Chapter 1431 The Earth Dragon's Last Song
"Here it comes! Pikachu!"
With a shout from Ash, Pikachu in mid-air caught the baseball cap he threw and put it on its head with a big smile.
"Skin--"
"Lightning speed!"
Cynthia suddenly spoke, and the Super Lucario Z moved like lightning, its Aura attached to its leg muscles, unleashing a full-force sprint!
bass!
A blinding white light flashed through the air, suddenly soaring from the uneven ground into the air, tracing a straight trajectory to arrive in front of Pikachu, and delivering a punch at a speed that the latter could not react to at all!
Even when exhausted, Mega Lucario Z still managed to unleash such terrifying power, which truly shocked Ash.
Pikachu's reaction was quick; after a brief moment of shock, it grabbed the baseball cap with its claws, twisted its body, and used its tail to block the punch from Mega Lucario Z.
Bang!
The fist grazed the fur and struck the tail with a dull thud, forcing Pikachu to crash to the ground, its small body creating a shallow crater in the sand.
The host exclaimed, "Cynthia interrupted Ash's Z-Move!"
Actively interrupting the opponent's use of the system is quite rare in the arena, and it is also related to Ash's slow reaction time.
The wind-up animation of Zygarde is still too long. It requires both a hat and a punch, and if the opponent is even slightly faster, it can be interrupted directly.
Unfortunately, these prerequisites are also difficult to omit.
Z-Moves emphasize the natural communication and cooperation between the trainer and the Pokémon, with the related actions serving as a necessary procedure.
Given the immense power of Zygarde's Z-Move, a slight wind-up is to be expected.
"Skin!"
The Pikachu, which had fallen to the ground, was in pain, but quickly got up to prepare to use its Z-Move again. However, it was a little far from Ash, and its baseball cap had been lost and had drifted to Ash's side in the wind.
Not far away, Mega Lucario Z once again lunged forward, pressing close to Pikachu as it tried to find its baseball cap.
Bamboo Orchid: "Unleash your power!"
Ash: "Iron Tail!"
When Mega Lucario Z raises its claws, the aura flows and converges both inside and outside its body, forming a visible brownish-red shockwave as Pikachu swings its metal tail and turns to slash!
Bang!
The impact of the clashing moves exploded, and Pikachu was once again sent flying backward. This time, it was even further away from Ash. Clearly, the close-range attack of Mega Lucario Z was designed to create distance between Pikachu and Ash.
"Ow!"
The Super Lucario Z, which was also thrown back by the recoil, suddenly stood up and stared at its opponent.
Bamboo Orchid: "Wave Missile!"
A massive wave missile rapidly condensed between its claws. Its super evolution made its waveguide and energy virtually inexhaustible, remaining abundant even after such a fierce battle.
In comparison, its physical condition is not very good.
The lower ribs, which had been attacked by Farfetch'd, were throbbing with pain, and Mega Lucario Z knew all too well that time was running out for it.
rumble!
The missile tumbled and spun, with airflow carrying dust and smoke swirling around it, before it was forcefully hurled at Pikachu!
Its power was still considerable, but Ash keenly sensed that Mega Lucario Z was not in good condition, so he simply gave up on using Z-Moves.
Why not give it a shot!
"Pikachu! Use your full power! Thunderbolt!"
Even without using millions of volts, Pikachu's attacks are still incredibly powerful!
"Pikachu—"
Pikachu leaped up, lightly patted the electric sacs on both sides of its cheeks, and ultra-high-voltage golden lightning instantly erupted out, "Chirp!!"
Sizzle—!
A beam of electricity thicker and more violent than ever before blasted straight at the Aura Sphere hurled by Super Lucario Z!
In an instant.
Golden lightning collided with azure wave missiles. The latter, like a withered lightning hand, suddenly gripped the massive wave missile, causing it to tremble violently as if it were a caged beast!
buzzing-
Go, Pikachu!
Ash shouted loudly, and Pikachu's electrical output suddenly increased at that moment. The 100,000 volts suddenly expanded and completely engulfed the Aura Sphere in the blink of an eye!
In the wide eyes of Mega Lucario Z, the Aura Sphere shattered into countless azure fragments, while the lightning bolt, without any obstruction, hurtled straight towards Lucario!
"Ow—"
Super Lucario Z crossed its arms in front of it, and the next moment, lightning struck its torso precisely, unleashing a surge of violent electrical energy throughout its body.
As if struck by lightning, it flew backward uncontrollably, its back slamming heavily onto the sand, convulsing wildly as it was eroded by the lightning.
Cynthia shouted, "Lucario!"
"A flash of lightning!"
