Chapter 1220
"Dragon Darts."
All Baimu's voice seemed a beat slow, but it made Diantha shudder.
Pokémon battles are all about being fast, accurate, and ruthless!
When she saw the smoke on both sides of Dragapult's head, and the two little Dreepy that were so fast they only left energy afterimages, she clearly realized she had fallen into All Baimu's trap.
Everything before was a setup for the present.
He was luring her to switch out Mega Gardevoir, so he could take out Tyrantrum in one go, thereby leaving Mega Gardevoir in a helpless situation.
Recalling All Baimu's past tactics, it's not hard to see that when an opponent has only one Pokémon left, the chance of a comeback is extremely small.
But what's frustrating is that Diantha had to do it.
Mega Gardevoir's status was too bad; as the strongest power in her hand, she had to ensure it had enough stamina to deal with All Baimu's third Pokémon.
Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and even the mysterious Terastal phenomenon.
He hadn't revealed any of these systems yet!
Diantha's switch was both out of caution and a helpless move.
The result was still falling into this trap called "luring the enemy into the urn"!
Too late.
It was too late to use any move.
Although she thought so in her heart, seeing those two fleeting blue lights, she still couldn't help but shout out.
"Outrage!!"
If you can't dodge, fight!
Tyrantrum, who had just entered the field, heard the Trainer's voice, and his elemental energy subconsciously circulated; who knew that just as there was a sign, dazzling radiance suddenly flashed before his eyes.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Sharp whistling sounds echoed in his ears.
The next moment, indescribable pain and intense burning sensations came from his abdomen and under his jaw!
Bang, bang!
Azure dragon flames burst, enveloping Tyrantrum completely!
"Roar!"
Unstoppable painful roars sounded in the smoke.
Immediately, the two little Dreepy withdrew at high speed.
Malva shouted passionately: "Clever timing! Decisive action! The referee hasn't acted!"
The so-called Pokémon and Trainer influence each other; the Fire-type Elite Four naturally also has a Fire-type temper, just like her bad attitude toward players after tearing off her disguise in the game.
As the match progressed to this point, her desire to fight was also ignited after a long time, and her volume increased accordingly.
The audience was noisy, and everyone was sighing and cheering for Dragapult's wonderful performance. Especially when they saw the referee didn't act, confirming All Baimu hadn't violated any rules.
【King of Change】! 【Legend of Controlling Timing】!
In the live broadcast room, countless viewers spammed his various titles, and the crazy barrage almost covered the entire screen, making many people only able to see the barrage or related terms.
However, what everyone was most concerned about was undoubtedly Tyrantrum's status.
Taking Dragon Darts from Dragapult head-on, does it still have its life—
No, can it still continue to fight?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a Tyrannosaurus with blood-red eyes roared and rushed out of the swirling smoke!
"Roar!!"
Its roar was as dull as thunder, and its whole body was filled with terrifying murderous aura as it lunged at Dragapult!
Malva couldn't help but stand up, holding the microphone and shouting: "Tyrantrum stands tall! The ancient king who triggered Outrage has revealed his fangs!!"
Diantha's expression was calm, as if everything was within her expectations.
"Go! Tyrantrum!"
She shouted.
Tyrantrum roared in response, and the murderous aura condensed into tangible red and blue mixed smoke.
This is the mark of Outrage!
Shocking!
When everyone thought that even if Tyrantrum hadn't fallen, he wouldn't have much stamina left and would likely be switched out.
He launched an attack on Dragapult with an extremely aggressive posture!
"Tyrantrum! Tyrantrum!"
"Go!! Defeat Dragapult!!"
The screams in the audience were constant, the crowd surged like giant waves, and the local fans raised their arms high, their cheers so loud that even the air was resonating.
The lively atmosphere seemed to want to lift the entire venue dome.
In the live broadcast room, Diantha's supporters quickly counterattacked, typing the many titles of this movie star on the public screen, successfully drowning out All Baimu's barrage.
While the live scene was fiercely clashing, the two "Champions" in the network were also continuing to fight.
The attention of the Rotom Phone was pulled away and put back on the field.
It looked at Dragapult with slight worry.
"Lutuo!"
Seeing the opponent "resurrect," the socially anxious dragon also revealed a look of shock, and when the little Dreepy returned, it immediately turned invisible.
It's just that this move wasn't very useful in front of the current Tyrantrum; the severely injured Tyrannosaurus's sense of smell hadn't decreased, but had become even sharper due to 【Outrage】.
Thump!
The ground exploded with cracks.
Its massive body suddenly jumped up, and the swirling smoke and murderous aura grew with the wind, actually burning fiercely as it tumbled!
Whoosh!
Crimson and azure dual-colored flames shot into the sky!
A huge and ferocious dragon head revealed its teeth and bit into the void, as if it wanted to swallow the sky and the earth!
