Chapter 1054: Gravity Hypnosis

Geeta's two Pokémon attacked at the same time.

"Guli!"

"Furo~"

Espathra's eyes shone with fluorescent blue flashes, and pink-purple hexagonal light flickered in front of it; Glimmora rotated and crashed into the ground, as if the flames from the Earth's core broke through the ground!

Rumble rumble rumble!!

The ground shook crazily, and the vision of both Trainers trembled with it.

Arven's throat rolled with difficulty.

If Protect had the perfect blocking effect as in the game.

Geeta would pay for her wrong judgment and miss the crucial offensive opportunity.

But it was a pity that when the strength gap between the two sides was too large, the seemingly indestructible Protect wouldn't be much stronger than a brick wall under saturation bombardment.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

In the sharp crisp sound, the invisible spiritual power was like thousands of long needles, and like twinkling stars, first shattering the fluorescent blue light shield.

As the rolling earth flames crashed down, the light shield that could no longer withstand the energy impact shattered instantly, and the Rock-type Garganacl felt the wrath of the earth!

"Ooh!!"

Its voice was dull and full of pain.

Although the Light Screen appeared at the first opportunity, the opponent's attack was truly fierce, hitting Garganacl until cracks covered its body.

What was even worse was that the additional effect of Lumina Crash wasn't blocked by Protect, and its special defense was greatly reduced.

It could be described as adding frost to snow!

Seeing Garganacl couldn't hold on much longer.

Suddenly.

A glowing light ball appeared above its head, sprinkling faint light that quickly restored its stamina.

【Soft-Boiled】!

Not far away, Blissey had a serious face, trying its best to pull up Garganacl's health bar.

The effect of Heal Pulse was undoubtedly better, but it was easy to collide with Espathra's Lumina Crash, and the two spiritual powers merged and were discounted.

All Baimu wasn't arrogant enough to let the Normal-type Blissey fight spiritual power with the Psychic-type Espathra.

For one thing, Blissey hadn't reached level 90, and for another, Espathra was the Top Champion's Pokémon!

"Garganacl—"

Arven gritted his back teeth; he knew better than anyone that he was holding All Baimu back.

But the agreed-upon rules were there; if he couldn't show strength that satisfied Geeta, he would only have to smuggle in like last time.

Fight for it!

"Gravity!"

He shouted coldly.

Garganacl suddenly raised its thick arms, enduring the double attack, and summoned the gravity field to descend at the fastest speed in the field.

Hum!

The vast field was suppressed by invisible power.

And the first to be hit was Glimmora, which was floating in the air.

Its principle of floating was similar to Pokémon like Magnemite, and it didn't have extra movement ability itself.

Once the gravity field came, it lay down directly.

Espathra's knees bent slightly, realizing the situation was wrong, and it immediately retreated.

"Oh?"

Geeta showed surprise; it was rare to see Psychic-type moves on Garganacl.

Little did she know that Garganacl had only learned this move a day ago.

She opened her mouth and shouted: "Glimmora, Spiky Shield! Espathra, continue to use Lumina Crash on Garganacl!"

Espathra's eyes shone with fluorescent blue light, and pink-purple light waves flickered in front of it.

It was determined to take down Garganacl and make All Baimu's side lose a member.

But there was a Pokémon whose movements were faster than it—

Blissey!

"Happy!"

It approached Espathra quickly, its whole body shining with blue radiance.

The next instant.

It suddenly disappeared from its original spot.

"Salt Cure!"

Arven's voice sounded.

Garganacl, which had swapped positions with Blissey, roared loudly, waving its thick arms, and sprinkled the salt debris covering the sky onto Espathra's body.

The intense and continuous pain made its legs twitch.

In the distance.

Blissey was hit by invisible power, and starlit pink-purple light waves erupted around it, followed by the blue light of ability reduction.

"Happy..."

But it was obvious that Espathra's Lumina Crash couldn't shake this peak of special defense.

Glimmora opened its petals, revealing green thorns. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to it throughout, as if it were a fish struggling on the shore.

"It's Ally Switch!"

Nemona clapped excitedly: "Good job, Blissey!"

Penny also quietly waved her small fist, cheering for All Baimu and Arven.

Geeta realized that the two had prepared many routines in advance, and her expression became more serious: "As expected of Champion All Baimu... but the power that can truly open up the future! Is by no means limited to this! Glimmora! Mortal Spin!"

"Furo!"

Glimmora suddenly faced down, using its head as a base, and rotated at high speed like a spinning top with its back blooming, spraying a large amount of deep purple poison around.

