Chapter 976 Magearna
as predicted.
Cheng Hong was stunned when he saw Magearna. He had never seen such a mythical Pokémon before.
In fact, if it weren't for the relevant information provided by the boss Kashiwagi before the game, he would have known very little about the Silver Companion Beast!
As for characteristics, move pool, and the like, you can only look at the basic information provided by the organizer.
Even Kashiwagi had not expected the appearance of Magiyana, and it was even more impossible for Chenghong to have the foresight to look up information in advance.
He can only judge its attributes by appearance.
Steel attribute is most likely a sure thing, and the other one is...superpower? Fairy?
Let’s fight first!
"earthquake!"
To be safe, he chose a long-range ground move.
If the opponent had the levitating trait or could fly, then he would admit it, but it was unlikely—
Holy shit! He really jumped up!
The dragon head hamster's sharp claws slammed the ground, causing a terrible shock wave, and the huge metal Poké Ball not far away bounced high at the first moment.
It transformed into a small robot in mid-air and sprayed blazing flames at the dragon-headed mole!
It's a jet of flame!
Cheng Hong suddenly felt something was wrong, but it was too late.
Magearna's jump is predicted, in other words, the timing of the attack is equal to that of the earthquake.
The dragon-headed hamster has no way to hide.
But it also resulted in the earthquake not ending after the descent of "Majiana", and the aftermath lifted the false cloak.
Amid the exclamations of countless audiences, a cunning black fox with red mane replaced the metal-looking robot.
"It's Zoroark! We've been tricked!"
Cheng Hong was shocked.
He was so absorbed in Magearna that he overlooked the fact that she might be Zoroark in disguise!
The dragon head mole was hit by a jet of flame and its condition plummeted.
Even the movement speed of the sand-moving booster has slowed down.
Cheng Hong tried to take it back, but Gladion and Zoroark were waiting for it, so they chased the Dragon Head Diglett and fired another [Chase] shot.
When the opponent chooses to swap Pokémon, the damage of the chase attack will be doubled.
The dragon head hamster instantly lost its ability to fight.
"It was a mistake."
Kashiwagi felt quite regretful.
After all, Cheng Hong was not calm enough. Faced with the ignorant Majiana, he failed to keep calm and make a more accurate judgment.
As a result, he fell into Gladion's trap.
Are you saying he didn't know about Zoroark's existence?
Of course I know.
But I still fell for it, because the sense of urgency brought by the unknown narrowed my vision.
If this was just an ordinary ranking match, Cheng Hongda could have said with a smile - "I'll give it to you, I surrender", and then try again after surrendering.
It’s a pity that there is no revival match in the league conference.
The third Pokémon -
Crab living in the rock hall.
As soon as he came on the field, he was hit by a rapid return attack from Zoroark, and then faced the real Magearna.
Cheng Hong slowly calmed down.
Unfortunately, Magearna was also a numerical monster. She withstood the rock cannon of Gandono Igawa, changed the ball [Gear Shift] to speed up and get closer, and without saying a word, she raised her hand and fired a [Flower Cannon].
The light shield that was defending was pierced through.
Take away instantly.
There is no question of seizing opportunities or increasing rhythm.
This guy Gladion... actually started to do shady things. How could such a young and passionate middle school student become so cunning?
Kashiwagi, unaware of the impact on himself, sighed that people's hearts have changed.
"My brother won!"
Liliae clapped excitedly, and Bai Gungun made a happy "chi" sound at her feet.
Lusamine's performance was even more intense. She stood up and waved her hands vigorously towards the people below, as if she was a parent who came to watch the school sports meeting.
Gladion, who had a solemn expression, felt embarrassed for a moment.
Lilia also felt ashamed. She covered her face and whispered, "Mother... don't do this!"
Kashiwagi left the table.
Greeting the dejected Cheng Hong outside the stadium.
"Boss, I..."
"It's amazing to have come this far. No one dares to say that your performance is bad!"
He patted his childhood friend on the shoulder and said, "Let's go! Let's go watch Big Sister's game! I hope the game isn't over yet!"
"……it is good!"
Cheng Hong rubbed his face and came to the venue of Ayana competition surrounded by his old friends from Qingyi Street.
It’s not finished yet, but it’s almost over.
Two Pokémon on Ayana's side have lost their ability to fight, and the only one left is the Giant Swamp King.
The two Pokémon sent by the Dragon Man are still there.
Inside the arena.
The coconut tree was whipping the giant swamp king with its thick vines, and the latter had no power to fight back.
"Gone."
Kashiwagi sighed.
The Huangtie Town trainers were down two more generals, leaving only him and Shan Minoru.
Strictly speaking, Shan Minoru is not a trainer in Yellow Iron Town, but he once served as the mayor.
Otsuka came closer and said seriously, "Boss, the dragon man is just as you said, he is ridiculously strong!"
"Ah."
