Chapter 1331: Rock Pillar's Revenge
Zzz!!
Regirock was pierced by the thunder ring, its body twitching involuntarily.
"Buzz buzz buzz——le~"
Its humming sound changed tone, and it could only watch as the electric pillar turned into dazzling thunder, skimming through the air and returning to All Baimu's Poké Ball.
In the blink of an eye, another one opened.
Seeing this, Brandon waited for the electric light to stop and quickly withdrew Regirock.
"Come back! The next opponent is probably not something you can deal with."
Compared to other Trainers who didn't like to switch Pokémon, the Pyramid Pharaoh had quite a bit of experience in preserving combat power.
In the Diamond & Pearl arc, he also had the three Lei Jiaisi rotate to beat Paul up, without one fighting to the end.
To some extent, All Baimu's battle style was extremely similar to Brandon's.
Bang bang!
The Poké Balls opened, and light shone.
What surprised Brandon was that the one appearing on the opposite side was not the dragon pillar Regidrago, but the rock pillar Regirock.
"Buzz buzz buzz——le~gi~rock~"
It was also an unclear humming sound; All Baimu's rock pillar's tone was flatter, appearing a bit listless.
But as it saw the "giant" sent by Brandon—
"Le! Gi! Rock!"
The rock pillar became spirited!
Appearing on the opposite side was Brandon's ice pillar Lei Jiaisi, the only one of the three Lei Jiaisi that Ash had defeated when challenging the Battle Frontier, which was taken down by Pikachu, who inherited the combat power from the original series and learned Volt Tackle.
"Gee gee gee——le! gi! ice!"
Brandon's Lei Jiaisi responded to the rock pillar's humming, and he couldn't help but smile lightly: "Truly a Champion with a strong desire to win."
Undoubtedly, sending the rock pillar was a decision All Baimu made after predicting Brandon's choice.
Brandon wanted to use Lei Jiaisi to battle the dragon pillar Regidrago, but he wouldn't let him have his way, sending the rock pillar that countered the attribute.
Although it was just a Regi exchange battle, All Baimu didn't want to lose to Brandon.
"Stone Edge! Charge forward!"
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
The rock pillar shook the ground with its arms, and the jagged stone thorns broke through the ground, surging toward the Lei Jiaisi on the opposite side like a tide!
Then it charged forward fiercely, crashing into the stone thorns and turning them into stone blades that flew out.
Brandon raised an eyebrow and ordered: "Icy Wind! Crash into it!"
"Gee gee gee——"
Lei Jiaisi leaned down and rotated in place, instantly turning into a dazzling ice-blue whirlwind, meeting the spreading stone thorns and stone blades.
Poof poof poof!
Ice mist and dust flew, and more of them were the shattered stones returned to the charging rock pillar. Brandon was clearly learning the electric pillar's approach just now, using its own way to counter its own body!
The almost identical battle strategies of both sides made the audience click their tongues in wonder—this was simply like being taught by the same master.
But soon they discovered the difference.
Because compared to Regirock, which chose to defend in place, All Baimu's rock pillar had no intention of dodging the flying shattered stones at all, and even charged forward more fiercely, facing the ice-blue storm transformed by Lei Jiaisi!
Whoosh!
The wind blew!
Frost white was left where the cold mist surged.
"Hammer Arm!"
"Buzz buzz buzz——le! gi! rock!"
The rock pillar's humming was an irrepressible excitement, and the boiling Fighting-type energy dyed it a deep brownish-red; even though it stirred up a sky full of dust when moving forward, it couldn't cover up this glow.
It had been bullied by the ice pillar and steel pillar brothers all year round, but had never found a chance to fight back.
Now that a Lei Jiaisi came out, it was just right for its heart.
Although it wasn't the one that bullied it...
But so what? It was Lei Jiaisi, so just lie down for me!
"Rock!"
Its facial dot matrix shone brightly, so bright that Brandon's face changed drastically, "Not good! Lei Jiaisi—"
Thud——!!
In an instant, a deafening loud noise came from the field, and the rock and ice giants collided violently!
The center of the collision was like Mars hitting Earth, instantly erupting with astonishing dazzling strong light, and the earth-shattering shockwave surged, sweeping across the entire battle field!
The pyramid's defense device was activated, protecting the auditorium from energy impact, but even so, it flickered continuously under the intense energy eruption.
Seeing this, the onlookers were not afraid, but extremely excited.
The main event was here!
The head-on collision between Regirock and Lei Jiaisi!
Who would have the last laugh?
In everyone's expectant eyes, two rays of brilliance lit up in the smoke-filled field.
The left was yellow, and the right was orange.
"Gee gee gee——"
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
Different tones sounded at the same time; it was the ice pillar Lei Jiaisi and rock pillar Regirock that had just collided.
Such a strong mutual collision, yet neither fell down.