"Espathra, Dazzling Gleam!"

Espathra suddenly rushed forward between Blissey and Garganacl, and its whole body erupted with powerful colorful light!

Hum!!

Their explosive speed was quite fast, fortunately Blissey reacted keenly and immediately propped up a light shield to resist the impact!

Pfft pfft pfft pfft—

The colorful light and purple poison impacted the light shield, shaking it but unable to shatter it.

What was different was.

"Ooh!!"

Garganacl groaned repeatedly and knelt on the ground; if it weren't for the Light Screen still having an effect, and the Soft-Boiled from Blissey before pulling up its health bar, it would have lost its ability to battle long ago.

"Hold on! Use Recover!"

Arven shouted loudly, but because Garganacl "lost" its Purifying Salt ability, it fell into a poisoned state.

The worsening pain made it unable to concentrate on using moves.

After a full few seconds, fluorescent green light shrouded its body, slowly recovering its state.

It was just that.

Espathra's blue eyes had already locked onto Garganacl, "Guli!"

It was time to lose a member!

Geeta also opened her mouth and ordered: "Take it down, Lumina Crash! Venoshock!"

This move of hers could be described as a conspiracy; if Blissey used Ally Switch to block again, the latter, which had already been reduced in special defense once, would inevitably suffer heavy damage and have its special defense reduced again.

In this way, even if Garganacl survived by luck, Espathra and Glimmora could completely use large-range moves to take down both Pokémon at the same time.

If Ally Switch wasn't used...

Garganacl could leave the field!

Espathra's eyes shone with fluorescent blue light, and Glimmora, which had finished rotating, also bloomed like a deadly mandala, brewing fatal poison.

Suddenly.

"Happy~ happy~"

Blissey sang a moving song, and countless musical notes rotated around it.

Espathra was shocked and subconsciously wanted to dodge, then saw the jumping musical notes brush past its side, and the magic sound entered its ears, making it sleepy.

With its mind unstable, it gave the exhausted Garganacl a chance.

"Hold on!"

"Ooh!"

Garganacl tightened its massive body in a firm stance.

Pfft!

Poison splashed on its body, and the poisoned state made the power of Venoshock double.

The purple liquid penetrated the Light Screen, making a terrifying hissing sound, as if even the giant rock was corroded by the poison!

But this also made Glimmora unable to dodge the musical notes of Sing.

"Furo..."

It fell into a sleep state.

Lumina Crash hit Garganacl like a shotgun, but couldn't knock it down.

Immovable like the earth!

Geeta's side, which wanted to make the opponent lose a member, was now in a thin-handed situation.

The situation reversed!

Geeta was indeed very surprised that All Baimu could use change moves so skillfully.

What surprised her even more was that Arven could keep up with this battle that should have belonged to the two, even if he and Garganacl were like small boats swaying in the wind and rain.

Suddenly.

She keenly observed the change in Arven's expression as if he had let out a sigh of relief.

"Protect!"

Geeta ordered without hesitation.

Espathra retreated backward, immediately propping up a fluorescent round shield.

Just as she expected.

Garganacl, which had held on, didn't use Recover to restore itself; its choice was—

"Explosion!"

It didn't even have time to use Terastallization.

Garganacl decisively erupted with a terrifying energy impact, shaking Espathra at the cost of itself!

Boom rumble—!!

The light shield of Protect was destroyed in this martyrdom explosion!

A huge mushroom cloud echoed between heaven and earth!

Rolling air waves and sand dust blew on the hair of everyone in the field; Arven sat paralyzed on the ground, Nemona and Penny either turned sideways or raised their arms to block.

Only All Baimu and Geeta remained unmoved.

Both sides knew that Blissey was about to move!

In the smoke.

Espathra's light shield in front of it shattered inch by inch, turned into light particles filling the sky and dissipated, Glimmora was blown away by the strong wind, still in a sleep state.

Who would Blissey attack?

Orange-red light waves rose from under Espathra's feet, and it inexplicably produced ability changes!

【Opportunist】.

When the opponent increases ability, Espathra's ability will also increase.

But what did it increase?

Geeta couldn't get the answer for a while, because Espathra itself didn't have much feeling...

"It's Minimize! Watch your feet! Lumina Crash!" Her mind flashed, and she understood what ability Espathra had increased.

【Minimize】.

Shrink the body to increase evasion.

But Espathra couldn't shrink its body like Minimize, so what was increased was only flexibility.

It subconsciously shone with blue light in its eyes, and wanted to jump and escape, suddenly remembering that the gravity field hadn't disappeared, so it had to swing its legs and run.

