Chapter 657: Advancing to the Semi-Finals, Crimson's Discovery!
"Have I been seen through?"
"Even if we use Defog to clear the Grass Terrain now, with that Riding Goat's ability, it's likely to be restored immediately."
"It's fine. Even if Defog has no effect, as long as the Fire Dragon lands on the ground, it can still receive healing from the Grass Terrain," Duo thought.
With that, he would first stabilize the situation and then slowly look for a way to break through.
The second battle officially began. Duo chose a steady and aggressive approach, commanding the Fire Dragon to use Fire-type moves for long-range attacks.
The Riding Goat extended massive Vine Whips from both sides of its body, chasing after the Fire Dragon fiercely.
The Fire Dragon was forced to interrupt its Flame Jet and rapidly flapped its wings, circling above the Palace Gate Arena.
It chased, and it fled, creating an intense scene.
And just then, a sudden change occurred.
The Riding Goat quickly flew forward with one Vine Whip, forming a pincer attack with the other.
The Fire Dragon couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard, falling from mid-air in a disheveled state.
The Fire Dragon was hit! Seeing the Fire Dragon fall, Duo felt inexplicably relieved.
The Grass Terrain's ability not only enhanced the power of Grass-type Pokemon moves but also healed the HP of Pokemon on the ground.
With the Grass Terrain, as long as the Fire Dragon landed on the ground, its injuries would be healed.
Not only Duo but also the trainers watching the battle believed so.
However, the next second, they were shocked to discover that the Grass Terrain did not provide healing energy for the Fire Dragon!
"The Grass Terrain didn't heal the Fire Dragon?"
"What... what's going on here?"
The crowd frowned, their faces showing disbelief.
But there were still many powerful and talented trainers who speculated the reason.
From the moment the Riding Goat appeared and instantly activated the Grass Terrain, these Riding Goats had reached a state of Transcendental Evolution in their control over Grass-type energy! And because of this, they could precisely manipulate the Grass Terrain energy to heal themselves without healing their opponents...
"Someone has actually reached this level..." someone in the audience muttered.
Duo's eyes kept changing.
He frowned and suddenly remembered that his Brutal Carp seemed to not have recovered either. He had always thought it was because the Brutal Carp was floating and not touching the ground!
Now it seemed that wasn't the case at all!
"Riding Goat, finish it!" Shizuru's voice rang out from the other side.
Duo looked up sharply and then saw that the Riding Goat's body erupted with a terrifying power.
In an instant, the earth seemed to resonate, and green vines like pythons surged forth.
Then, they attacked the Fire Dragon.
"Fire Dragon, Flash Flame Charge!" Duo immediately reacted.
The Fire Dragon's body surged with scorching flames, and it flapped its wings, trying to break out of the giant Vine Whip's encirclement.
However, the Vine Whips seemed unafraid of the flames, and even when they were set on fire, they didn't stop at all.
In the blink of an eye, the Fire Dragon was engulfed by the massive Vine Whips.
A moment later, the Vine Whips dispersed.
What appeared before everyone was the Fire Dragon, which had clearly lost its ability to battle.
"The Fire Dragon has lost its ability to battle. The second battle is won by Shizuru!"
Duo's face was solemn as he looked at his Fire Dragon and then recalled it into its Poke Ball.
The plan had failed.
Since that was the case, he could only rely on that! In the final battle, Duo didn't hesitate to bring out his third Poke Ball.
Seeing this, Shizuru also chose to replace the Riding Goat that had just used Bulk Up five times.
The real world is different from the game. These enhanced status effects won't disappear immediately even if the Pokemon are switched out; they will only disappear automatically when the duration is over.
So, the current Riding Goat still has the buffs from five Bulk Ups.
Five Bulk Ups + Grass Hide + Grass Terrain, even a true Legendary Pokemon, the current Riding Goat also has the power to fight.
At least its power has far surpassed Suikun.
Duo had already sent out his third Pokemon.
And with a flash of white light, his strongest Rapid Dragon appeared!
The Gigantamax Wristband on Duo's wrist suddenly erupted with a purple, mighty energy.
He reached out his hand and recalled the Rapid Dragon into its Poke Ball, and then a magical scene unfolded.
The ordinary red and white ball in his hand suddenly emitted purple light and visibly grew in size.
Until it was so large that it required both hands to hold it to stop.
