Chapter 503 Doublade destined to "explode"

...

"Drapion, Toxic Spikes."

When Drapion took his last chance and threw the Toxic Spikes into the field, he fell heavily and lost his combat ability.

"Chucke!"

Togetic clenched her fists and raised her head as she circled the arena, enjoying the cheers for her.

Victory over Drapion was a big test for her.

Although the results were good, Togetic couldn't help but suffer some injuries.

Of course, he quickly regained some form with the "Morning Sun" move.

"Return." Natsu scolded and shouted.

Oh.

Togetic obediently flew to Natsu's side, lying on his shoulder, panting heavily.

Togetic was too tired to say it.

Natsu takes out a Poke Ball.

Reggie on the opposite side pouted.

Lorelei and the others saw that Natsu was using him to practice Togetic, is he not aware of that?

But it was precisely because of this that Reggie felt he was being insulted.

Seeing Natsu taking back Togetic, and Toxic Spikes scattered all over the field by Natsu's side, Reggie made a simple judgment.

Natsu will send Beedrill.

Either ignore the effects of these Toxic Spikes.

There wasn't much time, so he didn't have much time to think carefully. Under the referee's urgent gaze, he took out another Poke Ball.

Two red lights flash.

"Malignant!!"

flapping his wings.

Reggie summons Staraptor, a "House Bird" from the Sinnoh Region, a Normal Type and a Flying Type Pokémon, and Beedrill is used to restrain a Bug Type.

However, what Natsu called was not Beedrill, but Doublade!

"Ouch!"

This was Doublade's first appearance in this "Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament".

Doublade landed on the ground, and suddenly felt a little panic under it. He looked down and found that it was a purple diamond-shaped object with spikes, shining with a purple circle.

It looked good, but he didn't know what it was for.

Doublade swept the red ribbon on his head lightly, and the Toxic Spikes on the ground were swept aside.

Doubleblades have no legs.

Comfortable.

As a Steel-Type Pokémon, Doublade can naturally ignore the ubiquitous influence of Toxic Spikes.

When he saw that Natsu had summoned Doublade instead of Beedrill, Reggie knew he had made a mistake.

No way, Natsu only used Togetic and Beedrill in the previous game, not many people know about Doublade's existence.

Natsu didn't plan on playing Doublade so early, but given that other Pokémon had to be adapted to Pokémon battles as well, he released Doublade.

In terms of Attributes only, Normal Type Staraptors can be immune to Doublade's Ghost Type moves, and Doublade can be immune to Staraptor's Normal Type moves, which are considered feathered birds.

But Doublade's resistance was more advantageous. Flying-Type moves can only do half damage to Doublade, but Doublade can deal full damage to Staraptor.

So, for this round of Pokémon retrieval, Natsu has the upper hand.

The battle is near.

"Sword Dance."

This time, it was Natsu who had the upper hand.

Seeing a red light appear on Doublade, he had to use Sword Dance. Reggie didn't have time to think too much about countermeasures.

"Staraptor, Wing Attack!"

Whoosh--

Staraptor's wings flapped, approaching Doublade at high speed, "Z" The glyph's folds left white light in the air.

In the face of Staraptor's attack, Doublade remained unmoved, despite the worry in his eyes.

"Very fast."

It's not about Staraptor's speed, but Doublade's "Sword Dance" speed.

"Sword Dance" is a very difficult move, just like when Natsu and Claire fought before, Claire made Kingdra use "Dragon Dance", these moves are very difficult, not only from learning In terms of difficulty mastering, they are all very difficult moves .

But Doublade's "Sword Dance" release was very fast, which was abnormal.

After all, Beedrill's "Sword Dance" still had high abilities with Doublade.

clang!

Crisp sound.

The Staraptor's sharp wings collided with the Doublade's metal sheath, making a sound.

Despite being attacked, Doublade's "Sword Dance" also succeeded.

Doublade narrowed his eyes as he was attacked.

The eyes do not fully open until after the attack.

A little surprise, a little doubt.

"Ouch?"

'Hah? It doesn't hurt. '

Those doubts fell on Staraptor's ears, like saying "It doesn't hurt, Have you eaten?"

Staraptor is angry.

Clang--

Angry Staraptor, Doublade only knows

good chance!

