Chapter 1225 That Detestable Seal
"The final showdown! Who will emerge victorious between Dragapult and Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
Pachira's words captivated everyone's attention.
Countless eyes were fixed on the billowing smoke, waiting for everything to settle down and for Deng Pei to enter and deliver his verdict.
On the big screen.
Close-up shots of Karuni and Kashiwagi were shown to everyone.
Compared to the stern-faced champion actress, the rising champion's expression seemed far too calm.
They seemed unconcerned about the outcome of the match.
This inevitably makes people wonder whether he is fearless or just putting on a brave face and unwilling to reveal his true emotions.
Many fans joked, "Maybe he has facial paralysis from fighting?"
Since video footage began, Kashiwagi has remained remarkably calm regardless of the Pokémon's condition, rarely displaying intense emotions.
Not only that, but the frequency and detail of his commands are far less than those of other trainers. In fact, it could be said that the stronger the trainer, the fewer commands he gives.
It's as if he's left all the decisions to Pokémon, and he's just a detached bystander.
In reality, everyone knows that aside from the initial instructions, Kashiwagi usually issues commands at more critical moments.
Such as a decisive attack, a comeback move; or when a Pokémon hesitates because of its opponent's decision and finds it difficult to make a firm judgment.
It wasn't that he was lazy, but rather that his tacit understanding with Pokémon had long since transcended words.
In most cases, the moves they prepare to use are the moves that Kashiwagi wants them to use.
Often, commands are given primarily to boost their confidence.
Moreover, the interaction between trainers and Pokémon is not solely based on voice; sometimes even the opponent's reaction can become a symbol of their mutual understanding.
Even if we take a step back and assume that the relatively independent fighting style of the dinosaurs actually stemmed from their thorough pre-match preparations.
Accustomed to acquiring relevant knowledge in daily life, preparing for the Masters Tournament a year in advance is the main theme of Kashiwagi's team. It is believed that by the second half of the year, Leon and others' Pokémon will be the most familiar things to them besides their partners.
One thing is certain: Kashiwagi's relationship with his Pokémon is comparable to that of the Jaeger duo in Pacific Rim, and everything is self-evident.
This combat style, which is similar to "telepathic understanding," is an important cornerstone of one of our future goals—"spiritual resonance."
Ever since Genji told him about this state, and the three-headed dragon had achieved it once, Kashiwagi had been pursuing a method to reliably trigger it.
Inside the venue.
The choking smoke dissipated with the wind.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the massive Tyrannosaurus Rex lay on its side, its eyes replaced by black circles.
The tall, slender Dorombalto's head hung low above it, deathly silent.
Just when everyone thought it had fainted, Doronbaluto suddenly raised its head and roared angrily along with the Doron siblings on either side of its head.
"Spit—!!"
"Hee hee!!"
Won!
Our victory!
Dorombalut's suppressed emotions were fully released, like a tightly twisted rope finally being untied.
The Duolong siblings also sang loudly with pride, equally excited to have defeated their powerful enemy.
"Humph."
A slight smile appeared on Kashiwagi's calm face.
Wow!
In an instant, cheers erupted from the audience like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
Applause and cheers resounded throughout the world!
Deng Pei raised his right hand, "The Tyrannosaurus Rex is unable to fight, Dragapult wins!"
"Kashiwagi wins another game! An unexpected result!"
Pachira had to admit that even she had thought there was a high probability that Dracobalut would be killed by Tyranitar.
This is because it used the Ghost-type [Sneak Attack], while the latter used the Dragon-type [Wide Area Destruction], which it was super effective against.
At worst, it's possible that both sides could suffer heavy losses, right?
Who knew that Dorombalto would have the last laugh!
She remarked with emotion, "A great reputation is well-deserved. In this highly anticipated championship showdown, Kashiwagi still holds the upper hand!"
The applause continued as everyone gazed at the big screen.
Deng!
The image of Tyranitar is dim, with only Mega Gardevoir still lit up, creating a striking contrast with Kashiwagi's fully lit lineup.
This is the championship match!
At this moment, all the trainers who had lost to Kashiwagi, including Cattleya who had almost developed a mental block, felt relieved.
It turns out it wasn't that I was too weak, it was that this guy was inhumanly strong!
"Get stronger again? Dan Emperor, your throne is starting to tremble again~" Kibana leaned lazily against the bench.
Next to him was Dan, who was in his everyday clothes, reading documents while watching the game.
The position of league president was much more demanding than he had imagined, and it slightly affected his daily training.
But for some reason, Charizard has been in unusually good condition lately.
This made him wonder if he had been practicing too frequently in the past and should have given his Pokémon more rest time.
