The fine condensation sound blended together, and even the friction of wind and sand could not conceal it.
Just like the huge iceberg standing on the left side of the arena, and the beautifully shaped ice sculpture on the right side with clusters of ice, like spears piercing the sky like a giant ice flower.
Ice-type Z-Move - Raging Earth - Thousand Miles of Ice.
Faced with Cradle Lily's dual defense of sandstorms and charged-up power, Kashiwagi decisively used one of the systems.
and so……
How is the result?
The sandstorm was still raging, with most of the site shrouded in a yellowish-brown haze. The strong winds and swirling sand and gravel obstructed people's vision.
Kashiwagi is directly in front of the iceberg beneath Shiny Milotic, so he can only wait for the Pokémon's response or judge the opponent's situation by looking at the screens elsewhere in the arena.
"Miro~"
The variegated Milotic sits atop the iceberg, exhaling large swaths of icy mist with each breath. Unfazed by the sand and gravel that assaults its body, it keeps its gaze fixed on the Cradle Lily within the distant ice flowers.
One second, two seconds.
Bang!
The iceberg collapsed, and the ice transformed from the Z power vanished without a trace, as did the giant ice flower in the distance.
Unlike natural elements that are directly formed from changes in attribute energy, they cannot last long and will automatically disappear after a period of time.
Through the howling sandstorm, Kashiwagi and the Oddish Milotic could see Cradle Lily with its head tilted to the side, its body still standing tall.
This is because of the existence of "roots," which prevents it from completely falling to the ground.
Fortunately, Kashiwagi had good eyesight and spotted the extinguished divine light within its bell-like head.
Deng Pei braved the sandstorm to enter the site and, after a brief pause, raised his right hand to signal.
"Cradle is unable to fight! Milotic wins!"
Wow!
Cheers and shouts echoed from the audience.
One blow and you're defeated!
The Z-Move is really powerful!
Some viewers subconsciously recalled Ash and Pikachu's Z-Moves, and Hydreigon seemed to have been defeated by 100 Million Volts without any resistance.
Ash was full of admiration, "That's amazing..."
Hep was equally stunned, muttering, "Is this Kashiwagi's true strength?"
The Z-Move just now can be considered Milotic's first "attack," and all its previous moves can only be considered passive parries.
Even so, Cradle Lily, which possesses both sandstorm and charge-up protection, was defeated by it using a non-Style Frenzy Earth Freeze.
Is Daigo not strong enough?
No.
Kashiwagi's Pokémon are just too strong.
For example, in the battle between Iris and Cynthia, this situation will occur when the strength of the Pokémon on both sides is not at the same level.
The gifts from the simulator have seemingly brought Kashiwagi's Pokémon to a level comparable to, or even surpassing, those of veteran champions and ace Pokémon. This power has already been felt in the previous championship battles.
At this very moment, under the gaze of countless eyes around the world, and with Daigo's Cradle Lily as a backdrop, his unprecedented and overwhelming power was fully displayed.
He also declared to everyone, whether they knew him or not, that he was the strongest contender among the eight masters!
Wow!
The cheers of the audience resounded through the sky, and the exhilarating shouts made the entire palace arena tremble.
The Rockets' cheerleading trio has already started dancing in the stands.
"Kashiwa! The best! Kashiwa! The best!"
"Super strong! Super cool! Super amazing!"
"Whoosh!"
Inside the preparation room, An Xin'er clapped enthusiastically with a beaming smile, while Karuni scoffed, "So what if he's a little bit better?"
"That's more than just a little bit," Zhu Lan commented with a smile.
Both were "victims" of the main competition and knew very well what kind of monster they were currently fighting against.
Daigo is indeed very strong, but in Karen and Cynthia's opinion, he's actually in a tough spot.
People from all over the world, including Orei Academy, Meteor Village, and Pyrite City, who were watching the match, all wore happy expressions.
Inside the Glass Dojo, Michael was speechless at the sight. "He's gotten stronger again. He's a monster."
Adam did not speak.
He was one of the first to know about the current level of the Shiny Milotic, but to be honest, he was stunned for a long time, feeling that it was really beyond his imagination.
That's level 90!
Adam is a veteran trainer and knows very well that once a Pokémon reaches level 80, its level basically stagnates.
Whether they can continue to improve depends entirely on fate, and has little to do with the talent of the Pokémon and the trainer.
Undoubtedly, the times are rolling forward, wave after wave, and future trainers will inevitably be stronger than those of today. However, Kashiwagi's situation is truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
After all, Adam knew very well that the Kashiwagi family was not just powerful in one aspect, but that all of them were ridiculously strong!
