Chapter 516: Is Your Galarian Mr. Rime Even Legal?!
Chapter 516: Is Your Galarian Mr. Rime Even Legal?!
The platform, illuminated by the flashing neon lights, was packed with spectators. Some held up cheer sticks, others wore headbands with the contestants' numbers, and a few had even gone bare-chested, enthusiastically shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Oh yeah! Sweet Cold Beauty, I wanna drink your foot sweat!"
"Go for it, Muscular Man! Tear everyone apart with your sexy, strong muscles!"
"It's all up to you now, Exeggutor Man!"
"......"
"Whoa!" Commentator Roger stood on a floating platform, microphone in hand, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he looked down at the stage. "The fans are really passionate! All three contestants are in perfect condition, and it looks like today's battle will be incredibly intense!"
"Ooh!"
A monkey-like cry echoed from the audience.
However, Roger deftly steered the conversation towards the contestant named Wing King.
"But where are Wing King's fans? Wing King and his ace Duck have made it this far, cutting down opponents along the way!"
Suddenly, the audience fell silent.
People turned their attention to the unfamiliar young man standing on the platform, along with the tiny Pokemon in front of him, and began to whisper among themselves.
Roger noticed this and at first, didn't understand what was happening.
But when he turned his gaze to the stage, he saw something that shocked him to the core.
Wing King had changed the Pokemon he was sending out!
"Oh my! Wing King has changed his Pokemon. It's not Duck, but a Mr. Rime from the Galar region!"
Roger's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
Mr. Rime, native to the Galar region, were small in stature and not particularly skilled in battle. They were far better suited to shining in pastry shops than engaging in intense fights on the battlefield.
Even in their place of origin, Galar, very few trainers would choose to use Mr. Rime in battles.
This was because they were incredibly weak! Even their signature moves were support-oriented: "Decorate," "Aromatherapy," and "Aroma Veil."
And now, in such a critical contest, Wing King had benched the powerful Duck and sent out this harmless little Pokemon? A big question mark loomed in Roger's mind at that moment.
The four contestants on the platform had all sent out their Pokemon, and now, with the sound of the ringing bells, a chaotic free-for-all was about to commence.
Under the spotlight, Blaziken, its waist cinched with a flaming championship belt, glared fiercely at its opponents. Its red feathers barely concealed the rippling muscles, and its sharp claws, sheathed within padded paws, glinted with an eerie light.
Exeggutor, towering in height, had three heads on its neck and a fourth on its tail, each keeping a vigilant watch on their surroundings.
Its long neck twisted with an audible cracking sound as if preparing for action, and its massive heads quivered eagerly, seemingly ready to slam into its foes without further ado.
Sweet Cold Beauty stood icily beneath the spotlight, her gaze a mix of arrogance and contempt. Her slender legs shimmered with a bizarre purple glow.
Though she appeared elegant, anyone familiar with this species of Pokemon knew that once the battle began, she would mercilessly trample her enemies underfoot with her cruel heart and graceful limbs.
In contrast, the Mr. Rime facing the other three Pokemon seemed innocuously soft and adorable amidst the crowd.
With sweet and innocent eyes, it curiously gazed at the three Pokemon before it.
"Did Wing King bring the wrong Pokemon?" Roger couldn't help but ask through his microphone.
If he didn't speak up now, once the match started, that poor Mr. Rime would be at the mercy of the other three opponents, toyed with and humiliated.
Hearing this, Naoki stiffened slightly before realizing that the commentator was addressing him.
He felt like it was a bit of an overreaction, but he still shook his head towards Roger to indicate that he didn't need to change Pokemon.
The other three contestants also shot him surprised looks.
Exeggutor Man wore an Exeggutor onesie and appeared to be a slim man.
Muscular Man was aptly named, his body a testament to his dedication to physical strength.
And the trainer of Sweet Cold Beauty was a tall woman dressed as a bunny girl, her face hidden behind a mask.
"Hey, what's the joke here?" The hot-tempered Muscular Man felt like the young man before them was underestimating their prowess.
Naoki: "......"
Mr. Rime sensed its opponent's disdainful gaze and immediately spoke up in Naoki's defense: "Ma-ma!"
"Hmph, in that case, I, Muscular Man, will be taking your points!" Muscular Man scoffed.
"Ahem, it seems like the contestants are fired up and ready to go!"
Seeing that Wing King didn't need to change Pokemon, Roger continued, "That's the spirit! This is how it should be! Matches filled with tension and rivalry are far more exciting! And so, I declare the match... begun!"
"Ding-a-ling-a-ling!"
