Chapter 406 Obtaining Sinnoh's First Badge (Temporary Joy)
The moment Hyouta's Geodude appeared, the Cursed Doll, which had just been immersed in Highmore's praise, returned to its tense state during the battle.
Chi Haimo: "Cursed doll, sneak attack."
After hearing Heimer's instructions, the cursed doll sank its body into the dark shadow under its feet again. After seeing this scene, Hyota smiled slightly, and it seemed that he had thought of a good plan.
Chi Haimo: "Get closer to him!"
As soon as Heimer finished his words, the black shadow transformed from the cursed doll quickly approached Geodude.
Hyouta: "Fistful of Stone, use Roll!"
After receiving Hyota's instruction, Geodude immediately hugged his body and used a rolling attack towards the cursed doll. In an instant, Geodude rolled at high speed and pressed hard towards the cursed doll that turned into a shadow. Moreover, it did not just once, but several times in a row.
However, although Geodude's consecutive rolling attacks were getting faster and faster, and their power was getting stronger and stronger, they had no effect on the cursed doll that had turned into a shadow.
Heimer's expression was originally calm as he watched this scene, but he immediately realized that something was wrong.
(Oh no! The speed and power of this rolling now!)
That's right, the purpose of Hyota letting Geodude repeatedly use the rolling move is not to hit the cursed doll which is still in the shadow state.
After all, the cursed doll that turned into a black shadow could not be hit by the rolling attack.
And now, Hyota's real goal is to increase the power and speed of Geodude's rolling attack to the maximum, so that he can defeat the cursed doll with one move the moment it comes out of the shadow!
Chi Haimo: "It's a good idea, but you still underestimate us. Cursed doll, move to the ceiling!"
Hearing Heimer's instructions, the cursed doll turned into a black shadow and moved to the ceiling above the battlefield at an extremely fast speed. After seeing this scene, Hyota did not panic on his face, but instead showed a slight smile.
(Hmm, I have a bad feeling about this... To be on the safe side, I'd better use Strange Light to confuse Geodude first.)
Chi Haimo: "Cursed doll, strange light!"
As Heimer gave the instructions, the cursed doll quickly jumped out from the shadows, and in the blink of an eye, just as the cursed doll was about to use the strange light on Geodude, Hyota immediately shouted at Geodude.
Hyouta: "Fogo! Jump up!!!"
As soon as Hyota finished speaking, Geodude, which was still using a rolling attack, jumped onto the huge rock on the rocky field. Then, using the height of the rock, Geodude crashed head-on into the cursed doll that fell from the ceiling.
In a moment, the colorful light in the cursed doll's hand had not yet been released when it was hit hard by Geodude's rolling attack.
Chi Haimo: "How could it be!"
What Heimer didn't expect was that after continuously using rolling attacks, not only did the speed and strength of the Rocksmith instantly increase a lot, but even his jumping power was so terrifying.
At this moment, after Geodude and Cursed Doll fell at the same time, Geodude stopped rolling and landed perfectly, while Cursed Doll also lost its last strength and completely lost its ability to fight.
Iwao: "The cursed doll loses its ability to fight, and Geodude wins."
The defeat of Eevee and Cursed Doll placed all hopes of victory on Lalu Las.
After a while, after Heimer took back the cursed doll, he also took out the last Poké Ball.
It was a Pokémon ball with an Epiphyllum sticker on it. Although Heimer estimated that he had a high probability of not winning this duel, he still had to complete the battle.
Chi Haimo: "Finally, I'll leave it to you, Lalulas!"
At this moment, after Heimer threw Ralts's Poké Ball onto the rocky battlefield, a huge Epiphyllum bloomed brilliantly from the Poké Ball. In an instant, Ralts was like the blue pistil of the Epiphyllum, and gracefully landed on the battlefield as the petals of the Epiphyllum slowly opened.
Because of the telepathic characteristics, after coming out of the Pokéball, Lalu felt the despair in Heimer's heart.
Lalulas: "It seems that the key to this duel lies with me."
In response to the words that Lalulas conveyed to him through her heart, Heimer spoke to her gently.
Chi Haimo: "Just do your best, don't force yourself."
Lalulas, who was used to the viciousness of human nature, subconsciously thought that Heimer was just talking casually after hearing what Heimer said.
However, because of the nature of telepathy, Lalulas could feel the sincerity in Heimer's heart when he said this.
In addition, Lalulas also felt the heavy regret and guilt in Heimer's heart. Obviously, this was because Heimer felt sorry and guilty for the defeat of Eevee and the Cursed Doll.
