Chapter 999: Champion Born!!

"Li-duo..."

The pure white knight looked at the opponent solemnly, with a sharp spirit between its brows that couldn't be blocked.

Swish!

The cape swung.

It was truly majestic!

But this couldn't stop the black energy from appearing on its body.

Wally frowned: "..."

Kappu Xiong Xiong shouted: "Taunt status! Gallade will be unable to use status moves! Times have changed! There aren't many opportunities left for Player Wally!"

In the first half, All Baimu's Pokémon were continuously Taunted.

In the second half, it was Wally's turn.

And for the Psychic-type, which had abundant status move reserves, the consequences were more serious than imagined.

Not to mention the situation was clearly unfavorable for Mega Gallade—

Attacks were ineffective!

With its output ability, it could easily cut through cliffs after Swords Dance, but it could only leave a few shallow scratches.

Was this really caused by itself?

"Sacred Sword! Use speed to find a breakthrough!"

Wally shouted.

Zong!

Mega Gallade flew past at the sound, the speed added by Tailwind was still so fast.

Hum!

Light shone.

Two sharp 【Sacred Swords】 bloomed from its elbows.

The brownish-red light blades were like jade, emitting a crystal-clear luster.

"Gu-roar..."

Mega Aggron remained calm, letting it approach, and applied continuous slashes like a storm to all parts of its body, including its chest, back, feet, giant tail, and the back of its head!

Clang clang clang clang clang—

Sparks flew, crisp sounds continued!

Mega Gallade's double blades were as fast as shadows, the blade storm continuously cutting through the chest, back, feet, giant tail, and the back of its head, each strike raising a biting wind.

The wide cape rustled with its fast movements, like a pair of clean white wings.

However.

It also seemed exceptionally pale and powerless.

The scattered Sacred Swords were no different from scraping, as if using a small knife to prick a main battle tank, completely unable to cause sufficient effective damage.

This guy had no weak points all over its body!

The long-term continuous attacks made Mega Gallade's arm blades feel numb.

Finally, after a sudden lift of breath.

"Li-duo!"

Clang!

Sparks exploded!

Mega Gallade flew backward.

The old strength was exhausted and the new strength hadn't been born; relying on speed advantages to flexibly Mobile Corps Commander, only then would there be a chance to take down this guy with exaggerated defense.

However.

Mega Aggron didn't intend to let it leave.

After a series of operations by the opponent, only a crack the length of a thumb was left, yet it was the fiercest blow.

Its disappointment was beyond words.

"Gu——roar!!"

The thunderous angry roar resounded through the universe, and the shining light-silver heavy armor didn't know when it began to shine with variegated luster!

Mega Gallade felt something was wrong and accelerated its retreat.

But before that, high-energy fluctuations flashed suddenly, like a huge bomb triggering a fuse and exploding suddenly!

"Metal Burst."

Boom!!

A thunderclap in the clear sky, the visible bright silver shockwave and dust swept through most of the wasteland arena!

Mega Aggron had actually returned the damage Mega Gallade gave it, doubled!

"Counter-attacking Metal Burst! Compared to the previous offensive, currently Aggron seems to be tending toward defense?"

Kappu Xiong Xiong's confusion lingered in the hearts of many spectators.

Mega Gallade, who was shaken by the shockwave, stood up slowly; it had raised its cape in time, so the damage received wasn't serious.

It was just that the contemptuous look not far away really made it very uncomfortable.

The other party seemed to be saying—

'Look.'

'This is your Sacred Sword, how ridiculous.'

The power of 【Metal Burst】 was based on the damage received; being able to be easily blocked by the cape could only prove that the damage it gave Mega Aggron was negligible.

Mocked again!

The Steadfast ability maintained a calm train of thought.

But... so angry!

Mega Gallade retracted its arm blades; it hadn't fought such a stifling battle in a long time.

"Slowly accumulate damage! Use Psycho Cut!"

Wally stabilized his mind and acted after planning.

Swish swish swish!

Mega Gallade slashed through the void, and numerous pink-purple light blades shot out!

【Psycho Cut】 had an additional effect of being easy to hit critical points.

And hitting critical points ignores the opponent's ability changes.

In other words.

It was armor-piercing!

It was just that this kind of long-range attack looked fierce, but in reality, there was no possibility of hitting at all.

"Dark Pulse."

"Gu-roar!!"

Mega Aggron opened its big mouth and instantly spat out countless black-dot-shaped light clusters, shattering all the flying pink-purple light blades!

Bang bang bang!

The sky was filled with dust!

Kappu Xiong Xiong shouted loudly: "Psycho Cut that opened the range! But it had no effect! Gallade's various means couldn't do anything to Aggron!"

