Chapter 1279 Shiny Gyarados
"Golden TV! Golden TV!"
"Welcome to Quartz Plateau, our long-awaited viewers! This is the Alliance Grand Arena!"
The TV host passionately announced, "After nearly a week of waiting, we finally welcome the highly anticipated Pokémon World Championships: Master Ball Battles!"
Hua la la la——
The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.
"The two sides in this match are the soul of our Kanto and Johto kingdoms! The invincible Dragon Messenger, Wataru!"
A-Du entered the venue to the strains of a grand symphony, his black cloak with red lining fluttering in the wind, his dashing figure eliciting screams from countless fans.
"And from the distant Orei, the legendary trainer who has repeatedly astonished everyone in the past year, wielding legendary power! Kashiwagi!"
Kashiwagi slowly appeared, his signature lava outfit paired with his cool and handsome appearance, making the fans' shouts equal to those of A-Du's fans.
The two raised their hands to greet the surrounding audience until they reached the trainers' seats, where they faced each other in the nearly seventy-meter-long arena.
It's a very unfortunate thing.
Kashiwagi and Watari's pre-match conversation was limited to the time they spent riding the elevator down together after leaving the room.
And because of the presence of Kanto Alliance staff, the two sides only exchanged a greeting.
What a pity!
Awatari is undoubtedly also a childhood memory for Kashiwagi.
He played with the works that focused on the Kanto and Johto regions, such as red, blue, green, fiery red, leafy green, gold, silver, crystal, and heart gold, soul silver, and so on, over and over again.
A-wu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto and the champion of Johto, has fought time and time again.
If the opponent's setup is the same as in the game, then Kashiwagi has every reason to say that Watari is the champion he is most familiar with.
Unfortunately, things are often not that simple.
"A Super Dragonite, huh? That's something to look forward to!"
Kashiwagi held the Poké Ball, a kind of Mega Evolution he had never seen before, something that shouldn't exist.
He has been trying to gather relevant intelligence for the past two days, but to no avail.
Lance has never shown his Super Dragonite in public, as if what Ryza said before was just his illusion.
I hope to see it with my own eyes!
At this moment, Kashiwagi's mind was filled with ideas on how to force Wataru to use the Mega Evolution.
The Quartz Arena doesn't have Galarian particles, so it can't support the Dynamax system. If Lance hadn't mastered the third system, he would most likely have been able to see it!
However, now that Awatari has mastered this power, will Karune still have a chance to defeat him?
Let's win first!
Kashiwagi's eager gaze met Awa's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile faintly.
"A dragon tamer who rose to prominence unexpectedly, the Dragon King of Unova? I heard they almost became colleagues? What an extraordinary young talent! But..."
Adu tossed his cloak, his hair like dancing crimson dragon flames, "There can only be one strongest dragon tamer! And that is me!"
Professional referee Deng Pei entered the arena stepping on a shield-and-sword monster, raising his hands high to read the rules of the game.
"...A total of three Pokémon can be used. If all Pokémon on either side are unable to battle, the match is considered over..."
The area inside and outside the stadium gradually quieted down, and the overall atmosphere became solemn as the referee spoke.
In front of televisions, mobile phones, and even radios, dragon trainers around the world wait quietly, while noisy children or young dragons are forcibly restrained and given a beating in exchange for a few minutes of peace.
An abandoned mine somewhere in the Union.
With bandages wrapped all over her body, Higana sat on a rusty steel frame, huddled in a thick down jacket, watching the game with the help of her levitating phone.
Meanwhile, in a deep cave about a kilometer away from her, Kyurem grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Noisy human girl!"
A dozen or so geometric snowflakes swirled around it, seemingly trying to help their leader solve his problems.
Blueberry Academy Alliance Club Activity Room.
Du Ruo lay there lazily like a Ditto, with Wu Li, Na Li, Zi Yu and other champions and the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance Club next to her.
All eyes were fixed on the live broadcast from the Quartz Grand Hall projected onto the screen.
"Let's begin!"
Chishong was as anxious as an iron ant on a hot pan.
Du Ruo chuckled, "Wu Li, are you still willing to gamble?"
"Stay with me to the end!"
Wu Li replied coldly.
The alliance is improving as he changes, but Wu Li and Du Ruo's relationship is still not good.
One of them was particularly provocative, while the other found him annoying.
Moreover, the two have recently become fond of "gambling." The wager is that if Wu Li wins, Du Ruo must obediently listen to him for a day; if Du Ruo wins, Wu Li must bow and call him "senior" every time he meets him on a certain day.
Danyu gritted her teeth, "Du Ruo! What are you trying to do now!"
