Reflective wall.

This round saw both sides win and lose, but no clear result.

In the next instant, the Fire Rabbit dodged and spun around, pressing down on its body. The dense poison condensed into a bundle as its toes lifted, corresponding to the blackish-purple crest feathers.

Garbage shooting.

The corrosive acid erodes the soil, let alone the little demons that are attacked and subdued by it.

"Dan Di anticipated Nan Yin's intentions, and this attack was extremely effective, rendering E Gui Peng unable to fight..."

Just as the passionate commentary was about to continue, the sight of the small beast, its burn marks gone and now standing motionless, silenced him.

"This is?"

"Sturdy characteristics".

The speed of the Fire Rabbit naturally overwhelmed the entire field, but just as the attack was about to begin, the Evil Phantom had already heard the girl's command, put on the Foundation Stone Mask, forced away the acid poison, and caught up with the former.

Stomp your feet.

Their bodies intertwined, yet the battle never faltered for a moment due to a momentary lapse in concentration. A powerful kick landed squarely on the forehead, extinguishing both body and mind's consciousness.

The changing of the mask makes the characteristics no longer fixed, and the tenacious willpower is enough for the little devil to withstand the fierce poison attack and even take advantage of the situation to fight back.

The score has changed; Nanyin has taken the first point in this match.

Emperor Dan raised his hand to retrieve the Flame Rabbit, then pondered for a moment before throwing the ball again.

New shoots break through the soil, stems and leaves flourish, and amidst the verdant greenery, robust apes hold drums to command the scene.

The characteristics of grassy fields are thus activated.

"Close the distance and finish the battle quickly."

It was a firm command.

Striking the drumhead, using the momentum to rush forward, the grass and trees form a path as they step, paving the way for the thunderous golden gorilla to advance, intent on crushing the already weakened and treacherous beast.

Grass slide.

Using preemptive skills is certainly a wise move, but how could Nan Yin not understand this from her perspective?

Faced with the adaptable and resourceful Evil Phantom, and the skillful puppet with a calm and focused mind, neither Ghost Dragon nor Water Lizard can dominate the field. Based on this, it can be concluded that only the Pokémon with exceptional endurance and the ability to change the field can regain control of the battle.

Spike defense.

The thorny vine stick it held extended its roots and pierced the ground. Instantly, countless thorns and roots burst forth from the soil, weaving together to form an impenetrable shield wall in front of the little demon. The moment the hammer of the thunderous ape struck the thorns, all the soft roots instantly transformed into sharp spikes, causing the one exerting the force to suffer immense pain and forcing them to retreat.

At the same time, Magiana, whose special attack is even more formidable due to her Soul Heart, lightly raises her small hand, unleashing endless bitter cold.

Frozen beam.

Caught between inertia and momentum, the grass gorilla could not evade. It could only raise the drumhead, trying to resist with all its might, but it was still swallowed up by the deadly cold light, leaning backward and plowing through the mud.

When the commotion subsided, the Vajra body that had been galloping across the grassland was already supporting itself on its palms, unable to rise again.

One wrong step leads to another. With his intentions and thoughts exposed, even the Pill Emperor cannot regain the initiative.

Moreover, just as the ghost sword's slash, slightly slower, was about to land, the little demon regained its strength and used its rattan staff to intercept it, remaining unharmed.

Despite losing two points in a row, Dan Di remained calm and composed.

In the shadows, a dragon-like beast with narrow eyes and sharp horns broke free from its restraints and revealed its form.

That's Dragapult, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon named after Galar.

In the past, this reflective barrier that was first erected would have eventually become powerless, but the carrying of the light clay allowed the barrier in front of him to survive.

"Turning back immediately."

In the blink of an eye, the little demon transformed into a cluster of red light and returned to Nan Yin's fingertips. Although the ghost dragon's pursuit was swift, the existence of the reflective barrier made it difficult to cause casualties.

Her hair was loose and braided, her waist swayed in the wind, and her wings appeared gracefully from the thin mist.

"Shadowball!"

Shadowball.

