Chapter 32 The Battle of Silver Mountain
But Lin Wan had no intention of giving up.
It's not that she wants to keep going, it's that she feels there's still a chance.
Although I can't find any opportunities at all.
Emerald Pokémon should be able to withstand one attack, but even in Sunny Day, it cannot one-shot Charizard after its second evolution.
Just as Hao Zheng said, the electric dragon was completely useless and could be easily killed.
Is there really no way?
Lin Wan wanted to run away, but she couldn't escape during the battle with the trainer.
Is everything going to just go black?
The mouse cursor moved over the two Pokémon, and then she seemed to have thought of something.
No, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Lin Wan replaced the Emperor Naboo with the electric dragon, whose usefulness was unknown.
"No way, why aren't you just dying already, what are you doing holding on like this?"
"Die quickly and come back so you can still try for the first kill. If you stay here and don't die, you're definitely out of luck."
"What is Wan'er doing? She just got the Emperor Naboo, and then did nothing but switch to Electro Dragon."
Even Hao Zheng couldn't understand Lin Wan's actions this time, and remained silent while watching the live stream.
Meanwhile, the chat in Hao Zheng's live stream was also starting to get impatient.
"Why are you still looking at her? She's just clinging to the spotlight and trying to ride the wave of popularity."
"It's a pity that Brother Hao didn't fight in the Johto region, otherwise he could be competing for the first kill at Mt. Silver now."
"It's not too late to start now, Brother Hao, hurry up and fly to the Tokyo area."
"Brother Hao is choosing a grass master, I want to see Brother Hao get tortured."
Charizard used Thunder Punch again.
The electric dragon took the damage from that punch.
But that's not the key point.
The key is that Ampharos's ability is static electricity, and static electricity can sometimes paralyze Pokémon that come into contact with it.
Without a doubt, the Lightning Fist is a contact move.
Today, Lady Luck has chosen to stand by Lin Wan's side.
The Charizard was thus paralyzed.
Once paralyzed, the speed is halved.
The previously noisy barrage of comments suddenly fell silent, followed by a screen full of question marks.
The problem is easily solved by slowing down the Charizard's speed.
Ampharos used a Thunderbolt to finish its mission before dying, followed by Empoleon. Despite the sunny weather, Empoleon still managed to finish off Charizard, who was left with only low health, with a Water Gun.
The barrage of comments that were just moments ago full of doubt instantly turned into a screen full of congratulations, and gifts were flying everywhere.
At that moment, Lin Wan, with tears in her eyes, watched as Chi Hong placed her hat on Chi Hong's head.
There was no sentimentality, no encouragement, not even ellipses.
The scene flashed, and Crimson disappeared from its spot, leaving only Lin Wan on the mountaintop.
Lin Wan didn't know what to say at this moment.
The live stream was silent for a minute.
"Sorry everyone, I have a lot to say but I don't know where to begin, so I'll be ending my stream now. If any other Pokémon players need guides, I'll have to trouble you guys who are good at writing guides. Thank you Pokémon, thank you Tangren Games, thank you everyone for your support, see you tomorrow."
Unlike Lin Wan's live stream, the official Pokémon live stream and Hao Zheng's live stream were filled with questions.
"How did Charizard get paralyzed?"
"Why doesn't Crimson use a flamethrower?"
"Heh, Tangren Games' clown is such a disgusting example of blatant marketing."
"+1, they've been pushing this woman ever since Plants vs. Zombies, I wonder what Tangren Games owes her?"
Hao Zheng, who had just come to his senses, also had a cold expression and personally stepped in to begin the process of bestowing titles.
It's worth noting that he's always been seen as a nice guy online; otherwise, so many people wouldn't call him "Tang Yi'er" in his livestreams, and he wouldn't get angry.
Such a move of personally taking action to ban someone is extremely rare, perhaps only once a year, which shows that he was indeed angry.
Perhaps because he had banned those who were foul-mouthed, or more likely because most people were afraid of being banned by him, the atmosphere in the live stream became much more harmonious. Hao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and opened the Paint program on his computer.
"Stop yelling in the chat, let me explain what just happened."
"First of all, the electric dragon's static electricity ability gives it a chance to paralyze opponents who use contact skills. Wan'er was lucky, or rather, this paralysis was a reward for the brave."
When Hao Zheng started drawing diagrams to explain, the comments section started asking questions again. However, this time it didn't involve personal attacks. Most of the comments were asking why he didn't use Flamethrower, while a small number of comments were asking other comments why he used Fire-type moves on Water-type Pokémon.
"First of all, let me say that the type of Emerald is Water/Steel, so Fire-type moves will deal normal damage to it."
Next, I'll explain why Red chose Thunder Punch instead of other moves. From this battle, we can see that Red's Charizard's move pool likely includes Flamethrower, Thunder Punch, Rock Slide, and an unknown move that is most likely a Flying-type move.
I believe everyone would agree that Flying-type and Rock Slide are excluded, but why Thunder Punch instead of Flamethrower?
Let's do a simple calculation. Although Charizard's Flamethrower has a power of 200+ in sunny weather, Wan'er's Emerald has a 252 HP stat, which means that Charizard's Flamethrower cannot one-shot Emerald.
Meanwhile, the barrage of comments continued to flood the screen.
"If you can't kill it instantly, you can't kill it instantly. Even Emerald Pokémon can't kill Charizard instantly. In the second round, Charizard will attack first, and Emerald Pokémon will die, right?"
"No."
Hao Zheng denied.
"That's what makes Wan'er so amazing. She not only knows her Pokémon well, but she also dares to take risks. If Charizard uses Flamethrower, it will trigger Empoleon's Torrent ability. Under Torrent, the power of Water-type moves is multiplied by 1.5. That is to say, even on sunny days, Empoleon's Hydro Pump power is calculated as 110 × 1.5 (STAB bonus) × 0.5 (weather effect) × 2 (type advantage) × 1.5 (Torrent ability). The final result is 247.5, rounded down to 247. Charizard definitely can't withstand this damage."
The viewers in the live chat suddenly understood the calculation formulas on Hao Zheng's drawing board and exclaimed "Awesome!"
If Crimson wants to win at this point, it can only use one move to reduce Empoleon's health to below the KO threshold of Flamethrower. Rock Slide and that unknown Flying-type move definitely cannot do this.
Wan'er realized this within a few dozen seconds.
But that's not the main point. The main point is that Wan'er trusted Crimson, believing that the strongest character in the game would think to use other skills to lower his health first. You see, from our perspective, Crimson is just an NPC; defeating him is a piece of cake. But Wan'er didn't think that way; she genuinely considered Crimson a formidable opponent. And coincidentally, Crimson's skills were contact-based, and even more coincidentally, he was also simultaneously paralyzed.
The screen was flooded with comments of sudden realization, and clips of Lin Wan's battle with Crimson on Silver Mountain began to go viral on the internet.
