The Gap in Absolute Power, Diantha: The Sun God Can't Be Weak to Fire, Right? / Diantha's Defeat, Lillie Is About to Reach the Elite Four Level

In fact, with Lillie's character, she shouldn't be so Passione about Pokémon battles. If possible, she would rather want her Pokémon to live a relaxed and happy life.

However, to rescue Mr. An Xiu from his mother, he must have enough strength, so every opportunity to fight Pokémon with a powerful trainer is precious.

Therefore, facing Diantha's active invitation, Lillie had no intention of rejecting it.

Seeing this, everyone present stopped talking and stepped away to make way for the two of them to fight.

However, during the process of retreating, An Xiu's expression looked a little strange.

To be honest, Diantha's current act of actively inviting Lillie to fight can be regarded as an unexpected gain for An Xiu. In his original expectation, only Lusamine would take action.

Of course, just this is not enough to make An Xiu's expression change significantly. The key is that one of the two sides fighting is Diantha.

As one of the strong contenders for the weakest championship in An Xiu's previous life, Diantha had been humiliated countless times in An Xiu's previous life.

Let Diantha fight against the current Lillie? That can only be said to be a very daring thought.

Thinking about the scene in XY when Diantha was fighting against Kalos that Ash almost overturned, An Xiu was a little afraid to think about what would happen next.

"The battle rules are 6V6. Both sides send out Pokémon at the same time. If all six Pokémon on one side lose their combat capabilities, the battle will be deemed a failure. Is there any problem?"

Diantha, who was at one end of the battle field, simply read out the rules, and then confirmed it to Lillie.

"No problem.

Hearing this, Lillie shook his head.

Seeing this, Diantha immediately took out a Poké Ball.

"Since we are opponents, we should give each other enough respect. Don't blame me for not letting go."

In order to test out the specific strength of Lillie as quickly as possible, the starting Pokémon of Diantha is currently his ace Gardevoir.

When Lillie saw this, he also took out a Poké Ball, and then threw it out without hesitation.

"Come on beautifully, Gardevoir!"

"Come on, Solgaleo!"

Diantha:???

Chapter 588: The gap in absolute power, Diantha: It's impossible for the Sun God to be weak to fire, right?

On the spacious battle field, as Poké Ball opened, Solgaleo's majestic figure like a lion slowly appeared, and its powerful momentum swept towards Gardevoir and Diantha in front without reservation.

Under tremendous pressure at this moment, Diantha only had one thought echoing in his mind.

Is this right? Is this wrong?

Even if the previous Chairman Lusamine could send out a legendary Pokémon called Ultra Necrozma, why could Lillie, the daughter of Chairman Lusamine, be able to send out an unknown Pokémon that even she, the Kalos champion, felt stressed out and had never seen before?

"This, this is... Solgaleo in the legend of Alola Region, who is called the beast that eats the sun?!!"

The screams of Professor Kukui came from the spectator seats again. This was the second time today that he had seriously lost his composure.

But this is not incomprehensible. Although Professor Kukui's main research direction is about Pokémon's moves, no Pokémon Doctor can calm down after seeing two top legendary Pokémon in its own region in one day, even if they are not professionally qualified.

Not to mention, the top legendary Pokémon seen twice in a row were still in a state of being subdued.

However, the scream of Professor Kukui now also answered some questions in disguise for Diantha on the battlefield.

"Solgaleo... The beast that eats the sun?"

Although not much information was revealed from Professor Kukui's scream, it did successfully let Diantha know the identity of the battle Pokémon in front of him.

"Another Legendary Pokémon... and judging by its momentum, is it the same as Ultra Necrozma, the Ultra Necrozma that Chairman Lusamine had before?"

There was already some intention to quit in the heart, but surrendering without a fight would lose the status of the champion, so after struggling for a moment, Diantha planned to let his ace Gardevoir attack first to test it out.

As a result, before Diantha could command his Gardevoir to attack, Lillie on the other side had no intention of being modest. Not only did he send out Solgaleo, he even had no intention of letting Diantha take the lead. Instead, he directly commanded Solgaleo to launch the attack.

After all, the battle had already begun the moment the Pokémon from both sides appeared on the field. In order to become stronger than his mother, Lillie, who only had a desire for victory in his eyes, was taking this battle more seriously than ever before.

"Solgaleo, use the iron head!"

"Roar!!!"

On the battle field, the rich steel energy gathered on the head of Solgaleo, and then directly hit Gardevoir on the opposite side of the field.

"No, Gardevoir, use Protect!"

Realizing that he had been careless, Diantha's eyes widened instantly, and he quickly directed Gardevoir to defend.

Shana!"

