In the last round of the quarterfinals, it was finally Xiaoyun's turn to play.
Amidst bursts of cheers, Xiaoyun slowly stepped onto the field, but his eyes crossed the center of the field and fell firmly on the man wearing a mask opposite.
Masked Royal, Professor Kukui.
This battle doctor of Alola Region eliminated the records of Dawn and Paul one after another, which made Xiaoyun feel wary.
Since ancient times, no researcher who can personally commit suicide is easy to deal with.
"Mr. Xiaoyun, I didn't expect to meet you so soon."
Kukui's voice came through the mask, with a hint of smile in his tone.
"You know me?"
Xiaoyun was slightly startled. After so many days of competition, the two of them had nothing in common.
"Sinnoh's young genius, the only young man in the quarterfinals, naturally cannot be ignored."
Masked Man laughed, his tone full of approval.
Indeed, those who advance to the top eight are either the champion or Elite Four, or an experienced gym owner.
Xiaoyun is really conspicuous among this group of people at his age.
It's like a Arceus suddenly appeared in the flock.
So that's it.
Xiaoyun bowed slightly and said, "Senior, thank you very much. It is my honor to compete with senior. Please give me your advice."
"You're welcome, use all your strength!"
Kukui took a step forward, opened his arms slightly, spread his fighting aura, and instantly transformed into Masked Man!
Bang! Bang!
The next moment, two beams of red light fell on the arena at the same time.
Xiaoyun is leading the charge, Water-type Supreme Overlord, Floatzel.
Floatzel stood in the center of the field with his hands folded on his chest and his tail swung, his bright black eyes fixed on the opposite side of Lock-On.
His demeanor showed arrogance.
On the other side, Masked Man sent out not Incineroar, who often leads the battle, but Starter Pokémon from Xiaoyun's hometown Sinnoh.
Empoleon!
So, is this being taken seriously...Xiaoyun thought to himself.
This doctor's previous games all started with Incineroar, but today he specifically changed to Water-type Pokémon.
Perhaps the impression brought by Paul and Gyarados is too profound.
In the corner of the auditorium, Paul put his hands in his pockets and stared at the arena that was about to start.
"Don't let me down."
On the field, the instructions sounded almost simultaneously.
"Hydro Pump!"×2
Poof!
In an instant, two thick streams of water collided violently in the center of the field, and the water spray exploded more than three meters high!
"Metal Claw!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Empoleon suddenly gathered Dual Wingbeat, and with the force of the backlash of the water flow, it broke through the spray, and Metal Claw rushed towards Floatzel's face!
"Hey!"
Floatzel hurriedly raised his arms to block, but was still pushed back by the huge force, and his soles plowed two shallow grooves on the ground.
"Nabo!"
Before Floatzel could stand firm, Empoleon was already chasing after him through the splashing water, his claws waving out intensive cold light!
"Fury Attack!"
The voice of Masked Man sounded.
Metal Claw is superimposed on Fury Attack, and the dense cold light almost completely covers Floatzel's whole body!
The continuous attacks forced Floatzel to shrink his body and defend passively, leaving him no room to breathe, let alone an effective counterattack.
Damn it, is this a research doctor? He is clearly a combat madman!
Xiaoyun couldn't help complaining in his heart, and then he took a deep breath and his voice suddenly rose:
"Floatzel, open Torrent!"
"Hey!"
Just when Empoleon's Scratch was about to fall again, a raging water suddenly burst out from Floatzel's body.
It was like a waterspout rising out of thin air and completely surrounding it!
Emperor Nabo was knocked backwards by the sudden flow of water, and the offensive was instantly interrupted.
When the water mist dissipated slightly, Floatzel was already surrounded by a coat of flowing water, and a crystal blue light glowed around the edges of his body.
Torrent Mode, Start!
Xiaoyun waved his arm. "Rain Dance!"
Floatzel raised his head and Fling shot out a Energy Ball condensed with water vapor.
Energy Ball exploded at high altitude, and fine rainwater immediately poured down, and the stadium was instantly enveloped by a curtain of rain.
Masked Man looked at Xiaoyun's command and instantly understood the intention.
Both parties are Water-type Pokémon. At this time, the purpose of using Rain Dance is obvious.
This Ability from Floatzel is Swift Swim!
Sure enough, when the raindrops fell on Floatzel, its speed increased significantly.
Swift Swim Ability is completely effective on rainy days, and the figure is almost turned into an afterimage in the rain screen.
"Come forward, Ice Saber!"
Xiaoyun Seize the opportunity and give the order.
Two rays of cold light condensed on Floatzel's forearm, and instantly turned into an ice blade shining with a biting cold air.
