Chapter 663: The Strongest!!
Chapter 663: The Strongest!!
"Oh, I never expected Dante to use the combination of Grass Pledge and Fire Pledge to break through Shizuru's Grass Field!" The commentator exclaimed with excitement. "With this, Riding Goat won't be able to utilize the Grass Field to recover its stamina, and it'll constantly suffer damage from the burning Fire Sea. Does this mean Shizuru's renowned Grass Trial is about to be broken?"
The two competitors on the field could also hear the commentator's words.
Dante smiled and looked up at Shizuru across the field.
But Shizuru's face showed no panic; instead, he appeared to be in complete control.
Dante's heart instantly became alert. Could it be that Riding Goat had some tactic he was unaware of?
"Riding Goat, Leaf Blade!" Shizuru commanded.
Dante quickly regained his focus and responded, "Multi-Dragon Baltor, Dragon Arrow!"
As Riding Goat's mouth glowed with green light, its body also lit up with white radiance.
Swift Return + Leaf Blade combination!
With a giant grass sword in its mouth, Riding Goat charged through the Fire Sea towards Multi-Dragon Baltor.
With a "whoosh," two tiny Multi-Dragon Mesia shot out from Multi-Dragon Baltor's head.
The Dragon Arrow hit its mark, but Riding Goat's steps didn't falter. The massive Grass Holy Sword sliced straight through Multi-Dragon Baltor's body, sending it flying.
However, being a Champion-class Multi-Dragon Baltor, it quickly stabilized and dove towards Riding Goat again.
"Vine Whip!" Shizuru said calmly.
Two enormous vine whips shot out, sweeping across like giant pythons.
"Phantom Strike!" Dante's voice was rapid, almost simultaneous with Shizuru's command, as if he anticipated the attack.
As the vine whips lashed out, Multi-Dragon Baltor disappeared into the shadows, seeking an opportunity to strike.
Unsurprisingly, the vine whips missed.
Riding Goat stood in place, alert, scanning its surroundings for the elusive Multi-Dragon Baltor.
"You want to use Phantom Strike to ambush me?" Shizuru immediately responded, "Riding Goat, don't give it the chance. Use Leaf Swiftblade!"
"Mee-ah!"
Riding Goat's body erupted with powerful Grass-type energy, and in an instant, a whirlwind of sharp green leaves filled the air.
The leaves spun so fast that they formed a swirling mass, and Riding Goat, at its center, unleashed this storm in all directions!
The Multi-Dragon Baltor hiding in the shadows was immediately caught in the storm, forced to reveal itself.
"That's Leaf Swiftblade?" The commentator exclaimed, "Shizuru has developed Leaf Swiftblade to such an extent!"
"Riding Goat, Grass Holy Sword!"
"Multi-Dragon Baltor, Flame Jet!"
Both trainers gave their commands simultaneously.
Riding Goat grasped the Grass Holy Sword again, facing the blazing flames from Multi-Dragon Baltor's mouth and choosing to charge forward.
The giant Grass Holy Sword held horizontally across its body, and it cleanly sliced the flame in two!
"Multi-Dragon Baltor, use Flame Jet with all your might!" Dante shouted.
Multi-Dragon Baltor's face turned red as it summoned all its Fire-type energy. The flame from its mouth became even more intense and scorching.
Under the effect of Sunny Day, the temperature had reached an extreme level.
However, this only slowed Riding Goat's advance.
The flames inevitably spread to Riding Goat, but it stubbornly divided the fire, inching closer to Multi-Dragon Baltor.
Seeing this, countless spectators stood up in shock.
It was...
Arceus! A Grass-type Pokemon was advancing through the Flame Jet!
"Oh my! Is Shizuru sacrificing himself to wear down Multi-Dragon Baltor, intending to use his advantage of having one more Pokemon to take it down?"
After all, without the Grass Field, Riding Goat couldn't recover!
Moreover, the burning Fire Sea beneath it continued to scorch Riding Goat...
