Chapter 279: "Legion" Gramps!
Chapter 279: "Legion" Gramps!
"Creeeeaaaawwww!!!"
The piercing cry reverberated through the clouds.
As the fire-wielding wings flapped, the sky was painted in a blazing crimson hue.
Everyone witnessing this scene instinctively turned their gazes towards Jinghe.
So, you're not the "Divine Beast Guy"?
Jinghe felt the weight of everyone's stares, feeling a sense of injustice.
It flew here on its own; what does it have to do with me? Even if there's a connection with the "Rainbow Feather,"
Wait a minute.
The "Rainbow Feather" is a Phoenix's feather, and logically, the Phoenix shouldn't have any authority over the Three Legendary Beasts, right? Shouldn't they be under the jurisdiction of Lugia?
However, the Flareon seemed not to notice Jinghe, and its gaze swept across the guest seats, finally settling on the blazing sacred flame.
"Creeeeaaaawwww!"
A scorching flame erupted from Flareon's mouth, landing in the silver fire basin.
Bear!!
In an instant, the flames intensified.
Whoosh—
The audience burst into cheers.
Undoubtedly, Flareon's personal blessing of the sacred flame made this Quartz Conference even more newsworthy and significant.
But seeing this scene, a question arose in the viewers' minds: Could this really have nothing to do with Teacher Jinghe? Dr. Oak, sitting in the guest seats, also paused upon seeing Flareon, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a silvery-white feather.
Was Flareon attracted by the "Silver Feather"? This feather was what he had requested from above as a prize to be awarded to the champion of this conference.
After all, this Quartz Conference had reached unprecedented heights due to Jinghe's participation and the buzz it created.
Buzz—
Suddenly, the "Rainbow Feather" in Jinghe's inner pocket glowed again, causing Flareon, who was about to leave, to pause, its gaze settling on Jinghe.
Jinghe, sensing the wave guidance from the "Rainbow Feather," wore an odd expression.
It felt like the "Rainbow Feather" was saying...
【Rainbow Feather: Where do you think you're going? Now that you're here, leave something behind! Take this!】
And so.
A fiery red feather, spinning gently, descended slowly from the sky, eventually landing in front of Jinghe.
Jinghe: ???
It feels like the "Rainbow Feather" has... gone bad?
"Flareon's feather! This is Flareon's blessing!"
"It's a congratulation!"
"And you still say it has nothing to do with you?! The evil Teacher Jinghe!"
"."
Does this really have anything to do with me? Jinghe looked at the warm, fiery red feather in his hand.
If there were a connection, it would probably be to help him complete his fan made of feathers.
However...
Having this on his body might make this winter a little more bearable.
Under everyone's gaze, Flareon flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.
This arena isn't very safe.
Just taking a stroll, and I'm already losing a precious feather. What it gave away wasn't an ordinary feather, either.
In the shadows at the edge of the arena, Masado watched Flareon fly away after obediently leaving its feather, scratching his head in satisfaction.
He dropped the half-broken broomstick he had been holding, its origin unknown.
After glancing at Jinghe in the arena, he silently disappeared into the shadows.
Although Flareon's appearance created a significant interruption, the finals of this conference were not yet over.
With the commentator's reminder, the audience gradually refocused their attention on the arena.
Gudrian, seeing that Flareon had no intention of landing, heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked gratefully at Jinghe.
Teacher Jinghe kept his word! He didn't let Flareon join the battle.
So, he shouldn't dwell on winning or losing and should just enjoy a thrilling battle with his Pokemon!
With this thought, Gudrian instantly felt the pressure ease.
"Go, Rampardos!"
This was one of Gudrian's signature Pokemon, and it had performed well in the previous rounds, consistently defeating multiple opponents.
"Jinghe has sent out Hachubo!" the commentator announced.
The graceful and slender Hachubo took the stage once more.
As a quasi-divine Pokemon from the Kanto region, it was once revered as a sacred Pokemon, rumored to possess the power to control the weather. Its popularity was undeniable.
Jinghe's Hachubo was particularly renowned for its fierce moves and precise accuracy.
So...
Gudrian, having memorized his strategy, shouted his command: "Rampardos, Sand Scoop!"
【Sand Scoop: Reduces the target's accuracy by one level.】
"Roar!"
Rampardos roared, its tail sweeping away the snow on the ground and tossing a scoop of sand towards Hachubo.
The swirling sand could confuse the opponent's vision.
But Hachubo's wings on its head vibrated, and a white light enveloped its body, instantly lifting it into the air.
The speed granted by Agility was indeed impressive.
"Sand Scoop again!"
Rampardos transformed into a sand-digging crocodile, continuously tossing up clouds of sand, obscuring Hachubo's vision.
