Chapter 155 Freezing Beam? Freezing Ray! Onix knows Ice-type moves? Epic buff for Dragon-type! (Requesting...)
"This is definitely... a Crystal Onix, there's no mistake!"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes showed surprise, and his expression was one of admiration.
Such a precious Pokémon is a rare sight.
The Crystal Onix, which appeared in the anime, is a Pokémon that many people dream of owning.
Although the full picture cannot be seen at the moment.
However, his identity can still be identified at a glance through his body, which is composed of giant crystals.
It's either Onix or Steelix.
The reason Ye Yinchuan was able to identify it as Onix was not only because of some subtle differences in its body, but also because he could see its stats at a glance.
Onix (Pokémon)
[Level: 37]
[Attributes: Rock, Ice]
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: C-rank (385)]
Individual Value: Grade A (162)
【Special Feature: Shattered Armor】
[Personality: Calm and composed]
[Evolution Path: Onix - Steelix]
[Skills: Falling Rocks, Impact, Harden, Bind, Knock Down, Rock Polishing, Dragon Breath, Curse, Rock Slide, Piercing Sound, Invisible Rock, White Mist, Freezing Beam]
[Status: Anger, Vengeance]
[Trait: Ice Crystallization]
Looking at the panel in front of him, Ye Yinchuan was slightly taken aback, clicking his tongue in amazement.
This Crystal Onix is actually a Rock/Ice type.
Think about it: the Crystal Onix in the anime didn't have much of an advantage when fighting with Water-type Pokémon, but it was Fire-type Pokémon that proved effective.
Aside from what the plot requires.
It's probably related to the Crystal Onix's attributes. For some reason, it has the characteristics of ice, so it's afraid of fire!
The characteristic of "Shattered Armor" is that after being attacked, its defense will decrease and its speed will increase.
Even a regular Onix might have a useful ability.
However, this characteristic is actually a hidden characteristic, and only Pokémon whose body surface is easily damaged possess it.
Ye Yinchuan estimated that the Crystal Onix's body, being composed entirely of ice crystals, was more fragile than ordinary rock.
This can be seen from the fact that when the red-faced dragon collided with the body of the crystal giant rock snake, it caused surface shattering, which is a clue to this.
However, this kind of breakage is not a substantial injury; it is merely a crack in the surface.
The main body of the Crystal Onix remains hard; after all, given its level and strength, it cannot be as fragile as glass, shattering at the slightest touch.
"It also knows ice-type skills!"
Ye Yinchuan noticed that the Crystal Onix's attack panel displayed two moves: White Mist and Freeze Beam.
This move is something that a normal Onix could hardly master.
[Trait: Ice Crystallization]
Pokémon possessing this trait have an ice-crystal body, are of the Ice type, and can learn and master Ice-type moves.
This giant onyx underwent this unique mutation after accidentally consuming a large quantity of a certain ice-attribute ore and entering a prolonged period of dormancy!
"That's good, they even explained the reason."
Ye Yinchuan focused his gaze on the panel, where more information was displayed.
His attention returned to him.
Because the current situation involves more than just this Crystal Onix.
Instead, the Crystal Onix cut across the cave in front of them like a train on a railway track, blocking the Red-faced Dragon's path, as if deliberately obstructing it.
Just now.
The Crystal Onix's head broke through the rock wall and emerged from another direction. Its enormous head resembled a locomotive, giving off a powerful sense of oppression.
With a long horn on its head and eyes filled with anger, it roared at the red-faced dragon.
The miner foreman who witnessed all of this, as well as the viewers in the live broadcast room, were all dumbfounded, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.
[This...this is Onix?]
[It looks like glass... No, this should be crystal. It's so beautiful, without a single impurity!]
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Onix is so cool! It's almost like a dragon!]
[Oh no! Miners, run!]
[Why do I have this feeling that this giant onyx is blocking the Red-faced Dragon? It's completely blocking the Red-faced Dragon's path?]
"Host, what's going on? What should I do?"
The miner foreman was swallowing hard; anyone who saw this would be terrified.
This huge rock snake is now alone with Excadrill.
The dragon-headed exploding is about the size of one segment of this giant onix's body...
Just from this point alone, it feels like they are no match at all.
Combining the inner voice with the state of the Crystal Onix, Ye Yinchuan made a discovery.
