In the audience, Xiaoyun came back carrying a bag of potato chips in one hand and a bottle of drink in the other.
"Huh? Where did you get this from?"
Barry is curious.
"Yeah, I picked it up on the road."
Xiaoyun finished eating, and then took out another pack from his pocket.
"Picked it up? I think you have a fourth-dimensional pocket, right?"
Barry looked like I'm stupid. "Why do all these good things happen to you? Why don't I have such luck?"
Xiaoyun shrugged with an innocent look on his face. "Maybe I am more handsome and the goddess of luck favors me?"
Ah, thanks Team Rocket.
Ash rushed over in a hurry. "Xiaoyun! The game just now was so exciting. And Darkrai, that form is even more handsome."
"That's right, my family Darkrai pays great attention to image management."
Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows proudly.
"Unlike some people, they don't even give up their looks for strength."
Tobias is innocently shot.
Norman wore a smart training uniform and walked towards the battle field while moving his wrists. Behind him were May and Max, who were shouting hard to come on.
"Come on daddy!"
"Come on, Lao Deng! Let the Wallace champion see the strength of our Petalburg Gym!"
"Gym Leader Norman, come on!" Xiaoyun also waved.
Norman turned around and smiled boldly:
"Don't worry! Although my opponent is the champion, I won't give in easily!"
Ash also clenched his fists. "Please show the style of Hoenn Gym Leader!"
"Hahaha, even if you say this to Ash, I have to fight hard!"
Norman laughed and patted his chest.
Soon, the second game came as scheduled.
Norman VS Wallace!
When the lineup was frozen on the screen, the audience burst into enthusiastic cheers and discussions.
On one side is Hoenn, the old brand Gym Leader, and Norman, which is famous for its various styles and unique Slaking.
On one side is the current champion of Hoenn, the artist of water, Wallace who coexists elegance and power.
A collision of two completely different styles.
"Gym Leader Norman, I have long admired your name." Wallace bowed gracefully.
"Master Wallace is very polite. It is also an honor for me to compete against the apex master Hoenn!"
Norman laughed heartily, "I'm just a rough guy. Please forgive me if the fight turns ugly later."
"The beauty of battle lies in the process and results, not in the form."
Wallace will not be deceived by this appearance. He can firmly hold the position of Petalburg Gym's gym leader, and he can also train Pokémon, a Buddhist type like Slaking, to the level of a monster. Can he be a simple character?
Wallace smiled, "Then, let's start this Water Waltz."
"What I wish for!" Norman's eyes narrowed, and his aura suddenly became fierce.
The battle begins!
"Go ahead, Gyarados."
Bang! Red light explodes!
A Gyarados, which was huge in size, ferocious in appearance, and exuding a violent aura, appeared boldly and raised its head to the sky with a deafening roar!
"Milotic matches better. Gyarados and Wallace have completely different styles."
Xiaoyun commented in the audience.
"After all, Gyarados is a very domineering Pokémon." Dawn blinked.
She didn't say vicious because she thought her Gyarados was cool.
"Exploud, leave it to you!"
Norman also throws Poké Ball.
A Pokémon that looks like a speaker landed on the ground. It has a huge mouth, which is open wide at the moment, ready to roar at any time.
"Gyarados, Dragon Dance."
Gyarados's huge body actually began to twist. The wild movements carried a strange rhythm, and the red light of Dragon-type's energy appeared all over his body.
Attack and speed, Synchronize improved!
"Want to strengthen? Exploud, Hyper Voice!"
Norman How can he let him get his wish?
Exploud That big mouth suddenly opened!
Buzz!!! The terrifying sound waves blasted out like a tsunami!!!
Even from far away, everyone can feel the heart-stopping vibration!
But Wallace did not interrupt Dragon Dance. The sound wave hit him, and Gyarados resisted!
"Counterattack! Use Aqua Tail!"
The strengthened Gyarados's giant tail was wrapped around the violent water flow, like a huge water axe, and struck Exploud fiercely!
"Protect!" Norman shouted urgently.
Exploud instantly deployed a green shield in front of him!
Bang!!!
Water exploded all over the sky! The shield fluctuated violently, but it did not break after all!
"That's good, but what next?"
Wallace chuckled, "Gyarados, Waterfall!"
"Use Boomburst!" Exploud blasted Spit Up with ear-splitting sound waves!
Gyarados was surrounded by violent water, rushing up against the sound waves!
"Boom!!!"
Exploud was knocked upside down on the spot and rolled several times on the ground before stopping. He was already seriously injured.
"It's such a strong attack power. How powerful can it be after stacking Dragon Dance?" Norman frowned.
Didn't May say that Wallace likes elegant battles? This doesn't feel right.
"Aqua Tail, end it."
The voice of Wallace sounded again, and Gyarados was seen waving its giant tail wrapped around the water flow again!
Boom!!!
Exploud had no time to defend! He was knocked backwards and his eyes turned into circles.
"It's really difficult..."
Norman took back Exploud, smiled bitterly and shook his head, but with more fighting spirit in his eyes, he threw the second Poké Ball with his backhand:
"Linoone, it's up to you!"
