Chapter 999: Toxic Rampage!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
"Damn it! She's just some rookie, how can she be so much trouble!"
Jessie rubbed her head in frustration and could only command another attack. "Seviper, use Haze!"
Seviper opened its mouth, and a blanket of black fog instantly swallowed more than half the stage.
"Zangoose, use Slash!"
However, within the Haze, a flash of white light shot past.
*Swish!*
A strong gust immediately swept across the stage, slicing through all the Haze—a testament to this Zangoose's strength.
"Next up, Crush Claw!"
After successfully chipping away a bit of the opponent's health, it was May's turn to take the offensive.
Zangoose's sharp claws were covered in a vicious red light as it charged straight for its target.
The power of Crush Claw is a bit higher than Slash, and it has the additional effect of lowering the opponent's defense.
"Block it with Poison Tail!"
Seviper whipped its body around, its dagger-like tail glowing with a purple light as it lashed out in response.
*Clang!*
Their attacks collided with a loud bang, and for a moment, they were evenly matched, sending them both reeling backward.
But an exchange like this thoroughly infuriated the Seviper.
"Chaw! Chaw!"
It hissed repeatedly at Jessie.
Jessie understood. Seviper was telling her it wanted to battle on its own.
Another trainer might have felt their pride wounded, but Jessie chose right then and there to become a silent mascot, putting her complete trust in her Seviper.
"Then go for it, Seviper!"
In an instant, Seviper's battle intent surged. It opened its mouth, spitting out a dense barrage of countless purple spikes.
"Block them with Slash!"
On the other side, May was in perfect sync with her Zangoose, battling in unison.
Zangoose brought its sharp claws down in a forward slash, instantly shattering the countless poison needles into fragments.
*Swoosh!*
Using that brief moment, Seviper shot forward, its poisonous tail transforming into a sharp purple arrow aimed straight at its target.
"It's no use! Dodge with Detect!"
May, however, used what seemed like a broken move.
Zangoose's light-red eyes glowed with a strange green light, and it just barely managed to dodge the Poison Tail.
The high-intensity exchange backfired, and Jessie's HP bar dropped to the halfway mark.
"Chaw-ba...!"
However, Seviper remained where it was, flicking its tongue, its cunning eyes observing its opponent, seemingly deep in thought.
This Seviper was a cunning snake... which also meant it possessed extremely high intelligence.
*Swoosh swoosh swoosh!*
The next moment, Seviper made up its mind and once again shot out countless poison needles!
*Swish-bang!*
But Zangoose still used Slash, effortlessly shattering all the poison needles.
"Chaw-ba!"
At that moment, Seviper charged forward again, swaying its tail, appearing as if it was about to repeat its old trick.
Seeing this, Zangoose remained calm and composed, bracing itself as it prepared to use Detect again to completely dodge the attack.
But upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Seviper's eyes. It instantly changed its movement, ramming its target head-on.
*Boom!*
Zangoose's Detect failed, and it was sent stumbling backward.
"There it is! Seviper's Feint!" the announcer explained.
The move Feint can completely bypass barrier moves like Protect and Detect.
"Chaw-ba!"
However, Seviper's offensive wasn't over. Its long, slender body shot out, wrapping its tail around the retreating Zangoose.
Using the momentum to close the distance, Seviper had already opened its gaping maw, its long fangs glinting with a horrifying purple light...
Toxic Fang!
*Crunch!*
Seviper bit down squarely on Zangoose, producing a shudder-inducing crunch as its fangs sank into flesh.
On the electronic screen, it was May's HP bar that plummeted this time.
"Beautifully done~! Seviper!"
With the combo hitting its mark, Jessie cheered from the sidelines.
Without her commands, Seviper had actually become more formidable.
"What an incredible Seviper..."
Even May couldn't help but be impressed.
And it didn't need its trainer's commands at all, able to independently use all sorts of adaptive moves.
After breaking free from the snake's mouth, Zangoose suddenly dropped to one knee, its face taking on a purple glow.
Zangoose was poisoned.
"Haha~ The heavens are on my side! As expected of my Seviper!"
Jessie laughed heartily with her hands on her hips, as if victory was already in her grasp.
The next moment, however, the poisoned Zangoose slowly stood up. Not only did it seem fine, but its gaze was even more resolute.
A fierce red light erupted from its body.
Zangoose's Attack rose!
"What is this?!"
Ash, in the audience, was both impressed and confused, quickly taking out his Pokédex to scan the Pokémon.
"Is that the Guts ability?"
His Heracross's Attack also rose significantly when it was burned.
"Beep beep. Toxic Rampage. When poisoned, the user's Attack is boosted."
The Pokédex replied.
This was an ability that Zangoose had developed over generations of battling Seviper.
Zangoose's other ability, Immunity, prevents it from being poisoned in the first place.
Both abilities were developed for the sake of dealing with a venomous snake like Seviper.
*Beep!*
The activation of the Toxic Rampage ability was reflected by a sudden drop in Jessie's HP bar on-screen, a clear sign that the tables had cleverly turned.
"Poisoned on the first try?"
May's expression didn't change, as if she had anticipated this all along.
Once she entered a battle, she lost all trace of being a rookie. Her entire demeanor became extremely aggressive, as if she were a completely different person.
"It really is her!"
In the lounge, Yuki shot up from his seat.
This feeling, he was all too familiar with it!
The girl on the stage at this moment had to be the May he knew.
In an instant, all the strange feelings he'd had before suddenly became crystal clear.
"But why did the two of us transmigrate?"
But the ensuing mystery was even greater, causing Yuki's brow to furrow deeply as he slowly sat back down.
Drew: "?"
Sitting beside him, he was stunned for a moment by Yuki's actions, impressed and confused.
But from the looks of it, this girl had a few tricks up her sleeve. Perhaps she could become a worthy opponent...
On the stage, the battle continued.
Time was only halfway up, but Jessie's HP bar was already in the red, like a candle in the wind.
In contrast, May's HP was still at half; she clearly had complete control of the match.
"Then I'll just have to finish it off quickly! Go, Seviper!"
Jessie once again resorted to the fully-automatic style of battle.
"Chaw-ba!"
The furious and humiliated Seviper roared, its poisonous tail lashing out once more!
