Chapter 978: Dragonslayer

Beside the shattered and sunken arena.

All Baimu and Long Ren shook hands in a friendly manner, and All Baimu asked out of the blue:

"That was a Tera Orb you took out earlier, right? Why didn't you use it?"

"Didn't have time, hehe..."

The boy was a bit embarrassed.

But this kind of thing couldn't be blamed on anyone else; he could only blame himself.

As for whether using the Tera Orb earlier would have changed the outcome of the match—

Long Ren rarely made such assumptions and was more keen on finding a way to win back next time.

He said: "Your Bastiodon must be a very high level! I can feel it! How do you usually train? Can you share it?"

All Baimu was thinking about how to borrow the Tera Orb to play with, and upon hearing this, he immediately said: "Come to Mt. Silver tomorrow to hang out, let's exchange insights."

Although the levels were basically all from the simulator's rewards, he'd trick him over first.

Long Ren's eyes shone, "Roar-ah roar-ah!"

"Then it's a deal!"

All Baimu smiled and let go of his hand, feeling quite strange in his heart.

Looking at it this way, this young man was quite normal in all aspects, and didn't have that faint "finally someone has defeated me" air of showing off.

Why did Manai come over out of the blue before the match to give him a warning?

Bad sibling relationship?

He didn't think deeply; this kind of side quest couldn't arouse his curiosity.

All Baimu hurried out of the player tunnel, waved to the enthusiastic audience, and led his followers to the arena where Wally and Shan Ren were competing.

The moment they arrived.

They happened to see Wally's Mega Gallade slash Shan Ren's Mega Alakazam away.

The latter's thin body fell outside the arena in a parabolic trajectory, struggled for a moment, and then didn't move.

"What's the situation?"

All Baimu asked one of Shan Ren's subordinates.

The man said with a mournful face: "Alakazam and the others were all Taunted, so many methods couldn't be used..."

Ah, this.

All Baimu twitched the corner of his mouth.

For a Trainer like Shan Ren who mainly relies on status moves, Taunt is indeed a natural counter.

Once hit, you can only wait for death; there's no lying about that.

Tetsuya lost because he didn't see through Shan Ren's essence, but thanks to him, Wally saw it clearly.

The green-haired prince, who had been longing to compete on the same stage as All Baimu, naturally wouldn't allow a similar scene to happen again, eliminating the possibility of a comeback from the root.

Sigh.

All Baimu shook his head and sighed.

Wally in the arena seemed to notice his gaze, clenched his fist from a distance of over a hundred meters, his face full of expectation and confidence.

Unexpectedly, this action drew screams from a large number of female spectators, and Wally was thrown into a panic.

"Heh! The green-haired prince is quite popular!"

All Baimu suddenly began to gloat.

Shan Ren's subordinate who had just replied also nodded seriously, "Yes, Mr. Wally's popularity is almost only second to yours, a bit higher than Mr. Lei Ou's."

So far, the popularity of each player has been specifically ranked in the tournament background.

Battlers certainly had many supporters within Orre, but it wasn't enough when put on the internet.

The strong and handsome All Baimu, Wally, and Lei Ou occupied the top three respectively.

After that were Shan Ren and Courtney; Battlers only ranked sixth, which shows that even in the Pokémon world, a pretty face is still a plus.

And Courtney, as the only female in the top sixteen, had a trend of popularity surpassing Shan Ren and Lei Ou.

It just depends on whether she can win this match.

"Are there results for Lei Ou and Courtney's match?" All Baimu asked the tournament staff directly, saving himself a wasted trip.

As expected.

After the person contacted the other side, they indicated that the match next door had long since ended.

"It was Mr. Lei Ou who won."

"Good."

All Baimu nodded, actually feeling a bit regretful in his heart; he really wanted to have another match with Courtney.

It's a pity that the competitiveness of the first Orre tournament was indeed a bit strong.

So much so that Trainers who could at least take a runner-up spot couldn't even make it into the top eight.

At the same moment.

Tabitha and the Magma Team members looked at Courtney, who was surrounded by low pressure, and were in a panic, not knowing how to comfort her.

At this time.

Maxie stepped forward solemnly, his stern gaze scaring many passersby.

But the scolding those people imagined didn't sound; he raised his right hand and placed it on Courtney's head, saying warmly: "It's okay, Courtney, you've worked very hard, the top sixteen is also very good."

"Boss... I... let you down."

Courtney's eyes were dim.

Maxie shook his head without hesitation, "Not at all! I have always been proud of you!"

"But... I couldn't... have a battle with All Baimu..."

Courtney's original intention for participating in the Orre tournament was, firstly, to make the Magma Team famous.

Secondly, to have another battle with All Baimu.

If she could lose to this person, she definitely wouldn't be so disappointed.

Maxie took the petite Courtney into his arms and said softly as if coaxing a daughter: "There will be a chance, don't worry."

