Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Chapter 286 Lurina vs. Puna

The filming crew of the group was very fast, and the protagonist Puna and the challengers who followed were also very strong. Starting from Shuizhou Gym, they went all the way to Road No. 5 on the west side of Shuizhou Town without stopping.

They could already see Lurina waiting there silently.

Lurina stood on the side of the road, holding a Poké Ball tightly in one hand, her face solemn, as if she was very nervous.

Puna couldn't help but smile. She didn't think Lurina was that strong. It would be great if she had two or three king-level Pokémon.

When Lurina left Shuizhou Town, she only had three gym leader-level Pokémon. At that time, Puna had all gym leader-level Pokémon, and they were sprinting towards the king level.

Although she had some guidance and help from her father, Puna started to cultivate and train Pokémon on her own at the age of six. She believed that her experience and strength were totally incomparable to that of Lurina.

Even with the help of the group... the group can only provide resources at most, and Lulina can only produce one or two king-level ones at best.

But in a moment, Puna quickly came to Lurina, looked her up from head to toe with a look of disdain.

Lurina didn't care. Her solemn expression gradually calmed down. She held the Poké Ball in her right hand and threw it upwards lightly, then quickly caught it.

Seeing this, Puna raised her eyebrows in confusion, but soon put it aside and tilted her head to signal the host Ryan next to her to start quickly.

Ryan checked the time. It was eleven o'clock.

Although it was not in line with the original schedule, it was too fast. But the timing was just right, and after the game, I could still go for lunch.

The idle cameras at the back were all turned on. He also raised the microphone in his hand and shouted in a voice that gradually rose in pitch:

"Dear audience friends, the current gym tour challenge has come to Route 5 on the west side of Shuizhou Town. We followed the contestant Puna who just won the Water Badge and met the long-awaited challenger who blocked the road! Lulina, who is also from Shuizhou Town!"

Ryan glanced at the two trainers who seemed impatient, and quickly recited the prepared script:

"Both contestants are from Shuizhou Town, but one is the daughter of a gym leader, and the other is the daughter of a fisherman. Who among them is the true genius trainer of Shuizhou Town? Who is the trainer most qualified to be the next water-attribute gym leader? This battle... will begin soon! Both trainers are ready, please release the Pokémon in your hands!"

Before she finished her words, Puna raised her arm high and threw out the Poké Ball she had prepared earlier.

"Come out, gull!"

Lurina followed closely behind:

"Violent Turtle!"

A large-billed gull with pure white wings was floating in the air, and directly opposite it was a vicious turtle with a ferocious look on its face.

The level of the black-billed gull is 46, and the level of the vicious turtle is 45, which is slightly lower.

Most water attribute Pokémon cannot fly. Puna knew that the opponent had no flying Pokémon, so she released this gull. If the gull was well-directed, it might be able to kill three or four Pokémon in a row.

Of course, the flying attribute of the Toucan is also restrained by the rock attribute of the Vicious Turtle. Who is stronger and who has the advantage depends on the specific battle situation.

Lurina had expected this and was not surprised or worried at all.

After learning from Sonia about Puna's Pokémon strength and configuration, Lurina no longer felt afraid.

Because Puna only has three King-level Pokémon in her hand, and the extra trump card is a King-level Lidou Spike held in the mouth of the Ancient Moon Bird. This is Nathan's Pokémon, and Puna should find it difficult to command it freely.

A missile from the Flying Squib is only enough to catch a Pokémon off guard and kill it instantly.

After a missile is released, the spitted out Lil'Thun is also considered Puna's Pokémon and must be taken back, otherwise it will be a two-on-one fight.

On the battlefield, the Pokémon of both sides have been released and the battle is about to begin.

Ryan, who was also the referee, waved his hand and said:

"The battle begins!"

Lurina and Puna attacked at the same time without any hesitation.

"Violent Turtle, block with rocks!"

"Big-billed Gull, Wave of Water!"

The Violent Turtle pounced on the ground with its feet, and its body was lit up with a deep yellow light. A dozen basketball-sized rocks quickly condensed in the sky.

Rock Block is a Rock-type move that counters Flying-type Pokémon and has the added effect of reducing their movement speed. It is a very good move against Flying Pokémon.

But the opponent's gull was incredibly fast. While gathering a stream of water in its mouth, it also did not forget to move its body to avoid the rocks.

The water waves shattered several rocks and shot straight towards the Violent Turtle.

But the Violent Turtle did not dodge, and Lurina did not intend to let him dodge at all. She just continued to shout:

"Rock Blockade!"

Although the Toucan is fast and can move while concentrating its moves, there must be a pause when it sprays out the water waves.

As long as you seize this moment of pause and let the rock block hit, at least you will be injured. And the small body of the big-mouthed gull is completely incomparable to the violent turtle...

Puna's face changed drastically, and she was about to call on the toucan to hide, but it was too late.

She was too confident, thinking that with the strength of the toucan, she could easily dodge the opponent's moves and attack at the same time, just like before.

This trick had always worked in Lurina's previous battles with her.

But the situation now is different from before.

Puna watched the toucan wailing as it was hit by a rock. Its wings and body were pressed and separated by two rocks. It seemed to be trembling a little, and it was difficult to tell whether it had any broken bones.

The Vicious Turtle simply shook off the water stains on its head and roared with its teeth bared.

Water resists water, and water restrains rock. This Water Wave is just ordinary damage, just a splash of water.

Ryan's voice sounded at the right time:

"Very exciting! The Pokémon of both sides exchanged moves after a fierce collision, but Owl seemed unable to withstand Tortoise's rock blockade. Not only was it injured, but its speed was also reduced. It has fallen into a passive and disadvantageous position. How should Puna ......"

The sound was transmitted from the microphone to the loudspeaker. Chibana and Dantei, who were standing at the back, watched silently. They didn't really want to watch this kind of battle.

Behind the dirt road, Malu trotted over. He didn't want to come, but when he heard that Wang Jin was here...

Maru came close to Dandi and looked around, which made Dandi feel uncomfortable all over and he took several steps towards Chibana.

"Hey...where's Brother Jin?" Maru scratched his head and walked among the staff. When he leaned against a tree, someone patted his shoulder.

"Hiss..." He jumped in fright and immediately realized something. He watched Wang Jin walk out from behind the tree. The two of them made eye contact, and then he pretended to come to Dandi and Qibana casually.
