BXBX NOVEL Chapter 799: Vine
Chapter 799: Vine
Breloom, holding the wooden hammer, resembled a high-speed moving projectile. Cacturne and Meganium couldn\'t react in time, and Breloom reached Cacturne in an instant.
Quick on its feet, Cacturne dodged the hammer\'s strike, but Breloom landed a powerful Focus Punch right in its belly, causing Cacturne to bend over and fly backward.
Breloom had been charging its Focus Punch for a while, putting all its strength into the blow. As a result, Cacturne was left incapacitated on the ground.
Cacturne was at a disadvantage due to its vulnerability to Fighting-type moves, and Breloom\'s punch had dealt it a severe blow.
Seeing Cacturne down, the onlookers of trainers couldn\'t help but murmur, acknowledging that this was indeed a battle between Elite trainers. Even though both Pokémon were of similar levels, the actual power gap was quite significant.
Yuga, on the other hand, considered this outcome normal. After all, Ms. Momiji wasn\'t a full-time trainer, and Breloom had accumulated extensive battle experience from numerous past fights, making the difference in combat experience quite evident.
Cacturne struggled to get back on its feet, but without hesitation, Breloom took a large stride forward, reaching Cacturne and lifting its fist, ready to use its Brick Break move.
"Meganium, quick, save Cacturne!" Seeing Breloom\'s intentions, Ms. Momiji\'s face turned pale as she urgently commanded Meganium to intervene.
Upon hearing the command, Meganium immediately used Reflect in front of Cacturne, creating a transparent crystal wall, attempting to block Breloom\'s attack.
However, after two rounds of Swords Dance, Breloom\'s attack had become incredibly potent, and the Reflect barrier shattered at Breloom\'s powerful Brick Break.
Before Meganium could use another Reflect, Torterra launched its attack. Stone Edge rained down on Meganium, striking her body. Meganium cried out in pain and fell to the ground. The Reflect barrier she was attempting to create dissipated halfway.
Meganium\'s rescue attempt couldn\'t make it in time, and Cacturne had to exit the battle directly.
It could be said that when Cacturne entered the battle, it didn\'t achieve much before exiting.
"This is too strong, it\'s not even on the same level. Our boss often spars with us, but we\'ve never seen her in such a sorry state."
"Can you even compare yourself to her?"
"So pitiful, really, facing such a beautiful boss, shouldn\'t there be some chivalry?"
"Will the boss cry?"
"Do you think the boss is you?"
"It\'s just the beginning, why are you in such a hurry!"
...
Momiji hadn\'t expected her Cacturne to be defeated so quickly. She had confidence in her Cacturne since it was her starter Pokémon.
However, before Momiji could dwell on it, Yuga\'s next wave of attacks came, prompting her to release her third Pokémon.
Momiji\'s third Pokémon was Tangrowth, another pseudo-Elite level Pokémon.
Seeing Momiji send out three pseudo-Elite level Pokémon in succession, Yuga knew her breeding expertise was undoubtedly high, likely at an advanced breeder level at the very least.
For wealthy individuals like Momiji, breeding pseudo-Elite level Pokémon was much easier as long as they had the money and resources compared to regular trainers.
This Tangrowth had the Chlorophyll ability, so as soon as it entered the battle, Meganium used Sunny Day.
With the sharply increased speed, Tangrowth\'s numerous vines wrapped around it suddenly extended, turning into eerie tentacles reaching out toward Breloom and Torterra.
Torterra, with its large size, managed to resist the vines; they seemed troublesome but didn\'t pose a significant threat.
Breloom, on the other hand, was in a dire situation.
Yuga\'s Breloom, despite its formidable strength, had a petite physique. It was even shorter than Yuga\'s chin, and facing these vines, it was utterly helpless, instantly being caught.
Tangrowth\'s vines were quite flexible, and Yuga\'s Breloom didn\'t have moves like Leaf Blade. When its punches landed on the vines, they were ineffective.
Yuga noticed that this Tangrowth was quite impressive. As long as it had enough energy, Tangrowth\'s vines could grow indefinitely. By skillfully utilizing Tangrowth\'s vines, it had formed an effective means of attack and control.
Thinking this, Yuga also noticed that Tangrowth was using the Ingrain move while extending its vines, continuously drawing energy from the ground.
Although they were on an aircraft, their current battlefield was made of soil.
At this point, Tangrowth had already controlled Breloom and brought it to Meganium, intending to have Meganium help deal with Breloom.
The Tangrowth itself was already multitasking and didn\'t have extra energy to deal with Breloom.
"Torterra, use Earth Power beneath Tangrowth\'s feet."
If they were outside, Yuga would have instructed Torterra to use Earthquake. However, Earthquake\'s destructive power was too strong, and using it would ruin the battlefield.
Torterra complied, stomping its front right foot on the ground. A yellowish beam of light shot along the ground towards Tangrowth.
Although the effect of Torterra\'s Earth Power wasn\'t visible on the surface, the underground shook for a moment, causing Tangrowth\'s root system buried in the ground to break one by one.
Without its rooting ability to provide energy to the vines, Tangrowth\'s entangling vines immediately withered at a visible rate.
Even the vines\' original softness disappeared, greatly reducing their flexibility.
However, Breloom had still been delivered to Meganium\'s vicinity and was struck by Meganiun\'s Petal Dance.
The Tangrowth vines lost their previous flexibility and softness. Suddenly, they were hit by Meganium\'s Petal Dance, the vines that bound Breloom broke, and Breloom regained its freedom.
Despite the reduced damage of Meganium\'s Petal Dance against Breloom, which was also a Grass-type Pokémon, and considering Meganium\'s relatively low attack power, Breloom appeared to be heavily damaged.
The fallen Breloom quickly seized a broken vine and, using it as a makeshift weapon, swung the other end at Tangrowth.
Breloom had a significant advantage in strength due to the leverage it gained from the broken vine. Tangrowth was thrown around in the air, turning several times before being heavily slammed onto the ground.
During this time, Meganium attempted to rescue Tangrowth, but Torterra intervened. Whenever Meganium attempted to take a step forward, Torterra\'s Stone Edge landed precisely at its feet.
Both of these Pokémon were not specialized in direct combat, and for a moment, neither could prevail over the other.
Meganium is a Herb Pokémon, naturally emitted a sweet aroma, but compared to the other Pokémon, its fragrance was more captivating.
Seeing that Tangrowth was about to be utterly defeated by Breloom and unable to approach herself, Meganium used Sweet Scent.
This alluring fragrance affected not only Breloom and Torterra but even Yuga felt slightly dizzy from it.
