The entire field became even livelier.
No one expected this Henry to appear and challenge Logan right when his Pokémon were low on HP.
But precisely because of that, everyone was even more eager to see who would win this battle.
“Come out, Diglett.” Henry sent out his Pokémon.
[Diglett: Level 15] “If it’s Diglett, then it’s your turn, Hawlucha.” Logan had Hawlucha, whom he had just recalled, return to battle.
“Hawlucha is already low on HP, and you’re still going to make it fight?” Henry frowned slightly and asked.
“It’s fine.
Your Diglett doesn’t pose a threat,” Logan said indifferently.
This time, Henry was also provoked by Logan.
“I’ll defeat you fairly and honorably!” Henry declared.
“Has your Diglett fought against a Flying type before?” Logan asked with a strange expression.
Was he really declaring that he would use a Ground-type Diglett to defeat Hawlucha, who had Flying type?
For Diglett, Hawlucha was an existence from a higher dimension, difficult to reach.
“No,” Henry said, confused.
“Is there a problem?” “I’m just going to teach you something,” Logan said indifferently.
“Hawlucha, use Karate Chop.” “Diglett, use Astonish!” Diglett quickly sank underground, and in the next instant, appeared in front of Hawlucha.
It had barely tried to make a ghostly face when it already received Karate Chop to the face.
Bang!
Diglett’s other base stats were very mediocre; it could even be said to be fragile.
But its base speed reached no less than 95 points, occupying most of its potential.
Its base HP stat was only 10 points.
With only 10 points of base HP, after receiving Karate Chop, it directly lost sixty percent of its health.
“A fragile one dares to get close in melee,” Logan commented.
“If it were me, I would use a long-range harassment tactic, taking advantage of Diglett’s speed and the terrain advantage.” In his heart, he silently added one phrase: although that would not be very useful either.
“Diglett, retreat quickly!” Although Hawlucha had lost some health, Diglett’s loss was much greater.
“Hawlucha, use Wing Attack.” “Diglett, use Mud-Slap and then dodge Wing Attack!” “Dodge it,” Logan said calmly.
Facing the mud thrown from the ground, Hawlucha only had to rise a little to avoid it.
That Ground-type moves did not damage Flying types did not mean that, if they hit, they would not remove HP in a bugged way.
Rather, for a Flying type, dodging them was too simple.
It was almost like an innate instinct.
Diglett’s base speed was truly very high.
It directly sank into the ground, causing Wing Attack to miss.
“Diglett, use Magnitude!” Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, loaded with immense force.
But Hawlucha, as if it had foreseen it by instinct, immediately reacted and took flight.
It did not lose even a drop of health!
“Do you understand now?” Logan said.
Henry’s face turned gray.
He finally realized the fact that Ground type had no effect against Flying type.
“Hawlucha, use Roost.” Hawlucha landed on the ground and, with the help of a mysterious force, directly recovered half of its HP.
It was unshakable!
“How is that possible!” Henry opened his eyes wide.
Recovering half of its health all of a sudden while fighting?
That was practically cheating!
“Diglett, use Scratch!” This time, Henry had learned his lesson and ordered Diglett to use a Normal-type move.
But he did not know that he had already fallen into the deep trap Logan had dug.
At that moment, Henry had to be firmly convinced that Ground-type moves did not work against Hawlucha.
But he did not know that Hawlucha, after using Roost, no longer had the Flying type.
Now it was only a Fighting-type Pokémon.
In other words, Ground-type moves could now cause damage to it!
And Henry, who had already fallen into the trap, did not realize it at all.
“Hawlucha, use Karate Chop!” With advantage in HP, attack, and speed, what did Logan have to fear?
Frontal attack!
Bang!
They almost struck at the same time, but the one who fell was Diglett.
Diglett was not a rare Pokémon, and its evolution, Dugtrio, could not be considered powerful either.
It was a genuine fragile one.
“Come back, Diglett.” Henry sighed and silently withdrew, without even saying goodbye.
But his reddened face proved that inside, he was not calm at all.
Logan did not say a single word.
It was not that Henry was weak; it could only be said that Logan was too strong.
Suppression at the level of knowledge allowed Logan to always occupy the initiative.
