Zhuqing Breeding Center.
Li Wei and Lance's exhibition match continued.
Although Lance's Dragonite, while rapidly dodging, unfortunately still brushed against Will-O-Wisp and became burned.
However, Lance did not panic and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
As Li Wei commanded Dragapult to use Phantom Force, Lance revealed his trump card.
"Dragonite, Thunder Wave spread!"
The faint Thunder Wave quickly spread out…
Countless jumping, tiny golden currents, like a net cast from the heavens, spread towards Dragapult!
If it were long-range, Li Wei could have Dragapult use cover to dodge…
But due to the close proximity from Aerial Ace and Phantom Force, the distance between them was unavoidable!
Thunder Wave did not miss; the net-like Thunder Wave accurately hit Dragapult, and faint currents appeared on its body.
Da You chuckled, "Burned on one side, paralyzed on the other? How interesting."
Since both could fly, Dragonite's Earthquake was effectively useless.
Although Dragapult was paralyzed, Li Wei did not panic; after all, Dragonite was also burned.
"Dragapult, create distance, Dragon Darts!"
After Phantom Force, Dragapult quickly created distance with its short-range acceleration advantage.
In battle, Dragapult's short-range acceleration far surpassed Dragonite's.
Of course, if it came to flying a full circle around a sphere, Dragapult couldn't even compare to Dragonite.
Unlike Drakloak, Dragapult could be called a mama's boy Pokemon.
The two Dreepy in the launcher on its head transformed into furious purple Dragon Darts, tearing through the air and crossing to strike the Dragonite, whose movements were slightly sluggish due to the burn!
Lance accurately judged that Dragonite's current speed was insufficient to dodge Dragon Darts.
Either take the hit or knock them down…
"Ice Punch defense!"
Dragonite's fists were covered in solid ice, and it crossed its fists to bat away the two oncoming Dreepy!
"Wow!"
The children couldn't help but exclaim.
The old man nodded, "This Dragonite's eyesight and perseverance are both very good."
In a burned state, Dragonite could still accurately catch the two fast-moving Dreepy, which showed his excellent eyesight.
In the old man's opinion, although Dragonite was currently only Gym-level, this Dragonite had a promising future.
The Dreepy returned to Dragapult's launcher once more.
Currently, Dragapult was still paralyzed, so Li Wei would not choose close-range combat.
Even if Dragonite was burned, Dragapult couldn't withstand consecutive Ice Punches.
"Hex!"
Lance reached out and clenched his hand in the air.
"This time we'll use Dragon Dance!"
Lance intended to endure this damage, increase his speed and attack, and wait for the burn to wear off before deciding the winner.
Dragonite roared, simultaneously spinning while enduring Hex.
Boom—
Dragonite was blasted backward, and clear marks appeared on its orange scales.
In a burned state, taking a Hex from Dragapult was very taxing for Dragonite.
But Dragonite still gritted his teeth and completed Dragon Dance, as orange-red energy surged from his feet.
Da You was explaining to the children,
"Hex's power doubles when the target is in an abnormal status. Because Dragonite is burned, this move is very painful."
"Dragon Dance was still completed; it couldn't be stopped. Once the burn status is removed, it will be Lance's time to counterattack."
As they spoke, Dragonite's burn status was removed.
At the same time, the Thunder Wave wrapped around Dragapult also disappeared.
Li Wei and Lance's eyes met.
This time, they no longer intended to use Will-O-Wisp and Thunder Wave; it was time to show their true strength.
"Li Wei, the show begins!"
"I'll accompany you to the end."
"Phantom Force!"
Dragapult's body instantly became ethereal, as if it had entered another space.
"Wait in place, Ice Punch counterattack!"
Dragapult, in its Phantom Force state, disappeared.
When he reappeared, he accurately struck Dragonite's right shoulder!
The pained Dragonite, his massive body, stumbled from the impact.
But Dragonite also endured the pain, swinging his left fist, and Ice Punch connected!
"Duruuru~~"
Dragapult let out a sharp cry of pain, his body instantly flying backward.
Da You continued to dutifully explain to the children: "Dragonite accurately predicted Phantom Force's landing spot and delivered a beautiful counterattack with Ice Punch!"
Although he had a better relationship with Li Wei, Da You was a purely neutral commentator.
"Can you still keep going, Dragapult?!"
"Duruuru!!!"
(No problem!)
Dragapult's eyes were firm.
Lance crossed his arms, a slight smile on his lips, "Dragonite, what about you?"
Dragonite bent his arms and roared to the sky: "Awoo!!!"
(Absolutely no problem!)
The battle continued.
Lance clenched his right fist and swung his arm,
"Dragonite, Ice Punch!"
Li Wei said loudly, "Dodge!"
Even though Dragonite had used Dragon Dance once, in terms of short-range movement speed, the high-speed assassin Dragapult still had the advantage.
Dragapult weaved and dodged in mid-air; Dragonite's consecutive Ice Punches failed to hit Dragapult.
Lance frowned slightly; Extreme Speed was completely ineffective against the Ghost-type Dragapult…
From the previous battle, Lance had already acknowledged Li Wei's command ability.
He most likely wouldn't have another chance for Dragon Dance, so he could only engage in Close Combat and fight with all his might.
Although Extreme Speed was indeed ineffective against Dragapult, Extreme Speed had another use.
Speed boost!
"Extreme Speed approach, then Ice Punch!"
Da You looked slightly surprised, "He can do that?!"
Li Wei said loudly, "Dragapult, Protect!"
The emerald green barrier completely blocked Dragonite's Ice Punch after he approached.
But Lance had already anticipated that Li Wei would use Protect; approaching Dragapult was his true objective.
And trying to use Protect twice in a row?
That's too dependent on luck.
They say Protect doesn't always Protect.
As long as he forced Li Wei to use his first Protect, he would have victory in his grasp.
Lance's offense was like a fierce storm,
"Dragonite, Outrage!!!"
Dragonite roared to the sky, a roar that shattered the clouds, and violent Dragon-type energy erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption!
Da You frowned: "Outrage at such close range… he can't possibly endure it!"
Professor Rowan nodded, "It looks like Lance is going to win."
At such close range, Dragapult couldn't possibly dodge…
Since that was the case, Li Wei decided to go all out.
"Dragapult, Draco Meteor!"
The orange-red Draco Meteor sphere was instantly completed in Dragapult's mouth.
"Could it be that there's still a chance?"
The orange-red sphere and the violent Outrage intertwined and collided.
Boom—
Accompanied by a deafening roar, destructive energy instantly spread out, and smoke, rubble, and chaotic, violent energy currents swept across the entire field!
Everyone instinctively covered their eyes with their arms.