The same command, different results: the flapping wings transformed into arcs of light, like butterflies fluttering, while the ghost dragon lurked into the shadows, breaking free from the mud as it approached, releasing its shadow.

The initiative in speed should have been seized by the latter, but the carrying of driving energy amplified the graceful figure of the small beast once again.

The strengths and weaknesses of Ghost-type characters are evident at this moment.

As if struck by a heavy blow, Dorambaruto crashed heavily to the ground. The surging eerie light lost its source, and its power was greatly reduced. Even if it hit Zhenyifa, it would not be enough to cause any loss of combat strength.

With her spirit gathering its strength and will, Magearna has reached the pinnacle of her special attack as the battle progresses.

Is it possible to lose another key player?

His faith wavered, and Dan Di's expression turned serious, yet he smiled with relief.

No matter what, I shouldn't doubt my partner. Besides, losing is never shameful.

As the gentle breeze blew, the slender, multifaceted evader placed her hand on her waist, dismissed the former, and appeared with a furrowed brow.

However, though their hearts were willing, their strength was insufficient. In just a moment, the boundless power of the demon had already overwhelmed the entire scene.

"Flower Cannon".

It was a calm instruction.

The almost inexhaustible energy devoured the trees and drove away the heavy clouds, leaving them nowhere to escape or hide.

"Hold on!"

The crystal walls overlapped and clustered together, yet even so, the relentless pressure gradually extinguished their bodies and minds.

"again."

As the girl's cold voice faded, the battle finally became completely unbalanced, with only... remaining in Dan Emperor's hands.

An ace.

"This... this is actually the case."

"Is the final going to end 5-0?"

"Shocking! Such control of the stage, such foresight, Nan Yin is like an absolute king on a chessboard, having everything under his control."

Far off at the edge of the stands, Qinglu was lost in thought, while the young man in the red hat, who had arrived at some unknown time, also had a deep gaze.

In this state, Nanyin music may have already entered... a higher level, like the summit of Silver Mountain, a realm that no one can reach.

The enthusiastic cheers were like the roar of the tide, but the Dandi and Nanyin in the center remained largely unmoved.

Without showing any disappointment, the brown-skinned man nodded confidently.

He was acutely aware that he had no chance of winning at this moment.

However, at the moment he realized he was about to lose, Dante sensed the fading of a certain burden, replaced by a passion and desire to start anew.

The championship is far from the end of the journey.

He tossed his cap aside, his eyes filled only with fighting spirit.

What I saw were piercing golden eyes, and what I heard was bright laughter.

"Go, Charizard! Gigantamax!"

The sky surged with swirling vortexes, storms swirled among the clouds, moisture evaporated, becoming increasingly hazy, and the fiery dragon's form grew a hundredfold.

"Leon's Gigantamax Charizard has arrived!"

With a serious expression and a direct gaze at the man on the field, Nan Yin saw a lot. She saw a champion carrying a heavy burden, enduring fatigue, yet forcing a smile, carrying this land forward. She also saw him at this moment, radiating enthusiasm and a genuine smile from the heart.

He was not discouraged by his impending defeat, but instead found a new goal and a new starting point in their battles.

So what about yourself?

"Gigantamax Hellfire!"

Upon hearing the distant command, the Flame Dragon swelled its belly, sparks flying everywhere, and suddenly spewed out a massive amount of flames, like a golden giant bird with a cry, already covered in flames as it swooped down.

The raging fire blotted out the sky and scorched the clouds red; it was a furious flame capable of destroying all life, a divine punishment.

But for some reason, everything in front of me became increasingly blurry, making it difficult to see the reality.

My thoughts drifted back to that evening two years ago.

She stood in the shade of the tree, keeping company with the small, filthy figure abandoned in the cardboard box, filled with wariness and distrust of the world. It huddled up, its large amber eyes brimming with hurt and alienation, yet even covered in wounds, it maintained a sturdy pride.

Perhaps, at the beginning, there was still some wariness, but the time spent together wore away the unfamiliarity, and they learned to rely on each other, even depend on each other.

