"Huh? Why doesn't Xiaozhi use Pikachu? It seems that Pikachu would be more suitable than Milotic?" Gongsun Yan asked puzzledly.
"Pickup?"
"Huh?!" After hearing the familiar voice, Gongsun Yan was immediately startled and looked at Xiaogang beside him in shock. He found that Pikachu was lying on Xiaogang's knees at this time, looking at Gongsun Yan with confusion, as if wondering why Gongsun Yan called him.
"Why is Pikachu here? In such an important match, Xiaozhi didn't bring Pikachu?" Gongsun Yan said in shock. In a 6v6 match, shouldn't Xiaozhi send five Pikachus first and then Pikachu? Why did Xiaozhi change his tactics?
"Oh, you're talking about this. Xiaozhi said that he would let Pikachu take a rest today and leave the battle to other companions." Xiaogang said casually.
"Hiss, that's quite interesting." Gongsun Yan touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
While everyone was talking, Metagross and Milotic on the field had already exchanged several moves. Their dragon tails and metal claws collided several times, and they were always evenly matched. However, as time went on, Milotic gradually showed signs of fatigue.
Metagross has four brains and computing power more powerful than a supercomputer. He intentionally controlled the output of power as soon as the two sides collided, just enough to control it so that Milotic had to use all his strength while he could hide some of his power.
When Milotic began to fall behind Metagross, Tetsuya and Metagross, who had been waiting for a long time, finally revealed their hidden fangs and dealt a fatal blow to Milotic.
"Metallica, Comet Punch!" Tetsuya shouted. The Metagross, which had been prepared for a long time, instantly mobilized all its strength, gathered it on its claws, and smashed towards Milotic.
"Mienshao, mysterious guardian!" Xiaozhi shouted anxiously.
Milotic also felt that the situation was not good, so it immediately stopped waving its tail and instead created a protective shield with strange colors in an attempt to resist the attack of Metagross.
However, it was too naive to think that the Mystical Guardian that was hastily condensed could block the attack of Metagross. And although the Mystical Guardian had a certain protective ability, it was not a move specifically used for defense after all. Under the heavy Comet Fist of Metagross, it was like a fragile piece of white paper and was shattered to pieces.
"S!" Just when Milotic was about to be hit, he decisively gave up resistance and took the initiative to send his body up, just to meet the eyes of Metagross. Then a blue light flashed and hypnosis was activated.
"Boom!" A loud roar was heard, and Milotic slowly slid down the wall, with circles in its eyes, while Metagross stood there. If you observe closely, you can find that Metagross has fallen into a sleeping state.
Hypnosis, successful.
Chapter 432: Lizard King Defeats Metagross
"Xiaozhi was a little anxious in this round. He actually fought in close combat without the blessing of Water Tail, and he was fighting against the steel-type Metagross. He was still too reckless." Gongsun Yan shook his head slightly, but did not feel surprised. This was like Xiaozhi.
"Lizard King, it's up to you!" Xiaozhi took back Milotic. Now he and Tetsuya were on the same starting line again, so he chose to release the generals from the Hoenn region.
"Lizard King, mega evolution!" After Lizard King came on the stage, Xiaozhi directly placed his hand on his wrist. The Key Stone on it instantly emitted a bright light, and the Mega Stone on Lizard King also emitted the same light.
Speaking of which, this Lizard King's mega stone was temporarily lent to Xiaozhi by Gongsun Yan. However, although it was called a temporary loan, Gongsun Yan actually intended to give it directly to Xiaozhi. However, Xiaozhi refused to accept it, so Gongsun Yan had no choice but to say that he was lending it to him temporarily.
However, Gongsun Yan had already made plans. If Xiaozhi won the championship of the Caiyou Conference, then this mega stone would be given to Xiaozhi as a championship gift; if he won the championship in the end, then it would be regarded as a gift for himself to win the championship, to share in their good luck.
The Lizard King that appeared in front of everyone again had changed a lot. His tail had become longer, but there was still a huge grass leaf at the end of the tail. However, the sharp red grass leaf at the end showed that this tail was not just a decoration.
At this time, Metagross has not yet emerged from its sleeping state. This hypnosis is the last attempt of Milotic. Even though Metagross is a quasi-god and a psychic-type Pokémon, it cannot easily break free.
"Lizard King, attack the vital points secretly!" Xiaozhi shouted to the Lizard King.
"Cha!" Although it was in a rocky area, not the forest it was most accustomed to, the Lizard King's speed was not affected at all. With just a slight kick of the ground, the Lizard King jumped in front of the Metagross. The two sharp blades on its right hand were covered with dark evil energy, and it chopped down at the Metagross' face.
