Chapter 1171: Whoosh, snap, and it

An extra update for the big boss 【I dropped back to Diamond this new season】.

——————————

Su Hao's performance made the three of them even more certain of one thing.

After Carbink evolved, even its weak attack ability would improve. The few of them had no doubt that if that attack just now had been aimed at their Pokémon instead of the Trick Room, the power would have been enough to pierce through the Light Screen and cause damage.

The three looked at each other, the plan changed: attack Diancie with full force, then deal with the Fire-Kindled Tauros and Steelix!

Under Charlotte's command, Carbink proceeded with Iron Defense strengthening on its own, while Chesnaught picked up Carbink and moved quickly, holding it like a football player.

Aegislash charged ahead without hesitation.

At the same time, a heavy Iron Ball fell from its body. After dropping the Iron Ball, Aegislash's speed increased by a few notches, and even its movements became much more elegant.

Since the Trick Room had been manually banned by the opponent, there was no need to carry the item intended for speed reduction.

"Starting to launch an all-out attack?" Su Hao raised an eyebrow and waved his hand: "Then we shall accept it."

Under his command, Xiao Zijian and Cheng Liming clearly divided their duties, commanding Steelix and the Fire-Kindled Tauros to meet Aegislash and the others.

In terms of strength, both Xiao Zijian's Fire-Kindled Tauros and Cheng Liming's Steelix were on par with their opponents.

With little difference in strength, the level of Carbink and Diancie as support would determine the outcome of this battle.

Carbink, being carried by Chesnaught, summoned Rock Slide to crash down in an instant. It didn't need to cause damage; just being able to interfere with the opponent was enough.

However, Steelix and the Fire-Kindled Tauros didn't even lift their heads; they didn't take the Rock Slide seriously at all.

After all, their support was Diancie!

Diancie didn't change its expression as it summoned Power Gem to pierce through every rock falling from the sky. This scene made Charlotte's teeth itch.

This unhurried attitude—today, she would break it and see!

The next instant, when the charging Pokémon of both sides were about to intersect again, Chesnaught suddenly threw Carbink toward Diancie through the gap between Steelix and the Fire-Kindled Tauros. At the same time, it opened its Spiky Shield round shield, directly blocking in front of Aegislash to withstand the bombardment from Steelix and the Fire-Kindled Tauros.

Aegislash also took this opportunity to cherish the precious time, jumping straight into a fierce Swords Dance.

Cheng Liming and Xiao Zijian were a bit puzzled: why throw Carbink toward Diancie? Is it seeking death?

However, since Su Hao told them not to worry in the Aura channel, as long as they broke through Chesnaught's Spiky Shield, the two didn't react to this and continued to command Steelix and the Fire-Kindled Tauros to bombard Chesnaught.

Seeing the two completely ignore Carbink, which was flying rapidly toward Diancie behind them, Charlotte's mouth curled up slightly. Today, she would make the opponent pay for their arrogance!

"Aegislash has finished strengthening, its attack power is at its peak!"

Hearing Anthony's voice in her ear, Charlotte knew it was time and said decisively: "Carbink, Ally Switch!"

Suddenly, spatial fluctuations burst forth from Carbink and Aegislash. After a silent distortion, the audience was shocked to find that the positions of Carbink and Aegislash had been swapped out of thin air!!

Amidst a chorus of exclamations, Charlotte looked confidently at Su Hao. She just wanted to ask Su Hao: surprised? Unexpected?

After completing the swap, Carbink activated the Protect move and took the lead in blocking in front of Chesnaught, while Chesnaught, having gained a precious chance to catch its breath, used the Synthesis move without hesitation to restore its precarious stamina.

On the stands, Liao Xingchen touched his chin, lost in thought.

"So that's it. Heavenly King François, your contestant's Carbink has good talent for space, which is why it could learn the Ally Switch move, which is difficult for non-Psychic-type Pokémon to learn. Relying on this move, she and Carbink are well-deserved T0 support in 3v3 team battles."

