Chapter 1415 First Battle with Daigo
"Excadrill is unable to battle, Garchomp wins, therefore the winner of this match is Cynthia!"
Deng Pei raised his right hand, announcing the end of the third match of the first round.
The host announced loudly: "The semifinalists are confirmed! Sinnoh champion Cynthia's tactics and skill are superior! She has triumphed and become the ultimate winner!"
slam-la-
Thunderous applause erupted, like waves crashing one after another.
Countless excited eyes were fixed on the scene below, and cheers continued to pour in.
Cynthia leaped into the shattered and sunken arena and whispered to Garchomp, who had just de-Mega Evolved, "Thank you, Garchomp."
"Crack!"
Garchomp nodded slightly.
Both of them looked at the distance, where Alice, who had already come to the side of Excadrill, hugged her Pokémon tenderly, ignoring the sand and dust on the ground.
She murmured softly, "You've already tried your best, Dragon Head Mole, thank you for your hard work."
The dragon-headed ground squirrel, its eyes half-closed in weariness, silently and slowly closed its eyes.
Zhu Lan stepped closer, "Alice!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Miss Zhulan!" Alice quickly rose to greet her, trying her best to keep her tone calm. "We will definitely become stronger in the future!"
Looking at her expression, Zhu Lan said in a comforting tone, "I should be thanking you. Thank you for giving me an unforgettable battle."
The conversation between the two also encompassed a wide range of topics.
Friends and family in Dragon Village looked on with disappointment, feeling especially sorry for Alice.
Everyone looked at the elder, who calmly said, "Let's comfort the child properly when she returns."
"Oh!"
The residents of Dragon Village responded immediately.
Inside the room where the Four Heavenly Kings of Unova were gathered, Lianwu suddenly stood up and left: "I'm going to train!"
Lingju pinched the coin and said, "You're still too green, aren't you, Cattleya—"
Cattleya had vanished without a trace.
Alice and Orchid were both people she supported, so much so that she didn't dare to look closely at the final scene and teleported away immediately.
Escaping is shameful, but it's useful!
In the small room, Wanlong lamented for Alice, and then inspiration flowed like a fountain, causing her to pick up her pen and write with shining eyes, muttering to herself.
The arena was noisy. The Rockets' trio, as was their habit, stood up for their acquaintances and even empathized with them, shouting that Alice would definitely get her revenge next time.
Ash got up and left his seat without a word, which surprised Hop. "Ash!?"
His match is over, right?
Inside the contestant tunnel, Ash saw Iris walking slowly towards him and comforted her with concern, "Iris, you've worked hard, you were just a little short."
"Pikachu~"
"Ash... Pikachu..."
Alice's tense expression relaxed, and large tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, involuntarily streaming down her face. "Miss Zhulan is so strong, so incredibly strong!"
She was so unwilling to accept it, even more unwilling than when she lost to Kashiwagi. She felt she had let down the Pokémon's trust and couldn't help but cry softly.
Fortunately, Alice's strength lies in her ability to control herself. After crying loudly for a couple of minutes, she sniffled and immediately felt better.
"Go for it, Ash! I'll be cheering you on!"
"Ok!"
Xiao Zhi nodded earnestly, "Please help me!"
The fourth match of the first round was scheduled for the afternoon. The champions who were still at the venue at noon gathered again, their eyes shifting between Daigo and Kashiwagi.
The two people about to appear appeared calm and composed, even having the leisure to share food.
Who will emerge victorious in the semifinals?
Although Kashiwagi had shown a complete victory against the champions before, no one can say for sure until the very last moment.
After all, this is Daigo!
There's a saying circulating online that Steven resigned as champion because he wasn't interested, but later became champion again because the trainers in the Hoenn region lacked talent.
This shows just how highly respected his abilities were.
Who will break through the encirclement and reach the semi-finals: Daigo or Kashiwagi?
-
"Of course it's me."
Kashiwagi said to the Rockets trio as if it were perfectly natural, "Why do you have such a question? Are you underestimating me?"
Meow, who was eating the sandwich he shared, was so startled she almost choked. She pounded her chest and then chuckled sheepishly, "No way, meow..."
"But isn't Daigo known for being both strong and powerful?"
The carefree Musashi said, "Besides, he also has the title of the strongest Mega Evolution! And he's been the champion for so many years."
Kashiwagi laughed and said, "The champion's strength has nothing to do with age, otherwise how would Ash have won? As for the strongest Mega Evolution... it's time to change that title."
