Chapter 1206: The Long Wang's First Battle
Changing generals on the spot!
Alain's brow furrowed for a moment, then quickly relaxed.
He knew this wasn't All Baimu's deliberate provocation, but the latter's battle habit—averaging the appearance opportunity of every Pokémon.
In a sense, being willing to take Aggron out could already be considered very important.
Before battling so many Elite Four members and Gym Leaders, have you seen All Baimu use his ace?
"Pain Split, prepare!"
He called out loudly, trying to pass his voice into the arena where the sandstorm was howling.
Far away.
All Baimu thought for a moment before sending out the second one.
"Hong~"
A dull metallic vibration suddenly echoed in the arena, and even the manic sandstorm couldn't cover up the loud buzzing, as well as the other party's huge body that was close to Dynamax.
The commentator shouted: "Steelix! All Baimu's second Pokémon is the giant Steelix whose body size is extraordinary and once set a world record!"
There are many troublemakers in the world who like to argue about high and low.
All Baimu's fame made him watched by many people, and it was no exaggeration to say that they commented from beginning to end.
His Pokémon belonged to the existence at the forefront of the storm.
For example, the Shiny Gengar and Milotic, and the Steelix with extraordinary body size, their attention was no less than other Pokémon.
In the auditorium, Manon and Chespin seemed to be immersed in the scene, looking at the behemoth in the dust with slight fear and vigilance.
"It's okay! Steelix is a Steel-type! It's advantageous to Alain and Chesnaught!"
She said to herself.
Chespin nodded seriously, continuing to wave flags and cheer for its final evolution.
In the arena,
"Ches!"
Chesnaught crossed its arms, running wildly forward against the sandstorm, with a faint film of light on its body.
It was going to share the existing stamina of both sides!
However, the sandstorm could block the sight of humans and ordinary Pokémon, but it absolutely could not block Steelix.
It easily caught sight of Chesnaught's movements, turned its head to exchange glances with All Baimu, and immediately understood, roaring dully, while the three thick lateral steel bones at the top rotated rapidly!
Whoosh whoosh—
In an instant.
The manic sandstorm in the entire arena rolled, crazily gathering toward the position where Steelix was, as if there was a vacuum cleaner over there.
When Chesnaught approached, the already thick sandstorm was now swirling around the towering Steelix, becoming even more airtight!
Bang!
It slammed into the outer edge of the swirling sand tornado, but it couldn't break through it, and instead was thrown back by some inexplicable repulsive force!
"Ches!"
It fell to the ground, its expression slightly bewildered.
And as the sand on the periphery was all sucked away by the rotating lateral steel bones, the hazy arena gradually became clear, and everyone was shocked to see this scene.
The commentator said: "Alain's strategy failed! Steelix's control over the sandstorm is extraordinary!"
As the words fell.
The sand tornado in the arena suddenly became slender, and its top bent at an incredible angle.
"Dodge to the side! Spiky Shield!"
Too late!
The sand tornado suddenly rushed down, bombarding Chesnaught's body!
Rumble—!!
The deafening roar continued to sound!
The sandstorm had completely submerged Chesnaught, and the fluorescent green light inside shone like starlight, but quickly dimmed, as if a candle in the wind could be extinguished at any time.
The commentator: "What a savage attack move! Chesnaught is defending quite arduously!"
The situation was urgent.
Alain waved his fist and shouted: "Hold on! Chesnaught!"
Who would have thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, Chesnaught's Spiky Shield was completely crushed by the sand tornado, and the fine and dense sand was like countless long knives, constantly cutting its carapace!
Chi chi chi—
The chilling friction sound kept entering Chesnaught's ears.
Pain soon came, and scars appeared on its body covered with thick scales!
What kind of attack is this?
Sand Tomb?
But Chesnaught resists Ground-type moves, how could it not withstand this blow!
Alain couldn't understand Steelix's move at all.
Fortunately, after this wave of attacks, the swirling sandstorm seemed to lose its power and drifted down, piling up in groups of sand on the ground.
The "power" suspected to be a sandstorm was exhausted.
But Steelix didn't land, and wisps of electricity lingered around its body, making it float in mid-air.
Magnet Rise?
"Reversal!"
Alain whispered, and Chesnaught, enduring the pain, curled up into a ball and suddenly jumped up!
"Ches!"
It slammed into Steelix, and even though its stamina was extremely unhealthy, it had no intention of retreating at all.
Seeking life from death!
This is the core mystery of 【Reversal】!
