Chapter 645: Frost Fairy's Pointer Spell! One-Hit KO, Shocking the Crowd!
Chapter 645: Frost Fairy's Pointer Spell! One-Hit KO, Shocking the Crowd!
The first match concluded, and Shizuru rode Gogoat back to the ranch.
He needed to take care of Xiaoshu, so he couldn't stay in Palace Gate City for long.
The Trainer app had already updated with his next match date, August 5th, giving him several days to prepare.
During this time, Shizuru stayed at the ranch to look after his Pokemon.
Meanwhile, a special post appeared on the World Championship's dedicated forum.
[Shocking! I just realized something. The Shizuru who competed yesterday afternoon seems to be a retired Champion-level Trainer I once visited.]
Due to the World Championship being broadcast worldwide, the number of viewers from various regions had already surpassed a million.
Among them were many who had visited the ranch and recognized Shizuru from the live broadcast.
At first, they thought it was just a coincidence of names, but when the camera zoomed in, revealing that familiar face, along with the two Pokemon that had been at the ranch, everyone confirmed his identity.
No doubt about it! This Shizuru was the farmer from the Paldea region!
The post continued:
[It's so surprising! At first, I just thought the name Shizuru sounded familiar, but when I saw his face, I realized he's the mysterious Trainer from the Paldea region?]
The post sparked curiosity among viewers from other regions, who began asking questions.
[Love from Misty's Sister: Please elaborate.]
[Kabigon Forever: I've never heard of this! What's going on? Who is he?]
Seeing the flood of questions, the original poster quickly replied:
[Of course! If you're not familiar with Shizuru, you must have heard of Tree's Home, right?]
[Love from Misty's Sister: Tree's Home? Isn't that the popular online shop that uses Pelipper for deliveries, and they specifically use Rapid Dragon for shipping?] I've ordered from them several times; it's so convenient!]
[Original Poster: Yes, that's the one! The owner's name is Shizuru! He's from Paldea and runs a farm in a place called Dewy Town.]
[Graceful Dance: What? A farmer is competing?]
[Original Poster: He's not an ordinary farmer! His skills are at least at the Champion level, and the Champion Pokemon in his ranch are countless! Even legendary Pokemon like Pikachu and Thunder God have been caught by him!
Moreover, many locals call him the 'Hidden Boss of Paldea,' and it's said that his true strength surpasses even Supreme Champion Yechi!
I never expected to see him at this World Championship; I really want to see who's stronger between him and the other Champions!]
These words immediately left many viewers from other regions in disbelief.
In this internet age, searching for information is incredibly simple and convenient.
They quickly searched online, and various discussion threads popped up on their screens.
There were threads about ranch trials, comparisons between Shizuru and the Supreme Champion's strengths, the Paldea farmer marrying the beautiful Kyoshu, and the mysterious man who used a Rapid Dragon army for deliveries.
They had no idea until they searched, and now they were shocked to learn about such a powerful Trainer in a remote part of the world.
Reading through the trial guides, they learned that only a handful of people had passed the trials so far, making them gasp in awe and exclaiming at the sheer terror.
At this moment, all viewers who saw this post began eagerly anticipating Shizuru's next match.
This World Championship was about to get exciting!
And in the blink of an eye, five days passed.
In an instant, it was the day of the match.
The Palace Gate Arena was bustling with spectators, a sea of people, including curious viewers who had bought tickets after reading the post, eager to witness the match in person.
In the backstage area, Shizuru looked at the Frost Fairy before him.
The Frost Fairy was excited, brimming with enthusiasm.
It looked up at Shizuru and called out, "Mama!" It was its turn to battle today!
"Alright, I'll leave today's battle to you," Shizuru said with a smile.
"Mama!" The Frost Fairy's small face was filled with determination. It would do its best to win this battle for everyone!
At that moment, the announcer's voice echoed through the arena, inviting both competitors to enter.
"Let's go!" Shizuru stood up.
He didn't recall the Frost Fairy into its Poke Ball but instead chose to have it stand on his shoulder.
The Trainer and his Pokemon walked through the entrance tunnel, and the scene before them instantly became clearer.