"Now, Dragon Claw!"
Seeing that Hachubo was finally affected by the sand, Gudrian clenched his fist and shouted.
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, a menacing Rampardos emerged from the dust cloud, its sharp claws shimmering with a faint purple Dragon-type energy aura.
When facing a pure Dragon-type Pokemon, Dragon, Ice, and Fairy-type moves are the most effective!
"Roar!!!
A translucent blue reflective barrier unfolded in front of Hachubo, blocking the ferocious charge of the Rampardos.
Then, with a "slap," it whipped its tail, which was wrapped in a stream of water, and slammed the Rampardos into the ground.
"Water Cannon!"
Seizing the moment as the Rampardos stumbled, Jinghe immediately gave the command.
"Roar~~~"
Hachubo puffed out its mouth.
"Water Cannon? You're using Water Cannon after Sand Scoop?"
"Teacher Jinghe isn't afraid of the legendary 'Triple Miss' at all!"
Whoosh!
In an instant, a surging column of water erupted, creating a terrifying torrent that crashed down like a massive wave.
Boom!!!
"Wow, even with that accuracy, it still hit!"
"Wait, did you misunderstand something? With such a wide-range Water Cannon, it's hard to miss, right?"
"Is that a Water Cannon? Even a sprinkler doesn't spray like that!"
Hachubo's abdomen swelled again, and ripples of pale blue waves surrounded its body. The blue gem on its neck shimmered with an ocean-like aura.
"Roar!!! (■Д■)"
Water Bucket, Dam Repair! You blinded me!
Take this! Boom!!!
After the deafening roar, Hachubo, with its back turned to the Rampardos, slowly descended from the air, its snow-white wings fluttering gracefully.
Whoosh!
The raging water splashed like rain, and Hachubo, bathed in the water, appeared even more elegant and slender.
A rainbow faintly appeared behind it.
The entire arena was stunned.
At that moment, Jinghe's thoughts were—
Tsk, how could such a graceful Hachubo evolve into a chubby and cute Pokemon? The arena had just experienced a sandstorm, ice, and waves.
"Teacher Jinghe seems to have become much stronger," Yasha muttered, smacking her lips.
As a Fire-type Pokemon specialist, seeing the precision of that Water Cannon made her scalp tingle.
"Jinghe's growth rate is quite impressive," Serena whispered.
If you count, has Jinghe been training Pokemon for a year now? But this is the infinite potential that can emerge when a Trainer and Pokemon collide.
Just as Serena often said, when life encounters life, something extraordinary is born.
"Roar~!"
Sitting beside her, the Flame Bite Sharpedo crossed its arms in a serious manner, exhaling two puffs of white breath from its nose.
Good thing it didn't show off its dancing skills today!
Gudrian recalled the defeated Rampardos, "You did well, Rampardos."
Without the pressure of the championship on his shoulders, he felt much more relaxed.
So what if he lost four Pokemon?
Before the commentator could react, Gudrian threw out his fifth Poke Ball.
"Please, Infernape!"
Boom! A bulky Pokemon emerged, its neck encircled by raging flames, standing on two sturdy legs with muscular arms. Its belly had several black markings that seemed to symbolize martial arts.
Infernape, the Fire Pig Pokemon, possessed Fire and Fighting-type attributes and exuded confidence.
As one of the Unova region's starter Pokemon, Infernape, in Jinghe's eyes, resembled... Second Brother! Infernape was a Pokemon that valued loyalty. If it considered someone a comrade, it would trust them completely.
Looking at the formidable Infernape, Jinghe asked softly,
"Lotad, do you want to go on stage?"
"Lotad, Lotad?! (дlll)"
Hidden in the Pokedex, Lotad's face was filled with terror.
Am I supposed to face that scary-looking pig?
Hearing this, Jinghe smiled.
She wouldn't force it.
There was no other choice.
Jinghe's smile widened.
"Gramps."
A shadow darted out from Jinghe's shadow and landed in the arena.
Then, a Gramps wearing sunglasses leaped out.
"Hngga! (_)"
It waved at Infernape.
Second Brother, come on!
This was a showdown between two chubby Pokemon!
A battle to determine the cutest little chubby of this tournament!
Seeing Gramps enter the arena, Gudrian's expression turned serious.
In the previous match, Teacher Jinghe's Gramps had swept through Raiden's team.
To be honest, Gudrian wasn't confident about his chances against Raiden either.
So... was it going to be "Toxic," "Hypnosis," or "Infinite Substitution Pain Sharing"?
Gudrian's heart raced at the thought of Gramps' endless tormenting moves.
But they had already come this far...
Gudrian gritted his teeth, "Infernape, Blaze Kick!"
