Chapter 1210

No, wait!

What's going on!

Mira opened her mouth wide, and then her shoulders slumped powerlessly.

"I should have guessed..."

With Diantha's looks and status, if she really wanted to date, she could have done so five hundred years ago; why wait until now?

Taking the initiative to find All Baimu during the day could still be justified as collecting photos and autographs for her. Then why cook dinner voluntarily? Were they that familiar after meeting for the first time?

Mira originally thought Diantha had taken a fancy to All Baimu.

As a result...

It didn't seem to be much different?

It was nothing more than taking a fancy to All Baimu's combat power as a Trainer.

"Shadow Sneak!"

"Pumpkaboo~"

The Pokémon that looked like a jack-o'-lantern dived into the shadows, and countless black-purple spikes suddenly shot out of the ground the next moment!

Swish swish swish!

Accompanied by the sharp sound of breaking wind, the Galarian Corsola was forcibly suspended in mid-air, as if it had been pierced by countless spears.

"Corsola!"

It let out a muffled groan.

A Champion's Pokémon is indeed different from ordinary ones; the damage was a whole level higher!

Fortunately, it was tough enough with the Eviolite, so it could hold on!

Under the dim moonlight, the tide surged with a splashing sound.

"Pumpkaboo~"

Gourgeist's figure flickered continuously like a ghost, appearing and disappearing, making it impossible to figure out its specific location.

After all, the dark night is the most suitable environment for Ghost-type Pokémon.

And Corsola, also being a Ghost-type, didn't follow suit and disappear after falling to the ground.

It boldly used a buffing skill.

"Calm Mind."

"Corsola~"

A rippling, water-like radiance appeared on Corsola's body.

Diantha couldn't help but laugh: "What a bold move."

As the words fell, Gourgeist suddenly appeared behind Corsola, its hair-like tentacles wreathed in black-purple light, and it slapped down fiercely!

【Phantom Force】!

Bang!

This attack was truly caught off guard.

It was so fast that even if All Baimu and Corsola could react, it was very difficult to dodge.

"Corsola!"

It was knocked away like a meteor and fell into the surging tide with a splash.

All Baimu's mouth curled slightly.

This was exactly what he wanted!

"Surf!"

"Corsola!"

The tide surged!

In Diantha's surprised gaze, the Corsola that had just been knocked away rode the tide and attacked, like a high wall crushing down on Gourgeist!

Boom!

Huge waves hit the beach!

Gourgeist couldn't dodge in this move with an exaggerated range and was firmly suppressed by the massive amount of seawater; even though it couldn't cause enough effective damage due to its Water-type, it became unable to move!

This strong control effect was exactly what All Baimu wanted.

"Phantom Force!"

Diantha naturally saw All Baimu's intention and decisively let Gourgeist dive into another dimension to dodge.

However, Corsola was slow to move, but its attack speed was by no means slow.

As the seawater receded and Gourgeist tried to get up, its smoke-like tentacles drifted into its body, controlling it again!

Diantha's expression remained unchanged, "Shadow Sneak!"

"Pumpkaboo!"

Gourgeist struggled violently, but it wasn't trying to break free from the restraint, but rather trying its best to manipulate its own elemental energy.

In an instant, the shadow on the ground shot up high, turning into spikes again and stabbing into Corsola's body!

"—Corsola!"

The green light that was about to merge into its body stopped abruptly.

Corsola, after all, hadn't reached level 90; even if it had been boosted by the Spirit Realm some time ago, it was at most on par with the main Pokémon of a veteran Champion.

Gourgeist's single attack didn't count for much, but multiple stacks, even if it was as tough as it was, would inevitably suffer trauma.

Just like now, 【Strength Sap】 had just started, but it was interrupted by 【Shadow Sneak】.

But it wasn't a big problem.

"Continue!"

All Baimu knew very well that thanks to its excellent dual defenses, his Pokémon's combat error tolerance was extremely high; even when facing a Champion, one or two small mistakes didn't count for much.

Sure enough, Diantha couldn't help but be moved when she saw that even though Corsola's move was interrupted, its smoke-like tentacles were still deeply embedded in Gourgeist's body, making it unable to move.

What a firm willpower!

No choice.

"Trick!"

She shouted loudly.

The fact that All Baimu's Pokémon "relied" on items was no secret on the internet.

She had intended to use this move in a formal competition to catch the opponent off guard.

But she was a bit carried away now and didn't want Gourgeist to lose to Corsola, so she decisively took out her trump card move.

"Heh!"