But how could Steelix let the opponent attack? It fiercely swung its silver-shining giant tail and greeted Chesnaught without showing weakness!
Thud!
The sound was dull!
The fire and smoke brought by the energy impact suddenly erupted between the two.
Chesnaught fell heavily to the ground, then jumped up quickly, intending to collide with Steelix again!
【Reversal】, the less stamina, the greater the power!
"Hong!"
Steelix also seemed like a dull boy, swinging its tail rapidly and using an 【Iron Tail】 against Chesnaught!
Thud!
Smoke rose again!
The commentator shouted: "Chesnaught and Steelix continue to clash! You come and I go without giving an inch! Who can persist to the end!?"
According to the situation in the first half, everyone could see that Chesnaught was more severely injured.
But at the moment, not only was it not defeated by Steelix, but its state was getting better and better, continuing to attack fiercely as if locking blood!
All Baimu's face was calm, as if he turned a blind eye to the situation in front of him.
Alain kept shouting, giving Chesnaught the power to continue fighting with continuous calls!
"Use this move to decide the winner! Re—"
The shouting stopped abruptly.
The reason was that Chesnaught, which fell to the ground, couldn't jump up like before, but suddenly sank into the sandy ground.
The vortex-like quicksand swallowed it, entangling its body, and also making it difficult for Chesnaught to jump out and break free.
"Che—s..."
Its shouting became blurred as it continued to sink.
In mid-air, Steelix's eyes were stern, as if it saw a stupid prey finally taking the bait.
The commentator was surprised: "Sand Tomb? How could the move be so fast—ah!"
He seemed to realize something and shouted: "Chesnaught's fall shattered the earth, allowing Steelix to use Sand Tomb faster and more easily!"
Undoubtedly.
The several collisions on the surface of the arena shattered the ground into slag, plus the accumulated sand, which allowed Steelix to easily break open the ground and create a huge sand hole.
And at this most critical moment, Steelix retreated to advance, leading Chesnaught into a trap.
The tactic was very simple, but it was good enough to use!
Actually, Steelix could also win by colliding head-on with Chesnaught, and would even win more easily, but Steelix was unwilling to use "brute force" like in the past, and it began to pursue tactics.
Losing to the Shiny Milotic before and losing the power of substantial growth in a short time had truly taught it a profound lesson.
Before long.
The quicksand on the surface of the arena stopped swirling.
Chesnaught was spat out, the referee checked nearby, raised his right hand and shouted: "Chesnaught is unable to battle! Steelix wins!"
Two to zero, won another game!
"Hong!"
Steelix roared, circling like a dragon in mid-air.
The huge figure arrogantly danced close to the edge of the auditorium, drawing bursts of excited screams and cheers!
Some viewers picked up the sand shaken off its body and stored it very preciously.
This is sand made by the Champion's Pokémon!
"Ches..."
Chespin lay frustrated on the Trainer's lap, and Manon looked at Alain worriedly.
The Champion is really too powerful!
Can Alain withstand it?
——
Of course he could withstand it.
Alain took a deep breath, and his emotions stabilized quickly.
Although losing two games in a row made him very regretful, ever since he was deceived by Lysandre and almost made an unforgivable mistake, many things could no longer make him restless.
How much worse could the situation be than that time?
"Truly as strong as ever."
He looked at All Baimu from afar, recalling the past and watching the present.
He couldn't help but admire and respect the strength the other party possessed; no wonder Champion Steven always praised the other party.
If he possessed the other party's strength, perhaps...
"Go!"
Alain threw the last Poké Ball.
Bang!
"Metagross!"
The Metagross, which looked like a crab and had a bronze-colored body, landed.
All Baimu was stunned, "Huh?"
Isn't Journeys the Dragonite season?
Since entering the Advanced Ball tier, how many times have I encountered this thing?
"Return."
He recalled the arrogant Steelix into the ball, his fingers hovering over the Poké Balls at his waist.
At this moment, a Poké Ball vibrating frequently squeezed into his palm.
"You guy..."
All Baimu took it out helplessly, and after meeting Alain's serious gaze, he suddenly threw it forward, "Then let's have a battle!"
Bang!
Light shone.
Seeing this, Alain ordered immediately, "Bullet Punch!"
No matter which Pokémon All Baimu was going to send, strike first!
Alain's emotions were very stable; he didn't care about the final result of this competition, only pursuing to fight every game well.
His state of mind had indeed been sublimated, which was also one of the main reasons he later climbed to the sixth place in the Masters Eight.
