Chapter 427: Who Said Near-Legendary Pokemon Aren't Gods!!
Chapter 427: Who Said Near-Legendary Pokemon Aren't Gods!!
DONG!!
Amidst the roaring crowd, Dakudo's Poke Balls on the big screen had already dimmed, indicating the loss of three Pokemon.
Losing three Pokemon was a critical number in a 6v6 full-team battle.
Especially when the opponent hadn't lost a single Pokemon yet.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the field, the staff members from the tournament were also in action, diligently repairing the energy barrier outside the spectator stands.
It had been frozen and almost shattered!
Such destructive power had actually exceeded the expectations for the Bellflower Tournament, a League-level competition.
"Wow, the barrier almost broke. I guess Jing He is here to compete in the Baby Cup!"
"First, he shattered the field, and now the barrier. It seems like Jing He's participation is putting a lot of pressure on the tournament organizers."
"As we all know, Jing He is famous for being hard on the field."
". . ."
The audience's chatter didn't affect Dakudo, but losing three Pokemon made him feel a bit uneasy.
If he couldn't score another point, the situation would become completely one-sided.
"So, do I have to bring it out?" Darkrai muttered.
"Come back, Ninetales."
On the other side, Jing He recalled Ninetales.
If he continued fighting and ended up breaking the tournament's energy barrier, he couldn't afford the compensation.
Although, the Sinnoh League would likely not ask him to pay for it.
"Woof!"
Ice Ninetales obediently returned to Jing He's side, and the snowstorm on the field subsided, while the misty terrain also thinned out significantly, as if it could end at any moment.
Dakudo furrowed his brows slightly.
The time spent by the staff repairing the energy barrier was beneficial for him, but it was also...unfair.
However, this wasn't something he could change.
After some contemplation, he made a decision, and the Poke Ball at his waist swayed slightly, as if responding to his thoughts.
Do you think so too? Dakudo's frown relaxed a little.
"Since it's like this..."
He swung his cape, holding a red and white Poke Ball, and then threw it out.
"Then, I'll leave it to you, Latios!"
The streamlined body resembled a jet plane, and its alternating blue and white appearance gave it a natural beauty akin to the blue sky and white clouds. As it descended from the sky, it left behind two white contrails.
"What?! Dakudo's fourth Pokemon is the legendary Infinite Pokemon, Latios?!"
The announcer shouted out the exclamation that everyone wanted to express.
Blue Water, Latios!
Infinite Pokemon!
The legendary Legendary Pokemon!
Gazing at this graceful and agile Latios, all the spectators widened their eyes in astonishment.
Aside from Darkrai, Dakudo had summoned another Legendary Pokemon!
"Damn!" Daye couldn't help but curse.
Wusong pushed up his glasses solemnly, his expression serious. "I didn't expect Dakudo to still have a Latios in reserve, and he's summoning it now. It seems like Jing He's pressure is indeed a bit overwhelming."
"This Latios..." Sharon narrowed her eyes slightly and said slowly, "isn't particularly strong."
Everyone's mouths twitched.
Only Sharon could confidently say such words, right?
"Did you notice he's using a red and white Poke Ball?" A Liu once again pointed out the highlight.
"Probably, it's a close relationship, and it willingly followed him, so he caught it?" Da Ye offered a reasonable guess.
In fact, it was more or less the case.
The audience went wild.
"Wow, I thought Jing He was the Baby Cup champion, but he still had one in reserve!"
"Whose lieutenant is this?!"
"Doesn't Jing He also have a Martial Bear Master? A battle between a Legendary Pokemon and a God Beast is so exciting!"
Buzz...
Jing He wasn't surprised by Latios' appearance.
As he pondered whom to send out next, the Poke Ball at his waist became active.
Swift Dragon, you want to fight?
After a brief consideration, Jing He smiled slightly, "Alright."
He took out the Poke Ball, opened it gently, and a beam of red light shot out, followed by the appearance of a Swift Dragon flapping its wings.
"Roar!"
The Swift Dragon excitedly let out two roars.
It's alive, it's alive!
Having come from the "Dragon's Sanctuary," it had seen Latios in some of the sanctuary's murals, and the dragons there told it that Latios was an incredibly powerful Dragon-type Pokemon.
