Chapter 662: Fierce Battle!
Chapter 662: Fierce Battle!
"Use the Thousand-Face Evaser's invisibility and agility to maneuver?"
A countermeasure instantly flashed through Zhi Shu's mind.
"Swift Dragon, Gale!"
The Thousand-Face Evaser's sniping accuracy irritated the Swift Dragon, and upon hearing the command, it immediately flapped its wings, summoning an incredibly terrifying gale.
Sensing the danger, the Thousand-Face Evaser once again entered its invisible state to maneuver.
Dante observed the battlefield, searching for the right moment to strike.
The gale blew the rain, sweeping across the entire battlefield, and Zhi Shu, too, focused intently on the conditions of the arena.
Suddenly, he noticed a distinct difference in the wind direction and water flow in one area compared to the others.
I've found you!
"Swift Dragon, thunder strike to the left!" Zhi Shu shouted.
The Swift Dragon didn't hesitate and unleashed a thunder strike in that direction.
A massive thunderbolt slammed down, exploiting its type advantage to severely damage the Thousand-Face Evaser with a single hit!
"Wow! By blowing the rain with the gale, you used the airflow and water flow to pinpoint the Thousand-Face Evaser's position?" The commentator's eyes lit up: "Impressive!"
Seeing his tactic exposed, Dante didn't hesitate and reached for a Poke Ball, intending to recall the Thousand-Face Evaser.
"Don't give it that chance! Electric strike!" Zhi Shu quickly called out.
Already slightly annoyed, the Swift Dragon immediately exerted its full strength, maneuvering the airflow to reach the Thousand-Face Evaser in an instant.
A powerful electric punch was thrown with a blinding flash of lightning.
Just as the Poke Ball was about to recall the Thousand-Face Evaser, the attack sent it flying.
This assassin-like Pokemon had a fragile body, and with the type advantage, a single thunder strike and electric punch were enough to render it unable to battle.
"Impressive!" Dante wasn't disheartened by the Thousand-Face Evaser's defeat; instead, he looked at Zhi Shu with heightened fighting spirit. This was the opponent he had been waiting for!
As the third Pokemon appeared, Dante didn't hesitate and immediately ordered the Ice Puppet to attack.
"Ice Beam!"
A white beam of freezing cold energy shot out from the tip of the Ice Puppet's staff, and like a circus magician, the Ice Puppet tapped its staff, sending a beam toward the Swift Dragon in mid-air.
The extreme cold froze the rain in mid-air.
The Swift Dragon, with its four times weakness to ice, was close to defeat after taking that hit. Zhi Shu frowned and quickly shouted, "Use high-speed movement to dodge!"
The Swift Dragon immediately lightened its body, hovering in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the ice beam.
"Did it dodge? Then what about this?" Dante smiled slightly. "Ice Puppet, Blizzard!"
Zhi Shu countered as the Swift Dragon dodged: "Fire punch!"
On the battlefield, both Pokemon sprang into action.
The Ice Puppet waved its icy staff, and in an instant, a cold gust of wind mixed with a blizzard swept across the entire battlefield.
The Swift Dragon was battered by the relentless barrage of ice chunks and cold air, gritting its teeth in pain. It charged toward the Ice Puppet, opting for a trade of blows, and slammed its fiery fist into the Ice Puppet's face.
"It approached?" Dante seemed to have anticipated this: "Ice Puppet, Hypnosis!"
The Swift Dragon stared at the Ice Puppet, but the next moment, as their eyes met, a faint pink light appeared in the Ice Puppet's eyes.
The Swift Dragon's thoughts momentarily paused, and then a powerful wave of drowsiness washed over it.
Seeing this, Zhi Shu inwardly cursed and shouted, "Don't fall asleep!"
The Swift Dragon shook its head vigorously, and the cold rain falling on its body added a chill, dispelling some of its drowsiness.
It couldn't sleep; it mustn't sleep! The Swift Dragon clenched its teeth, even twisting its body to stay alert.
As a wave of pain hit, the Swift Dragon became more alert.
Zhi Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't afford to let the Swift Dragon get too close, so he quickly ordered it to hover in mid-air and attack from a distance.
"Thunder strike!"
A massive electric attack appeared once more.
Dante remained calm.
He had been waiting for this move!
"Ice Puppet, now!"
The thunderbolt descended, but suddenly, the Ice Puppet's body glowed with a dazzling white light, and within that light, a rainbow-like wilderness flickered, making its body appear as smooth as a mirror.
As the thunder strike landed, the expected scene didn't unfold.
The terrifying thunderbolt seemed to be blocked, and it all gathered on the Ice Puppet's body.
Then, it transformed into an even brighter beam, reflecting back toward the Swift Dragon in mid-air!
The Swift Dragon was instantly engulfed in white light, and after taking hits from the sniping, blizzard, and this final attack, it couldn't hold on any longer and fell from the sky.