Kashiwagi nodded.
As a strong man who can fight against the second generation Shadow Team alone, the method of Dragon Man is to fight to support the war. He snatches dark Pokémon from the Shadow Team and uses them to fight the Shadow Team.
In other words.
All of Dragon Man's Pokémon have undergone dark transformation surgery, so their combat effectiveness is guaranteed.
Not to be underestimated!
Welcome back the defeated Ayana.
She seemed to not care about the outcome of the game at all, but Kashiwagi could feel that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.
"What do you think I'm missing?"
Ayana suddenly asked.
Kashiwagi asked back: "What was your original expectation?"
"Semi-finals, or semi-finals." Ayana's expectations were a bit high.
But if she could get rid of those evil gods from outside the domain that came because of Kashiwagi or for other reasons, she would have a chance of advancing to the final tournament.
At least that's what Kashiwagi thinks.
"accumulation."
He said frankly: "I think you have also discovered that traveling for a year can bring you more benefits than staying in Orei for several years."
It is an indisputable fact that everything in the Oure region is still in its infancy, and it is difficult to compete in any aspect with those old regions where the competitive spirit has been blowing for hundreds of years.
After a moment's hesitation, Ayana nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. It looks like I still have a long way to go."
Compared to losing in the second round of the preliminary round.
She was even more worried that her career as a trainer had come to an end and she would no longer be able to improve.
Lunch at noon.
Kashiwagi ran into Yamaminoru who had been missing for the entire morning.
"Are you going to take charge of the situation again?"
"No... I caught up on some sleep."
Shan Min shook his head, his eyes were slightly red and bloodshot.
As usual, Kashiwagi wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but when he saw his friend's state, he didn't know what to say.
Catching up on sleep?
Obviously I didn't sleep well last night.
"You're not going to ask me 'what I'm nervous about'?"
Shan Min was in the mood for a joke.
Otsuka next to him chuckled and said, "Boss, you don't have to worry about President Yamaminoru. Have you forgotten that you once lost to him?"
The people around also laughed.
Who would have thought that the trainer who was now called the Reigning King had suffered a defeat in a small wild game in the Pyrite Arena before?
But the person who defeated him at that time was sitting right in front of him!
But before Kashiwagi could express his opinion, the winner, Yamanori, frowned and said solemnly:
"Shut up! There's no need to talk about this old story. Kashiwagi is getting so much attention now, be careful there might be ears!"
A big part of Dan Di's selling point is [the undefeated king].
Shan Minoru wanted to create a second king, so how could he allow anyone to throw dirty water on Kashiwagi?
Even though the dirty water was produced by him.
Otsuka smiled awkwardly, never expecting that his flattery would backfire.
Kashiwagi looked at Shan Minoru and felt that the latter's displeasure was not only because he was worried about affecting the champion's reputation, but also because of something else...
"Are you really ready?"
"of course."
He nodded confidently, "It has never been better than it is now. My long-cherished wish is about to come true."
【Curtain Call Ceremony】
This is what Shan Min said before the game.
I attended a conference for the last time, attending the Ourai conference in my hometown to fulfill my wish and bid farewell to my immature self with a grand farewell ceremony.
At that time, Kashiwagi thought that as long as Yamaminoru waited for him to participate in the competition, he would naturally change his mind.
But now?
"I believe you."
He still didn't persuade.
Before the game, there is no need to say many things to increase his burden. Moreover, when a friend has really made up his mind, what he should do is to support him.
Shan Minoru smiled and gave a thumbs-up sign, meaning:
Everything is OK, he can do it.
The match with Tetsuya might be the toughest challenge he has faced in the second half of the year. The previous formation meetings had never made him lose sleep.
I hope it will come true.
-
First wave in the afternoon.
The familiar people participating in the competition are Yamanori, Tetsuya, Leo, Huoyan and Bartras.
Except for the first two which are battles between two opposing parties, the last three are fights against strangers.
Not much spectator value.
What was more surprising was that Achao from the Ocean Team did not go to watch Huoyan's game. Fortunately, he rushed over to laugh at her when she had an accident.
Instead, he came to Shan Min's competition venue.
Are the rules of the qualifiers so detrimental?
It’s been four or five days!
Baimu didn't go over to ask Achao because Shanmin's father Denis was sitting next to them.
"uncle."
"Yama Minoru said that he wanted me to attend this game, so I came."
Dinis smiled and said, “Many others came as well.”
Kashiwagi looked around and indeed found some familiar yet unfamiliar faces, basically all members of the rescue organization.
This guy has prepared something grand.
He looked at Shan Minoru, who had a calm temperament in the field, and looked forward to his friend's performance.
Tetsuya entered the room, and his sister sat with girls including Meiyali and Rukia, looking nervous.
Rukia secretly sent a message saying that Tetsuya's sister seemed to have a strong liking for Yama Minoru.
