Chapter 585: The Championship Match!
Chapter 585: The Championship Match!
The light of Mega Evolution faded, revealing a more fierce and intimidating Mega Braviary!
Its crimson scythe and jet-like head were adorned with sharp fangs, and wisps of white vapor escaped from between its teeth.
"Screeeech!!!"
The majestic roar shook the air, stirring up clouds of dust and a dazzling aura.
The burning and toxic traces on its body had vanished, leaving Jinghe in awe.
"Cheating!" he muttered under his breath.
This was unfair. With the removal of all negative status effects, the battle seemed all but won. But the unexpected happened.
Jinghe took a deep breath as the menacing aura of the Super Braviary enveloped him.
Seeing this, Jinghe glanced at Gengar.
"Hngga!! (▼▼;)"
Gengar curled its tongue, spitting out a pair of sunglasses.
Bring it on!
Jinghe smiled slightly, loosening the buttons at his collar.
Let's do this!
Rattle!
He tossed his black suit and top hat behind him, rolling up his sleeves. He grabbed the single-lens glasses with a dangling chain, while Gengar's tongue revealed a Super Evolution Stone, emitting a vibrant rainbow glow.
"Gengar!"
"Hngga! (▼▼)V" Gengar gave a thumbs-up gesture.
Jinghe's smile widened.
Buzz!
The Key Stone in his hand burst into a rainbow-hued red light, resonating with the Super Evolution Stone on Gengar's tongue, which also shone brilliantly.
The two beams of light intertwined like currents, connecting swiftly and precisely.
"Mega Evolution!"
"Hngga!!"
In an instant, Gengar was enveloped in a dazzling light, and its form began to transform.
"Here it comes! Jinghe's Super Gengar!"
"Is this the final showdown?!"
"Go, Gengar! Finish it!"
Mega Braviary vs. Mega Gengar!
Is this the ultimate showdown?
"Hngga—!!"
The Super Evolution energy dissipated as Gengar retracted its tongue, and the Mega Evolution mark flashed before it.
"Screeeech—"
Mega Braviary grinned.
You're here at last!
"Gengar, once more! Trait Swap!" Jinghe took the initiative.
After Mega Evolution, Mega Braviary's original trait, replaced by Gengar's, became its new trait—Sand Force!
[Sand Force: In a sandstorm, Pokemon with this trait are unaffected and gain a power boost for Rock, Ground, and Steel-type moves!]
Without the "Levitate" trait, Gengar became weak to Ground-type moves. Mega Braviary's Ground-type moves, combined with Sand Force, had a significant impact on Gengar!
"Hngga!"
Super Gengar's golden eye between its eyebrows shot out an eerie red light, accompanied by its mischievous smile, swiftly firing at Super Braviary.
"Screeeech!!"
Super Braviary flapped its wings vigorously, soaring into the sky.
Trying to repeat that trick?
In mid-air, a sandstorm raged, and rocks gathered wherever it passed, forming a protective barrier.
But Gengar wasn't going to let Braviary escape so easily. The Trait Swap beam miraculously curved in mid-air, bypassing the rock barrier summoned by Super Braviary!
"Braviary!" Xihuona's eyes narrowed, and she formed a claw with her hand. "Dragon Claw!"
"Screeeech!!"
Super Braviary halted its evasive maneuvers, and a dense emerald energy burst from its crimson scythe, transforming into claws that slashed at the incoming Trait Swap beam.
Boom!!!
The eerie beam shattered into stardust, scattering downward.
"Ohhhh!!!" The announcer shouted, "Super Braviary's Dragon Claw tore through the Trait Swap beam! What an astonishing display!"
Spectators in the audience expressed their amazement.
"That was Dragon Claw, right?"
"How can Dragon Claw break through Trait Swap? What kind of move is this?"
"No, it can break through that too?"
"It's begun. This is how our Xihuona's Braviary battles."
Amidst the excitement, Wu Song, adjusting his glasses, felt he had the most authority to speak.
His bronze bell's trick space was often mercilessly split open by the big sister's Braviary, just like what had just happened.
To be honest, in Wu Song's eyes, Jinghe's Gengar meeting the big sister's Braviary was like facing a formidable opponent.
It wasn't just about type advantages; the big sister's Braviary was notorious for its relentless and unreasonable approach.
When you engage in tactics and strategies, it could dismantle your entire plan.
Then, it would force you into a direct confrontation, relying on its rich experience to overpower you.
On the field:
"Braviary, Earthquake!" Xihuona commanded.
"Screeeech!!"
