Chapter 721 Breaking Shell Dragon Breath VS Iaijutsu 1st Flash!
In the audience, Xiao Wang's eyes widened in disbelief: "What?! A girl actually added him on social media?"
She even doubted whether she had seen it wrong. Was Ah Xun really that charming?
Or is it that girls nowadays just like this kind of naive and impulsive type?
Xiao Guang looked at him incredulously: "What... what kind of development is this? A case of 'no fight, no friendship'?"
Xiao Guang also wore a "senior citizen on the subway looking at their phone.jpg" expression, internally cursing:
"Hey blondie, you've really made something of yourself! You even managed to get a girl to add you as a friend after a fight! And it's the aloof type like Ayaka."
"Damn it, this conference was really worth it! You're living the good life now!"
Seeing this, Yulijia diligently took notes in her small notebook, muttering to herself:
"Speaking ill of a girl before a match will make her add you as a friend..."
"I've learned it! I'll teach my brother later!"
Upon hearing this, Citron broke out in a cold sweat and nearly fell off his seat, thinking:
"Girl, you can't remember it like that! You're omitting so much crucial information!"
Ash looked on innocently and said, "Isn't this great? Ash has made a new friend. Battles really do make people more connected!"
Serena whispered, "Actually, there are some differences."
Xiaoyun looked at Axun, who was still in a daze, shook her head, and sighed:
"That silly kid probably still doesn't understand what happened."
.......
Round of 16, second match.
Shota vs. Teerunorno.
The site is a wilderness area, full of sand and gravel, with a rugged environment.
When the two trainers came on stage, the atmosphere was completely different from the previous match.
"Tierno, nice to meet you."
Shota said politely.
Tierno smiled and even struck a dance pose: "Shota! The music is on, the stage is set! Let's have a spectacular dance battle!"
Shota nodded, his eyes serious: "I will do my best."
The referee announced: "The match begins!"
The two have completely different fighting styles.
Tierno is a trainer who combines dance and battle, and is a type of trainer who relies on improvisation.
Shota, on the other hand, has a solid and steady style, with every step carefully calculated.
The battle raged fiercely, with both sides exchanging blows and refusing to yield.
Soon, the battle reached a fever pitch.
Shota retrieved the Aegislash, which had lost its ability to battle, leaving him with only one Pokémon.
Next to Tierno is his Blastoise, which has already undergone Mega Evolution.
The two cannons on the back of Super Blastoise merge into one Italian cannon, and a small cannon barrel also rises from each of its wrists.
It looks like a mobile artillery emplacement, packed with firepower.
Tierno looked at the Mega Blastoise on the field. He had originally planned to put Raichu in the last position, but after watching Dawn's battle yesterday, he suddenly felt that going all in on Raichu was too risky.
What if, what if Shota is also a Ground-type? Then he'd be doomed.
Blastoise is still the safest bet.
Shota sent out his last partner:
"Lizard King, I'm begging you!"
The green lizard king makes its appearance, its arms covered in sharp, knife-like leaves, its eyes as piercing as an eagle's.
Shota looked in Xiaoyun's direction and said seriously:
"Senior Xiaoyun, I will show you my progress."
Then he held up the notebook in his hand, the bookmark of which was inlaid with a keystone.
"Sceptile King, Mega Evolution!"
A rainbow of light connects the trainer and the Pokémon, and Sceptile's form begins to change.
The blades on the arms are sharper, and the crown is more pointed.
The addition of red stripes to the original design makes it more intimidating.
Super Lizard King, here we come!
When Tierno saw the Mega Sceptile, he thought to himself, "Luckily, I didn't put Raichu last."
Whose lizard has the Lightning Rod evolution ability?! If you send Raichu in, isn't that just giving it away?
Blastoise, use Water Pulse!
Tierno launched the first attack, and at the same time began to sway rhythmically.
Super Blastoise fires its main cannon on its back and the small cannons on its hands simultaneously!
Three thick jets of water shot towards the Super Lizard King in a triangular formation, blocking all escape routes!
"Super Lizard King, dodge with Quick Attack, then use Leaf Blade!"
Shota gave steady command.
The Super Lizard King transformed into a green lightning bolt, dodging the water ripples in a zigzag pattern.
At the same time, the leaves on his wrist extended and transformed into energy blades, slashing towards Mega Blastoise!
"So fast!"
Tierno's eyes narrowed, but his dancing continued.
With a spinning motion, Super Blastoise understood perfectly, sidestepping and dodging the Leaf Blade as if dancing a waltz.
At the same time, the small cannon on his wrist fired two water ripples with a "bang".
At such close range, the Lizard King had no way to avoid it. It turned its blades and slashed down with force.
boom!boom!
The energy exploded, and the Lizard King was knocked back by the shockwave, sliding several meters on the ground before regaining its footing.
Tierno's command followed closely:
"Blastoise, Aura Sphere!"
Super Blastoise switches moves, and all three cannons light up with a pale blue glow!
boom!
