Chapter 1416 Ah! Money God Flower!
Everything seemed to have returned to its original starting point.
No.
The rain is still here.
Splash...
The fine rain, like a silver curtain torn apart by an invisible hand, densely covered the entire battlefield without any sign of stopping.
Steven gazed at the magnificent shiny Milotic in the distance, and without hesitation, quickly pulled out a Poké Ball and recalled the Skarmory that was outside the field.
"Looks like this isn't an opponent you can handle."
Although he had just increased his speed by moving at high speed, Daigo had no regrets. He was more worried that if he hesitated any longer, he would miss the great opportunity to exchange things.
The host couldn't help but shout, "Daigo has made the first exchange! What will be his next move?"
The Pokémon exchange occurred in less than three minutes at the start of the match, which was arguably the fastest exchange since the start of the Masters Tournament, but the champions all understood Steven's situation at that moment.
Ash, sitting in the audience, exclaimed solemnly, "They actually used a tornado to turn the tables and control the storm..."
The champion was the only one who took the most hits from Hurricane during the match, but he also understood the power of the move best. In his opinion, the power used by Skarmory was only slightly inferior to what he had encountered before.
Who would have thought that it would be so easily countered by the Odd-Colored Milotic? It's hard to imagine just how terrifying Kashiwagi's strength is now.
boom!
A radiant light shone forth.
Steven's second Pokémon, Cradlelily, makes its dazzling debut.
This creature has eight pink tentacles and an emerald green body. It appears to have a ring of yellow eye-like spots around its head, but these are not its eyes; they are some kind of external camouflage.
"As expected."
Kashiwagi was not surprised at all by Daigo's choice.
After all, this Cinnabar has a rare hidden ability—[Water Absorb], making it the best choice to deal with Water-type Pokémon.
However, a Shiny Milotic is by no means a creature that is completely powerless without its own type bonuses.
Therefore, the impact of water diversion on it is not particularly significant.
"The wall of light."
Kashiwagi still did not launch an attack first, and very cautiously strengthened his defense.
The variegated Milotic tilted its head back and murmured, and suddenly many shimmering transparent glass pieces appeared in front of it, appearing and disappearing quickly.
Not far away, Daigo's choice shocked those around him.
He then retrieved the Cradle Lily that had just entered the arena, and the Dynamax wristband on his wrist suddenly emitted a purplish-red light, which flowed continuously into the Poké Ball.
"Come on! Dynamax!"
Dynamax at the start!?
Countless viewers found it incredible, including the host.
"Daiwu has used Dynamax! It seems Milotic has put a lot of pressure on him!"
However, Kashiwagi wholeheartedly agreed with his approach.
The characteristics of Dynamax are not only the three attack opportunities, but also the fact that it can give Pokémon double the HP, so that they can withstand many forces that would otherwise be difficult to bear.
Using it at full strength undoubtedly yields the best benefits.
hum!
Higher up, shrouded in dark clouds, crimson clouds covered the sky.
As Steven threw the Poké Ball, Cinnabar entered the arena a second time. In an instant, a dazzling crimson Dynamax light erupted from Cinnabar's body, instantly enveloping its entire form!
Long——
Cradle Lily's size visibly expanded rapidly, instantly growing from a body less than two meters tall to a gigantic form tens of meters tall!
The thick tentacles, like towering trees, reached so high that many of their tendrils extended into the rain clouds. The immense pressure brought by their exaggerated size swept across the entire area, causing the small amount of water on the ground to churn and splash up in large sprays.
"Yoru~~~!"
The Dynamaxed Cradlelily let out a long cry, which shook the continuous rain curtain and made those who looked up at it gasp.
Seeing Dynamax Pokémon from a high place and from a low place are undoubtedly two different experiences. Although Kashiwagi had seen Dynamax Pokémon countless times, witnessing it again now still made him feel a sense of exhilaration.
Big! Great! Beautiful!
Cradle Lily! Giant Grassland!
"Move forward! Hold the line!"
The two gave the order in unison.
The Shiny Milotic charged forward quickly, its body pressed against the slippery ground as it rapidly approached its opponent.
The Dynamaxed Cradle Lily's enormous body swayed gently, its eight tentacles gathering in front of it, instantly condensing into several bright green seeds larger than small cars, which it then hurled at the Shiny Milotic below!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The dull thuds continued, and the shiny Milotic swerved left and right, managing to dodge the giant seed only thanks to its excellent agility.
But as soon as they landed, they immediately sprouted and grew into countless grasses and mushrooms.