The air was filled with the sound of jingling bells.
On the stage, the long-necked Exeggutor turned its three heads in unison, their eyes glowing with a blue light.
In an instant, a potent force imbued with sleep-inducing energy invaded Sweet Cold Beauty's mind.
Sweet Cold Beauty frowned slightly and decisively lashed herself with a powerful whip, forcing herself to stay awake despite the hypnosis.
Just then, a deep voice rang out from another direction.
"Blaziken, use Sky Uppercut!"
"Roar!"
As the command was given, Blaziken's body gathered Dark-type energy, which coalesced into a piercing sound wave that swept across the entire stage.
Affected by the move, both Exeggutor and Sweet Cold Beauty contorted their faces in pain.
Watching this unfold, Naoki couldn't help but smirk.
Their "weakest" Pokemon had been completely ignored by the other three!
"Mr. Rime, use Finger Wag!" Naoki narrowed his eyes and gave his command in a low voice.
Anticipating this opportunity, Mr. Rime immediately looked delighted.
"Ma-ma!"
It let out an adorable cry and then started to shake its finger gently.
"Wow! It's a free-for-all! I can't believe Exeggutor chose to go after Sweet Cold Beauty first!"
"Wow, Sweet Cold Beauty used self-flagellation to avoid falling asleep!"
"Oh no! Blaziken has joined the fray! Its Sky Uppercut move is affecting all the other Pokemon! This is an intense battle!"
The audience erupted into enthusiastic shouts.
Commentator Roger described the chaotic scene on the stage, speaking rapidly.
"All three Pokemon are tangled up again! Wing King's being ignored!"
As he spoke, Roger's gaze shifted to Wing King.
And at that moment, he noticed Mr. Rime doing something peculiar.
"Hey? What's Mr. Rime doing?!"
"It's wagging its finger! That move, could it be Finger Wag?! Oh my! Wing King is having Mr. Rime use that kind of move?!"
Everyone knew that Finger Wag was a highly unpredictable move! In regular Pokemon battles, trainers only resorted to having their Pokemon use that move when they were completely out of options!
And now...
At that moment, Roger found himself wondering what move Mr. Rime would "wag" out.
As Mr. Rime wagged its finger, a sudden change occurred.
A purple energy suddenly burst from Mr. Rime's body, shooting straight up into the sky.
Then, a cloud filled with terrifying energy appeared above the stage, with flashes of fire within, as if something ominous was brewing.
Blaziken, Sweet Cold Beauty, and Exeggutor, as if sensing something, abruptly stopped their attacks and looked up.
The next second, accompanied by a rumbling sound, huge meteors with sparks of fire, like celestial asteroids, came crashing down!
It was... Dragon Meteor!
Roger's eyes widened in shock as the falling meteors reflected in his eyes. The intense pressure caused him to grip the microphone tightly, his voice shaking as he exclaimed:
"Oh my! Mr. Rime's Finger Wag just triggered Dragon Meteor!"
"Danger! Get out of the way!" Exeggutor Man, realizing the threat, immediately chose to stop fighting the other two Pokemon.
Muscular Man and Sweet Cold Beauty's trainer also tacitly agreed to have their Pokemon, Blaziken and Sweet Cold Beauty, dodge the attack.
If they got hit by the wide-range Dragon Meteor, it would be disastrous!
With a rumbling sound, the huge Dragon Meteors continued to fall onto the stage.
Blaziken and Sweet Cold Beauty, taking advantage of their speed and reaction time, swiftly dodged the falling meteors.
However, Exeggutor, due to its bulky size, was directly hit by two Dragon Meteors.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and Exeggutor was engulfed in flames.
Blaziken and Sweet Cold Beauty were also affected by the blast.
The meteor shower lasted for almost a minute, and by the time the last meteor fell, the entire stage was riddled with craters.
Exeggutor lay on the ground, unable to battle anymore, while Blaziken and Sweet Cold Beauty had also sustained significant damage, looking disheveled and battered.
"..."
Witnessing this scene, the audience gasped in unison.
The opening move, Dragon Meteor, had directly taken out Exeggutor and severely wounded Blaziken and Sweet Cold Beauty.
What exactly was this Mr. Rime capable of?!
"It's just a fluke!"
Muscular Man was a bit skeptical. That boy's luck was just too outrageous. But no matter what, it would end here!
"Blaziken, use Abyssal Strike!"
As the command was given, Blaziken's sharp claws sprang from its padded paws, black energy spreading up and transforming into terrifying black spikes that rushed towards Mr. Rime.
