Chapter 487 The dust has settled! The victors are in sight!
Chapter 487 The Dust Settles! The Victor's Figure! (Part 2, 7/8)
The atmosphere at the grand celebration was extremely tense.
Xiao Wang's gaze fell on the other end of the field, where Charming Cat's current situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.
Anxiety surged within her; she knew she couldn't wait any longer.
"Gallade, jump into the air and use Aerial Aerial!" Xiaowang shouted urgently, waving his arm forward.
Gallade vanished from its spot in an instant, its slender body like a green lightning bolt, drawing a graceful arc in mid-air, its target pointing directly to the other side of the field.
Hikari keenly sensed the other party's intentions, and naturally she wouldn't let Nozomi's Gallade break through the defenses so easily.
She took a deep breath and shouted, "Pokekiss, use Aura Missiles to intercept!"
"TOG!"
Togekiss immediately sprang into action, a soft blue light gathering in front of it, and an energy ball quickly formed, which it then shot toward Gallade in mid-air.
Xiao Wang couldn't help but frown.
Normally, Gallade can easily kick away such attacks.
But the situation is different now.
With Gallade suspended in mid-air and lacking a stable foothold, dodging the oncoming Aura Spheres became extremely difficult.
"Gallade, block with both arms!"
Although Xiaowang didn't want Gallade to suffer any more unnecessary harm, the current situation was no longer the ideal one she envisioned, and Gallade had to withstand this attack.
In mid-air, Gallade stood with a resolute gaze, its arms crossed over its chest, as the Aura Sphere accurately struck its defensive posture.
A deafening explosion echoed throughout the venue, and blue energy ripples spread outwards.
The sudden collision caused the audience to gasp in surprise. Everyone held their breath and watched the situation in the smoke on the stage, wondering if Gallade would still have enough stamina after being attacked.
However, what most people did not expect was...
Through the smoke, Gallade's figure began to fly towards the other side of the stage.
It turns out that Xiaowang planned to use the power of the Aura Missile explosion to send Gallade there.
It was a risky move.
Gallade nimbly adjusted its posture in mid-air and quickly flipped over the huge rock in the center of the arena. It was about to reach the airspace above the other side of the arena and successfully meet up with the Meowth on the other side.
Xiao Wang's lips curled up slightly; the plan seemed to be progressing smoothly.
However, Xiao Guang reacted even faster.
Her gaze followed Gallade's trajectory, and she quickly issued the command.
"Curly Ear, use Jump again!"
Curly-eared creature curled up its soft body, then suddenly stretched out.
It didn't jump too high, but precisely calculated the distance and lightly leaped to the top of Charming Cat.
Charming Cat reacted instinctively, its tail gleaming with a metallic sheen, and it unleashed a powerful iron tail attack at Curly Ears.
And that's exactly what Xiaoguang was hoping for.
Curly-eared skillfully stepped onto Iron Tail, using the momentum to leap up again, just in time to meet Gallade flying in from the other side in mid-air.
"Curlear, Freeze Beam! Togekiss, Air Cutter!" Dawn issued commands one after another, as if she wanted to take down Gallade in mid-air.
Two attacks simultaneously struck Gallade, one blue and one white, weaving into a deadly net in the air.
Xiao Wang frowned, while Gallade had nowhere to hide in mid-air.
It seems that Xiaoguang anticipated his thoughts, which is why he reacted so quickly.
No way.
Xiao Wang sighed inwardly and could only shout, "Disperse the air cutter and withstand the freezing beam!"
Gallade's arms blurred into afterimages, precisely shattering the air slicing attack that was flying towards it.
Although there isn't enough leverage point in mid-air, Gallade could probably break through this kind of direct attack even with its eyes closed.
However, they were unable to take care of their own situation on the other side.
The freezing beam struck its back directly, and frost quickly spread across its green skin.
Gallade closed its eyes in pain, but remained in a fighting stance.
Xiao Wang did not surrender; his gaze turned to the area below.
"Charming Meow! Aim at Curly Ears and unleash 100,000 volts!"
Charming Cat's elegant body was surrounded by sparks of electricity, and a powerful current burst from its body, striking the unsuspecting Curly Ears above.
"Curly ear, watch out!"
Xiao Guang's warning came too late.
“MI!”
