Chapter 57: Terastal Ghost

The Fire/Ghost-type Cagyan Cangyan Rengui is manageable in a standard battle, but facing a Mega-Evolved Blastoise with vastly increased power, gaining an advantage is truly difficult... So now is the moment to unleash Terastallization.

The rain curtain continuously washing over the battlefield never paused for a moment. Under Master Master Haidai's surprised gaze, Luo Mu took a deep breath, reached into his pocket, pulled out a Terastal Orb, and hurled it fiercely at Cagyan Cangyan Rengui: "Cagyan Cangyan Rengui, Terastallize!"

The Terastal Orb thrown by Luo Mu to the top of Cagyan Cangyan Rengui's head instantly erupted with dazzling brilliance. Crystalline Terastal energy sprinkled down, instantly forming a blue crystal that wrapped around Cagyan Cangyan Rengui.

Crack—

A crisp shattering sound rang out. As the crystal scattered into light fragments, Cagyan Cangyan Rengui stood in place, its body shimmering with crystal light like a plating. Terastal energy constructed a surrounding tombstone above its head as a base for the Terastal Crown; a ghostly, dark-purple crown shaped like a spirit proclaimed Cagyan Cangyan Rengui's Terastal type.

Terastal Ghost!

Luo Mu had not failed to consider the possibility of Cagyan Cangyan Rengui being Terastal Fire; the best answer would certainly be Terastal Grass Cagyan Cangyan Rengui, but Terastal Fire was not unbeatable either.

However, since Cagyan Cangyan Rengui's Terastal type is Ghost, then the above considerations were unnecessary worry.

Indeed, my luck is not bad; it is time to sound the horn of counterattack!

"Charge forward, Shadow Claw."

Cagyan Cangyan Rengui felt that under the support of Terastallization, the rain's effect on itself had become negligible. Striding with swift steps, a layer of crystal-plated dark-purple giant claws covered the flame greatsword on Cagyan Cangyan Rengui. Aiming at the Mega-Evolved Blastoise, which had been stunned for an instant by its Terastallization, it swiped a claw!

This claw struck the Mega-Evolved Blastoise's face directly. The Mega-Evolved Blastoise lost its balance and fell backward as if slapped by a person.

"What is that!?" Chairman Zhi Mi's face changed. Luo Mu's sudden Terastallization left him dazed. Zhi Mi gritted his teeth and said, "The next wave of attacks is coming! Hydro Cannon!"

Cagyan Cangyan Rengui immediately intended to press the advantage. The resentment fire on its flame greatsword surged. The Wring Blade, which restores lost stamina upon hitting the Mega-Evolved Blastoise, was undoubtedly its best choice.

Blastoise's response method demonstrated the quality of a Four Heavenly Kings ace. Enduring the dizziness from being struck by Shadow Claw, the cannons on Blastoise's arms aimed at the ground and instantly burst forth with two beams of white light. The Hydro Cannon blasted the ground to help Blastoise adjust its posture, and the giant cannon on its back aimed at Cagyan Cangyan Rengui and fired again.

Cagyan Cangyan Rengui frowned, cleaved the Hydro Cannon with a slash, moved with the elegance of a medieval duke, twisted its body, and slashed horizontally at the Mega-Evolved Blastoise's abdomen with its second flame greatsword.

"Kame!"

The Mega-Evolved Blastoise clutched its abdomen as if in pain and retreated. The fire attached to the flame greatsword burned on the turtle shell's abdomen like a bone-attached plague. As the Mega-Evolved Blastoise felt its stamina draining, the fire turned into light points and flowed into Cagyan Cangyan Rengui's body.

Master Master Haidai raised his eyebrows: "Hmm... Wring Blade, indeed a troublesome move. Over time, it will inevitably form a trend of one declining while the other rises. Blastoise's evolved forms will have less and less stamina, while Cagyan Cangyan Rengui's stamina will become more and more abundant."

Chairman Zhi Mi did not know the move Cagyan Cangyan Rengui used well, but relying on his years of battle experience, he could see through the essence at a glance. He absolutely could not let the battle become a war of attrition; otherwise, all the advantages of the Mega-Evolved Blastoise would be squandered!

