Chapter 540 Earth Tortoise VS Earth Tortoise, Crazy Plants with No Side Effects
Dus!
The Night Demon Spirit's single eye shone brightly, and its remaining power was instantly mobilized, condensing into a pale green circular energy barrier in front of it, attempting to withstand the raging attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The first wave of the frenzied plants crashed against the barrier without reservation, producing a deafening roar.
After being swept away by a wave of frenzied plants, Night Spell finally waited until the opponent's offensive subsided before it lowered its guard and canceled the use of Protect.
However, at the very moment the barrier disappeared, before Dusknoir could react in any way, and before Ash could even issue his next command—
The thorny vines that had been gradually retreating just a second ago suddenly became active again, sweeping towards the unprotected Night Demon with even greater speed and ferocity.
This time, there were no obstacles.
BOOM—!!
Countless thick vines lashed down solidly onto the body of the Night Demon.
"Dus—!!!"
The Night Demon let out an extremely painful cry, its body slamming into the ground with tremendous force, like a leaf falling in a storm.
Boom!
The ground was smashed into a large crater again, and dust billowed up.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the Night Demon lay quietly in the pit, its single eye losing its light, unable to continue fighting.
The referee quickly stepped forward to confirm, and then raised the flag high.
"Night Demon is unable to fight! Earth Turtle wins!"
......
"Is this a change in Crazy Plants' strategy...?"
Outside the arena, Ash was also caught off guard by Shinji's unexpected attack.
Normally, if a Pokémon uses Crazy Plant, it will be stunned in the next turn. Now it seems that when Shinji's Torterra uses Crazy Plant, it seems to use it in two parts.
When the first use of Crazy Plant is about to end, preserve a little bit of life force, and then when Crazy Plant is about to disappear, urge out the remaining bit of power in your body again.
It seems that this method also effectively avoids the stun rounds that follow using Crazy Plants.
That's a brilliant idea.
Ash recalled Dusknoir, which had already lost the battle, and after comforting it, he put the Poké Ball back into his belt.
Ash now has two Pokémon.
As for the next round—
I need to prepare a surprise for Shinji too.
Shinji showed him another way to use Crazy Plants, and Ash naturally wanted Shinji to see his research on Torterra as well.
"I choose you, Tortoise!"
The baby ball was tossed high into the air.
A flash of red light appeared, and Ash sent out the same Pokémon as Shinji to fight.
Although they are both Torterra, Ash's Torterra looks a size smaller than Paul's. You can tell which Pokémon has the better attack power just by looking at their size.
This battle was undoubtedly a tough one for Ash's Torterra.
......
The sun was still blazing, and the atmosphere on the field was particularly heavy.
The charred craters and cracked ground silently testified to the ferocity of the battle between Ash and Shinji.
At this moment, the two giant earthen tortoises stood facing each other, like two moving hills. The thick trees on their backs swayed gently in the breeze, but could not hide the heavy fighting spirit in their eyes.
The referee waved his flag again, signaling the start of the duel between the two tortoises.
"Turtle Platform, Ultimate Absorption!"
"Turtle Terrarium! We'll use Ultimate Drain too!"
At almost the same time, Shinji and Ash gave the same command.
"DO—!"
"DO—!"
The two earth turtles simultaneously let out a deep roar, and the trees on their backs moved without wind. Countless thick and tough green vines, like living pythons, suddenly burst out from the ground beneath their feet, carrying a vibrant light, and roared as they coiled around each other.
In mid-air, two green vines collided with a loud crash and intertwined.
The vines strangled, intertwined, and tore at each other, producing terrifying tearing sounds.
In an instant, countless shattered plant debris fell across the site, creating a spectacular scene.
However, this stalemate did not last long.
Shinji's Torterra, with its superior strength, gradually suppressed Ash's Torterra's offensive.
