Chapter 470 The Violent Queen catches Reverse Scale, Swiftness, and Iron Tail with one hand! One-hit kill!
From A-Du's perspective, the harsh words that Xiao Chun is making are really too embarrassing.
Their Gardevoir is a true Champion-level champion!
Moreover, judging from his perception, that Gardevoir was even slightly stronger than Xiaochun's Dragonair.
This makes Xiaochun's words seem even more clownish.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiaochun, completely unaware of what was happening, began preparing to command Hakron after making her harsh remarks.
Since the other party doesn't accept her kindness, there's no need for her to keep trying.
After defeating Ash, he will realize just how utterly wrong his actions were!
Without further hesitation, Xiaochun waved her hand forward, "Hakuron, Water Cannon!"
The azure-blue Hakron raised its head and let out a long cry, condensing a huge azure-blue water sphere in its mouth.
Although the opponent's strength is probably not as good as Dragonair, it is still a Fairy-type, and Dragon-type moves have no effect on it.
The enormous water sphere, imbued with the pressure of a champion, transformed into a terrifying water column in the air, roaring as it shot towards Gardevoir.
Wherever it passed, the air was torn open with a distorted mark.
The power of this attack was even more formidable than the moon's power of the Tanabata Bluebird earlier.
In the center of the arena, facing the oncoming water cannons, Gardevoir didn't even budge an inch.
She simply raised one hand slightly, and a transparent wall of light appeared out of thin air in front of her.
"boom!"
The water cannon slammed solidly into the smooth wall, splashing water everywhere, yet not even leaving a single crack.
The barrier of light remained as steady as a rock, effortlessly deflecting a champion-level attack.
Xiaochun's smile froze on her face.
This move is... a light wall?
When was it used? Ash clearly didn't issue any command.
Moreover—even a light screen should only halve the power of special attacks, how could it possibly block a water cannon directly?
At this point, Xiaochun already sensed that something was wrong.
The ability to instantly unleash a light screen capable of withstanding a Champion-level Hydro Pump—this Gardevoir's strength—could it already be a Champion?
With a gentle flick of her slender fingers, Gardevoir shattered the light barrier in front of her into countless points of light.
Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her hands and condensed a pale pink ball of moonlight power in front of her.
Fairy-type moves are incredibly effective against Dragon-type Dragonair!
The ball of light wasn't particularly large, but the energy it contained was extremely concentrated.
The power of the moon swept past, and Hakuryu quickly dodged to the side, barely avoiding a fatal blow. However, the moon's power still grazed its body and exploded, sending its massive form flying backward with a scream.
With just one move, the Hakron, which had been trained to the level of champion, had already suffered a considerable loss.
Xiao Chun's breath hitched. Something was wrong.
The power of that lunar strike was far beyond her expectations.
She subconsciously focused her attention to sense Gardevoir's presence, and upon sensing it, she froze on the spot.
"Crown—Champion Intermediate?"
Her voice was trembling slightly.
She originally thought that even if Ash's Gardevoir was Champion-level, it would at most be on the same level as her own Dragonair, a Champion beginner.
But at this moment, she clearly felt that the power contained in that elegant aura was a whole small level higher than her Hakron!
Champion Intermediate!
A boy who has been in the industry for less than a year actually has a genuine Champion-level Pokémon in his hand!
Are you kidding me?!
A trainer who has been in the industry for less than a year has actually trained a mid-level champion Pokémon?
Could he have gotten this from someone through connections?!
However, the perfect teamwork between Gardevoir and Ash, as well as Ash's pride as a trainer, proves that this Gardevoir was not a gift from someone else, but was raised by Ash himself.
This can't be described as just good luck. Who's lucky enough to raise a champion-level Pokémon?
Seeing this, Cynthia couldn't help but sigh. Ash's appearances always exceeded her expectations. The last time she battled Ash, Pikachu was only at the Elite Four level, and it barely managed to hold its own against her Togekiss through various means.
The battle between the two sides.
But now, Ash already has a Champion-level Pokémon.
Putting aside the other Pokémon, this Gardevoir alone is enough to compete with her Togekiss.
Without using any external force.
If Ash were to use that move that boosts a Pokémon, or Mega Evolve Gardevoir, then in terms of strength, his Togekiss would be even weaker than Gardevoir.
