Chapter 661: Finals, vs Dante, The Ultimate Battle! (The Last Battle)
With a single move, a Bidoof defeated a Champion-level Pokemon...
Even Dae hadn't expected such an outcome.
"What's the deal with that Pupitar?"
"Although Fighting-type moves are super effective against Steel- and Rock-type Bidoof, Bidoof is armored and has incredibly high defense!"
"But now, that Pokemon's close-range combat not only broke through Bidoof's defense but also defeated it in one move..."
Countless spectators were left stunned.
Deng Pei, however, quickly regained his composure.
"Bidoof is unable to battle! The match is won by Shizhu!"
"Let's congratulate Shizhu on advancing to the finals!"
A round of applause finally erupted from the audience.
The match concluded, and after bidding farewell to Dae, Shizhu turned to leave the Palace Gate Arena.
Today was October 11th, and the finals would be held three days later on the 14th, but the venue had been temporarily changed.
As Shizhu prepared to head home, he received a notification from the tournament organizers.
The finals would now take place at the Kenkan City Arena in Kenkan City.
"Kenkan City?"
Shizhu was a little surprised.
Although it had once been the center of the Galer Region, the Galer Region's center had shifted from Kenkan City to Palace Gate City after the latter's establishment.
However, the Galer League might be considering using this opportunity to boost Kenkan City's economy with the current popularity and traffic.
Shizhu didn't mind, and after leaving the Palace Gate Arena, he prepared to summon Rayquaza to enter the Reverse World in a secluded area. Suddenly, he noticed Dante standing on the street with a slight frown.
Shizhu was a bit surprised and approached him, "Dante?"
Hearing his voice, Dante turned around and smiled, "Congratulations, Shizhu. I've made extensive preparations for your Pokemon, so don't underestimate me when we meet in the finals!"
"Of course," Shizhu replied.
Dante's consecutive championship titles weren't due to luck but his inherent formidable strength.
"Why were you looking so worried just now?" Shizhu asked.
At this point, Dante couldn't help but glance at his Lotad Phone. Sonia hadn't contacted him in a long time, and when he inquired with Doctor Mulan, she also had no news of her.
Dante had a bad feeling in his heart.
Had something happened to Sonia?
Shizhu was slightly startled. As far as he knew, Dante and Sonia had been secretly investigating Omegaton, Chairman Loze, and the Maloco Group for the past two years.
Could it be...
"Maybe Sonia forgot the time while investigating in the wild!" Dante reassured himself.
Sonia had previously spent a long time in the wild investigating Max Raid and ancient legends without contacting him.
"Alright, Shizhu, you should head home. The tournament committee just contacted me. See you on the battlefield in three days!" Dante added, turning around.
Shizhu remembered this and nodded.
The two bid farewell, and Dante went to the Galer League headquarters to discuss matters with the tournament committee.
Meanwhile, Shizhu rode his Gogoat back to the ranch.
"Everyone, come out!" Shizhu released the Pokemon from their Poke Balls.
As he watched the Pokemon play in the ranch, Shizhu took out his Arceus Phone to check on Crim's situation on the World Tree.
[October 11th: Crim challenged Zekrom for the first time. Zekrom accepted his ideology and decided to battle him, but Crim was defeated.]
[Crim challenged again but was defeated.]
[Crim's third challenge ended in defeat.]
[Crim's fourth challenge also ended in defeat.]
[Crim's fifth challenge resulted in a narrow victory.]
"Huh?" Shizhu was surprised. "Has Crim passed Zekrom's trial?"
A narrow victory likely referred to the six-on-one format. Even so, it still demonstrated Crim's incredible strength.
No wonder he's the legendary strongest! Shizhu was impressed and continued to check the records on his Lotad Phone.
After that, Crim seemed to have rested for a day.
And now, Shizhu saw on his Arceus Phone that Crim had challenged Groudon but was unsuccessful.
The current Groudon was no ordinary Pokemon.
It had absorbed a vast amount of natural energy, regaining its Primal Reversion form, and even further evolved beyond that. Even Crim would find it challenging to defeat it.
