Chapter 644 One Through Six
"Hold on!"
Upon seeing this, Kurush's pupils contracted to pinpoints, but he quickly regained his composure and calmly gave instructions.
"Boom!"
The Pied Eagle in the sky was shrouded in smoke from the explosion.
When the smoke clears and a faint light appears, it's a sign that the move has ended.
"locking!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Wenchao once again had Nidoking lock onto the opponent.
"Freeze Ray!"
"Pidgeot, use Heat Wave!" Seeing this, Kuros seemed to know that he couldn't avoid this final blow, so he had no choice but to gamble all his hopes on this move!
"Whoo~"
Pidgeot flapped its wings, and a rather scorching heat rushed towards Nidoking.
"Crack!"
Almost everything that the freezing light touched was frozen and torn apart.
It struck the Pidgeot above with undiminished power!
"Boom!"
This time, Pidgeot wasn't as lucky as before; a single Ice Beam knocked it down from the sky.
Clang!
The eagle's body crashed heavily to the ground, and it lost consciousness.
"Come back, Pidgeot. Go, Mega Rhinoceros!"
"Roar!"
A super armored rhinoceros, about three meters tall, appeared in the arena. Although it looked very tall, it was still shorter and smaller than Nidoking.
"earthquake!"
"earthquake!"
Both sides immediately launched the same attack at each other!
"Boom!"
The entire arena shook, and even the protective shield outside the arena trembled a few times, seemingly unable to withstand such an energy collision, but it quickly calmed down.
The collision beneath the earth didn't seem so intense; in just a few breaths, Nidoking's aura overwhelmed the Super Armored Rhinoceros.
A surge of powerful ground-based energy erupted towards the Super Armored Rhinoceros!
"boom!"
The Super Armored Rhinoceros was knocked back dozens of meters.
Looking again, one could see that the Super Armored Rhinoceros was covered in countless cracks and looked utterly wretched, as if its body would be torn to pieces at any moment!
"Water ripples!"
Zhou Wenchao spoke calmly.
His Nidoking was the Pokémon that took the most time and resources to train in the beginning. It was a Pokémon with almost no weaknesses in any aspect, and naturally learned a wide variety of skills.
Water-based energy was squeezed in Nidoking's mouth and then rapidly shot towards the distant Rhyperior!
"boom!"
The water wave exploded on the Super Armored Rhinoceros the moment it made contact with it, and all the water-based energy hit the Super Armored Rhinoceros at once.
"Roar!"
The Super Armored Rhinoceros let out a shrill scream, representing the immense pain it felt at that moment. Just a few seconds later, it collapsed to the ground.
"Go on, Mouthball!"
After recalling the Super Armored Rhino, the opposing Kurush immediately released his ace Pokémon, Mawile.
At least on the surface, that's how it appears. In the match videos that Zhou Wenchao saw, this Mouthball was his trump card.
"Mouthwa, Mega Evolution!"
Kuros revealed the Keystone on his wrist, raised it high, and echoed the Mega Stone hanging in Mawile's hair, bursting out with a burst of seven-colored light!
The light of super-evolution enveloped the area.
Zhou Wenchao narrowed his eyes and looked at the arena. Although Mawile's base stats weren't high, after Mega Evolution, it possessed decent Attack and both Defense stats. Moreover, its ability would change to Huge Power.
Compared to other Pokémon of the same level, very few can withstand a single punch from Mawile; if one could, it would take two.
Unfortunately, Kuros's Maw of Malice is still at the peak of near-Champion level and has not broken through the final barrier.
The giant Mouth Baby appeared in the arena, its huge mouth and messy hair fluttering in the wind, making it look so radiant.
"Mouthwa, use Iron Head!"
"Big Mouth!"
Mega Mawile charged towards Nidoking with a burst of silver-white light emanating from its head, radiating intense Steel-type energy. It was clear that given some more time, it would likely break through to the Champion level.
"Earth Armor!"
To show respect, Zhou Wenchao did not directly attack or intercept it, but instead had Nidoking defend.
The laws of the Earth element swirled around Nidoking, drawing energy from the ground to form an armor that covered his body. After breaking through to the Elite Four level, Nidoking's Earth Armor evolved once again, with the power of laws faintly visible on it.
Its defensive capabilities are several times stronger than before.
"boom!"
The giant Maw of Bass's iron head hit Nidoking squarely in the center.
When Krush saw that Mawile, who had previously been a liability, had only left a shallow dent on Nidoking's armor, he felt like the sky had fallen.
"Flame Jet!"
"Hoohoo!"
"boom!"
Nidoking opened its mouth and a thick jet of flame shot out, hitting Mawile hard!
Maw of Venom took a bath in the flames.
Soon, Mawile was burned by the energy from its flames, reverting from its Mega Evolution form and collapsing to the ground unconscious!
Upon witnessing this scene, Kurush felt utterly despondent.
Who can beat this thing?!
Isn't that cheating?!
Although he was filled with dissatisfaction and resentment, he only hated that his strength was too poor. After all, other people also had Pokémon that had broken through to the Elite Four level, and some had even defeated six opponents at once several times. It was not shameful for him to lose.
Moreover, Zhou Wenchao seems to be even more skilled than the other top-tier players, which makes it even less shameful.
In a few breaths, Kurush seemed to have calmed himself down, and his mind gradually settled down.
"Mouthy, thank you for your hard work, come back now." He recalled Mawy, calmed him down, and then took out another Pokémon.
"Go forth, Lizard King!"
A bright green lizard king appeared in the arena, dragging its large tail.
"locking!"
Zhou Wenchao remained as direct as ever. His method was the most ordinary and direct: once he locked onto the enemy, he would take him down in one move.
"Lizard King, charge! Use Leaf Storm!"
After calming himself down, Kuros had a completely different mindset. He was no longer obsessed with defeating Zhou Wenchao or Nidoking; he just wanted to do his best to see what kind of damage he could inflict on Nidoking.
"Flame Jet!"
Seeing this, Zhou Wenchao showed no mercy and attacked the Lizard King!
With the added benefits of the Forced Ability and Life Orb, Flamethrower's base damage increased by 60%, completely overwhelming Leaf Storm.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion occurred, and countless leaves were ignited and burned fiercely.
In an instant, the scene transformed into a sea of fire!
"boom!"
As the flames swept towards the Lizard King, he used all his strength to barely block the attack.
"Freeze Ray!"
Swish!
An ice pillar shot out from Nidoking's mouth, hurtling towards Sceptile King!
"boom!"
In an instant, the Lizard King was sent flying!
"Come back, Lizard King!" Kurosh recalled the Lizard King. Now he only had one elf left, which meant he was about to be wiped out by a single opponent!
"Go, Röntgen Cat!"
Kuros's sixth Pokémon was an Electric-type Luxray. He hadn't expected Zhou Wenchao to have a Nidoking hidden away, otherwise he would never have brought an Electric-type Pokémon into the arena.
Unsurprisingly, Xeno'jiiva was defeated after only two moves against Nidoking's attacks.
With this, Zhou Wenchao successfully completed a six-game winning streak and advanced to the top 32.
