Chapter 251 The changing situation of the battle

...

righteous heart triggered.

One of the questions Natsu and Absol raised when they exchanged tactics was about Absol's Characteristic Trait.

Maybe Absol doesn't know what his Characteristic Trait is, but it doesn't matter, Natsu can rule it out through some of its descriptions.

The final Lock On is righteous heart.

righteous heart: When attacked by Dark Type moves, its own attack will be increased to a certain extent.

Ditto Transform becomes Sharpedo, plus Sharpedo itself, two Pokémon use Dark Type move Bite on it, regardless of the damage result, the effect of righteous heart is activated.

That's why Natsu arranged for Ditto to become Sharpedo.

It's not the tool Sharpedo thinks it's steamed or braised.

Although it is indeed a good choice.

Absol mastered the "Sword Dance" move, which Natsu also confirmed.

But in the face of an experienced hunter like Clay, using Sword Dance in front of him is tantamount to exposing weaknesses and waiting to attack.

So Natsu can only choose to settle for the next best thing, looking for a breakthrough from the Characteristic Trait of the righteous heart.

Of course, his arrangement is not just that.

There is Kadabra's Psychic as a tandem between Natsu and Absol.

Even if you discuss tactics, you don't need to crouch down to its ears to discuss.

All of this was done for Clay on the opposite side.

A normal person would not pass up such an opportunity.

This is the first trap set.

By using Klay's lack of comprehensive knowledge of Absol, he didn't know that Absol had fully recovered, and then with the help of the sneak attack that the other party thought and his contempt for Absol, he was able to kill Ariados unexpectedly.

This is the second trap.

From a pair of threes to a pair of twos, coupled with the two triggers of the righteous heart and Shuckle's Guard Split, one strengthening and one weakening, the battle situation changed instantly.

And, as long as the opponent doesn't attack, Natsu will keep letting Ditto and Sharpedo trigger Absol's righteous heart Characteristic Trait, constantly strengthening its attack, and the Scales of Victory will tilt irreversibly.

In addition, it is not long before Absol eats Dragon's Saliva, and the medicine efficacy of Dragon's Saliva is still playing a role in its body.

The little scars left by Sharpedo and Ditto healed in a blink of an eye.

Clay grimaced.

He certainly knows what Natsu is doing, and having fought Absol once, he knows Absol's Characteristic Trait very well.

He was despised by him, and didn't even bother to waste Pokémon's energy attacking Natsu's choice.

It seems pretty stupid right now.

This "little fellow", who he doesn't pay attention to at all, is turning the situation around by his own abilities.

In other words, the situation has been turned around.

It is impossible to attack Natsu now.

Absol, whose attack power has been strengthened, must be taken together by Nidoking and Drapion.

But no matter what, Absol can no longer continue to superimpose the blessing of righteous heart.

"Nidoking"

The sharp horn on Absol's head glowed as Clay gave the order.

Future Sight!

Absol red's eyes flashed, and it had roughly predicted what would happen next.

"Ugh." Absol hummed softly.

I saw it slowly lift its feet and then fall down Frillishly!

Moves, Me First!

Me First: Increase the formidable power and use the moves that the opponent wants to use first. If you can't use them first, the moves will fail .

"Earth Power!"

I saw Nidoking raised one foot and stomped on the ground heavily, along with the slight tremor of Ground, a ferocious Ground Type energy ran along the Ground. Quickly moved towards Absol hit.

Natsu takes a few steps back with the Pokémon.

He has already done almost what he needs to do, and then it's up to Absol to play himself.

As for how it fights, Natsu will not intervene too much, at most, giving some judgments and suggestions at certain key nodes.

Just like now.

Natsu's mouth twitched, offering his understanding and advice in a timely manner.

Absol is faster in the face of Nidoking's attack.

Before Nidoking's foot fell, it fell.

So, the effect of the Me First move is activated.

Earth Power!

Also, Earth Power with enhanced formidable power.

I have to admit that Absol's unique ability to predict, coupled with the particularity of the move Me First, makes it appear very buggy in combat.

Clay wasn't surprised to see Absol use this move because he had seen it before when he fought Absol.

But he still chose this move.

Because Earth Power is a special attack type move, Absol righteous heart strengthens physical attack, not special attack, not Me First's formidable power, but only on the basis of the original formidable power of the move superior.

Forcing the Characteristic Trait and Nidoking of Life Orb to strengthen the Earth Power move is not inferior to Absol, or even stronger.

Converted into data, Me First strengthens the formidable power of the move by 50%, while forcing the addition of Life Orb increases the formidable power by 30% respectively, for a total of 60%.

Nidoking's Earth Power formidable power is stronger!

However.

Once again, something unexpected happened to Clay.

Nidoking's Earth Power is attacking Absol, but Absol's Earth Power is attacking

Drapion!

Because, Natsu's suggestion.

The Earth Power of Ground Type, both against Nidoking and Drapion, has twice the damage of restraint.

Also, Natsu knows more about the formidable power conversions on these moves than Klay.

Absol may or may not win, it doesn't matter what the outcome is, because this move can't beat Nidoking.

Similarly, Absol, who is not restrained by Attribute, will not be defeated even if he bears this move.

At most, take some damage.

But this is different for Drapion.

Drapion, which is already in poor condition, eats this move Earth Power and is doomed to lose its combat capability.

Based on Clay's understanding of Absol and the judgment made in a short period of time, he did not think that Absol would make such a choice, and Natsu did not say anything, so he had already asked Drapion to "output".

However, the result of a misjudgment is.

Drapion loses and Absol takes damage.

The battle situation changed from one-on-two to one-on-one again.

Obviously, the last trace of the medicine efficacy of Longzhijiao relieved Absol's pain.

"Psychic?"

At this time, Clay finally realized that the communication between Natsu and Absol was not through words, but Psychic.

Behaviour from the very beginning.

It's a trap!

"Damn!" Clay couldn't help but burst out.

His reaction was fast, but no matter how fast, it was too late.

It's all down to the contempt for Natsu, as well as Natsu's previous "arrogant" remarks, which caused him to make many mistakes in judgment.

from the very beginning.

He was plot against!

A chill rose in Clay's heart, not at Absol, but at Natsu, the youngster he hadn't seen since the very beginning.

Natsu chuckled, not trying to hide his voice this time.

"It's time to end."

In a one-on-one situation, Absol is more dominant.

and

"Beer!"

"Yongji!"

"Just!"

Beedrill, Kadabra and Togetic also woke up after getting some benefits!
