beep!
On the big screen, the icon for King Kong, below D'Antoni's image, is dimmed.
The world champions have had a bad start!
Multiple news headlines trended on social media, and no one expected that in the first round of the Eight Masters' battle, the first Pokémon to be eliminated would be him!
Could it be that the title of this year's strongest champion is truly uncertain?
Kashiwagi was equally surprised, considering that in the story, Raptor easily defeated Alain's Bricaron and Squidward, but now it had become the first Pokémon among the eight masters to be defeated.
In my past life, I might have been nailed to the pillar of shame on the spot.
However, Rumble's performance was by no means bad, it was just that it encountered Karune's ace, Mega Gardevoir.
No matter how powerful Dan Di is, there has never been a situation where his main force defeated his ace.
Usually, it's the ace who solves the ace...
Ok?
The hierarchy is inexplicably strict.
The audience was abuzz with discussion, and the live stream chat was also filled with heated debate. Everyone was curious about Dan Di's inner journey at that moment.
Ash blinked, wondering if he had seen it wrong. He felt that Karune's tactical style was very similar to Kashiwagi's.
The Rockets trio returned to the stands and continued the live broadcast. There were other staff members at Ore TV, so they weren't needed for the time being.
Kojiro and Meowth were both surprised that Karune had taken the lead so quickly, while Musashi looked unconvinced, "It's still a long way off! Go, Leon!"
She actually cheered for Dan Di.
Inside the venue.
Dan Di recalled the Thunder King Kong, which had lost its ability to fight, and his face showed a smile that turned from surprise. "I really didn't expect this."
He would find it perfectly normal if the same behavior happened to Kashiwagi, but what about when it happened to Karune?
Did the battle against Kashiwagi have such a big impact?
Even though he was still fighting Karune, Leon couldn't help but start looking forward to the battle to come.
In a way, this can be considered his unique arrogance.
After all, as Dan Di said, he would go all out and win in the end, no matter who it was!
"Go! Ace Flame!"
boom!
A flash of light.
A white rabbit resembling a soccer player landed on the field, hopping back and forth like a fighting master.
The moment Karune saw Cinderace, she decisively switched out Mega Gardevoir.
She had to ensure that her "star" still had enough stamina to deal with Dan's real trump card.
After all, I still have two Pokémon, which should be enough to deal with Cinderace!
"Monsterjawosaurus, it's your turn to perform!"
boom!
"Roar!"
The powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex makes its appearance, and the Cinderace moves the instant it appears.
Leon: "Fireball!"
"Ha!!"
Flame Ace stomped heavily on the ground, and his body instantly burst into flames. The extreme heat caused it to spin and curl violently, converging into a sphere the size of a stone block.
It gazed at the distant Tyrannosaurus Rex, and its powerful right leg lashed out through the air!
Ouch!
With a deafening thud, the ball of fire transformed into a streak of crimson meteor, hurtling towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex!
The air was distorted by the scorching fireball, leaving a charred, scorching fire mark on the ground. It was so fast that it left an afterimage, covering a distance of tens of meters in the blink of an eye, heading straight for the face of the Monster Jaw Dragon!
Fortunately, Karuni had already given the command, "Rock Slide!"
"Roar!"
The Jawed Dragon roared, its thick feet slamming into the ground. Instantly, a large number of sharp rocks burst from the earth, and the densely packed rocks crashed down on the incoming fireball, like an impenetrable stone wall, determined to completely crush the fireball.
The two collided violently in front of it.
boom--!!
The blazing flames clashed violently with the hard rocks, and the fireball exploded instantly upon hitting the rocks, sending sparks and rubble flying everywhere.
Thick smoke enveloped the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body, and the moment Cinderace landed, its slender, well-proportioned body shot forward like an arrow.
"Ha!!"
Faced with flying pebbles, it can dodge with agility and elusiveness, like a constantly drifting race car.
A faint white light enveloped its body, and the hair between its eyebrows turned pure white.
The announcer exclaimed, "Ace Flame's appearance has changed! The Liberty ability has activated!"
The hair between his eyebrows turned from red to white – that was clearly a flash of lightning!
Clearly, the moment the explosion rang out, Dan had already taken over the next command; he didn't even wait for the smoke to clear before checking the Tyrannosaurus's condition.
Of course, Tyranitar has four times the resistance to fire, so it would be strange if it could be defeated by a fireball.
This move is more like it is now, used to create smoke to cover up Flare Ace's long-distance dashes.
Although Karunie's vision was obscured by the smoke, she still understood Flame Ace's intention through the announcer's shouts and the flashing light in the smoke.
