Chapter 1210 The Dragon King's First Battle
Changing commanders at the last minute!
Ai Lan's brows furrowed for a moment, then quickly relaxed.
He knew this wasn't Kashiwagi's deliberate provocation, but rather the latter's battle habit—to evenly distribute the appearance opportunities of each Pokémon.
In a sense, the fact that they're willing to bring out Bosscodora already shows that they're taking it very seriously.
Have you ever seen Kashiwagi use his ace in his battles against so many Elite Four members and Gym Leaders?
"Prepare to share the pain!"
He shouted loudly, trying to make his voice carry into the sandstorm-swept area.
Extremely far away.
After a moment's thought, Kashiwa sent out a second one.
"唝~"
A dull metallic vibration suddenly echoed in the arena, and even the raging sandstorm could not cover up the loud buzzing and the opponent's massive body that was almost Dynamaxed.
The commentator shouted, "Steelcore! Kashiwagi's second Pokémon is a giant Steelix with an extraordinary size that once set a world record!"
There are many busybodies in the world who like to argue about who is better or worse.
Kashiwagi's fame has made him the focus of much attention, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's been commented on from beginning to end.
His Pokémon are more often in the spotlight.
For example, Gengar and Milotic with different colors, and Steelix with an unusually large size, attract just as much attention as other Pokémon.
In the audience, Manong and Halili seemed to be there, looking at the enormous creature within the sandstorm with a mixture of fear and wariness.
"It's alright! Steelix is a Steel-type! That will be advantageous for Alain and Briscaron!"
She was talking to herself.
Halili nodded seriously and continued to cheer for his final evolution.
inside the venue,
"Li ma!"
Bricaron crossed his arms and ran forward against the sandstorm, a faint film of light shining on his body.
It's trying to divide the existing physical strength of both sides equally!
However, while sandstorms can obscure the vision of humans and ordinary Pokémon, they absolutely cannot obscure Steelix.
It easily spotted Bricaron's actions, turned its head and exchanged a glance with Kashiwagi, and immediately let out a muffled roar in understanding, as the three thick horizontal steel bones at the top spun rapidly!
Whizzing--
In an instant.
The entire area was filled with swirling, turbulent sandstorms, which converged wildly on the location of the Steelix, as if there were a vacuum cleaner there.
As Bricaron approached, the already thick sandstorm swirled around the towering steel serpent, becoming even more impenetrable!
Bang!
It crashed heavily into the outer edge of the swirling sandstorm, but failed to break through it. Instead, it was thrown back by an inexplicable repulsive force!
"Li ma!"
It fell to the ground, its expression slightly bewildered.
As the surrounding dust was completely sucked away by the rotating horizontal steel beams, the foggy field gradually became clear, and everyone was surprised to see this scene.
The commentator said, "Alan's plan has failed! Steelix's control over the sandstorm is extraordinary!"
The words fell.
The sandstorm that had been shooting into the sky suddenly became thinner and longer, its upper end bending at an incredible angle.
"Dodge to the side! Spike defense!"
late!
The sandstorm suddenly surged down, bombarding Bricaron's body!
Long——! !
The deafening roar continued!
The sandstorm had completely submerged Bricaron, its interior shimmering with a luminous green light like starlight, but it quickly dimmed, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Commentator: "What a brutal attack! Bricaron is having a very tough time defending against it!"
The situation is extremely urgent.
Alan clenched his fist and shouted, "Hold on! Bricaron!"
No sooner had he opened his mouth than Bricaron's spiked defense was completely shattered by the sandstorm, the fine, dense sand like countless long knives, constantly cutting into its carapace!
呲呲呲——
The eerie rubbing sound kept reaching Bricaron's ears.
The pain came quickly, and wounds were clearly visible on its thick, scaled body!
What kind of attack is this?
Quicksand Hell?
But how could Bricaron, who is resistant to ground-based attributes, possibly not withstand this attack!
Alain couldn't understand Steelix's moves at all.
Fortunately, after this wave of attacks, the swirling sandstorm seemed to lose its power and drifted down, piling up on the ground to form clumps of sand.
The "power" of what appeared to be a sandstorm has been exhausted.
However, Steelix did not land; wisps of electricity swirled around its body, keeping it suspended in mid-air.
Electromagnetic levitation, is it?
"Back to life!"
Ai Lan gave a low shout, and Bricaron, who was enduring the pain, immediately curled up into a ball and suddenly leaped up!
"Li ma!"
It rammed into the giant steel snake, showing no sign of backing down despite its extremely poor physical condition.
