The Power of Gigantamax Moves / The Surefire Way to Win

Lihua paid no heed and instructed, "As expected, continue the attack!"

Labrynth laughed and swung his axe-spear at her, Spiked Dragon Queen to continue dodging, as the opponent's field was still covered by that Sakuretsu Armor.

Just then, You Zhi said, "Counterattack."

Without hesitation, the Spiked Dragon Queen launched a counterattack, deflecting the axe spear with her left arm blade and unleashing a fiery blade with her right arm blade.

Seeing Lihua, Rika immediately guessed that You Zhi must have a defensive measure, but leaving the Sakuretsu Armor unused would be a waste. It would be perfect to use it as bait to lure him out, making it easier to use the next Spell Card to destroy it.

"Since you've chosen to attack, I don't need to say anything more, 'Sakuretsu Armor' activated!"

Labrynth's body surface immediately developed scattered armor plates.

As expected, You Zhi played his last Spell Card: "I activate 'Attack Invulnerability,' granting Spiked Dragon Queen resistance to destruction."

This grants the elf resistance, rather than nullifying Spell Card. Therefore, even if the hidden effect of Sakuretsu Armor is triggered, it still won't harm the Spiked Dragon Queen.

A masked girl, resembling a magician's assistant, appeared before the Spiked Dragon Queen. With a single outstretched hand, an invisible shield appeared, blocking the flying armor fragments and the impact of the explosion.

With no more worries, the Spiked Dragon Queen launched an unstoppable offensive. One of her blades deflected Labrynth's axe-spear and disrupted his defensive stance, while the other blade seized the opportunity to deliver a devastating blow.

Having suffered two instances of halving her health while injured, the Spiked Dragon Queen's health plummeted to a dangerous level, while simultaneously boosting her attack power to over 4000, completely overwhelming her opponent.

Seeing Lihua, Pear Blossom frowned. Her opponent had gained resistance to being destroyed by effects, effectively sealing off other destructive Spell Card. Now, it was up to Labrynth to make his move...

The Spiked Dragon Queen's attacks are both fast and fierce. Because her "Attack Invulnerability" effect only lasts for one turn, she must defeat her opponent within that time. Therefore, she adopts a strategy of completely abandoning defense and does not mind dying together with her opponent. After all, Labrynth is the opponent's last Pokémon, and once it is defeated, it means that the opposing trainer has lost.

With this understanding, the Spiked Dragon Queen had no worries and launched an exceptionally fierce attack, repeatedly injuring Labrynth and forcing him into a desperate situation, creating an opportunity for a decisive victory.

Without hesitation, the Spiked Dragon Queen crossed her twin blades in front of her chest, flames roaring and shooting upwards along her arm blades, forming a huge V-shape.

Lihua asked in surprise, "Is this V-create?"

V-create is a move that only legendary Pokémon can master, possessing a terrifying power of 180, even surpassing the exclusive moves of most Pokémon.

Logically speaking, a mere 6-star Spiked Dragon Queen shouldn't be able to learn it.

In fact, the Spiked Dragon Queen hadn't actually learned it. What she was using now was just the skill taught to her by You Zhi Simulator V-create. It didn't reach the original power, but it was still about 70-80% of the level.

She charged forward with all her might, and a huge V-shaped flame burst forth, scorching the air like two intertwined fire dragons.

Labrynth used "Hell Thrust" to fight back, but the gathered Dark-type energy was devoured by the flames and collapsed step by step. In the end, he could not stop it and was about to be cut in two.

"I activate 'Fiendish Chain,' rendering one of the elves' special abilities ineffective and unable to attack!"

At this moment, Lihua activated the Spell Card she had just created. Chains shot out and wrapped around the Spiked Dragon Queen.

At any other time, the Spiked Dragon Queen could have easily dodged it with her high-speed movement or cut the chains with her arm blades. But the timing of this Trap Card's activation was just too clever. In this critical moment, she had no chance to change her move and was immediately bound tightly by the Fiendish Chain, unable to move.

Because its ability was nullified, the Spiked Dragon Queen's attack power actually increased slightly, but it's meaningless if it can't attack.