Kojiro exclaimed excitedly, "What a powerful statement! We'll cheer you on with all our might from the stands!"
"Whoosh!"
Sure enough, Weng shouted as he chewed his sandwich.
Upon hearing this, Meow Meow and Musashi immediately pledged their loyalty to one of their bosses, Kashiwagi.
Having worked in the Oure area for less than a month, they had already successfully paid off most of their debts, and with the added benefit of being able to eat at the college cafeteria, they were able to enjoy a full meal after a long time.
Kashiwagi's generosity, coupled with Sakaki's tacit approval, spurred the Rockets trio to work even harder.
If it weren't for the three of them still having an obsession with catching Pikachu... or rather, their inner demons, they probably would have already chosen to leave Team Rocket, right?
The midday hour passed quickly.
Soon, the fourth match of the first round of the Eight Masters elimination tournament began, and the main event was about to begin.
The fate of the five people will be decided in this very short time, and countless spectators inside and outside the stadium are extremely tense and excited.
People all over the world gathered in front of their televisions, waiting for the match they had been eagerly anticipating to begin.
Backstage in the studio, Yamamoto clenched his fists, beads of sweat involuntarily appearing on his forehead. Danji was taken aback at first, then smiled and patted his shoulder lightly.
In the preparation room, when Zhu Lan arrived, she saw An Xin'er's adorable appearance with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed in prayer, and couldn't help but smile: "This child."
"Hmph! That wretched Kashiwagi!"
Karuni was indignant; she felt that An Xin'er hadn't cared about her competitions this much.
Iris and Ash both came to the audience seats, and the two had very similar views on the competition.
"Although Mr. Daigo is very strong, I think Kashiwagi will definitely win."
"Yes, that's right!"
Hep, standing nearby, was dumbfounded. "So certain? Why? Just because he has the Different Colored Sky Steed as his partner?"
Xiao Zhi scratched his head sheepishly and said, "It's probably just intuition."
“Kashiwagi is different from ordinary trainers.” As a Dragon-type champion, Iris could keenly perceive the difference in him.
She often felt that Kashiwagi was less like a human and more like a dragon Pokémon.
Ok.
Or rather, the really fierce kind.
Alice couldn't explain the reason either; she just assumed it was because Kashiwagi had spent too much time with Dragon-type Pokémon.
Didn't he become friends with even the different-colored Raging Void?
It's perfectly normal for him to be covered in too much dragon-related aura!
at last.
Amidst the grand symphony, Kashiwagi and Daigo each took the stage, waving to the cheering audience.
The two arrived at the trainer's seats one after the other and looked at each other from afar.
When Deng Pei announced the rules of the match, when he mentioned Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-Moves, both players' wrists and chests were focused on by the Rotom drone.
Viewers were surprised to discover that both of them possessed three different systems!
Kashiwagi asked with a smile, "Has Daigo-san completed the island pilgrimage?"
"Yes."
Daigo touched the Z-Bracelet on his wrist. "I suffered a lot to give you a surprise."
"Suffering? I think you're probably enjoying it more than suffering." He didn't believe a word Daigo said.
How could a die-hard rock enthusiast think that collecting rare items like Z-pure crystals is a form of torture?
Back in Ore, he was the kind of person who dared to venture into abandoned mines and reach the turbulent, dangerous underground river!
Daigo laughed, "You really know me. I'm looking forward to the next match, and I'll show you why I'm so strong and powerful."
"Bring it on."
Kashiwagi ended his conversation with Daigo after Deng Pei finished announcing the rules.
Both players threw their first Poké Ball forward as instructed by the referee.
Boom!
A white light burst forth.
The Pokémon that appeared in front of Steven was Skarmory. As the champion's Pokémon, it was significantly more robust than any other Pokémon Kashiwagi had ever seen, and its wings were extremely thick and wide.
It gives you the feeling of facing a supersonic fighter jet head-on.
"Gah!"
The armored bird's call was hoarse.
In contrast, a different colored Milotic entered before Kashiwagi, its elegant figure and golden scales dazzling and mesmerizing to many who cast their gaze upon it.
The host exclaimed, "No wonder it's a Pokémon with top-notch coordination training! Its beautiful appearance is truly unique!"
Even Gardevoir, Carne's pet, had never been so moved by him.
This shows how good the first impression of the exotic Milotic is; many viewers unconsciously took out their phones to take remote photos, wanting to capture this beautiful moment.
The fan club of the Kashiwagi family's Big Mouth Kid was the most excited.