"Lu!!!"
Dragapult's pupils shrank; seeing the opponent not even sniffing, rushing toward it like it had turned on a wall-hack, it felt very bad!
It's not even acting anymore!
Before it could think too much, it actively exposed its figure and withdrew to dodge, feeling that the opponent shouldn't possess aerial mobility—
It really is afraid of what will happen.
When the socially anxious dragon retreated, the flame Tyrannosaurus that should have been gradually shrinking suddenly magnified!
Terrifying heat followed!
In just an instant, Dragapult made a decision, no longer hiding its moves and decisively driving Quick Attack.
The bright white light was fleeting, and its translucent tail was bitten by the suddenly closing teeth, then quickly pulled away forcefully.
Crack-bang!
Dragon flames tumbled, and smoke rolled.
Tyrantrum failed to bite the opponent completely, and his massive body began to fall.
Although he had briefly sprinted in the air with dragon flames just now, it was like Aggron's explosive leap, eventually reaching the limit of his strength.
But before he had completely landed, the bright white flash suddenly returned like a boomerang!
Bang!
Dragapult suddenly slammed into Tyrantrum's spine, adding force to his fall.
Fall down!
Its eyes were exceptionally fierce; almost being bitten made it realize that long nights bring many dreams.
Must take Tyrantrum out as soon as possible!
Thump, thump!
Both dragons fell to the ground, shaking up large clouds of dust.
Dragapult got up and retreated first, putting enough distance between it and Tyrantrum.
As if confirming its caution, a thick red-smoke giant tail suddenly swept across where it was, causing a dull whistling sound.
Still not down!
Quick Attack's follow-up was still not enough to defeat it!
"Retreat! Don't fight it!"
All Baimu had already glimpsed the clues.
Although he encountered it relatively rarely, forced health-locking exists in Pokémon battles.
Perhaps it's the influence of the bond, perhaps it's the stimulation of fighting spirit.
Just like Ash's Infernape, Flare Blitzing again and again, taking so much damage, and finally being able to sit up.
It can be seen that Pokémon with similar characteristics are very difficult to defeat with normal means for a period of time, and Tyrantrum in the 【Outrage】 state just happens to fit.
All Baimu isn't as stubborn as Barry; he wouldn't let the socially anxious dragon continue to fight hard.
"—Lutuo!"
Dragapult retreated unwillingly.
It wanted to take Tyrantrum out in one go, to avoid being defeated by the latter and becoming the most embarrassing one in the team again.
Maybe it's hard to take down Mega Gardevoir, but at least it has to take one head!
The slightly restless Dragapult siblings also calmed down.
Both originally wanted to volunteer, to attack and interfere with the opponent with the body of Dragon Darts, but now hearing the Trainer's voice, they had to stop.
"Roar!!"
The angry Tyrantrum jumped up again, his eyes glowing red, and dragon flames burned again, intending to swallow Dragapult in mid-air.
It's just that the socially anxious dragon was focused on escaping at this moment, not making any counter-attacks; how could he catch up?
In terms of mobility, so what if Tyrantrum is in Outrage? He can't catch up!
Malva shouted: "All Baimu has changed his tactical strategy! He is stalling for time! Waiting for Tyrantrum's Outrage to end!"
When Outrage ends, Tyrantrum will fall into a state of confusion.
More importantly, he can no longer lock his health!
Diantha knew this better than anyone, and wasn't surprised at all that All Baimu had figured it out.
"Chase it! Force it into a corner!"
She ordered repeatedly, making Tyrantrum seem to have gained endless strength, chasing Dragapult all over the field.
Looking closely, he was like a burning fireball wrapped in dragon flames.
Boom!
Boom!
Dull sonic booms echoed constantly, and the fireball moved at high speed, chasing the faster black shadow.
In an instant, the entire field turned into a sea of fire scorched by dragon flames, and Tyrantrum, relying on his brief hovering ability, actually almost caught the socially anxious dragon several times.
Although he ended up letting it escape, the exploding dragon flames caused it some damage.
Even if it was just a drop in the bucket!
And from the God's-eye view, the Pokémon battle had been turned into a game of tag by the two of them.
Even if the actual chase lasted for a short time.
Time passed minute by minute, Diantha clenched her palms tightly, and the audience appeared more nervous than her, the person involved.
After all, 【Outrage】 will eventually end, and there aren't many opportunities left for Tyrantrum.
Diantha held the Poké Ball tightly, still holding a glimmer of expectation in her heart.
If Tyrantrum could persist without falling after Outrage ended, and take the opportunity to switch him out and send Mega Gardevoir to use 【Wish】, maybe it could make the situation clear again...
Switch!
Her eyes lit up with brilliance, and the moment the dragon flames on Tyrantrum's body dissipated, she recalled him into the ball with the fastest speed in history.
