Chapter 983

Lei Ou's heart churned for a while.

"Meditate!"

"Umbre!"

Umbreon responded, its ears erect and the gold rings glowing.

It seemed to be repeating the boosting process from the first half, carrying the simple and crude Baton Pass team to the end.

Lei Ou was certain.

If All Baimu really wanted a one-on-one, then no matter how convoluted the process, he would definitely be able to find an opportunity to counterattack.

As for the source of his confidence...

It can only be said that while the three Pokémon from the first half had been carefully nurtured, in times of crisis, the ones he could think of were always Umbreon and Espeon.

They were the ones who gave him the confidence to betray the Cipher team.

Not far away.

"Dra-pult~"

Dragapult leaned back and flew into the sky, flicking its translucent long tail like a swimming fish.

Lei Ou looked up, and the scene of this guy deceiving him in the first half appeared in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, it should be invisibility.

It was different from the peculiar methods of Super Gengar.

Just as he felt settled in his heart, Dragapult, high in the sky, suddenly lowered its head and spat out a dark purple energy orb.

"Draco Meteor."

Bang!

The orb exploded with a roar.

Dozens of glowing meteor projectiles shrieked as they plummeted!

Chirp—!!

But surprisingly, Dragapult's main body was also spinning, flying down at high speed as if dancing with the projectiles.

They were side by side!

"Dragapult joining the Draco Meteor? What kind of tactic is this?"

The commentator widened his eyes.

The audience was also unable to understand, until Dragapult dissipated into the projectiles.

Gone!?

Some people began to feel their scalps tingle.

They realized that if Umbreon were to be interfered with by the invisible Dragapult while dodging...

"Substitute!"

Lei Ou ordered calmly.

Umbreon shook its body, turning from one into two, nimbly running in different directions across the grassland.

Bang bang bang!

The meteor projectiles plummeted, constantly blowing up large patches of mud and grass.

The two Umbreons wove through the smoke, both dodging extremely nimbly, and showed no wavering when hit by the mud.

It made it impossible for people to figure out which one was the real body.

The commentator said excitedly: "A Substitute that passes for the real thing! Umbreon is using one mind for two tasks to confuse the vision!"

A Substitute requires the main body to control it, and being able to use it to this extent is indeed very worthy of praise.

Even All Baimu couldn't distinguish the real body in a short time.

Of course.

It didn't matter if he could distinguish it or not.

"Dragon Darts."

Just hit both of them and he'd know!

Dragapult appeared, and the ends of its head-mounted launch ports ignited with raging flames!

"Dra-pult!"

Bang bang!

Deep blue dragon flames erupted!

The Dreepy missiles shot out of the ports, rushing forward at an exaggerated speed invisible to the naked eye, the air shrieking incessantly!

"Hee-yah—"

"Hee-yah—"

The dragon-flame-wreathed Dreepy siblings rushed toward the two Umbreons, one on the left and one on the right.

Having battled Porygon2 for a long time, they knew very well how to confirm when a Substitute's appearance could pass for the real thing—

Texture!

Because a Substitute is composed of energy, the tactile sensation when colliding with it is different from the real body!

And while Dragapult was firing the Dragon Darts, Lei Ou didn't just watch, but quickly waved his hand and shouted:

"Regroup!"

As long as the Umbreons huddled together, they could still create a confusing effect.

Even if that didn't work, they could act as meat shields.

However.

The flight speed of the Dragon Darts in front of him was faster than in All Baimu's battle data!

The Umbreons had only moved a short distance toward each other when they were caught up by the Dreepy missiles!

Bang!

Bang!

Two dull explosions followed one after another.

The two Dreepy flew back out of the smoke, and the older sister among them raised her claws and shouted.

"Hee-yah—!!"

"That's it, Dragon Rush."

"Dra-pult~"

Dragapult narrowed its eyes, its whole body ignited with dragon flames, turning into a flying dragon, and rushed toward the Umbreon on the left!

Boom!

The sound of a bomber crossing the border echoed in the arena!

The commentator screamed: "Dragon Darts hit! Dreepy seems to have found Umbreon's real body!"

The audience held their breath, watching Dragapult fly in at high speed!

But.

Another figure was not slow either.

Seeing through the smoke, the fake body flew horizontally, crashing straight into the dragon-flame-wreathed Dragapult!

Slap!

The fake body exploded like a balloon.

It could be seen that it wanted to block Dragapult's attack, but because it wasn't fast enough, it could only crash into the side.

It caused a momentary stiffness for Dragapult.

But it was a crucial moment of stiffness!

Lei Ou smiled insidiously: "Caught you. Sucker Punch!"

"Umbre!"

Umbreon's real body broke through the smoke, jumping with an eerie speed to avoid the Dragon Rush.

Then it circled and plummeted toward Dragapult's back!

