Chapter 1413 Shield-Breaking Horn Drill
For Alice, the situation had reached its most critical stage.
After two consecutive high-intensity matches, her team has already lost two key players. Facing Zhu Lan, she truly cannot afford to make any mistakes.
In the Dragon Village of the Unova region, many of her supporters are deeply worried.
Ayame clenched her fists tightly and murmured, "Alice...you can do it..."
In the small room, Wanlong stopped writing her novel and clasped her hands tightly as she prayed for Alice; in the living room, Yueju kept tossing and catching a coin, remaining silent.
Cattleya's gaze was as calm as a lake, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Only Lian Wu crossed his arms and shouted at the television, "Be decisive! Be brave! But don't be misled by Alice!"
The scene of the game.
"hiss……"
Alice took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, retracting the unconscious Haxorus, and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work."
Although the ending she envisioned did not materialize, it was not the Double-Haxed Dragon's fault.
They are not as mature as bamboo orchids.
But isn't that precisely what inspires fighting spirit?
"Never give up until the very last moment! Right, Excadrill!" Alice shouted as she threw the Poké Ball.
boom!
The light was dazzling.
With a resolute shout from Iris, the short but muscular body landed with a thud, its claws, sharp enough to pierce through steel plates, raised high in response to the trainer's words, "Doruru!"
Leave it to me!
In the sunlight, the dragon-headed ground squirrel's sharp, drill-like metallic horns pointed straight forward, its body covered in short, brown-black fur had taut muscles, and its claws gleamed in the sunlight.
It proudly raised its head, gazing at the Pokémon released first by the elegant lady opposite it.
"Pop!"
The giant, white, and plump bird emitted a clear, melodious call.
Zhu Lan smiled faintly and said, "Alice, is this your final choice?"
The sound, amplified by the equipment inside the arena, reached the girl's ears, and she shouted without flinching, "That's right!"
The host, microphone in hand, shouted: "Sky and Land! The third match of the first round of the Eight Masters elimination tournament! The competition has reached its most tense and exciting stage!!"
The time has come to decide the victor!
Excited cheers and shouts echoed from the stands, as everyone awaited the final victory.
The battle began in silent, tacit agreement.
Cynthia waved and shouted, "Togekiss! Use Heat Wave!"
Tokiss suddenly spread its wings, and a whirlwind carrying blazing flames erupted!
bake!
The orange-red heatwave and the rolling fire flow intertwined to form a swirling storm. The high temperature distorted the surrounding air, and the rubble on the ground was baked red by the scorching flow. The fine sand and gravel were quickly charred in the hot wind.
This violent firestorm swept from behind it to the front, like a huge, overturning wave. Its vast range made it impossible to dodge in a short time, and it went straight towards the dragon-headed ground squirrel on the ground!
Even before the scorching heatwave reached it, it caused a burning sensation on the steel-like keratin layer on its body, forcing it to squint.
Alice then quickly relayed the instructions.
"Dig a hole!"
"Doruru!"
The dragon-headed ground squirmed with its front paws, and the already fragmented earth became as soft as mud under its sharp claws, sinking into the ground in the blink of an eye, brushing past the scorching heat wave.
Filmed by the Rotom drone, its actions were as thrilling as those crucial few seconds in a blockbuster movie when the protagonist dodges after a bomb explodes!
Boom!
The hot wind, carrying flames, slammed into its back, instantly scorching and exploding the shattered ground. Blackened marks spread over a large area, and smoke billowed up, but it did not harm the dragon-headed gopher that was moving forward underground in the slightest.
It can quickly traverse terrain thanks to its mastery of the terrain and its natural ability to burrow.
In just a few breaths, Excadrill had already reached the ground beneath Togekiss. Without hesitation, it burst upwards from the ground, its claws and the steel needles on its head merging into a sharp drill, which swirled and stabbed at Togekiss!
While Ground-type moves can't damage Flying-type Pokémon, this creature's upward spiraling impact is enough to stun its opponent and drag them to the ground.
Pokkiss naturally understood its thoughts and, upon discovering the ground was damaged, deftly sidestepped to avoid it.
Zhu Lan was still not satisfied: "Lightning speed!"
"Pop!"
The enormous, plump bird transformed into a pale white streak of light, its speed instantly reaching its limit, leaving onlookers with only a fleeting afterimage.
The dragon-headed exploding mob, having missed its thrust, flew high into the air and disintegrated mid-air, where it caught a glimpse of Togekiss, which had already distanced itself from it.
Alice shouted, "Iron Head!"
"Doruru!"
