Chapter 71: The Challenge
【Fire Cloud Chariot】.
With a power of 140, it would be considered a powerful fire-type move even in the world of Rock Kingdom.
Combined with Sonic the Hound's ability [Focus], physical attack is increased by 100% on the first turn. Which little glutton hasn't experienced the pain of being taken down by Sonic the Hound's 280-power [Fire Cloud Car] in the first turn?
Although Eevee doesn't have such outrageous characteristics, its powerful Flamethrower and type advantage make it almost as good.
Poor Bulbasaur lost its ability to battle without even getting a single hit back.
Yes, this is one of the skill stones that Luo Yan summoned with the help of the Star Compass. After experimenting, he was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the skill stones in the Kingdom of Rock can be used by Pokémon, and like Pokémon, they are automatically learned through magic.
However, the difference is that Pokémon are different from the Pokémon in the Kingdom of Rock. Pokémon that do not carry magic power cannot "charge" at all. In other words, Pokémon cannot recover magic power in battle to continue using the skills of the Kingdom of Rock. They only have ten magic power points available for use.
Take [Fire Chariot] as an example. This skill costs five magic points, which means that Eevee can only use this skill twice in the entire battle. After the ten magic points are used up, she can only use her original skills.
There are two ways to learn a skill using a skill stone: one is to restore it directly with a Wishing Star, and the other is for Luo Yan to use Creation Magic to create a Magic Crystal Teleportation Point, which can also restore the Pokémon's magic points.
Although it seemed complicated, Luo Yan knew very well that this was already extremely absurd. After all, letting Pokémon use the skills of the Kingdom of Rock was an unimaginable thing in itself.
Seeing the audience's shock and excitement at Bulbasaur being instantly defeated by Eevee, Luo Yan simply smiled and waved.
This is nothing.
It's just a fire-type ultimate move. You guys haven't heard of [Flame Shield] and [Listening Bridge], have you?
Back in the waiting area, Luo Yan immediately received the attention of all the contestants.
If they had previously harbored the idea of defeating Luo Yan, after seeing Luo Yan's performance in this round, all that remained in their eyes was solemnity and respect.
This is no longer an opponent that can be defeated through short-term efforts and clever tricks. The overwhelming dominance shown by Shining Eevee in this game, where he won three consecutive matches, directly gave everyone present a shock and made them truly face the gap between themselves and Luo Yan.
Unlike the other contestants, Shen Yanqiu walked over with a smile. "Impressive, Luo Luo. I didn't expect you to have such a hidden trump card."
Luo Yan's lips twitched. "Could you please stop calling me Luo Luo?"
"What's wrong?"
"The way you call me always gives me the urge to use Thunder Crescent Slash."
"Hahaha." Shen Yanqiu smiled and then walked to the rest area with Luo Yan. "The next match is in the afternoon, so it seems I don't need to worry about you anymore. With your fighting power, Ibrahimovic, there aren't many people who can threaten you. I guess I can't hold back either."
"Oh ho, so you're saying you've already got the victory in the bag?" Luo Yan looked at Shen Yanqiu in surprise.
He was met with a beautiful eye roll from Shen Yanqiu. "Come on, by the way, how did you teach Eevee to use Flame Wheel? Is it really a special characteristic of Shiny Pokémon, as the commentators said?"
"Uh...you can interpret it that way." Luo Yan thought for a moment and accepted the guess.
Shiny Pokémon do have many unique characteristics, and most of them have not yet been discovered by the world.
For example, a professor once discovered that Shiny Tentacruel can learn a variety of Ice-type moves, and Shiny Weezing can learn some Psychic-type moves. These are all very exciting and puzzling major discoveries.
With such a successful precedent, it's not so unacceptable that Eevee, which already has multiple different types of evolutions, can use Fire-type moves due to the unique nature of Shiny Pokémon.
This time, Shiny Eevee is likely to trend on social media again.
The afternoon's round of 16 matches was not unexpected for Luo Yan.
His opponent was the third-place finisher from another city. He had already played all his cards to get this far, so even though he tried his best, he couldn't defeat Luo Yan's Eevee and once again suffered the same fate as the previous finisher, being defeated in a three-on-one battle.
As evening fell, the Beginner League reached its first climax.
With the quarterfinals decided, the three challengers from other regions finally got to make their appearance!
To ensure fairness, this challenge match will be conducted by drawing lots. The names of the eight finalists will be put into a box, and then the three challengers will draw their opponents.
The audience, commentators, and netizens alike held their breath, hoping that one of the three challengers would draw Luo Yan and deliver another spectacular match.
Unfortunately, as the three Poké Balls were opened, Luo Yan's name did not appear. Instead, three other contestants were drawn, and each of them had a very interesting expression, especially the contestant who was about to be challenged by Shen Yanqiu, who looked like he was about to cry.
No wonder. After finally making it to the quarterfinals, being kicked out before you can even settle in is unacceptable to anyone.
As for defeating Shen Yanqiu, well, he wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
The challenge begins.
All three challengers displayed extremely strong fighting power, winning three matches in a row: Wang Kai's Onix, Li Wenxiu's Snorlax, and Shen Yanqiu's Dratini, directly pushing the atmosphere of the evening to a climax.
But this was not the climax of the night, because after the challenger battle, the new top eight contestants would begin to match their opponents in the quarterfinals. When Luo Yan's photo and Li Wenxiu's photo appeared in the same column, the scene immediately erupted in cheers!
"Snorlax?" Luo Yan turned his head slightly to look at Li Wenxiu not far away, only to see that the other party was also staring at him, his face full of fighting spirit.
I thought winning the Beginner League would be a piece of cake, but I never expected to face such a high-level opponent in the quarterfinals.
Luo Yan shook his head slightly, but the smile on his face did not disappear.
They maintained their smiles as they entered the second day of the battle.
Luo Yan and Li Wenxiu walked to their respective command positions and stood still, slowly looking at each other.
"Luo Yan, it's an honor to fight against you. Defeating you is one of my goals in coming here. I lost to Sister Shen in the previous selection competition, and I have to win back. So I'm sorry, I can't let you stop me here."