An electric current coursed through Curly-Ear's entire body, causing it to convulse in mid-air, its painful cries echoing throughout the arena.
Upon landing, Curly Ears' limbs began to tremble slightly, indicating that its injuries had worsened considerably.
Meanwhile, Gallade, after being knocked back by Curly-ear's Freeze Beam, also began to kneel on the ground, panting heavily, clearly having suffered considerable damage as well.
Despite both sides suffering injuries in this round of matches, the situation on the field remains unchanged.
Xiaowang's plan to reunite Gallade and Meowth failed, and the two Pokémon remained on opposite sides of the field.
......
Gallade slowly rose to its feet, frost still clinging to parts of its body, but its eyes remained sharp.
However, Juanjuan'er clearly showed signs of exhaustion.
Xiao Guang bit her lip tightly, realizing that Curly Ears could no longer suppress Charming Cat.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Wang immediately switched to the offensive.
"Charming Meow, Electric Wave, then Iron Tail Suppression!"
Charming Cat's body crackled with electricity once more, a wave of electricity shooting towards Curly Ears. Then, it gracefully leaped up, its iron tail once more coalescing and slashing down fiercely at Curly Ears.
Xiao Guang understood that Juan Juan Er no longer had the strength to continue the attack.
"Curly Ears, keep bouncing to dodge!"
Curly Ears endured the pain and used Jump to move around the field, barely dodging Charming Cat's attacks.
"Togekiss, keep using Air Slash to attack Gallade, don't let it catch its breath!"
Xiao Guang continued to have Togekiss use Air Slash on Gallade, and a dense barrage of air blades rained down on Gallade.
Xiao Wang's expression remained calm.
Clearly, Xiao Wang already had the key to breaking the deadlock in mind.
"Gallade, stay close to the rocks and continue using Psychic Blade to break up the air cutter!"
"AI!"
Gallade quickly moved to the side of a huge rock, the blades on its arms glowing pink as it swung like lightning.
Every ray of air that flew in was precisely cleaved into fragments, exploding in mid-air and turning into dazzling spectacle of light.
Xiao Guang's expression remained unchanged as he quietly watched the scene unfold.
It seems that both the failure of this air-cutting attempt and Xiaowang's instruction to let Gallade get closer to the rock were within Xiaoguang's expectations.
Tokiss continued to unleash air-cutting attacks relentlessly, and although the attacks were blocked, it showed no sign of stopping.
As Gallade continued to swing its arms, the explosions and vibrations generated when the Air Cutter was broken, coupled with Gallade's additional attacks on the rocks behind it while defending against the Air Cutter, created a powerful effect.
Soon, clear cracks began to appear on the huge rock.
Fine lines spread across the rock surface like a spider web, foreshadowing its impending collapse.
Xiao Wang noticed this and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Even if Gallade is injured, as long as it can continue to block Togekiss's Air Slash, everything is under control.
She believed that Togekiss's attack would be absolutely unable to break through Gallade's sophisticated defenses.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Xiao Wang quickly glanced at the situation on the other side of the field.
Curly Ears is trying to outmaneuver Charming Cat, but is clearly at a disadvantage.
In the brief moment of dodging, Curly Ear was hit by Iron Tail again, and its body visibly swayed. It was probably just one last hit away from losing its ability to fight.
Once the rock shatters, Gallade can use Vacuum Wave to cut off Bumblebee's escape route and then quickly defeat it.
In this way, the victory will be completely secured.
Meanwhile, Xiao Guang remained unmoved as he saw the cracks on the rock increasing, making it look like it was about to shatter.
She simply clenched her fists slightly, as if waiting for a certain moment to arrive.
"Snap—"
With a crisp sound, the rock finally succumbed to the pressure and began to slowly crack.
The signal of the collapsing rocks seemed to become the starting gun for Xiaoguang and Xiaowang's decisive battle.
Both sides issued different instructions at the same time.
"Now!" Xiao Wang shouted, his voice filled with the excitement of victory.
Gallade quickly gathered its power, and the blades on its arms shone brightly.
It used a single, precise strike to completely shatter the rock in the middle.
Rock fragments scattered and flew everywhere, clearing passageways on both sides of the stage.
"Now's the time, Tokiss! Use Air Cutter!" Hikari's voice was equally filled with excitement.
