Chapter 1281 Water Snake and Seahorse
Quartz venue.
After a brief silence.
The lively atmosphere quickly returned, and A-du's supporters shouted themselves hoarse, trying to give A-du strength.
"The Dragon's Messenger! The Dragon's Messenger!"
"King of Change! King of Change!"
Two different kinds of shouts rose and fell in the huge arena, as if the louder their voices were, the higher the chance of their chosen team winning.
Inside the arena.
Kashiwagi and Watari's eyes met again.
The ground between the two sides was gradually becoming pitted and uneven after a fierce battle.
At the cost of revealing Porygon II's hidden trump card, they successfully defeated the "Flying King" Shiny Gyarados.
In Kashiwagi's opinion, it was enough to make a profit.
Aside from the attribute advantages brought by its texture, Porygon II is actually inferior to Shiny Gyarados in all aspects.
This can be seen from the fact that the opponent withstood the electromagnetic cannon with four times the effect, and was paralyzed but still managed to launch a fierce attack and almost achieved the tactical objective.
Even without the significant weakness of electric properties, it's uncertain whether Porygon II's dual electromagnetic cannons could defeat it.
Hopefully, the next two will also go smoothly.
Cypress breathed smoothly.
next moment.
He and A-du made almost the same move—
Recall the Pokémon in the field and release the second Pokémon.
"An exchange! It's happened! Kashiwagi's strategy to preserve his combat strength!" The host's eyes lit up slightly.
This person's fondness for swapping is also well-known, quite unlike other champions' habits of "not leaving the court if they can continue playing" and "swapping only after a defeat".
According to statistics, since Kashiwagi became the world's most famous champion, trainers in various regions have seen an increase in various aspects, such as the battle exchange rate and the usage rate of variant moves.
In a way, cypress wood has also led the trend of the times.
Boom!
Two crisp sounds.
In front of Kashiwagi was a Shiny Milotic, while Lance sent out Kingdra, which was suspended on the ground.
"Miro~"
"Dooo-woo—"
Most Dragon-type Pokémon possess the ability to stay airborne, and Kingdra is no exception.
Kashiwagi was slightly surprised; it wasn't a three-headed dragon or a fossil pterosaur.
According to his research on Lance, Hydreigon is the dragon he has used most often in recent years, besides Dragonite and Gyarados.
Fossilized pterosaurs were among his most frequently used companions in his early years.
King Thorn Dragon...
Compared to other Pokémon, like Dragapult in Kashiwagi's team, its presence is relatively weak.
A-Du smiled.
Kingdra was the Pokémon chosen to deal with Kashiwagi.
Most people might find it hard to understand, but after watching several battles, A-Du, like Karuni, made some discoveries—
Cypress wood may be associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
He almost never sends out the same Pokémon he used in the previous match in a subsequent public game.
Based on this characteristic, A-du developed relevant tactical plans.
Sure enough, he made the right bet.
Shiny Milotic is indeed one of Kashiwagi's choices; using Kingdra to deal with it is the perfect solution.
"A Water-type Milotic versus a Water/Dragon-type Kingdra! Lance has the type advantage!"
The host voiced the public's sentiment, "But Milotic possesses powerful Fairy-type moves, so how will the battle unfold? Let's wait and see!"
The words fell.
"Coiled up".
"Please rain!"
Both sides issue instructions simultaneously.
King Thori raised his tubular mandibles and summoned a torrential downpour.
Milotic curls up into a ball, increasing its attack power, defense, and accuracy.
Rain clouds gather.
In the blink of an eye, the water droplets turned into sparse, scattered droplets that flowed down, dimming the light in the entire venue.
Kingdra's ability is "Free Movement," which greatly enhances its mobility. This is also the main reason why Lance, knowing that the opponent has the Water attribute and is resistant to the Water attribute, still chose to summon Rain Cloud.
Both sides completed one phase of reinforcement.
The probing attack has begun.
"Dragon Wave!"
"tornado."
The Thorn Dragon King took a deep breath and suddenly spewed out crimson and azure dragon flames forward!
boom!
Amidst the deafening roar, the surging flames formed a ferocious dragon's head.
Then, friction with the air produced a continuous, deafening roar, which rushed towards Milotic's gorgeous off-white body!
"Miro~"
Milotic remained calm, its tail fin snapping into a propeller that spun rapidly, whipping up a tornado of azure flames to meet the oncoming Dragon Pulse!
In an instant, the two sides clashed!
Long!
The air vibrated at the point of impact!
The expected explosion did not occur; Milotic's tornadoes held back the dragon's energy fluctuations with incredible stability.
A low-power, non-Style move can contend with a high-power Style move!?
The audience gasped in surprise, and the host also found it somewhat unbelievable. Who exactly is the Dragon-type Pokémon?
