Chapter 1214: Friend Siebold

The news of the battle between All Baimu and Siebold spread quickly.

"Does the Orre Champion have endless energy?"

"How bold! Daring to underestimate our Champion!"

"No way, I really have to watch this one!"

"Save it, Siebold Elite Four's restaurant isn't that easy to get into; didn't one just get kicked out?"

In front of Siebold's gladiator arena restaurant, the eager crowd watched as a middle-aged man in a suit was forcibly invited out.

The other side scolded, "You are being unreasonable! Even if I bought a Tauros seat, I spent money! You should go find the person who sold the seat!"

"Don't worry, sir, we won't let a single one go."

The words the waiter said while smiling couldn't make the customer who was invited out feel at ease.

Among the apron-wearing audience, someone's eyes brightened.

"Can I buy his seat?"

"I! I'll pay double!"

The crowd suddenly became active, scrambling to ask for the vacated seat.

Regarding this, the waiter claimed that he needed to ask his superiors, so he walked in amidst the urging of the crowd.

At the same time.

All Baimu and Siebold had already stood still in the gladiator arena.

"How about one round to decide the winner?"

He heard the voice from the opposite side and replied, "Actually—that's fine, let's decide the winner in one round!"

The other side's challenge just now was clearly a joke; perhaps they had other important matters?

Solve it early.

He thought with some regret.

—If Siebold knew his thoughts at this moment, he probably would have changed it to three-on-three on the spot.

What is a quick battle? Is it polite?

I am an Elite Four!

Siebold, who was completely unaware that his strength had been offended, took out a Poké Ball and threw it forward fiercely.

Bang!

Light flickered.

Blastoise, wearing a Mega Stone, entered the arena, looking at All Baimu, who was throwing the ball, with eagerness.

Last time, it had fought with Dragapult for a long time, never thinking that it would ultimately be taken out by a Galar Corsola using 【Destiny Bond】.

It was truly unwilling!

Today, it must settle this account properly!

"Blastoise!"

Blastoise's roar was low, water mist swirled between its breaths, and the metal cannons on its back retracted and expanded, its fighting spirit soaring.

Bang!

With a light sound, the opponent entered the arena a bit slower.

Blastoise was suddenly stunned, "..."

Only to see not far away, the graceful water snake swaying its body.

Its bright golden scales shone brilliantly in the sun, its water-blue fins were like clear shallow seas, and when they swayed slightly, they raised dots of water droplets, scattering moving colorful halos.

"Milotic~"

The blue eyes reflected Blastoise's appearance, shaking its powerful heart.

In human evaluation, Milotic was already called a beautiful Pokémon; in the natural world...

It could only be said that if the two sides weren't temporarily in a hostile state, Blastoise would probably have gone up to offer favors, just like before.

"Blastoise~~"

Milotic-chan has become even more beautiful!

Blastoise sighed, and a trace of resentment added to its eyes when looking at All Baimu.

Damn human!

Actually making it fight its goddess, Milotic-sister!

It clenched its short, thick fists, showing a posture of being ready to go.

Siebold keenly noticed this, but thought it was Blastoise being stirred up by the Shiny Milotic, "Very good! Keep it up! We will offer the most delicious dish to our guest!"

"Blastoise!"

Blastoise turned sadness into fighting spirit, and without saying a word, fired a shot toward Milotic, while also apologizing in its heart—

'Sorry, Milotic-chan!'

Boom!

The azure flame dragon roared out of the cannon, vibrating the air and causing a boom, rushing toward Milotic's face at an extremely fast speed.

However, the latter didn't dodge or evade, just a layer of colorful light film suddenly appeared on its body surface.

In an instant, the azure flames completely covered it!

"Careful!"

Siebold didn't feel any joy at all, his expression solemn as he let Blastoise prepare to dodge or resist.

Just as he said, the azure flames, after covering Milotic, suddenly swirled, and as if pulled by some force, gradually flew into Milotic's slightly opened mouth.

Turn the opponent's attack into its own use!

Boom—!!

"Blastoise!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, Blastoise judged that it couldn't dodge this move, so it decisively rolled forward, retracted its shell, and propped up its back, forming a thick city wall.

It was just that the flame dragon, which was even larger in shape, wasn't resisted by the shell, and even seemed to carry a certain penetrating power, suddenly drilling into its body.

"Ugh!"

It couldn't help but grunt.

Siebold frowned, "Mirror Coat?"

