Chapter 797: Bullying Kiawe

This territory of Alola.

In All Baimu's view, those who could be called powerful could be counted on one hand.

Kiawe...

Kiawe was even worse than Gladion.

This young man might have had a trend of becoming Ash's rival in the early stages, but by the middle and late stages, he had completely degenerated into a comic relief character and a daily sparring partner.

After the Manalo Conference started, he didn't even manage to meet Ash and was eliminated by Gladion.

Looking at so many seasons, which of Ash's rivals hadn't met him in the League Conference?

It could be seen that Kiawe's positioning, like his strength, was very awkward.

"Kiawe, go for it!"

"Kiawe! Let All Baimu see the strength of an Alolan Trainer!"

"Go for it!"

"Pika!"

"Ma-chu-chu!"

"Kon~"

At the edge of the field, Ash and the group of boys and girls and Pokémon were full of energy, cheering for Kiawe.

And inside the empty field.

Kiawe, shirtless, held a Poké Ball, his eyes seemingly burning with fire.

"Please treat me well!" His voice was extremely loud, attracting many other students to watch from the second and third floors of the teaching building.

All Baimu nodded and laughed: "You too, please treat me well."

The battle mode was a standard single one-on-one.

If he wasn't mistaken, given the gap in strength between the two sides, it was highly likely the battle could end in one move, but that would be too much like bullying a child.

All Baimu gradually began to understand Cynthia, who let her Garchomp stand there and take hits.

What is the demeanor of a Champion?

Standing there and letting you hit, if you don't succeed when given the chance, then I'll take you out. This back-and-forth successfully avoided outsiders saying anything about bullying the weak.

"I leave it to you! Turtonator!"

Kiawe threw the ball forward.

Bang!

"Ka-me-shu!"

A giant crocodile turtle with a spiked shell landed.

Turtonator, the Blast Turtle Pokémon, Fire and Dragon type.

That's right.

It was another Pokémon that didn't look much like a dragon but was actually "you count as a dragon too."

It was as outrageous as the other kind that Alola produced in abundance, written as Alolan Exeggutor and read as Dragon-Egg Tree.

It really was this guy!

All Baimu grumbled inwardly.

Kiawe had three Pokémon in total, among which Charizard was his grandfather's Pokémon; although powerful, it was rarely taken out by him to battle. By comparison, Turtonator was more to his liking.

Besides that, there should also be an Alolan Marowak that he had just caught not long ago.

"Since the opponent is a Dragon, we should naturally use a Dragon too."

He turned his head to look at the Hydreigon beside him, which was eager to try, and laughed: "I know you want to go, I leave it to you."

"Sha-sang!"

Hydreigon excitedly flapped its wings and stepped forward.

Although it didn't like bullying weak opponents, it was keen on performing teaching battles with its Trainer—

This was the duty of an ace!

"Are you ready?"

Professor Kukui acted as the temporary referee, looked at the people and Pokémon standing at both ends, waved his hands, and shouted: "Battle start!"

Kiawe reacted intensely, shouting at the start: "Turtonator! Dragon Tail!"

Hearing this, Turtonator immediately lowered its body, and a verdant light shone from its spiked tail.

Then the verdant color turned into a brilliant golden-red, and its tail suddenly expanded several times over.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind was constant.

Turtonator spun like a spinning top, and the expanded golden-red tail formed a dazzling ring of light around it.

"Ka-me-shu!"

Amidst a low roar, the golden-red "spinning top" flew toward Hydreigon.

Who would have thought that Hydreigon wouldn't dodge or evade, letting Turtonator swing its golden-red tail and rush toward it, only suddenly rising at the moment the latter approached.

What a thrilling scene!

The distance between the two Pokémon at that time was probably less than ten centimeters, and even the Dragon-type energy on Turtonator's tail had reacted.

As a result, it was still dodged by Hydreigon.

How could the onlookers not be surprised?

It was just that they didn't have time to express any emotion, and Hydreigon, having avoided Turtonator's attack, had a counter-move.

"Dragon Breath."

"Sha-sang!"

Hydreigon's three mouths opened simultaneously, and indigo flames hit Turtonator's back like a pillar of fire, suppressing the big fire-red turtle onto the ground like Godzilla's atomic breath!

Boom!

Flames and smoke billowed up!

"Turtonator!"

Kiawe widened his eyes, calling out to his Pokémon.

Seeing the small to know the big.

He had imagined that Hydreigon would counterattack or dodge, but he hadn't expected the final action taken to be a risky move, seeking a split-second opportunity to dodge and counter.

Wasn't it afraid of flipping over?

Although from the result, Hydreigon had indeed succeeded...

Showing off!

Definitely showing off!

