This unexpected turn of events wasn't just confusing Zi Ming.
Even the spectators outside the arena were bewildered.
After all, this unique battle was something they'd never seen before. They'd never witnessed anything like it before. The attacking Pokémon was clearly Scyther, yet it was Scyther that was suffering more damage.
"What happened?"
Countless thoughts raced through Zi Ming's mind.
Meanwhile, the spectators outside the arena pulled out their Pokédexs.
The Pokédex quickly found information about the Seed Iron Ball, and even the few trainers noticed the blade in Scyther's hand.
"Look, the blade in Scyther's hand is taking more damage than its body is."
"Could it be that that Pokémon can't be attacked at close range?"
As more and more spectators voiced these thoughts, Zi Ming realized this as well.
But it was too late. Under the continuous barrage of attacks, Scyther's attacks were indeed getting heavier, but the damage it suffered was also gradually increasing.
The Seed Iron Ball's ability was working perfectly at this moment.
A nightmare for all physical attackers! "Your Scyther is indeed very strong, but you still don't understand the characteristics of my Seed Iron Ball."
"Why not defeat your opponent effortlessly?"
Bai Yu's lips curled into a slight smile.
But in Zi Ming's eyes, that smile was nothing short of mockery.
He had already prepared to deal with Scyther from the beginning; this guy was doing it on purpose.
"Even so, your Seed Iron Ball isn't the same..."
Before Zi Ming could finish speaking, he heard Bai Yu's next battle command.
"Seed Iron Ball, use Root."
Several vines appeared on Seed Iron Ball's body, sticking into the ground, and the injuries it had sustained in the battle were healing at a visible speed.
In contrast, Scyther's injuries showed no signs of healing, and its fighting spirit was gradually eroding.
One was constantly recovering its stamina,
while the other was like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to crumble at the slightest touch.
This stark contrast left Zi Ming momentarily stunned! "You—your fighting style—it's disgusting! What kind of trainer are you? Have the guts to fight me fair and square!!"
Zi Ming had never encountered this type of fighting style before.
It directly impacted his previously unwavering confidence; now he felt like he'd swallowed a fly, utterly repulsive.
Zi Ming's face darkened considerably. In this situation, his Scyther was utterly powerless.
Fortunately, he knew the effect of the Seed Iron Ball's ability and how to counter it.
Having learned his lesson once, he refused to believe he'd suffer the same fate again!
"What kind of trainer are you?"
"Isn't this how trainers fight?"
Bai Yu recalled his predecessor's previous fighting style,
which was also the most favored fighting style in this world.
All they do is attack relentlessly, rarely employing tactics. Even when they do, it's just relying on dodges and quick reflexes, constantly trusting their own Pokémon.
What kind of Pokémon battle is this?
A true Pokémon battle should look like this:
starting with entry hazards, then
using annoying moves to create an advantage. Utilizing weather and various skills to create an advantage, even a winning one! That's a true Pokémon battle.
"Come back, Scyther."
Zi Ming, assuming it was his carelessness, recalled the Scyther, which was almost losing its will to fight.
He then took out his second Pokémon.
"Next, it's your turn, Pidgeot~"
The next second, Zi Ming threw the Poké Ball in his hand.
A flash of white light, and Pidgeot appeared on the field with a domineering posture, flapping its wings.
The Kanto Region's signature bird.
Also one of Zi Ming's ace Pokémon! Ads by Pubfuture Pubfuture Ads Before Zi Ming could even issue a command, the sharp rocks on the field slammed into Pidgeot.
Pidgeot hadn't even reacted before taking the damage from the Invisible Rock. It had
just entered the field and already taken tons of damage.
This sudden turn of events left Zi Ming stunned again; he hadn't even seen Bai Yu issue any commands.
The spectators outside the field also looked at Bai Yu in disbelief, all wanting to know what had happened.
"Invisible Rock~"
"I remember now."
Nurse Joy, standing to the side, suddenly remembered something.
She had read about Invisible Rock before; it was a rock formation on the field.
Whenever the opponent switched Pokémon, they would be hit by the rocks.
Because the rocks were released instantly, few Pokémon could dodge the attack.
However, this was the first time she had seen such a move in a Pokémon battle, and she couldn't immediately recall the specifics of Invisible Rock.
The spectators were also constantly flipping through their Pokédex entries and found information about the effects of Invisible Rock.
This obscure move was something they had never seen before.
They had initially thought it was a joke, but it turned out they were the ones making the joke.
"Seed Iron Ball, use Beam Cannon!"
Just as Zi Ming was still wondering if he was seeing things,
Seed Iron Ball had already charged up its Beam Cannon. A silver light condensed in front of Seed Iron Ball, sweeping over Pidgeot's figure.
Caught off guard, Pidgeot was blasted out of the arena.
Zi Ming's mentality collapsed even more at this moment. He immediately took out a Poké Ball and recalled Pidgeot. He
turned and fled the arena.
"This is not a Pokémon battle at all!"
"What kind of battle is this!"
"What kind of skills are these? Why is that Pokémon so strange!"
These were the only thoughts in Zi Ming's mind.
The battle experience he had accumulated over the years completely collapsed at this moment.
He felt that the opponent he was fighting was not a normal trainer at all.
He had never lost like this in his life. It was not because the opponent's strength was insurmountable, but because the opponent's fighting style made him feel disgusted, nauseous, and even unable to muster the desire to fight. If
he attacked, his Pokémon would be hurt. If he
didn't attack, he would just wait to be beaten.
The opponent could keep recovering, and there was that rock, ready to be used.
If he could choose the battle again,
he would never fight Bai Yu, never! This kind of battle is disgusting!
As Zi Ming left,
the atmosphere at the scene became eerily quiet.
Everyone's eyes were on Bai Yu.
This kind of battle had struck them hard.
It was the first time they had ever seen a Pokémon battle like this.
However, neither Stealth Rock nor Seed Iron Ball's ability were
commonly known in the Kanto Region. Stealth Rock's TM was only available in the Unova Region, and Seed Iron Ball was practically untouchable in the Kanto Region.
After all, Seed Iron Ball was a very basic Pokémon with very low popularity.
"Seed~"
Seed Iron Ball looked at Bai Yu.
It had never experienced a battle like this before.
It had won too easily; it hadn't even used many moves to defeat the Scyther and Pidgeot.
