Chapter 747 The Tournament Finals, the Victor! Here!!!
"please!"
Xiao Guang throws out the last Poké Ball.
boom!
Unlike Diancie's stunning entrance, this Poké Ball bounced away, revealing a small, upright figure at the edge of the field.
It has a round, plump body and a distinctive yellow beak that is slightly upturned.
The deep blue fur on its back and head is like a well-fitting cloak, and with its hands behind its back, it exudes an aura of domineering confidence that "everyone here is trash."
Admiral, Bogarman!
Piplup: It's finally my turn to shine! Diamond Princess, Mythical Pokémon, those are just foreplay. In the end, it's all up to me, the General, to finish things off.
"It's Piplup! Pikachu! I choose you in the end!"
On the other side, Ash looked at Pikachu on his shoulder.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu leaped off Ash's shoulder in one stride, and golden electricity immediately crackled and flickered on the electric sacs on its cheeks.
Fully charged, ready for battle at any time!
Pikachu: It's finally my turn! Greninja and Charizard are just passersby! I'll be the grand finale!
A commotion arose in the audience, with many people giving "that's it?" looks.
"Pikachu? Piplup?"
"Um... isn't this lineup a bit too simple?"
"That's right, Piplup is at least a starter Pokémon in its initial form, what can Pikachu do?"
"I'm from Kanto. Pikachu is as common as stray dogs on the street where I'm from. You can hit three of them with one ball."
"Looks like they've run out of energy too, and in the end they can only send out their starter Pokémon."
"I feel so sorry for Miss Xiaoguang, did she use up all her Pokémon?"
The audience sighed; compared to the visual feast of the previous shows, these two Pokémon did seem rather "simple" to them.
It's like watching the final battle of Avengers: Endgame and then suddenly switching to Peppa Pig – the sense of loss is immense.
In the VIP room, Yan Kai witnessed this scene and seemed to have finally found his area of expertise, his tone carrying a hint of superiority from a senior:
"As expected, young people are just young people, they don't have enough stock."
The reason why these Elite Four members are called Elite Four members is because we have a whole host of Elite Four level Pokémon, so we are absolutely not afraid of any long battle.
He can produce six or eight, even sixteen; there's still stock in the warehouse.
Dorasena gently set down her teacup and smiled:
"Who knows? These two Pokémon must be quite extraordinary to be chosen as the finale by these two kids."
"Sometimes, the finest ingredients only require the simplest cooking methods. The final dish is often the one prepared with the most care."
Zhi Mi watched the scene intently.
Karuno rested her chin on her hand.
She knew about Ash's past battles and knew that this seemingly ordinary electric mouse was not simple.
Pachira remained silent, simply watching the scene with a faint smile playing on his lips.
"The final battle of the finals begins!!"
The referee rode his Shielded Swordsman into the air and forcefully waved his flag down.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
The battle begins, and Ash chooses the most classic starting move: Thunderbolt! It's also Pikachu's signature move.
"Pikachu, Chu...!"
Pikachu took a deep breath, and its electric sacs on its cheeks flashed with golden light! Thick golden electricity shot out like an angry dragon, instantly spanning half the field!
However, Xiao Guang's response surprised everyone.
She didn't let Bogaman dodge, nor did she counterattack; instead...
"Bogarman, Ironhead!"
"Poga!"
A flash of light appeared above Bogarman's head! Its entire head was instantly covered with a layer of silvery-white steel, as if it were wearing a steel helmet!
Then it lowered its head, and its body began to spin rapidly, like a blue top! It crashed straight into the oncoming golden current!
Sizzle sizzle—!!!
One hundred thousand volts struck Piplup, and most of the current flowed down Piplup's iron head to the ground, leaving charred marks.
Meanwhile, Pogaman in the center was completely unharmed, except for a slight sticking up of his tuft of hair due to a minor electrical leak!
"Oh? That works too?"
Ash stared in disbelief. To be honest, it was the first time he had ever seen Thunderbolt be broken like this.
Seeing Ash's shocked expression, Hikari couldn't help but chuckle:
"This is a move unique to Piplup!"
"Poga Poga!"
Piplup stopped spinning, used its wings to smooth the slightly upturned downy hair on its head caused by the electric shock, and then gave Pikachu a classic "Dragon King smile".
Hmph, didn't expect that, did you! This general has received special training!
Thanks to that stubborn kid from before, this general is now so stubborn that he can even arm wrestle with a Warhammer Dragon!
A mere 100,000 volts, nothing more than a cheap trick.
In the audience, Xiaoyun almost spat out her drink.
Goodness, Piplup has really mastered Iron Head! Even Steel-type Pokémon can't match it.
I'd call you the strongest headstrong kid.