But after all, Crim was a legendary figure, and no one could be sure he would keep losing until the results were out.
Time had already reached late autumn, and the temperature in the Paldea Region gradually cooled down. It wouldn't be long before snow started falling.
Every morning, the ground is covered in a layer of frost.
The flowers in the garden wither one by one, and the Combee have stopped collecting fresh nectar.
However, the ranch is now also abundant in nectar, so early in the year, Shizuru transfers the Combee and Butterfree into a glass greenhouse with a spring-like warmth.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's October 14, 204, in the League calendar.
Kenkan City, with its medieval castle-like architecture and ancient walls, exudes a strong historical atmosphere.
The massive Kenkan Arena, resembling a castle, stands at the city's center.
At 8 a.m., even before the competition begins, the arena is already packed with spectators.
Countless tourists from other regions flock to witness the ultimate battle between the absolute champion Dante and the masked trainer Shizuru.
The "Ultimate Battle" has been trending on the internet for three consecutive days, with its heat and discussion breaking the 100 million mark.
Even on some illegal websites, betting has emerged.
In the front row of the audience seats in the Kenkan Arena, journalists and famous streamers from around the world are gathered. This final battle will be broadcast live worldwide! From Kanto to Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galer, and Paldea regions...
From elderly folks in their 70s with graying hair and glasses to toddlers just learning to walk and talk, and even many Pokemon, everyone is gathered around the TV, watching this battle of the century with their families and friends.
New Town, Professor Oak's Laboratory.
Professor Oak watches the content on the screen with great interest and asks, "Shu, who do you think will win this match?"
Shu doesn't respond, as he, too, is unsure of the answer in his heart.
He once met Mr. Shizuru, whose strength was unparalleled, far surpassing any trainer he had ever encountered.
But the other person is the renowned champion, having consecutively held the Champion title for several terms.
Which of these two will ultimately emerge victorious?
Unova Region, Pokemon League.
Today, Adeku sets aside all official duties and dedicates a whole morning to watching his friend Shizuru's match.
In his eyes, regardless of the opponent, Shizuru will emerge victorious from this battle, for he has personally witnessed the strength of the Pokemon Shizuru has raised!
Paldea Region.
He Ci and Xin Li also put aside their work and watch the match live in the League's office.
"If Shizuru wins this battle, our Paldea Region will become famous!"
Then, everyone will know that their Paldea Region has produced the strongest trainer.
Shizuru's fans and trainers seeking greater strength might even come to Paldea for training.
They are all shining talents!
Shizuru is indeed Paldea's greatest treasure.
Just thinking about it makes He Ci laugh out loud.
"Oh haha!"
Xin Li: ""
Read the original in 9@Book/Bar!
The Chief is at it again.
Galer Region, Underground of Kenkan Arena, Energy Storage of the Warehouse.
Chairman Loze stands there, looking up at the figure in the warehouse that holds the key to the future of the Galer Region.
At this very moment, an endless stream of Galer particles is being injected into Omegaton's body.
Soon, it will awaken from its slumber! They have been planning for this day.
They can use the battle above to conceal the dissipation of energy, and by the time the battle ends, Omegaton will awaken.
Then, they can use Dante and the trainer named Shizuru to capture the awakened Omegaton.
This way, the Galer Region won't have to worry about an energy crisis in the future.
9 a.m., Kenkan Arena.
The highly anticipated "Ultimate Battle" officially begins.
In the audience, Ki Shu sits with his son, Little Shu, his sister Ai Guansi, Shuang Nai Xian, and other Pokemon on a row of seats.
Ki Shu raises Little Shu's hand, "Little Shu, cheer for Dad!"
Little Shu sees her father below and shouts obediently, "Go, Dad!"
On the battlefield, Shizuru and Dante have entered.
"It's finally here," Dante says, his eyes shining with excitement as he looks at Shizuru across from him.
Shizuru nods slightly, for he, too, has been anticipating this day for a long time.
Their eyes meet, and without a word, everything will be expressed in the battle!