Adu frowned. "This Milotic is indeed of a very high level."
There are many videos online documenting Milotic's moves, but what puzzles him is Milotic's growth trajectory.
Before the battle against Cattleya, Milotic's performance was at best amazing, but in that battle, Milotic displayed a power that was completely different from the past.
The subsequent battle with Carlos's Four Heavenly Kings, Zimi, also proved this point.
It's as if he transformed from a weak, skilled individual into someone who excels in both skill and ability.
Prominent to...
Even King Thorn Dragon's Dragon Pulse can be easily caught by a tornado!
"Miro!"
Milotic shouted loudly, and its increased accuracy allowed it to manipulate tornadoes more precisely, enabling it to employ an offensive-defense tactic.
Once you perfectly parry your opponent's moves, the moment to counterattack will arrive!
It whipped its tail with all its might!
Long! !
The tornado, carrying the Dragon Pulse of the King of Thorns, turned against its creator and attacked it!
"Dowoo!"
The Thorn Dragon King's eyes brightened slightly, and the water beneath him rippled and splashed, causing it to suddenly disappear from its spot.
Its ability to move freely and easily was not just for show; it successfully avoided attacks from itself.
The tornado grazed past it, and the ruthless dragon's head roared out of the field, crashing straight into the wall that had activated the protective device, exploding into choking smoke and dust.
The shockwave ruffled Adu's hair and cloak, and his gaze became somewhat profound.
It seems that special attack techniques are no longer effective.
"Continuous displacement! Scale attack!"
Adu lifted his cloak.
The scales on King Thorn Dragon's body shone, but the light did not leave its body; instead, it flowed into its long, gun-like beak.
Then, as it raced quickly across the field, it sprayed out one bullet after another!
Bang bang bang!
What was originally a shotgun-like attack, in Kingdra's unique release form, became a sniper armor-piercing bullet, hitting Milotic from multiple directions before Milotic could react!
"Miro!"
Amidst the bursts of smoke, Milotic groaned softly.
Its physical defense is not as good as its special defense, but since it used Coil to increase its defense before, Scale Shot is not a difficult move for it to block.
Seeing that the scales were effective, A-du wanted to keep trying.
"Scale shot!"
Who knows what will happen next?
Suddenly, a light blue ring rose around Milotic, protecting it within.
Cypress: "Water flows around."
Green light merged into its body, restoring the strength it had lost due to the scales.
The next wave of deep purple scales roared in, and this time one of them successfully hit Midas, while the rest were blocked by the water ring.
A-Du thought that the scales would break through it directly, but he never expected that once the scales touched the water ring, the impact force would be worn away by the force of the water ring.
Having lost their driving force, the scales naturally became captives of the water flow.
"Milotic used Water Ring to block Scale Shot! Isn't that Adam and Mikkuri's signature move?"
The host exclaimed in surprise.
Mikkuri had hosted the Mikkuri Cup in Kanto many times, so he naturally knew Mikkuri and was quite familiar with his Milotic.
Does the Milotic of Kashiwagi also possess this skill?
It can only be said that Mikuri and Adam have an extremely strong ability to protect their information; to this day, very few people know that Kashiwagi once studied at the Ruri Dojo.
Even his past role as a temporary Gym Leader was known only to a few challengers; the information had long been sealed by the Hoenn League and the Orei League.
Adu fell into deep thought.
Was their offensive easily thwarted once again?
The variety of bizarre and varied moves is truly overwhelming.
Let's take a gamble.
He confidently commanded, "Meteor Shower!"
Despite Gyarados having recently been tricked by Porygon II's Substitute attack, Lance remained as composed as a champion.
It's a battle.
Go all out when you need to go, gamble when you need to gamble!
No child cries every day, and no Pokémon loses every day!
"Dowoo!"
The Thorn Dragon King raised its head, and a dark purple light shone from its chest and abdomen. Suddenly, it unleashed a huge ball of light!
chirp——
The ball of light roared and shot straight into the sky, instantly exploding into countless deep purple, dazzling light arrows that crashed down on Milotic like cannonballs falling from the sky!
Boom boom boom!
The earth trembled, and smoke billowed up!
Milotic made no unnecessary movements; its form was instantly engulfed by the meteor shower, and the water rings around it dissipated as well.
It seemed unable to withstand the terrifying power of the meteor shower!
King Thorn Dragon's body glowed with a blue light that indicated a decrease in its power, but Lance ignored it and was even a little excited.
"The opportunity has arrived! Charge in and assassinate the Dragon King! Ouch!"
That's right.
The purpose of the meteor shower is to provide cover, allowing Kingdra to get close to Milotic and put him to sleep by yawning.
If successful, Awato believed that Kashiwagi would inevitably choose to exchange, at which point he could take advantage of the Free Movement effect to launch an attack on Kashiwagi's third one and gain the upper hand.
let's go!