Zhi Shu's heart sank. His hand, reaching for the Poke Ball, was ultimately too slow.
"Oh my! The Ice Puppet used Mirror Reflection to bounce back the thunder strike!" The commentator exclaimed: "The Swift Dragon is unable to battle!"
Mirror Reflection? Absorbing the opponent's move and returning it with twice the power.
From a certain perspective, this move is undoubtedly a divine technique.
In the anime, Team Rocket's Yanmega successfully used this move to reflect Rayquaza's attack, solidifying its legendary status.
Shizuru recalled Swift Dragon back into its Poke Ball, "You've done well, Swift Dragon. Now, take a well-deserved rest!"
Dante chose not to switch Pokemon, and after a moment's thought, Shizuru sent out Riding Goat.
In the third battle, Riding Goat faced Ice Puppet!
As soon as Riding Goat entered the battlefield, Grass Terrain spread across the entire arena.
Rain fell from the sky, and the Grass Terrain on the ground emitted a faint green glow, enveloping the arena in the dull atmosphere of a rainy grassland.
"Ice Puppet, Ear-Shattering Sound!"
"Riding Goat, Holy Sword!"
Both trainers issued commands simultaneously.
Ice Puppet emitted an intense, ear-splitting sound, indicating its preparation for the upcoming battle.
Despite being affected by the sound, Riding Goat didn't stop moving. Green light surged, and a giant Grass Holy Sword appeared in its mouth, slashing horizontally towards Ice Puppet.
This was not just a Grass Holy Sword but a combination of Swift Return and Grass Holy Sword!
Using the high mobility of Swift Return, it swiftly approached and attacked Ice Puppet.
With such speed, the attack was almost instantaneous, leaving Ice Puppet no time to react. Its body flew into the air and crashed heavily onto the ground.
Having already taken a Flame Punch, Ice Puppet couldn't withstand the attack, even with its high Special Defense. Its physical Defense was too weak.
Under the Grass Holy Sword's attack, it lost its ability to battle.
Dante recalled Ice Puppet.
At that moment, the heavy rain in the sky gradually stopped, and Dante sent out another Poke Ball.
A white light flashed, and Flame Ace appeared once more.
Shizuru didn't hold back and chose to attack with Grass Holy Sword again.
Riding Goat, with a leaf blade in its mouth, charged forward again.
Witnessing this, Dante didn't hesitate and commanded, "Guard!"
Flame Ace crossed its arms in front, and a white light membrane quietly appeared, blocking Riding Goat's path.
The massive leaf blade pressed against the light membrane, crushing it, and surprisingly, cracks began to appear on the previously unmoving light membrane!
The next second, the light membrane shattered, and the huge leaf blade sent Flame Ace flying.
The guard had failed! Shizuru immediately pursued with "Heavy Slam!"
Riding Goat's forelegs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, slamming heavily into the ground.
The next second, cracks appeared on the ground, rapidly spreading towards Flame Ace. Seeing this, Dante frowned and commanded, "Bounce!"
Flame Ace, gazing at the spreading cracks, leaped high into the air with a powerful leg thrust. While dodging Heavy Slam, it launched a flying kick towards Riding Goat.
This flying kick dealt considerable damage to Riding Goat, but under the influence of Grass Terrain, the injuries healed at a visible rate.
Dante didn't hesitate and commanded, "Sunny Day!"
Flame Ace swiftly retreated, and scorching heat surged from its body.
"Don't give it a chance! Do it again!" Shizuru exclaimed.
At the same time, Dante commanded, "Fire Pledge!"
Flame Ace summoned a pillar of fire and launched a surprise attack on Riding Goat.
However, it was simultaneously hit by the leaf blade, and the immense force directly rendered it unable to battle.
Witnessing this, Dante didn't hesitate to recall Flame Ace and replaced it with Groudon!
As soon as Groudon appeared, Dante quickly commanded, "Grass Pledge!"
A grass pillar shot out from the fire pillar's position, blending grass and fire to create an even larger fire.
In an instant, the entire Grass Terrain seemed to catch fire, transforming into a vast sea of flames!
The flames scorched Riding Goat and completely burned the Grass Energy on the ground!
The Grass Terrain was destroyed!
Shizuru instantly realized Dante's intention and quickly recalled Riding Goat, replacing it with Pupitar.
And as Shizuru had anticipated, Dante replaced Groudon with Charizard!
Seeing Shizuru's Pokemon change, Dante couldn't help but scratch his head, "Seems like you saw through my plan?"
"It seems you've prepared extensively for today's battle!" Shizuru said with a smile.
The two trainers exchanged a smile and simultaneously issued commands.
"Pupitar, Thunder Shock!"
"Charizard, Flame Jet!"
Pupitar was enveloped in a Thunder Shock, spinning and charging towards Charizard.
Charizard, on the other hand, breathed out intense flames.
"Looks like you're using Sunny Day to trigger the Solar Power ability?" Shizuru muttered.
