Chapter 1401
The two Champions left the field.
Countless reporters swarmed in, scrambling to conduct interviews.
"Player Leon! Congratulations on becoming the winner of the first round! May I ask what your evaluation of Player Diantha is?"
"Player Diantha! Your performance in this match was really great! Especially the battle between Mega Gardevoir and Rillaboom! But regarding the subsequent result, do you feel unwilling?"
Many questions were thrown out, and the Team Rocket trio was among them.
Their main target for questioning was Leon.
And before the match, Jessie was clearly very unhappy with Diantha, but after the match, she acted like she was looking for trouble with Leon, asking some tricky questions that made James and Meowth sweat on their foreheads.
Thanks to their quick wits, they squeezed Jessie out, otherwise, who knows what kind of broadcast accident would have occurred.
"Idiot! What are you doing!"
After the interview, James scolded: "If something happens, how can we explain it to All Baimu?"
Jessie turned her head and pouted: "I know I was wrong! Just unhappy seeing that guy."
"Meow..."
Meowth scratched its head helplessly.
It could probably understand Jessie's thoughts; this person saw Diantha use all her strength but still couldn't defeat Leon, thus associating it with herself, who missed out on being a movie star no matter how hard she tried.
Very inexplicable, right? But Jessie is just such a crazy personality.
They are neither high nor low now, really can't blame others, it's purely their own love of courting death.
After the interview session, the morning matches ended here.
The Masters Tournament probably only holds two matches a day, leaving enough preparation and rest time for the Champions.
At the same time, the organizers also have to repair the field; the destructive power of Gigantamax Pokémon is quite terrifying, if not repaired in time and left to be damaged, it is very likely to cause collapse events.
After all, under every arena that can Gigantamax, there is a warehouse storing Galar particles.
A few months ago, the Wyndon Stadium had a leak, causing a wild Drednaw to Gigantamax, thanks to Ash and Leon quickly defeating it, the scope of the disaster was controlled.
"Baby~~"
Returning to the preparation room, Diantha hugged An Xin'er and apologized: "Sorry, Mommy disappointed you~"
An Xin'er hurriedly shook her head, "No! It was already very amazing!"
Mother and daughter hugged and cried on the spot.
Thanks to no reporters following to chase shots, otherwise the headline wouldn't be Leon taking the first win of the first round, but "Diantha secretly married and had a daughter, tears shed on the field", "Who made our movie queen cry", etc.
Then it triggered a series of uproars.
It might even steal the heat that should have belonged to the Masters.
All Baimu looked at the two, then looked at Leon who walked over a step slower, "How do you feel?"
"Startled."
Leon spoke without avoidance about his feelings when the recall beam was blocked.
He smiled: "Presumably, the Trainers afterwards will become more cautious when switching Pokémon, right?"
Trainers in the anime background don't like switching, and after this battle, they probably won't like switching even more.
All Baimu was noncommittal; switching Pokémon looks simple but the knowledge is very deep, sometimes switching is not as good as not switching, at least in the anime background it is like this.
Next match, Lance vs. Ash.
Ash was not in the preparation room, Lance lifted his crimson cape and strode out.
Dragon Tamers are all proud, he had to plan for the upcoming battle.
Noon.
All Baimu had lunch with several Champions, Diantha lost the match, but didn't intend to leave directly.
"I want to see how far you can go."
Diantha said with a smile.
To some extent, losing the Masters Tournament made her feel regretful, but it also meant that the next few days were rest days, and she could stick with An Xin'er to her heart's content.
She really loved An Xin'er, not even letting go of her nap, sleeping together in a hug.
Time passed in a hurry.
The second round of matches followed one after another.
All Baimu looked out through the glass window, Lance and Ash were each in position, and Dan was reading the match rules in the center.
"Mr. Lance! The one who advances to the semi-finals will definitely be us!"
Ash couldn't help but issue a declaration of victory to Lance.
Lance smiled slightly, "Hmph... if you can do it, bring it on! Ash!"
The words fell.
Both sides sent out their first Pokémon.
"Go! Dragonite!"
"I choose you! Dracovish!"
Bang bang!
A flash of light passed.
Lance's Dragonite and Dracovish, newly cultivated by Ash during his journey, appeared.
Faced with the Champion's ace Pokémon, Dracovish, which looked quite strange, was not timid, but shouted very excitedly.
When Dan announced the start of the match, Ash immediately ordered confidently.
"Rush over! Ice Fang!"
"Wah!"