Dan looked up at Qibana and smiled, "That would be perfect."
"...Tch, I hate that never-losing look on your face." Cibana scoffed. "Just you wait!"
He is currently ranked seventh among the master level, and he needs to move up one or two places to encounter the Pill Emperor.
However, his next opponent is Zhu Lan.
Defeat her, then defeat the Pill Emperor!
Qibana was full of confidence, and he was also thinking about how much of a chance he would have if he encountered Kashiwagi.
It's hard to say.
He had to admit that, in his eyes, Kashiwagi was now a formidable opponent who required the same level of preparation as Dante to challenge.
Cibana stared at the television screen, waiting for the next developments in the battle.
The scene at the Miare competition.
After making the judgment, Deng Pei quickly flew to a higher place to avoid affecting the match between the two sides.
After Dorombalut excitedly shouted that, he suddenly realized something, his body stiffened and his head slowly lowered, as if he wanted to use his tail to dig a hole in the ground.
The cheers from the audience did not make it feel comfortable; instead, they created a sense of pressure.
"Spit..."
It quickly disappeared.
Seeing this, Kashiwagi raised his hand, and the Poké Ball's recovery beam hit it precisely. "Idiot."
Does the Tyranitar's ability to heal through prayer indicate a crisis for the player?
Not at all!
If Dragapult is safe enough, it can use Dragon Arrows to shoot Monsterjaw Dragon from a distance while the main body dodges.
Want to pursue her? Go ahead and pursue her!
If I can't beat the giant demon skin, can't I at least beat a Tyrannosaurus Rex?
It's just that the Dinosaurs are eager to make a name for themselves, or perhaps they're worried about losing without achieving anything, just like the Pokémon that lost to Wallace back then.
It is impatient and loves to be alone. When it sees the Monster Jaw Dragon about to recover health and instantly turns "red-warm", it immediately rushes over to fight its opponent with bayonets without saying a word.
The ending is—
fast!
That's ridiculously fast!
A strong vision provided the driving force, which led to the prayer not having enough time to finish treating the monstrous Jaw Dragon before being killed by the tail of the dinosaur.
As for the [Wide-Area Destruction], it naturally also affected the dinosaurs.
The damage caused was not insignificant.
But why didn't Dorombalto fall down?
Because Lock of Health is not a unique ability of any Pokémon, Kashiwagi firmly believes that Dragapult, which yearns for victory, will never fall.
Even if its decision-making is relatively unreliable.
From forcing a trade with a self-inflicted "curse" that cost him three thousand lives, to later tacitly allowing him to charge forward and fight with "bayonets," it all reflects his trust in Dorambaruto.
If you dare to fight, you can win!
Therefore, Kashiwagi only commented that the dinosaur was too impatient and did not cherish itself at all in order to win faster.
Rather than harsher accusatory words like "reckless" or "careless".
'It hurts to be hit, but all Doronvale wants is to win.'
Kashiwagi took a deep breath, looked into the distance, retrieved the Jawed Dragon, and gazed at her Karuni with her phoenix eyes.
come on!
It's time to get to the very last moment!
Boom!
A flash of white light indicates the Poké Ball has been activated.
With its flowing gown, Mega Gardevoir stands amidst the scorched earth, resembling a white lotus blooming alone in the mud.
This is its third time entering the arena. Although it was cursed in the last round, it has not been greatly affected because it left the arena in time to remove the curse.
In contrast, the Happy Egg is in slightly worse condition.
With about a third of their stamina remaining, there's a chance they won't be able to withstand a [Mental Shock] if hit.
It may have an energy level as high as 90, but how much worse can the champion ace be after its super evolution?
"provocative!"
"provocative!"
Both sides made the same choice.
The two Pokémon quickly approached each other.
The success rate of taunting is naturally higher the closer you are to your opponent. If you are too far away, they won't know what you are doing, so how can they taunt you?
The distance closed in the blink of an eye.
It's clear that Mega Gardevoir moves much faster, but its Taunt is still used in sync.
"Sha na~"
Mega Gardevoir covered its mouth and laughed, while Blissey pressed its little hand against the corner of its mouth and pulled it upwards, revealing a faint black and red glow.
"Happy!"
The clash between mockery and fake laughter.
turn out--
“All provocations have failed! It seems neither of us can really provoke the other!” Pachira shouted.
A provocation that fails to provoke the other party's emotions is not a good provocation.
Just now, Karune suddenly called out to Gardevoir's mind, diverting some of its attention and preventing the fake smile from touching its heart.
Happy Eggs...
It had never gotten angry when it was bullied before, so it was even less likely to react to mere ridicule.
