Chapter 584: Plastic "Sisterly" Bond
Chapter 584: Plastic "Sisterly" Bond
Braviary had challenged.
It waved its hand towards Jinghe's side.
"Yo! Yo!"
Gengue hadn't reacted yet, but Yuki, by Jinghe's side, couldn't contain its excitement, thinking Braviary was challenging it. It hopped twice, eager to rush into the arena.
Fortunately, Jinghe noticed the mistake and grabbed Yuki's horn, preventing it from entering the field.
"Phew," Jinghe sighed in relief.
It was indeed a close call.
Gengue hadn't even made its debut, and if Yuki had charged into the arena...
His sixth Pokemon would have been identified as Yuki, putting Ice Nine-Tails under immense pressure.
"Little guy, wait until you grow a bit more," Jinghe said, returning the small Pokemon to his side.
"Yo!" Yuki exclaimed.
It puffed its cheeks and crossed its arms.
How annoying!
After this match, it would definitely eat, train, and grow stronger!
It couldn't wait to evolve and shock everyone!
The little one fantasized about its future evolution, forgetting that it still wore the "Everstone."
"Hmm?"
Gengue licked its lips, eyeing Braviary in the arena with excitement.
To be honest, as the tournament neared its end, Gengue's most anticipated opponent was none other than Shirona's Braviary!
This guy had snatched its phone control a few days ago, preventing it from watching its favorite TV shows!
It had been itching for a fight!
This was what they called a plastic "sisterly" bond.
In contrast to the mutual respect between Ice Nine-Tails and Frost Ibu, where Ice Nine-Tails tenderly licked Frost Ibu after defeating it, this was a stark difference.
"Hmm!"
Gengue rubbed its fists, shook its head, and then...
Pitifully, it tugged at Jinghe's clothes.
"Hmm."
It put on a pitiful expression.
Jinghe couldn't help but find it amusing.
You little purple-skinned chubby, can't you see that it's letting you go on purpose? But...
Jinghe glanced at Ice Nine-Tails, who was catching its breath in the arena.
It would be good to give Nine-Tails a breather, even though it wouldn't restore its stamina. After 'Icy World,' it could still catch its breath, and it would be a powerful move against Braviary.
Additionally, Ice Nine-Tails could serve as a weather controller; as long as it was present, the snowy weather would continue.
"Go ahead."
After a moment's hesitation, Jinghe recalled Ice Nine-Tails with its Poke Ball.
Ice Nine-Tails heaved a slight sigh of relief.
Facing Braviary was indeed a significant pressure, and what if it couldn't take it down in one hit?
"Hmm!"
With Jinghe's permission, Gengue put on its signature sunglasses and hopped into the arena.
"Jinghe's final Pokemon is—Gengue!!!"
The host announced Gengue's entrance.
"Gengue!!!"
"Geng!"
"Purple-skinned Chubby!"
The audience erupted in cheers as the long-awaited adorable Gengue finally appeared, rivaling the excitement of Braviary's entrance.
Unbeknownst to them, Gengue had become one of Jinghe's most iconic and representative Pokemon.
Just like Shirona's Braviary, Dagu's Shining Gigalith, and Dante's Charizard...
Who wouldn't love a chubby, mischievous, purple-skinned cutie?
"Hmm~"
Gengue bared its teeth, raising its eyebrows at Braviary, causing its sunglasses to wobble up and down.
"Roar!"
Braviary, upon seeing Gengue, opened its mouth, revealing a fierce smile. It rubbed its scythe, creating an ear-piercing, teeth-grinding sound and scattering sparks.
It was glad Gengue had arrived!
Braviary held no grudges.
Gengue had sent Shirona nineteen different animations of Pokemon using Dragon Dance, but it hadn't remembered any of them!
Hey!
The battle continued!
As Jinghe switched Pokemon, Shirona effortlessly seized the initiative.
Initially, Jinghe had planned to have Ice Nine-Tails create a Mist Field before Gengue took its place.
The Mist Field would halve Braviary's Dragon-type moves and, combined with the snowy weather, create a double suppression effect.
However, this would limit Gengue's ability to use its negative status-inducing moves, which was also a form of suppression for it.
After careful consideration, Jinghe decided not to have Ice Nine-Tails create the Mist Field for now.
"Braviary, Scale Shot!"
"Roar!"
Braviary vigorously waved its scythe, shooting out dense, tough scales resembling metal. These scales flew towards Gengue from various directions.
[Scale Shot: Continuously fires 2-5 scales, increasing the user's speed but lowering its defense!]
Whether facing Gengue or Ice Nine-Tails, Physical Defense didn't seem as crucial, but Speed was always useful, no matter the opponent.
Moreover, this was an offensive move with beneficial effects.
Facing the onslaught of scales, Gengue curled its tongue and retracted its sunglasses.
A thought flashed through its mind. With so many scales being fired, it was a waste, and Braviary's scales should be worth a lot, right?
"Gengue!" Jing He shouted, only to hear Xihuona's voice from across the arena.
"Gengue, Shadow Ball!"
Jing He: "???"
Spectators: "???"
Live Stream Chat: "???"
Question marks filled the chat, and the spectators' minds, as if they had all become Slowpoke.
"Hengga!"
Hearing Xihuona's command, Gengue instinctively rubbed its hands together, and dark Ghost-type energy began to swirl around it.
"Hengga?"
But Gengue quickly realized something was amiss.
This didn't seem like Jing He's command.
Oh no!
Gengue shuddered, glancing back at Jing He, seeing his initial bewilderment turn into a cold smile.
Oh no, oh no!
Gengue had been so used to serving its 'Sugar Daddy,' Xihuona, with massages and refreshments that it almost made a mistake.
Fortunately, it reacted just in time.
Jing He, listen to me, I have an explanation!