On the field, Ash, being a seasoned veteran, quickly adjusted his mindset.
"But what if I do this? Pikachu, Thunder Ball!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu flicked its tail, and a golden ball of electricity shot towards Piplup!
The electric ball spun, its surface crackling with electric arcs, its power more concentrated than 100,000 volts!
Xiao Guang waved his arm:
"Charge at Piplup, use Iron Head!"
"Poga!"
Bogarman's lips curled into a "just what I wanted" smile.
Then Ironhead reappeared, and the entire penguin launched like a cannonball! It crashed straight into the electric ball!
boom--! ! !
The electric ball collided head-on with the iron head! It exploded instantly!
The electric ball exploded on Piplup's iron head, and Piplup continued forward through the explosion, charging straight at Pikachu!
Holy crap, that's fierce! Is that penguin's head made of steel?
Everyone gasped in shock.
"Pikachu! Use Iron Tail!"
Ash is like someone who can't fight anyone head-on! His Pikachu has also been trained!
"Pickup!"
Pikachu spun around, its tail soaring high! The once soft tail was instantly covered with a metallic sheen, and then slashed down fiercely!
Iron Head VS Iron Tail!
Stubborn at the beginning vs. stubborn at the end!
clang--!!!!
A deafening clang of metal clashing echoed throughout the arena! Sparks flew everywhere!
The two Pokémon were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, their powers clashing and neither willing to give an inch!
Bogarman: Little Pi is something else, his tail's pretty tough.
Pikachu: The little penguin's head is really made of iron; it made my tail go numb.
Ultimately, both were knocked back and slid backward a few meters.
Ash quickly seized the opportunity when Piplup had just landed and hadn't yet regained its footing:
"Use 100,000 volts!"
"Pikachu!!!"
Pikachu quickly stopped its backward slide with its feet, and golden lightning shot out from its body once again!
Zizi!
This time, it used its full power, with a blindingly bright light that instantly covered the entire front half of the field!
But Xiao Guang reacted even faster, speaking almost at the same time Pikachu was charging up:
"Bogarman! Blizzard!"
"Poga!"
Bogarman drew a circle with both hands in front of him, a gesture resembling the starting position of Tai Chi.
In an instant, a biting, icy wind arose out of nowhere, roaring as it erupted and collided head-on with the oncoming golden lightning!
Blizzard vs. Thunderbolt!
Boom! ...
Water vapor filled the air, and electric sparks flew everywhere, enveloping the entire venue in a mist and electric light.
"A flash of lightning!"
Ash's voice came, and Pikachu transformed into a white light, quickly closing the distance!
Piplup stood still, shaking its head from side to side, trying to catch Pikachu's trail, but it couldn't keep up at all.
Xiao Guang frowned slightly: "Calm down, Piplup, use Whirlpool!"
Since we can't catch you, we'll leave you nowhere to escape! Area-of-effect attacks, perfect for dealing with all sorts of fancy tricks!
"Poga!"
Bogarman pressed his hands to the ground, and water instantly surged forth, swirling to form a huge vortex with a diameter of over ten meters!
Pikachu was moving at high speed when suddenly its foot slipped and it was sucked into a vortex!
"Pickup!"
Pikachu cried out in surprise and was instantly swallowed up by the rushing water, like falling into a fully-running washing machine, being swept around and spun wildly by the water.
"Pikachu, don't lose! Thunderbolt!"
Xiao Zhi shouted from behind.
"Pikachu...!"
Pikachu struggles in the water, but its Electric Sac still bursts with electricity!
Sizzle sizzle—!!!
The electric current instantly filled the entire vortex, turning the whole vortex golden.
Even Bogarman was shocked by the electric shock, his hair standing on end, instantly transforming him from a majestic general into a blue hedgehog with his fur standing on end!
"Foam Ray!"
“Poga…!”
Bogaman gritted his teeth and persevered, cursing under his breath.
It spews out dense foam from its mouth! This foam merges into the tidal vortex.
Water and electricity are mixed, and then foam is added! The energy becomes increasingly unstable, and finally...
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!
Unable to withstand the clash of internal energy, the vortex exploded with a deafening roar, sending Pikachu and Piplup flying backwards to either side!
Boom!
Two muffled thuds.
The two Pokémon crashed to the ground and rolled several times before finally coming to a stop.
“Poga…!”
"Pikachu...!"
After a while, the two Pokémon struggled to their feet, both panting heavily, clearly exhausted.
No matter how strong they are, their low health is always a major weakness.
Xiao Guang bit his lip as he looked at Bogaman's exhausted appearance.
We can't delay any longer; we must decide the outcome with a single blow!
She raised her wrist and showed off the Z bracelet.
"Bogarman! Are you ready?"