"Crack!" As the Lizard King attacked, a crack suddenly appeared on Metagross' face. This showed how strong the Lizard King's attack power was. Breaking stones and splitting rocks was absolutely a piece of cake for him. Even Metagross's powerful defense could not withstand it.
"Kang Jin!" The Metagross was obviously hurt by this move and woke up directly from its sleeping state. He looked at the Lizard King in front of him and roared. As a ruthless predator, he wanted to tear the opponent to pieces.
"Metalloquin, Comet Fist!" Tetsuya shouted.
"Lizard King, dodge and use Leaf Slash!" Xiaozhi also shouted.
In extreme anger, Metagross condensed comet fists on all four arms and hit the Lizard King. The four arms almost completely blocked the Lizard King's surroundings. No matter which direction the Lizard King went, he would face a comet fist.
But would the Lizard King surrender like this? Obviously, it was impossible. The Lizard King did not retreat but advanced. The blades on both sides of his arms became longer and sharper under the blessing of grass energy. Compared with evil energy, grass energy was more suitable for the Lizard King.
Seeing the Lizard King coming towards him, Metagross raised all four arms and attacked the Lizard King at the same fast speed. A collision was imminent.
However, Metagross apparently forgot one thing. The Lizard King was ordered to dodge first and then counterattack. And once he used his four arms to attack, his body would inevitably fall backwards, and his eyes would no longer be able to lock onto the Lizard King.
Although Metagross has his own considerations, that is, in addition to his eyes, he can also rely on his superpowers to lock onto his opponents, but the speed of the Lizard King cannot be matched by just superpowers!
The Lizard King suddenly stopped while galloping, jumped on the spot, and slashed towards the Metagross with the blade on his arm.
"Metalloquin, the Lizard King is in mid-air, use Comet Fist to block it!" Zheya reminded loudly.
Thanks to the bond between the two sides, Metagross immediately swung the two metal arms in front of it upwards, and used its superpowers and eyes to search for the position of the Lizard King. It immediately locked onto the Lizard King in mid-air and adjusted the direction of the attack to ensure that it could hit the Lizard King.
And this fell right into the Lizard King's trap. At that moment, the Lizard King lacked a fulcrum in the air, and Metagross's action could be said to be a timely help, although it was not a good thing for Metagross itself.
"Cha!" The Lizard King did a front flip in mid-air, and used his tail, which had become more powerful after mega evolution, to slap Metagross' arm hard, which immediately interrupted Metagross's attack and injected a new force into his exhausted body, allowing the Lizard King to reach right above Metagross.
Because Metagross used too much force, he could only watch as the Lizard King came right above him. The green figure gradually filled his entire field of vision, and the blades seemed to be able to pierce his eyes with just one look.
Don't forget, according to the mirror principle, since Metagross can see the Lizard King directly, it means that the scars left by the Lizard King on him before are also within the Lizard King's sight range, and naturally within the Lizard King's attack range.
"Crack."
This attack was not as powerful as the previous sneak attack, but the damage it caused was no less severe. Even though Metagross had the advantage of halving the damage against Grass-type enemies, the Lizard King and Metagross crossed paths and stood still.
"Cha!" The Lizard King turned his back to the Giant Steel, took out a branch from somewhere, and put it in his mouth, with the aura of a peerless swordsman.
"Kangjin~" Metagross turned around reluctantly and glanced at the Lizard King, as if he wanted to remember this figure in his heart. Then he let out a wail and fell to the ground. The X-shaped mark on his face also made a slight cracking sound, and an X-shaped crack gradually spread.
"What?! The Lizard King actually cut a mark on the metal plate on Metagross' face. You know, this is the strongest part of Metagross!" the commentator shouted in disbelief.
"Lizard King is indeed worthy of being the 'God Slayer' that can kill Darkrai in one move." Gongsun Yan looked at the situation on the field and couldn't help but praise him. Even among the Pokémon he had, few could do the same.
Chapter 433: The Victory of Intelligence
"Huh~, come back, Metagross!" Zheye took a deep breath and took Metagross back.
"Meow Meow, I'll leave it to you." Zhe looked at Meow Meow, who had been standing beside him since the beginning of the second half, and said with a smile.
"Meow!!!" As Zheya's voice rang out, Meow Meow, who had been standing beside him with his arms crossed, reached out and pulled the cowboy hat on his head, and walked towards the competition field.
Meowth was wearing long boots that were obviously one size too big, a red scarf around his neck, and a cowboy hat with a fancy feather sticking up on the brim...Just talking about appearance, Gongsun Yan felt very cool, but this outfit was not suitable for him and his Pokémon, so he could only watch other people's Pokémon show off.
After Meowth walked onto the battlefield, he showed his cat claws with an aggressive look and hooked his finger at Xiaozhi and Lizardking provocatively.
