Chapter 647: The Champion and the Champion
Chapter 647: The Champion and the Champion
On the morning of August 7, 204, Shizuru's third World Championship battle officially began in the Palace Gate Arena.
The arena was bustling with people, and dazzling lights shone from above, illuminating the entire battlefield.
As the commentator introduced the two players of the day, the audience suddenly began to cheer Shizuru's name in unison.
"Shizuru!"
"Shizuru! Shizuru! Shizuru!"
"Is that Shizuru? So exciting! I wonder what amazing battle he'll bring us today!"
"Go, Mr. Shizuru!" The cheers from one section of the audience far exceeded the others.
The commentator turned to look and saw a group of young people in Paldea Academy uniforms, holding banners and cheering excitedly.
"Wow! These spectators must be die-hard fans of Shizuru!" the commentator exclaimed into the microphone.
The Rotom Drone's camera automatically focused on that direction, and instantly, the faces of the young students appeared on the screen.
Seeing themselves on the screen, the students became even more excited, waving their banners and nameplates with enthusiasm.
They had come all the way from Paldea Academy to cheer for Mr. Shizuru! They wore their school uniforms so that Shizuru could see them!
Shizuru noticed them too, and among them, he recognized many familiar faces—the children who had once challenged his trials at the ranch.
After a moment of surprise, Shizuru broke into a smile.
Although he wasn't a professional Pokemon Trainer, at this moment, in this atmosphere and environment, he understood why Champions like Dante, Ai, and Kyorona, as well as every Trainer in this world, loved Pokemon battles so much.
So, Pokemon battles could be so exhilarating! After countless hardships with their Pokemon partners, they stood on the grand stage under the gaze of millions, reaching the pinnacle of the world.
Since it was like this...
"Go, Stunfisk!" Shizuru forcefully threw the Poke Ball in his hand.
A white light flashed, and a sturdy Stunfisk with bright eyes appeared on the battlefield.
The battle officially began!
Stunfisk vs. Gyarados!
Shizuru started with Super Spin, and in an instant, Stunfisk's robust body transformed into a small spinning top, rapidly spinning on the battlefield.
The opposing Gyarados tried to counter with Water Gun, but it had no effect on the spinning Gyarados.
The powerful stream of water was deflected by the rapidly spinning Stunfisk!
Gyarados was startled and had no time to dodge, getting knocked back.
"Gyarados's Water Gun was deflected by Stunfisk!" the commentator shouted.
But the next second, a shocking scene unfolded.
After knocking Gyarados away, Stunfisk didn't stop; instead, it made a bizarre turn at a strange angle, spinning 180 degrees in place to realign with Gyarados!
The audience gasped in unison.
"It's here! Shizuru's Stunfisk's Super Spin!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.
As a qualified commentator, after hearing the rumors about Shizuru, he immediately researched this mysterious player from Paldea online.
A few years ago, there had been rumors circulating online about Stunfisk and Super Spin! Super Spin was a secret technique that Shizuru had taught Stunfisk through special training, and so far, it was the only known case. Stunfisk using this move could perform 360-degree directional attacks without dead angles, after-effects, or pauses, making it both offensive and defensive.
It was said that countless Trainers had challenged the ranch and returned empty-handed.
Meanwhile, the Pokemon battle in the arena was reaching its climax.
The Gyarados couldn't break through Stunfisk's Super Spin, and as Stunfisk spun, its potential energy increased, eventually slamming Gyarados away with tremendous force.
Gyarados tumbled helplessly onto the Energy Shield surrounding the arena and slowly slid down.
The referee quickly checked Gyarados's injuries and then blew the whistle:
"Gyarados has lost its ability to battle! Shizuru wins this match!"
"Incredible!" The commentator was amazed. "As far as I know, neither Stunfisk nor Broadwing Butterfly, which appeared earlier, are Shizuru's main Pokemon!"
"And this Stunfisk is a dairy-producing Pokemon from the ranch! It's unbelievable; Shizuru has trained even a dairy Pokemon to this level. I can't wait to see how his main Pokemon will perform. This is truly exciting!"