Now, it finally encountered a living Latios, and being a dragon that desired strength, it naturally wanted to engage in a battle!
Listening to the Swift Dragon's words, Latios tilted its head, looking a bit puzzled.
Its expression was gentle, and it had a bit of fondness for the fellow Dragon-type Pokemon.
As an Infinite Pokemon, Latios didn't particularly enjoy conflict, but for Dakudo, he had to win this battle.
Latios' competitive spirit rose, and Swift Dragon opened its mouth, not feeling nervous but rather growing more excited.
"Wuu!"
Let the battle begin!
The battle commenced! "Latios!" Dakudo could also sense Latios' thoughts.
Perhaps it was due to Latios' inherently gentle nature, or maybe he had suddenly realized something.
He came to his senses.
The battle was just a battle; it didn't necessarily have to end with a winner or loser.
Enjoying the process was the greatest joy of battling!
So let's have a good fight!
"Psychic!"
Buzz—
Latios flapped its wings, creating a cyclone around it, and its body soared into the sky like a jet soaring through the heavens.
As Latios ascended, a pale blue psychic power gathered.
Swift Dragon slightly raised its head, gazing at Latios dancing freely in the sunlight, its wings fluttering behind it.
Sss—
Suddenly, a powerful psychic power slashed down from above, like a pale blue blade shooting through the air, tearing through the atmosphere.
"Air Blade!"
"Wuu!"
Swift Dragon let out a light shout, and as it waved its wings, it also slashed out two milky white blades, colliding with the incoming attack.
Bang! Bang!
But soon, Swift Dragon and Jinghe's expressions changed slightly.
Amidst the dust from the collision of Psychic and Air Blade, the psychic power burst through and continued to shoot towards Swift Dragon.
Swift Dragon immediately raised its hands to block the attack! Bang!
At the same time, Latios also glided in closely behind the Psychic attack, its body surrounded by white glowing spheres like round balls, which finally converged into a red energy beam.
Cleansing Light!
This was Latios' signature move, which had a certain chance of lowering the opponent's Special Defense.
"Swift Dragon, hold on!"
Jinghe's voice rang out again, and a light green barrier rose.
Under the impact of Cleansing Light, Swift Dragon's body continuously retreated, and the green barrier slowly dissipated.
But Latios still pressed forward, its body enveloped in the faint glow of psychic power.
Swift Dragon clenched its fist tightly, and the energy of Psychic was directly shattered by it. Facing Latios, who was now within arm's reach, it tightened its fist.
Crack—
Ice instantly gathered on it.
Ice Punch! At the same time, Latios also reached Swift Dragon.
Boom!!
A fierce roar suddenly exploded.
Amidst the dust, two silhouettes flew back almost simultaneously, stirring up a chilling gust of wind.
On one of Latios' wings, there was a hint of ice crystals, and one of Swift Dragon's hands was covered in an inexplicable charred black color.
A stalemate?
Buzz—
The remaining Misty Terrain on the ground finally dissipated.
The next second.
Latios, flying backwards, opened its mouth, and a wave of dragon energy surged towards Swift Dragon.
Dragon Pulse!
Swift Dragon didn't back down. Facing the surging dragon energy, three pale blue sharp claws appeared on its hands, and it waved them downwards.
Dragon Claw!!
Swoosh—
Dragon Pulse was slashed open head-on!
Swift Dragon immediately flapped its wings, its body enveloped in white light, and it countered with Extreme Speed towards Latios.
Latios didn't show any signs of retreat. As its mouth opened and closed, it blew out a chilling wind, instantly covering Swift Dragon's body with a layer of frost.
Bang!!
The intense collision once again separated the two Pokemon.
The entire battle and exchange of moves was incredibly fast, with almost no pauses, causing the audience to hold their breaths, fearing they might miss any crucial moments.
From the battle, it seemed like Latios had a slight advantage, but neither side could defeat the other in a short time.
"Whew—so thrilling!"
"What an exhilarating fight!"
"It just feels... like it won't end?"
The audience finally had a chance to catch their breath.
Because on Latios' body, a milky white glow rose, and its wounds were visibly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Regeneration!
However, Swift Dragon wasn't far behind. As it landed on the ground, its injuries also quickly recovered.
Roost!
"Wow, they both have recovery moves, so..."
