Chapter 564: The Final Showdown!
Chapter 564: The Final Showdown!
Danti finally had the opportunity to switch in his backup Pokemon.
However, to be honest, his options were now limited. Aside from Blaziken, he only had two other Pokemon left for substitution.
But for Danti, as long as he didn't give Jinghe the advantage of switching in his backup Pokemon, it would be a significant achievement.
The reason was that Jinghe had an exceptional understanding of Pokemon, including how to effectively counter opponents, and allowing him to switch in his backup Pokemon would have a substantial impact on Danti.
H
As Blaziken's trainer, Danti was well aware of the impact the "Shape Shifter" Ability could have on the battle and its ability to alter the situation.

"Go, Jynx!"
"Danti's fifth Pokemon is Jynx!" the announcer shouted.
Resembling a gentleman in a tuxedo, holding a crystal cane, sporting a handlebar mustache, and wearing ice skates like a tap dancer, Jynx initially appeared like a comedic version of Charlie Chaplin.
Jynx was a unique Pokemon to the Galar region, evolving from a Galarian Mr. Mime, while Mr. Mime from other regions couldn't evolve.
"Hmm~"
Due to the previous Ice Nine Tails, the field was still covered with ice crystals and snow, transforming almost the entire arena into an ice rink.
This provided Jynx with the perfect stage for its performance.
As it stretched its legs and tapped its skates, the snow and ice beneath its feet transformed into a smooth ice surface, creating a perfect skating rink.
O
On the other side was Jynx, skating gracefully with its ice skates and holding a crystal cane, looking somewhat comical.
To an outsider, it might have seemed like a circus performance.
"Hngga?"

"Jynx, the Ice/Psychic-type Pokemon, is an excellent tap dancer and comedic performer, Loto!"
Loto reported faithfully, reducing the effectiveness of Jinghe's Pokedex during the battle.

To counter Jynx, a Psychic/Ice-type Pokemon, the Dark-type was an excellent choice. Not only was it immune to Psychic-type moves, but it was also not weak against Ice-type moves.

More importantly, as a Dark-type Pokemon, it wouldn't be affected by Taunt.

"Jynx!"
"Hmm!"

At the same time, Danti smiled slightly, "Jynx, Role Play!"
"Hmm..."