Perhaps it was because she had never encountered it before, or perhaps it was because she was really not used to such gentleness, so after hearing what Heimer said, Lalulas spoke to Heimer in her heart.
Lalulas: "Don't worry, we will win."
Although, Lalulas thought that he made such a promise to Heimer because he was temporarily living with Heimer, so it was inevitable that he had to cooperate with Heimer to complete some things.
But in fact, even Lalulas himself did not realize that the scale in his heart had already tilted.
Hyouta: "Fistful of Stone, use Roll!"
After hearing Hyota's instructions, the Geodude began to roll at high speed on the rocky ground again. In the blink of an eye, the friction sound from its rolling could be heard again on the battlefield.
Chi Haimo: "Lalulas, mental interference!"
Although Geodude's rolling attack is very powerful in both offense and defense, Ralts has extremely high talents that most Pokémon can't match. Therefore, after Ralts looked at the rolling Geodude with her blue eyes, the Geodude stopped rolling instantly and was frozen on the spot by mental interference.
Seeing this scene, Piao Tai was about to give other instructions, but unexpectedly, Lalulas did not give Piao Tai any chance to speak.
At this moment, after Laltlas gently waved his little hand, Geodude was knocked down heavily twice in a row by the power of mental interference. In an instant, after the light of mental interference on Geodude's body dissipated, Geodude lost his combat ability and collapsed to the ground on the spot.
Iwao: "Geoblast loses its ability to fight, Ralts wins!"
Looking at the Geodude that had lost its ability to fight, Laltlas said with a smile in his heart.
Lalulas: "I thought you were very capable, but it turns out you're just this good."
Hearing what Lalulas said, Heimer spoke in a low voice.
Chi Haimo: "Lalulasi, we can't be careless."
Just as Heimer whispered a response to the words that Lalts conveyed to him through his mind, Hyouta, who had taken back the Geodude, had already taken out his last Poké Ball.
Hyota: "Hahaha, Heimer, you gave me a good fight too. However, I won't give you my badge so easily. Go! Warhammer Dragon!!"
In a moment, just as Hyota's Pokémon Ball landed on the ground, a white light flashed, and a powerful Warhammer Dragon appeared on the rocky battlefield.
Seeing this scene, Lalulas immediately became alert.
Lalulas: "Well, it seems that we really can't be careless."
In response to the voice that Lalulas conveyed to him, Heimer smiled gently and said.
Chi Haimo: "Well, but we can definitely win."
No matter what state he is in, when facing an opponent stronger than himself, Lalulas will always immediately let his mind be alert. And this reaction is also gradually formed during the years when Lalulas escaped from the capture of Pokémon hunters.
Hyota: "Warhammer Dragon, use the mind hammer!"
After receiving the instructions from Hyota, a purple light appeared on the head of the Warhammer Dragon like a battle armor. Then, the Warhammer Dragon rushed towards Lalulas head-on at an extremely fast speed like a purple meteor!
Chi Haimo: "Lalulas, mental interference!"
Facing the frontal attack of the Warhammer Dragon, Heimer chose to take it on the spot. After a while, after hearing Heimer's instructions, Lalulas immediately used the powerful blue light in his eyes to attack the Warhammer Dragon.
I thought that this time, I would be able to subdue the opponent smoothly. However, when the blue light of mental interference gathered on the Warhammer Dragon, it was actually bounced off on the spot by the power of the mental hammer on the head of the Warhammer Dragon!
It seems that in the battle of power, Lalulas's mental interference did not win.
(No, it seems that even if Laltlas has extremely high talent, when facing the final evolution form of Warhammer Dragon, it will most likely be at a disadvantage in the power duel of ultimate moves.)
Chi Haimo: "In that case, Lalulas, teleport!"
(Since you can’t win by head-on confrontation, then try some other methods!)
As Heimer gave the order, a blue light flashed on Lalulas' body and she moved behind the Warhammer Dragon on the spot.
At this moment, the speed at which Lalulas moved instantly made the expression on Piaotai's face instantly become worried.
Hyota: "Warhammer Dragon, behind you! Turn around!"
Hearing what Hyota said, the Warhammer Dragon immediately turned around and rushed heavily towards Lalulas. Seeing this, Heimer also quickly shouted to Lalulas.
Chi Haimo: "Lalulas, use teleportation continuously!!"
As Heimer finished his words, the blue light on Lalu Las' body flashed continuously, and Lalu Las began to use instant movement continuously on the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, the speed of the instant movement was so fast that everyone present could only see a momentary afterimage of Lalu Las' body after it moved.
At this moment, facing the constantly teleporting Lalulas, the Warhammer Dragon, which was constantly changing directions, began to feel dizzy on the spot. After a while, there was a bang, and the purple light on the head of the Warhammer Dragon dissipated. While he stopped the attack of the Mind Hammer, he sat on the ground with a daze.
