Chapter 324: Dignity
The battlefield was in a mess. Swamp Leap Fish was surrounded by strong ground energy. It grabbed the ankle of Hen Lajiao tightly and pulled it down with all its strength.
The sturdy lower body of Hen Lajiao tilted uncontrollably, stirring up dust on the ground.
"Chili pepper, take root!" Zhao Yu shouted anxiously.
In an instant, grass energy gathered crazily under Hen Lajiao's body, like thick vines quickly digging into the ground, firmly fixing it in the blink of an eye.
As the rooting skill was activated, a light green light appeared around Hen La Jiao's body, and his physical strength began to slowly recover.
Zou Yi and Wu Tian'e stood aside, with their arms folded across their chests, their brows slightly furrowed, their eyes fixed on the situation on the field, secretly pondering their own tactical layout.
At this moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if predicting the direction of the battle. Occasionally, he shook his head slightly, secretly evaluating the performance of the two trainers.
The rooting skill is a real performance. Although it stabilizes Chili Pepper, it also completely deprives it of its ability to move and turns it into a fixed turret. This skill is more suitable for grass-type meat shields with thick fat characteristics like Venusaur.
A sudden flash of inspiration came to him, and he used the rooting skill to make the chlorophyll properties of the hot pepper completely useless.
Zhang Heng keenly grasped this crucial flaw, his eyes flashing with excitement. He immediately shouted an order: "Swamp Leaper, keep digging! Don't give it a chance to breathe!"
The Swamp Leaper received the command and plunged into the ground like a flash of pink lightning, violently stirring up the soil wherever it passed. In a matter of moments, the battlefield was covered with dense caves, and the ground was riddled with holes, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Flying Leaf Blade!" Zhao Yu decisively ordered. Although the fierce pepper could not move now, its roots were completely buried underground and could clearly sense the movement of the swamp leaping fish underground.
The grass energy around him exploded instantly, and blade-like green leaves flew in a fan shape with a sharp whistling sound towards the direction where the swamp leaping fish appeared.
"Swamp Leap Fish, Water Wave!" Zhang Heng reacted quickly. Swamp Leap Fish quickly formed a blue water ball with one hand and pushed it forward with all his might. The water ball instantly exploded, transforming into a surging wave that rushed towards Fei Ye Kuai Dao.
The Flying Leaf Knife cut into the waves, stirring up layers of splashes. Although the waves were fierce, the Flying Leaf Knife quickly cut through the waves with its advantages in number and speed.
The remaining flying leaves and sharp knives continued to move forward with unabated momentum, hitting the swamp-leaping fish that had just emerged from the ground heavily.
The swamp fish was unable to dodge, and several flying leaves scratched its body, leaving a trail of blood. It felt pain and let out a "gragra" sound.
"Swamp Leaper, Mud Shooter!"
The swamp fish endured the pain, puffed up its cheeks, and "puff puff puff", a few pieces of yellow mud shot towards the hot pepper like cannonballs.
The fierce lajiao was unable to move and could only take the attack head-on. The mud hit it heavily, splashing up a cloud of dust.
"Bite it to pieces!" Zhao Yu shouted.
The evil energy of the fierce chili pepper gathered into a huge sharp tooth, flashing white light, and biting fiercely at the oncoming mud, crushing it into pieces.
"water gun!"
The swamp fish opened its mouth wide, and a strong stream of water spurted out, heading straight towards the hot pepper.
"Spray flames!"
A blazing flame spurted out of Hen Lajiao's mouth and turned into a giant flaming dragon, rushing towards the water gun. The flame and the water collided, and a "sizzling" sound broke out, and water vapor filled the air.
The swamp jumper uses the reaction force to retreat and dig a hole into the ground again.
At this moment, the surrounding students began to whisper. "Zhang Heng and Zhao Yu, their battle is so fast!" a boy in a blue school uniform exclaimed.
"Yeah, Swampert is injured, and it seems like Zhang Heng can't hold on any longer." The girl with twin ponytails next to him looked worried.
Zhang Heng thought rapidly in his mind, thinking, "The level difference is still there. Plus, Swampert isn't good at special attacks at all. Using these special attacks won't be effective, and getting close is even more difficult. I'll need to strengthen my physical attack skills from now on."
Chili Pepper is one of the few dual-attack Pokémon, with both physical attack and special attack reaching 108 points, so Swampert won't be able to achieve good results even in close combat, not to mention that Swampert currently doesn't have any powerful physical attack skills.
"Swampfish, keep digging holes and expand the range!" The swampfish kept shuttling underground, digging more and more holes, which became bigger and bigger. The ground of the entire venue was shaky, as if it would collapse at any time.
"Flying Leaf Blade, force it out!" Zhao Yu shouted. Hen La Jiao launched the Flying Leaf Blade again, sending countless green leaves shooting towards the cave on the ground.
The swamp-skipping fish hides flexibly underground, and when the time is right, it suddenly emerges from another cave.
"Sludge attack!"
The Swamp Leaper quickly dived deeper into the ground, and Zhou Zhou's poison energy gathered between his palms.
The black and purple poisonous mud quickly gathered in its palm, rolling and surging, emitting a disgusting stench.
The poisonous mud grew larger and larger, like a small, constantly rotating black hole, with faint flashes of electric arcs, sizzling sounds, and bubbles appearing in it.
The Swamp Leaping Fish suddenly pushed the poisonous mud towards the center of the ground - where the Hot Pepper was.
The poisonous mud raced through the ground, corroding the soil wherever it passed, making a sizzling sound. Then, with a resounding boom, like an earthquake, the ground, already riddled with holes from the swamp-leaping fish, could no longer withstand the powerful impact and collapsed instantly.
A huge sludge swamp appeared in front of everyone, with black and purple sludge constantly rolling and surging, emitting bursts of poisonous gas.
Hen Lajiao was dragged into the mud swamp by this sudden attack.
Because it was rooted and unable to move, even its rooting skills were still absorbing energy from the ground, but that energy had been contaminated by the mud attack, so it was constantly absorbing poison energy. It could only struggle and roar in pain in the mud.
Since Chili Pepper is a Grass and Fire-type Pokémon, it is twice as strong against Poison-type skills, and continuous sludge attacks caused huge damage to it.
Under the erosion of the poisonous mud, its emerald green skin quickly began to appear with large black spots. The black spots continued to expand and merge, as if burned by a raging fire, emitting bursts of green smoke. It was obvious that it had fallen into a state of poisoning.
At this time, the Swamp Leaper used the digging skill from another direction, came out from the side and returned to Zhang Heng, waiting for the next instruction.
Zhang Heng couldn't bear to see Hen La Jiao, who was poisoned and in great pain.
He looked up at Zhao Yu and found that although the other party had a face full of unwillingness, he might be about to surrender, and opened his mouth slightly, but Zhang Heng retained his last dignity.
"Fish leaping from the swamp, rocks collapsing!"
Swamp Leaper slammed his hands on the ground, and several huge rocks suddenly emerged from the earth, crashing down with great force onto the collapsed ground. These rocks piled up on top of each other, forming a stone road made of rocks.
The tacit understanding between Zhang Heng and the Swamp Leaping Fish is not exaggerated. The Swamp Leaping Fish has already felt the kindness in his master's heart.
The swamp jumper jumped on the rocks and approached Hen Lajiao step by step. After reaching Hen Lajiao, the swamp jumper stretched out a hand, scooped it out steadily, and then brought it back to the flat ground.