Empoleon had just adjusted his posture when he saw Floatzel rushing towards him dragging the afterimage!
Click, click, click!
The scene reversed instantly!
Floatzel, who had been suppressed just now, was on the offensive at this moment, which actually gave Empoleon a taste of passive defense.
Masked Man naturally would not sit idly by and shouted:
"Empoleon, metal Fury Attack!"
Empoleon Dual Wingbeat trembled, his arm turned into a sharp blade, and he swung wildly at the afterimage in front of him.
Ping ping pong!
Metal Claw and Ice Saber collided at high speed in the rain. Ember intertwined and splashed with water in the center of the arena, making crisp sounds one after another.
After turning on Torrent Mode, the power of Floatzel skyrocketed, and with the blessing of Swift Swim Ability on rainy days, the speed increased to the extreme.
Its offensive became more and more fierce, and its speed became faster and faster, gradually completely suppressing Empoleon's rhythm, and even forced the opponent to retreat continuously.
Masked Man's brows were tightly knitted under the mask,
He could clearly see that Empoleon's breathing was getting faster and faster. In order to keep up with Floatzel's speed, its physical strength was being consumed at an alarming rate.
If the passive defense continues like this, Empoleon will be exhausted before Floatzel can use stronger moves!
If this continues, you will definitely lose!
"Can't wait any longer..."
Masked Man's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he decided to take a risk.
"Empoleon, use Wave Crash!
"Nabo!"
Empoleon Dual Wingbeat was shaken, and the strong energy fluctuation forced Floatzel to take half a step back, and the offensive was temporarily suspended.
In this momentary gap, Empoleon condensed all the remaining energy into himself and lowered his body.
With an indomitable momentum, he rushed towards Floatzel!
"Do you want to use this trick to decide the outcome?"
Xiaoyun's eyes were not flustered at all, but instead ignited with fighting spirit:
"Floatzel, next, use Flying Raijin!"
"Hey!"
Floatzel The voice was full of fighting spirit, the skates on both arms suddenly came together, and the body was like a top Rapid Spin,
Immediately afterwards, the ice blade intertwined with the water flow, like a huge blue drill, crashing into Empoleon with a roar that ripped through the air!
Boom--!!
The next moment, two figures collided with each other in the center of the field, and a circular wave of water instantly exploded in the center of the field!
The airflow formed by the energy Tackle caused the rain Alto Mare in the center of the arena to deflect to both sides, forming a short-term vacuum zone.
When the water drops gradually fall to the ground, the water mist slowly disperses.
Floatzel struggled with his body on the skates, his chest heaving.
On the other side, Empoleon fell straight into the water, and his eyes had turned into whirlpools that had lost the ability to fight.
The referee announced the result, "Empoleon has lost the ability to fight!!"
As soon as the referee raised the flag, enthusiastic cheers erupted around the stadium.
Dawn jumped up from his seat. "Great! Xiaoyun won the first round!"
Masked Man put too much pressure on her, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried about Xiaoyun.
In the corner, Paul also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad, didn't disappoint him.
"It has to be Xiaoyun. I feel like nothing can trouble him."
Ash said with a smile.
Xiaoyun is the only one left in their group. As a friend, I naturally have to support him until the end.
"Their Floatzel and Empoleon are so strong. When will mine be as strong as mine? I will be fined!"
Barry stared at both sides on the field, his eyes were red with envy, he was holding his hair and wailing.
He has these two Pokémon, but the two below are pure monsters, and any one of them can beat them both.
At that point, you're just a new recruit.
"Such strength... is really strong."
Masked Man glanced at Xiaoyun under the mask, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Then my next Pokémon is it!"
"Go ahead, Incineroar!"
"Blazing roar!"
Incineroar, who was more than two meters tall, stood firmly, his orange and black hair exploded, and the flame belt on his belly button suddenly rolled up in full flames.
Intimidate, start.
Floatzel subconsciously took half a step back, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
This Pressure is much stronger than the Empoleon just now!
"I'm very excited, but Floatzel is not your opponent, your opponent is it!"
Xiaoyun was unusually calm and raised his hand to take back Floatzel.
As a member of the Tiger, Leopard, Bear and Monkey King, there is no doubt about Incineroar's strength, but he has already prepared countermeasures.
"Big Bear, prepare to fight!"
"Hah!"
Another red light exploded, and a giant bear also over two meters tall appeared.
Bloodmoon Bear landed steadily, his black left eye staring at Incineroar, and a deep roar came from his throat.
It's because of him that I've been fighting with that dead monkey for the past two days.
Tiger, right? You're done!