Chi Haimo: "Now! Lalulas! Mental interference!!"
How could Heimer let go of such a good opportunity easily? After hearing Heimer's instructions, Lalulas stopped her teleportation and a fierce blue light flashed in her eyes again.
Hyota: "Don't give up! Warhammer Dragon! Use your mind hammer to resist!"
The War Hammer Dragon, who was still dizzy, suddenly condensed the purple light on his head after hearing what Hyota said. In an instant, the power of mental interference was blocked again by the powerful mind hammer.
Chi Haimo: "Continuously use teleportation!"
After receiving Heimer's instructions, Lalulas began to teleport continuously on the battlefield again with blue light emerging from his body.
Hyota: "In that case, Warhammer Dragon, use the Mind Hammer on the ground!!"
Following Hyota's instructions, a loud noise of rocks breaking filled the entire gym.
At this time, after hearing Piaotai's instructions, the War Hammer Dragon hammered the ground heavily with its mind hammer. In the blink of an eye, the large rocks on the ground were shattered into many small stones under the impact of the mind hammer, and then shot towards the War Hammer Dragon like a rain of arrows.
Chi Haimo: "Lalulas, use the Warhammer Dragon as the center and return those flying stones to him! Mental interference!!"
Hearing Heimer's instructions, Lalulas used mental interference to catch all the flying stones on the field as easily as drinking water. Then, under the effect of mental interference, several stones were shot towards the Warhammer Dragon at an extremely fast speed.
Hyota: "Warhammer Dragon, use the mind hammer to resist!"
As soon as Piaotai finished speaking, the Warhammer Dragon began to madly hit the stones shot at it with its head while maintaining its mind to strike the hammer.
After a while, under the continuous attacks of the Warhammer Dragon's Mind Hammer, all the stones were broken into powder. However, due to the frequent use of the Mind Hammer, the Warhammer Dragon began to feel dizzy after the purple light of the Mind Hammer dissipated.
Heimer, who was familiar with psychic-attribute moves, knew that this kind of mental hammer that focused a large amount of mental energy on the head would easily make the Pokémon dizzy if it was not a psychic-attribute Pokémon if used continuously.
What's more, after Lalulas's teasing just now, the Warhammer Dragon, which was already a little dizzy, would of course become even more dizzy after using the Mind Hammer continuously.
(Thanks to Teacher Nazi.)
Chi Haimo: "It's over! It's now! Lalu Lasi, mental interference!!!"
Looking at the Warhammer Dragon in front of him that was so dizzy that it couldn't use any moves, Heimer seized the opportunity at this moment. The moment Lalulas stopped teleporting, the blue light in his eyes attacked the Warhammer Dragon's body at lightning speed.
In a moment, the Warhammer Dragon was thrown against the wall with great force. Then, at the moment the Warhammer Dragon fell to the ground, the outcome of this gym tournament had already been decided.
Yan Sheng: "Warhammer Dragon loses its ability to fight!!! Lalulas wins!!! So the winner is the challenger Chi Haimo!!!"
The moment he heard Yan Sheng announce the result, a smile appeared on Heimer's face that he hadn't seen in a long time. For him, this kind of joy after winning by fighting alongside Pokémon was really something he hadn't experienced for a long time.
At this moment, because of telepathy, Lalulas also felt Heimer's inner excitement after the battle.
However, this moment seemed different from the previous time when she used her special abilities to feel it. When Lalulas felt the happiness in Heimer's heart, a smile she had never had before appeared on her face.
Chi Haimo: "Lalu Las, we won!!!"
Facing Heimer's happiness, Lalulas smiled, nodded, and spoke in her heart.
Lalulas: “Well, yeah.”
But immediately, as soon as she finished saying this in her heart, Lalulas suppressed the joy in her heart.
Lalulas: "Um... I'm sorry, we shouldn't be like this."
After hearing what Lalulas conveyed to him through her heart, Heimer, who was originally immersed in the joy of victory, calmed down instantly.
(Yeah... yes, what am I doing? In my current situation, I must remain calm and alert at all times... I can’t just indulge in joy like this...)
Chi Haimo: "Sorry."
The joy of winning the battle with Pokémon made Heimer temporarily let down his guard again, but it shouldn't happen, and it can't happen...
Afterwards, Heimer received the first badge of Sinnoh from Hyouta.
As for the very cold expression on Heimer's face, Piao Tai showed some doubts on his face.
However, since Hyota and Heimer were only the gym leader and challenger, Hyota did not ask too many questions.
