Chapter 1412: Ah! Money God Flower!

Everything seemed to return to the original starting point.

No.

The rain was still there.

Swish swish...

The fine rain lines were like silver curtains torn by invisible hands, densely covering the entire battle venue, without any intention of stopping.

Steven looked at the gorgeous Shiny Milotic in the distance, almost without any hesitation, quickly took out a Poké Ball and recalled Skarmory.

"It seems this is not an opponent you can solve."

Although it had just increased its speed through Agility, Steven had no nostalgia for this. What he was more worried about was that if he hesitated a little longer, the great opportunity for switching would be lost.

The host couldn't help but shout, "Steven switches first! What will his next one be?"

Switching Pokémon in less than three minutes after the start can be said to be the fastest one since the start of the Masters Eight Tournament, but the Champions all understood Steven at this time.

Ash in the audience said solemnly, "Actually used a tornado to rule the Hurricane in reverse..."

Among all the Champions, he was the one who was hit by the most Hurricanes during his matches, but he also understood the power of this move the best. In his view, the power used by Skarmory was only slightly inferior to the one he encountered.

Who would have thought that it would be cracked so easily by Shiny Milotic? It is hard to imagine how terrifying All Baimu's strength is now.

Bang!

Light bloomed.

Steven's second Pokémon—the Fossil Pokémon Cradily—appeared brilliantly.

This guy has eight pink tentacles and a turquoise body. The facial part of the head, which looks like a head, has a circle of round yellow eye spots, but these are not its eyes, but a kind of external camouflage.

"As expected."

All Baimu was not surprised by Steven's choice.

After all, this Cradily has a rare Hidden Ability—【Storm Drain】, which is the best choice for dealing with Water-type Pokémon.

However, Shiny Milotic is by no means an existence that has no output without STAB bonuses.

Therefore, the impact of Storm Drain on it is actually not particularly large.

"Light Screen."

All Baimu still didn't launch an attack first, very cautiously strengthening his defense.

Shiny Milotic raised its neck and sang, and transparent glass with flowing colors suddenly appeared in front of it, appearing and disappearing quickly.

Not far away, Steven's choice shocked the bystanders.

I saw him recall the Cradily that had just entered the venue, and the Dynamax Band on his wrist suddenly released purple-red light, continuously flowing into the Poké Ball.

"Come on! Dynamax!"

Dynamax at the start!?

Countless audiences felt it was incredible, including the host.

"Steven hands over Dynamax! It seems Milotic has brought him great pressure!"

However, All Baimu deeply agreed with his approach.

The characteristic of Dynamax is not just three attack opportunities, but more importantly, it can allow Pokémon to gain double HP, so as to withstand many forces that are originally difficult to withstand.

Using it at full state is undoubtedly the best return.

Hum!

Higher up in the overcast sky, purple-red clouds covered the sky.

As Steven threw the Poké Ball, Cradily entered the venue for the second time. In an instant, the dazzling crimson Dynamax light erupted, gushing out from Cradily's body, instantly enveloping its whole body!

Rumble—

Cradily's body size expanded rapidly visibly to the naked eye, from the original less than two meters tall body, instantly soaring to a giant posture of tens of meters!

The thick tentacles were like towering giant trees, towering into the rain clouds, and the exaggerated body size brought a majestic pressure that swept the entire venue, causing the little accumulated water on the ground to churn, splashing large areas of water.

"Cradily~~~!"

The Dynamax Cradily let out a long cry, and the continuous rain curtain was shaken away by this sound, which truly made people who looked up at it gasp.

Looking at Dynamax Pokémon from high and low is undoubtedly two different experiences. Although All Baimu didn't know how many times he had seen Dynamax, witnessing it with his own eyes again, he still couldn't help but feel a refreshing feeling from the bottom of his heart.

Big! Is good! Is beautiful!

"Cradily! Max Overgrowth!"

"Get close! Protect!"

The two ordered in unison.

Shiny Milotic rushed forward quickly, its body sticking to the ground, taking advantage of the slippery ground to approach the opponent quickly.

The giant body of Dynamax Cradily shook slightly, and eight tentacles gathered in front of its chest. In the blink of an eye, it condensed several seeds that were bigger than small cars and smashed them toward Shiny Milotic below!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The dull sounds continued one after another. Shiny Milotic moved left and right, relying on its excellent agility to dodge the giant seeds.

But as soon as they landed, they immediately grew into countless giant fluorescent green grasses and mushrooms as if they had taken root and sprouted.

