Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 657: Advance to the semi-finals, Chihong’s discovery!

"Has it been seen through?"

"Even if we use Clear the Thick Fog to clear the grass field now, given the ability of the mount goat, I'm afraid it will be used again immediately."

"It's okay. Even if clearing the thick fog doesn't work, as long as I let Charizard land on the ground, it can still be healed by the green grass field." Du thought.

In this way, we can stabilize the situation first and then slowly find a way to break it.

The second battle officially begins!
This time, Du chose to proceed cautiously and let Charizard use fire-attribute moves for long-range attacks.

The mount goat extended huge vine whips from both sides of its body and began to chase the Charizard fiercely.

The Charizard was forced to stop spraying flames, flapping its wings quickly, and circled in the sky above the Palace Gate Arena.

It chased, it fled, and the scene became tense for a while.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

I saw the mount goat controlling a vine whip and quickly flying to the front, forming a pincer attack with the other one.

The Charizard was unable to dodge and was hit hard on the spot, falling to the ground in a mess from mid-air.

Charizard, hit!
Seeing the Charizard fall down, Du felt inexplicably relieved.

[Green Grass Field] The characteristics of this move can not only increase the power of Grass-attribute Pokémon's moves, but also restore the physical strength of Pokémon on the ground.

There is a green grassland, and as long as Charizard lands on the ground, its injuries will be healed.

Not only Du, but all the trainers watching the battle on site thought so.

However, the next second, these people were shocked to find that the green grass field did not allocate energy to provide treatment for Charizard!
No, it's impossible!"

"The Green Grass Field didn't treat Charizard?"

"What on earth is going on?"

Everyone frowned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

However, there are still many powerful and talented trainers who have deduced the reason.

Judging from the ability of the mount goat to instantly activate the green grass field as soon as it appeared, these mount goats have already reached a superb level of control over grass energy!
Because of this, they can precisely control the energy in the green grass field, only replenishing themselves, but not their opponents...

"To think that someone could do this..." Someone in the audience couldn't help but murmur.

Du's eyes kept changing.

He frowned and suddenly remembered that his Gyarados didn't seem to have recovered just now?
He always thought it was because Gyarados was floating and didn't touch the ground!

Now it seems that is not the case at all!
"Mount Goat, let's end it!" Naoki's voice sounded from the opposite side.

Du looked up suddenly, and then saw an extremely terrifying power erupting from the goat he was riding.

In an instant, the earth seemed to resonate, and green vines surged out like pythons.

Then, he attacked the Charizard.

"Charizard, Flash Charge!" Du responded immediately.

Hot flames surged out of the Charizard's body and it flapped its wings, trying to break out of the encirclement of the giant vines.

However, those vine whips seemed not to be afraid of flames at all. Even when ignited by flames, they did not stop at all.

In the blink of an eye, the Charizard was submerged by the huge vine whip.

After a moment, the vine whip dissipated.

What appeared in front of everyone was a Charizard that had lost its ability to fight.

"Charizard loses the ability to fight, Naoki wins the second match!"

Du's face was solemn. He looked at his Charizard and then put it back into the Poké Ball.

The plan failed.

In that case, we can only rely on that!
In the final battle, Du took out the third Poké Ball without hesitation.

Seeing this, Naoki also chose to change Pokémon and switched back to the goat mount that he had used five times for bodybuilding.

The real world is different from the game. These enhanced status effects will not disappear immediately even if the Pokémon is replaced. They will only disappear automatically when the duration is up.

Therefore, the current goat mount still has the buffs brought by five bodybuilding sessions.

Five times of fitness + grass fur + green grass field, even if it is a real legendary Pokémon, the current mount goat is capable of fighting.

At least his combat power has far surpassed Suicune.

Watari has already thrown out the third Pokémon.

Along with a flash of white light, what appeared in front of everyone was his most powerful Dragonite!

The giant wristband on Du's wrist suddenly burst out with a huge purple energy.

He stretched out his hand and took Dragonite back into the Poké Ball, and then a magical scene happened.

In Du's hand, the ordinary red and white ball suddenly emitted a purple light and continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It didn't stop until it became so big that it needed to be held with both hands.