"This is... the Crystal Onix taking revenge on the Red-faced Dragon? I see. This Crystal Onix was attacked by the Red-faced Dragon before it grew up, and was seriously injured but managed to escape."
However, the injuries were so severe that even consuming all the nearby ore was not enough to heal the wounds.
Faced with a severe food shortage and lacking the strength to continue searching for other food, the Onix forced itself to eat a cold mineral, eventually falling into a deep sleep...
Now that Onix has revived, it is seeking revenge against this Red-faced Dragon, and now it has finally found its opportunity…
Don't be fooled by how much Ye Yinchuan understood all at once.
Actually, it was the Red-faced Dragon and the Giant Onix that had a conversation.
The details of this process will not be repeated here, but in short, the Red-faced Dragon told the Crystal Onix to get lost and even attacked the Crystal Onix.
However, the Crystal Onix declared that it would absolutely not let it go today, its heart filled with all sorts of grudges...
Then, the two wild Pokémon opened up.
Or rather, the Crystal Onix finally fought back.
As he cursed and swore at the red-faced dragon, ghost-type energy surged from his body, or, in Ye Yinchuan's view, it was more like a form of resentment.
This is the move "Curse".
Since Crystal Onix doesn't have the Ghost type, the move "Curse" won't affect the enemy; instead, it becomes a buff to its own status.
In the game's design, it only reduces speed and increases attack and defense.
However, the actual effect is slightly different.
The effect of the "curse" here can be understood as gaining some improvement by paying a certain price.
Ye Yinchuan understood this curse to be a form of resentment.
The translation is as follows:
I curse you, but I'm not a ghost and I don't know any spells, so I'll just explode at you!
In short, to inflict a thousand casualties on the enemy, one can suffer eight hundred casualties on oneself!
After activating "Curse", the Crystal Onix's head trembled slightly, it roared, and simultaneously activated "Rockfall", "Smash", and "Rock Slide".
In fact, these three moves are not fundamentally different.
It's a Rock-type move that conjures rocks to attack enemies.
"Falling rocks" refers to smaller stones.
"Shoot down" focuses more on launching the stone.
A "rockfall" is caused by a large rock, making it even more powerful.
When these three moves are combined, stones of all sizes begin to coalesce under the energy manipulation of the Crystal Onix...
Some fell directly from the red-faced dragon's head, while others coalesced and blasted towards it like cannonballs. Still others simply dug up nearby rocks and hurled them at the dragon with the energy they had gathered...
In short, the use of moves in the Pokémon world is not as rigid and fixed as in the games.
It is very flexible, and many of its moves are even common to each other.
When combined, they become more versatile or more powerful, making them difficult for the enemy to deal with.
For the audience.
They might not even know which moves the Crystal Onix used, but all sorts of stones flew around like a storm, smashing Red-faced Dragon everywhere and leaving it dizzy and disoriented.
[Incredible! Is this a wild Onix?!]
Wow... Even a professionally trained Onix wouldn't be this good, right?
Wow, these rocks are like a meteor shower! Who can dodge them? Who can withstand them?
The comments section was buzzing with excitement, all expressing amazement at the power of this Crystal Onix.
Ye Yinchuan nodded as well.
This Crystal Onix is amazing.
However, Rock-type moves are not entirely insurmountable for Red-faced Dragon.
After all, the Red-faced Dragon's body is also very strong, especially the skin on its face, which can easily shatter rocks and hit its face without causing any harm.
In addition, this red-faced dragon is characterized by "rough skin". The hard and uneven parts of its body surface are enhanced with special energy. If you fight it in melee, your opponent will suffer damage from these.
In such a scenario, "rough skin" can also provide a certain degree of defense. For example, the energy on it will collide with incoming rocks, and the protruding parts can also cause the rocks to shatter upon contact.
Why does it feel like all the talk and no action?
[It must be because the Red-faced Dragon is too resilient; any other Pokémon would probably have been crushed to death by now!]
No, no, no, the Crimson-Faced Dragon is still struggling. Look, that big rock just now, it was like a siege cannon, the Crimson-Faced Dragon was blasted to the point of coughing up blood!
At this moment, the red-faced dragon also realized that the Crystal Giant Onix was not to be trifled with.
After attempting a few attacks, I found it difficult to inflict any real damage on the Crystal Onix.
