Chapter 604: Just holding on

The dazzling crystals turned into flying fragments of light with a crisp cracking sound, and the surface of the Earth King's body had turned into a crystal clear appearance.

On top of its head, a crown-like Taijing gem stood, and on it appeared an object that looked like a cross-section of the earth.

Plains, mountains, inner core, outer core, mantle, crust... everything on the earth is presented on this Taijing Crown.

There is no doubt that the crystallization attribute of the Earth King is of the ground type!
In Qishu's live broadcast room, the screen full of barrages paused for a moment and then rolled even more frantically.

The residents of the Padia region are not so bad, and occasionally you can encounter Pokémon that have become crystallized due to the crystallization of the crystal in the wild.

Audiences in other regions were simply astounded.

Is this evolution, morphological change, or enhancement of status?

Never seen anything like this!
Zhenxin Town, Damu Research Institute.

Recently, under Xiaojian's teaching, Dr. Oki, who has become more and more proficient in surfing the Internet, is happily using the knowledge he has mastered to carry out science popularization.

He even opened several accounts, including one for uploading his own Pokémon Sawayanagi, one for going abroad to popularize Pokémon knowledge and Pokémon lectures, and this one that is currently active on various live streaming websites.
Professor Oak is very open to new things and is now a very qualified surfer.

Recently, he also heard about a live broadcast method that can use facial expressions and motion capture to control virtual characters, and is considering whether to try it.

However, when he saw Xinli undergoing the crystallization, Professor Oak got stuck for the rare time.

Although he had heard of the unique phenomena in the Padia region, he had never conducted any relevant research and could not give a specific explanation.

In the live broadcast, Qishu seemed to be finally relieved after being depressed for a long time, and he talked incessantly about the phenomenon of Tai Crystallization.

She would cast a smug look towards the camera from time to time, and no one knew who she was comparing herself with in the void.

In fact, Qishu is really happy now.

The guy who acted as a know-it-all in the barrage finally disappeared. Not only did he steal the limelight from her, but maybe someone else wanted to come and take advantage of her popularity and traffic!

While explaining incessantly, Qishu also clicked on that person's homepage and found that this guy was someone he had blocked.

Although Qishu has blocked many people, she still remembers this person's ID clearly, not to mention the private messages she received from him before.

That fake Professor Oak!

For a moment, Qi Shu, who was itching to give his teeth, looked even more arrogant.

At the farm in Pingdie Town, Luo Mu was concentrating on watching the battle. He noticed the expression of Li Qishu in the live broadcast room, as if his eyelids were twitching, and was speechless for a moment.

What's wrong with this guy?
Meanwhile, at the Padia Pokémon League headquarters, a fierce battle had been going on for some time.

After becoming crystallized, the Earth King's ground-based moves are even more powerful.

But its most threatening aspect is not its ground-based moves, nor its decent double defense.

Instead, when it is attacked, the thick thorns will extend from its body. Once stabbed, not only will the person be seriously injured, but he or she will also most likely be injected with toxins at the same time.

For Nemo, she wanted to avoid Pokémon's physical strength and energy consumption before the final battle as much as possible, and poisoning was the last thing she wanted to happen.

Although her Butterfly Moe has also mastered the "aromatherapy" technique learned from flower therapy teacher Huanhuan.

But the pressure of treatment will also weaken the fighting power of the Butterfly. Unless necessary, Neemo will try her best to avoid such things from happening.

This also allowed her to avoid contact with the Earth King as much as possible when commanding the Slimy Dragon in battle.

Fortunately, Smelly is a dual-sword Pokémon. Even without the "Wet Body" trait, after summoning rain clouds to cover the sandstorm, its water-attribute moves are still quite powerful.

In the end, relying on its own physique, Nian Meilong took the "earthquake" of the Earth King on the Taijing ground, and in return, it brought about a huge wave that rose like a high wall, completely drowning the last bit of the Earth King's physical strength.

The late blooming Pokémon showed its dominance after being trained and formed.

"Sniper Tree Owl, Slimy Dragon, and Moon Bear are all fine. After triggering the characteristic to increase strength at once, Kentaro's energy seems to be somewhat damaged. He needs to continue to rest. It seems that he will not be able to play in the second round."

