Chapter 481: Double Battle
Chapter 481: Double Battle
The last sight Sylveon saw before losing consciousness was the gigantic tornado that had been hurtling towards it.
Seeing that Vivillon easily defeated a Sylveon with much greater strength, Ribombee's eyes sparkled even brighter.
"Ribombee, Ribombee!"
Idol, idol, you're so amazing!
Ribombee, like a cheerful little bee, flapped its dainty wings and circled around Vivillon, flying up and down.
"Vivillon, Vivillon."
Ah, it's nothing special.
Vivillon felt a bit embarrassed by Ribombee's exaggerated expressions and theatrics, so it put on a stoic face.
Once they reached the 30th floor and beyond, the strength of the defending Pokémon was now on par with Vivillon. They all had excellent stats. However, they are not as good as Vivillon in terms of cultivation, so it is quite easy for Vivillon to deal with them.
This is the biggest difference between Pokémon with trainers and Pokémon without trainers.
These defending Pokémon were bred by various breeding facilities, and they were known as "bred Pokémon."
Although these bred Pokémon were trained to maintain their best condition, they couldn't compete with the experience and battle skills of dedicated trained Pokémon, like Vivillon.
"Alright, let's move on to the next floor quickly," Yuga said, shaking his head in resignation at Ribombee's fervent admiration for Vivillon.
On the 39th and 40th floors, Yuga encountered a Flying-type Scyther and a Pinsir. These two Pokémon were slightly stronger than Sylveob, and they were now on par with Vivillon in terms of level.
As Bug-type Pokémon, the average Vivillon would have difficulty facing off against Scyther and Pinsir. However, Yuga's Vivillon was different. Not only was it exceptionally talented, but it had also consumed the Enchanted Honey made by Vespiqueen. Its overall conditions were just as good as Scyther and Pinsir.
Defeating Scyther and Pinsir wasn't challenging for Vivillon. While the levels of these Pokémon were similar, Vivillon had a significant advantage in terms of potential, skills, and type effectiveness.
Originally, according to Yuga's estimate, the strength of the Pokémon on the 41st floor and beyond should have seen a substantial increase. However, on the 41st floor, he was greeted by a Nidoking and a Nidoqueen.
"Please use two Pokémon to defeat the Pokémon before you," a prompt sounded as Nidoking and Nidoqueen appeared.
Yuga was completely caught off guard as he hadn't expected a double battle on the 41st floor. Both Nidoking and Nidoqueen had statistics that were on par with Sylveon on the 38th floor, and they were weaker than the Scyther and Pinsir on the 39th and 40th floors.
However, double battles emphasized the coordination between two Pokémon. Perhaps the Nidoking and Nidoqueen before him were a couple, and their strong bond could make their teamwork more effective.
Upon hearing the prompt, Nidoking and Nidoqueen simultaneously roared angrily at Yuga, their intimidating appearances trying to unnerve him.
Facing two Poison-type Pokémon, Yuga immediately released his Chimecho. Chimecho was a Psychic-type Pokémon and had a clear advantage against Poison-types. Additionally, its ability, Levitate, made it immune to Ground-type moves, further solidifying its position in this battle.
Upon seeing that Yuga's Chimecho and Vivillon were prepared, Nidoking and Nidoqueen opened their mouths and unleashed Ice Beam. These two beams quickly merged together and headed towards Vivillon, who was vulnerable due to her Flying type, which was weak against Ice type attacks.
These two Pokémon were well aware of type advantages and didn't use Ground type moves against Vivillon and Chimecho, the first onw had a Flying type and the second one had Levitate ability. So, they opted for Ice type moves, exploiting Vivillon's vulnerability towards Ice-type moves.
In response, Chimecho swiftly moved in front of Vivillon as soon as she noticed the incoming Ice-type beams. Countless transparent Light Screen instantly converged like shimmering fish scales, dividing the entire battle room into two sections. Vivillon and Chimecho were on one side, while Nidoking and Nidoqueen were on the other.
The quality of the Light Screens used by Vivillon and Sylveon in their battles paled in comparison to the professional-grade Light Screens created by Chimecho. Upon witnessing this scene, Vivillon couldn't help but admire Chimecho's incredible control. While Vivillon was also capable of creating Light Screens, she understood the level of mastery required for the situation at hand.
Nidoking and Nidoqueen's double Ice Beam attacks were easily blocked by Chimecho's Light Screens and dissipated harmlessly.
As Chimecho held up the Light Screens, Vivillon's eyes gleamed with a deep Violet light. After the Light Screens were erected by Chimecho, two psychic beams shot toward Nidoking and Nidoqueen like sharp blades.
While the Light Screens in front of Chimecho continued to shimmer, they blocked the Ice Beam attacks from Nidoking and Nidoqueen but didn't obstruct Vivillon's psychic onslaught against them.
Being Poison-type Pokémon, Nidoking and Nidoqueen were weak to Psychic-type moves. Although they managed to raise their arms to block Vivillon's psychic attack, they couldn't escape unscathed. The injuries were unavoidable.
Frustrated by their failed ranged attacks, Nidoking and Nidoqueen roared and lifted their sturdy hind legs, charging towards Vivillon and Chimecho for a physical confrontation.
However, Vivillon had no intention of letting these two colossal beasts engage in close combat. She quickly released numerous Electro Web, which spread across the entire floor of the battle room in no time.
While the Electro Web created by Vivillon couldn't harm the Ground-type Nidoking and Nidoqueen, they effectively restricted their movements.
Electric-type Pokémon typically produced nets composed of pure Electric-type energy. In contrast, Bug-type Pokémon like Vivillon Electro Web with small amounts of Electric-type energy attached to their own silk threads. While the damage inflicted by Bug-type Pokémon's nets was not as potent as those created by Electric-type Pokémon, they could serve unique purposes in certain situations.
Electro Web from Electric-type Pokémon simply dissipated upon contact with Ground-type Pokémon. In contrast, Bug-type Pokémon's nets could stick to Ground-types, even though the Electric-type energy dissipated. In such cases, the function of Bug-type nets resembled that of Sticky Web.
It's worth noting that the Electro Web move was a technique rarely learned by any Pokémon outside the Electric and Bug types.