The strong figure landed on the ground, Linoone lowered his body, like a cheetah ready to go.
"Extreme Speed!"
Before he finished speaking, Linoone's figure had already disappeared from where he was!
No, it didn't disappear, but the speed was too fast, leaving an afterimage in ordinary people's eyes!
Almost at the same time, the air beside Gyarados exploded from Sonic Boom. Linoone's figure emerged out of thin air and hit Gyarados's flank hard!
Bang!
"Roar!" Gyarados roared in pain, and his huge body was shaken by the impact!
"Gyarados, Aqua Tail swept across."
Wallace didn't panic, Gyarados's giant tail swept across, covering a large area in front of him!
However, Linoone was extremely fast. He instantly changed direction in front of Aqua Tail, went around behind Gyarados, and hit Take Down again!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the next dozen rounds, an overwhelming scene appeared on the field.
Gyarados is like a giant beast being swarmed by Beat Up, waving its giant tail in vain, but always half a beat too slow.
And Linoone turned into white light and launched Thunderclap's unstoppable attacks from all angles!
"So fast! I can't even see clearly!"
"Is this Gym Leader Norman's tactic? Crush them with speed!"
"But Gyarados's physical strength is very thick, so it won't hurt or itch like this, right?"
"It's now! Linoone, Giga Impact!" Norman saw the right moment and launched his killer move!
Linoone's whole body glowed with white light, his figure accelerated again, and he went straight for the vital part of Gyarados's neck!
However, at this moment.
"Ice Fang!"
Gyarados, who had been acting slowly, suddenly had a cold light flash in his eyes.
It turned its head suddenly, opened its huge mouth, and the white cold air in its mouth turned into ferocious fangs of ice, facing the trajectory of Linoone without leaning to either side!
It was as if Linoone himself had crashed into the giant mouth of ice that he had been waiting for!
"What?!"
Norman's pupils suddenly shrank.
Fell into a trap! Wallace is playing me!
He had already predicted Linoone's attack route, and the previous delay was all due to Illusion!
"Linoone, get out of the way!"
But it was too late.
Click!!!
Ice Fang is closed, Bite is on the front Linoone!
The terrifying Ice-type energy burst out, instantly freezing most of Linoone's body!
Needless to say, in the subsequent battle Nate, Linoone also fell one after another.
"Gym Leader Norman has been suppressed!"
"The champion is the champion, this prediction is so accurate!"
"There is no way, after all, the gap in strength is there."
"Just look at Slaking!"
"Sure enough, the gap with the champion is still very big..."
Norman took back Linoone, looked at Wallace opposite who was still elegant and calm, and showed a wry smile.
"Then, it's your turn, Slaking."
The heavy body fell to the ground, and the entire venue was shaken.
Slaking slapped Yawn, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then... sat down on the spot, and started Tickle itching.
"Gyarados, use Waterfall to solve it!" Wallace did not miss this opportunity and immediately ordered.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, hesitation will lead to defeat, which is the basic quality of fighting. What's more, facing a monster like Slaking, any hesitation may be fatal.
Gyarados was surrounded by water and turned into a violent waterspout. With the momentum to tear everything apart, it slammed into Slaking who was sitting on the ground!
Slaking seemed unaware and was still scratching his belly.
Boom--!!!
Waterfall and Sturdy hit Slaking! Water splashed everywhere and smoke and dust filled the air!
However, when the water cleared and the smoke settled, Slaking was still sitting there.
Tickle's itching movements stopped, and then... he changed places and continued to scratch.
"..." Wallace had an unnoticeable stiffness in the elegant smile on his face.
The auditorium was also quiet for a moment.
"E-hard to eat?"
"That's Waterfall, the champion Gyarados! Is there anything wrong?"
"This defense is not even as good as Snorlax."
Truant The round is over.
Norman's eyes flashed:
"It's time to fight back! Slaking, Hammer Arm!"
"Roar!" Slaking, who was still drowsy just now, suddenly opened his eyes, and his lazy eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife!
Its huge body burst out at a terrifying speed that was inconsistent with its size. Its right fist was wrapped with Fighting-type energy, like a cannonball coming out of the barrel, and it hit Gyarados's face, which had not yet adjusted its posture!
Bang--!!!
"Roar!" (Damn it, slap me in the face!)
Gyarados's face was distorted by the punch, and his huge body was knocked upside down by the punch. He spun three and a half times in the air and fell heavily to the ground!
This blow cleared the remaining health bar of Gyarados.
"Gyarados loses the ability to fight! Slaking wins!" the referee announced loudly.
"Wonderful. Transform the shortcomings of Truant into part of the tactical rhythm, and use the opponent's stiffness immediately after attacking to launch a fatal blow."
"Mr. Norman, you are the best Slaking trainer I have ever seen."
Wallace takes back Gyarados and sincerely admires it.
These words come from the bottom of my heart, Slaking because Truant is recognized as one of the most difficult to use Pokémon.
How much patience and training skills are required to turn this negative Ability into one's own use.
