Chapter 1375 Master Xiao Zhi
On the screen.
The light was a mix of azure and crimson, but the Pokémon battling Mega Charizard X was not Greninja.
Instead, it is its "apprentice," Super Lucario.
That's right, in the crucial end-of-season promotion tournament, Ash once again staged a type-reversal battle.
It's hard to understand whether he values the Eight Masters or not.
If it were anyone else fighting, Kashiwagi would probably have closed the page by now. But Ash is different; he can't unleash his full power unless he's fighting a type-reversal battle.
Just like now, the chest and abdomen of the Super Charizard X bulge high, releasing a jet of flame at close range. The extremely fierce flames make even Kashiwagi, who is watching from behind the screen, feel the amazing heat.
However, it was easily stopped by Mega Lucario, which used its spinning, glowing bone rod.
"The spiral force is indeed too excessive."
Kashiwagi sighed from the bottom of his heart.
In the world of the Pokémon anime, no matter how fierce the opponent's attack is, it can largely be neutralized by spinning.
From the secret offensive-defense strategy passed down at the Soothing Glass Gym to Ash's self-created counter-attack shield, no matter how many differences there may be in the details, it all boils down to one word—
change!
No matter how hot your flames are, whether they're comparable to the surface of the sun or a supernova, they all have to step aside in front of the windmill!
Okay, that might sound a bit harsh, but it's undeniable that the "Turning" technique is quite effective, and Kashiwagi's Pokémon love to use it.
In the scene, Super Lucario and Super Charizard X begin close combat, one using Bullet Punch and the other using Dragon Claw.
Silver and green light danced wildly across the field, the two sides fighting to a standstill.
Kashiwagi watched with satisfaction. Although Bullet Punch was a low-power move, it was fast and a STAB move, making it stronger than Greninja's Iai Slash.
After fighting for a while, both sides recalled their Pokémon.
This battle is clearly not the final round.
Unlike Kashiwagi, who usually saves his strongest Pokémon for last, Pokémon anime often features trainers who bring out their ace Pokémon mid-game, partly to take down one of the opponent's Pokémon and partly to boost their team's morale.
Unfortunately, Ash's idea was similar.
After both sides used Mega Evolution, they each left the field to rest and then switched to other Pokémon to fight.
Alain has a lot of tricks up his sleeve; he's tried every Pokémon except Charizard. Right now, he's using Aegislash.
In the finals of the Lumiose Tournament, Ash battled Shota's Aegislash, so he sent out—
Onion Soldier!
Kashiwagi couldn't help but applaud him, "As expected of you! So, does this Farfetch'd have the Courage ability?"
Clearly, Alain also had doubts about this. Knowing too little about Ash, he couldn't imagine how much someone could love fighting against type disadvantages.
The two Pokémon met face to face.
Ash certainly wouldn't use a Fighting-type move against Aegislash, so the move he shouted out was "Knock Off".
One slap destroyed the shield of the Shielded Sword Monster.
The entire audience was shocked, and Kashiwagi was shocked as well.
"This thing can be knocked off?"
"It's not stuck to the body, so why can't it be swatted off?" The multi-faceted phone thought it was perfectly normal.
Cypress glanced at it sideways.
But thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising that Xiao Zhi would do something like this.
Previously, when he fought the Aegislash, he even used wood to jam the notch on the back of the shield, preventing it from being sheathed and used as the King's Shield.
Is it strange to knock down the shield now?
In short, without its shield, the Shielded Sword Monster was quickly defeated by the Onion Shallot's [Wild Swing].
The true king of sword and shield!
Xiaozhi's Journey Edition First MVP!
This guy is really suited to breeding bird-type Pokémon.
Kashiwagi felt deep respect.
The Master Ball-level switching battle follows the three-on-three principle. Ash and Alain had already defeated Gengar and Octopus respectively before this.
Ash is currently in the lead with a 2-1 advantage.
If it were Kashiwagi, they'd probably be popping champagne by halftime. But it's not the same with him and Ai Lan.
really.
The mighty Farfetch'd was utterly pathetic when facing the Super Charizard X, almost like he was putting on a show.
[Meteor Assault] charged straight at the opponent's [Explosive Flames], and even though it was right up to the opponent's stomach, it was blasted into the air.
When it landed again, it had clearly lost its ability to fight.
Good job playing brother! Good acting!
"Ash's style of play is pretty aggressive," the multi-faceted phone commented. "If he played it safe, he could at least help Mega Lucario put some pressure on the opponent's stamina."
Kashiwagi shook his head. "It's no use pressuring them; they'll lock their health."
"Lock-in-health? [Hold on]?"