It decisively turned around, intending to escape in another direction.
As the saying goes, if you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?
However, when the red-faced dragon turned its head, it saw the miner foreman and the dragon-headed ground squirrel.
Anger and panic flashed in its cold eyes.
This puts the Crimson-Faced Dragon in a truly precarious situation, caught between a rock and a hard place!
It's too late to say.
At this moment, only a few breaths had passed since the miner foreman questioned Ye Yinchuan.
Faced with the Crystal Giant Onix, the Red-faced Dragon, and the exaggerated, dust-filled rock bombardment, they were left speechless.
The miner foreman was somewhat bewildered; he didn't know what the situation was or what he should do.
Should we run away?
The miner foreman was filled with fear when faced with the powerful Crystal Onix.
Even the Red-faced Dragon was no match for it.
Even his Excadrill, along with all the Pokémon in the mining team, might not be a match for this Crystal Onix!
Especially with this wave of rock bombardment, what's the use of having a lot of Pokémon? One rock and they're all crushed!
"Have Excadrill block Red-faced Dragon! You step back! Onix's target is also Red-faced Dragon; it has no hostility towards you!"
Ye Yinchuan made a judgment based on the current situation.
Tell the miner foreman to step back, because he is only made of flesh and blood. Even if he has received the energy back from the Pokémon, he cannot withstand a Pokémon battle of this level. He would be badly injured if he were even grazed.
More importantly...
There are no better options now.
If the Red-faced Dragon isn't stopped, the Crystal Onix will relentlessly pursue them, or its attack range will increase, making the mining team vulnerable to being caught in the crossfire.
Once the Red-faced Dragon was stopped, the problem with the Crystal Onix was solved, and naturally, everything was fine.
Onix is a Pokémon that does not attack humans unless provoked.
Their food consists of minerals; they don't eat meat and don't have a strong sense of territory.
This Crystal Onix had even shown a friendly attitude towards the foreman and the Dragon Head Grub.
It's very simple: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
If the mining team hadn't injured the Red-faced Dragon, it wouldn't have had such a good opportunity.
"Dragon-headed Groundhog, use that move to stop the Red-faced Dragon and end the battle!"
The miner foreman chose to trust Ye Yinchuan and gave instructions to the dragon-headed mole.
"Metal Claw"!
"High-speed rotation!"
"Angle drill"!
In that instant, the Dragon Head Groundhog unleashed three attacks almost simultaneously.
This combination of attacks is also one of its most powerful tactics.
The dragon-headed ground squirrel's head and claws came together to form a giant drill, while its body leaped into the air and spun rapidly, carrying powerful destructive force as it charged straight at the red-faced dragon!
"Hold on!"
Faced with the terrifying moves of the Dragon Head Mole.
Even the Crimson-Faced Dragon wouldn't dare to take this attack head-on.
The giant rock snake behind them also showed a look of fear.
That's why they say "Dragon Head Groundhog," also known as "Rat Head Groundhog." With just this one combo, who wouldn't be confused?
It's drilling into the Great Iron Snake's waist; it might even break it!
A massive amount of energy surged from the red-faced dragon's body, forming an incredibly powerful defense in a fierce manner.
This is one of the strongest defensive moves of the Normal type, "Protect"!
The principle of "holding" is very simple: it involves mobilizing all energy for defense, and ideally, it can almost negate all the enemy's damage.
The reason I say "ideally" is because the "hold" move has some unique characteristics.
One characteristic is that if the defense is evenly distributed, meaning that energy is continuously output, the defense will last longer. However, in this way, the intensity of the defense is also distributed.
The second characteristic is that if it's an explosive defense, meaning energy bursts forth at a certain point, the defensive strength will be greatly increased, but the defense time is short, and the timing is crucial. If the timing of the defense is wrong, the effect will be worse than the former.
Thirdly, because "holding" involves mobilizing all available energy for defense, you cannot counterattack during this process. Continuous use consumes a lot of energy, easily leading to fatigue and diminishing effectiveness.
Similar to the effect of "Defend" in a game, using it repeatedly can easily lead to failure.
At this moment, the Red-Faced Dragon clearly gave them face, using an explosive defensive move.
Because it sensed that the dragon-headed mole's attack was blocked by a conventional defense.
Let alone completely resist it, it might be pierced through the moment it touches you.