But between fully supporting Shan Minoru or his brother, he still chose the latter.
Good sister!
Kashiwagi sent a picture of the Magic Wall Doll with an approving look to Rukia, asking her to help pass it to the little girl.
Lukia sent back a picture of a laughing Tanabata Bluebird.
Not long after.
The commentator Shiratori was in position, and the computer randomly picked the grass court.
The first game of the second round of preliminary competition kicks off in the afternoon!
Yamaminori and Tetsuya send out the Pokémon they decided on.
Boom!
To some extent, the starting Pokémon selected from the six choices has a great impact on the entire battle and can even determine the subsequent direction.
Shanren seeks stability.
What was released was still the bronze bell, not seeking merit but avoiding fault.
Tetsuya's choice was quite surprising.
Coal turtle.
And it has sunlight characteristics.
After it appeared, the sunlight quickly gathered, as if a god was casting a gaze at it, instantly illuminating the entire grass field.
Pre-selection?
Kashiwagi was surprised that Tetsuya had hidden such a Pokémon. Judging from Yamaminoru's appearance, he probably hadn't looked up any information privately.
The start was not very smooth.
Shan Min's bronze bell has a floating property and is heat-resistant, which does not halve the power of the fire attribute.
It would be difficult to take on the Coal Turtle's full-status fire breath from the front.
He was forced to swap Pokémon at the start.
Replacing it was the artificial cell egg, a strange little man wrapped in light green liquid.
Shan Min's sixth Pokémon, like the Bronze Bell, has a weak presence.
But he is very good at using his proud pair of arms for massage. He is the mascot of the Huangtie Town Government Office and is loved by many office workers.
Faced with the flames erupting from the coal turtle, its action was to break the wall.
The wall of light opens.
The roaring lava shells suddenly became less difficult to deal with.
Immediately.
Covered in smoke, it was not in a hurry to recover. It opened up its spiritual field while approaching the coal turtle.
Zhe also felt that Shan Minoru must have some intention and was determined to distance the coal turtle from the artificial cell egg.
Taking into account the coal turtle's relatively poor movement speed.
He simply used high-speed spinning to dodge.
Since Artificial Cell Egg is also a slow Pokémon, it can't catch up with Coal Turtle at all.
The positions of the two Pokémon instantly changed from one south and one north to one north and one south.
The sneak attack failed, and Shan Min began to attack.
"Strong mental thoughts!"
Taking advantage of the spiritual field, the artificial cell egg extended its spiritual tentacles to the coal turtle.
Kashiwagi once said that the spiritual field is more suitable for wide-area combat power.
Unfortunately.
The artificial cell egg has not learned this trick yet. The one who knows this trick is Alakazam, and it is currently in the process of learning.
The special training time is too short.
Kashiwagi said that if it had been a month earlier, he would have been able to make up for the shortcomings of his Pokémon in terms of changing moves.
But Shan Min was already very satisfied.
The venue was filled with black smoke.
This is the smoke that the coal turtle spews out to stop strong mental thoughts. Even mental power cannot penetrate it.
The initial exploratory attack failed.
Shan Min remained calm and asked the artificial cell egg to use meditation to improve his condition.
As a result, Zheye couldn't sit still.
He ordered the fire to be sprayed again, and a terrifying column of fire fell from the sky, with lava fire bombs as big as human heads.
The artificial cell egg remained calm and allowed itself to be hit by the fire bombs, continuing to meditate unwaveringly.
This made the audience a little confused about Shan Min's plan.
The Pokémon's status keeps declining. If you don't exchange it quickly, some recovery measures will be taken. What's the point of simply strengthening it?
the answer is--
Artificial cell eggs want to cheat the coal turtle.
If ordinary means cannot get close, then it will use other means!
It used a Stand while the smoke from the explosion filled the field.
This action certainly lowered his own condition to a dangerous level, but it also made it impossible for Zhe to confirm which one was the real one and which one was the fake.
at the same time.
One of the artificial cell eggs approached the coal turtle, while the other stayed where it was.
It was difficult for Zhe to make an accurate judgment, so he simply took advantage of the fact that Coal Turtle was in good condition and used flamethrower for the third time!
Attack both together!
The towering pillar of fire attracted lava and fire bombs to fall, and the artificial cell egg was in danger!
Just waiting for this moment.
One of them managed to get close to the coal turtle.
The Coal Turtle suddenly felt a sense of crisis and decided to deal with the artificial cell eggs in front of him.
And Zhe also saw that the one in the distance suddenly raised its hand, and blue light emanated from its body, immediately ordering it to attack the one in the distance.
The Coal Turtle's attention was diverted, but he never thought that this move was called [Exchange of Venues].
The original body and the substitute exchanged positions, causing the artificial cell egg fake body to be hit by lava fire bombs, and the real body came next to the coal turtle.
"Share the pain!"
Shan Min had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
