Chapter 307 A Desolate and Crushing Defeat
"The glory of the Water Canal Gym is all yours! Guardian Dragon!"
There was no mourning for Steelix's defeat; the next to appear was Donggua's ace, the Guardian Dragon.
"KEI!"
The Guardian Dragon basically belongs to the fossil Pokémon category.
The number of existing guardian dragons is extremely small, and they are not far from being extinct.
Since it can be called a "city-guarding" dragon, it already means that it has defensive power that surpasses most Pokémon. But will this powerful defense still be effective against Darkrai, which has Nasty Plot?
This time, Ash and Gua didn't pull any tricks. Instead, they waited until both sides were ready before issuing their commands.
"A wave of evil!"
"Cannon beam!"
The City Guardian Dragon has extremely high defense, but in return, it sacrifices its speed.
Speed is crucial when facing Darkrai, which has the Black Hole ability. Without traits like Motivation and sufficient movement speed, you'd be a sitting duck when facing Darkrai.
Donggua knew this well; if he was hypnotized, he would lose. Therefore, Donggua was determined to block Darkrai's hypnotic offensive no matter what.
The only way is to confront them head-on.
"boom--"
The two attacks exploded in mid-air.
This time, the Guardian Dragon wasn't instantly killed like the Steelix that had just appeared in battle. After a few seconds of stalemate, Darkrai ultimately emerged victorious.
The evil wave struck the guardian dragon head-on in the face, causing its body to stagger backward under the powerful attack.
However, the guardian dragon did not lose its ability to fight; it just began to become disordered, and seemed to be putting on a brave front.
"As expected of the city's guardian dragon."
Ash was also praising the defensive capabilities of the Guardian Dragon.
This battle may seem to have ended with Darkrai's narrow victory, but it's important to understand that the two fighters had completely different mindsets during the fight.
Following Donggua's instructions, the guardian dragon did its utmost to protect the dignity of the Canyon Gym, but Darkrai only attacked casually.
The gap between the two sides was once again vividly demonstrated.
"Well done! City Guardian Dragon!"
Even though he saw that the gap between the two sides was still huge, Donggua still enthusiastically encouraged the city dragon.
A burning fighting spirit shone through them.
This makes it seem like Ash is the villain, even though the whole thing was Donggua's fault from beginning to end.
Forget it.
Ash has figured out Darkrai's enhanced power, and the Gym Leader's ace can easily contend with it.
But it's just simple.
"Charge!"
"Dar!"
After the guardian dragon successfully withstood Darkrai's attack, Donggua thought that perhaps he could still fight Darkrai and find an opportunity to win.
Little did anyone know that after just one narrow victory, Ash abandoned all sportsmanship and began to take advantage of Darkrai's absolute speed advantage, intending to use the same strategy he used to defeat Magneton.
"Don't be afraid! It's just a minor issue! Just focus on the other person's position!"
"Roar......"
When the guardian dragon realized that it couldn't even lock onto Darkrai, it was far more panicked inside than it appeared on the surface.
Even if Donggua says that, he probably doesn't really believe it himself.
But the guardian dragon still tried to close its eyes and rely on its senses to locate Darkrai.
"Roar--"
Finally, the city-protecting dragon opened its eyes.
"Found it, huh?! Then let's use the beam cannon!"
"Roar--"
The guardian dragon's cry sounded aggrieved.
"Huh? Didn't find it!?"
"Roar!"
The city-guarding dragon growled at Donggua.
It's like saying, "If you're so good, then you do it."
Try closing your eyes when you can't see your opponent; this technique is actually quite common.
However, for a city-guarding dragon whose perception ability is relatively weak and whose strength lies in defense, isn't this just making things difficult for it?
If the opponent were on the ground, it would be fine, but the problem is that Darkrai has already turned into a shadow and burrowed underground.
"Black hole".
Ash's commands had practically sealed the fate of the match.
But the instant Darkrai emerged from the ground, the guardian dragon seemed to sense something, and Donggua also noticed it. He suddenly waved his hand and shouted:
"Cannon beam!"
"Roar--"
The city-guarding dragon was certain that it had never been as fast as it had ever been in its entire life.
A powerful energy ball gathered in its mouth, and almost instantly, the cannon beam was successfully fired.
The location sensed by the city-guarding dragon was correct, and the fact that the cannon beam had converged and fired successfully in the short time it turned around was also correct.
But it cannot understand.
why.
My movements were already so smooth and fast.
But the beam cannon ultimately only landed on the wall inside the Water Vein Gym.
The already thin wall was pierced through by this cannon beam, leaving the city dragon stunned, and Donggua even more stunned.
They couldn't understand it.
Why does Darkrai seem to be able to observe their every move? They are like pawns in Darkrai's palm, manipulated at will, without even a chance to fight back.
"Black hole launch!"
This time, without any surprises, the moment Ash gave the command, a black ball touched the Guardian Dragon and enveloped it completely.
The dragon's eyelids were drooping, but it could hear Donggua's shouts, and its desire for victory urged it to get up quickly.
But there was no other way.
After struggling for several dozen seconds, the guardian dragon could not resist its instinctive sleepiness and collapsed heavily to the ground, becoming a helpless prey.
"A wave of evil!"
This time, no skill could help defend against it. No matter how high the city dragon's defense was, it could not escape the fate of being defeated.
.......
"This is... a mine badge symbolizing victory... take it... if there's nothing else, I'm leaving..."
After the battle, Donggua looked as if he had aged several years.
After handing the badge to Ash, Donggua dejectedly carried his shovel away.
The enthusiasm was completely extinguished.
"This time, it didn't even last a minute... Damn it..."
The three Pokémon were defeated in less than a minute of battle.
Today's tragedy will probably stay in Donggua's heart for the rest of his life.
Watching Donggua's departing figure, Xiaoguang and Xiaogang couldn't help but exchange a glance, filled with sympathy.
.......
It's four in the morning, and I've finally finished writing...
Happy New Year to everyone! May all your wishes come true in the new year!
