Chapter 1349 The damage is too high
Inside the grimy ice sculpture, the Galar sun coral has left its "legacy".
Countless sharp stone spikes appeared out of thin air and then quickly disappeared.
At the same time, a thick plume of black smoke suddenly rose up, obscuring the field at an extremely fast speed.
Even though Cypress pressed the switch at an extremely fast speed, the light was still blocked by the black mist.
It's a smokescreen!
"It's not that easy~"
Zhu Lan smiled, having anticipated her opponent's intentions.
In front of her was the Flower Rock Monster, which stretched forward with the 108 evil souls, eventually reaching a length that covered almost half the area.
This creature appears to be sealed inside a stone, but in reality, its soul essence is not firmly locked above the sealing stone and can freely extend outwards.
At most, there are some distance restrictions.
It can even take flight when necessary, though its movement speed will not be fast.
"Good job!"
The guests cheered and jumped for joy in the room. After all, Sinnoh is Cynthia's home ground, so those who were invited were naturally trainers who favored Cynthia.
Cattleya's eyes gleamed with anticipation. At this moment, the smoke not only prevented Kashiwagi from exchanging words, but also obstructed his vision.
good chance!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Judging from Kashiwagi's past battle experience, being able to anticipate his plans and stop him could potentially lead to a decisive victory!
Zhu Lan swiftly gave the order, "Hypnosis."
She knew that given Corsola's durability, direct attacks might not be as effective, just like Corsola never used any direct attack moves when fighting Milotic.
Flanking attacks are the key to victory!
And it seems she's absolutely determined to hypnotize the sun coral at least once.
Kashiwagi stared at the lingering gray smoke, his expression unchanged, and quickly said, "Hold on!"
Without the trainer needing to say anything, the Corsola, with its strong survival instinct, activated Protect early on, just in time to block the hypnotic beam from the Rockruff.
The shimmering blue light shield trembled, threatening to extinguish at any moment.
With the opponent's ferocious face inches away, Coral Sun suddenly let out an unprecedented scream, "Where's my throat?!"
The cypress tree outside the smoke received the Pokémon's message and quickly prepared to trade.
Sure enough, the thick black smoke that had been billowing in the air suddenly dissipated, revealing the Flower Rock Monster, whose soul had been stretched out, and the Sun Coral, which was still embedded in a huge block of ice.
Kashiwagi stood on one leg at the edge of the trainer's seat, tilting his body and quickly shooting out a recovery beam. His posture was so tricky that it looked as if he was about to throw a Poké Ball, leaving many viewers and commentators dumbfounded.
Is this okay?
"Truly worthy of being called the king of cunning and unpredictable schemes!"
He has repeatedly refreshed people's understanding of Pokémon battles, making everyone clearly realize that the cooperation between trainers and Pokémon is often not just about commands and tacit understanding, but also about the trainer's physical actions.
Zhu Lan quickly reminded the Flower Rock Monster to adjust its angle, and it subconsciously deflected the swirling evil spirit, trying to block the Sun Coral and Cypress again.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Corsola used the moment when Protect disappeared to dispel the smoke spewed by the Rockruff, all for this moment.
The Flower Rock Monster failed to position itself in advance, which was a dereliction of duty on its part by blocking the passage between the Cypress and the Sun Coral.
In the blink of an eye, the beam of light hits, a new Poké Ball is activated, and the trade is completed at an extremely fast speed!
The entire venue fell silent for a moment, then erupted in cheers and applause!
"so amazing!"
"They actually managed to make that exchange!"
"That was so dangerous! I feel like if we had been a second slower... no, even half a second slower, the sun coral wouldn't have been able to escape!"
No one believes it was luck, because the one who did it was Kashiwagi, who defeated regional champions Karen and Lance in succession, making him a legendary trainer!
As the new Pokémon flew out of its Poké Ball onto the field, Kashiwagi politely nodded to Cynthia.
Zhu Lan laughed in exasperation, "Fine, fine, you've got a knack for it!"
She and Rockruff weren't lacking in teamwork, they just never resorted to such underhanded tactics as stopping rival Pokémon.
She would never have followed suit if Kashiwagi hadn't done it first.
There's no way around it; it's a bit unusual to see a trainer who usually plays an upright and honest game using such underhanded tactics.
Cynthia exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at the Pokémon that had just appeared, and gave a command.
"trick!"
"Mika~~"
The Rockruff, having retracted into its sealing stone, let out a soft cry, and its gaseous Ghasts slowly rotated, greatly increasing its Special Attack.
Seeing this, the grey-skinned Shiny Gengar showed no fear on its face, and grinned at Cyndaquil and Rockruff.
Compared to Corsola, who is ruthless and only wants to leave work early, Gengar tends to be more dramatic when facing acquaintances.
Kashiwagi: "Black mist."
"Ha, a seal."