I can also use variation moves!
A-Du watched expectantly as the Thorn Dragon King charged into the smoke, while the meteor shower was still falling.
After all, it's a move meant to cover for it; ending it too easily would expose King Thorn Dragon's actions...
A-Du's smile suddenly froze on his face.
As the Kingdra approached, the smoke was dispersed, and its yawning breath blew forward.
He saw the colorful light film shining on the surface of Minas's body.
Specular reflection?
Do not!
It's a mysterious guardian!
Milotic's ability to withstand the meteor shower and activate its Mystic Guardian was clearly a prediction of his own!
A milky white stream of air blew in.
Despite the pain, Milotic smiled, its tail lashing out like a venomous snake waiting for its prey to take the bait!
The Thorn Dragon King's pupils trembled, and it quickly retreated in an attempt to evade.
But Milotic's improved accuracy isn't for nothing; it greatly enhances its precision in gameplay, even if it can't catch Kingdra.
Anything that can hinder their actions will suffice!
Because its main idea is—
"Hypnosis!"
Following Kashiwagi's command, Milotic's eyes lit up with a pinkish-purple light, and its tail tripped Kingdra's tail, slowing its retreat.
The light wave was released, enveloping King Thorn Dragon, and its sharp eyes began to soften.
"The yawn failed! The hypnosis was successful! An amazing reversal!"
The host shouted excitedly.
All of this happened so quickly that many viewers didn't realize what was happening until they heard his voice.
Adu's Kingdra used a meteor shower as cover to launch a surprise attack on Milotic.
It failed!
Not only did it fail, it also hypnotized me in return!
A-Du's tactics have been completely seen through!
Many of Adu's fans were heartbroken, feeling that this battle was completely different from any they had seen before.
Where's the thrill of moves clashing?
What about all sorts of exciting, large-scale scenes?
How did it become a realm of tactics and strategy, of prediction and counter-prediction? Pokémon battles shouldn't be like this!
A-Du: "..."
Do you think I didn't want this?
He quickly pulled out a Poké Ball, ready to replace Kingdra.
Why was his strategy seen through by Kashiwagi? He really couldn't understand it.
Little did he know that his unusual behavior would give him away.
Lance's tactics have always been bold and decisive, either attacking or losing cleanly and efficiently. His Pokémon are also known for their powerful moves.
Therefore, when his Pokémon reduces the power of its moves, there must be some kind of unspeakable secret.
Like the previous storm.
The time was deliberately extended, just to blow Polygon II into the sky in exchange for a chance to climb the waterfall.
This time, he also stretched out the meteor shower.
There must be something fishy!
Kashiwagi couldn't guess exactly what it would be for the time being, but his intuition told him that he should be wary of any abnormal status.
As for why we don't use defense to prevent it, we can only say that we can't afford to repeat the same mistake we've already made.
A-Du clearly didn't learn anything smart.
"Tightly bound".
Kashiwagi continued to issue orders.
Milotic swam up and used its body to block Lance's Poké Ball beam as he retrieved the Pokémon.
The Kashiwagi family's Pokémon have specifically trained in this.
After all, animated battles are different from game battles. In a game, as long as you're not affected by the "cannot escape" status, you can switch characters however you want.
In animated battles, if the Poké Ball's recovery beam misses, you'll never be able to recover it successfully.
In a sense, this can be considered manually applying the "cannot escape" status to the opponent.
The sleeping King Thorn Dragon has been controlled.
Milotic looked at his sleeping opponent, forgetting the pain of being bombarded by the meteor shower, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Miro~"
"Night Talk! Wake up, Dragon King!"
"The alluring voice."
The instructions from both sides have been received.
Milotic made the first move, unleashing a pastel-colored sonic wave towards the nearby King Thorndra.
The Thorn Dragon King trembled violently and took a deep, painful breath.
"Woo!!"
It forcefully spewed out scorching dragon flames from its mouthparts, blasting them onto Milotic's body that was entangled with it!
It's the Dragon Pulse!
At this moment, A-Du's luck turned around!
Bang bang!
Two plumes of smoke exploded, representing the results of the two Pokémon's attacks.
"Miro!"
Milotic was in great pain.
Even with its excellent Special Defense and high level support, it still suffered a bit from taking two hits from Kingdra.
Fortunately, Kingdra's special attack was significantly reduced due to the meteor shower...
"Take it! The alluring voice!"
Kashiwagi gave another order.
The Kingdra, writhing in agony, slowly awoke; the hypnosis hadn't allowed it to sleep until the end of the match.
Unfortunately, the difference isn't that significant.
The pastel-colored sound waves rushed towards it head-on, and it stared wide-eyed.
Boom! !
The bright light shattered the rain curtain!