Brandon didn't hesitate and ordered fiercely: "Lei Jiaisi! Focus Blast!"
"Gee gee gee——"
"Protect!"
Ding!
Accompanied by Lei Jiaisi raising its prism-shaped arm, a light blue ball of light broke through the smoke and charged forward.
Who knew that the rock pillar supported the protective light shield one step earlier, safely blocking it outside.
"Ice Beam!"
"Dig!"
Rumble!
The rock pillar sank into the ground instantly, just missing the Ice Beam released by Lei Jiaisi.
Brandon frowned.
Once could be a coincidence, twice was definitely not.
Lei Jiaisi's reaction speed was now clearly not as good as the rock pillar's, so much so that both rounds of attacks were a beat slower to be released.
But the "giants" generally possessed the 【Clear Body】 ability, the surface effect was being unaffected by stat-lowering moves, and in reality, when they were damaged, their various states would not decline either.
Thinking about it this way, it meant it wasn't Lei Jiaisi that became slower, but Regirock that became faster!
"Why?"
Each type of Regi had its own focus, which Brandon knew better than anyone.
For example, Lei Jiaisi specialized in special defense, and Regirock specialized in physical defense.
【Hammer Arm】 was driven by Regirock's physical defense; it was not hard to understand that Lei Jiaisi, which was not so specialized in physical defense, would fall into a disadvantage when hit.
But the significant difference in speed between the two...
Brandon originally thought the "giants" on both sides were evenly matched, but now it seemed the other party was a bit stronger?
"Rest!"
"Gee gee gee......"
Lei Jiaisi's facial dot matrix dimmed.
It actually ignored the rock pillar that was ready to go underground and relied on Rest to recover physical strength in full view of everyone.
The rock pillar underground sensed this through vibration, only feeling that all Lei Jiaisi were indeed arrogant; sleeping in front of it, huh!
"Buzz buzz buzz——le! gi! rock!"
The rock pillar's arms vibrated at high frequency, like a concrete vibrator breaking through soil and shattered stones, and rushed out from under Lei Jiaisi abruptly!
Thud!
The ground shattered, and the rock pillar, like a radish growing out of the ground, crashed fiercely into Lei Jiaisi, which was covered in purple light.
A harsh collision sound exploded; this solid ice, known as the frozen air of minus two hundred degrees, was actually cracked by the fierce big rock.
However, the cracks soon healed.
The tireless bright white brilliance lingered around Lei Jiaisi, and in the blink of an eye, it made up for the cracks in its body.
"Lei Jiaisi! Sleep Talk!" Brandon ordered calmly.
Lei Jiaisi's dot matrix shone, and the freezing air around it turned into countless crystal snowflakes, instantly freezing the ground!
Whoosh——
The biting blizzard was about to take shape!
Just a guy in a dream, how could its counterattack speed be faster than it, which was in a state of excitement?
"Rock Slide!"
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
The rock pillar's dot matrix shone brightly, and while taking half a step back, its right arm swung with all its might, like a mountain of force, sweeping and hitting Lei Jiaisi horizontally!
Thud!
The explosion sounded!
The auditorium let out a large burst of exclamation, only because what exploded was the right arm swung by the rock pillar; patches of shattered stones rose with shining yellow-brown light, overwhelmingly impacting Lei Jiaisi!
The latter had no ability to resist and was immediately blasted away, breaking through the blizzard it had condensed!
Rumble——Bang!
The wall outside the field shattered, and Lei Jiaisi, with cracks like spider webs on its chest, flashed its facial dot matrix once, and finally dimmed completely.
On the other side, the blizzard formed by the remaining snowflakes descended, covering Regirock's whole body.
"Buzz buzz buzz——le! gi! rock!"
It roared and shook it away, inserted its broken arm into the ground, and condensed a new "hand" in just a few seconds.
"Hmph."
Brandon laughed lightly, "What a energetic Regirock!"
He finally understood the difference between the two Regirocks; the rock pillar in front of him had its own opinions and wouldn't distract its attention from time to time to wait for All Baimu's instructions.
In comparison, his Regirock was slightly "stiff"...
Of course, this was actually a problem of the personal style of both Trainers, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with his Regirock.
In addition, the other party's battle style was also very unique; at least he couldn't think of this usage of 【Rock Slide】.
Normally, it was using big rocks to smash people; who would think of collapsing themselves?
—The rock pillar could think of it.
All Baimu could also think of it.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
"Well done!"
He gave the rock pillar a thumbs up.
The rock pillar raised its arm and made a gesture that this was a small matter, "Le~gi~rock~"
The tactic of self-detonating the right arm to attack came from a sudden whim of All Baimu and it.
At that time, Mega Mawile punched the rock pillar in the chest, almost shattering it completely; the rock pillar was also a fierce personality, and it simply used Self-Destruct at the last moment relying on Clear Body.
