Chapter 435: Mega Gramps: Who's Next?
Chapter 435: Mega Gramps: Who's Next?
It was just a showcase battle, yet the audience watched with bated breath, their excitement palpable.
Both trainers were at the pinnacle of their prowess, and they showcased their skills and strengths in this battle.
"Hey, Sis, if Teacher Jinghe defeats King Xi Ba, can he challenge the Four Champions too?" Da Ye couldn't help but ask from the VIP room.
Sharon glanced at him and smiled, "It's just a showcase battle."
If Da Ye knew that Jinghe had had such an opportunity before but declined it, one could only wonder what he would think.
"That's true, but they don't seem to be acting," Da Ye added, pursing his lips.
Does this look like a showcase battle?
Who starts a showcase battle by directly smashing the host's venue?
And it wasn't just any destruction; it was so severe that repairs were impossible.
"Don't say it's because Tyrogue was hungry," Da Ye added.
Sharon smiled, but she had to admit that Jinghe and Xi Ba were indeed fighting with a certain seriousness.
Many people were likely following this battle, just like Da Ye, seeing it as Jinghe's challenge against the Four Champions.
In fact, quite a few people were paying close attention to this battle.
In Johto, Ink City.
"Why are you back so early today?" Xia Chun was surprised to see A Du rushing in.
The Rocket Team's annual leave wasn't over yet, so A Du didn't have to work. He was just doing some simple tasks for the Search Team to keep himself in practice as a search officer.
"Isn't there a battle between King Xi Ba and Teacher Jinghe? Has it started?" A Du threw his cape and sat on the sofa.
"It's about to begin," Xia Chun pouted. "But it's just a showcase battle."
A Du smiled, "King Xi Ba doesn't do showcase battles. He takes every battle seriously."
The only difference was the strength of the Pokemon they sent out.
But with Jinghe as his opponent, Xi Ba should be even more serious.
"So, with King Xi Ba's encouragement, Jinghe can't help but be serious too."
This was bound to be an exciting battle.
And soon, the battle between Steel Snake and Martial Bear Master proved A Du's words.
In the Carlos Region, at Dr. Bratan's Research Institute.
"Doctor, will Teacher Jinghe use it in this battle?" Ai Lan stared intently at the screen, afraid to miss any details.
Dr. Bratan, holding a cup of coffee, smiled and shook his head.
"I don't know either, but with a Four Champions opponent, Jinghe must be under a lot of pressure."
During the Bellflower Tournament, he had contacted Jinghe, planning to announce Super Evolution.
Although there were still many details he hadn't figured out, he knew that this power could greatly enhance the entire Pokemon world.
So, announcing it earlier would benefit trainers more.
As for research, he believed that with more trainers using Super Evolution, he would gain more cases to help deepen his research.
"Doctor!" Ai Lan suddenly spoke with gravity.
"Hmm?"
"If..." Ai Lan clenched his teeth. "After Super Evolution is announced, I want to go on a journey!"
He had immersed himself in researching Super Evolution with Dr. Bratan, and he wanted to explore it further through travel, helping the doctor with his research.
Moreover, since following Teacher Jinghe, he had been drawn to the way trainers and Pokemon fought together. He wanted to see the world with his own Pokemon too!
Dr. Bratan, hearing this, was taken aback for a moment. Then he smiled and patted Ai Lan's shoulder.
"Go."
As two people who spent day and night together, Dr. Bratan knew Ai Lan's thoughts well.
"Take your Dragonair with you."
"Yes!"
Ai Lan nodded firmly, looking at the handsome teacher on the screen and clenching his fists.
Perhaps one day, he too could battle against Teacher Jinghe!
With such high attention, it was natural for the battle to be live-streamed.
And when some viewers saw that the battle was between Teacher Jinghe and King Xi Ba, they became excited.
"Wow! Teacher Jinghe vs. King Xi Ba, the Battle of the Century?"
"What Battle of the Century? Don't you know, this is about bringing the Four Champions into the 'Baby' realm!"
"King Xi Ba: Oh, so this is how you play?"
"Don't say anything else, King Xi Ba. Please let Teacher Jinghe 'enjoy' this battle!"
".
Jinghe, of course, was unaware of these external matters.