If he continues to grow like this, by the time he reaches the Grandmasters, Ash might actually be able to nurture a whole team of Champion-level Pokémon.
At that time, even without relying on that special power, Ash will be able to compete against the champions.
You've grown up, Ash. I look forward to the day we meet again at Master Eight.
Cynthia's beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation. She looked forward to a thrilling six-on-six match with Ash under the spotlight.
Lance, who was standing nearby, was also surprised. The power that Ash's Gardevoir unleashed was even stronger than he had expected.
Furthermore, Gardevoir is super effective against Fairy-type Dragon-types, so his cousin is likely to suffer a crushing defeat in this match.
Hwang blinked, somewhat confused. In the previous battle between Ash and Chloe, it could be said that both sides were evenly matched.
Even Xiaozhi is slightly inferior.
Why is it that now that Xiaochun has brought out her ace Pokémon, it seems like Ash is having a much easier time?
Does this mean that Ash's ace is much stronger than Tsubaki's?
He's about the same age as her, right? How could he raise such a powerful elf?!
"Hakuron, your Achilles' heel!"
With things having come to this point, there was no point in backing down. Tsubaki decisively ordered Dragonair to use its strongest Dragon-type move, Outrage!
Suddenly, a crimson dragon-type flame erupted from Hakuryu's body, a raging power that disregarded everything.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhi frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.
Outrage is a Dragon-type move, so it's naturally useless against Fairy-type Gardevoir. However, Tsubaki had Dragonair use Outrage not to attack Gardevoir, but to enhance Dragonair!
Xiaochun took a deep breath and swung her right hand down suddenly.
"Lightning speed!"
The Hakulong, enhanced by Reverse Scale, suddenly disappeared into the air.
The sheer explosive force tore a gap in the air, and at that moment, no one could catch a glimpse of Hakron's form.
The next instant, she appeared in front of Gardevoir, but Gardevoir's eyes remained calm, as if she was not surprised at all by the other's appearance.
"Steel Tail!" Xiaochun's next command rang out at that moment.
The dragon's tail was held high, and a cold arc of silvery-white metallic luster condensed at the tip of the tail.
Dragon-type moves have no effect on Fairy-type Gardevoir, and Tsubaki knew this from the beginning.
Her tactics were clear—use Outrage to push Dragonair's physical abilities to the limit, then use Extreme Speed to shut down its evasive maneuvers, and finally use Steel-type Iron Tail to finish it off.
However, attacking in this way carries great risk. Using three skills at once, one of them could trigger a loss of reason and trigger the opponent's weakness.
If she cannot defeat her opponent in a short period of time, she is destined to lose this match.
But it doesn't matter, as long as this Iron Tail strike hits the opponent—
With the full power of a Champion's initial attack, combined with the amplification from Outrage, this strike, if it hits Gardevoir, would surely cause severe damage to Gardevoir's weak defense!
Irontail slashed through the air with a piercing shriek as it slammed down on Gardevoir's slender body.
Very well, she had no time to defend herself.
Just as Xiaochun was thinking this, Gardevoir raised her slender arm, and her willow-leaf-like hand grabbed the silver-white arc of light that was carrying an aura of destruction!
"Bang!"
Iron Tail slammed solidly into Gardevoir's palm.
The shockwave spread wildly outward from the point of impact, blasting debris into the air and causing cracks in the ground to extend in all directions like a spider web.
The ground beneath Gardevoir's feet suddenly collapsed, creating a circular crater. Broken rocks bounced up and fell back down, and dust billowed into the sky.
However, Gardevoir remained completely still.
That slender arm, seemingly so fragile it could snap at any moment, steadily caught the iron tail that Hakuryu was unleashing with all its might.
Even her body wasn't shaken in the slightest; only her skirt fluttered in the wind from the spreading shockwave.
A look of shock flashed across Hakron's crimson eyes. How could this be?!
Xiao Chun's breath hitched.
One hand—just one hand—and he withstood the triple attack of Reverse Scale, Divine Speed, and Iron Tail?!
This doesn't make sense!
Gardevoir should be a Pokémon that focuses on special attacks, and it should be very weak in physical attacks and physical defense!
