Obviously, the other attributes of the Agile Bug were completely unable to keep up with the speed, and some of them were unable to adapt. Although the speed was fast enough, they were stunned after moving. If it didn't have the "stickiness" characteristic, Guan Liyuan suspected that it would not even be able to "brake"!
Therefore, although the Knight Snail was startled at first and couldn't react at all, while the Agile Bug was stunned, the Knight Snail turned around while floating, and knocked the "Knight Spear" with both arms...
Using the "Double Needle" skill of the insect system, under the infusion of green insect power, the two "Knight Spears" flashed green fluorescence, and became thicker and longer!
Although the Agile Bug rubbed its "tail" on the ground when walking, and the Knight Snail was "floating" at a distance slightly above the ground, but... the speed between the two was obviously not determined by the way of movement. The Agile Bug that used "rubbing" was so fast that it could make the King doubt his life, while the Knight Snail's "floating" was so slow that it doubted its own life.
The Knight Snail's speed racial value was only 20, which was lower than before evolution. It floated very slowly like the Geodude who also relied on "floating"!
Agile Bug had also reacted at this time. With its seemingly short hands, it deftly and quickly threw out several shurikens condensed from water power!
When Frog saw this move, it couldn't help but open its eyes a little.
Flying Water Shuriken, in addition to Tutu, which copied all skills, only Frog's final evolution, Greninja and Agile Bug, could learn this move.
Knight Snail quickly waved the double knight gun, knocking down most of the flying water shuriken, and some fell on its body, but it was completely unable to do anything about Knight Snail's "armor".
However, when Knight Snail finally approached Agile Bug and stabbed it with its "double needles", it only left a hole on the trunk through the afterimage... The
real Pokémon world is not a turn-based battle. If the speed is fast enough, it is not as simple as just attacking first. It really directly affects the movement speed. With the speed of Knight Snail, it is not easy to actively use melee attacks to attack Agile Bug!
But speed has little effect on reaction speed and attack speed, so Knight Snail was able to smash most of the flying water shuriken before. If it was attacked at close range, it would have no problem defending and counterattacking.
Because there will inevitably be a certain stiffness when attacking, if the speed difference between the two sides is not very large, it will not lead to a situation where one side cannot catch up with the other side. The side with a slight speed advantage will inevitably slow down when attacking.
However, the speed of Agile Bug and Knight Snail has completely formed a "crushing" gap!
If a Pokémon with low speed and high defense wants to pose a combat threat, it must at least have some long-range attacks, range attacks, or means to limit the opponent's speed. Otherwise, it is easy to be kited by Agile Bug, which can attack remotely and completely crushes the speed, like now.
After all, Knight Snail has just evolved, and has not experienced too much cultivation and training, and has not mastered any long-range attack capabilities...
But on the other hand, Agile Bug can't do anything to Knight Snail. Whether it is "Flying Water Shuriken" or its own insect-type "Insect Resistance", they have little effect on Knight Snail.
Before Knight Snail can't stand it, Agile Bug is already panting!
"It's still completely intact... Shouldn't the special attack of the Agile Bug be very high? It can't actually cause damage to the Knight Snail of the same level?" Serena asked in confusion. "
Although I've heard that the Knight Snail's physical defense and special defense are extremely strong, I didn't expect it to be so strong..." Esther also felt that everything she encountered today was very strange.
Only Guan Liyuan didn't feel strange, because the Knight Snail's characteristics "Dustproof" and "Bug Premonition", the latter of which is temporarily unused, and "Dustproof" has been awakened to level 1 like Agile Bug's "Light Armor"!
"Dustproof" is a characteristic of the small mouth snail before Agile Bug evolved. It was transferred to the Knight Snail along with the shell. The effect in the game is "Powder-type moves are ineffective against it, and it ignores damage caused by bad weather.
" The effect in the Pokémon world is "Minor attacks are ineffective."
That is to say, unless it is hurt to a "certain degree", it will not be affected. If it is not awakened, the "dustproof" effect can only resist the weak damage caused by bad weather such as sandstorms and hail. There are also "powder-type" skills. Because the effect is scattered on each dust particle, the resistance effect is particularly good, almost immune.
In fact, the scattered attack of "Flying Water Shuriken" can also be regarded as restrained, so after the Agile Bug noticed this, it began to use "Insect Resistance".
After all, "dustproof" is its characteristic before evolution, and it naturally understands it, but... Now the Knight Snail's "Dustproof" has been awakened to lv1!
After awakening once, the so-called "certain degree" standard is further improved.
The same increase can be "equivalent to 10,000 combat power"!
The "Insect Resistance" of the same level Agile Bug cannot "break the defense". In theory, the Knight Snail is now invincible at the same level. Except for some special Pokémon and special skills, it is difficult for Pokémon with the same combat power to cause damage to it.
