Chapter 71
Now—my championship moment!
Woo-woo-woo-woo
The piercing air raid siren tore through the sky above Di'an City, followed by urgent announcements from the city's public address system.
"Urgent Notice! Urgent Notice! Di'an City is immediately placed on Level 1 alert!"
"All residents, please return to your residences immediately! Staying home is strictly prohibited! Repeat, staying home is strictly prohibited!"
"An anomaly has occurred at the First Emperor's Mausoleum! The Ghost-type energy index is out of control! The Ghost-type Pokémon sleeping inside are causing a massive riot!"
"All available Elite and higher-ranking Trainers in the city, please proceed immediately to the First Emperor's Mausoleum! Support Anming, the Gym Leader of the Unpredictable City Gym, and protect our home!"
The city's hustle and bustle was instantly frozen.
After a brief period of panic, people began to evacuate home efficiently and in an orderly manner.
This astonishing response speed was largely due to the various "rumors" that Rocket Express employees had "unintentionally" spread beforehand.
When the warning came true, the lingering doubts in people's hearts transformed into a preemptive opportunity for action.
The bustling streets quickly became deserted, like the receding tide.
In contrast, the trainers scattered throughout the city dropped everything they were doing, turned around without hesitation, and sped toward the Imperial Mausoleum.
……
"Azure Flame Blade Demon! Regret Sword!"
An Ming roared, his muscles bulging, and he actually broke through the immobilization spell!
He narrowly dodged a strange, eerie light and issued a command to the Azure Flame Blade Demon.
The Azure Flame Blade Demon's twin blades crossed, and the Netherworld Ghost Flame condensed into a massive sword aura, which was then fiercely unleashed!
The violent sword pressure forcefully blasted a Night Demon Spirit that was trying to break through the defenses back into the ghostly tide!
Anming took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, his back soaked with sweat.
He looked at Professor Oak, who was operating the instruments and directing Dragonite, his voice hoarse.
"Doctor! This can't go on! It's only a matter of time before we're worn down!"
"The Ghost-type energy level is dropping! We need to figure out a way to calm the raging energy emanating from those Ghost-type Pokémon!"
Professor Oak looked at the computer in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief before giving commands to Dragonite.
"Dragonite, Dragon Dive! Open the breach!"
"roar--"
Dragonite roared and shook the heavens, a powerful kick forced back the entangled Night Demon, and then spread its wings and soared into the sky!
A vast amount of dragon energy gathered wildly around it, transforming into a ferocious, roaring phantom of a giant dragon head!
The next moment, it crashed into the densest area of the ghost horde with destructive force!
The earth trembled violently! Smoke and dust billowed into the sky!
A huge circular vacuum zone was instantly cleared, buying precious breathing room for the crumbling front-line defenses!
calm?
That's easy for you to say!
Anming gritted his teeth, feeling extremely distressed as he looked at the Ghost-type Pokémon that showed no signs of fatigue.
Each one of them is as powerful as a Totem Pokémon, but they have no rationality and only know how to throw out moves randomly and recklessly break through.
They didn't care at all whether they were injured or not.
After finally managing to drive them back, they would rise again in no time. I really don't know how to end this battle.
Fortunately, he was not fighting alone.
"Steel Serpent, Wide Guard! Where are you?! Hurry up and build two walls!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help! Hairy Troll, Light Wall! Reflector!"
"Stop it! Stop that cursed doll! Damn it! I told you to stop it, stop it!"
"Watch out! A clay giant is passing by! Quickly use water to blast it back!"
"Miss Joey! Someone over there has fainted! Quickly, carry him away!"
……
The voices of countless trainers rang out. Anming could not back down at this moment, nor could he back down; it was his responsibility as the gym leader.
It is also his glory as the Heavenly King of the East!
He must be on the front lines!
"Blue Flame Blade Demon!"
An Ming wiped the sweat from his eyes, clenched his fist, swung it sharply, and roared:
"Flame Vortex! Build a wall for me!"