Du glanced at the goat mount opposite him, and then threw the huge Poké Ball with force.

"Boom" sound.

Along with the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, a super-giant Dragonite nearly forty meters tall landed on the battlefield with a bang.

Gigantamax Dragonite!
"Player Adu made Dragonite Gigantamax!" The commentator's tone was filled with shock.

Even though you have seen many Pokémon grow to Gigantamax, you still can't help but be amazed when you see this spectacular sight again.

The moves of Gigantamax Pokémon will transform into Extreme Gigantamax moves, and extremely terrifying power will erupt from their bodies.

"Does Adu want Dragonite to unleash its strongest attack to defeat Naoki's mount, the goat?" the commentator spoke at a rapid speed.

On the field, Du had already begun to give orders.

"Dragonite, Ultra Lightning!"

The extremely huge energy and electric energy in Dragonite's body merged with each other, as if producing some kind of resonance.

Almost in an instant, a large black cloud gathered over the Palace Gate Arena, which was as big as a football field.

Terrible thunder and lightning brewed inside, and then aimed at the mount goat below.

"Mount goat, go all out and use that move!" Naoki narrowed his eyes and gave the order in a deep voice.

"Meh!"

The mount goat moved, and it began to run towards Dragonite at an extremely fast speed.

A dazzling green light gathered in its mouth, and in full view of everyone, it turned into an incomparably huge "Holy Sword of Grass"!
“That move…!” everyone was shocked.

The goat mount held the holy sword in its mouth and its eyes were fixed on Dragonite.

The next second, huge lightning fell from the sky and covered the entire arena in an instant.

The mount goat leaped high in the lightning, the huge sword blade slashed across, and then landed steadily on the ground.

Strands of electric current spread along the goat's feet into the ground, helping it to alleviate the damage caused by the giant lightning.

Naoki knew that this was not Watari's real purpose!
Because I wanted to knock down the mount goat with one blow, it would be more appropriate to use the Max Ice.

The purpose of his action was to destroy the green grass under his feet!
The giant lightning left behind wisps of yellow electric light, which destroyed the original green grass field and then replaced it.

The grass field was transformed into an electrical field!
"Dragonite, now is the time!" Du shouted loudly: "Maximum Ice!"

"Mount the goat, do it again!" Naoki said at the same time.

Even though Dragonite has four times the resistance to grass, after being strengthened by the World Tree, the grass energy of the mount goat is now enough to ignore these resistances!
On the field, two Pokémon moved at the same time.

The powerful force of ice suddenly erupted, and in an instant, countless huge pieces of ice fell from the sky.

"Boom!" The mount goat held the holy sword in its mouth and flew back and forth at a high speed, its eyes locked on the Dragonite on the opposite side.

At the last second before the huge block of ice fell, he suddenly jumped up.

The Holy Sword of Grass slashed across!

The next second, the maximal energy in Dragonite's body instantly got out of control.

There was a burst of explosions, and a painful expression appeared on the face of the Max-Kailong. Its gigantic body was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye!!!

In the blink of an eye, it returned to its original appearance.

Du frowned. Even so, it still won’t work?

"Dragonite has lost its ability to fight!" Deng Pei blew the whistle in his hand: "This battle is won by the mount goat!"

The whole place was silent, as if they had not yet recovered from the fight.

All the spectators looked at the goat, which, despite being covered in wounds, still landed steadily and looked at its opponent with a majestic look.

That mount goat...defeated the Gigantamaxed Dragonite with just two moves, and that was despite being at a disadvantage in attributes!
How does it do this?
And that never-before-seen move, can the goat mount really master that move?

You know, mount goats are just very ordinary Pokémon. Their ecological habits, food distribution, and characteristic moves have long been thoroughly studied by Pokémon Doctor.

And now, this mount goat actually used a move that had never been seen before!
"The match is over, congratulations to Naoki for successfully advancing to the semi-finals!" the commentator said excitedly.

After he finished speaking, the audience came back to their senses.

Gradually, excited shouts broke out in the arena.

"Come back, mount goat!" Naoki took the mount goat back and said to it, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then he looked up at Du opposite him.

Watari had calmed down by now. He crossed his arms and looked at Naoki with helplessness and admiration.
"Hmm...! Although I am reluctant to accept this, you are really good at commanding Pokémon to fight! I accept defeat sincerely."

