Chapter 1437 Provoking Laziness?
Wow!
The stands erupted in noise due to Aegislash's defeat.
The undefeated champion had accumulated such a strong following that when he was defeated by Kashiwagi in two consecutive Pokémon battles, the uproar was extraordinary.
Could it be? Or perhaps?
Can Kashiwagi still take down Dan-di without bloodshed, just like before?
Ash and Pikachu looked serious; one of the two below them would be their next opponent.
Hep's eyes glazed over. "How is this possible..."
But in the blink of an eye, he mustered his spirits and cheered his brother on.
We will definitely win!
He believed in his brother, Dante!
"Did you see that?"
"This is Boss Kashiwagi!"
"Boss Kashiwagi is the best in the world, meow!"
The Rockets trio gushed over the camera, their faces filled with worship and admiration for Kashiwagi, turning into die-hard fanatics like Otsuka.
Sakaki, in a hidden base in Kanto, scoffed disdainfully at their titles.
no doubt.
Sakaki was also watching the Rockets' trio's live stream at that moment, or more accurately, watching "Little Silver" who was also in the live stream room.
Using Zhenniao's intelligence-gathering abilities, he entered the live stream of these three guys, wanting to see if his son would send any comments or anything while watching the live stream.
Unfortunately, so far, he has only seen two things—
Keep the camera steady!
"Pick up your phones, you three idiots!"
But it was enough to comfort Giovanni.
He didn't feel anything when Xiao Yin was around, but now that Xiao Yin has gone to Ou Lei to be the principal's assistant, he has even started dreaming about Xiao Yin.
"Damn it! Let me see if you can become the strongest!" Sakaki gritted his teeth and continued watching the match.
Inside the arena, Kashiwagi brushed away the drifting dust and raised an eyebrow.
"So we really don't share the same fate."
The colossal steel serpent stood in the gravel field, its breath stirring up loose sand and creating large plumes of dust.
It's a well-worn topic: unless a Pokémon is born with a certain skill, anime trainers won't waste time and effort teaching their Pokémon moves that are rarely used.
The same applies to the Shield Sword Monster of the Dan Emperor.
It has two chances of sharing the same fate—
It can be inherited from parents or learned from others who know this technique.
Leon's undefeated reputation, earned through his discovery by Rose and his rise to become the Champion, is no exaggeration. With Aegislash not having Fate Link by nature, there are virtually no opponents for him to specifically train Aegislash to learn Fate Link.
Only someone like Kashiwagi, with his overpowered abilities, could teach a Pokémon a bunch of moves that might not even be used once in a dozen or so matches.
Of course, things might not be the same after this one ends.
In short, Kashiwagi's Shield Sword Monster won't suffer the same fate as Dan-di's. If it's like Cynthia's Flower Rock Monster, then he'll accept it.
To show respect for the former world champion, Steelix was traded one for one.
Unfortunately, Emperor Dan didn't give him a chance.
"That's it then." Kashiwagi quickly recalled the colossal Steelix and flexed his fingers.
With four systems at his disposal, while Leon only has one, as long as he and his Pokémon don't throw the battle, apart from Charizard being a bit tricky, the other Pokémon will basically have no chance of defeating any of them in the upcoming four-on-four battles!
He has that confidence!
"Come on! Let's see your new Pokémon!"
Kashiwagi gazed at Dan-te in the distance.
Leon remained expressionless, seemingly unaware that two of his Pokémon had already been defeated, but in reality, his heart was beating faster than ever before.
"I see."
He finally understood why he had recalled his first battle.
That exhilarating, heartfelt emotion hadn't surfaced for a very, very long time, so long that he was starting to feel lost.
"What a great match!"
Dan Di couldn't help but laugh.
An undefeated champion actually longs to be defeated, to suffer a devastating and spectacular defeat!
Just like when he was defeated by Sonia without any suspense in their first battle, he tasted what it meant to be unwilling to accept defeat.
It was bittersweet, heartbreaking, and I desperately wanted to do it again.
"Go! Thunder King Kong!"
He suddenly threw the Poké Ball forward.
boom!
The light shone brightly.
The Pokémon that appeared on the field was none other than the imposing Rillaboom, wielding a wooden stick and a large drum, stomping over the scattered pebbles, head held high as it gazed at its opponent falling into the distance—
A rather unremarkable grayish-white round stone.
"My throat..."
The Galar Coral tentacles trembled as it extended its smoke-like tentacles, its ghostly eyes meeting those of the Thunder King Kong. Sensing the intense sunlight from above, it let out a long sigh.
孽 孽!
Its resentment turned into a white haze.
