Chapter 1405
Compared to the two systems of ordinary Champions.
Ash, by virtue of his advantage of wandering around eight regions and being young without having to go to work, obtained three systems.
Especially this third one!
Under the sky shrouded in dark clouds, terrifying thunder rolled, Pikachu fell in front of Ash, the baseball cap that didn't know when it was worn backward flew out of thin air and landed on the former's head.
"Pika……"
The two bumped fists tacitly, tails hit, smiles full of smiles between looking at each other.
The Z-Crystal on Ash's wrist also became more dazzling, the light shining brightly on the dim field with continuous drizzle, dazzling like a miracle.
The host shouted: "It's a Z-Move! Player Ash used his third system!"
Lance realized the arrival of the crisis, "Hydreigon! Dragon Rush!"
"Hydreigon!"
The muddy Hydreigon rose from the ground, it roared angrily after returning to the sky, rolling dragon flames covered its whole body, licking every inch of its skin and hair.
Indigo, crimson, and azure flames intertwined and wrapped, and gradually spread, causing Hydreigon to turn into a terrifying azure fire dragon in the blink of an eye!
"Roar!!"
It roared at the neck angrily, invisible sound waves vibrated the rain curtain, as if to suppress the rumbling thunder.
At the same time, Ash and Pikachu's movements were almost synchronized as they swung their fists forward, brilliant golden light shining and linking each other, finally forming a shining Z-Move mark in front of Pikachu.
Even if the flame dragon in the distance was ready to go, with a suffocating sense of oppression, roaring and rushing straight toward them, the two remained unchanged.
Ash went from whispering to shouting loudly, his eyes shining like electricity: "Stronger than Thunderbolt, a super full strength that belongs only to us! Pikachu!"
"Pika!"
"10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt!!"
Ash raised his right fist suddenly, the cap-wearing Pikachu jumped up, and the thunder light surging in the dark clouds poured down, landing on its body!
Crack!!
Thunder roared deafeningly!
"Pika pika pika——"
It shouted, seven-colored thunder light surging all over its body, its whole body erupted with unimaginable huge energy, red, pink, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple intertwined into a thunder light giant pillar spanning the sky and earth!
Rain mist and air were torn apart, thunder resounded through the whole world, every current carried the momentum of tearing everything, the huge arena was illuminated with flowing light and colors, magnificent to the point of suffocation.
"Roar!!"
The flame dragon didn't show weakness, rushing forward with the momentum of a thousand troops, the air was burned and distorted by high temperature, dragging a long fire tail.
It seemed to want to perish with Pikachu at this moment, rushing straight into the seven-colored thunder light torrent!
The next moment, the seven-colored 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt and the three-colored flame dragon collided head-on.
Boom——!!
Dazzling white light swallowed everything, the ground trembled violently, even though the protective devices were activated early, many spectators still felt their butts leave the seat for a while.
What terrifying power!
Many people let out fearful and excited screams because of this, only feeling that this immersive feeling was too intoxicating.
An Xin'er shrank half her body into Diantha's arms, half her body staring boldly below.
And when this dazzling light gradually dissipated, the audience suddenly saw the brilliant thunder light and raging flames continuously colliding in the center of the field, extreme light and heat continuously erupting, seven-colored lightning crazily scouring and bombing the flame dragon body.
The three-colored flames desperately blocked and burned the current, the roar of energy collision shook the whole field, shockwaves spread crazily with the collision point as the center, the ground trembled violently, air currents were forcibly ground into vortexes, and the noise rose.
Is it a stalemate?
Not at all.
This is Ash and Pikachu's exclusive Z-Move, even All Baimu's blood-cow Dragonite's full-power Dragon Breath couldn't block it, let alone Hydreigon's Dragon Rush?
"Decide the winner! Pikachu!"
"Pi——ka——chu!"
Accompanied by Ash's shout, the thunder around Pikachu expanded again, the originally scorching and rolling flames gradually dimmed, shrank, and shattered under the continuous bombardment of 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt...
Finally, it shattered with a bang.
The momentum of Dragon Rush was completely disintegrated, and it could no longer block the advance of the thunder light.
Hydreigon, who lost the power to fight, was instantly swallowed by the vast thunder domain, seven-colored lightning crazily wrapped around its body, and the huge current impact force locked it firmly in the center of the thunder light.