Giant, luminous green plants began to grow wildly on the ground. These pseudo-creatures, made purely of grass-attribute masculine energy, emitted an unprecedentedly intense light, covering the entire area!
In an instant, all the glowing plants were released like bombs as the Milotic raised its shimmering blue spherical shield of light!
Boom—!!
The blinding light engulfed the entire audience's vision, causing them to instinctively close their eyes.
Once their eyes adjusted to the dazzling light, they were surprised to see that the emerald green light had covered the ground, turning it into a "grassy field".
Under the influence of this force, both Pokémon will tirelessly restore their health.
Despite the shattered Protect, the Shiny Milotic continued its charge forward. The power of the Dynamax move was indeed extraordinary; even Milotic couldn't defend against it effectively, but managing to block most of it was already quite impressive.
Kashiwagi also deduced from the fact that the Light Screen had no effect during the attack that the Dynamaxed Cradle Lily must have used Dynamax Grassland through a physical move.
This is normal.
First of all, Cinnabar is a dual-wielding Pokémon.
Secondly, the shiny Milotic used Light Screen and Mirror Image right in front of Steven. Only a madman would use Max Shore using a special attack move.
Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, Daigo's main purpose was to create a grassy field, and there would be a next step.
How could I possibly let you have your way!
Hypnosis!
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was not particularly far, Kashiwagi decisively ordered the Odd-colored Milotic to try to control the giant object.
"Miro~"
The Shiny Milotic sang its lullaby once more, its eyes shimmering with a bright blue light, releasing pinkish-purple ripples forward.
Little did anyone know that Steven had already anticipated his thoughts: "Max Guard! Then knock it away!"
Just as the pink ripples were about to touch the Dynamaxed Cradle Lily, an AT field, much like in EVA, suddenly activated, with translucent hexagonal light shields blocking the hypnotic light waves.
At the same moment, Gigantamax Cradlelily extended its tentacles toward Shiny Milotic.
At this moment, the tentacles, like giant pillars in the clear sky, crashed down and headed straight for the miscolored Milotic. The latter immediately began to dodge, but these giant pillars were comparable to javelins magnified dozens of times, constantly striking the ground and creating spiderweb-like cracks.
The host exclaimed, "Cradle Lily is closing in! Milotic skillfully dodges!"
Soon, the Shiny Milotic had already hidden behind the Dynamaxed Cradle Lily, which was also in front of Steven.
Cradleix is not a Pokémon that is good at moving, and it is even more difficult after Dynamaxing. However, its head can rotate 90 degrees, so even if Shiny Milotic escapes here, it is still within its sight.
Daigo quickly gave the order: "Go! Max Rock!"
"Yoru!!"
As Cinnabar Dynamaxed, it shouted loudly, and the ground in front of it suddenly rose up. A huge rocky mountain burst out from the ground. The rock was brownish-brown in color and its rough surface was made entirely of Rock-type Dynamax energy, almost blocking out half of the sky.
Without any unnecessary special effects, it crashed down on the Odd-colored Milotic with its extreme weight and immense impact.
The light wall attack had no effect, clearly indicating that it was also a physical skill.
From Kashiwagi's current angle, it's difficult to see through the body of the Dynamaxed Cradle Lily and get a glimpse of the Shiny Milotic's condition, but that doesn't prevent him from giving commands.
"Get to the opponent! Hold the line!"
"Miro~"
Shiny Milotic's keen battle instincts had already prompted it to approach Gigantamax Cradlelily's body, while its body glowed with a bright blue light.
In an instant, the rainwater along the way was violently pushed aside by a powerful airflow, forming a visible white air wave, and the roar reverberated throughout the entire area.
The massive rock mountain collapsed abruptly the moment it hit the ground, and the ground trembled with a deafening roar, as if it were about to crumble.
Countless pebbles flew like rain, crashing onto the ground and splashing up large amounts of water and gravel.
Large swathes of sand rushed in all directions. Daigo, who was very close by, raised his hand to block it. Fortunately, his suit was similar to the Lava Suit and had strong protective capabilities, so he was not blown away by the shock wave created by the Giant Rock.
Even so, sand and mud still stained his body.
Daigo was completely unaware of this.
He has already achieved all his current goals.
The clouds and rain in the sky were dispersed by a powerful force, replaced by a sky full of yellow sand.
They enveloped the entire area, while also providing the Rock-type Cradle Lily with powerful special defensive capabilities.
The Dynamax light gradually detached from Cradleix, and it returned to its original form.
