Gardevoir Appears! Tsubaki's Doubts, Lance's Unbearable Gaze.

Chapter 469 Gardevoir Appears! Tsubaki's Doubts, Lance's Unbearable Gaze.

As the commands were given, the two spirits began to unleash their respective skills.

Dragonite let out a deafening roar, flapping all its wings on its head and back in an almost frenzied manner.

Its four wings churned the air, creating a giant storm with a diameter of tens of meters.

The ceiling of the entire dojo had been open for a long time, and the airflow from high above was swept in by the storm, forming a terrifying funnel-shaped vortex.

The gravel at the edge of the field was swept into the wind, and the ripples on the barrier vibrated violently, emitting a low buzzing sound.

"Woohoo! Dragonite poured all the remaining power in its body into this attack."

The storm, like a roaring dragon, swept towards the Tanabata bird in mid-air, devouring it.

The Qixi Bluebird raised its neck and condensed a pink orb of light in its beak that was larger than ever before.

The sphere of light emitted a dazzling glow, turning the surrounding air a pale pink.

The full power of the moon almost surpassed the limit of the Tanabata Bluebird!

The next second, the power of the moon transformed into a pink torrent, crashing head-on into the sweeping storm.

The two forces clashed fiercely in mid-air.

The storm violently tore at the energy of the moon's power, and pink light scattered and flew in all directions within the vortex.

The power of the moon was also desperately eroding the interior of the storm, trying to disintegrate the blue wind pillar from the center.

The air exploded under the strain, and shockwaves spread outwards in concentric circles, crashing against the barrier and creating dense ripples.

Both elves were using their last bit of strength.

Dragonite's four wings flapped slower and slower, each flap feeling like pushing a mountain.

The moon's power, as described by the Qixi Bluebird, flickered and could be extinguished at any moment.

Finally, the pink light broke free from the storm and rushed towards Dragonite.

At this moment, Dragonite was still controlling the power of the storm, and—she had almost no strength left, flying in mid-air almost entirely on instinct.

Therefore, even if she could clearly see the trajectory of the approaching lunar power, and even if the attack speed was much slower than that of ordinary skills, she would still have little strength to dodge it.

The pink light rapidly magnified in Dragonite's amber pupils.

"Bang!"

The power of the moon slammed solidly into Dragonite's chest.

Dragonite's massive body plummeted from the sky like a golden meteor, crashing heavily into the center of the arena.

The ground was smashed into a huge crater, with debris flying everywhere and dust billowing into the sky.

At the same time, the storm in the air also went out of control the moment Dragonite fell.

The violent column of wind exploded, engulfing the equally exhausted Tanabata Bluebird and flinging her towards the edge of the arena like tearing off a fallen leaf.

Before the bluebird could even utter a cry of pain, it crashed into the barrier, slid down the transparent wall, and collapsed to the ground.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Dragonite lay in the center of the pit, its eyes closed, a piece of scale on its chest broken, and a large patch of its white feather charred black.

The bluebird of the Double Seventh Festival lay fallen beside the screen, its fluffy feathers disheveled, its elegant wings drooping helplessly on the ground.

Both spirits lost their ability to fight.

This result shocked everyone; two more Pokémon had lost their ability to battle!

In a battle, such a situation happening once could be considered a coincidence, but this has happened twice now.

This battle is just too bizarre!

After a moment of silence, both sides took out their Poké Balls and recalled their Pokémon.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dragonite. You did a great job. We'll definitely do even better next time."

Ash smiled and comforted the Dragonite in its Poké Ball, saying that for its first battle, being able to fight against an opponent of a higher level like this had far exceeded Ash's expectations.

In terms of combat skills and experience, Dragonite is far inferior to its other Pokémon.

After all, she has never had a proper battle since she was captured by Hakron; all her battles have been internal conflicts.

Although he also gave commands and cooperated with others, they were indeed no match for the other elves.

Dragonite can be absolutely proud of being able to take down an opponent who is one level above it and one level below it.

On the other side, Xiaochun comforted her spirit, but at the same time, a sense of frustration rose in her heart.

