Chapter 861: Chapter 724: The Might of the Fire God_2
Su Shu's Hudidi, even without being that exaggerated, had shown extraordinary strength ever since its Casey period.
Regrettably, despite possessing such physical strength, this particular Hudidi had quite mediocre, even poor superpower talents. Nevertheless, Su Shu had never given up on nurturing it as a Beginner Elf, believing that one day Hudidi could become stronger.
The robust physical qualities granted Hudidi the ability to withstand strengthening moves and enhancements from Psychics better than other Psychic System Elves. Therefore, Su Shu's superpower augmentation techniques, combined with this Hudidi, could be maximized, which had been their mode of interaction all along.
Consequently, Su Shu didn't blindly push Hudidi to pursue psychic power but emphasized training its physical strength and mastering moves like Teleport and Future Sight. Alone, Hudidi might not be very powerful, but together with Trainer Su Shu, the power it could exert was enough to intimidate Jiang Li.
"With such incredible physical strength, if this Hudidi had the chance to undergo Mega Evolution, it would certainly become a terrifying entity," Fang Yuan muttered to himself.
MEGA Hudidi lost all its muscle strength as it transformed all its power into psychic power during Super Evolution, resulting in the need to float in the air using psychic abilities. How terrifying could it be if this Hudidi's physical strength were completely converted into psychic power?
"Pity, there is no Super Stone available."
Every member of the China Team was aware of Hudidi's prowess, and Gura did not dare to underestimate it, so he sent out his second ace right from the start.
On the field, with Su Shu's regular limit amplification, Hudidi momentarily possessed the combat power of a Top Second Stage fighter. The burst of strength from its muscles, together with the psychic waves diffusing in the air, signaled that Hudidi's ability was no less than Fang Yuan's Monferno.
However, Gura was simply too strong. His Incineroar almost had a natural advantage over Psychic Type Pokemon, forcing Su Shu to switch out Pokemon, but the new one was still no match for Incineroar.
In the end, Su Shu managed to barely defeat Incineroar only after losing three Top-Level Combat Power Pokemon and Hudidi having lost half its physical strength. And that was just the beginning of Gura's display of power.
Following Incineroar, Gura, expressionless, sent out his strongest ace, Volcarona. Even though its primary Fire Attribute no longer held an advantage, Volcarona's Heat Wave Moves almost oppressively overwhelmed Hudidi's psychic waves.
In mid-air over the field.
The black spots on Volcarona's wings and abdominal sides, reminiscent of solar sunspots, continually shed black Scale Powder. When this Scale Powder merged with the Sun Fire, it created a Heat Wave as unstoppable as a solar storm, instantly sweeping across the entire field.
The grand, vertical, rotating solar storm appeared like a flame Twister, effortlessly crushing Hudidi's Psychic Power and scorching its robust body...
"Still not good enough..." Watching Monferno effortlessly thrashing Volcarona made it seem easy, but after his own battle against Gura, Su Shu realized that the arrogant American Champion was not someone just any Trainer could contend with; normally using superpower amplification, he was no match for Gura.
British, French, and Hua Nation trainers all frowned as they watched the top Superpower User Su Shu gain no advantage against Gura. Excluding Di Anxi the Mythical Pokemon, could Fire God Gura be invincible in individual battles??
No, even in team battles, only an oddity like Fang Yuan could suppress Gura, no one else could.
.........
"Hahaha... I've lost."
A few minutes later, Su Shu returned, looking tired.
Jiang Li and the others all knew Su Shu had done his best.
"Let me take it from here," Jiang Li took a deep breath. Volcarona was strong, and so was that Incineroar.
But as long as he was within the Top Tier Domain, his Song of Total Destruction and Destiny Bond tactics would still work.
With the entire Spirit World at his back, his chances of winning were still significant and not as powerless as Su Shu's.
At the moment, it seemed that even Fang Yuan's Sun Eevee and Monferno would struggle to threaten that Volcarona...
Jiang Li fell silent.
"Alright," Su Shu nodded and said, "Then I'll start resting. You guys had better not lose."
Su Shu hadn't utilized his ultimate burst to save his trump card for Di Anxi, aiming to wear down the French Fairy King. If China lost now, there would be no point in saving it.
"We won't lose," Fang Yuan spoke.
Yun Kai, Xie Qingyi, Xu Haoran, and the others all nodded; they would all give it their best.
...............
The third battle, China's Champion Jiang Li vs America's Fighting King.
Jiang Li sent out his second ace, a Gengar, right from the start.
This particular Gengar of Jiang Li mastered a very powerful Curse Technique.
Curse, when used by a Pokemon, yields different effects depending on whether its attribute is Ghost or something else.
If possessing the Ghost attribute, the user loses half its physical strength to put the target into a Cursed state. In this Cursed state, the enemy would lose physical strength at a much more terrifying rate.
Without the Ghost attribute, using Curse Techniques would place the user itself into a Cursed state, reducing speed but enhancing other attributes.