The spacious Palace Gate Arena was filled with spectators, all cheering in unison, supporting the two competitors in today's match.
Seeing Shizuru's entrance, the commentator raised the microphone and directed their attention elsewhere: "And now, let's welcome the Trainer from the Kalos region, Aikx!"
As the commentator finished speaking, a boy with short, neat hair and a robust physique emerged from the competitor's tunnel, brimming with fighting spirit.
The two walked to the center of the arena and shook hands at the referee's signal.
"I will not lose!" Aikx's eyes shone with determination.
No matter who his opponent was, he and his Pokemon would emerge victorious!
Shizuru raised an eyebrow, giving the boy in front of him a meaningful look without saying a word. He just smiled and said, "I hope luck will be on your side."
Aikx was taken aback by these words.
Luck? What luck? Pokemon battles aren't about luck.
However, the opponent didn't elaborate and turned back to his area after the handshake.
Seeing no result, Aikx also turned around and returned to his command post.
At this moment, the camera had already captured the two of them and broadcasted their images onto the large screen high above the arena.
This move not only allowed the audience to see the players' faces and expressions but also catered to those seated in the back rows who couldn't see the arena clearly.
Just then, a Rotom drone focused its camera on Shizuru, and his face appeared on the big screen.
In that instant, everyone saw the Frost Fairy perched on Shizuru's shoulder.
"What's going on? Is that Pokemon the one Shizuru is planning to use in this battle?"
"Broadwing Butterfly and Motolizard were doing well. Why did Shizuru suddenly decide to switch Pokemon?" A confused spectator couldn't help but ask.
However, some spectators were visibly excited.
Frost Fairy! It's the Frost Fairy that oversees the Pointer Spell trial in the ranch! They had seen related posts about it in the Paldea Academy trial strategy threads!
Frost Fairies are quite common Pokemon, cherished by some pastry chefs for their ability to produce delicious, creamy milk.
According to Professor Greedo's incomplete statistics from the Jade Rainbow University, 89% of Frost Fairies across various regions are used in pastry shops.
But here's the catch: Shizuru's Frost Fairy is special!
It possesses the "Heaven's Blessing" ability, which is possibly the only one of its kind in the world!
Heaven's Blessing: The Pokemon receives heavenly blessings, increasing its luck. When using moves, it has a higher chance of triggering additional effects.
Shizuru's Frost Fairy is indeed blessed by Heaven's Blessing!
Its luck is extraordinarily high, and every time it uses the Pointer Spell, it can summon various powerful moves!
At this moment, trainers who had challenged the Pointer Spell trial or heard about it, whether in the audience or watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion called "desire."
They wanted to know if the Frost Fairy would receive Heaven's Blessing today.
"The rules for this match are 1v1!" The referee blew his whistle, following the pre-match protocol for the two: "Each player can use only one Pokemon. The match will end when one player's Pokemon loses its ability to battle!"
As the words fell, the battle officially began.
The Frost Fairy, full of fighting spirit, jumped from Shizuru's shoulder onto the battlefield.
Aikx, on the other hand, took out a blue and white Super Ball.
"Go, Soundwaveon!"
Accompanied by a flash of white light, a large bat-like Pokemon with a pair of big ears, a white fluffy collar, and a pair of giant bat wings appeared on the battlefield.
"Soundwaveon..." Shizuru looked at the fierce-looking Soundwaveon with interest.
Soundwaveons are known for their aggressive and ruthless nature; even the Three-Headed Dragon fears them in the dark.
However, interestingly, if someone offers Soundwaveon its favorite ripe fruit, it completely changes its demeanor and becomes very friendly.
"Soundwaveon, Sonic Boom!" Aikx pointed forward, and the Soundwaveon in front of him immediately flapped its wings, emitting a strange buzzing sound from its throat. Two faintly visible sound waves were launched from its large, mosquito coil-patterned wings.
"Frost Fairy, let's go!" Almost simultaneously, Shizuru smiled and said.
"Mama!" The Frost Fairy responded and then lifted its head, gently swaying.
Seeing this, the commentator and the audience were immediately captivated.