The enemy is approaching!
"Monsterjaw Dragon! Jump! Earthquake!"
"Roar!"
Upon hearing the sound, the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the smoke strained with its legs, its nearly half-ton body bursting through the smoke while simultaneously dodging the lightning bolt from the Cinderace.
As Cinderace raised its head, it saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex's feet glowing with a yellowish-brown light, about to fall towards it.
Dan: "Jump!"
In an instant, the hair between Cinderace's eyebrows turned from white to blue. The effect of the Freeman ability first changes the Pokémon's type, so at this moment it has become a Flying-type!
Boom!
The Jaw Dragon fell from the sky, channeling all its power into the earth, causing the ground to tremble violently.
The earthy yellow ground-type energy surged and spread like a tidal wave, and bottomless cracks spread rapidly from the center of the Tyranitar, with shockwaves advancing layer by layer, heading straight for the nearby Cinderace.
However, due to the change in attributes, Cinderace only suffered minor vibration damage at this moment. The shockwave, which was purely composed of ground-attribute energy, was like a gentle breeze to it.
"Ha!!"
With a leap, it reached a height of forty or fifty meters in the blink of an eye, and could reach out and touch the curved beams above the palace arena, which were covered with bright lights.
Karuni frowned deeply.
I wasn't too surprised by the opponent's "Freelancer" ability, but I was wary of Cinderace's move combos.
The brief time between Tyranitar's leap and landing allowed the Flame Ace, which had been electrifying, to immediately switch to the Flying attribute, causing Earthquake to lose 99% of its power.
"Rockfall!"
It's ok!
If it dares to change its attributes, we dare to attack!
Karuni quickly gave the order, and the Monster Jaw Dragon swiftly changed its attack, raising its head and roaring. A large number of rocks shot into the sky again. This time, the rockfall was wider and denser, whistling towards the falling Blaze Ace.
Given its current state, a Rock-type attack against a Flying-type is highly likely to result in its immediate defeat, much like Rillaboom!
But the situation is never that simple.
The Flame Ace began to flip, its body enveloped in flight-attribute energy. It kicked a flying rock and successfully dodged its explosion using its speed.
Based on this, it bounces back and forth between rockfalls with astonishing agility!
Rock collapse seal!
Kashiwagi watched this scene in astonishment.
Others might not understand the techniques used by Leon, but he wouldn't forget that it was clearly a variation of the tactics Ash used when challenging the Haruka Gym.
The only difference is that one rock flies downwards, while Ash's Pokémon dreams of jumping into the sky.
The Rock Slide from the Tyranitar flies upwards, while the Cinderace's Rock Slide flies downwards.
Of course, what is even more noteworthy is that Bounce, as a Flying-type move, is inherently weak against Rock-type moves, yet Cinderace can execute it so easily and swiftly.
It is evident that its strength in energy micro-management exceeds many people's expectations.
An Xin'er nervously gripped Bai Mu's arm, "Uncle..."
"Don't panic, trust your aunt."
He responded gently.
After Karen, who learned from him, has another Leon appeared who learned from Ash?
This is not something that is hard to understand. As a champion, you should learn from the experience of others and avoid some detours.
The fact that Leon can learn Ash's moves only shows that this world champion values Ash highly.
What Kashiwagi didn't know was that Leon had learned Ash's techniques quite thoroughly. Not only did he learn Rock Slide, but he also learned Counter Shield, which he used in his battle against Ash in the original story.
Karuni, who was in the arena, was momentarily stunned when she saw Blaze's move, and then shouted, "Dragon Claw!"
"Roar!"
The Monster Jaw Dragon quickly changed its tactics.
The reason she didn't continue using Rock-type moves was because Karune anticipated that Leon would also change his moves—
really!
"Flying knee kick!"
When it was less than five meters away from the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the hair between its eyebrows turned brownish-red.
Immediately following, it bent its knees to gather strength, its knees igniting with a rich fighting-type light. Its body moved in an instant, carrying a sharp force and the momentum of breaking through the wind, kicking straight at the opponent's huge head!
The Jaw Dragon was already moving very fast, but it was still far inferior to the Flame King. Just as it raised its claws, the Flying Knee Kick struck its head first, like Mount Tai crashing down, instantly shattering the ground beneath it.
Boom!
The ground shattered like a thin, crisp biscuit, and a ring of strong wind suddenly swept out. The Jaw Dragon slammed its jaws to the ground with a muffled roar of pain, sending up countless pebbles!
But its dragon claws did not dissipate and were still fiercely swung at Flame Ace.
The latter darted away, dodging the dragon's claw attack, his eyes sharp as knives.