"Hiss~, why do I suddenly feel that the one who has the upper hand is not Satoshi, but Tetsuya? Should I say that he is worthy of being Meowth?" Gongsun Yan touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
But no matter what Gongsun Yan thought, the battle on the field would not change because of his thoughts. After the referee announced the start of the battle, the two gave orders immediately.
"Lizard King, Blade Leaf Slash!"
The Lizard King lowered his body slightly, gathering strength in his legs, and the grass leaves on his arms gradually lengthened. The battle was about to begin.
"Meow, use high-five surprise attack!"
Meow Meow, who was wearing boots, was not affected by the Lizard King at all. He disappeared in an instant, appeared in front of the Lizard King, and slapped the Lizard King on the head.
"Snapped!"
A crisp slapping sound was heard, and the entire venue seemed to be quiet. The Blade Leaf Slash that the Lizardman had just condensed also dissipated, and the entire Pokémon stood still on the field.
"A slap?! Zhe really doesn't show any mercy at all." Gongsun Yan sucked his teeth and shook his head.
The high-five surprise attack move is considered a very outstanding move in the game. Although the damage is not very high, it can interrupt the opponent's moves and give yourself a little advantage in blood volume. Don't underestimate this little advantage in blood volume. Many times, victory or defeat is determined by this little advantage in blood volume.
Gongsun Yan was a hardcore combatant in his previous life, so he naturally loved this move. He had originally planned to use this move in Pokémon battles, but after seeing the effect of this move, he fell silent.
It's not that this move is not powerful. This kind of almost mandatory interruption move is never too little, and low damage is not a problem. It's just that the taunting effect is a bit too outstanding. It's like you are walking on the street, and suddenly someone comes up to you, raises his hand and slaps you. Anyone would be stunned.
But what happened after that? The relationship between the two sides almost ended just like that, and they went from hostility to mortal enemies. I'm afraid they will never stop fighting from now on.
Therefore, even if Gongsun Yan had equipped his Pokémon with this move, he would not choose to use it. He came here to enjoy the Pokémon battle and win a championship, not to make enemies. If he provokes someone in a fight, he might not even be able to leave the venue.
Perhaps this is the difference between Gongsun Yan and those pure battlers. Although he was a master-level goalkeeper in his previous life, he still has the so-called feelings. He will never forget why he fell in love with Pokémon. It is not just for victory, but also for the bonds in the anime.
Although Zheya also likes Pokémon very much, his bottom line is more flexible. Most of the time he has no ill intentions and just chooses the option that is most advantageous for the battle situation. Just like this high-five surprise attack, Gongsun Yan will not use it, but he has no scruples about it.
"Cha!!!" After being slapped by Meowth, the entire Pokémon Lizard King became furious. Gongsun Yan even felt that he could see black air emanating from the Lizard King's body.
"Meow, split it!" Although Zheye also felt that something was wrong with the Lizard King's condition, he did not think much about it and continued to give orders.
"Lizard King, Leaf Slash!" Xiaozhi shouted.
"Meow meow!"
Miaomiao's sharp claws had just stretched out from his palms when he saw the Lizard King's blade slashing down towards his head. This attack was so powerful that it could split Mount Huashan. Miaomiao knew he had no time to dodge, so he could only raise his hands in a hurry, trying to use his sharp claws to block the Lizard King's blade.
"Wow~!"
Meow Meow's boots scratched the ground with a scratch more than ten meters long. Although Meow Meow resisted in time, he was at a huge disadvantage in strength. He could be said to be taken away by the Lizard King.
And this is only the first Blade Leaf Slash of the Lizard King. Don't forget, when the Lizard King condenses the Blade Leaf Slash, he will condense two Blade Leaf Slashes. After the one in the right hand is finished, the one in the left hand is still there!
"Meow!!!"
Facing the Lizard King's Blade Leaf Slash, Meow Meow suddenly roared loudly and released a large amount of lightning from his body, as if he wanted to use this 100,000 volts that even the releaser did not spare to force back the Lizard King.
However, the lack of intelligence put Meowth in an absolute disadvantage, which could be said to be self-defeating. Perhaps it was because the mega evolution was announced too recently, and the corresponding research data had not been shared in the Pokémon encyclopedias of various trainers in time, so Meowth did not know that the characteristic of Mega Lizardking was a lightning rod.
"Cha!" The Lizard King completely ignored the lightning on Meowth. If it were any other Pokémon, as long as it was not a ground-type Pokémon, it would have to temporarily avoid the attack. However, for the Lizard King, it couldn't even block it, and a blade just chopped on Meowth!
"Meow meow!" Zheya shouted worriedly.
After being knocked away by the Lizard King, Meow Meow rolled on the ground for several times and finally lost his inertia. But just when Meow Meow wanted to stand up, the wounds on his body caused by the Lizard King began to bleed, and he was in so much pain that he could hardly stand up.
