Chapter 1214 Pre-match Warm-up
No, wait a minute!
what's the situation!
Minami opened her mouth wide, then her shoulders slumped down limply.
"I should have guessed..."
With Karuni's looks and status, she could have started a relationship five hundred years ago if she really wanted to, why wait until now?
He could at least use the excuse of collecting photos and autographs for Kashiwagi when he proactively sought her out during the day. But why did he offer to cook dinner for her? Did they become so close on their very first day of meeting?
Minami initially thought that Karune had taken a liking to Kashiwagi.
result……
It doesn't seem to be much different?
What they valued was Kashiwagi's combat prowess as a trainer.
"Shadow sneak attack!"
"Plop~"
The Pokémon, which looks like a jack-o'-lantern, slipped into the shadows, and countless black and purple spikes suddenly shot out of the ground in the next moment!
Swish swish!
With a sharp whooshing sound, the Galar Coral was forcibly suspended in mid-air as if pierced by countless spears.
"voice!"
It groaned softly.
The champion's Pokémon is definitely different from the ordinary ones; its damage is significantly higher!
Fortunately, it's tough enough with its Evolution Stone to withstand it!
Under the dim moonlight, the tide surged and roared.
"Plop~"
The pumpkin monster's figure flickered like a ghost, appearing and disappearing intermittently, making it impossible to pinpoint its exact location.
After all, nighttime is the most suitable environment for Ghost-type Pokémon.
While the sun coral is also a ghost, it did not follow the same pattern of disappearing after hitting the ground.
It boldly used its enhancement skills.
"meditation."
"Throat~"
The surface of the sun coral shimmered with the gentle glow of rippling water.
Karuni couldn't help but laugh, "That's quite a bold move."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Pumpkin Monster suddenly appeared behind the Sun Coral, its hair-like tentacles wreathed in black and purple light, and slapped hard!
[Sneak Attack by a Hidden Spirit]!
Bang!
This attack was truly unexpected.
It was so fast that even if Kashiwagi and Coral Sun could react in time, it would be difficult for them to dodge.
"voice!"
It was sent flying like a meteor, and plunged into the surging tide with a splash.
Bai Mu's lips curled slightly.
This is just what he wanted!
"surf!"
"voice!"
The tides are surging!
To Karuni's astonishment, the Sun Coral, who had just been knocked away, rode the waves and crashed down on the Pumpkin Monster like a high wall!
Boom!
Huge waves crashed against the beach!
Unable to dodge the exaggerated range of the attack, the Pumpkin Monster was completely suppressed by the massive seawater. Even though its water attribute prevented it from inflicting enough effective damage, it was still unable to move!
What Cypress wanted was this strong control effect.
"Surprise attack!"
Karuni naturally saw through Kashiwagi's intentions and decisively sent the Pumpkin Monster into another dimension to evade.
However, the Sun Coral moves slowly, not that it attacks slowly.
As the tide receded and the pumpkin monster tried to get up, its smoke-like tentacles darted into its body, forcibly controlling it a second time!
Karuni's expression remained unchanged, "Shadow attack!"
"Bang!"
The pumpkin monster struggled violently, but not to break free of its restraints; rather, it was trying to manipulate its elemental energy.
In an instant, the shadow on the ground shot up high and turned into a sharp spike that pierced into the sun coral's body!
"--voice!"
The green light that was about to merge into its body stopped abruptly.
Corsola is not yet level 90. Even with the recent boost from the Spirit World, it is at most on par with the main Pokémon of veteran champions.
A single attack from the Pumpkin Monster is nothing, but when they are combined multiple times, even something as tough as it is inevitably injured.
Just like now, [Drain Power] had barely begun when it was interrupted by [Shadow Sneak Attack].
But it's not a big problem.
"continue!"
Kashiwagi knew that thanks to his excellent defensive and defensive stats, his Pokémon had a very high margin for error in battle, and even when facing the champion, one or two minor mistakes were not a big deal.
Sure enough, Karune was moved when she saw that even though the Sun Coral's attack was interrupted, its smoke-like tentacles were still deeply embedded in the Pumpkin Monster's body, rendering it unable to move.
What unwavering willpower!
no solution anymore.
"trick!"
She shouted loudly.
Kashiwagi's Pokémon's "reliance" on items is no secret online.
She originally intended to use this tactic in a formal match to catch her opponent off guard.
But now that he's gotten a bit carried away, and not wanting Pumpkin Monster to lose to Coral Sun, he decisively unleashed his trump card—a series of transformation moves.
"Ah!"
Kashiwa raised an eyebrow.