"Sister, don't worry about it."
Wu Li refused her older sister's participation, saying, "I still maintain my judgment—3:0!"
“Then I still think 3:2, with Kashiwagi winning by a narrow margin~” Du Ruo said with a grin.
This made Ziyu frown. "Why is your bet based on the premise that Adu will lose? I think Adu has a very good chance of winning!"
Akamatsu was stunned. "Senior Shiyu, are you a fan of A-Du?"
"Of course, I've even taken a photo with A-Du!"
Zi Yu proudly took out her phone and showed everyone the group photo.
The girl in the photo, Ziyu, is probably only six or seven years old, shyly posing for a photo with Adu, who looks quite young.
Nari said like a robot, "Foal City once hosted the Pokémon World Championships, and the champion at that time was Lance."
The Pokémon World Championships in Fanba City were held in the early days. Although there weren't as many participants as the World Championships held in Galar, they were still quite prestigious.
As the daughter of Boss Ju, who is a local bigwig in Fanba City, Ziyu naturally had the opportunity to take a photo with Adu.
Adu's heroic bearing left a deep impression on Ziyu.
Akamatsu looked at the photo and gritted his teeth inwardly.
Although he is a very easygoing person, he has a little secret that he can't tell anyone.
That is, he secretly loves Ziyu!
Originally, Akamatsu had no particular feelings towards Watari, but now Watari had become his number one enemy!
"I'll bet too! I'll bet on 3-0!"
He joined the betting without hesitation.
The others looked on in surprise. Wu Li frowned and asked, "Chi Song, what are you betting on?"
He meant to stay out of it, but Akamatsu misunderstood and thought he was being used as a bargaining chip in the game.
The boy shouted, "If I lose, I'll make you guys snacks for a week!"
Zi Yu clapped her hands with a smile, "This bet is pretty good, much healthier than those two people!"
She meant something.
Wu Li and Du Ruo pretended not to hear, and the former's brows relaxed. "Alright, count you in."
Du Ruo chuckled and said, "I want to eat pudding!"
He has already started ordering.
Even the usually serious Nari chimed in, "I'll just eat rice crackers."
Upon hearing this, the others in the activity room all announced what they wanted to eat, and the activity room instantly became a joyful and harmonious place.
Everyone forgot the unpleasantness of the past, and the Blueberry Academy Alliance Club returned to its original state.
Du Ruo smiled happily.
At the same time, Deng Pei read out the competition rules.
-
"Both trainers, please send out your first Pokémon!"
Deng Pei raised both hands.
In the quiet stadium, under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of people.
Two Poké Balls were thrown far into the field.
Boom!
The light flickers.
The petite and exquisite toy duck Porygon II makes its debut, while in the distance stands a Shiny Gyarados that is over ten meters long.
Its bright red body was coiled on the ground, its ferocious mouth open.
"Roar--!!"
The roar was like thunder, stirring the air and creating terrifying ripples that washed over Polygonus II's body.
hum~
A blue glow suddenly appeared, then quickly turned into an orange glow.
As soon as the Pokémon from both sides appeared, their abilities were quickly activated.
The Intimidate ability lowers Porygon II's Attack, but the Download ability makes up for it.
Shiny Gyarados's physical defense is weaker than its special defense, and it seems that Lance didn't specifically train its physical defense to be on par with its special defense.
Therefore, the change in the ability to receive feedback from download characteristics is a physical attack.
"The first Gyarados? Is it prepared for Hydreigon?"
Kashiwagi didn't know if Wataru had studied him, but it had to be said that Shiny Gyarados's intimidation was very powerful.
As we all know, the effectiveness of moves that lower an enemy's stats often depends on factors such as the move's proficiency, the opponent's Pokémon's level, and Willpower.
The intimidation from this shiny Gyarados was stronger than any of the intimidations Kashiwagi had encountered before.
The veteran champion is truly something else!
Deng Pei confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and his raised hands suddenly slipped down.
Both sides gave instructions as quickly as possible.
"Dance of Dragons!"
"Texture".
Upon hearing the sound, the Shiny Gyarados circled in place, its massive body unleashing dazzling crimson flames that continuously boosted its Attack and Speed.
Porygon II moved forward quickly, its body flashing from red and blue to black and yellow, its spindle-shaped tail transformed into a lightning bolt shape similar to Pikachu's, and lightning patterns appeared all over its body.
"Crack!"
A great start! We took down the Shiny Gyarados in one shot!
Polygon II aims to prove itself for all Polygons, letting the world know that Polygons can do more than just be intelligent assistants.
He's also good at fighting!