Without a doubt, although the fan club is named after the Big Mouth Kid, it actually supports the entire Kashiwagi family.
They were initially drawn to Mawile, but later became interested in other Pokémon and didn't want to change the name of the fan club, so they kept the original name.
The Rockets' trio excitedly introduced themselves to the audience, their energetic performance making the spectators around them feel ashamed.
Of course, on the one hand, they wanted to curry favor with their new boss, Kashiwagi, and on the other hand, they were really hoping that Kashiwagi would win.
This feeling is connected to countless people, whether they were present at the scene or watching on television or their mobile phones.
Even Michael of the Glass Dojo, under the coercion and enticement of his niece, switched from supporting his best friend to supporting Kashiwagi.
They don't need him at all.
A tense atmosphere was building in the venue. A moment later, Deng Pei suddenly waved and left.
"Game start!"
The urgent whistle echoed as Kashiwagi and Daigo gave the order in unison.
"Please let it rain!"
"Invisible Rock!"
The two Pokémon responded immediately, each unleashing their fastest speed to prepare.
And naturally, the opposite-colored Milotic is faster.
It raises its head and sings, its beautiful voice summoning large swaths of dark clouds to the clear sky.
Swish...
A light drizzle began to fall in an instant, gradually wetting the ground.
At the same moment, the armored bird screeched and hurled a large number of yellowish-brown rocks forward.
They are evenly distributed throughout the site, emitting light briefly before disappearing quickly, waiting only for someone destined to touch them.
however.
The invisibility of the rocks only means they are invisible; it doesn't mean they have actually disappeared from this area.
When the rain falls lightly, others may not notice, but Kashiwagi can clearly observe which raindrops are abnormal, thus determining the location of the Hidden Rock.
If he can see, it means that the Pokémon can see too.
Daigo was slightly taken aback, then laughed in surprise, "I see, there's such a method?"
He then gave the order: "But I think I can also make use of rainy days! Storm!"
"Gah!"
The Skarmory screeched and soared to a great height. Unlike Dragonite, which summoned a tornado storm directly, it circled around Milotic below, forming a tornado hurricane that bound Milotic within it!
Rumble—!!
The ground trembled, and the whirlwind created by the armored bird suddenly sucked away the rain, causing the tornado to gradually cover the water, adding even more power.
Seeing this, Kashiwagi remained calm and said, "Come on, go with it! Let it see the power of offense as defense!"
"Miro!"
The Shiny Milotic responded, its tail fins condensing into a spiral shape like a flower blooming, and in the blink of an eye, a blue storm surged forth, charging headlong into the surrounding storm that was gradually compressing in!
In an instant, the ground shook violently.
However, the two different energies did not clash, but instead gradually merged into one in the astonished gazes of many viewers.
They couldn't see what was inside the tornado, only that the armored bird's swirling flight suddenly became somewhat strange.
It's as if it went from actively spinning to creating a hurricane to being passively spun, as if it had been swept into a washing machine.
Steven shouted, "Skaven! Take back control! Ride the storm!"
"Gah!!"
The armored bird cried out loudly, trying to break free from the pull of the variegated Minos below and regain control of the waterspout hurricane.
However, the micro-management skills of the Shiny Milotic are ridiculously strong. It doesn't use Tornado to directly confront Skarmory's Hurricane. Instead, it pulls, takes control, and then turns the tables, making it spin according to its own will!
Technique fusion!
The signature move of top-level coordination training!
Daigo knew this move very well; his good friend Wallace was an expert at it. However, the difference was that Wallace couldn't possibly trigger Skarmory's storm like this.
It has nothing to do with technology; it's purely a difference in ability.
A Shiny Milotic must be incredibly powerful to easily control all of this.
"Does the student surpass the teacher?"
Daigo looked up at Skarmory and knew that the latter was gradually losing its strength, so he quickly ordered, "Ultra-speed movement to escape!"
"Gah!"
At the trainer's command, Skarmory flapped its wings and, with its broad and powerful wings, successfully broke free from the grip of the waterspout hurricane.
But in the next second, the hurricane suddenly spread out in all directions, like a wall of air, and smashed straight into the armored bird, causing its body to fly backward until it left the field.
At the same time, the invisible rocks it created were also swept away. These hidden stones were as if they had been hit by the "Clear Fog" effect, and they were all sent flying into the audience seats. The shattering of each one triggered the activation of the protective devices.
The host exclaimed, "A tornado kills two birds with one stone! Is this the skill of Kashiwagi?!"