Geng-gui's eyes widened, and it turned to look at Jinghe.
"Hngga! (Д)σ"
It was imitating me! It was imitating me!
Geng-gui had always been the one to disguise itself as other Pokemon, but this was the first time it had encountered someone else impersonating it.
Jinghe's lips twitched.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
As Jynx, who had been disguised as Geng-gui, used its 'Shape Shifter' ability to transform into a Ghost-type, the previous 'Dark Pulse' successfully shattered Jynx's 'Light Screen', and it continued its assault.
Seeing this, Danti waved his hand and shouted, "Jynx, use 'Mist'!"
Before the strange mist could even spread, Jynx's ability changed to 'Fairy' due to its 'Shape Shifter' ability.
Fairy-type Pokemon have double resistance to Dark-type moves!
Boom!!
Jynx was hit by the 'Dark Pulse' and suffered the impact, but it was much less severe than imagined.
As Jynx was blown away, a pink, strange field began to spread, eventually covering the entire arena.
"It's over, it's over. My mind can't keep up," some of the spectators in the audience felt their brains couldn't handle the situation.
"It's simple. Geng-gui became a Dark-type, Jynx became a new dance, and now their abilities are both 'Shape Shifter', which only works when using the first move."
Of course, there were also spectators who understood what was happening.
The intuitive type advantage judgment now required a mental calculation.
The mist field continued to spread.
This was another counter to Geng-gui's abilities.
Under the mist field, all Pokemon on the ground would not be affected by any status conditions or confusion.
How annoying!
Geng-gui was getting a little angry.
We were doing fine with our 'Shape Shifter' ability, but you had to copy it.
Copying was one thing, but then you had to use 'Mist'.
This rendered all of Geng-gui's moves that inflicted negative status effects on its opponents useless, and even the effectiveness of 'Dark Hole' was uncertain.
The plan to impersonate 'Little Darkrai' was ruined!
Fairy-type Pokemon are most vulnerable to Steel-type and Poison-type moves. Although Geng-gui was skilled in Poison-type moves, the presence of the mist field prevented Jynx from being poisoned.
As commonly known, the concept of being poisoned and not being poisoned by Poison-type moves are completely different.
The key point was that Geng-gui didn't know any field-type moves and couldn't cover the field.
Jinghe gently pushed up his single-lens glasses.
Why cover the field?
"Geng-gui."
Jinghe could sense Geng-gui's emotions and knew that the purple-skinned chubby Pokemon was about to throw a tantrum, which was not good news for its opponent.
Of course, it wasn't good news for the opponent.
"Max power, 'Mud Wave'!"
"Hngga! (Д)σ"
Geng-gui was furious, and the consequences were severe! It took a deep breath, and its body strangely swelled to almost double its size. Then, a thick, viscous, foul-smelling, putrid current was released from its body.
Whoosh!
The mud wave formed a tide that spread wildly in all directions, with Geng-gui at its center.
Wherever it passed, everything seemed to emit a "hiss" as if being corroded. The rocks and ice left from previous battles, and even the ice surface created by Jynx, were all corroded and swallowed.
Danti's expression changed.
Such a powerful poison!
Everyone knew that Jinghe's Geng-gui had powerful Ghost-type moves, but this was the first time in this championship that Geng-gui had displayed its Poison-type abilities.
"Jynx, use 'Light Screen'! Be careful of the poison!"
Even without being poisoned, the impact of the poison on Jynx, now a Fairy-type, was still a significant threat.
"Oof!"
Jynx quickly erected a 'Light Screen' to protect itself.
The correct version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar First Release Novel.
Whoosh!
The thick, putrid mud continued to spread, covering the entire field, and even after that, it didn't stop. It directly collided with the protective barrier of the arena.
A faint "hiss" sound could be heard.
"No, no way! Is it going to corrode and break the arena's protective barrier?"
"Oh no! Is the poison this intense? I almost forgot that Geng-gui was originally a Poison-type Pokemon."
"Staff! Staff! Quickly reinforce the protection, I'm a little scared."
Spectators in the front rows instinctively curled their legs.
Fortunately, the staff at the arena seemed well-prepared and immediately reinforced the arena's barrier.
However.
The arena's barrier could be reinforced, but Jynx's 'Light Screen' inside the field...
Hisssssss...
Jynx's 'Light Screen' also emitted a "hiss" sound.
"Ugh!"
Fortunately, even though the Ice Skater Puppet couldn't be repaired, it could still create a thick wall of light.
However, the corrosive power of Mud Wave was growing stronger, and a purple mist carrying a stench began to rise.
On the Ice Skater Puppet's body, a faint purple haze appeared.
Poisoned?!
But isn't this a Mist Maker field?
"The field!"
"It's gone!"
At this moment, some of the more observant spectators finally noticed this.
How is this possible?
Can Mud Wave even clear the field? A regular Mud Wave wouldn't be able to do this, but the Mud Wave released by Gramps this time, in Gramps's words, is—
After eating so many Life Orbs over the years and absorbing so much poison, after cultivating such thick venom (crossed out) toxic fluid for so long, isn't this the time for it to take effect?
Are you joking with me?
Jinghe could only think that when Little Zhi was battling Danti, even Onion Ranger's "Slash" could shatter the field. With the entire field covered in highly toxic Mud Wave, what can't it clear?
Besides, White Cabbage's Braviary could tear through the Illusion Space. What's a mere Mist Maker field compared to that?
Reality, after all, cannot be completely replaced by the concepts of a game.
Ice Skater Puppet, poisoned!
Mist Maker field, gone!
Along with it, everything on the field at this moment disappeared, leaving only numerous pits and holes, and even the metal supports underneath the field could be vaguely seen.
"Hengga!"
Gramps excitedly shouted.
My home field is back! Danti immediately snapped out of his daze.
He knew that during battles, some things couldn't be reasoned with, just like his Charizard, who often didn't follow reason either.
But this time, the unreasonable one was the opponent.
"Ice Skater Puppet, Mystic Guard!"
Since the Mist Maker field didn't work, there must be another way.
But...
After working so hard to create a Mist Maker field, something that was a hindrance to Gramps, how could Gramps let the Ice Skater Puppet release Mystic Guard?
As they watched, a strong Dark Type energy surged from Gramps, and he rubbed his hands together, forming a black ball, but it wasn't a Shadow Ball, it was—
"Dark Hole!"
Buzz—
The sphere, like a dark hole, instantly enveloped the Ice Skater Puppet, not even allowing its Mystic Guard to take effect.
When the dark hole vanished—
Bang—
The Ice Skater Puppet fell to the ground, fast asleep.
"Ice Skater Puppet!" Danti shouted upon seeing this, but the Ice Skater Puppet showed no signs of waking up.
"Hengga~~"
Gramps grinned sinisterly, rubbing his palms together and slowly approaching the Ice Skater Puppet.
It rarely uses abilities like Hypnosis in battles these days.
On one hand, it's because it can easily leave opponents with psychological scars that are hard to recover from, and Jinghe doesn't allow it.
On the other hand, Gramps finds it more fun to play with opponents who move and react, what's the point of facing an opponent who just lies there, soft and compliant?
But this time, Gramps was a bit angry, so...
Boom—
On the giant screen, the Ice Skater Puppet's icon dimmed.
"Ice Skater Puppet, unable to battle!" The referee, hiding in the corner and full of regret, announced the result.
Danti's fourth Pokemon had lost its ability to battle.
Aside from Blaziken, there was only...
"The real tough one is here," Jinghe muttered.
Da Ye's ace, Flame Monkey, could sweep Herona's three Pokemon under the effect of Blast Seed, only to be defeated by Braviary in the end.
Danti's Charizard is definitely stronger than Da Ye's Flame Monkey, and the bond between them is definitely no weaker than Da Ye's.
Therefore, even though they have the advantage in the number of remaining Pokemon, Jinghe dares not underestimate the situation.
If one is not careful, they might capsize in a ditch. If Danti's Charizard were to take out six Pokemon in a row, then Jinghe would likely—
"Hengga!" Gramps patted his belly and shouted.
I'm angry! I won't back down!
Gramps expressed that it wanted to take on ten opponents, and this was just one of them.
Not enough! Far from enough!
Danti held the last Poke Ball, head lowered, eyes flickering, a belief and determination manifesting.
With the last Pokemon, there was nothing left to hesitate about, nothing left to worry about.
"Go! My partner, Charizard!"
"Roar!"
A wave of heat swept through the entire field as Charizard appeared, its wings flapping, creating a howling hot wind.
Gramps was disoriented in the heat.
"Hengga."
What a fierce one.
It turned to look at Jinghe and pointed at Charizard.
"Hengga?"
What if this one counts as nine?
Jinghe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded slightly.
"Good!"
It's just an ace Pokemon, right?
Who isn't an ace Pokemon?
Since Gramps doesn't want to back down, let it have a battle with Charizard, an ace versus ace!
