Chapter 124 The Water Lord of the Eastern Region, nicknamed Wave-Dancing Water
October 4th, cloudy
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Many things have happened these days.
Due to a change in the situation in the Hoenn region, Michael took his leave and returned with the pink diamond that Hoopa had brought.
Little Hoopa couldn't stay away from the Carlos region for too long, so before leaving, he carried large and small bags and departed from the golden ring of Golden Hoopa.
With numerous affairs to attend to in the Sinnoh region, Gosho was already quite dissatisfied, and Cynthia had no choice but to fly back to the League to take care of some important business.
After finishing his matches these past few days, Li Luochen has been spending all his time in the secret realm, and Lugia's level has increased rapidly.
We haven't reached the gym level yet, but we're getting close to the main group.
During this period, many formidable rivals gradually emerged, and numerous Gym Leader level Pokémon appeared.
Now that we've reached the quarterfinals, most of the trainers standing in the Strait Arena are locals from Fuzhou.
Only N and Gadriya remain on the field.
Mingyi and Paipa were eliminated in the round of 16.
Piper didn't seem to mind, since he was just a breeding-type trainer and not good at battling.
Mingyi was rather sullen, not expecting to encounter this exchange student who had returned from the Carlos region in the first round of the knockout stage.
hateful!
How could it be such a perfect coincidence?
Inside the Straits Arena.
Li Luochen's opponent is Zhao Yuchen, the sophomore who returned from studying in the Carlos region.
Holding a Garchomp allows for Mega Evolution.
Seeing Li Luochen going up against him, Mingyi immediately pulled Canon along, grabbed a banner, and shouted in the friends and family section, "Li Luochen will win!"
Papa wasn't as shameless as Mingyi, so she didn't shout, but she still gave a Wota performance to cheer him on.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the quarterfinals of the Truth Dragon and Phoenix Cup! I'm your host, Nirvana! It's an honor to commentate on today's match!"
"Now, let me introduce the two players to you~"
"The red team player is Zhao Yuchen from Rongcheng University. I'm sure everyone has witnessed the power of his Garchomp in previous matches! Even I'm really looking forward to seeing how Garchomp performs in this battle!"
"The blue team's player is Li Luochen from Rongcheng University, who is also the gym leader of the Minrong Gym! Every Pokémon in his team is incredibly skilled in battle. I wonder which partner Li Luochen will send out in this match~"
The host, Nirvana, sat atop a Shielded Swordsman, while a hairy troll below fiddled with a camera, aiming the lens at the two people in the arena.
Zhao Yuchen fiddled with his green hair, his eyes sharp and unstoppable: "I have every reason to win this battle today!"
"Very impressive, not bad."
In response to Zhao Yuchen's shout, Li Luochen nodded slightly and took out a decoy ball, holding it in his hand: "This is my striker."
The bait ball is clearly made of rippling water.
Zhao Yuchen frowned, feeling that Li Luochen was looking down on him to some extent.
"I don't have many Gym-level Pokémon. I can only choose a few after looking around. Why not just openly use my own strengths and avoid suspicion between us? Why not?"
Li Luochen explained with a smile.
This explanation, however, made Zhao Yuchen realize that there might be a trap involved...
Suijun (as it appears in the Eastern Region), nicknamed Wave-Dragon, is a Water/Dragon type.
It excels in special attacks and has excellent resistances.
This is the information Zhao Yuchen recently collected.
To fight against this kind of Pokémon, you need to use a Pokémon with high Special Defense and a type advantage.
Perfect, he actually has one!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuchen adjusted his breathing and took out a sweet ball.
Both Poké Balls landed at the same time, and Li Luochen's team indeed sent out the Wave-like Pokémon.
Zhao Yuchen's Pokémon is a Sylveon.
"Celestial Cloth~"
Sylveon stood on the field, giving a slight nod to the rippling water, its ribbon-like antennae resting on the bow at its neck, just like an elegant lady.
"Poho..."
The rippling water remained unresponsive, gazing arrogantly at the distant Sylveon, letting out a threatening growl.
Pokémon: Sylveon
[Attribute: Fairy]
[Level: 52]
【Characteristic: Fairy Skin】
[Movement: Omitted]
As the countdown ended, Zhao Yuchen seized the initiative and immediately shouted, "Sylveon, Light Screen!"
"Celestial Cloth~"
Sylveon closed its eyes, and the ribbon antennae on its left ear and neck gathered in front of it. Psychic light formed a transparent wall that swirled around its entire body.
Light Screen can reduce the power of the opponent's special attack moves.
But instead of launching waves from a distance, the water surged across the field, getting faster and faster, constantly closing the distance!
It's high-speed movement, a superpower type!
Zhao Yuchen saw through Li Luochen's intentions and raised his hand, shouting, "Sylveon, don't let it succeed in close combat! Use Hyper Voice!"
"Celestial Cloth~"
Sylveon emitted a high-pitched sound, and with the added benefit of its Fairy skin, a materialized pink sound wave erupted in layers, carving several furrows into the ground with terrifying power!
Li Luochen knew this move was powerful, so he ordered Bo Dang Shui to dodge first: "Water Jet!"
Swish!
Without much thought, the rippling water surged upwards, enveloping the entire body.
Seeing the loud noise coming from below, it exerted a little force, leaving countless waves behind it, propelling itself to suddenly approach Sylveon!
Its speed was so fast that Sylveon had barely closed its mouth to breathe when it was hit squarely by the Ripple attack!
"Now's the time! Magic shines!"
"Celestial Cloth..."
Sylveon glided backward a few steps, its body bursting with intense light, spreading outwards with fairy energy!
Boom!
The magical flashes impacted the rippling water, with remarkable effects!
Seeing his attack land, Zhao Yuchen pressed his advantage: "Moonlight Power!"
"Turn back immediately!"
A pink moonlight gathered above Sylveon's head.
Unexpectedly, the speed of the surging water was even greater, and the body covered by the rapids crashed into it!
Wow!
Water splashed, blurring Sylveon's vision, making it impossible for her to pinpoint the source of the rippling water.
The next moment, it felt a surge of warmth replace the chill that had gripped its body...
"Roar!"
The rippling water disappeared, replaced by even more ferocious flames that pierced the air!
Just as the power of the moon was formed, Sylveon suddenly shot out three ribbon tentacles, which firmly bound Flamebreaker. The remaining tentacles then lashed out at the moonlight, accurately bombarding Flamebreaker!
A burst of pink light erupted, and Sylveon was about to unleash "Gross" to finish off its opponent when it heard Zhao Yuchen's command: "Sylveon, use Baton Pass!"
"Cinquefa?"
Although Sylveon was confused, it still followed Zhao Yuchen's instructions and prepared to use the Baton Pass move to switch out...
Li Luochen's lips curled into a sneer, and he said coldly, "Too late! Void-Piercing Flame, unleash Flash Charge directly!"
"Roar!"
Piercing Flame stomped heavily on the arena, and a powerful burst of crimson flames erupted around the dragon's body!
As it enveloped its entire body, the Void-Breaking Flame raised its claws and charged straight forward, scorching the ground along the way. Its body, burning with crimson flames, was turning golden, captivating all who saw it!
In everyone's eyes, the Sky-Piercing Flame at this moment was as dazzling as a rising sun!
Sylveon, having bound Flareon with its ribbon tentacles, was burned by the raging flames and couldn't help but let out a low growl.
In that split second, the Blazing Flame had already rushed towards his face, leaving him with no way to dodge!
