Chapter 1407 Tsunami Battle
The second round of the Eight Masters.
Ash took the lead and defeated Lance's ace Dragonite.
This truly refreshed many people's initial impression of him as a young upstart.
As for A-du's performance...
All I can say is, old thing, you've retired from the meta!
A mere flying champion using flying-attribute skills in front of a flying champion? What's the difference between that and showing off your axe skills in front of Guan Yu?
Of course, the main reason is that this version of Ash is too strong. His growth rate is fast and his stats are high. It's so exaggerated that it's like he has Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow activated. Anyone who stands in his position will laugh out loud.
Even from the perspective of elemental affinity, Storm isn't really a big problem; it's better than the Dragon and Normal elements, which are resisted.
It's worth noting that, unlike his previous battle with Kashiwagi, Lance didn't let Mega Dragonite use any physical attacks this time.
"So they've gone all-in on special attacks?"
Kashiwagi stared at the unconscious Dragonite in the arena, then suddenly looked up at the sky above the Palace Arena.
The clouds that should have dispersed gathered again, and the large hailstones turned into a drizzle, as if the sky was mourning.
What a wonderful "parting gift"!
Needless to say, this was clearly a way for Super Dragonite to help its next companion before being stunned by Super Lucario's Mega Sonic Twister—no, Giant Aura Sphere.
Pikachu blinked involuntarily as water droplets patted its eyelids. "Pika..."
"It's okay, Super Lucario can handle it!"
At this moment, Xiao Zhi's confidence was swelled like never before. The unlocking of the entire system made him firmly believe that he would definitely win in the end.
A-Du's ace Super Fast Dragon has been defeated, and the difficulties and obstacles ahead are no longer there!
...Is that really the case?
A fine curtain of rain enveloped the entire battlefield. The sky above the arena was as dark as ink, and large raindrops pelted down, splashing water in circles on the ground.
A thick mist gradually filled the air, and water continued to accumulate along the cracks in the battle platform, quickly forming puddles of varying depths.
A tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire arena. The cheers from the audience gradually subsided, and the tone of the commentator's voice deepened.
Inside the venue.
Lance recalled the unconscious Dragonite, then pulled out another Poké Ball, his gaze still sharp. "Dragon, indomitable! A king's aura! Dragonite's legacy is entrusted to you! Kingdra!"
boom!
A red light shone forth.
The Kingdra, with its aquamarine body and gently swaying dorsal fins, makes its appearance in a spiral.
Its slender, dragon-shaped body swayed nimbly in the rain, surrounded by mist, its scales gleaming with a cold luster as the rain washed over them.
Gentle ripples spread beneath it, its free-swimming ability activated by the rain, creating an atmosphere that makes Mega Lucario uneasy.
The two Pokémon stared at each other.
In the blink of an eye, King Thorn Dragon had vanished from its spot!
Mega Lucario felt a jolt in its heart as Ash's voice rang in its ears, "Run! Lucario! Use your Aura to sense it!"
"Ow!"
It barked as it strode forward, the fur on the back of its head slightly suspended, and an invisible waveguide gradually covered the entire area.
found it!
Its gaze fell to the distance, where it saw a water trail, barely perceptible to the naked eye, skimming along the ground—it was none other than the Thorn Dragon King, swiftly "swimming" with its body pressed down!
The opponent's figure seemed like the water itself in the fine rain, each tail swing was as smooth as flowing water, and when gliding, it left almost no trace, like a blue lightning bolt.
Ash and Lance gave the order at the same time.
"Shadow Clone!"
"surf!"
The two Pokémon followed suit, but Kingdra was faster, suddenly wagging its tail and diving into the puddles on the ground.
The next moment, a surging wave several meters high suddenly rose from the water, carrying rocks and powerful impact, crashing towards Super Lucario like a raging tsunami.
The surfing area was vast, covering most of the venue. The waves, amplified by the rain, became even more violent, crashing in with overwhelming force.
At the same time, the Super Lucario, which had created numerous clones, leaped into the air, their bodies rising sharply and their lower limbs propelling them into the air, drawing a smooth arc in mid-air.
Boom!
The surging waves crashed down, splashing water everywhere, causing the entire field to tremble slightly. The remaining water washed over the ground, making it even more slippery and difficult to walk on.
With this wave of destruction, most of Super Lucario's clones were immediately destroyed, leaving only one or two big cats and little cats.