"Well done, Stunfisk. Now, take a good rest."
After the battle, Shizuru recalled Stunfisk into its Poke Ball, glanced at the audience, and then chose to leave the arena.
Today, Shizuru had two matches, one in the morning and another in the afternoon.
The afternoon match was at 3 pm, and Shizuru didn't linger in Palace Gate City, heading straight back to the ranch.
At 3 pm, in the Palace Gate Arena, Shizuru's fourth match officially began.
This time, Shizuru sent out the Fairy Eevee that had just returned from the Mystery Dungeon.
The World Championship had been a hot topic among the Pokemon at the ranch recently, and as soon as Fairy Eevee returned, it heard about this.
So it immediately found Shizuru and volunteered to join the competition.
Shizuru readily agreed.
Their opponent was a majestic Gorebyss.
Fairy Eevee vs. Gorebyss.
At the start of the battle, Fairy Eevee immediately unleashed a powerful move, and its might was so great that it instantly defeated the Gorebyss that had just taken off.
Seeing the massive Gorebyss crashing to the ground, belly up, Fairy Eevee was stunned, still not fully comprehending the situation.
"Bu-ee?"
Not only Fairy Eevee, but even the spectators in the audience and the commentators in the booth were left dumbfounded.
After a long while, someone opened their eyes wide in disbelief and muttered, "What...what just happened?"
Was the battle over already? They had been expecting an exciting match, but it ended before they could even get settled in.
The referee promptly checked on the Gorebyss and found it had fainted.
The strength of that Fairy Eevee was truly terrifying. The referee's forehead beaded with cold sweat, and he blew his whistle, announcing, "Gorebyss has lost its ability to battle. Shizuru wins this match!"
"Bu-ee...?" Fairy Eevee couldn't believe it.
Was it over already? It hadn't even finished warming up! Shizuru: "..."
"Ahem, come back, Fairy Eevee," Shizuru called out.
There wasn't much to say about this battle; it was a straightforward case of level and stat dominance. Additionally, the Fairy-type moves of Fairy Eevee were super effective against the Dragon-type Pokemon, so even if the Gorebyss hadn't been defeated instantly, it wouldn't have been able to withstand Fairy Eevee's second move.
Fairy Eevee wanted to continue fighting, but the battle was already over, so it had no choice but to turn around and run back to Shizuru's side.
Amid the stunned gazes of the spectators, Shizuru turned and left the Palace Gate Arena.
Before leaving, he glanced up at the ranking promotion display above.
The morning's match had moved him up from 90th to 86th, and this win propelled him directly to 79th.
In the Player's Room, several Advanced Level competitors watched the screen, and a drop of cold sweat formed on their foreheads.
That Fairy Eevee had defeated the powerful Gorebyss with just one move...
Despite the type advantage, at this stage, trainers should have methods to counter type disadvantages, right? But the reality was happening right in front of them.
They couldn't believe it, but they had to accept it.
Where did this trainer named Shizuru come from? He was dominating the Advanced Level matches.
How were they supposed to deal with this?
What's more terrifying is that after so many matches, Shizuru had never sent out the same Pokemon to battle.
This time it was Fairy Eevee, but who knows which Pokemon he'll use next? If we use the example of the Stunfisk from the morning match...
Even if they could counter Stunfisk's Super Spin, who can guarantee Shizuru won't use it again in the next match?
There's no way to prepare in advance!
In the corner, a man with grayish-blue hair and a red shawl hugged his arms, leaning against the wall. He looked up at the live broadcast.
His expression wasn't one of shock or despair but rather one of surprise.
Is that man Shizuru? Dakudo's gaze shifted to the ranking promotion display.
The opponent is already at 79th, and he has climbed to 68th. If this continues, with the World Championship's matching mechanism, the more consecutive wins a competitor has, the more likely they are to meet in the subsequent matches.
This means they have a high probability of encountering each other in the upcoming matches.
However, they will not lose, no matter what.
"Darkrai," Dakudo whispered.
A black shadow suddenly appeared on the wall beside him.