Striking first by striking later!

【Sucker Punch】!

Thud!

Dragapult was like being struck by an axe falling from the sky, its front and back bodies nearly folded in half, and it smashed heavily into the ground!

"Dra-pult!"

It groaned in pain.

The commentator shouted hoarsely: "Sucker Punch hit! The Dark-type attack is very effective! It seemed Umbreon's real body was discovered! In reality, it was Dragapult that got caught!"

In an instant.

The audience erupted in loud cheers!

A few minutes into the second half, the situation changed!

"Umbreon's movements are still so flexible! It seems the damage from the Dragon Darts didn't cause it any trouble!"

Amidst the commentator's incessant words, Lei Ou continued to order to press the attack.

"Foul Play! Don't let it run!"

Having finally waited for Dragapult to get close to Umbreon, how could he let go of such a wonderful opportunity!

Red light lit up between Umbreon's claws, and it pounced toward Dragapult, which was about to move!

Foul Play—

It hit, but not completely.

Just because Dragapult suddenly turned into a brilliant white light, rushing straight into the sky at an exaggerated speed!

Hum!

Umbreon was blown away by the strong wind, rolling half a circle in the air before landing safely.

The commentator exclaimed: "Such fast speed! Dragapult dodged the fatal blow of Foul Play!"

Umbreon raised its blood-colored eyes, staring straight at the Dragapult high above with a bitter expression.

"Dark Pulse!"

"Umbre!"

Black light gathered in its mouth, and countless pitch-black beams composed of rings shot out!

It's just a pity.

When the two sides opened up the distance.

It was very difficult for Umbreon to hit the elusive Dragapult.

The latter disappeared into the air.

Lei Ou frowned; this speed was not inferior to Togekiss's Extreme Speed.

White light...

Quick Attack?

The key is, after taking a Sucker Punch, Dragapult could actually maintain its state?

If he remembered correctly.

The opponent was not a Pokémon with outstanding durability...

What a pity.

Lei Ou felt a bit regretful; he had wanted to take down one or two before the "protagonist" appeared.

He took out a Poké Ball and said:

"As expected, I'll leave it to you! Old friend! Baton Pass!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the rhythm hadn't been snatched away by All Baimu!

Not far away.

All Baimu found Dragapult in its invisible state and cast a look signaling it to stay calm.

Suddenly, a special feeling welled up in his heart.

He first looked behind him, found nothing unusual, and then quickly looked at Lei Ou opposite him.

He saw Umbreon leaving the field via Baton Pass.

Raging flames erupted from the Poké Ball in Lei Ou's hand!

The next second.

Causing the entire main venue.

No.

The roar of a lion that shook the entire Battle Mountain exploded with a bang!

"Roar—!!"

A giant lion appeared, its whole body wreathed in raging flames, its orange-red fur flying like a lion's mane, carrying gray-white smoke clouds on its back, with a red hexagram and golden clover on its face!

Countless audience members stood up suddenly, looking at this Pokémon in shock and frenzy.

"Entei! It's Entei!"

"The legendary Entei!"

The commentator's voice even cracked on the spot, "Trainer Lei Ou's fifth Pokémon! Entei appears!! I can't believe it!!"

Without a doubt.

The one appearing in the arena was none other than one of the members of the legendary Legendary Beasts, the Volcano Pokémon Entei!

Not to mention the audience present, even All Baimu was distracted for a moment.

"To think he could summon Entei..."

He suddenly realized something, looked behind him again, and suddenly spotted a hiding yellow figure from the top of the venue.

All Baimu smiled.

"Haha! Hahahaha!"

Interesting!

Too interesting!

He didn't expect to meet again at such a moment, in such a place!

Although in the data on Lei Ou that Shan Ren shared with him, it was recorded that the latter had snatched back the shadow-fied Legendary Beasts from the Cipher team and used their power to defeat Evice.

But after that, the Legendary Beasts left and never helped Lei Ou again.

Who would have thought.

The friendship between the opponent and the Legendary Beasts was so profound that Entei was willing to appear to help in the battle.

However.

All Baimu didn't care whether Lei Ou sent out a legendary Pokémon or not; he was just unprecedentedly happy to be able to see Raikou again!

He laughed out loud: "Good! Good! Dragapult, return—"

In the distance.

Lei Ou shouted quickly: "Don't give him a chance to switch! Eruption!"

"Roar!!"

Entei roared!

A circle of flames suddenly swung out from its body, the smoke clouds on its back expanded instantly, and rose up with a bang!

Boom!!

A pillar of fire reaching the sky covered the entire venue!

Countless lava plummeted crazily, like the end of the world, shrouding the entire field!

Even Battle Mountain seemed to be responding to Entei's roar, with magma churning incessantly!

The opponent made a move, All Baimu couldn't switch.

