Chapter 1448 Ghost Gate Locks the Dragon
【Dragon Dive】VS【Dragon Dive】!
Both Pokémon unleashed their full power in the purest physical collision, their dragon flames intertwining and devouring each other, continuously releasing overwhelming shockwaves in the center of the field, like the terrifying roar of two giant dragons tearing each other apart!
"Roar--!!"
The ground trembled violently, and countless fine, thread-like cracks gradually appeared, while the crackling sounds of shattering were drowned out by the roar of surging dragon flames.
The protective devices in front of the stands never stopped working, and even though everyone was in a safe area, they could still feel the power of the two fiery dragons colliding with each other in the center of the arena!
"Ichthyosaur! Charge—"
Ash attempted to use the same trick again, trying to get Dracovish to exert its power a second time, but before he could finish shouting, Hydreigon let out an even stronger roar, and its three ferocious heads tore at the dragon flames on Dracovish's exterior as if they were alive.
How can we allow a situation that has already occurred once to happen again!
The enraged three-headed dragon's aura surged wildly, transforming the devoured azure flames into fuel for its expansion, making the dragon flames around its body even larger and more solid. The gill-fish dragon was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the dragon flames surrounding its body shrank inch by inch.
"Wow--"
"Sigh!!"
With a high-pitched roar, the three-headed dragon suddenly broke through the charge of the gill bream and launched an attack with tremendous force. The energy torrent formed by colorful dragon flames overwhelmed the gill bream's body and blasted it away on the spot!
Ouch!
Flames and smoke erupted together, and a huge mushroom cloud rose slowly.
The ichthyosaur's body crashed heavily to the edge of the arena, the ground trembled violently, and gravel flew everywhere. It struggled to get up, but found itself powerless and staggered to the other side.
It let out a weak, low moan: "Wah..."
Finally, his eyes rolled back and he completely fainted, clearly unable to withstand the opponent's fierce attack.
Ash shouted, "Dracovish!"
"The battle is over! The Hydreigon has the upper hand!" the host shouted. "In this fierce contest of dragon dives, the Gill-Dragon has been the first to fall!"
Whoosh!
The dust and mist inside the arena were dispersed by a strong airflow, and the three-headed dragon hovered steadily in the center of the arena. Its six broad wings fluttered slowly, and the colorful dragon flames had subsided, revealing its dark and enormous body.
Deng Pei entered the arena, raised his right arm, and announced the result of the match: "The ichthyosaur is unable to fight! The Hydreigon has won!"
Its three heads were raised high, roaring as it proclaimed its victory!
"Screech—!!"
The first one!
Deng!
The image of the ichthyosaur on the big screen suddenly dimmed.
The host said, "Kashiwagi's strength is still overwhelming! He easily defeated his first opponent! As a fellow Dragon-type Pokémon, Dracovish is really struggling to cope."
After being defeated in two rounds, Hydreigon's dominance over Dracovish was evident, causing many of Ash's supporters to feel anxious.
The audience cheered and talked excitedly.
"Wow, she's really strong!"
"It looks exactly like the previous Maw of Venus!"
"Has Kashiwagi changed his tactics? After Pikachu left the field, Hydreigon didn't leave either. Are you no longer using the one-on-one strategy?"
As this person said, many viewers are discussing this point.
Kashiwagi's tendency to switch with his opponents has become a signature move. Everyone thought he would use the same strategy in the finals, but it seems he didn't.
"pity!"
Iris felt sorry for Ash, "Dracovish still needs to grow!"
In her view, the pure and simple-minded Gillfish Dragon has unlimited potential. As long as it continues to grow like the Haxorus, it will definitely not be defeated by Hydreigon in two rounds.
The others around were also worried for Ash.
"It seems Kashiwagi isn't planning on trading Pokémon."
Seeing that Kashiwagi made no move to take out a Poké Ball, Brock said seriously, "I hope Smart seizes the opportunity!"
Compared to an opponent in its prime, a Pokémon that has fought for a long time is undoubtedly easier to defeat.
A spacious lounge.
The atmosphere did not quiet down with Leon's arrival. The Kashiwagi family's Pokémon cheered and celebrated as if no one else was around, which was quite eye-catching.
Because they were all wearing special support outfits sewn by Evil Pine, they sang and danced under the leadership of Alola Meowth, and even their Roaring Tail made beautiful sounds, no longer the noisy noises they used to make without knowing how to control the volume.
"Bonnie~"
Little Ponkan pulled Anxin'er and Hupa together to jump, while the various champions and gym leaders around them watched with smiles.
