A Tackle, and the powerful force instantly pushed Walking Wake back several meters!
Just one round of engagement, and numerous problems were already exposed.
“Tsk~”
Zhang Heng couldn't help but click his tongue, secretly feeling bitter.
He had been confident about the first battle with Walking Wake, but only now did he realize the enormous gap in strength between them.
He felt completely suppressed in this battle and for a moment couldn't think of an effective tactic to turn the tide.
One must know that Walking Wake currently held an absolute weather advantage—Sunny Day.
Its Ancient Ability, deeply hidden within its body, was successfully activated, instantly increasing its Speed by 50%, making its movements even more swift like the wind.
Moreover, with the boost from Sunny Day, Walking Wake's exclusive skill, Steam Eruption, also greatly increased in power, and even the power of Fire-type skills significantly improved.
In contrast, Urshifu, on the other side, was clearly recovering from a serious illness.
He had just recovered from a Toxic status, with very little HP remaining, in a critical state.
Yet, even so, when Walking Wake unleashed a Flamethrower that gained 1.5 times its power under Sunny Day, Urshifu fearlessly charged forward, without any defense, and took the hit head-on!
Moreover, Urshifu was also inflicted with a burn, which would halve the power of his physical moves.
However, even so, when he used a Normal-type attack skill—Tackle—which was not his forte, he still displayed astonishing power.
It was clear that despite Walking Wake holding so many advantages, he still couldn't withstand a Tackle skill with halved power, indicating a truly enormous difference in level between the two.
Walking Wake is currently a Level 45 Gym level combatant, while Urshifu, whose information panel Zhang Heng couldn't see, is conservatively estimated to have Champion level combat power or higher.
It was obvious that Urshifu on the other side had been holding back, because for Fighting-type Pokémon like Urshifu, the most prominent abilities are naturally their fists and leg strength, but he didn't use them; instead, he used the Normal-type Tackle skill, using his head to hard clash with Walking Wake and still managed to repel him.
And Kubfu, watching from the side, kept his eyes fixed on Urshifu's incredibly powerful back, his gaze filled with awe and admiration.
His heart seemed to pound violently with each of Urshifu's attacks, and his inner desire for such immense power grew even stronger.
Walking Wake shook his head, recovering from the dizziness caused by the Tackle skill hitting his head.
“Walking Wake, we have a Speed advantage now; we'll be much faster than Urshifu.
Let's try to kite him, avoid direct confrontation.
I will create opportunities for you, opportunities to defeat him.”
Although Walking Wake is currently only Level 45 and his base Speed is not as fast as Urshifu's, his Rash nature increases Speed, and with Ancient Ability adding another 50% Speed, he is definitely much faster than a slow physical attacker like Urshifu.
Urshifu stood firm, calmly placing one hand behind his back, and extended the other hand generously forward, palm up, towards Walking Wake.
His long, strong palm slightly curved, his four fingers joined together, and then slowly retracted.
This series of movements seemed simple and casual, but the implied Taunt was self-evident, a perfectly standard Taunt!
Seeing this, Walking Wake's usually calm eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling red light.
Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon have always been known for their power and majesty; they would never tolerate any form of Taunt or insult.
Moreover, Walking Wake's own nature is Rash; once provoked, that fury would be like a bursting dam, impossible to suppress.
In an instant, the entire space seemed to ignite, and violent Dragon-type energy surged from all directions like a tide, frantically converging on Walking Wake.
These energies intertwined and collided, forming dazzling indigo-blue lights, like agile flood dragons coiling around Walking Wake's body.
However, Zhang Heng at this moment seemed a bit at a loss.
Since coming to this world, he had never seen other Dragon-type Pokémon, and even though the system had granted him Dragon-type affinity, due to Walking Wake's extremely special and sensitive Legendary Pokémon status, he had never released him to participate in battles before.
Therefore, regarding how to use this Dragon-type affinity, he could be said to have no clue, almost zero experience.
Normally, when Zhang Heng communicated with Walking Wake, he often relied more on Water-type affinity to convey information and emotions.
But at this moment, the situation was different.
Standing still, Zhang Heng unhesitatingly unleashed the Dragon-type affinity hidden within his body, attempting to establish an effective communication bridge with the enraged and irrational Walking Wake before him.
Zhang Heng gazed at Walking Wake with full concentration; he could clearly see a skill on its attribute panel flashing with a dazzling light, as if proclaiming that Walking Wake was about to use this skill.
Clearly, Walking Wake intended to use this powerful skill to decide the outcome.
Walking Wake stood within a massive vortex constructed from dense Dragon-type energy, slowly turning his head to meet Zhang Heng's gaze.
In that instant, Zhang Heng already understood Walking Wake's innermost thoughts—since this was a contest between Legendary Pokémon, why use evasive guerrilla tactics to determine victory?
It would be better to cast aside all restraints and have a full-throttle battle!
“Walking Wake! Dragon Rush!”
As Zhang Heng roared, Walking Wake suddenly threw his head back and let out a deafening roar towards the sky.
Immediately after, the already surging Dragon-type energy around his body began to rapidly gather and condense, finally transforming into an incredibly huge and lifelike giant dragon head, like an indestructible shield tightly enveloping Walking Wake.
Walking Wake, like a fierce beast, charged forward, carrying a majestic Dragon-type might as heavy as a mountain, surging forth with overwhelming force!
The terrifying killing intent emanating from him seemed to freeze the surrounding air, sending shivers down one's spine.
At this moment, Walking Wake, while intimidating his opponent with his powerful aura, exerted all his effort to accelerate his charge, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.
He was like a cannonball, crashing directly into Urshifu with the force of thunder.
This strike contained endless power and fury, seemingly intent on completely destroying all obstacles in its path.
Dragon Rush, a Dragon-type physical attack skill, with 100 power.
There is a 20% chance to make the opponent flinch, preventing them from using their skill normally.
And Urshifu, feeling Walking Wake charging towards him with immense Dragon-type might, knew that this was his request for a direct confrontation.
Urshifu took a horse stance, clenched one hand into a fist, and tucked it near his waist.
In the Evil Tower, a scroll radiating dense evil energy slowly unfolded.
The rich, extreme evil power slowly drifted out of the tower, and black and red energy waves converged on Urshifu's fist.
“This is… Single Strike Style Urshifu's exclusive skill—Darkest Lariat.”
Boom~
