Chapter 1425 Waveguides and Evil
Host: "Dichthyosaurus is out! Milotic has defeated its opponent again! Cyndaquil has turned the tide!"
Thunderous applause erupted throughout the stadium.
Milotic is truly an incredibly persistent Pokémon, having battled Dragonite, Lucario, and Dracovish, and even successfully defeated two Dragon-type Pokémon, Dragonite and Dracovish.
He's a true dragon slayer!
The Rockets' trio looked down, their hands holding the selfie stick stiff.
"Wow, that's amazing! Cynthia truly lives up to her title as Sinnoh Champion!"
"Meow is very worried about the little devil..."
"Are we going back to how things were before?"
Team Rocket's trio almost passively participated in all of Ash's League tournaments, witnessing his journey from failing to even reach the finals to gradually climbing the ranks.
Carlos and Alola are arguably the two best performers, one winning the tournament and the other becoming the regional champion.
Everything is going to be alright!
but……
Do we have to go back to the past now?
At Professor Oak's lab, the Pokémon were worried. Professor Oak and Beako remained relatively calm, while Ken only felt sorry for them.
Inside the arena, Xiao Zhi was somewhat puzzled.
why?
Why did Milotic appear at a higher altitude than the ichthyosaur, without seeing its movements at all?
"Of course you should jump, you idiot."
Kashiwagi noticed Ash's bewildered expression in the close-up shot and knew that Ash hadn't figured out why he lost.
Visual obstruction is always a two-way street; if Milotic can't see the ichthyosaur, it also means that the ichthyosaur can't see Milotic.
Leap is a move Milotic mastered during its Feebas stage. Because it has no offensive or status effects, trainers rarely use it.
In certain special circumstances, highly skilled trainers can use it to turn the tide of battle.
For example, cypress, and the bamboo orchid we see now.
However, Ash's loss in this game wasn't entirely unjust, since Dracovish was defeated by Dragon Pulse, rather than falling to Ironhead as in the original story.
Deng!
Beneath the big screen, of the five Pokémon images that Ash had already revealed, the second one went dark.
He let out a long sigh: "Heh..."
Since we've already lost, there's nothing we can do. No matter how much we miss it, the outcome won't change.
Ash quickly recalled his Dracovish, "You've already tried your best! Dracovish!"
If it hadn't been so determined to quickly defeat Milotic, which was in poor physical condition, it wouldn't have been defeated like this.
"Go, Lucario!"
Ash threw the Poké Ball with all his might, and the Poké Ball carrying the Aura suddenly activated, with a dazzling blue light falling onto the field.
Super Lucario raised its head and let out a long howl, "Awooo—"
The power of the waveguide surges back and forth on its surface, churning like a tangible force, and spreading out slowly like waves.
Ash, standing behind it, sensed the unease in Mega Lucario's heart and whispered, "That's right! That's what I was thinking too!"
To avenge our defeated comrades!
"Go!"
"Ow!"
Super Lucario responded, its powerful hind legs suddenly exerting force, and it shot forward like an arrow.
At the same time, the composed Cynthia glanced at the panting Milotic and said without much hesitation, "Water Cannon!"
"Miro~"
Milotic roused himself, suppressing the exhaustion from within. Moisture surged around him, and fine streams of water rapidly gathered in his mouth, compressing into a high-density, azure torrent.
The next instant, a thick jet of water burst forth!
Long!
The water, carrying a devastating impact, tore through the air with a dull whistling sound, like a roaring water dragon, and crushed straight towards Super Lucario's body!
This time, however, Super Lucario did not dodge at all, nor did it use Shadow Clone. Instead, its fist surface shone with a dazzling silver-white light, forming an impenetrable fist shield.
"Ow—"
"Bullet Fist!"
Ash suddenly clenched his fist and shouted, and Mega Lucario unleashed its full power, unleashing a terrifying barrage of punches like a rain of pear blossoms in the face of the deafening water cannon!
"Waaaaah!!"
It screeched loudly, its cries as urgent as its punches. The extreme speed caused the wind from its punches to tear through the air, forming a continuous barrier of punching force. The moment the punches collided with the water, they produced a dense and ear-piercing explosion!
Boom boom boom boom boom—!!
The force of the fist collided violently with the water cannon, and the enormous impact continued to erupt from the two as the center point, splashing water everywhere and forming water mist barriers that covered most of the venue.
