Chapter 514 Natsu Vs Diantha!
...
"Let's welcome two players in the second half, they are!"
"'Movie Queen' Diantha from the Kalos Region!!"
As a Professional Film Actor, as well as her outstanding appearance and noble and graceful temperament, Diantha always has a loyal support group, and this group is still developing gradually, so the cheers are great.
"And! 'Tactical Master' Natsu from the Kanto Region!!"
The host looks at the hand card, the original title on it has been crossed out by him and replaced with the Information that has just been obtained.
This is called following current events.
Natsu stepped out of the player tunnel slightly embarrassed, and the cheers once again surged, even slightly higher than Diantha's.
Lorelei's "Song Killer" tactics are impressive, and the cheers Natsu gets this time.
This time it really got a lot of attention.
In the eyes of many, it was quite difficult for Natsu who was born as an ordinary person to reach this step.
Combined with Lorelei's description, the "hard" image of an ordinary person born, but dissatisfied with an ordinary person, who works hard to learn and grow, learn tactics, and train Pokémon, has been enriched by people.
These are representatives of the common people!
A role model!
Which Pokemon world has the most?
Of course civilians.
So this wave of Natsu has attracted a lot of fans.
In this case, Natsu is actually pretty good except for that title, which is a little red.
Famous?
He's already famous now that he was in the quarter-finals against Diantha, only more or less famous.
Besides, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for him.
He had decided to build a gym in Solaceon Town.
And a newly established Gym, and still in a less conspicuous place like Solaceon Town, is not easy to attract more people, increase economic income, and improve the reputation of the Gym.
Natsu already had some ideas.
But now it looks like this "Tactical Master" is the first batch of names, and it's expected that once the Gym opens, it will be busy for a while.
This is also a good thing.
Busy.
Earn more money.
Under the referee's signal, the two walked to either side of the venue amidst the cheers of the crowd.
As they looked at each other, the two of them gave a friendly look.
The two of them were not familiar with each other, but after all, they were both contestants. In the contestants' waiting room, they raised their heads and didn't look down to look at each other. They also greeted each other several times, which was considered a good first impression of each other.
If you really want to communicate, you can also communicate after you've finished.
For example, ask Diantha to be aware of a stab from her side.
Natsu had just experienced it.
Diantha's close friend, named Lysandre, is the future boss of the Flare team, or the Flare team is already built, and may already have a prototype.
Of course this is all for later.
Now.
The battle between the two, under the ten thousand focal point, began.
Red light flashes.
Two Pokemon appear in the field.
Diantha summons a Pokémon, a small bird, covered in colorful feathers, with a blue-green mask-like pattern on its face, and a crown of three feathers. The wings resemble a cape, red on the outside and blue-green on the inside, with sharp claws near the tip of each wing.
Gym Leader Level!
Hawlucha!
Pokemon Fighting Type and Flying Type, at first glance, look like big heroes in one of the masked cloaks from the movie.
Natsu is quite familiar with this Pokémon, not only because Ash also has Hawlucha in the original book, but also because this Pokémon actually has a good level of performance in some games.
Its most distinctive feature is its Traits.
"Yonji!"
And the one called Natsu is Alakazam!
This Pokémon, which was the finale in the final game, was supposed to be the Pokémon from Natsu's Trump Card in the eyes of others, and the first to be sent.
Judging from the attributes of these two Pokémon, it is clear that Alakazam is more dominant.
But from Natsu vs Flint before and Lance vs Lorelei, it's not hard to see that at this stage, Attributes aren't the most important, Pokémon strength, tactical setup and setting, etc.
When the referee announces the start, the two and the two Pokémon jump into action.
Whoos——
Alakazam's "Psychic Terrain" immediately stretched, according to Natsu's training needs, now Alakazam can do "Psychic Terrain" easily. Let it be, even if there was no battle, he would maintain the existence of the "Psychic Terrain", allowing himself to increase his proficiency with less conspicuous influence.
"Hawlucha, Fling." Diantha also did some homework for the Psychic Terrain Alakazam movement, so she didn't panic.
"Haww!"
Hawlucha who was on the opposite side, bent down, and from under her robe-like fur, she took out an iron ball made of black metal.