As the venue was urgently changed, he treated Martial Bear Master's injuries.
It had to be admitted that Xi Ba's attacks were truly fierce.
Even with a type advantage, Martial Bear Master was in this state. Without the advantage, it would be hard to win.
One could only say, worthy of a Four Champions member.
According to showcase battle rules, they had one more battle, a 2v2.
Although Steel Snake lost, Jinghe treating Martial Bear Master's injuries meant it couldn't battle again, so the 2v2 became a 1v1.
As the venue change was completed, the second battle began.
"Jinghe."
Xi Ba seemed excited. He took another Poke Ball from his Double Jointed Stick, "Be careful from now on!"
He threw the Poke Ball.
"Show our strength, Gyarados!"
In the red light, the muscular Gyarados with four arms appeared on the battlefield.
Its eyes were firm and steady, but deep within, there was a burning desire to fight.
"Gyarados!"
Gyarados roared, spreading its four arms and clenching its feet into the ground like pincers. An invisible current rose from beneath it.
It was clear that Xi Ba and Gyarados were taking the upcoming battle very seriously.
"It's King Xi Ba's signature Pokemon, Gyarados!!"
The host didn't know if this Gyarados was Xi Ba's true ace, but many times, Gyarados was one of Xi Ba's signatures. By saying this, he further excited the audience.
"Ohhhh!! King Xi Ba sent out Gyarados!"
"A true Four Champions signature Pokemon! Teacher Jinghe, be careful!"
"The battle hasn't started, but I feel so pumped!"
Whether it was the tens of thousands of spectators at the venue or those watching the live stream, everyone became exhilarated.
The Four Champions' signature Pokemon was not something one could easily witness.
Daye stared at Gyarados, its arms thicker than his own thighs, and exclaimed, "Xi Ba King, isn't he supposed to be without his main Pokemon?"
He was indeed without his main Pokemon.
But the Gyarados he had been training for a year was now almost as strong as his true main Pokemon.
Xiluona's expression turned serious as she assessed, "This Gyarados is very strong."
This was evident from Hydreigon's solemn demeanor.
Jinghe's cheeks twitched at the sight of Gramps.
Brother, it's just a showcase battle, why are you going all out?
Well, I can't blame him!
Jinghe exhaled and slowly stood up.
"Gramps!"
It's been a while since I've truly assessed Gramps's strength.
Let's test if Gramps can now go toe-to-toe with a Four Champion!
On the large screen, Jinghe's serious face was projected, his expression intense.
"Here it comes, Jinghe is getting serious!"
"Damn! It's Gramps, a Fighting-type against a Ghost-type, no wonder it's you, Jinghe!"
"As a Four Champion, there's no reason to not be able to handle a Ghost-type, right?"
Jinghe remained unaffected by the external voices and chuckled lightly, waving his hand, "Go, Gramps."
"Hngga!! (▼O▼)/"
Gramps let out a sinister laugh and hopped into the arena with a bounce in his step.
For a moment, the entire arena fell silent.
"Gramps?" Xi Ba crossed his arms, his eyes narrowing slightly.
As a Four Champion, he instinctively sensed the threat emanating from Gramps, a threat that felt vaguely familiar.
And he knew exactly where this sense of familiarity came from.
King Kiku!
Jinghe's Gramps carried a shadow of King Kiku's Gramps.
"Then let's fight!" Xi Ba declared in a deep voice.
"Hulu!"
Gyarados clenched its four arms, and excitement flashed across its face.
"Hngga~"
Gramps narrowed his eyes, licked his tongue, and then clenched his fists. With a swift motion, he threw a punch, took a step, and assumed a professional boxer's stance.
"Ah! Gramps! How can there be such a cute and lovable Gramps!"
Battle begins!
"Gramps, Ghost Flame!" Jinghe once again secured the first move from Xi Ba.
"Hngga!"
Gramps suddenly clapped his hands together, and purple flames appeared behind him.
Take this!
The Ghost Flames shot rapidly from different angles towards Gyarados.
This was the signature Ghost Flame barrage technique.
Xi Ba cracked a smile, clenched his fist, and shouted without hesitation:
"Gyarados, shatter them!"
Bang!!
Gyarados clenched its fists, and a milky-white aura burst forth from its body. Immediately, its four arms unleashed a flurry of punches.
