Chapter 332: Cracking the Magic Space
On the day when the knockout round began, Yang Ming and others arrived at the venue on time.
However, these opponents in the knockout rounds still could not pose any threat to Yin, and he almost dealt with them all in no time.
"It's so boring~" Yang Ming yawned, "Can't we have a more challenging opponent?"
The audience around you were secretly complaining in their hearts, it's not you who is participating in the competition, why do you feel that you are more pretentious than the contestants?
Finally, it was the fourth day of the knockout round. In the quarterfinals, Yin finally met an evenly matched opponent.
The opponent was a black guy who looked tall and thin. In the audience, a big black man who looked somewhat similar to him was cheering for him.
"Come on, my son Bronny has the qualities to be a champion!"
"The boy's name is Brownie," Louis came up, "Of course, the name is nothing special, but his last name is extraordinary."
Yang Ming couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"
"His last name is 'James', and he is the son of one of the Big Three of the Heat," Louis said. "There are three famous masters in the Kalos area. They are of the same blood and have become brothers. The three are the eldest, Barea, the second, Iguodala, and the third, James. Each of these three has the strength of a quasi-king, and this Bronny is the eldest son of the third James."
"So he is the son of the future king. No wonder he has such ability." Yang Ming looked at the scoreboard of the game. At this time, both sides had three Pokémon down and were fighting with the fourth Pokémon.
"Magneton 3-in-1, use Beam Cannon!"
"Little Diamond, use Trick Space."
Magneto's Light Cannon Cannon directly severely damaged the rock Pokémon named Diamondback. If it weren't for its hardness property, this rock and fairy Pokémon would have lost its combat ability on the spot.
"Yin is starting to get too greedy and act recklessly." Yang Ming sighed in his heart as he watched the battle situation.
Obviously, this boy named Brownie intends to use the Trick Space to create an absolute advantage for his own slow Pokémon. The more Magneto attacks, the longer the opponent can maintain the Trick Space.
When faced with a powerful field skill like Trick Space that has a time limit, the correct way to win should be to use the transformation skill to delay time, and then eliminate the opponent after the Trick Space disappears.
Yin also realized this and began to change his tactics.
"Magneton 3-in-1, use Stand."
"Too late," Brownie's eyes flashed, "Little Diamond, use Big Blast."
The severely injured Diamond began to emit strong light all over his body, and with a loud bang, the entire stadium was filled with smoke. When the smoke cleared, it was seen that Brownie's Diamond had lost its combat ability due to the self-explosion, while Silver's Magneto only suffered some minor injuries and seemed to be fine.
"What? After all this effort, this player named Bronny only did this little damage. This player is really disappointing." Some viewers booed.
Only experts like Yang Ming knew that Bronny was using a tactic in the Trick Space - using suicide attacks with big explosions to create an output environment for his Pokémon to play without any injuries.
Sure enough, as Brownie's fifth Pokémon came on the field, Silver's face suddenly became ugly.
It's a fire-breathing camel!
Since Magneto's electric-steel attribute attacks were completely blocked by Charmeleon, Silver's situation could be said to be extremely bad.
"Magneton, use your Stand again!" Silver said hurriedly.
"Too late, Fire-breathing Camel uses the power of the earth!"
With such a fast and fierce attack, Magneto didn't even have time to react and was killed instantly. In the Trick Space, the slow-speed Pokémon had an absolute advantage.
"Okay, son, you are the best!" The big man outside the court was cheering for Bronny.
"Is this Bronny's biological father, James? What a fuss."
Even if he is a strong man, he is just a father in front of his son.
But as Magneto was defeated, Brownie's face turned ugly.
"No, it's impossible!"
I saw another three-in-one Magneto appear at the place where the original three-in-one Magneto fell. It was obvious that the one that was knocked down just now was just a stand-in.
A stand is a fake that consumes a quarter of one's physical strength. This fake can forcibly attract the enemy's firepower. If the stand is not defeated, the enemy cannot attack the original body.
Compared to the shadow clone which has a chance of being overturned, the substitute requires physical strength but is also safer.
"Fire-breathing camel, use flamethrower."
The three-in-one Magneto was defeated again, and like before, this one was also a stand.
Silver knows that Magneto cannot defeat the Fire-breathing Camel, so his tactic is to consume time by constantly creating substitutes, thereby consuming the energy of the Trick Space.
The three-in-one Magneto was ultimately no match for the Charmeleon and was knocked down with one blow. At this point, the Trick Space still existed on the field.
Brownie's face showed excitement. As long as the magic space did not disappear, he would definitely win this battle.
On the contrary, Yin's face was very serious. He knew that if he couldn't hold on until the end of the magic space, he would definitely lose.
"Come out, Crocodile!"
He didn't want to reveal his cards too early, but since he had been forced to this point, he had no choice but to fight.
As the Mighty Crocodile appeared, Brownie's expression changed slightly. Such a strong Mighty Crocodile is rare.
"But in the magic space, there is nothing you can do to save the situation," Brownie encouraged himself secretly, "Fire Camel, use Big Explosion!"
Even with the first-mover advantage of Trick Room, Charmeleon still can't defeat Crocodile, whose attributes completely restrain him, so he has to use the Big Bang to die together with Crocodile. Then he just needs to use Trick Room to kill the opponent's remaining Pokémon to win.
I saw a stream of water rushing towards the fire-breathing camel at a dizzying speed, killing it with just one blow.
The audience didn't even get to see the fight clearly before the fire-breathing camel lost its ability to fight.
In Trick Space, slow Pokémon are indeed the fastest - unless they encounter a priority move.
The first-come-first-served skill of striking later, although not very powerful, can always ignore the first and last move of the enemy and ourselves, and is a powerful weapon against the magic space.
The water jet of the Hercules Crocodile is a preemptive skill, and coincidentally, it can also restrain the Fire Camel with fire and ground attributes by four times, so even if the power is low, it can kill instantly.
"Damn it, Octopus, use Charge Beam!" Brownie gritted his teeth and sent out the last Pokémon.
With one move, he can restrain the electric attack of the powerful crocodile!
"Mighty Crocodile, use Bite!" Yin also knew that he couldn't retreat in such a situation and could only fight to the end.
The crocodile roared and pounced on the octopus barrel, and the octopus barrel also released electric current to fight with it.
After a fight, the crocodile fell down, and the octopus bucket was also seriously injured.
"It's up to you in the end, Ma'la."
As Silver's last Pokémon appeared, Brownie felt that he had a sure win.
Ma-la? Isn't it just a crispy skin? Don't forget that my octopus barrel can spit fire.
In the magic space, how could a mere squishy creature possibly win?
"Octopus Barrel, use Jet Fire!"
But just as he finished confidently shouting out his trick, Brownie discovered to his horror that his trick space had disappeared.
The previous three-in-one Magneto desperately used his stand to delay, just for this moment.
"Ma'la, use Shoot Down."
An ordinary blow killed the already severely damaged octopus barrel. No one expected that such a fierce competition would end in such an unexpected way.
