Chapter 513: Burning Insects Subverting the Basic Laws of the World
Some things in the elf world are very scientific, and some are quite unscientific.
For example, each region has its own electric mouse.
From Pikachu in Kanto to Baboo in Galar, without exception, they are all rat spirits that can discharge electricity.
What's even more unscientific is that they are all first-class cute creatures.
Among so many "house mice", the electric flying squirrel is not particularly eye-catching.
In terms of power, it is not as good as Leiqiu and Babu Tubo. In terms of cuteness, it is also not as good as Babu Tubo...
Sorry, the fluffy bobblehead is just too cute.
Even the equally inconspicuous Pachlitz left the legend of the White Devil in the history of battles.
But even so, the electric flying squirrel has its own uniqueness - it is the only house mouse that can fly.
As we all know, being able to fly can sometimes solve a lot of troubles.
"Ji Mo!"
As a crisp cry sounded, the yellow and black electric flying squirrel immediately opened its pair of bat-like wings and took off into the sky.
In addition to its cuteness, its small body also has its own unique advantages when it comes to dodging attacks.
By simply flapping its wings twice, the electric flying squirrel's small and exquisite body nimbly dodged the extremely cold rays shot straight from the water arrow turtle's barrel.
Under the attack of Water Arrow Turtle's somewhat clumsy and straight moves, Electric Flying Squirrel, whose absolute speed was not fast at all, was so free and easy.
Perfectly bypassing the freezing beam, the Electric Flying Squirrel flew directly onto the Water Arrow Turtle's head. The action reference design was probably from a Facehugger.
However, the electric flying squirrel does not hug the face tightly and then ovulate in the host's mouth as disgustingly as the facehugger. What it has to do is much more benign, and it just discharges electricity.
The current is so small that even with attribute restraint, the damage caused is almost negligible.
But the Water Arrow Turtle frowned, because this weak but strange current caused all the muscles in his body to fall into an abnormal state - the paralysis state took effect!
Anyone who knows a little bit about elf battles can tell that Blastoise is in trouble.
Not only was he paralyzed, but what was even worse was that the Electric Flying Squirrel successfully "landed" on the Water Arrow Turtle, and the two thick cannon barrels that the latter was proud of were completely useless!
After all, no matter how powerful your cannon barrel is and how far it can shoot... My electric flying squirrel is lying on your cannon barrel. How should you respond?
…………
If you have a more experienced trainer, you will let the water arrow turtle retract into its shell and use high-speed rotation to first throw the electric flying squirrel away from itself.
But the challenger in front of him is obviously not experienced enough.
The sudden situation left him a little confused. In panic, he chose another way to deal with it.
"Blastoise, use Surf!"
It sounds like a good choice - this type of ranged move can completely attack the electric flying squirrel lying on his back.
But one thing he didn't consider was that water can attack and conduct electricity!
Xia Chen directly commanded without thinking: "Fly up, and then use thunder!"
I don’t know if the Blastoise is lucky or not.
Good news, the paralysis effect did not take effect and the surf release was successful.
Bad news, the rushing water wave failed to hit the electric flying squirrel that flew high in time, and instead became a bridge.
A bridge connecting Thunderbolt and Blastoise.
Snapped!
There was a thunder, and the electric flying squirrel's small body suddenly burst out with terrifying electricity——
It definitely can't be described with this word at the same level as Senbu, but for the Blastoise... the word "terrible" is not an exaggeration.
Lightning fell from the sky, and the panicked Blastoise tried to escape from the thunder, but it did escape.
The thunderbolt, which was extremely powerful but had a relatively long charging time, failed to hit the escaping Water Arrow Turtle and instead fell into the surging water waves.
The Water Arrow Turtle was able to escape thunder and lightning, but it was unable to swim out of the water flow it created. Following this natural conductor, terrifying electrical energy poured into the Water Arrow Turtle's body crazily.
"Kama——"
Amidst the painful roar, the water arrow turtle was electrocuted to the point where it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Even its original brown turtle shell was a little charred.
Over there, Xia Chen showed no intention of letting off steam and commanded: "Go on, do it again!"
Hearing this, the challenger hurriedly shouted: "Blastoise, use Hide in the Shell!"
After all, he is qualified to challenge the gym. This guy has some fighting experience, but not much.