All Baimu raised his eyebrows.

Corsola's attention was entirely on Strength Sap right now, and it was too late to throw a rock.

Colorful lights lit up, and the two Pokémon each handed over their precious items and also gained items.

Gourgeist's Attack was greatly reduced, but it took away the opponent's Eviolite, while Corsola lost its Eviolite but recovered its HP.

The battle situation became confusing.

Combined with the dim night, it obscured the faces of the Trainers on both sides, causing Mira to cover her chest.

She was also attracted by the battle between the two Pokémon and was very curious about which side would eventually win.

"Return!"

Diantha moved first.

Her choice was to switch Pokémon, deciding not to let Gourgeist stay on the field, and sent out the next one to take a hit from the opponent in exchange for taking down Corsola.

At the same time, this also prevented All Baimu from finding a way to get the Eviolite back.

All Baimu's eyes were deep, silently watching Gourgeist being recalled, and another Pokémon quickly appeared.

"Woo!"

It was Goodra!

The second Pokémon Diantha chose was a Dragon-type pseudo-legendary with relatively high Special Defense.

Corsola attacked quickly, "Will-O-Wisp!"

Whoosh!

The spinning ring of fire flew towards Goodra, and the latter, sensing danger, dodged immediately, but the ring of fire dispersed on the way and flew towards it from many incredible angles.

Ever since he discovered that the hit rate of the ring of fire was relatively low, All Baimu had spent a lot of effort letting Corsola practice the micro-manipulation of Will-O-Wisp.

It had shown initial results a few days ago.

One could only say a cliché—it was worthy of being a Pokémon of "excellent quality"!

Goodra dodged four, and the remaining five hit it without exception, making this cute-looking giant dragon show a painful expression.

"Woo!"

Flames suddenly shot up and covered it.

Diantha shouted: "Dragon Pulse!"

Goodra immediately endured the pain of the burn, took a deep breath, and breathed towards Corsola not far away!

The roaring dragon flame formed instantly, impacting Corsola, which hadn't had time to set up Protect!

Bang!

It was blasted into the seawater again.

A Champion's strength is comprehensive, just as All Baimu had completely crushed other opponents in the past.

A Champion's Pokémon, whether it was the ability to endure pain, attack speed, or coordination, was not inferior to his at all.

Even the opponent would be more tacit.

After all, Diantha had spent much more time raising Pokémon than he had!

Fortunately, Corsola had used Calm Mind to increase its Special Defense and had just used Strength Sap to recover its HP.

That was why it wasn't defeated by Goodra's attack, which was made while enduring the burn, but even so, it tasted a pain it had rarely tasted in the past.

"Woo!"

Goodra didn't stop, rushing straight into the seawater.

Corsola's eyes were deep, intending to use 【Strength Sap】, but was stopped by All Baimu in time.

"Hex!"

Diantha's Goodra had the Sap Sipper ability; using Strength Sap would only increase the opponent's Attack!

Hearing this, Corsola angrily summoned a huge eye pupil and released a large amount of purple-black light waves towards the Goodra rushing towards it!

Hum! Hum!

The light waves were like surging waves, constantly impacting Goodra.

But this guy relied on its excellent Special Defense to endure the attack and get close!

What a fierce guy!

Among Goodra, whose personalities were mostly extremely gentle, this guy was truly an anomaly.

"Woo!"

It swung the tentacles behind its head, grabbed it, and threw it into the sky, while deep blue flames brewed in its mouth.

"Dragon Pulse!"

Boom!!

Above the sea illuminated by moonlight, the fire dragon suddenly swallowed Corsola, carrying a terrifying posture as if it wanted to crush it to dust!

Two consecutive Dragon Pulses, and Corsola's state declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Goodra's excellent swimming ability allowed it to easily ride the waves, intending to throw it into the air again so it couldn't dodge, thereby performing a control combo attack.

Reckless!

Truly reckless!

All Baimu couldn't help but look at Diantha, seeing the excitement in her eyes, and then recalling her performance in the Masters Eight in the animation...

Soft and dignified on the outside, but fierce and swift in fighting spirit?

"Light Screen."

He said.

Corsola's candle-like eyes flickered, letting itself be grabbed by Goodra, and when it threw itself into the air, it set up layers of translucent barriers.

"Dragon Pulse!"

The third shot!

Goodra's angry face looked distorted because its mouth was wide open; the fire burn was cooled by the seawater, but the salt in the water was also eroding its wounds.

This made its move even more powerful!

Boom—!!