"Hydreigon……"
Hydreigon emitted a short and painful roar, its massive body twitched violently in the roaring thunder, then was blasted away heavily, crashing into the battle field like a falling meteor, stirring up large patches of smoke.
Dong!
The sound was dull, like a heavy hammer hitting the heart of every Lance supporter.
They looked at the place where the smoke was rolling, with a trace of hope and disbelief remaining in their eyes.
A moment later, the smoke slowly dissipated, Hydreigon lay on the ground, wisps of smoke drifting up, the middle head revealing mosquito coil eyes, "Hydreigon……"
Dan approached, raised his right hand and declared, "Hydreigon loses the ability to battle! Pikachu wins! Therefore, the winner of this match is Player Ash!"
The host shouted: "Player Ash advances to the semi-finals! Let's offer applause for him!"
Clatter clatter!
Applause poured into the arena like raindrops, Ash and Pikachu waved with smiles on their faces.
In the audience, Iris danced happily, "Won! Won!"
"Really amazing! The Pokémon that responded to Ash's heart! Really a hearty match!" Hop pinched the braid of his Dubwool, excited.
Professor Oak's research institute, Ash's Pokémon partners cheered, Delia was also moved, "Ash! Too good!"
Professor Oak laughed: "I said he could definitely do it!"
Similar scenes were staged all over the world, Ash's friends were all over the world, naturally countless people felt joy for his victory.
Including Paul who had returned to his brother's house, sitting in front of the TV, he snorted: "Hmph, just so-so."
"Paul..."
Reggie looked helplessly at his brother who was not honest enough.
The Team Rocket trio watching from the high platform were also like this.
"As expected of Meowth's target Pikachu!"
"As expected of the brat!"
"A bit of stuff! Really a bit of stuff! Feel like celebrating!"
"Wobbuffet!"
Ash, born in Kanto, defeated the strongest Elite Four Champion of Kanto, Lance, and from then on, the identity of Kanto's number one fell on him.
Inside the arena, Ash and Lance both stepped onto the field.
He hugged Pikachu, who was covered in mud and water, with a smile on his face.
Lance recalled his Hydreigon, "Hard work."
The two looked at each other.
Ash spoke first: "Thanks for the advice! Mr. Lance!"
"Hmph……"
Lance showed a relieved smile, saying: "Fought beautifully, Ash. You who think for Pokémon, and Pokémon who fight with all their might for you, worked together to win the victory that belongs to you!
"Be proud to your heart's content! I, Lance, am willing to call you stronger now!"
"Thanks!"
"Pika!"
Ash and Pikachu, who received Lance's approval, were in a mood of extreme pleasure, and their desire for victory rose another level.
While speaking, the dark clouds overhead dissipated, and the sun fell to illuminate the two at this moment.
As if God was celebrating for him.
——
The first day of the Masters Tournament ended.
In the evening, Wyndon City was unprecedentedly lively.
Although only two matches were held, every match made the spectators on the scene feel satisfied.
Many who couldn't get to the scene only hated that they couldn't be in it.
The next day, it was also a highlight.
Unova Champion Iris vs. Sinnoh Champion Cynthia; Hoenn Champion Steven vs. Orre Champion All Baimu.
The excitement would definitely not be inferior to today's two matches!
Many spectators guessed if they met in advance, how tense the atmosphere on the scene would be, maybe just looking at each other would produce flames and lightning?
But in reality, lightning might not, flames really exist.
"Is it cooked?"
"Cooked!"
On the top floor of the Rose Tower in Wyndon City, eight Champions and many staff members were having dinner here, holding a barbecue party.
Ash and Iris were not good at cooking, so they had to hold plates and wander around, asking other Champions who cooked by hand if the food was cooked.
Actually, only All Baimu was grilling at first, attracting a large number of people to queue and wait, Diantha looked at her little daughter queuing obediently and felt both distressed and loving, so she also went to cook.
Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, the name of a world-class movie star attracted quite a few people.
Lance saw the hunt and was happy, also joined in.
He showed off to others that when he went out for actions, he often barbecued alone in the wild, and his craftsmanship was not inferior to anyone.
Who knew Steven and Cynthia were also like this, one traveled all over the world to dig stones in places where no one was.
The other also drilled into places where no one was, looking for lost ruins.
This dinner party turned into a Champion Barbecue Conference.
What?
Why isn't Leon up?