On top of the long sword, an illusory shadow of a blue colored Sacred Sword appeared, and at the same time, it also attached Blue Bug Type energy, a combination move, Fury Cutter Sacred Sword!

Swish--

Several brown feathers fell from Staraptor's body, and Staraptor, who received the sword, immediately withdrew, slightly startled.

Silent attack?

"Staraptor, Brave Bird!"

Reggie sees that Staraptor is in the Sky, which is an opportunity to cast the "Brave Bird".

Staraptor was enveloped by a layer of blue energy in an instant, and he mustered all his strength to rush towards Doublade.

"'Brave Bird' of the 'Reckless' Characteristic Trait?" Natsu narrowed his eyes at the scene.

Staraptor's Traits are "Intimidate" or "Reckless". Doublade is unaffected when Staraptor is just playing, so it can only be a "Reckless" Trait.

And a Pokémon with the "Reckless" Trait will increase the power of a powerful move when it uses a move that will cause rebound damage to itself. "Brave Bird" is such a move.

"Kaa!!"

In a long scream, Staraptor smashed straight into Doublade from top to bottom.

"Ouch!"

And was greeted by the Fury Cutter Sacred Sword of Doublade.

This is the second sword.

The illusory shadow of the blue Sacred Sword collided with Staraptor in a light blue energy coat in midair.

The violent collision ruffled the venue and raised a faint layer of dust.

The two sides are at a stalemate.

However, things soon changed.

Another big blue illusion was seen leaping out of the smoke and moving towards Staraptor who was deadlocked in midair.

When Staraptor saw this scene, he trembled.

Staraptor: Referee, fouled with two hands.

bang !!

The slash that fell from above smashed Staraptor forcefully into the ground, leaving a huge hole in the ground.

Referee: "Staraptor has lost his fighting ability, please change the Pokémon from player Reggie."

kill!

In a basic sense, Staraptor had just suffered a sword from Doublade and was defeated.

Doublade was able to get rid of Staraptor neatly, which was enough to make the audience excited.

"A very powerful sword."

"It's two swords."

"Is this a combination move?"

"Sacred Sword Plus"

"Fury Cutter."

"This doubleblade is so powerful, I think he will send Beedrill."

"But why do Doublade's eyes seem scared? Afraid of Staraptor?"

"Idiot, are you still afraid if you win? Doublade is afraid of hacking Staraptor to death!"

"Oh~~~ so that's how it is, I see, I see."

"."

Then, the word "Peak Level Understanding" circulated, and it became the audience's consensus.

Doublade was afraid of hacking opponents to death.

Even some spectators who watched the match online got the message.

Not long after, a GIF from Doublade went viral.

The image shows Doublade's second sword slashing at Staraptor, with the caption "Don't come here! I'm afraid you'll be hacked to death!"

In an instant, Doublade was on fire.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Natsu and Reggie playing.

Reggie sent a third Pokémon with a dark face, and he knew that he might be hanging on to it at this point.

But still want to fight.

The last to be sent was Bibarel.

Normal Type and Water Type Pokémon.

A common Pokémon in the Sinnoh Region, with a status similar to Raticate in the Kanto Region.

But Pokemon like Bibarel aren't actually as "weak" as people think.

First of all, Bibarel's Characteristics are quite good.

Common Characteristics are "Simple" and "Unaware".

Just by looking at these two Traits, coupled with its round eyes, you can see how "simple" this Pokémon is.

Cough.

Back to the point.

The "Simple" trait allows Bibarel to double his ability change when he uses an ability-altering move.

What concept?

That is, if Bibarel use "Sword Dance" once, Bibarel gains the equivalent of releasing "Sword Dance" twice, which is too much.

"Sword Dance" was one of the regular moves that Bibarel could learn.

The "Unaware" Traits can ignore the opponent's ability changes.

For example, when Doublade used "Sword Dance" just now, and added his physical attack ability, when he attacked Bibarel, the enhancement brought by "Sword Dance" would be lost.

At the same time, when Bibarel attacks a Pokémon with a "Defense Curl" move, the increased defensive power brought by "Defense Curl" is useless.

Lastly, Bibarel also has an Implicit Characteristic, "Moody".

The function of this Characteristic Trait is that when Bibarel attacks or moves, one ability is greatly increased, while the other ability is slightly weakened.