Large areas of giant fluorescent green vegetation began to grow crazily on the ground. These fake plants, purely composed of Grass-type Dynamax energy, bloomed with unprecedented strong light, covering the entire venue!

In an instant, all the glowing plants were like bombs, releasing fiercely when Shiny Milotic propped up a fluorescent blue spherical light shield!

Rumble—!!

The dazzling light swallowed the vision of all the audience, making them close their eyes subconsciously.

And when they adapted to the dazzling brilliance, they suddenly saw that the fluorescent green light had covered the ground, turning it into 【Grassy Terrain】.

Under the action of this force, both Pokémon would tirelessly recover HP.

Shiny Milotic rushed forward with the broken Protect. The power of Dynamax moves is indeed extraordinary, even it couldn't defend well, but it was quite good to be able to defend a large half.

All Baimu also judged from the fact that Light Screen had no reaction when attacking that Dynamax Cradily should have used Max Overgrowth through physical moves.

This is normal.

First of all, Cradily is a dual-attacker Pokémon.

Secondly, Shiny Milotic used Light Screen in front of Steven, and there was Mirror Coat prepared. Steven would be crazy to use Max Overgrowth through special attack moves.

Moreover, if he didn't guess wrong, Steven's main purpose was to create Grassy Terrain, and there would be a next step.

——How can I let you get your wish!

"Hypnosis!"

All Baimu saw that the distance between the two sides was not particularly far, so he decisively let Shiny Milotic try to control this giant.

"Milotic~"

Shiny Milotic sang the lullaby again, fluorescent blue light swimming in its eyes, releasing pink-purple ripples forward.

Who would have thought that Steven had already predicted his idea, "Max Guard! Then knock it away!"

At the moment when the pink ripples were about to touch the Dynamax Cradily, it was as if the AT field in EVA took effect suddenly. Half-transparent hexagonal light shields blocked the hypnotic light waves outside.

At the same time, Dynamax Cradily stretched out its tentacles toward Shiny Milotic.

At this moment, the tentacles were like sunny giant pillars, falling down and heading straight for Shiny Milotic. The latter had to dodge, but these giant pillars were simply comparable to javelins magnified dozens of times, constantly hitting the ground and blasting out spiderweb-like cracks.

The host exclaimed, "Cradily is chasing and intercepting! Milotic is dodging nimbly!"

Soon, Shiny Milotic had dodged behind Dynamax Cradily, and in front of Steven.

Cradily is a Pokémon that is not good at moving, and it is even more difficult after Dynamax, but its head can fully rotate ninety degrees, so even if Shiny Milotic escaped here, it still didn't escape its sight.

Steven ordered quickly, "Go! Max Rockfall!"

"Cradily!!"

Dynamax Cradily shouted loudly, the ground in front of it suddenly bulged, and a huge rock mountain rushed out from underground. The rock block was earthy-brown, the surface was rough, and it was completely composed of Rock-type Dynamax energy, almost obscuring half the sky.

It didn't have any extra special effects, only carrying extreme weight and majestic impact, slamming down toward Shiny Milotic.

This move still had no reaction from Light Screen, obviously also a physical move.

It is difficult for All Baimu to see Shiny Milotic's state from the current angle through Dynamax Cradily's body, which does not prevent him from giving orders.

"Get on the opponent! Protect!"

"Milotic~"

Shiny Milotic's keen battle instinct had already made it approach Dynamax Cradily's body in advance, and at the same time, its body lit up with fluorescent blue light.

In an instant, the rain along the way was violently pushed away by a powerful airflow, forming visible white air waves, and the roar shook the entire venue.

The giant rock mountain suddenly disintegrated the moment it fell, the ground trembled in the deafening roar, as if it were about to collapse.

Countless gravel splashed like rain, slamming into the ground, splashing large areas of water and gravel chips.

Large areas of sand and mud rushed in all directions. Steven, who was very close, raised his hand to block. Thanks to the suit he was wearing being similar to the Magma suit, it had powerful protective capabilities, so he wasn't blown away by the shockwave created by Max Rockfall.

But even so, sand and mud water still stained his body.

Steven didn't notice this at all.

His current goal had been completely accomplished.

The clouds and rain in the sky were driven away by a powerful force, replaced by sky-filling yellow sand.

They shrouded the entire venue, and at the same time brought powerful special defense power to the Rock-type Cradily.

The light of Dynamax gradually detached from Cradily, and it returned to its original posture.