Tabitha was full of gratification.

Others might think that the Magma Team had a bad reputation, but he always believed that the Magma Team was a warm big family.

Boss Maxie was like the sun, shining on each of them.

The second match of the afternoon.

It was also a highlight that had to be watched.

Battlers vs. Gladion, Director Zhengyi vs. Wu, and Liu Ge vs. Battle Mountain Trainer.

Choose one of three.

All Baimu chose to watch Wu's match.

Don't look at Gladion having Ultra Beasts and Mythical Pokémon; what deep connection do these two have with him?

Not to mention bonds, Magearna hadn't known him for more than a month, God knows how much strength it could exert.

It's enough to bully Cheng Hong, how could it beat Battlers.

It's not that he looks down on Ultra Beasts, but his buddy's match is more cost-effective.

"You three are the ghost cheerleading squad!"

All Baimu put simple cheerleader outfits on the Shiny Gengar and the Drakloak siblings, and smiled as he patted the former's belly.

The gray fatty chuckled, not feeling embarrassed in the slightest, and happily shook the ball-flower.

"Gengar~! Gengar~!"

"Xi-ya! Xi-ya!"

The Drakloak siblings danced along.

Lusamine hugged the three excitedly and said coquettishly: "So cute! Did you make them yourself?"

"That's for sure."

All Baimu's proud smile was like Gengar's.

A large amount of simulated memory allowed him to master many small skills.

Clothing production? A piece of cake!

Shan Ren on the side was ashamed.

He really hadn't seen any champion who loved dressing up Pokémon so much.

Diantha?

Hmm...

This one probably shouldn't count.

"Hey! Still sad? Our President is so fragile?"

All Baimu's sudden snap of his fingers interrupted Shan Ren's train of thought.

He rolled his eyes and said: "Keep talking nonsense, don't say I didn't warn you!"

Once this guy officially becomes champion, Shan Ren won't have to be careful and afraid that he'll suddenly fly away.

At that time, he'll definitely have to give him a good pinch!

All Baimu felt a sudden chill, looked at his friend whose face was full of "you just wait," and said hurriedly: "Isn't this a joke! You! Always threatening people!"

Although Shan Ren felt that the match results wouldn't affect his plans.

But when he really lost, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and when he walked out of the player tunnel, he was dim.

Because there were many media outside.

As the president-to-be, he had to show his stature, so he quickly adjusted his state.

All Baimu knew that Shan Ren hadn't recovered, so he took the initiative to provoke him.

Unexpectedly, he brought fire upon himself.

He looked at the arena indignantly.

It just so happened that Wu and Director Zhengyi's match started.

In the Grass arena, Tyranitar and Flygon were sent out respectively.

Director Zhengyi, as expected, took the sandstorm weather route.

And Wu, considering this, sent Flygon first to deal with the sandstorm.

But what's interesting is.

Director Zhengyi let Tyranitar set up Stealth Rock and then quickly swapped it out.

Flygon wanted to get close and use brute force, but didn't find a chance at all.

Replacing it was Gliscor.

The 【Sand Veil】 ability made this Pokémon's figure elusive, appearing and disappearing in the flying sandstorm.

Wu didn't panic, letting Flygon use Dragon Dance to speed up, waiting for the opponent to come to the door.

Sure enough.

Seeing Flygon speed up, Director Zhengyi couldn't sit still on his side, letting Gliscor sneak attack from behind with Ice Fang.

Wu was prepared, peeking at Gliscor's trail at the first moment.

Flygon quickly moved away and turned around to hit a Dragon Pulse!

It didn't hit.

Gliscor dodged very quickly.

One attack missed, but Director Zhengyi calmed down instead, using Agility to speed up and then Swords Dance to increase attack.

Wu was also not idle.

The two Pokémon seemed to have entered an arms race, you use buff moves, I also use buff moves, just seeing who can sit still!

But just when Wu thought both sides were about to fight.

Director Zhengyi suddenly used 【Baton Pass】!

Gliscor left the field, and the one swapped in was actually an Azumarill, which flew toward Flygon with Aqua Jet!

Flygon wanted to dodge, but was stuck firmly by it.

Wu ordered it to turn its head and use Boomburst, trying to shake off this Pokémon that was like a flying missile.

As a result, it gave Azumarill a chance to use 【Play Rough】.

With the Huge Power ability and multiple buffs to physical attack, Azumarill directly pierced through Boomburst, knocking Flygon from the sky to the ground.

A wave directly took it away!

"Tsk tsk tsk, Dragonslayer Azumarill, huh."

All Baimu saw this scene and couldn't help but think of a web image he had seen in his previous life.

In it, Azumarill was full of muscles, with a pile of Dragon-type Pokémon fallen around it, holding Dragonite in its hand, claiming "None of the Dragon clan can fight."

It was fierce.

