Chapter 1447: Strong Dragon Falls

The pink-purple mist slowly dissipated.

After the successive fierce battles between the two Pokémon and the explosion that just scraped the ground three feet deep, Misty Terrain was finally exhausted.

It was a pity that Ash and Sirfetch'd hadn't achieved the desired result.

Not to mention the two at the center of the battle, even many in the audience felt a sense of near-despair.

Losing one-on-one in the semifinals was certainly frustrating, but in terms of psychological pressure, how could it compare to what was before them.

Three Pokémon fought in succession; Dracovish, Gengar, and Sirfetch'd all tried their best, but that evil dragon in the distance still refused to fall, its endurance exaggerated to the point of being a bottomless pit.

Ash said in a low voice: "Can you still do it? Sirfetch'd?"

"—Ga!"

Sirfetch'd lifted its spirits and pulled the leek sword that had been inserted into the ground back up.

Although covered in dust and with stamina near the limit, its eyes were still bright, its fighting spirit high when raising the sword, and its strides large when moving forward.

Like a Don Quixote knight preparing to charge at a windmill evil dragon.

The negative effect of the paralysis of Meteor Assault didn't seem to have a significant effect on it, and it could launch a fierce attack at any time.

And when it and Ash looked at the opposite side, the situation there was also unsurprising.

"Hydreigon used Roost again!"

The host's shout echoed over the arena, and many in the audience broke into a cold sweat.

No.

You're still going to fight?

If the audience's impression of All Baimu before was that he switched too frequently, then the current impression had undoubtedly changed to—do you not have a switch button?

Of course, it wasn't that everyone had any opinion on All Baimu not switching; there were many Trainers around the world who weren't good at switching, it was just a sigh that Hydreigon still had to continue fighting after successive battles.

Going from one extreme to another, it achieved a scene comparable to a major reversal.

On the field.

Ash naturally couldn't let Hydreigon continue to recover.

"Charge! Fury Cutter!"

"Ga!"

Sirfetch'd accelerated suddenly, the leek sword glowing with emerald-green light, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Hydreigon, closing the distance between them.

Its broad wings flipped at high speed, and the wing roots exerted force flexibly, bringing sword techniques to the limit.

Swish, swish, swish!

Emerald-green sword shadows formed layer upon layer in front of it, airtight, and the sharp slashing offensive was continuous!

Sirfetch'd's performance was still excellent.

Hydreigon's response hadn't changed at all, and the glowing blue light shield protected its body.

Thud, thud, thud!

The light shield seemed indestructible, not shaken by Sirfetch'd's Fury Cutter at all.

But this time, it didn't climb higher to pull away the distance again.

Misty Terrain had already disappeared.

Nothing could stop it anymore!

"Fury Cutter!"

"Bite that sword!"

Ash and All Baimu's commands sounded simultaneously. Amidst the gasps of the audience, when the Protect light shield faded, the massive Hydreigon didn't retreat but advanced, and two of its side heads reached forward fiercely like snakes spitting letters!

"Ga!?"

Sirfetch'd, which was retreating and swinging its sword with all its might, looked astonished, only because the hilt and the spine of the leek sword were bitten fiercely by Hydreigon, and an indescribable giant force restrained its performance!

The emerald sword glow was exceptionally bright, but it couldn't be applied to Hydreigon.

A strong ominous premonition brewed in its heart.

The next instant.

It only felt empty beneath its feet, and sure enough, its body and the leek sword were brought into the air together, forcibly leaving the ground!

Ash's pupils shrank: "Sirfetch'd!!"

The host shouted loudly: "Hydreigon controlled Sirfetch'd's sword! Fury Cutter can't be used! It was brought into the sky!"

This situation was something many hadn't expected.

Hydreigon actually dared to actively bite Sirfetch'd's sword. One had to know that Fury Cutter was a move that became more powerful the more times it attacked.

It not only dared to bite, but also succeeded.

"Because Sirfetch'd's attack power has weakened."

Diantha explained the reason to her daughter, "All Baimu tested it out through Protect."

An Xiner suddenly realized.

With the power of Protect, All Baimu and Hydreigon both saw through Sirfetch'd's current weakness. Although its fighting spirit was still high, the injuries brought by the clash still had a huge impact on it.

"Sirfetch'd gambled everything on the Meteor Assault just now." Nemona shook her head regretfully.

Intense fatigue dulled its strength. Sirfetch'd was fine if it didn't attack, but once it did, it immediately exposed its weak nature.

The outcome could be seen.

