Chapter 375: Campus Beauty Competition
"Fire Vortex!"
The Qixi Bluebird spread its wings, and the blazing flames spun rapidly like a nimble python, rushing towards the giant salt stone spirit.
Wherever the vortex of flames passed, the air was burned and distorted, and the powerful heat made the trainers watching the battle around take a few steps back.
The salt stone giant was tightly wrapped in flames, and the salt crystals on its body gradually melted under the high temperature, making a "sizzling" sound.
It roared in pain, but was unable to make any effective evasive moves due to its confusion.
Flame Vortex, a fire-type special attack move, has a power of 30 and does not deal much damage, but its additional effects are very practical.
The target is bound for 4 to 5 turns. The Pokémon in the bound state will continue to suffer from the intense vortex damage and cannot be replaced.
This skill is even more powerful than the blocking skill used by the Salt Stone Giant just now. It can not only restrain it and prevent it from leaving the field, but also cause continuous damage.
"Bang bang bang~"
The salt stone giant struggled painfully under the scorching flames. The rocks on its body were cracked by the high temperature, and the sound of the rocks breaking pierced the entire venue.
Every time it tried to gather energy to launch an attack, the chaotic state would cause it to hit itself hard, and its thick arms would smash into its hard body with a dull sound.
"Saltstone Djinn, hold on!" The trainer on the opposite side's voice was filled with anxiety and unwillingness, and the veins on his forehead were slightly bulging.
This was one of the few orders he could issue. Upon hearing this, the Salt and Stone Giant erected the transparent protective barrier, temporarily halting the attack of the Qixi Bluebird.
But what's the use? The Salt Stone Giant is now in a situation where defeat is inevitable, and there is no use at all.
The Qixi Bluebird flashed in front of it again like a ghost. "Scare!" Zhang Heng gave the order decisively.
The bluebird cried sharply on Qixi Festival, and the eyes of the Salt Stone Giant Spirit, which were already distracted by confusion, were instantly filled with fear.
The protective barrier froze in mid-air before shattering and dissipating, and its arms drooped limply as it fell into a cowering state.
"No, how could this happen..." The trainer's face turned red like a ripe tomato, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his hands clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.
"Salt, quick, use salt!"
He almost roared his orders, but all he got in response was the painful roar of the Salt Stone Giant in the vortex of fire.
The state of confusion broke out again, and the salt and stone giant lost his composure again. The huge fist hit himself, and he staggered and almost fell.
The flames of the vortex of fire greedily licked the salt stone giant, and the continuous damage continued to reduce its physical strength.
The Qixi Bluebird, with its increased speed, kept circling around it, and when the opportunity arose, it would use "Scare" to interrupt any possible movement of the Salt Stone Giant.
"This is impossible... my Saltrock Djinn..." The trainer's voice was full of disbelief, his body trembling slightly, looking at the Saltrock Djinn in desperate situation on the field, almost in despair.
The Salt Stone Giant's health bar quickly dropped to zero under the multiple attacks of fire damage, chaotic self-harm, and fright skills.
Its body fell down with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust and causing exclamations from the crowd watching around.
"Saltrock has lost its ability to fight. Trainers, please send out your Pokémon!" The electronic voice of the drone Rotom echoed in the venue.
The trainer's face was dejected at the moment. He was exhausted by Zhang Heng's series of tactics. He didn't want to continue this painful battle. Without any hesitation, he threw the last Poké Ball in his hand out.
As the Poké Ball opened, it was the Rib Squirtle that had fought fiercely with Swampert before. As soon as it appeared, it looked around vigilantly, and its dark blue shell was covered with scars.
In fact, it’s not Zhang Heng’s fault for using these seemingly “dirty” routines to break through the tricky salt stone giant.
Faced with the Salt Stone Giant's abnormal characteristics and powerful defense, there are not many effective offensive means, and the tactics he adopted are the safest and most direct way of fighting.
After all, if the flying Qixi Bluebird is hit by the salted skill, the situation will be really difficult to recover.
Of course, Zhang Heng knew that Qixi Bluebird had another way to deal with the Salt Stone Giant more quickly, which was to use the Flame Vortex combined with the Song of the End.
But if he did this, although he could defeat the Salt Stone Giant, the Qixi Bluebird would lose its combat ability due to the effect of the Song of the End, and he would lose the game.
Zhang Heng looked up at the senior student opposite him, only to see that his eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness. So Zhang Heng did not rush to give any instructions, but just snapped his fingers.
The Qixi Bluebird understood what he meant and instantly flapped its wings and flew high. Its broad wings flapped vigorously, bringing up a breeze.
Brilliant pink fairy energy quickly gathered around it. Strangely, this energy also emitted a soft and holy glow like moonlight. The light floated towards the rib turtle like silk threads, enveloping it.
Just a moment later, the rib turtle shrouded in light seemed to have lost its strength and fell to the ground with a bang. The light in its eyes also went out, and it lost its ability to fight.
Perhaps the battle between Tanabata and Saltrock Giant, two Pokémon known for their defense, was too long and boring. The people who were originally watching the game with great interest gradually lost their patience, and now there are only a few left.
Zhang Heng looked up in confusion, only to see a crowd of people surging towards the battle area in Area C. He wondered what exciting match was going on over there that attracted so much attention.
As Zhang Heng approached the edge of the field, people's discussions rose and fell.
"Is it the matchup between senior Ke Xin and this year's freshman Yi Shu?" A student's face was full of excitement, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, it feels like a competition for school beauties." The people nearby quickly agreed, stretching their necks for fear of missing any exciting moments.
Zhang Heng was a little surprised when he heard these discussions. He was surprised that Yishu, a freshman, could make it here. You know, her freshman ranking was not high.
But he also found it quite interesting. Since arriving at this institution, he'd been so busy with his duties that he hadn't really made many friends. Unexpectedly, he knew both of the opponents in this duel.
It is human nature to join in the fun, so Zhang Heng walked towards the stadium.
But when they arrived at the stadium, they found that it was already packed with people. Behind both of them were groups of fanatical fans, each holding a cheering sign and shouting at the top of their lungs.
Zhang Heng tried very hard but couldn't even squeeze in through a crack.
"Qixi Bluebird, Cotton Defense." Zhang Heng suddenly had an idea and shouted to Qixi Bluebird.
The Qixi Bluebird shook its body lightly, dropping a piece of cotton wool. The cotton wool instantly expanded and solidified in the air and floated under Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng jumped up and sat steadily on it. Then Qixi Bluebird used its flying energy to slowly lift him into the air, as if it had created a soft sofa in the air for him. His vision suddenly became wider.
At this moment, the drone Rotom was in the middle of the arena, and a clear electronic voice rang out: "This match will be a 1v1 singles match."
"Bang~Bang~" Two dazzling white lights flashed, and Yishu sent out the ball sea lion first.
Senior Ke Xin sent out a bug-type Pokémon called Snowmoth, which has a pure white body, a pair of translucent wings that shimmer with a strange luster, cold blue eyes, and large feather-like antennae.
As soon as the snow moth appeared, a biting cold wind blew at the scene. The originally enthusiastic audience couldn't help but shiver and instantly regained some rationality.
