Chapter 1410: The Battle of the Earth Dragons

Wow!

The applause in the venue surged like a tide.

On the streets outside the venue and on the internet, there was much discussion. Some thought Iris was quite bold to dare to use Drill Run against Togekiss; others thought she had played all her trump cards and was likely in great danger.

So, what choice would Cynthia make for her final Pokémon?

"It's nothing more than a choice between Lucario and Garchomp."

All Baimu said softly, "Among Cynthia's Pokémon, only these two can Mega Evolve."

Unless she is willing to give up the opportunity for Mega Evolution and choose Milotic like in the original plot.

But it's highly unlikely.

Cynthia's Milotic is not All Baimu's Shiny Milotic, and besides, under the premise of Excadrill's Mega Evolution, Water-type moves might not necessarily have an outstanding effect.

For example, Togekiss's final attack—Fire Blast—was easily drilled away by Mega Excadrill without any effort.

Although it was not its STAB move, who could guess if Milotic's Hydro Pump would receive the same treatment?

Close-quarters combat with Mega Excadrill is the final answer to this match!

Inside the venue.

Iris was panting heavily, her tense heartstrings slightly relaxed.

Mega Excadrill canceled the giant drill form, and when it looked at her sideways, its eyes were full of confidence and pride.

"Drill!"

"Yeah, we did it!"

They used Mega Evolution in public for the first time. Before, they had been practicing quietly in private, and they didn't expect to defeat Togekiss so easily.

The two are the original partners and the most tacit existence.

They can be even stronger!

Iris clenched her fists, looking at Cynthia in the distance, filled with high fighting spirit.

Come on!

Final showdown!

And in the gaze that was as scorching as fire, Cynthia raised her hand to recall Togekiss, comforting it through the Poké Ball: "You did very well, Togekiss."

The Drill Run that broke through Protect truly exceeded her expectations, and she was also seeing Excadrill's Mega Evolution for the first time.

However, the ending would not change in the slightest!

Cynthia's fingertips flicked slightly, and an Ultra Ball was thrown into mid-air, exploding and falling toward the ground with brilliant white radiance.

"Dance in the sky! Garchomp!"

Bang!

"Garchomp!"

The Sinnoh Champion's ace—the Mach Pokémon Garchomp—appeared!

The dense dark blue scales reflected the sunlight, and the wide fin blades were like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, giving Iris and Mega Excadrill immense pressure.

The two Pokémon confronted each other from afar, as if an invisible force was surging between the two, not only affecting the two people in the venue but also causing the audience outside to gradually quiet down.

The host shouted, "Cynthia has sent out her final Pokémon! The final battle is about to arrive!"

The next instant.

The horn of battle sounded suddenly!

Cynthia: "Draco Meteor!"

Iris: "Dig!"

As the words fell, Garchomp raised its head and let out a dragon roar that shook the sky.

"Roar!!"

Purple streams of light condensed into shape in the blink of an eye, flying toward the high sky at extreme speed, exploding and turning into countless meteors burning with purple-red dragon flames!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

They made shrill screeches, falling from the sky like a rainstorm, carrying destructive momentum, densely pouring down toward Mega Excadrill.

The meteors streaked across the sky, leaving behind purple-red trails. Before they landed, the scorching heat wave had already swept the entire venue.

"Drill!"

Mega Excadrill didn't dare to hesitate, turning into a huge crimson drill again, quickly drilling open the pitted ground and sinking to the bottom, causing the venue to have another huge pitch-black hole.

Garchomp's Draco Meteor slammed into empty space, like high-intensity firepower coverage from a cannon, instantly exploding a spiderweb-like gully.

The terrifying impact swept around, but it didn't even touch Mega Excadrill's figure.

Smoke rose continuously, filling the entire venue.

Cynthia didn't have any hesitation, decisively letting the Garchomp covered in blue light use the next move, "Earthquake!"

"Garchomp!"

Garchomp growled, its feet and thick giant tail stomping the ground simultaneously. A violent earthy-yellow shockwave spread crazily along the ground, blowing away the smoke!

The violent tremor swept the entire venue with it as the center, huge gullies crisscrossed, and gravel flew into the sky.

At this moment, the venue, which had been constantly ravaged by the two people's Pokémon, completely disintegrated, turning into ruins full of scars.

But the two Pokémon had no mind to care about the changes in the environment, their minds were all tied to the opponent's condition.