Before meeting Xiaozhi today, she was quite confident in her command skills.

She felt that although she might not catch up with her cousin, she was probably very close.

Her current command level is absolutely comparable to that of a champion trainer.

However, after two battles, her dream of winning the championship was shattered.

What kind of champion trainer is he? He was defeated twice in a row by someone of a higher level, and both times they were eliminated in the same way.

Even though her Pokémon was stronger, she was still beaten like this, which is enough to show the difference between trainers.

It's because she's not as skilled as others!

However—if her opponent is a seasoned champion like Cynthia or Adolf, she would accept being outmatched even if she were technically inferior.

But her opponent was just a boy who was not even sixteen years old, several years younger than her!

He hasn't even been in the industry for a year, yet not only has his Pokémon's strength caught up, but his training level has also far surpassed his current age.

He's a complete freak!

The rumors circulating about Ash Ketchum were absolutely true: a Kanto Supernova, the most likely trainer of the new era to challenge Leon, a genius whose talent far surpasses Leon's.

She used to think that these were just media exaggerations, but now it seems that she hadn't recognized the reality.

Xiaochun took a deep breath and suppressed all her negative emotions.

The battle isn't over yet; we can't give up here!

"This is the final battle, Miss Tsubaki. Let's fight without regrets!"

Ash took out his last Poké Ball and smiled at Tsubaki.

Looking at the other person's smile, Xiaochun felt a little dazed. He seemed to be genuinely enjoying the Pokémon battle, rather than simply focusing on winning or losing.

"Hmm—Come on, for the final match, I'll bring out my strongest Pokémon to show my respect for you!"

As soon as Xiaochun finished speaking, she took out the last Poké Ball and threw it onto the field.

"Bang!"

With a flash of light, a deep blue, serpentine Pokémon appeared on the field—Hakulong!

Is this Xiaochun's strongest Pokémon?

Ash was stunned when he saw Dragonair, but even he was a little confused after seeing Dragonair's information.

Hakron — Champion Junior?

Is it true that Xiaochun trained a Dragonair to Champion beginner level but it still hasn't evolved?

When A-Du saw Hakron, a glint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Well done, Tsubaki. It seems that the path you chose has finally paid off."

Hearing Wataru's praise, Tsubaki couldn't help but smile: "Wata-nii, I told you, even without evolving, just relying on Dragonair's form, we can still stand at the top of the world! Dragonair and I will prove that our path is the right one!"

A-Du nodded: "Indeed, you and Hakuryu have taken completely different paths. Let me see how you and Hakuryu fight."

It is already quite an achievement to train a Hakkarosaurus to champion level without it evolving.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's almost impossible for it to exist.

But through her own hard work and Hakron's talent, Xiaochun turned the impossible into a possibility!

Xiao Gang, standing nearby, exclaimed, "The previous information said that Miss Tsubaki's strongest Pokémon was at the peak of the Elite Four level, but surprisingly, it didn't specify which Pokémon it was. I thought it would be Dragonite. So Miss Tsubaki trained Dragonair to the peak of the Elite Four level? That's truly amazing!"

"It's not at the peak of the Elite Four level, it's at the Champion level. That Dragonite is at the beginner Champion level, Brock," Ash reminded him from the field.

Xiao Gang:

Xiao Zhi's words almost caused Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia to crash on the spot.

A champion-level Hakron? This guy is no pushover either!

How could an ordinary person train a dragon to champion level!

Whether people admit it or not, it is extremely difficult for an unevolved Pokémon to reach the top level.

Not to mention pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Xiaochun's success is a result of talent, hard work, and opportunity—all three are indispensable.

If they hadn't met Ash, Clover's achievements might have astonished Brock and the others for a very long time.

But to be honest, compared to Ash, Tsubaki's achievements can only be compared to a firefly vying for the moon's brilliance.

"It's your turn, Ash. Bring out your last Pokémon." Tsubaki's tone was full of confidence.

Although Ash's two Pokémon fought to a draw with her Pokémon, this also exposed one of Ash's weaknesses.

That is, he doesn't have a truly powerful elf.