He could only let Dragapult use Quick Attack to dodge.

Fortunately, it was used to dodging Hydreigon's multi-headed Draco Meteor, so it wasn't afraid of being hit.

It was just that the heat wave rushing toward it actually possessed a certain degree of damage, making it quickly feel fatigued.

Backstage of the organizers.

Team Magma technicians ran back and forth, operating machines to suppress and consume the magma about to erupt.

Lei Ou really pulled off a big stunt.

If Battle Mountain erupted, the fifty thousand people present would all ascend to heaven without exception!

The physical kind!

Fortunately, Magma technology and Orre technology were powerful enough to convert all the magma into energy and continuously transport it down the mountain.

This prevented Battle Mountain from erupting.

But even so, the audience present could still feel the ground trembling at a high frequency, and even the protective devices were activated.

"Entei! So strong!"

"Is this the strength of the Legendary Beasts? Just the aftermath can trigger the protective devices!"

They didn't notice the real reason for the device triggering at all.

Inside the arena.

All Baimu relied on his specially made lava suit to barely withstand the heat wave.

Compared to the three Legendary Titans that had slept for millions of years.

Entei was clearly more battle-hardened, to the point where it was much stronger in all aspects.

And Dragapult currently battling the three Legendary Titans still couldn't say it would win every battle...

All Baimu held the Poké Ball, watching the erupting lava mostly locked onto the half of the field where he was.

"Since that's the case."

All Baimu shouted over the rumbling in the arena: "Agility!"

"Dra-pult!"

Dragapult responded, its speed becoming even more nimble, almost like an elusive afterimage.

But it seemed it couldn't escape Entei's eyes.

The opponent's dynamic vision firmly locked onto the moving Dragapult, the moment the opponent approached.

"Extreme Speed!"

"Roar!"

Entei jumped up suddenly, its whole body wreathed in white light, just like a cat catching a passing bird, slapping it down from the air with its paw!

Bang!

Dragapult plummeted with a hiss.

Although it didn't take damage from elemental energy, it was still pulled down by the heat-rising claws!

The commentator shouted: "Dragapult was knocked down! Such fast speed from Entei!"

The audience cheered incessantly, waving flags and shouting for Entei.

The moment it appeared, all the neutral audience stood firmly on Lei Ou's side.

The charm of the Legendary Beasts in the anime is second only to their master Ho-Oh, far surpassing other legendary Pokémon, and they are welcomed all over the world.

Think about it from another angle.

This actually has a certain connection to them running around the world.

Like a small place like Orre.

Who would have thought they were once captured and shadow-fied?

Fortunately, it was only the first generation of modification technology, and the altar in the Sacred Forest was enough to purify them, so they didn't suffer like Lugia.

"Flamethrower! Take it down in one go!"

Lei Ou ordered again.

Entei stepped on Dragapult's body, accumulating crimson flames in its mouth.

Just at this moment.

A glowing green tail suddenly whipped against Entei's lower abdomen!

Bang!

"Roar—"

The flames left its mouth.

A suction force turned it into red light, flying back into the Poké Ball at Lei Ou's waist.

"Entei! Entei was hit by Dragon Tail! Forced back into the Poké Ball!" the commentator shouted in surprise.

Lei Ou looked at the Poké Ball flying back and out at his waist, and also realized that Dragapult had actively approached Entei.

Just to hit Dragon Tail!

"Umbre..."

Umbreon landed, looking at the slowly disappearing Dragapult, its expression somewhat unhappy.

It really didn't want to battle opponents that were too fast.

The audience seats were filled with wails.

Why did Entei just come out and go back in?

It's not satisfying!

All Baimu wiped away non-existent cold sweat, "To think it has Extreme Speed, which generation of Entei are you, scaring people to death."

When Dragapult was knocked down, his heart nearly jumped out.

Who would have thought that Entei, which only knew how to roar and spit fire in the anime, would actually know a tricky move like Extreme Speed.

But fortunately it was Extreme Speed; Normal-type moves are ineffective against Ghost-types.

Nearly flipped the car!

"U-turn!"

"Sucker Punch!"

Both sides ordered at the same time.

Dragapult appeared from the air, rushing toward Umbreon, which stared closely at its movements, suddenly jumping up and striking with all its might.

Bang bang!

Both moves hit the opponent in the form of claws and tail respectively!

"Sucker Punch hit! Another very effective blow!"

The commentator looked at Dragapult, which had crashed again, "Dragapult—eh? U-turn succeeded!"

He saw a green light fly back into the Poké Ball in All Baimu's hand.

It actually hadn't lost its ability to battle after such successive attacks!

"Thank you for your hard work, holding on until now."

All Baimu said gently.

There was only one reason Dragapult didn't fall down—

No more losing face!

It had already lost face many times before!