The sun coral's attention was entirely focused on absorbing power; it was too late to throw stones.
A dazzling array of lights appeared, and the two Pokémon each handed over their precious possessions, and each also received something in return.
Pumpkin's attack power was greatly reduced, but it removed its opponent's Evolution Stone. Corsola lost its Evolution Stone, but its HP was restored.
The battle situation became unpredictable.
The dark night obscured the faces of the trainers on both sides, causing Minami to clutch her chest.
She was also drawn to the battle between the two Pokémon and was curious to see which side would ultimately emerge victorious.
"come back!"
Karuni made the first move.
Her choice was to trade Pokémon, deciding not to let Pumpkin stay on the field, and to bring out the next Pokémon to defeat Corsola at the cost of taking a hit from the opponent.
This also prevents Kashiwagi from finding a way to get the Evolution Stone back.
Kashiwagi watched silently as the Pumpkin Monster was recalled, its eyes deep and unfathomable, and another Pokémon quickly appeared.
"Woo!"
It's sticky dragon!
Karen chose a pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon with strong Special Defense as her second Pokémon.
Coral Sunfire quickly unleashed its attack, "Will-o'-the-Wisp!"
call!
The spinning ring of fire flew toward the Goomy Dragon, who, sensing danger, immediately dodged. However, the ring of fire scattered along the way, flying toward it at many incredible angles.
Since discovering that the Fire Ring had a low hit rate, Kashiwagi has put a lot of effort into having Coral Sun practice the micro-management of Will-o'-the-Wisp.
We saw initial results a few days ago.
All I can say is the same old thing – truly a Pokémon of “excellent quality”!
The sticky dragon dodged four of the projectiles, but the remaining five all struck it, causing the cute-looking dragon to show a pained expression.
"Woo!"
Flames suddenly erupted and engulfed it.
Karuni shouted, "Dragon Pulse!"
Immediately, Nianmeilong endured the burning pain, took a deep breath, and exhaled towards the sun coral not far away!
The roaring dragon flames instantly materialized and struck the sun coral that hadn't had time to defend itself!
Bang!
It was blasted into the sea again.
The champion's strength is all-around, just like how Kashiwagi completely crushed his opponents in the past.
The champion's Pokémon are in no way inferior to his in terms of pain tolerance, attack speed, or teamwork.
They might even have better chemistry.
After all, Karune has spent far more time training Pokémon than he has!
Fortunately, Corsola had its Special Defense boosted by Meditation, and it also had its HP restored by Absorb Power.
This is how it managed to avoid being defeated by the burning attack from the sticky dragon, but even so, it tasted a kind of pain that it had rarely experienced before.
"Woo!"
Without stopping, Nian Meilong rushed straight into the sea.
Coral Sun's gaze was deep as she attempted to use [Power Absorption], but Kashiwagi stopped her in time.
"Misfortune never comes singly!"
Karune's ability is Herbivore, so using Drain Power will only boost the opponent's attack!
Upon hearing this, Coral Sunfire angrily summoned a huge eye and unleashed a large amount of purplish-black light waves at the Goodra that was lunging at it!
hum!hum!
The light waves, like surging ocean waves, continuously crashed against the sticky dragon.
But this guy managed to withstand the attack and get close thanks to his excellent special defense!
What a fierce fellow!
Among the majority of the gentle-natured Nume Dragons, this guy is truly an anomaly.
"Woo!"
It flicked its antennae behind its head, grabbed it, and hurled it into the sky, while deep blue flames welled up in its mouth.
"Dragon Wave!"
boom! !
On the moonlit sea, a fire dragon roared and swallowed the sun coral, with a terrifying posture as if it wanted to grind it to dust!
After two consecutive Dragon Pulse attacks, Corsola's condition deteriorated at a visible rate.
The dragon's excellent swimming ability allows it to easily ride the waves, intending to throw it into the air again so that it cannot dodge, thus launching a control-type combo attack.
Reckless!
That's really reckless!
Kashiwagi couldn't help but look at Karini, seeing the excited gleam in her eyes, and then recalling her performance among the Eight Masters in the anime...
Does she appear gentle and dignified, yet possess a fierce and swift fighting spirit?
"Wall of light."
He spoke.
The sun coral's candle-like eyes flickered as it allowed itself to be captured by the Goodra, which then threw it into the air, creating layer upon layer of translucent barriers.
"Dragon Wave!"
The third shot!
The dragon's face, contorted with rage, was agape as it opened its mouth wide. While the seawater cooled the flames, the salt in the water continued to erode its wounds.