The host exclaimed, "Kashiwagi is following closely behind Leon, sending out a new Pokémon! This time, he's chosen a Galar-type Corsola!"
The words fell.
Dan Di swiftly issued the order: "Provocation."
“Hoo-ri.”
Rumble King Kong beckoned to the distant Galarian Corsola, his eyes full of provocation.
But what it received in response was an utterly cold gaze.
"voice."
Galar Corsola doesn't take provocations at all!
Especially this kind of "bring it on" provocation method, it can only deal with Pokémon like Hydreigon, Steelix, and Shiny Gengar, it is ineffective against it!
The host shouted, "Provocation failed! It didn't achieve the desired effect!"
"It didn't work at all?"
Dan Di asked, somewhat surprised, "Was the way of provoking us wrong?"
He quickly figured out the reason.
Cypress: "Invisible Rock".
It shot out fragments of stone in all directions, which condensed into dust to form huge, sharp stone pillars before disappearing into the air.
Emperor Dan: "Beat the drums!"
"Hoo-ri!"
The booming gorilla roared, gripping the drumsticks with both hands and striking the giant drum on the tree stump in front of it. The deep, heavy drumbeats echoed throughout the rocky ground!
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
The powerful sound waves spread out layer by layer with the rhythm of the drumbeats, extending into the ground and turning into fine roots. Then, like long snakes, they broke through the soil and quickly wrapped around the distant Galar Sun Coral!
The brownish-brown roots, resembling two ferocious snakes, further damaged the already loose soil.
Kashiwagi seemed oblivious to this, saying, "Will-o'-the-wisp."
"My throat..."
The gnarled coral tentacles of the Galar Sun Coral swayed slightly, and clusters of eerie purple flames appeared out of thin air. The long, undulating root-like snakes rapidly approached the Thunder King Kong, even swirling to form a ring of eerie purple fire.
The Thunder King Kong was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, but its hands did not stop beating the drum with all its might, "Hoo-li!"
The move 【Drumming】 cannot be disengaged.
Once it stops drumming, the roots that spread toward the Galar Sun Coral will cease, so it must make sure to hit its opponent before the will-o'-the-wisp arrives!
Once it hits, it can be released immediately!
Both Pokémon stared intently at their opponent, as if waiting for one of them to show weakness first.
In an instant.
The first attack, a drumbeat, struck the Galar Sun Coral. Its winding roots whipped at it, entangled it, and lifted it into the air, trapping it.
A blue light flashed instantly, slowing its speed.
"Hoo-ri!"
Seeing this, the Thunder King Kong Ape leaped to the side without hesitation, narrowly avoiding the ghost fire ring that was almost within reach.
Bang!
The ring of will-o'-the-wisps suddenly exploded!
The targeted will-o'-the-wisps turned into explosive bombs!
Amidst the gasps of countless spectators, the exploding ring of ghost fire scorched the back of the Thunder King Kong.
The flames instantly spread across its entire body, transforming it into a giant humanoid torch. The intense burning caused the Thunder King Kong to let out a painful roar.
Seeing this, Dan Di didn't show much tension on his face. He raised his hand and shouted, "Use the opportunity to strike!"
"Hoo-ri!"
Despite the pain, the Thunder King Kong leaped towards the Galar Coral, which was entangled by the Drumbeat Roots in the distance. Its palm glowed with a blackish-red light, and even though it was burning, it was still incredibly fast.
Leon clearly knew that Corsola possessed an Evolution Stone that could boost its Defense and Special Defense, so he attempted to knock it down with Knock Off.
Furthermore, since the power of the slap increases when the opponent is carrying an item, even if the target is currently burned, its power will not be significantly weakened.
It could easily take down half the health of a Galar Corsola without an Evolution Stone!
Zhu Lan's eyes flickered slightly when she saw this.
"The old method! Absorb power!"
As the Thunder King Kong leaped in front of the Galarian Coral, Kashiwagi quickly gave the order.
Everyone suddenly saw that as the Thunder King Kong swung its paw down, an object suddenly flew out of a hole in the Galar Sun Coral, followed by its tentacles expanding violently and piercing into the Thunder King Kong's body.
Bang!
The giant black and red hand descended, instantly shattering the root cage created by the drumming and knocking the Galar Sun Coral to the ground.
Boom!
Smoke and dust billowed up, enveloping the two Pokémon.
This attack was incredibly swift, demonstrating the immense power of the Thunder King Kong Ape's offensive capabilities; even weakened by the burning, it still possessed such power.
Unfortunately, it did not achieve the effect that Dan Di had imagined.
