Chapter 1188 The Bird of Perseverance
"Unmatched power! The champion easily defeated Bartholomew's second Pokémon!"
The narrator's voice was passionate.
In the VIP room, Minoru Yama squinted and gently stroked the head of the Psychic Cat with his right hand.
"Meow?"
"Yeah, this newly caught Pokémon is getting more and more outrageous," he sighed.
Comparing yourself to others can be incredibly frustrating.
Even though his mindset was different from before, seeing Ji Zhiji's performance at this moment still made him feel somewhat powerless.
If Minoru Yamamoto remembers correctly, Kashiwagi had only brought these three Pokémon back a few months ago.
Even if they are naturally stronger, it takes a long time to get used to them, let alone fight against Bartholomew!
Don't be fooled by how easily Kashiwagi defeated Bartlas. If he were to face Bartlas, he would probably be the one with two and a half Pokémon defeated by now.
Minoru Yama shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, and continued watching the game.
Similar thoughts emerged in the minds of powerful trainers throughout the venue and around the world.
The collective reflections of the Four Heavenly Kings brought this Champion Alliance to a great deal of attention. Whether or not someone had ever fought against Kashiwagi, they would watch the live stream on their phones whenever they had free time.
Even Xiaozhi, who barely pays attention to the internet.
He received the relevant information from Professor Sakuragi and watched it with great interest alongside Pikachu.
The three Pokémon he had never heard of—Goblin, Wishbear, and Chinchilla—successfully piqued his curiosity, but unfortunately, the information his Rotom phone could find was limited to the Pokémon legends of Kitakami Township.
—The official Orei League does have some related information uploaded by Poké Balls, but it has long been blocked by Minoru Yama's orders, and many league leaders do not have permission to view it.
Discussions about the attributes of Baoban have begun online.
Countless people tagged Professor Oak, hoping that this elderly man who established the rules for classifying Pokémon types could answer their questions.
Unfortunately, by the time Professor Oak saw the message, the Orei Championship League had already ended.
Even so, Professor Oak's subsequent series of educational videos easily topped the Pokémon Sound trending list, even overshadowing the Orei Champion League itself.
This is enough to show how extraordinary this old man's social status was.
Let's go back to the final match.
Amidst the sandstorm raging across the competition field, the kiwi flapped its vibrant wings and flew close to the edge of the field back to the Kashiwa side.
While the sandstorms in the animation don't actually cause percentage-based health reduction, getting them on your skin or in your mouth is still quite uncomfortable.
"Goo~"
It tilted its head and hummed softly, as if seeking credit.
Kashiwagi praised without hesitation, "Well done! Keep it up!"
"Goo!"
Jizhi Chicken immediately showed a satisfied expression.
Once upon a time, the treasure companions were either weak, stupid, or ugly, and their intense inferiority complex made them yearn to change themselves.
Therefore, when Peach Blossom grants them what they desire, it is only natural that they become devoted to him.
Today, they have long since changed on their own, but deep down they still harbor a desire for recognition and respect.
Bai Mu was recognized by Bao Ban in every way, and his praise naturally became something Bao Ban longed for.
come quickly!
It can't wait!
Jiji looked intently at Bartras, who had retrieved the Scorpion King.
"..."
Master Shan is adjusting his emotions.
It's no wonder that Gadriya lost her composure; anyone would find it difficult to remain calm when facing an opponent like Kashiwagi.
He thought for a moment and sent out his next Pokémon.
boom!
"No!"
The giant metal monster, resembling a metal crab, made its appearance. Its heavy body completely ignored the roaring sandstorm and remained as stable as a green mountain.
The cheetah tilted its head and clucked.
It remembered watching a battle video of this Pokémon and Blissey a couple of days ago, in which Metagross could transform.
Will this guy change?
A sense of alertness rose in the heart of the pheasant.
"provocative!"
"Goo~"
It laughed incessantly, the piercing noise penetrating the wind and sand and reaching its opponent's ears, igniting its fury.
Barthus had barely opened his mouth when Metagross was already hit.
"No!!"
The enraged Metagross was shrouded in dark light.
This is because Baoban's mastery of the advanced techniques of [Provocation] is effortless, and his talent is so outstanding that even Kashiwagi was surprised.
"Strong mental thoughts!"
hum!
A pale blue light quickly covered the dark light, and an invisible spiritual force, like a large net, pounced on the jiji chicken in mid-air.
"Goo?"
The pheasant blinked its large, watery eyes, sensing the situation through the scattered sand and dust in front of it.