"Oh, Soundwaveon used Sonic Boom, and Shizuru also gave a command... Wait! What move did the Frost Fairy use?" The Rotom drone's camera focused on the tiny Frost Fairy on the battlefield.
At this moment, all the viewers around the world watching this live broadcast witnessed the Frost Fairy raising her tiny finger and gently shaking it.
"That's..."
"Pointer Spell!"
"Oh my! How could someone use Pointer Spell in the World Championship?"
It was common knowledge that Pointer Spell was a highly unpredictable move. It could turn the tide of battle by allowing a Pokemon to unleash a powerful move and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, or it could lead to an instant loss by using a move that had no impact on the battle.
This move was only used by trainers in dire situations, as a last resort to test their Pokemon's luck.
Yet, here in the World Championship, a large-scale competition, someone had started the battle by commanding their Pokemon to use Pointer Spell.
Was this a joke?
Everyone, including the commentators, was stunned by the Frost Fairy's action, unable to react.
On the battlefield, the Frost Fairy's Pointer Spell had successfully activated.
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light erupted from its entire body.
A chill emanated from the Frost Fairy, and in the midst of everyone's shocked gazes, a large patch of blue "flames" suddenly erupted from its body.
No, those weren't flames!
It was an intense display of Ice-type energy, resembling flames in appearance. And in the next moment, those "flames" swept towards the Soundwaveon.
Instinctively sensing danger, the Soundwaveon tried to dodge, but the speed of the blue flames was too fast, leaving it with no escape.
It could only watch helplessly as the blue flames engulfed its body.
However, the expected pain didn't come, and when the Soundwaveon tried to examine its body, it was shocked to find that it had frozen, losing control entirely! The Soundwaveon was terrified, its face filled with horror.
But in the next moment, it felt its entire body burning up!
The extreme cold and intense heat intertwined, causing immense agony for the Soundwaveon. In an instant, its face contorted into an expression of pain beyond its control.
"Soundwaveon!" Aikx exclaimed in disbelief.
Hearing its trainer's voice, the Soundwaveon tried to endure, but it couldn't resist the draining of its energy. After a struggle, it fell to the ground with a thud and fainted.
The entire Palace Gate Arena fell silent.
It seemed like everyone was still in shock, not just the spectators in the arena, but also those watching the live broadcast on television.
At this moment, a thought of disbelief emerged in everyone's minds.
What move was that?
The Frost Fairy, with just one use of Pointer Spell, had defeated the powerful Soundwaveon in a single move. What was going on? Was it a coincidence?
"Is Pointer Spell really that powerful?" someone muttered, unable to contain their surprise.
The battle ended in the blink of an eye.
The referee finally reacted, hurriedly checking on the Soundwaveon's condition before blowing the whistle and announcing:
"Soundwaveon has lost its ability to battle! The match is won by Mr. Shizuki!"
With this victory, Shizuki's ranking soared from 96th to 90th.
A jump of six places meant he would soon break into the top 50.
"Mama!"
The excited Frost Fairy rushed over to claim credit, pleased with its performance. Shizuki smiled and nodded, "Well done!"
He hadn't expected the Frost Fairy to directly cast that move.
While others might not recognize the move, Shizuki was well aware of it.
It was Flame White Chief Lem's signature move, Extreme Frost Flame, a super move with a game power of 140.
For the Soundwaveon, weak to Ice-type moves, this single move could have easily taken several health bars from the Frost Fairy.
The match concluded, and Shizuki, with the Frost Fairy, left the arena.
The spectators in the arena were still in awe, struggling to process what had just happened.
That Frost Fairy had defeated the Soundwaveon in a single move!
"Mr. Shizuki truly lives up to his reputation!" exclaimed a trainer who had previously been tormented by Pointer Spell. Now, it wasn't just the trainers from the Paldea Region who had suffered.
"The hidden boss of the Paldea Region?" someone recalled the post they had seen a few days ago.
If they had been skeptical then, now they could only say, "Indeed, a hidden boss!"
To have trained a Pokemon like the Frost Fairy to such a level, they couldn't even begin to imagine how powerful Shizuki truly was.
