Chapter 165 Attributes Determined by the Spinning Top
Three hours later.
"Come back, my goat mount."
He moved very quickly.
On the way to the gym, I stopped by a pawn shop and retrieved the Pokémon I had caught in the reserve.
To be honest, that White Stone Nature Reserve is really corrupt.
Very few Pokémon are worth more than a million...
As for Houndoom, he didn't sell it here.
The main problem was that they couldn't agree on the price.
Only 130?
Just kidding, a dog in the same ecological niche, comparable to a speed dog, could sell for 500-800 million.
Even the worst Black Ghoul is still close to 200 million, right?
I pulled myself back to reality.
The building in front of us, like an ice coffin, bears the plaque of the League Gym.
This is the Ice-type Gym in Lan City's Bell City.
"Are you here to take on a challenge?"
"Yes, please register me..."
The leveling process was quite rapid, and his battle was scheduled for 8 PM the following day.
Ice-type gyms are also quite unusual.
Other dojos are open during the day and close before 6 p.m.
This is the first time I've ever encountered a dojo that opens at night.
Ye Kai found a nearby Pokémon Center and settled in.
The room was quite nice this time.
It's a whopping 220 square meters, so it seems like this Ice-type gym is a bit off the beaten path.
The more crowded and less comfortable the rooms are at a Pokémon Center near a gym, the more popular it is and the more challengers there are!
vice versa.
As usual, let's wreak havoc on the refrigerator first...
8 p.m. the following day.
"These are the rules of this dojo."
The combatants then took out a spinning top and an iron plate.
The iron plate is evenly distributed with 18 colors, representing all attributes.
"After the top stops spinning, the handle will tilt in the direction of one of the 18 attributes, and you will then have to battle a Pokémon of that attribute..."
All that fancy stuff.
He didn't care, since he had made ample preparations before coming.
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it with earth!
Grab the top by its handle, and then twist it between your middle finger and thumb.
The top spun rapidly on the smooth iron disc and soon came to a stop.
Finally, the rod tipped towards the gray color representing steel.
He will face a Steel-type and Ice-type Pokémon!
"Go, Sandslash King!"
"The Pangolin (subspecies) has steel needles covered in ice. Being pierced by it will cause a deep wound and frostbite."
Alola Sandslash is indeed an Ice/Steel hybrid.
"Dumbshell Beast!"
This time, Ye Kai's veteran Crobat and Flame Queen Lizard are both over level 45.
Only a completely new lineup can be used.
The Slowpoke immediately pounded its own belly – an old trick of itss.
"Sword Dance!"
The Pangolin was also strengthening itself, rubbing its sharp claws.
"Arm-shell weapon!"
"Use an ice pick!"
The ice pick technique is interesting, but it's nothing special.
Slowbro isn't a Dragon-type Pokémon, and besides...
It triggered a rapid attack, and the snail-shaped shell propelled its arm high into the air, somersaulting directly to the Mountain King.
A clam crashed down on its head!
"boom!!"
The Pangolin actually withstood the attack and wasn't seriously injured.
This impact clearly caused the ground to cave in!
It is a subspecies of Sandslash, possessing the steel attribute.
The poison energy was completely disintegrated and scattered.
This attack was purely a miracle of sheer force, and of course it was withstood.
It seems he hasn't fought in a dojo for too long, and Ye Kai has started to become careless in this area.
These opponents are perfect for practicing against!
Pangolin used the moisture in the air to condense sharp ice spikes that pierced the Slowbro directly, blasting it away.
The pressure applied during scraping.
The Dumbshell Beast lifted the conch shell and smashed the ice spike directly.
"Switch to large-character burst fire!"
"Ya-dong!!"
It lifted the conch shell and fired a fireball at high speed.
This triggered a quick attack, getting caught in the opponent's third ice spike launch!
The strategy for an Ice-type Sandslash is simply to use Swords Dance to boost its Attack, then use Ice Spikes to fire continuously, and it's highly likely that it's equipped with Cheap Dice!
However, fire counters ice, so the Sandslash King has no chance.
The fireball rapidly expanded in the air, then transformed into a giant, X-shaped hand, completely blocking all its escape routes.
The Great Flame Burst has many uses, and this variation is clearly something learned from the Shell and the Flame Queen Lizard.
After being battered by the high temperature, the Pangolin collapsed, its body emitting smoke...
Next up is the second game.
Another female trainer walked over.
"Please keep spinning the top, this time do it twice."
Ye Kai did as instructed.
The spinning top stopped twice, once on an ice-type and once on a flying-type.
