Chương 786: Chapter 679: The Plant that Ignores Flames_1
"This crazy plant..."
Hera let out a sigh.
The Venusaur's Tree World Coming skill, due to its use of Earth Power, felt more like a mountain than a sea of trees to her.
Very solid, very hard to contend with.
"However, since it is a plant, it must have a weakness."
After suffering a defeat, Hera steadied her emotions, looked at the remaining half of the sea of trees on the field, and then at the sunny sky above the field, quickly taking out a new Poké Ball.
Whoosh!
With a flash of light, a mostly orange spherical Pokemon appeared.
This Pokemon, with eight yellow rock spikes extending from its sides resembling a sun totem, is none other than Solrock, a Rock/Psychic Type Pokemon.
As a Psychic System Elf, Solrock has a very special ability. It's similar to Sun Eevee, with sunlight being the source of its strength, making it very powerful during the day.
Moreover, although it's a Rock/Psychic dual type, its name suggests that Solrock is also very skilled at Fire Type Moves, easily rotating its body to release high heat and intense light.
Seeing Hera dispatch Solrock unsurprisingly, the Egyptian team breathed a sigh of relief.
This Solrock's strength might not exceed the Dragon Head Rat by much, but due to its attribute and ability advantages, it's definitely the bane of Venusaur!
"After Dragon Head Rat lost combat ability, the second Pokemon Hera sent out turned out to be Solrock!!"
With Hera's second Pokemon entering the field, commentators from various nations began to assess the situation.
"She wants to use attribute and ability advantages?"
"Why isn't the Fang Team switching Pokemon?"
The audience, too, started to excitedly discuss.
However, Fang Yuan had sent out Venusaur precisely to train it; if he switched Pokemon just because of an attribute disadvantage, it would be meaningless.
His title as Reverse Attribute Master wasn't for nothing!
"It's strange, why do you Fighting Kings, aside from cultivating Fighting Type Pokemon, all like to train other Attribute Spirits like Rock, Ground, and Steel Types?"
Fang Yuan was puzzled. In the original story, Bruno was like this, Xu Haoran too, and even this Egyptian Female Fighting God, could there be some kind of profound tradition?
"Psyshock!!"
Hera had no time to care about Fang Yuan's doubts, as heavily tasked as she was, what she urgently needed to do now was to defeat this Venusaur of Fang Yuan's and turn the tables.
Solrock was the Pokemon on her team with the highest hope of defeating Venusaur, possessing both attribute and ability advantages, the chances of winning were much higher than with Dragon Head Rat.
"Woohoo~" At Hera's command, Solrock directly unleashed a massive torrent of psychic energy.
Under the Sunny Day of Venusaur, this Solrock also gained a certain strength amplification. Venusaur's mastery over Sunny Day is not as strong as Eevee's, unable to confine the weather advantage solely to itself. Moreover, this Solrock is particularly adept at plundering solar energy, so at this moment, Solrock's Psyshock is even stronger than usual.
"Block it," Fang Yuan said calmly.
The eyes of the Solrock floating in the air were large and distinct, its red pupils channeling a psychic torrent towards Venusaur. However, Venusaur was no easy target; at the same time, the Sea of Trees astonishingly rose with a rumbling, as if being an extension of Venusaur's limbs, under its control. The trees that had burst just before quickly grew and revived, forming a wall of tree barriers.
Boom!!!
A massive tree surged across, sweeping through and positioning itself in front of the psychic torrent.
The collision of the two moves produced a violent impact, and with a "crack," the tree barrier split and shattered, and the psychic torrent also vanished.
Clearly, the tree barrier easily blocked the Psyshock for Venusaur.
And Venusaur itself had never left its original position, remaining in its Rooting state from start to finish.
"This is troublesome now. That Venusaur has already connected its source of physical strength with the hardened plants. Without breaking through the hardened plants, it is impossible to harm Venusaur," the Egyptian team worried for Hera as they saw Solrock's Psyshock being blocked by the giant tree.
After a few rounds, some trainers of Master Level and above began to see some clues.
Venusaur itself possesses the power to manipulate nature, and at this moment, with its Rooting into the earth, it's likely connected to the hardened plants through a special technique.
For that reason, Venusaur can so effortlessly control everything for offense and defense within the Sea of Trees.
Venusaur's domineering combat style dazzled many spectators, lighting up their eyes. Compared to wave-based fights, the tangible combat of punches and kicks, and high-speed strategizing, this tactic of controlling the Sea of Trees domain was quite novel.
"This combat technique, aside from requiring Venusaur to develop its species abilities and its familiarity with hardened plants, what other cultivational element is there? Rooting and Earth Power?" Many were trying to decode the training method of Venusaur, and indeed, quite a few guessed it right.
However, even with knowledge, it was difficult to replicate. Rooting and Earth Power were just the methods used by the leader of Venusaur from Bulbasaur Forest to control the Sea of Trees, while Fang Yuan and his team had further strengthened the Tree World Arrival Skills through the use of the Awakening Power Water move and the Energy Blocks that replenished life energy.
The Sea of Trees of Venusaur, brimming with vitality, had become even stronger, and thus the multiple derived uses had a steep learning curve.
"What about the Sea of Trees, just use Flame," the Egyptian team said nonchalantly as they saw Venusaur counterattacking and once again manipulating the Sea of Trees to rise and encase the Solrock.
Huge and strong trunks twisted upward, and Hera calmly gave the command, "Flare Blitz."
What would result from this clash between the Sea of Trees and fire?
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The Sea of Trees enveloped Solrock, and within it, flames burst forth intensely.