"Goodbye, you hot-tempered hero. I look forward to your next challenge."

Labrynth did not miss the opportunity; his axe-spear thrust out with lightning speed.

The Spiked Dragon Queen managed to dodge, avoiding a fatal blow, only being stabbed in the shoulder. However, she immediately froze, sighed with considerable resentment, and her body dissipated into particles of spiritual energy.

The Spiked Dragon Queen's vitality was too low; even without hitting a vital spot, her health bar was still emptied.

Unlike humans, elves can disappear once their life force reaches zero, even if they have all four limbs and no injuries.

Looking at the retrieved You Zhi offered a rare word of comfort, "You've done enough by defeating one and pushing another to the brink of danger. Now, let your companions take over."

At this moment, the commentator promptly remarked, "A brilliant performance! Lihua has turned the tide in a very unfavorable situation, bringing the score to 1-2. However, the situation remains precarious for her. Will You Zhi send out a new Pokémon, or will she summon the previously used Demon Lizard Yihao, Yoshihiro? Let's wait and see."

Most people believe that You Zhi will summon a new Pokémon. After all, knowing that the opponent's last Pokémon is Labrynth, he can choose a Pokémon with a counter-type ability to deal with it. Summoning the Demon Lizard Yihao might give the opponent a chance to breathe. If he then creates a Spell Card to restore health, the situation will be hard to predict.

You Zhi initially thought the same thing, but then he remembered his purpose.

"There's no point in hiding it. The sooner you reveal it, the more attention you'll attract. Hmm... you're the better choice."

With a flash of light, the Giant Divergent Lizard Yihao reappeared on the field.

Lihua was slightly taken aback when she saw this. She had the same judgment, thinking that You Zhi would summon a targeted Pokémon, but he still chose the Giant Divergent Lizard Yihao, which was completely unexpected.

"What's the point of summoning this spirit now? If you're trying to go easy on me, I'll hold a grudge against you for life."

Not only does the Giant Divergent Lizard Yihao not have any special abilities, but its Fighting-type /Dark dual-type nature also makes it vulnerable to the Fairy-type /Dark type Labrynth in the lineage.

"On the contrary, I summoned it out of respect. Watch closely, what follows will be an evolution that will change the entire world of dueling."

You Zhi reached out and grasped his hand. Upon receiving the command, the Giant Divergent Lizard Yihao nodded vigorously. Then, it opened its arms, the dark energy subsided, and a holy light appeared on its body.

"Have endured countless tribulations to rediscover your original aspirations, and transform yourself through trials and tribulations! Xyz Evolution, Awakened Warrior Yihao!"

Chapter 292 Powerful Maxim Moves

"My God! The Demon Lizard Yihao is glowing with the light of evolution. Could the Giant Divergent Lizard Form continue to evolve?"

You Zhi wasn't wearing a megaphone, so the commentator didn't know what he was saying. Based on past experience and the situation on the field, the commentator assumed that Giant Divergent Lizard Yihao was about to evolve further.

"Dear viewers, the only known trainer who owns the Giant Divergent Lizard · Demon Lizard Yihao is You Zhi, who is currently on the field. This means that we are about to witness a completely new form of Pokémon, which may be making its first public appearance. Please don't blink!"

The commentator wasn't entirely wrong. When the light faded, the three phantoms overlapped, revealing an elf exuding a divine aura, surrounded by three Spirit Core, and radiating HERO qualities.

After evolving, the Demon Lizard Yihao changed from Fighting-type /Dark to Fighting-type / Fairy-type, reversing its lineage disadvantage.

Lihua naturally heard You Zhi's words clearly. Coupled with the fact that the several overlapping phantoms she had just witnessed were phenomena she had never seen before in Pokémon, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Xyz Evolution! A Pokémon form I've never seen before! Is this a new evolution method you've discovered?"

"How about it? Pretty cool, right?"

"That depends on its performance going forward."

"I will not let you down, Warrior Yihao, use Max Strike!"