Its extraordinary blunt force is truly formidable!
Karune frowned. Both of her provocations had ended in failure. Was it a problem with her own Pokémon?
Judging from what just happened, there was nothing unusual about Mega Gardevoir's attack animation.
It's highly likely that the Lucky Egg possesses some kind of special ability.
It's a bit of a headache.
It's time to use some of our best tricks.
She quickly came up with another solution, calling out in her heart.
"Seal it with dance."
Mega Gardevoir's eyes lit up with a bright blue light, and it gracefully danced, piercing through the air as it landed on Blissey.
"Sha na~~"
"Happy?"
The latter saw the opponent's movements and sensed a surge of spiritual power. Was it a change of tactics? A special attack?
Many Psychic-type moves are used in very similar ways, resulting in a great deal of similarity in appearance. Mega Gardevoir deliberately obscures its movements.
Happy Egg is hesitant about whether to use a raw egg, or perhaps use Guardian to defend?
"Eggs."
The trainer's voice came, guiding the hesitant Blissey to the right path.
It silently hugged the nutritious egg in front of its belly.
"Happy~"
A sphere of brilliant white light formed above its head, gradually scattering shimmering green specks.
At the same time, its body surface glowed with a faint red light, forming a pattern resembling a no-passing sign.
Bai Mu immediately narrowed his eyes.
seal?
Gardevoir's new move?
He hadn't seen this move in Karuni's match records. Was it something he deliberately kept hidden until this critical moment?
By sacrificing some moves, you can recover enough stamina.
That's a bit of a loss.
However, even if I had used Protect, it wouldn't have made much difference, as Protect is ineffective against many variation moves.
Cypress remained silent.
Karuni felt she had made a great deal.
A single Psychic attack is enough to reduce Blissey's HP, but if the opponent uses Light Screen, or if it gets Taunted or its ability is swapped out...
That would put her in a very dangerous situation.
With only one Pokémon left, a high margin for error is urgently needed.
Pachira: "Gardevoir's seal is successful! Blissey takes the opportunity to recover its strength, and both sides make different decisions! Just how many moves has Blissey lost?"
The annoying thing about the [Seal] is that if you don't know what moves your opponent has, it's easy to fail to execute your moves frequently.
The margin for error in battles is already low, and there's absolutely no room for wasting a few opportunities.
Kashiwagi frowned slightly. He knew all the moves that Mega Gardevoir had used in public, except for those that were still hidden.
There are many overlaps with Blissey. Putting aside offensive moves, the move variations alone include [Thunder Wave], [Light Screen], [Reflect], etc. ...Most importantly, it includes [Protect].
It's a bit troublesome.
Kashiwagi gripped the Poké Ball. Dragapult was no longer able to fight, but he still had a third Pokémon in his possession.
The original intention was to have Blissey and Mega Gardevoir battle it out until the end.
Do you need it?
We have to use it.
Kashiwagi didn't hesitate for long. [Protect], [Light Wall], and [Psychic] could all be used as defensive moves, but without exception, they were all sealed.
This is not good news for the Lucky Eggs.
Karuni needs a margin for error, and so does he.
"Psychic shock!"
"Smaller."
Countless purplish-red orbs of light flew toward the Lucky Egg, which instantly shrank and then grew larger, dodging the light orbs with extremely abstract steps.
Bang bang bang bang——
The light projectiles kept hitting the air, kicking up clouds of smoke and dust.
Karuni didn't care, "Keep using mental attacks! It can't defend against many!"
The Mega Gardevoir gets better and better as the battle goes on, while Blissey gets more and more exhausted as it tries to dodge. The advantage is mine!
However, just as its eyes began to glow, a red light suddenly seized the Lucky Egg and took it back.
“Sha na…”
Mega Gardevoir was forced to stop.
However, it did not withdraw its spiritual power, waiting for the opponent's next Pokémon to appear before immediately using its move.
boom!
The smoke and dust had not yet cleared, and the familiar light shone brightly.
"Psychic shock!"
Countless purplish-red orbs of light shot out and plunged into the smoke to attack the opponent.
In Kashiwagi's Pokémon, only Hydreigon can block Psychic-type attacks.
But if he really sends out the three-headed dragon, Karuni will be laughing her head off.
Darkdragon is four times weaker to Fairy-types, making it utterly vulnerable!
Bang bang bang bang——
A series of explosions rang out.
In the thicker smoke, Mega Gardevoir and all the spectators watched with tension and anticipation.
call!
A pink storm is brewing!
The baby burst through the smoke and was exposed to everyone.
"Tsk-tsk~"
It landed lightly, instantly eliciting screams from countless spectators!
Miss!
Debut!