While shocked, Kiawe also felt a mix of admiration and curiosity, and the scene just now had already proven that there was a huge chasm between the two.

The smoke in the field quickly dissipated.

Turtonator stood in place, panting, its brow full of solemnity and exhaustion.

"Ka... me..."

That moment just now.

It almost thought it was going to fall.

Fortunately, most of the dragon flames hit its turtle back, which could be considered to have shared some of the damage for its main body inside the shell.

And as a Trainer, Kiawe knew very well what state Turtonator was in at any given time.

He really didn't expect that he almost didn't even last a single round.

Even with Turtonator standing here right now, there was a probability that the opponent was holding back.

No.

It wasn't a probability.

He looked at Hydreigon in mid-air, which had absolutely no intention of pressing the attack, and then looked at All Baimu opposite, who looked calm and relaxed; the guy might as well have written "Attack me as you please, if you hit me, I lose" on his face.

Hey!

Kiawe, still a teenager, was a bit unconvinced.

He admitted there was a gap between the two sides, but he wasn't a soft persimmon to be kneaded and flattened by others!

Since normal moves couldn't take him down—

What about your Z-Move!?

"Come on! Turtonator!"

He crossed his hands, not intending to waste the opportunity using other moves.

And this move surprised everyone outside the field.

"Is Kiawe preparing to use a Z-Move already?"

"So fast!"

"This is only the second round!"

The Sun and Moon protagonist group spoke one after another.

Ash's face was full of irrepressible smiles, "All Baimu has become even more powerful! I really want to battle him right now!"

"Pika-pi!"

Pikachu nodded in agreement.

Inside the field.

The Z-Ring released a bright radiance, and Kiawe danced while shouting: "Release! My whole body! Whole heart! Full power!"

Burning flames blazed on his body, then turned into stars shooting toward Turtonator, causing a brilliant radiance to bloom on the latter.

"Ka-me-shu!"

A light seal symbolizing Z-power flashed by.

In an instant.

A terrifying fireball rapidly expanded in front of Turtonator, and after a few seconds, its diameter exceeded five meters, the high temperature causing the air to distort!

It was like the sun descending!

Kiawe shouted: "Inferno Overdrive!"

"Ka-me——!!"

Boom!!

A huge fireball like the sun flew toward Hydreigon, its speed exceeding most of the moves it had encountered before.

Plus the exaggerated scale of 【Inferno Overdrive】, there was simply no possibility of dodging.

However.

It didn't need to dodge either.

Hydreigon felt the terrifying high temperature close at hand, but instead of being afraid, it showed an extremely excited smile.

Boom——!!

Amidst a deafening roar, the bursting white light swallowed everything.

A terrifying mushroom cloud slowly rose.

The strong wind carried smoke and dust, spreading in all directions, forcing Lana and Mallow to raise their arms to cover themselves, while Lillie covered her hat with one hand and pressed down her flying skirt with the other.

"Kiawe's Z-Move is getting more and more powerful!"

Sophocles screamed, hugging Togedemaru to prevent the little ball-like thing from being blown away.

Lillie explained: "After suffering a loss in Kanto last time, Kiawe has been practicing Inferno Overdrive hard, so it's not surprising that the power has increased."

Lana covered her mouth and complained: "So choking, so hot..."

She was a water girl who liked rain and hated heat.

Mallow stared into the field, more concerned about the result of Hydreigon being hit by Inferno Overdrive.

Because...

She had a bad premonition.

The premonition was soon fulfilled.

Pikachu, who was watching the field, looked into the air and shouted: "Pika-pi!"

The sound fell.

The smoke was fanned away by pitch-black feathered wings, and Hydreigon, which looked almost "unscathed" from the outside, remained in place without any deviation.

Ash's mouth opened wide, "Again!"

"How is that possible!?"

Kiawe's mentality was about to explode.

A few days ago, he had just seen a super Steelix take a full Z-Move, but at least it had some damage; this time he actually met one that took a Z-Move and was completely fine!

Is the Z-Move outdated? Can't keep up with the version?

Too outrageous!

"Ka-me-shu..."

Turtonator looked at the leisurely Hydreigon, panting heavily, unable to help but widen its eyes.

Brother, aren't you a bit too much?

Cheating?

If you're cheating, just say so!

"The power is actually okay, what you lack is hard strength in terms of energy level, simply put—insufficient battle experience."

All Baimu saw this dark-skinned young man looking hopeless and explained with a smile: "You battle too little."

Kiawe came back to his senses and muttered: "Battle too little..."

"That's right, wait until you've accumulated ten thousand—no, five thousand battles, and then battle me, the situation will be much better."