A barrier of Formless appeared around Gardevoir, firmly protecting Gardevoir's body within it.

And at the moment when the barrier brought by Protect was formed, the figure of Solgaleo had already rushed in front of Gardevoir.

Boom!!!

A violent collision was heard. Under Diantha's shocked gaze, the barrier in front of Gardevoir suddenly had numerous cracks clearly visible to the naked eye, and then shattered in a burst of overwhelming wails.

Reality is not a game after all. Although in the Pokémon game settings, Protect has a powerful effect that can resist all attacks in one round, but in reality, this powerful defensive ability is calculated based on the strength gap between the attacking and defensive sides Elf.

Otherwise, would it be possible for a first-level Caterpie to use Protect in real life to defend against Arceus's Judgment without any damage?

Therefore, although Protect in reality is also very effective as a defensive move, it can be called an absolute defense when the Pokémon are at the same level or when the strength of the two Pokémon fighting is about the same. However, once the strength of the Pokémon fighting is too different, Protect will be ineffective.

At the moment, Diantha's ace Gardevoir has a panel level of level 76 in the eyes of An Xiu, and the [Iron Head] move has a power of up to 80 in the game, with the bonus of the steel type skills, plus Solgaleo's own strong strength.

Under the superposition of three factors, even though Diantha's trump card Gardevoir had used Protect, it still could not completely resist the attack of Solgaleo.

"Shauna!"

Under the scream of Diantha's ace Gardevoir, Solgaleo's figure directly knocked him away after breaking through the barrier of Protect.

Fortunately, although it failed to defend against Solgaleo's attack, the power of the iron head has been greatly weakened. Otherwise, with the strength of the full-level Solgaleo and the double damage of the steel-type skills, this single blow would have been enough to make Diantha's ace Gardevoir completely lose its fighting ability.

"Gardevoir, cheer up and use mental strength!"

Just listen to Diantha standing behind shouting.

Hearing this, he was hit by the iron head and flew out. After landing, he barely managed to stand up and came to Gardevoir. He struggled to mobilize his own strength. Formless's telepathy instantly enveloped Solgaleo from all directions.

However, facing the invasion of telepathy from Diantha's trump card Gardevoir, Solgaleo just moved his body at will and broke through the surrounding telepathy with an extremely arrogant attitude.

"No way, in that case, use True Magic to shine!"

Seeing that super-type moves had little effect on Solgaleo, Diantha could only continue to try fairy-type moves.

True Magic, which is composed of strong light, shines and bombards Solgaleo's body, but the result is still no pain or itching.

After all, Solgaleo, whose attributes are super power + steel, is very good in terms of resistance. Among the total eighteen attributes, more than half of them are immune or resisted by Solgaleo.

Among them, the fairy-type attacks were twice resisted by Solgaleo, and the super-type attacks were four times resisted by Solgaleo.

However, due to Professor Kukui's previous exclamation, saying the name of Solgaleo, the sun-devouring beast, Diantha immediately gave up using fire attribute moves in the battle, so that for a while, he couldn't figure out which attribute move was better to use to attack Solgaleo.

And Lillie obviously has no intention of letting Diantha continue to try.

""Solgaleo, use Sunsteel Strike!"

"Roar!!!"

Countless powerful steel energy gathered together, and the moment Lillie finished speaking, Solgaleo on the battlefield turned into a white light and rushed out, slamming into Gardevoir's weak body at a speed that was almost impossible to react.

Chapter 589: The defeat of Diantha, Lillie who is about to reach the king level

Boom boom!!!

The powerful power of the exclusive moves combined with Solgaleo's own strength, Diantha's ace Gardevoir didn't even say a word after being hit, and his body flew directly out of the battle field and hit the ground hard.

Along with a violent aftermath and tremors, a strong wind blew the bodies of everyone present. When Gardevoir's figure reappeared in front of everyone, he already looked like he had fallen asleep and completely lost his ability to fight.

"Gulu..."

Looking at their unconscious ace Gardevoir, Diantha swallowed hard and took back his Pokémon.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her heart.

Hey - can we reconcile?

Through the absolute pressure and performance shown by Lillie's Solgaleo in the battle with its own Gardevoir, Diantha has confirmed that the Pokémon named Solgaleo sent by Lillie in front of him is indeed another top legendary Pokémon.

In terms of strength, it may be a little worse than the Pokémon known as Ultra Necrozma, the leader of Lusamine, but it will definitely not be too different.

Under such circumstances, as a normal person, how could Diantha think about continuing to fight?

Isn't it because Lance failed tragically enough?

However, just when Diantha was thinking about how to stop the battle, the spectators at the side suddenly remembered a voice.

