Xiaozhi's voice calling himself slightly could be heard among the thousands of bushes.
In the darkness, Pikachu slowly became able to open his eyes and looked around curiously. In this bright world with only crystals, Pikachu stood up while activating one hundred thousand volts, and in the vast white I walked aimlessly on the road, walking farther and farther, and for a moment I didn't know where I was going.
While walking, in confusion, what he heard was Xiaozhi's voice... Pikachu immediately became energetic, moved his smart ears, and ran in the direction of the sound. The closer he got to Xiaozhi's voice, the more he heard it. It became clearer and clearer, and he ran out using his hands and feet. On a winding path upward, there was an unknown object hidden in the bright sunlight, and Xiaozhi's voice came from this.
Pikachu ran faster and faster, rushing out of the high point on the path and hugging the object. When he got closer, he saw that it was the hat that Xiaozhi usually wore. Pikachu fell from a high place and did a somersault, taking advantage of the situation. The hat was placed on his head... and the moment he landed, his consciousness returned to the crystalline body that was activating one hundred thousand volts during the battle with Pronglum.
Looking around, everything is so transparent, whether it is Xiaozhi and the others present, or the Tianxing team boys surrounding them, and through the 100,000 volt attack, you can clearly see the flames on the opposite side. of Plonlum and Merocco above it. The crystallized state, which was originally very strenuous, now feels so relaxed, with a steady stream of power bursting out from the body, seemingly with ease.
After Pikachu regained consciousness, Xiaozhi immediately felt the changes in Pikachu's body. It was like the arrival of a god of war, and he felt an unprecedented peace of mind.
"Pikachu, have you fully mastered your crystalline power?"
Seeing Pikachu grinning, Xiaozhi immediately understood and returned Pikachu's slight smile.
Their voices could only be heard between each other. Others could only hear the collision of skills on the waves, the roar of Pronglum's engine, the cheers... The scene was a bustle. This huge sound pollution scared away all kinds of birds, animals and wild Pokémon in the woods outside the base. Even the group of wild fire crocodiles hiding in the base and the scalding crocodile came out to watch the fun.
"Okay, let's get going now!"
Meroko, who was standing on the Skystar team's car, was condescending and unaware of the changes that had taken place in Pikachu. He only knew that his Pronglum's scorching rush attack had advanced bit by bit during the wrestling process. Pikachu was just a short distance away, just waiting for the opponent's 100,000-volt attack to be exhausted, thinking that he had a chance to win.
"Hahaha, this is the fate of those of you who underestimated our Tianxing team. Fortunately, someone informed me before that the trio with Pikachu came back to cause trouble. It was true. I will suffer this defeat and learn a long lesson. Bar."
Just when Mello could be convinced that her defeat was certain, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Previously, Pronglum's scorching charging attack could advance little by little, but unexpectedly, she could no longer advance when Pikachu was so close. No, it was like hitting a big mountain and not moving at all.
Not only that, Pronglum even seemed to be moving backwards instead of moving forward, and Merocchi wondered about it.
"how so?"
Only then did she notice the changes in Pikachu. I saw that the hat-shaped crystal on the top of Pikachu's head became increasingly clear and bright. Its light even overshadowed the fiery red of Pronglum and the light ball carried on it. The sky was gradually filled with the bright light emitted by Pikachu. To illuminate.
After seeing Pikachu clearly below, he could see that it was more at ease. The originally shaky 100,000-volt attack began to become stable and the flow rate became larger and larger. With the shouts of Xiaozhi and Pikachu...
"let's go!"
"Pika, pika, p-ka!"
Pikachu showed off his power, and his hundred thousand volt attack became stronger. The powerful attack instantly killed Pronglum and knocked him away. All the machines except Pronglum and Puffling were turned into scrap metal, and Merocco also disappeared from the air. She fell off her "altar". Fortunately, a group of fire crocodiles came forward and worked together to successfully catch her safely. All the younger brothers were stunned and dejected when they saw their boss defeated.
After Pikachu's super crystallization was lifted, the sky became clear again, and everything returned to calm. Xiaozhi happily approached Pikachu to check on its safety. I saw that this time I had successfully mastered Tai Jinghua. Apart from excessive energy consumption and being a little weak, there was nothing unusual about my body.
Xiaoqing and Pipa also came over and cheered for Xiaozhi's victory over a Skystar team boss. Pipa shouted loudly when he saw the other Skystar team members who were like eggplants beaten by frost.
"Plonlum loses the ability to fight and Pikachu wins, so the winner of this game is Ash!"
At this point, this unfair Pokémon battle finally came to an end.