It seems that this time, I will be battling against an opponent that is purely Ice-type and has both Ice and Flying attributes.
Such a battle requires defeating 6 Pokémon.
Once you've won all the battles, you can challenge the Gym Leader.
"Go, messenger bird!"
"Mul!"
This messenger bird, with its red and white plumage, looks just like Santa Claus.
He was also carrying a cloth bag, which looked like it contained gifts.
"Highly poisonous!"
Regardless of the consequences, let's apply the poison first!
The female trainer was also slightly taken aback, seemingly a little disappointed.
The messenger bird stared intently at Mud, but nothing happened.
"Flame Jet!"
Upon receiving the command, Muk coalesced and shot a burst of flame from its mouth, engulfing the messenger bird.
This defeated the messenger bird.
"Go, Icefield Bear!"
"oh oh!!"
"Bedo!!"
Mud suddenly collapsed and was on the verge of death, seeing stars.
"..."
It seems the messenger bird just now used Destiny Bond; it really is hard to defend against!
Supervillain!
Don't worry, he has other spirits.
"Use close combat!"
"Bunker!"
After a series of exchanges, the Icefield Bear was quickly brought to the brink of death.
This ice bear, in its pursuit of surprise, probably carried a Life Orb as well.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have such power in close combat.
It's a pity they chose the wrong opponent!
Toxapex has resistance to Fighting and Ice types.
"Please continue spinning the top."
Ye Kai spun the top as usual, and this time the result was Superpower, Ice, and Grass.
"Go forth, Blizzard King!"
"Yo-ho!!"
Supervillain!
Ye Kai decided to continue sending out Supervillains.
It started snowing on the ground.
"Highly poisonous!"
"Freezing Beam!"
Both sides landed their attacks, since neither side was particularly fast.
The scraping technique didn't harm Supervillain much, but it did freeze him.
Blizzard King also fell into a state of severe poisoning.
"Keep using the Freeze Beam!"
Supervillain is frozen in place and unable to attack...
careless...
In the real world, freezing either doesn't work.
But once you get caught in it, the colder it gets, the worse it gets!
Ultimately, this will lead to a complete inability to act!
Unless the ice is broken immediately!
"Come back."
He decisively recalled Supervillain.
"Earth King!"
This was the Earth King's first battle, and Ye Kai had already taught it its moves.
"Flame Jet!"
He figured it out: when fighting an Ice-type Gym, Fire-type moves are key!
The two sides quickly engaged in a tug-of-war.
Even if the opponent doesn't clash with the Earth King, they're forced to do so, or they'll have no choice but to use their protective abilities.
Who told you to be poisoned?
Twenty seconds passed quickly, and Blizzard King was slowly dragged down to his death.
Take advantage of the moment when your opponent switches their Pokémon.
"Sunny day!"
Let's get the weather back on track first!
"Gladiator!"
"Keep using the big fireballs!"
The Earth King was about to unleash a fireball when Glaceon's eyes flashed sharply, and it dodged the attack with a Flame Burst that missed its mark entirely.
It's a fighting-style ability to see through!
In this world, seeing through is manifested in perfectly dodging the opponent's attacks.
In some ways, it's even better than protection.
Unfortunately, this technique is also affected by level restrictions.
"eager!"
"Continue with the big, explosive flames!"
Glaceon attempts to quickly steal the item carried by the Earth King.
It doesn't fall for that trick.
Both elves appeared to be male, which gave the Earth King goosebumps.
This time, the power of the giant fireball was even greater!
Besides, it only has the black sludge Ye Kai gave it. Do you want it?
Here you go!
"Boom!"
This massive burst of fire under a clear sky was quite powerful, instantly melting the surrounding ice...
The Glaceon was teetering on the edge and was also burned.
It snatched the black sludge, and shortly after touching it, it was also poisoned!
"Keep going, use jet flamethrower!"
Ice Eevee quickly collapsed.
The Earth King took the opportunity to collect the black sludge.
"Please, Mr. Mime!"
This elf is both common and rare.
It is common because of the Mr. Mime, which is often used in various units and mechanisms of the League.
But fewer ordinary people and trainers still use this thing.
The subspecies of Mr. Mime is an Ice-type with Psychic-type abilities.
"Mr. Mime (subspecies), skilled in tap dancing. It can create an ice floor using cold air and kick it up as a barrier to protect itself."
It's like it has ADHD, constantly dancing.
The soles of my feet made a scraping and colliding sound.
"Big characters burst into flames!"
Taking advantage of the moment it appeared, Ye Kai immediately issued the command.
The fireball rapidly expanded, transforming into a large "X" shape that covered it!
