"Roar fiercely!!"
Infernape is wrapped in flames and rushes towards Gardevoir like a rocket!
This time, it's no longer flames wrapped around its fists, but golden thunder!
Diantha raised his eyebrows slightly. "Thunder Punch? You are well prepared. Gardevoir, Psychic control the field, and then Magical Leaf!"
A blue light flashed in Gardevoir's eyes, and an invisible Confusion field instantly enveloped Infernape's sprint path!
Infernape's speed slowed down visibly to the naked eye, as if it was stuck in a quagmire!
Immediately afterwards, countless Magical Leaf pieces flashing with green light were generated out of thin air, attacking Infernape from all directions as if they were alive!
"Use Flame Wheel to break through!" Flint roared.
Infernape's body curled up and turned into a burning wheel of fire. It broke through Psychic's restraints, spun and bounced away from Magical Leaf, and continued to approach!
"Teleport pulled away, then Future Sight." Diantha took his time.
Gardevoir teleported again to distance himself, and at the same time formed seals with his hands, a mysterious energy disappeared into the space!
"Damn it, it's this again!"
Flint gritted his teeth.
He often sparred with Lucian and knew that Future Sight was in trouble and the battle must be resolved before it took effect!
Infernape missed the target again, but it didn't pause at all. It turned around, kicked off the ground, and sprinted all in one go!
Mach Punch! Fire Punch! Thunder Punch!
Like a tireless fighting machine, it launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Gardevoir!
Gardevoir is like dancing on the tip of a knife. Teleport, Dazzling Gleam, Moonblast, Psychic have all kinds of moves at your fingertips, and you can always resolve the crisis at the critical moment.
"Oh my God! Flint Elite Four and Infernape are completely lifeless tactics!"
"Too fierce! Gardevoir was completely suppressed!"
"Is this the strength of Elite Four? How dare you fight like this against a champion!"
The audience watched with excitement!
Fierce attacks and defenses with punches and fists are always more adrenaline-filled than those previous skill duels!
"They are fighting so fiercely, should I do something?"
Next to me, passerby Aci felt like he had completely become the backdrop.
Venusaur gently poked the trainer with Vine Whip.
Should we fight or not? How about we just admit defeat? Lying down is actually quite comfortable.
On the field, the battle has become intense.
Diantha frowned slightly, but his eyes remained calm.
Gardevoir, under her command, although he seemed to be in a panic, his dodges and defenses were just right every time, minimizing the damage.
It is consciously guiding Infernape's attack rhythm and direction.
Flint also knows that this is not going to work. Infernape's physical consumption is much greater than that of Gardevoir. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for him.
"It's now! Future Sight is coming!"
Diantha caught the moment when Infernape was recovering a little after a round of fierce attacks, and suddenly gave the order!
Boom!
A thick pink light beam suddenly lit up in the sky, shining directly at Infernape, which was very close at hand!
"The deadlock must be broken!"
Flint looked hard. "Infernape, use Flare Blitz! Ignore the defense and use all your strength to break through!"
Infernape looked up to the sky and roared, the flames all over his body burning to the limit at this moment!
It no longer remained and turned into a huge incandescent fireball with a diameter of more than three meters.
Boom boom boom!
The fireball penetrated the light pillar and crashed into Gardevoir with an indomitable momentum!
Diantha's eyes finally became serious. "Gardevoir, Protect!"
"Shauna!"
Gardevoir Push forward with both hands, and the green energy shield instantly unfolds!
Boom!!!
The incandescent fireball hit the Protect shield hard! The terrifying Tackle wave made the entire battle field shake!
Violent ripples appeared on the surface of the shield, making an overwhelming clicking sound!
"Break it!!" Flint roared.
"Roar!!!" Infernape roared at the top of his lungs!
Click!
Protect shield is broken!
Although most of Flare Blitz's power was offset, the remaining Tackle power still hit Sturdy hard on Gardevoir.
"Shauna!"
Gardevoir groaned and was knocked backwards, showing an obvious expression of pain for the first time.
It stood firm and concentrated its energy with its hands again.
Moonblast!
"It's now! Mach Punch!" Flint Seize this fleeting opportunity!
"Roar fiercely!"
Infernape endured the counter-injury of Flare Blitz, exploded with speed again, and punched Gardevoir!
However, Diantha's command is one step faster:
"Dazzling Gleam, zero-distance explosion!"
Gardevoir gave up condensing Moonblast and instead poured all its energy into Dazzling Gleam! The pink light exploded half a meter in front of it!
Boom boom!
Even with attribute resistance, Infernape roared in pain and staggered forward a few steps after taking this move at such a close range.
