Chapter 1435 Arrogant Posture
Two dragon arrows struck two parts of the Flame Ace almost simultaneously.
Short distance and fast speed.
It has absolutely no room to react.
Long!
A massive plume of smoke shot into the sky along with a burst of fire, and a visible shockwave swept through the dust and crashed into the stands, instantly triggering the protective gear.
The vast battlefield was shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Dramberto single-handedly unleashed a tremendous force comparable to a clash of moves, demonstrating its formidable attack power.
The host shouted, "Dragon Arrow hits! A super close-range attack leaves Joker with no room to dodge! Dragapult's full speed is terrifying!"
The audience was in an uproar; who could have imagined that in just a moment, the battle would change so drastically that they couldn't comprehend it?
Shadow Clone, Phantom Assault, and Meteor Shower were all easily countered by the Flame Ace, so how did it suddenly...?
The answer is obvious.
Dan Di lowered his arm to shield himself from the oncoming dust and thought to himself, "Is this a test?"
Shadow clones probe reactions, lurking attacks probe attacks, and meteor showers probe responses.
Kashiwagi and Dramberto used three moves to figure out the true nature of Blaze Ace, verifying that they had held back to some extent in their previous battles with Karune, including the more distant battles with Gibana and others, and that part of their strength had just been perfectly displayed.
For example, kicking three fireballs at once, or using fireballs to shatter a meteor shower in advance.
Dan Di once said that he would not show mercy to anyone, but obviously showing mercy and going all out are two different concepts.
"That's really sneaky."
Kashiwagi said with deep emotion, "Luckily, I'm not bad either!"
The smoke and dust dissipated.
Dorombaluto retreated to high altitudes early on, and the Dorombesias circled around it like a planet and its two moons.
Below, in a shallow, spiderweb-like crater, Flame Ace, covered in smoke, was curled up unconscious.
Without any Fairy-type moves, it cannot instantly switch types to block the extremely high power of the Dragon Arrow. Even if it tries to use Iron Head after realizing what's happening, it's too late.
Kashiwagi, taking into account the characteristics of the Free Spirits, specifically had Dorambaruto fire the dragon arrow at close range to ensure a successful hit.
Although the high attack and speed of Flame Ace means that its defenses won't be too high... but what if it is?
Pikachu serves as a cautionary tale!
Fortunately, the judgment was correct!
"Ace Flame is unable to battle! Draco Balto wins!" Deng Pei announced the match result, and with a thud, the image of Ace Flame went dark below the bust of Dan.
Host: "The first Pokémon eliminated has been confirmed! It's Leon's Cinderace! Unbelievable!"
Wow!
The stands erupted in thunderous cheers and shouts, a scene that has played out all over the world, with people gazing at the venue in awe.
Leon has been the first Pokémon to be eliminated!
Extremely rare!
In fact, similar situations have occurred before, but without exception, it was only when Leon's opponent sent out a combination of two or three Pokémon that he barely managed to win.
The match has only been going on for five minutes, and Dorambaruto has already taken down the Flame Ace?
Just how strong are his Pokémon?
Hep gritted his teeth, completely unable to believe the result before him.
Inside the preparation room, all the gym leaders of Galar couldn't sit still and flocked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if getting closer would allow them to see the true nature of Cypress.
Everyone's expressions were serious. Lulina couldn't help but cross her arms and say, "That's terrifying! This guy really can win against anyone with an advantage!"
She had actually fought against Kashiwagi once, but she lost too quickly, easily defeating him twice, which left very few people with an impression.
Zhu Lan remained silent, lost in thought.
She had always noticed that Kashiwagi's Pokémon possessed extremely high base stats, with speed, attack, and defense all being top-notch.
"As expected, its energy level is quite high."
After all, improving one's abilities boils down to two things: training and leveling up. The former requires time to hone one's skills, while the latter can generate an increase simply by improving them.
How high exactly?
Bamboo orchids inevitably developed curiosity.
Inside the stadium.
Dan Di took a deep breath, not feeling discouraged by the defeat of the Blazing Flame Ace; on the contrary, his eyes held a light that could only be described as fanatical.
at last!
A formidable foe we haven't seen in a long time!
He felt his arms go numb and his whole body tremble inexplicably. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Very good! Excellent!"
Dan Di raised his hand and retrieved the Blazing Flame Ace, his smile instantly vanishing, a sharp glint appearing between his brows. "Only facing a formidable opponent! That's the kind of competition I want! Go! Thousand Faces Escaper!"
boom!
The light was dazzling.