Was Shizuru determined to end the battle without further delay?
However, among everyone, only Dante sensed something amiss.
Impossible! This wasn't like Shizuru; he must have another trick up his sleeve! After all, Multi-Dragon Baltor, not being a Fire-type Pokemon, had a limited amount of Fire-type energy, and using Flame Jet at full power had already made its face turn red.
Within the body of the Riding Goat, an endless and vibrant source of Grass energy seemed to flow!
Finally, Multi-Dragon Balto could no longer withstand the onslaught.
The fire from Flame Jet weakened in an instant, and the next second, everyone witnessed the Riding Goat effortlessly split the flames in two.
The Grass Holy Sword, born from Leaf Blade, slashed horizontally across Multi-Dragon Balto's body!
The battered Riding Goat landed steadily on the ground without turning back, its wounds evident.
Behind it, Multi-Dragon Balto's figure plummeted like a broken kite towards the fiery sea below.
The spectators were stunned into silence by this scene.
After a long while, Dante regained his composure and promptly announced, "Multi-Dragon Balto has lost its ability to battle!"
Dante recalled Fire Dragon and decisively sent out Charizard again.
"Dante's Charizard returns to the field! The Riding Goat has already sustained significant injuries, and with the scorching heat of the Fire Sea, its energy is likely dwindling fast!" The commentator swiftly explained the situation to the audience.
Dante's Charizard, empowered by its Solar Power trait under the sunny skies, would find it effortless to defeat the weakened Riding Goat.
Shizuru, of course, heard the commentator's words.
He showed no signs of panic; instead, he smiled slightly.
How naive.
Did they think that without the Grass Field, the Riding Goat would be unable to recover its energy?
Shizuru smiled. "Riding Goat, Milk Drink!"
"Charizard, Flame Jet!" Dante also went all out, choosing to give it his all.
Both trainers issued their commands almost simultaneously.
On the field, Charizard vibrated its wings, gathering a fierce fire in its mouth. The flames transformed into a thick fire jet, sweeping towards the Riding Goat below.
But to everyone's surprise, the Riding Goat used a rare and niche move.
Milk Drink! The next second, Flame Jet engulfed the Riding Goat.
However, the expected scene of the Riding Goat losing its ability to battle did not unfold.
It bathed in the flames, leisurely drinking its own milk.
The fire scorched its body, leaving terrifying wounds, but the next second, under the effect of the milk, the injuries healed at a visible speed.
Destruction and rebirth.
These extremes played out on the Riding Goat's body.
This sight left not only the spectators at the venue but also those watching on television in awe, their eyes wide with astonishment.
That was...
"Milk Drink! It's Milk Drink!" The commentator's eyes lit up, having understood Shizuru's intention. "As of now, only two Pokemon in the world can learn this move—one is Milktank, and the other is Riding Goat!"
"When using this move, the Pokemon drinks its own fresh milk, restoring some of its energy!"
If it were an ordinary Riding Goat, it might have lost its ability to battle here before even having a chance to recover from Flame Jet's attack.
But Shizuru's Riding Goat was no ordinary one; it could produce Life Milk!
This Life Milk, renowned worldwide, required only a sip for any Pokemon, regardless of the severity of their injuries, to recover instantly.
This divine-like delicious milk was always in high demand among trainers, no matter the time or place.
Even Dante, witnessing this, couldn't help but show astonishment on his face.
"Is this your trump card?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Dante's face revealed a smile.
Without hesitation, he recalled Charizard and replaced it with Pounder Kong.
Facing the Riding Goat, which had restored its condition to peak through Milk Drink, Dante commanded, "Taunt and Swift Retreat!"
As Pounder Kong taunted, Shizuru immediately understood Dante's intention and whispered, "Don't give it a chance. Vine Whip—grab it!"
The next second, both Pokemon on the field sprang into action.
Pounder Kong, successful in its taunt, attempted a swift retreat to withdraw to the Pokemon Ball and summon Charizard again.
