Chapter 1449 Hero Fights the Dragon
A mist of powder drifted across the spacious area.
Without a doubt, this is an added effect of Dynamax Fairy—
[Misty Venue]
As the protective devices stopped working, everyone eagerly looked into the arena. Both the Gigantamax Gengar and the Gigantamax Hydreigon were thrown back a short distance by the shockwaves from the high-energy collision.
This shows just how exaggerated the power was.
The announcer's shout immediately echoed throughout the arena: "A tie! Max Dark Lord and Max Fairy have canceled each other out in the collision!"
hum!
Cheers and screams from the audience rose and fell like waves.
"Well done, Gengar!"
"Let's take down Hydreigon in one go with Dynamax Fairy!"
"Go, Gengar!"
"Pop! Pop!"
Ash's supporters were ecstatic. Gigantamax Gengar's performance was truly amazing. Why not take advantage of its momentum and defeat its opponent directly!
However, some calm people believe that the next move is crucial.
Once a Pokémon has used a Dynamax move three times after Dynamaxing, it will be forced to de-Dynamax. Gengar, in its Gigantamax form, has already used two moves and only has one chance left.
And Kashiwagi can Dynamax Hydreigon twice more!
Can Gengar withstand Dynamax moves with defensive moves like Hydreigon?
very dangerous!
Everyone looked extremely tense.
Inside the venue.
"Genga..."
Gigantamax Gengar flicked its long tongue from its crimson maw, and a hint of seriousness flashed in its golden eyes.
The clash between the Dynamax Fairy and Dynamax Darkrai may have seemed evenly matched, but in reality, the Fairy was slightly more suppressed. Furthermore, there are type advantages and disadvantages between type-based energies; the fact that it could reach that point only proves that the opponent's special attack power far surpasses its own.
It looked at the Dynamaxed Hydreigon in the distance, which was spewing smoke, and realized that it only had one chance left to use a Dynamax move, so its huge body began to writhe.
"Genga!"
Gigantamax Gengar roared.
Hearing this voice from behind, Ash immediately realized what was happening and said with a determined expression, "I understand! Gengar! Please!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kashiwagi on the other side gave the order.
"Max Magnum Bully!"
"Roar!!"
The Dynamaxed Hydreigon roared to the sky, and dark red energy surged around it, forming two huge orbs of light.
The next instant, a distorted torrent of black and red energy surged out, piercing the air like a long dragon with a low, muffled roar, as if it were about to destroy the world, and fiercely charged towards the inexplicably unmoved Gigantamax Gengar!
"Swallow it! Dynamax Fairy!!"
Ash issued a command that surprised everyone.
Then, the Gigantamax Gengar suddenly expanded its mouth to its limit, and its bottomless throat, like a black hole, actively and frantically sucked the Max Darkrai into it!
The host exclaimed in surprise, "What?! Ash Ketchum actually let Gigantamax Gengar absorb his opponent's move?!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
Dante, who was in the lounge, was also quite surprised, while Zhulan's expression was very calm.
"As expected of him."
"Yes."
Rumble—!!
The air exploded, followed by a terrifying muffled sound. All of this originated from the body of the Gigantamax Gengar. The Max Darkrai was fully unleashed inside it, and its terrifying power even caused its body to deform slightly.
But it still persevered!
Yes.
Following the absorption of Marie's Grimmsnarl's DD-Gold Hook Arm and Raibou's Flygon's Sandstorm, the audacious Ash directly had Gigantamax Gengar absorb Gigantamax Darkrai from Gigantamax Hydreigon.
Even Gigantamax Gengar launched a counterattack!
"It's your time to shine, Gengar!"
"Waaaaah!!"
It emitted a muffled sound, and a cluster of colorful meteors crashed down from the sky, intending to smash into the Dynamaxed Hydreigon.
However, upon discovering that its own moves had been absorbed, the Dynamaxed Hydreigon made an equally unexpected reaction.
It charged towards Gigantamax Gengar, carrying with it the remaining dark red light waves!
"Roar!!"
The roaring Dynamax Hydreigon collided with the Gigantamax Gengar the instant Max Fairy crashed down. The dull thud was deafening, and the two giant beasts, comparable in size to buildings, trembled violently. At the same time, they were completely overwhelmed by the violent energy surge that erupted from the collision between Max Fairy and Max Darkrai.
Boom—!!
The earth-shattering explosion transformed into a terrifying shockwave that swept across the entire arena in an instant. A column of smoke shot straight into the sky, covering the arena and obscuring all light.