Just as it was about to make a move, it suddenly remembered Cypress's warning—
'Obey all orders.'
This made the pheasant instinctively want to turn its head away.
"A flash of lightning! Quick!" Bai Mu's voice came simultaneously, causing its gaze to narrow slightly.
At the critical moment, the cheetah vigorously flapped its brightly colored wings.
call!
Just as it was about to be locked on, it transformed into a bright white light and shot straight into the sky, smashing through the curtain of sand and dust in the sky!
"No!"
Metagross's eyes widened, and to maintain the extension of its spiritual power, it transformed into a giant hand that followed closely behind.
However, the gibbons' flying ability was so agile and unpredictable, sometimes going up, sometimes down, sometimes left, sometimes right, and in their twists and turns, they were so elusive that even spiritual power could not touch them.
Just when everyone thought that Jiji had successfully dodged, the swirling sandstorm suddenly exploded!
Bang!
Then, as if time had been frozen, the rooster suddenly froze in mid-air.
A thin blue light appeared on its surface.
got caught!
Countless viewers were shocked, and the commentator exclaimed, "The Chinchilla is unable to move! Using mental powers has rendered it incapable of action!"
next moment.
The pheasant plummeted from the sky at an extremely high speed!
Boom!
The earth trembled!
The towering plumes of smoke and dust symbolized the formidable power of this attack.
Bartras continued shouting, "Mind Hammer!"
He firmly believes that even though Jijiro is a Poison-type Pokémon, it will not be defeated by a single move that is super effective against its type.
This has already been proven in Gouzangou.
His flying skin's self-sacrificing ramming attack is currently his strongest attack move, but it failed to take down the seemingly fighting-type "Good Dog"—
Its extraordinary durability is reminiscent of cypress wood.
"No!"
The Metagross charged headlong into the sandstorm, its concentrated spiritual power enveloping the X-shaped steel bar on its face and extending forward, transforming into a ram-like shape.
Call ~
The flying sand and smoke were dispersed by its massive body, forming a circle that expanded rapidly outward.
However, there was only a shallow pit not far away, and the jiji chicken that had been smashed down by the mental force had vanished without a trace.
"Behind you!"
Bartras's voice came immediately.
Metagross decisively raised its hind legs and then plummeted downwards, like a backflip, causing its heavy body to tilt backwards!
"No!"
"Goo~"
The two Pokémon locked eyes in an instant.
The sinister Jiji chicken emitted strange sounds from its beak, as the Megalomon pressed down on it like a collapsing mountain.
Boom!
Smoke and dust rose again.
The sandstorm that had been swirling around the stadium gradually subsided, and the audience looked down with curiosity.
"Yichiro couldn't dodge Metagross's attack. Can Bartras break Kashiwagi's shutout record?!"
The commentator shouted.
Although the Divine Pillars lost their fighting ability several times due to the Great Explosion, many people do not consider this to be the opponent's achievement.
They hoped to see someone defeat Kashiwagi's Pokémon head-on, even if it was just one.
Does Bartras have a chance to be the first?
Countless gazes were fixed on the scene. The giant golden monster, lying on its back, suddenly moved, and its body suddenly lit up with an orange-red light.
Ok?
The audience was stunned.
The commentator shouted, "It's a flattery! Jijiro used flattery on Metagross! Metagross is currently in a confused state!"
Bartlasby reacted quickly, swiftly grabbing the Poké Ball. "Metamorphose! Quick—"
However, his reaction was still inferior to that of Kashiwagi, who had been plotting for a long time.
"Hot air!"
Along with this command appeared Metagross, which suddenly began to go berserk.
It suddenly flipped over, rolling away into the distance like an irregular spinning top, while sparks of crimson heat followed.
boom!
Flames blazed across the arena!
The source was none other than the Jijiro, which was covered in dust but didn't care about its appearance. It flapped its wings with all its might, causing even more heat waves to bake the Metagross in the chaos.
The Poké Ball's recovery beam couldn't get close at all, interrupted by the heatwave, leaving Barthus helplessly watching as Jichick roasted the metal crab.
"Wake up!"
He shouted, "Strengthen your willpower! Stabilize your resolve!"
A glimmer of clarity flashed in the Metagross's bewildered eyes, before it quickly returned to its confused state.
Its durability is quite remarkable; it has not fallen down even after being scorched by the sun.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Jijiro's special attack is still slightly inferior even after being hit by Nasty Plot, and that its less-than-optimistic condition is holding it back.
"Cuckoo!"
Jiji forced itself to hold on and flapped its wings like a real rooster as it flew toward Metagross.
