Chapter 1376: Invincible Monster
Blocked?
Paul's heart sank.
Blissey used the mental shield fewer times, which led to him not thinking of it at the first moment.
"Rock Wrecker!"
He shouted loudly.
Blissey was not a Psychic-type Pokémon. The mental shield was essentially a collection of mental power. As long as the power was strong enough, there was a possibility of piercing through!
"Sai! Dong!"
Rhyperior roared, its arms like siege hammers exerted force in front of its chest, like lava cannonballs from the Earth's core, quickly condensing into shape——
Boom!
The lava cannonball whistled and flew straight toward Blissey's face, but suddenly paused within inches.
As if time was frozen, shining blue brilliance imprisoned it in mid-air.
The source of the brilliance was undoubtedly the mental power released by Blissey, which trapped the lava cannonball like a large net, protecting itself from being attacked.
Paul and Rhyperior showed expressions of astonishment, Professor Oak was also a bit surprised, only Ash's eyes shone like golden stars.
"So, so amazing!"
"Pika!"
Pikachu felt the same way.
To achieve this situation, there was undoubtedly a need for a huge gap between the two sides.
Especially since Blissey was a Normal-type Pokémon, its mental power was undoubtedly weaker compared to Psychic-type Pokémon of the same level.
Paul believed that if it were Cynthia's Spiritomb, it would be impossible to block Rhyperior's Rock Wrecker in this way.
"What level of Pokémon is this..."
He was destined not to get an answer.
And under the mental drive of Blissey, the frozen lava cannonball suddenly rebounded. Rhyperior tried its best to raise its arms to block, but was affected by the stiffness and failed to tighten its body, so it was blasted backward for several meters by its own move.
Bang!
Gunsmoke churned!
"Saidong..."
Rhyperior lowered its arms with difficulty.
Paul looked at the calm Blissey, as if he had returned to the time when he was battling Cynthia and Brandon.
Clearly, he had grown so much over the years, but in the end, he still couldn't cross that huge chasm, and couldn't even get close.
His breathing gradually became heavy.
During this period, Blissey did not launch an attack, even though it could kill Rhyperior immediately.
The body hair sensitive to emotions allowed it to peek into the opponent's inner changes at this moment.
"Happy!"
"Paul, take out all your means."
All Baimu said with a smile.
As soon as this was said, it made Paul's emotions calm down instead.
It was difficult for ordinary people to be crushed by a battle they knew they couldn't win, even if they would doubt whether their efforts were useful in the process.
Caitlin's situation was that she was relatively special herself.
Furthermore, Paul recalled the original purpose of creating this battle—to help Ash obtain enough information.
The pity was that he couldn't force out All Baimu's second Pokémon, but it was also good to let Ash see Blissey's performance.
Next...
He said coldly, "Stomp!"
"Saidong!"
Rhyperior stomped its feet in anger, and layers of earthy-yellow shockwaves rushed toward Blissey one after another.
The explosive attack was blocked, so Paul changed to a continuous attack.
The miss of Rock Wrecker caused the power of Stomp to double, and the continuous attacks seemed even more fierce than Earthquake.
But this time Blissey did not use the mental shield, its round body flew high under the effect of Psychic, fundamentally avoiding the earthy-yellow shockwaves.
In turn, it flew toward Rhyperior again.
Paul shouted, "Drill Run!"
"Sai——Dong!!"
Rhyperior's nose spiral drill soared, the sizzling sound made one's scalp tingle, and earthy-yellow light waves lingered on it, as if it wanted to drill a huge blood hole in Blissey's body.
But before that, emerald green grass suddenly grew on the ground.
Paul's eyes flashed with green, he was stunned for a moment and then his face changed greatly, "Bad!"
All Baimu: "Grass Knot."
The grass grew wildly like a living thing, then coiled around Rhyperior's feet and body, and before Blissey fell completely, it pulled it to the ground and grew rapidly to swallow it completely.
Blissey landed on the "grass pile" and jumped back with full elasticity.
"Happy~"
Paul: "..."
Was it necessary?
Even a person as calm and steady as him, seeing All Baimu use such a distracting means in a winning game, couldn't help but feel resentment.
Was it a bit too much?
Professor Oak laughed, "All Baimu-kun is really used to going all out against everyone, without mercy!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Ash nodded continuously.
Rhyperior was four times weak to Grass-type and had extremely low special defense, and Grass Knot was a move whose power was influenced by the opponent's weight. Blissey's move could be said to owe ten health bars.