Then gathering her strength, she slammed it towards Alakazam and threw it away.
Even though Hawlucha was small in size, her strength wasn't weak at all. When the heavy iron ball reached her hand, there seemed to be no weight.
Whoosh--
A faint black circle appeared outside the iron ball.
Fling is a Dark Type move. This move can use certain items carried alone as weapons to attack the enemy. These will determine the power of different moves according to the different items that are thrown, and some of them also have additional effects. .
And the iron ball thrown by Hawlucha is the "Iron Ball" Item that best matches the "Fling" move.
So this move, the formidable power of up to 130 points!
And it is also a Dark Type move, which is a big threat to Alakazam.
But look.
Alakazam raised two spoons, and a large amount of blue Psychic emerged from his body crazily, and spread throughout the Psychic Field.
The next second.
Ho!
Alakazam simply disappeared in front of Hawlucha and was out of the range of Iron Ball's attack.
Teleport!
However, Hawlucha seems to have anticipated that this situation might arise, regardless of the discarded "Iron Ball", her wings vibrate vigorously, agile and light spin, her body is extremely fast, on her sharp claws With black light, violently moving towards Alakazam behind.
Throat Chops!
Very fast!
The psychic surrounding Alakazam's body was like a sheet of paper under this attack, cracking layer by layer and rapidly losing its effect.
Alakazam also has a slightly changed complexion, but luckily Natsu had told him before this fight that if his opponent was Diantha's Hawlucha, be prepared for sudden changes, and should not be careless just because the opponent is small and small.
Two spoons are crossed over the chest.
A Barrier, like transparent glass, emitting tiny crystals, appeared around Alakazam's body.
Reflect!
bang!
Hawlucha's attack successfully hit Alakazam, and the restraint brought by Dark Type's movement made him frown.
Even though Reflect blocked half of the physical damage, it still hurt.
And, Hawlucha's speed was too fast.
Hawlucha stopped chasing successful punches, stood still, and started jumping up and down on her feet regularly, like a professional boxer.
Hawlucha is a Pokémon that is excellent at skill-type moves, proficient in a variety of Combat skills, and is a distinctive "power faction".
And why she's so fast is all because of her Characteristic Traits and the "Iron Ball" thrown at the start of the game.
Its characteristics, namely "Unburden".
Unburden: Doubles the speed when you lose an Item you carry.
The "Iron Ball" of Hawlucha "Fling" seems to attack Alakazam, but it's actually just to trigger her Traits.
Hawlucha, who was already known for her speed, had increased her speed to an extremely frightening level after the "Unburden" Characteristic Trait was triggered.
Even if Alakazam had "Teleport", it might not be able to take any advantage in speed.
But Alakazam didn't panic, Natsu had taught before the battle.
The next moment.
Alakazam raised one of the spoons, hanging in front of him, and shot several rays of milky white light, one of which quickly entered Hawlucha's body.
Disable!
Instantly blocked the "Throat Chop" that Hawlucha used just now, a Dark Type move that was enough to hold back Alakazam.
Usually, to keep the Pokémon on the offensive side, Trainers will let the Pokémon learn a few moves that aren't from their own department, but not many moves as such, maybe just one or two at most.
After all, a Pokémon still can't forget its own Attributes.
"Fling" and "Throat Chop" are two Dark Type moves.
Without Item "Fling" becoming unusable and "Throat Chop" blocked, Hawlucha's threat level to Alakazam has decreased.
Diantha's complexion slightly changed.
As Natsu had expected before the match, this Hawlucha could master two Dark Type moves, which was quite impressive.
"Hawlucha, Sword Dance!"
This is a tactical change.
Natsu made a simple guess about how Diantha would play next.
No longer standing still, and began directing Alakazam to respond to his tactical changes.
"Psychic."
"Yonji!"
Alakazam raised another spoon, blue light shot from his eye socket, black psychic ball Gathered in front of his spoon, moved towards Hawlucha without a word.
This was to stop his Sword Dance.
However.
"Protect!"
Diantha immediately gave instructions.
An emerald green energy barrier appeared in front of Hawlucha, making a perfect block for "Psychic" Alakazam.
At the same time, Hawlucha who was quite skilled in innate talent, also completed the "Sword Dance" by doing two things at once with the help of the "Protect" delay.