Ash continued shouting, and Pikachu charged forward without hesitation. Taking advantage of the severe slump caused by the electric shock of Mega Lucario Z, it approached at top speed and crashed headfirst into its chest!
Boom!
Smoke and dust billowed up!
Zhu Lan's tense brows slowly relaxed, "..."
The condition of Super Lucario Z is still too poor. Originally, even if we couldn't defeat Pikachu, it would be best to deplete its stamina as much as possible.
—Some of it was consumed.
Perhaps it should be made to withstand Pikachu's Z-Move?
But if it's ten million volts...
In Cynthia's view, unless Pikachu's 100 Million Volts can damage Ground-type Pokémon, there is no need to be too wary.
As for Z-Moves other than Mega Volt, Cynthia is confident that Garchomp can withstand them.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
Deng Pei entered the arena and, seeing Lucario revert to its original form, immediately declared, "Lucario is unable to battle! Pikachu wins!"
Wow!
Applause erupted!
"Pikachu has successfully defeated its opponent! The match has truly entered its final stage!"
The host shouted, "The final battle between Garchomp and Pikachu! Who will emerge victorious?"
The audience was abuzz with discussion and noise.
In the final match, Garchomp, a Ground/Dragon type, faced Pikachu, a single Electric type. Based on their types alone, it was clear that the latter would lose.
But is a battle ever such a simple thing?
Prematurely deciding is like popping champagne halfway through the game!
"A reverse type? It's time for Pikachu to shine!"
Kashiwagi laughed heartily.
Calyrex remained expressionless. With the battle progressing to this point, it no longer unilaterally supported Cynthia, and even harbored a faint expectation for Pikachu.
Will we win?
We will win!
Ash clenched his fists on the field, put his baseball cap back on, and stared intently at the other side.
Pikachu is on high alert, ready to face a formidable foe.
Cynthia recalled Lucario, saying, "You did a great job, Lucario."
Cynthia doesn't regret entrusting the crucial Mega Evolution to it; it's just that Ash's Pokémon are stronger than she expected, which led to the current situation.
but.
It's not over yet!
She still holds an ace in her hand!
"Dance through the skies, Garchomp!"
The Poké Ball soared high into the air, and Garchomp reappeared from within. Although it had been battling Sirfetch'd for a long time, it was still in good condition.
It's as if it possesses the [Regeneration] trait, allowing it to enjoy a taste of freshness after leaving the field.
Zhu Lan decisively gave the order: "Earthquake!"
Ash: "Jump up and dodge!"
"Crack!"
Garchomp slammed its feet into the ground, causing the already cratered earth to churn violently. The yellowish-brown shockwave reverberated within the crater and hurtled towards Pikachu.
In response, Pikachu leaped up at an incredible speed and landed on a pile of rubble at the edge of the arena.
Due to the large curvature of the arena, the energy shockwave failed to reach Pikachu and was easily dodged.
Smoke and dust rose and then slowly dispersed.
Garchomp raised its head and stared at Pikachu, who was standing "high up".
The host exclaimed, "The damage to the site is too severe! The earthquake didn't dissipate properly!"
As it says, the earthquakes released by Pokémon are not real earthquakes, but a mixture of vibrations and energy shockwaves, which limits their attack paths.
Zhu Lan wasn't too surprised by this and continued, "Scales Shoot!"
"Crack!"
Garchomp's body gleamed with a dazzling light, and countless sharp purple-silver scales shot out, pouring down like a torrential rain with their fierce edge!
Whoosh whoosh!
The scales sliced through the air with a sharp, piercing sound, like countless sharp knives cutting towards Pikachu's body.
Each energy dragon scale contained powerful energy fluctuations, moving at extremely high speeds, almost covering the entire space around Pikachu.
"A flash of lightning! Get out of the way!"
Xiao Zhi shouted from not far away.
"Skin!"
Pikachu responded immediately, its body enveloped in dazzling white light, transforming into a streak of golden lightning.
Its speed was too fast for the naked eye to follow, and it nimbly maneuvered through the dense rain of scale-like projectiles, dodging left and right to avoid most of the attacks.
Bang bang bang bang!
The scales that missed their mark landed on the sand, kicking up a large amount of dust, making Pikachu look as if it had crossed a battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, it broke through the scales' blockade with lightning speed and approached Garchomp, coming face to face with it.
"Dragon Claw!"
"Iron Tail!"
Both sides gave decisive instructions.
Garchomp roared, its sharp claws and fins enveloped in dense dragonfire, forming a scythe-like shape that gleamed with a chilling light, and with ferocious force, it slashed fiercely at Pikachu.
