Silver was not panicked when he saw this scene. He had no intention of confronting Skarmory head-on.
What he wanted was surprise.
"Confuse Ray!"
A strange colorful light suddenly lit up in Murkrow's eyes. The light was as unpredictable as a kaleidoscope, with a dizzying magic power.
Amatras!
Alun's face changed drastically. "No! Get out of the way!"
But the distance between Murkrow and Skarmory was too close, so close that Skarmory had no time to react.
Skarmory was hit by Confuse Ray. His body shook violently and his eyes became distracted.
Its head began to shake uncontrollably, and its body flew randomly in the air, completely losing its sense of direction, like a drunken man.
"Skarmory! Wake up!"
Alun was extremely anxious, but Confusion's Skarmory simply couldn't listen to the trainer's orders.
It even flew in the wrong direction and almost hit the hot Air Balloon.
"Murkrow, take the ring!"
Murkrow took advantage of the chaos of Skarmory, quickly rushed to the ring, grabbed it in one bite, and then flew towards the elevated hook corner!
"Look! The red-haired contestant is going to take the ring!"
"This is a reversal! The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind!"
"No! There are two bigger birds ahead!"
Falkner and Yushu were still fighting fiercely until they heard Kiko shouting below:
"Stop fighting! Someone is trying to steal your home!"
Falkner suddenly came to his senses, turned around and saw that Silver's Murkrow was already holding the ring in its mouth, and it was less than half the distance from the elevated hook corner!
"Fuck!"
Falkner couldn't help but curse. He was so focused on fighting Yushu that he almost forgot that he had other opponents!
Yushu also noticed Silver's actions and raised his eyebrows. "This kid is quite good at seizing opportunities."
However, he would not let Silver succeed so easily.
"Staraptor, deal with Murkrow first!"
"Pidgeot, stop Murkrow!"
At this moment, the two competitors reached a tacit consensus.
The involution is paused! Defeat the thief's sixth brother first, and then continue the peak showdown!
Staraptor and Pidgeot changed directions at the same time and rushed towards Murkrow!
Two Pokémons, one on the left and one on the right, formed a double team.
Silver saw the two Pokémons that had just been beating to death rushing towards him at the same time, and his face instantly turned pale. "That's not it! These two people have joined forces?!"
Murkrow was also panicked, his feathers were blown out of fright, and the whole bird looked fatter.
It held the ring in its mouth and looked at Staraptor on the left in bewilderment, and then at Pidgeot on the right. Its small eyes were full of great fear.
It can't even defeat a Staraptor, let alone another Pidgeot.
Any one of these two Pokémon can beat it, now let's do it together.
Wouldn't this kill it?
"Murkrow, Endure!"
Silver gritted his teeth and shouted, although he didn't know how to persist.
Murkrow: Just hold on! Come and try what it feels like to be flanked by two big brothers!
"Muke!" (Little crow! You run very fast!)
Staraptor arrived at the battlefield first, and a Steel Wing struck towards Murkrow!
Murkrow hurriedly dodged, but the ring in his mouth almost fell off, and he rolled around in the air awkwardly, barely dodging Staraptor's attack.
Immediately afterwards, Pidgeot also arrived, and a Aerial Ace directly hit Murkrow!
"Gah!!!"
Murkrow let out a scream and was knocked over and rolled several times in the air.
Staraptor wins Pursuit, and another Steel Wing makes up for it!
Murkrow barely used his wings to block it, but the difference in strength was too great and he was blown away.
Staraptor and Pidgeot are like playing Double Battle. You use a wing and I use a claw to pump Murkrow like a top.
The ring also fell off its claws and rolled down in the air.
Silver looked at the ring falling and knew that he had no chance.
"Murkrow, come back."
"Silver player, eliminated!" the referee announced.
Alun saw that Silver was eliminated, and his current situation is not much better.
Skarmory is still in Confusion, so there is no way to fight.
And he also saw that Yushu and Falkner were far stronger than him. Even if Skarmory returned to normal, he could not be their opponent.
Yushu and Falkner competed for first place, and he firmly ranked third. The third place prize is TM from Roost.
Although it's not the best, it's pretty good. Instead of going up and getting beaten, it's better to be a spectator.
Think of it as finding yourself an infield ticket and watching the masters' duel at close range.
So Alun directly chose to open up and took back Skarmory who was still in chaos:
"Skarmory, come back."
"Alun player, eliminated!"
The audience burst into laughter.
"Brother is very aware of current affairs! He is always ready to retreat when faced with difficulties!"
"So self-aware."
"There's a reward for third place anyway, so why go up and get beaten?"
Now, there are only two people left on the field.
Yushu and Falkner.
Staraptor and Pidgeot.
Falkner said, "Yushu, your Staraptor is really strong."
As a Gym Leader, he is broad-minded enough to admit the strength of his opponent.
Yushu smiled slightly and responded politely:
"Both and each other, your Pidgeot is also very powerful. The combination of speed and power is perfect, and it is indeed the ace of Violet Gym."
This is not a business bragging, Pidgeot is indeed one of the best Flying-type Pokémon he has ever seen.