Upon hearing about a skill she had never heard of before, Lihua hurriedly told Labrynth to be on high alert, only to see that the opponent didn't rush over at all, but simply stood in place with his arms outstretched and his chest out.

The next moment, snowflake-shaped cracks appeared on the ground beneath Labrynth's feet, and powerful energy surged underground. Neither she nor her trainer expected that the Demon Lizard Yihao would suddenly use a ranged skill. They hurriedly dodged, but it was too late.

"I unleash the Holy Javelin; when the opponent's Pokémon attacks, it restores HP equal to that Pokémon's attack power!"

Seeing that the elf had no time to dodge, Lihua hurriedly activated her healing Trap Card, and a javelin with angel wings at the tip appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, a dazzling beam of energy shot up from the crack and into the sky, engulfing half of Labrynth's body and severely injuring him. Fortunately, the Spell Card activated by Lihua replenished her life force in time, preventing her from exploding on the spot.

"Such a powerful attack! Is this your Pokémon's signature skill?"

"No, that's just a standard move in this state," You Zhi answered truthfully. "Next is the special move, Warrior Yihao using G-Max Critical Hit!"

Warrior Yihao lowered his stance, bracing himself for a charge. A powerful membrane of spiritual energy surged from his body, coalescing above his head and transforming into a gigantic fist, carrying billowing flames as it swooped down towards his opponent.

They just showed up like that!

Seeing the opponent's aggressive attack, Lihua didn't think her own Pokémon could withstand it, and hurriedly activated her last face-down Spell Card: "I activate 'Mirror Force - Mirror Force' to destroy all attacking Pokémon on the opponent's field!"

The giant fist was about to hit Labrynth, but it was blocked by a protective shield. At the same time, a series of counter-attack beams shot out from the surface of the shield.

Destruction Spell Card do not have coercive power. Under normal circumstances, when the Mirror Force negates the opponent's attack, it will launch a thunderous counterattack with a beam of light, catching the opponent off guard. Such Spell Card, which combines defense and offense, is among the top tier of B-level Spell Card.

However, the power of the Dynamax move was unexpected, strong and persistent. It did not disappear after being blocked by the shield, but continued to exert pressure. The huge fist kept hitting the shield, and even the reflected beam was suppressed.

Finally, with a loud bang, the enormous fist and the Mirror Force vanished simultaneously, and Labrynth was sent flying by the residual force.

The audience who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded and gasped. The elf actually used a skill to negate a B-level Spell Card. What a ferocious attack!

This wasn't over yet. You Zhi was determined to make a name for himself, so he naturally wouldn't stop there. He continued to issue the order to attack, "Don't stop! Use Max Rockfall!"

Warrior Yihao roared again, the earth rumbled, and sand piled up to form a tower. A stone wall tens of meters high stood there and collapsed towards the opponent, its huge area almost covering half of the competition field.

This attack was unstoppable. Lihua made a quick judgment, and since she wasn't going to give up, she hurriedly responded, "Labrynth Sterile activation, reclaim a Spirit-Accumulating Spell Card, I choose to reclaim 'Fiendish Chain'."

Judging from what just happened, destructive Spell Card are completely ineffective against the current Demon Lizard Yihao; it would be better to use restrictive spells instead.

As soon as she acquired the Fiendish Chain, Lihua forcibly activated it, consuming twice the amount of spiritual power.

Although judging from the battle just now, Demon Lizard Yihao in Xyz Form still doesn't have any special abilities and is not afraid of being nullified, if his attacks are blocked, he can buy more time.

Unfortunately, You Zhi won't make the same mistake.

"Don't even think about it! I activate 'Heavenly Might's Peerless Fist'! When there's a non-characteristic Spirit on my field, it can negate the activation of Spell Card or Spirits' characteristics."

Chains wrapped around the Warrior Yihao, attempting to replicate the process of dealing with the Spiked Dragon Queen. Unexpectedly, a warrior with two horns on his head suddenly appeared and punched out with unparalleled force, shattering all the chains.

With no obstacles in sight, Warrior Yihao successfully activated Max Rockfall.

The massive stone wall collapsed forward. Labrynth desperately used his Dazzling Gleam it, but apart from leaving impact marks, he could not damage the stone wall.