Dan Di withdrew his gaze from the group of children and smiled at Zhu Lan, saying, "It seems that Bai Mu has changed his tactics?"
He was eager to know the opinion of the champion who had battled against both Ash and Kashiwagi.
"It was probably an accident."
Zhu Lan said calmly, "Xiao Zhi's weakness is that he is too young and lacks experience. But he also has unexpected strengths, which I think you, Dan Di, are aware of."
Emperor Dan nodded in agreement.
A large part of the reason he admires Ash is that Ash often brings him unexpected surprises.
Inside the stadium.
Ash recalled his Dracovish. "Thank you, Dracovish, you did a great job!"
He turned to look at the cypress tree and the three-headed dragon in the distance, "Shall we make a trade? Or are we not going to make a trade?"
If the opponent suddenly chooses to switch, the Pokémon they send out next might be at a disadvantage...
"Yes, it's okay."
Ash pulled out a new Poké Ball, nodded slightly, and said, "Whatever Kashiwagi's choice is, we will rise to the challenge! Go, Gengar!"
boom!
A white light flashed.
The Pokémon that appeared in the arena was Gengar!
The host exclaimed in surprise, "Ash has sent out a Ghost-type Pokémon! What's his intention?!"
When facing a Dark/Dragon-type Pokémon, should you send out a Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon that is weak against your opponent?
It's hard to understand whether this is a sign of importance or a lack thereof.
The audience was also surprised by his choice.
Emperor Dan was taken aback for a moment, then said to Zhu Lan, "It was indeed unexpected. It seems he can't wait any longer."
"Ah."
Zhu Lan nodded. Xiao Zhi's choice was unexpected by others, yet it was also within her expectations.
It feels a bit odd that Ash didn't send out these Pokémon.
Then.
How will Kashiwagi respond?
Zhu Lan's gaze shifted to the three-headed dragon, which was radiating fury.
"Sigh..."
It felt deeply humiliated by the provocation it had received from its opponent, especially since the provocation was directed at its own offensive capabilities.
But in his anger, the three-headed dragon also realized his opponent's intentions.
The trainer's voice came from behind: "You guessed right, are you ready to take this?"
"Sigh!"
The three-headed dragon responded loudly without hesitation!
as predicted.
Not long after Gengar appeared, seeing that Kashiwagi had no intention of trading, Ash immediately recalled it with a Poké Ball, and the host immediately realized his intention.
"It's coming! Ash's first system!! Dynamax!!"
Dynamax is about to happen!
The audience erupted in cheers, their eyes fixed intently on the large screen where the camera was focused on the Poké Ball and the Maxim Band.
Ash's voice rang out amidst the Galar particles continuously flowing into the Poké Ball, "Gengar! Gigantamax!"
He shouted and hurled a huge ball of light forward.
The clear sky was instantly covered by rolling purplish-red clouds, casting a faint red glow down onto the field.
boom!
The giant, glowing Poké Ball exploded, and a strangely shaped Gengar flew out. Three red clouds swirled above its head, and its round body gradually grew to enormous size. Its pale purple body gleamed with a dark light, and its mouth opened wide like a doorway, extending all the way to the ground. Its bright red tongue protruded like a giant snake!
It stared with a pair of yellow lantern-like eyes, and its overall appearance was just like the gates of hell!
"Gah~~!"
The Gigantamax Gengar let out a deep, muffled roar, and surging waves of air spread out in all directions!
Wow!
Countless spectators cheered excitedly as they watched Gengar occupy almost a quarter of the venue.
"Gigantamax Gengar has arrived! The Gigantamax effect compensates for Gengar's relatively weak HP! Is this Ash's strategy?"
The host shouted out loud.
As soon as the words were spoken, the enormous Gigantamax Gengar unleashed its first attack.
"Go! Dynamax Fairy!"
Ash suddenly threw a punch forward, his tone filled with unwavering conviction.
"Jie Jie Jie!"
Gigantamax Gengar let out a sharp, eerie laugh that echoed through the sky, and the Gigantamax energy formed by Galar particles rolled out in all directions, gathering into countless huge pink meteors in the high sky!
They were like a meteor shower falling from the sky, trailing a massive torrent of energy behind them, gleaming with a soft yet powerful light as they hurtled toward the three-headed dragon below!
The terrifying roar echoed throughout the arena as they fell, covering such a wide area that it almost filled all the three-headed dragons' dodging space!
Kashiwagi: "Hold on!"
"Sigh!"
The three-headed dragon roared, its entire body radiating a dazzling light, forming a spherical light shield composed of countless hexagons!
next moment.
boom!!
