Chapter 314 "Countdown?! What does this mean?! Defeat Suicune in 30 seconds?!"
The viewers in the live chat had barely recovered from the shock of seeing countless unknown totems come to life, and hadn't even had time to catch their breath.
Then, the appearance of this legendary figure blew his soul out of his body, causing him to completely explode and fall into a state of madness.
"Suicune?! Am I seeing things?! It's Suicune! Is it the Suicune I know?!"
"A legend from the Johto region! The embodiment of the north wind that purifies water! How did it end up here?!"
"Summoned by unknown totems?! What are the origins of these unknown totems?!"
"The game design is amazing! From the text to the totems, and then to the summoning legends! The plot connections and imagination are incredible! The animation is absolutely stunning! Mr. Xianyu, you are my god!"
"What I'm saying is—based on that old scoundrel's usual methods, is it possible—that everything presented here is actually true—"
"Why are you recording this! Stop standing there! Stop standing there! It would be such a waste to record this!"
"Suicune! One of the three legendary beasts of the Johto region, the embodiment of the North Wind!"
With his knowledge of Pokémon, Qishu was the first to recover from the shock and exclaimed in disbelief.
But she immediately realized the huge logical contradiction.
"Wait! No! Suicune's whereabouts are a mystery. Even if she appears, it's only to purify those polluted water sources—"
"But how could it appear underground in ancient ruins? And in this way—summoned by an unknown totem? This, this is simply—"
Her questions hadn't even had a chance to be fully explored.
roar-
In the game, the Suicune, surrounded and protected by countless unknown totems, let out a majestic roar without warning!
With limbs slightly bent, he suddenly leaped into the air!
Its movements are as graceful as a dance, yet they carry a chilling fighting spirit!
Clear water appeared out of thin air, instantly condensing and shaping in front of him, transforming into several water spears that gleamed with a cold light!
The spears tore through the air with a piercing shriek, shooting mercilessly toward the small, strange tree below!
The attack came too fast! Too suddenly!
This is completely beyond the scope of "normal wilderness encounters"!
This was completely unexpected for all the viewers in the live stream!
"Balaurel leaf! Block with Flying Leaf Blade!"
Fortunately, Qishu was, after all, a battle-hardened gym leader with extremely high combat skills, and he reacted and commanded almost instinctively the moment the attack was launched.
The energy of the laurel leaf's neck converged, releasing dozens of sharp energy blades to meet the oncoming water spear!
However, the moment the energy blade made contact with the water spear, it was easily pierced like a fragile piece of paper, turning into specks of green light and dissipating!
Those water spears were incredibly powerful, and their momentum remained undiminished!
Still carrying a chill, it headed straight for the little strange tree!
Just as the attack was about to hit, a resolute glint flashed in Laurel Leaf's eyes!
Instead of using its move again, it suddenly let out a low growl.
With a powerful leap from all fours, it charged sideways and used its relatively small body to block the trainer from the water spear!
"Basil leaf! No! Get out of the way!"
Qi Shu was terrified and tried to stop it, but it was too late!
Several water spears pierced deeply into Laurel Leaf's body!
Accompanied by the game's unique hit sound effects, Laurel Leaf's stamina bar plummeted instantly, reaching zero and entering a dangerous red critical state!
It let out a painful whimper, its body swaying as if it could barely stand.
"Idiot! Why didn't you dodge?! It's just a game—"
Kiki looked at the small figure on the screen, who was severely injured and swaying precariously in order to protect "himself".
My nose tingled, and my voice choked up.
It's just a string of data, a virtual Pokémon —
But once again, it took the liberty of choosing to protect her.
There was no time for her to be sad or to process her emotions.
A wave of unrest, a wave of up!
Beside Suicune, the clear water rapidly converged and solidified once more, forming several water spears radiating murderous intent, poised to strike!
at the same time.
drop!
A sharp system notification sound rang out!
At the very top of the game screen, a bright red progress bar suddenly appeared, displaying a clear countdown number.
00:30
Countdown 30 second.
The red glow illuminated the entire game screen, creating a suffocating sense of oppression!
The numbers kept jumping, each one striking a chord in Qishu's heart.
The screen was instantly flooded with comments again, a mix of shock, emotion, anxiety, and discussion.
"Countdown?! What does this mean?! Defeat Suicune in 30 seconds?!"
"Holy crap! A timed survival mode?! The pressure is building up instantly!"