The audience could only feel the terrifying tremors coming from beneath their buttocks, and the storm-like impacts that were firmly blocked by the protective devices. Many timid people couldn't help but cover their ears, trembling with fear.
What a horrifying scene!
However, inside the lounge, Nemo, her face beaming with excitement, stepped forward instead of backing down, leaning against the French windows and exclaiming with fervor, "As expected of Dynamax! No matter how many times I see it, it's always incredibly exhilarating!"
Do you often watch Dynamax tournaments?
Emperor Dan caught the information hidden in the words and asked with a smile.
Nemo turned around and said shyly, "Yes, when I was little, my family often brought me to watch your matches. Later, I went away to school and rarely came back."
"So you were originally a Galatian?" Dante was even more surprised.
He suddenly felt that Nemo looked familiar, but before he could think about it further, the smoke in the arena below had already begun to dissipate.
Dan Di's gaze was immediately drawn to it.
The same goes for those around them.
Countless people eagerly awaited the outcome of that incredible duel.
Can Gigantamax Gengar successfully defeat Gigantamax Hydreigon using the Dynamax Fairy it just used?
They got the answer quickly.
Because of its enormous size, the Dynamaxed Hydreigon remained standing in the arena and did not exhaust its stamina due to the Dynamax Fairy, thus prematurely deactivating its Dynamax form.
The host shouted, "What amazing patience! The Dynamax Hydreigon withstood the unexpected attack from the Gigantamax Gengar!"
"Did it survive by being worn down by the energy from the collision of moves? Then what is the state of Gigantamax Gengar?"
All eyes were fixed on the half of the field in front of Ash, where a round figure struggled to stand up amidst the shattered terrain.
"Gen...ga!"
It was Gengar that had unleashed its Gigantamax form!
It stood there, enduring the pain, which deeply moved Ash behind it. "Gengar...you..."
"Genga!"
Gengar held on to its last breath and gave the trainer a thumbs-up without turning its head.
Having been deceived by lies and endured years of suffering before realizing it had been ruthlessly abandoned, this Pokémon cherishes Ash, who loves it dearly and considers it an important partner.
We must repay him!
Be a partner he can be proud of!
Gengar, holding fast to its beliefs, stands firmly on its feet with a body that appears thick but is actually thin.
The host exclaimed in disbelief, "Gengar! Gengar hasn't lost its ability to battle! That's incredible!"
Wow!
The audience erupted in applause!
Everyone knows that Gengar's act of devouring Dynamax Darkrai was an attempt to trade one for one with Dynamaxed Hydreigon.
Who could have predicted that this high-stakes gamble would fail, yet not completely fail?
Because it is still inside the venue!
"Genga..."
Gengar stared at the towering Dynamax Hydreigon with its blood-red eyes, secretly regretting that it hadn't learned Destiny Bond.
If so, it can not only delay Hydreigon's third Dynamax move, but also do much more!
hatred!
hate it!
A deep purple aura emanated from Gengar, a powerful surge of resentment.
Seeing this, Kashiwagi immediately said, "Don't give it a chance! Max Airstream!"
"Roar!"
The Dynamaxed Hydreigon roared, its uncontrollable rage transforming into a visible horizontal tornado as its six wings flapped!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!
A pale white gale swept across the entire arena, its sharp blades tearing the ground to create huge trenches, stirring up countless pebbles mixed in with it. With terrifying force, it directly struck Gengar, instantly sending it flying away along with it!
Boom!
The Max Air slammed heavily into the protective barrier that appeared in front of the audience seats. The purplish-red light shield trembled violently, and a tooth-grinding groan came from somewhere from time to time, as if it was about to be destroyed.
The audience directly opposite instinctively raised their hands to defend themselves, letting out screams that were half excited and half terrified.
Four or five seconds later.
The tornado, which spanned over 100 meters, had just stopped.
The purplish-black figure fell from in front of the protective device, like a deflated balloon, kicking up dust with a thud.
Not far away, the Dynamaxed Hydreigon's body glowed with an orange-yellow light, and Max Air gave it a speed boost.
Deng Pei carefully stepped onto Aegislash and flew into the arena. After checking Gengar's status, he immediately raised his hand to announce it.
"Gengar is unable to battle! Hydreigon wins!"
Deng!
The content on the big screen immediately changed, announcing to the world Ash's defeat in the second battle.
The host responded, "Round two is over! Gengar has lost! What a pity!"
He sighed deeply.
The audience seats were equally noisy.