Super Braviary smirked at Super Gengar, stabilizing its stance while its tail slammed into the ground.
Instantly, a terrifying earthquake rumbled, centered on Super Braviary, spreading outward.
"Hngga!"
Super Gengar stomped its feet and swiftly soared into the sky like a swimmer.
Even without Levitate, flying was still a breeze.
Xihuona's lips curled slightly, and Super Braviary's gaze followed Super Gengar into the sky.
The next moment:
"Dragon Dive!"
"Screeeech!!"
A terrifying and fierce indigo dragon cloak instantly enveloped Super Braviary. Despite the "Dive," Super Braviary soared skyward, charging upwards.
Previously, Giant Forger dared to use its bounce to dodge Braviary's earthquake, unafraid of Dragon Dive. But Super Gengar...
Jinghe remained calm, waving his hand gently.
"Phantom Strike!"
Super Gengar, hovering in mid-air, cackled at the approaching Super Braviary, swiping its hand through the air, and vanished from its sight.
Xihuona seemed to have anticipated this, and without hesitation, she commanded, "Dive down!"
"Sika!"
The Super Braviary, still enveloped in Dragon energy, intensified its aura and plummeted towards the center of the arena.
"Gengui isn't there!"
"What's it doing?"
The spectators were baffled by Xihuona and Super Braviary's actions.
But soon, they understood.
Boom!!!
As Super Braviary slammed into the ground, the entire arena shook violently once more.
"Earthquake!"
The rumbling grew louder and more terrifying, engulfing the entire arena in an instant.
"It's not just the arena barrier that's in danger; even the spectators in the stands feel like the whole place might collapse!" the host exclaimed.
Just then, Super Gengar emerged from the dimensional space at the perfect moment.
"Hengga?"
Feeling the massive tremor, even Gengar was startled.
"Is this an earthquake?"
Yuki, by Jinghe's side, stared intently, his little head seemingly still, but his mind was racing.
"Yoji!"
So this is how you enhance an earthquake... Wu Song understood.
"Gengar!" Jinghe's smile faded, and with a slight frown, he called out.
"Hengga!"
A black mist, like a flowing stream or the scent of agarwood, emanated from Super Gengar's body in continuous waves, covering the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the black mist emanating from Super Gengar enveloped the entire arena.
The intense earthquake triggered by Super Braviary suddenly quieted down under the shroud of the black mist.
"Sika?"
Super Braviary was slightly startled and instinctively flapped its wings, soaring into the sky.
It looked at the shadow-covered arena with uncertainty.
Why can't I feel the ground anymore?
In the control room, the staff responsible for the arena's integrity and barrier maintenance stared blankly at the instruments, which indicated:
Arena Damage: Arena Disappeared.
Disappeared? What the...?
Even at 100% damage, the arena shouldn't vanish entirely; there should be some debris left!
At the same time, in the shattered world, Giratina, who was intently watching the match on a palm-sized screen, sensed something and turned its head towards a specific direction.
A nearly shattered arena fragment fell from the sky.
Giratina tilted its head, scratched its forehead with its claw, and then propped up its chin.
Is this place turning into a junkyard?
Back at the arena, Super Braviary, Xihuona, and the spectators were still trying to make sense of the situation when the earthquake abruptly ceased.
However, both Super Braviary and Xihuona instinctively sensed danger from the black mist-covered area centered around Super Gengar.
And it wasn't a small threat!
Super Braviary had a bold speculation: without its 'Levitate' ability and fearing Ground-type moves, it had sent the entire ground into the dimensional space.
As this thought crossed its mind, Super Braviary quickly suppressed it.
But the more it tried to suppress the idea, the more convinced it became of its accuracy.
This is crazy! Solve problems by creating more problems? Gengar thought, we're in the same boat.
"Braviary!" Xihuona pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on Jinghe across the arena, her expression both stern and earnest.
Regardless of the situation, there was only one path forward.
"Dragon Dive!"
Influenced by Xihuona, Super Braviary's heart calmed, and with a firm nod, its battle spirit soared, surpassing its previous fervor!
Victory or defeat?
It didn't matter! What mattered was that it was facing Super Gengar at its peak!
The Shadow Ball collided with its target.
Two forces clashed—
Boom!!!
The world fell silent, leaving only a dazzling white and an endless black, tugging at each other in the center of the arena.
The spectators finally understood the nature of this battle.
It was a battle that defied logic and the basic laws of the Pokemon world.
It was a battle to determine who could be more unreasonable, and the winner would prevail!