Although the effect of retracting into the shell is to increase physical defense, hiding vital parts such as the head and limbs of the turtle under the shell can indeed avoid some damage from thunder.
But this means that the Water Arrow Turtle has completely given up the initiative in the battle.
Xia Chen took over the initiative unceremoniously and turned to command: "Electric flying squirrel, power grid!"
Since the power of the move would be greatly reduced, Xia Chen stopped thundering. It would consume more energy and take a long time to charge, which was not cost-effective.
It is better to control the speed of the power grid first.
Although this move is not very common, the effect is quite good, the damage is not low, and it also has strategic significance in slowing down the opponent's speed.
With such a powerful effect, it is no wonder that it became the legendary move used by the Green Caterpillar to kill Rayquaza.
…………
Under the cover of the giant golden net woven by the electric current, it is easy to capture the water arrow turtle with its limbs retracted and only a shell left.
Because it was retracted into the shell, the damage caused by the power grid was not significant, but the turtle shell clearly trembled. Obviously, the additional effect of slowing down took effect.
The turtle shell remained motionless, and Xia Chen ignored it and continued to direct: "Then move at high speed!"
His idea is obvious, create a speed difference between the two, and then use the electric ball to end the game.
This is much better than directly beating the turtle's shell and wearing down the water arrow turtle's physical strength bit by bit, because the electric flying squirrel's increased speed can still be used when fighting the next elf.
The challenger was panicking at this moment. No matter how bad things got, he also understood that he could not let his opponent strengthen arbitrarily.
There is no other way, Blastoise, I can only let you die standing.
"Blastoise, use Blizzard!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The purpose is not for pure offense, but to force the electric flying squirrel to stop strengthening and attack itself.
Judging from the current situation, exchanging life for injury is already the best outcome for him.
Seeing that the Water Arrow Turtle was no longer a shrinking turtle, Xia Chen switched to another plan, "Electric Flying Squirrel, thunder!"
The cold wind was biting, the thunder was lightning, and two moves with different attributes were fired almost at the same time.
The difference is that the Blastoise stood there blankly, as if releasing a blizzard while avoiding this kind of double-threaded operation would burn out its CPU.
The Electric Flying Squirrel was much more at ease. While the thunder struck, its small body kept flipping dexterously in the air.
Although it is impossible to completely avoid the damage of the blizzard, avoiding the relatively large hailstones in the blizzard also greatly reduces the damage that this move can do.
"Finally, the electric ball!"
The electric flying squirrel spread its wings and glided in the air and puffed up the two electric sacs on its cheeks. As the electric light surged, the energy condensed into a ball and shot towards the water arrow turtle at high speed.
Just like what he said, this electric ball became the last straw that overwhelmed the Water Arrow Turtle. This powerful elf, whose strength was close to the elite level, fell down immediately.
The onlookers took a deep breath - the damage control of the top trainers was so terrifying!
This gym challenge undoubtedly ended with Fang Xiachen, the defender of the gym, winning by a huge margin.
And Xia Chen didn't hand over the Yuanling Badge from the gym, not because his opponent failed to win, but because he didn't show the qualities worthy of the Yuanling Badge.
Logically speaking, the absolute strength of Electric Flying Squirrel is obviously not as good as his three elves, but it was still almost defeated by this electric mouse. This is no reason to give the badge at all.
…………
Most of the gym challenges that followed in the morning were like this. Xia Chen rotated through the electric flying squirrel, a family of mice, a baby bear, and the Vulcan Moth, and he didn't lose a single game.
Soon, the news, which was not news at all, "Yuanling Gym has replaced its leader Xia Chen" spread like wildfire on the Internet.
Countless trainers were immediately excited and ready to challenge. Even those who were not from the Donghuang area and did not intend to challenge the Donghuang Alliance also joined in the fun.
[Yuanling Gym] The number of people who made reservations to challenge the gym on the app increased from a few hundred to tens of thousands in one morning.
Looking at this string of numbers, Krisja raised her head and looked at her owner of the hall with resentment.
"This number... I have to fight 24/7 for ten years before I can finish it. Do you want to tie me here for the rest of my life?"
Xia Chen closed the gym challenge reservation in the background and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, after a few days I stop playing, and more than 90% of them will cancel their reservation."