Boom!

When the stone wall crashed into the ground, the entire arena trembled, and all the spectators watched in astonishment, speechless.

A moment later, when the stone wall turned into a sandstorm and dissipated on its own, Labrynth was nowhere to be seen.

After a while, the referee, having regained his senses, hurriedly looked at Lihua and asked if there were any other ways to revive the spirits. After all, he didn't know the effects of all the Spell Card, and if one of them had the effect of reviving a spirit after being sent to the graveyard, making a premature judgment would only invite ridicule.

This is not unfounded worry; there have been many lessons learned from past examples.

"... I lost, what a cool fight."

Lihua Blossom sighed, then reached out and walked towards You Zhi.

Upon receiving a response from the parties involved, the referee immediately announced the result of the match.

However, at this moment, no one cared about the outcome of the match. After the initial shock, everyone started discussing You Zhi's Demon Lizard Yihao.

A completely different fighting style!

Such a powerful skill I've never seen before!

Trainers with even a little experience immediately realized that this was a completely new form of Pokémon, and their gazes toward You Zhi became intense, as if they wished they could transform into reporters and step forward to ask him questions.

"Could you tell me the principle behind this Xyz Evolution?"

During the handshake, even though Lihua knew it was somewhat offensive, she couldn't help but ask.

"Let's wait a bit longer. I'll publish what I know online later."

You Zhi answered as if he had prepared.

Chapter 293 The Inevitable Victory Method

"They actually went public with it."

Lihua stared blankly at the computer screen. The webpage contained information about Xyz Evolution, including evolution conditions, Dynamax moves, time limits, and so on. It was extremely detailed, as if the webpage was afraid that others wouldn't be able to learn it.

Of course, a note was also added stating, "The above content is based on personal summary and cannot be guaranteed to be accurate. More information needs to be verified by the public." The last signature was You Zhi.

Lihua initially thought that You Zhi's words at the end of the match were just an excuse, a pretext he made to avoid revealing his secrets. After all, if she were in his shoes, she would also choose to keep it to herself to maximize her own interests.

Why should I share the technology I painstakingly discovered with others for free?

To everyone's surprise, the other party actually went for it, and just like that, they made public all the information that trainers were willing to exchange rare Pokémon for free.

"As expected of the proposer of the 'Everyone a Sage' program, his demeanor is truly extraordinary."

Lihua sincerely praised the webpage, carefully browsing it and finding no empty words, only the most practical content, making one wish to immediately find a spirit to test it out after reading it.

Her gaze swept to the comments section below, and unsurprisingly, it was mostly filled with expressions of gratitude and praise.

"Thank you, Mr. You Zhi, for your selfless sharing. You are the true master of Pokémon."

"Although I am also a contestant in this Pokémon League tournament, just based on your magnanimity in not caring about others getting stronger, I have to admit that Master You Zhi is the most deserving of the championship. If you win the championship, I will accept it wholeheartedly."

"Yes, that's the magnanimity of Pokémon League champion, something those self-righteous corpse-keepers can't match."

"You can't say that. It's true that You Zhi is very generous to share his knowledge, but it's also human nature for others not to share. You can't morally blackmail people into sharing. Not wanting to share is one's right, and being willing to share is a virtue."

"Everyone, hurry! The nobleman's dog is barking again!"

"Stop arguing, let's try it out. Although the data says that Xyz Form can only last for two or three minutes, powerful Dynamax moves are enough to change a battle. If we can get a Xyz Spirit in the competition, our chances of advancing will increase significantly."

"Yeah, we don't even know if the publicly available information is true or false. What's the point of arguing now? Let's go back and test it. If we can get a second Xyz Spirit using the method described above, then we can praise it."

Looking at the growing number of comments, Lihua said with anticipation, "Once the plan officially begins, you'll find that this is just an appetizer; the main course is yet to come."

"You're really generous."

Alisa already knew about the existence of Xyz Spirit, so she wasn't surprised when she heard the news. In her mind, You Zhi was the kind of person who would do something like that.