Kashiwagi: "Shadow Ball!"
A huge, dark purple energy ball rapidly formed in front of it, striking Metagross's back even before Bartholomew's recovery beam could strike!
Ouch!
The dark purple light mixed with smoke and dust blew away the red recovery beam!
Bartras: "..."
He reluctantly put down the Poké Ball.
It was so close! So close!
Bartlas firmly believes that if Metagross is given another chance to make a move, Jiji will surely be defeated.
Don't underestimate the power of just being the first one; he believes the situation is like a domino effect, where one falling will inevitably lead to the others.
This applies to both sides!
Inside the stadium, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Once the referee confirmed the information was correct, he raised his flag and shouted, "Metamorphose is unable to battle! Chinchilla wins! The match continues!"
Unlike the three-game losing streak in the conference, the championship league is all about playing it out from start to finish.
Therefore, it places extremely high demands on the trainer's physical strength.
However, it would be abnormal for someone who is one of the Four Heavenly Kings and a champion not to have this kind of stamina.
On the big screen, the three Pokémon below Bartholomew's portrait are dimmed, while the remaining two Pokémon are intact, and a Salamence is severely damaged.
After a moment's thought, he threw it out of the Poké Ball.
boom!
"Roar!"
The enormous mane-covered giant ape entered, letting out a deep, muffled roar before lying down on its side and lazily scratching its belly.
Without hesitation, Bartras shouted, "Final Impact!"
"Roar!"
Upon hearing this, Wang's eyes brightened slightly, and he suddenly stood up, charging forward with a ferocity completely unlike his previous demeanor!
at the same time.
The pheasant squatted on the ground, and countless white feathers fell onto its body, creating layers of shimmering green light.
[Feather Qi].
Mega Salamence had no chance to use the move it used during the Battle of the Titans.
Faced with the Slaking bathed in brilliant, blazing white light, it resolutely obeyed Kashiwagi's command, ending its half-finished recovery move and flapping its wings to fly into the sky!
Boom!
A loud bang was heard from below.
Jiji turned his head and saw that it was Slaking who had stomped on the ground, creating terrifying spiderweb-shaped cracks, before leaping high and chasing after him!
Bright, radiant energy surrounded its body, forming a huge spherical ball of light, like a missile!
fast!
very fast!
The chick almost failed to accurately execute Kashiwagi's commands.
Fortunately, the latter's calculations were accurate enough to allow it to raise the luminous blue light shield just half a second earlier.
Ouch!
The immense impact caused the light shield to shatter and cave inward, but it never exploded directly.
Wang Wei was stunned when he saw the final impact of the attack hitting the flapping wing of the Jizhi Chicken!
Bang!
Smoke and dust spread in mid-air.
Two figures plummeted rapidly, but compared to the heavy thud of the King of Sickness hitting the ground, the Jiji Chicken managed to take off again less than half a meter from the ground by frantically flapping its wings.
It then slowly descended.
"Gu..."
Despite the fact that the chicken had lost some of the injuries from the fall, it still maintained a sturdy posture, even though its face looked extremely pale.
The desire to take responsibility for the leader and the desire to be respected by Kashiwagi made Yoshichi unwilling to fall down no matter how many injuries he suffered.
It is not as strong as a dog, nor as intelligent as a monkey; its magnificent feathers and free wings are its few treasures.
However, even if the feathers become dirty and ugly, even if the wings are broken and it cannot take off.
It's still standing!
It will persevere to the very last moment!
"Gu!!"
The pheasant crowed loudly, signaling to Kashiwagi to give it instructions.
It can still hold on; there's no need to replace it until it defeats Slaking and completes its mission!
It made a pact with its two other partners to take down two Pokémon each, preventing Momonga from having a chance to enter the battle.
Having only defeated two so far, Slaking will be its third—
"come back."
The red light grabbed Jiji's body and brought it back into the Poké Ball in Kashiwagi's hand.
Looking at the Poké Ball shaking violently, he said, "Don't be silly. You're a team. There's no need to fight alone."
Kashiwagi fully understood Yoshichi's feelings and its determination.
As a trainer who respects the will of Pokémon the most, he will grant Chinchilla's wish.
"Go!"
boom!
"Ouch!"
The dog landed, looked at Slaking who was unable to move due to the Giga Impact and was also affected by the Sloth ability, and roared as it charged towards him.
Its right fist glowed with a reddish-brown light and slammed heavily into Slaking's chin!
Boom!
Brute force!
The burst of energy was visible to the naked eye, causing the massive body of the Defender to be moved backward several meters!