Changing moves for Pokémon good at Pokémon Contests was considered a relatively common phenomenon, but Milotic's changing moves were a bit too frequent.

According to his understanding, counting this time, Milotic had used at least three different forms of 【Mirror Coat】.

Fortunately, he had some experience, otherwise he really wouldn't have recognized it!

But...

Was it unexpectedly easy to bear?

Seeing Milotic's spirited appearance, and then looking at Blastoise's posture, which didn't seem to have suffered much damage, Siebold sighed.

"An appetizer that doesn't suit the taste."

He held his brooch, "Since that's the case, let's serve the main course directly!"

Hum!

Colorful light shone, Blastoise's shape changed rapidly, the back cannons merged into one, and two small cannons grew on its arms!

"Blastoise!"

Its roar became even deeper, and the admiration in its eyes when looking at Milotic gradually dissipated, replaced by a full fighting spirit!

Mega Evolution symbolized that its heart was completely connected with Siebold, and under the mutual infection of both sides, some unnecessary emotions naturally disappeared.

Siebold also just learned that his own Blastoise had fallen in love with All Baimu's Milotic.

This made him somewhat dumbfounded.

"But since the chef has fallen in love with the guest, he should offer a main course that satisfies the guest even more! Come! Shell Smash! Dragon Pulse!"

"Blastoise!"

Mega Blastoise roared, three huge cannon muzzles aimed at Milotic in the distance, and fired three-colored dragon flames!

Azure, indigo, and scarlet flames intertwined in mid-air, forming a colorful flying dragon!

Roar—!!

The air vibrated violently!

And compared to the Dragon Pulse that only had the upper body just now, this time the Dragon Pulse was not only exceptionally huge, but also grew wings like Dragon Rush, occupying most of the arena in an instant!

The 【Mega Launcher】 ability is truly terrifying!

"Twister."

Click.

A crisp sound.

Milotic's tail fin changed from a fan shape to a uniform propeller, and while rotating at high speed, it raised an azure hurricane, meeting the flame flying dragon without showing weakness!

Amidst the diners who had stopped eating, two energy sources of the same attribute intertwined!

Boom!!

The air vibrated, and a visible milky-white shockwave swung toward the surroundings, causing the reinforced floor-to-ceiling windows to shake violently, making a heart-trembling sound.

Many diners were so scared that the food on their forks was shaken off.

Fortunately, a layer of purple-red light film quickly appeared inside the glass, and then a waiter came to explain the restaurant's defense system.

Only then could everyone continue to talk and laugh while dining.

Unexpectedly, despite causing a turbulent shockwave, these two energy sources didn't disappear.

When the noisy dust dissipated, what was seen was the flame flying dragon swirling around the Twister, as if singing and echoing each other!

"Milotic..."

Milotic's expression was slightly strained.

Mega Blastoise's attack power was ultimately not bad; even with its level 90 energy base, it was quite strenuous to use a move like Twister to manipulate Dragon Pulse.

But, it was only strenuous!

Attack instead of defense—full return!

It flicked its tail fiercely, and the Dragon Pulse fired by Mega Blastoise rushed toward the source!

"Blastoise!"

Mega Blastoise roared, glowing blue light flickered in the three cannon muzzles, and terrifying water columns poured out, rushing straight at the returning Dragon Pulse!

Boom—!!

The moves collided again!

This time Milotic couldn't turn it into its own use, and the two high-energy pulses exploded on the spot, the rebounding air waves violently impacting the Pokémon on both sides.

The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows shook again, even more violently than before!

In normal times, the diners would have run far away, but at this moment they were nervous and expectant, no one left their seats.

"What a remarkable dish!"

Siebold looked at the misty scene in front of him.

Ever since he learned of All Baimu's cooking level, he couldn't help but feel a sense of favor toward him, and even more longed to communicate with him to promote progress in both cooking and battling.

What was worth being happy about was that All Baimu was really compatible with him.

His cooking was better than the other side's, and his strength was weaker than the other side's; both sides could totally help each other point-to-point and precisely raise each other's weaknesses.

Today's battle was proposed by Siebold to figure out how much he was behind All Baimu.

The smoke slowly dissipated.

Siebold looked at Milotic, which still seemed unscathed, and then at Mega Blastoise, which was slightly panting, "Grown so much stronger..."

He was also an expert on Water-type Pokémon; although he hadn't raised a Milotic, he clearly remembered Milotic's strength during the Battle Festival.

Compared to now, it could totally be called two different Pokémon!

After becoming Champion, can you still let your Pokémon gain cross-level strength improvement in a very short time?

