Chapter 1401 "Despicable" Woman
"Hoo-ri!"
The Thunder King Kong responded to the call, its thick right arm muscles taut, and pure evil energy condensed in its palm, transforming into a dark black halo.
At the same time, it used its wooden drum as a fulcrum and leaped towards the Gardevoir on the other side!
Boom!
His muscular figure streaked across the sky, leaping nearly twenty meters in the blink of an eye, and then soaring again, like a triple jump across the entire field!
It's important to know that the Palace Arena is over 100 meters long, designed to allow Dynamax Pokémon to move freely. Even if two Pokémon aren't positioned at the bottom, they're still about 60 or 70 meters apart.
But it seemed to take only two or three steps for it.
So fast!
Even though the audience had watched Dan Di's matches countless times, they couldn't help but marvel at the strength he displayed.
Gardevoir's expression was serious, and its steps were as light as a dance as it dodged to the side to maintain its distance from Rillaboom, while its hands were raised high, releasing a faint pinkish-purple glow.
The light condensed high above, transforming into a small, golden full moon.
"Sha na!"
With a low shout, the full moon suddenly became dazzling and radiant, instantly shooting out a beam of brilliant golden energy. Its surface was covered with fine pinkish-purple particles, and the air seemed to tremble as if it were about to shatter.
hum! !
A piercing sound accompanied by blinding golden light, like a high-tech ray, rushed straight at the charging Thunder King Kong.
In an instant, a powerful flash of light erupted!
Then the light quickly dimmed, and the explosion that many viewers had imagined did not occur. What appeared before them was a bizarre scene: the Thunder King Kong aloft his right arm, wreathed in black and red, slicing through the moonlight like a razor.
The roar of energy infusion continued to echo, but it also made it difficult for Gardevoir to get close to it again.
The two sides seemed to be at a stalemate.
Unfortunately, ranged attacks against melee attacks, and Dark attributes against Fairy attributes, are destined to be somewhat inferior.
Under Gardevoir's continuous beams of moonlight, Raptor's legs gradually slid backward, leaving two shallow grooves.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse!
The host couldn't help but shout, "Both sides are going all out at the start of the match! Gardevoir has successfully used the power of the moon to suppress Rillaboom! The first round of attacks is about to reveal its outcome!"
Despite the weakening state of the Thunder King Kong, Dan Di seemed oblivious, calmly waving his hand and saying, "Go!"
"Hoo-ri!"
The Thunder King Kong's eyes flashed, and it took a step back with its left leg to support its body. Then, it roared and exerted force with its right arm. With this explosive power, it managed to push the other back in a very short time.
It was in this brief moment that it escaped the energy shock and restraint of the moonlight.
Boom!!
The full power of moonlight shot straight to the arena, creating a terrifying shockwave and dust!
Before the host could even speak, a streak of sky-blue light appeared in the smoke-filled venue.
"acrobatics!"
"Strengthen your willpower! Seize it!"
The commands from Leon and Karune rang out in turn, and then the streaks of light that shot out dispersed the dust and mist, revealing the massive figure of the Thunder King Kong, which appeared to be leaping but was actually flying around wildly.
After all, how could a normal jump suddenly shift direction and change course in mid-air?
Just like its move name—[Acrobatics].
Gardevoir's eyes gleamed with blue light, and its psychic energy spread out like a large net around it, waiting for Raptor to approach.
But after circling Gardevoir for a long time, it still couldn't get close enough to get close. Instead, it returned to the half of the field where the drum was during its last jump.
This left some viewers confused: why didn't the Thunder King Kong attack?
"It dares not go in."
Prepare some indoor cypress wood to answer An Xin'er's questions, "Your aunt's trap has been seen by both Dan Di and the Thunderous Golden Ape, they won't fall for it easily."
Even the initial strike was actually prepared to resist the psychic attack, but who knew that Karune would refuse to use it, allowing Gardevoir to launch a long-range attack on Raptor.
Using acrobatics served two purposes: firstly, to see if there was an opportunity for a surprise attack, and secondly, to assess whether Gardevoir could catch its fast-moving form.
The answer is cause for celebration: Gardevoir cannot be caught.
An Xin'er nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
In fact, Leon's tactics and strategies seem straightforward, similar to Ash's. But in reality, he is the type who is rough around the edges yet meticulous.
Emperor Dan: "Beat the drums!"
"Hoo-ri!"
The Thunder King Kong landed in front of the wooden drum, pulled out the drumsticks that had been lying around somewhere, raised his arms and slammed them down hard!
