Chapter 729 Young man, you can't handle this!
"Comet Fist!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiaoye unleashed her killing move once again.
Lucario's right short rod dissipated, and all the Aura power converged into his fist, forming a giant energy gauntlet!
It unleashed a punch, the wind of which howled!
King Naboo quickly used his wings to protect his chest.
"Nabo!"
Emperor Naboo screamed as he was struck squarely by the punch, his entire body flying backward.
"What exactly is this energy of yours? You're cheating, aren't you?"
Ah Xun's face turned ugly.
Without that thing's blessing, Lucario on his own would definitely not be a match for Emperor Naboo.
"You think everyone's as shameless as you? Lucario, bring on another Comet Punch!"
Xiao Ye responded coldly, waving his arm:
Upon hearing this, Lucario once again mobilized the Aura within his body, and then his body trembled!
The once surging wave power dissipated at a visible speed, and the pale blue light on the surface of the body quickly dimmed.
Lucario looked down at his hands, then sensed the energy within his body, and was completely dumbfounded:
"Luca..." (Oh no, I've run out of power...)
"Oh no, why now?"
When Xiaoye saw Lucario looking like it had "not a drop left," her heart skipped a beat.
His worst fears came true.
"Although we don't know what happened, it seems that the balance of power is about to shift!"
Ah Xun's eyes lit up. He wasn't stupid; he knew his chance had come.
"Emperor Naboo, unleash the maximum power of the Wave Surge!"
"Nabo!"
Emperor Naboo roared to the sky, unleashing astonishing water-based energy from his entire body!
Boom!
The entire penguin suddenly erupted! Like a heavy truck, it charged out with destructive force!
"Lucario, use Comet Punch!"
Lucario gritted its teeth, trying to mobilize some of its aura power, but its body was truly empty.
Left with no other choice, it could only rely on its own strength and grit its teeth to meet the challenge head-on.
boom! ! !
Without the power of Aura, Lucario was completely unable to resist Emerald Naboo and was overwhelmed by the opponent.
That punch made him realize the importance of the blue bar!
Boom boom boom!
Lucario was pushed backward and flew off, rolling on the ground before crashing heavily into the wall at the edge of the arena, its eyes turning into the shape of mosquito coils.
KO!
The referee announced the result: "Lucario is unable to battle. The winner of this match is, Asuka!"
Saya silently recalled Lucario, her expression complex.
Ah Xun walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a tone of "being there, being there":
"Brother, listen to my advice. It's just one game, losing doesn't mean anything."
Xiaoye looked up at him, somewhat surprised. This blond guy... came to comfort him?
Ah Xun said earnestly, "Those external forces are all virtual; there are some things you can't control."
Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and a feeling of being moved suddenly welled up in her heart.
Although this blond guy has a foul mouth, he seems like a decent person...
Then he heard Ah Xun continue:
"So tell me what that power you just used was, and I can handle it!"
Xiaoye: "…….."
He stared at Ah Xun expressionlessly, his lips twitching slightly.
What the hell is he expecting?! How could this blond guy suddenly change his personality?!
Xiaoye took a deep breath, then turned and left without even saying a word.
Ah Xun called from behind, "Hey, hey, don't go! Share it!"
"We're all trainers, shouldn't we exchange experiences?"
Xiaoye walked even faster.
.........
The fierce battle continued on the subsequent field.
At this moment on the field, Alain's Charizard opened its mouth wide, spewing out scorching flames!
"Flame Jet!"
boom--!
The crimson flames, like an enraged dragon, instantly engulfed Louis's Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex!
boom!
When the flames subsided, the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex had already staggered to the ground, its eyes now resembling mosquito coils.
"Badass!"
Louis, dressed in striped clothing, shouted.
The referee raised his flag and announced, "Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex is incapacitated!"
At this moment, on the big screen, the icons of all five Pokémon belonging to Louis have dimmed.
On Alain's side, there was only one Metagross that was gray, giving them a clear advantage.
Ai Lan looked at Louis, her expression calm: "Shall we continue?"
The question was asked in a very ordinary way, but to Louis it sounded incredibly sarcastic.
Louis's face flushed instantly: "Are you pitying me? What a joke!"
Louis has his dignity too! Even if he loses, he should lose with dignity!
Louis was furious and immediately threw out his last Poké Ball.
"strong!"
A majestic Garchomp appeared on the field.
It has a shark-like appearance, its entire body is covered with dark blue scales, its arm fins are as sharp as knives, and its eyes are fierce.
"Go, Ah Yao, show your strength!"
"Mega Evolution!"
Louis waved the wooden umbrella ribs in his hand, and the keystone at the top of the ribs shone brightly!
"strong!"
Garchomp roared, its body expanding to a whole size, its arm fins transforming into even larger scythes, its body covered in ferocious bone spikes, and the entire Pokémon exuding a terrifying aura.
Super Garchomp!
"Super Garchomp? I remember you."
