Chapter 522 Ice Ghost Guard VS Roserade
Chapter 522 Ice Ghost Guard VS Roserade
"Shh-!"
After Ash's Staraptor narrowly missed Ash's Staraptor, Ash's Staraptor, having used all its strength in close combat, concentrated all its power in front of it. After the attack missed, its body inevitably stiffened for a moment.
This opening presents a huge opportunity for the Starhawk, which has already completed its turn but remains in the Brave Bird attack state.
"That's it!"
"Mmm—!"
Little Ash's Staraptor seized the opportunity perfectly.
The body, which contained all the power of the Brave Bird's fierce attack, slammed hard into the back of the Amukh Eagle, who was completely unprepared.
"M-K?!"
Axun's M'k Eagle let out a short, painful cry, then completely lost control of its body, tumbling helplessly in the air a few times before plummeting straight to the ground.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, Ah Xun's Mk Eagle crashed heavily to the ground, its eyes now swirling in the air, completely incapacitated.
The referee quickly stepped forward to check Ash's Staraptor's condition, then loudly announced, "Ash's Staraptor is unable to battle! Ash wins the first round!"
"Damn it! Is there such a flying technique?! I got tricked!" Ah Xun scratched his hair in frustration before looking at the Starhawk lying on the field and weakly raising his Poké Ball.
"Come back, Starhawk, thank you for your hard work..."
Although he was a little disappointed by the defeat in the first round, Ah Xun quickly raised his head, his eyes regained their fervor, and he tightly gripped the second Poké Ball in his hand.
Ash recalled his Staraptor as before, and then Ash took out his second Poké Ball.
At the referee's signal, both sides simultaneously sent out their second Pokémon.
"Go, Roseredo!"
"I choose you! Ice Demon Guardian!"
Upon seeing Glalie appear, Ash's expression instantly changed. He swayed as he pointed at Ash and habitually began his rambling:
"Damn it! You actually managed to guess a Pokémon that counters Roserade! This isn't fair! There should be a fine! A fine of 100... no! 1000 million yuan!"
Despite complaining about the unfavorable attribute, Ah Xun showed no intention of changing his Pokémon.
His gaze, however, became even more resolute.
For Ashun, Pokémon battles inevitably involve challenging opponents with the opposite type.
Winning in a battle against an opponent with the opposite elemental attribute is what makes it truly exciting.
This is also where Asuka, Shinji, and Kohei differ.
If either of them encountered this situation, they would definitely switch their Pokémon first.
But Ah Xun will choose to go all out.
"The match begins—!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Ah Xun followed his instructions.
"Roserede, strike first, use Seed Gun!"
Roseredo's hands instantly glowed with a yellow light from the stamens of the roses.
The next second, countless seeds, glowing with a yellow light like bullets, shot towards the Ice Demon Guardian in mid-air like a torrential rain.
The dense attack trajectory seemed to have almost completely blocked all the space where Ice Ghost could dodge.
Despite the barrage of attacks, Ash remained calm and clearly conveyed the command: "Gladiator, Shadow Clone."
"KuKu~!"
A cunning glint flashed in the Ice Demon's eyes, and then its body instantly became blurry.
In the blink of an eye, one after another, Ice Ghost Guardians that looked exactly like it appeared around it and drifted around the arena at extremely high speeds.
"Da da da da da—!"
The seed machine gun continuously struck the phantoms of the ice ghosts, producing a series of dull thuds.
Once the clones are hit, they turn into wisps of smoke and disappear into the air. However, Ash continues to command Glalie to create more clones, which float around Roserade, perfectly concealing Glalie's true form.
Despite Roserade's powerful Seed Gun, its attack was completely ineffective in this situation, like a stone thrown into the sea.
"Damn it! What an annoying move!"
Ah Xun looked at the Ice Ghost Phantoms darting around the arena, scratched his hair again, and seemed a little annoyed.
But he quickly recovered, his mind racing, and he immediately came up with a solution.
"Since single-target attacks won't hit, let's use area-of-effect attacks to force it out!"
A glint of light flashed in Axun's eyes as he commanded rapidly, "Roserad, use Magic Leaf to keep attacking, covering the entire field! Then, when the opportunity arises, use Giga Drain to pull it out!"
"Rose!"
Roseredo understood immediately, and the roses in her hands once again shone brightly.
This time, instead of dense seeds, there were countless magical leaves that shimmered with emerald green light like darts.
These magical leaves, as if they had eyes, scattered and flew in all directions at all sorts of tricky angles towards all the Ice Ghost Phantoms on the field, sweeping indiscriminately across the area.
At the same time, several thick green energy vines extended from Roseradore's feet, winding and crawling across the ground like flexible tentacles, in conjunction with the magical leaves flying everywhere, attempting to capture the Ice Ghost's true form.
The magical leaves continuously shattered the illusions of the Ice Ghost Guardian, and the number of illusions on the field began to decrease visibly.
The vines of ultimate absorption, like venomous snakes hunting their prey, relentlessly coiled around the clones whose movements were disrupted by the magical leaves, shattering them one by one.
Under Roseredo's wide-range firepower, Glalie's ability to create clones quickly couldn't keep up with the speed at which they shattered. After the last clone on the field was cleaved in two by Magic Leaf, Glalie's true form was exposed to Roseredo.
"That's it! Let's go!"
"Rose!"
Upon discovering Glalie's true form, Roseradore did not hesitate and immediately manipulated all her Magic Leaves and Giga Drain vines to rush towards Glalie.
Although Ah Xun was already smug at this moment, thinking that he had driven Ice Ghost Guardian to a dead end.
But he seemed to have forgotten that Ice Ghost Guardian had never used any offensive means since its appearance, even though Ice Ghost Guardian itself had an attribute advantage.
Faced with the oncoming magic leaf and ultimate absorption, Ice Demon Guardian showed no fear; instead, a smug smile appeared on his somewhat terrifying lips.
It was this smile that made Ah Xun realize that something seemed amiss.
But he couldn't give the command in time. Ash on the other side shouted first, "Gladiator! Use Ice Beam at full power!"