Excadrill transformed back into its drill form, twisting its body in mid-air without any leverage, and charged toward the flying Togekiss.
Zhu Lan shouted, "Wave missile!"
"Pop!"
In an instant, azure blue fighting-attribute energy condensed in front of Togekiss, and a massive Aura Sphere was launched with a roar.
The condensed energy bullet traveled at extremely high speed and accurately struck the spinning dragon-headed ground squirrel. The energy from the collision exploded, and the shockwave interrupted its movement.
Bang!
The dragon-headed ground squirrel fell to the ground.
"Give it another hot air session!" Zhu Lan pressed on relentlessly.
Togekiss suddenly flapped its wings, unleashing a terrifying heatwave that swept towards Excadrill, seemingly intent on melting the Steel-type Pokémon into charcoal.
bake!
A wave of heat rolled in, and the dragon-headed ground squirrel's face tightened as it leaped up again, transforming into a drill.
Alice shouted, "Spin at high speed!"
It was determined not to hide underground any longer, and bravely confronted the fervor that had been restraining itself!
A white light enveloped its form, and the bright white light formed air currents as it rotated, colliding with the heat flow and splitting it to the left and right. The surging heat even momentarily trapped it in mid-air...
Do not!
It is moving forward step by step!
Although the progress is quite subtle, it is obvious to anyone with eyes that the distance between the two Pokémon is decreasing.
It appears that the heat waves emitted by Pokekiss are being gradually dissipated.
Finally, the heat subsided, but the high-speed spinning of the dragon-headed exopod never stopped, and it charged straight at Togekiss, crashing into its body!
Both fell to the ground.
The host shouted, "High-speed spin hit! Togekiss has been caught by Excadrill!"
"Pop!"
Togekiss flapped its wings and retreated, but the tips of its wings were caught by the claws of the dragon-headed exopod, causing Cynthia to change the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Hold on!"
As Alice predicted, "Long horns!"
A metallic sheen lingered on the steel horn atop Excadrill's head, which pierced out with a sharp, penetrating force, like a beam of bright silver light, colliding with the pale blue hemispherical energy barrier that instantly appeared on Togekiss.
The dragon-headed exploding horn was knocked away, and the part of its claws that was entangled with Togekiss broke free. Alice's eyes couldn't help but become deep and dark.
"Lightning speed!"
"Pop!"
Togekiss's figure transformed into a blurry white shadow, once again putting distance between itself and Excadrill.
As a Flying-type Pokémon that attacks from a distance, there is no reason for it to engage in close combat; such a move would be extremely unwise.
But when it created some distance, the dragon-headed ground squirrel didn't follow closely. Instead, it turned and glanced at the trainer.
"……I know."
Alice took a deep breath and said firmly, "Let's go!"
She placed her hands on the crown atop her head, and a small, exquisite keystone appeared.
Inside the left paw of the Dragon Head Grub, a crystalline Super Stone was also revealed.
The host exclaimed, "Mega evolution! Is it Excadrill's Mega Evolution!?"
no doubt.
It's the unannounced Super Dragon Head Mole!
The dazzling light of evolution instantly enveloped this Pokémon, making its head horns wider, longer, and sharper, and its claws on both sides transformed into drill bits, making the whole Pokémon resemble a finely crafted crimson spiral alloy drill bit.
Metallic triangular blocks grow on its chest and shoulders, making its muscle lines even more explosive.
"Doruru!!"
The Super Dragon Head Mole is shouting!
Wow!
There was an uproar.
Everyone stared intently at the Pokémon in its new form below. Even Kashiwagi couldn't help but sit up straight and sighed heavily, "So ugly!"
Karuni and Anxin'er, who were still in awe of the Super Dragon Head Gopher, instantly collapsed in disbelief.
"No, you..."
"uncle……"
Kashiwa leaned back awkwardly in the recliner. "To be honest, it's just that it looks so out of place."
The drill bit, once assembled, is larger than its main body, making it look top-heavy.
All he could say was that the design was excellent, but not to design it again next time.
So how strong is Super Dragonhead Excadrill, and have its abilities changed in any way?
That's something to look forward to.
Under his watchful gaze, Zhu Lan gave the first order, "No matter what, the wave missile!"
"Pop!"
Togekiss rapidly condensed into a huge, azure sphere of light, which swirled towards Excadrill.
Alice said confidently, "Let Miss Bamboo Orchid witness our power! Spin! Long Horn!!"
"Doruru!!"
The Super Dragon Head Mole transforms itself into a giant, crimson drill, much like a robot combining its powers. Facing the incoming wave missile, it spins rapidly and charges forward!
hum! !