The shadow slowly emerged from the wall, gradually taking the form of a black Pokemon like a shadow.
It had a head of white hair that resembled ethereal mist, covering most of its face, with only a pair of bright blue eyes exposed.
Around its neck was a red, jagged object, resembling a scarf. On each shoulder hung a long, black tattered cloth. Its claws were pitch black, floating eerily beside Dakudo as they both looked up at the figure on the screen.
At that moment, a voice came from the side.
"Wow! It's the Champion!"
Dakudo turned his head and saw a young girl, her face full of excitement, looking at him.
"Mr. Dakudo, it's so great to see you here! Could you please give me an autograph?" the girl said excitedly.
Long ago, she had gone to the Bellflower Conference with her parents and watched the matches.
In that tournament, Dakudo, using a Legendary Pokemon, Darkrai, swept through all the opponents. In the finals, he fought one against six and defeated all of his opponent's Pokemon, showcasing his incredible strength to become the champion of that conference.
To this day, the girl still remembered the scene, and Dakudo's achievements with his Pokemon have been a constant source of inspiration for her to keep pushing forward.
She never imagined that she would encounter Dakudo at this year's World Championship!
Dakudo was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his usually cold face. He took the pen and Poke Ball that the girl handed him and signed his name on it.
Then, he turned around and left with Darkrai.
Meanwhile, a popular post suddenly appeared online.
The title of the post was:
[Discussion: Which of This Year's Advanced Level Trainers Have the Greatest Chance of Securing a Spot Among the Eight Greats and Advancing to the Master Tournament with Dante and Others.]
[The World Championship has been going on for almost half a month, and almost all Advanced Level trainers have completed one to two rounds of Pokemon battles. After watching all the matches, I want to analyze who has the greatest potential to advance to the Master Tournament.]
[The first trainer is the currently popular Mr. Shizuru. Before this year's World Championship, I didn't know much about him, but I did some research after hearing about him. If the rumors about him are true, then Mr. Shizuru is undoubtedly a powerful and mysterious Pokemon Trainer with a high chance of advancing to the Master Tournament and becoming one of the Eight Greats. I've already analyzed more about him in my previous posts, so I won't go into detail here.]
[The second trainer is the former champion of the Bellflower Conference in the Sinnoh region, Mr. Dakudo. Without a doubt, he also has the potential to advance to the Master level. From my observations, he has several Legendary Pokemon, including the Nightmare God Darkrai and the Infinite Pokemon, Latios. Just like in the Bellflower Conference, Dakudo has so far used only Darkrai to defeat all the Super Level trainers and some of the Advanced Level trainers, advancing to the 68th position in the Advanced Level with overwhelming strength.
Ah, as a side note, it is said that Mr. Shizuru also has Legendary Pokemon, such as the Three Holy Beasts, Raikou, and the Thunder God, Pikachu. I wonder if these two will meet in the future. I would really like to see a battle between Legendary Pokemon!]
[Well, there are other trainers, but compared to these two, the others are slightly less impressive. I need to go out and get my package, so I'll continue the analysis later.]
The post received thousands of comments within a short ten minutes.
[Eevee Lover: Wow! I wonder if Mr. Shizuru will send out a Legendary Pokemon next. I really want to see a battle between Legendary Pokemon!]
[Lover of Lickilicky: Ah, I'm so envious! Pikachu, Raikou, and Darkrai are all such rare Pokemon! When will I be able to catch a Legendary Pokemon?]
[Love in the Rain: +1, I agree with the OP. It would be great if these two meet next! I hope they draw a 6v6 full battle in the lottery, so we can enjoy the match to the fullest! 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 battles are just too short!]
[Snorlax Loves Wenyou Fruit: Strongly agree! Everyone should contact the tournament organizers together!]
At Shizuru's Ranch, Shizuru, who had returned to the ranch, quickly received the time for his next match.
August 10th, 10:00 AM.
Shizuru turned around and looked at the Pokemon running around the ranch. A question floated in his mind:
Frost Fairy, Stunfisk, Broadwing Butterfly, and Motolizard have all appeared in matches. So, which Pokemon should he send out next?