Alain looked at Mega Garchomp and then remembered that it was one of his defeated opponents.
Upon hearing this, Louis's anger flared up: "You really dare to talk back, you arrogant bastard! You only remember me now? You really don't respect me at all!"
Ailan calmly explained, "Your Garchomp is quite distinctive; I remember it."
These were polite words, but they only made Louis angrier.
What do you mean? If it weren't for Garchomp, he would have been completely forgotten?
Louis nearly choked, and abruptly swung the umbrella ribs:
"Enough with the nonsense! Ah Yao, Long Xingqun!"
"strong!"
Garchomp tilted its head back to the sky, gathering terrifying energy in its mouth, which then shot into the sky as a giant energy ball!
boom! boom! boom!
Then the energy ball exploded hundreds of meters in the air, turning into countless fiery meteors that fell to the ground!
Watching the falling dragon stars, Ai Lan calmly raised his arm:
"Respond to my heart, Charizard! Mega Evolve!"
"Ow!"
Under the light of evolution, Charizard roared to the sky, its wings grew wider and turned blackish-blue, and blue flames spilled from its mouth.
A black dragon spreads its wings and soars into the sky!
With a dragon's roar, the X Black Dragon took flight.
"Dragon Claw!"
Ai Lan was behind him, his hand in a claw shape, pressing down hard.
At the same time, Charizard X's claws instantly transformed into two enormous energy dragon claws!
With a flap of its wings, it charged towards the falling dragon stars, its blue dragon claws striking out repeatedly, shattering all the attacks.
Explosions rang out one after another, and fireworks burst in the sky!
In the audience, Ash's eyes lit up:
"Such precise control! Every claw strikes the spot where the energy is most concentrated."
On the field, Louis seized the opportunity: "Now! Dragon God Dive!"
Garchomp locked its gaze on Charizard, unleashing terrifying Dragon-type energy from its entire body! A massive dragon-shaped phantom formed around its body!
Dragon God Dive, Activate!
It transformed into a streak of blue light, carrying a dragon-shaped phantom, and lunged at the fire-breathing dragon!
Ai Lan's eyes narrowed: "Dragon Claw, block it!"
"Whoosh-!"
The fire-breathing dragon roared, crossed its arms in front of its chest, and its energy claws instantly doubled in size!
Boom! ...
The dragon god swoops down and collides head-on with the dragon claw!
An energy burst forth, and a shockwave swept across the area!
To everyone's astonishment, the Charizard's claws were firmly gripping the mouth of the dragon-shaped phantom!
Garchomp was greatly shocked.
"Fierce..." (What kind of power is this? Its dragon god's dive can even smash a hole in a mountain!)
"Just throw it out like that!"
Ai Lan gave the order calmly.
Upon receiving the command, the fire-breathing dragon gripped the dragon-shaped phantom tightly with its claws, its shoulder muscles bulging, and then... it swung it forcefully!
"Awooo!" (Let's go!)
Garchomp, along with its dragon-shaped phantom, was thrown out!
boom!
Louis shouted anxiously, "Aww, don't give up! Dragon Pulse!"
Mega Garchomp gritted its teeth, opened its mouth, and Dragon-type energy began to gather...
But just then, a dark shadow rushed towards it at an astonishing speed!
It's a Charizard!
It had flown to Garchomp without anyone noticing, and the dragon claw energy in its right claw was gathering once more!
"Ow!"
The dragon claw gripped Garchomp's neck tightly!
Garchomp: "Garuda?!" (What?!)
It tried to struggle, but the Charizard was too strong and couldn't break free!
Charizard grabbed Garchomp, swooped down, and slammed it hard into the ground!
Boom! ...
Garchomp was slammed into the ground, creating a huge dragon-shaped crater!
As the smoke cleared, Garchomp lay at the bottom of the pit, its eyes now resembling mosquito coils, its Mega Evolution automatically deactivated.
The referee ran over to check, then raised the flag: "Garuda is unable to battle! The winner is, Alain!"
The audience was silent for a few seconds, then burst into enthusiastic applause!
"That's incredible!"
"Complete crushing victory!"
"Is this the power of a top expert?"
Alain calmly recalled his Charizard, nodded to the referee, and then turned and left the arena.
Louis stood on the field, watching Ai Lan's departing figure, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
But he eventually sighed and recalled Garchomp.
"A loss is a loss."
..........
"Alan's strength is still so great."
Ash watched Alain's departing figure and exclaimed in sincere admiration.
"There has indeed been progress compared to before."
Xiaoyun sat next to her, leaning lazily against the back of her chair, holding a bucket of freshly bought popcorn in her hand.
The battle lasted too long; it made him hungry.
"Does Xiaoyun know Ai Lan too?"
Ash turned his head curiously.
"I played one match when I first came to Carlos, and I won by luck."
Xiaoyun casually took out a few pieces of popcorn and handed them to Pikachu.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu happily took it and nibbled on it in small bites.