"Block it first!" Jing He's voice echoed.
"Hengga!"
The Ghost-type energy around Gengue intensified, and with Jing He's permission, it quickly formed a sizable Shadow Ball, hurling it towards the incoming scales.
Boom!!
The Shadow Ball exploded, creating a blast that deflected the scales but failed to hit Gengue.
The commotion from the collision snapped the audience out of their initial surprise.
The entire arena erupted in laughter.
"Hahaha! They're a perfect match, so funny!"
"Pffft—Miss Xihuona is even commanding Gengue now."
"The best part is, it actually worked, almost like when Jing He commanded Braviary!"
"I say, let's have Jing He command Braviary and Miss Xihuona command Gengue, and then let them battle it out!"
". . ."
It was so effective! This battle was highly entertaining.
The spectators strongly believed that if these two retired from training and started streaming, they'd attract a massive fan base.
Of course.
There were also die-hard fans of Xihuona, self-proclaimed 'Cabbage Fans,' who felt deeply concerned.
No matter how you look at it, there's something fishy about Jing He and Miss Xihuona! How can normal people easily command their opponent's Pokemon?
Something's not right!
In the arena, Jing He sighed, feeling helpless as the 'Boomerang' hit him.
He opened his mouth, "It's true..."
For a moment, he was at a loss for words.
This must have been how Xihuona felt earlier.
Across the arena, Xihuona stood with her hand on her hip, raising a finger with a light laugh, "This is just the beginning; there's more to come~"
Jing He: ". . ."
There's more?
Regardless, this battle couldn't continue.
"Hengga! Hengga!" Gengue patted its chubby cheeks, reminding itself to stay focused and not make another mistake.
Another mistake, and it might have to share a room with Braviary tonight.
The snow and ice from before dissipated, leaving the battlefield clear.
Grains of sand struck Braviary, but instead of causing pain, they made its form flicker and blur amidst the sandstorm.
Just then, a sinister laugh echoed behind Braviary.
"Hengga?"
Gengue's voice startled Braviary, causing it to quickly turn around. A ball of ghostly blue flame smashed into its face.
Bang!!
The Ghost Fire exploded in all directions!
Crimson Blade Phantom was no match for Gengue in using Ghost Fire; the latter had mastered the technique, and it was unlikely for Braviary to disperse it so easily.
Sizzle—
Braviary's face turned a deep crimson.
"Braviary is now in Burn Status! This is a huge disadvantage for it!" the commentator exclaimed.
As a Physical Attack-type Pokemon, the Burn status effect was a significant hindrance.
But that wasn't all.
"Gengue, Trait Swap!"
Buzz—
In an instant, the traits of Gengue and Braviary swapped, facilitated by their proximity.
Gengue gained Braviary's Sand Veil trait, and the swirling sandstorm seemed to favor it. Gengue's already elusive form became even more unpredictable with the Sand Veil trait and the sandstorm.
"Here it comes, another of Teacher Jinghe's 'Your Weather is So Useful' moves!"
"I had forgotten Gengue had this trick up its sleeve. Poor Braviary."
"I have a bad feeling about this. I'm worried for Miss Xihuona."
". . ."
"Braviary, Earth Power!" Xihuona commanded sternly.
Braviary was primarily a Physical Attack-type Pokemon, but Xihuona's Braviary also possessed formidable Special Attack power.
"Roar!!"
With a low roar, stones infused with thick, earthy yellow energy rose from beneath Braviary's feet and hurtled towards the nearby Gengue.
"Poison!"
Bang!!
Braviary's Earth Power smashed through "Gengue," shattering it completely.
Substitute!
At such close range, Gengue's shadow couldn't deceive Braviary, but its Substitute could.
Immediately, a mouthful of poison spewed from the real Gengue, and upon contact with Braviary's scales, it quickly penetrated its body! A purple aura enveloped Braviary.
It was poisoned!
"That's dirty, Teacher Jinghe!"
"Eh? This is how we 'Heart People' do things~~"
"Is it going to be Confuse Ray next? Or Hypnosis? Or Paralysis?"
"Please, Teacher Jinghe, have some decency!"
Xihuona's fans voiced their protests.
"As expected! In the finals, facing Big Sis's Braviary, Teacher Jinghe is using his signature tactic." Da Ye grimaced.
To be honest,
The most dreaded aspect of battling Teacher Jinghe was his Gengue, especially when it fought without restraint. It was truly formidable. Wu Song wiped his forehead.
"But..." Wu Song added, ". . . it's not just Teacher Jinghe and his Gengue who are unreasonable."
His gaze settled on Xihuona, who remained composed.
It seemed like Big Sis was about to unleash her full power.
As this thought crossed his mind, Xihuona's lips curled upwards, forming a confident and beautiful arc.
Boom!!
A powerful gust of wind erupted from Braviary, its aura intensifying.
Behind it, the golden-haired beauty's black windbreaker fluttered, and the elegant black velvet at her collar danced in the strong wind.
Buzz—
Xihuona casually swept her hair aside, revealing her determined gaze.
"Braviary!"
"Roar—!!!"
Braviary roared, understanding its task.
Brilliant rainbow light burst from Xihuona's Key Stone, resonating with the Mega Stone on Braviary.
"Mega Evolution!"
A dazzling evolution light enveloped Braviary, and Xihuona's golden hair danced as her thoughts instantly connected with Braviary.
"Show your true strength, Braviary!"
Hiss!!!
The audience erupted in surprise.
"Miss Xihuona's Braviary has Mega Evolved!!"
"Hengga~~"
Gengue retracted its neck and quickly retreated a distance.
Damn, this feisty dragoness is really losing it. Jinghe adjusted his glasses and muttered, "So, the biggest hater of White Cabbage is herself!"