Everyone looked into the air on the field. Sirfetch'd, whose leek sword was bitten, had pupils shaking violently, and the tip of its nose could smell the terrifying scent of dragon flames.

"Drop the sword! Sirfetch'd! Find the shield!"

Ash's voice came.

But it was too late. If it could have given up the sword earlier, perhaps it could have relied on picking up the shield in time and used Detect to dodge Hydreigon's attack.

It's just a pity that when battling All Baimu, opportunities pass in a flash.

If you can't grasp it, you really can't grasp it.

"Dragon Rush."

"Sha-sang!!"

Hydreigon roared angrily, and the burning dragon flames instantly covered its whole body, forming a fire dragon with ferocious flames!

Whoosh!

The azure flames released terrifying high temperatures, and the surrounding air trembled and distorted like ripples.

And Sirfetch'd, after letting go of the leek sword, quickly flew toward the leek shield scattered on the other side, its eyes full of urgency.

Its eyes glowed blue rapidly, and Detect was activating.

But just as said before, everything was too late. The flaming giant dragon roared and fell from high altitude, its huge wings of fire flapping and turning, and the broad shadow sprinkled on the arena, terrifying as if it were blocking out the sun.

Roar—!!

An unknown roar came from the air, and then the violent dragon flames tilted down fiercely, sweeping Sirfetch'd's whole body.

Unable to resist, it instantly disappeared into the flames that rose into the sky!

Boom!!

The deafening explosion and the mighty shockwave ravaged the entire arena, and the flames mixed with smoke rose high!

Many in the audience were stunned.

There was no harm without comparison. Hydreigon could still release such a terrifying move, and its stamina could still be restored by Roost. Did its type energy have no end, was it a bottomless pit?

The host shouted: "Dragon Rush hit! As always, full of momentum! This is All Baimu's Hydreigon!"

He was also convinced by Hydreigon.

A while later.

The smoke and dust dissipated.

The sufficiently clear picture inside was presented to everyone's eyes—

Sirfetch'd held the leek shield, lying on its back in the pit, its eyes showing black circles, having lost consciousness.

Wow!

The audience was noisy.

Everyone thought Sirfetch'd had been hit in the back, but it not only got the leek shield, but also blocked it in front?

This scene made everyone feel even more sorry for Sirfetch'd.

Deng Pei entered the field to declare: "Sirfetch'd is unable to battle, Hydreigon wins!"

Three wins in three battles, unstoppable!

"Roar!!"

Hydreigon roared at the sky, the roar spreading through the entire arena. The winner's momentum formed a powerful sense of oppression, causing the discussion in the audience to shrink rapidly.

Then, as the roar subsided, it turned into even louder cheers!

"Well done, Hydreigon!"

"Too amazing!"

"Long Wang!"

Even Iris, who was on Ash's side, couldn't help but cheer for Hydreigon, the Long Wang from the Village of Dragons.

The People of the Meteor were also shouting, excited to the extreme.

This was the glorious moment for a Dragon Tamer!

In the lounge, many Champions also had different expressions. Cynthia turned her head to ask Leon: "If it were your Pokémon, could you do this?"

"As for that... I'd have to battle it to know."

Leon responded with a chuckle.

Lance was slightly restless. He was also a Dragon Tamer, so how could he not look at a powerful Dragon-type Pokémon differently?

The key was, he also had a Hydreigon!

If it could be cultivated to this point in the future...

Lance was very much looking forward to it.

He didn't think he couldn't do it. As a Champion of two regions with years of accumulation, his confidence wouldn't be affected by a few defeats.

While there was much discussion, the noise rose again.

Just because All Baimu made a move—

He recalled Hydreigon into its Poké Ball.

"All Baimu swapped out Hydreigon? Is Hydreigon already at its limit?" The host's voice also sounded at the right time.

Not to mention the Masters Eight, most other matches rarely had situations where a contestant recalling a Pokémon caused widespread discussion.

All Baimu had successfully achieved it.

Ash recalled the fainted Sirfetch'd, and while comforting it in a low voice, he couldn't help but look at the opposite side.

"Swapped? What will the next Pokémon be?"

Invisible pressure made his back completely wet.

It wasn't the first time Ash had battled All Baimu, but the pressure this time was undoubtedly the greatest. The combat power displayed by Hydreigon made his heart deeply shaken.

Three against one was already like this, and Leon's six-on-one in the semifinals...

He shook his head violently, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind. The most important thing right now was to think about the next Pokémon to send out.

"... Sure enough, I should leave it to you."

Ash rubbed a Poké Ball, and after a short thought, he threw it forward violently, "I'll leave it to you! Dragonite!"

