Chapter 577: Kirlia's Cataclysmic Wish, Instantly Defeating the Champion, Shocking the Audience!
In the afternoon, Shizuru hosted five or six trainers who came to challenge the Gym.
By 4 p.m., all the trainers who had signed up earlier had completed their challenges.
During the process, Shizuru awarded three Gym Badges, while the unsuccessful trainers planned to go back and undergo targeted special training before returning for another attempt.
Of course, there were also a few trainers who felt that the Gym Leader of Nangguang Gym was too powerful for them to handle.
So, they decided to continue their journey, challenging other Gyms first and returning to Nangguang Gym later for a rematch.
Qi Shu mentioned that this was the nature of being a Gym Leader; busy when there were challengers and idle when there weren't any.
Just like now, with the trainers gone, the entire central square became quiet, leaving Shizuru with nothing to do.
Glancing at the time, it was already 4:07 p.m., and he could leave work in a few minutes.
"There probably won't be any more challengers today," Shizuru thought to himself, preparing to return to the Gym for a short rest before heading back to the ranch with everyone.
Looking at the Pokemon by his side, Shizuru smiled at them, "Good job today, everyone!"
Pikachu was delighted, "Pika~!"
Raichu, exhausted from the day's events, lay on the ground, looking drained, "Pii..."
Palkia, as always, held its head high with pride, as if these Pokemon were too weak to be of any concern.
"Well, that's it for today."
Shizuru summoned the Lotad Phone, preparing to end the live stream.
But just then, he received a message from Anya, informing him that a new trainer had just registered for a challenge.
Hmm? A trainer at this hour?
It seemed like his rest would have to wait.
Shizuru sighed, informed the Pokemon, and then stretched his limbs before returning to his position as the Gym Leader.
At the same time, he received detailed information about the trainer.
[Name: Wright, Hometown: Unova Region, Gym Badges Collected: 0, Background: Unova League Tournament Champion]
"Zero Gym Badges..." Initially, Shizuru thought it was another novice trainer, but when he saw the background information, he was stunned.
Champion? The Unova League Tournament Champion?
This was unexpected; a Tournament Champion was challenging his Gym. If Yaci were here, she would probably try to recruit this opponent without hesitation.
Since this was the case, he would let this trainer help Yaci. Soon, a figure slowly emerged from the entrance across the square.
It was a young man dressed in extravagant clothing, around fifteen or sixteen years old, with golden long hair, an arrogant demeanor, and an elite appearance.
The young man named Wright squinted his eyes, sizing up the Gym Leader.
Shizuru noticed his peculiar gaze, feeling a bit odd, and after a brief moment of silence, he spoke as he usually did, "Welcome to Nangguang Gym, I'm the Gym Leader, Shizuru. The rules for this Gym battle are..."
Shizuru was about to say 6v6, but considering the strength of his Pokemon, he changed his mind, "3v3, each trainer can only use three Pokemon, until..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, the young man interrupted.
"No need for 3v3, let's have a full 6v6 battle, show me your full strength, and let me see the power of the Paldea's first Gym!"
Seeing this, Shizuru couldn't help but raise a series of question marks in his mind.
???
This guy was definitely not here to play nice!
Meanwhile, the chat exploded with comments.
[Isn't this the guy who vowed to challenge Nangguang Gym?]
[Just arrived, can someone explain what's going on?]
[In short, this person didn't believe in the Gym Leader's strength, and when challenged by netizens, he couldn't take it and decided to prove himself by challenging the Gym to show those who doubted and insulted him.]
[I know him! He's the champion from a few years back in the Unova Region!]
Some sharp-eyed viewers recognized Wright's identity.
Others quickly asked for more information.
[He's very strong. In his first year of traveling, five years ago, he and his Pokemon swept through the League Tournament, becoming the champion of that year.]
[A Tournament Champion? Does that mean he has champion-level strength?]
[I don't think so. I'm an insider in the Unova League, and according to rumors, he challenged Champion Mr. Adak five years ago but lost. However, five years have passed, so his current strength is unknown.]
Upon reading these messages, the viewers were shocked.
Does that mean this person has the strength of an Elite Four member? After all, challenging the Champion requires defeating the Elite Four first.
[An Elite Four-level trainer challenging a Gym Leader, isn't that a bit unfair?]
[Hey, don't underestimate Mr. Shizuru! He's not an ordinary Gym Leader; his true strength will shock you so much you might pee your pants!]
The young man across from him maintained his arrogant demeanor.
"During the battle, you can switch Pokemon at any time. There's no need to send out those weak, pathetic Pokemon by your side again; it's an insult to me!"
Hearing this, Shizuru fell silent.
So, this person was indeed here to challenge the Gym. The audience around the square also noticed this strange occurrence.
The crowd grew quiet, leaving only whispers.
"What's up with that trainer? He doesn't seem to be here for a serious challenge!"