Multi-sided phones don't understand this meme.
Cypress simply raised its chin, letting it continue watching.
The two Mega Pokémon reappeared, engaging in another flashy clash of Bullet Punch and Dragon Claw, resulting in a close battle. Then, Flamethrower and Aura Sphere collided, creating a spectacular display.
After a thoroughly enjoyable battle, both Pokémon were exhausted, and the damage they could inflict on their opponent depended largely on how much force their opponent had used.
Then, Mega Charizard X's Ground Slam Explosion Flame, because the attack originated from underground, prevented Mega Lucario from using its Bone Club Spin to block it.
Ash's choice was to have Mega Lucario jump high into the air and launch a large Aura Sphere, just like he used to tether Greninja.
call--
A mysterious, deep blue sphere of light obscured the sky.
"Go!!"
Ash shouted with such fervor that Kashiwagi was drenched in sweat.
If Ash fails to advance to the top eight, wouldn't he become a sinner for all time?
Fortunately, Ash no longer has the curse of Gordjaeden's jinx on his journey, and his strength has already improved significantly compared to XY.
Furthermore, the Super Giant Spiral—oops, the Super Giant Wave Missile—is not a Golden Shuriken; it won't just evaporate on its own.
Super Charizard X took a real hit.
Upon landing, Super Lucario was engulfed in the explosive flames.
One is unrestrained, the other is restrained; when both sides unleash their full power, the outcome seems obvious at first glance.
Unfortunately, Ash has a buff for being the type that is reversed.
After the thick smoke cleared, what appeared before all the spectators was the proud figure of two Pokémon standing tall.
No one has fallen; they can still keep fighting!
A protracted battle, comparable to the clash between Electabuzz and Infernape, has begun.
Of course, Alain and Ash's relationship is not as love-hate as that between Shinji and Alain in the Diamond & Pearl series, and Lucario doesn't have much of a story with Alain either.
This made the tug-of-war less intense than the semi-final that was comparable to the final, but it was still very exciting and fully demonstrated the resilience of the two overpowered Pokémon.
No matter how you fight, you can't break their resilience.
That's why people say Ash in street battles and Ash in official battles are two different people.
"That's ruthless."
Kashiwagi couldn't imagine that a positional battle could be as intense as the final of the Eight Masters.
If he were in Ai Lan's position, he would also have a headache, right?
The multi-faceted phone exclaimed in surprise, "So this is what blood-locking is? Such unwavering willpower! It transcends even the limitations of the physical body!"
Then it hummed and said, "I can too!"
It repeated to Kashiwagi, "Give me a chance, I can do it too!"
"I know you can do it"
How could Bai Mu not believe it? "We'll talk about it when it's necessary. With your current strength, this situation will never happen, and even if it does, it won't be your turn."
"……hateful!"
The multi-faceted phone was furious; it knew that such a performance opportunity could only be given to the ace, or at worst, to Hydra and Maw of Vendetta.
Even if you want to work hard, there are certain requirements!
It couldn't help but manipulate its clone to reset the timer for the Seljuk Sorrow.
The Washed Soroya lay flat on the ground, motionless, looking at it as if it were a demon.
That's outrageous!
On the screen.
Ash and Alain's battle has entered its final stage.
This guy simply closed his eyes, and a pale blue light appeared on his body, perfectly synchronized with Super Lucario.
Super Charizard X roared and spewed out terrifying flames at it, but the latter suddenly raised its claws high into the sky and sucked them away.
In the blink of an eye.
A terrifying wave missile, occupying almost half the area, took shape, its billowing dust resembling a black hole that inspired awe, and it seemed designed to crush Mega Charizard X with an overwhelming force, much like it was intended to attack a Dynamax Pokémon.
Boom—!!
The live stream dropped abruptly and reconnected after two seconds, but what you'll likely see is a large white screen.
It took a long time for it to transform into the ubiquitous smoke of battle.
“History always repeats itself.” Kashiwagi vaguely remembered that in the original story, Raibou’s Gigantamax Duraludon was also defeated by Lucario’s Giant Wave Missile.
Ai Lan! You died a worthy death!
As the dust settled, Charizard was indeed defeated, and Lucario had upheld the reputation of its master, Greninja.
Ash successfully advanced to the Masters, becoming the eighth member.
The World Championships officially released the current rankings of the other members for this season.
7th place: Alice; 6th place: Karune; 5th place: Wataru; 4th place: Daigo; 3rd place: Cynthia; 2nd place: Kashiwagi; 1st place: Leon.
At the same time, they announced that the World Championship season has officially ended and the Masters Championship is about to begin.
Focus on the beginning of next month!
The timeframe was approximately one month.
