Chapter 315: 1st floor tower master! Taohua and Xuxiang!
"What? I thought I wouldn't have to go to work every day after I had a central control computer..."
"Ahhh~~ Looks like my beauty sleep this afternoon will be ruined again. What a bummer."
The door to the fighting room had not yet been opened, but Wang Yao and Shizuka outside had already heard a woman's low complaints coming from inside.
"Senior, it is really rude of you to say that... If the trainers who come to challenge you hear it..."
That slightly childish face tried hard to put on a serious expression.
But in the eyes of her partner, Taohua, she appears to be more innocent and adorable.
"Hey, are you teaching me a lesson?"
Taohua stretched out an index finger, placed it on Xuxiang's chin, and put her pink pupils close to the other's nose, revealing an interested look.
As the first-floor tower masters in the doubles mode, Taohua and Xuxiang are both partners and alumni.
Although the two are only one year apart in age, Taohua, who is spoiled and naughty, always teases her younger brother as a senior.
"You were just a little fledgling who could only lower his head to talk not long ago... Xu Xiang, you have grown up a lot now~"
“Don’t, don’t do this… Senior…”
Xuxiang blushed immediately and took a few steps back in a flash. Naturally, he no longer cared about correcting Senior Taohua's words and actions.
at this time.
Sizzle——!
The access control was swiped open from the outside.
"whispering sound……"
Taohua looked a little disappointed. It was a rare occasion that she wanted to tease this innocent junior of hers.
But her interest was interrupted, so she had to hold back her anger and rub her long pink hair around her fingertips to vent it.
"Hello - welcome, both of you. I'm sure you already know the rules of the doubles challenge..."
Instead, Xuxiang breathed a sigh of relief and stood next to Taohua again with a sincere smile on his face.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry to open the door? I want to listen a little longer."
Wang Yao did not respond to the other party's question immediately, but lowered his head and whispered in Shizuka's ear.
"...Do you have the nerve to ask such a question?"
Shizuka closed her eyes, took a deep breath, clenched her fists and replied.
If she had come in a little later, this animation might not be broadcast on the children's channel anymore.
"You two? If you are not familiar with the rules, I can explain them again."
Seeing that Wang Yao did not respond, Xuxiang continued to ask patiently.
"Oh—we have no doubts, let's get started!"
Wang Yao didn't think too much about it. He reached out and took out a Poké Ball and held it in front of him.
After the update of the battle tower, the order of first attack in each duel is randomly determined by the computer.
Wang Yao had already drawn the order before entering the door.
"We're going to attack first, right? Then - let's go! Arbok!"
“Crack~ Pop!”
After coming out of the Poké Ball, Arbok stretched his body on the spot.
It has not fought for a long time since Wang Yao came to the Seven Islands.
"Arbok, huh? Xorbat, I leave it to you!"
Although he is a "fledgling" in terms of love, Xu Xiang is not an easy person to deal with when it comes to Pokémon battles.
"Not only is it my beauty sleep... it also prevented me from being alone with my junior... Anyway, I want to get it back."
Taohua lowered her head and muttered in a voice that only she could hear.
"Go! Pippi!"
A pink girl with a dark side naturally needs to be paired with a similarly pink Pokémon.
"Pippi~"
A playful little fang appeared at the corner of Pipi's mouth, his ears wiggled, and he hummed a tune unique to Pipis.
Taohua, who is a senior, sent out a Pokémon that looked 'small and pitiful'.
But judging from the rules of the Battle Tower, this harmless pink star in front of us should have powerful strength that is inconsistent with its appearance.
"It's Pipi... Then I'm..."
Shizuka took out a red and white Poké Ball that was kept very shiny.
"Keep it up, Jigglypuff!"
"Lucky!"
In Shizuka's hands, ever since the last battle between Shirogane and Swamp King that shook the world...
General Jigglypuff, who has never taken action before, finally goes into battle again!
"Leave Pipi to me, you go deal with the Crossbat."
The Pokémon of both sides have already taken their positions, and Wang Yao quickly assigned his opponents.
"Eh? Shouldn't we let Jigglypuff come...Okay."
Shizuka was stunned for half a second. After all, judging from the appearance, it was obviously the X-bat that was more difficult to deal with...
But thinking that the other party would not make such arrangements for no reason, Shizuka quickly accepted the task.
Beep-beep-beep!
As the green light bar around the venue turns red, the race officially begins.
"The big snake stares!"
A sneak attack is a good tactic, and Wang Yao happens to be good at it.
"Close your eyes!"
But Taohua and Xuxiang, the tower keepers, are also experienced in many battles.
“How naive—!”
As soon as Crossbat and Pipi closed their eyes, they felt a corrosive smell coming towards them.
With the help of ultrasonic waves and its ability to fly, the cross-winged bat flapped its wings in an instant and easily avoided the source of the smell.
But when the cross-bat dodged, the one who suffered was Pipi who was still on the ground.
Wow—hiss, hiss, hiss!
The highly acidic gastric juice covered Pippi's body surface.
"--Skin!"
The short pink hairs became jagged due to the corrosion of gastric juice, and there was an intense burning sensation.
"Is it a dissolving liquid?"
Xuxiang asked with a frown.
Although this fighting technique of confusing the names of moves is a bit old-fashioned, it is still very useful as a first-sight kill.
"No, it's gastric juice. He wants to eliminate Pippi's characteristics."
As Taohua shook off the hair that was tangled around her fingertips, her expression became more serious.
"Hehehe, it's too late to know now."
Wang Yao put his hands in his pockets and put on a villainous smile.
"Arbok—kill it!"
In fact, in a real competition, there is no need for too much command. As long as the goals are given, the Pokémon will naturally know what to do.
"You're right, right?" - Musashi.
"Crack!"
Arbok showed his fangs, which flashed with cold light, and pounced towards Pipi.
"Stop it—Air Slash!"
Xuxiang hurriedly commanded the Crossbat to meet his teammates.
"Don't forget I'm here - Chandler, use Light Wall!"
Shizuka has gradually caught up with Wang Yao.
With a bang, the flying air blade hit the wall of light.
By the time it landed on Arbok's snake skin, the sharp air blade had been weakened into a harmless breeze.
"Hold on!"
At the critical moment, a green barrier full of security suddenly appeared in front of Pippi.
The sharp fangs were successfully isolated outside the barrier.
"Humph, you underestimate us too much."
Taohua smiled provocatively at Wang Yao and the other man on the other side of the venue.
"It's our turn now - Pipi, use..."
boom!
"Skin--!"
But before the smile on Taohua's face disappeared, the snake's tail covered with a metallic luster had already hit Pippi's little head.
"Good opportunity, use the slap combo!"
Shizuka also took advantage of the situation to command Jigglypuff to move forward.
Clap clap clap clap!
Pipi, who was knocked dizzy by the iron tail, was faced with the crazy Ora of Jigglypuff.
"Hissssss~"
The Crossbat that wanted to come back for help was deterred by Arbok's snake body that was ready to attack.
"--Skin!"
Even though he had a good level, Pipi could only fall down in tears under the beating of Arbok and Chansey.
"Ahhh you kid! You really piss me off!"
Taohua stamped her feet in anger.
This frustrating feeling of having the power but nowhere to use it made her want to teach them a lesson even stronger.
"This isn't a turn-based system. Isn't it common sense to attack continuously after finding a flaw?"
Wang Yao accepted his opponent's compliments calmly.
