Chapter 76: Weather Robbery
The effect of "Follow the Wind" was successfully applied, and air currents surged across the field.
However, Luo Yan's offensive was not over; his real killing move was hidden behind the Shadow Ball.
"Now! Ievils, use Cross Lightning!"
A dazzling golden lightning bolt instantly crackled around Ibu!
It seized the moment when the Swablu was unsteady after being hit by the Shadow Ball and had not yet fully accelerated due to the tailwind. A swift bolt of electricity, like a golden whip, tore through the air and struck the Swablu with astonishing accuracy as it steadied itself!
Sizzle—Bang!
Electric-type moves are extremely effective against Flying-type Swaboon.
A powerful electric current pierced through the blue cotton bird's body. It let out a shrill scream, some of its feathers were charred black, wisps of blue smoke rose from its feathers, and it trembled violently in the air, almost falling directly to the ground.
The electric shock caused considerable damage, but the feathers had already swept over everything.
Although the blue cotton bird barely managed to stay upright and didn't collapse immediately, it was already severely injured. However, Shen Yanqiu's expression remained unchanged.
A beam of red light shot out from the Poké Ball she had prepared. "Come back, Swabelle!"
The red light precisely enveloped the swaying Swaboon, bringing it back, while she simultaneously threw a second Poké Ball with her other hand.
"I'm counting on you now, Mohaiba! [Rain Dance]!"
A flash of white light appeared, and a small blue Pokémon appeared on the field.
As soon as he appeared, he looked up at the sky and spewed out a dense stream of water-based energy that shot straight into the air.
[It's actually a rainmaking ritual!!]
The commentator's exclamation came from afar, leaving many viewers stunned.
They weren't surprised by the skill itself, but rather amazed that a black seahorse could have enough power to use a skill of this level!
Skills like changing the weather aren't something you can learn easily; they require not only a lot of practice time but also a strong innate talent from the Pokémon itself.
Almost the instant the black horse landed, dark clouds quickly gathered in the previously clear sky above the racecourse, and a light drizzle began to fall, soon becoming heavy.
With so many feathers interfering, interrupting the opponent is no longer an option.
[Rain Prayer] Successful. The environment quickly transforms into a rainy day, which is extremely favorable for Water-type Pokémon.
Luo Yan was slightly startled. "If the Swablu uses its skill to pave a path just to change the weather, then what is this Horsea's ability...?"
"It's 'Leisurely Enjoyment,' which doubles your speed in the rain," Shen Yanqiu smirked. "Our turn! Black Seahorse, use [Gather Energy]!"
"Don't let him succeed, Ibrahimovic, keep using Cross Lightning!"
Mohair and Ibrahimovic act at the same time!
Mo Haima suddenly took a deep breath, and with his mind focused, his attacks became even more likely to hit vital points.
At this moment, the golden lightning had broken free from the restraints of the feathers and came straight to the black seahorse!
But the next moment, the lightning instantly passed through the black seahorse's body—
No! It's just a lingering image left by the black seahorse!
As if teleporting, Mo Haima's figure appeared in another location on the battlefield in the blink of an eye, and the audience couldn't even see how he moved!
With Tailwind and Horsea's ability, this little guy's speed has reached its limit! Eevee is in danger!!
Without even needing an explanation, a beam of light mixed with foam suddenly shot out from Horsea's mouth. Eevee's alarm bells went off, and it instinctively dodged the attack with lightning speed.
The next second, the figure of the black seahorse actually caught up with her movement speed and walked right up to her face, while water energy was once again gathering in its mouth.
"Go, [Bubble Ray]!"
Horsea launched its attack from almost arm's length away, and Eevee had no chance to dodge, instantly being hit in a vital spot and thrown away.
"Eevee is unable to battle!" The referee immediately raised his flag. "Please, Luo Yan, switch to your next Pokémon!"
It was only at this moment that the people in the audience couldn't help but gasp in surprise; almost everyone was shocked by the speed that the black seahorse had displayed.
Luo Yan was also somewhat surprised by this scene. "This is quite a surprise. Your Horsea's nature is also Acceleration, right? Otherwise, even with the [Tailwind] buff, it wouldn't be this outrageous."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanqiu simply smiled mysteriously. "You guessed right about his personality, but this is just the beginning."
"Please switch to your next Pokémon as soon as possible, don't try to stall for time. Tailwind and Rain Dance take a long time to activate." The referee's stern face drew laughter from many people.
"Stop making baseless accusations. Who's stalling for time?" Luo Yan rolled her eyes and tossed the Poké Ball away. "Let me show you my true power, go, Iris!"
With a flash of light, the green-maned foal landed on the battlefield.
Along with it came the cheers of the audience!
Most people know that this "Little Ponyta" is Luo Yan's starter Pokémon, and that's why they are even more excited to see what kind of battle power Luo Yan will unleash.
Especially when facing this incredibly powerful Horsea!
"So, I'm finally going to see your true strength." Seeing the pure and adorable little guy, Shen Yanqiu became slightly excited.
"You will see it."
Let me show you how cunning you can be.
"Iris, let him sunbathe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the dark, cloud-covered sky. The sunlight, like a sharp sword, pierced through the clouds and shone directly on the black seahorse.
Horsea looked uncomfortable; being a Water-type Pokémon, it was annoyed by the glaring sunlight.
"Hmph, trying to compete for the weather? Useless. It's all for naught if you can't keep up with the speed of the Black Seahorse. Black Seahorse, use your maximum Rain Dance!"
"Speed contest? Do you still have any left?" Luo Yan chuckled. "Iris, use [Clear Weather]!"
Just as the Seahorse raised its head to unleash its water-based energy, Iris's horn flashed with a tremendous light, instantly dispelling the dark clouds and bringing sunshine back to the arena.
The moonlight is noticeably brighter tonight.
"How is this possible! It's still raining, why is the Black Seahorse moving so fast—!?"
Hearing Shen Yanqiu's surprise, Luo Yan simply smiled without saying a word.
The effect of [Sunbathing] is to directly remove all buffs from the target. Unfortunately, the Leisurely and Contented trait is also among the buffs.
Although it was raining at the time, anything exposed to that light would return to its original state.
"The roles have shifted, Sister Shen." Luo Yan waved her hand. "Iris, use [Surprise Attack]!"
"Don't underestimate me, Black Seahorse, use [Rapid U-turn]!"
Faced with the oncoming Iris, the Black Seahorse suddenly unleashed even greater speed, transforming into a streak of white light and colliding with Iris.
But the two only made contact for a moment before Horsea's body swiftly retreated, returning directly to the Poké Ball on Shen Yanqiu's waist. Then, another white light flashed out, and it landed steadily on the battlefield.
It's a Mini Dragon!!