See if I can beat you to death!
The commentator Freddy O'Martian's voice immediately sounded, "The player sent by player Xiaoyun is Bloodmoon Bear! This is the Pokémon League recorded, extremely rare Ursaring evolution!"
"On the other side, player Masked Man is sending Incineroar, who has countless actual combat records! In a strong duel, what kind of Ember will the two sides collide with?"
Of course it's Ember that explodes!
Xiaoyun took the lead and ordered, "Big Bear, say hello to your opponent, Earth Power!"
Bloodmoon Bear roared in response and stepped violently to the ground.
Bang!
The ground instantly cracked, and countless amounts of Red lava spewed out from the cracks, sputtering towards Incineroar with boiling steam!
"What a powerful force. This bear is even stronger than the Floatzel we fought against last time."
Masked Man's brows were raised slightly under the mask, but the fighting spirit in his eyes quickly overcame the surprise.
But my Incineroar is not weak either!
Then, he suddenly waved his arm and ordered, "Incineroar, use Darkest Lariat after avoiding it!"
Incineroar roared low, landed on all fours, stepped on the lava and jumped one after another, as if walking on flat ground.
At the same time, both claws ignited fire, and the flames condensed into a rotating fireball in the palm of the hand. It used the inertia of the last jump to lower the body and hit Bloodmoon Bear's face!
Xiaoyun Seeing this, the order followed:
"Moonblast!"
"Hah!!"
A full moon of energy instantly lit up above Bloodmoon Bear. With a low roar, the full moon slammed into Incineroar with a sharp sound that broke through the sky!
The air was squeezed out with a dull explosion.
At this time, Masked Man suddenly changed his move. "Fire Spin!"
"Blazing roar!"
Incineroar suddenly rotated its body, and the flames around it instantly turned into a huge red vortex, wrapping it entirely.
Boom boom!
Fire Spin spins wildly, Darkest Lariat breaks through the obstruction of the full moon and continues to move forward!
Bang bang!
He punched Bloodmoon Bear in the chest with two consecutive punches, causing him to retreat continuously.
Bloodmoon Bear groaned and subconsciously covered his chest. The fur on his chest was burned and curled.
Xiaoyun looked at Bloodmoon Bear, with just the right amount of incitement in his tone. "Big Bear, can you bear it hitting you?"
"H--!"
Bloodmoon Bear stared at Incineroar and roared Rage.
Tolerance? Are you kidding? It doesn't know what tolerance is!
If you dare to set its beautiful hair on fire, little tiger, you are doomed!
"In that case, let's get ready to start!"
Xiaoyun's voice suddenly became serious, he slowly closed his eyes, and made a strange gesture with his hands in front of his chest.
"Hah!"
Bloodmoon Bear immediately stood up straight, and the aura around him began to become solemn.
Hmm? What to prepare?
Masked Man is a little confused, why are you so serious?
Do you think this is a movie? Are you The Return of the King?
Xiaoyun concentrated his mind, a faint blue light glowed between his eyebrows, and an invisible energy wave spread around him.
It's the long-lost Power of Overcoming!
Immediately afterwards, Light of Bond instantly connected him with Bloodmoon Bear.
Bloodmoon Bear's body suddenly bloomed with a strong light of evolution, and the voice also sounded!
"Bloodmoon Bear, Bond Phenomenon!"
As the light gathered, Bloodmoon Bear's size skyrocketed crazily, quickly reaching a height of nearly three meters, and its figure slowly emerged.
The brown hair has a dark red luster, and the full moon on the forehead turns into a crescent moon shape, as if it is dyed by Blood Moon.
The right eye retains the original mild tan color of Ursaring, while the left eye is covered in scarlet light.
The red energy pouring out of the left arm condensed, forming a hard bone armor, covering the entire forearm, and finally converged into a half-meter-long crescent-shaped giant blade!
"Bloodmoon Bear(Bond Form)"
"Attribute: Ground + Evil"
"Ability: Mind's Eye"
"Moves: Cero, Blood Moon Slash..."
"Introduction: Blood Moon, the strongest shield formed by the bond, the giant blade on the left arm is to protect, the eyes in the heart Detect everything"
"After Bond Phenomenon, the combat mode is changed to an integrated attack and defense, which can not only launch rapid single-target attacks, but also use range coverage strikes."
"Strength: Champion Stage!"
"Is this evolution Mega Evolution again?"
"But let me tell you, this change of form is quite handsome and looks so domineering."
"The giant blade on the left arm is like a sword. It will be extremely painful in a fight..."
"The eyes are so fierce, but the right eye is gentle, the contrast is so cool!"