As he pondered, Charizard's intense flames also enveloped Pupitar.
The sound of rustling filled the air as Babutobo's cloak fluttered, its hammer held horizontally across its body, blocking the flames while it pushed forward.
But the heat and energy of the flames were so scorching and terrifying.
Under the intense heat, the temperature of Babutobo's small hammer in its hand rose rapidly.
So hot!
Babutobo's hand, scorched by the heat, loosened its grip, and as the hammer fell to the ground, its body was also engulfed by the flames, dropping into the fiery sea below, formed by the fusion of Grass Pledge and Fire Pledge.
However, Babutobo reacted swiftly, quickly taking to the air again and summoning its hammer with Electric power, once more flying towards Charizard.
"Great Burst!" Dante continued to command.
"Watch out!"
Having witnessed the terrifying power of Charizard's flames, Shizuru naturally wouldn't let Babutobo keep charging recklessly.
Seeing the Great Burst flame flying towards it, Babutobo swiftly ascended, dodging it while throwing its small hammer at Charizard.
Seeing the distance close, Shizuru quickly commanded, "Thunder Shock!"
Babutobo's body transformed into a white light, rapidly colliding with Charizard.
Charizard's attention was still on the hammer, and for a moment, it ignored Babutobo, only to be directly hit by Thunder Shock!
Dante, sensing the danger, immediately took out a Poke Ball, aiming at Charizard.
In the next second, Shizuru's voice rang out, "Now, give it your all with Double Shock!"
Double Shock, Babutobo's most powerful move, with a power of 120, releases a terrifying electric current, dealing massive damage to the opponent.
After receiving this attack, Charizard, weakened by the previous Thunder Shock, would surely suffer a heavy blow.
But just as Babutobo's body erupted with intense electricity, a red light enveloped Charizard's body, returning it to its Poke Ball.
Double Shock missed, and Babutobo stumbled.
In the next second, Dante switched Charizard for Multi-Dragon Baltor.
Having unleashed all its electrical power, Babutobo's body seemed to lose its current.
Sensing something amiss, Shizuru quickly took out a Poke Ball, wanting to recall Babutobo.
But Multi-Dragon Baltor had already locked onto Babutobo.
"Dragon Arrow!"
With Dante's command, two smaller Multi-Dragon Mesia, like missiles, simultaneously launched from Multi-Dragon Baltor.
In almost an instant, they heavily collided with Babutobo, causing it to fall.
Shizuru's Poke Ball aimed at the air, and the recall failed!
Dante noticed Shizuru's intention and quickly commanded, "Don't give it a chance, use Dragon Dive!"
After all, with a Speed stat of 142, Multi-Dragon Baltor is an almost-legendary Pokemon with incredible speed!"
In the blink of an eye, it collided with Babutobo, who had just gotten up, like a missile.
Babutobo, having just unleashed all its electrical power, was already exhausted, and after receiving Multi-Dragon Baltor's Dragon Arrow and Dragon Dive combo, it lost its ability to battle.
"Babutobo is unable to battle!"
Seeing this, Shizuru silently lamented in his heart.
The match had reached a critical stage.
Currently, Shizuru had four Pokemon remaining: Gogoat, Riding Goat, Riding Goat, and Riding Goat.
Dante, on the other hand, had three left: Charizard, Multi-Dragon Baltor, and Thunderous Kongfu.
"As expected of the man I consider a worthy rival!" Dante's face revealed a smile as he looked at the still-blazing fire on the battlefield and said, "This is the surprise I've been preparing for you this whole time!"
Grass Pledge and Fire Pledge, when combined, intensified, even on a Grass Terrain, and the energy would all turn into fuel for this fiery sea, continuously scorching the Pokemon within.
At this moment, the Rapid Dragon that could use Rain Dance had already fainted, and Shizuru's side had no Pokemon left that could extinguish this fiery sea.
As long as he prevented the Riding Goats from recovering, he still had a chance to win!
Unless, of course, the remaining Pokemon on his side included Legendary Pokemon.
But based on Dante's understanding of Shizuru, aside from Gogoat, it was unlikely he would bring other Legendary Pokemon to this battle today.
With that, his chances of winning increased.
Moreover, he still had the Ultra Gigantamax ace up his sleeve.
Smiling, Shizuru said, "I didn't expect that I could actually break through Riding Goat's Grass Terrain in this way; this surprise indeed delights me."
"But... Riding Goat's terror isn't limited to Grass Terrain."
Grass Terrain is just a recovery method; the truly terrifying aspect of Riding Goat is the stat boosts it gains from World Tree Cuisine.
If any Pokemon by Shizuru's side could be considered a stat beast, it would be Riding Goat.
"Come, let me see the surprise you and Charizard have prepared for us!"
As he spoke, Shizuru took out a Poke Ball.
Accompanied by a white light, Riding Goat appeared once more!