Xiao Wang didn't have time to think about what Xiao Guang's "now" really meant; he simply acted according to his own plan.
"Gallade, continue using Psychic Blade to break up the air cutter, then use Vacuum Wave on Curly-ear!"
If Xiaowang can block the final air cut, he can secure the final victory.
However, what happened next left Xiao Wang, the audience, and even Bai An in shock and silence.
The air cut, which had never succeeded before, actually hit Gallade's body this time, in this most crucial moment.
"How is this possible?!"
Xiao Wang stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before him in disbelief.
However, after carefully observing the path of the air-cutting attack, Xiao Wang realized that Togekiss's attack this time was completely different from before.
The air cutters didn't come straight at you, but rather surged in from all directions under Pokkis's exquisite control.
The sheer number and the treacherous paths of these attacks meant that even Gallade would struggle to defend against them all. If Gallade missed even one, it would be met with an endless barrage of air-cutting attacks that could almost destroy it in one fell swoop.
"AI!" Gallade cried out in pain as its body was struck by countless air slashes, staggering backward.
Despite Gallade's continued efforts to resist, it was ultimately no match for the sheer number of Air Cutters.
Seeing Xiaowang's completely incomprehensible expression, Xiaoguang imitated how Xiaowang had explained the quick attack combo to her before, and explained it to her in the same way:
"Although your Gallade can break through all the air cutters with such a dense attack range, many of its actions are too unnecessary and the range of motion is too large."
"If it were the previous Togekiss, it would indeed still be difficult to attack Gallade," Xiao Guang continued, her tone tinged with a hint of reminiscence and longing.
"But after fighting the Lizard King, Togekiss had long been accustomed to the tricky enemies that could easily shatter its air-cutting attacks, and had already improved its air-cutting path based on this!"
Although Xiaowang's Gallade is very powerful, as long as Xiaoguang recalls that green figure in the castle backyard that morning, which could easily break through all of Togekiss's attacks with a mere gesture, Xiaoguang will realize that compared to it, this Gallade is still too weak.
Togekiss let out a confident cry in the sky, clearly sharing the same feelings and thoughts as Dawn.
Although Xiaowang didn't know what the "Lizard King" that Xiaoguang was talking about was, she understood that the current situation had begun to tilt completely in Xiaoguang's favor.
Are we going to lose?
Although Xiao Wang had no intention of giving up, whenever she saw the radiant figure of Xiao Guang on the other side of the stage, a thought would inevitably arise in her mind.
This is.
What does a champion look like?
"Tokiss, one more time! Keep using Air Cutter!" Hikari pressed her advantage, aiming to secure the victory in the final two rounds.
Togekiss flapped its wings again, unleashing even more air slicing attacks from all angles, relentlessly assaulting Gallade.
Gallade tried to adjust its defensive stance, but Togekiss had completely seen through it. No matter how it adjusted, there were always a few air cuts that could break through its defenses.
"Charming Meow! Use Thunderbolt to support Gallade!" Nozomi urgently ordered.
Now, Bumblebee is no longer important; we must rescue Gallade as soon as possible.
Charming Cat immediately stopped chasing Curly Ears and instead released a powerful electric current towards Togekiss.
However, this is exactly what Xiaoguang was hoping for.
"Curly Ear, now! Freeze Beam!"
“MI!”
It seems that it's time for Curly Ears, who has been constantly suppressed, to explode.
Curly Ears immediately released a cold, icy blue beam of light from its mouth, striking the unsuspecting Charming Cat.
Charming Cat was directly hit by the freezing beam, and a thin layer of ice immediately formed on its body, severely affecting its ability to move.
Even if the boulder blocking the center of the stage is shattered at this moment, even if Gallade and Meowth, this fast-attack duo, meet again.
But this was already too late to reverse Xiaowang's defeat.
Bathed in the spotlight, Xiao Guang was so bright and dazzling at this moment, exuding an aura that seemed to be able to overcome everything with every move.
"Togekiss, use Aura Sphere on Gallade! Clytek, use Ice Beam again!"
Xiao Guang suddenly waved his hand and began issuing the final order for the all-out attack.
The cheers and Xiao Wangwang's anxious commands seemed to fall completely silent at that moment.
Then.
Two violent explosions echoed across the stage.
When the smoke cleared, Gallade and Greetia were lying on the ground, unable to battle.