If Henry had been more cautious at the start, it would not necessarily have been impossible to defeat, with full HP, a Hawlucha that only had a quarter of its health.
But after his moves were repeatedly nullified, Henry lost his composure.
Even his inner arrogance made him underestimate the enemy from the beginning.
“Ding!” [Hawlucha has risen 1 level.] [Current Level: Level 16] [Move unlocked: Aerial Ace.] [Combat Power increased by +50 points.] “Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha cried out and once again spread its wings to fly.
When the battle ended, the side effect of Roost naturally disappeared.
Its agility made it so that no one could guess the hidden disadvantage of that move.
Clap, clap, clap!
Suddenly, applause rang out like thunder.
This battle could not be considered intense, but anyone with good eyesight could notice that it had been a complete suppression through knowledge, an intelligence suppression!
Under Logan’s multiple layers of planning, Henry had no ability to resist.
They had learned something new.
They did not expect Ground-type moves to be ineffective against Flying types!
It was the first day, and even if someone discovered that point, they would not dare upload it rashly for fear that other players would attack them with criticism.
But Logan had taken full advantage of that still-unconfirmed immunity relationship.
“Does anyone else want to challenge me?” Logan asked loudly.
Naturally, the more sacks of experience, the better.
“Me!” A rough-looking middle-aged man walked to the opposite side and said, “My name is Dorian Rockwell.
This is my Pokémon, Voltorb.” A large red-and-white sphere appeared on the field.
“Volltorrbb!” [Voltorb: Level 14] “Voltorb, Electric type, 330 points in base stats.
Among them, its base speed is 100 points.
Its evolution, Electrode, has 480 points in base stats and 140 points of base speed.
It is barely worth training.
Does this Dorian want to counter the Flying type?” Logan thought.
“Pokémon Go really is booming.
Even men in their forties are playing.
This Dorian is evidently also a professional player.” “It’s your turn, Hawlucha,” Logan said to Hawlucha, who was still on the field.
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha was evidently also very excited.
But it was quite cautious toward the electric sparks flickering over Voltorb’s body.
“Hawlucha, use Roost.” Dorian’s raised eyebrows immediately furrowed.
That Roost move that was almost like a bug again!
Dorian could only watch with his own eyes as Hawlucha, who had more than half of its HP, quickly recovered to full.
“Voltorb, use Spark!” In an instant, Voltorb wrapped itself in flickering electric rays and crashed into Hawlucha.
“Hawlucha, counterattack with Karate Chop!” In this exchange, both lost HP.
“How can that Hawlucha’s defense be so strong?
Electric type clearly counters Flying type!
Why can’t I gain the advantage?” Dorian exclaimed, unable to understand no matter how much he thought about it.
Logan did not answer.
After using Roost, Hawlucha did not even have the Flying type anymore.
And he still wanted to counter it?
“Voltorb, keep using Spark!” Dorian refused to believe it.
His Voltorb was a Flying-type killer.
How was it possible that it only caused so little damage?
That was not scientific!
“Hawlucha, dodge it and then keep using Karate Chop.” “Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha was grazed by Spark, but did not lose too much HP.
In contrast, Voltorb lost quite a lot of health.
“How is that possible?
Isn’t Hawlucha a Flying type?
That can’t be!” Dorian exclaimed.
“To be exact, it’s Flying + Fighting type,” Logan said calmly.
“Hawlucha, keep using Karate Chop.” Dorian was confused.
The Electric type’s advantage over the Flying type was not like the Flying type’s immunity to the Ground type.
It was an already confirmed advantage relationship!
Then why was it losing effect against Hawlucha?
“Voltorb, use Rollout!” “Volltorrbb!” After two consecutive Electric moves failed to stand out, Voltorb’s HP also dropped to half.
Dorian knew that now was not the time to keep obsessing over Electric-type moves.
He had to use a big move and end it quickly.
Logan’s expression became serious.
Rollout, from a certain point of view, could also be considered a bug.
It rolled five consecutive times, and each time it hit, its power doubled.
In the end, it could reach a monstrous power of 480.
If Defense Curl was used before, it could even reach the limit of 960 power.
One had to know that Hyper Beam only had 150 power.
If Rollout were allowed to hit continuously, not even Snorlax could withstand it!