After treating the injuries of the Pokémon using the methods she learned from Luo Mu, Neemo ran over to Xinli, who was looking up at the ceiling and seemed to be lost in thought.

"Thank you very much for your guidance, Lord Xinli!"

"What do you mean by guidance? Sister Xinli, you defeated me with a score of 3-0~?"

Xin Li waved her hand, and her tone when speaking to Nimo became more intimate.

"Don't call me Xin Li Tian Wang stiffly. I'm older than you, so I'm taking advantage of you. Just call me Sister Xin Li."

Although she lost the battle, Xinli was extremely happy. Trainers who could pass her test were rare, let alone someone like Neemo.

She thought that if it was Nimo, she might really be able to make a name for herself like Luo Mu, who rose like a meteor the year before last.

"The second of the Four Heavenly Kings is even more powerful, so you better try your best."

Xin Li pointed to the door behind him, with one hand in his pocket, looking very casual.

This also reminded Nimo that the short break after the war was almost over.

"Go ahead. I'll see with my own eyes how far you can go."

"I understand, Sister Xin Li!"

Nemo's cheeks turned red, as if she was impressed by Xinli's handsome and cool appearance. She called back her friends after a short rest and headed towards the next room step by step.

Xin Li whistled, and after Nimo walked into the room, she slowly followed in with her hands folded.

In principle, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Padya Alliance, she naturally has the right to move and watch the battle in the Four Heavenly Kings' battle room without interfering with the battle.

As soon as she walked into the room, she heard Nimo talking to herself.

"It's really Uncle Aoki. Is this a general room?"

On the other side of the room, Aoki, who was wearing a business suit, a sky blue tie neatly tied on his chest, and had slightly dark circles under his eyes, full of office spirit, also heard Nemo's "soliloquy".

After tugging at his tie, Aoki said weakly, "Although I use a normal type similar to mine in the gym, the people above me ask me to be different and use different attributes to fight."

"If you have any problems, please complain to the chief. I will use my flying attribute to thank you for your care this time."

"Well, let's get to work. Please give me your guidance."

Aoki spoke weakly, seemingly having no desire to continue chatting with anyone. Instead, he took out a Poké Ball from the briefcase in his hand and aimed it at Neemo.

His whole body was filled with the aura of finishing the fight early and leaving get off work early. Oh no, it was the desire to finish this extra battle early and then deal with today's original work.

Such a pure class atmosphere, many workers who were watching the live broadcast during their breaks from work resonated with Aoki. Everything was just a forced effort.

"Warrior Eagle."

Aoki threw the Poké Ball in the most energy-saving posture, and a large bird of prey with a white crest, thick legs and huge claws appeared.

A brave and proud sky warrior with general + flying attributes.

The Pokémon sent by Nemo are quite interesting.

She was not stupid enough to send the Moon Bear with its inverse attributes, nor did she choose the Sniper Tree Owl whose attributes would be restrained by the Flying Type because of the opponent's air advantage.

Rather, besides Slimy Dragon, there is only one other option on her team that is not countered by the Flying type.

"Hey, what are you planning to do?"

Xin Li, who was standing in a corner of the room so as not to expose her figure to the camera, looked surprised and took her hands out of her trouser pockets.

"Please, Babu Groundhog!"

"Bamo!"

After Nemo threw the Poké Ball, an upright electric mouse nearly one meter tall appeared on the battlefield with a flashing red light.

Ace, here comes Bob the Groundhog!
The Babu Groundhog that appeared seemed to have eyes on its back, and used its palm to hit the Poké Ball steadily back into Neemo's hand.

In Qishu's live broadcast room, she was stunned for a second and her facial expression was almost out of control.

She knew very well which Pokémon was Nemo's ace Pokémon and which Pokémon had learned the most from that guy Luo Mu's Roentgen Cat!
Does Nemo's intention of sending out Babu Tubo here mean that she wants to create an advantage directly by relying on its strong strength?

Qi Shu explained subconsciously.

When he returned to the second battle room of the Four Heavenly Kings and found that Nemo had sent out Babu Tubo, a slight fluctuation appeared in Aoki's slightly tired eyes.

