Everyone thought Bai Hong would order the Electric Dragon to fire the electromagnetic cannon, but he didn't: "Electric Dragon, Cotton Spores!"
Bu~
The electric dragon released cotton spores.
First, a large number of cotton-like clumps grow on the body surface.
Then scatter it in all directions.
Cotton Spore is a Grass-type status move that sticks to the opponent and greatly reduces their speed.
"Gardevoir, strong mind!"
Diantha came up with a solution on the spot: she had Gardevoir use Psychic to control the cotton spores and then return them to Ampharos.
However, she was oversimplifying things. At the same time, Bai Hong added a crucial instruction: "Strange radio waves!"
呲~
The electric dragon moves even faster.
Strange electrical waves suddenly emanated from the body surface.
From point to line.
Then, from lines to surfaces.
Then, we move on to the entire space inside the venue.
Strange electromagnetic waves, like an electric grid, connected the cotton spores together, constructing a huge and extremely complex electrical cage.
"I remember now, this is the Strange Cotton Spore. Bai Hong once used this move against Daigo's Metagross, which not only limited Metagross's speed but also lowered Metagross's Special Attack."
"Strange Cotton Spores? Who came up with this combo name? It's not a very nice name, but the meaning is simple and clear."
"Cotton spore plus weird radio waves, isn't that just weird cotton spore? Actually, this can be considered a tactic. If this strategy cannot be broken, speed and special attack will be greatly affected."
Listening to the heated discussion among the surrounding audience.
Daigo shrugged helplessly.
He was disgusted by the strange cotton spores back then, and now Karuno is also experiencing how troublesome the electric dragon is.
Gardevoir attempted to use its psychic powers to forcibly destroy the strange cotton spores that were spreading through the air and linked together by strange electromagnetic waves, but it found that it could not do so.
After finally managing to separate a dozen or so strange cotton spores, the strange electromagnetic waves burst forth and raged everywhere, pulling the cotton spores back together in no time.
Crackling
Gardevoir has been affected.
My arm got covered in cotton spores.
They were also struck by strange radio waves.
"Oops!"
Karuno panicked a little.
However, he quickly calmed down.
Now, Gardevoir's Speed and Special Attack both drop by two stages after being hit by this, but fortunately, it can still use Teleport, although it's a bit slower.
"I have a question. Isn't the Electric Dragon supposed to be a mobile turret? Why isn't it moving? It's been standing still for a long time."
"Ah, Ampharos really didn't move! I didn't even notice that. Facing Gardevoir's attack, it didn't budge an inch from beginning to end. That's terrifying!"
"It can't move?"
"I think it's because they don't want to move."
Attentive viewers noticed this.
The electric dragon definitely didn't move.
Too steady and experienced.
"This kid did it on purpose, didn't he? Making Ampharos stand still, putting pressure on Gardevoir without even realizing it." In fact, Steven had already noticed this, and he believed that Diantha had also noticed it.
"Gardevoir, Thunderbolt!" Diantha tried her best to stay calm; the most urgent task at hand was to destroy the Strange Cotton Spore.
Sizzle~
Gardevoir releases electricity.
Although it is not an Electric-type Pokémon, the electric current it releases is very strong and should be able to neutralize the strange electric waves covering the cotton spore, while also launching an attack on the Ampharos.
"Electromagnetic gun!"
Bai Hong suddenly gave the order.
What he needs is the right timing.
"Get out of the way!"
Karuno realized what was happening.
It's a pity it's too late.
The strange cotton spores are a trap.
You can either ignore the Strange Cotton Spores and remain vigilant against the Electro Dragon's electromagnetic cannon and super electromagnetic cannon, or destroy the Strange Cotton Spores, in which case you are very likely to be bombarded by the electromagnetic cannon.
It was obvious that neither method would be easy to win. Gardevoir was hit in the chest by the electromagnetic cannon before it could teleport, and its body was immediately paralyzed by the electric shock, making it unable to move for a short period of time.
"Electromagnetic gun!"
Finish off the enemy with the railgun.
That's really ruthless.
There is absolutely no chance of a comeback.
With a loud bang, Gardevoir, unable to withstand the Railgun, collapsed to the ground, motionless for a long time.
"Gardevoir is unable to battle, the winner is Bai Hong!!" The referee waited a while before making the judgment.
Chapter 49 caused a great sensation.
"I lost!"
Karuno accepted it readily.
This isn't the first time I've lost to him.
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly understood a lot, after all, he had just defeated Dan Di and won the title of the strongest champion not long ago.
"This was a great match."
Bai Hong isn't good at making polite conversation.
Especially after winning.
Besides being humble.
Or it's just polite talk.
"I also think this match was very exciting. The weird cotton spore strategy is really dirty." Daigo clapped.
Is it dirty?
Bai Hong smiled.
He casually scooped up the ball and retrieved the electric dragon.
"Using cotton spores as the connection point for the strange radio waves to maximize the range of influence of the entire radio waves, plus the presence of an electrical field, anyone who stays in the field will be affected. Do you think that's disgusting?"
Steven's analysis was spot on. Even though Metagross couldn't defeat Ampharos, he was forced to replace it with another Pokémon.
Karuno listened from the side, seemingly recalling the battle from just moments before, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
"see you later!"
Bai Hong turned and left.
The sixth round is estimated to be a long time away.
However, he still felt more comfortable staying in the waiting area and did not run to the front row to find a seat like Daigo.
Starting from the seventh round of the Miare Metropolitan Cup, doubles matches are introduced, which are more difficult than singles matches. However, no one expected that Haku would face Daigo in the sixth round. It is a pity that we will not see their doubles match.
"So fast?"
Daigo was a little disappointed.
Compared to singles.
Doubles is more fun.
After all, there aren't many opportunities to try.
"Then come on!"
Bai Hong's bottom hadn't even warmed up yet.
He then got up and walked into the arena.
According to the competition system.
The sixth round was still singles.
"What a lousy tournament format. I want to see Haku and Daigo's doubles match. Singles is just too boring."
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly want to watch their doubles match too. It's a pity that the format can't be changed. The problem is the random matchmaking; nobody knows who their next opponent will be."
Stop complaining!
Someone sighed.
Since it's already a done deal.
Then just relax and watch the game.
After the recent battle, Bai Hong's popularity seems to have increased. This is obviously due to his victory over Karuno, which has earned him recognition from many local viewers. In any case, this is a positive change.
He and Daigo walked into the arena together. Audience members around them were shouting Daigo's name, and then they heard Bai Hong's name being shouted from the other side. The two sides started competing against each other for no apparent reason.