The pastel-colored stars crashed into the three-headed dragon's shield, and the rainbow's radiance instantly engulfed everyone's vision. A pink torrent of energy surged high, and a huge five-pointed star pattern appeared around the torrent, tearing apart everything visible to the naked eye!
What terrifying power!
Gengar's Dynamax Fairy was no ordinary weapon; it violently shook the Protect barrier held up by Hydreigon.
The dazzling pastel-colored light gradually shattered the light shield, and then, as if finding an outlet, it slammed into the three-headed dragon!
Rumble rumble rumble!
A violent shockwave swept across the entire arena, sending dust and energy waves flying everywhere. A deep crater was blasted into the ground, and countless fragments of rock rained down on the audience, only to be blocked by the protective devices, making a crackling sound.
The host shouted, "What a fierce Dynamax Fairy! Hydreigon's defenses can't withstand it!"
Wow!
The applause was thunderous.
Ash's supporters were overjoyed, and also very relieved that Hydreigon's Protect, unlike Aggron, could perfectly defend against Dynamax moves.
In fact, it's normal that it can't be protected. If a regular Protect can withstand Dynamax moves, what's the point of Dynamax Guard?
The arena was filled with smoke, but it would be dispersed by a strong gust of wind.
Its origin is none other than the three-headed dragon!
"Roar……"
It let out a low growl, and the applause from the audience quickly faded, because it looked perfectly fine, not at all like it had been hit by a move that dealt four times the damage.
Xiao Zhi clenched his fist tightly and said in a low voice, "It's still a bit lacking."
"It's more than just a little."
Kashiwagi's expression remained unchanged as he deduced what Xiaozhi was saying from his lip movements.
While Hydreigon's Guardian ability isn't as powerful as Aggron's, it can at least reduce damage by over 90%.
As the Pokémon that adheres to the "middle way" among the three giants, Husky is quite outstanding in both offense and defense!
Even though his companions have all reached level 90, he can still firmly hold the third position in Platinum Silver Mountain!
"It's my turn!"
He lifted the Poké Ball he had prepared beforehand, and before Ash could let Gigantamax Gengar use its second Dynamax move, he quickly recalled Hydreigon.
Host: "Kashiwagi recalled Hydreigon, is he going to... Gigantamax!?"
Crimson Galar particles continuously poured into the Poké Ball from the Max Bracelet, and with Ash's solemn expression, he suddenly threw the ball.
"Come on! Dynamax against Gigantamax!"
boom!
The three-headed dragon appeared, surrounded by crimson light, and three red clouds appeared above its head. Its body expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In the blink of an eye, a ferocious dragon that occupied almost half of the area descended!
"Roar!!"
The Dynamaxed Hydreigon raised its head and roared, its deafening howl carrying a world-destroying power. It stared intently at the Gigantamax Gengar opposite it, its intense pressure suffocating the opponent.
Its roar immediately triggered the protective devices, eliciting excited screams from countless spectators.
Beast against beast!
Another spectacular sight is about to appear!
Backstage in the studio, Olive immediately notified the engineers, "Quick! Get to the protective gear area!"
She was very worried that the protective device would not be able to withstand the clash between the two Pokémon. Leon's three Gigantamax Inferno attacks had almost destroyed them before, and this time it was even more uncertain whether they would survive!
Just as Oliver had thought.
The first impact has arrived!
"Max Magnum Bully!"
"Giant Goblin!"
Kashiwagi and Ash gave the order at the same time, and the two Dynamaxed Pokémon responded by either letting out eerie laughter or roaring loudly.
A shower of pastel-colored meteors crashed down from the sky, one after another seemingly intent on completely covering the entire area.
A surge of dark red energy erupted from the ground, forming two enormous dark red high-energy beams on either side of the Dynamax Hydreigon. With its roar, these beams surged like long dragons and charged toward the Gigantamax Gengar!
Wherever the dark red dragon passed, the air was torn apart and the earth was eroded!
In an instant.
A pastel-colored meteor, symbolizing the ultimate, collided violently with a dark red dragon in the arena. A burst of dazzling light erupted instantly, and a deafening explosion shook the heavens and the earth. The terrifying energies tore each other apart, forming a huge storm that swept across the entire arena and even the sky!
The protective devices in front of the stands groaned under the violent tremors, as if they might collapse at any moment!
Gigantamax Gengar and Dynamax Hydreigon were also engulfed by the storm, and no one could see the situation inside the arena. It wasn't until the two energies gradually annihilated each other in the continuous collision, turning into a sky full of glimmers of light and dust, that the scene inside was revealed.
