"Roar!!!"
Manectric staggered and stood up, looking at the sky and shouting, and a powerful electric current burst from its yellow mane in an instant, with thunder and light astonishingly dazzling, creating an imposing momentum!
Discharge!!!
Bang bang bang!
At the same time, there was muffled thunder in the sky, and a lightning bolt fell, which seemed to echo with Manectric at that moment.
The dazzling current spread in all directions with Manectric at the center.
The current spread outward, and Electivire grinned fiercely, its two tails standing upright, like a normal lightning rod, absorbing all the current.
"Well, a little snack before dinner." Surge licked his lips and laughed heartily.
At the same time, the flickering current struck Metang.
"Protect," Bruce's voice sounded calm.
"Metang!"
Metang responded, its eyes flashing with a blue light as emerald green barriers appeared all over its body, blocking all the current.
"Roar!!"
Seeing that Metang was unharmed, Manectric roared and then attacked Metang again, its fangs filled with electric current.
"Earthquake," Bruce said lightly.
As his voice fell, Metang landed on the ground, and its two sharp saffron-colored claws continuously slammed against the ground, forming waves of poisonous shock waves one after another.
After a while, these shock waves overlapped, and the ground began to shake violently, breaking layer by layer like a spider web. The ground under Manectric's feet suddenly sank, and it howled unwillingly.
After a while, the ground gradually regained calm, only the cracks and fissures speaking of the tragic situation it had endured.
At that moment, Manectric lay powerless in a deep pit, its eyes turning into circles.
Earthquake, one of Metang's greatest training achievements during this period, could play a key role in many situations.
"Metang!"
Seeing that Manectric had completely lost the ability to fight, Metang let out an excited growl and floated in the air.
Boom!
A lightning bolt fell with great momentum, and Metang seemed to be struck by Astonish, flying back to Bruce's side again and again.
Surge swallowed his words of praise abruptly, then smiled and said, "Your Metang sure has quite a personality."
The corners of Bruce's mouth twitched, and then he glanced lightly at Metang beside him.
"Let's continue," Surge said.
Bruce nodded slightly, and the two began to move forward toward the stormy area.
Along the way, they occasionally encountered wild Pokemon that took the initiative to attack. Metang fought valiantly, defeated them all, and gained a lot of experience points.
Finally, after more than two hours, Surge stopped, looked ahead, and said in a deep voice, "The stormy zone has arrived."
Bruce looked around and saw lightning and thunder surging in front of him, with bolts of lightning falling, the speed and frequency of the strikes far greater than when they had been walking along the path.
Surge pointed forward and said, "The area ahead belongs to the stormy zone, and the Professional-level lightning Pokemon up front can handle it. The further you go, the stronger the thunder and lightning, and the greater the requirements for the Pokemon's strength."
Bruce looked around and found that there were many people around, like the two of them, standing on the edge, observing the stormy area in front of them.
On the outskirts of the stormy area, there was a man standing in the same spot wearing a T-shirt, and beside him was an impressive Luxray.
Luxray looked like an adult lion; its face, hind legs, torso, and the back of its front legs were blue, while most of its body was covered with fluffy black fur.
Rumble!
Above the man's head, a piercing thunderstorm was deafening, and then a lightning bolt fell, landing precisely on Luxray.
"Roar—"
As the lightning struck, Luxray lifted its head to the sky and roared, its face showing pain, its black mane stimulated by the electricity and bristling, and the dazzling light of the thunder swallowed it completely.
Its pupils glowed with a golden shimmer, and its black mane almost turned to saffron, making it look like a powerful and dominant golden lion.
Its trainer stood beside it, watching Luxray closely.
After a while, the electricity in Luxray's body gradually dissipated, and it slowly returned to its original state, but with a bright light in its eyes.
"Success," Surge said.
Then, while everyone watched, the man led Luxray out of the storm.
"As far as Normal goes, it's not bad for a Professional-level Electric-type Pokemon to withstand a lightning bolt," Surge said lightly.
"Some Trainers also believe that the better the Pokemon's aptitude and the better the Breeder, the more lightning it can withstand."
"As for other attribute Pokemon, being able to withstand a single lightning strike is the best, and two lightning strikes are very rare," Surge said.
Bruce nodded thoughtfully and continued to look at the stormy area.
In the stormy area, several Trainers entered it with their Electric-type Pokemon and began absorbing electricity.
Suddenly, he felt a noise in his ear.
The two turned their heads to look and saw a person and a Scizor walking slowly towards the storm area under everyone's watchful eyes.