"Dual screens, Trick Room, wide-range move harassment, Ally Switch—you dug her out specifically for the main tournament, right?"

François

nodded reservedly, a look of pride on his face: "As expected of Champion Liao Xingchen, ranked first in the World Championships, your sharp eyes are amazing. That's right, this is our trump card tactic. Carbink's Ally Switch can perfectly utilize the offensive and defensive Aegislash, and then use Chesnaught's defensive ability to transition. In tests within the French Alliance, few teams have been able to crack this move."

"Look, Aegislash, strengthened by Swords Dance, has transformed into Blade Form. Using the Brick Break move, it will definitely be able to break the Reflect wall and complete the offensive task. The Shenzhou Alliance team is indeed very strong, but when strength is on par, tactics become especially important."

"Checkmate, Liao Xingchen."

Liao Xingchen smiled and said unhurriedly: "The situation on the battlefield changes in an instant. Don't speak so definitively until the very end, okay?"

Marshadow, in the shadow at Liao Xingchen's feet, stopped teasing Carbink and looked with pity at Aegislash, whose blade was slashing toward Diancie.

Good guy, who would you rather fight than go one-on-one with Diancie? The combat power isn't even on the same level. Are young people these days so fierce?

Aegislash's blade was not like before, completely unable to break the Reflect wall; instead, relying on the counter-effect of the Brick Break move against the Reflect wall, it slowly but firmly broke through the Reflect wall.

This process would take about a few seconds.

Observing the opponent's movements, Su Hao understood. He was wondering why that woman looked at him with such confidence; it turned out there was such a tactic.

Admittedly, a Reflect wall will definitely shatter at the touch of a Brick Break move, even if it is this Reflect wall containing a small amount of radiance power created by Diancie.

But everything must be based on magnitude. A Novice-level Pokémon's Brick Break definitely cannot break a Heavenly King-level Pokémon's Light Screen. Regardless of move compatibility, the gap in strength cannot be ignored.

Crack—

Under the joyful eyes of Charlotte and the others, the Reflect wall in front of Diancie began to shatter, and after a moment, it dissipated into points of light.

Diancie's Reflect wall was broken by Aegislash!

And at this time, Aegislash's Steel-type move targeting Diancie was also ready to go.

Patting the shoulders of Cheng Liming and Xiao Zijian, who were looking over with worry, Su Hao and Diancie maintained the same calm expression and said: "It's not working, the purity is still too low."

As if to echo Su Hao's words, a massive Reflect wall, far exceeding the scale and strength of the previous one by several times, instantly opened in front of Diancie. This could no longer be called a Reflect wall; even Aegislash's King's Shield could not compare to it.

Aegislash's attack, which could probably seriously injure Steelix in one hit, could not cause a single ripple in the wide-range Reflect wall deployed by Diancie.

Diancie's off-the-charts defensive ability stunned the audience around the world.

Such a sudden turn of events left Charlotte and the three of them with expressions of disbelief. Su Hao would not give them a chance to react and immediately said: "Meteor Beam!"

Regardless of anything else, let's take one out first.

The extremely brilliant meteor ray began to converge. Charlotte was, after all, a leader of the younger generation of the French Alliance, and she still reacted, shouting sharply: "Ally Switch!"

No matter what, Aegislash cannot be eliminated here.

This time, it wasn't Carbink and Aegislash swapping. After the spatial distortion, Chesnaught, who had been using Spiky Shield with full concentration and whose stamina had recovered to its peak under Synthesis, stood ready.

But the power of the Meteor Beam Diancie was charging exceeded its imagination. The moment it made contact, Spiky Shield began to dissolve. The next second, a terrifying torrent of energy engulfed Chesnaught, directly blasting it into mid-air.

Chesnaught fell powerlessly to the ground and didn't move for a long time in the center of the silent arena.

This meant Chesnaught was... one-shotted by Diancie!

Under the wide-eyed gaze of Charlotte and the three of them in shock, Su Hao blushed and scratched his head shyly, saying: "Although we are support, isn't defeating the opponent to protect teammates also something an excellent support should do?"