Chris Jia: "..."
This sounds reasonable, but why does it always feel weird?
In the next few days, Xia Chen lived a peaceful daily "working" life.
Although the intensity of the gym challenge is indeed low, it is not completely boring for Xia Chen.
Because this is currently the most suitable stage for Burning Bugs to perform.
Shortly after the birth of the Burning Bug, Xia Chen became busy with the research of Tai Crystalization, and later a series of things happened in the Galar region.
Now that he was finally free, he naturally wanted to accompany the Burning Insect in its last period [adolescence].
After calming down to accompany him, Xia Chen was surprised by the special features of the burning insect.
Logically speaking, after cultivating more than a dozen abnormal elves, Xia Chen's threshold for surprise should be very high, but the burning bug still gave him a big enough surprise.
Because the flame in its body is really special.
After nearly half a year of growth, the energy intensity of the burning bug has reached the elite level.
This alone can be regarded as an extreme growth rate. After all, even the Nian Meilong, who is so talented that he is almost a demon, can only match this speed.
What's even more exaggerated than its growth rate is that its flame temperature is incredibly high.
To put it bluntly, he is just a burning bug who has just reached the elite level, but the fire-based moves he uses are as powerful as those of gym-level elves!
And the characteristics of this flame are even more powerful - it is minimally affected by attribute resistance!
Menas, who was clearly four times more resistant to fire, seemed to have only twice as much resistance when attacked by the flames sprayed by the burning insects.
In order to study the characteristics of the burning insect flame more accurately, Xia Chen allowed the senbu to super-evolve and transform it into various attributes, allowing it to be roasted by the jet flames.
The final conclusion is that it is normal for things like steel and grass types that are already restrained, or those that have no restraint relationship such as electric and poison types.
However, attributes such as water, dragon, and ground that can originally resist fire-type moves will have a greatly reduced resistance effect.
This kind of magical and weird flame completely broke Xia Chen's existing knowledge - it completely subverted the most basic laws of the elven world that water overcomes fire, fire overcomes grass, and grass overcomes water!
Compared with this, Ho-oh's sacred fire and Sidorane's earth-centered lava... are all weak.
"It's a little too outrageous..."
Even the well-informed Xia Chen was inevitably speechless when faced with this situation.
But anyway, this is a good thing.
But, where did the burning bugs get this strange ability that breaks the rules of the world?
Looking at the burning bug that was alive and kicking one second and fell into a sweet dream the next, Xia Chen fell into deep thought.
——————
At the same time, the ultimate world.
It's still the same planet inhabited by poisonous babes and four-jawed needle dragons.
But compared to four months ago, the planet's environment has completely changed.
Sunlight, plants, water, and all the elements needed for life exist here.
The elves who originally lived in underground caves woke up from their slumber, looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, and worshiped.
At this time, the "sun" in the sky was communicating and chatting with the real predecessor of the ultimate world.
"Guang, Xia Chen said today that my flame is very special and can break through the constraints of attribute restraint."
[Is this surprising? I thought you already knew that.]
The burning bug asked in confusion: "How would I know if you don't tell me... But why is this happening?"
The being named [Light] answered with a somewhat arrogant tone.
[People think that the rules of this world are determined by the creator god Arceus, and his eighteen stone slabs gave birth to the eighteen most basic attributes of this world.]
[But this is not actually the case. The so-called Creator God itself is not the will of the universe itself, but only the product of the will of the universe. "Creator God" is just a nicer name.]
[And "Darkness" and I are also one of the products of the will of the universe. There is no essential difference between Arceus and Arceus. Why should my power be bound by his rules?]
"oh..."
The burning insect seemed to understand, but suddenly asked: "Then what kind of existence is the will of the universe you mentioned?"
"Light" was unusually silent for a long time before giving a vague answer.
[When you figure out the meaning of the universe, you may be able to understand the existence of will.]
Obviously, it didn't know this question, which might be the ultimate mystery, so it kicked the ball back to the Burning Insect.
The burning bug became even more confused.
[Well, don’t think about it. In short, these illusory things have no meaning to you now.]
[We have more important things to do next.]
Retracting his thoughts that he didn't know where he was being taken, the Burning Bug asked: "What's going on?"
[This planet has been completely restored by us. I think it’s time for us to bring light to more places.]