Dracovish yelled and rushed forward, its lower limbs kicking the ground to stir up dust, bone-chilling ice suddenly condensed in its mouth, its sharp teeth wrapped in a layer of crystal ice shell, the cold air swept through its whole body, carrying a sharp sound that tore through the air.
Lance naturally couldn't let Dragonite be bitten by Dracovish, especially since the opponent possessed the Strong Jaw ability, quadruple effectiveness plus ability enhancement, how could he underestimate the opponent?
"Twister! Blow it away!"
"Oh!"
Dragonite flapped its wings, which were quite small relative to its body size, the air currents around its body rotated crazily, an indigo tornado took shape, the wind wall carrying sand and air currents, forming a solid defensive barrier.
Dracovish didn't dodge or evade and hit it head-on, Ice Fang bit fiercely into the outer wind wall, ice and wild winds collided violently, ice chips splashing in the air currents!
Hiss hiss hiss——
Mist began to permeate the field, strange ice-blue lightning sparked out, the wild winds stirred up by Dragonite seemed to be continuously reduced, and ear-piercing shattering sounds echoed one after another.
But just when everyone thought Dracovish was about to break through, the tornado suddenly grew larger.
Just as Lance ordered, it blew the blockheaded Dracovish away.
"Woo!"
Dracovish sat on its butt, but it didn't have any major problems, still full of energy.
It's hard to imagine this was a Pokémon Ash had only cultivated for a year.
Lance was also very surprised, Twister was certainly not a high-power move, but it had a strong pushing force.
You know his Dragonite once used Twister to blow several trucks into the sky!
What tonnage are trucks?
How many kilograms is Dracovish?
"Really a good Dragon Pokémon!" Lance was very appreciative of Dracovish.
Undoubtedly, the top-level dragon obsession's favor for dragons is beyond ordinary people.
So faced with Dracovish's outstanding performance, Lance decided to use Dragonite's full strength!
Less than a minute into the start, he took out the Key Stone from his pocket, "Come on! My Dragonite!"
"Oh!!"
Dragonite raised its head and roared.
The audience erupted in loud shouts, and the host also called out: "Dragonite Mega Evolution! Player Lance is the first to hand over a system!!"
Ash's eyes were exceptionally bright, "It's here, it's here! Dragonite's Mega Evolution!"
He had long wanted to battle a Mega Evolved Dragonite, after all, he had a Dragonite of his own, and now seeing it, he felt he could die without regrets!
Hum!
Dazzling light wrapped around Dragonite, its sturdy body changed rapidly, white wing crowns similar to Dragonair's flight appeared on both sides of its head, its wings behind became small and exquisite, its tail became more slender, and a brilliant dragon jewel condensed at the tip.
In the blink of an eye, the sacred-looking Mega Dragonite appeared!
The large dragon jewel bloomed with dazzling brilliance, even the sun's light couldn't help but dim.
"Oh!!"
Mega Dragonite was completely formed, circling in mid-air, looking down at Dracovish below.
Compared to the battle with All Baimu the month before last, the current Mega Dragonite had completely mastered the power of Mega Evolution, and its strength had skyrocketed unprecedentedly.
A mere Dracovish could definitely not be its opponent!
"Dragonite, Hyper Beam!" Lance ordered quickly, launching the move Mega Dragonite was most familiar with.
Mega Dragonite inhaled deeply, a dazzling golden-red energy ball condensed in front of its chest, the next second, a thick Hyper Beam was fired, flying across half the field in the blink of an eye!
Even more surprisingly, this Hyper Beam suddenly turned in mid-flight, bypassing Dracovish and attacking from its side!
Ash, who subconsciously let Dracovish face the enemy with Water Gun, didn't expect it at all!
"Woo!?"
Boom! Bang!
A fierce explosion rose in the field, water mist permeated in mid-air, Dracovish's Water Gun was fired after all, but it failed to hit the current Mega Dragonite completely.
"Dracovish!"
Ash shouted.
Fortunately, Dracovish's durability was quite outstanding, although there were many scars on its body, it was not defeated by Mega Dragonite's Hyper Beam.
The host screamed: "A Hyper Beam that can turn! It's really hard to defend against!"
In the preparation room, All Baimu rubbed his chin, seeing the sweat on Ash's forehead due to nervousness, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's wrong?"
Diantha was confused by his laugh.
Iris went to the audience to experience the atmosphere, Leon went to take over Shanren's shift to continue busy with the League and matches, and Steven was nowhere to be found.
The huge preparation room was left with only him, Diantha, An Xin'er, and Cynthia.