If you're lucky, your physical attack ability will greatly increase when you attack, while your special attack ability will decrease slightly.

These are Characteristic Traits that depend on luck.

From the three characteristics above, it appears that Pokemon Bibarel is actually very useful. This is a type of Pokémon that is perfect for civilian trainers.

The Bibarel Normal Type Attribute and the Doublade Ghost Type Attribute were hedged again.

However, Bibarel is different from Staraptor, the combination of Normal Type and Water Type allows Bibarel to receive greater damage when facing the Fighting Type "Sacred Sword".

There were several reasons why Reggie had finally sent Bibarel.

The first was that Bibarel was resistant to Steel Type Doublade moves, and the second was because.

His Pokemon only has one Swalot left to play with, but Poison Type For Steel Type's Doublade's Swalot, it will be more passive.

So no way, he would bet with Bibarel to see if he could create a miracle.

Reggie had a serious face.

"Bibarel, Sword Dance!"

His Bibarel Trait is "Simple", if Sword Dance is successfully used, then he will get two bonuses, and he will get two bonuses against Doublade. little chance of winning.

So he bet that Doublade as a Steel-Type Pokémon wasn't fast enough to stop Bibarel.

In terms of "Sword Dance" proficiency alone, Bibarel and Doublade weren't the least bit worse off.

"Shadow Sneak."

Natsu narrowed his eyes.

Although he was curious about what Bibarel Reggie's Characteristic Traits were about, he didn't want to wait.

Doublade is slow, but has "Shadow Sneak" to make up for his flaws.

"Ouch!"

Doublade sank into the shadows, and the dark shadows approached Bibarel at high speed.

Seeing the speed of the shadows, Reggie's face changed.

So late!

He discovered that Doublade Natsu had a high level of proficiency in mastery of moves, whether it was "Sword Dance", "Sacred Sword", "Fury Cutter", and even "Shadow Sneak" at this time.

"Bibarel, surrender, use Stomping Tantrum on your shadow!"

Ground Type "Stomping Tantrum" has twice the restraint against Doublade.

Reggie also knew that Doublade who used "Shadow Sneak" would definitely emerge from Bibarel's shadow, so he let Bibarel use a move on his shadow.

this step.

Can't hide.

Then there's no need to hide!

It was just a "Stomping Tantrum", and it couldn't pose a lethal threat to Doublade.

Natsu made a quick judgment.

"Fix it."

In one sentence, Doublade understood what Natsu meant.

Forcibly resisting the Gtound-Type energy covering Bibarel's fallen sole, the Fury Cutter Sacred Sword was cut apart as his body was in pain.

bang! !

A huge crater, bigger than the one left by the previous Staraptor.

A sword.

It was just a sword, and Bibarel lay in the cracked hole, his eyes rolled, and he lost his combat ability.

Doublade rubbed his chest a little scared.

Good risk.

Fortunately, the coating made it harden beforehand.

Despite being injured, the battle ended and did not get in the way.

Wow--

The audience was boiling again.

See you again!

The referee was very professional, and immediately gave the result after Bibarel lost his fighting ability.

"Bibarel lost fighting ability, all three Reggie Pokémon lost fighting ability, so the winner is Natsu!"

Togetic stood on Natsu's shoulder and moved towards the audience. The cheering audience waved her hands excitedly.

Have a good time!

Togetic loves the feeling of a ten thousand focal point.

Doublade stood stuck at Natsu's feet, red bands tightly wrapped around Natsu's ankles, the first of its kind, a stark contrast to the excited Togetic.

Natsu isn't as excited as Togetic, though with a smile on his face.

Only the top sixteen.

Natsu looked thoughtful as he looked at the grumbling and unwilling Reggie after taking Bibarel back.

If Reggie's temperament is going to change drastically in the future and become like in the original book, that doesn't mean he can't communicate, discuss and discuss Breeder knowledge, and find him a job at the same time.

Of course, this is expected to take quite some time.

Amidst the cheers, Natsu walked back into the contestants' tunnel.

Obviously, after Doublade's neat sword, the number of his supporters would increase.

At the same time.

"I'm afraid of you" Doublade also ushered in short-term popularity on the Internet.

I'm sure this GIF will be used a lot in the next few chats.
