Chapter 652: The Strongest, the Almighty Leocrown!
Chapter 652: The Strongest, the Almighty Leocrown!
As Dakudo listened to the excited cheers from the surrounding audience, he closed his eyes, a wry smile forming on his lips.
Perhaps when he had used Darkrai to crush those Trainers, they had felt the same way?
That sense of helplessness... Even though he had become the Champion and had come this far, he still had no solution to counter it?
Dakudo took a deep breath.
Fortunately, he still had one more Pokemon left.
This was also the strongest Pokemon by his side.
Many years ago, while traveling, he had stumbled upon a fiery meteor falling from the sky. As he watched, a wounded Pokemon emerged from the meteor.
He had approached and provided treatment, and since then, that Pokemon had always followed him.
Its strength was immense, and its psychic powers were incredibly powerful.
In all his years, Dakudo had never seen a Pokemon like this.
At this thought, Dakudo turned to Shizuru.
He had made up his mind; he would use this Pokemon, and no matter what, he would defeat one of Shizuru's Pokemon.
"It seems you, the Legendary Pokemon Trainer, are indeed stronger," Dakudo said, "Now, I have one last Pokemon left, and it is the strongest by my side. Shizuru, please give me your best!"
The strongest?
Shizuru's spirit soared, "Perfect, I also have only one Pokemon left, and it is the strongest by my side as well."
"Wow!" The commentator, having heard their conversation, shouted excitedly, "Both players are sending out their strongest Pokemon! The ultimate battle is about to unfold! Which Pokemon will Shizuru choose?"
"Will it be the Land and Sea Gods who nearly destroyed the Sinnoh Region, the Hoenn Region's Faith Pokemon Regice, or... will Arceus himself make an appearance?"
Upon hearing this, the audience in the stands tensed up.
Could it be that Shizuru had even captured Arceus?
After all, Shizuru was the man who had defeated Arceus!
It wasn't impossible for Arceus to acknowledge him after being conquered.
Shizuru: "..."
He couldn't help but smirk at the commentator's words.
These people... since their last encounter, he hadn't seen Arceus again.
Even with the Arceus Phone, he couldn't contact Arceus.
It was as if Arceus's attention had completely shifted away from this world, focusing on other worlds.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Referee Deng Pei had already walked between the two battlefields and blew his whistle forcefully.
"Please send out your Pokemon, players. The sixth battle officially begins!"
Shizuru took out Leocrown's Poke Ball.
Dakudo also retrieved his last Poke Ball from his pocket.
Almost simultaneously, they threw their Poke Balls, leaving a trail in the air before automatically popping open.
With two crisp 'clicks', two beams of light shot out, landing on the battlefields on either side under the watchful eyes of the audience.
On the right side, a two-legged Pokemon resembling an alien emerged. It had an orange-red body, a blue-green face, crystal-like tubes for its chest, and four arms spiraling around each other like white pipes. Its pale eyes stared at its opponent with indifference, as if calculating something.
It was Deoxys!
The Legendary Pokemon from space!
Dakudo had even captured a Pokemon like this?
Then, what about Shizuru's Pokemon? The audience wondered.
On the battlefield, a Pokemon stood atop a black horse, wearing a massive dark green crown-like headdress, and a dark green pearl-shaped necklace around its neck. Compared to the horse beneath it, its body was petite and slender, but its pure blue eyes exuded an aura of authority. Below its eyes were small blue nose and mouth.
It was...
At that moment, countless Galar Region spectators widened their eyes in disbelief.
Leocrown! The former ruler of the Galar Region, the Almighty Leocrown!
"Arceus! It's Leocrown! Shizuru has sent out Leocrown!" The commentator was also incredibly excited. Was this the Almighty? He looked so majestic and graceful...
"I believe some of the audience may not be familiar with Leocrown, so today, I'll give a proper introduction to this Pokemon!"
"Leocrown, the Almighty, the former ruler of our Galar Region! It is said that Leocrown can bring abundance to those who worship it, ensuring bountiful harvests and blooming flowers!"
At this very moment, the Kanto Region, Johto Region, Hoenn Region, Sinnoh Region, Unova Region, Kalos Region, Alola Region... and some other regions.
Nearly every viewer in front of the television screen turned their attention to the majestic Pokemon riding a black horse.
In the Palace Gate Arena, Leocrown suddenly felt an immense power surging into his body, causing his strength to multiply exponentially.
One didn't need to fully believe in Leocrown; simply knowing of its existence was enough to generate faith power for it.
And once people started believing, they would provide Leocrown with even more faith power.
At this very moment, the faith power of millions of viewers was pouring into Leocrown's body without end.
Such immense energy caused even Leocrown to reveal a hint of surprise on his face.
At that moment, Shizuru's voice came from behind.
"Leocrown, I'm counting on you!"
After a brief moment of daze, Leocrown snapped back to reality and turned to face Deoxys, his tone filled with authority.
"Now, let's show them the power of a farmer!"
The sixth and most intense battle began—the clash between the million-faith Leocrown and the cosmic virus Deoxys!
"Deoxys, use Psycho Boost!" Dakudo once again chose to strike first.
With the command given, the Deoxys on the field instantly sprang into action.
It waved its arms, summoning a massive energy ball in front of it, which it launched towards Leocrown.
Leocrown retaliated with a Shadow Ball.
The two distinct energies collided in mid-air, and Deoxys's energy ball was instantly crushed. The Shadow Ball, with incredible speed, shot towards Deoxys!
"Danger!" Dakudo shouted.
Deoxys reacted swiftly, immediately using Teleport, disappearing from its original position and reappearing at the other end.