"Infernape!"
"It's not over yet. Moonblast!"
Gardevoir didn't stop, Moonblast condensed again, and fell suddenly towards the unstable Infernape!
"Fire Punch! Break it!"
Flint gritted his teeth and could only choose to attack!
Infernape's fist burst into flames and charged forward.
Fire fist!
Rumble--!!!
A more violent explosion occurred! Smoke and dust filled the air!
When the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, Infernape also stood up unsteadily. The flames on its body were much dimmed, and its right arm was charred black.
But it still stared at Gardevoir with unyielding eyes.
Gardevoir is also panting slightly. Continuous high-intensity casting and Teleport are also a big burden on it, but its condition is obviously much better than Infernape.
There was silence in the audience, all shocked by Spark's stone-fire counterattack and brutal fight.
"As expected of a champion... Seizing an opportunity can turn the situation around." Zoey sighed.
"But Flint Elite Four and Infernape are so strong-willed that they didn't fall down." Serena covered his mouth and said.
Clemont was equally shocked. "Flint Elite Four took Infernape Iron Fist Ability's advantages to the extreme, and the tactics were clear, which was to attack closely at all costs, which really put great pressure on Gardevoir."
On the court, Diantha sighed lightly, and looked at Flint with a bit more real respect in his eyes:
"Flint, you are really strong. Not many Elite Four can push me to this point."
Flint grinned, although the smile was a little forced, "But it's still not enough, right? I can feel that Gardevoir still has some energy left."
Diantha was noncommittal, and she grabbed the shining Key Stone on her neck:
"Then, it's time to move the battle to the next stage. Gardevoir! Mega Evolution!"
The light was bright, and Gardevoir's figure became taller and slender in the light, the red structure on the chest extended, and the skirt became more gorgeous and complicated, like a blooming flower.
Mega Gardevoir!
At the same time, the evolved Gardevoir quietly turned on Misty Terrain, and pink mist filled the venue, further strengthening Fairy-type moves!
Pressure is pressing on Infernape like a mountain!
Flint felt the soaring momentum of Mega Gardevoir and smiled bitterly.
He knew that conventional playing methods were useless. Mega Gardevoir's Special Attack and speed were both qualitative leaps. In addition, Misty Terrain and Infernape could not last three rounds.
"As expected... you still have to use this trick."
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Flint also raised his wrist.
But it's not Key Stone, but Z-Ring inlaid with strange crystal stones!
"That's Z-Ring?!"
Someone in the audience exclaimed.
"Flint, this guy actually prepared Z-Move!"
Volkner almost jumped in the stands.
Such an important thing, this fussy guy didn't even tell him in advance!
Lucian pushed up his glasses. "It's quite hidden. This Z-Crystal is specially prepared to challenge Cynthia."
At the VIP table, Cynthia raised his eyebrows slightly and raised a smile on his lips, "Oh? You finally showed your trump card?"
No one thought that Flint actually hid such a trump card!
On the field, Flint pressed his other palm on Z-Ring with an extremely serious expression:
"Infernape! Let's put all our fighting spirit and faith into this attack!"
Fighting-type Z-Crystal on Z-Ring burst into dazzling golden light!
Flint put on the unique Z-Move dance posture, with wide open and close movements, full of power!
"The surging true energy! Use your fists as evidence to crush everything!"
"Z-Move-All-Out Pummeling!!!"
"Roar fiercely...!"
Infernape's whole body erupted with unprecedented golden light!
The terrifying Fighting-type energy gathered crazily, and its body seemed to expand in a circle!
It was Splash high, and its extremely solid golden fist shadow covered the entire sky as it fell, Lock-On Gardevoir, falling with a crash!
This is a real killing blow that can shatter everything!
Diantha's pupils shrank slightly. She really didn't expect that Flint was hiding Z-Move! But she was the champion after all, so she reacted immediately:
"Gardevoir, turn on Protect!"
Mega Gardevoir pushed forward with both hands, and the green Protect photomask instantly unfolded, protecting it firmly.
Boom boom boom boom--!!!
The golden fist shadow heavily bombarded the Protect photomask! The photomask trembled violently, making an overwhelming clicking sound, and numerous cracks appeared on the surface!
Click! Boom!
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the Protect mask shattered instantly after holding on for a few seconds! The golden beam of light continued to blast towards Gardevoir!
"Gardevoir, Dazzling Gleam! All out!"
Diantha certainly wouldn't expect a Protect to be able to block it, and subsequent attacks would naturally have to keep up.
"Shauna!!"