The three wave missiles were launched in a fan shape, covering a very wide area!
"Intercept with Crazy Plants!"
Shota reacted.
"just!"
The Lizard King slammed its hands into the ground, unleashing a torrent of Grass-type energy into the earth!
Boom boom boom—!
Numerous thick thorns burst forth from the ground, dancing in the air like giant pythons!
The thorns intercepted and destroyed the three wave missiles in mid-air!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out one after another!
Then, the Lizard King continued to control the Crazy Plant, and the thorns surged wildly as if they were alive, stabbing towards Blastoise!
In the blink of an eye, half the field was covered with menacing thorns, like a thorny hell! Terrifying indeed!
"Blastoise, use a high-speed spin to create distance!"
Tierno quickly changed his tactics.
The water turtle retracted into its shell, which spun rapidly, and it flew backward like a drill, trying to escape the thorns.
But the thorns are spreading too fast, and the Lizard King is manipulating the crazy plants to keep advancing, and they will catch up soon!
There's no escaping it.
Tierunno's dance rhythm suddenly changes, with wide and sweeping movements:
Blastoise, use Shell Smash!
Cracks have appeared on the surface of the Super Blastoise's shell, as if it is really about to break!
Abandon defense in exchange for ultimate offense!
Its momentum suddenly intensified! Even the cannon barrel of Super Blastoise seemed to glow a little brighter!
"They're going all out."
Xiaoyun could see everything clearly from the sidelines.
When a tortoise breaks its shell, it's inevitably a sign that it's determined to win.
On the field, Tieluno shouted:
"And then, Dragon Pulse!"
"Camey!"
Super Blastoise aimed all three of its cannons at the densest area of the Crazy Plants, and the muzzles lit up with a noble dragon-type purple light!
With the added power of breaking free from its shell, this attack became terrifyingly powerful!
Roar!
Three dragon-shaped energy blasts roared out, intertwining and merging in the air to transform into an even larger energy dragon, which opened its massive mouth and let out a deafening roar!
Click click click!
The crazy plants were like a paper-thin, shoddy construction project in front of the dragon, easily torn apart!
A huge hole was forcibly torn open in the Thorn Hell! The energy dragon continued its unabated charge straight at the Lizard King!
"Super Lizard King, counter with Dragon Pulse!"
Shota chose to confront the issue head-on.
Shota knew he couldn't avoid it, so he had no choice but to face off against the most hardcore man!
"Let's eat!"
The Lizard King opened its mouth and unleashed a Dragon-type energy blast!
Although Dragon Pulse is a STAB move, compared to the combined power of Shell Smash and Mega Launcher, Shota's normal Dragon Pulse is like a small pipe pouring a waterfall.
A drop in the ocean!
The two Dragon Pulse attacks collided in mid-air!
The standoff lasted only a second!
The Lizard King's Dragon Pulse was instantly shattered!
Although the energy dragon was weakened, it still charged towards the Lizard King!
boom--!
Energy explosion!
The Lizard King quickly dodged to the side, but was still blasted away by the aftershock, sustaining numerous injuries.
Tierno assumed his starting stance once more, his eyes gleaming with disdain: "Second move, Dragon Pulse, to end the match!"
Blastoise raised the Italian cannon once more, the light from the muzzle converged again, and the countdown began.
Anyone with eyes can see that if this Dragon Pulse is unleashed, the battle will be over.
Given the Lizard King's current condition, it definitely can't withstand a second attack.
"This can't go on... Long-range bombardment is a form of slow suicide."
Looking at the panting Sceptile King and then at the Blastoise opposite him whose cannon light was growing brighter, Shota made a decision.
We must get close! If we can't win in a ranged battle, then we'll fight in melee!
You only get one chance!
"Sceptile, listen to my command, move towards Blastoise!" Shota shouted earnestly.
"just!"
The Lizard King's eyes narrowed, and he crouched slightly, like a compressed spring!
The next second, it shot out! Concentrating all its energy in its legs, it unleashed its maximum speed!
It transformed into a green streak of light, closing the distance to Blastoise almost instantly!
"Good! Instead of retreating, you're advancing! That's more like you, Shota!"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Tierno's eyes, but his hands continued moving:
"Blastoise, Dragon Pulse, fire!"
"Camey!"
Blastoise let out a low growl, and the energy in the cannon's muzzle was fully condensed!
Three dragon shadows, slightly smaller but more solid than before, roared and burst forth, forming a triangular shape to block the Super Lizard King's path of advance!
The Lizard King and the Dragon Shadow approached rapidly!
They're about to collide!
Shota shouted with all his might, "See through it!"
The Lizard King's eyes flashed with blue light, and its body made a Z-shaped tremor that defied Newton's laws while moving at high speed!
Like a butterfly flitting among flowers, it narrowly slipped through the gap between the three dragon shadows!
Boom!
The dragon's shadow exploded behind the Lizard King, the shockwave propelling it forward, but the Lizard King did not stop and continued charging towards Blastoise!