He is no longer the trainer who would get angry because of losing the game a few years ago.

Compared to the frustration of failure, being able to fight against excellent trainers made him feel happier.

"If you have the chance, you can come to my hometown. I also have many dragon Pokémon. Maybe we can have a dragon showdown then." Naoki said.

A'du was slightly stunned, and then he thought of Naoki's group of deliverymen, Dragonite. He smiled and nodded: "Okay."

The two of them left the stage one after another. Dan Di grinned and gave Naoki a thumbs up.

Shirona and Daigo pondered for a moment. If they met Naoki next, how would they deal with that special mount goat?

After A'du nodded to a few others, they left the palace gate arena.

However, Naoki did not leave immediately.

Because the quarterfinals have all ended, the draw ceremony for the semi-finals will be held next.

A few people chose to stay backstage and watch.

This time, President Loz did not come to draw lots, but was replaced by referee Deng Pei.

After a short while, the result came out.

The schedule for the semi-finals is as follows:

October 10th at 10 am, Dante vs. Girona

October 10th at 11:9 am, Naoki vs. Daigo
Seeing this result, Daigo immediately turned and looked at Naoki.

Naoki smiled and said, "When the time comes, I'll ask for your guidance."

Daigo: "..."

Naoki said goodbye to the three people, then left the Gongmen Arena and returned to the ranch.

However, after searching for a long time in the pasture, there was no sign of Xiaoshu.

Naoki was a little confused, so he went to his sister Ai Guanshi and asked, "Where's Xiaoshu?"

Why didn’t his sweet daughter come out to greet him?
"Ai Ai!" The younger sister Ai Guanshi pointed to the sky.

Naoshige immediately understood that the child had run to the World Tree again!
A red figure appeared in his mind, and Naoki thought about it and decided to go to the World Tree first.

*
World Tree, in the Pokémon Tavern.

The live broadcast on Rotom's phone has ended.

The Pokémon in the tavern were cheering and celebrating for Naoki's victory.

Red and Pikachu stood on the periphery, thinking about the battle just now, and couldn't help but feel thoughtful.

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from children outside.

Red was slightly startled, but saw that several Pokémon seemed very happy after hearing the voice, and immediately ran out happily.

"Pikapi?"

"..."

After a long silence, Red took Pikachu out to check the situation.

As soon as he went out and saw the scene outside clearly, Chihong was stunned.

Not far away, the legendary Phoenix Guards, Entei, Suicune and Raikou, had arrived here at some point.

And on the leader, Emperor Yan, sat a little girl with a pigtail in her hair!
That is……

The little girl seemed very popular.

She flapped her legs as if trying to get down.

Yan Di noticed her intention and bent down considerately, allowing the little girl to slide off his body.

As soon as she landed, the girl pounced on a furry nine-tailed fox and played with them happily.

As Red was watching, the three legendary Pokémon over there noticed him.

They looked over here, but when they saw that he was not dangerous, they withdrew their gaze and looked at the little girl again.

Chihong was very confused.

There are actually other people on this towering tree.

Who is she?
Could it be the child of the mysterious man named Naoki?
Just as Chihong was thinking, the little girl noticed him.

I saw them stop playing and look over curiously with their big round eyes.

crimson:"……"

It was at this time that Naoki came to the World Tree.

When he saw the little tree, he immediately felt relieved.

Naoki walked up to his baby daughter and picked her up, then looked at Chihong and asked:
"Is your training going well?"

Hearing this, Chihong couldn't help but recall his explorations over the past few days.

This giant tree was much bigger than he had imagined.

He rode the Charizard to the periphery and found that this place was actually suspended in the sky and there were countless spaces inside.

For example, there is an island in the lower layer where many Dragonites live.

Further down was a hot volcanic area, where he saw Moltres and a huge Pokémon he had never seen before.

He hadn't had time to explore the lower levels.

But what is certain is that the aura on the other party is undoubtedly the aura that only legendary Pokémon have!
Combining the Ho-Oh on the upper level and the pitch-black legendary Pokémon, Red even suspected that there were one or two legendary Pokémon living on every level of this tree!
