Chapter 482 Bogaman, the Charisma of a Leader
Chapter 482 Bogaman, the Charisma of a Leader
A sandstorm swept across the entire battle stage, turning everything in sight into a dim, yellowish haze.
The fine sand grains hit Xiaoguang's cheeks, bringing a slight stinging sensation.
Bogarman and the Ivory Pig stood side by side in front of her. Although they were also affected by the sandstorm, their eyes remained sharp, and they remained highly vigilant at all times.
"The Sand Cloak ability...?"
Xiao Guang quickly considered countermeasures; she hadn't expected Ulala to use such tactics.
Through the large screen above the venue, you can clearly see the Garuda gradually blending into the sandstorm, becoming difficult to spot.
In this situation, Garchomp's location is extremely difficult to pinpoint, and Dawn's Pokémon attacks will have a significantly lower hit rate.
Ulala stood opposite Xiaoguang, arms crossed, a smile playing on her lips, looking confident and composed.
"How about this? This is a tactic I devised specifically for you!" Ulala shouted confidently.
Xiao Guang was not affected by this provocation.
She took a deep breath, her gaze still fixed on the field, countless thoughts surging through her mind.
"Bogarman, use Bubble Beam to attack Grass Lady! Mamoswine, use Freezing Wind to freeze Bogarman's Bubble Beam!"
"Pogaga!" Pogaman sprang into action, spraying countless bubbles from his mouth, aiming them directly at the Grass Lady.
"MU!"
The ivory boar roared and then released a cold, freezing airflow that enveloped the bubble beam.
The bubbles quickly froze under the influence of the cold air, forming a composite attack with both water and ice attributes.
However, just when everyone thought that Ulala would command the Grass-Knotting Lady to fight back or dodge, Ulala revealed a strange smile.
"Garuda, use Stone Edge!"
A deep roar came from the sandstorm.
The next second, several sharp rocks shot out from the sandstorm, hitting the frozen bubble beam with pinpoint accuracy.
The frozen foam instantly shattered into countless sparkling fragments, shimmering brilliantly under the spotlight.
Garchomp, the main attacker, had clearly hidden itself, but Ulala deliberately revealed Garchomp's approximate location, which is obviously illogical.
"I understand now. Ulala's main attacker is not Garchomp, but Grass Lady."
Ash, sitting in the audience, immediately realized what Ulala was thinking.
The outside hitter and the middle blocker switch.
If the two Pokémon you send out are not significantly different in strength, then there is no problem with doing this.
However, Garchomp's overall strength is definitely superior to Grass Knot Lady, so it's not appropriate for Ulala to do this.
But she did do it. After setting aside the factor of strength, Ulala's only remaining goal was the last one.
Xiao Gang reacted quickly: "I see, she wanted to use Sandstorm and Sand Veil abilities to create a counter-intuitive situation, making Xiao Guang focus all her attention on the unseen Garchomp, while ignoring the real main attacker, Grassy Lady!"
Moreover, a sandstorm was blowing on the stage, and Ulala deliberately lowered her voice to conduct. Under these circumstances, it was indeed unlikely that Xiao Guang would notice Ulala's actions immediately.
On the stage, just before the fragments of bubble light had completely disappeared.
Ulala seized the opportunity and quickly issued the next command.
"Grass Lady, use Rock Blast on the Tusked Boar!"
The Grass-Bound Lady's eyes flashed with a dangerous light as she gracefully spun around, gathering her strength.
The ground suddenly shook, and sharp rocks burst from the stage floor, shooting straight at the ivory pig like missiles.
After noticing the actions of the wealthy woman, Xiao Guang realized that he had been tricked.
Her gaze was fixed on the Garuda hidden in the sandstorm, but she overlooked the fact that the Grass Lady was the real threat.
However, it was too late to react; the rock blast was about to hit the Ivory Boar.
"Ivory pig, watch out!" Xiao Guang shouted anxiously, but it was all in vain.
Upon seeing the oncoming rocks, the ivory pig instinctively closed its eyes, preparing to withstand the attack.
Just when things were at their most critical, a blue figure suddenly appeared in front of the ivory pig.
It's Bogarman!
It did not wait for Xiaoguang's instructions, but acted based on its own judgment.
"Poga!"
Bogarman reacted quickly, gathering power the moment he charged forward, so that he could unleash a powerful vortex the instant he reached Mamoswine.
The vortex was placed in front of the Ivory Boar by Pogaman, forming a wall of water to protect it.
The force of the blasting rocks impacting the whirlpool was greatly reduced.
Nevertheless, some pebbles still managed to penetrate the whirlpool and strike Bogarman's body.
Bogarman let out a muffled groan, but it still stood firmly in front of the Ivory Boar, using its body to shield the Ivory Boar from the remaining attacks.
Bogarman knew very well that Mamoswine was the real main attacker in this battle, so it had to take responsibility to preserve Mamoswine's stamina as much as possible and shield it from as much damage as possible.
Although Pogaman has always wanted to prove itself, it is also aware of its responsibilities at different times.
“Bogarman…”
Xiao Guang witnessed this scene and was shocked. An indescribable emotion surged within him.
Piplup has always wanted to play a leadership role in the team. Although other Pokémon sometimes do not fully accept its "big brother" status, Piplup has never stopped trying.
At that very moment, Bogarman's sacrifice for the sake of the battle truly demonstrated his leadership qualities.
At that moment, Hikari seemed to see the shadow of Ash's Pikachu in Piplup, as if Piplup had truly become like Pikachu, a presence that could make everyone feel at ease simply by standing on the field.
"Bogarman, he's really amazing...so cool..." Hikaru murmured to himself, his lips unconsciously twitching upwards.
This shouldn't be said now, otherwise Bogarman will definitely stand tall and proud, looking like it's his due.
Let's save those compliments for after this battle is over.
On stage, Bogarman glanced back at the Ivory Pig, and only after confirming that it was alright did he turn to Hikari.
He nodded to Xiaoguang, as if to tell Xiaoguang that he had resolved the crisis.
Xiao Guang quickly adjusted his mindset, making the most of the situation created by Bogaman and seizing the opportunity to counterattack.
"Magikarp, use Blizzard! Piplup, use Bubble Beam to assist the attack!"