On the surface, there seems to be a choice, but in reality, there is no choice!
Clang! Buzz—Bang!
Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing and the thunderous roar of surging energy.
The Red-faced Dragon successfully withstood the attack from the Dragon-headed Groundhog.
However, it was not entirely successful.
The dragon-headed ground squirrel successfully broke through the defenses at the very tip of its drill and reached the red-faced dragon, forcing the dragon to use its hardest face to collide with it. As a result, a small hole appeared on its forehead, with the surrounding area broken and bleeding.
The powerful energy impact also caused the red-faced dragon to stagger backward a distance.
[So strong!]
[The Dragon Head Groundhog is awesome!]
The audience was also impressed.
Because of its previous performance, coupled with the strength of Dragon-type Pokémon, it gave the audience a very powerful performance.
Including this giant onyx, the Red-faced Dragon can be said to be fighting four opponents at once.
Its resilience in the face of a disadvantaged position speaks volumes about its strength.
The fact that Dragon Head Mole was able to injure its opponent twice in a battle of this level naturally carries weight in the eyes of the audience.
After all, the dragon-headed mole is a mole!
This is like a Pikachu defeating a Charmander; it wouldn't be too surprising.
But what if a caterpillar defeats a little dragon...?
That makes it seem like this caterpillar is ridiculously strong!
However, the sentence is still the same.
The red-faced dragon is not only strong, but also very tenacious.
Even under such circumstances, the moment the Dragon Head Rat's attack ended, it used a combination of "Metal Claw," "Dragon Claw," and "Slash" to grab the Dragon Head Rat.
boast--
Clang!
The helmet-like part on the head of the dragon-headed ground squirrel was deformed and cut open by the red-faced dragon's claws under the power of its attack.
If it weren't for the Dragon Head Groundhog reacting at the crucial moment and immediately using its two steel claws to block the Red-Faced Dragon's terrifying attack that could cut through iron like mud...
Then its head might have to be cut open like that.
Wow! Is this what battles between wild Pokémon are like?! It's so bloody and deadly!
[I, the little mouse, almost died!]
Ye Yinchuan was also sweating bullets for Longtou Gopher.
That red-faced dragon is truly ruthless.
Or rather, the energy of the dragon element is simply too powerful.
Despite having the advantage in base stats and level, Excadrill always manages to achieve remarkable success whenever Reddragon uses its Dragon-type moves!
It is clear.
In the world of Pokémon, Reddra is no longer a disgrace to the dragon race!
Or rather, the dragon race has received an epic buff!
Otherwise, Ye Yinchuan would not be able to explain why the Crimson-Faced Dragon was performing so powerfully.
You should know that, according to the game's settings...
Excadrill, a Steel-type Pokémon, is not afraid of Dragon-type Pokémon.
Due to type advantage, damage from Dragon-type attacks will be reduced by half.
Of course, Ye Yinchuan also made a reasonable conjecture.
If it weren't for the fact that the Dragon Head Grub has a steel-type component, its head would have been sliced open like a watermelon by now.
"Dragon-headed groundhog!"
The miner foreman was also nervous about his Pokémon; his heart was pounding in his throat.
Fortunately, tragedy did not occur. After blocking the attack, the Dragon Head Groundhog pushed off with both feet and distanced itself from the Red-faced Dragon.
At this moment, the Crystal Giant Rock Serpent seized the opportunity and launched a vicious attack on the Red-Faced Dragon!
What is this?!
Look, it's an Onix!
White mist had begun to emanate from around the Crystal Onix, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.
This is the move "White Mist".
In the game, the effect is to cover oneself and not be affected by the opponent's ability reduction.
However, in the Pokémon world, its effect is to obscure the enemy's vision, making it difficult for the enemy to hit vital points, and to reduce the enemy's speed due to the cold.
This white mist isn't even the most eye-catching part.
But then the Crystal Onix opened its mouth, and ice-type energy condensed within. The next second, a beam of cold light shot out towards the Red-faced Dragon.
The red-faced dragon suddenly felt a chill run down its spine and tried to dodge, but the surrounding rocks blocked its path.
It dodged, but the beam followed closely, as if freezing its feet, rendering it immobile, and then shot straight upwards...
The red-faced dragon was frozen into an ice sculpture in a state of horror and rage.
