Chapter 277 Battle against Zhuang Qi
The Greatsword Demon keenly sensed the threat coming from above.
With sharp eyes, it leaped forward with all four hooves, the sword dance still in progress, while simultaneously thrusting its long, sword-like horn towards its own claws.
"Ding!"
A crisp, metallic clang, like the sound of longswords clashing, rang out in the battlefield.
Zoroark retreated rapidly, landing silently in front of Onikai, like a weightless white shadow.
The Greatsword Demon completed the sword dance and saved himself.
But the moment he landed, the battlefield beneath him cracked open in all directions like a spider web, and his four legs, encased in armor, trembled slightly.
Zoroark's power just now put considerable pressure on it.
"Not Mimikyu? This is... Zoroark?"
Zhuang Qi did not recognize this form of Zoroark.
It looks like I've never seen it before.
However, with his keen eyesight and knowledge, he quickly recognized Zoroark's unique illusion ability and guessed Zoroark's identity.
While finding it novel, they also became more vigilant.
When dealing with unfamiliar Pokémon, you can't simply rely on past experience, or you might suffer a great loss.
This is the valuable experience he has gained from years of battles.
Gui Hai remained calm, undeterred by the failure of his previous tactics.
Even though Zhuang Qi recognized his Pokémon, his expression didn't change at all.
His eyes seemed to hold the burning heat of charcoal as he coldly issued new instructions:
"Zoroark, use Shadow Sneak Attack, then use Dark Pulse!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Zoroark's figure silently appeared behind the Greatsword Demon, its body seemingly blending into the darkness, almost imperceptible.
Immediately afterwards, the dark shadow lunged forward, its black claws gleaming coldly, reaching for the back of the Greatsword Demon.
Sensing the threat behind him, the Greatsword Demon quickly turned around and used the longsword above his head to block Zoroark's attack.
With a clang, the sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the venue.
Zoroark's claws clashed with the Greatsword Demon's longsword, sparks flying.
Just as the Greatsword Demon was doing his best to defend against this attack.
Taking advantage of the situation, Zoroark was enveloped in a strange black light, and the evil energy spread out towards the Greatsword Demon like a surging tide.
The wave of evil was accompanied by a strong aura of darkness.
Wherever it went, the air seemed to be distorted at will by an invisible giant hand.
It emitted a series of chilling, low whimpers, as if countless wronged souls were howling in agony within it.
The Greatsword Demon was enveloped by this sudden surge of evil energy.
His body suddenly stiffened.
A flicker of pain and panic crossed his eyes.
Zhuang Qi sensed the danger and ordered Greatsword Demon to counterattack swiftly: "Greatsword Demon, Water Tail!"
The Greatsword Demon endured the discomfort caused by the evil energy.
With all its muscles tense, aquamarine energy gathered on its tail, and it slashed fiercely at Zoroark.
This strike carried a fierce gust of wind, as if it were about to tear the air apart.
Zoroark nimbly leaped to dodge.
The Greatsword Demon's water tail grazed its body, leaving deep scratches on the ground.
Each scratch was as thick as an arm, and the surrounding soil and rocks were lifted high and scattered all over the ground.
As the battle continued, the entire battlefield became riddled with holes.
The ground was covered with cracks and ravines, and the surrounding air was unbearably hot due to the collision of skills, filled with an atmosphere of scorching heat.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Qi and Gui Hai's fighting spirit also intensified amidst the clash of Pokémon.
An invisible stance clashed on the battlefield.
This also affected the two Pokémon present, causing them to become excited.
The water around the Great Sword Demon surged, and the 'long sword' above its head emitted streaks of sword energy.
It cut through the surrounding air, making a 'popping' sound.
Zoroark's fur flew wildly, the red hairs at the ends of his snow-white hair like burning flames, and the air around him made strange crackling sounds.
"It's rare to encounter such an opponent, Zoroark. We will give it our all."
Guihai tore off the ghost face mask from his shoulder and put it on his face.
Feeling the emotions conveyed by the bond between himself and Zoroark, Kikai felt his relationship with Zoroark grow even closer.
"Go for it, Energy Blast!"
Zhuang Qi also got excited and shouted, "Greatsword Demon, let's go too! Water Cannon!"
Zoroark and Greatsword Demon simultaneously gathered all their energy, one condensing a blast of energy in front of him, and the other condensing a stream of water.
With the two Pokémon exerting their power.
The energy blast and the water cannon collided violently in the center of the battlefield, producing a deafening sound.
Water splashed everywhere, but Zoroark and the Greatsword Demon both disappeared from the spot.
Then, a series of crackling and popping sounds echoed in the air.
The white ghost and the light blue horned sword collided rapidly in mid-air, and most viewers watching the battle couldn't even pinpoint the exact location of the two Pokémon.
All that could be heard were Gui Hai and Zhuang Qi issuing commands.
Under these commands, the battle arena shattered inch by inch, as if it were being repeatedly struck by a giant meteor hammer, turning into rubble scattered all over the ground.
"Zoroyak tied a grass knot."
"Greatsword Demon, cleave it open."
Tendrils of grass quickly formed in the field, attempting to trip the Greatsword Demon.
The Greatsword Demon's forehooves had already gathered sharp power, and with continuous swings, it cut the vines one by one.
Let those vines transform into energy and dissipate into the air once more.
However, due to this exchange of techniques, Zoroark and the Greatsword Demon temporarily stopped.
Standing before the trainer once more, gazing at each other across the ravaged battlefield, the Elite Four's auras clashed repeatedly in the air.
The fighting spirit is surging.
Just as Oni-kai and Zoroark rallied and prepared to fight Zhuang Qi's Greatsword Demon again.
Zhuang Qi quickly recalled his Greatsword and replaced it with his battle Pokémon.
"Go, Lizard King."
The red and white Poké Ball opened, and in the arena, Zoroark's opponent transformed into a vibrant green Sceptile. Sceptile Ghost Sea frowned upon seeing this, not quite understanding Zhuang Qi's intention in changing his Pokémon.
As a Water-type, Greatsword Demon is not weak to Zoroark's Ghost or Normal types.
Sceptile is a Grass-type and does not counter Zoroark's type.
Changing Pokémon like Zhuang Qi does seems pointless.
If so, it's likely that they're trying to wear down Zoroark's stamina by randomly switching targets.
But if he can be replaced, then Guihai can be replaced too, which doesn't make sense.
Just as Guihai was having some doubts.
Zhuang Qi, sitting opposite him, smiled slightly, lifted the sleeve of his arm, revealing a bracelet.
A dazzling crystal on the bracelet shone brightly.
"I've heard that the Mega Evolution battle form was discovered by Prosecutor Onihi. So, could you please give me your feedback on my Mega Evolution?"
"Sceptile King, unleash your power, Mega Evolution!"