"Basil leaf! Bay leaf, my bay leaf! I love it so much! I'm crying! QAQ"
"This game design is so malicious! You get a legendary Pokémon and a time-limited stage right after the first gym?! You old scoundrel, come out and take your punishment!"
"Suicune is way too strong! That attack just now wasn't even a water-type move from the game! A mere stream of water can have this kind of power?!"
"This stat balance is off! And this is only after the first gym! You old scoundrel, have some decency!"
Qi Shu didn't have time to read the comments carefully; all her attention was drawn to the bright red countdown, and her heart was pounding.
Countdown! Why did a countdown suddenly appear?!
Could it really be that I'm supposed to defeat this Suicune, which looks like it's impossible to beat, in 30 seconds?!
No way?! No way?! It can't really be like this!?
How is this possible?! I just challenged my first gym! The average level of my team is only 15! This is so unbalanced!
Who designed this game?!
A strong sense of resentment arose in Qishu's heart towards a certain game producer.
This is blatant bullying of honest people!
Currently, Laurel Leaf has been severely injured and has almost lost its ability to fight.
If you summon another Gastly of similar level, it will probably just be a sitting duck against Suicune, and its fate won't be much better than Bayleef's.
This seems like a dead end no matter how you look at it.
The only option left is to take a gamble.
The point of this countdown is not to defeat, but to survive!
If you can survive the next 30 seconds, the plot will be triggered, and you can escape this desperate situation!
Qi Shu gritted her teeth; she had no other choice!
At worst, the screen will just go black and you'll end up at the Pokémon Center to start over—though it might be embarrassing.
Don't underestimate me!
Qishu took a deep breath, clearing his mind of distractions, his gaze hardening once more. He shouted at the screen, "I, Lord Qishu, am the Gym Leader of the Padilla region, a super-popular streamer, and a seasoned gaming master!"
She decisively abandoned the foolish idea of confronting them head-on and instead summoned back the heavily injured Laurel Leaf.
Controlling the little tree, I began to make extreme maneuvers, relying on the game character's agility to use the terrain and my skills to kill time!
Although the entire underground ruins were occupied by countless unknown totems, the space was still relatively open, and there were several stone pillars in the center of the site that could be used to conceal one's figure.
In other words.
As long as your skills are flashy and your movements are agile enough.
She might be able to use her agile movements to dodge the damage and survive those 30 deadly seconds!
The water spears around Suicune shot out again!
With a nimble side somersault and a dash, Little Tree narrowly dodged the first wave and slipped behind the nearest stone pillar!
As expected, the water spears that had been tracking them slammed into the thick stone pillar.
Although a lot of stone chips were knocked off, causing obvious damage, it did not affect the little strange tree hiding behind it at all!
There's hope! This method works!
"Hmph~ I thought it would be much harder~"
Qi Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his tense little face relaxed, and even a smug smile appeared on his face, his small nose slightly upturned.
"Is this the legendary Pokémon Suicune? Its attack pattern seems pretty simple... just average."
'
However, she set this goal far too quickly.
The words hadn't even completely faded from his lips.
Mutation and regeneration!
Several more water spears condensed around Suicune!
But unlike before, this time, it moved!
That elegant azure figure no longer stood still and attacked from a distance, but instead used all four legs to pounce forward as swiftly and silently as a real north wind!
The water spears surrounding it moved with its movements, their target the small, strange tree hidden behind the stone pillar!
The speed is astonishing!
"No! That's not right!"
Qi Shu's smile froze on his face instantly, his eyes widening as he stared at the screen in disbelief.
"Shouldn't the boss stand there motionless, and the players dodge by running around the pillars?! Why is it actively chasing after us?!"
"This doesn't make sense in a game! It's only 30 seconds! I clearly planned my route! How can it be so difficult?!"
The live chat was filled with laughter at the contrast between her confident assertion and her sudden reversal of her statement, creating a joyful atmosphere.
"Hahahaha! Kiju-chan's smile hasn't disappeared, it's just moved to my face!"
"Just so-so"
"Game Logic: Your Preconceived Boss Battle vs. the Boss Battle Designed by Salty Fish Teacher"
"Suiki: I heard someone's trying to block my view? Like the King of Qin circling the pillar?"
"A stationary target? No, I'm an intelligent, self-propelled artillery piece!"
"On the speed at which FIag takes effect (1/1)"
Seeing that Suicune was close by with its icy water spear, Killus had no choice but to hurriedly control Little Killus to perform a clumsy slide tackle and dart away from the other side of the stone pillar!
I don't know if it was a coincidence or if she was really good at it.