The moment the shockwave roared forward, Mega Excadrill had already broken through the soil, rushing to the high sky to avoid the shockwave of the Earthquake, and stabbed straight at Garchomp at a parabolic angle!

Iris shouted, "Smart Strike!"

Hum!

The crimson spiral drill responded with a whistling sound of rotation. The sharp drill pierced the air, flying with the momentum of piercing everything!

"Block it! Brick Break!"

Cynthia's gaze was calm, her voice unhurried.

Garchomp quickly raised its thick fin blades to cross in front of its chest, and condensed a brownish-red radiance on them.

In an instant, the crimson spiral struck, making a teeth-aching screech on the surface of Garchomp's fin blades like an electric drill.

"Screech—!!"

Sparks jumped everywhere, and Garchomp's body also shifted backward slightly for a distance.

"Garchomp..."

Garchomp stabilized its center of gravity with its tail, its sharp teeth clenched, feeling very surprised by Mega Excadrill's attack power.

No, it can't be drilled any further!

It knew it couldn't completely block this move, so it risked the danger of unloading the force, suddenly pulling out its right fin blade and smashing it fiercely toward the top of the drill!

Clang!!

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the venue!

Following that, the impact of the two types of energy exploded in the collision. The shockwave spread crazily with the collision point as the center, countless gravel on the ground was lifted, and fine light particles splashed like fireworks.

More importantly, the tip of the drill was knocked crooked by this heavy Brick Break, grazing Garchomp's thick fin blade. After leaving a visible long strip mark on it, it brushed past its body and drilled into the ground.

Swish swish swish—

Dust flew, covering everything.

Seeing this scene, Cynthia didn't hesitate anymore, took out her lipstick, and shouted with a cold gaze, "It's time! Go all out and defeat the opponent, Garchomp!"

Hum!

The golden heart-shaped chain was released from the Key Stone, echoing with the Mega Stone on Garchomp's body.

Dazzling seven-colored light gradually enveloped Garchomp's body. Its size grew visibly to the naked eye, its scales became thicker and harder, its blades changed from fish fins to real scythes, and blood-red light flickered on the edges.

Its jaw became angular, its whole body was covered with snow-white spikes, and the spindle-shaped organs on both sides of its head became like missiles.

"Garchomp!!"

Mega Garchomp roared to the sky, causing the ground to tremble violently. Its aura was violent to the extreme, descending into the venue like a heavy hammer!

The smoke was quickly defeated, clearly revealing the surrounding environment.

The might of the giant dragon!

Iris and Mega Excadrill both knew very well what this aura represented, and they had seen it more than once.

Not to be polite, the might of the Mega Garchomp in front of them could be compared to the Hydreigon she had seen before, infinitely close to the Dragon King located in the Dragon Village!

The host shouted, "It's here! Cynthia's Mega Evolution! The match has entered the true white-hot stage!"

Facing Mega Excadrill, which has the Steel type, ordinary Mega Evolution is undoubtedly more advantageous.

All Baimu had asked Cynthia before and learned that Mega Garchomp Y seems to be a single Dragon-type Pokémon. The reason is that the power of Dragon-type moves has increased significantly, while the power of Ground-type moves has not increased much.

"Go! Excadrill!"

Iris shouted, the crimson spiral drill broke through the soil and drilled toward Mega Garchomp.

Cynthia said, "Fly up and dodge!"

"Garchomp!"

Mega Garchomp leaped, barely brushing past the crimson spiral drill. The latter missed a hit and dived into the ground again.

Cynthia continued to order, "We'll do it too! Dig!"

Mega Garchomp in mid-air twisted its body, also dug open the ground and quickly drilled into the ground, starting an underground chase with Mega Excadrill.

The underground space was narrow, and under their digging, many hollows soon appeared, and the muffled sound of rocks cracking came from underground continuously.

Finally, with a boom.

The entire venue sank like a collapsed building, changing from the flat venue at the beginning to a special venue with many high and low places like a valley.

Once these drills are assembled, they are bigger than its actual body; it looks top-heavy.

He could only say it was designed very well, don't design it again next time.

So, how is Mega Excadrill's strength, and does its Ability have any changes?

This is a point worth looking forward to.

Under his gaze, Cynthia gave the command first: "No matter what, Aura Sphere!"

"Togekiss!"