Ash's Torterra was forced back inch by inch, and almost all of the vines were completely severed by the opponent, turning into specks of green light and dissipating into the air. At this moment, Paul's Torterra's vines were wrapped around Ash's Torterra and began to absorb its stamina.
The first round of probing has ended, and the result is already obvious.
The difference in strength between the two earth turtles cannot be ignored.
Ash's heart sank slightly as he realized that he could no longer directly confront Shinji's Tsuchikage in this battle.
Seeing this, Shinji didn't give Ash any chance to catch his breath and immediately pressed his advantage, his cold voice ringing out again: "Stone Attack!"
"DO!"
Shinji's Tsuchikage roared, its massive body shuddering violently, causing the ground to tremble.
The next second, countless sharp, cold-looking rocks rose from the ground and surrounded Torterra. With a slight exertion of Torterra's body, these sharp rocks shot towards Ash's Torterra with a sharp whooshing sound.
"Block it with an energy ball!" Ash responded quickly.
Ash's Torterra took a deep breath, and a bright green energy ball quickly condensed in its mouth. The energy inside the ball surged, radiating a powerful natural aura.
call out--!
The energy ball burst forth, meeting the oncoming barrage of sharp stones.
Boom! ...
The emerald green energy ball collided violently with the aggressive gravel in the center of the arena, unleashing a deafening roar. The powerful shockwave, mixed with dust, spread out instantly, temporarily enveloping the figures of the two earth turtles, making it impossible to see the specific situation on the field for a moment.
Smoke filled the air, obstructing visibility.
However, Ash's orders to fight Shinji did not stop.
"Torterra! Giga Drain!" Ash's voice came again from the smoke. He was trying to seize the opportunity and use Giga Drain to break the deadlock and gain the upper hand.
However, Shinji had the same thought at this moment. After all, his Tortoise had a unique advantage in this kind of power clash, and Shinji would naturally not fail to take advantage of this.
"Crazy Plants!" Shinji once again unleashed his ultimate move, the Turtle.
Amidst the smoke, the two earth turtles once again simultaneously unleashed the power within their bodies.
On Ash's Torterra side, countless green vines continued to sprout from the ground, surging towards Paul's Torterra side.
Shinji's Tsuchikage once again unleashed its raging thorny vines.
boom!
The power of Crazy Plants far surpasses that of Ultimate Absorption.
Ash's Torterra attack was mercilessly crushed by the mad plant the moment it collided with the plant.
Countless raging thorny vines swept in like a tsunami, lashing fiercely at Ash's Torterra.
"DO!"
Ash's Torterra let out a cry of pain as its massive body was whipped backward, its hard shell colliding with the thorns on its back with a dull thud.
Many vines had even wrapped around its back and limbs, restricting its movement.
The first wave of Crazy Plants' attack seems to have ended, as it was countered by Ultimate Drain anyway, so the damage the first wave of Crazy Plants did to Ash's Torterra wasn't as great as expected.
As the activity of the thorny vines gradually subsided, Ash's Torterra couldn't help but catch its breath, but it hadn't even had time to fully regain its footing.
suddenly!
"Watch out! There's a second wave of attacks!"
"DO?!"
Several question marks seemed to appear on the top of Ash's Torterra's head.
But the situation on the field didn't allow it to continue thinking about what had happened.
The next second, those seemingly exhausted thorny vines suddenly sprang up again without warning, launching a second wave of attacks at an even faster speed.
Ash's Torterra was caught completely off guard and hit by another wave of attacks from the Crazy Plants.
boom! boom! boom!
This time, Ash's Torterra was no match for the onslaught of the rampaging plants. Countless thick thorns fell like a storm, slamming into its back, limbs, and head.
"DO—!!!"
Ash's Torterra let out a roar of extreme pain, its limbs suddenly went limp, and its huge body began to shake violently, almost causing it to kneel down.
The thick tree on its back was whipped so hard that its branches and leaves flew everywhere, and even its body showed obvious marks.
