Chapter 1105: Monster Ash
Never mind how thick the shield is, just crush it with raw stats!
Regieleki's Special Attack actually isn't high, it could even be called low, but it can't help that the extra bonuses are high!
Transistor, Electric Terrain, plus Electrium Z—whoever comes will be paralyzed!
Even with Aurorus's excellent Special Defense, it had no way to hold on when encountering such a monster.
Let alone the fact that it had already taken Extreme Speed and Thunder Cage before.
"Aurorus is unable to battle!"
The Rotom Phone's judgment drew cheers from the audience.
They had seen Aurorus set up Aurora Veil to reinforce its dual defenses, and with the snow weather bringing even higher defense, they thought it could trade a few more turns with Regieleki.
The result was the same as always.
The commentator sighed: "Z-Moves are indeed the mysterious great power derived from nature, even Aurora Veil can be easily 'pierced through'."
Many in the audience were confused, only learning what a Z-Move was, and just how exaggerated the power of that move was, after the commentator's popular science explanation.
"Ha..."
Grant let out a long sigh; he had originally been very confident in Aurorus's durability.
Logically speaking, it should have been able to withstand that move just now.
Who knew All Baimu would be so... cunning?
Although he knew it was his own rash command to use "Protect" that caused Aurorus to fail to correctly defend against the Electrium Z, it inevitably refreshed his impression of All Baimu.
A young Champion who was good at using deception.
Quickly recalling the fallen Aurorus.
Grant took advantage of the fact that Aurora Veil hadn't dissipated yet, and the opponent was still in the afterglow of using a big move, to quickly throw a ball and send out his second Pokémon.
Bang!
"Roar!!"
The huge and ferocious Tyrantrum landed, and the hard rocks beneath its strong hind limbs were as thin and brittle as biscuits, easily turning into dust.
This was a prehistoric giant beast over three meters tall, far more exaggerated than the average height of two point five meters recorded in the Pokédex.
It looked at the yellow light bulb that had started jumping in place again, its cold eyes paired with the white smoke circling its sharp teeth due to the drop in temperature, making it look full of oppressive force.
All Baimu: "Volt Switch."
"Wait for it to get close!"
Grant quickly followed up with a command.
Just as he expected, the Electric Pillar's move release was different from other Electric-type Pokémon; it was accustomed to circling to the opponent's blind spot before attacking, and at a close distance.
Tyrantrum's dynamic vision wasn't enough to chase the Electric Pillar, but its auditory organs were quite sharp, and the electric current sound that continuously echoed from the Electric Pillar couldn't be more obvious.
Immediately.
It calmed its heart and launched a prediction of Regieleki's movement path.
Grant also closed his eyes until a certain moment.
"Crunch!"
"Roar!!"
Caught you!
Tyrantrum burst forward toward a certain spot, the giant rocks along the way exploding, completely unable to block its path forward!
The giant beast, known as the Tyrant, opened its powerful jaws to bite at the Electric Pillar that seemed to be throwing itself into a trap—
"Beep-beep-beep—"
A dazzling yellow light shone, and the dot matrix on the Electric Pillar's face flickered like stars, causing its speed to soar!
Agility!?
No, it was only using its full speed now!
Grant realized he had been "tricked" again; All Baimu had deliberately let Regieleki hide a hand, just to wait for him and his Pokémon to make a prediction!
What a Champion who doesn't talk about martial arts!
Click!
Tyrantrum's giant mouth, wrapped in black-red dark light, bit into empty air, and the flying Regieleki turned and shot out two electric rings!
Sizzle, sizzle!
The current shrieked, and the intense paralysis made it difficult for Tyrantrum to move for a while.
The commentator shouted excitedly: "So fast! Regieleki dodged Tyrantrum's attack with even greater speed!"
The audience's hearts were tense.
All Baimu recalled the Electric Pillar with his left hand and released the Dragon Pillar with his right.
"All at once, Dragon Energy!"
"Long-long-long—Lei! Ji! Dra!"
Regidrago buzzed, quickly flying to the sky and transforming into its Dragon Head form, with terrifying high-energy fluctuations brewing rapidly!
Grant shouted: "Stone Edge! Use the rocks in the field!"
"Roar!"
Tyrantrum twisted its numb body, its thick tail hammering the ground heavily, shaking up countless broken stones, forming numerous cone-shaped stone spikes around it.
Each one was as thick as a human head, and each one was at least over a meter long.
When the purple-red light beam full of destructive aura rushed straight at its face, Tyrantrum roared and drove the stone spikes forward to block it!
Boom, boom, boom!
The thick stone spikes exploded continuously, but they effectively blocked the terrifying purple-red light beam, making it unable to touch Tyrantrum's body.
However.
The stone spikes had an end, but the light beam was endless.
When the last stone spike shattered, the seemingly endless light beam instantly pierced through the fluttering dust, bombarding Tyrantrum, which couldn't dodge in time, and exploding with purple-red fire.
Bang!
Dust rolled!
