Chapter 968

Blaziken's figure was as swift as the wind, attacking Milotic's body crazily at a dazzling speed. For a moment, it seemed as if Blaziken had suppressed Milotic!

Milotic felt the constant impact from its body, while maintaining the repair of Aqua Ring, a look of surprise appeared in its pupils.

Blaziken's speed, after a period of stacking... seemed to be faster than Dragapult's Dragon Darts?

Although the attack power was worlds apart, this Blaziken was indeed powerful. Maintaining such high-speed attacks had already exceeded the recovery speed of Aqua Ring. If it continued to fight like this, it might really be seriously injured.

"Maybe... at least I can win against this Milotic?"

After going off the field, Dai Wu's eyes lit up. The weakness that the giant water snake's actions were not agile was also reflected in Milotic. Even though it initially flew into the sky, it was still knocked down by Blaziken, who jumped high.

He had seen Mu Xia's Blaziken's speed countless times; that was a speed that even Metagross couldn't catch up with.

And Milotic, after experiencing five consecutive fierce battles and releasing an unknown number of exaggerated moves, its energy was probably hitting the bottom and it couldn't use large-scale moves that could reach Blaziken!

Just when many people thought that Milotic and Su Hao were at their wits' end and the big boss was finally about to be wiped out, the clear sky was covered by dark clouds again, and the torrential rain descended for the second time.

And Milotic also sang loudly at this time, calling out to the waves, raising a tide that swept across the entire battle field!

Su Hao's voice also sounded at the right time: "Surf!"

"How is that possible!" Modu University's coach slapped the table and stood up, his whole face turning ugly, and he blurted out: "It actually still has the energy to release a second Rain Dance and large-scale Surf. Is this really the energy reserve that a Professional-level Pokémon can have!?"

Subsequently, he hugged his head and squatted down with a bit of decadence, muttering: "Even that psychic Xing Yuandao from Imperial University, the Gym-level combat power that briefly erupted by using psychic power to bless Pokémon is nothing more than this..."

Under the Surf that swept the field, Blaziken was helpless like a small wooden raft on the sea in a storm.

Originally, it could use the flames sprayed from the soles of its feet to jump up temporarily to avoid the edge of this Surf, but this eerie rainy weather

was not as simple as suppressing half of the Fire-type energy; at least two-thirds of the Fire-type energy was suppressed!

Thanks to Rain Dance, the flames could not be sprayed out, and Blaziken could not escape the Surf with physical strength alone.

Could it be... everything is over?

No!

Mu Xia ignored the hair sticking to her skin, her brain running crazily, and finally remembered a move among the moves Blaziken had learned that it had almost never used since it comprehended it.

Mu Xia's eyes shone brightly, and she said loudly: "Blaziken, Bounce!"

Bounce, Flying-type move.

The effect is... using Flying-type energy to jump high into the sky!

Blaziken endured the discomfort of its feathers being wet, roared at the sky, and the sky-blue Flying-type energy drove its body to break away from the Surf, temporarily escaping this "ocean"!

This was a move that Blaziken had never used since it evolved. Originally, it could surpass the height of Bounce just by relying on the jumping power after the flame eruption. Who would have thought that it would become Blaziken's straw to save its life today.

But this was only temporarily escaping danger. The root of the problem, Milotic, this super-specification existence, had not yet been solved.

When Blaziken's weak Flying-type energy was exhausted, it couldn't stop the trend of falling.

So, the moment to decide the outcome... is now!

Mu Xia took a deep breath and began to recall the time she spent with Blaziken in her mind.

First meeting, grinding, heart-to-heart, forging ahead...

Blaziken, who had a tacit understanding with its trainer, also flashed a look of determination in its eyes. Its movements and Mu Xia's voice were almost synchronized.

"Reversal!" "Blaziken!"

Blaziken was surrounded by Fighting-type energy that seemed to explode at any time, carrying the belief of a final gamble, and rushed toward Milotic on the crest of the wave.

The move "Reversal," attacking with all its might. The lower the remaining stamina, the higher the power of the move.

In the anime, Ash's Lucario used this move to instantly kill the Pokémon Rotom of Volkner, the Gym Leader of Sunyshore Gym in the Sinnoh region.

Mu Xia and Blaziken both held the determination of a final gamble to fight Milotic.

However, the corners of Su Hao's mouth suddenly raised, and he issued a command that no one expected: "Protect."

"Eh—?"

Mu Xia's expression went blank instantly.

Milotic on the crest of the wave suppressed the urge to slap Blaziken away with an Aqua Tail, and opened a pale green barrier that was clearly as thin as a cicada's wing, but so difficult to break through.

Blaziken's Reversal erupted on Protect, and even Protect, which was known as unbreakable at the same level, shattered under this fierce attack.

But... that was all.

Under the pull of gravity, Blaziken, who had no follow-up power, stretched out its arms wanting to touch Milotic, who was like a god on the crest of the wave, and then fell into the surging water flow with an expression of unwillingness.

————————————

Note: Reversal has been renamed to "Desperate Situation," but I felt it didn't have that flavor, so I used the previous translation.

That's all!