The audience cheered and applauded, casting expectant gazes one after another.

It's time to counterattack!

Show powerful strength and take down the opponent!

As if responding to everyone's expectations.

All Baimu began to command: "Sand Tomb."

"Roar!"

Mega Aggron roared and moved forward.

Vast yellow sand surged around its body, and after it formed a terrifying storm, it approached Mega Gallade step by step!

Whoosh!

Sand and gravel blew, forming a sand wall that intercepted the arena horizontally.

The range of influence was so large that it could be called inescapable.

"Use Vacuum Wave to blow it open!"

Wally naturally wouldn't allow the sand wall to approach; Mega Gallade drank low and slashed crosswise, shaking up invisible fluctuations.

Long!

The sand wall suddenly presented a cross-shaped depression!

Wally's Gallade was indeed focused on the physical attack route, unlike Aggron who wanted both, but it was still very easy to scatter a mere Sand Tomb!

However.

Even if the sand wall was shattered.

It still couldn't stop the opponent from gradually approaching his side, step by step, invisible and heavy.

There weren't many opportunities left for himself.

"..."

Wally realized very clearly that All Baimu and Mega Aggron had brought him unprecedented pressure.

Even after the Silver Conference.

He went to participate in the Johto Champion League and fought fiercely with the powerful Elite Four, but he had never had such a feeling.

Champion?

Wally had some realization, looked at the huge figure looming in the sandstorm, and a bright arc suddenly hooked at the corner of his mouth.

"My wish is to become your rival."

He whispered.

He had never forgotten the original motivation for setting off again, wanting to become All Baimu's rival and compete for the Orre Champion together.

Now the goal had been achieved.

He seemed to have reached the time to leave the stage...

No!

It wasn't over!

The Orre Champion wasn't only decided by the tournament; even if All Baimu sat on the throne, he would need to accept challenges from others in the future.

Including his challenge!

Wally's eyes seemed to pass through the sand wall and see his good friend standing in the distance.

Why did Mega Aggron only attack actively until now?

Because All Baimu was looking forward to it.

Looking forward to his performance!

Wally suddenly pulled off his bowtie and took off his formal wear, leaving only the vest lining, rubbing and blowing his hairstyle to make it return to its original shape.

"This is the real me, the fragile and messy me."

He looked at Mega Gallade and said: "I'm always troubling you, relying on you, and I think it will be the same in the future. Thank you! Gallade! Thank you all!"

A frail youth from a small town.

With the help of Pokémon, he embarked on the path of a Trainer, with laughter and embarrassment.

The journey wasn't smooth.

Dragged down by his body, his Pokémon often had to put in many times more effort.

But they always supported him, without complaint or regret.

When lost, when lonely, when disappointed, there were always Pokémon silently guarding him.

The greatest luck in Wally's life was meeting partners who resonated with his soul.

And a rival.

Was the goal that drove him forward.

What Wally disliked most was letting those who expected him to be disappointed!

Break through!

Break through the limits! Transcend the limits!

Cut open that indestructible copper wall and iron fortress, and try to touch the final victory!

"Everyone, grant me strength. Let our will turn into an indestructible blade!"

He closed his eyes, holding an invisible blade in his hand.

Mega Gallade also closed its eyes, and the arm blades on both sides emitted a faint glow.

The next moment.

As if the soul was burning.

Hum!

Golden flames attached to the edges of the arm blades, extending outward to form two brilliant light blades!

The unprecedented scene aroused Kappu Xiong Xiong's surprise.

"This is? What is this?"

"Ha."

All Baimu and Mega Aggron's faces revealed smiles at the same time.

Waited for it!

Wally really wasn't such a boring Trainer!

"Prepare to intercept! Maximum power Heavy Slam—"

He shouted for the first time, the big monster roared in response, and its whole body bloomed with shining bright silver radiance!

As if sensing it.

Wally and Mega Gallade opened their eyes suddenly, looking directly at the Mega Aggron that was ready to go, with neither fear nor urgency in their eyes.

Just said in an unprecedentedly serious voice:

"This is my emotion, my everything! Witness it! Our full strength (Ai-lu)——"

"Sacred Sword (Li-duo)!!"

In an instant.

Golden radiance penetrated the arena!

Colliding with the silver light that rushed over suddenly, causing the air at the intersection to twist with a sharp whistle, and then the strong light surged and exploded suddenly!

Boom——rumble rumble rumble!!

The earth shook!

The terrifying strong light sufficient to blind, accompanied by a loud noise that would tear people's eardrums, acted on the arena together.

The terrifying shockwave carried majestic smoke and dust to cover everything in the arena, forming a rising mushroom cloud of explosion.

Countless gravel flew around, falling into pits outside the arena, fortunately all blocked by the protective barrier.