There was no possibility of getting up at all.
Therefore, Paul sighed secretly, and after the emerald green grass dissipated, he took back the fainted Rhyperior.
"... Accelgor! Prepare for battle!"
He didn't give himself room to breathe, even though he knew All Baimu definitely wouldn't urge him.
Bang!
Light flickered.
A Pokémon that looked like a Kamen Rider appeared.
Anime fans might not have a deep impression of it, but those who have been in contact with online battles in the games will definitely not forget it.
The root cause lies in one move——
"Final Gambit!"
"Luda!"
Accelgor turned into white light and rushed toward Blissey.
【Final Gambit】, at the cost of all its own HP, consumes the opponent's equal HP.
Simply put, it's one life for one life.
If a Pokémon like Gengar or Dragapult were hit by such a move, even if it didn't fall, it would probably be left with low health, but who is the opponent?
The Pokémon series' number one health cow, the peak of HP value, only Eternatus in its Eternamax form can be on par with it, the best partner of the overtime demon Nurse Joy——Blissey!
"Happy!"
After making eye contact with All Baimu, Blissey didn't dodge or evade and took Accelgor's Final Gambit, standing in place without changing its expression.
Accelgor fainted because it exhausted its HP. Its appearance was extremely short, but it further confirmed to Paul that Blissey possessed an ultra-high level.
"Thank you for your hard work."
He took back Accelgor.
He sent out six Pokémon one after another, step by step confirming Blissey's means and strength, hoping to provide help to Ash.
Paul looked at Ash again without changing his expression.
All Baimu heard his conversation with Accelgor and raised his eyebrows.
Sure enough, Paul's personality had changed greatly compared to the Sinnoh period. The original guy wouldn't even say things like "thank you for your hard work" to Pokémon, let alone not pressuring them.
Even when facing Pokémon that performed poorly, he would choose to release or transfer them to others.
This was quite unbearable in All Baimu's view.
How could you easily abandon a Pokémon that you had decided to cultivate and sent to the field to fight for you?
Simply worse than a beast!
Today's Paul could be said to have grown in all aspects, even if he still didn't have much power to fight back when facing a Champion, but he wasn't an ordinary Champion.
The fifth one appeared soon.
It was Metagross.
"Meida!"
This Pokémon was originally used by Paul to train Ash, but because of All Baimu's sudden appearance, it didn't have time.
Now it was simply used to deal with Blissey.
"Agility!"
"Meida!"
Metagross used its ability to shield the magnetic field, and its four claws moved smoothly on the ground, circling Blissey with lightning speed.
Blissey's gaze shifted, completely not confused by Metagross, its expression was extremely calm.
Paul stared at its movements and tentatively said, "Bullet Punch!"
The previous few Pokémon were defeated too quickly, making him unable to determine whether the Taunt effect was still there. Although there was only one Pokémon left, he felt that there was still hope to defeat Blissey.
People must have dreams. Don't look at the fact that the Champions couldn't do it, it was mainly because All Baimu knew how to replace Pokémon and didn't let those with damage go to battle.
Silver light flickered.
The thick arm smashed down on the back of Blissey's head with extreme speed!
Bang!
A heavy muffled sound, Metagross found that its Bullet Punch was blocked by a shining blue light shield.
Protect?
No, it was the mental shield!
It hurriedly swung its other fist, but Blissey's protection for itself was quite comprehensive, and the second fist was also blocked.
Then the blue light spread to its body, and soon completely imprisoned this Psychic-type Pokémon.
"Metagross! Use Psychic to resist!"
Paul felt that Metagross needed to vindicate its Psychic type.
It was a pity that it didn't succeed.
It was twisted over like a crab, smashed into the ground with a thud, and then Blissey rubbed its small hands and released a Fire-type Flamethrower at Metagross, which was slow to turn over.
"Fire Blast."
Boom——!!
The scorching fire rose!
The battle between the two attracted many Pokémon, the vast majority of which were Ash's.
They watched quietly, and the few stronger ones, such as Infernape, Charizard, and Sceptile, couldn't help but have their eyes flickering.
The Masters Eight tournament was about to open, could Ash's new partners deal with such an opponent?
Except for Ash and Pikachu who had no reaction, the other Pokémon all had some worries, as the strength shown by All Baimu and Blissey was a bit inhuman.
Pokémon with strong observation skills, such as Bulbasaur, found that All Baimu didn't seem to give many instructions, but his eye contact with Blissey was extremely frequent, and it could be said that before every move, both sides had a communication without words.