"Lock-On, followed by Meteor Mash!" Shizuru's eyes flickered, and the next move would deepen the world's faith in Leocrown! According to his observations, the stronger the impression Leocrown left on people, the more faith power it would receive.
And now, with countless viewers watching this live broadcast, the faith power Leocrown gained was beyond his imagination!
Leocrown nodded slightly, his gaze filled with authority as he directed it towards Deoxys, and a wave of energy flew towards the Pokemon.
The next second, the vast arena dimmed suddenly.
The darkness was so intense that even the lights couldn't penetrate it!
"What's happening? Why did it suddenly get so dark? What is that?" This scene caught the attention of everyone in the audience.
However, just then, the darkness flickered, and a star-like light shone.
One, two, three...
Within a few breaths, countless starlight bodies appeared around Leocrown!
Dakudo sensed an unprecedented crisis and immediately ordered, "Danger! Deoxys, Teleport!"
Deoxys attempted to use Teleport but failed.
Teleport was unusable! No, it couldn't even move! When Deoxys realized this, a drop of cold sweat formed on its forehead.
But just then, a dazzling light shone before its eyes.
Deoxys subconsciously looked up.
Countless "stars" filled the sky, and before it knew it, they were right in front of its eyes.
The next second, the starry sky shattered, and countless purple stars rushed towards it, engulfing Deoxys in their glow almost instantly.
The darkness around Leocrown gradually dissipated.
"We lost, and I'm very grateful. You've made me realize that there's always someone better out there. Starting today, I and Darkrai will withdraw from the tournament. It's been a pleasure to meet you this year."
Mr. Shizuki raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"
"We're going to continue our training," Dakudo said firmly.
He wasn't one to talk much, and as the loser, after a brief farewell, he quietly turned and left the Palace Gate Arena, heading to an unknown destination.
Meanwhile, a large group of reporters rushed in, and even the Palace Gate Arena staff and Machamp couldn't stop them.
Soon, Mr. Shizuki and Leocrown were surrounded by a swarm of reporters.
"Wow! It's really Leocrown! So awesome!"
"Let me go first!"
"I was here first!"
Mr. Shizuki scanned the crowd and noticed that the reporters weren't from the same TV station; they came from different regions and networks.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out in front of him, Mr. Shizuki quickly spoke up, "Please don't fight over me. I'm not going anywhere. I can answer one question from each of you."
Hearing this, the reporters gradually calmed down.
A younger female reporter excitedly asked, "Mr. Shizuki, are you really the Motor Mask?"
Mr. Shizuki smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm just a ranch owner."
The female reporter was slightly taken aback, but before she could process her question, another reporter stepped forward.
"Mr. Shizuki, why did you choose to reveal your identity here?"
Mr. Shizuki paused briefly before cautiously replying, "I didn't want to reveal myself, but Rayquaza really wanted to participate. So, I decided to let every Pokemon in the ranch experience the feeling of battling. For them, it's like a change of life!"
The reporter hesitated slightly, thinking to herself, So this is why you let those productive Pokemon come to battle?
A third reporter pushed forward, "How did Mr. Shizuki manage to catch so many Legendary Pokemon?"
"They acknowledged me," Mr. Shizuki said with a slight smile, though many Legendary Pokemon had come to him on their own.
He originally had only Leocrown, Gogoat, Eguipo, and Fighting Bear. Latios, Mewtwo, Regirock, Groudon, and Regice had all come to him.
After answering a series of mundane questions, a reporter finally asked about the match.
A bespectacled reporter inquired, "Mr. Shizuki, what would you like to say to Mr. Da Ye before your next match?"
Mr. Shizuki's face broke into a smile. "Mr. Da Ye, I look forward to learning from you."
Mr. Da Ye, who was watching the live stream: "..."
After winning the match, Mr. Shizuki felt refreshed. He took his wife and daughter for a tour around Palace Gate City before returning to the ranch.
After sending Rayquaza and Kyurem back to the World Tree and the Reverse World, Mr. Shizuki began searching for information about the Eight Greats.
At the same time, in the Reverse World, Rayquaza was enjoying the comments from viewers praising its performance, read aloud by Rotom Phone.
However, Rayquaza soon discovered that the comment section had few humans praising it and was instead filled with people singing the praises of Leocrown, astonished by its incredible strength! Rotom Phone trembled, "A commenter named 'Leocrown Believer' wrote: Leocrown is so cool! Its move is so powerful! When it's used, even the space seems to darken, and it defeated Deoxys Rotom with just one move!"
"A commenter named 'Love Leocrown' said: Leocrown is strong and charming, and it brings abundance to those who believe in it! I'll always be its fan, Rotom!"
"A..."
"Enough!" Rayquaza felt like it was about to lose its mind.
Every time, Leocrown had more fans and was more powerful than it.
While Rayquaza acknowledged Leocrown's strength, it couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Rayquaza was so angry it felt like it was going to explode! After much thought, Rayquaza concluded the reason.
Ultimately, it was because Rayquaza and Leocrown had appeared in the same match.
It was all Mr. Shizuki's fault for letting them appear together, and now Leocrown had taken away its fans! So, Rayquaza immediately found Mr. Shizuki and expressed its desire to battle alone in the next match, confident that it could defeat everyone!
Mr. Shizuki was initially puzzled but quickly understood the reason after seeing the difference in fan support between Rayquaza and Leocrown.
To calm Rayquaza's emotions, he agreed, thinking it wouldn't matter for this match. In the next Eight Greats rotation battle, he would let Rayquaza showcase its abilities alone.