Although the Lizard King was very angry at Meowth's "slap in the face", he was also careful in his actions. This blade leaf slash would definitely not leave any serious sequelae on Meowth's body. Apart from suffering some physical pain, at most a few bones would be broken. As long as he recuperates for a period of time, he will be able to recover soon thanks to the Pokémon's physical fitness.
"Cha." The Lizard King looked at Meow Meow who had struggled to stand up in front of him, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but the battle was not over yet, so he rushed towards Meow Meow without hesitation, wanting to kill him while he was sick.
Chapter 434: Respect for the Strong Meow Meow
"Lizard King, Blade Leaf Slash!"
As the Lizard King appeared in front of Meowth, Xiaozhi gave loud orders. The Lizard King had already accumulated strength, and the grass leaves on his arms suddenly turned into knife blades.
"Although you have tried very hard, I also have reasons why I cannot lose." The Lizard King looked at Meow Meow who was suffering from pain in front of him, comforted him silently in his heart, and then chopped down at the opponent fiercely.
"Meow, act like a spoiled child!"
"Meow~"
Suddenly, Meow Meow retracted all his claws, looked at the Lizard King in front of him pitifully, and called out weakly, seeming to be very afraid of the Lizard King.
"just?"
The Lizard King was very determined, and naturally would not be disturbed by this cute trick, but Meow Meow was too familiar, and could be said to be the epitome of aloofness, but now he was acting like a spoiled child, which resulted in the Lizard King not being affected by the spoiled childishness. Instead, he simply felt that Meow Meow in front of him was too abnormal.
But this was enough. As the Lizard King paused, Meow Meow managed to roll over and avoided the Lizard King's blade slash. Even invisibly, the Lizard King's attack was weakened a little.
"Take advantage of this moment and catch them like crazy!" Zheya shouted loudly.
"Meow!!!"
The seriously injured Meowth was already very close to the Lizard King, and this roll couldn't create much distance, so Zhe chose to attack head-on. In addition, Meowth was a Pokémon with extremely strong explosive power, so it appeared in front of the Lizard King in an instant, and grabbed the Lizard King with its sharp cat claws at a high frequency.
"Lizard King, sword dance!" Xiaozhi shouted loudly when he saw this.
"just!"
After hearing Xiaozhi's instructions, the Lizard King directly waved his arms, using the grass leaves on his arms as swords, dancing on the spot, and using sword dance moves to block all of Meowth's crazy scratches.
Fortunately, Meow Meow was slowed down by the wounds on his body, otherwise the Lizard King would not be able to block it so well and would have been hit a few times. After all, crazy scratching is a move known for its high number of attacks.
However, the Lizard King's current performance has become a huge mountain standing in front of Zheya and Meowth, pressing them to the point where they are both breathless. In addition, Meowth's current condition is very bad. Zheya already knows that his journey to the Caiyou Conference will come to an end.
Even if Meowth can defeat Lizardlord, what can he do? He is seriously injured and exhausted. How can he face Ash's next Pokémon? They don't even know what that Pokémon is. Zhe also doesn't think that Ash's last Pokémon will be a Magikarp.
"Damn it!" Zhe clenched his fists silently, watching Meowth launch a futile attack on the Lizard King. He suddenly blamed himself. His Pokémon was in trouble, so didn't that show his incompetence as a trainer?
However, Zhe also looked up and watched the Lizard King fend off Meow Meow's attack as if he was strolling in the garden. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Is this really the end? Is he going to lose?
"Meow!!!"
Suddenly, Meow Meow, who was fighting with the Lizard King, roared. His voice was full of misery. Even the Lizard King was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Meow Meow wanted to do.
However, the Lizard King soon found out. After that roar, Meow Meow attacked the Lizard King again, and his speed was several times faster than before, even faster than when he was not injured. It was a miracle.
However, miracles also have a price, but some prices are not shown on the spot. Any gift from fate has a price tag on it, and the price that Miaomiao has to pay for his outburst is directly shown to everyone.
"Tick, tick!" Drops of blood fell on the rocks, and the originally gray rocks were gradually stained blood red.
"Meow, we..."
"Meow!!!"
Zhe looked at Meow Meow with heartache. He was only relying on this momentum to support himself. He wanted him to admit defeat and said that his health was more important. However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Meow Meow's hoarse roar.
Looking at the look in Meowth's eyes when he turned around and looked at him, Zhe seemed to see in a trance the scene when he and Meowth met, that warm afternoon, the quiet forest, the traveling trainer and the blood-stained Meowth.
It is this look, firm, stubborn, tenacious, unyielding, and with that imperceptible hint of grievance hidden deep in the eyes.