Most of the comments expressed regret that Ash and Gengar's scheme failed.
Brock understood that Kashiwagi knew Ash too well. When Gigantamax Gengar swallowed Max Darkrai, he genuinely believed that Gigantamax Hydreigon could potentially lose.
Unexpectedly, the Dynamaxed Hydreigon reacted so quickly, charging directly at the Gigantamaxed Gengar, causing the two moves to collide and annihilate each other, greatly reducing the power it had to withstand.
This response is almost as if they had anticipated this move from their opponent.
Xiao Gang was right.
Kashiwa and Hydreigon did manage to defend against Gengar, after all, it wasn't the first time it had done something like this.
While Hydreigon's output is certainly not comparable to the previous two, nothing is impossible for Ash in the official arena.
Back in the Advanced Generation League, Ash's Swellow was able to stop Donphan's roll with just its claws. For Ash in the main competition, type advantage is mostly just a reference point.
Of course, it's not that it can't be used, it's just that if you want to achieve the expected effect, it depends on whether Ash will cooperate.
When he feels he can take a gamble, you must counter him by making sure he wins.
Therefore, Kashiwagi would never allow a Dynamaxed Hydreigon to overpower a Dynamax Fairy, and would instead gamble with Ash's Gigantamax Gengar on who would fall first.
Pointless.
All we can do on our side is to proceed steadily and surely.
"Well done."
Kashiwagi said to the three-headed dragon in front of him, which had returned to its original state, "Stabilize the situation and eat them one by one!"
"Sigh!"
The three-headed dragon growled, its inner rage ever-present.
This has a remarkable effect on increasing attack power.
It understood the simple truth that fighting requires enough passion when it was three months old. The key skill it has mastered so far is to remain rational in its anger.
Not far away.
Ash recalled the unconscious Gengar and said softly, "Thank you, Gengar. You did a great job!"
The scheme had actually succeeded, but the opponent's countermeasures were too decisive, so it failed to work.
He took a deep breath. "It's okay, we still have a chance!"
In the blink of an eye, a Poké Ball was thrown forward.
boom!
The light shone brightly.
"Gah!"
Following the Dragon and Ghost type Pokémon, the third one Ash sent out was surprisingly the Fighting type Sirfetch'd!
Holding the white sword and green shield made by the Brilliant King, it stood tall and proud, determined to take down the evil dragon, the Three-Headed Dragon!
Host: "Ash's third Pokémon! The Fighting-type Sirfetch'd has arrived! Do you all remember its amazing performance in the semifinals?"
"Will Kashiwagi choose to trade Pokémon when faced with this Pokémon?"
the answer is negative.
The moment Onion Soldiers appeared, Kashiwagi spoke up: "Feathered Roost".
"Sigh."
The three-headed dragon landed swiftly, its broad wings drooping, and white feathers appeared out of thin air, merging into its body and transforming into a harmonious green glow that warmed the heart.
Seeing this, the host couldn't wait to shout, "No trades! Kashiwagi is actually going to let the three demigods fight to the death! Is he going to win against all six of them?"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
How could a three-headed dragon defeat six opponents at once?
That's outrageous!
But if he didn't have that intention, why didn't Kashiwagi trade Pokémon?
No one could figure out what he was thinking at that moment.
In the audience, the heroines who had accompanied Ash on his journey for many years were worried. Most of them had a clear understanding of Kashiwagi's strength, not to mention that the two battles just now had already proven a lot.
Is Kashiwagi really going to fight six opponents by himself?
Xiao Gang shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Kashiwagi isn't that kind of trainer."
In his memory, Kashiwagi rarely made such gambling-like moves; he only wanted to play it safe and be even safer. Perhaps his decision not to exchange Pokémon was due to other considerations.
In the lounge, Piper whispered, "I reckon the three-headed dragon wants to keep fighting."
"Ah."
Peony nodded in agreement.
They had traveled with Kashiwagi for quite some time and knew very well that the Kashiwagi family's three-headed dragon was a creature that appeared ferocious but was actually very willful and childish.
While being steady, Kashiwagi also highly respects the Pokémon's own wishes.
Considering that the three-headed dragons hadn't participated in the previous two battles, the two who knew Kashiwagi well could easily draw the following conclusion—
The three-headed dragon will only be defeated after at least three battles.
Otherwise, there's no way to make up for the loss of missing the first and second rounds.
As for whether this will backfire...
It's difficult to understand cypress based on Pipa and Mudan's knowledge.
When he really wanted to replace a Pokémon, no one could stop him, not even Leon.
