Chapter 1106: Doggy! Crushing Defeat!

Perfect match!

Poor little cucumber, about to lose points again.

All Baimu ignored Ash's envious voice and asked, "Do you have any other plans for later?"

"I don't know, if you arrange something for me, I'll fight!"

Ash chuckled, feeling that he would have a lot in common with Nemona.

Entering the venue.

Korrina was standing at the entrance waiting for him. The frustration of losing to Ash earlier was nowhere to be seen on her face, and she said spiritedly, "Please treat me well! Champion!"

All Baimu: "Please treat me well. After our last battle, I forgot to ask you for something."

Korrina looked a bit blank, "Something? What something?"

He laughed, "Of course, it's the Gym Badge, Miss Korrina, Gym Leader of the Shalour Gym."

"Hahaha!"

Korrina immediately put her hands on her hips excitedly, "Bring it on! Challenger!"

The two entered the arena.

The audience had been looking forward to this for a long time, and as soon as they saw the two, they burst into extremely loud cheers.

"Korrina! Go for it! Don't lose to him!"

"Korrina, I love you!"

"Champion! Look at me, Champion!"

Shalour City was Korrina's home turf, so the cheers from the local residents were naturally high.

But All Baimu's popularity was not inferior at all.

His previous few battles had already conquered many battle enthusiasts.

The number of likes on many short videos of the scene in the Pokémon app had already exceeded a thousand. One must know that this was a thousand likes in the Pokémon world, the kind without any fake padding.

Each took their positions.

The Rotom Drone entered to announce the rules.

The commentator said energetically: "The upcoming match will be between our lively and cute Evolution Fighter Korrina and the Champion All Baimu from the Orre region. Let's cheer for both sides!"

The field was a Grass Field.

There were a few lush shrubs scattered on the flat grassland, enough to conceal small Pokémon.

"Please have both sides send out their first Pokémon."

Following the Rotom Drone's command, both sides threw out their Poké Balls.

Boom! Boom!

"Miloo~"

The Shiny Milotic let out a low, enchanting cry, its pale blue hair-like fins resembling the clear blue sea.

Its pale gold scales reflected a moving, brilliant halo, and water mist seemed to drift around its body, making it appear even more dreamlike.

Opposite it was a bird-man that looked like it was wearing a mask.

It was covered in colorful feathers, its wings were cape-like, and although its stature was short, its chest muscles were strong, giving off the aura of a fighter.

Hawlucha, the Wrestling Pokémon of Fighting and Flying type.

The Rotom Drone confirmed everything.

"Battle start!"

"Lucha!"

Hawlucha let out a sharp cry, spread its wings to leap up, and then tightened its wings to rush toward Milotic at an extremely fast speed!

Korrina's command came out as if it were late, "Flying Press!"

【Flying Press】, a Fighting and Flying dual-type move, which is also calculated as both types when calculating damage.

But neither type was super-effective against Milotic.

Therefore, All Baimu's choice was—

"Coil."

"Miloo~"

Milotic curled into a ball, its Attack, Defense, and Accuracy rising in turn, taking the impact from Hawlucha head-on!

Bang!

The strong wind blew the grass clippings.

Hawlucha flipped in mid-air to quickly open up the distance, then landed lightly with a solemn expression.

"Lucha..."

The confident move seemed to have had no effect at all. Is Milotic a Pokémon with outstanding defense?

Korrina shouted: "Run and use Swords Dance!"

Hawlucha started moving quickly, relying on the shrubs in the field to block the vision of Milotic and All Baimu.

This little trick was ignored.

As the transparent sword blades rotated around it, Milotic raised its neck and sang a moving ballad.

Lead-gray dark clouds covered the sky above the arena, dimming the light while bringing a torrential rain that made Hawlucha's scalp tingle.

Whoosh—

In just over ten seconds, the grass had already begun to accumulate water.

Compared to other Water-type moves, Milotic's Rain Dance skill had improved the most.

Although it was far from being comparable to the sea monster Kyogre, it was still very easy to bring a torrential rain to a medium-sized field for five minutes.

Shalour City was by the sea, and the moisture in the air was also very sufficient, so it didn't cost much elemental energy at all.

And for a Flying-type Pokémon, this was no less than a disaster.

Hawlucha, having just finished its Swords Dance, looked up at the thick dark clouds overhead, feeling as powerless as if it had been struck by lightning.

Its feathers should have had water-filtering functions, but they were easily overwhelmed in the face of the torrential rain.

The rain also affected vision.

The white mist overflowing in the arena due to the downpour looked light and thin, but it could actually make Milotic blurry.

"Don't panic! Use Bounce!"

The Trainer's voice also became a bit blurry.

Hawlucha took a deep breath and darted toward the sky like an arrow, until it rushed into the dark cloud layer.