The host shouted, "Max Meadow! Max Rock! The swift double attack creates an excellent battle environment for Cinnabar!"
The sandstorm created by the Dynamax move was quite fierce, and the entire arena was now covered by swirling sand, making it difficult for the spectators outside the arena to clearly see the two Pokémon inside.
An Xin'er nervously gripped Karuni's arm, "Auntie... Uncle Bai Mu, he..."
"Don't worry, you won't lose out."
Zhu Lan smiled and patted her head.
Karune nodded and said, "It seems like Daigo got the better deal, but Kashiwagi didn't lose out at all."
Both of them had fought against Kashiwagi and knew very well that to fight this guy, you had to have the power to deliver a decisive blow.
Dynamax moves have this effect.
Now Daigo is using it to create a favorable environment and reduce Milotic's stamina... Hopefully, his subsequent tactics will allow him to go toe-to-toe with Kashiwagi.
Inside the venue, where a sandstorm raged.
The Shiny Milotic is being eroded by the sand, but its expression doesn't show much pain.
Including the two previous Dynamax moves, the Protect effect significantly reduces the damage it inflicts, so the damage is quite limited.
It's not to the point where it has to resort to self-regeneration. Besides, with grassy ground, no matter how fierce the sandstorm, it can recover through the green light of the ground.
More importantly, the two sides are very close at this moment.
"Milotic! Engage your opponent! Charm!"
Kashiwagi's shout came from afar, and the Oddityrum Milotic didn't hesitate, it pounced and got entangled with Cradle Lily.
Upon hearing this, Daigo shouted without hesitation, "Charge!"
"Yoru!"
Faced with the love released by the shiny Milotic, Cradle Lily quickly used a move on the spot to try to raise her physical and special defense.
next moment.
Love flowed into its body, and the Cradle Lily's hidden eyes transformed into the shape of hearts, then suddenly returned to their clear state, only to quickly revert back again.
The orange-yellow light appeared a step later.
The host exclaimed, "Cradle is in a trance! It's unlikely to attack Milotic again!"
It's difficult, but not impossible.
Steven trusted his Pokémon implicitly, so he ignored its current state and continued shouting, "Root!"
Kashiwagi's voice rang out first from the other side: "Voice of Temptation!"
Milotic, having entangled Cradle Lily, steadied itself and opened its mouth to emit a melodious and gentle sound wave, which carried a faint pink halo and spread out in the sandstorm.
Fine ripples pierced through the dry air and sand, directly assaulting Cradle Lily's senses.
Bang!
Smoke billows out!
"Yoru!!"
Cradle Lily cried out in extreme pain, not because the damage from the Enchanting Voice was too great for her to bear, but because of its side effects.
This adds a layer of chaos to its already captivating nature.
Enchanted and confused, Cradle Lily is now like a turtle in a jar. Even with multiple protections such as Sandstorm, Charge Up, Max Prairie, and Rooting, it still has to be the first to bear the fierce attack from Shiny Milotic.
Strike while the iron is hot and kill it!
"Make way! Milotic!" Kashiwagi shouted, and Milotic suddenly released Cradle Lily and quickly retreated to his position.
The host exclaimed in confusion, "Why did Kashiwagi recall Milotic? Ah! This is it!"
Kashiwa raised his arm, which was emitting a faint icy blue fluorescence, and made a mysterious gesture.
Ash in the audience shouted excitedly, "The Z-Move is coming!"
no doubt.
Facing a tanky, high-HP opponent who was in a slump, Kashiwagi decisively unleashed his ultimate skill, aiming to kill the monster in one hit!
"Let your opponent taste the power of extreme cold!"
The energy radiance released by the Ice-type Z-Crystal enveloped Kashiwagi and Shiny Milotic, causing a terrifying cold mist to condense around them.
Daigo's gaze pierced through the sandstorm, taking in what was happening on the other side, and he quickly shouted, "Cradle! Use Protect!"
At this moment, Cradle Lily, who was simultaneously fascinated and confused, felt dizzy and was quite sluggish in responding to her trainer's commands, but she slowly began to unleash her power.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Kashiwagi and the Shiny Milotic moved with incredible speed. A massive ice platform suddenly rose from beneath the latter's feet, and a chilling light gathered in front of it, unleashing a powerful beam of light towards the immobilized Cradle Lily, which had become a perfect target in the distance!
"Go forth! Across the raging, frozen land!"
Boom—!!
The icy blue beam pierced through the sand and dust, instantly freezing the trembling Cradle Lily and cutting off its ability to move!