The protective devices on all four sides were fully activated, constantly withstanding the shockwaves from the point of impact of the attacks. Deep within the water mist barrier, Super Lucario, empowered by its immense strength, forcefully broke through the water cannon's obstruction, its punches undiminished in force, continuing to approach Milotic.
Zhu Lan's gaze deepened. "What terrifying power! Dragon Tail!"
"Miro..."
Milotic's Hydro Pump stopped, and it retreated to adjust its posture. Its tail suddenly tightened, and indigo dragon flames quickly enveloped its tail fins. With an incomparably savage force, it swept out like a long whip, attempting to block Mega Lucario's attack.
The latter had already been tricked once, so it was impossible for it to be driven off a second time. With sharp eyes, it shifted to the side, dodging the tail fin while throwing a punch at the lower back that Milotic could not cover!
Bang!
The concentrated force of the punch slammed into Milotic's tail. With a dull thud, Milotic was shaken by the immense force, and the dragon flames on its tail fin dissipated.
Before it could regain its footing, Super Lucario had already closed in completely, raising its arms to compress its Aura, and a bright blue energy ball condensed in each of its palms!
"Ow—"
"Aerospace missile!"
At Xiaozhi's shout, it suddenly merged the two wave missiles into one, forming a dazzling and condensed wave missile that was larger than before.
At its core, the waveguide surged wildly, emitting a dazzling blue light. With a roar from Mega Lucario, it was pushed out close to Milotic's body, its exaggerated spiraling force seemingly trying to twist it.
Bamboo Orchid: "Mirror Shot!"
"Mimi—"
Despite the excruciating pain, Milotic hastily conjured a crystalline, mirror-like shield around its body, attempting to withstand the force of the wave missile and redirect it back to its opponent.
Unfortunately, the current wave missiles are far more powerful than before, and the light reflected from the mirror exceeded the limit of its capacity, shattering like glass.
The missile struck without hindrance, unleashing a burst of violent energy that tore apart its already dwindling strength.
"Crunch!!"
Milotic let out a low groan, its body flying backward like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
It struggled to get up, its slender body swaying slightly, but ultimately it couldn't hold on. Its head and tail fin drooped limply, and its eyes immediately turned into dark circles.
Deng Pei enters the arena, announcing, "Milano is unable to battle! Lucario wins!"
"A powerful and fierce combo! Ash Ketchum has successfully regained the initiative!"
The host kept shouting, "Mildane is finally out of the game! This Pokémon, which has been battling for so long, is finally getting its rest!"
The audience erupted in cheers and excitement, some expressing regret for Milotic, while others thought that Mega Lucario's attack was truly powerful.
Hep clutched her chest. "A back-and-forth exchange? This is so nerve-wracking!"
Cynthia's suppressive power was extraordinary, but Ash managed to salvage some of the unfavorable situation with Mega Lucario.
The score is currently tied at 2-2.
However, Ash only has one Pokémon left to remain unseen, while Cynthia still has two.
The latter still has plenty of options.
"Great! Lucario! Keep it up!" Ash cheered for Mega Lucario.
Zhu Lan retrieved Milotic back into the ball and reassured her, "Thank you for your hard work all this time. Rest assured and leave the rest to me."
Then, a Poké Ball was thrown.
"Granita! Enter the battle!"
boom!
"Quack quack!"
A dark, distorted halo enveloped the ground, and the Flower Rock Monster slowly emerged from it, once again bringing a sense of oppression to the area.
When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with hatred. The way it looks at Super Lucario is full of malice, and its smile is ferocious and terrifying, sending chills down the spines of many viewers.
Super Lucario's brow was furrowed with seriousness, yet also filled with an even stronger will.
It's determined to capture this Pokémon as well!
"Ow!"
Suddenly, Super Lucario charged forward at an incredible speed, its eyes flashing with an incredible blue light, and a wave-like force surged toward its opponent.
Zhu Lan quickly issued the order: "Flower Rock Monster! Shadow Sneak Attack!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the evil spirit of the Flower Rock Monster surged up, as if detached from a wedge, and sank into the ground against the sunlight.
"Ow?"
Super Lucario, bewildered, tried to probe its surroundings using its waveguide, but the latter's attack was both stealthy and swift, far beyond what its "ordinary" waveguide could detect.
A blurry shadow quietly emerged from behind Mega Lucario. The Ghast's Ghast spirit instantly coalesced, swirling with dense Ghost-type energy, and fiercely struck Mega Lucario's back!
Bang!
Super Lucario's wave warning blared, and it instinctively dodged to the right, its steps immediately broken by the impact.