The terrifying dragon of flame revealed its complete form this time; it spread its wings that covered the sky against the moonlight, bit Corsola, and suddenly swirled, gathering all the energy and blasting it onto its body without missing a bit!

Thud!

It was as gorgeous as fireworks exploding in the sky!

After a short breath, Corsola broke through the smoke and fell, but Goodra didn't come forward again.

Both All Baimu and Diantha could see that Corsola had already lost.

First blood!

The movie queen smiled slightly; although it wasn't a public competition, in a sense, she had broken All Baimu's "undefeated" myth.

After all, she was a regional Champion, one of the few people at the very top of the Pokémon World's pyramid.

If she couldn't even handle one of All Baimu's Pokémon that hadn't reached level 90, she could have retired early.

However.

Was the battle over?

Not yet.

When Corsola fell into the sea with a splash and floated up due to its hollow nature.

A terrifying black light quietly followed the seawater and swam towards the excited Goodra.

"Oooo—"

The sound stopped abruptly.

It maintained a posture of looking up, and in Diantha's stunned expression, it fell into the water with a splash.

Diantha quickly looked at All Baimu, who was smiling just like her.

"Just now..."

"【Destiny Bond】, my Corsola's attack speed has never been slow." All Baimu bowed elegantly.

So far, Corsola had rarely used Destiny Bond with other Pokémon, but its movements were exceptionally skillful.

During internal battles with the Pokémon at home, its 【Destiny Bond】 had always been feared by other Pokémon, even the Shiny Gengar was no exception.

Why?

Because, fast!

When you think it doesn't have a chance to attack, it can always use this move.

The reason for this lies with Hydreigon.

Being bullied every day, and because the opponent had reached level 90, it had to find a way to deal with this guy.

Finally, it chose 【Destiny Bond】.

Damn it! If I'm not having a good time, don't think you will either!

This "burn together" mentality allowed Corsola to often take advantage of Hydreigon.

Using it on Goodra now could be considered appropriate to some extent.

They're both dragons, right!

"Admirable, admirable."

Diantha smiled elegantly and brightly.

She recalled Goodra and released Gourgeist, which had just left the field, again.

Unfortunately, Gourgeist was already in its final form, so even if it got the Eviolite, it couldn't make it effective.

But the Attack reduced by Strength Sap had recovered by now.

All Baimu held the Poké Ball containing Corsola, while his other hand wandered among many Poké Balls.

"A rare opportunity, you go!"

"Pory!"

The Poryphone hovering beside him was overjoyed and quickly transformed into the appearance of Porygon2.

Diantha was stunned for a moment, "Your phone can still battle?"

"Yeah, do you want to buy one?"

All Baimu casually promoted it.

The two Pokémon didn't need their commands and started attacking spontaneously.

Gourgeist opened its big mouth and shot a series of fluorescent green seeds at Porygon2!

Poof poof poof—

The exaggerated number and density of the seeds could be called a platoon's firepower coverage!

Porygon2's figure changed, turning from a toy duck into a circle.

Poof poof poof!

Dust exploded continuously.

After the missed seeds exploded, the sand on the beach flew up.

And while it was dodging the incoming seeds, it quickly approached Gourgeist; in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two had shortened significantly.

As a Normal-type Pokémon, it could already shield against most of Gourgeist's weird moves; even if the opponent used 【Trick-or-Treat】 to add a Ghost-type to it, as long as the Normal-type didn't disappear, it couldn't make Ghost-type moves effective.

There was really no need to change.

This time, it decided to fight to the end in its original form.

Seeing it approach, Gourgeist quietly took out the Eviolite on its body and threw it far away.

It was undoubtedly preparing to use 【Trick】 again.

Last time, it swapped its roots for Corsola's Eviolite, and this time it was the same.

The reason it didn't use it just now was mainly because it was worried that Porygon2 would use Protect at the start, causing its plan to fail and exposing its intention.

Now that the opponent was approaching so blatantly, it must have other plans?

Regardless.

Swap!

Its eyes lit up, and it swapped its roots over.

However, the Eviolite in its imagination didn't appear in its palm; nothing existed.

"Pumpkaboo!?!?"

The opponent wasn't carrying an Eviolite!?

Gourgeist was shocked, and then suddenly saw Porygon2 split into two—

No.

It was one in front and one behind!

It suddenly realized that the opponent had used Substitute, and it had used Trick on the Substitute!

The move failed!

Diantha's brow also showed a solemn color, and she shouted:

"Skill Swap!"