The Azure Flame Blade Demon's twin blades ignited with raging flames, and his figure soared into the air like a ghost!
It spun around and slashed, the blazing flames like two roaring fire dragons crashing down from the sky to the ground, instantly spreading into a raging Great Wall of flames that stretched across the battlefield!
"Use this as the boundary!"
Anming's voice echoed across the battlefield.
"No Entry—!!!"
With the Gym Leader Anming as the base, the trainers formed a defensive line, while Officer Jenny directed the police officers to form an encirclement.
In the rear, the temporary aid station was operating efficiently.
Nurse Joy and the Chansey moved among the injured and exhausted Pokémon, their healing light shining brightly.
Thus, a delicate balance was temporarily achieved.
An Ming had just narrowly dodged a tricky Shadow Ball attack, and before he could catch his breath, a wave of evil energy rushed towards him!
Damn it! There's no escaping it now!
"Charmeleon, Dragon Breath!"
"Dream Demon, use psychic power to propel it forward!"
Two firm voices rang out.
Charizard's scorching dragon breath, propelled by Misdreavus's precise psychic power, suddenly accelerated, barely intercepting the Dark Pulse!
"Thanks……"
An Ming had barely uttered half a word when he saw who it was, and his anger instantly overwhelmed his gratitude.
"Anxin! Anyi! You're all crazy! Who gave you permission to come to the front lines! Anyi's being ridiculous! Anxin, why are you going to join in his nonsense too!"
"Everyone is on the front lines, why should we hide in the back!"
An Yi stubbornly retorted, her eyes defiant.
"Are we special?!"
"you!"
There was no time for arguing, and Anming suppressed his anger.
"Stay close to me! Don't stray even for a moment!"
As more and more trainers joined the battlefield like streams flowing into the ocean, the battle lines, which had been gradually compressed, miraculously began to push back!
At this critical moment.
"Mega Garchomp - Draco Meteor!"
A cold shout came from the heavens.
A streak of colorful light flashed, and Mega Garchomp transformed into a jet plane, soaring straight into the sky.
Countless brilliant meteors, burning with dragon-type energy, exploded in the sky, creating countless meteors that crashed down.
"It's the Dragon Star Cluster!"
"Such a large range—Garuda! It's the Cyndaquil Champion's Garuda!"
"It's the champion of bamboo orchids! We're saved!"
"The champion of bamboo orchids is back!"
A person's name is like a tree's shadow!
The trainers all looked up at the sky.
From above, Cynthia, riding Mega Garchomp, crashed into the battle line, the shockwave sending up dust that spread like a curtain.
As the dust settled, she slowly rose to her feet.
The dragon stars that exploded behind them created waves that assaulted the trainers' senses.
Mega Garchomp's sweeping Draco Meteor was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly stabilizing the crumbling defenses!
The sense of security I feel is stronger than ever before!
Professor Oak quickly stepped forward and reported the battle situation at a rapid pace.
Cynthia turned around, and Mega Garchomp landed back in position, the Poké Ball on its waist flashing brightly.
Milotic, Rockruff, Gastrodon, Lucario, Roserade—
The championship team's main squad is all on the field!
The command then fell.
"Flower Rock Monster, Deceptive Space!"
"Roserede, apply Poison Spikes!"
"Lucario, use Aura Missiles to cover Milotic's Aqua Ring!"
"Sea Gastrodon, use Turbid Current Suppression!"
"Garuda - Stomp!"
The Deceptive Space of the Rockruff opens, Roserade's Toxic Spikes spread and cover the area, and Lucario's Phantom Missiles create a safe space for Milotic's Aqua Ring.
Gastrodon's Turbid Current precisely blocks all Cursed Fire, while Mega Garchomp's Roar Stomp repels all Ghost Pokémon that try to get close.
Cynthia gently brushed aside her wind-blown golden hair and stood steadily in front of all the trainers.
Facing an endless array of Ghost-type Pokémon, they were full of vigor and confidence.
Now—it's my championship moment!
