Chapter 497 Lei Si broke through the great defense? The griffin felt offended.
Looking at the fallen Mk Eagle, Li Luochen's eyes revealed a hint of approval.
Despite the disadvantage in attributes, they were able to create such a situation against the Triceratops, executing their tactics until the very last moment.
It certainly deserves a shout of approval.
But for Reese, the Starhawk's performance wasn't actually that good.
The tactics were correct, and the timing was good, but the execution was lacking.
While the final brute force certainly proved valuable, if the earlier close-quarters battles hadn't been less intense, the Starhawk could have held out longer and inflicted far more damage on the Styracosaurus.
Lei Si recalled Staraptor with a blank expression, his fingertip lingering on the Poké Ball for a moment, as if suppressing a word, or perhaps suppressing a fire.
Noticing the change in Lei Si's waveguide, Li Luochen frowned slightly.
The wave wasn't strong, but it had obvious fluctuations, like an undercurrent leaking out from the cracks after emotions were forcibly suppressed.
Anger, resentment, and harsh criticism of one's own Pokémon...
Several emotions mingled together, subtly transmitted to Li Luochen through the waveguide.
This reminded Li Luochen of Shinji, whom he had seen on television.
As expected, they really are brothers.
However, the anime did mention that Raiji's personality wasn't particularly gentle before he broke down in his battle against Kamishiro.
Thinking of this, Li Luochen spoke, his tone gentle: "Challenger, your Pokémon has done its best."
"As a trainer, you need to work well with your Pokémon."
"No problems can be solved without more communication."
Upon hearing this, Lei Si nodded slightly: "Thank you for your guidance, Pavilion Master Luo Chen."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and threw out the last Poké Ball.
"Devouring Beast, you've secured the final victory!"
A large, purple Pokémon landed steadily on the ground.
It looks like a soft lump of dough, with a row of black diamond patterns down the middle. At first glance, it looks a bit like Mud, but without that pungent stench.
"Swallow~"
The Devourer opened its mouth wide and lazily yawned, but its gaze remained fixed on the Triceratops.
In the final battle, Li Luochen didn't probe too much and directly ordered: "Halberd Dragon, Dragon Claw."
The trecodon's forepaws once again gathered dragon-type energy, and it pounced on the Devouring Beast.
The sharp dragon claws sliced through the air, carrying a fierce gust of wind.
The blow that severely injured Starhawk just now has been unleashed again!
Lei Si remained calm and said in a deep voice, "Devouring Beast, melt."
The devourer's body suddenly liquefied, spreading out like a purple gel.
The dinosaur's claws sank deep into the mud, but it was as if it were stuck in a sticky swamp, unable to exert any force.
The dragon claw stirred around in the liquefied body a few times, but couldn't find a foothold. Instead, it was wrapped up by the soft body, leaving it in a dilemma!
[That was good. Using the melting technique to block the dragon claw, the challenger's next move will likely be poison!]
Judging from this situation, they're probably planning to use a poison-based defensive tactic, right?
[But will this tactic really work against Master Li Luochen?]
Seeing Devourer use Melt to neutralize Dragon Claw, many spectators already had the almost universal tactic of Poison-type Pokémon in mind—Poison Substitute!
Melt to block the attack, and while the dinosaur is stuck and unable to exert force, counterattack with a deadly poison.
Once the Styracod has finally managed to pull its claws out and is ready to counterattack, the Devourer uses its Substitute to block the damage, and then uses Protect to stall for turns!
A smooth combo was unleashed, the poison continuously drained his health, and his attacks were neutralized layer by layer. Just thinking about it made me feel bad for Li Luochen!
"Devourer, highly poisonous!" Lei Si seized the opportunity and decisively gave the order.
Purple venom seeped from the devouring beast's body, spreading upwards along the thyrsus's claws.
At this critical moment, Li Luochen calmly said, "Use the ice spikes to lift the Devouring Beast up."
With a sudden swing of its other claw, the trebuchet unleashed several sharp ice spikes that shot out from the ground, slamming into the predator's soft body from below.
The entire mass of purple slime was suspended in mid-air by the ice spike, and the venom was abruptly interrupted before it could be injected into the Styracosaurus's body!
Lei Si exclaimed in surprise, "What?!"
There's actually a way to interrupt a deadly poison?!
He had imagined that Li Luochen would dodge, defend, and fight with his moves.
The only thing I never thought of was using ice spikes to prop up the Devouring Beast, so that the poison wouldn't touch the Styracosaurus at all!
"Good tactics, but unfortunately, it ran into my Styracosaurus."
Li Luochen shook his head, giving his opponent no further chances.
"Gyrodon, unleash your final greatsword charge!"
The serpent dinosaur suddenly turned around, and the greatsword on its back burst forth with dazzling light, its dragon might concentrated to the extreme on the blade.
It exhaled icy air from its mouth and its body shot out like an arrow!
The sword's edge pierced the air, carrying an indomitable momentum, and crashed head-on into the Devouring Beast!
With a single move, the outcome was decided.
The Devouring Beast was struck head-on by the giant sword and collapsed helplessly to the ground, unable to continue fighting.
"The Devouring Beast has lost its ability to fight."
Shi Xintong, acting as the referee, raised her hand and spoke clearly throughout the battlefield: "Since all of the challenger's Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner is Gym Leader Li Luochen."
Lei Si stood there, pale-faced, his hand holding the Poké Ball trembling slightly.
One against three!
This was the first time he had ever been defeated by a single person taking down three of his opponents!
Even when he challenged gym leaders in various regions and even fought against Giovanni, he had never lost so decisively.
Li Luochen gestured towards Li Ke.
Lyco understood, nodded slightly, and turned off the live stream.
Then, Li Luochen walked up to Lei Si and asked, "You seemed a bit anxious during the battle, what happened?"
Waveguides don't lie.
Through the waveguide fluctuations emanating from Lei Si, Li Luochen could clearly sense that something was wrong.
The more they fought, the more anxious and chaotic it became, as if they were afraid of something.
Afraid of failure?
Li Luochen couldn't help but mutter to himself: Am I that scary?
Li Luochen even made a point of recalling it.
Although I haven't faced many challengers recently, it's not like I haven't fought before.
He neither mocked nor humiliated those who lost, nor did he say a single harsh word to them.
Give badges where appropriate, offer encouragement where necessary, and at most offer a couple of suggestions.
Why are you so scared?
The answer is obvious.
Lei Si must have encountered something.
You can't exactly make a bet with someone saying you can beat yourself, can you?
Li Luochen glanced at Shinji on the sidelines and found that his younger brother also looked bewildered, his brows furrowed as he looked at his older brother, clearly unaware of Raiji's abnormal state.
That makes the question even more worthy of consideration.
Lei Si clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly: "I lost... I couldn't even beat a pseudo-legendary Pokémon."
"Then, if they face legendary Pokémon, wouldn't they have absolutely no chance of winning?"
Styracoid: ?
Are you polite?