Feeding time and time again, calling softly time and time again, being scratched, being dodged, but never giving up.

Until that rainy night, the little one, running a high fever, finally weakly and tentatively pressed his fluffy little head gently against my cold palm...

It was them, with their soft paw pads, that slowly opened the door to their hearts, which had been frozen by leaving home, allowing the seeds of loneliness to sprout roots called 'home' in the soil of Carlos.

What she sought was never the glory of ruling the world. Rather, it was the light and shadow under the trees, the morning grooming, the tired yet contented cuddling after training, the warm embrace from Korne... These ordinary, trivial yet incredibly real moments formed the most solid anchor in her life, allowing her to find her inner harbor in any storm.

The ultimate tactic is not cold calculation and absolute control, but entrusting your back to someone without reservation.

The high temperature was blowing on her face, but Nanyin simply spread her five fingers to shut out the disturbance from her body and from her little world.

The intense heat distorted her vision, but it couldn't blur the incredibly clear smile blooming on her lips. That smile held no trace of fervor for victory, only the deepest trust and tenderness for her comrades.

Instead of raising her arm, she gently pressed the dazzling Z Crystal to her chest with an almost reverent gesture—on the heart that beat in unison with Eevee.

"Eevee." The call was as soft as a sigh, yet it pierced through the roar of the fumarole and was clearly imprinted deep in the little beast's soul.

"Buyi!"

In response to her was Eevee's powerful and resolute roar, and an incomparably dazzling iridescent glow, which instantly resonated and merged with the light of the Z Crystal on the girl's chest.

Then, whispers lingered and reached every household.

"Adorable stars fly and collide."

No need for elaborate dances, no need for exaggerated shouts. A shared understanding is the most powerful battle cry!

The light of bonds transcends form at this moment!

A golden, world-destroying firebird swoops down, while a rainbow-colored guardian meteor makes a counterattack.

Boom!

With the sound of the explosion, the towering structure, hundreds of feet high, was completely destroyed.

The entire palace arena fell into absolute silence.

Hundreds of thousands of eyes were fixed on the girl kneeling on one knee in the center of the field, embracing Eevee tightly, and then on the Charizard lying on the opposite side, head drooping, already unconscious.

The champion from Galar was stunned and speechless for a long time.

The referee's lips moved slightly, as if trying to confirm whether this scene was real. After a brief pause, the flag in his hand finally waved resolutely towards Nanyin with unprecedented reverence.

"Charizard has lost consciousness. Therefore, the ultimate winner of this Pokémon World Championship is—"

In the electrifying stadium, the man took a deep breath and hissed:

"Therefore, the winner is Carlos Champion, Nan Yin!"

The brief silence was completely ignited, and every seat in the audience turned into a boiling ocean!

"Nanyin, Nanyin, Nanyin!"

The sound waves rose higher and higher, drowning out all other sounds and shaking the entire city of Gongmen.

In the VIP section, Karuni stood up excitedly, her eyes gleaming with immense pride. Green leaned back in her chair, letting out a long breath, her eyes filled with utter submission, while Crimson lowered the brim of her hat, a hint of fighting spirit curving her lips.

Fireworks lit up the starry night sky, and the young girl slowly stepped forward, embracing a group of children and taking her lover into her arms.

"Thank you for your contributions, and I look forward to the rest of my life..."

The cheers reached their peak, while the moonlight, along with this mutual dependence, gradually faded into the distance.

A new world champion has been born!

"She traversed dense forests, crossed snowfields, and plunged into the earth, treating people with kindness and comforting them with tolerance. She is a young girl, a trainer, and above all, a champion."

"Let's congratulate the world champion, Nan Yin!"

Cheers and shouts, tears and laughter, excitement and joy—countless emotions intertwined, this memory will never fade.

Amidst the fireworks, Nan Yin could clearly feel her vision blurring. Fortunately, the little beast at her neck fluttered its wings, and the Eevee in her arms pricked up its pointed ears, occasionally causing her a slight itch.
