After being struck three times in a row by Karate Chop, Dorian could not hide the tension between his brows.
All of Voltorb’s stats were inferior to Hawlucha’s, and now its HP was not much either.
Dorian was not sure which turn Rollout could reach, nor how many times it would manage to hit.
But as long as it hit three times, Logan would undoubtedly lose.
That was Dorian’s hope for victory.
“Hawlucha, dodge it.
Watch Voltorb carefully and don’t let it hit you,” Logan said.
He was also completely focused.
Voltorb’s base speed was very high, which made Rollout very fast.
If it were an ordinary Pokémon, it would be extremely difficult to dodge.
But Hawlucha’s speed was already superior.
Although it had lost the Flying type, dodging was not difficult for it.
“Circle around to its back and use Karate Chop!” For a Voltorb that was using Rollout, the only safe area to attack was the rear.
And with Hawlucha’s speed, although circling around to the back was difficult, it was not impossible.
Bang!
Karate Chop struck hard against Voltorb’s rear left side.
“Voltorb, turn quickly!” Dorian could not give the order for another move; he could only direct its direction.
Rollout was a move that, whether it hit or not, had to continue for five turns.
Seeing its HP drop sharply, Dorian could not help becoming flustered.
But when he thought of Voltorb’s ability, he smiled again.
He still had hope.
“Hawlucha, stay behind Voltorb and use Karate Chop continuously,” Logan said.
Rollout had immense power, but it was not easy to control.
For example, turning was extremely difficult for a Voltorb that was rolling.
That was a huge opening.
As long as it stayed behind, Voltorb would be a living target.
Bang!
Another Karate Chop!
Voltorb’s HP dropped directly to one third, putting it in critical condition.
But Rollout had not even grazed one of Hawlucha’s feathers!
“Impossible!
With five melee attacks, how can Hawlucha not have become paralyzed!” Dorian exclaimed.
“It seems your Voltorb’s ability is Static,” Logan said calmly.
“But unfortunately, Static is useless against Hawlucha.” The Static ability gave Pokémon that attacked in melee a 30% chance of becoming paralyzed.
Under paralysis, there was a 25% chance of failing when using a move, and speed was reduced to 25% of the original.
If it truly became paralyzed, it would be very possible to turn the battle around!
Unfortunately, Hawlucha’s ability was Limber, immune to paralysis.
If not for that, Logan would not have sent out Hawlucha either.
“How do you know that?” Dorian said, surprised.
“I shouldn’t have told anyone.” Logan shrugged and reminded him, “Your Voltorb is about to lose the ability to fight.” Only then did Dorian suddenly realize.
Hawlucha’s HP had dropped to half; evidently, it had just been hit once.
But Voltorb’s HP had already hit rock bottom.
“Hawlucha, give Voltorb the final Tackle.” Bang!
When Voltorb fell, Hawlucha showed its characteristic victory pose.
Then, while flapping its wings and rising, the battle had already ended.
The winner was Logan!
When Dorian put away his Poké Ball and left with a dejected expression, the same thought passed through all the spectators’ minds.
This had been another intelligence suppression!
From beginning to end, Logan remained calm and relaxed, as if he had calculated everything.
In contrast, when Dorian saw that Electric type failed to counter Flying type, his mind had already become disturbed.
Even his trump card, Rollout, was deciphered by Logan.
His defeat had nothing unexpected about it.
Immediately, applause rang out like thunder.
Logan glanced at the forum and discovered that the video of his battle had already surpassed one hundred thousand views.
Such an excellent battle video brought Logan great popularity.
Many people already remembered his name.
“That makes two victories in a row.
Does anyone else want to challenge me?” Logan still had strength, so he chose to continue accepting challenges.
…
“Nurse Joy, please help me heal Hawlucha and Heracross.” Logan handed over two Poké Balls.
“Of course.” Nurse Joy nodded.
When she returned the Poké Balls to him, she could not help sighing in admiration.
“Logan, you are the most outstanding trainer I have seen in this city.
Whether it is your mastery of moves, or your understanding of Pokémon abilities and characteristics, you are at the top among current players.
I truly did not expect a genius like you to appear in the early stages.” “It is not that much.
Everyone performed quite well,” Logan said modestly.
Before, Logan had battled no less than five times.
Every time Hawlucha was low on HP, it used Roost, gave up the Flying type, and recovered half of its health.
That was how it defeated opponent after opponent.
After Henry and Dorian, he defeated three more players.
And that knowledge-based suppression also made the players exclaim in disbelief.
There were even some who shouted asking for an autograph.
After five battles, Hawlucha was almost exhausted.
Logan did not make his trump card, Growlithe, come out to fight, but used the excuse of healing his Pokémon to leave the field.
Until the end, no player appeared who could defeat Logan.
[Hawlucha: Level 18] Hawlucha had risen two levels.
Its current Combat Power was no less than 900 points, even higher than Growlithe’s level.
If they battled again, Hawlucha would surely win.
“From now on, you can use the Pokémon Center’s battlefield whenever you want.
Consider it a reward for letting me see such wonderful Pokémon battles,” Nurse Joy said.
“Thank you.” Logan was very happy inside.
Unexpectedly, he had obtained permission.
“You are welcome,” Nurse Joy said with a gentle smile.
Night fell.
Logan walked along the street, with Hawlucha at his side.
He asked Hawlucha to increase its vigilance.
If they encountered a powerful Ghost-type Pokémon, it had to use Wing Attack directly.
Meanwhile, he began browsing the forum.
Today was the first day of launch, and the forum was extremely lively.
Logan attached great importance to the forum.
It was the most important channel for the circulation of information in the entire game.
“About Type Advantages and Immunity Relationships Between Pokémon.” This featured post was very high up.
Many correct replies had been gathered together.
Most of the most basic advantage relationships were summarized in that post.
Logan’s five consecutive victories today added the concept of “type immunity” to the post.
“Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny everywhere are identical, beautiful, and charming.
New setting.
Am I the only one who thought of uniforms?” Logan directly skipped that post.
Although Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny looked exactly the same, their personalities still had slight differences.
For example, Nurse Joy of Arcaia City was extremely kind and tolerant.
As for Officer Jenny, Logan was not breaking the law, so why would Officer Jenny come cause him trouble?
“It made me waste a Poké Ball.
Trash Magikarp!” Inside this post were all kinds of complaints.
Originally, it should have sunk, but it was pushed upward by countless players who felt identified with it.
Magikarp was definitely the most common Water-type Pokémon in Pokémon Go, visible everywhere.
But in terms of combat power, it could not even compare with Rattata, Caterpie, or Weedle.
Carrying such a Pokémon in the early stages was wasting one’s life.
The players who identified with that post were precisely those who trained Magikarp at the beginning and were left behind by the mainstream players.
Logan fell silent for them.
Was Magikarp something you people could handle?
Magikarp’s evolution, Gyarados, was extremely powerful, but before evolving, Magikarp could be considered the weakest Pokémon.
Although Logan was very interested in Gyarados, Magikarp’s weakness made him retreat.
There were many buying and selling posts for Magikarp on the forum.
Basically, all of them were low-quality Magikarp, sold at heavy losses, at 300 Pokédollars each.
One had to know that a Poké Ball cost 500 Pokédollars.
A commodity that made people lose money, that was exactly what it was.
In contrast, intermediate-quality ones sold for 3,000 Pokédollars.
Those people believed in Magikarp’s potential after evolving.
So far, there was still no high-quality Magikarp for sale.
No matter how weak a Pokémon was, as long as it reached high quality, no one would sell it for less than one hundred thousand.
“One in ten thousand” was not just a figure of speech.