Zhu Lan chuckled softly, her gaze fixed on the movements in his hands, and noticed that he showed no intention of taking out the keystone.
Based on her understanding of Kashiwagi, if he intended to Mega Evolve Gengar, he would do so immediately; otherwise, it meant he wasn't prepared to give Gengar the chance to Mega Evolve.
This saves a lot of trouble.
To be honest, Cynthia has been thinking about this for a long time but hasn't come up with a good way to break Mega Gengar's special ability to travel back and forth between dimensions and evade detection.
Perhaps the only way to defeat this strange Pokémon is to find an opportunity to strike it down in one blow.
Now that Gengar can't Mega Evolve, it saves a lot of trouble.
"Hehehe~"
Gengar flew into the air and spewed out a large area of black mist from above, making the area, which had just cleared of smoke, fog up again.
Despite the poor visibility, Rockruff was able to accurately track Gengar, and Darkrai suddenly lunged out and rose dozens of meters.
A pinkish-purple light enveloped its body and then extended to Gengar.
"Mi~~Ka~~"
no doubt.
The previous trick was a trap, designed to force Gengar to allow the [Sealing] to be successfully executed.
If it weren't for the possibility that [Taunt] might fail, Cynthia would actually prefer it, as it would completely seal Gengar's variant moves.
Unfortunately, in Cynthia's personal opinion, dealing with Kashiwagi's Pokémon would be simpler if the trigger point was the seal in the Mystic Realm than if it affected Gengar's emotions.
The same is true.
Gengar's massive fog-spitting out couldn't stop the seal on the Rockruff.
Sensing the abnormality within its body, Gengar's arrogant smile slowly faded. "Genga..."
its not right!
The rarely used move [Seal] has reappeared after the battle with Karune. Last time, it was the pink and chubby Happy Egg that suffered the most damage, but now it's this gray and chubby one.
What's even more frustrating is that, since both sides have the same attributes, their skill pools are also almost identical.
Gengar's mentality suddenly crumbled.
Like Coral Sun, it had only reached level 90 in half a month and was just about to show its new power when most of its moves were sealed.
The most fatal flaw is that the sealed move cannot be determined. If a sealed move is used in a battle against a champion Pokémon, it would be a waste of opportunity.
Extremely deadly!
The commentator also mentioned this to the audience, and Cattleya in the guest room was overjoyed.
Sealing is the skill she recommended Cynthia to learn for her Pokémon.
But as Gengar turned halfway to the side and exchanged glances with Kashiwagi, it gradually calmed down.
That's right.
Why is it panicking?!
Its skill pool is so deep!
"Attack directly! Magic Flash!" Kashiwagi had no intention of exchanging anything, and felt it was unnecessary, completely ignoring the seemingly deadly seal.
Gengar's tactics and strategies are completely different from Corsola's.
It only needs to do one thing—
onslaught!
"Gah!!"
The Gengar in mid-air suddenly shone brightly, like a colorful sun rising from the east, dispelling the fog in the arena and trying to dye the entire arena its color.
A strong sense of foreboding caused Zhu Lan to change the course of her instructions.
"Charge! Hold the line!"
"Mika!"
The Flower Rock Monster moved quickly; just before the bright light shone on the field, a shimmering blue light shield appeared in front of it.
However, the seemingly indestructible defense only lasted for a very short time before its surface became covered with fine cracks. The Flower Rock Monster quickly retreated into the sealing stone to resist the magical flashes of light.
Rumble-
The sky seemed to unleash a divine rain of light, instantly obliterating the giant ice that had frozen the sun coral. As the intense light gradually dimmed, apart from the large holes, only the sealing stone remained in the area.
"Mika?"
The Flower Rock Monster slowly poked its head out.
It must be thankful that the stone that sealed it was strong enough to block the attack.
But even the Flower Rock Monster wasn't sure how many times the sealing stone could withstand it.
In case it cracks...
Huayan Guai couldn't tell whether he should be happy or panicked.
Zhu Lan's expression turned grave. "This kind of magical brilliance..."
She didn't want to say anything more; only two words lingered in her mind—
Outrageous!
We can't let it use this skill!
"Surprise attack!" Zhu Lan anticipated her opponent's decision and understood that defense was useless, so she could only adopt a roundabout attack.
Kashiwagi, true to form, gave the same command again: "One more time, Magic Flash."
As a Dark/Ghost-type Pokémon, Rockruff's only weakness is Magic Dazzling.
Given Gengar's current damage output, as long as its damage is maximized, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to one-shot a Rockruff.
Even if the opponent is a champion Pokémon.
Moreover, there was the foundation of that magical flash just now.
Despite the Flower Rock Monster's attempts to defend itself and hide inside the sealing stone, it's impossible to completely avoid its attacks.
Some of the light needles, constructed from fairy-attribute energy, still pierced its body.
