Chương 82: Is your move legal?

"Click! (High-speed movement, followed by sword dance!)" Lu Sha's order was slightly delayed, but climbing the waterfall across tens of meters wasn't fast enough to be done in an instant.

The red figure suddenly swayed, so fast that even the afterimage became blurry.

As the massive water column crashed down, the scyther had already transformed into a red lightning bolt, instantly creating a distance of tens of meters.

Without hesitation, it strictly carried out Lu Sha's second instruction.

"just!"

The red pincers drew sharp arcs in the air, and its body began to spin at an incredible speed. As the spinning speed increased, a visible aura rose around it, as if an invisible sword was being drawn from its sheath.

Seeing this, Lu Sha's eyes lit up.

Since he had already used it in a battle yesterday, he could only use the conventional command method, simply reading out the moves to Scizor.

As for the specifics of how it would be performed, he wasn't quite sure.

This kind of crazy, spinning sword dance can sometimes have surprising effects compared to conventional sword dances.

"Hehe, two layers of Agility, one layer of Swords Dance, I didn't expect Little Sand to be a tactical trainer."

Dorasena's smile deepened, but the oppressive aura only intensified.

"But it's no use! This isn't the World Trainer Tactics Tournament. Before the bond between me and my dragon, everything is futile!"

She waved her hand suddenly, as if she had entered a state of excitement:

"Since you want to compete in speed, then unleash an attack that covers the entire arena! Surf!"

"Meow!"

Dragonair roared to the sky, and countless raindrops seemed to be summoned, gathering wildly beneath it to form a wave that covered the entire venue. Starting from Dragonair's location, the wave crashed down towards Scizor.

"Crack! (Scizor, cleaves through with a series of slashes!)" Lu Sha's eyes flashed with amazement as he saw the giant wave, which was over ten meters wide, crashing towards him.

The sheer height of the wave, created by stacking environmental moves, truly made him feel the joy of the battle.

Unfortunately, he's a hardcore player when it comes to intensity.

This kind of showy display is useless to him!

Boom!!!

The red flash head-on head-on towards the blue chasm.

The two-layer high-speed movement gives the Scizor mantis extreme speed.

Adding another layer of Sword Dance doubles the damage of the combo.

The giant pincers swung, the first strike, the second strike!

The seemingly unstoppable, towering wave was actually torn open, creating a huge gap. The water rushed out to both sides, revealing the still-dazed Hakron behind.

The third consecutive slash was about to hit Hakuryu.

"Dragon's Dive!"

Dorasena uttered the name of the move softly at that moment.

Almost simultaneously, a phantom-like and ferocious giant dragon shadow rose up behind her and Hakuryu, instantly locking onto the Scizor in mid-air.

Lu Sha:???

Lu Sha: Why is there a dragon shadow behind you when you use Dragon Dive?

Lu Sha: Referee! She's cheating!

"Little Sandman, witness this! This is the bond between me and Dragonair, and the passion of trainers and Pokémon battling together!"

Dorasena raised her arms, and Hakron swooped down.

Boom!!!

The unparalleled figure of the Dragonair collided violently with the Scizor.

"just!"

The stalemate lasted less than two seconds, and to Lu Sha's astonishment, the Scizor had failed to win.

Isn't this a bit too much?

Even without considering the influence of Pokémon species, a near-Elite Four level Pokémon's stats are at least three times that of a Gym Leader level Pokémon.

With the addition of Sword Dance and Triple Slash, the attack's intensity is at least 10 times greater than Dragon Dive.

An attack with a 10-fold difference!

Referee, this synergy is a bit too overpowered.

boom!

Exhausted, the mantis flew backward, crashing heavily onto the muddy ground and sliding a long distance before coming to a stop.

"Snap! (Scizor, hang in there!)" Lu Sha took a deep breath and stared intently in the direction of Dorasena and Hakron.

So, the real thrill of battle you're talking about is when trainers personally go into battle and use cheat codes, right?

Fortunately, it was a close-quarters, head-on collision, and Hakron was also seriously injured.

But as long as Dorasena hasn't fallen, Hakron possesses limitless resilience.

Before the Scizor could even stand up, it had already fully recovered.

"Yay! (I can still... fight!)" In the mud, the scythe's figure trembled, yet it rose with extraordinary determination.

The cold rain mixed with mud slid down its red armor, making it look disheveled.

"Ha! (This battle is nothing compared to the previous ones!)" The Scizor stood up straight, raised its head, and stared at the Dragonair in the air.

It has been through countless battles, and every time it has ended up battered and bruised under the command of Hunter A.

This time, the enemy is very strong, not the dragon in front of us, but its master.

Its true strength is probably only comparable to that super-powered girl in the white dress, and it is stronger than all the enemies it has encountered before.

But it cannot lose.

If you lose, you have no value.

If it has no value, it will be discarded again...

"Click! (Well done!)" Seeing the Scizor stand up defiantly, Lu Sha was inexplicably touched.

He suddenly smiled, his gaze sweeping across the Scizor's panel, settling on a particular line of data: Sword Dance: Proficient (498/500) It was just one step away from victory.

Dorasena is very strong, but he's not at the point where he can't turn the tide.

He hates losing, and he senses that Scizor hates losing too.

"During battle, your opponent won't give you a chance to catch your breath!"

Dorasena's voice pierced through the rain, accompanied by her steady commands:

"Dragon's Breath!"

Before the words were even finished, a deep blue light rose from the bodies of both Hakuryu and Dorasena. Hakuryu opened its mouth wide and unleashed a deep blue breath!

"Crack! (Sword Dance!)" Lu Sha abruptly shook the rain off his head, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp, and his commands becoming more concise and forceful.

"just!"

The scyther didn't hesitate or try to dodge. It trusted the small figure of the gible wholeheartedly, and its body began to spin rapidly again.

Boom!!!

The deep blue dragon breath slammed into the rapidly spinning red top.

By using the airflow barrier created by its high-speed rotation, Scizor managed to completely block the dragon's breath from its body.

"Two sword dances. If the skill proficiency level is only proficient, this is probably the limit."

A hint of amazement flashed in Dorasena's eyes.

What amazed her was not the sword dance itself, since it's not surprising that one could be highly proficient in such a powerful amplification skill.

To her surprise, Lu Sha gave the order.

This was only the second day after he got the Scizor!

Moreover, Lu Sha shouldn't have had time to learn its moves since last night.

Scizor wasn't a Pokémon personally trained by Lu Sha. Any trainer would need a long time to get used to an unfamiliar Pokémon before they could battle it.

Reaching a consensus on command is secondary.

Most importantly, you have no idea which Pokémon moves are strong and which are weak.

Pokémon aren't trainers. Not all Pokémon are as smart as Lu Sha, knowing the level of each move they have and being able to explain all of them.

In this situation, the fact that he could command so efficiently already surpasses that of most of the graduates from Zhuqing Academy.

"He's a natural trainer. And he's a Dragon-type Pokémon too. It's a shame we're on different paths, otherwise I would have done anything to get him."

Dorasena sighed softly, a sharp glint appearing in her eyes. A meaningful smile curved her lips as she murmured to herself:

"Since you have this talent, I'll give you a push. The real fun of combat lies in the explosive power you unleash when you reach the pinnacle of battle."

"Little guy, let me see what kind of miracle you and this scythe can create when you're cornered!"

"I'll be watching!"