This tacit understanding made Greninja on the side also feel shocked.
You know, it had to achieve the Bond Phenomenon to do something similar with Ash.
All Baimu and Blissey didn't really need it.
Greninja looked at Lucario and felt it was very necessary to strengthen the training of the latter and Ash in this regard.
Aura was a very incredible power, even it deeply realized it.
And with Metagross leaving the field, the whole battle entered the final stage.
All Baimu put one hand on his hip and smiled, "Are you going to use your ace? Are you interested in fighting my ace?"
Paul was slightly surprised, "Your ace?"
"That's right, Aggron."
All Baimu waved at Blissey, and the big egg prepared to leave the field, "The Taunt state has ended, and the effect of Final Gambit on Blissey is nothing more than the effort of one Soft-Boiled."
Soft-Boiled could restore nearly half of Blissey's HP, and did Final Gambit take away half of its HP?
The answer was no.
Paul couldn't make his Accelgor's individual effort in terms of physical strength full, not to mention the level gap.
"——Please advise!"
How could Paul miss this good opportunity.
Electivire, who was watching the battle beside him, walked into the arena slowly, and Infernape by the riverbank jumped with fire on its head, shouting to cheer for it.
The relationship between them was similar to Paul and Ash, loving and killing each other until the quarter-finals.
Even in order to let Infernape exert all its power, it didn't pursue the victory after it fell, and even the referee who was about to judge was stopped.
Electivire wasn't holding back, it just wanted to fight Infernape who was going all out.
Infernape without triggering Blaze was definitely not the Infernape it was familiar with.
"Qibu!"
Electivire gave face and raised its arms to roar, and the terrifying lightning flashing between its two high-voltage cable-like tails was ear-splitting.
Come on! It was ready!
Under the gaze of Paul and Electivire, All Baimu threw the Poké Ball.
Bang.
Light flickered, and the huge silver-white body was gradually outlined.
The thick horn piercing the sky shone with cold light, the bright silver steel armor was indestructible, and the lake-blue eyes rippled with calm colors.
"Gu... roar..."
The low sound was like a drum, knocking on the hearts of everyone and Pokémon.
Looking at this familiar yet strange Pokémon, Electivire felt a palpitation for no reason.
Why?
How could it be?
It was puzzled by its performance.
Clearly, when facing other powerful Pokémon, it had never had such a shameful performance.
But Aggron really gave it a feeling of being unable to breathe.
Electivire soon discovered that it wasn't the only one who had this feeling, basically everyone who saw Aggron had a "stress" reaction.
Pikachu, known as the legendary radar, was particularly intense.
Its ears pressed back, and it couldn't help but retreat two steps, "Pi..."
"What's wrong with Pikachu?"
Ash, who was as dull as ever, didn't understand.
Professor Oak looked at Aggron in a daze. He had seen more Pokémon in his life than Ash had eaten, so he could naturally see its unusualness.
But where exactly was it unusual?
At this time, Paul asked with difficulty, "Can you reveal Aggron's level? I won't make it public."
"You can guess higher."
All Baimu said with a smile, "As high as possible."
Paul was silent.
How high is as high as possible?
Level 85? It couldn't be level 90!
So far, there hadn't been a level 90 Pokémon in the world, at least not among the Pokémon known to humans.
Electivire, which had been cultivated by Paul since Sinnoh and had been with him for many years, and had now been designated as the ace, had only just touched the edge of level 70 at this time.
He was quite satisfied with this.
After all, Electivire could be said to be the crystallization of the ultimate cultivation by him and his brother Reggie.
Paul didn't pursue the question, and All Baimu didn't reveal the answer.
Level 98, let alone Paul, even Professor Oak probably couldn't accept it, right?
It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he didn't want to see Paul retreat before the battle.
Even looking at it now, Paul and Electivire were already terrified, barely stimulating the remaining fighting spirit.
"Thunder!"
Paul made his move.
Electivire clenched its fists, lightning boiled all over its body, and released a terrifying lightning bolt like a thunder dragon from the high-voltage cable tail behind it!
Crack!!
The lightning passed over the ground, leaving large scorched marks, and hit Aggron straight in the chest.
But the next moment, the lightning that entangled it was easily torn apart by the big monster with its sharp claws. It stepped forward toward Electivire. Although the movement of stepping was extremely slow, the speed was exaggeratedly fast!
In the blink of an eye, Aggron in Electivire's eyes magnified rapidly! ===== CHAPTER 1377 =====