Attack power is greatly increased.
Then, without Diantha's orders, Hawlucha already understood what she was going to do, and moved towards Alakazam at lightning speed, leaving red lights and shadows on the ground.
This is the only move that will decide this match!
After seeing Hawlucha approaching a certain distance from Alakazam, she suddenly crouched down, her strong and powerful legs stiffened, one behind and the other in front, knees bent, crimson Fighting Type energy had gathered at the knees.
High Jump Kick!
Although due to the restraint on the Attribute and the existence of "Reflect", there is no denying that the formidable power of "High Jump Kick" is truly tyrannical.
After all, the great power of "Brave Bird" is only 10 points higher, and it will take longer.
Seeing "High Jump Kick", Alakazam and Natsu's eyes lit up at the same time.
This time!
"Yonji!"
Alakazam shouted loudly, and the spoon in his hand fell vertically to the ground.
When the spoon hits the ground for a split second, the halo spreads out in ripples centered on the spoon.
the next moment.
Hawlucha, who was jumping high into the air, suddenly felt a very strong force from below, and continued to pull her down.
bang!!
Hawlucha violently smashed the "High Jump Kick" on the Ground, instead of a quick crack in the field, one after another fine cracks spread open.
The only drawback of the "High Jump Kick" move is that when it can't hit the enemy, it will take massive rebound damage.
Like Hawlucha now, when she landed on the ground, her eyes were tightly shut in pain.
"Gravity?" Diantha looked surprised to see the spoon that Alakazam had dropped.
That's right, the "Gravity" move.
In "Gravity" move, "High Jump Kick" cannot be used.
forcibly interrupted.
Diantha is surprised not by Alakazam's ability to "Gravity" but the timing of his "Gravity" usage.
Alakazam had clearly been able to use "Gravity" a long time ago, rendering many of Hawlucha's moves unusable.
Not only "High Jump Kick", but also "Fling", "Fly", "Flying Press", etc., which can avoid some dangers early.
But no, Alakazam waits until Hawlucha uses "High Jump Kick".
In addition to using "Disable" to block Hawlucha's only threat to Alakazam, "Throat Chop".
Diantha feels her tactic for Hawlucha is in Natsu's plan.
It's a little scary.
Hawlucha, who suffered a massive counterattack from the "High Jump Kick", was no longer a threat. The restraint on the Attribute was only with two "Psyshock", which caused her to completely lose her combat ability.
Diantha looked at Natsu suspiciously.
'This guy? For me, for Hawlucha, understand so well? '
If Natsu knew what Diantha was thinking, he would have said that he doesn't know much about Diantha, but he does know Hawlucha, especially Hawlucha from the "Unburden" Characteristic Traits.
In the first game, Natsu won.
As for some tactical twists and turns, few people understand them. Most people just watch the fun. They only know that Natsu won beyond most people's expectations.
But this is just the beginning.
Diantha's next two Pokemon are where the real test begins.
Natsu takes Alakazam back.
"Very good." Natsu appreciated it.
Alakazam used some of the scenarios he might have planned last night, and the various tactics that needed to be handled in different situations, were used almost perfectly and successfully.
Even though it was injured, the impact was not too great, and it still had a certain battle power.
Diantha wasn't in a hurry to summon a Pokémon, but instead gave Natsu a rather complicated and somewhat admiring look.
"As expected of the 'Tactical Master'."
Initially, Lorelei's interview left Diantha with skepticism, but through this First Stage battle, she was convinced that Natsu's tactical Abilities, were very strong.
After all, she's better than him.
Natsu's expression stiffened, laughing shyly.
"Luck, luck."
Diantha smiled, "You are very simple, who is like my friend, he is also very humble."
Lysandre?
Natsu didn't dare to be like him.
"Looks like I have to give my all to get a chance to win." added Diantha.
Then the two summon the Pokemon again under the referee's signal.
As the two had a brief conversation, one of the Elite Four, who understood the tactical play between the two just now, briefly explained to the audience what had just happened.
At this moment, the audience finally understood the battle just now, the deeper game, and expressed their astonishment.
It is summed up in one sentence.
Natsu.
True Tactical Master!