"You two are an electrical master and apprentice."

Aoki felt that the tie around his neck was a little tight again.

Looking back, after he kindly took Luo Mu in on the streets of Jinhui Town, he completely started a life where he was bullied by the other party and could not even walk.

On the second day, he challenged the opponent in the gym and was electrocuted by the opponent's Roentgen Cat, leaving him burnt inside and tender outside.

The championship test at that time was even more heavyweight. That guy was like Nemo, who sent out the Roentgen cat at the beginning to try to target his own flying army.

No, it’s better to say that this fighting style was actually learned by Nemo from Luo Mu!

A few months ago, I was also defeated by Nimo using Babu's Dirt Blow at Jinhui Gym, and today.
The bad memories made Aoki's face paler, but as an office worker's instinct, he immediately commanded the Warrior Eagle to take off and attack Babu Tubo.

"Tearing Claw."

"Wow!!"

The blood-red light wrapped around the curved claws of the loudly screaming warrior eagle, and as it dived, it grabbed directly at Babu Tubo.

When dealing with a Pokémon like Babutu that is good at close combat, using long-range moves to consume it is actually the best option.

But the reason why Aoki still chose close combat was, firstly, that Ye Ci asked him to pay attention to the viewing experience of the live battle, and secondly, the character of Warrior Eagle was not that timid. Aoki believed that although he was mediocre at everything he did, he still respected the character and expectations of Pokémon itself.

The brave sky warrior Eagle does not need to carry out long-range attacks that he is not good at. It is best to fight the enemy head-on.

In the Alola region, because of Luo Mu, Kukui, who was also watching the live broadcast, simply broadcast it to the students in the Pokémon School.

Kukui couldn't help but admire Aoki's bravery as he commanded the Warrior Eagle.

Mr. Aoki, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, is really good at training Pokémon.

As he thought about this, Kukui shouted to the audience, "This is the battle of the student that Mr. Luo Mu taught personally. It is a championship challenge that is rarely seen in person. Everyone must watch it carefully."

"Good~"

Several students in Kukui's class nodded and answered, with Kachi's voice being the loudest and his eyes filled with enthusiasm.

Gladion, who was about to leave after sending Liliae to school, paused when he heard Kukui's words. He subconsciously stopped where he was and his eyes fell on the live broadcast screen.

Is he Mr. Luo Mu’s student?

Gladion's eyes were glued to the live broadcast screen, refusing to move an inch.

He wanted to see how powerful Nemo, a student taught by Luo Mu himself, was, and what he lacked compared to her.

The Padya Alliance headquarters, in the second room.

The warrior eagle swooping down on Babu Groundhog was like an eagle hunting groundhogs on the plains, as if possessing absolute racial domination.

But is this really the case?

The former Bubba might have been afraid, but after growing up with Nemo and going through the oppressive training of the Roentgen cats, Bubba is no longer the weak self he once was.

The moment the Warrior Eagle swooped down, Babu Tubo's clear eyes suddenly became sharp, and crackling sparks came out of his fists. He rushed towards the Warrior Eagle without fear.

The lightning fist hit the tearing claw fiercely, and the force and numbness coming from the contact point immediately made the warrior eagle's face change.

This power is not good!

The warrior eagle flapped its wings, trying to blow away the Babu Tupo with the strong wind, but Babu Tupo Nimo responded by -

"One hundred thousand volts!"

The boiling lightning was released from Babu Tubo's body and instantly penetrated the majestic body of the warrior eagle!
At this point, most of the Warrior Eagle's physical strength has been lost.

Regardless of the trainer's command level, Aoki's choice was not wrong.

Just as Nemo's trump card, at this moment, Babu Tubo completely crushed the Warrior Eagle in terms of pure numbers.

The moment the Warrior Eagle's body froze, Babu Tubo gave it another "Thunder Fist", completing his first kill since his debut.

It didn't even take 30 seconds.

Xin Li, who was at the scene, could not hear Qi Shu's excited commentary, but she still took a deep breath and murmured, "Is this the champion seed?"

"Luo Mu, how on earth did you discover this super genius?"