One thing was certain—
The value and caliber of this Young Master World Championship were unprecedented, with the highest level of competition and the most valuable championship since the tournament's inception.
Perhaps, the top eight contestants in this championship had a higher chance of becoming champions in previous years.
What did this represent?
This Young Master World Championship could even be called the "Battle of the Young Eight Masters"!
Undoubtedly, the winner of this championship would become the "Young Master Supreme"!
The true leader of the younger generation in the Pokemon world!
Such a person would be decided right here, within minutes or even seconds.
All spectators, eagerly awaiting the outcome, held their breath in anticipation.
"Who won? Will there be a winner?"
"So, in the end, all battles lead to... waves?"
"I can't see clearly, it's too blurry."
Before the spectators could learn the result, a loud crash reverberated—
Clang!!!
The arena's barrier, barely holding on, finally shattered, and a terrifying force swept toward the audience.
Fortunately, the organizers had anticipated the outcome during the previous battles and quickly deployed backup barriers, protecting the spectators.
"The enhanced arena barrier broke?"
"Even with the backup barrier, it couldn't withstand much, right? Gulp—"
"Terrifying, those two..."
Finally, the light and darkness in the arena dissipated, revealing the silhouettes of two Pokemon.
Hanging in mid-air, its chest heaving, the Mega Braviary gasped for breath.
The white light on its body faded away, and with the release of Mega Evolution, it appeared even more exhausted.
Across from it, in the black mist, the Mega Gengar stuck out its tongue, its face pale, looking like it had almost fainted.
The energy of Mega Evolution dissipated, and it returned to its original form.
At the same time, the black mist that had enveloped the entire arena gradually retracted into Gengar's body, slightly easing its condition.
The number of times [Fusion] was used was still too few, and it wasn't skilled enough. The consumption was too great.
Moreover, Braviary's Dragon Dive was like cheating.
However, as the mist cleared, the sight of the arena made every spectator gasp in shock.
The arena had vanished!
Only the metal framework remained!
No wonder Braviary didn't land or use Ground-type moves; the arena had disappeared!
Did Gengar dissolve the entire arena?
"Hng!" Gengar raised its head, looking up at Braviary in the air.
Braviary, not to be outdone, bared its teeth at Gengar.
"Roar, roar!"
The next second, Braviary was struck by a critical hit and fell uncontrollably toward the ground.
"Gengar!" Jing He shouted.
Gengar immediately floated toward Braviary.
"We..."
Buzz—
A red light shot out, and the falling Braviary was instantly recalled into its Poke Ball.
Gengar, exhausted after just a few moves, stuck out its tongue and hung limply in mid-air, looking like it was about to faint.
Jing He turned to face Xihuona.
He noticed Xihuona gently lifting her hair, revealing a slightly flushed face, perhaps due to excitement or the effects of Mega Evolution.
"We lost," Xihuona said softly.
Indeed, Braviary's condition was worse than Gengar's, and although Gengar's moves were not as skilled, Braviary and Xihuona failed to seize the opportunity.
Moreover, even if Braviary had managed to trade blows with Gengar, Jing He still had Ice Nine-Tails in good condition.
In truth, Gengar's abilities, Shadow Step, and Destiny Bond were of no use.
Jing He was fighting in a way that neither he nor Gengar was good at.
So, losing was losing, and the graceful Xihuona always accepted defeat with composure.
We lost?
As Xihuona's words echoed, the entire arena fell into an eerie silence once more.
"Did I hear that right? Did Miss Xihuona admit defeat?"
"Does that mean..."
"Teacher Jing He, you won?!"
"We... are the champions!!!"
Boom!!!
In an instant, the entire arena erupted in thunderous cheers.
Supporters and non-supporters of Jing He alike celebrated with applause.
Regardless of anything else, this final battle was truly spectacular!
Both trainers showcased their tactics and unreasonable moves, culminating in an all-out, no-holds-barred clash.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sky above the arena filled with fireworks, and countless camera flashes illuminated the hall.
This battle was destined to be recorded in the annals of history.
Jing He and Xihuona approached the relatively intact edge of the arena.
They looked at each other.
They extended their hands.
"Congratulations," Xihuona said softly.
"Thank you," Jing He said, feeling the softness in his palm, and asked, "So, what was the secret you mentioned before the battle?"
Before their battle, Xihuona had promised to reveal a secret to him if she won.
Now that the battle was over and Jing He had emerged victorious, what could this secret be?
Jing He's curiosity grew.
As Xihuona tilted her head, a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"You guess?"
Jing He: "..."