Live to the death!
This is the core essence of "bringing the dead back to life"!
But how could Steelix allow its opponent to attack so easily? It fiercely swung its shimmering silver tail and met Bricaron head-on without backing down!
Boom!
The sound was dull!
The energy surge caused a sudden burst of fire and smoke between the two.
Bricaron crashed to the ground, then leaped up again, intending to collide with Steelix once more!
[Resurrection] - The lower your stamina, the stronger it becomes!
"唝!"
Steelix, like a reckless fool, quickly swung its tail and unleashed another Iron Tail attack on Bricaron!
Boom!
Smoke and dust rose again!
The commentator exclaimed, "Bricaron and Steelix are locked in a fierce battle! They're exchanging blows, neither giving an inch! Who will last until the end!?"
Based on the situation in the first half, it was clear to everyone that Bricaron's injury was more serious.
But instead of being defeated by Steelix, it got better and better as the fight went on, launching a fierce attack as if it had locked in its health!
Cypress's expression remained calm, as if he were oblivious to the situation before him.
Alain continued to shout, using his repeated calls to give Bricaron the strength to continue fighting!
"Let's settle this with this move! Resurrection—"
The shouting stopped abruptly.
The reason is that Bricaron, after falling to the ground, did not take off as before, but instead sank sharply into the sand.
The swirling quicksand swallowed it, entangled its body, and made it difficult for Bricaron to leap out and break free.
“Li-ma…”
Its cries became increasingly indistinct as it continued to sink.
In mid-air, the giant steel snake's eyes were sinister, as if it had seen a foolish prey finally take the bait.
The commentator was astonished: "Quicksand Hell? How can the attack be so fast—ah!"
As if realizing something, he shouted, "Bricaron's fall shattered the earth, allowing Steelix to unleash Quicksand Hellfire faster and easier!"
no doubt.
The previous collisions shattered the surface of the arena into fragments, and the accumulated sand and soil allowed Steelix to easily and quickly break through the ground, creating a huge sand pit.
At this crucial moment, Steelix retreated to advance, luring Bricaron into a trap.
The tactics are simple, but they're incredibly effective!
In fact, Steelix could win against Bricaron in a head-on confrontation, and might even win more easily. However, Steelix is no longer willing to use "brute force" as it used to, and has begun to pursue tactics.
Its previous defeat to Shiny Milotic, which resulted in the loss of its power that had grown significantly in a short period of time, truly taught it a profound lesson.
Not long after.
The quicksand on the surface of the site stopped swirling.
Bricaron was spat out, and the referee approached to check, raising his right hand and shouting, "Briccaron is unable to battle! Steelix wins!"
Two to zero, another win!
"唝!"
The giant steel snake roared as it swirled and coiled in mid-air.
The enormous figure arrogantly flew close to the edge of the audience seats, eliciting excited screams and cheers!
Some viewers picked up the sand that had fallen from its body and treasured it, keeping it as a precious keepsake.
This sand was made by the champion's Pokémon!
“Li ma…”
Hari Chestnut lay dejectedly on the trainer's lap, while Manon looked at Alan with concern.
The champion is just too strong!
Can Ai Lan handle it?
-
Of course, it can withstand it.
Ai Lan took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
Although he was disappointed by the two consecutive defeats, he was no longer easily agitated after being deceived by Vladali and nearly committing an unforgivable mistake.
How bad could things get compared to that time?
"They're as strong as ever."
He gazed at the cypress tree from afar, recalling the past and looking at the present.
One has to admire and respect the strength this person possesses; no wonder champion Daigo always praises his opponent.
If one possessed the opponent's strength, perhaps...
"Go!"
Alain threw out his last Poké Ball.
Bang!
"No!"
A giant golden monster, shaped like a crab and with a bronze-colored body, landed on the ground.
Kashiwagi was slightly taken aback. "Hmm?"
Isn't the journey supposed to be Dragonite season?
How many times have I encountered this thing since I reached the advanced ball level?
"come back."
He retrieved the flamboyant Steelix back into its Poké Ball, his fingers darting between the Poké Balls at his waist.
At that moment, a vibrating Poké Ball squeezed into his palm.
"You guy..."
Helpless, Kashiwagi took out his weapon, met Ai Lan's serious gaze, and suddenly tossed it forward, saying, "Then let's have a fight!"
Bang!
The light shines.
Upon seeing this, Ai Lan immediately gave the order, "Bullet Fist!"
No matter which Pokémon Kashiwagi chooses to send out, it's best to strike first!