Counter!
Bang Bang Bang!!!
Clusters of sparks scattered in the air.
The fists shattered the Ghost Flames, highlighting the unreasonableness of the move and the fact that it was overpowered from the start.
"Hngga!"
However, Jinghe and Gramps clearly didn't intend to disarm Gyarados with just one Ghost Flame. As Gyarados shattered the fireballs, Gramps once again threw out several Shadow Balls.
But they were also crushed by Gyarados's punches.
For a moment, Gyarados displayed the might of "breaking through all defenses."
Gramps licked his lips and silently appeared behind Gyarados.
However, Xi Ba wasn't surprised by this scene.
He had suffered numerous losses from King Kiku's "Fear Behind Technique" in the past.
"Let them see our power, Gyarados, Explosion Punch!!"
Gyarados, with its "No Guard" ability, combined with the Explosion Punch, was undoubtedly one of the most classic combinations.
"Hulu!"
Gyarados let out a low growl, its body spinning rapidly as it faced Gramps. Its four limbs stretched wildly towards its back, showcasing its extreme flexibility, like a tightly drawn bowstring ready to unleash terrifying power.
The crimson energy gathered on its fists, the concentrated light resembling a miniature sun.
Even a layman, upon witnessing this scene, could sense the explosive power within.
Neither Xi Ba nor Gyarados chose to defend against Gramps's back attack, or rather, the "No Guard" Gyarados was not suited for defense.
They intended to overwhelm their opponent with a relentless offensive!
If Gramps continued to inflict negative status effects, this Explosion Punch, like a cannonball, would make it suffer.
"Hulu---!!!"
With Gyarados's final roar, the Explosion Punch descended with the force of a mountain.
Boom!! The ground instantly shattered, and the entire arena trembled.
The spectators in the audience felt that today's butt-numbing experience was worth the ticket price! However, what concerned them more was, did it hit?
Ssss—
A zipper-like mouth suddenly appeared in front of Jinghe, and Gramps jumped out, patting its chest.
"Hngga?"
Damn, let's fight it out! The Ghost Flame was ineffective, and even my sneak attack was anticipated. Gramps felt like the opponent knew him too well, giving him the feeling that the opponent had X-ray vision!
If the opponent is cheating, I won't fight!
"Okay." Jinghe smiled.
Gramps bared its teeth.
Jinghe knew Gramps was joking, so he played along.
However.
Their thoughts at this moment were actually the same.
If the opponent is cheating, we'll cheat too!
"Huff"
Jinghe exhaled slowly, exchanged a glance with Gramps, and simultaneously flashed their signature smiles.
Then let's fulfill Dr. Bratan's request here.
Setting aside the tactics others call "morality," Gramps, you also have the strength to go toe-to-toe!
Jinghe took off his suit and tossed it behind him.
The giant screen displayed his every move, his handsome face adorned with a smile, causing an inexplicable tremor in the hearts of the viewers.
"So handsome!"
"Damn, he got me!"
"But, to be fair, it's indeed... pretty handsome!"
"What's that?"
"!"
Jinghe's hand grabbed a round object hanging at the end of the anti-slip chain, and with a light tug, accompanied by a crisp "ding," it fell into his hand.
"It's here!"
Sharon, sitting in the VIP room, uncrossed her legs and revealed a solemn expression.
"What's here?" Daye asked, looking bewildered.
Besides feeling that Teacher Jinghe was a bit handsome at this moment, there wasn't anything else.
"Gramps—"
Jinghe rolled up his sleeves and took two steps forward, shooting out a colorful, rainbow-like light from his hands, leaving the audience in awe.
The colorful radiance blew and fluttered Jinghe's hair, outlining his sharp features.
Hippowdon and Gyarados across from him also watched this scene in astonishment.
What was about to happen? But Jinghe smiled and spoke.
"Mega Evolution!!"
"Hengga!!"
Gramps stuck out his tongue, and the Keystone and Mega Stone shone together, instantly enveloping his body in the rainbow-colored light.
Whoosh—
The audience almost instinctively stood up, and even those watching the live stream at home stood up.
When asked why they were standing to watch the live stream, they replied, "Standing ovation!"
"Evolution Light?!"
"Can Gramps evolve again?!"