The clouds and mist in the sky dissipated, and the snow stopped.
"The time for a counterattack has come! Draco Meteor!"
Grant shouted.
A roar from Tyrantrum came from the smoke and dust immediately, and then a blue-purple light flashed, and a huge ball of light rushed into the high sky!
Bang!
Amidst the muffled roar, countless blue-purple light arrows fell from the sky, gathering at high density and smashing toward Regidrago!
Seeing this, All Baimu said: "Twister, shake them off."
"Long-long-long—"
Regidrago's face dot matrix shone, maintaining its Dragon Head posture and rotating rapidly upward, triggering an azure storm to deflect all the Draco Meteor light arrows that approached it!
Grant: "Nani!?"
The commentator also shouted in surprise: "Unbelievable! Draco Meteor was deflected by Twister! The attribute energy is actually so stable! Is this a top-tier Coordinator?"
As everyone knows, Trainers yearn for ultimate destructive power, while Coordinators pursue stability and fusion between moves.
Only those who have stepped to the peak of both fields simultaneously can combine them into one!
"Maintain this posture—press down!"
All Baimu raised his right hand, and Regidrago's rotating Dragon Head swayed in sync with his posture.
The moment he lowered it.
The surging azure gale whipped up the falling Draco Meteor light arrows, smashing them like a long whip toward Tyrantrum, which was trying to dodge to the side!
Bang-thud!
"Roar!!"
Its overly large body size became a burden for Tyrantrum; the Twister mixed with its own Draco Meteor light arrows, and the dual Dragon-type move bombardment directly shook this giant beast out of the arena!
Grant knew it was bad, "Tyrantrum!"
It couldn't be woken up.
The snow weather hadn't disappeared for long, and Aurora Veil had also dissipated; Tyrantrum, having taken full damage, had no suspense and was defeated by "attacking instead of defending."
"Tyrantrum is unable to battle, All Baimu wins."
The Rotom Phone landed beside the supine Tyrantrum and declared the end of the entire match.
All Baimu glanced at the ranking—
Oh ho!
3733!
It jumped across a full half of the distance!
Grant's score is quite high!
He put away the Dragon Pillar with satisfaction, bypassed the arena, and walked toward Grant, "Good work, Gym Leader Grant."
"The Champion is really... unconventional."
Grant shook hands with him with a wry smile; who would have thought that the main reason for losing to the Champion would be being tricked twice, rather than being crushed by strength?
All Baimu said: "Battling with a strong person like you, I'm always accustomed to giving my all."
"You flatter me."
Grant was praised until his face was full of smiles, and observing his posture from his arm strength, he laughed: "Your physique is good, have you considered rock climbing? If you have time after the Battle Festival ends, you are welcome to visit Cyllage City."
"Definitely, definitely."
All Baimu agreed readily.
There were too many things he had to do, and he might not have this opportunity.
The two parted ways.
Not long after leaving the arena, the Poryphone gave a prompt, "Ash and Korrina have met, starting the battle soon?"
"Oh? Is it starting so soon?"
All Baimu rushed to the arena with great interest, finding that it had indeed just begun.
Korrina sent out Mienshao, and Ash sent out Gengar.
"Gengar?"
The Shiny Gengar popped out from the shadows, curiously watching this battle, but it quickly showed a disappointed expression.
Because Ash's Gengar was very weak; the long-range high-speed attacker was actually slower than Mienshao, getting hit by a set of Acrobatics and being knocked around everywhere.
It finally managed to come to its senses, but Psychic failed to grab the opponent in time, and instead, it was forced off the field by the opponent's U-turn, which could be described as having no achievements and getting beaten up.
Shiny Gengar: "Gengar..."
"Pokémon all grow up step by step, don't underestimate it, be careful it scares you in a few months."
All Baimu smiled and touched its big ears.
Ash's growth in the Journeys series could be described as exaggerated; at the beginning of the year, he had a bunch of newly caught Pokémon, and by the end of the year, he was directly trading blows with a group of champions in the Masters Eight.
Crucially, he won the first two times!
"Gengar?"
The gray fatty looked curiously at Ash's Gengar; the Trainer actually gave such a high evaluation?
As a result, it didn't watch for long before Ash's Gengar was knocked down by Lucario's Bone Rush.
Gray fatty: "..."
Just this?
Trainer, are you serious?
Facing the gray fatty's suspicious gaze, All Baimu smiled and said nothing.
After Gengar was defeated, the successor was Dragonite—
Which also countered the Fighting type Korrina was good at!
Ash in Journeys had learned his lesson; first, he brought a Ghost type to make Fighting moves miss, and now he brought a Flying type to counter Fighting.
However, as a well-known version trap in Journeys, Dragonite was owned by three champions in the Masters Eight, but their performances were all very poor.
He really wanted to say—let me do it!
Ever since he got the Terastal Orb, he had been thinking about how to maximize the benefits of this thing, researching various tactics.
Terastal Normal Extreme Speed Dragonite is quite good!