A-Du was still not satisfied with the situation. He vividly remembered how Super Dragonite had been tricked by the opponent, and he was determined not to repeat the same mistake.
"Water cannon! Swing it!"
The Spiny Dragon King suddenly raised its head, its tubular mouth wide open, and a torrent of water rapidly condensed in its mouth. The high-pressure water jet, carrying a sky full of rain, erupted with a roar!
Long!
The turquoise water cannon, thick as a pillar, drew a sharp and deadly arc through the rain, heading straight for all the Super Lucarios!
It was like a giant, horizontally lashing water whip, merging with the torrential rain, as if the entire rain curtain had become an extension of its attack.
Ash hurriedly shouted, "Aura Sphere!"
"Ow!"
The Mega Lucarios responded, all converging into enormous, azure bullets and unleashing them at the sweeping water whip!
Unfortunately, a fake is still a fake. Under King Thorn Dragon's relentless attack, all the fake bodies were destroyed. Only when the real body's Aura Sphere collided with the Water Cannon did it explode into a cloud of water mist.
Just when Ash thought the water cannon had been blown apart, the water mist was suddenly shattered by the giant water whip, which then struck Mega Lucario heavily, sending it flying as it crossed its arms to block the attack.
Lucario!
Xiao Zhi shouted.
The host exclaimed, "Water cannon hit! That was quite a powerful move in the rain!"
Countless viewers watched with a tense expression as Super Lucario flew off.
Fortunately, due to its unique shape and the wear and tear from the wave missile, this water cannon failed to display the extraordinary power that the host had described.
Super Lucario, which had been flung dozens of meters away, quickly got up, its eyes gleaming with an indomitable light.
A-Du flicked his cloak and shouted, "Surfing!"
Kingdra dived into the water again, and another surging wave rose up, crashing towards Mega Lucario from afar.
This time, the surfing was even more intense, with the accumulated water and rainwater merging into the waves, increasing both the range and power. When it surged, it was as terrifying as a tsunami!
Ash was fearless and shouted, "Smash it with Aura Sphere!"
His reckless nature was on full display at this moment. After realizing that the shadow clone was not very useful for dodging, his mind immediately switched to attacking.
Attack! Attack!
This momentum may seem reckless and impulsive, but it is extremely suitable for aura control. The growth of the mind causes the aura power of Super Lucario to increase as well.
It charged forward, its eyes enveloped in blue light, and its fists held out to gather waveguide.
The pale blue light gathered and compressed wildly in his palm, gradually forming a spherical energy ball the size of a human head, shining brightly.
With each step Super Lucario takes forward, the Aura Sphere in its hand grows larger, until it approaches the oncoming giant wave, at which point the Aura Sphere is as large as itself!
Ash shouted and swung his fist: "Go—!!"
"Awoo!!"
Super Lucario slammed the giant wave missile forward, causing the two attacks to collide violently!
Bang dong!
The deafening roar echoed throughout the stadium.
Just as Lucario once smashed Gigantamax Duraludon's Max Rock with a Giant Aura Sphere, the tsunami-like Surf was also shattered by this attack. Under Lance's moved gaze, the Aura Sphere rushed towards Kingdra!
However, only the middle part of the surf was destroyed by the wave missile. The tides on both sides continued to surge forward and merge back into the waves. The tides, though not as exaggerated, were still extremely terrifying, and they bombarded Super Lucario.
The latter felt as if he had hit a steel wall and almost fainted.
King Thorn Dragon was also having a tough time.
Although it used its speed to dodge towards the boundary the moment the wave missile broke through the tide, it was still affected by the shock wave generated by the wave missile explosion.
Pale blue energy ripples swept around, causing the scales on the Thorn Dragon King's body to crack slightly, and its body to sway.
The rain that was falling from the sky paused briefly during the tremors, before resuming its flow a few seconds later.
The room fell silent again.
Under the watchful eyes of countless spectators, Super Lucario and Kingdra stood up respectively.
The former was soaking wet, looking like a drowned rat, while the latter had scorch marks on his body, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Both Pokémon were in rather poor condition.
But Ash believed that he and Mega Lucario were still in excellent condition, and now was the perfect time for a surprise attack, so he continued to command, "Bullet Punch!"
"Ow!"
Mega Lucario powered up with its feet, its body transforming into a streak of light, instantly smashing through the drifting water mist in the arena, and rushing towards Kingdra in the far distance, its fists gathering silver-white steel-type energy.