"Ha!!"
"Stand up, Tyrannosaurus Rex! Dragon Claw!"
Karuni shouted.
The monstrous Jaw Dragon rose up in response, channeling its unbearable pain and intense dizziness into rage, roaring at its opponent with all its might, its short, thick claws glowing with emerald light.
Although it's a move that's super effective against a type of monster, the Reflect Wall left by Mega Gardevoir is still there. Even though it's mostly broken, the physical damage reduction it can provide is limited, but it's still enough to keep Tyranitar afloat.
Dan Di remained expressionless and said with a smile, "Accept this provocation! Iron Head!"
"Ha!!"
Cinderace lunged forward, its brow hair turning silver, and then its entire head became shimmering silver before it slammed its feet into the Jaw Dragon.
The latter struggled to swing its dragon claws to defend itself, but the steel and dragon attributes clashed, and the dragon claws were eventually deflected by the iron head.
Cinderace charged forward and slammed viciously into Tyrannosaurus's chest.
"Roar……"
The monstrous dragon was knocked back repeatedly, its brows revealing its exhaustion, its stamina clearly nearing its limit.
Dan was quite surprised, "They're pretty resilient... but it's almost over, flying knee kick! The final blow!"
"Monsterjaw Dragon! Spirit Fang!" Karuni still refused to give up.
In her plan, it would be best if Tyranitar could defeat Flame Ace, but if it couldn't, it should at least have some of its stamina depleted.
Like Kashiwagi, Dante is someone whose offensive opportunities are extremely difficult to seize.
If their Pokémon can't defeat them in one hit, they'll have to wait to be defeated in return.
"Ha!!"
Cinderace's knees flashed with a reddish-brown light as he swiftly sidestepped Tyrannosaurus Rex's Psychic Fang, gathering all his power to slam into the weakest spot on Tyrannosaurus Rex's abdomen!
Bang!
A heavy, muffled thud!
The Fighting attribute's dash attack counters this move, delivering perfect damage in one strike!
The host couldn't help but exclaim, "Exquisite offensive moves!"
In an instant.
The force of the flying knee kick completely penetrated the monster's defenses, causing the monster's accumulated injuries to erupt and draining its remaining strength.
"Roar……"
The monstrous dragon roared in a low voice, its massive body shaking violently, unable to maintain its balance even with its claws braced against the ground.
Finally, it could no longer hold on, its strength exhausted, and it knelt down, its fierce eyes turning into black circles, completely losing its ability to fight.
Deng Pei approached and immediately announced the result of the match.
"Monsterjaw Dragon is unable to battle! Flame Ace wins!"
beep!
On the big screen, the icon for the Monster Jaw Dragon below Karuni's portrait is dimmed.
Wow!
The audience erupted in applause!
The world champion has successfully turned the tide!
"call……"
Karuni exhaled a breath of stale air, recalled the Jaw Dragon, and gazed at the spirited Dan Emperor in the distance, feeling that the world's king was indeed not so easy to defeat.
The Flame Ace is so agile that it's difficult to even touch it.
Normally, that rockfall, even if it doesn't defeat the opponent outright, should at least deplete half of their stamina.
Who knew he would pull out such an incredible technique.
In the audience, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel that what he had just seen looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Inside the Luna Gym, Yulijia was already overjoyed.
"It was sealed with a rock seal! Ash is amazing!"
“The person I’m battling now isn’t Ash…” Clemont was embarrassed, but seeing a similar scene after so long couldn’t help but make him excited.
Go for it, Ash!
He clenched his fist.
Inside the Palace Arena, Karune took a few deep breaths before sending out her third Pokémon.
"Lugi!"
The Wrestling Hawkman has arrived!
At the same moment, she raised her plain arm, revealing the enormous wristband on it.
The host exclaimed in surprise, "Karnee has used Dynamax!"
The second system is here!
Before Cinderace could launch an attack, Karune had already recalled Hawkman. A large amount of purple light flew from the Max Bracer into the Poké Ball, causing it to instantly swell and transform into a purplish-red ball of light larger than her head.
She bounced gently, then suddenly threw it forward!
Bang!
The Wrestling Hawkman, glowing red all over, reappeared, his short body growing rapidly at a visible speed, one inch, two inches, ten inches... a hundred inches!
"Lu-ge-"
The powerful shouts, along with its movements showcasing its chest muscles and physique, resounded throughout the entire arena!
Gigantamax Hawkman has arrived!
P.S.: In the ninth generation, both [Freelancer] and [Changeable] can only be used once per battle.
But this is an eighth-generation battle, so...
Regression!