But before it could move, two thick vines entangled its body, binding it tightly.
The vines were incredibly resilient, and no matter how Pounder Kong struggled, it couldn't break free.
The Swift Retreat failed, and Dante realized the dire situation, immediately reaching for his Poke Ball to recall Pounder Kong.
But Shizuru and Riding Goat weren't about to give him that chance. With a powerful surge of strength, Riding Goat controlled its two massive Vine Whips, lifting the restrained Pounder Kong high into the air.
Dante's Poke Ball missed its target.
"Smash!" Shizuru shouted, and the next moment, the Vine Whips holding Pounder Kong slammed the restrained Pokemon into the fiery ground below.
A loud explosion reverberated, creating a pit on the ground.
Riding Goat didn't stop there; it manipulated the Vine Whips again, flying towards the air to attempt another Smash.
Dante frowned slightly, wondering how strong the Vine Whips must be if even Pounder Kong couldn't break free.
Now wasn't the time to hesitate. Seeing Pounder Kong's struggle, Dante gave the command without hesitation, "Annihilation Beam on the Vine Whips!"
In response to its Trainer's command, Pounder Kong instinctively opened its mouth to charge up, but the next moment, its body was heavily slammed into the ground.
The impact left Pounder Kong dazed and confused, and the Annihilation Beam it had been charging was interrupted!
The entire arena fell silent.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the helpless Pounder Kong, bound and repeatedly smashed.
Even Dante had no solution for this situation.
He tried to give commands, but Pounder Kong, repeatedly smashed, couldn't even use its moves properly!
The audience watched in shock as Pounder Kong was smashed into unconsciousness, unable to continue.
"Pounder Kong is unable to battle!" Deng Pei announced, his voice devoid of emotion.
Seeing this, Dante's face showed a hint of helplessness.
Gazing at his Pokemon partner, who had given it his all, Dante sighed softly. Then, he took out his last Charizard's Poke Ball.
"Meeting you has been the happiest thing for me these past few years."
Dante's fighting spirit soared as he faced Shizuru.
"It's also because of you that I realized there are stronger people out there. Being able to battle with you is truly wonderful."
"Come on, no matter the outcome, we'll give it our all!"
Shizuru, seeing Dante's actions, chose not to switch Pokemon.
To be honest, recalling a Pokemon with a Poke Ball to dodge an incoming move was a bit unfair.
Using it once or twice was fine, but doing it repeatedly throughout a battle seemed a bit unsportsmanlike.
So, from that point on, Shizuru decided not to switch Pokemon during the battle, instead relying on Riding Goat's full power to face Dante's Charizard!
A powerful Giga Energy burst from the Giga Wristband on Dante's arm.
Purple light enveloped Charizard's Poke Ball, causing it to grow larger.
With a heavy thud, a giant Pokemon over 40 meters tall appeared on the battlefield! Its abdomen was white with diamond-shaped patches, and its back wings blazed with fiery flames. Fire erupted from its horns and mouth—it was the Mega Charizard!
"Wow! Dante's strongest Pokemon, the Mega Charizard, has appeared!" The commentator looked up at the colossal creature, unable to contain his excitement.
Its sheer size exuded power, and its strength was undoubtedly immense.
Riding Goat stared at the massive creature, its expression turning slightly grave, sensing a hint of threat.
Shizuru also turned his gaze towards the Mega Charizard.
After Gigantamaxing, a Pokemon could only use three moves before returning to its normal form.
As long as Riding Goat could hold on, waiting for Charizard's Mega Evolution to end, and then using the four-times effective Rock Slide, this match might not require Gogoat's intervention.
The final battle officially began! "Charizard, Mega Inferno!" Dante gave the first command.
Terrifying flames erupted from Mega Charizard, forming a fiery dragon with outstretched wings, plunging towards the battlefield.
As the dragon flew, it transformed into a massive fireball, as hot and dazzling as the sun.
The high-temperature flames covered almost the entire battlefield.
Riding Goat had nowhere to escape!