This makes its moves even more powerful!
Boom——! !
The terrifying Flame Dragon revealed its full form this time. It spread its wings, which blotted out the sky, and bit the Sun Coral, suddenly swirling around it, gathering all its energy and bombarding it without missing a single bit!
Boom!
The sky was ablaze with light, like fireworks exploding!
After a brief pause, the sun coral broke through the smoke and fell, but the grimosaur did not approach again.
Both Kashiwagi and Karune could see that Coral Sun had already lost.
Be the first!
The actress smiled faintly. Although it wasn't a public competition, in a way, she had broken Kashiwagi's "undefeated" myth.
After all, he is a regional champion, one of the top players in the Pokémon world.
If she can't even handle a Pokémon that's not even level 90, Kashiwagi, she might as well retire long ago.
but.
Is the battle over?
not at all.
When the sun coral falls into the sea with a splash, it floats up due to the nature of its empty shell.
A terrifying dark light silently swam along the seawater toward the excitedly shouting Nume Dragon.
"Whoa—"
The sound stopped suddenly.
With its head tilted back, it plunged into the water with a splash, much to Karuni's astonishment.
Karuni quickly looked at Kashiwagi, who was smiling just like her.
"Just now……"
"[Same fate], my Sun Coral's attack speed has never been slow." Kashiwagi gave an elegant bow.
To date, Corsola has rarely used Destiny Bond with other Pokémon, but its movements are exceptionally skillful.
During internal battles with its family Pokémon, its Destiny Bond ability was always feared by other Pokémon, even Shiny Gengar.
why?
Because it's fast!
Just when you think it has no chance to make a move, it always manages to use that move.
The reason for this lies with the three-headed dragon.
Having been bullied every day, it had to find a way to deal with the opponent now that the opponent had reached level 90.
In the end, I chose [Same Fate].
Damn it! If I'm not having a good time, you won't have one either!
The mentality of mutual destruction often allows Coral to gain an advantage over Hydreigon.
The term "sticky dragon" is somewhat fitting when applied to this topic.
They're all dragons!
"I admire you."
Karuni smiled elegantly and radiantly.
She recalled the sticky dragon and released the pumpkin monster that had just landed.
Unfortunately, the Pumpkin Monster is already in its final form, and even with the Evolution Stone, it cannot be made to work.
However, the physical attack that had been reduced due to absorbing power has now been restored.
Kashiwagi held the Poké Ball containing Corsola, while his other hand wandered among the many Poké Balls.
"This is a rare opportunity, come and take it!"
"Crack!"
The multi-faceted phone hanging beside him was overjoyed and quickly transformed into the shape of Polygon II.
Karuni was taken aback. "Your phone can fight?"
"Yeah, how about we buy one?"
I casually recommended cypress wood.
The two Pokémon attacked spontaneously without needing their commands.
The Pumpkin Monster opened its huge mouth and shot a series of bright green seeds at Polygon II!
Puff puff--
The sheer number and density of the seeds are comparable to the firepower of a platoon!
Polygon II's shape changes, transforming from a toy duck into a circle.
Puff puff!
Smoke and dust kept rising up.
The seeds that missed their target burst open, sending sand and gravel flying across the beach.
While dodging the incoming seeds, it quickly approached the pumpkin monster, and in the blink of an eye, the two had closed a considerable distance.
As a Normal-type Pokémon, it can already block most of Pumpkin's weird moves. Even if the opponent uses "Halloween" to give it a Ghost type, it cannot make Ghost-type moves take effect unless the Normal type is removed.
There is really no need for change.
This time, it decided to stick to its original form and fight to the end.
As the pumpkin monster approached, it quietly took out the Evolution Stone from its body and threw it far away.
It is undoubtedly preparing to use a magic trick again.
Last time, it traded its roots for Corsola's evolution stone, and it's doing the same thing this time.
The reason I didn't use it earlier was mainly because I was worried that if Porygon II used Protect at the start of the game, it would cause its plan to fail and expose its intentions.
The other party is approaching so blatantly now, they must have ulterior motives?
anyway.
Change!
Its eyes lit up, and it replaced its roots with the new ones.
However, the imagined evolutionary stone never appeared in his hand, and nothing existed at all.
"Bang!?!?"
The opponent didn't bring an Evolution Stone!?
The Pumpkin Monster was shocked, and then suddenly saw Polygonus II split in two—
wrong.
One in front of the other!
It suddenly realized that the other party had used a double, and that it had used its magic trick on the double!
The move failed!
A serious expression appeared on Karuni's face as she spoke:
"Characteristics interchanged!"