The host shouted, "Galarian Corsola deliberately discarded its Evolution Stone! This reduced the power of Knock Off! But, can it withstand the weakening of its Defense and Special Defense?"
hum!
The audience erupted in uproar.
Voluntarily discarding Evolution Stones! Is that even possible?!
Discarding the Evolution Stone means losing the boost to both defenses!
"Just as I expected."
Zhu Lan rested her chin on her hand, let out a long breath, and said, "I used it once before when I fought against Gadriya. Did you use it again this time?"
Yes.
This wasn't the first time Kashiwagi had used this trick.
Back when she battled Cattleya, Galarian Corsola had done the remarkable feat of discarding her Evolution Stone to prevent her opponent from knocking it off.
When the smoke cleared, what appeared before everyone's eyes was Thunder King Kong Ape with tentacles embedded in its body, unable to move.
The green fluorescent tentacles continued to penetrate its body.
Galar Corsola's stamina was preserved to the maximum extent, and it even retrieved the thrown Evolution Stone using its Smoky Coral tentacles.
If not discarded, the Evolution Stone that is hit by the knockdown will lose its effect for a short time and become just an ordinary stone.
A blue light shone on Rillaboom's body, signifying that its attack power had decreased again. This was quite fatal for a Pokémon that primarily relied on physical attacks.
Without hesitation, Dan Di said, "Come back!"
He retreated extremely quickly, giving the Galar Coral no chance to stop him, and also looked up at the sky.
"Is it over?"
Just as Dante said, the intense sunny weather is about to end.
The sunlight dimmed at a visible speed, the sky was no longer overly bright, the venue gradually returned to its original temperature, and the air was no longer distorted.
"Invisible Rock... Go! Thousand-Faced Avatar!"
Leon threw a Poké Ball forward.
boom!
The light was dazzling.
The Thousand-Faced Escape Artist arrived at the site for the third time, and although the unbearably high temperature was gone this time, but...
"Li oh".
Suddenly, sharp boulders appeared in the air. The Thousand-Faced Beast jumped backward alertly, but it was difficult to withstand the flying debris and shockwaves from the exploding boulders.
It crashed to the ground with a painful groan.
The Rotom drone focused its camera on its back, where viewers could clearly see large areas of charred marks.
"It seems that Eggo's previous solar beam did hit it, but the sunny day is over. What kind of performance will Thousand Faces Beast deliver!?"
The host shouted, and Leon gave the command as Egg of Fortune appeared, "Water Jet! Wild Dance! Dispel Invisible Rock!"
"Li oh!"
The Thousand-Faced Beast cried out softly, spinning rapidly on one foot to form a sharp vortex. Transparent water swirled around it at high speed, quickly spreading throughout the entire area!
This move is undoubtedly derived from Ash's Counter Shield. As it rapidly expands, the invisible rocks hidden in the air are quickly brought out and shattered one by one, leaving almost no survivors.
After Egg of Delight landed, Kashiwagi didn't sit idle either. He promptly showed off his Z-Bracelet and said, "Let's go together, Egg of Delight!"
"Happy!"
The happy egg chirped softly, its little hands clasped together, its expression serious.
hum!
The dazzling light reflected off the Z-bracelet, quickly covering Cypress's entire body and transforming into emerald green light, linking him and Lucky Egg together with the same movement.
A huge Z shape suddenly appeared.
The host shouted, "It's here! Kashiwagi's first system! He chose Z-Move!"
Dante, fearless, waved his hand and shouted, "Snipe! Pierce it!"
"Li oh!"
Thousand Faces responded, but instead of rushing towards Egg of Fortune, it knelt down on one knee, raised its arm like a sniper aiming from a distance, squinted its left eye and used its right eye to precisely lock onto Egg of Fortune, which was enveloped in emerald green light.
High-pressure water converges at high speed at the fingertips, forming a visible, pale white, slender vortex that continuously swirls and compresses.
Suddenly.
The entire site has been transformed into a sea of flowers!
The powerful Z-Move affected the surrounding environment, but the real killer move was located on top of Cheese Egg's head—a giant energy ball that had gathered the sun's energy to its fullest extent and was mixed with emerald green, golden yellow, and light blue!
"A riot of colorful flowers in full bloom!!"
"Happy!!"
As Cypress and Lucky Egg shouted, Thousand Faces Avoid suddenly shot out a line of water from its fingertips, causing it to pierce through the giant energy sphere.
The next instant, the violent energy poured down like a surging tide from the exploding giant energy sphere, transforming into pillars of light that engulfed the entire arena and completely submerged the Thousand Faces and the Lucky Egg!
Rumble, rumble—!!