"Blastoise, quick, use Water Pulse..."
Tierno's pupils contracted, and he clearly panicked.
"late!"
Shota shouted with all his might, "Lizard King! Use that move!"
The Lizard King understood immediately, his eyes sharpening as he recalled the teachings he had received from that senior.
Your knife isn't fast enough, nor is it ruthless enough.
The knife is an extension of the arm, a manifestation of will.
Iaido is not drawing a sword, but cutting.
"just...."
The Lizard King's eyes narrowed, and he crossed his arms, beginning to gather power, with energy flowing and compressing along the blade.
At this moment, it had already rushed in front of Super Blastoise, and the blades on both arms slashed out at the same time!
Not one after the other, but simultaneously!
The two sword lights converged in the air, merging into an even more dazzling green sword light!
Iai Slash, with overlapping leaf blades!
Simplified version, Sky Soaring Dragon Flash!
"Camey!"
Blastoise hurriedly adjusted the cannon's muzzle, but the distance was too close, and it could only barely fire at close range!
The flash of swords and the flow of water erupted simultaneously!
Time seemed to stand still for a second.
Then, the blade sliced through the water and also cut through the Blastoise's body!
Click—!
A crisp cracking sound!
Boom! The water ripples exploded at extremely close range, splashing water everywhere!
Blastoise looked on in disbelief as it was forced to revert to its evolved state and collapsed.
One cut and it's done!
After the referee confirmed, he announced loudly:
"Blastoise is unable to battle! Therefore, the winner is Shota!"
Shota won!
He was panting heavily when he looked at the Lizard King, who was also panting but had bright eyes, and smiled.
"We won, Lizard King."
"Let's eat!"
The Lizard King smiled and withdrew from Mega Evolution.
That move of yours is really not easy to master; I almost failed.
But... it feels so good to succeed!
Tierno recalled Blastoise, shaking his head with a wry smile: "Wow, Shota... I didn't even have time to react to that attack."
Shota stood up and shook hands with Tierno: "Thank you. Your dance tactics are amazing. I almost couldn't keep up."
The two shook hands and smiled at each other.
Although we are competitors, we are also friends who respect each other.
Xiaoyun also clapped: "The energy control and timing of this strike were excellent; it's already showing promise."
It's a pity that Shota has the Sceptile's Sharp ability, otherwise this strike could have been even stronger.
Ash also remarked, "Yes, everyone has grown so much, Ash, Shota, and Serena... everyone is getting stronger."
Xiao Guang looked at the screen, which already displayed the matchups for the next game.
Xiao Guang vs. Serena.
.......
A moment later, the arena below.
The site has been transformed into a forest, lush and green, with tall trees arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern.
However, rather than changing venues, the audience was clearly more interested in the two female trainers on the command platforms on both sides.
Xiao Guang wore a smart white sports jacket paired with a dark blue skirt, and her blue ponytail was tied up high, exuding confidence and composure.
Serena had shoulder-length flaxen hair and wore an exquisite little dress. Unlike usual, she wore a colorful necklace around her slender neck, which added a touch of mystery to her temperament.
The showdown between two beautiful girls is interesting enough, let alone the fact that they are good friends.
Hmm, that's even more exciting.
"We've finally got this match! Who do you think will win?"
Ah Xun, meanwhile, sat with his legs crossed, crunching away on a bag of potato chips, a typical example of someone who loves watching a good show.
Ash immediately replied, "It must be Serena. Serena works very hard."
"That's not right. Although Serena had a good record in the previous battles, Hikari is a trainer who has traveled to many regions and is very experienced."
Xiaowang naturally supports Xiaoguang, and besides, she doesn't think Serena can really compare to Xiaoguang.
Citron said seriously, "The competition has little to do with travel time. It's a contest of strength between the two sides. It depends on who can bring out their advantages."
Ah Xun retorted, "It's all about strength. Xiao Guang's strength is such that even I have to give him a wide berth, so the result speaks for itself."
Ash crossed his arms in dissatisfaction:
"But Serena works really hard too! She trains until very late every day for this tournament!"
"Oh ho, dare to bet?"
Ah Xun's eyes lit up, as if he had found something to amuse him:
"How about we have a little prize? The loser treats the winner to a deluxe player's meal!"
The deluxe set meal is a top-of-the-line package that includes berry salad, Pokémon cubes, a special beverage, and a trainer's nutritional meal, and it comes at a hefty price.
Without hesitation, Ash went all in: "I'll bet! I'm betting on Serena to win!"
“Then I’ll choose Xiaoguang,” Ah Xun immediately replied, as if afraid the other party would change their mind.
Xiao Wang raised his hand: "I definitely support Xiao Guang."
"I agree with Serena."
After hesitating for three seconds, Citron decided to set aside the theory and offer his friendly support.
Yulijia jumped up and raised her hand: "I also support Serena!"
Well, the casinos opened in no time, and political parties started forming along the way.
Xiaoyun looked at this group of clowns and her lips twitched slightly.
It has to be you guys.