But by the time it turned around quickly to look behind it, the Flower Rock Monster had already disappeared.
Ash shouted, "In front of you!"
"Ow..."
Mega Lucario turned its head back, and sure enough, Rockruff returned to the Rock of the Void, letting out a cacophony of laughter.
This attack was silent yet extremely swift, and more importantly, it was impossible to defend against, making it truly difficult to deal with.
This is the characteristic of Ghost-type Pokémon.
"Shadow attack!"
Cynthia gave the order a second time, and Ash shouted, "Bullet Punch! Attack the Sealing Stone!"
He didn't believe that Rockruff could completely break free from its seal. He had encountered this Pokémon more than once during his previous adventures, and had even sealed it away himself.
Therefore, unlike others who don't understand Rockruff, Ash knows very well that this guy can't easily break free from the Keystone.
really.
When Mega Lucario slammed its fist into the rock, Rockruff switched from attacking from behind to defending from the front.
Thump thump thump thump—
The bullet-shaped punches pounded into the massive black shadow that had been lifted up, but they were like mud thrown into a rock, unable to create even the slightest ripple.
Just when Ash thought the attack had failed, an amazing explosion occurred between the two, and the rolling shockwaves sent them flying, widening the distance between them once again.
"Shadow Ball! Continuous Attack!"
Bamboo Orchid completely ignored the smoke and directly ordered the Flower Rock Monster to launch a group attack.
The Flower Rock Monster's malevolent spirit spun around, and the surrounding ghostly energy frantically converged, forming several dark, deep shadow spheres like black holes. They pulsated, as if each sphere was surging with energy that could devour everything.
In an instant, it blasted these Shadow Balls out in succession, causing them to disperse the smoke and dust, and bombarding the Mega Lucario located within them.
"Aerospace missile!"
Ash, naturally unwilling to surrender, shouted for Mega Lucario to retaliate. The latter immediately manipulated the power of Aura, condensing several head-sized, azure Aura Spheres, which crashed into the incoming Shadow Ball.
Gasps of surprise erupted from the audience.
Aura Sphere is a Fighting-type move. Can you use it against a Ghost-type Shadow Ball?
That won't work!
To the surprise of all onlookers, when the incoming Shadow Sphere collided head-on with the Wave Missile, the two exploded like two ordinary energies, creating a series of earth-shaking explosions!
Dark black and light blue intertwined in the center of the arena, with energy debris and dust flying everywhere. Shockwaves spread outwards in concentric circles, and the already fragmented ground was further cracked.
The host exclaimed, "A spectacular clash of moves! Super Lucario's ability to see through ghosts grants it the power to touch them!"
That's right.
It is precisely this ability to "see through".
The moment Mega Lucario saw the Spirit, it instinctively learned the move "Insight," allowing it to break free from the limitation that Fighting-type moves couldn't hit Ghost-type moves.
Cynthia saw it too, so she never questioned whether Mega Lucario could beat Rockruff.
More importantly, she achieved her goal.
"You're still not learning, Xiao Zhi."
She smiled and said, "Hypnosis!"
In the smoke-shrouded arena, Grimstone suddenly extended its Ghast, crashed into the smoke, and charged towards Mega Lucario.
The other party was using waveguides to sense its presence. Not only did it not dodge when it approached, it intensified its sensing of its presence.
Therefore, when the pinkish-purple light enveloped it, Mega Lucario reacted more violently than other Pokémon, as if it had been hit hard on the back of the head by a giant hammer. A strong drowsiness swept over its body like a tide, and its consciousness instantly became hazy.
puff.
It swayed and fell to the ground.
Ash was shocked. "What!?"
The host shouted, "Hypnosis hit! Super Lucario is powerless to resist!"
Zhu Lan quickly followed up with the next command, "Dream Eater!"
"Quack quack!"
The Rockruff laughed wildly and released a thick pink mist at Mega Lucario, who was lying on the ground with a furrowed brow.
Ash cried out urgently, "Lucario! Wake up!"
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu cried out in unison; it simply couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Waaah..."
Super Lucario was talking incessantly, its expression showing both pain and drowsiness, revealing its current struggle.
The Flower Rock Monster sucked hard and got the energy back it wanted.
Ash clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and used his special waveguide to call out. The connection between their hearts allowed his voice to gradually break through the barriers of reality.
"Wake up, Lucario!"
"Ow..."
"Wake up!!"
"Ow!!"
In an instant, Mega Lucario's eyes snapped open!