But before the audience could shout and gasp for this.

More intense golden-silver dual-colored light flames were like two sharp swords piercing the huge smoke clouds!

Everyone could see inside the arena, at the edge of a deep pit, Mega Gallade and Mega Aggron were still fighting!

Long!!

The earth trembled continuously, almost unable to support the collision of the two terrifying energies, constantly shattering and shaking up stones.

It also made everything in the arena look exceptionally blurred.

The center point of the energy collision.

Mega Gallade's arm blades cut into Mega Aggron's heavy armor, as if it would split it in half in the next second.

"Li-duo!!"

It and the Wally behind it let out a silent shout together, and the golden light flames shone instantly like stars!

In a trance.

The light blade stuck on the outside began to deepen inward.

"Gu-roar."

A calm voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, thick metallic claws grabbed the arm blades, making them unable to advance even an inch.

In the eyes of the opponent full of disbelief.

Mega Aggron exerted force suddenly, forcibly pulling out the light blade that had penetrated the chest armor, and the silver light around its body surged by one point with every breath.

It looked at Mega Gallade with appreciative eyes.

Not bad.

Able to cause such damage.

You are the second one.

It's just a pity that in this era, it belongs to me!

"Gu——roar!!"

Mega Aggron stepped with heavy steps, and under the gaze of countless eyes, it was completely shrouded in the silver light lingering around its body, rushing toward the deep pit left earlier at an extremely fast speed!

Boom——!!

Silver radiance rushed into the sky! Spreading across the firmament!

The audience's line of sight was once again disturbed by the terrifying strong light, and the roar resounded in their ears.

Just that moment.

Mega Aggron's invincible figure was firmly engraved in everyone's heart.

This day.

Even if a long, long time passed.

It would be recalled whenever they saw any Gallade or Aggron, or even Steel-type moves.

Kappu Xiong Xiong stopped speaking.

The long blank space allowed the audience to fully enjoy this shock from the bottom of their hearts.

The silver light faded.

Inside the smoke-filled arena, the multi-angle cameras flew around, filming the scene under the lens onto the big screen.

The whole venue was exceptionally quiet, and the people sending bullet comments on the internet became fewer.

All Baimu and Wally looked down, and although they had long known the result, habit made them wait for the final declaration.

Only to see in the wasteland arena cross-junction, in the deep pit caused by Altaria's fall earlier.

"Gu-roar..."

Mega Aggron walked out of it slowly, gradually lifting the Mega Evolution state.

And behind it, Gallade lay face up in a "big" shape, its eyes replaced by black circles.

The winner was decided!

The referee approached quickly and raised the flag in his hand fiercely.

"Gallade is unable to battle! Aggron wins! Player Wally's six Pokémon have all fallen! Player All Baimu wins!"

"The winner is decided! Orre Assembly final full battle, the final winner is—"

"Player All Baimu!!"

Kappu Xiong Xiong's shout echoed continuously over the arena.

Won!

All Baimu and Aggron looked at each other, tacitly raised their right fists to the sky, looked proudly in all directions, and welcomed the cheers from the audience!

Wally sighed with regret, but also smiled and applauded lightly.

Wow——!!

Cheers, shouts, screams, and applause mixed together, the fanatical people jumped, congratulating this pair of strongest combinations for winning the final victory like a mountain of cheers and a sea of shouts.

And.

Celebrating the birth of the new champion!

In the short half a month, they witnessed what it meant to be a king, watching a Trainer defeat all powerful enemies and reach the supreme throne of the Orre region!

In the live stream room, the words "King" and "Aggron" scrolled wildly.

The Orre League showed the world the gold content that the first Assembly should have.

Trainers from all over the world also gave the Orre League Assembly the popularity it should have!

Bang bang bang bang bang——

Countless salute cannons exploded toward the sky, ribbons fluttered in the sky, solemn symphonies played, and the sacred fire of Ho-Oh surged suddenly!

Above the venue.

Brilliant radiance shone for ten thousand miles, countless spectators looked up in astonishment, surprisingly seeing the Abundant Harvest Pokémon riding a white horse, overlooking the world.

It said:

'Congratulations to Orre!'

As the words fell, countless flowers flew from the firmament, turning the arena into an ocean of flowers!

"Calyrex! It's Calyrex!"

Fifty thousand plus spectators stood up, either excitedly or admiringly, paying tribute to the Abundant Harvest Pokémon, one of the wonders of the world.

The multi-angle cameras recorded all of this.

Preparing to store it in the Hall of Fame of the Orre League, placed in the most conspicuous position.

Let future generations remember this moment, remember—

【The beginning of a new era】. ===== CHAPTER 1000 =====
