Chapter 654

And limited by its clumsy size, even knowing that it was going to rush over and hit it hard with a big club, Copperajah could not make any evasive maneuvers.

And having just withstood the opponent's strange energy move attack, it was now unable to bear any more attacks.

Therefore, the only choice it could make was—

Fight it out with the opponent!

"Roar—!"

Copperajah's steel trunk spewed out a scorching air current, and with sharp eyes, it stepped forward fiercely, and the ground began to tremble accordingly.

Starting with the first step, Copperajah was exerting its full strength to use the Earthquake move, striving to take out its opponent before it could attack.

However, it still underestimated Ogerpon's speed.

Just as Copperajah's right foot was lifted and about to fall, Ogerpon had already arrived in front of it, the Ivy Cudgel in its hand with surging tongues of fire held high.

"Ogerpon!"

Ogerpon gripped with both hands, and the Ivy Cudgel in its hand swung down fiercely, aiming directly at Copperajah's hard steel trunk.

From the emotion in Qingyu's voice, Ogerpon could clearly feel his anxiety.

So for this club, it didn't hold back at all, completely aiming to finish the opponent in one move.

"Boom—!"

The burning Ivy Cudgel turned into a fire dragon in the air, bombing the body made of hard steel, and even the surrounding air vibrated along with it.

A simple and unadorned club, not even like the Blood Moon that Sylveon had just used, which caused the surrounding environment to change.

But the power of this move was definitely not to be underestimated.

Almost the moment the attack hit, Qingyu watched helplessly as Copperajah, which had been full of life and showed firm eyes just a moment ago, immediately rolled its eyes and lost consciousness on the spot.

"..."

Seeing this, Geeta widened her eyes in secret.

How does this pure fighting style feel a bit like Poppy's Tinkaton?

However...

From the perspective of strength, the combat power of this Ogerpon feels like it could even sweep Poppy's entire team in one go?

This kind of terrifying power is already close to a Legendary Pokémon, right? At the very least, it's on the level of that Kingambit in Geeta's hands...

Could it be that Qingyu wasn't fully serious just now, and now is his full form?

No, no, no, no matter how you think about it, having a Champion-level Pokémon is already outrageous; it should just be a coincidence that he reached a bond with this Ogerpon.

Although it was an almost one-sided crushing match, at least Geeta also obtained some information about Qingyu from it.

For example, his two Pokémon that are not quite right, plus this Ogerpon with strength comparable to a Champion; just looking at these three, they definitely already have Elite Four level!

So... where exactly should Qingyu be placed?

If Ogerpon is used as the final boss, it looks like the strength of the bottom of the Elite Four or even the Champion level.

But it doesn't feel quite right to let students fight Qingyu and Geeta in succession.

Thinking of this, Geeta couldn't help but shake her head.

After a battle, she suddenly felt that she was the one who was most mentally exhausted.

It's better to leave this kind of thing to Geeta to worry about.

Since she couldn't think of a definitive answer, Geeta quickly gave up thinking.

The current score on the field is 3:1, which looks like it might still be very tense, but in fact, Poppy's lineup is almost bottomed out.

After her ace Copperajah fell, she should only have... left in her hand?

Magnezone and Bronzong?

Bronzong is a Pokémon that leans more toward a defensive style, and it's hard to say that it has any resistance when facing this Ogerpon.

So once Magnezone is dealt with, it means she is completely out.

Even though she had been honing herself for several months for this chance to challenge Qingyu, she ultimately ushered in a crushing defeat that was almost exactly the same as the last time.

Perhaps it is still too early for Poppy, but...

On the path of a Trainer, it is destined to be full of failure and unwillingness; only a mature Trainer who has adapted to these setbacks and tempered a strong mentality can be considered strong.

I hope Poppy won't cry later.

Geeta suddenly had some mischievous thoughts in her heart.

Seeing Copperajah easily killed by Ogerpon with one club, Qingyu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, with Copperajah's physique, if it really used Earthquake, I'm afraid my Sunny Gym's battle field would have to be repaired from scratch again.

But in this way, Poppy's Pokémon are almost used up, right?

When Qingyu looked at Poppy again, he had already read a point of regret, two points of despair, three points of unwillingness, and four points of confusion from her dull expression.

"Damn it..."

"Next one!"

Poppy quickly clenched her little fists, looked at Ogerpon with competitive eyes, and silently withdrew the Copperajah that had fallen to the ground.

"I choose you, Magnezone!"

Soon, a mechanical creature resembling a disc-shaped flying object with a large eye in the center staring straight ahead appeared on the field.

Magnezone, evolved from Magneton through the influence of a special magnetic field.

But in recent years, it seems that some scholars have also discovered that a Thunder Stone also has the effect of promoting the evolution of Magneton.

The Electric + Steel composite attribute is very disadvantageous when facing Ogerpon wearing the Hearthflame Mask.

From this point, it can also be seen that Poppy's lineup has basically been emptied by him, so she can only bite the bullet and send it out to counterattack.

It seems that the battle can be declared over in advance.

Just as Qingyu was thinking this, Poppy on the other side suddenly reached out again and took out a somewhat familiar pitch-black ball from her pocket.

Seeing this, Qingyu raised his eyebrows.