"Haha, it's just trivial tricks that make the champion laugh."
Norman smiled heartily, but his eyes were more serious. He knew that the real showdown had only begun now.
Wallace took back Gyarados, took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.
"Come out, Milotic!"
"Wu~"
The light blooms and flows like moonlight.
The slender and graceful snake-shaped body landed lightly on the ground, the Celadon-colored scales glowed like Mew in the sun, and the long ribbon-like fins fluttered gently.
Milotic raised his eyes, his eyes were gentle and deep. Even when facing Slaking who had just punched KO Gyarados, he was still calm and unhurried, showing the style of a champion.
"Milotic, Surf superimposed on Waterfall!"
Wallace was the first to attack, still using his signature combination skills.
"Wu!" Milotic's eyes glowed with deep blue light, huge waves emerged out of thin air, and in the waves, violent Waterfall water rushed up.
The superposition of double waves doubles the power!
"Slaking, Blizzard!"
Norman showed no weakness and chose to attack.
"Roar!"
Slaking Open your mouth Spit Up Horrifying cold current!
Phew!!!! The cold wind and waves collided violently in mid-air!
Kakaka--!!!
The water flow froze instantly! The huge waves were frozen into an ice wall!
The ice spread along the water flow, and in the blink of an eye, the huge waves and countercurrent waterfalls were frozen into a huge ice sculpture!
"Frozen, frozen?!"
"Slaking used Blizzard to freeze Milotic's combo?"
"The power of this Blizzard is not inferior to that of a serious Ice-type Elite Four!"
Even Wallace's eyes flashed with surprise. He expected that Slaking would be very strong, but he didn't expect that even Ice-type's ultimate move was so accomplished.
However, this is the perfect opportunity to counterattack.
"Huh... ZZZ..."
Slaking, which had just finished spraying Blizzard, swayed its huge body, then fell back, snoring loudly.
Truant, start again.
The whole place was silent.
"I take back my previous compliment. Slaking is indeed not something that ordinary people can train."
Wallace was stunned for a second, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Without Truant, he would really have a headache.
But now, Wallace's eyes narrowed, and he instantly grabbed this precious Truant round.
"Milotic, seize the opportunity, Aqua Tail!"
Milotic swings its body gracefully, entwining the surging Aqua Tail's butt, like a huge whip of water, whipping hard on the sleeping Slaking!
Bang!!!
The water flow exploded, Slaking groaned in pain, and his body rolled half a circle under Tackle, but he was still too lazy to move.
"Slaking, Counter!"
Norman gave the order immediately at the end of Truant's round.
Slaking, who was lying like a dead pig just now, opened his eyes suddenly, roared, and his whole body erupted with a dazzling red light!
That's Fighting-type energy that doubles the physical damage received!
Its huge body turned over with incredible agility, its right fist was wrapped with a terrifying red light, and it punched Milotic who was not far away!
Counter!
"Wu!"
Milotic seems to have expected it. Its slender body is slightly coiled, and circles of softly rotating water flow appear on its surface.
Aqua Ring!
Bang!!! Counter's heavy punch, Sturdy hit Milotic!
Aqua Ring vibrated violently in an instant, Milotic let out a painful groan, and was thrown backwards by the punch, and its elegant long fins became messy.
But the remaining Aqua Ring on its body is still slowly rotating, and its injuries are recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"With the help of the buffering and healing effects of Aqua Ring, I was able to withstand Counter. The champion's trump card was really tough."
Norman frowned.
According to the general rules, Elite Four Level Pokémon would have suffered severe injuries even if it was not disabled. However, Milotic actually took it, and the difference in strength was evident.
"Mr. Norman really has a trick, he almost got caught."
Wallace exhaled gently, his eyes became sharper:
"But that's it. Milotic, Surf!"
Milotic once again set off huge waves.
"Want to repeat the same trick? Slaking, Blizzard!" Norman tried to freeze again.
"Superposition, Twister!"
Wallace's voice suddenly rose in pitch,
"Wu...!"
Milotic raised his head and let out a clear cry, and the airflow around his body surged crazily!
A huge waterspout, connecting the sky and the earth, suddenly took shape in Surf!
Twister carried a huge amount of sea water, spinning wildly, turning into a terrifying waterspout with a diameter of more than ten meters, and the internal water flow was like a meat grinder!
As soon as the cold current hit the rotating seaspout, it was torn apart by the violent rotating water. Only a small part condensed ice crystals around Twister, which actually increased its power!
Slaking tried to smash Twister with Hammer Arm, but as soon as its fist touched the periphery, it was deflected by the violent rotating water flow, and its huge body was involuntarily sucked towards the center of Twister.
Lurrulu...
Slaking was spinning involuntarily in the terrifying seaspout. He had no strength but nowhere to use it. It was like a giant beast falling into the whirlpool and could only struggle in vain.
Wallace elegantly lifted her hair that was messed up by the airflow and said softly:
"Do you really think I can only fight gracefully?"
He is the champion of Hoenn, the champion given up by Steven, and he is also the champion.
There can't be any championship speed bumps or civilian championships or something like that.