Because he can't.
Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at, for example, Leon is not good at recognizing roads and cooking, according to Hop, usually when only the two of them are at home, they can only eat curry to fill their stomachs.
So he didn't force himself, but went to talk to Shanren about League governance issues, and asked about Rose's recent situation.
There is a deep feeling between Leon and Rose, as the Champion supported by the latter, he regarded him as a very important elder.
Precisely because of this, when Leon learned that Rose decided to give up some people living in the present for the sake of the illusory millennium, he would be so angry.
The current Leon carried the banner that Rose once carried, tasting the pressure of the future of millions of people tied to his one thought, it is inevitable to recall the Ming master who once led Galar to flourish.
Clearly only middle-aged, why would it be ominous in advance?
Shanren responded to Leon's questions as much as possible, during the time he learned from Rose, the words he heard most from the other party were Leon and Oleana.
Undoubtedly, they are the two most important people in Rose's life.
Now they also carried everything he cherished after he left.
The atmosphere on the two was too heavy, so much so that Hop didn't dare to approach casually, and ran to pester All Baimu.
Then he was chased around by the Flutter Mane All Baimu brought.
"Ee-ah!"
"I was wrong! Don't hit us anymore!"
"Baa!"
Hop and Dubwool ran around, Flutter Mane swung its braids and chased everywhere.
Because it was an important Masters Tournament match, All Baimu chose to send everyone out together, not leaving any Pokémon he had captured with a Poké Ball at home.
Even Hisuian Zorua was brought over.
A rare indulgence meal, it was rubbing food and drink everywhere, striving to eat itself into a ball again.
Steven was studying Terapagos, his bright eyes looking at the little turtle, "Hmm... really a magical existence!"
As a gem collector, he liked this shiny Pokémon at first sight.
Learning that it came from Paldea, which is not far from Galar, he decided to go over and see after the match.
All Baimu was too busy to pay attention to Steven, he and Blissey, Ogerpon, after grilling a batch of barbecue, had to divide part of it into a bucket, then asked Pecharunt and the Loyal Three to take it to the Shiny Rayquaza.
To thank it for its help today, All Baimu must let this good friend eat to its heart's content.
Shiny Rayquaza coiled in the corner of the top floor, most of its body exposed in mid-air, but it didn't care, and didn't care about the gazes cast from around, enjoying the food happily.
This posture of ignoring others finally made Lance unable to hold back.
"All Baimu, it doesn't seem to be the Dragon God revered by the Draconids, right?"
The Dragon Tamers of Hoenn and Johto were suspected to be branches of the same tribe a long, long time ago.
Don't know how long ago, but the Embedded Tower located between the Hoenn region and Blackthorn City in the far east of Johto is enough to prove many things.
"Indeed not, it's a good friend I met outside." All Baimu responded with a smile.
Compared to Calyrex, whose figure almost disappeared in history, Rayquaza can be said to be a relatively frequent Legendary Pokémon.
Especially in modern times, human activity areas expanded, and Legendary Pokémon that were originally hard to see appeared frequently, no wonder Lance, who is a Dragon Tamer, was curious.
Ash and Pikachu chewed on skewers, vaguely recalling the scene of fighting side by side with it, "Do you remember us? Rayquaza?"
"Roar……"
Shiny Rayquaza looked at the two, still having some impression.
After all, it didn't win that battle.
It and the Eon duo fought the Creation Trio, Kyurem, and two incompetent losers, and actually failed to protect a tower, to some extent it could be considered a shame.
Iris couldn't help but want to communicate with Shiny Rayquaza through the Dragon Heart, the latter readily agreed.
Can watch movies again! Great!
Iris, who was turned against, was a bit confused, her purpose was to stick with Shiny Rayquaza, why did the other party so skillfully ask her for memories?
Soon she learned the reason from Shiny Rayquaza, and felt speechless for a while.
So they usually interact like this?
Iris couldn't refuse Shiny Rayquaza's request, could only transmit memories to it like All Baimu.
And Shiny Rayquaza, after watching All Baimu's memories, had learned how to pick the key points—or rather, fast-forward, ignoring some less important content, and watched some interesting parts.
What is interesting?
Probably the experience of Iris and Ash traveling.
In a time All Baimu didn't know, Shiny Rayquaza turned on the binge-watching mode, and finished watching a whole Best Wishes series immersively.