Immediately after.

Its whole body was wrapped in a sky-blue shining radiance, pouncing toward Milotic's face like divine punishment descending from the sky!

Bang!

The deafening sound stirred the wind and rain along with the air waves!

The struggle within the white mist had not ended; a huge long shadow wriggled and entangled the petite figure, and the latter was like a silky loach, stepping on something to accelerate and retreat a second time.

"Miloo..."

Milotic had a strange expression.

It seemed to have suddenly become faster?

Seeing Hawlucha retreat and spit something out to the side, All Baimu said: "It's Unburden."

【Unburden】 Ability.

When the held item is lost, the user's speed doubles.

Hawlucha was holding a Berry in its mouth, waiting to eat it at a necessary moment to trigger the Ability.

Korrina came prepared!

It's just that it wasn't used for a counterattack... Of course, if it hadn't dodged just now, Hawlucha wouldn't have had a chance to counterattack anyway.

Hawlucha clearly sensed the crisis, so it decisively ate the unknown Berry.

It's just a pity that the ending was the same.

All Baimu sentenced Hawlucha to death, "Start the counterattack, don't give it another chance."

"Miloo~"

Milotic let out a happy, long cry.

Its cry had very strong penetrating power, which even the noisy torrential rain couldn't block.

Hawlucha, which was preparing to launch another attack, had its feathers stand on end.

"Lucha!"

"Flying Press!"

Korrina's shout was timely, but it was already too late.

Coming head-on was a terrifying giant wave, almost as high as the top level of the spectator stands!

Boom!

The deafening sound could make everyone who saw it hold their breath.

Even though the water mist was thick, the audience could still clearly see the giant wave passing from left to right in an instant.

Hawlucha, which had leaped up, was fast, but it was still slapped down by the giant wave that came crashing in like a fly being swatted.

Its figure was submerged in the monstrous waves, unable to struggle and powerless to struggle.

The powerful water pressure made it difficult to break free, and it could only be trapped within, waiting for the arrival of its predetermined fate.

The commentator said with a shocked face: "What a terrifying Surf! Hawlucha was instantly swept in!"

From the audience's perspective, Hawlucha's speed was very fast, and the speed of the Surf was also very fast; everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Could it achieve this step just by relying on the boost from the rainy day? Or did Milotic secretly use other boosting moves?

Only All Baimu himself knew the answer to this.

Actually, it wasn't a secret, and even many people knew it—some Water-type moves can be enhanced in power by external influences.

For example, Whirlpool in a pool, Water Pulse in the deep sea, and for example... Surf in a water environment.

Rainwater, accumulated water, and water in the air were all triggered at the same moment.

It would bring an incomparably terrifying scene.

Ever since he realized this, All Baimu had some thoughts about Rain Dance, and now he had successfully realized it through Milotic's hands.

Using it to store water, and then using this to greatly enhance the power, an extraordinary power!

It is worthy of being the genius Pokémon that could earn him the favor of Wallace and Juan!

A short while later.

The tide slowly receded.

Hawlucha, lying face up, had already fainted.

The Rotom Drone immediately gave the judgment, "Hawlucha is unable to battle!"

Korrina took a deep breath and let out another long breath.

"The strength of a Champion, indeed."

She still remembered the experience of Mega Lucario losing to Mega Mawile in one minute.

After more than a year, Korrina considered her strength to have grown quite a bit.

"Go! Lucario!"

She shouted in her heart, wanting to let All Baimu see the current her, waving her fists powerfully, and shouting: "Life! Ex! Plode!"

"Awoo—"

The Lucario that landed on the ground burst into a glowing blue radiance.

The Key Stone and Mega Stone were connected by a chain of lightning, helping Lucario transform into its cool Mega form!

Zing!

The escaping energy shook off the rainwater around its body.

"Surf."

"Aura Sphere!"

Mega Lucario had a calm face, staring at the giant wave that had once knocked down its teammate, concentrating on condensing a giant Aura Sphere comparable to its own upper body!

"Awoo—!!"

Accompanied by a sharp whistle, the giant Aura Sphere roared forward, and the menacing giant wave was actually shattered, with a large hole broken open from the middle!

Not only that, the Aura Sphere flew toward the sky in a strange curve, darting into the dark clouds and then suddenly exploding, forming a ball of azure flame.

In an instant.

The sky became exceptionally clear.

Sunlight shone back onto this arena, forming a gorgeous and eye-catching rainbow bridge.

Mega Lucario broke through this rain barrier with brute force.

The commentator said excitedly: "The power of Aura shatters the darkness! Challenger Korrina is about to start exerting her strength!"

"Power-Up Punch!"

"Awoo!"

Mega Lucario barked, rushing toward Milotic at an extremely fast speed, its fists burning with crimson flames of fighting spirit!