The eyes of Gardevoir shine brightly, and the power of Dazzling Gleam with the blessing of Misty Terrain reaches its peak!
The pink wave of destruction rushed upwards and collided with the remaining golden fist shadow!
BOOM--!!!!!!
An unprecedented horrific explosion! The entire protective shield of the battlefield was shaking violently!
The dazzling light made everyone close their eyes, and a violent wave of air swept the entire place!
When the light and smoke finally slowly dissipated, everyone couldn't wait to look at the field.
I saw Infernape holding his hands on the ground, breathing heavily.
There was only a faint spark left on the Ember above its head, its eyes were unfocused, and it was obviously exhausted.
Gardevoir was in equally bad condition. His skirt was severely damaged and there were many black marks on his body. He was obviously severely injured and was panting.
Tie?
This idea just came to the audience's mind, but in the next second, Infernape's body shook, and finally couldn't support it anymore, and fell forward with a thud.
"Infernape has lost the ability to fight!"
The referee announced loudly.
Flint sighed, took back Infernape with a wry smile, and said softly to Poké Ball: "Thank you for your hard work, buddy. You have done a good enough job."
The audience was silent at first, and then burst into thunderous applause!
"It's so exciting! Another top-notch showdown!"
"Flint Elite Four is proud to be defeated!"
"Long live Miss Diantha!"
Although Flint lost, Infernape's performance won everyone's respect! It was an honor to be able to push Diantha, the champion, to such a point!
However, in this applause, when everyone thought that this battle was about to end with Diantha's victory.
In the corner, the eyes of the man who had been forgotten for a long time, Aci, suddenly lit up!
Opportunity!
He saw Gardevoir's severely damaged state, saw Diantha's slightly frowning worried expression, and saw that the referee had not yet announced the final result!
Opportunity to beat the champion! Once in a lifetime!
The blood rushed to his head, and his heart was beating wildly. Aci almost shouted the order:
"Venusaur! Now! Solar Beam!!"
If he can defeat Gardevoir, even if he is seriously injured, he will become famous in one battle!
From now on, he is no longer the passer-by, but the man who once defeated Diantha!
He can brag about this for the rest of his life!
Covet's greed, luck, and pursuit of honor instantly overwhelmed Aci's fear and reason.
"Da Na!!"
Venusaur Although it feels that this is a bit of a predicament, it must carry out the trainer's orders.
The flowers on its back quickly absorb light, and the blazing white energy quickly gathers!
"Shameless! Taking advantage of others' danger!"
"Brother, we despise you!"
"It's allowed by the rules, but morally... Tsk."
The audience suddenly burst into boos!
Diantha turned his head, his originally peaceful face suddenly turned cold.
If it were normal times, Diantha, who has a gentle personality, might be willing to accompany this player through two moves to show the demeanor of a champion.
But now Gardevoir is injured a lot, and his mood is a little complicated because of Flint's tenacity.
More importantly, she doesn't like this kind of sneak attack that takes advantage of others' danger.
"Gardevoir, Moonblast!"
Gardevoir slowly raised his hands, and the pink moonlight condensed again.
This time, the speed of condensation is obviously slower, and Energy Ball is not as bright as it was in its heyday.
But, enough is enough.
Venusaur's Solar Beam finally finished accumulating, and a thick golden beam of light suddenly shot out!
Almost at the same time, Moonblast of Gardevoir was also launched!
The cold moon Energy Ball collided with the hot sun Dawnie in the air.
And then... devastated.
Moonblast flattened Solar Beam with a crushing attitude!
Yuehua Energy Ball advanced against the golden beam of light, disintegrating it inch by inch, and then Sturdy hit Venusaur solidly!
"Da na!"
Venusaur screamed and was blown away. He landed heavily on the ground, his eyes rolled around, and he instantly lost his ability to fight.
Instant kill!
Even though Gardevoir has been injured, the ending has not changed at all!
The audience fell silent again, and then burst into even louder applause and cheers!
"Well done! Miss Diantha!"
"A champion is a champion! It cannot be shaken by opportunism!"
"That Aci is so stupid!"
The referee quickly raised the flag. "Venusaur has lost the ability to fight! Therefore, the champion Diantha advances to the next round!"
Finally, Diantha glanced at Aci, who was still sluggish, and said nothing. He just shook his head slightly and turned to leave.
"Why, how could this happen..."
Aci stood there dumbfounded, looking at Venusaur who fell to the ground, the blood drained from his face.
Only then did he realize the difference between champion trainers and ordinary trainers.
Not only was it reflected in his superficial strength, the deep loss swept over him, but also swept over everyone present.