"What is Fang Yuan doing?" The members of China's Second Team were puzzled.
"Or does he have another plan?" Shang Ren spoke up.
It was puzzling indeed since they knew that Solrock must be skilled in Fire Type Spells, yet Venusaur was sent to assault with the Sea of Trees.
If Venusaur had stepped into the Top Tier Domain, it would be one thing, as absolute strength reduces the factor of elemental weakness to a minimum.
But Venusaur's strength, despite appearing formidable with the support of Grass Field, Sunny Day, Rooting, and Tree Realm Tactics, had not reached a level where it could effortlessly crush Solrock.
To have the Crazy Plants ignore fire was impossible, and once the Sea of Trees was set ablaze, Venusaur would be near defeat.
"Your intelligence is severely lacking," Fang Yuan said with a slight smile.
The Sea of Trees would catch fire; indeed, that would normally be the case. But since he had issued such an order, he naturally had his own confidence.
The title of Reverse Attribute Master wasn't just self-praise.
At this moment, Hera was waiting for Solrock to use Flare Blitz and ignite the Sea of Trees, charging courageously forward to damage the Venusaur. However, the Sea of Trees enveloping Solrock only gave off flames and showed no signs of turning into a sea of fire.
And Solrock seemed to have lost all reaction...
"Impossible." Within moments, Hera exclaimed in shock. Unless Venusaur was top-level combat power, it was absurd to think that it could completely ignore attribute weaknesses to the point that the trees could not be ignited...
However, the real situation was that the trunks covering Solrock were coated with a special oily substance produced by petrified plants. Under this oily layer, the threat of the flames to the vegetation was minimized...
No one could have imagined that after Venusaur's Mega Evolution, it would have the Thick Fat ability, which allowed it to disregard the effects of flames and frost to a certain extent. Although Venusaur hadn't Mega Evolved yet, that talent indeed existed within it, and at this moment, Venusaur directly used "Awakened Power Water" in combination with the plants to activate this ability in advance.
Thus, the audience witnessed this scene.
Solrock, enveloped in flames like a fireball, was completely suppressed by the Sea of Trees and couldn't break free!
Not top-level combat power, but in possession of top-tier tactics?
Fang Yuan's Venusaur's performance once again changed the audience's understanding of attribute weaknesses.
"Incredible, truly incredible! The plants can actually ignore the fire. What could be the reason for this?!" the commentators exclaimed in surprise.
This is bad.
Seeing Fang Yuan's smile, Hera realized she had fallen into Fang Yuan's trap.
But this trap was something any normal Trainer would have taken advantage of; no one would have thought that the flames would be ineffective against the Sea of Trees.
It was a forthright strategy! No... it was an overwhelming level of cultivation.
At this moment, Hera, who was battling Fang Yuan, felt a clear sense of oppression coming from him.
This was just someone who treated Pokémon battles as a hobby?
Impossible!!
"Finish it," Fang Yuan then issued the finishing command.
As he spoke, Venusaur retracted its branches, and the Sea of Trees domain that enveloped Solrock suddenly exploded from the collision of oil and flames.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
The terrifying explosion swept Solrock away, creating dense smoke that covered the sky.
"Power Whip."
Before the smoke dissipated, Fang Yuan commanded Venusaur to pursue its victory, controlling the trunks like giant arms to smash into the smoke.
"Ven-whaaa!!!" Venusaur roared.
With its roar, a badly damaged Solrock was cleanly smashed to the ground by the heavy trunks.
All the while, Hera naturally tried to issue commands to help Solrock escape but to no avail. Venusaur's control over the field was too powerful, simply uncounterable.
"Solrock..."
As Solrock fell, Hera paused, defeated again!
Seeing Solrock struck down, Hera was startled and then grew unsettled.
Although Solrock wasn't her strongest Pokémon, it should have been the one in her team most capable of threatening Venusaur due to the attribute advantage.
But the reality was... the fire was completely useless.
"Hera! Pull yourself together!" Saeed, the Egyptian team captain, shouted.
The other members also stood up.
Being one against two was already a dire situation.
Cairo's gaze was solemn; this Venusaur, like that Milotic, had a peculiar and unprecedented style of cultivation. Among them, probably only Saeed could assure victory if he stepped in.
On the field, Hera smiled bitterly. She was calm. Indeed, it was because she calmly analyzed the strengths of both sides that she was at a loss.
So strong...
"Fang Team rocks!!!"
"Venusaur rocks!!!"
"First came Venusaur, then came the gods; the Sea of Trees can do what immortals can!"
As Venusaur once again effortlessly defeated an opponent not much weaker than itself, the China audience section erupted into excitement.
Impressive. They didn't understand much, but they knew Fang Yuan had established an absolute advantage by being one against two.
"From the cultivation style alone, it's clear that this Venusaur will definitely be another strong mainstay for Fang Yuan in the future."
"This kid always brings surprises, no, shocks," Jiang Li said with a strange expression as the round ended.
The China First Team remained composed, but hearing Jiang Li say that, they curiously asked, "You know Fang Yuan's Venusaur?"
Jiang Li looked at the other four people with a smile, "Yes, I've seen it, half a year ago, but at that time, this Venusaur was still a Bulbasaur..."
As Jiang Li finished speaking, Yun Kai, Su Shu, Xu Haoran, and Xie Qingyi were all startled, digesting the implication of Jiang Li's statement...
Then, they quickly realized the implications and looked at Fang Yuan on the field with shocked eyes.
By now, they weren't sure if Fang Yuan was even taking this first match seriously anymore.