Although its fame is basically blown out of proportion and there are other Pokémon better suited to be dragon slayers, if you give Azumarill the chance to attack, it does indeed hit quite hard.

Wu was also stunned.

Fortunately, he wasn't without a way to deal with this almost fully buffed Azumarill.

Dragonite appeared, hit by the explosion of Stealth Rock.

But when the Azumarill on the opposite side rushed over with Play Rough, it spat out a large group of 【Haze】 in time.

In an instant.

The state buffs Azumarill inherited from Gliscor disappeared.

Director Zhengyi saw this and decisively swapped it out, sending Gliscor out again.

At the same time, Wu let Dragonite use Rain Dance.

Successfully swapped out the sandstorm weather.

Flygon was gone, continuing to let the sandstorm exist was torture for his side.

The Sand Veil ability was no longer triggered, and Gliscor's figure became obvious.

Director Zhengyi swapped again.

He sent Tyranitar out again, intending to grab the weather with Dragonite, and even directly opened Mega Evolution.

The style of the Mega Evolution wave was slightly peculiar.

But most of the audience was no longer unfamiliar with it, as the Orre tournament had already popularized the existence of Mega Evolution waves in advance.

However.

Although it belonged to a slightly inferior Mega Evolution, it was still Mega Evolution.

Dragonite's Rain Dance couldn't grab the weather from Mega Tyranitar's Sand Stream ability at all.

In desperation.

Wu had to let Dragonite start fighting like this.

Mega Tyranitar threw Stone Edge wildly as if it didn't cost money, regardless of whether it could hit or not.

Dragonite used Twister from a distance to kite, looking for a chance to get close.

Both sides fell into a stalemate.

Until Wu suddenly let Dragonite use Extreme Speed, in a magical posture, as if using Observation Haki, dodging flying stones wildly, and quickly approaching Mega Tyranitar.

It turned out that Wu saw through the flight trajectory of Stone Edge.

Pokémon often have their habits when using moves, and he was using exactly that.

But when Dragonite swung that fierce Superpower at Mega Tyranitar.

Who would have thought the latter would carry it.

Not only carried it, but even hit back with Avalanche at the fastest speed!

Double the power after being attacked by the opponent!

Dragonite had already taken the damage of Stealth Rock, plus the sandstorm was raging, and it collapsed instantly.

"This guy... was intentional."

All Baimu narrowed his eyes and looked at Director Zhengyi.

He hadn't battled the other party once or twice, and knew very well that this person whose name was a homophone for justice was actually very calculating.

Including the first time they battled.

Director Zhengyi's Cacturne had suddenly shattered Blissey's Telekinesis.

If Blissey hadn't been strong, he would have been turned over by that guy.

Shan Ren said: "Gym Leader Director Zhengyi has been studying hard since he lost to you, don't look down on him."

"Me? How is that possible?"

All Baimu waved his hand and said to Gengar and the Drakloak siblings: "Keep working hard! Wu hasn't lost yet!"

"Gengar..."

"Xi-ya..."

The three of them didn't seem very happy.

That was indeed true, but in their view, Wu, who only had one Pokémon left, was indeed very difficult to turn over.

After all, when the opponents they encountered in the past only had one Pokémon left, there had never been a case of a comeback.

Unless—

"Guillotine strikes! Mega Tyranitar encounters a one-hit KO! The Haxorus that reverses the situation!"

The commentator shouted.

The audience cheered excitedly.

Just because just now, after Wu sent out Haxorus, he used Guillotine on Mega Tyranitar without saying a word.

One hit and it's done!

"Look, now it's one-on-two." All Baimu said with a smile to Gengar and the Drakloak siblings.

The three ghosts quickly became excited.

Wu's Haxorus was his starter and trump card Pokémon, and its level was very high.

And Tyranitar was cultivated by Director Zhengyi later.

Strong is strong, but not enough to crush Haxorus.

Gliscor appeared again.

Sand Veil took effect, hiding its tracks.

Wu ordered Haxorus to focus energy, while he himself observed the situation around, and the moment Gliscor appeared, he ordered it to turn around and attack!

Dragon Claw!

The claws wrapped in dragon flames intertwined with the cold air emitted by Gliscor, and soon a layer of frost formed on Haxorus's claws.

But it had a tail even if it didn't have claws!

Haxorus swung its tail suddenly, hitting Gliscor away with one Dragon Tail.

It also successfully made it leave the field.

Azumarill appeared.

It seemed that it had a Fairy type advantage, but in the sandstorm weather, it might not be able to exert the effect that the Fairy type should have.

Haxorus rushed up and wanted to use Poison Jab on it.

But at this time.

Director Zhengyi smiled.

"Misty Explosion."

Four words were spoken, followed by Azumarill turning into a pink light bomb.

He was actually hiding this hand!

Dragonslayer! Successfully took two heads! ===== CHAPTER 979 =====