As he spoke, he crossed his hands over his chest and laughed: "Courtesy demands reciprocity, get ready to receive a move, young man."

Hum!

Brilliant radiance shone from the Z-Ring, and a bat-shaped light seal flashed by.

"Z-Move!"

Kiawe's heart tightened. Seeing All Baimu bend down and then stand up, the Z-Move dance moves were smooth and rapid, and at the same time, a pink-purple light flame rose from under his feet, he knew there was no possibility of stopping it.

He hurriedly shouted: "It's coming! Turtonator!"

"Ka-me-shu!"

Turtonator immediately prepared to receive the attack.

The onlookers outside the field held their breath. On one hand, they were surprised by the ineffectiveness of Inferno Overdrive, and on the other, they were shocked that All Baimu used a Z-Move so decisively.

In an instant.

A ghostly purple light flame burned on Hydreigon in mid-air, and the Z-power light seal appeared and disappeared.

"Black Hole Eclipse."

All Baimu raised his hands and said with a full smile.

"Sha-sang!"

Hydreigon roared and raised its three heads. A dark sphere covered in blood-red light and surrounded by wild thunder rapidly condensed, and the sky suddenly turned gloomy.

It was as if night had descended.

Black lightning covered by blood-red light filled the sky, overriding the field!

Although it didn't have the exaggerated momentum of Inferno Overdrive.

But the pressure it brought to the mind due to the change in the sky was not something Inferno Overdrive could compare to.

And when it turned into a terrifying vortex like a black hole with a blood-red center, endless suction poured out, and even a Pokémon of Turtonator's weight couldn't resist, being forcibly pulled off the ground!

Even Kiawe, who was far from the move, Professor Kukui, the referee at the edge of the field, and Ash and the others watching from outside felt like they were about to fly away.

Causing many smaller Pokémon to immediately hug their Trainers' legs.

What a huge range of impact!

"Turtonator! Use Protect!"

Kiawe's expression was serious, betting everything on this move.

Unfortunately, Turtonator was too far behind Hydreigon, and the spherical blue light shield that lit up was instantly squeezed crazily by a powerful force.

Then.

Bang!

With a crisp sound like glass shattering, Protect was completely destroyed. Turtonator was sucked into the center point of Black Hole Eclipse, and the blood-red light waves distorted, squeezing all energy toward it.

"Ka-me-shu——"

Turtonator only had time to let out a painful roar before being covered by the terrifying rumbling sound and the sky-filling smoke and dust brought by the Z-Move explosion.

Kiawe shouted worriedly: "Turtonator!!"

Fortunately.

It quickly broke through the smoke and fell down, hitting the ground with a bang.

"Ka-mi..."

Turtonator whimpered, revealing dizzy swirl eyes.

Seeing this, Professor Kukui decisively raised his hand and announced: "Turtonator is unable to battle! Hydreigon wins!"

There was silence inside and outside the field.

Even the knowledgeable Ash didn't express anything, immersed in the terrifying scene of Black Hole Eclipse just now.

"Is the Dark-type Z-Move actually this powerful?"

"Pika!"

"I don't think it's a problem with Darkium Z, it's a problem with your friend." Sophocles, as the intelligence representative, knew very well that the power of a Z-Move came from the Pokémon.

The stronger the Pokémon, the stronger the Z-Move naturally used.

He once suspected that the Island Kahuna's Z-Move wasn't as exaggerated as just now.

Mallow widened her emerald eyes and asked: "Mr. All Baimu, he just got the Z-Ring not long ago, right?"

Lillie nodded: "Yes. But I think Kiawe and Turtonator have already tried their best..."

Lana said seriously: "Even more powerful than a Gym Leader, a Champion?"

Inside the field.

All Baimu called back Hydreigon and walked toward Kiawe, who was squatting beside Turtonator, full of doubt about life, and reached out with a smile: "No need to be discouraged, victory and defeat are common in military affairs."

Kiawe hesitated and held his hand, being pulled up, "But..."

"But what? Losing just proves you still have room to grow, you should feel happy. Your Turtonator is well-trained, with a tough personality and high execution."

He looked at Turtonator, who was slowly waking up, and slowly stroked this silly big turtle, "But as I said, you lack battle experience. Wanting to become stronger isn't just about training alone, you have to actively battle people. Fight hundreds or thousands of battles."

Kiawe felt dizzy hearing this, hundreds or thousands?

Did he have that time while having to take care of the farm at home?

"No need to rush, taking it slow is fine too, you're still very young." All Baimu seemed to see through what he was worried about and said casually while looking at the long spikes on Turtonator's back.

Want to touch.

What to do?

Mere Shell Trap, touching it shouldn't kill me. ===== CHAPTER 798 =====