Roar!
Infernape's neck flames instantly erupted, and the scorching flames coiled around its body like fiery serpents. With all four limbs, it charged towards Gramps like a speeding train, full of vigor.
"Kacha!! (○`（●●）○)"
Flames swiftly carved a charred trench across the arena.
Jinghe pursed his lips.
"Gramps," he called out softly, seemingly without giving any commands.
But Gramps understood.
With a sinister grin, his body trembled slightly, and from his chubby form, two almost identical Gramps emerged.
Immediately after.
They trembled again, and two more Gramps appeared.
"This..."
The spectators were bewildered by this sight.
Substitute? Night Shadow? Shadow Clone?
Gramps: Wrong!
It's a new move, 'Shadow Split'!
With so many Gramps appearing at once, Infernape and Gudrian were momentarily stunned.
Which one was real, and which was fake?
"Kacha? ((oo) `)"
"Never mind!"
As more and more Gramps appeared, Gudrian waved his hand.
"Infernape, destroy them all! There must be a real one among them!"
However.
Gramps had other plans: This won't be that easy!
"Gramps!" Jinghe's voice carried a hint of solemnity.
"Max Shadow Ball!!"
"Hengga!!" Gramps cackled in response.
And then.
All the Gramps began rubbing their hands, and pitch-black Shadow Balls appeared between their hands at an astonishing speed.
The massive Shadow Balls emanated a thick Ghostly aura.
Infernape, about to charge at one of the Gramps, felt the terrifying aura from all directions and broke into a cold sweat.
Good, good... They all seem real?
At the same time.
Inside the Phantom House on the Champion's Path, Grandma Juezi, who was watching the live broadcast, paused while holding her tea.
She looked at Gramps sitting on the other side, knitting a sweater and swallowing something like a rag, "Bolu Bolu."
"Hengga?" Gramps felt her gaze and grinned, "Gaga," laughing mischievously.
Grandma Juezi shook her head helplessly.
"Looks like you really approve of this Gramps, even teaching him this move."
Gramps scratched his butt.
Don't you approve of him more than I do?
At this moment on the television, what Jinghe's Gramps was doing was all too familiar to them. It was the same method used by Gramps, the leader of Grandma Juezi's Phantom Army, when mobilizing the entire army.
Although Jinghe's Gramps didn't have the massive Ghost-type energy support of the Phantom Army, he executed the move with considerable skill.
But what they couldn't ignore was that Jinghe's Gramps itself contained an impressive amount of Ghost-type energy and potential.
More importantly, Gramps had been coming over whenever he had free time, absorbing the energy of Grandma Juezi's Phantom Army.
Several of her little Pokemon had started having trouble sleeping during the day and couldn't move at night.
In the end.
When Grandma Juezi told Jinghe that he hadn't fully tapped into Gramps' potential, she was also helping him.
On the battlefield.
One by one, the Gramps began to disappear, but the Shadow Balls they held grew more exaggerated.
It was as if all the Gramps' Shadow Balls had converged into one.
The spectators' eyes widened, and their mouths hung open.
Jinghe's Gramps still had a move left when fighting Raiden?
This is almost like a Gigantamax Gramps' move, Jinghe thought.
"Hengga!!"
I can't hold it anymore!
Gramps hurled the massive Shadow Ball.
The terrifying Ghost-type energy converged into a spherical ball, like a meteor falling from the sky, while Infernape, enveloped in flames, stared at the scene in a daze.
Tonight, when it opens its blanket, it might find Gramps everywhere!
Boom!!
The enormous black sphere exploded, unleashing a wild surge of energy, and the flames on Infernape's body seemed to be doused by a bucket of water, instantly extinguishing.
The unimaginable impact embedded it deeply into the arena.
Instant knockout!
The spectators were left in awe.
Your Shadow Ball... It's unreasonable, extremely unreasonable!
Jinghe, please, just be a human!
"Hengga."
After throwing the Shadow Ball, Gramps stuck out his tongue, drooped his ears, and looked completely exhausted.
He was drained.
"Gramps, Gramps looks exhausted!"
"Of course, anyone would be exhausted after using such a huge Shadow Ball."
"Why do I feel like Gramps is... glowing?"
"But Jinghe doesn't seem to have recalled Gramps?"
"I get it! It's an act!"
An act?
No.
Jinghe was just considering which Pokemon to send out for Gudrian's last Pokemon.
That little Lotad doesn't like battles.
"Never mind, Gramps will continue fighting."
As for the issue of stamina.
Gudrian is about to send out the 'Energy Cube' anyway, right?—
PS: I couldn't finish it, I'm running late, I've written 4,400 words, a bit late, sorry.
