Chapter 445 A Tricky Encounter
"Scorpion King, fly into the air and use your sharp stones to attack!"
Ash's voice echoed across the field, and Gliscor immediately leaped up, using its powerful jumping ability to soar into the air. It spread its wings, glided through the air, and surveyed the entire battlefield.
At the same time, the Scorpion King's pincers glowed and condensed into countless sharp rocks. With a swing of its pincers, the sharp rocks rained down on the Electric Monster like a storm.
Denji narrowed his eyes, appearing unusually calm in the face of this sudden attack.
"Electrocrystal Monster, defend!"
The Electrified Beast crossed its arms in front of its chest, a faint green light emanating from its body, forming a solid protective barrier. Sharp stones rained down on the barrier, but could not budge it in the slightest.
In the first round of probing, neither side gained any advantage.
This King Scorpion... is not easy to deal with.
Denji stared intently at the Scorpion King hovering in the air, lost in thought.
If it's Raichu, with its wide range of moves, it can find a way to counter both melee and ranged attacks.
However, Electivire is different. With its relatively limited coverage, it has difficulty attacking its opponent when its electric-type moves are completely blocked, which undoubtedly puts it at a disadvantage.
We must find a way to get Scorpion King close to its opponent; only in close combat will Electivire have a chance to unleash its power.
Dianci quickly devised a tactic in his mind.
"Electric Beast, use a piercing sound!"
Dianci's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable resolve.
The Electric Demon Beast roared to the sky, emitting sharp and piercing sound waves that swept towards the Scorpion King like invisible blades.
The piercing sound not only lowers the opponent's defenses but also delivers a strong mental shock, disrupting the Scorpion King's actions.
Ash frowned slightly. He immediately realized Denji's intention: to force him to make a choice—either to retaliate quickly or to endure it.
Either choice would cause Scorpio to lose the initiative and fall into a passive position.
He knew that Denji wanted to force him to retaliate, to get Scorpion King closer to Electabuzz, thus creating an opportunity for close combat.
Since that's the case, then so be it!
A sharp glint flashed in Ash's eyes.
Instead of avoiding it, he walked into the "trap" set up by the electrician.
"Gliscor, don't dodge! Charge straight in and use Fire Fang!" Ash's voice was filled with determination, as if he had staked everything on this one attack.
Upon hearing the command, the Scorpion King did not hesitate for a moment. It roared angrily, and despite the ear-piercing sound that seemed to tear the soul apart, it flapped its wings and transformed into a purple lightning bolt, charging straight towards the Electric Beast.
Flames burned wildly on its sharp fangs, drawing a scorching trail in the air as if to incinerate everything.
"They're here!" A glint flashed in Denji's eyes, and a smile curved his lips.
This is the opportunity he's been waiting for!
Scorpion King was incredibly fast, reaching Electivire in the blink of an eye.
"Electrify Beast, now! Use Brick Break!" Denji's voice boomed like thunder, carrying an undeniable authority.
The Electric Demon Beast let out a deafening roar, its muscles bulging, and its thick arms glowing with a dazzling white light. Like a giant axe splitting the heavens and earth, it slashed fiercely at the Scorpion King with immense force.
This attack gathered all the power of the Electric Beast, as if it wanted to split the Scorpion King in two!
However, Ash reacted even faster, seemingly having already guessed Denji's plan.
"Gliscor, X-Scissors!" Almost at the same instant Denji gave the order, Ash's voice rang out as well.
In a flash, the Scorpion King's pincers traced an arcane path in the air, crossing to form a giant "X" shape, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, mercilessly slashing at the Electric Monster like the Grim Reaper's scythe.
Activating both Flame Fang and Cross Scissors simultaneously is something Gliscor can do. Not only will there be no conflict, but it also gives it a huge advantage when facing Electivire, which can only use one move because its type is completely countered.
“Gli——!!”
The Scorpion King let out a clear and sharp cry, as if announcing its victory.
The cross-shaped shears broke through Electabuzz's Brick Break attack first, and the "X"-shaped cold light slashed straight into Electabuzz's chest, leaving two shocking wounds.
Immediately afterwards, Flame Fang arrived as expected, scorching hot, and bit down hard on Electivire's shoulder.
boom--!
Double attack, both hit!
"Roar--!!"
The Electrified Beast let out a painful roar, its body trembling violently.
It felt a tremendous force impacting its body, a sharp pain shooting through its chest and shoulders, and its strength rapidly waning.
Denji gritted his teeth, watching Electivire being hit repeatedly by Scorpion King on the field, feeling extremely anxious.
Although he had anticipated that Electivire would suffer considerable damage if Ash chose to attack, the fact that both attacks landed squarely was still somewhat beyond his expectations.
This is troublesome...
Denji pondered to himself.
The electric monster's stamina was rapidly depleting, and waves of excruciating pain kept emanating from the wounds on its chest and shoulders, making its movements sluggish.
Denji knew that if no action was taken, Electabuzz would likely be defeated quickly.
This can't go on...
We must seize this one and only opportunity!
Denji quickly made a judgment and decisively issued the order: "Electromagnetic Beast, use the detonator behind you to grab Scorpion King!"
With a roar, the Electric Demon Beast unleashed two black detonators on its back, resembling cables, which suddenly extended like two flexible tentacles, wrapping around the nearby Scorpion King.
"Gli?!" King Scorpion exclaimed in surprise, completely unprepared for Electivire's move.
Caught off guard, its body was tightly bound by the detonator, rendering it unable to move.
Scorpion King struggled desperately, waving its pincers in an attempt to break free from the detonator's grip.
However, the power of the electric monster far exceeded its expectations; the detonator tightened more and more, making it feel suffocated.
"So, when fighting Electabuzz, the key is to figure out how to exploit the opponent's freely movable detonators in close combat?"
"But Ash should be fine, right? After all, he's battled Electivire so many times. Ash can't just rush in without any plan, can he?"
The reactions of Xiaoguang and Xiaogang in the stands were immediately taken seriously.
"Ignore the Electrifying Beast's detonators, use Ultimate Impact directly!"