Before the battle with Milotic, Siebold thought that in the battle between All Baimu and Diantha, how could the outcome be anything but fifty-fifty?

Now it seems, fifty what fifty!

He couldn't imagine how powerful the publicly stronger Aggron, Hydreigon, and other Pokémon were, given that Milotic was already so strong.

Of course, from the video of the previous battle with Alain, one could glimpse a few clues.

Siebold raised his hand, "That's about it, let's serve the last main course!"

"Blastoise!"

Mega Blastoise responded, brilliant luster lit up on its body, and then it shattered fiercely!

【Shell Smash】!

At the cost of lowering both defenses, exchange for both attacks and speed!

It stared at Milotic, its heart full of determination to let its sweetheart see its strength!

Orange-red air waves washed over its body, the three thick cannon muzzles began to glow red, as if some terrifying energy was gathering within them!

In the distance.

All Baimu saw this scene and smiled, "What a straightforward fighting style, not dragging your feet at all? Since that's the case."

He showed his Z-Ring, "Come on! Respond to Siebold and Blastoise!"

"Milotic!"

Milotic's eyes shone, its body twisting as it did some mysterious movements with its Trainer.

On the Z-Ring, the pale pink light belonging to the Fairium Z shone, turning into golden energy and rushing into Milotic's body!

Hum!

The Z-Power sign of full firepower emerged!

Amidst the surprised or excited cheers of the diners, the Trainers on both sides gave orders simultaneously.

"Dragon Pulse!!"

"Twinkle Tackle!!"

Boom! Boom!

The roaring flame giant dragon and the brilliant pink-colored meteor formed in an instant, rushing toward each other with an unstoppable momentum!

Suddenly, the entire gladiator arena was illuminated by this brilliant light; even from the outside, one could see the soaring light pillar where the two energy sources intertwined, and even parts of the roofs and skyscrapers in the distance!

"What happened over there?"

"Seems like they are battling! That direction—Elite Four Siebold?"

"Stupid! It's All Baimu and Siebold battling!"

"All Baimu and Siebold? Isn't our Champion battling him tomorrow?"

"Don't you go online?"

As the diners in the restaurant leaked the live video through Poké-Sound, more and more people in Lumiose City knew about the situation there.

Many tourists gathered there, causing the already congested traffic to become even more blocked.

But all this, naturally, couldn't affect the two in the battle.

When Mega Blastoise's Dragon Pulse, which had poured out all its strength, collided with Twinkle Tackle, rolling air waves washed over this ancient ruin-like venue wave after wave.

Causing many rocks in the distance to shatter, countless dust rushing straight into the sky!

Siebold, located within it, only felt that his footing was unstable; you must know he was a head chef, and every head chef's stance was ridiculously stable.

After all, he had to stand for more than fourteen hours a day.

Even so, facing the aftermath of the two moves, he had to try his best to stabilize his center of gravity.

All Baimu, on the other hand, was much more relaxed; he gazed at the dazzling light in the arena, as if he could see which side had the upper hand when the two moves grew and waned.

Finally, accompanied by a deafening boom, this dragon-and-tiger battle came to an end.

The earth shook fiercely, then shattered like a biscuit.

Countless stones flew past All Baimu's side, a small part hitting his clothes, which was offset by the anti-impact function.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the pattering sound was endless, as if someone was constantly outputting with heavy firearms, and dense white dots appeared before all the diners' eyes.

Fortunately, they were just white dots.

The aftermath of this battle lasted for a full minute before slowly coming to an end.

The drifting dust was driven away by the breeze, revealing the two Pokémon in the arena with vastly different states.

Milotic stood in place, only considered slightly panting and its scales looking slightly dim.

Mega Blastoise had returned to its original appearance, having clearly become the losing side in the final intense clash.

The short one-on-one came to a complete end.

Lokomoko, hiding in the corner, appeared quickly, raised his right hand and shouted: "Blastoise is unable to battle! All Baimu wins!"

The strength of the Pokémon on both sides was too powerful, causing him to spend a great deal of time just finding a safe position to watch the battle.

Having lost the match, there wasn't much regret on Siebold's face; instead, he showed a look of relief, seemingly quite satisfied with the result of the battle.

"Good work, Blastoise."

He recalled his trump card, stepped around the shattered arena, and walked toward All Baimu, who was pounced on by Milotic.

"Milotic~"

"Good~ good~ you are very amazing." ===== CHAPTER 1215 =====