Then it blew itself up.
As a result, the rock pillar took a whole day just to heal, but this extraordinary self-destruct blow also caused damage to Mega Mawile.
After All Baimu and the rock pillar discovered this, they immediately extended the "Self-Destruct" battle tactic from it.
It was a pity that the ice pillar had complaints about this, and the steel pillar, electric pillar, and dragon pillar couldn't achieve the rock pillar's effect, so currently only the rock pillar could perform this tactic.
Thus, today it was used to painfully hit the distant brother.
"Buzz buzz buzz——le~gi~rock~"
If you want to blame someone, blame Regigigas for molding you into Lei Jiaisi; if it had molded you into Registeel or Regirock, it wouldn't have ended up like this.
Lei Jiaisi couldn't answer; it had already been withdrawn by Brandon.
But the rock pillar was still excited, buzzing non-stop; in its view, it could be considered to have taken revenge.
It vented its anger fiercely!
All Baimu had the heart to persuade it not to be too arrogant; you only beat another Lei Jiaisi, which could only be considered a substitute, and the real Lei Jiaisi was still in the ball.
But the violently vibrating Poké Ball dispelled his idea.
Lei Jiaisi had already "seen" it.
Speaking of which, the ice pillar clearly relied on temperature to observe the world; why could it peek at the rock pillar through the Poké Ball?
Maybe this was the tacit understanding between brothers.
The referee hurriedly announced the battle result, but no one cared; everyone only cared about which one would be paired against which next time.
All Baimu withdrew the rock pillar a bit slower and threw the ball at the same time as Brandon.
Bang bang!
"Rumble rumble rumble——le! gi! drago!"
"Doo doo doo——le! gi! steel!"
Giant civil war third round, dragon pillar Regidrago vs steel pillar Registeel.
The moment it appeared, the dragon pillar floated.
Astonishing energy gathered at its core, the bright blue dot matrix shone like a bright lamp, dragon flames boiled and covered its body surface, and the air fluctuated with it!
Brandon, who had seen the dragon pillar battle footage, showed a smile.
"Let's take this blow! Amnesia!"
Steel type resisted Dragon type, and Registeel was also a Pokémon with excellent physical and special defense; Brandon had no reason not to try to take it hard.
It was time to take the opportunity to pull back a game!
"Doo doo doo——le! gi! steel!"
Registeel opened its arms, purple-red energy continuously washed over its body, and its special defense rose significantly.
The next instant.
"Dragon Energy."
Rumble——!!
The wide field suddenly became pitch black, as if all the lights had been extinguished in an instant.
The earth-shattering loud noise continued to echo, and the roaring light blue dragon flames swallowed everything visible to the naked eye with the momentum of destroying everything; the whole space was trembling violently, along with the huge Battle Pyramid.
Many people even thought an earthquake had just happened.
Only the staff of the Battle Pyramid looked at all this dumbfounded, extremely doubting whether the field could still be preserved.
"This power! Too much!"
"And it's very persistent!"
"Is Regidrago a 'giant' comparable to Regigigas?"
Before this, they had only seen Regigigas exhibit such extraordinary power.
Until four or five seconds later, the dragon flames like Godzilla's atomic breath stopped gushing; the dragon pillar was covered in smoke, like a cannon barrel that had fired a dozen shells.
Below it was a sunken deep cave, shaped like a meteorite crater, appearing particularly shocking.
Registeel at the bottom of the pit was also surrounded by dust, its facial dot matrix rotating with scarlet luster.
"Doo doo doo——le! gi! steel——"
The originally impassioned tone collapsed halfway, and the stable figure suddenly tilted forward, but stood firm again soon.
Everyone then saw that Registeel's body seemed to be a little deformed.
It became flatter than before.
One had to know that Registeel's body was cast from the hardest metal in the world, and to be able to blast it into deformation...
"Another shot!"
All Baimu raised his hand to greet.
Full-state Dragon Energy-boosted Dragon Energy; if he didn't want to be too ruthless, he actually planned to add a Terastallization to it.
But it was estimated that it would be difficult to kill Registeel in seconds; Dragon-type resistance plus Amnesia special defense boost, being able to blast it into deformation was enough to count as the dragon pillar's output being fierce enough.
Brandon didn't dare to let his Registeel take it again, "Gravity!"
"Doo doo doo!"
Registeel's facial dot matrix shone brightly, and invisible pressure acted on the entire field, knocking down the dragon pillar that was accumulating energy in the air.
But to Brandon's surprise, the dragon pillar's energy accumulation didn't change at all; even if it crashed heavily to the ground, it still completed the accumulation.
Even to find a suitable angle, it rotated and charged forward, then released it fiercely!
Rumble——!!!
The world turned upside down! ===== CHAPTER 1332 =====