Duo glanced at the Riding Goat on the opposite side and then forcefully threw out the enormous Poke Ball.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the sound of a heavy object landing, a Swift Dragon, nearly forty meters tall, appeared on the battlefield.
Gigantamax Swift Dragon!
"Atsu has Gigantamaxed the Swift Dragon!" The commentator's voice was filled with awe.
Even after seeing many Pokemon in their Gigantamax forms, witnessing such a spectacular sight still couldn't help but leave one in awe.
When a Pokemon Gigantamaxes, its moves transform into Max Moves, and they unleash a terrifying amount of power.
"Is Atsu planning to unleash the Swift Dragon's most powerful attack to defeat Shizuru's Riding Goat?" The commentator spoke rapidly.
On the field, Duo had already begun giving commands.
"Swift Dragon, Gigavolt Thunder!"
The Gigantamax energy within the Swift Dragon merged with its Electric-type energy, creating a resonance of sorts.
In almost an instant, the Palace Gate Arena, as large as a football field, was enveloped by thick dark clouds.
Terrifying lightning brewed within, aiming at the Riding Goat below.
"Riding Goat, give it your all! Use that move!" Shizuru narrowed his eyes and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Maa!"
The Riding Goat sprang into action, sprinting at an incredible speed towards the Swift Dragon.
A dazzling green light gathered in its mouth, and to everyone's astonishment, it transformed into an enormous "Grass Holy Sword"!
"That move...!" The crowd exclaimed in shock.
The Riding Goat held the holy sword in its mouth, its gaze fixed on the Swift Dragon.
The next moment, a massive bolt of lightning struck, covering the entire arena in an instant.
The Riding Goat leaped high into the air amidst the lightning, and with a swift horizontal slash, it landed steadily on the ground.
Threads of electricity trailed from the Riding Goat's feet, spreading into the ground, helping it mitigate the damage from Gigavolt Thunder.
Shizuru knew that this wasn't Duo's true intention! If he wanted to defeat the Riding Goat in one blow, using Gigamax Ice Beam would have been more suitable.
His intention was to destroy the Grass Terrain beneath their feet!
The lingering yellow light from Gigavolt Thunder, that light, destroyed the original Grass Terrain, replacing it.
The Grass Terrain transformed into an Electric Terrain!
"Swift Dragon, now!" Duo shouted, "Gigamax Ice Beam!"
"Riding Goat, again!" Shizuru commanded simultaneously.
Even though the Swift Dragon had a four-times resistance to Grass-type moves, after being strengthened by the World Tree, the Riding Goat's Grass-type energy was now strong enough to ignore these resistances!
On the field, both Pokemon sprang into action.
A powerful Ice-type move erupted, and in an instant, countless massive ice blocks fell from the sky.
"Boom!"
The Riding Goat, still holding the holy sword in its mouth, swiftly weaved through the falling ice, its gaze fixed on the Swift Dragon.
Just before the last massive ice block crashed down, the Riding Goat leaped up.
The Grass Holy Sword slashed horizontally!
The next moment, the Gigantamax energy of the Swift Dragon went out of control.
An explosion sounded, and the Swift Dragon's face contorted in pain. Its enormous body began to shrink at a visible rate!
In the blink of an eye, it returned to its original form.
Duo furrowed his brows, was it still not enough?
"The Swift Dragon has fainted!" Deng Pei blew his whistle, "This battle is won by the Riding Goat!"
The entire arena fell silent, as if they were still in shock from the intense battle.
All spectators watched the Riding Goat, which, despite its wounds, landed steadily and gazed at its opponent with a dignified look.
The correct version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar, the first release of this novel.
That Riding Goat... It defeated the Gigantamaxed Swift Dragon with just two moves, and it was at a type disadvantage!
How did it accomplish this? And that never-before-seen move, could it truly be a move the Riding Goat could learn?
It's worth noting that the Riding Goat is just an ordinary Pokemon, and its ecology, distribution, characteristics, and moves have been thoroughly researched by Pokemon professors.
Yet, this Riding Goat displayed a move never seen before!
"The battle is over. Congratulations, Shizuru, on advancing to the semi-finals!" The commentator excitedly announced.
As his words fell, the audience gradually snapped back to reality.
Slowly, the arena erupted with enthusiastic cheers.
"Come back, Riding Goat!" Shizuru recalled the Riding Goat and said, "Well done."
Then he looked up at Duo.
Duo had calmed down by now, crossing his arms, feeling both admiration and frustration towards Shizuru.