With long limbs and a tall, upright figure, it appeared on the scene like a secret agent, the Thousand-Faced Beast. Its transparent nictitating membrane covered its pupils, allowing it to accurately capture all the subtle movements within its field of vision.
“Li oh…”
It looked up at the sky above Dorambaruto, but the next moment the latter was sucked back by a red light.
The host shouted, "Here it comes! Kashiwagi's old tactic! Trading in a new Pokémon to battle!"
What an arrogant act!
Anyone could see that Kashiwagi wanted to defeat all of Leon's Pokémon in one-on-one battles, ultimately achieving a perfect victory.
Just like his behavior when he rode Rayquaza upon his debut, it was incredibly flamboyant!
In his previous life, Leon's fans would likely have already started cursing and even given Kashiwagi derogatory nicknames. But people in the Pokémon world are generally well-mannered, and even though Kashiwagi went to such lengths, they only clamored for Leon to teach this brat a lesson.
Let him see who the undefeated world champion really is!
boom!
The crisp sound of the Poké Ball being activated.
A pink figure appeared in the arena, and the Lucky Egg appeared on the big screen with a heartwarming smile.
The gentle charm, so different from Mawile and Shiny Milotic, made Nurse Joy's blood boil as the world watched the battle. Some were filled with tension and anticipation, while others cheered for Cheshire Egg directly from behind their screens.
The Blissey nurses kept their eyes glued to the screen until another trainer brought in an injured Pokémon, at which point they reluctantly left.
Pokémon centers around the world are bustling with activity.
As soon as the Lucky Egg appeared, Leon quickly issued an order.
"Run! Snipe!"
"Li oh!"
The Thousand-Faced Avoid moved its legs quickly, its body moving ghostly and nimbly as it approached the Lucky Egg. Just before it was about to reach it, it slid to the side, and clear water rippled inexplicably beneath its feet, making its side slide even smoother.
At the same time, it raised its arms, with its index finger in the shape of a gun barrel, and the high-pressure water flow immediately gathered and compressed into two clear water droplets in front of its fingertips.
【Sniper】, a Water-type special attack move that ignores some status effects such as Switch and Attack, and is guaranteed to hit the opponent, with a higher probability of hitting a critical point than other skills!
"Rapid fire!"
Whoosh whoosh!
As Dan-di finished speaking, Thousand Faces Avoid suddenly unleashed a burst of energy from its fingertips, sending a water bullet shooting out in a straight line, transforming into a sharp needle that pierced the air!
These water bullets have a firing rate no less than that of real bullets, and they are completely invisible to the naked eye. You can only barely see the wet trails they leave as they lengthen.
The shrieking sound continued, and the water bullets headed straight for the Happy Egg.
Furthermore, the high-speed movement of the Thousand Faces Beast creates a multi-directional attack effect!
However, the reaction of the lucky egg was not to be underestimated. The moment the thousand-faced angel raised its hand, a spherical light shield composed of multiple hexagonal prisms suddenly appeared!
Hold on!
Bang bang bang!
Dense sniper water bullets struck the surface of the light shield one after another, producing a continuous series of crisp collision sounds, and instantly bursting into fine water droplets.
The light shield trembled violently, yet remained exceptionally sturdy. It seemed that it could easily defend against not only the Thousand Faces' continuous fire in a short period of time, but even if it were used to the extent of a Gatling gun!
"So sturdy! Even the Thousand Faces Escaper's sniping can't get an inch in!"
The host exclaimed, "The Lucky Egg's incredible defense saved it from this fierce attack!"
The voice just fell.
The Thousand Faces Leaps into the air, spreading its wing membranes and using the wind to retreat backward. Clearly, its explosive attack has been exhausted, and it must quickly create distance to prevent the Happy Egg from taking advantage of the situation to attack it.
However, when the protective light shield dissipated, the Blissey did not attack.
Kashiwagi: "It's a sunny day."
"Happy~"
The lucky egg held its hands to its chest and chirped melodiously as if in prayer. The blazing sun overhead seemed to hear its call and cast an even stronger "gaze" upon this area.
The water droplets generated by the sniper shot evaporated in a very short time, turning into a hazy white vapor that drifted into the air.
Immediately afterwards, the air inside the arena seemed to begin to tremble and distort.
The protective devices were not activated, but the audience could feel the surroundings becoming unbearably hot, as if they had jumped from early spring to the summer solstice.
"Climate change! The sunny weather is quite powerful for the Lucky Egg!" The host wiped his sweat as the automatic air conditioning in the commentary room sensed the abnormal temperature change and quickly started.