"His gaze is so arrogant, as if looking down on country bumpkins. I don't like that."
Shizuru sighed softly.
He had originally planned to let this person, who was under Adeke's command, win as a courtesy, but now it seemed unnecessary.
"As you wish," Shizuru said.
The boy moved his wrist, and a luxury ball was thrown into the sky.
Accompanied by a flash of white light, a Pokemon with three heads, covered in blue-black fur, and with three pairs of wings on its back appeared on the battlefield.
That was... Trikekyu! This Pokemon was rumored to be extremely ferocious. It would flap its six wings to stay airborne, attacking anything that moved in its sight and devouring everything with its three heads.
"Tsk, starting with a Johto Region Legendary Pokemon, this Trainer is indeed extraordinary!" Shizuru thought to himself.
Wright saw the other person's gaze towards Trikekyu, and his eyes immediately filled with pride and arrogance.
"Your turn," he said.
Shizuru didn't hesitate and took out a Poke Ball.
Palkia had been fighting all day and must be tired.
Since that was the case, it was time to send out this Pokemon! A flash of white light appeared, and in the eyes of the crowd, a small, star-shaped, soft and adorable Pokemon emerged opposite the ferocious and terrifying Trikekyu.
Seeing this Pokemon, the live-stream viewers were all stunned, and then quickly started typing question marks, as they had never seen this kind of Pokemon before.
【???】
【Another brand new Pokemon!】
【What Pokemon is this?】
Soon, someone recognized it based on Kirlia's appearance.
【I know, it's Kirlia! The legendary Wish Star, a Pokemon that can grant any wish! But it's a bit strange... According to the legend, Kirlia can only awaken for seven days every thousand years. Could it be that it's currently within those seven days?】
【Kirlia...】
If this was true, then Kirlia was an incredibly rare Pokemon! Awakening once every thousand years, and only for seven days at a time, this Pokemon's rarity even surpassed legendary Pokemon like Palkia!
And Mr. Shizuru had managed to capture such a Pokemon... How impressive!
However, this Kirlia looked so fragile, and from its appearance, it didn't seem like the type of Pokemon skilled in battles.
Moreover, after a thousand years of slumber, without any opportunity for special training, its strength probably wouldn't have improved at all, right? Could this Pokemon be a match for Trikekyu, a battle-hardened opponent whose strength was likely at the Champion level? Some people couldn't help but worry for Shizuru.
In the square, as the referee blew his whistle, the Gym battle officially began! Wright decided to use an aggressive strategy.
"Trikekyu, use Crush!"
Trikekyu roared and flapped its three pairs of dragon wings, charging towards Kirlia.
"Kirlia, Cataclysmic Wish."
Kirlia looked at the oncoming Trikekyu with gentle eyes, blinked, and said to Trikekyu:
"This is going to hurt! But Kirlia wants to help Shizuru, so sorry, you'll have to endure it!"
Trikekyu felt provoked and immediately lost its rationality, falling into a state of rage.
The moment Kirlia finished speaking, its third eye on its forehead suddenly opened.
A vast energy, like a mighty ocean, surged out and transformed into a pure milky white light, enveloping Kirlia's small body.
In the blink of an eye, Kirlia transformed into a huge ball of light, and Trikekyu, unable to brake in time, collided with it.
The next second, the ball of light moved, lifting Trikekyu and accelerating towards the sky.
The dazzling white light made Kirlia look like a shining sun.
"Trikekyu!" Wright furrowed his brows.
When the ball of light reached a certain height, it suddenly exploded in mid-air.
The explosion wasn't just Kirlia's Steel-type energy; it also contained the immense energy of the thousand-year comet that Kirlia had absorbed.
In an instant, like a small nuclear bomb, the entire sky rippled with a white halo, blooming like fireworks.
Seeing this, the surrounding spectators and live-stream viewers all widened their eyes, stunned and unable to believe what they were witnessing.
Immediately after, everyone saw a black figure falling from the sky like a kite with a broken string, and then it crashed onto the battlefield.
The enormous impact created a pit in the square, and for a moment, dust and smoke filled the air. Trikekyu lay at the bottom of the pit, its eyes closed, its tongue hanging out of its mouth, and its body twisted to one side.
A one-hit knockout!
"Trikekyu has fainted!" The referee quickly recovered and checked Trikekyu's condition before announcing the result of the battle.
"Trikekyu!"
Wright's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The "weak" Kirlia slowly descended from the sky, looking bewildered at the scene.
Undoubtedly, this powerful Trikekyu had been knocked out by Kirlia in one move! The audience finally reacted and started frantically typing in the live stream.
【Arceus! The battle ended in an instant...】
【What move was that...】
【Wasn't Kirlia supposed to be a Pokemon not skilled in combat? Why did such terrifying power explode from its body!】
【Even a Champion-level Trikekyu was knocked out in one move, just how powerful is this Kirlia?
