Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 516 A Choice Under Dire Circumstances: Darkor's Third Pokémon

Latios, Dragon Pulse!

Latios let out a clear cry, and violent dragon-type energy surged around its azure body. Soon, that energy condensed into a powerful dragon-type wave that tore through the air and roared towards the hippo below!

A cold glint flashed behind Koping's glasses, as if he had anticipated Dakdo's change of tactics. His command rang out almost simultaneously with Dakdo's voice: "Hippopotamus, dig a hole!"

The hippopotamus's massive body jerked violently, and its forelimbs simultaneously dug downwards, its entire body instantly plunging into the ground beneath its feet like a giant drill.

During this time, violent sand and dust shot into the sky like fountains, forming a thick sand wall that firmly blocked the Dragon's Wave's path.

"boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion resounded through the sky as the Dragon Pulse slammed into the sand wall formed by the excavation, instantly tearing the thick sand wall apart and turning it into dust that filled the air. The remaining force continued to fall towards the ground.

However, the hippopotamus had already vanished from its spot, successfully dodging the fatal blow.

Before the dust had even settled, Kaoping's counterattack came one after another.

"Now! Sharp Stone Attack!"

As Kaoping gave his calm and decisive command, the ground suddenly trembled.

The hippopotamus burst forth from the ground like a giant beast lurking deep in the desert, stirring up towering sandstorms.

Countless sharp rocks, along with the dust they carried as they appeared, formed an impenetrable cage of stone spikes, and with a piercing shriek that tore through the air, they flew toward Latios in the sky.

If this move hits, it could indeed cause Latios some trouble.

However, after seeing Latios' performance in the previous round, no one in the audience thought that Latios would be hit by such an attack.

Latios let out a cry and then displayed flight skills that were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

It nimbly weaved through the dense rocks, each dodge precise to the millimeter, narrowly avoiding the vast majority of attacks.

However, with a slight twitch of Kaoping's fingertips, the hippopotamus immediately changed its attack pattern, and the stones attacked by the sharp stones became scattered.

Although the power of a single point is reduced, the coverage area is increased significantly.

With such coverage, even with Latios's agility, it was difficult for him to completely evade.

A few broken rocks inevitably grazed its wings, but this only slowed Latios down slightly and did not cause any effective damage.

But what Koping was really concerned about wasn't whether this attack on Latios would harm him, but rather—

"yawn!"

The real killer move is hidden here.

The hippopotamus opened its mouth wide and let out a huge yawn.

An invisible bubble drifted silently toward Latios in the air.

"Innocent."

This time, Darko was not as careless as before. While Latios was dodging, Darko was constantly on guard against any possible moves by Kopin.

"Latios, use Mind Blast to break through it!"

A sharp glint flashed in Latios's eyes, and its head instantly glowed with a dazzling pink light, which then enveloped its entire body.

Enveloped in the energy of the Mind Hammer, Latios swooped down and tore the bubble apart the instant it collided with the bubble created by the yawn.

But it's not over yet.

The power of the Mind Hammer was still immense, and with an unstoppable momentum, it slammed into the hippopotamus beast on the ground.

"Thump—!!!"

The dull thud resounded like a booming bell, vibrating everyone's eardrums.

The hippopotamus let out a painful growl and staggered backward.

"It's not over yet!"

A cold glint flashed in Dakdo's eyes; he would not give Kaoping any chance to breathe.

"Latios, use Dragon Pulse again!"

"..."

Kaoping took a deep breath, but his gaze behind his glasses became even more determined.

He knew he no longer needed to hide.

If this drags on any longer, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to us.

The hippopotamus had almost lost the ability to continue resisting.

Rather than prolonging our lives in vain, we should do one last great thing.

"Use your brute force!"

Holding on?

If you want to avoid this attack, just keep using Dig or Hold. What's the point of trying to tough it out? Isn't this just forcing the hippopotamus's stamina to its lowest level?

Even if we survive this round of attacks, what will we do next?

No one could understand Kaoping's thoughts.

"BOOM—!!!"

A violent explosion, accompanied by a cloud of yellow sand, swept across half the field once again, and the powerful impact even caused the entire battlefield to tremble slightly.

However, as the aftershocks of the dragon's wave gradually dissipated and the dust settled slightly, the hippopotamus's body remained standing in place.

The hippopotamus was covered in charred marks, and its massive body swayed precariously, as if it would collapse at any moment.

But its cloudy eyes burned with an astonishing will, and its gaze remained fixed on Latios, just as it had at the beginning.

"Now's the time! Let's go!"

Just as everyone was wondering what would happen next, Kaoping, who was usually calm on the field, suddenly let out a loud shout, as if he was releasing all the suppressed emotions he had accumulated in the game.

"Roar--!!!"

The hippopotamus on the field suddenly raised its head, opened its huge mouth, and let out a deafening roar.

This is?

Just as everyone was wondering, Dakdo on the field looked surprised.

A roar!?

This guy actually wants to force his Latios back using this method?!

"Get out of the way!"

Although Darko reacted quickly enough to get Latios flying into the sky, it was ultimately too late.

The roar's sound waves traveled at extremely high speed, striking Latios almost instantly upon being emitted.

Latios felt an irresistible force envelop him, and his body involuntarily turned into a red light, forcibly returned to the Poké Ball at Darkor's waist.

The next second, another Poké Ball on Darkrope suddenly opened, releasing the Pokémon inside.

It was a Pokémon with a majestic appearance, its entire body covered in orange-red fur.

And this Pokémon is just as well-known as Darkrai's first two Pokémon.

"Entei?! Is this Darkrai's third Pokémon?!"

In the preparation area, Ah Xun looked at the Yan Emperor, who was standing majestically on the field, and the shock in his expression was beyond words.