Clearly, with the booming sales of Porygon phones, Porygons that once only hoped for a trainer have become greedy, wanting to become the trainer's helper and gain more attention and affection.
Just as his opponent was getting close, ready to unleash a move that was four times more effective, A-Du remained completely calm.
"A Pokémon with ever-changing attributes? Interesting. Let me see what you're made of."
A-Du smiled slightly, "Water Flow Tail!"
"Discharge!"
When Porygon II and Shiny Gyarados were less than ten meters apart, they launched a fierce attack!
Noisy!
A surge of azure lightning, like a magnetic storm grenade, suddenly spread outwards from the center of the Porygon II, sweeping everything in its path.
Shiny Gyarados swung its thick, long tail, with clear water swirling around it, slamming the ground with a speed no less than that of Porygon II!
Bang!
The water surged skyward!
Amidst the astonished gazes of countless viewers, Shiny Gyarados's water tail surged and transformed into a curtain, blocking Porygon II's ferocious electric discharge.
The host exclaimed in surprise, "Wald used a water-based technique to block an electric-based technique! Unbelievable!"
"Snap..."
Polygon II was quite disappointing.
However, Shiny Gyarados's performance was not beyond its expectations.
It's worth noting that Lance's Gyarados used Water Tail to fight Leon's Charizard's Thunder Punch.
It would be unrealistic to think that it could defeat you with a single electrical discharge.
Furthermore, my energy level is lower than the opponent's...
Yes, based on the precise calculations of the power of the water jets just now, Porygon II can conclude that Shiny Gyarados's energy level is around level 83.
Polygon II sighed deeply.
Despite its superior attributes, it ultimately failed to live up to expectations and did not become a member of the level 90 army.
Pokémon facing established champions are inevitably at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the strong have their own way of playing, and the weak have their own way of playing!
A-Du: "Scale Shot!"
Kashiwagi: "Use sharp edges to dodge, then use trickery to strengthen yourself!"
Shiny Gyarados took the lead, its speed greatly enhanced by Dragon Dance, surpassing Porygon II in every aspect.
"roar~"
With a roar, its crimson skin glowed with a purplish-red light, and with a thud, countless fist-sized scales flew towards Polygon II!
Polygon II was enveloped in white light, instantly transforming into a sphere, and rapidly rolled on the spot to dodge the bombardment of purplish-red scales!
Boom boom boom!
Dragon flames burst forth, creating shallow pits in the arena.
The maximum number of shots in the game is five, but in the anime world, the number is comparable to that of an automatic rifle, and dozens of "cannonballs" can be fired in the blink of an eye.
"Such agile dodging ability! The ever-changing Polygon II!" the host exclaimed repeatedly.
Although Porygon became widely known because of the Porygon mobile phone, Porygon II is, after all, Kashiwagi's Pokémon, and naturally received a certain degree of attention as well.
The ever-changing nature of this technique is the world's intuitive reaction to its "angularity", "texture", and "texture 2".
Moreover, its performance in several matches remains a mystery to this day, leaving people unclear about exactly what moves and techniques it used.
A dark light appeared, and Porygon II's Special Attack was greatly increased.
Its "vision" covers the entire field, and through calculations of airflow, smoke, and attribute energy, it plans the best route to completely evade the scale beams.
To put it bluntly, unless a move that covers the entire field attacks it all at once, you can forget about hitting it with these scattered ranged attacks!
A-Du naturally noticed the strangeness of Porygon II and said, "In that case, let's go for something more intense! Storm!"
"Roar!"
Gyarados raised its upper body high, and the fins on its back emitted a sky-blue glow.
A pale white whirlwind coiled around its slender body, then roared outwards with a deafening cry!
【storm】!
Full-scale attack coverage!
"Hold."
Kashiwagi remained calm, his eyes fixed on Gyarados, searching for the best opportunity to attack.
There are differences in strength; the stronger the trainer, the harder it is to find their weakness.
A-Lv's instructions were quite tight, and Gyarados's attacks were extremely swift, making him hesitant to make any counter-attacks.
After several rounds, unable to find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, Kashiwagi took a deep breath.
Wait!
Everyone makes mistakes, and champions are no exception.
While ensuring that our side does not make any mistakes, we wait for A-du to expose himself, and then strike a fatal blow!
Rumble!
The raging wind that swept across the entire area whipped the cypress branches and completely engulfed Porygon II, leaving no trace.
For champions, covering the entire field with their moves is the simplest thing to do if they want to.
It's simply a matter of focusing your attacks when facing a powerful enemy, so that all the attribute energy can be accurately and completely applied to the opponent.