The audience gradually realized that something was wrong.
They could usually see the audience on the other side clearly, but now the audience on the other side was as dark as if the lights had been turned off.
Because the venue was too bright!
It's frighteningly bright!
Is this truly a Sunny Day created by a Normal-type Pokémon, or some kind of End of the World created by an ancient Pokémon?
Ash almost took off his baseball cap, and Pikachu was so hot that it lay sprawled out in a puddle.
Hep took off his coat, his Adam's apple bobbing.
Inside the venue.
Dan Di felt this more deeply than the people outside. He suddenly felt glad that he had taken off his cloak in advance, otherwise he might have suffered from heatstroke.
"It seems... you're no longer fit to fight!"
Without hesitation, he decisively took out a Poké Ball and swapped Inteleon with Inteleon.
He wasn't stupid to fight the Lucky Egg under the blazing sun.
Kashiwagi and Lucky Egg watched this scene without intervening, as it was too late anyway. Thousand Faces had run far enough away, probably only two or three meters from Leon, and Pink Egg didn't have any skills to quickly lock it down.
"Leon is trading Pokémon! Will he choose a Fire-type Charizard?" the announcer shouted.
Dante throws the ball forward.
boom!
A white light flashed.
The Pokémon that appeared on the field was Aegislash, which inserted its body into its shield.
"Aegislash! Leon's third Pokémon, the Steel/Ghost type Aegislash!"
The host exclaimed, "The match has only just begun, and Leon has already revealed three Pokémon. Will Kashiwagi switch them out?"
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Kashiwagi answered everyone with a scooping motion.
One hand recalls them, the other releases them.
boom!
"唝!"
A colossal Steelix has arrived!
The vastness of the palace arena allows it to display its enormous size without any restraint!
Host: "Steel against steel! Contestant Kashiwagi has sent out Steelix, which is also a Steel-type Serpent, to counter this!"
"Trying to use your tough body to withstand the sharpness of the Aegislash monster?"
Dan Di smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try! Holy Sword!"
"Gato!"
A sharp glint flashed in the Shielded Sword Monster's single eye, and its broad sword suddenly broke free from the round shield, gripped by its ribbon arms on either side.
It rapidly approached the colossal Steel Serpent, its golden sword standing tall, pouring in immense fighting energy that instantly coalesced into a sword beam over ten meters high!
hum!
The golden greatsword swept across the sky, exuding a heavy, oppressive aura, and suddenly slashed at the side of the giant steel snake!
Judging from its trajectory, Aegislash was clearly heading towards the gaps in the skeleton of Steelix, which is undoubtedly one of the few "weak points" under the latter's hard body.
But how could cypress wood grant its wish?
"Dance of the Dragon".
"唝!"
The giant steel snake was enveloped in brilliant dragon flames, which swirled around its body. Its massive head quickly shifted to face the golden blade that was slashing down at it.
bass!
Sword energy soared into the sky!
The golden sword light seemed to have sliced the head of the colossal steel serpent vertically in two. The sword light traveled through its body and back for a long distance, cutting a deep fissure in the ground like a hideous scar.
Thick smoke and dust exploded with a roar, and a strong wind swept it away, causing it to ripple in all directions.
This strike perfectly showcased Aegislash's attack power, much like Inteleon's previous sniping attack. Any other Pokémon might not have been able to withstand it.
But this move is ineffective against Steelix—
superficial!
"Roar!"
A flash of orange-yellow light appeared amidst the billowing smoke and dust. As the sun shone brightly, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the massive Steel Serpent's hairs...
Oh no, its metal surface still has a shallow scar, only a few millimeters deep.
It's like someone used a file to leave some marks on its smooth surface.
As for cutting it in half, that's utter nonsense!
Kashiwagi: "100,000 horsepower."
"Roar!"
Steelix, like a roaring high-speed train, pierced through the field from side to side with its massive body. Its head, as large as a small house, burst through the air under the glow of yellowish-brown light, creating a deafening sonic boom as it instantly charged towards Aegislash!
"King's Shield!"
Boom—!!
The light shield composed of countless hexagons shattered like glass instantly upon being struck by the yellowish-brown light. Then, Steelix crashed headfirst into the round shield that Aegislash was holding in front of it, causing the Pokémon, which was suspended in mid-air, to be sent flying backward, releasing a powerful shockwave!
Ouch!
The shockwave exploded outwards, and the Aegislash rammed into the ground outside the arena like an arrow, creating a terrible collapse!