All Baimu glimpsed the elemental energy shrinking on Tyrantrum's body, but his judgment was ultimately not as fast as the Trainer who knew him better; even though Dragapult realized the situation was wrong and charged with Quick Attack, it was too late.
"Switch! Diantha chooses to switch!"
Malva shouted, and the audience was in an uproar, looking at referee Deng Pei one after another.
When Tyrantrum was recalled into the ball, had he lost the ability to fight?
The aerial camera Rotom circling above the arena gave Deng Pei the answer through data analysis.
——Switch is valid!
"Lutuo!"
Dragapult was so angry that its chest felt tight.
It escaped!
A prey that should have been firmly taken!
All Baimu: "Don't be anxious! We still have many opportunities!"
"…Lutuo."
Dragapult responded.
From the big picture, this is indeed the case; Tyrantrum is infinitely close to residual health, and if he returns to the field, any move will likely defeat him.
Mega Gardevoir's status is good, but that's not the opponent it needs to deal with.
Force switch!
Force a switch again!
It turned its head and conveyed its will to the Trainer.
All Baimu saw its eyes, then looked at Mega Gardevoir, who had returned to the field, and nodded to give the order.
"Curse."
"Lutuo!"
Dragapult rushed forward, black mist rippling on its body and turning into a ferocious ghost.
Activated at the cost of half its stamina!
Diantha was stunned; she suddenly had three cards in her hand—
'Take the Curse, use Wish, and switch immediately.'
'Take the Curse, use Hyper Voice to attack Dragapult.'
'Try to dodge the Curse and wait for an opportunity.'
Playing any of these three cards could lead to a completely different final result.
The time left for her to think was extremely short.
"Hyper Voice!"
Try to defeat Dragapult!
As long as it can take it out, and then take out Blissey, who also has unhealthy stamina, she could fight All Baimu "equally"!
For this, even if it meant consuming Mega Gardevoir's stamina, she wouldn't hesitate!
"Sha—na—!!"
Curse entered the body, and pink sound waves surged forward; Mega Gardevoir was going to trade damage for life!
And since Dragapult was prepared to force a switch, it must have made corresponding preparations, still flying toward the few blind spots of Mega Gardevoir's Hyper Voice.
Suddenly.
It noticed something.
This guy—
"Sha~na!!"
Mega Gardevoir looked up!
It predicted that Dragapult would go to a place it couldn't shout at, and decisively approached the blind spot!
It's really simple to expand the damage range of sound-based moves.
Dragapult flipped and danced, but it had predicted the opponent's move in advance, changing its posture from upward to downward and hugging the ground.
But even so, it was still grazed.
This graze almost made it hurt so much it couldn't get up from the ground.
"Lutuo!"
"Hyper Voice grazed the edge! Dragapult's status doesn't look good! Diantha's opportunity has arrived!"
Malva was very excited, making the audience excited too.
Is Diantha finally going to have results?
After fighting for a long time on the field and using Curse, which consumes half its stamina, the socially anxious dragon's status was no better than Blissey's.
Mega Gardevoir shouts one more time, and there's a high probability it will take Dragapult down.
"..."
For a long time, this was the first time All Baimu had fought to this point; should he send out his third Pokémon?
What about Diantha's side?
Mega Gardevoir was cursed, and it was losing a lot of stamina every second it stayed.
Attack?
All Baimu held the Poké Ball, and Dragapult looked at Mega Gardevoir; despite the disadvantageous situation, it seemed to be waiting for the opponent to attack.
However, Diantha's choice completely exceeded his expectations.
"Wish!"
"Shana~"
Mega Gardevoir prayed to the stars, and a light was released from its body, flying into the sky and turning into stars.
Dragapult's eyes widened instantly.
Healing!?
Facing a Pokémon with residual health, you chose to heal!?
It originally wanted to use Disable to seal its Hyper Voice when Mega Gardevoir attacked, but the opponent used this move?
"Phantom Force!"
"Lutuo!"
Dragapult decisively opened a channel to another dimension, dragging its painful body into it.
Who knew Diantha switched again.
All Baimu: "..."
Until this moment, without Malva's explanation, many in the audience suddenly realized, "Wish is for Tyrantrum!"
Bang!
The heavily injured Tyrantrum returned to the field!
Diantha: "Dragon Rush!"
"Roar!"
The exhausted Tyrannosaurus twisted its body, and the stars in the sky fell, gradually merging with it.
And at this critical moment, Dragapult suddenly rushed out of the other dimension, its long tail aiming for Tyrantrum's waist.
Tyrantrum seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, suddenly turning around and colliding with it!
Bang!
Smoke swirled!
All Baimu's heart sank slightly; Dragapult... was still too impatient!
He looked at Diantha again, and couldn't help but complain about how obsessed she was with sending Tyrantrum into battle!