"Diantha Champion, are you planning to admit defeat? As the champion of an entire region, it would be unbecoming of a champion to surrender so easily when faced with a strong opponent, right?"

I saw An Xiu standing next to Lusamine in the spectator seats and said just right.

Hearing this, Lance, who had just recovered from the shock caused by Solgaleo's strength, also nodded in agreement.

"I think that as a qualified trainer, you should have the courage to challenge. Even if you face a strong enemy that you cannot defeat, you should not give up so easily."

"Besides, this is just a competition. If you don't have the courage to fight to the end in this situation, how can you bear the title of champion and the trust of the people?"

As An Xiu and Lance spoke one after another, on the battlefield at this moment, Diantha, who had originally planned to stop the battle, felt as if she was being held up. The corners of her mouth were twitching stiffly. She could not continue the fight even if she wanted to.

If she had known this would be the case, she shouldn't have said anything about trying Lillie's strength before. Now it's better. What originally had nothing to do with her, now has to drag herself and her main partners through a torture.

It's just that my own torture is more psychological, while the torture of my main Pokémon is physical.

"Come on, Aurorus!"

Giving up the idea of stopping the battle, Diantha bit the bullet and threw out his second Poké Ball.

With a flash of light, Aurorus's figure appeared on the battlefield. He first glanced at Solgaleo in front of him, then looked back at his trainer.

Aurorus: Do I also want to fight this guy who just killed Gardevoir in seconds?

Diantha: Yes.

""Solgaleo, use Sunsteel Strike!"

Lillie's side was still the same as before the battle, with no intention of relaxing at all. After Diantha sent out the Pokémon, he immediately commanded Solgaleo to attack.

""Aurorus, use Protect!"

After Gardevoir's defeat just now, Diantha, who knew how fast this move was, immediately commanded his Pokémon to defend.

However, just like the previous scene was reproduced, the Formless barrier that symbolized Protect was broken again in front of Solgaleo. As for Aurorus's performance, it was even worse than the previous Gardevoir.

This is not only because Aurorus, who is only level 74, is weaker than Gardevoir, and Sunsteel Strike is more powerful than Iron Head, but also because Aurorus, who has rock + ice attributes, is four times restrained by the steel system.

Naturally, not only Protect's barrier, but also Aurorus itself was easily shattered by Solgaleo's attack.

"Come back, Aurorus."

Looking at Aurorus who screamed in front of him and was knocked away, losing his combat ability on the spot, Diantha reluctantly took it back, and then continued to send out his next Pokémon.

There was not even a moment to mourn the fall of Gardevoir and Aurorus. The next ones to arrive at the battle site were Diantha and Gourgeist!

With excellent defense and interference capabilities, Diantha originally expected Gourgeist to persist for a while longer.

The result is obvious. In the face of the fully-leveled Solgaleo, just relying on a slightly stronger defensive ability is not enough to last for long.

Soon, Gourgeist was also defeated, and Diantha sent out Goodra, Tyrantrum and Hawlucha one after another. Without exception, they all fell in front of Solgaleo.

Finally, as Hawlucha was defeated by Solgaleo, this seemingly short, but actually extremely long battle for Diantha finally ended.

"The winner of this battle is Miss Lillie!"

As Professor Kukui announced the results of the battle, Diantha took back Elf and then hurried to the Pokémon Center, temporarily leaving the sad place in front of them.

Seeing this, Lance, who also remembered that his main Pokémon needed treatment, also said hello to An Xiu and the others before leaving. At the same time, he informed Lusamine and Professor Kukui that the evaluators dispatched by the alliance headquarters would arrive in the near future.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this battle shouldn't directly break Diantha's heart, right?"

After Lance and Diantha temporarily left, including Professor Kukui, who also returned to his residence to prepare for the arrival of subsequent inspection personnel, An Xiu, who had no outsiders at the scene, touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

Also defeated at the hands of the Legendary Pokémon, Lance's situation was much better than that of Diantha. This was not only because the Lusamine he was fighting against was an adult himself, but also because Lance's mentality was also better.

However, although they are both champions, Diantha is worse than Lance in terms of both strength and mentality, but he also does not have a fragile character. Although he lost the battle with Lillie just now, it was a bit miserable, but I don't think he will have any mental problems because of it.

Compared to Diantha who was hurriedly leaving as if he was running away, Lillie was obviously very satisfied and happy with the battle just now.

Not only because he won the victory, but also because the other main Pokémon in his team also became a lot stronger after the battle.

Among them, the highest level Alolan Ninetales has even reached level 59, and the rest of the main players such as Polteageist, Ribombee, Clefairy, Primarina have also reached level 57 or above.