The wind was so fierce that it seemed as if the air had been ripped open by a clear claw mark.
Pikachu was not intimidated at all. It leaped into the air, its tail covered in a silvery-white steel light. Using the momentum of its fall, the steel-like tail, with a sharp whooshing sound, struck at Garchomp's dragon claw.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Pikachu has only one tail, while Garchomp has two fin blades, yet they were evenly matched, fighting to a standstill!
The audience erupted in uproar.
Considering that Pikachu just went through a fierce battle with Mega Lucario Z, how can it still have such abundant stamina and reflexes?
Kashiwagi smiled without saying a word. Only he knew that if Ash sent Pikachu out last and it wasn't defeated beforehand, then Pikachu could at least fight the opponent to a draw, or even win!
Even the legendary Pokémon Latios couldn't escape the fate of being replaced by Pikachu!
"Pickup!"
"Crack!"
The two Pokémon roared, their metal tail blades colliding violently with their dragon flame fin blades. Amidst the howling wind, silver and blue light alternated, tearing through the air to create a terrifying explosion that sent both Pokémon flying!
rumble!
A massive cloud of smoke rose slowly, and the crater in the ground was so devastating that it was unbearable to look at; it was only a matter of time before it completely collapsed.
"Meteor shower!"
"Crack!"
Garchomp raised its head, and the blue-green dragon flames gathered in front of its mouth, turning into purplish-red. Then it suddenly spewed them into the air and exploded, turning into countless shooting stars burning with purplish-red flames!
Whoosh whoosh—
Like a torrential downpour, purplish-red meteors, carrying intense heat, crashed down with the force to cover the entire field, their dazzling brilliance captivating all who beheld them.
Ash shouted, "Quick Shot! Jump over the meteor shower!"
"Skin!"
Facing the meteor shower flying towards it, Pikachu fearlessly leaped up, successfully landing on top of it, and used it as a springboard to continuously approach Garchomp.
The host exclaimed in surprise, "What?! Pikachu actually stepped on a meteor shower!"
Bamboo orchids are used to this.
Ash used a similar technique in the last round, so what's so strange about using it again in this round?
"Continue using meteor shower!"
She shouted.
Therefore, our side has already prepared a countermeasure!
"Crack!!"
Garchomp roared loudly, and Dragonfire gathered again in front of its mouth. Despite having its Special Attack reduced once, the Dragonfire Ball was even more concentrated and larger than before, and then turned into an enormous fireball that flew straight into the sky!
boom!
The fireball exploded, and even more meteors shot down, so densely packed that Pikachu couldn't keep up. Even though it used the meteors as stepping stones, it still had to deal with three or four meteors at the same time while leaping!
"Skin--"
"100,000 Volts Spin! Use Counter Shield!"
Ash shouted loudly, instantly giving the startled Pikachu a solution.
It curled up, its electric sacs on both sides of its cheeks flashing with electricity, and then it spewed out a large amount of golden lightning. As it swirled, it formed a self-imposed cage, blasting all the approaching meteors to pieces!
Boom boom boom—
The meteor shower transformed into a sky full of fiery fragments, as dazzling as fireworks, filling the entire area of the field.
Countless viewers were left in awe.
The host exclaimed, "Xiao Zhi's Pikachu skills are truly amazing!"
It's amazing that they were able to deal with Garchomp's double meteor shower in this way.
In the end, Pikachu successfully extinguished the meteor shower with its Thunderbolt Counter Shield.
The arena was filled with lingering dust, obscuring the view of both sides.
The double meteor shower was blocked, but Zhu Lan's expression remained calm, as if she had already foreseen this scene.
After a short while, most of the dust and smoke dissipated, and she looked at Pikachu in the pit. Seeing that it was panting heavily and exhausted, she smiled with satisfaction.
"Now's the time! Garchomp! 100,000 horsepower!"
"Crack!"
A roar came from above!
The audience was surprised to find that Garchomp had somehow reached a high place and was looking down at Pikachu in the pit, as if it had spotted its prey.
Like a runaway behemoth, it possessed earth-shattering power, enveloping itself in a yellowish-brown aura as it plummeted downwards!
The wind pressure swept across the entire venue, compressing even the air and causing it to emit a muffled hum!
This attack brought together all of Garchomp's power, reaching its peak in both speed and force, completely sealing off Pikachu's escape routes and giving it no chance to breathe.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is exhausted, we attack!
It's time to take down this opponent!
After a brief moment of shock, Ash silently replaced the Crystal on his Z-Ring and shouted, "Pikachu! Don't lose to him! Let's go together!"
"Pickup!"
The light of Z energy illuminates the site!