Facing the charging Blaziken, Naoki remained calm and gave his command, "Mr. Rime, keep using Finger Wag."
"Ma-ma!"
Mr. Rime showed no fear and once again wagged its finger.
"Muscular Man is making his move! Is he trying to take out Mr. Rime first? Hey, Mr. Rime is using Finger Wag again!" Roger spoke rapidly, his eyes glued to the unfolding events.
And at that moment, Mr. Rime's body suddenly glowed with a bright green light.
The intensely verdant glow instantly enveloped Mr. Rime's small body.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the audience, Mr. Rime's body transformed into a green ball of light that shot forward with incredible speed!
Perhaps due to its swiftness, it left a distinct green trail on the platform!
Wait! The trail had pierced through Blaziken!
On the platform, the black energy on Blaziken's claws gradually faded away.
This muscular Pokemon, taken aback by the turn of events, stood there with its mouth agape, its expression one of sheer disbelief.
It lowered its head to look at its abdomen and let out a confused "Err..." from its throat.
The next second, Blaziken felt darkness engulf its vision, and it collapsed, unconscious.
"It happened! Mr. Rime used an unseen move to defeat Blaziken! This is truly unbelievable!" Roger muttered, his eyes wide with astonishment.
Seeing this, Naoki heaved a sigh of relief.
Lie Paodao's (Blaziken's)
Dragon Meteor was a crucial turning point, and it was fortunate that it was executed at the right moment.
Now, there was only one opponent left!
"Mr. Rime, use Finger Wag again!" Naoki commanded.
The woman also reacted, realizing that Mr. Rime seemed to have a unique mastery of the Finger Wag move.
It must not be allowed to use that move again!
"Sweet Cold Beauty, use Grass Slide to stop it!"
Sweet Cold Beauty immediately struck a sliding pose. Green light emanated from her legs as if she were sliding, and she swiftly moved across the platform, kicking Mr. Rime away.
The disruption caused Mr. Rime to falter, and it got up, dusting itself off.
Sweet Cold Beauty didn't plan on giving it a break.
"Power Whip!"
A slender vine whip extended from Sweet Cold Beauty's body with lightning speed.
She gripped the whip in her hand and lashed it toward the platform with a sharp crack.
"Mr. Rime, defend!"
"Ma-ma!"
Mr. Rime quickly raised its arm horizontally in front of itself, and with a flash of white light, it successfully blocked Sweet Cold Beauty's attack!
"Do it again!" Naoki quickly instructed.
Mr. Rime immediately turned its gaze toward Sweet Cold Beauty.
The next second, Sweet Cold Beauty's movements became erratic, and it summoned the whip once more!
"Sweet Cold Beauty, control yourself!" the woman shouted.
However, it was too late.
Taking advantage of Sweet Cold Beauty's focus on summoning the whip, Naoki seized the opportunity and commanded, "Great! Now's the chance! Finger Wag!"
"Ma-ma!"
Mr. Rime began wagging its finger again.
"Wow! This is amazing! Wing King is using Repeat to stop Sweet Cold Beauty from interrupting Finger Wag!" Roger exclaimed excitedly. "Mr. Rime is wagging its finger again. What move will it bring out this time?"
Sweet Cold Beauty summoned the vine whip.
She raised her hand high and swung it, sending the whip flying toward Mr. Rime.
At this critical moment, Mr. Rime stopped wagging its finger.
This signaled that the Finger Wag move had been successfully executed!
The next second, under the gaze of the audience, Mr. Rime's body suddenly erupted with a dazzling milky-white light.
The light expanded rapidly, eventually forming a brilliant sphere.
The sphere first deflected Sweet Cold Beauty's vine whip, and then, with a whoosh, it shot toward the sky above the platform.
"!!!"
"That's..."
"What move is that?"
At that moment, all the spectators in the arena looked up, their eyes fixed on the sky.
The sphere hovered in mid-air for a second, and then, a terrifying energy burst forth from within.
Dazzling white light instantly enveloped the entire arena, followed by countless milky-white energy bullets shooting out in all directions.
In an instant, the entire platform was engulfed, akin to a satellite beam cannon indiscriminately striking downward.
Mr. Rime stood amidst the energy bullets, its eyes filled with determination as it gazed at Sweet Cold Beauty, who was also overwhelmed by the onslaught.
After a moment, when everything returned to calm, only Mr. Rime was left standing on the platform.
The audience members opened their mouths, their expressions frozen as they stared at the fallen Sweet Cold Beauty and the unwavering Mr. Rime still standing tall.
"..."
Silence.
In that moment, it felt as if the entire venue had been muted.
