Chapter 198 The Little Tower's Amazing Healing Effects
As cheers erupted, after a stunned silence of about ten seconds, Shiranui Inu finally snapped out of it, but her dejected expression was unmistakable.
"Impossible, how could this be? Just by making contact, and even being restricted in movement by this Bulbasaur, it's impossible for it to be defeated by a single Razor Leaf. This is impossible!"
Once she came to her senses, Shiranui Inu remained muttering to herself. It's easy to imagine how utterly devastated she was.
However, if it were another opponent, and they were defeated so easily, they would likely be in the same situation.
"Little Tower, let's treat the little rabbit over there, so that the trainer school won't say we're heartless in the future."
The little tower standing beside Xuan Mingtian, after receiving words from its 'Great Intelligence', emitted a faint pollen that drifted towards the fallen Flame Rabbit.
At the same time, Little Tower's hands glowed green, leaving the audience and referees completely bewildered. However, the next moment, as the pollen came into contact with Scorbunny, dense green grass suddenly sprouted within a radius of about 2 meters.
Everyone knew at that moment that this was Grassy Field. This was a universally applicable healing skill, in their understanding. While it couldn't compare to the healing effects of a proper Pokémon Center, it could save a Pokémon's life in a critical situation.
Unfortunately, the onlookers and teachers from both academies were mistaken. Thanks to the effects of the Heal Pollen and Grassy Terrain skills, Scorbunny, who had previously lost her fighting ability, gradually regained consciousness.
It could even stand up on its own, which made everyone realize that they had underestimated the little tower.
The moment Scorbunny stood up, its trainer, Inu Shiranui, ran over and hugged it tightly. She also kept stroking its body, as if trying to smooth out its wounds.
However, after receiving treatment from the little tower, Xuan Mingtian knew that the little rabbit was no longer in serious danger. At the same time, sensing that its severe injuries had been healed, the rabbit bowed deeply in the direction of the little tower.
This is probably the simple friendship between elves. Although it was defeated in one move, its teammate healed it. So all the resentment has vanished.
"Thank you for healing my Flame Rabbit, but I'm still annoyed that your partner defeated it in one move. And you, Bai Ying, I'll remember you, and I'll work hard to surpass you. Enjoy your moment of smugness."
It seems that Shiranui In clearly sees Bai Ying as a future rival. I truly admire her courage; a shy little girl would probably have already cried and wanted to go back to her mother.
"Hmph, you should just go to sleep. Anything can happen in dreams. If you want to defeat me, you'll have to put in 1000% effort."
About 15 seconds after the two finished their conversation, the referee felt that neither of them had anything more to say.
"Alright, now that the first match is over, let's begin the second. Each team, please send one teammate to the stage."
Then, the Kato Sculpture team appeared, and this time, it was Yoshima Kinu, who had been quietly competing. He wore glasses and had the air of a refined gentleman.
The unsuspecting audience might have assumed he was a rather frail person, but according to the information Xuan Mingtian received, this person was actually called the strongest civilian student in the first year by the Trainer Academy. It's clear that possessing this title already indicates he's quite extraordinary.
"Xiao Gang, this guy is yours. Be careful, I think he's much stronger than Shiranui Ina from before."
"Okay, then I'll take over this one."
Although Xiao Gang's tone was somewhat frivolous, his serious expression revealed his earnestness in this match.
Why would Xuan Mingtian say that? It's because he saw the Pokémon the opponent sent out.
Caracalla
Attribute: Ground
Ability: Battle Armor (Protected by a hard shell, it cannot be hit by critical hits. During battle, Pokémon with this ability cannot be hit by critical hits. Even if the opponent has a move that guarantees a critical hit, it will be useless against this ability.)
Qualification: Green
Skills: Shout, Bone Club, Headbutt, Charge, Bone Boomerang, Eye Insight, Double Kick
Assessment: This is an extremely powerful Caracalla; do not underestimate it, or you will pay the price. Also, do not use its bones to make soup, or it will give you a good thrashing.
It was because he saw the Cubone that the opponent had sent out, and also because of the variety of skills of this Pokémon. And because it was slightly larger than a typical Cubone, otherwise Xuan Mingtian wouldn't have spoken up to warn Xiao Gang.
Although there's a high probability you won't be defeated, Pokémon battles are always unpredictable. One second you might be on the verge of victory, but the next you could be caught off guard and snatched away by your opponent.
"Alright, both sides, get ready. The second battle is about to begin."
"Karakara, let's use the Qi Gathering skill first."
"A small fist stone, polished with a rock."
As the referee's voice faded, Xiaogang and Yima, as if by prior agreement, simultaneously unleashed their amplification skills. Karakara's "Gathering Energy" made attacks more likely to hit vital points, while Geodude's "Rock Polishing" sharpened his body, reducing air resistance and significantly increasing his speed.
It seems both sides are skipping the probing phase, which is fine. After all, probing moves are only effective against extremely unlucky or untrained Pokémon.
Otherwise, such probing would be seen by Xuan Mingtian as a pure waste of stamina and energy. However, if the gap between the two sides is too large, even a probing skill can unleash tremendous power.
"Calacala, run! Bone boomerangs, kick them one after another!"
"Geosphere, after it becomes round, use the Roll skill to kick up all the dust around it."
Upon hearing Xiao Gang's instructions, Xuan Mingtian, who was not far away, nodded in agreement.
Xiao Gang's actions were intended to create an environment favorable to Geodude. The dust raised would further obstruct Karakara's vision, making it difficult for the latter to pinpoint Geodude's location even if it rushed into the dust cloud, rendering the bone boomerang useless.
Just as Caracara hurled the bone club at the little stone, the stone began to roll, its speed far exceeding that of the bone club flying towards it.
It has received training from a champion-level Pokémon and has countless minerals and energy sources. If its strength is not up to par, it really wouldn't have the face to stay in this small courtyard.