Thump, thump, thump!

Its continuous punches were heavy and swift, completely invisible to the naked eye in its normal state, and Milotic could only passively use its tail fins to receive the moves, but even so, it discovered that Mega Lucario's punches were getting heavier one after another!

Fortunately, Coil had enhanced its defensive power.

Hum!

The light of ability enhancement enveloped Mega Lucario, and Milotic endured the pain to counterattack, its slender tail swinging like a long whip, and its head also circling the opponent's body.

Who would have thought that the opponent was sensitive beyond the ordinary; even though Milotic's accuracy had also increased, it was still quickly dodged by it.

It even stepped on its body to flip and dodge.

Milotic was a little angry, "Miloo!"

It had never seen such a good dodging Pokémon! Both of Korrina's Pokémon were particularly good at dodging!

Little did it know, Fighting-type Pokémon are often the Pokémon with the strongest physical mastery.

Besides, Aura, huh.

All Baimu ruled out the possibility of it using Detect, so could he only wait for the opponent to make a mistake?

The commentator shouted passionately: "Mega Lucario is playing Milotic in the palm of its hand!"

The audience boiled over.

Was Mega Lucario finally going to show its power!

Just when All Baimu also thought so, Korrina made a decision that exceeded his expectations.

"Power-Up Punch!"

Hearing her shout excitedly, she didn't let Mega Lucario retreat, but launched a second attack!

The opportunity came so fast!

Once you taste the sweetness, you won't let go?

All Baimu deeply felt that he was being underestimated by Korrina; could the opponent think that he was a Champion who couldn't exert his strength without Legendary Pokémon and Mega Evolution?

The young Gym Leader is truly young!

He shouted: "Take it!"

"Miloo!"

Milotic swung its tail to block, letting Mega Lucario move quickly and throw punches, causing pain to spread throughout its body.

Its endurance lasted until the moment Mega Lucario's punch speed began to drop.

All Baimu laughed: "Disarming Voice!"

The gap in the attack was impossible for him to forget once he had seen it once.

Confirming when it could stop attacking was completely out of the question.

And so.

At the moment Mega Lucario retracted its punch, Milotic opened its mouth and released a pastel-colored light wave toward it!

"Miloo!!"

Hum!

Although it leaned back to dodge at the first moment, the range of sound-based moves was too large.

It was too late to use Detect, All Baimu was counting the seconds!

Bang!

The smoke exploded.

Mega Lucario was blown away.

"Lucario!"

Korrina shouted in a hurry, the boost brought by Power-Up Punch became the reason for its dizziness.

It was as if its brain had been hit by a heavy punch, its movements swaying and it couldn't stand up.

"Woo..."

Korrina hurriedly closed her eyes, resisting the dizziness brought by the confusion together with Mega Lucario.

All Baimu decisively seized the victory, "Hydro Pump!"

With the connection brought by Mega Evolution between human and Pokémon, resolving the confusion state was only a matter of time.

What he needed was to deal the greatest damage within this short time!

Poof!

The azure water column bombarded Mega Lucario's body, causing it, unable to resist, to fly backward for dozens of meters on the spot, until it fell down in front of Korrina.

"Miloo..."

Milotic narrowed its eyes.

Because Mega Lucario hadn't lost its ability to battle, it shook its head and stood up again.

Does that mean its output can't compare to Dragonite after two Dragon Dances?

Sensing Milotic's dissatisfaction, All Baimu laughed.

"You idiot, you've gotten a bit bloated."

But he liked it.

A Champion's Pokémon should have enough confidence.

He said: "Final blow, Blizzard."

"Close Combat!"

Korrina also gave the final order.

"Awoo!"

Mega Lucario gritted its teeth and rushed forward, its whole body erupting with orange-red flames, the fire of fighting spirit burning every inch of its fur.

Its speed was extremely fast, so fast that the accumulated water in the grass flew high!

Swish, swish, swish!

Like a battlefield motorcycle rushing through a shallow beach!

However, before Mega Lucario could get close to Milotic, a cold, biting current instantly descended in the center of the arena.

Countless snowflakes froze the grass in the blink of an eye, causing the visible white to spread forward.

Whoosh!

The cold wind swept past.

Mega Lucario, soaked to the bone, slowed its pace, the fire of fighting spirit completely unable to melt the freezing air brought by the terrifying cold current, and white mist emerged from its mouth and teeth.

"Woo—"

A short breath passed.

The entire arena, which had been drenched by the torrential rain, had turned into a white, icy world.

Mega Lucario maintained its forward-rushing posture, thick ice and snow covering its body, like a lifelike snowman.

Korrina hadn't come back to her senses yet.

The Rotom Drone said: "Lucario is unable to battle, Challenger All Baimu wins!"