No one was surprised by Xiaoyun's words.
Given Xiaoyun's skill level, it's normal for her to win. It would be news if she lost.
Ah Xun curled his lip and said, "Tch, this guy's putting on an act again."
Although he said that, he was actually very nervous. Just watching Alain's Charizard power made his scalp tingle.
If it were him facing off, hmm... I feel like I'm doomed.
Just then, the broadcast came on:
"The final match of the quarterfinals will be between Xiao Zhi and Xiu Di! Both players, please assemble at the venue as soon as possible!"
"Oh ho, Pikachu, it's our turn to make our appearance!"
Upon hearing the broadcast, Ash immediately jumped up, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"Pikachu! Pikachu!" (Charge!)
Pikachu jumped off Xiaoyun's shoulder, did a three-and-a-half-turn in the air, and landed steadily on Xiaozhi's shoulder.
The two of them rushed towards the arena.
........
After a while, on the field.
Emperor Xiu had been waiting on the command platform for a long time. Seeing Xiao Zhi arrive late, he frowned.
You're going to be late.
"Oh? Sorry, I almost got lost just now."
Xiao Zhi scratched his head sheepishly, realizing he'd gone the wrong way and run outside.
Clemont was both amused and exasperated: "Ash is performing as consistently as ever."
Serena sighed and facepalmed, "As expected of Ash!"
Xiaoyun was more casual: "It's okay, the competition hasn't started yet anyway. This is called tactical lateness, putting psychological pressure on us in advance."
On the field, Xiu Di was somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing Xiao Zhi's explanation:
"Knowing the match time, you should wait in the athlete tunnel in advance; this is a basic courtesy of trainers."
"Not even being able to arrive on time is disrespectful to the competition."
Ash and Pikachu immediately bowed and apologized:
"Smith Marseille!" "Pikachu!"
Emperor Xiu was taken aback by the sudden bow, opened his mouth, but ultimately kept it closed.
"……never mind."
For a moment, Xiu Di lost his temper. He wasn't really angry; he just felt that Xiao Zhi's casual attitude needed to be corrected.
As a meticulous trainer, he simply couldn't understand why someone would forget the match time.
Beside them, the referee asked in a low voice, "May we begin?"
Before Emperor Xiu could speak, Xiao Zhi raised his head, his eyes rekindling with fighting spirit:
"Come on, I can't wait!"
Looking at Xiao Zhi's appearance, Xiu Di shook his head helplessly.
This guy, I really don't know what to say, his emotions switch so quickly.
The referee raises his flag: "The game begins!"
"Go, Arrowhawk!"
"Wow—!"
The eagle soared to the sky and cried out, its voice sharp and high-pitched.
It flapped its wings, circled once in the air, and then landed steadily in mid-air in front of Ash.
On the field, Xiu Di saw the Fierce Arrow Eagle, but his expression remained calm.
He threw his Poké Ball:
"Go, Boom Pheasant."
A male pheasant appeared on the field.
It has brightly colored feathers, a crest on its head that stands tall, and a haughty look in its eyes.
"Boom!" (Hey little red bird over there, mind your manners.)
The pheasant preened the feathers on its chest with its wings, speaking arrogantly.
The Fiery Eagle's eye twitched: "Screech?" (This chicken...it's so annoying.)
"Fierce Arrow Eagle, Return of the Swallow!"
Ash launched the first attack.
"Wow!"
The Fiery Arrow Eagle cried out and transformed into a crimson streak of light, rushing towards the Roaring Pheasant!
They were so fast that they rushed in front of the opponent almost the instant Ash gave the order!
This is the special effect of the Gale Wings!
The pheasant was startled: "Boom?!" (So fast?!)
Before it could fully engage in battle, the Arrowhawk had already charged right up to it!
"Boom—!"
With a loud bang, the pheasant let out a miserable cry and was knocked back several steps by the blow.
"hateful……"
Emperor Xiu's face darkened: "Boom Pheasant, unleash the Air Blade!"
Despite the pain, the pheasant flapped its wings, and sharp wind blades condensed on them as it slashed at the Fiery Arrow Eagle!
But the Arrowhawk is too fast!
With a gentle flap of its wings, it dodged the wind blades and circled around to the side of the Roaring Pheasant.
"Now! Brave Bird, attack!"
Xiao Zhi seized the opportunity.
"Wow—!"
The Fiery Arrow Eagle burst into blue flames, transforming into a giant flaming eagle, and crashed into the Roaring Pheasant once more!
This time, the power was even greater than before! The flames left long trails of fire in the air, creating a stunning visual effect!
The pheasant tried to dodge, but its speed was no match for the arrow eagle!
boom--! ! !
"BOOM—!!!"
The pheasant was sent flying by the blow, crashing heavily to the ground, its eyes turning into the shape of mosquito coils.
The referee ran over to check, then raised the flag:
"The pheasant is incapacitated! The Arrowhawk wins!"