"Metagross!"
Metagross raised its huge fists, silver light flowed in front of it, and it rushed forward!
Whoosh!
The heavy sound of wind sounded with its huge body galloping, and in the blink of an eye, it approached the Pokémon that entered the arena.
But the opponent's reaction was faster than it!
"Sha-sang~"
Just hearing a dull roar from beside its ear, the next moment, with the solid touch of colliding with an object from the side of its arms, Metagross's vision turned upside down!
Thud!
A strong sense of dizziness came from its brain!
"Metagross?"
Metagross tried to flip its body inexplicably, but the mocking dull roar continued to echo in its ears.
The auditorium sent out excited shouts.
The commentator shouted excitedly: "The Long Wang appears! Hydreigon easily avoided Metagross's attack and conversely drove its body!"
It's a pity that this move is not 【Foul Play】 that borrows the opponent's power to counterattack; it belongs to a simple physical attack, otherwise Metagross would have lost at least half its life.
Hydreigon returned to the big stage after a long absence. Facing tens of thousands of viewers, hearing the commentator call it the Long Wang, it arrogantly puffed out its chest and raised its head, roaring!
"Sha-sang—!!"
The roar resounded through the clouds!
The deterrent roar even triggered the defensive barrier!
The audience shouted fanatically. Every one of All Baimu's Pokémon had die-hard fans, among which the number of Hydreigon's fans was second only to Mawile!
Yes, although it never showed its face, by virtue of its gorgeous record of defeating Entei and the noble title of Long Wang, it still harvested countless fans who loved it.
Of course, this type of person is mostly young men.
They are at an age where strength is everything. No matter how ugly the Pokémon is, as long as it is strong enough, they can adapt to it, shouting: "How can there be such a handsome Pokémon!"
Moreover, Hydreigon is very handsome.
Its arrogant and unyielding posture naturally became the favorite of many people.
Plus Shanren specially marketed the Hydreigon that got the Long Wang title...
It's a pity that it succeeded because of the Long Wang and failed because of the Long Wang. All Baimu originally loved to use Hydreigon, but for some reason, its appearance rate plummeted.
Later, it was almost invisible.
All Baimu's fans were very uncomfortable.
Other Trainers send whatever Pokémon is strong, but their idol is unique, the stronger the Pokémon, the more he wants to hide it, sending other Pokémon to appear.
Although other Pokémon are also very strong and basically have no defeats...
But Hydreigon and the others are really strong and popular!
"Long Wang! Long Wang! Long Wang!"
The neat shouts of the auditorium made Hydreigon very useful. It looked down at Metagross, which was flipping its body and climbing up, and a cold smile appeared on its ferocious face.
In order not to let its admirers down.
One move—
Solve you!
Try to take it! Overestimating challenger!
"Sha—sang—"
It took a deep breath, its chest and abdomen bulged high, and blood-red luster appeared in front of its three big mouths.
Alain and Metagross saw this scene, and both felt inner fear, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"Protect—Meteor Mash! Next!"
Between defense and offense, he chose the latter.
Just because he felt that Hydreigon's attack couldn't be taken by Metagross's Protect.
Rather than defending, it's better to devote himself to the attack.
Replace defense with offense!
"Metagross!"
Metagross's huge fists closed again, and this time its hind limbs also closed, becoming like a spaceship.
Brilliant starlight-colored light lingered around its body, like a shining comet!
It raised its body and rushed straight to the high—
Boom—!!
The destructive black-red light wave descended from the sky!
Like a terrifying ray from outside the sky, it suddenly pierced the air in the arena, and more like a saturation strike of artillery!
The Metagross that had just flown up disappeared in it instantly, the brilliant luster of Meteor Mash was completely covered, and not a trace leaked out.
The intense light even overwhelmed the sunlight from above, making the world change color!
The auditorium was silent, everyone's eyes were occupied by this light that swallowed the sky and ate the earth, leaving no other color.
The entire Wyndon City began to tremble, like an earthquake!
The commentator was dumbfounded. He also looked at Hydreigon, which was crazily pouring "flames of destruction" from high altitude, unable to imagine the power it possessed.
Leon...
Charizard...
Familiar figures and familiar Pokémon flashed in his mind.
It seemed that only this pair of partners could correspond the scene in front of him to it.
Boom—!!
Black-red light was blinding.
At this very moment, the massive arena was silent, leaving only the roar of Dark Pulse! ===== CHAPTER 1207 =====
