"Karoo~"
Seeing the fiercely approaching Razor Leaf, Magikarp, without Adrian's command, slapped its tail on the ground and leaped into the air.
Razor Leaf missed!
"It dodged!"
Erika's small mouth was slightly open, looking a bit surprised.
Because she had never seen Adrian's Magikarp jump so high, she found it incredibly unbelievable at first glance.
Adrian's Magikarp almost broke through the Gym's ceiling.
But what Erika didn't know was that if it weren't for the Gym's ceiling, Magikarp could actually jump even higher.
However, after her initial shock, Erika couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle, "Although Magikarp dodged Weepinbell's first wave of Razor Leaf, jumping into the air without leverage means it's a sitting duck. Weepinbell, use Razor Leaf again."
"This time it's really over!"
Everyone in the Streamer's room closed their eyes.
"Not necessarily!"
Just then, Adrian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, smiling at the camera, "Does everyone know about a move that descends from the sky?"
"???"
In the Streamer's room, many question marks floated across the screen.
Fortunately, they didn't need to ask, as Adrian directly gave the answer when the leaf blades reappeared, rapidly spinning as they flew towards Magikarp in mid-air.
"Magikarp, Bounce!"
Adrian shouted loudly.
The trump card, which had been brewing for a long time, was finally quietly revealed at this moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly appeared on Magikarp in mid-air.
Even though it was an enclosed venue, a current of air appeared around Magikarp, supporting it as it forcibly turned in mid-air, cleverly dodging the renewed assault of Razor Leaf.
"Karoo~"
Magikarp glared fiercely, its eyes fixed on the Weepinbell not far away, its body, enveloped in Flying-type energy, began to plummet rapidly, like a torpedo missile striking straight down.
Screech!
Accompanied by a sharp shriek, Magikarp's fin, shining with white light, lightly sliced through the air.
Weepinbell seemed to be struck by an electric current, its body frozen in place.
After a few breaths, Weepinbell swayed and then collapsed.
Silence!
Absolute silence!
Both the Streamer's room and the people on site were stunned by this scene.
They had expected a one-sided situation, and while it was indeed one-sided now, they had all miscalculated the advantaged side.
It wasn't Adrian's Magikarp that lost; it was Erika's Weepinbell.
"Did I see that right? Magikarp won?"
"One-shotting Weepinbell? Is this reasonable?"
"The move that descends from the sky, does it refer to the 'Bounce' move? Then it's reasonable! After all, the Bounce move is a mid-to-high-tier Flying-type tm, not only powerful but also super effective against Grass-types. But the question is, how could Magikarp possibly learn the Bounce move?"
"Why are you shouting so loudly? You're surprised, I'm even more surprised!"
"Oh my god! I was wondering before why the Streamer's Magikarp could jump so high, far surpassing other Magikarp. Turns out Magikarp has mastered the 'Bounce' move! (Mudkip saw through everything.JPG)"
"So this is the Streamer's confidence! Streamer, you hid it so well, you played it so fancy, I love it so much!"
...The bullet comments scrolled wildly, almost covering the entire screen.
At the same time, the popularity of the Streamer's room soared again.
A Magikarp that mastered the Bounce move was a rarity even in the Pokémon world; many people had never even heard of it, and Erika was no exception.
Having lost two pokémon in a row, Erika was also very confused now.
The opposing Magikarp was too bizarre!
"It seems my brothers are very surprised that Magikarp has mastered the 'Bounce' move?"
Taking advantage of Erika's confusion, Adrian glanced at the Streamer's room and smiled, "Actually, there's nothing strange about it. Magikarp's evolved form, Gyarados, has the Flying-type and can master Flying-type moves like 'Hurricane' and 'Bounce'. And my Magikarp is exceptionally talented, plus I have a little bit of experience in teaching moves, so it's very reasonable for it to master it early."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fans in the Streamer's room started discussing again, and bullet comments continuously appeared.
"So the Streamer is a movemaster? No wonder he can train Magikarp's moves so well. It's clearly a Tackle move, but it's performed more like Take Down."
"Magikarp's Splash move is also very powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be able to jump so high."
"Streamer, I also have a Magikarp, can you teach it the Bounce move? I'll pay more!"
...Seeing the bullet comments, Adrian quickly denied, "The Streamer is not a move master, just very interested in moves, brothers, don't guess wildly."
"Want to learn the Bounce move? Pay more? Can't do it even with more money!"
Adrian quickly shook his head and refused, then bluffed, "Magikarp's Bounce move was actually learned by chance, so everyone, please stop guessing."
He knew nothing about teaching Moves; it was all thanks to the 'TM' rewarded by his cheat ability, but Adrian didn't want anyone to know about that for now.
At this moment, Adrian regretted his showing off just now.
"Go, Gloom!"
Across the field, Erika finally snapped out of her daze and sent out her Gloom, which she had raised since it was small.
Gloom had a blue, plant-bulb-like body, a pair of arms and a pair of feet, and a reddish-brown flower with white spots on its head. The flower had four spherical petals and four light brown sepals.
"Dah-neh~"
Gloom's eyes seemed to always be closed, it had purple lips, and was constantly drooling, looking very messy.
"Streamer, be careful! This Gloom's stench is terrifying. In a previous Gym challenge, my Charmander had already gained an advantage, but it lost its ability to battle after being enveloped by its stench."
"Why would such a cute and beautiful Miss Erika raise such a messy and foul-smelling pokémon? I don't understand!"
"This is Miss Erika's third pokémon, right? Can the Streamer really win?"
"I think it's difficult! The Streamer gained an advantage earlier purely by surprise. But now that Miss Erika is on guard, it's unlikely the Streamer will get an easy win. After all, the opponent is a Gym Leader!"
...Erika's Gloom was clearly infamous; many people in the Streamer's room alone had suffered losses because of it.
Even though Magikarp had gained an advantage, no one still believed he could win.
"Gloom, use Stench!"
Erika was the first to give an attack command.
"Dah-neh~"
The flower on Gloom's head slightly opened, and a terrifying stench swept out, making Adrian's eyes sting so much he could barely keep them open, and he felt it difficult to breathe.
But at the same time, Adrian was overjoyed and shouted, "Bounce!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Magikarp glowed white all over, enveloped in Flying-type energy, and shot out again like a cannonball, blasting into the cloud of stench.
"Dah-neh~"
Gloom cried out in pain, its stamina significantly decreased, and it was directly panting heavily.
"Didn't finish it off? This Gloom's stamina is really high!"
Adrian secretly thought it was a pity.
Across the field, Erika was extremely puzzled, "Why did Gloom's stench have no effect on Magikarp?"
Not only Erika, but even the netizens in the Streamer's room expressed their confusion.
"I know this! Because Magikarp are fish that usually live in water, their olfactory sacs are different from our regular noses; they can only smell when water flows through them. Magikarp cannot smell odors that are just in the air."
In the Streamer's room, there was actually a knowledgeable pokémon researcher who immediately explained, and only then did the netizens realize what was happening.
"Magikarp, press the advantage, use Bounce again!"
Adrian was excited; he could already see the light of victory.
Just one more hit, and Gloom would surely fall.
Coincidentally, Gloom's condition was very poor right now; it clearly hadn't recovered from the previous heavy blow.
It was a heaven-sent opportunity!
"Oh my god! Magikarp is going to win!"
In the Streamer's room, the netizens held their breath, feeling as if they were about to witness history again.
"Karoo~"
Magikarp glared fiercely, radiating killing intent.
But the next second, a look of pain suddenly appeared on Magikarp's face, and its body became unable to move even an inch.