Therefore, for Kashiwagi, as long as the situation is right, there is no need for any other extra skills; he can simply use Magic Shine from beginning to end.
"Giggle!!"
Gengar transformed into a dazzling light ball once more, darting around the vast arena and trying to distribute its light evenly across every inch of the space.
Fortunately, the Flower Rock Monster leaped into the black mist in time, successfully dodging this deadly new round of magical flashes.
Seeing its movement, Kashiwa shouted, "Turbid Mist!"
"哓GA!"
The Gengar, having finished its light bulb transformation, immediately exhaled a cloud of smoke mixed with poisonous gas, then flipped its round body into it.
At the same time, black mist suddenly appeared behind it.
"Mika!"
The Flower Rock Monster's spinning evil spirit shot out, instantly piercing through the poisonous mist, but missed its target.
It's the ability of Ghost-type Pokémon to appear and disappear unpredictably!
It reluctantly fell to the ground.
Without hesitation, Zhu Lan continued, "It will emerge from below! Attack!"
as predicted.
Gengar appeared at the landing point of the Rockruff, and huge shadow fists quickly appeared around its body, which it then blasted out of thin air!
"哓GA!"
Take off again and become a target!
"Mika!"
The enraged Flower Rock Monster's malevolent spirit swirled around, then lunged downwards like an arrow released from a bow.
The "Surprise Attack" effect allows it to strike first even after a failed surprise attack, enabling it to simultaneously confront Gengar, which has abandoned Magic Dazzle in pursuit of a fast attack.
Bang!
The smoke rose and then quickly dissipated.
Everyone suddenly realized that only the evil spirit and the sealing stone remained in the arena, the Flower Rock Monster twitching in unison, "Crack... Meow..."
"What's going on here?"
The commentator's questions were also the audience's questions.
From the Flower Rock Monster's state, Zhu Lan got the precise answer: "An eye for an eye! Fight it!"
"Magic shines!"
Cypress's shouts echoed from afar.
There is no doubt that Gengar has entered the sealing stone and is now vying with Rockruff for control of its "body".
After the two gave their orders, a burst of blood-red and pinkish light erupted within two seconds.
With Dark-type and Fairy-type energies clashing, the Sealing Stone has become the core battleground for the two Pokémon.
Unfortunately, while Rockruff is composed of 108 evil souls, it doesn't mean it can unleash the power of level 108, whereas Gengar's energy level is a solid level 90!
A cover artist of god-like caliber who far surpasses the champion's main players and crushes the champion's ace!
The crimson light lasted only a few seconds before being completely suppressed by the pinkish radiance. The entire sealing stone trembled in place, and countless cracks appeared as if it were about to explode.
Zhu Lan shouted, "We share the same fate!"
If we can't win, we'll die together!
Her eyes were unusually calm, as if she had already seen through the outcome of the competition, and that all the previous processes were for the sake of this final plate of dumplings.
But how could Kashiwagi not let Gengar keep a trick up its sleeve?
Although Zhulan had never let Huayan use the Fate Bond before, since she could use the seal, what was so strange about using the Fate Bond?
Most rivals who share the same fate are worth keeping an eye on.
He specifically instructed before the match that unless Gengar was the one making the second move, he should not use his full strength.
"Will-o'-the-wisp."
The pink light dimmed, and large clusters of deep purple flames overflowed from the sealing stone, scorching the Flower Rock Monster and causing it to howl incessantly.
【Destiny Bond】 is a move that can swap out one of the opponent's Pokémon, and its usage is quite demanding.
The most important rule is that a Pokémon will only take effect if it is directly attacked by its opponent.
Will-o'-the-wisps are clearly not among them.
Cynthia stared at the sealing stone. She was actually gambling that Gengar's output would be so high that it wouldn't have time to use Will-O-Wisp, and that Rockruff would lose its last bit of health.
The flame goes out.
Gengar emerged from the cracked sealing stone, which was no longer moving and seemed to have lost its ability to fight.
"Genga~"
It walked forward with a big smile, its steps unsteady.
next moment.
Gengar's smile suddenly froze, and its body fell forward uncontrollably, convulsing.
The commentator exclaimed in shock, "Gengar! Gengar has also lost battle—"
"Giggle!"
The chubby gray man suddenly leaped up and made a face at the camera in the sky, causing the narrator to stop abruptly.
"—This guy is really mischievous."
The commentator's lips twitched.
Referee Deng Pei also stopped approaching and glanced at Bai Mu silently.
Kashiwa smiled sheepishly.
"Granora is unable to battle!" With Deng Pei's pronouncement, Gengar collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
It's not that the Flower Rock Monster is particularly difficult to deal with, it's just that controlling its damage is too difficult.
It was afraid that its output was not strong enough or too strong, and that it would be unable to kill the monster before it could use Destiny Bond, thus causing itself to be hit.
Fortunately, it had a perfect ending!