Seeing that they are ready, Deng Pei steps forward and reads out the rules of the match.
"The rules for this battle are simple: a free-for-all match with no restrictions! Each trainer can use up to six Pokemon in the battle, and the match only ends when all six Pokemon on one side are incapacitated!"
A no-holds-barred free battle, slightly different from the usual tournament rules.
In this format, trainers can recall their Pokemon using Poke Balls and send out new ones, testing their speed and accuracy.
This rule set truly challenges trainers' understanding of Pokemon synergy and defense, making for an exciting spectacle.
Shizuru had only witnessed this rule set in the anime, where Satoshi even used Pokemon recalls to dodge opponents' moves.
In this world, Shizuru hasn't participated in many of these matches, but besides being a rancher, he's also a teacher.
While at Blueberry Academy, he specifically studied this aspect and shared his knowledge with his students.
"Hoot!" Deng Pei blew his whistle and announced, "The match begins!"
Almost simultaneously, both trainers threw their Poke Balls.
Two white lights flashed, and Shizuru sent out Pupitar to test the waters, while Dante sent out a rabbit-like Pokemon resembling a soccer player.
It was none other than Scorbunny, the Fire-type starter from the Galer Region! The battle commenced.
"Pupitar, Thunder Shock!"
Pupitar was enveloped in a yellow electric current that quickly covered its entire body, and then, with the current, it charged towards Scorbunny.
Dante smirked and calmly commanded, "Scorching Sand."
The next second, Scorbunny moved, swiftly running on the field, and a sandy sphere formed beneath its feet.
Seeing the right distance, Scorbunny drew back and shot the sphere at Pupitar.
Although it missed, Dante had achieved his goal!
Pupitar, covered in Thunder Shock, charged at Scorbunny, and neither of them budged.
A thin stream of electricity sparked between them, but surprisingly, this move didn't affect Scorbunny.
"Pupitar, Dante's Scorbunny's ability is Libero!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly, "Due to Scorching Sand, Scorbunny's type changed to Ground, rendering Thunder Shock ineffective!"
Witnessing this, Pupitar was also taken aback.
"Pupitar?"
"It's our turn." Dante declared, "Headbutt!"
Scorbunny, still locked in a stalemate with Pupitar, suddenly had a white light appear on its head, and then it charged at Pupitar's head.
Pupitar was momentarily stunned, reeling backward from the impact.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, too quickly for Shizuru or Pupitar to react.
"He must have thoroughly prepared for my Pokemon," Shizuru thought as he recalled Pupitar without hesitation and sent out Swift Dragon.
Seeing this, Dante also recalled Scorbunny and sent out another Pokemon.
As expected, Swift Dragon immediately activated Rain Dance upon entering the field, and a torrential downpour suddenly drenched the entire battlefield.
A white light flashed, and the Pokemon Dante sent out was revealed to be Thousand-Face Evaser!
"Dante read Swift Dragon's Rain Dance and sent out Thousand-Face Evaser!" the commentator exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
It's worth noting that Water-type Thousand-Face Evaser has a significant advantage in the rain!
But with every advantage comes a disadvantage, and Shizuru's Swift Dragon was skilled in Electric-type moves, naturally countering the Water-type Thousand-Face Evaser.
"Swift Dragon, Thunder Strike!" Shizuru commanded without hesitation.
A massive thundercloud swiftly gathered.
Thousand-Face Evaser, in the pouring rain, nonchalantly looked up, and the next moment, its body began to fade at a visible rate, until it completely disappeared into the rainstorm!
The thunder strike landed, but without a target, it hit nothing but air!
"Thousand-Face Evaser, Sniper!" Dante smiled and gave his command.
In the rain, a transparent figure silently emerged behind Swift Dragon.
It was like a graceful sniper, extending its finger as if it were a sniper rifle, and its fingertip rippled with raging water, using its finger as a sniper rifle and the water as bullets.
With a whoosh, the water, compressed to the extreme by Thousand-Face Evaser, shot from its fingertip, hitting Swift Dragon in mid-air.