Bang!

Light flashed.

"Oh!"

The gentle and resilient Dragonite entered the field!

Dragonite was certainly not the strongest Pokémon in the team, but its emotions were the most stable, and it could exert 100% of its power no matter what the situation.

Ash trusted it very much. Facing the choice of the opponent that he didn't know, choosing Dragonite was absolutely not wrong.

At the same time, he also saw the Pokémon All Baimu sent out on the opposite side—

Bang!

"Qi-duo~"

The small but fierce-aura Mawile landed steadily on the shattered flat ground, calmly accepting the gazes from all directions.

And the cheers and shouts that were almost about to break through the clouds!

"My Lady!"

"My Lady! My Lady!"

Mawile's popularity had refreshed the record again. The live broadcasts from the night before and yesterday had gained it countless fans, and its follower count was second only to All Baimu's own account, which was simply jaw-dropping.

Of course, this had to be attributed to the tireless promotion of the fan club. Old fans led by Bei Lingyin kept Mawile's live broadcast room at the top of the donation list for ten hours even after Mawile stopped broadcasting!

Successfully setting one record after another!

Mawile's high popularity could be said to be unique in the world.

Although everything was born by chance, it, which had once been lonely and rejected, had become an object loved and admired by countless people.

It wasn't until half a minute later that the cheers from the audience gradually weakened.

The host said: "Ash's fourth Pokémon Dragonite encountered All Baimu's second Pokémon Mawile. Will he switch Pokémon?"

How could Ash do that?

Even though Dragon-type moves are ineffective against Fairy-types, he still wants to let Dragonite battle Mawile, bringing out his most proficient type-disadvantage battle style!

"Dragon Dance!"

"Swords Dance."

Both sides issued orders at the same time again.

The Pokémon on both sides acted one after another. Dragonite flapped its wings, and while making a low moan, its body flipped in mid-air. Azure airflow surged crazily, flowing through its limbs, wings, and antennae to its whole body, constantly improving its Attack ability.

When the orange-yellow light lit up, its massive body erupted with a sense of power.

"Oh oh!!"

Not far from it, Mawile stepped on the rubble and swayed its figure, moving lightly and rotating, like a happy elf.

Glowing white light swords appeared around its body, dancing with its movements, either opening, closing, or rotating together.

Even if the environment wasn't very beautiful, its unique dance steps still attracted countless gazes.

The dance foundation accumulated over the years was naturally not for show.

The cheerleaders of the Mawile fan club danced excitedly together, cheering for Mawile dancing below.

Orange light appeared, Mawile's closed eyes opened slightly, and the eyes looking at Dragonite were full of the sharpness of a martial artist. The light swords floating around its body seemed to be about to rush toward Dragonite in the sky at its command!

Fortunately, this move didn't happen.

Ash waited for Dragon Dance to end and issued an order quickly: "Fire Punch!"

"Oh!"

Dragonite flapped its wings downward fiercely, and its massive body actively launched a charge at Mawile, its thick claws wrapped in instantly burning flames!

This was a move it had learned from Iris's Dragonite. Ever since battling it, it had been constantly absorbing the experience of its kind, trying to turn it into its own nourishment.

It's a pity that it seemed to have learned it wrong; it should have been Thunder Punch, but it learned Fire Punch.

Unexpectedly, it hit the mark at this moment. Facing Mawile, which was Steel and Fairy-type, Fire Punch was undoubtedly much more suitable than Thunder Punch!

All Baimu: "Iron Defense."

"Qi-duo."

Mawile didn't dodge or evade, its head swung, making the giant jaws behind its head block in front of it, metallic light flashing on the surface, like an indestructible steel wall.

Bang—!!

The crimson flames collided with the metallic giant jaws suddenly, like a cannon meeting the frontal armor of a tank. The deafening metallic collision sound shook the arena, and the violently exploding flames erupted crazily at the position where the two touched!

Host: "Fire Punch hit! A type-effective strike! Can it be effective?"

Dragonite quickly withdrew from the mixture of flames and smoke, looking at its fist with a solemn expression.

Its Fire Punch just now hit solidly, but...

The opponent didn't move?

Clearly such a heavy blow, but it was like hitting a steel wall, the opponent didn't move at all!

Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, Mawile, which remained in place, came into everyone's view.

There were some traces of flame burns on the surface of its giant jaws, but that was all.

"Indestructible defense! Mawile easily blocked Dragonite's Fire Punch!" The host's shout brought an uproar from the audience! ===== CHAPTER 1448 =====