If anyone wants to suppress Falkner in Flying-type, I am afraid it is only the king of Flying-type.
(Doduo: You curse again!!)
"Thanks for the compliment, but."
Falkner changed the topic, his eyes became sharp, and his whole person exuded a strong fighting spirit.
"As the owner of Violet Gym, I cannot lose. This is my home court, and I have the honor to protect it."
"What a coincidence, I thought so too."
Yushu shrugged.
Come on, the reward must be taken away!
The two looked at each other.
"Pidgeot, Quick Attack!"
"Staraptor, Steel Wing prepare!"
Pidgeot turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Staraptor at an extremely fast speed!
Staraptor and Dual Wingbeat have a metallic luster and are ready for battle.
Phew!
However, just when Pidgeot was about to rush in front of Staraptor, it suddenly made a sharp turn and disappeared from Staraptor's sight!
"Aerial Ace!"
The next moment, Pidgeot appeared behind Staraptor, turned into a white light, and crashed into Staraptor with lightning speed!
"Staraptor, duck sideways!"
Staraptor's body moved flexibly to one side in the air, narrowly avoiding Pidgeot's Aerial Ace.
Aerial Ace brushed against its feathers and cut off a few feathers.
But the moment Pidgeot passed by Staraptor, he suddenly changed his moves!
"Brave Bird!"
"Better!"
Pidgeot's body suddenly ignited with blue flames, turning into a big flame bird, carrying the power of Brave Bird, and slammed into Staraptor!
This change of moves was very fast. Apparently Falkner had already planned this set of combos.
First use Aerial Ace Feint, forcing Staraptor to dodge, and then suddenly switch to Brave Bird at close range, catching the opponent off guard!
"Staraptor, let's Brave Bird!"
Yushu also showed no signs of weakness.
Head-to-head! Who is afraid of whom?
Staraptor's body also lit up with blue flames and turned into a big flaming bird!
Seeing Staraptor Stockpile, Falkner raised the corner of his mouth.
Pidgeot is in the Tailwind state at the moment. The speed under the blessing of Tailwind is already fast. Coupled with the acceleration of the dive, Pidgeot's Brave Bird is incredibly fast and its power is even higher.
However, Staraptor is in a headwind situation and is at a disadvantage in terms of speed, and cannot exert the full power of Brave Bird at all.
Soon, Pidgeot arrived at Staraptor first.
Boom!!!
There was a loud noise, and the two Pokémon collided violently! Flames flew everywhere, and the shock wave spread in all directions.
Pidgeot quickly gained the upper hand and pushed Staraptor down all the way!
Staraptor wanted to stabilize its figure, but Pidgeot's power was too great, and it couldn't resist it at all.
If it is pressed to the ground, Staraptor will definitely lose!
"Staraptor is going to lose!"
"Pidgeot Come on! Press down!"
If it is Vespiquen Yushu there is really nothing we can do, but this is Staraptor.
"Staraptor, Close Combat!"
"Muke!!!"
Staraptor clasped Pidgeot with its claws, flapped its wings continuously, and broke away from Pidgeot's suppression in an almost crazy manner!
Left hook! Right hook! Uppercut!
Completely abandon the conventional play style of flying Pokémon, and start savage bites in the air!
Pidgeot was caught off guard by this sudden counterattack and lost his balance.
What the hell?
How can you, a bird, know Fighting type skills?
"Pidgeot, hold on!" Falkner shouted hurriedly.
This Staraptor is still practicing Fighting type in the air? Are even birds starting to roll these days?
Pidgeot finally managed to stabilize his body, but before he could take a breath, Yushu's next order had already been issued.
"Staraptor, Hurricane!"
Staraptor Dual Wingbeat opened the door suddenly, and a violent air flow instantly formed, wrapping Pidgeot in it!
Pidgeot has just finished using Brave Bird and is suffering from the pain of re-injury. His body is in a weak state and is spinning uncontrollably in the storm.
It's like a piece of clothing that has been thrown into the washing machine, spinning so fast that even your own mother doesn't recognize it.
"Pidgeot! Aerial Ace rush out Hurricane!"
Falkner shouted.
Pidgeot gritted his teeth, tried his best to activate Aerial Ace, and turned into a white light and barely rushed out of the range of Hurricane.
But it has become dizzy.
At this time, Staraptor had already taken the opportunity to quickly take off and fly towards the ring!
"Not good!"
Falkner's expression changed greatly, and he wanted Pidgeot to catch up, but Pidgeot was still troubled by the sequelae of Hurricane and couldn't escape at all.
Staraptor easily picked up the ring, flew to the corner of the elevated hook, and released it gently.
Ding!
The ring landed firmly on the hook corner, making a crisp metal collision sound.
"Yushu player wins!"
The host announced excitedly:
"Yushu player from Sinnoh Region defeated Falkner and won this year's Flying Contest championship!"
"Damn! It's so exciting!"
"This is the real peak showdown!"
"The family bird is awesome!"
"I take back what I said! Foreigners can also win the championship!"