"Full power, Dragon Pulse!"

A sharp light flashed through the Mega-Evolved Blastoise's crimson pupils. From the two cannons and the giant cannon, blue-purple halos erupted. A few breaths later, three light waves roared out, transforming into a ferocious giant dragon that roared toward Cagyan Cangyan Rengui.

Luo Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "In a beam struggle, we will not lose. Tera Blast!"

A large amount of Terastal energy dyed with Ghost-type colors gathered before Cagyan Cangyan Rengui, finally forming a thick beam of light that surged forth.

Energy fought against energy, melting each other. The power of the Mega-Evolved Blastoise's Dragon Pulse, possessing the "Super Lure" ability, was terrifyingly immense, yet Cagyan Cangyan Rengui's Tera Blast ultimately prevailed under the accumulation of various factors.

Tera Blast scattered the Dragon Pulse. The remaining slight energy was entirely poured into the Mega-Evolved Blastoise's body, embedding the Mega-Evolved Blastoise itself into the ground.

Chairman Zhi Mi gritted his teeth, immediately intending to buy time for the Mega-Evolved Blastoise to recover, absolutely refusing to let Cagyan Cangyan Rengui press the advantage: "Protect!"

"Ka... me."

The Mega-Evolved Blastoise's weak voice rang out. A pale green barrier rose. Chairman Zhi Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's useless. Haven't you just seen this move?" Luo Mu shook his head and issued the final ultimatum directly: "Phantom Force!"

A channel formed of Ghost-type energy reappeared beneath Cagyan Cangyan Rengui's feet. Cagyan Cangyan Rengui leaped straight into it and appeared before the Mega-Evolved Blastoise in the next instant.

"This is bad...!"

Chairman Zhi Mi's pupils contracted sharply as he realized he had made a fatal mistake.

Phantom Force is one of the few moves capable of breaking through Protect!

Cagyan Cangyan Rengui ruthlessly swung its two flame greatswords.

Even dyed with Ghost-type colors, the Terastal energy swirling on the flame greatswords still shone dazzlingly.

The first sword broke through Protect.

The second sword defeated the Mega-Evolved Blastoise.

The instant the Mega-Evolved Blastoise lost consciousness, the power of Mega Evolution, unable to be maintained, scattered and vanished like a dam releasing water. Only the Blastoise, with its eyes spinning in circles, was left lying on the ground, having lost the ability to fight.

Chairman Zhi Mi opened and closed his mouth, words stuck in his throat, unsure for a moment what to say.

A thousand words finally turned into a sigh of relief. Chairman Zhi Mi, recalling the Blastoise, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying to the Blastoise inside the Poké Ball: "I was outplayed by one move; it was my misjudgment of the battle situation that led to your defeat."

"You worked hard, Blastoise."

Master Master Haidai was stunned for an instant, then loudly announced: "Blastoise has lost the ability to fight; Cagyan Cangyan Rengui wins!"

"Wuru-wuru!"

As Master Master Haidai finished speaking, Wenxiang Wenxiang Kedou rushed into the battle arena as if celebrating, excitedly congratulating Cagyan Cangyan Rengui, which had ended its Terastallization.

Cagyan Cangyan Rengui's cold eyebrows also curved slightly, a rare occurrence, and it was very pleased with Wenxiang Wenxiang Kedou's praise.

"Good job."

Luo Mu walked forward a few steps and gently patted the back of Cagyan Cangyan Rengui's flame sword, which had shrunk after the battle ended, with his right hand.

Although they could not fist-bump as they did during Tan Xiao Shi's time, these actions served more as a medium to convey emotions to Cagyan Cangyan Rengui.

Cagyan Cangyan Rengui used all its strength to suppress the impulse to jump up like Wenxiang Wenxiang Kedou and nodded calmly with a reliable demeanor.

Luo Mu just smiled, not intending to expose Cagyan Cangyan Rengui, which wanted to act cool.
