Chapter 509 Resolution: The Earth Crack with Nowhere to Hide
"clang--!!!"
A piercing clang of metal clashing resounded throughout the arena! It was as if two heavy hammers had slammed together!
Sparks even flew from the point of contact where Tauros's horn collided with Sonic Cricket's scythe-like arm!
A powerful shockwave spread out from the point of impact, stirring up dust on the ground!
Stalemate!
But it only lasted for a moment!
While the Speaker Cricket excels in skill, it is ultimately inferior to the Tauros, who is known for his brute force, in a pure power struggle!
"Dili...!"
The cricket let out a somewhat painful cry, its crossed arms bent backward by the immense force, and its body involuntarily slid backward.
"That's it! Push it back hard, Tauros!" Ash shouted.
"Moo—!" Tauros exerted his strength again, his muscles bulging, and the power in his horns suddenly erupted!
"boom!"
The speaker-shaped cricket could no longer hold on, and its body was violently sent flying like a kite with a broken string. It drew an arc in the air and then crashed heavily onto the ground several meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Kentaro stopped, shook his head, and exhaled two thick puffs of white breath from his nostrils. His eyes remained fierce, as if the previous collision was just a warm-up.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the figure of the speaker cricket was revealed.
It struggled to stand up, but its body seemed to be seriously injured. After swaying a few times, it ultimately failed to stand up completely.
A hint of seriousness flashed across Shang Zhi's brow.
The attack power of the Snorlax is indeed somewhat insufficient when facing a Pokémon like Tauros, which is known for its brute force.
What's even more troublesome is that this Tauros can also use Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Lacking wide-range attack methods, it will be quite difficult for the Speaker Krill to break through the Shadow Clone and find Tauros's true form in a short time.
The gap in attack power and the shortcomings in skills seem to indicate that Speaker Crab's situation is not optimistic.
However, there was no panic in Shang Zhi's eyes. Instead, in his rapidly racing thoughts, he caught a fleeting glimmer of inspiration.
Perhaps this plan is feasible?
A bold idea gradually took shape in Shangzhi's mind.
"Speaker Scraper, Sword Dance!" Shang Zhi's steady and clear voice broke the brief silence on the field.
Upon hearing the sound, the speaker-shaped cricket gracefully spread its arms, waving its sickle-shaped forearms.
Suddenly, several sharp sword energies began to gather around the speaker cricket.
By using Swords Dance, you can significantly increase your attack power, thereby reducing the gap in attack power between Krillin and Tauros.
This approach is quite common, but any normal opponent will not stand idly by when they see the other using an enhanced skill.
"Tauros, ram! Stop it!" Ash gave the same command again, simple and direct, yet incredibly effective.
"Moo-!"
Tauros understood the command, and with a burst of power from its four hooves, the ground trembled as it charged towards the Sonic Cricket once more like an arrow released from a bow.
This time, Tauros was faster and more aggressive, as if he wanted to crush everything in front of him!
As Tauros and Squeak got closer and closer, Tauros was about to crash into Squeak's body.
Shang Zhi's lips suddenly curled up slightly, forming a meaningful arc.
"Speaker Cricket, sing!"
Sword dance was not Shangzhi's true purpose; this move was.
While the difference in attack power between the Snorlax and the Snorlax can be made up for by Swords Dance, Ash certainly won't give him that chance.
However, Tauros's attempt to stop Squeak gave Squeak the opportunity to use its singing ability.
If Tauros is put to sleep, then both the difference in attack power and the problem of Krillin's inability to break through Shadow Clone Jutsu in a short time will be solved.
"Beep—"
The speaker cricket's elegant dancing posture suddenly stopped, and instead, it opened its insect-like mouthparts and emitted a series of strange sound waves that sounded like a lullaby.
The song began, with a special rhythm that seemed to soothe the anxiety and unease in people's hearts, making them feel sleepy and relaxed.
Normally, it's quite difficult to use Sing successfully, just like Sword Dance, but at such close range, Sing is guaranteed to hit Tauros!
Seeing Tauros's steps falter for a moment because of the Sonic Cricket's song, just when Shang Zhi thought his strategy was about to succeed—
"Tauro, use your stomp on the ground!"
Ash's voice rang out again.
Almost as long as a person is able to finish thinking, Xiao Zhi has already given his answer to the problem.
"Moo!!!"
Kentaro, who had been standing still, suddenly lifted his foot and slammed it heavily onto the ground!
"Thump—!!!"
A deep, muffled bang resounded throughout the entire arena!
The ground seemed to tremble!
The sound of Tauros stomping on the ground instantly drowned out the slightly soft singing of the speaker cricket, creating a powerful sound wave that spread in all directions.
The cricket's song abruptly stopped!
The singing was interrupted so easily!
Using the noise generated by stomping to counteract the hypnotic effect of singing?!
Shangzhi, who had thought he had the victory in his grasp, fell into a brief daze after Xiaozhi successfully solved the puzzle.
This time, Ash didn't give him any chance to react.
"Tauro, corner ram!!"
"Moo—!!!"
With a roar, Tauros lowered its head and aimed its pair of gleaming horns at the nearby Sonic the Cricket, launching another fierce charge!
The speaker had just stopped singing and was still in a stiff state, so it didn't have time to react at all!
"Bang--!!!"
Another dull thud echoed!
The Speaker Cricket's body was propelled high into the air by Tauros.
The intense pain caused the speaker-shaped cricket to involuntarily close its eyes.
Just as the speaker was about to fall to the ground from high above—
"Tauro, Earth Shatter!"
Ash's final command also signaled the end of this round of the match.
"BOOM—!!!"
An earthquake has struck!
As Tauros pressed forward, the ground suddenly cracked open with a huge fissure, like the gaping maw of a giant beast swallowing everything.
The speaker cricket landed right in the center of the crack in the ground!
There was no suspense, and no struggle whatsoever.
The speaker cricket's body was swallowed up by the ground fissure in an instant, completely submerged in the rolling dust.
The dust settled, and the ground returned to calm, leaving only a shocking crack and a Speaker Cricket lying paralyzed on the ground, completely incapacitated.
