Chapter 357 N's Strength
Yang Ming didn't expect Feng Lu to be so easy to please. She actually agreed to his request after he only raised a few insignificant conditions.
Feng Lu didn't expect that learning Z moves would have such high physical requirements. Looking at the full page of physical fitness test, she felt like she had entered a den of wolves.
"Can I regret it?" Feng Lu asked in a low voice.
"No, great power always comes at a price. Just bear with it for a while."
Yang Ming put on the bracelet, which was inlaid with a dark brown diamond-shaped crystal, which was the purest crystal.
Z-moves require the trainer and Pokémon to each wear the corresponding Z-Crystal in order to be used. For the needs of training, Hala lent Yang Ming two Z-Crystals with the same attributes.
Two pieces of the purest crystal with rock properties.
Most of Yang Ming's Pokémon are steady and defensive. The only ones that are aggressive are Rattata, Magnetron, Centipede, and Baby Tyrannosaurus. Among them, Rattata is more suitable for using Fire Orb, while Centipede is more suitable for Momentum Cloak. Finally, between Magnetron and Baby Tyrannosaurus, he chose the latter to learn Z moves.
"I heard from Hala that the methods of use of all Z-moves are the same. In theory, as long as you learn one, you can quickly master Z-moves of other attributes." Yang Ming thought to himself.
Of course, there are some special Z-pure crystals that can only be used for specific Pokémon, but Hala did not carry these rare Z-pure crystals with him.
"Start training, Baby Tyrannosaurus, use 'Destruction Rock Slam'!"
Yang Ming performed special dance steps, trying to stimulate the power in the Z pure crystal.
However, the baby Tyrannosaurus jumped up and down on the field, and did not seem to understand what Yang Ming meant, and the rock-attributed Z-pure crystal on it also did not react at all.
"No reaction?!" Yang Ming looked at the dim Z move on the bracelet and fell into silence.
"Don't be too discouraged. Every newcomer is like this at the beginning." Hara crossed his arms and walked to his side. "To use Z-Moves, you need to sense the natural power in the two Z-Crystals and guide the two forces to connect together."
"The process of understanding varies from person to person. The fastest people can understand it in one go, while the slowest people I've seen take several years to fully grasp it. Don't be impatient, you will eventually be able to learn it."
Yang Ming took a deep breath, calmed himself and tried again.
In the next few days, Yang Ming would learn Z moves from Hala in the morning, train Silver in the afternoon to prepare for the semi-finals of the Silver Conference, and lead his men in the evening to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Yuanzhu City is like an ice-covered sea. The surface is calm, but under the surface, there are undercurrents. I don't know how many forces are ready to make a move. Although Yang Ming is exhausted like a dead dog every day, he also knows that now is not the time for him to relax.
Feng Lu's progress caught up quickly. Thanks to the special training Yang Ming had given her before, Feng Lu's physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary people. In addition, unlike Yang Ming who divided his attention to do three things, Feng Lu could spend all her time on learning Z moves, so she quickly passed the physical test and came into contact with Z pure crystal and Z moves.
On the day of the semi-finals, Yang Ming did not go to the stadium to watch, but continued to practice Z moves. He had investigated Yin's opponent in the semi-finals in advance and knew that the opponent's strength was not as good as Brownie in the knockout round, so he did not take it seriously.
The result was just as he expected. Yin defeated his opponent without any suspense and successfully advanced to the finals.
But another thing was beyond his expectations. Xuanqing, the contestant from the Bell Tower, couldn't even force out N's second Pokémon and was defeated by a Chino Chinchilla.
This is a seed player of the younger generation trained by a top-level force, yet he is so vulnerable in front of N.
"Tokugawa, give me the video of the semi-finals."
Although he did not watch the game in person, Yang Ming still arranged for Tokugawa to record N's game process in advance. After all, since the Silver Conference, no one has been able to force N to release his second Pokémon.
At the beginning of the game, it seemed that the little monk named Xuanqing had investigated in advance that N's Chinchilla was a normal-attribute Pokémon, so he sent out an Infernape to suppress it from the beginning.
"Go Infernape, use Brick Break!"
Infernape was as fast as lightning, and it was obvious that he had been well trained. However, Chinchilla was faster than it, and easily dodged Infernape's brick-splitting blows.
"Chino Chinchilla, use Tail Sweep."
Chinchilla whipped Infernape in the face with its tail, which was as soft as a scarf. Infernape staggered back two steps, seemingly not reacting. However, before it could stand firm, Chinchilla's second "whip" came again.
This was followed by the third whip, the fourth whip, and after five sweeping blows, Infernape lost its ability to fight.
Seeing that Infernape had lost its ability to fight, Xuan Qing sent out the rock-attributed Rhydon to fight, trying to use the resistance of the rock attribute to suppress the tail sweep.
However, what awaits Rhydon are countless seeds.
Seed machine gun!
Countless seeds spurted out of Chino's mouth like bullets, sweeping towards Rumble Rock. Rumble Rock was hit by this four-fold restraint move and felt pain all over his body, and began to retreat uncontrollably.
But there was no use retreating, as Chino Chinchilla's stomach seemed like a bottomless pit, and countless seeds poured out of its mouth until Rumble Rock fell down.
"This Chino Chinchilla is so lucky. It can fire both the tail sweep and the seed machine gun continuously without any interruption." Tokugawa exclaimed.
"This is not luck or coincidence, but the characteristics of Chino Chinchilla played a role," Yang Ming said calmly, "Chino Chinchilla's characteristic is called continuous attack. This characteristic allows all continuous attack skills to perform the maximum number of attacks, which is suitable for the tail sweep and seed machine gun just now."
Tokugawa suddenly realized: "No wonder they can keep firing, it turns out this is also N's tactic."
Next, Xuanqing sent out the third Pokémon, a powerful Ardennes, whose strength was greater than that of the previous Infernape and Rhydon.
"Windy uses close combat!" As soon as it made a move, Windy used a powerful fighting move.
And Chino Chinchilla was not willing to be outdone, it used its rock-attribute special move, Rock Blast!
In terms of speed, Chino Chinchilla was suspected to be faster. Countless pieces of rubble shot out like bullets, knocking the Wind Speed Dog back repeatedly. The rock attribute originally restrained the fire attribute, and combined with the characteristics of Chino Chinchilla's continuous attack, the damage was maximized.
However, Windspeed is undoubtedly stronger than the previous two Pokémon. After withstanding the rock blast, it not only did not fall down, but also fought back!
But its counterattack stopped before it even began.