[Holy crap! Am I seeing things? Onix knows Ice-type moves?]
[That's a freezing beam! The Red-Faced Dragon was defeated in one hit!]
[We usually call this cryogenic radiation! That's outrageous!]
The live stream chat is flooded with comments.
There is no other reason.
The Ice-type moves that Crystal Onix displayed at this moment were truly astonishing to everyone.
Even Ye Yinchuan, who already knew about it, couldn't help but take a deep breath when he actually saw the scene before him.
This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
Onix that can use the Freeze Beam—such a Pokémon is simply unbelievable, the best of the best!
@LongShao: [Where is this giant Onix? I'll pay five million to catch it! Six million including this Red-faced Dragon!]
At this moment, a comment appeared on the screen.
Why is Young Master Long here?
[They probably came because they smelled the red-faced dragon!]
[Hilarious, are red-faced dragons really that worthless?]
At this moment, Long Shao, who had been secretly watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't resist showing himself.
The red-faced dragon is one thing, but this crystal giant onyx has a unique shape and incredible abilities.
This really made him unable to resist revealing that he had been secretly watching Ye Yinchuan's live stream.
The last time the two had a falling out, it ended with Long Shao losing and having to apologize in a disheveled manner.
Therefore, Long Shao no longer wanted to watch Ye Yinchuan's live stream.
However, the content of this live stream is too attractive. Even if you have a grudge against the streamer, you can't help but get more and more hooked... It's so good!
"Discussions about Pokémon trading are prohibited in the live stream. Please contact me privately if you are interested."
Ye Yinchuan immediately muted Long Shao for half an hour.
It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting.
"Wow, this streamer really holds a grudge!"
Long Shao looked at himself, unable to send another comment, and couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.
"Young Master Long, I have a plan."
Someone nearby said.
User "Long Shao" gifted a Poké Ball*1
[Gift message: Haha, streamer, you can ban it! Go ahead and turn off gift rewards if you dare!]
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan was also helpless.
Well, this is tit for tat. Young Master Long's move can be considered mutually destructive.
At this time.
The Crystal Onix seemed to feel relieved, or perhaps it felt that its freezing beam was enough to kill the Red-faced Dragon.
So it glanced at the foreman and the dragon-headed gopher, squeaked, turned around, drilled a new hole in the rock wall, twisted its body, and dug away.
[So this is how Onix digs its burrows! I've learned something new!]
"You're leaving already?"
"What are you waiting for? Quickly catch this Red-faced Dragon and put it in a Poké Ball, then take it to the Pokémon Center for emergency treatment. Red-faced Dragons are very afraid of the cold; if left unattended, it'll freeze to death."
Ye Yinchuan reminded the mine foreman.
As for capturing the Red-Faced Dragon and what happens after the successful rescue, he doesn't need to worry about that.
The miner's foreman was also a professional trainer, so he naturally knew how to operate it.
"Okay! Great!"
The foreman took out a Poké Ball and threw it at the Red-faced Dragon.
Although the red-faced dragon was frozen, its instincts remained.
Sensing that there was a dark and secluded environment inside the Poké Ball where one could hide, I transformed into a red light and entered the Poké Ball.
Red-faced Dragon, captured successfully!
The Crystal Onix gradually moved away, and the surrounding tremors also stopped.
The other miners also arrived one after another.
"The Red-faced Dragon has been captured, but it needs urgent treatment! And the Dragon-headed Groundhog is also seriously injured..."
The foreman explained the situation to everyone, and it was more good news than bad.
"Host, I'm taking the Pokémon to the nearest Pokémon Center now. Thank you so much for your help today!"
The miners expressed their gratitude and presented each other with gifts.
Ye Yinchuan took a look and saw that they were giving away Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Silver Leaves. All in all, the profit was quite good.
The miner foreman, in particular, gave away three Master Balls, which brought him three thousand dollars.
[Host, can you tell me about that Onix? How come it's an Ice-type?!]
At this moment, the comments section was also very anxious, eagerly awaiting Ye Yinchuan's explanation and explanation.
Ye Yinchuan nodded:
"This Onix is truly extraordinary. I call it... the Crystal Onix!"
Sorry for the late update, here's a 6-word update! The storylines of the Red-faced Dragon and the Crystal Onix are basically over!
(End of this chapter)
