Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 174 Anomaly, Natural Disaster

As the equipment malfunctioned, the competition, which was about to succeed and dispel the clouds, suddenly came to a halt.

Rumble!

The next moment, a series of muffled thunderclaps resounded in the sky.

boom!

The clouds grew even darker, and streaks of lightning flashed through the clouds.

Fang Zhou's gaze sharpened; a thunderstorm had been born from the original rain clouds!

Something's happened to my kidneys!

The surrounding audience also gasped in surprise.

"Holy crap! What happened?!"

"Why did it suddenly get so dark? I'm not going to watch anymore, I need to go home and collect the laundry."

"Is this the power of that Mr. Mime?"

Emily slapped her forehead. "I get it! This is the purpose of the suction cup puppet. By introducing lightning, it increases the power of the electric attribute, making the celestial phenomena more chaotic, causing the three energies of water, electricity, and fire to cancel each other out and weaken each other, and finally it takes action to suppress them."

The onlookers suddenly realized that stirring up the water was also a solution.

Stand by and watch, reaping the benefits without lifting a finger!

Bulbasaur!

Mr. Mime: ? ? ?

God the hell stirred up the waters, and God the hell reaped the benefits!

This scene wasn't in the script!

The suction cup puppet panicked and turned to look at Takagure.

Gao Shou panicked, cursing the starfish in his heart for being unreliable. He was extremely anxious, wondering what had gone wrong with the starfish.

But the competition is still going on!

Even if he was anxious, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

Gao Shou gave the suction cup puppet a few winks.

You're an actor, so what about the self-cultivation of an actor?

Even if the stage collapses, we have to grit our teeth and finish the performance!

Suction Cup Puppet: 彳亍口巴.

It turned around, nervously watching the lightning streaking across the sky, trembling with fear.

But he still stretched out his two big hands, swayed his body from side to side as before, and his eyes shone with blue light, as if he was still trying.

next moment.

boom!

A blue bolt of lightning, like a long snake, snaked down from the sky and landed on the suction cup puppet.

boom!

The suction cup puppet emitted wisps of black smoke from its body, and its eyes swirled like mosquito coils, clearly indicating that it had lost its ability to fight.

Wow!

Another disturbance erupted from the audience.

"What happened? Didn't it create this lightning? How did it get struck by itself?"

"Holy crap, where's Miss Joey? Help!"

"That's so tragic!"

"Mom, I'm so scared! Thunder is so scary, I want to go home."

"Don't be afraid, baby. The mayor is here. He chased the thundercloud away in no time. Don't be afraid~"

At that moment, the town mayor's voice rang out, "Contestant Gao Shou, unfortunately, has failed the challenge. Please welcome the last challenger, Fang Zhou!"

The mayor waved his hand, signaling Salamence and Dragonair to suppress the chaotic celestial phenomena.

Just then, Mani's voice rang out from the side.

"Mayor, please wait a moment." Mani looked at Ark with an apologetic expression and bowed slightly.

"Ark, my Psyduck has reached its limit and is about to step into the Elite Four. It needs to undergo a transformation under intense pressure." Mani looked intently at the celestial phenomenon in the sky where three energies intertwined.

"This celestial phenomenon seems like a good opportunity. Could I give it a try?"

Fangzhou understood. As someone who also had many Pokémon stuck at the Elite Four level, Fangzhou understood the other person's thoughts.

This Psyduck, like its Salamence, probably aspires to become a Champion by controlling celestial phenomena and ultimately reach the pinnacle of this field.

Natural celestial phenomena are far beyond Psyduck's control and offer it no value for training. It's like a boxing novice challenging Tyson; all he'll learn is get beaten down.

The best results are achieved when one's experience is slightly beyond their capabilities.

For example, the celestial phenomena in the sky right now.

Mani originally thought that Psyduck would be able to break through in the previous challenge, but he was still a little short. Therefore, he hopes to seize this opportunity to try again.

Fang Zhou readily agreed, and the town mayor nodded encouragingly as well.

The surrounding crowd was even more expectant.

"Wow, I actually witnessed Breakthrough King live! Go Mani!"

"I didn't expect Marni to be so amazing. I hope she can succeed."

Fangzhou was equally expectant. Previously, Salamence had naturally entered the Elite Four level after evolution, relying on the accumulation of legendary resources. This was the first time Fangzhou had seen a Salamence truly find its own path to becoming an Elite Four member.

Hopefully it will be successful, and it will also provide experience for Kirlia and the others to break through later.

"You guys should observe carefully and see how they broke through," Fangzhou said softly to the Pokémon beside him.

Several Pokémon nodded vigorously, all looking at Marnie on the stage with expectant expressions.

Amidst everyone's expectant gaze, Psyduck makes its reappearance.

His eyes glowed blue as he once again used the power of his superpower-enhancing abilities, just like before.

Now a third celestial phenomenon has appeared on the field, and the level of weather chaos is increasing exponentially!

As before, Psyduck carefully drew out water and fire-type energy, but this time there was also electric-type energy.

Slow and steady wins the race; without the force of crushing, one can only rely on meticulous, painstaking work.

The audience watched this scene with bated breath, afraid to breathe too loudly for fear of disturbing Psyduck.

As the energy in the air gradually dissipated, blue light began to appear around Psyduck, and a blue ball of light appeared on the ground centered on it!

Fang Zhou's gaze sharpened; this was a sign that he was about to enter the Heavenly King level!

But just then, bang!

With a loud boom, a series of booming sounds echoed in the air.

Psyduck slumped to the ground, shaking its head in frustration, as the strange phenomena that had just occurred around it vanished.

Failed.

Despite being very careful, it still failed.

Mani, who was standing nearby, quickly went over and hugged Psyduck to comfort it.

"It's such a pity, it felt like it was just a little bit short."

"Sigh, although I don't have any Elite Four Pokémon, I've heard that failing to advance the first time can have a big impact on your future growth and can easily leave you with psychological trauma."

"The road to becoming a superstar is incredibly difficult."

Emily, standing nearby, also shook her head repeatedly, lamenting how regrettable it was.

The mayor sighed softly, signaled Ark to come up on stage, and waved his hand, preparing to summon Salamence and Dragonair to suppress the celestial phenomenon and recreate the weather of rain and clear skies.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

Perhaps influenced by Psyduck's manipulation, the already precarious balance between rain and sunny weather was finally broken after the appearance of lightning!

The dark clouds rolled and swelled rapidly, swallowing the blazing sun, followed by thunder and howling winds!

Natural disaster!

What was originally a man-made celestial phenomenon, after experiencing machine malfunction and Psyduck's manipulation, unexpectedly turned into a natural disaster!

"Quick, Salamence Dragon, stop it!"

The once calm mayor was now completely unfazed, loudly commanding his two Pokémon to stop the celestial phenomena from turning into a natural disaster!

But it was too late!

The rolling thunderstorm clouds seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, suddenly collapsing inward before exploding with a roar!

The blinding flashes of lightning instantly engulfed the two Pokémon that were trying to suppress them.

Salamence and Dragonair were violently thrown back by the raging energy turbulence and were unable to break free for a time.

Finally, it crashed to the ground like a kite with its string cut.
