Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 399 Defeating the Crystal Chandelier Spirit, Intermission!

At this moment, hiding in the pool was the best way for it to prevent the flames from causing high damage to it.

And indeed, the Scizor, diving headfirst into the pool, successfully dodged Chandelure's fire-breathing attack.

"Use Sword Dance!"

Qingyuan looked at the giant mantis that had hidden underwater and was completely unharmed.

With a sigh of relief, he loudly commanded the Scizor.

He now has a clear understanding of Scizor's role: to make Scizor constantly use Swords Dance.

Then, after three Swords Dances, let Scizor use Baton Pass to switch out another Pokémon in its hand to fight.

No matter who comes out, as long as it's not Scizor, it's fine. A four-times weakness to Fire is really unbearable!

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the scythe hiding in the water did not respond.

He simply performed his sword dance silently underwater.

"The Chandelier spirit has cast a curse!"

Looking at the scyther hiding underwater, Xia Qiu calmly gave commands to the Chandelure Spirit.

"Ooh~ Ah!"

Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, the Crystal Lantern Spirit cried out and fired a purple energy beam at the scythe underwater.

At the same time, when this energy was released, the aura of the Crystal Lamp Spirit immediately dropped by half!

After leaving the Crystal Chandelier Spirit's body, the purple energy ignored the water in the pool and flew straight towards the Scizor.

"Gurgle!"

Feeling the pain emanating from its body after being cursed, Scizor couldn't help but want to scream in agony.

However, because it was in the water, it could only produce a few bubbles in the end.

However, the Scizor, with its tenacious willpower, continued to use its swords dance underwater, even in this situation.

"The Crystal Chandelier Spirit will divide its power equally!"

Just as Scizor successfully used its third Swords Dance.

Before Qingyuan could even give the order to take over...

Xia Qiu, who had been keeping a close eye on the Scizor, quickly gave instructions to Chandelure.

"Ooh~ Ah!"

Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, the Crystal Lantern Spirit cried out and fired a pink beam of light at the Mantis at the bottom of the water.

The pink light touched the Scizor's body.

It instantly stole all of the Scizor's attack power.

Then, the pink light flashed in the air for a moment before splitting into two and flying towards Scizor and Chandelure.

After the Scizor merged with the pink light, it threw a punch and immediately realized that the pink light had taken away more than half of the attack power it gained from using Swords Dance.

"Scizor uses Baton Pass!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan could only helplessly give commands to the Scizor.

Half is fine, it's better than Scizor getting one-shotted by Flamethrower.

Hearing this, Scizor, though unwilling, could only obey Qingyuan's command and use Baton Pass.

The Scizor transformed into a white light and returned to the Poké Ball on Qingyuan's waist.

One of the Poké Balls hanging from Qingyuan's waist suddenly opened, releasing the Pokémon inside.

"Ya-dong?"

The dazed king looked at the scene before it and called out in confusion, "Wasn't it taken back by Qingyuan?"

And what's with this powerful force inside my body?

"Hahaha, heaven is on my side!"

"Slowking has used Trick Space!"

Looking at the Dodo King in the arena, Qingyuan laughed and gave commands to the Dodo King.

"Ya-dong!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Dazed King shouted and launched a white ball of light directly into the sky above the arena.

After rising to a certain height, the ball of light exploded, transforming into a wall of light that enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Gan!"

Upon seeing this, Xia Qiu couldn't help but swear.

Damn it, Qingyuan turned the tide of a great situation.

He worked so hard to build up this advantage!

"What a pity that the power has been divided back to the familiar one. Come back, Crystal Chandelier Spirit!"

Seeing that the Dazed King had already opened the magic space, Xia Qiu said with some regret and prepared to take back the Crystal Lamp Spirit.

"It's not that simple! Slowking used Waterfall to send it away!"

Xia Qiu watched as he prepared to pick up the Poké Ball and put away Chandelure.

Qingyuan shouted and quickly gave orders to the dazed king.

"Ya-dong!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Dazed King shouted and used the speed of the Crystal Lamp Spirit obtained through the Trick Space.

He flashed in front of the Crystal Chandelier Spirit, his right hand, already wrapped in water energy, delivered a powerful uppercut directly to the Crystal Chandelier Spirit.

With the added attack power from the Baton Pass, Waterfall is twice as effective against Chandelure, and Chandelure already had half its health left after using a curse.

Therefore, Slowking's Waterfall Climb directly took away Chandelure without any suspense.

"Chandelier is unable to battle, Slowking wins!"

"Because Xia Qiu has already lost three Pokémon to battle!"

"Therefore, the match is now at halftime!"

The referee, seeing the Crystal Chandelier Spirit lying on the floating platform, waved his command flag and loudly announced the verdict.

"...Come back, Chandelier Spirit, you've done very well!"

Looking at the Crystal Chandelier Spirit, who had lost its ability to fight, Xia Qiu remained silent for a short while.

He took out a Poké Ball and put it away.

Unexpectedly, Slowking's speed was so fast after replacing the speed of the Crystal Chandelier!

"Wow! (Wow, that's fast!)"

Meanwhile, after defeating the Crystal Lamp Spirit, Dazed King ran straight to Qingyuan's side and said with a look of surprise.

It has never been so fast in all its life.

"Now you know how powerful the magic space is, right? You'll have to practice it properly from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan smiled and said to the dazed king.

"Ya-dong!"

Upon hearing this, Dazed King nodded seriously.

It didn't feel anything when fighting Night Demon and Nightshade, but it wasn't until fighting Chandelure this time that Slowking felt the terrifying boost that Trick Room brought it.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it, since both the Night Demon and the Wandering Night Demon are spirits whose core revolves around magic space.

The fact that elves rely on Trick Room as their core tactic means that they are not very fast.

"Alright, come back now. It's halftime. I need to take a good look at the tactics for the next part!"

Seeing the delighted look on Slowking's face, Qingyuan took out a Poké Ball and put it away, saying...

After putting away Slowking's Poké Ball, Qingyuan glanced at Xia Qiu's retreating figure as she walked towards the rest room.

He turned and walked towards the lounge.

He currently holds the advantage; all he needs to do is maintain that position.

Even though Xia Qiu's three Pokémon all have the same Destiny Move, he can still keep two Pokémon alive even if he trades one for one!