】
【Previously, someone said that Palkia wasn't the strongest Pokemon of this Gym Leader, and I didn't believe it. But now I do!】
The live comments kept floating by, and Shizuru calmly gazed at the young man across from him, asking, "Do you want to continue?"
Wright felt a sudden rush of panic, followed by a sense of inexplicable shame.
Why? Why was this person so powerful? If he was so strong, why did he send out Pokemon like Pikachu and Raichu to battle? The pride of nobility wouldn't allow him to just give up.
He could still fight, and not all his Pokemon had fainted yet!
Wright recalled Trikekyu into its Poke Ball and then took out a second Poke Ball.
A white light flashed, and Solgaleo appeared on the battlefield.
However, three minutes later, Solgaleo also fell to Kirlia's Cataclysmic Wish.
The third battle, Master Fox, was over in an instant! The fourth battle, Volcarona, was defeated in a flash! The fifth battle, Braviary, was also finished in a second!
The sixth battle, Hydreigon, was over in a blink!
At this moment, the entire arena was stunned!
Whether it was the spectators around the square or the viewers in the live stream, everyone had the same thought in their minds.
That Kirlia... What terrifying power!
【Do you know what I want to say the most right now?】
【What?】
【If Kirlia is this strong, then what about the other two Pokemon the Gym Leader has left? How powerful are they...】
With these words, countless people began to speculate about the two remaining Pokemon that the Gym Leader hadn't used yet, wondering what they were and how strong they might be.
In the square.
Looking at his beloved Pokemon, all defeated by Kirlia's moves, Wright felt as if he had suffered a tremendous blow.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and he was sure that all the online viewers were laughing at him.
Seeing this, Shizuru sighed, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, you didn't pass the Gym's test. I can't give you the badge, so please leave."
Wright looked at the Trainer across from him, took a deep breath, recalled his Pokemon into their Poke Balls, turned around, and left without a word.
His strength was still too weak... He needed to continue his training.
Shizuru rubbed his head, unsure where this person had come from.
It was all so strange...
But it was almost time to get off work, and he should head home! "Kirlia, you did well!" Shizuru patted Kirlia's little head.
Kirlia happily flew around Shizuru, saying, "I'm so glad I could help! Kirlia loves seeing Shizuru happy!"
Shizuru smiled, "With all of you here, I'm happy every day."
With the last Trainer leaving, Nangguang Gym finally had some peace and quiet.
Shizuru turned off the live stream, stayed at the Gym until the end of his shift, and then hurried back to the ranch.
As he arrived, Gogoat came to greet him, and Shizuru gave it a kiss on its forehead.
"Ah, Shizuru!"
Qi Shu brought Eevil Pom and the others to welcome him, her eyes shining brightly, "You're back?"
"Yeah."
The couple hugged, and Qi Shu returned to the room to get Shizuru's slippers, "Dinner is ready, come and wash your hands, and let's eat!"
Shizuru entered the house and, as expected, saw a sumptuous dinner on the table. His heart warmed, and he couldn't help but speak, "You didn't have to work so hard. We could have made dinner when I got back."
"It's not as exaggerated as you think. I've been at home all day, and I'm about to turn into a grass type!" Qi Shu smiled, revealing her white teeth, "This is nothing!"
Shizuru smiled, "Okay, I just don't want you to overwork yourself."
He went to wash his hands and then returned to the table to have dinner with everyone.
Qi Shu excitedly shared stories about what had happened at the ranch while he was away.
For example, Rapidash delivered a package today and received a gift from Madame Dante.
Noivern stayed in the corner all day, observing secretly, but no one knew what it was up to.
Eevil Pom invited her to a tea party hosted by Pokemon today.
There was also a Trainer who came to challenge Fairy Eevee's Hero Trial.
Shizuru listened with great interest, occasionally teasing the Pokemon involved.
Just then, the Lottom Smartphone that Shizuru had put aside suddenly rang.
Shizuru took it out and saw it was Yaci.
He answered the call, and Yaci's face appeared on the screen.
"Shizuru, you did a great job today!" Yaci started with a compliment.
Shizuru was confused.
"You defeated that Trainer who came to challenge the Gym, proving the strength of our Paldea region's Gym Leaders. Well done!"
Upon hearing this, Shizuru immediately understood what had happened.
"So, he really came to challenge the Gym?"
Yaci nodded, "That Trainer comes from a noble family in the Unova region. I heard he's always so arrogant, looking down on everyone. This afternoon, he questioned your strength and got scolded by the online viewers."
"Maybe he's never experienced this before, so he came to challenge you, wanting to defeat you and prove his strength to those viewers."
Shizuru was at a loss for words.
Indeed, there were such arrogant nobles in the Pokemon world.
Even in the anime, there were many who, after hearing Satoshi's self-introduction, would say that Masara Town was a backwater place and that Satoshi was a country bumpkin.
"Thankfully, you defeated him," Yaci said with a smile, "I didn't misjudge you!"