Bogarman nodded vigorously, its eyes resolute. No matter the outcome, it would give it its all.
Xiao Guang took a deep breath and began to assume the Z-Move stance, his entire body exploding with power, and the gem on the Z-Ring burst forth with a dazzling blue light!
"Z-Move, Phantom Water Turbulence - Secret Sword Slash!"
"Poga—!!!"
Bogarman shouted, "Z Energy, pour into my body!" His entire body erupted with a dazzling blue light.
A blue lightsaber made of pure water energy condensed from its small wings!
The sword was about one meter long, and its blade was as transparent as water, with wave-like patterns flowing inside!
"Pikachu! Iron Tail!"
Pikachu's tail was covered in a metallic sheen again, transforming into an iron tail.
But Xiaozhi seemed to think it wasn't enough, and added:
"Stack it on top, stack the electric spheres on top!"
A golden ball of electricity condensed at the tip of Pikachu's tail and then fused with Iron Tail!
Golden electricity crackled around its iron tail, and its power gradually increased, resembling Thor's hammer.
Iron Tail + Electric Ball, double the fun!
The outcome hinges on this one move!
Anyone could tell that these two little guys were about to have a showdown.
Although they are small in size, the power of this attack is probably no less than any of the previous attacks, and may even be stronger.
"Go on!"
Xiao Guang and Xiao Zhi shouted at the same time, their voices overlapping.
"Poga—!!!"
"Pikachu—!!!"
Two Pokémon charge at the same time!
The blue lightsaber sliced through the air, leaving a trail of watery color!
The golden battle axe tore through space, leaving a trail of lightning!
Finally, in the center of the arena, the sword and the tail collided!
Sizzle boom—!!!
The moment of impact, the world changed color!
The entire arena seemed to be filled with lightning, the ground cracked, debris flew everywhere, and shockwaves spread outwards in waves.
People in the front rows of the audience could feel the strong wind blowing on their faces, as if a typhoon had passed through.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is way too much!"
"This power... is absolutely comparable to the last battle between Greninja and Diancie!!"
"Are all the little guys this strong now? Is this really a Pokémon in its initial form?"
"I take back what I just said! These two are anything but ordinary! They're freaking phantom beast larvae!!!"
The arena erupted in uproar; they never expected that two Pokémon in their initial forms could unleash such power.
This isn't some mascots fighting, it's clearly a battle of monsters!
At this moment, Piplup and Pikachu faced off in the center of the field, their swords and tails locked, neither giving an inch.
Bogarman gritted his teeth, the lightsabers on his wings trembling.
Pikachu also gave it its all, the electric light on its tail shining even brighter, and the electric sacs on its cheeks seemed to be smoking.
But Ash suddenly did something unexpected: he pointed his finger at the sky!
"Pikachu, now!!!"
Pikachu raised its head and looked up at the sky.
At this moment, dark clouds had already filled the sky above the stadium, an unusual phenomenon caused by the collision just now.
Hikari instantly understood Ash's intention:
"Oh no! Pigasman! Retreat!"
But it was too late.
"Pickup!"
The electric ball on Pikachu's tail suddenly exploded, turning into countless electric snakes that shot into the sky and connected with the lightning in the dark clouds!
It's like a lightning rod, or a lightning protection rod used in reverse.
Boom! ...
The next moment, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky!
The lightning bolt was over three meters in diameter, as if it had drawn divine lightning from the sky; the scene was terrifying!
Boom boom boom boom—!!!
The next instant, a terrifying explosion of lightning engulfed everything in the arena!
Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the field.
.......
The smoke and dust from the explosion gradually dissipated.
In the center of the field, there was a complete mess.
A crater five meters in diameter was blasted into the ground, and smoke was still rising from it, emitting a burnt smell, as if it had been hit by a missile.
“Pikachu…”
Pikachu climbed out of the pit, panting heavily.
“Poga…”
On the other side, General Bogarman stood unsteadily in the crater, his body covered in wounds, his blue feathers charred black from the electricity.
But it still stood tall, staring at Pikachu with a defiant glint in its eyes.
Pikachu looked at it the same way, without backing down.
The two Pokémon stared at each other, but the next second, Piplup finally couldn't hold on any longer, its eyes rolled back, and it fell straight to the ground.
“Poga…”
Then, the referee, riding a Shielded Swordsman, flew forward, carefully examined the creature, and shouted loudly:
"Piplup is unable to battle! Since all six of Dawn's Pokémon are unable to battle, Ash Ketchum wins this match!!!"
On the giant electronic screen above the stadium, Xiao Guang's position instantly turned gray.
Ash's avatar lit up and then occupied the high ground, accompanied by a thoughtful firework effect.