The pre-set move greatly increases its speed, making it perfect for the current pursuit!
The two Pokémon quickly approached each other. Not wanting to give its opponent a chance to retaliate, it unleashed a fierce punch. Its fists were like bullets fired in rapid succession, carrying extreme speed and dense impact force, continuously pounding the entire body of Kingdra.
However, something unexpected happened.
Even with a barrage of punches and a continuous series of sounds, Super Lucario's Bullet Punch missed its mark entirely.
It completely failed to hit the Kingdra, which was leaning back and dodging, just like it had done with the Super Dragonite before.
At this moment, it was like Ip Man receiving Zhang Tianzhi's series of punches, precisely making each punch from its opponent graz its scales.
The bone spurs and dragon scales rubbed against each other from time to time, sparks flying and hissing.
"Ow..."
Super Lucario was initially incredulous, then became furious. He instinctively tried to speed up, forgetting his injuries and the slippery puddle on the ground.
The moment I exerted force with both feet, the pads of my toes slipped, and I lost my balance.
This out-of-control punch unexpectedly hit Kingdra, sending it flying, but it didn't allow Mega Lucario to follow up with the next punch.
The two sides increased the distance between them.
Ash suddenly sensed something was wrong, "Lucario! Double Team—"
A-du: "Immobilization spell."
The moment Mega Lucario attempted to split, Kingdra's eyes lit up with blue light, locking its body in place and preventing it from using any moves.
Immediately afterward, Kingdra advanced instead of retreating, closing in on Mega Lucario.
"Aerospace missile!"
Xiao Zhi habitually relies on waveguides.
Aura didn't disappoint him. As it freed Mega Lucario from the immobilization spell, it condensed a bullet the size of a human head and blasted Kingdra away!
boom!
Smoke and dust billowed as the second heavy blow struck the Dragon King.
When it landed, its body swayed slightly, clearly indicating that it was seriously injured.
But what about Super Lucario?
The rain dispersed the fog, but it couldn't dispel the thick, pale pink fog that lingered around it.
Super Lucario took a breath instinctively, and instantly felt a strong wave of sleepiness wash over his body, his eyelids becoming uncontrollably heavy.
Ash's eyes widened. "This is..."
"Yawn! Kingdra has yawned!"
The host gave the audience the answer: "Use the identity to control Lucario's shadow clone, then use a yawn to hypnotize Mega Lucario!"
Ash realized something was wrong and immediately wanted to switch out Mega Lucario, but Lance was unwilling to give up such an important opportunity.
He had already recalled Kingdra and revealed the Max Bracer on his right hand. "Come on! The final blow!"
The Poké Ball swelled up and he threw it out. The moment it was activated, a dazzling red light enveloped Kingdra. Its body expanded rapidly, growing taller and taller until it finally transformed into a giant creature tens of meters tall!
The rain seemed to become even more violent due to its maximal size, pouring down and turning the entire area into the shape of an ocean!
Ash's Recycle Beam couldn't penetrate the rain curtain, so he could only yell for Mega Lucario to wake up.
But in the end, it was all in vain.
Awata shouted, "Go! Max Water Stream!"
The Dynamaxed Kingdra raised its head and let out a deafening roar. A bright blue light gathered in front of its thick mandibles, transforming into a colossal wave that could cover the entire arena!
It enveloped the drowsy and sluggish Mega Lucario with immense power and torrential rain, and with a devastating force!
Boom—!!
A tsunami-like wave crashed down, and this time, Super Lucario had no way to dodge or resist. It could only let the terrifying current engulf it and drift with the current.
Like a toy dog thrown into a washing machine, its body was constantly torn apart by the powerful water flow.
A few seconds later, the violent waves slowly subsided, but the ground was still covered in water and mud.
Super Lucario lay sprawled in the mud, its eyes glazed over.
A flash of light enveloped it, and it reverted to its original form, completely losing its ability to fight.
Deng Pei entered the arena, raised his right hand, and announced: "Lucario is unable to battle! Kingdra wins!"
Wow!
The audience erupted in thunderous applause!
The rain continued to fall, washing away the mess on the battlefield. The Dynamaxed Kingdra looked down at Lucario with the arrogance befitting its "king" status.
In the second match of the second round of the eight masters, A-Du won, avenging his Dragonite defeat.