Togekiss rapidly condensed a huge, deep blue ball of light, causing it to rush toward Mega Excadrill while rotating.

Iris said confidently: "Let Miss Cynthia see our power! Spin it up! Smart Strike!!"

"Excadrill!!"

Mega Excadrill transformed itself into a huge crimson drill as if a robot were combining, and facing the incoming Aura Sphere, it directly rotated at high speed and lunged forward!

Hum!!

Its rotation speed was several times higher than before, and the air emitted a sharp hissing sound because of it, rising from the ground like an impact drill, tearing apart the type-disadvantaged Aura Sphere in the blink of an eye!

So easy! So simple!

"Dodge!"

Cynthia shouted, and Togekiss dodged to the side before she even gave the order, but it was still drilled in the wing by Mega Excadrill, which had a fierce momentum and extreme speed.

Bang!

Silver light exploded.

Amidst the explosion, Togekiss let out a cry of pain, and its figure fell from the sky.

Mega Excadrill passed through and landed not far away, but it did not disengage its drill form, instead drilling directly into the ground.

The entire arena began to tremble violently; Cynthia had no way to observe the opponent's location through the source of the tremors.

Her eyes moved slightly, her right hand gripped the Poké Ball, and her thoughts flew by in an instant.

In the end, the idea of switching turned into a command to attack.

"Fly up! Use Fire Blast as soon as it appears!"

"Togekiss!"

Togekiss responded, flew up again, and reached a high altitude, but the moment it left the ground, Mega Excadrill had already drilled through the ground and was flying toward it.

It spat a fireball at it without hesitation; after the fireball flew out, it exploded immediately, turning into a huge character for "fire."

However.

The surging flames, facing this drill rushing straight into the sky, failed to defeat it in the slightest; instead, it was easily drilled apart!

This Excadrill, compared to the one that was suppressed earlier, is simply like two different Pokémon!

Cynthia shouted: "Protect!"

The pale blue protective barrier appeared again, firmly guarding Togekiss high in the sky.

Facing the shield that had once blocked Smart Strike, Iris did not hesitate at all this time, her voice resounding throughout the arena: "Go! Our drill is one that can pierce the heavens! Horn Drill!"

Horn Drill!?

Cynthia's face showed astonishment, and then she heard a roar from the giant drill; milky-white energy gathered on the spiral drill, continuing to lunge straight at Togekiss's Protect barrier with an unstoppable momentum.

In this instant.

A situation that made everyone unable to believe it happened.

No stalemate, no obstruction.

The high-speed rotating Horn Drill pierced through the pale blue spherical barrier as easily as piercing thin paper, and the spiral steel horn hit Togekiss, who was too late to dodge, with destructive piercing power.

The sound of energy shattering and the loud noise of the collision erupted simultaneously!

"Togekiss—"

Hum!!

Amidst the sharp whistling sound, Togekiss's wings were left in a mess by the rotational force of the Horn Drill, and its body was forced to be lifted to the arc-shaped steel pillar at the top, with sparks flying everywhere!

The host shouted: "Protect was torn to shreds! It seems it had no effect at all! Excadrill's drill broke through the barrier!"

Invisible Drill!?

All Baimu, in the preparation room, had his eyelids twitch again and again; seeing the huge crimson drill falling along with Togekiss, he patted his thigh and said: "Damn! How can there be such a cool Pokémon!"

Diantha: "…"

An Xin'er: "…"

Sometimes they really don't understand this person; can't he change his face any faster?

However, they were also shocked by Mega Excadrill's performance; it was actually able to easily turn the tide.

Diantha sighed: "If it could have been exposed a little later…"

"Maybe she would have lost."

All Baimu interrupted the words of this defeated Champion.

She was thinking about revealing her trump card later; who knows, she might have been able to catch Cynthia's third Pokémon off guard just like this.

But honestly, if Iris kept holding back Mega Evolution, it would have been easy for her not to even see Cynthia's third Pokémon.

Diantha smiled helplessly: "That's true."

Bang bang!

The two Pokémon landed one after another; Mega Excadrill disengaged its giant drill form and looked at the existence not far away that had already fainted.

【Horn Drill】, a Normal-type one-hit KO move; as long as the energy level is higher than the opponent's, there is a possibility of it taking effect!

Deng Pei entered the arena, confirmed Togekiss's status, raised his right hand, and shouted: "Togekiss is unable to battle! Excadrill wins!"