Even if the opponent is a Champion Intermediate, it is impossible to withstand a combination of multiple moves from Dragonite with one hand without using any moves!
Not only Tsubaki, but even Wataru and Cynthia's pupils constricted as they watched this scene.
The main thing is that this scene is really too shocking. Gardevoir's delicate body actually took such a terrifying attack with its bare hands.
Even though the ground around Gardevoir collapsed, she remained completely still.
How exactly did Ash train Gardevoir? Was he a violent queen?
On the field, Gardevoir tilted its head slightly, looking at the nearby Hakkaron. Its beautiful orange eyes were calm, as if it was not surprised by the result at all.
"Gardedor, Moon Power!"
The instant Xiaozhi spoke, she raised her other hand, and in her palm, a pale pink orb of light quietly appeared.
Cohesion.
The distance was so close that Hakron could even see every ripple of energy flowing across the surface of the light sphere.
Dragonair's pupils contracted sharply; if it were hit by a Fairy-type move at this distance, it would be extremely dangerous.
She hurriedly tried to pull away, but at that moment, Gardevoir tightened its grip on her tail, pinning it firmly in place, preventing her from escaping!
The exaggerated force was like a tail being caught between two mountains, making it impossible to break free.
Before Xiaochun's shout had even faded, Gardevoir pushed the pink Energy Ball into Xiaochun's chest, and it exploded violently!
The explosion was at point-blank range, leaving no room for dodging or defense.
The light of the moon's power burst forth in the center of the arena, engulfing the entire Hakkar.
A pink beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire dojo.
The spreading shockwave was blocked by the surrounding barriers, obscuring everyone's vision.
The pillar of light from the explosion lasted for nearly ten seconds. Then, a blue figure flew out of the light, gliding through the air like a kite with a broken string, before crashing heavily to the edge of the field.
Hakron lay on the shattered ground, its crimson reverse scale glow completely dissipated.
Her eyes were closed, and her tail drooped limply among the rubble, rendering her unable to fight.
Needless to say, Hakuryu has lost its ability to fight.
On the other side, Gardevoir gracefully lowered her arms and gently patted the hem of her skirt, dispersing the dust clinging to it.
She didn't seem to be there to fight, but rather to perform.
This was a solo performance exclusively for Gardevoir, a performance that left everyone who was unaware of what was going on speechless with astonishment.
I've seen Champion-level Pokémon like Cynthia, Lance, and Tsubaki before.
However, this was the first time they had ever seen such an abnormally powerful intermediate champion.
When did Gardevoir's physical strength become so exaggerated?
Although Hakron is only a beginner champion, she used Reverse Scale!
When in Outrage mode, Dragonair's strength is amplified. Even if it's not as strong as a Champion-level mid-level Dragonair, it's still not something that a delicate Gardevoir could hold down with one hand!
It would be better to get a power-type Champion-level Pokémon instead!
Xiaochun remained silent for a long time before finally taking out the Dragonair's Poké Ball with trembling hands and putting the Dragonair away.
"Ash, you win."
Throughout the entire process, Xiaochun never raised her face, afraid that if she did, Xiaozhi would see her flushed face.
Because she remembered her boastful words before the battle—
"Aren't you going to use that move?"
I gave you a chance, Ash. If the battle ends instantly, don't blame me.
Thinking of those words, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
This boomerang came way too fast; in less than three minutes, Hakron was rendered unable to fight.
The battle did end instantly, but it wasn't her who finished off her; it was Ash who finished her off!
Ash's Gardevoir is worlds apart in strength from the Pokémon he previously sent out.
No wonder Ash doesn't use those power-boosting moves; it's not arrogance or pride, but simply that he doesn't need them.
"Uh... Miss Tsubaki, are you alright?" For the first time, Ash wasn't happy about winning the battle, but rather felt...
Did I go a little too far?
Defeating the opponent's ace Pokémon in one move seems a bit disrespectful.
Moreover, this was happening in front of Mr. Awa and Ms. Cynthia, which undoubtedly made Tsubaki even more embarrassed.
I should have used Aura to tell Gardevoir to hold back and fight a few more rounds.
Xiao Zhi thought to himself with a slight sense of annoyance.