Sometimes he was really curious about how the other person did it.
It's exactly like the online comments about Kashiwagi—her life seems to be on a winning streak.
However, what Adam didn't know was that someone's cheating was completely off, far exceeding the level of ordinary cheating.
The cheers from the stadium lasted for a long time.
Daigo recovered from his brief daze and calmly put the Cradle Lily back. "This really is..."
He was naturally quite surprised by the result. The output of the Odd-colored Milotic far exceeded his expectations, to the point that the combined defense of Sandstorm and Charged-Up could not stop the attack.
If she retains even a sliver of strength, the Rooting and Grassy Grounds will allow Cradle Lily to recover, not to mention that after charging up, she can swallow this combo.
"Looks like we need to think of something."
Steven recalled the unconscious Cinnabar and immediately released the next Pokémon.
boom!
The light flows.
The Pokémon that appeared in the arena surprised many people.
"Metamorphose! Steven has sent out his ace Pokémon, Metagross!" the announcer shouted.
This massive steel behemoth, with its disc-shaped body, four legs, pure silver gleaming, and a golden cross on its face, is none other than Daigo's ace monster, Oddityrum.
The sand and gravel swept across the field, but could not shake its body at all. Its indifferent eyes swept across half the field and landed precisely on the Milotic, whose presence could not be obscured by the sand and gravel.
However, in the blink of an eye, it was taken back by a beam of light, and replaced by another beam of light.
The announcer shouted loudly: "It's here! Kashiwagi's perfect switching strategy! The Pokémon he chose is—Gengar!"
"Giggle!"
The Pokémon that suddenly darted into the arena was none other than the most mischievous, dramatic, and petty gray chubby Pokémon from the Kashiwagi family.
It chuckled and looked at its opponent, showing no fear whatsoever at the title of champion ace.
Or perhaps we're targeting the elite!
Two Pokémon of different colors met in the sandstorm. As they gazed at each other from dozens of meters away, the parts of each Pokémon with their Mega Stones simultaneously burst forth with dazzling light, echoing the decisive trainers behind them.
The host exclaimed in surprise, "A perfect double super evolution of teamwork!"
Even Steven, once hailed as the strongest Mega Evolver, wouldn't have Mega Evolved his Pokémon immediately; he would have preferred to battle it out for a few rounds first.
This bad habit has now been completely corrected by Kashiwagi.
Given the Shiny Milotic's incredible power, Steven dared not underestimate Shiny Gengar and hoped to use his strongest form to deal with it.
Moreover, the Shiny Metagross, which also possesses psychic abilities, is essentially countered by its opponent.
With a radiant glow and an elevated form, the two Pokémon received a brand new look in full view of everyone.
The Super Shiny Gengar's entire body turned from gray to white, its blood-red eyes now as lifeless as black holes, its withered claws and lower body hidden underground, and its face full of a chilling grin.
The Mega Metagross hovered in mid-air, sprouting four thick, battering ram-like arms that firmly guarded its front and rear. The golden cross on its face turned dark blue, and long spikes resembling rams grew from its lower jaw.
When placed in the field, each of them exuded an extraordinary aura, and the swirling sandstorm seemed to be affected by them, slowing down.
A fierce battle is about to break out.
"trick."
"Bullet Fist!"
Kashiwagi and Steven's commands were drowned out by the howling sandstorm, but the Pokémon still responded precisely.
"Giggle!"
The Super Shiny Gengar let out a sharp screech, and the dark red and black energy around it suddenly surged, manifesting a strange question mark above its head.
The moment the orange-yellow light flashed, it suddenly flipped over and sank into the "underground".
The next instant, a silver lightning bolt pierced through the sand curtain!
boom!
The Super Metagross, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, with its four steel claws enveloped in silvery-white steel energy, suddenly smashed a huge hole in the sand and dust with the force and sharpness of a bullet!
The sand and gravel scattered along the way were directly shattered by the airflow, and the sound of the steel claws cutting through the air was sharp and piercing, leaving only a clear silver-white trail.
However, this swift attack failed to hit its opponent. The Super Shiny Gengar had already vanished into another dimension, making it impossible to detect by ordinary means, let alone attack.
"No..."
The Super Xenomorph stopped, its gaze sweeping across its surroundings as it used its multi-brain, which was said to be even smarter than a supercomputer, to think and analyze.
Daigo remained calm, as if he had expected this.
There was much discussion about this outside the venue.
This isn't the first time a Super Shiny Gengar has displayed this ability, and there have been discussions online about how to deal with it, but no definitive answer has been reached.