"Holy sht! Holy sht! What do we say next?"
"What's this? Is Gramps really evolving?!"
In an instant.
The entire venue erupted, the live stream's chat exploded, and even the entire server crashed!
Daye's jaw nearly hit the ground.
Could Gramps still evolve?
That would mean... Teacher Jinghe hadn't been using his full strength before?
"Heng~ga~!"
As the Mega Evolution light faded, the form of Super Gramps appeared before everyone's eyes.
Really... really evolved?!
Seeing Gramps' new appearance, everyone's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
Even Hippowdon couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"This..."
After his long journey, he had never seen a Gramps that could evolve again.
"Hengga~"
Super Gramps grinned maliciously.
Impressed? Ga-ga-ga-ga~
At the edge of the venue's dome, Darkrai stood, gazing down at Super Gramps, its eyes flashing.
Jinghe held the Keystone, his mind connected with Gramps, and in his white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, he exuded a captivating bad boy charm.
"Gramps, Shadow Ball!"
"Hengga!!"
Super Gramps responded, immediately raising its hands, and a massive Shadow Ball formed in its grasp.
Whoosh—
Hippowdon, one of the Four Champions, quickly recovered from his shock at Gramps' transformation.
Facing the incoming Shadow Ball, he immediately shouted:
"Gyarados, close-range battle!"
"Hululu!"
Gyarados stomped the ground, sending up a cloud of debris, and without hesitation, it unleashed a barrage of punches at the flying Shadow Ball.
Each punch landed with a flash of dark red light.
As Gyarados was about to stubbornly withstand the Shadow Ball again, Jinghe's lips curled slightly.
Since he had already given the audience a shock, he might as well give them a little more.
"Gramps!" Jinghe shouted.
"Hengga!"
Super Gramps turned to look at him, "Full power, Shadow Ball!"
"Hengga!"
Super Gramps' smile turned even more sinister, and he licked his tongue, nodding vigorously.
The next second.
It raised its hands, and a tiny black sphere appeared between them.
But just as everyone thought Gramps was struggling to create such a small Shadow Ball, the tiny black ball spun rapidly and swelled.
Hmm?
Darkrai looked on in surprise as a wisp of black mist separated from its body.
It quickly merged with the black ball.
At the same time.
In Gramps' Dimensional Stomach, the extinguished phone flashed twice, and a wisp of black mist also floated out.
As it appeared, Darkrai jerked its head up, staring at Gramps in disbelief.
But the feeling quickly vanished, leaving it to wonder if it was just an illusion.
In just a few blinks, Gramps' hands already held an enormous black sphere.
Hippowdon and Gyarados, who had just shattered the Shadow Ball, couldn't help but swallow.
Even the Kiku Overlord couldn't teach this move.
"Gyarados!!" Hippowdon suddenly reacted, roaring loudly.
"Hululu!!"
Gyarados also roared, its body enveloped in a surge of dark red light, its aura skyrocketing.
With No Guard, Gyarados had no defense.
Bang!!
The ground suddenly cracked, and Gyarados charged forward without hesitation.
It moved at a speed no one could clearly see, reaching Gramps' front.
It swung its fist.
And smashed down!
But Super Gramps showed no fear, licking its tongue again, and with its lower body's strength, it smashed the enormous Shadow Ball towards Gyarados.
The next moment.
Hum—
The entire world seemed to quiet down, leaving only the intertwining and colliding colors of black and dark red energy, soon engulfed by a vast white light.
Boom!!
After the silence, there was a roar like a meteor impact.
And when everything dissipated.
On the field.
Besides the ruins on the ground, only Gyarados lay among the debris, its eyes spinning.
After a while.
A gap opened in the field, and Gramps, having ended its Mega Evolution, crawled out of the ruins, panting heavily, its teeth bared.
"Heng~ga~!"
It struggled to straighten its back, hands on hips.
Still! There! Who!
The venue was on fire.
"Holy sht! Gramps is so cool!"
Cheers echoed through the clouds.
In less than ten minutes, a paper signed by Dr. Bratan was published, with Jinghe's name attached—'On the Reality and Feasibility of Super Evolution.'
It shook the entire League.
And on this day, the League's server, for the first time, experienced two consecutive crashes!