"Boom--!"
"Dong dong——!"
"Thump thump thump thump—!"
The rhythmic drumbeats continued to echo, the flat ground suddenly shattered, and several thick brown tree roots burst out, whipping towards Gardevoir like living creatures!
"Sha na!"
Gardevoir's blue light remained unchanged. She slightly raised her slender arms, and an invisible spiritual force instantly spread out in front of her, forming a solid spiritual barrier.
The tree roots lashed wildly at the invisible barrier to the beat of the drums, producing continuous cracking sounds and spreading violent ripples across the surface, but they could not break through it.
Its body hovered slightly as it moved closer to the Thunder King Kong, its surging spiritual power spreading forward and attempting to extend through the tree roots to its opponent.
When spiritual power touches a physical object, it naturally blossoms with color.
Seeing the light emanating from the tree roots, Dante immediately shouted, "Don't let it succeed! Boom! King Kong!"
"Hurri!!"
The Thunder King Kong roared and continued to increase the speed of drumming, causing the tree roots, which were originally covered by spiritual power, to go berserk.
Karuni shouted, "Suppress it! Catch it!"
"Sha na!"
Gardevoir held her arms out to the sides, her white dress billowing in the wind even without any breeze.
Between the two Pokémon, several tree roots, each as thick as a person's embrace, glowed blue and danced wildly like giant pythons, occasionally whipping the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.
The host shouted, "Drumbeats and Psychic clash fiercely, Gardevoir is infiltrating!"
The area covered by the blue light is continuously increasing, and no matter how much the Thunder King Kong beats its drum, it still cannot stop the spread of spiritual power.
It's clear that while it can easily defeat the champion's main force, it has no way to take down the champion's ace.
Dan Di was very decisive: "Kick the drum out!"
"Hoo-ri!"
Without hesitation, the Rumble Gorillas kicked the wooden drum in front of it, sending it flying rapidly towards Gardevoir in mid-air.
But in the blink of an eye, the wooden drum was frozen in mid-air.
"Sha na—"
Just as Gardevoir was about to continue arresting its opponent, Rillaboom launched a further attack first.
"100,000 horsepower! Charge!"
Bang!
With a powerful stomp of its feet, the ground shattered, and its massive body, enveloped in earthy-yellow ground-attribute energy, charged forward like a rampaging heavy armored vehicle!
Ouch!
A deafening roar echoed throughout the stadium!
However, Rillaboom used all its brute force to ram into the wooden drum that was controlled by psychic power, turning it into its own shield, and tried to suppress Gardevoir in close combat in the most direct and brutal way!
Karuni remained calm, and with a slight lift of her fingertip, she said, "Reflection Barrier."
Light waves flow.
Colorful glass barriers bloomed in front of Gardevoir, blocking Rillaboom's path. Unlike the usual physical attack reduction effect, it seemed to have become some kind of shield move.
Just like the most common usage in animation.
Bang bang bang bang—
The sounds of shattering, like lightning and thunder, bombarded the ears of all the spectators.
They witnessed Rangoon smashing through Gardevoir's barrier of light like a cannonball, but with each section broken, its speed and radiance diminished slightly.
“Hoo-ri…”
Rillaboom growled in a deep voice. Gardevoir's Reflect was indeed strangely hard, giving it the feeling of hitting a reinforced concrete wall. The recoil force spread along the drum to its arm and shoulder.
Ultimately, its form froze in front of the last remaining barrier of light, unable to move forward at all.
It exploded with a loud crack.
The wooden drum that served as a shield suddenly exploded into a shower of debris, clearly unable to withstand the intense shock and becoming a casualty of the battle.
Karuni's eyes brightened slightly.
That's right, it was that one split second!
"Magic Flame!"
She lightly tapped the necklace, and surprisingly assisted Gardevoir in Mega Evolution while issuing the command!
A chorus of screams erupted from the audience, and the host exclaimed in surprise, "Karune has unleashed her Mega Evolution!"
Leon seemed surprised by Karune's actions, not because Rumbler couldn't attack Mega Gardevoir at this moment.
According to his understanding, Karune always valued Gardevoir's Mega Evolution, regarding it as a performance that could boost morale. She would not have performed it in a particularly solemn manner, but at least not like she was now.
But it must be said, it is indeed very crucial!
hum-
A dazzling light shot into the sky as the Mega Stone and Key Stone resonated violently, and a massive amount of energy surged into Gardevoir's body.
