“The author went on vacation and forgot to update during that time.”
“After the vacation, I’ll be going to an internship, so it’s time to sing the 'Cool' song…”
“I might need to get familiar with the environment at the internship location first, and then I’ll update after I’m settled.”
…………
“You’re here?”
Hearing footsteps behind him, and seeing the bobber on the water move, Gui Ling quickly pulled on the fishing rod, and a Magikarp was reeled in.
“It’s this kind again, the one that doesn’t taste good. Can’t I catch a normal fish?”
Gui Ling threw the Magikarp back into the water, put away his fishing basket, and slowly walked towards an open space nearby.
“You called me here? Not to a formal battle arena?”
Alan looked at the grass field surrounded by half a pond, a bit confused.
Gui Ling nodded, tossing a Rotom electronic referee into the air. Immediately, the ground began to mark out the battle area.
“Rank exchange battle. The match format is to be decided by both parties.”
“Quite advanced.”
“Now, let’s talk about the rules of the match. For this battle, we can both set the rules.”
“Oh, really?”
“You decide how many Pokémon per side, and we each state one rule. That’s all.”
“Then I want to do 3V3! My rule is that Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Terastallization can only be used once!”
Gui Ling nodded, and Alan’s stated rule also appeared on the Rotom battle referee’s screen.
“Then my rule is that neither side is allowed to switch Pokémon. That’s it, let’s begin.”
After the two rules were set on the Rotom referee’s screen, it flew into the air and began a countdown.
“The two rules have been set. Both sides, please send out your first Pokémon.”
“Come on out! Malamar!”
“Gardevoir, I’m counting on you.”
“Not planning to use a Legendary Pokémon?”
“Wait until you defeat my last Pokémon before we talk.”
Alan’s expression turned serious, and he immediately commanded Malamar.
“Psycho Cut!”
“Shadow Sneak.”
After Shadow Sneak was spoken, Gui Ling subtly snapped his fingers. Gardevoir immediately understood Gui Ling’s meaning.
Malamar unleashed Psycho Cut, heading straight for Gardevoir. Just as Gardevoir used Teleport to appear in front of Malamar, the compressed Shadow Sneak in her left hand directly struck Malamar’s face.
“If it’s immune to Psychic-type, then it’s indeed a bit difficult to fight, but we can also use Psychic-type to set the rhythm.”
Alan heard this and knew that Gui Ling was starting to take an unconventional approach. But seeing Gardevoir standing still, not preparing to use a move, he decided to strike first.
“Foul Play!”
“Then use Shadow Sneak.”
Foul Play shattered the incoming Shadow Sneak, but Malamar no longer had Gardevoir in its sight.
“Malamar, watch out behind you!”
Malamar looked back and found that Gardevoir had already appeared behind it.
“Mystical Fire!”
Gardevoir raised her hand to her chest, a red light flashed, followed by an explosion, directly blasting Malamar away.
“Perfect timing! Use Moonblast to attack the ground!”
After Gardevoir raised her hand, a pink energy orb appeared between her hands. Gardevoir slammed the Moonblast beside Malamar.
“This hit is no weaker than a Psychic-type move. Use Confusion to control the stones and press that guy down!”
“Malamar, Psychic!”
“You think your Psychic power can compare to Gardevoir’s? Psychic!”
Some shattered stones had already fallen towards Malamar, and three exploded giant stones around it also began to close in on Malamar.
The two Psychics began to resist each other, and finally, the three giant stones slowly pressed down.
“That’s actually quite impressive… Gardevoir, unleash Shadow Sneak with full power!”
Malamar resisted the giant stones with Psychic, only able to watch as Gardevoir condensed a massive Shadow Sneak and hurled it towards it.
Boom!!!
After the smoke cleared, the Rotom referee flew to Malamar and then announced the result.
“Malamar is unable to battle. Alan, please send out your next Pokémon.”
“Go! Metagross!”
Gui Ling looked at the bronze-colored metal lump in front of him and couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
“Type advantage…”
“Metagross! Flash Cannon!”
“Next, Shadow Sneak!” (Snaps two fingers consecutively)
Gardevoir and Alan both heard the finger snaps and reacted simultaneously.
“Metagross, use Protect!”
Seeing Gardevoir disappear from her spot again, Alan quickly gave the defensive command.
With a loud clang, Gardevoir used Teleport to get behind Metagross and unleashed a Shadow Sneak. But just as Protect ended, another Shadow Sneak appeared directly in front of Metagross.
It turned out that Gardevoir had released another Shadow Sneak before using Teleport, using Metagross’s Flash Cannon to block the release of the Shadow Sneak at that moment.
“Just wear it down. Next, it should be…”
“Gardevoir!”
Gui Ling had originally planned to use Gardevoir to wear down Metagross a bit, then use Ceruledge to finish the battle.
However, after Gardevoir understood Gui Ling’s thoughts, she immediately showed dissatisfaction.
Looking at Gardevoir’s slightly angry eyes, Gui Ling immediately shivered.
