Chapter 215 Swamp Leap Fish vs. Rumble Rock
Chapter 215 Swamp Leap Fish vs. Rumble Rock
The moment he saw Swampert, Zhang Heng frowned again. The biggest reason why he captured Alola Rhydon was because of its attributes. The rock type suits his specialization, and the electric type can be used to deal with Water Pokémon that restrain the rock type. However, Swampert has both water and ground attributes. Ground types are immune to electric-type moves, which makes all of Rhydon's electric-type moves invalid.
Moreover, Marshjump, which has the ground system, is immune to the damage of sandstorms. The sandstorm that has just been extended by Banguilas carrying Sandstone is of no use except to enhance the special defense of Rhydon. But Marshjump is a physical attacker!
"Swampjumper, preemptive strike, use Earthquake!"
Swampert and Rhydon are both slow Pokémon, with speed race stats of 50 and 45 respectively, and both move very slowly, so Chen Xi first let Swampert use an aoe ground-type ultimate to attack. After all, the rock and electric-type Alola Rhydon is four times weak to ground, which is a switch compared to the previous game.
In a moment, the ground in the field shook. The earthquake caused by the Swampert, whose racial value was more than 200 lower than that of Bangilas, was only slightly less powerful than that of Bangilas.
"Rumble Rock, electromagnetic levitation!"
Zhang Heng hurriedly asked Rhydon to use electromagnetic levitation to float up to avoid the earthquake. Although electric moves were ineffective against Swampert, they could still be used on himself.
Rumble Rock moved upon hearing the command. The electrical energy in its body surged and gathered at its feet. The electric current formed a magnetic field, which repelled the underground magnetic field, lifting Rumble Rock off the ground and successfully avoiding the earthquake.
"Swampfish, use Surf!" Chen Xi ordered again.
Seeing the opposite Rhydon using electromagnetic levitation to float up, Chen Xi knew that the quadruple restraint on the opponent's ground-type moves was useless in the short term, so he turned around and used a double restraint on Rhydon's water-type moves. Although Swampert's special attack racial value was only 2 points, Chen Xi didn't want just the damage of Surf...
The water energy was like a surging torrent, constantly gathering and condensing under the body of the Swamp Leaping Fish. In the blink of an eye, this powerful water energy actually formed a huge wave as high as two or three meters!
The wave carried unparalleled power and momentum, as if it was going to swallow up all obstacles that blocked its way. The Swamp Leap Fish stood firmly on the crest of the wave, its body enveloped by a layer of blue light, looking majestic.
"Take it down, Rhydon, ultimate impact!"
Zhang Heng was at his wit's end. Swampert's attributes were too superior. The combination of water and ground gave it only one weakness, which was the Grass type. It even had four resistances. Rhydon really didn't have any skills that could be used to defeat it. Its Electric type was immune, and its Rock type was resisted. There were few powerful skills outside of its type. Apart from self-destruction and big bang, the most powerful physical attack skill was Ultimate Impact.
The general energy was like a layer of glowing shield, which instantly covered the huge and solid body of Longlongyan.
In a moment, accompanied by a low roar, the Rumble Rock, which was strengthened by the general energy, was like a meteor shining with white light, rushing towards the Swamp Leap Fish at a terrifying speed. It drew a brilliant track in the air, and wherever it passed, the air was significantly distorted due to the huge impact force.
The Swampert was brought to a place not far from Rhyo Rock by Surfing. Originally, Chen Xi wanted to use Surfing to bring the Swampert close to Rhyo Rock so that he could use physical attack moves. However, he failed to achieve his goal and lost the opportunity, as Zhang Heng seized the opportunity.
"Swamp Leaper, hold on!"
Swampert looked at Rhydon rushing towards it and it could no longer dodge due to its slow speed. Chen Xi did not expect Zhang Heng to directly use such a big move with huge side effects. Swampert could only use its defense to block Rhydon's ultimate attack.
The Rumble Rock that rushed towards the Swamp Leap Fish with terrifying force was firmly blocked by a layer of light green protective barrier. The impact force it emitted stirred up sandstorms and dust in the surrounding area.
After the dust settled, the figures of the two Pokémon appeared in everyone's sight. The white light of Rhydon's Ultimate Impact and the barrier around Swampert dissipated, and the two Pokémon were unharmed.
However, Rhydon, who was floating in the air, was stiff all over and couldn't move. It was the side effect of the ultimate impact that caused the stiffness effect.
"The fish leaps from the swamp, and the water breaks!"
The water energy condensed into a torrent, surrounding the Swampert tightly. The Swampert faced the Rumbling Rock right in front of it, unleashed Water Split, and with a powerful headbutt, knocked it several meters away.
Rhydon, who was blown away by the water flow, regained control of his body, but he had been hit by two water-based moves with double restraint. Now Rhydon was at the end of his strength. Zhang Heng thought for a moment and made up his mind.
"Rumble Rock, charge at Swamp Jumper again!"
Rhydon endured the severe pain in his body and rushed towards Swampert once again. In front of the gym leader-level Pokémon, the distance of several meters was so short that even a slow Pokémon like Rhydon could rush over in the blink of an eye.
Chen Xi realized what Zhang Heng wanted to do and immediately used the power of wave guidance to let the Swamp Leap Fish dig a hole.
Reality is not a game. In the game, Chen Xi will let Swampert use Hold again. After all, Swampert has just used Water Flow Break once and has passed a round. However, the power of the ultimate attack just now was too great. Using Hold to block it without any damage consumed too much energy of Swampert. Using Hold again in a short time may not be able to block that move...
"Rumble Rock, Big Bang!!!"
The moment Rhydon approached the Swampert, Zhang Heng ordered Rhydon to use the most powerful general skill - Big Explosion!
Suddenly, a blinding white light shot out from Rhydon, followed by a huge explosion, which stirred up dust and paused the sandstorm. Zhang Heng, Chen Xi and the referee in the venue closed their eyes, as did Lin Anlan and the Pokémon in the audience.
Only Chen Xi and Lucario, who possessed the power of waves, used the waves to detect the results on the field.
The dust settled and the result on the field came out. Rhydon fell to the ground unconscious, and Swampert stood on the field, but his legs were seriously injured. The hole digging technique just now was successful, but Swampert did not get in completely, and his legs were still affected by the explosion.
"Rhydon loses his ability to fight, and Swampert wins!"