After all, Pokémon can only travel to another dimension by using the move Phantom Strikes, and they can't stay there for long.
This guy is different. Judging from the current situation, he clearly belongs to the exaggerated category of staying as long as he wants, which is completely beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Fortunately, when the Super Shiny Gengar attacks, it still needs to appear to resolve the situation. How will Steven handle it?
Countless eyes watched this strong and powerful man with anticipation.
Daigo's strategy is—
"gravity."
"No!"
The Super Metagross's eyes suddenly lit up, and an invisible pressure descended upon the entire area in an instant. Even the flying dust was affected by this terrifying force and fell to the ground.
The host shouted, "Strong gravity activated! Is Daigo trying to seal off space!?"
Without a doubt, just as he said.
Since Super Shiny Gengar can appear from multiple angles in all directions, we can simply seal off the space.
By confining the battle to the ground, the unpredictability of Super Shiny Gengar's elusive nature is greatly reduced, while also adding a degree of accuracy to Super Shiny Metagross's calculations.
The super-spotted Gengar, unable to contain itself, quickly emerged.
However, as if he had foreseen the future, Daigo instantly locked onto the Super Shiny Gengar located under the belly of the Super Shiny Metagross, which was sending out a phantom flame with its claws.
"Strengthen your willpower!"
"No!"
The Super Xenomorph's pupils naturally shifted downwards, emitting blue light that formed a thin energy field film against its body surface.
The moment the ghostly blue flame touched it, it was violently thrown away, forcibly twisted and flung into the sandstorm in the distance, turning into specks of blue sparks that dissipated completely.
At the same time as dispelling the will-o'-the-wisp, Daigo decisively launched a powerful attack: "Grab it!"
A massive amount of spiritual power was released instantly, like a giant net grabbing at the outstretched claws of the Super Shiny Gengar.
The only difference is that the latter's will-o'-the-wisp is sent out quickly, but it shrinks even faster.
In the blink of an eye, the ghostly claw had already retracted into the other dimension, leaving only a barely perceptible ripple in the air.
Daigo's eyes flickered slightly as he realized that his mental power couldn't be extended in. The Super Shiny Gengar had closed the door too quickly. He continued to give commands to Super Shiny Metagross in his mind.
Thus, the mental energy that should have been gathered up was spread out again, covering the entire area like a dense, interwoven net.
Mega Metagross truly lives up to its reputation as Steven's trump card; its psychic power is virtually inexhaustible, in no way inferior to Gardevoir's Mega Gardevoir.
Kashiwagi could vaguely sense the situation, but his expression remained unchanged. "The will-o'-the-wisp didn't work... then forget it, let's just start the battle!"
"Genga!"
Ripples spread through the air.
The Super Shiny Gengar appeared dozens of meters away, and the moment it emerged, a purple-black light wave rapidly condensed in its mouth.
A massive, deep-colored, dark purple energy sphere rapidly took shape. Its pure and violent power made it as unfathomable as a black hole, constantly pulsating and distorting the air.
Daigo: "Close the net!"
Mega Shiny Metagross's eyes suddenly lit up, and the Psychic Web that covered the earth quickly tightened, intending to entangle Mega Shiny Gengar's body.
But just as the mental web successfully entangled its opponent, a terrifying, black hole-like shadow ball shot out, easily breaking through the illusory mental power and heading straight for the face of the Super Metagross.
Mega Shiny Gengar used this attack to break through the invisible encirclement and disappeared into thin air. Seeing this, Steven had no choice but to change his tune, "Comet Punch!"
"No!"
The Super Xenomorph brought its four thick arms together, and a meteor-like silver light suddenly shone in front of it, intensifying as it swirled to the side, forming a sharp and bright cross-shaped stream of energy!
As the Shadow Ball approached, Comet Fist, with its immense and unparalleled power, tore through the sandstorm and clashed head-on with it!
The next moment, the Shadow Sphere and the Steel Comet collided violently.
The two exploded at the center of the ground like meteorites hitting the earth, and the violent energy shockwave spread wildly, violently blowing away the surrounding sand and dust, forming a brief sand-free vacuum area.
The front section of the stands was illuminated by protective devices, shielding the audience from the intense light and impact of the fierce clashes.
But the onslaught from the Super Shiny Gengar was not over.
The ability to travel between dimensions can be used in two ways: like a mouse hiding and sneaking up on enemies, or like Doraemon's Anywhere Door, constantly shifting positions to deceive the opponent.
Now it wants to do the latter, and defeat the regional champion's ace with its strength, just like the lucky egg!