Shinji's crazy plant that can be used in two parts now seems to be even more difficult to deal with than Ash initially expected.
It can be used for both offense and defense, and can be advanced or retreated at will.
Moreover, the use of Crazy Plants can be done without any gaps; even during the only slight period of insignificant stiffness in the middle, the thorny vines of Crazy Plants will not completely dissipate.
While Ash's Gliscor has mastered the technique to negate the stun from Giga Impact, it's still insignificant compared to the Crazy Plants that can be used without any side effects.
However, although Shinji's Torterra is much stronger than Ash's Torterra in terms of attack power, Ash's Torterra is not entirely without a way to deal with it.
Taking advantage of the fleeting moment when Shinji's Torterra stopped attacking, Ash immediately seized the opportunity.
"Tortoise! Use photosynthesis!"
“DO…”
Ash's Torterra, enduring excruciating pain, struggled to raise its head and bask in the sunlight above the arena.
A soft white light began to gather around it, transforming into tiny, radiant rays that slowly seeped into its body, repairing the injuries it had sustained and replenishing its depleted energy.
Although it's impossible to fully restore all of its stamina at once, this brief moment of recovery is crucial for the Earth-Based Tortoise at this moment.
Having time to use photosynthesis means that if Shinji's Tortoise cannot unleash a powerful force sufficient to defeat it all at once, then this round of the match will turn into a protracted battle in which Shinji struggles alone.
If Shinji has other Pokémon that are still in good condition, it's fine; he can even switch Torterra out for a rest in between.
The problem is that this Torterra is Shinji's last trump card. It has no chance to rest. Facing Ash's Torterra, which can use photosynthesis, all it can do is attack repeatedly until the opponent falls and it collapses from exhaustion.
Ash's Torterra had regained its footing, and the fighting spirit in its eyes had not been extinguished by the heavy blow it had just suffered; on the contrary, it burned even more fiercely, just like all the Pokémon that had fought before.
Being able to fight on the stage of the semi-finals is already something to brag about!
On the opposite side of the field, Shinji looked at Torterra, who had regained its strength through photosynthesis, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Shinji clearly understands just how threatening this Photosynthesis technique is to him in his current state.
Crazy Plants doesn't have the power to defeat Ash's Torterra in one hit. What if it were another move? Like Earthquake?
It might be useful, but timing is crucial. Given the current situation, unless the weather cooperates and blocks out the sun above the Lily of the Valley Stadium, or an unexpected downpour occurs that might allow the Crazy Plants to be more effective, Shinji's success hinges entirely on his ability to seize the right moment.
He understood that the situation could not be delayed any longer; he had to apply greater pressure as soon as possible to force the other side to reveal a weakness.
Just as Shinji was about to give a new command, Ash beat him to it, shouting decisively, "Torterra, use Energy Ball!"
"DO!"
Ash's Torterra responded immediately, opening its mouth and seemingly gathering energy faster than before.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Three emerald green energy balls shot one after another into the sky above the arena, tracing three arcs as they flew towards Shinji's Tsuchikage.
Immediately afterwards, the fourth energy ball condensed and took shape, carrying an even stronger momentum, like a green cannonball that blasted straight at Shinji's Tsuchikage.
They split into two groups.
It seems that Ash prefers to exploit Torterra's weaknesses through offense rather than attacking.
pity.
"Ultimate Absorption".
It's just a mere energy ball.
Both Ultimate Drain and Crazy Plant can easily destroy it.
"DO!"
Shinji's Torterra let out a low growl, and countless thick vines sprouted from the ground like agile tentacles. Some of them met the oncoming energy ball head-on, while others warily guarded against the attack falling from the sky.
boom!
The incoming energy ball was precisely intercepted by several vines, squeezed and shattered, turning into scattered energy points.
The energy balls falling from the sky were also knocked around by the vines, creating a series of explosions.
However, just as all the energy balls were shattered, Ash's next command was already out.
"Now, Ye Baofeng."