This attack formed a right angle with the trajectory of the charging Suicune, and several pursuing water spears whistled past her clothes, hitting nothing!
"That was close!"
Qi Shu patted his flat chest, still shaken, his expression constantly changing as the game progressed.
The next ten seconds or so turned into a chaotic display of her "body movements"!
Under her control, the little tree leaped and bounded, rolled, slid, and made sudden stops and changes of direction.
Various maneuvers were employed, and the man was constantly on the run between several stone pillars, facing numerous dangers. Although his health did not drop, his mental stress was at its peak!
Once again, he narrowly avoided a barrage of water spears by using a stone pillar to block his view.
Qi Shu's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, as if he had grasped some pattern, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up again.
"I think I've found a bug! No, I should say I've found the characteristics of Suicune's attack mode!"
'
She carefully maneuvered the little tree to block Suicune's movement, making subtle rotations around a stone pillar.
"Did you all notice? Although it chases after us, its water spear attack seems to only hit a fan-shaped area directly in front of it!"
"If we use the pillar, we can quickly move to its side or rear at a right angle the instant it attacks, or get behind it!"
"Its attack will miss, or even hit the pillar!"
Her tone became relaxed again, even a little boastful, as she told the live stream viewers, "In other words! The initiative in this seemingly impossible 'escape' is actually in our hands!"
"Just keep moving, and time your movements and positioning well."
"In this seemingly impossible challenge, the scales of victory have already tipped in my favor, Lord Qishu!"
Eyes: Got it. Hands: You don't know anything!
"Wow! Genius! Is this the understanding of a top game streamer? Terrifying!"
"Quick! Take notes! This is valuable (pseudo) battle data for legendary Pokémon!"
"Regarding my habit of exploiting bugs when I can't beat the opponent"
"Teacher Salty Fish: 6, will fix it in the next update."
"Quick! Only 10 seconds left on the countdown! Stay calm!"
The comments section was very supportive, with many praising the comments and making the atmosphere lively again.
With Qi Shu seemingly having mastered the technique, dodging became "thrilling but safe."
The countdown numbers ticked down, reaching the final 10 seconds.
Qi Shu's operation became increasingly "effortless and carefree," even—
I'm starting to get a little carried away.
Little Qishu no longer runs away all the time; occasionally, it will even make a "provocative" standby gesture from a safe distance.
Or they wait until Suicune is very close before dodging, as if dancing on a knife's edge, creating maximum entertainment value.
Logically speaking, if you don't court death, you won't die.
But Qishu clearly does not belong to the category of those who believe in this way.
After this series of "playful" maneuvers, Suicune suddenly stopped and stood still.
It slowly turned around, and suddenly, wisps of ominous black energy emerged from its previously cold, scarlet pupils!
Its entire azure body seemed to be shrouded in a faint black shadow, and the oppressive feeling it exuded suddenly increased, making people tremble with fear!
It no longer obsessively pursues the "Little Wonder Tree".
The water floating around me is rapidly expanding, compressing, and deforming!
Those water spears instantly merged and evolved into a highly condensed, rotating water cannon radiating terrifying energy fluctuations!
It's almost as thick as half a stone pillar!
Zzz—BOOM!!!
Without the slightest hesitation, a water cannon, brimming with fury, roared out like a high-pressure water jet!
Instead of aiming at the little strange tree, it struck directly at the thick stone pillar that she had just used to block her way and relied on the most!
Amidst the deafening roar of shattering, the weathered stone pillar was pierced directly by this powerful cannon shot.
It was blown in half!
The upper half of the pillar collapsed with a roar, kicking up clouds of dust!
Gravel flew everywhere!
"It, it, it actually!!!"
Qi Shu was stunned; his mouth gaped open in an "O" shape.
But even though he was a well-educated broadcaster, he couldn't come up with a "beautiful" one after struggling for a long time.
The vocabulary.
Her fair face flushed red with anger, and in the end, she could only lodge a tearful complaint.
"It cheated! It cheated! How could it change its tactics at the last minute?! This is bullying! This is unfair!"
However, Suicune in the game clearly lacks the spirit of fair competition.
Amidst the smoke and dust of the ruins, the water cannons began to recharge once more.
The cannon re-locked onto the small, unprotected tree.
The azure water spun rapidly, transforming into a beautiful spiral turbulence on the screen, and growing larger and larger!
There's nowhere to hide, nowhere to avoid.
All movement skills pale in comparison to absolute range and power.
"It's over, it's all over—"