Faced with three pairs of curious eyes, All Baimu said: "You'll understand if you keep watching, Ash is not an easy person to deal with."
Inside the field.
Lance ordered unhurriedly again, "Hyper Beam!"
"Roar!"
Mega Dragonite inhaled deeply again.
Ordinary Pokémon have a CD when using Hyper Beam, his Mega Dragonite doesn't, even after Mega Evolution, its power rose again.
Even Lance had researched a turning Hyper Beam, making this powerful attack even harder to defend against!
But he probably didn't expect that Ash had quite some experience in defending against things that were hard to defend against!
"Dracovish, lie down and rotate to use Water Gun!"
"Aw!"
Dracovish didn't hesitate to lie down, spinning itself like a top, then spraying a blue water column toward the sky.
The water column became distorted with its rapid rotation, then formed a wonderful water vortex, even if Mega Dragonite shot a turning Hyper Beam, it was firmly blocked, and even after the Water Gun spread, it whipped toward Mega Dragonite like a whip!
Bang bang!
Water mist erupted!
Diantha's eyes widened slightly, but Cynthia showed a knowing expression.
"This is probably Ash's original unique move, Counter Shield." She first met Ash during the Diamond & Pearl era, just when Ash created this tactic.
She naturally wouldn't feel unfamiliar with this move.
An Xin'er blinked, "Ash... so amazing!"
"Since you think it's amazing, learn from it properly, Ash has many places worth learning from."
All Baimu praised sincerely.
Ash's incredible point is that he can always give some whimsical ideas, and his Pokémon can complete them completely.
Water mist erupted in the field.
Lance found it hard to see where Dracovish was, just as he was about to order Mega Dragonite to use Hurricane, a familiar purple-red light flashed.
"This is——"
"It's our turn! Go! Di! Giga! Max!"
Before the smoke completely dissipated, Ash resolutely used his first system!
Gigantamax Dracovish!
The clear sky was covered by purple-red dark clouds again, accompanied by a roar like thunder, a Gigantamax Dracovish magnified hundreds of times broke through the fog and descended into the arena!
The host shouted: "Player Ash! Gigantamax Dracovish!!"
"Go! G-Max Draconic Crash!"
Ash clenched his fists and shouted loudly.
Gigantamax Dracovish roared in response, surging with azure dragon-type energy, they crazily rushed forward, as if to form a terrifying storm!
Lance naturally wouldn't let Mega Dragonite let the opponent attack, and shouted at the same time: "Go up! Tell it who is the master of Dragon Pokémon! Dragon Rush!"
"Oh oh!!"
Mega Dragonite shouted, its whole body burning with scorching dragon flames, rapidly expanding to form a giant flying dragon with teeth and claws!
At the same time, Gigantamax Dracovish's G-Max Draconic Crash had already taken shape, the earth-shaking azure energy storm swallowed the entire wide field, including the flame dragon formed by Mega Dragonite, the dragon wings covering the sky and sun kept circling with the storm's surge!
Boom——!!
In the deafening roar, the defensive barriers on the stands were activated for a long time, resisting the aftermath of the storm.
The audience looked at this scene admiringly, watching the flame dragon roaring and trying to break free in the storm, only feeling that buying a ticket to watch it on the spot was too worth it.
The momentum of the two Champions was vividly displayed through the moves of the two Pokémon!
A moment later.
The storm gradually subsided, the giant flying dragon burning with raging flames dissipated, revealing Mega Dragonite's slightly scarred body.
Blue light lit up on its body, this was the mark of attack reduction.
Lance was expressionless and continued to order: "It's our turn! Hyper Beam barrage!"
Relying on Mega Dragonite's faster startup speed, multiple golden-red Hyper Beams condensed in front of it continuously.
No longer single shots, but dense shots, and each one could turn flexibly, attacking Gigantamax Dracovish from all directions, striving to hit this Pokémon from all angles.
Ash wanted to attack again, but now he had to change his command, "Max Guard!"
Hum!
Multi-faceted pure white light shields appeared on Gigantamax Dracovish's body, blocking the opponent's continuous multi-angle Hyper Beams.
He looked at Mega Dragonite's posture, thinking that a precious opportunity could not be wasted like this.
"Max Hailstorm!"
Resist the next move, release Max Hailstorm!
?? ps: I thought Lance's Dragonite's Twister was already invincible, didn't expect there were masters!
? Dracovish! What is your Water Gun for!?
? Anyway, I didn't delete Twister, strengthened it a bit, I really couldn't help it with Water Gun, changed it to Water Gun.
