159: Section 159

"Zap Cannon!"

Facing Moltres's powerful attack, Zapdos immediately released a large amount of golden Electric current, concentrating them into a black Electric sphere, which Zapdos then fired towards Moltres.

Although this black Electric sphere seemed insignificant in the face of the overwhelming sea of flames, it broke through the flames with unstoppable momentum, hitting Moltres, who was far behind, and knocking it down again.

However, Zapdos was not having an easy time either; the remaining flames quickly closed in again, enveloping it.

After the flames finally dissipated, Zapdos's figure reappeared, but it had some scorched marks on its body.

"Flamethrower!"

Just then, an incredibly hot pillar of fire suddenly shot up from below, intending to engulf Zapdos again.

"Protect!"

Because Moltres's attack came too suddenly, Zapdos had no time to make any other reaction and could only erect a translucent energy shield, blocking the pillar of fire.

It was also at this moment that everyone noticed Moltres had recovered at some point and launched another attack.

"Hmm? Moltres doesn't seem to be affected by the side effects of Overheat?"

"It seems the Legendary creature's physique is truly exceptionally strong..."

Zhang Yu's brows furrowed when he saw this scene.

Because he noticed that the power of Moltres's two Flamethrowers, before and after, had almost no change.

This meant that it was either not affected by the skill's side effects at all, or the skill's side effects were reduced to an extremely low level, causing him to not notice it at all?

Compared to the former, Zhang Yu felt the latter was more likely.

Otherwise, if Moltres could truly be completely unaffected by skill side effects, then it could use those powerful skills with side effects without any restraint.

In this regard, Moltres had a great advantage.

"It seems Moltres and Zapdos are quite evenly matched in strength, I wonder who will win in the end?"

"Indeed, their exchanges have been back and forth, with neither side having an absolute advantage."

"Who said their strength is similar? Zapdos's injuries are clearly lighter than Moltres's, okay?"

"That's mainly due to type factors, after all, Zapdos has a type advantage."

"This indeed has type factors involved, but it also means Zapdos has a greater chance of winning."

"Even if Zapdos has a greater chance of winning, it won't be by much."

"I've noticed that when a Pokémon's strength reaches a certain level, the effect of type disadvantage isn't as significant as we thought."

"No, if it's a single-type Pokémon, the impact of type disadvantage is still very large."

"Indeed, although Pokémon will more or less master some skills of other types, they are ultimately not as easy to use as same-type skills, and their power will be much smaller."

"You can't say that, if it's a dual-type Pokémon, and both types are countered by the same type, wouldn't it be even worse?"

"You're actually talking about Gyarados, aren't you?"

"Gyarados's type issue is indeed very serious, being quadruply weak to Electric type skills, that's really painful."

"Huh, huh, huh? What skill is this from Zapdos? Why does it have an energy shield?"

"Holy crap! It really does!"

"One can only say that Pokémon are truly amazing; they even have skills like energy shields."

"Yeah, and this skill seems quite powerful; it directly blocked Moltres's attack."

"I wonder what type of skill this is? Can other Pokémon learn it?"

"Compared to this skill, I'm more concerned about what Anchor said. Listening to him, it seems that the skill Moltres used earlier to release a sea of flames had side effects, but Moltres didn't seem to be affected."

"This should be where the power of a Legendary creature lies, directly ignoring the skill's side effects."

"Even if they are Legendary creatures, isn't this a bit too outrageous?"

"You're right, but this is the power of a Legendary creature."

Seeing the battle between the two sides become increasingly fierce, the Water Friends in the live broadcast room immediately let out a burst of exclamations.

At the same time, many people began to guess who would win in the end.

Compared to Moltres, Zapdos had significantly more supporters, after all, it ultimately had the type advantage.

This allowed it to deal greater damage to Moltres, and Moltres also had to give up using Flying-type skills.

"The skill Zapdos used is called Protect. It's a very practical Normal-type skill, and most Pokémon have the potential to learn it."

"Its effect is very simple: it can block the next attack."

"Of course, this seemingly powerful skill actually has some limitations."

"Firstly, the strength gap between the two sides cannot be too large; if the strength difference is too great, it cannot be blocked."

"Secondly, Protect consumes a lot of energy. If used continuously in a short period, the generated energy shield may not be able to block the opponent's attack."

"And most importantly, the Protect state cannot be maintained for too long, so it must be used at the right time."

After noticing the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room from the corner of his eye, Zhang Yu only thought for a moment before he began to introduce the Protect skill.

In his opinion, Protect was definitely a godly skill; if used well, it could completely allow the weak to overcome the strong.

Especially when the opponent uses a special move, if you let your Pokémon use Protect to block the opponent's special move, it's definitely a huge gain. Not only can it consume the opponent Pokémon's stamina, but it can also mess with the opponent Trainer's mindset, causing their blood pressure to skyrocket.

"Hmm?"

Just as Zhang Yu was about to continue watching the battle between Zapdos and Moltres, he suddenly noticed something amiss and immediately looked towards the sea in front.

As Zhang Yu looked towards the sea, a huge waterspout suddenly shot up, appearing before everyone.

Before anyone could react to what was happening, they saw the giant waterspout suddenly disperse, revealing the silver great bird within.

And who else could this silver great bird be but Lugia?

However, unlike the somewhat delicate little Lugia, this was an adult Lugia over five meters tall!

"..."

Zhang Yu looked at the Lugia in the sky again, then at the little Lugia in front of him, and immediately twitched his mouth.

He had originally felt a bit strange, if the three legendary birds were here to Protect little Lugia, then was their distance a bit too far?

So it was because there was another Lugia nearby, no wonder.

But Lugia, you let your child play here alone, aren't you afraid something might happen to it?

"So that's it, that skill is called Protect."

"From Anchor's description, this skill seems quite strong, right?"

"Yes, as long as the strength difference between the two sides isn't too great, it can directly block the opponent's skill. It's a very good skill."

"It's just a bit of a shame that if used continuously, its effect will decrease."

"Huh? Why did a giant waterspout suddenly appear?"

"Could it be that other Pokémon are joining the battle?"

"That shouldn't be possible, right? This doesn't look like something Articuno would create, and besides Articuno, I can't think of any other Pokémon that would get involved in this matter."

"This is indeed a problem."

"Huh, huh, huh? What did I see? Another Lugia?"

"No way, do Legendary creatures like Lugia actually appear in groups?"

"No! Looking at its size, this Lugia is clearly an adult. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the parent of that little Lugia."

"Maybe they're sisters?"

"Sisters are unlikely, after all, there couldn't possibly be more Lugia hidden here, right?"

"Who cares what their relationship is, it's most likely relatives, that's for sure."

"Looking at the situation, Lugia seems to be planning to intervene?"

"Of course! If it didn't want to intervene, would it appear at this time?"

"This is quite normal. After all, Anchor also said that Lugia is pretty much the superior of Moltres and Zapdos. If the two sides were just having a small skirmish, it might not intervene, but now it's clear they've gotten serious, so it has to intervene."

"I feel it's mainly because the current height of Zapdos and Moltres from the ground is no longer very high. If they continue to fight like this, the surrounding environment will definitely suffer."

"That's also a factor, I suppose."

After hearing Zhang Yu's introduction to the Protect skill, many Water Friends became interested, clearly seeing the potential of this skill.

But before they could say much, their attention was drawn by the suddenly appearing waterspout.

And when they clearly saw which Pokémon was inside, they immediately gasped, good heavens, this was their first time seeing two Legendary creatures of the same kind appear on screen together!

At the same time, this also sparked their guesses about the relationship between the two Lugia.