"Ugh...! Although I'm reluctant, I admit you have a great skill in commanding Pokemon in battle. I lost fair and square."
"The man before them was no longer the trainer who would get upset over losing a match a few years ago.
Rather than feeling frustrated by defeat, he was happier to battle against skilled trainers.
'If you have the chance, you can come to my hometown and take a look. I also have many Dragon Pokemon, and perhaps we can have a Dragon Showdown at that time.' Zhi Shu said.
Duo was slightly startled, then thought of Zhi Shu's group of delivery Rapid Dragons. He smiled and nodded, 'Okay.'
The two of them gradually left the stage, and Dante smiled and gave Zhi Shu a thumbs up.
Kyorona and Dae slightly pondered. If they encountered Zhi Shu in the next match, how should they deal with that special Riding Goat?
After Duo and the others nodded, they left Kungmen Arena.
However, Zhi Shu was not in a hurry to leave.
Since the quarterfinals had already ended, the next step was the semi-final draw ceremony.
The group chose to stay backstage and watch.
This time, Chairman Rose did not come to draw, but instead became the referee Deng Pei.
It didn't take long for the results to come out.
The semi-final schedule is as follows:
October 10th, 9 am, Dante vs Kyorona
October 11th, 9 am, Zhi Shu vs Dae
Seeing this result, Dae immediately turned to look at Zhi Shu.
Zhi Shu smiled and said, 'At that time, I'll ask you to teach me a lot.'
Dae: '...'
Zhi Shu bid farewell to the three of them and then left Kungmen Arena, returning to the ranch.
However, after searching the ranch for half a day, he couldn't find Little Tree's figure.
Zhi Shu was puzzled and found his sister Ai Guansi to ask, 'Where's Little Tree?'
Where was his well-behaved daughter not coming out to greet him?
'Ai Yi!' Sister Ai Guansi pointed to the sky.
Zhi Shu immediately understood that the child had run up to the World Tree again!
Crimson's figure appeared in his mind, and Zhi Shu thought for a moment before deciding to go to the World Tree first.
World Tree, Pokemon Pub.
The live broadcast on Rotom Phone had already ended.
The Pokemon in the pub were cheering and celebrating Zhi Shu's victory.
Crimson and Pikachu stood outside, their minds replaying the recent battle, leaving them in deep thought.
Just then, a child's cheer was heard from outside.
Crimson was slightly startled, but saw that the Pokemon were very happy upon hearing the sound. They immediately ran out excitedly.
'Pika Pika?'
'...'
After a moment of silence, Crimson walked out with Pikachu to check the situation.
As soon as they stepped out and saw the scene outside, Crimson was stunned.
Not far away, the legendary Phoenix Guard, Flame King, Water King, and Thunder God had arrived, seemingly at some point.
And on the Flame King's body sat a little girl with her hair tied in a small bun!
Who was she?
The little girl seemed popular.
She fluttered her little legs, seemingly wanting to get down.
The Flame King sensed her intention and kindly lowered his body, allowing the little girl to slide off his body.
As soon as she landed, the girl hugged a fluffy Ninetales and happily played with them.
Crimson watched as the three legendary Pokemon noticed him.
They looked over at him, but after seeing that he posed no threat, they turned their attention back to the little girl.
Crimson was puzzled.
There were other people on this towering giant tree.
Who was she?
Could she be the child of that mysterious man named Zhi Shu?
Just as Crimson was pondering, the little girl noticed him.
They stopped playing and looked over curiously with a pair of round, wide eyes.
Crimson: '...'
It was at this moment that Zhi Shu arrived at the World Tree.
Seeing Little Tree, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhi Shu walked over and picked up his precious daughter, then looked towards Crimson and asked, 'How's your training going?'
Hearing this, Crimson's mind replayed his exploration of the giant tree over the past few days.
This tree was far bigger than he had imagined.
He rode the Fire Dragon to the outskirts and discovered that the tree was floating in the sky, and its interior housed countless Rapid Dragons.
Further down was a hot volcanic area where he saw Fire Birds and a massive Pokemon he had never seen before.
He hadn't had the chance to explore the lower levels yet.
But it was certain that the aura emanating from that Pokemon was undoubtedly the aura of a legendary Pokemon! Combined with the Phoenix on the upper level and that black legendary Pokemon, Crimson even suspected that each level of the tree housed one or two legendary Pokemon!