The host shouted, "Max Overgrowth! Max Rockfall! The swift two-hit combo created an excellent battle environment for Cradily!"

The sandstorm created by Dynamax moves was quite violent. The entire venue was obscured by flying sand and gravel at this moment, and the audience outside found it very difficult to observe the two Pokémon in the venue clearly.

An Xin'er nervously held Diantha's arm, "Aunt... Uncle All Baimu..."

"Don't worry, it's not a loss."

Cynthia smiled and touched her head.

Diantha nodded, "It seems that Steven took advantage, but in fact, All Baimu didn't lose at all."

Both of them had battled All Baimu, and knew very well that fighting this guy requires the strength to make a final decision.

Dynamax moves happen to have this effect.

Now that it was used by Steven to create an advantageous environment and reduce Milotic's HP... I just hope his subsequent tactics can fight All Baimu head-on.

Inside the venue where the sandstorm was raging.

Shiny Milotic was being eroded by sand and gravel, but its expression didn't become particularly painful because of this.

Including the previous two Dynamax moves, with the significant reduction effect of Protect, the damage caused to it was quite limited.

At least it didn't reach the level where it had to use Recover. Besides, with Grassy Terrain, no matter how violent the sandstorm is, it can recover through the green light on the ground.

More importantly, the distance between the two sides is very close at this moment.

"Milotic! Entangle the opponent! Attract!"

All Baimu's shout came from afar. Shiny Milotic didn't hesitate, flew and pounced to entangle with Cradily.

Hearing this, Steven shouted without hesitation, "Stockpile!"

"Cradily!"

Facing the love released by Shiny Milotic, Cradily quickly used the move on the spot, trying to improve its physical and special defense.

The next moment.

The love merged into its body, Cradily's hidden eyes turned into the shape of a heart, and then suddenly changed back to a clear posture, but changed back again soon.

Orange-yellow light lit up a step slower.

The host shouted, "Cradily has fallen into an infatuated state! It is difficult for it to launch an attack on Milotic again!"

Difficult, not impossible.

Steven trusted his Pokémon very much, so he turned a blind eye to its current state and continued to shout, "Ingrain!"

Opposite came All Baimu's shout first: "Draining Kiss!"

Milotic, which entangled Cradily, stabilized its figure, opened its mouth and let out a melodious sound wave. The sound wave carried a faint pink halo, spreading in the sandstorm.

Circles of fine ripples penetrated the dry air and sand and gravel, attacking Cradily's mental senses straight away.

Bang!

Smoke erupted!

"Cradily!!"

Cradily let out an extremely painful low cry. It wasn't that the damage of Draining Kiss was so high that it couldn't bear it, but the side effect of Draining Kiss.

Based on infatuation, it added confusion.

Infatuation plus confusion, Cradily at this moment can be said to be a turtle in a jar. Even with the multiple protections of sandstorm, Stockpile, Max Overgrowth, and Ingrain, it still has to bear the fierce attack from Shiny Milotic first.

Strike while the iron is hot!

"Open the distance! Milotic!" All Baimu shouted, Milotic suddenly let go of Cradily and quickly retreated toward where he was.

The host shouted in confusion, "Why did All Baimu recall Milotic? Ah! This is!"

I saw All Baimu raising his arm that was slightly releasing ice-blue fluorescent light, and at the same time doing mysterious movements.

Ash in the audience shouted excitedly, "Z-Move is here!"

Without a doubt.

Facing the meat shield blood cow type opponent who had fallen into a disadvantage, All Baimu decisively opened the big move, striving to kill this ghost thing in one hit!

"Let the opponent taste the power of extreme cold!"

The energy brilliance released by the Ice-type Z-Crystal enveloped All Baimu and Shiny Milotic, and also caused terrifying cold mist to condense around the two.

Steven's gaze passed through the sandstorm, spying on the opponent's actions, and shouted quickly, "Cradily! Use Protect!"

Cradily, which was currently affected by infatuation and confusion, felt dizzy and was quite slow to the Trainer's command, but it also slowly began to release it.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

All Baimu and Shiny Milotic moved extremely fast. A huge ice platform suddenly rose from under the latter's feet, and terrifying brilliance condensed in front of it, releasing a powerful beam toward Cradily, which was far away and unable to move, completely becoming a target!

"Go! Subzero Slammer!"

Rumble—!!

The ice-blue light beam pierced through the dust, instantly freezing Cradily, which was trembling slightly, cutting off its possibility of action! ===== CHAPTER 1413 =====