"If they don't knock out their opponents, they can keep fighting?"
"But... it's still great to watch such an intense battle."
Both Dakudo and Jinghe noticed what the audience was discussing.
Almost simultaneously, they looked at each other and then smiled.
So, let's see who can take down the other first!
After Latios had fully recovered, it soared into the sky once again, ascending like a blue jet plane.
A terrifying Dragon-type energy could be vaguely seen gathering in its mouth.
"Latios, Meteor Shower!" Dakudo clenched his fist and shouted.
Hiss—
The audience gasped in unison. Meteor Shower, a powerful Dragon-type move!
From the looks of it, it seemed to cover the entire arena.
Lava-like fireballs erupted from Latios's mouth, instantly shattering into dozens of meteors that rained down like missiles, accompanied by rising heat waves and sparks.
"Roar!"
Far from being intimidated, the Swift Dragon became even more excited.
Its chest heaved violently as it inhaled large amounts of air into its lungs, stimulating its blood.
"I, the Swift Dragon, will never back down from any Dragon-type Pokemon! This is the pride of the Sacred Dragon Clan!"
Moreover, having followed Jing He, it was no longer the unlucky Miniryu it once was.
It had become incredibly powerful!
Buzz—
In an instant, the Swift Dragon felt the Wave Guide Power transmitted by Jing He.
No words were needed; their mutual understanding and support were implicit.
"Swift Dragon—"
Jing He could sense the Swift Dragon's determination, and he naturally gave his full support. He believed that the Swift Dragon would live up to his expectations.
This was their bond!
"Raging Scales, activate!"
The Swift Dragon's eyes instantly turned crimson, and a violent aura swirled around it, tensing its entire body.
"It's Raging Scales!"
The audience instantly recognized the move the Swift Dragon had unleashed—Raging Scales, one of the ultimate Dragon-type moves!
Was this a clash between two ultimate Dragon-type moves?
However, Jing He's voice rang out once more.
"Extreme Speed!"
Dakudo was startled.
Under the influence of Raging Scales, the Swift Dragon was about to use another move! Although it had hinted at its ability to counter some of the negative effects of Raging Scales during its battle with Goodra, it hadn't used any other moves at that time.
But this time...
"Here it comes! Jing He and the Swift Dragon's unreasonable Raging Scales!" Da Ye exclaimed excitedly.
"Roar!!!"
The Swift Dragon bathed in the red energy stream, its body suddenly shooting upwards, facing the ferocious meteor falling from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One of the meteors struck the Swift Dragon as it charged upwards, instantly shattering into countless fragments that scattered in all directions, creating a terrifying air current and raising clouds of dust.
However...
The Swift Dragon quickly burst out of the dust cloud without any sign of slowing down. Instead, it became even faster, as if tearing through the clouds.
A look of horror appeared in Latios's eyes as it watched the reckless Swift Dragon, feeling a sense of disbelief.
This Swift Dragon...
Boom!
Before Latios could fully comprehend the situation, the Swift Dragon slammed into it with a deafening impact.
For a moment, the entire venue fell silent as everyone held their breath, focusing on the battle.
As the smoke gradually cleared...
Latios plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.
Meanwhile, the Swift Dragon clenched its fist and hovered in mid-air, looking down at its opponent.
"Roar!!!!"
As the Swift Dragon's roar echoed, the silent venue erupted into an unprecedented wave of cheering.
The entire arena was in an uproar.
"I want to know, who says Near-Legendary isn't Legendary?!"
"I also want to know, what the hell is a Near-Legendary, and what the hell is a Legendary?!"
"So what if it's a Legendary? We'll still take it down!"
"How can there be a Pokemon as adorable and powerful as the Swift Dragon?!"
"..."
In the box, the Land Shark beside Sharon also had a serious expression.
Jing He's Swift Dragon made it feel threatened!
The Swift Dragon slowly descended from the sky. As its breathing stabilized and the effects of Raging Scales gradually wore off, it revealed a somewhat silly smile.
"Roar~"
I hope I didn't embarrass Jing He...
"Well done, Swift Dragon!" Although Jing He was happy, he also felt a bit worried.
The Swift Dragon's obsession with Dragon-type Pokemon...
What about those like Dialga and Palkia? The Dragon-type Pokemon in this world are all quite formidable.