"It's finally starting."
Cypress lay back in the boss's chair, using her feet to control its rotation.
The Eight Masters will be the highest platform for him to prove his strength, the highest hall to dance with the masters.
Moreover, if he wins the world championship, the simulator will most likely receive another major update.
Just like when he won the tournament championship and the regional championship.
Directly obtain the Celestial Flute and challenge Arceus?
Hi!
We really need to prepare well.
Kashiwagi was in a good mood. He got up, picked up the lying corpse, and spun it around. "Keep it up! If you can hold out for six days, I'll give you a day of indulgence. Eat whatever you want!"
"Ow?"
Washizoroya's eyes lit up.
Really, bro?
Cypress tossed it up, caught it, tossed it up again, caught it again, and said, "Before the Eight Masters begin! I want to see a healthy you!"
"Ow..."
Soroya was stunned by his throw and it took him a long time to come to his senses.
But I'm really looking forward to the day of indulgence six days from now.
It started fantasizing about what it wanted to eat, and the conclusion it came to was that it wanted to eat everything!
Only when there are no exceptions can it be considered sound!
-
In the days that followed, Zoroastrian trained diligently.
You can't succeed without hard work.
Both Kashiwagi and Duobian were watching it closely, and Shizuo Soroya also felt that she couldn't suffer for nothing, so she obediently cooperated with the training.
Remarkable results—
Its weight has successfully dropped to exactly 23 kilograms, and it can now walk around the office twice in one breath without collapsing, only panting heavily.
"The effect is immediate," commented the multi-sided mobile phone.
Cypress was not very satisfied.
After all, he fed Seljuk Soroya a compound diet containing various secret seasonings. You should know that Pipa's mastiff godfather was originally on the verge of death, but after eating several secret seasonings, he immediately recovered a lot.
Logically, the level of the Sorrow should at least drop to a normal level, right?
This guy's fat is incredibly stubborn!
After a brief hesitation, Kashiwagi did not rashly increase the training volume for Shizuo Soroya; some things are important to persevere with.
If you let it develop a complete resistance to exercise, it will eventually gain the weight back when it returns to the research institute.
We need to find a way to make it enjoy exercising.
It's hard.
The Asia Pacific coral *Solanum lycopersicum* has become lazy, almost comparable to the Galar sun coral.
This is closely related to its experiences from childhood to adulthood.
Having been pampered all along, it has hardly encountered any setbacks that require effort, so naturally, it has no concept of perseverance.
"Let's improve gradually."
Cypress decided to proceed gradually.
Just as he was contemplating taking things slowly, he received some surprising news from the other side.
The Rowlet that was taken away back then has evolved.
"The progress is incredibly fast!"
Even Kashiwagi couldn't help but praise the boy to his face, "You and Owl must have had a tough time these past few days, right?"
I thought the Otter would be the fastest to evolve, but it turns out that Rowlet, who's always lazy and sleeping, has evolved first.
The boy scratched his head sheepishly, exchanged a glance with Touyuxiao, and said, "No, it's all because Touyuxiao worked so hard... Principal! What should I do next? Didn't you say I'd come to you after I evolved?"
“That’s right. Take this and have your Feathered Owl practice according to the instructions on it.”
Kashiwagi handed a small booklet to the boy.
The above outlines the daily dietary requirements and training methods for the Green-spotted Tree Owl.
The boy suddenly became excited, "Excuse me, did you make this yourself?"
"...That's not wrong."
Bai Mu nodded. This was indeed the "Cultivation Manual for the Green-spotted Tree Owl" that he had created after discussing it with Duobian Mobile and the old director.
The young man bowed at a ninety-degree angle and said, "I will certainly not let you down!"
He happily left with Touyuxiao, just like Xiao Yan who had been taught the Burning Technique by Yao Lao.
A manual personally compiled by Champion Ole!
A family heirloom!
The boy wished he could worship it.
Soon, news of his championship secrets spread like wildfire, and the entire academy was in an uproar.
"I'm so envious! To receive a Pokémon personally from the champion and to train them! I want one too~"
"Let me see! Please!"
"Damn it! We need to do our best too, Otter!" The Otter's trainer kept encouraging him.
The otter's face was calm, determined to fight the sea tomorrow.
How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?
The news naturally reached Mingyi's ears as well. At that time, she was taking pictures of Ayam and Cyndaquil, and chuckled as she looked at the comments section praising her.
Upon learning this news, she suddenly panicked.
"I...we..."
She looked at Cyndaquil, and Cyndaquil looked at her.
Mingyi slumped down weakly. "None of us are really suited for battles. Looks like we'll have to consider the Coordinator the principal mentioned."