Its rotation speed was several times higher than before, causing the air to emit a sharp hissing sound. It rose from the ground like a jackhammer, tearing apart the wave missile with its restraining attribute in the blink of an eye!
So easy! So simple!
Get out of the way!
Cynthia shouted, and Togekiss dodged to the side before she gave the order, but was still caught in the wing by the fast and powerful Mega Excadrill.
Ouch!
A burst of silver light.
Amidst the explosion, Tokkis cried out in pain as his body plummeted from the sky.
The Super Dragon Head Mole passed through and landed not far away, but instead of deactivating its drill form, it burrowed directly into the ground.
The entire arena began to shake violently, making it impossible for Zhu Lan to observe her opponent's location through the epicenter.
Her eyes flickered slightly, her right hand gripping the Poké Ball, her thoughts racing through her mind.
Ultimately, the idea of exchanging ideas turned into an order to attack.
"Fly! Use your Flame Burst when it appears!"
"Pop!"
Togekiss responded, took off again, and reached a high place. But the moment it left the ground, Super Dragon Head Grub had already burrowed through the ground and flew towards it.
Without hesitation, it spat out a fireball at it, which immediately exploded upon release, transforming into a giant fire character.
however.
The raging flames were not able to break through the drill bit that shot straight into the sky; instead, they were easily dispersed by it!
This is like a completely different Pokémon from the Excadrill that was suppressed earlier!
Zhu Lan shouted, "Hold on!"
The pale blue protective barrier reappeared, firmly shielding Togekiss in the high sky.
Facing the shield that had once blocked her long horns, Alice showed no hesitation. Her voice resounded throughout the arena: "Go! Our drills can pierce the heavens! Horn Drills!"
Angle drill!?
Zhu Lan looked surprised, and then heard a roar from the giant drill bit. Milky white energy gathered in the spiral drill bit and continued to rush towards Togekiss's defensive barrier with unstoppable momentum.
This moment.
Something unbelievable happened.
There was no stalemate, no obstruction.
The high-speed spinning horn drill pierced through the pale blue spherical barrier as easily as piercing thin paper. The spiral steel horn, carrying devastating piercing power, struck Togekiss hard, who had no time to dodge.
A piercing scream of shattering energy and a deafening crash erupted simultaneously!
"Pop!"
hum! !
With a sharp whistling sound, Tokkis's wings were shaken into disarray by the rotating force of the horn drill, and his body was forced to rise to the top of the curved steel column, sparks flying everywhere!
The host shouted, "The defense is torn apart! It seems to have had no effect at all! The dragon-headed gopher's drill has broken through the barrier!"
An invisible drill!?
Kashiwagi, inside the preparation room, twitched his eyelids repeatedly as he watched the giant crimson drill plummet alongside Togekiss. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Holy crap! How can there be such a cool Pokémon!"
Karuni: "..."
An Xin'er: "..."
Sometimes they really can't understand this person; their mood changes so quickly, right?
However, they were also surprised by the performance of the Super Dragon Head Mole, which was able to easily turn the tide.
Karuni sighed, "If only we could have been exposed a little later..."
"She might lose."
Kashiwagi interrupted the defeated champion.
She thought she'd reveal her trump card later, hoping to catch Cynthia's third Pokémon off guard, just like she was doing now.
But honestly, if Iris continues to hold back on Mega Evolution, she might not even get to see her third Pokémon.
Karuni smiled helplessly, "That's true."
Boom!
The two Pokémon landed one after the other. Mega Excadrill reverted to its Drill Mode and looked at the unconscious creature not far away.
【Horn Drill】 is a normal attribute one-hit kill move. It can be effective as long as the energy level is higher than the opponent's!
Deng Pei entered the arena, checked Togekiss's status, raised his right hand and shouted, "Togekiss is unable to battle! Excadrill wins!"
Wow!
The audience erupted in applause!
While Mega Evolution may not be as visually stunning as Dynamax, its performance just now was still a pleasant surprise for the audience. Everyone couldn't help but wonder how Mega Excadrill managed to break through Guard so easily.
Holding firm does not make you invincible; that's common sense.
Being burst by attribute energy and being directly penetrated are two different situations.
Just now, it was obvious that the defense didn't work!
P.S.: This is a guess from the "all-in uncle party"! I'll come back and revise if it fails.
Unfortunately, the official information is too slow to be released, so we can only guess what the insiders are saying—that it can penetrate the Protect ability.
One explanation is that contact-type attacks ignore defense, essentially a copy of the Invisible Fist. Another is that drill-type attacks ignore defense. What exactly is a drill-type attack? I don't understand.