Its body slowly elongated in the light, its limbs becoming more slender and graceful, its skin glowing with a soft light, the knots on its chest forming heart shapes, and its smooth long skirt becoming even more voluminous, resembling a European princess dress.
In less than a second, as Rillaboom landed exhausted, Mega Gardevoir let out a low growl, its eyes gleaming with a deep and majestic purple light.
"Sha na!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, clusters of swirling, fiery orange flames appeared, sticking together to form wondrous flame wheels.
Mega Gardevoir slightly raised its slender arm, and Flame Wheel immediately flew towards the nearby Raptor.
The latter, of course, did not wait idly for the other party to attack it, and took to the air again at Dan Di's command!
"acrobatics!"
Bang!
The ground trembled, and in the blink of an eye, the Thunder King Kong had arrived in mid-air.
But the magical flames, like a leech, deliberately changed course and chased after it, forcing it to flip and shift in the sky, nimbly as if it had grown a pair of wings on its back.
The flame wheel tumbled up and down, creating a truly dazzling spectacle.
Seeing that it couldn't escape, Rumbler landed behind Mega Gardevoir, trying to use it as a human shield.
But things didn't go as smoothly as expected.
Mega Gardevoir gracefully tugged at its long skirt and leaped slightly into the air. The swirling Flame Wheel flew past the ground and its legs before suddenly rising up and slamming into Rillaboom, which had followed it into the air!
"Hoo-ri—"
boom!!
Fiery orange flames shot skyward and billowed up!
The powerful shockwave blew away Mega Gardevoir, which was also very close by, but it was prepared for this. It fluttered like a white butterfly and landed in the distance.
Leaving behind the raging flames, the Thunder King Kong was burned to a crisp.
The host shouted, "The magical fire has hit! This is bound to be a fatal blow!"
Mega Gardevoir and Gardevoir can be considered two completely different Pokémon, with their offensive capabilities increasing by a significant margin!
Inside the preparation room, Alice exclaimed in admiration, "Miss Karune's Gardevoir truly lives up to its reputation as an ace!"
An Xin'er was also very happy and turned to ask Bai Mu, "Mother, does this mean that Aunt has gained the upper hand?"
"Let's keep watching."
Bai Mu didn't answer, but just patted An Xin'er's head.
She turned her head back in confusion, and then, to Alice's astonishment, she discovered that the Thunder King Kong, who had been hit head-on by the magical flames, had not fallen down!
"Boom King Kong! Hold on!"
The host shouted excitedly.
Cheers and screams erupted from the stands as everyone cheered for the stomp king gorilla who had held on!
Even if it looks very bad and is only one blow away from falling, it is still in a very bad state.
But as long as we can persevere, there is hope of turning defeat into victory.
An Xin'er's expression became tense, while Bai Mu revealed a rather strange expression.
Because Leon chose to switch, Mega Gardevoir moved half a step to the left in an extremely illogical way, blocking the recovery beam, while its shadow spread forward with lightning speed.
Dan Di was stunned. The heavily injured Thunder King Kong had no time to dodge or retaliate and was taken down by this lightning-fast Shadow Sneak Attack.
All of this happened in just ten seconds, leaving countless viewers and hosts stunned.
Countless question marks flashed across the live stream chat.
"The Thunder King Kong is incapacitated!"
Deng Pei gave his conclusion as soon as he got close.
The audience erupted in uproar.
The host gasped, "Incredible! Mega Gardevoir blocked Leon's recovery route and defeated Raptor. This..."
Why does this scene seem strangely familiar?
Karune and Mega Gardevoir exchanged a smile, glanced at the contestant preparation room in the distance, and gracefully bowed.
The audience thought she was targeting them and burst into screams.
Only the champions in the preparation room knew the reason for her bow.
"Bai Mu, you've ushered in a very interesting era," Zhu Lan chuckled.
A-du remained silent.
Both of them, including Karuni below, were "victims" of obstructing the exchange tactic.
Now, Karini has put her knowledge to good use, hindering Leon's exchange. Otherwise, with his abilities, he could have allowed the Thunder King Kong to exit the match smoothly.
Of course, if someone else used this tactic, they would most likely be called despicable.
The champions don't know how to use it.
They are the rule-makers, guiding the atmosphere of the gaming world.
Regardless of the tactics employed by the champion, as long as they do not reach the point of moral depravity, they will be regarded as the future trend.
Therefore, Zhu Lan said that cypress wood ushered in a very interesting era.
Everyone has gained a new understanding of Pokémon trading.