This person appeared to be about twenty years old, with a slightly thin body, narrow eyes, and an aura that warned strangers not to approach.
A Pokemon with the same body shape closely followed him. It was covered in crimson armor, with two pairs of translucent wings on its back and a pair of large pincers with eye-like patterns.
[Pokemon: Scizor (Bug/Steel)
Ability: Technician
Qualification: Master
Level: LV 39 (Professional)]
Infinitely close to Ace level Scizor!
"This is the first trainer we challenge today!"
"Scizor... So cool!"
"I wonder if it'll work or not?"
"With Scizor's small body, it's estimated it'll be dangling."
The onlookers at the margins murmured.
Surge looked at this scene, crossed his arms, and showed an amused smile: "There's a good show to watch."
Bruce's eyes lit up slightly; he raised his hand and threw the Poke Ball, releasing Combusken.
"Watch carefully," he said softly.
"Combusken!" Combusken responded in a low voice, with a sharp gaze.
Under everyone's gaze, the man and Scizor entered the stormy zone and stood on the outskirts.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, strong winds, lightning, and thunder raging like an apocalyptic scene.
The man ignored it all and waited silently with Scizor.
!!
Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck with mighty power toward Scizor in a slash.
Scizor looked at the lightning with calm eyes.
In the next second, thunder exploded on its body, and dazzling arcs wrapped around it.
Scizor's pupils shrank, letting out a dull sound of pain, its body struggling against the thunder.
"Hold on."
At that moment, the skinny man said in a deep voice…
Scizor's eyes suddenly lit up; it gritted its teeth, endured the pain spreading throughout its body, its consciousness blurred for a moment, and then was revived again.
I don't know how long it took, but the electric arc surrounding its whole body gradually dissipated, finally letting out a long sigh of relief, opening its eyes with a sharp gaze.
At the same time, as if tempered into steel, its crimson armor shone with a metallic luster like Oreburgh, even more powerful than before.
Seeing this, Bruce murmured softly, "Although Scizor looks thin, its body is as tough as Oreburgh, and its muscles are made of metal.
"It truly lives up to its reputation."
Seeing that Scizor successfully withstood the lightning, bursts of cheers immediately rang out from the edge.
"Yes, the first challenger has succeeded!"
"This Scizor's Breeder isn't bad, almost at Ace level."
The onlookers were excited.
Surge loudly said from the side, "Did you see? As long as you can withstand the next lightning strike, the effect of strengthening the Pokemon's physique is very obvious.
"This is Lightning Body Tempering."
After saying these words, he walked towards the thunderstorm area without looking back and laughed at the same time, "I'll be back as soon as I leave."
Under everyone's gaze, Surge drove the Electivire towards the thunderstorm area.
They passed through the outer area all the way, and arrived directly at the central area, where the thunder and lightning were more violent and more powerful.
Every lightning strike the stones of the Ground and Rock Strike, the power and influence were terrifying.
Surge raised his head, looked at the dense dark clouds preparing for a thunderstorm and stretched his neck.
"Roar!!!"
Electivire roared skyward, flashing an arrogant and fierce grin, and the two tails behind him stood upright.
Boom!!!
Not long after, dark clouds formed and lightning struck, directly impacting the Electivire.
"ROAR!!!"
Electivire's face grinned fiercely, her scarlet eyes showed rage, she thumped her chest and screamed excitedly, an electric ember splashed and thunder roared throughout her body.
Current flickered, lightning flashed and the two tails attracted electricity all the time. 4.1
After a minute or two, the Electivire let out a joyful roar, and the two horns on its head violently emitted blue and white electric embers.
This is a sign that the storage is fully charged.
"Okay," Surge said loudly upon seeing this.
"Roar!!!"
Electivire roared excitedly and the thunder gradually dissipated.
Afterwards, Surge flashed a satisfied smile and returned to Bruce amidst many admiring glances.
"What do you think, do you want to try it now?" Surge raised his head and said with a smile.
Bruce said without hesitation, "Of course.
After the words fell, he took Combusken to the outskirts of the storm zone.
The melon eaters looked at Bruce again, and the skinny man with Scizor looked at him as well.
"Hey, he looks pretty young."
"Professional level Combusken, I guess that's not good enough," he said.
"Wouldn't this be the first unlucky guy of the day?"
Outskirts,
The ground is alight, Ember is splashing, bows are flashing, and charred black rocks are everywhere.
Bruce let out a sigh and then looked up at Soaring in the sky.
The dark clouds are starting to prepare for the next thunderstorm,
Combusken remained silent, ready for battle.