Two Pokémon, one professional-level and one gym-level, are indeed quite good for a trainer who has been traveling for less than a year.

However, it's still not enough to challenge the Yanmo Dojo with this alone.

Xiaochun was indeed somewhat surprised that Xiaozhi could tell that her Hakron was champion-level.

Being able to discern a Pokémon's level without battling is something only champion-level trainers can do, and Ash's trainer skills are indeed beyond doubt.

However—a trainer's level can be quickly increased through talent, but a Pokémon cannot.

No matter how talented an elf is, there's still a threshold for strength, which is different from suddenly gaining intelligence.

How far can a Pokémon be trained in a year? It would be amazing if you could get a Dragonite that's at the Gym Leader level.

As for the previous rumors about him defeating Lorelei—perhaps it's because Lorelei wasn't taking it seriously at all, and Ash caught her off guard by using that method of amplifying Pokémon's power.

If a real fight were to break out, Xiaochun doesn't believe that Xiaozhi can defeat Kona with his meager Pokémon.

He can't possibly actually have a champion-level Pokémon, can he?

Hehe, what are you talking about?

"I choose you, Gardevoir!" Ash threw out his last Pokémon.

With a flash of light, Gardevoir, with blue hair and a white dress, appeared on the field, exuding an elegant and gentle aura.

However, beneath that aura lay a power that was difficult to fathom.

Upon seeing Gardevoir, a look of shock flashed across Avalon's eyes once more, and even Cynthia's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Champion—a genuine champion!

This power is not obtained through special means or MEGA evolution, but rather it has already reached the champion level!

Has Ash already acquired a true Champion-level Pokémon?

He's only fifteen!

To be able to train a champion-level Pokémon at the age of fifteen is beyond what the word "genius" can describe.

He's simply a freak!

"Sana~" Gardevoir raised her beautiful eyes slightly and glanced at Dragonair floating in mid-air.

With just one glance, Hakron seemed to be under mental pressure, and his body involuntarily shrank a little.

This beautiful elf is stronger than her!

Xiaochun didn't notice this detail; while she was amazed by Gardevoir's beauty, she was also impressed by Ash's luck.

"A shiny Gardevoir, plus the pseudo-legendary Dragonite from before, and Greninja capable of Mystic Evolution—Ash, you really have a lot of rare Pokémon around you!"

"Hehe, just lucky." Xiao Zhi waved his hand and replied with a light laugh.

When he said he was lucky, he wasn't just being polite; he was genuinely incredibly lucky!

While others go through great hardships to find rare spirits, he finds all sorts of rare spirits flocking to him.

What trainer would encounter a Pokémon with double S-rank potential while walking down the street?

Only a small AI receives this kind of treatment.

Since the start of his journey, none of the spirits he has acquired have been ones he actively sought out.

Despite catching them randomly, he managed to capture a bunch of Pokémon with monstrous talents.

"However, having a rare Pokémon isn't enough to win a match. Since you know my Dragonair is Champion-level, your Gardevoir shouldn't be too weak, right?"

"Don't worry, Master Chun, I'll make sure you have a great time."

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see."

After that, the arena fell silent for a moment. Xiaochun looked at Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi looked at Xiaochun, staring at each other wide-eyed. Finally, Xiaochun couldn't hold back and asked, "Aren't you going to use that move?"

Xiao Zhi: ?

"What move?"

"That move that boosts a Pokémon's power, the one where you get blue light." Xiaochun didn't know about Aura, so she could only describe the scene when Ash used Aura.

The reason she didn't attack was that she was waiting for Ash to strengthen his Pokémon.

Otherwise, if the opponent is killed in one move, then there is no point in fighting, right?

As a result, Ash stood still in the same spot, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon hearing this, Ash's face showed a strange expression.

Xiaochun:

What does that mean? What does it mean to not need to use that kind of power?

You mean your Gardevoir can beat my Champion-level Hakuryu on its own?

Are you kidding me?!

"I gave you a chance, Ash. If the battle ends instantly, don't blame me."

Xiaochun said this.

A-Du, sitting in the audience, covered his eyes, unable to bear watching.

Sis, stop talking! I can't bear the embarrassment!