So that's it, she intends to use Terastallization...

"Use this special power to defeat the opponent, Magnezone!"

Poppy spoke quickly, and at the same time, she gripped the Tera Orb, which was a bit heavy for her, with both hands, and finally threw it out with all her might.

A familiar scene happened again; the scattered Tera shards covered Magnezone's whole body, allowing a layer of armor formed by silver-white energy to quickly precipitate on its body.

Judging from the Tera Crown on its head, it should be the Flying type.

Qingyu nodded secretly.

Magnezone doesn't have many weaknesses, and after changing its attribute to Flying using Terastallization, it can avoid fatal Ground and Fighting-type moves, which is a very good choice as a defensive option.

However...

Since the opponent has already shown Terastallization, I might as well show off a bit myself.

While a smile appeared on the corner of Qingyu's mouth, he had already taken out the Tera Orb from his pocket and looked at Ogerpon, who was looking back at him.

"Let's use Terastallization to deal with Terastallization, Ogerpon."

"Ogerpon~"

After Ogerpon responded enthusiastically, it had already held its mask high.

Seeing this, Qingyu did not hesitate and immediately threw the Tera Orb in his hand.

As both are Terastallization, there is actually a big difference between Ogerpon and Magnezone.

As perhaps the only special existence with a special Tera effect, Ogerpon does not act like other Pokémon when using Terastallization, but stores all this energy into the mask specially made by the craftsman.

The wonderful chemical reaction between Terastallization and the mask can not only bring the same effect as the usual Terastallization phenomenon but also activate the true power of the mask.

Soon, the Hearthflame Mask, which had absorbed all the energy from the Tera shards, expanded a bit, and while covering Ogerpon's body completely, its eyes and the outline of the mask also began to burn with raging flames.

Combined with the Hearthflame Mask's already angry expression, it has a sense of the legendary ghost god.

"Ogerpon!!!"

After releasing the full power of the mask, it seems that even the wildness in Ogerpon's heart has been awakened, making it involuntarily let out a roar full of momentum.

Depending on the mask carried, the boost effect Ogerpon receives after entering Terastallization is also different.

And the Hearthflame Mask corresponds to the most simple and unadorned +1 Physical Attack.

Combined with the Mold Breaker ability brought by the Hearthflame Mask and the Terastallization boost, Ogerpon's combat power at this time has even more than doubled compared to before.

It fully interprets what is called violent aesthetics.

"Ogerpon, Ivy Cudgel."

Seeing that Ogerpon was ready and Poppy had not made a decision for a long time, Qingyu spoke calmly.

After this club, the battle should be declared over, right?

"Magnezone, fly up to dodge the attack, then use Electroweb!"

The moment Qingyu spoke, Poppy immediately followed up with a command.

And Qingyu could fully understand her idea.

Magnezone itself can fly using magnetic fields, and it is even more comfortable after Terastallizing into the Flying type.

If Ogerpon has no air combat ability, it obviously won't be able to do anything about it, and can only be interfered with by the Electroweb it sprinkles, followed by constant consumption of various moves.

However...

"Use Quick Attack to rush over, jump onto its head, and don't give it a chance to take off."

Qingyu reacted immediately and made a countermeasure.

Just like when Lucario faced Corviknight before, Pokémon that are good at close-quarters combat are indeed more troublesome when facing opponents that can fly.

But as long as you don't give it a chance to open up the distance, won't the problem be solved?

With this thought in mind, Qingyu decisively issued the command.

"Ogerpon!"

Ogerpon took the first step, and as Magnezone began to float upward, it had already erupted with a speed even more terrifying than before, approaching the opponent in two or three breaths.

With a fierce kick to the ground, Ogerpon's figure landed steadily on Magnezone's spacious back.

"Magnezone, use Zap Cannon to knock it down!"

Poppy was obviously a little anxious and immediately issued a command.

As Magnezone's biggest killing move, the power of Zap Cannon is indeed very terrifying, and it also has plenty of electricity that will definitely paralyze the opponent; the only drawback is that its accuracy is very low.

But at close range, this can almost be ignored.

It's a pity...

When Ogerpon got close, it obviously didn't have a chance to start again.

"Ogerpon, Ivy Cudgel."

After Qingyu's understated sentence, the two small hands extending from under Ogerpon's mask had already held the Ivy Cudgel, which seemed to have expanded a bit more, high up, and then smashed it fiercely toward the Magnezone that was charging up below.

The result is self-evident.

Soon, some burn marks appeared on Magnezone's metal body, and it, which hadn't had time to fly up, suddenly lost all its strength and fell to the ground with a bang.

"I lost..."

Poppy lowered her head in disappointment, and her originally energetic expression became aggrieved.

Although she still had a Bronzong in her hand, its combat power was indeed quite average and not on the same level as the other four.

In her team, Bronzong is generally responsible for releasing Trick Room to deal with some more special opponents.

And even if it appeared as the last hope, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to last two rounds under Ogerpon's fierce offensive...

Thinking of this, Poppy became more and more depressed.

How does it feel like Gym Leader Qingyu is not on the same level as the other Trainers she has met... Even Geeta-jie hasn't given her such a strong sense of frustration.