And as Ash's Dragonite appeared, the match quickly entered the white-hot stage, and Korrina sent out Mienshao again.
The first round of confrontation between the two sides was High Jump Kick against Dragon Claw, and the strong wind generated by the energy agitation hit their faces.
Very fierce!
All Baimu suddenly realized a problem, "What ability does Ash's Dragonite have? Multiscale? Not very likely, right?"
He watched the match carefully; if it were Multiscale, there would be a performance.
When he saw Mienshao's Double Slap painfully hitting Dragonite, the latter endured it and used Dragon Dance.
All Baimu knew, "Hmm, not Multiscale."
Triggering Multiscale would have a faint scale-like light film.
Dragon Dance ended, and Dragonite took a High Jump Kick and countered with Dragon Claw, successfully taking down Mienshao in one hit.
You could see that this kick wasn't light, and there were marks left on Dragonite's belly.
Then Lucario appeared.
Ash said something, letting Korrina take out the Key Stone and complete Mega Evolution with Lucario.
Full-health Mega Lucario vs. half-health Dragonite!
In this critical situation, Ash's first command was—
Dragon Rush!
Greedy, greedy, greedy!
Mega Lucario took the opportunity to brew a fast and fierce Aura Sphere, suddenly pouncing toward Dragonite's face.
Ash only reacted at this time, ordering Hyper Beam.
But at this critical juncture, how could there be time?
Adaptability Aura Sphere directly stunned Dragonite, and Korrina didn't freeze either, quickly letting Mega Lucario use Power-Up Punch.
Bang, bang, bang!
Mega Lucario, leaping in mid-air, hammered it wildly, and Dragonite had no power to fight back, directly falling into the pile of rocks and shaking up a large cloud of smoke!
"This can't hold on anymore, right?"
The Poryphone gave an evaluation.
The gray fatty agreed, "Gengar~!"
However.
Dragonite began a stage of sit-ups.
It used Hurricane on the spot to blow up dust to blur Mega Lucario's eyes, taking the opportunity to catch its breath for a while.
Then, as Mega Lucario used Aura Sphere to disperse the Hurricane, it quickly rushed forward to use Dragon Claw!
Mega Lucario didn't show weakness, Power-Up Punch counterattacked!
All Baimu: "It's over."
"Yeah, Dragonite is over." The Poryphone sighed.
Bang!
Amidst the swirling smoke, the two Pokémon were shaken to both sides.
Not long after, the smoke dissipated, and both Mega Lucario and Dragonite revealed a tenacious posture.
All Baimu smiled slightly, "Watch carefully."
As the words fell.
Mega Lucario lost consciousness and fell, turning back into its original appearance.
Dragonite let out a victory shout, "Awoo!!"
"Nani!?"
The Poryphone shouted that it was impossible, and the gray fatty was also stunned.
All Baimu said: "There's nothing impossible, forgot its two Dragon Dances? And this is the charm of a meat shield and willpower; what is Pokémon battling about? Who can stand until the end!"
Both Pokémon fell into silence.
The Poryphone said: "I really shouldn't have evolved, staying as I was is quite good."
Lacking an Eviolite had a huge impact on its defensive end.
The gray fatty pulled All Baimu's sleeve, looking at him pitifully, "Gengar..."
Trainer, look at my durability, can it...
"Being able to dodge is also a talent, don't worry, you can win in the realm of willpower." All Baimu said with a smile.
Ash's battles with others did indeed refresh the worldviews of the two.
All along, standing firm without falling had been the card in their hands; now seeing that others had it too, it was inevitable they would doubt themselves.
All Baimu comforted them, seeing Ash's ranking rise to 921st, while Korrina's ranking fell to 1421st.
Dropped more than four hundred places!
It could be seen how fierce the competition was near the Ultra Class.
He left the arena, and soon battled another Trainer, successfully raising his ranking to 2981.
"At this rate, I'll meet Korrina and Ash soon, right?"
All Baimu was eating the sandwich remaining in Gengar's belly on the grass.
He had disliked it so much before, but now he felt it was so convenient; at least it tasted better than the boxed lunches sold in the arena.
Ash and Pikachu were both attracted over.
"So fragrant~ Can you share some with me?"
"Chu~"
"Of course, please go ahead."
All Baimu smiled and pulled two out of Gengar's belly and handed them to him.
Ash and Pikachu each took one, and in a few seconds, they had eaten them clean.
All Baimu hurriedly hugged the "Fat Pikachu" that had turned into a yellow electric mouse, asking in surprise: "How did you eat it? That sandwich is about the same size as you, eh?"
"Hahaha! Pikachu has a great appetite, just like me!" Ash said with a hint of pride.
Pikachu was so full it was about to vomit, forcing a smile and shaking its little paws.
"Pika~"
All Baimu looked at Ash, who didn't care at all, thinking that this guy really lived roughly in every aspect.
No wonder he needed a logistics character like Brock.
Ding~
"You have a new battle, the opponent is—Korrina from Shalour City."