Ai Lan remained calm and focused on winning each match, not caring about the final result.
His state of mind was indeed elevated, which was one of the main reasons why he was later able to rank sixth among the eight masters.
"No!"
The Metagross raised its heavy fist, silver light swirling in front of it, and suddenly charged forward!
call!
The heavy whistling of the wind accompanied its massive body as it sped along, and in the blink of an eye, it was already close to the Pokémon entering the arena.
But its opponent reacted even faster!
"Sigh~"
Suddenly, a hoarse growl came from beside his ear, and the next moment, Metagross felt the solid touch of an object hitting the sides of his arms, and his vision spun around!
Boom!
A strong feeling of dizziness came from my brain!
"No?"
Metagross inexplicably tried to roll over, but its mocking growl continued to echo in his ears.
Excited shouts came from the audience.
The commentator exclaimed excitedly, "The Dragon King has arrived! The three-headed dragon easily evaded Metagross's attack and instead used it to propel its body!"
Unfortunately, this move wasn't a "deception" attack that used the opponent's strength to counterattack; it was a pure physical attack. Otherwise, Metagross would have lost at least half its health.
The three-headed dragon made its long-awaited return to the grand stage. Facing tens of thousands of audience members, upon hearing the commentator refer to it as the Dragon King, it arrogantly puffed out its chest, raised its head, and roared loudly!
"Screech—!!"
The roar echoed through the sky!
The intimidating roar even triggered the defensive barriers!
The audience cheered wildly. Every Pokémon that Kashiwagi has has a die-hard fanbase, with Hydreigon having the second-highest number of fans after Mawile!
Yes, although it never shows its face, it still has countless fans who love it because of its magnificent record of defeating Emperor Yan and its noble title of Dragon King.
Of course, this type of person is mostly young men.
They're at an age where strength is everything; even the ugliest Pokémon will work if they're strong enough, and they'll exclaim, "How can there be such a cool Pokémon!"
Besides, the three-headed dragon is quite handsome.
Its flamboyant and arrogant demeanor naturally made it a favorite of many.
In addition, Minoru Yamazaki specifically marketed the three-headed dragon that had obtained the title of Dragon King...
Unfortunately, the Dragon King was both his strength and his weakness. Kashiwagi's favorite character, the Three-Headed Dragon, saw its appearance rate plummet for some reason.
Later on, they were almost never seen again.
Kashiwagi's fans are very upset.
Other trainers send out whatever Pokémon is strong, but their idol is unconventional. The stronger the Pokémon, the more he hides it and sends out other Pokémon instead.
Although the other Pokémon are also very strong, they have basically never lost...
But the three-headed dragons are really strong and popular!
"Dragon King! Dragon King! Dragon King!"
The unified shouts from the audience pleased the three-headed dragon greatly. It looked down at the Metagross, which was flipping over and getting up, and a cold smile appeared on its ferocious face.
In order not to disappoint its admirers.
One move—
Solve your problem!
Try it now, you overconfident challenger!
"Sigh—"
It took a deep breath, its chest and abdomen bulged high, and a blood-red glow appeared in front of its three large mouths.
Alain and Metagross were both filled with genuine fear upon witnessing this scene, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"Guard—Comet Fist! Next!"
He chose offense over defense.
He felt that the three-headed dragon's attack could not be withstood by Metagross's defense alone.
Instead of defending, we should devote ourselves entirely to offense.
Offense instead of defense!
"No!"
Metagross's enormous fists came together again, and this time its hind limbs also closed, making it look like a spaceship.
A brilliant, star-like light surrounded it, like a sparkling comet!
It raised its body and soared straight up—
boom--! !
A wave of shattering black and red light descended from the sky!
Like a terrifying ray from outer space, it suddenly pierced through the air in the arena, or more like a saturation bombardment from artillery!
The Metagross, which had just taken flight, vanished instantly, completely obscuring the brilliant light of Comet Fist, leaving not a trace visible.
The intense light even overwhelmed the sunlight overhead, causing the sky and earth to change color!
The audience was silent; everyone's attention was completely absorbed by the overwhelming light, leaving no color in sight.
The entire palace gate began to tremble, as if an earthquake had struck!
The commentator fell silent, also staring at the three-headed dragon pouring out "flames of destruction" high above, unable to comprehend its power.
Dan Emperor...
Charizard...
Familiar figures and familiar Pokémon flashed through his mind.
It seems that only this pair can match the scene before them.
boom--! !
The black and red light was dazzling.
At this moment, the vast arena was completely silent, except for the roar of the evil wave!