Not for any other reason, but because Gardevoir was like a parent in this family, with an ingrained superior suppression…
“Ah haha… Alright…”
Gui Ling laughed awkwardly, then reached for the Key Stone on his wrist.
“May the Pokémon Angel Protect its body and bestow ‘Brilliance’ that shines on all!”
After the light of evolution flashed, Mega Gardevoir appeared on the field.
“You shouldn’t have Mega Evolved this Gardevoir.”
Alan became increasingly serious, but Gui Ling just smiled it off.
“I have the ability to cover my bases, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
“Hmph! Foolish! Metal Sound!”
“Teleport!”
Gardevoir used Teleport into the air, while simultaneously using Confusion to float in the air.
“Slam two Shadow Sneaks onto the ground!”
After two Shadow Sneaks hit the ground, shattered stones erupted from the ground again.
“Still trying the same trick?”
“Psychic!” x2
The shattered stones on the ground slowly rose, but the frequency of their vibration became increasingly high.
Two powerful Psychic forces fought for control of the shattered stones. After a stalemate, neither side gained any advantage.
“Alright, I’ll give you control of these shattered stones! Unleash Shadow Sneak with full power!”
Gardevoir released Psychic, then unleashed Shadow Sneak with full power. Since Metagross hadn’t reacted yet, the powerful Psychic force directly lifted the shattered stones violently into the sky.
“Metagross! Protect!”
Gardevoir unleashed a massive Shadow Sneak towards Metagross, but she was also hit by the rising shattered stones, taking damage.
Metagross also released Psychic and used Protect simultaneously, but the Shadow Sneak was a step faster and hit its face.
“Flash Cannon!”
After the purple smoke dissipated, Metagross was covered in many blast wounds, but it still used all its strength to unleash Flash Cannon, firing it towards the slowly descending Gardevoir.
“Control the stones in the sky! Give it a Draco Meteor directly!”
A white beam of light swept past the shattered stones falling towards the ground. Both sides endured each other’s moves. When the smoke cleared, both Metagross and Gardevoir lay on the ground, unable to battle.
“One for two, not a loss, not a loss.”
Alan recalled Metagross and looked at Gui Ling’s relaxed expression in front of him, his anger growing even stronger.
He was somewhat unconvinced. To be honest, the opponent didn’t have any particularly amazing techniques; it was purely that he had many clever ideas. The rest was all overwhelming power from Legendary Pokémon.
His main goal in participating in the Eight Masters Tournament this time was to challenge Gui Ling again, at least to defeat one of his Legendary Pokémon.
That’s why when he heard there was a chance to challenge Gui Ling again, he rushed over without delay.
It must be said that this time he was purely impulsive; his emotions made his rhythm seem a bit rushed.
Alan also realized this, exhaled, and sent out his last Pokémon.
However, he still didn’t know that Gui Ling’s outwardly relaxed attitude was precisely to interfere with Alan’s emotions.
This somewhat disrespectful demeanor, coupled with having been defeated by him before, meant that someone like Alan, who wanted to become the strongest, would definitely be affected by his emotions.
“This is called psychological warfare~”
“Come out, Charizard!”
“Go! Ceruledge!”
Gui Ling also threw out his Poké Ball, and instantly, black smoke began to spread outwards.
“Is that your Ceruledge?”
Alan frowned, looking at the Pokémon completely enveloped in a black shadow, making it hard to see clearly.
“I encountered some good fortune~”
“Respond to my heart, Charizard Mega Evolve!”
Alan immediately used Mega Evolution. He looked at the figure in the black shadow and recognized that it was indeed Ceruledge.
He clearly remembered that this Ceruledge had directly taken down two of Dande’s Pokémon. He had to be extra vigilant!
“Flamethrower!”
Gui Ling smiled when he saw the incoming flames and didn’t make Ceruledge dodge.
“Activate Dark Aura!”
The next second, a sense of oppression assailed them, and the surrounding river water slowly turned purple.
As blue flames engulfed Ceruledge, the figure within the fire suddenly opened its eyes wide.
“Bitter Blade!”
“No! Charizard, use Dragon Claw!”
A sound of a blade tearing through the air was heard, and two bloodstains immediately appeared on Charizard’s belly. The flame on its tail began to weaken, and then it fell straight down.
“Charizard!!!”
Ceruledge had already appeared behind the fallen Charizard, its left blade unleashing Bitter Blade, and its right blade unleashing Shadow Claw.
“Releasing two moves at once?”
Alan was once again shocked, but he didn’t have time to think so much right now. He immediately ran to Charizard’s side to check its condition.
At this moment, the Rotom referee nodded and began to report the results of this match.
“Charizard is unable to battle. Ceruledge wins! Therefore, the winner of this match is Gui Ling!”
At this point, Gui Ling’s ranking had reached 7th place, making him eligible to participate in the Eight Masters Tournament knockout rounds.
“Charizard! Charizard!”
Alan anxiously called out to Charizard. At this moment, Gui Ling came to Alan’s side and pointed to Yveltal behind him.
“Leave it to us. Don’t worry, it will be fine.”