But it was delayed by that tiny second.

Allowing Blissey to approach it, singing the song in a low voice, summoning musical notes that sank into Espathra's body, which had blue eyes.

"Happy~ happy~"

Gravity Hypnosis combination! Sleep the left side, then sleep the right side!

The smoke blew away.

Three Pokémon fell in the field, and Blissey was nowhere to be seen.

Penny: "... What's the situation?"

Nemona had sharp eyes, saw the super-small Blissey drilling out from under Espathra, and said: "Both of Geeta's Pokémon have been put to sleep!"

"Both put to sleep?"

Penny was very surprised.

Wouldn't that be letting All Baimu attack at will?

Not necessarily, only because Glimmora had signs of waking up, its petals were opening and closing slowly, as if breathing.

Arven withdrew the fainted Garganacl and looked at his good friend beside him: "It's up to you! All Baimu!"

"Don't worry."

All Baimu's face was calm, and he took out the Terastal Orb and threw it at Blissey's head.

Geeta shouted: "Glimmora! Wake up! Spiky Shield to block Espathra!"

In an instant.

Glimmora successfully woke up, it rotated and rushed toward Espathra, but its speed was ultimately not as fast as the focused Blissey.

Only to see brilliant light shining on the small and exquisite body.

In the giant diamond crown, a massive energy that made the whole sky dim gushed out!

"Hyper Beam!"

"Happy!!"

Blissey screamed, and a light beam that reached the sky and the earth in front of it broke through the air, bombarding Espathra!

Rumble—!!

The terrifying ray made people unable to open their eyes, Espathra was completely swallowed, even though it only brushed the edge of the defensive thorns opened by Glimmora, it still easily destroyed it!

The gold content of the Normal-type special attack top-level big move!

The clear sky dimmed because of it, the air kept trembling as if it would tear at any time, and no Pokémon could withstand it!

When the light dimmed.

What was presented to everyone was the scene of Espathra being defeated.

Even though Blissey hadn't increased any ability, and even had its special defense reduced by Lumina Crash, it still defeated the Top Champion's Pokémon with this move!

"Happy!"

The big egg panted heavily; in order not to live up to Garganacl's sacrifice, it could be said to have exhausted all its strength.

And the reason it could defeat it in one hit was that Garganacl's Salt Cure played a huge role—

Pressing the health bar.

Because Espathra used Feather Dance on Garganacl at the beginning, it wouldn't take too much damage itself.

But Salt Cure could make it enter the 【Salt Cure】 state, constantly consuming its stamina.

Finally, Blissey successfully took the lead with a Terastallized Hyper Beam!

"Now it's one-on-one!"

Nemona was full of confidence in All Baimu.

She knew very well that as long as it was one-on-one, this little partner who often sparred with her could absolutely not lose!

Arven was also full of trust in All Baimu, holding the Poké Ball where Garganacl was, and praised: "Too amazing, Garganacl! You are the great hero!"

In the field.

Geeta withdrew Espathra and looked at Blissey, not knowing why she didn't launch an attack at this time.

She said softly: "Truly a powerful force honed through a hundred battles; if Paldea had you, it would definitely be peaceful and prosperous for a long time!"

"Geeta, Chairwoman..."

All Baimu, immersed in the battle, was stunned; it wasn't over yet, why was she praising him?

Geeta smiled faintly: "It's a pity, you are a guest after all. Since that's the case, let you experience the strength of someone standing at the peak!"

She raised her right hand, the brilliant Terastal Orb shone, blowing her waterfall-like black hair, "Shine like the future of Paldea! Glimmora!"

Hum!

Light flowed.

A giant brown-red rock resembling a palace appeared above Glimmora's head.

Geeta spread her hands and said: "Come! The moment to decide the victory is here! Show the strength that surpasses the peak! All Baimu! Tera Blast!"

As the words fell, there was no need to give detailed instructions.

Glimmora flipped its body, like a diamond flower blooming suddenly, spraying an orange-yellow light beam wrapped in rocks at Blissey!

【Tera Blast】, takes the stronger of the user's two attacks to attack, and changes the attribute according to the user's Terastal attribute!

All Baimu didn't hesitate either; the short stiffness brought by Hyper Beam had passed.

Blissey shouted, and also used 【Tera Blast】 learned from Nemona!

"Happy——!!"

"Furo——!!"

The blue-white light beam and the orange-white light beam crashed together!

Thud!!

The top floor of the League headquarters erupted with an unprecedented terrifying loud noise, causing the shaking building to tremble crazily!

The Elite Four all arrived at the top floor, shocked to see this scene.