Of course, normally, the Agile Bug should be stronger in battle, because its "light suit" will not fail as long as it does not commit suicide, and the effect is reflected in the extremely practical speed, and the effect of "light suit" before awakening is also greater in terms of direct improvement of combat effectiveness.
However, the "dustproof" of the Knight Snail will be greatly reduced once it encounters an opponent with combat power that exceeds its own and strong enough attack power. Although it is called "Knight", its "characteristic" is a typical bully...
Intuitively speaking, the current Agile Bug has a great chance of winning against elite Pokémon as long as it takes advantage of its speed, and the opponent has no ranged powerful skills and no attribute restraint, but the Knight Snail cannot.
However, after the Knight Snail evolves, it has the dual attributes of "Insect" and "Steel", and the Steel has an additional resistance effect to the Insect, so the Agile Bug of the pure "Insect" cannot break the opponent's defense.
Unlike the "death fight" before the evolution, which almost
ended in a fight, after the evolution, neither of the two worms could do anything to the other for the time being... "Okay! That's it, let's call it a draw this time!" Guan Liyuan stopped the fight after the two sides were completely deadlocked.
"You should also understand that neither of you can defeat the other now, right?" Guan Liyuan said as he looked at both sides.
Upon hearing this, the Agile Bug and the Knight Snail both looked a little depressed, and at the same time, they looked at each other unconvinced, and then both turned their heads away.
[Knight Snail, your current defense can completely ignore the attack of the Agile Bug, but you can't attack if the opponent doesn't actively approach you. If you can learn skills such as "Ultimate Impact" and "Sacrifice Charge" that can accelerate and charge at a long distance, you can defeat the Agile Bug... In addition, you are too weak in speed, and you need to be familiar with the defensive counterattack fighting method! I'm optimistic about you! ]
Although "Ultimate Impact" and "Self-Sacrificing Charge" are also self-impacting, they can be considered semi-ranged skills. When launching such skills, you will not be as slow as usual.
[However, as long as you continue to become stronger, at the same level, as the attacker, your advantage will gradually increase, and you will learn stronger special attack skills, such as "Insect Chirping" and "Real Qi Bomb"... As long as you reach the point where "Dustproof" fails, you will be able to crush it! In addition, you need to further familiarize yourself with the speed advantage and develop your own high-speed movement tactics. I believe you can do it! ]
Guan Liyuan chose to use different communication methods to "separately" motivate the Agile Bug and the Knight Snail...
I saw that the two bugs regained their fighting spirit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Of course, Guan Liyuan did not forget to remind them that the opponents are not only each other, but also need to pay attention to other aspects of training. If anyone falls behind in the external battle, Guan Liyuan will focus on cultivating the excellent party!
"Awesome! Liyuan, your Nimblebug and Knightsnail should be no problem in the gym battles for the first eight badges, right?" Esther said excitedly, looking at her own Frog and Falcon, as if she had made up her mind to work hard.
"I hope so..." Guan Liyuan's eyes drifted a little.
Seeing that they were almost at Guchuan Town, Guan Liyuan was still very confident about getting the first few badges. After all, in terms of combat power, Knightsnail has reached over 20,000 due to the bonus of awakening characteristics, and Nimblebug has the additional effect of doubling speed, which is equivalent to about 25,000.
And because of their respective special characteristics, Knightsnail is "about 20,000 Pokémon, as many as they come, Nimblebug is "30,000 Elite Pokémon".
However... although these gyms in the Kalos area will not directly increase the difficulty to the point that I can't even get the first few badges, they are likely to use other methods to help me become famous!
This is not only Guan Liyuan's guess, but also what Dr. Fatong reminded him. Since Guan Liyuan arrived in Miare City, the gyms in the surrounding towns are basically ready to "welcome" Guan Liyuan's arrival...
In fact, Guan Liyuan and Fatong's guesses are indeed correct. For example, the gym in Guchuan Town is now holding an internal student competition to determine the strongest gym student, and then this strongest student will receive the honor of "facing Guan Liyuan's gym challenge".
If it is Guan Liyuan who uses Pokémon casually and takes out the legendary beasts at will, the owner of Guchuan will have to kneel down, but... Guan Liyuan, who has just traveled in the Kalos region for a week and uses the original Pokémon that he has captured not long ago, may have a chance as the "strongest student"!
Of course, they don't really want Guan Liyuan to return empty-handed. In fact, Guchuan Gym is ready to issue Guan Liyuan a badge before the battle, and the opponent is just a "gym student". Even if Guan Liyuan loses, it's hard to say much, and if Guchuan Gym wins, it can be a good advertisement...
