Chapter 260 Super Latias Reappears, Instantly Defeating Champion Ludicolo! (4k views, 10,000 views daily, requesting monthly votes)
The magical masked cat's crystal armor emitted a green light!

Countless energy rose petals, composed of pure grass-type energy and gleaming with a deadly cold light, condensed and swirled around it, like a blooming wreath of death!
Then it shot out!
puff--

Energy petals exploded one after another on the resilient body of the Lucky Kappa!

However, the champion-level Pokémon's durability was too great. Even with Meowth's all-out attack, the damage it inflicted still felt like a mere scratch.
Xia Chi frowned slightly.

The Magic Masked Cat's weakness of lacking a key physical attack-boosting move like [Swords Dance] is now glaringly obvious!
The physical attack power is insufficient to significantly reduce the opponent's health.

And right now, I don't dare to shift gears easily.
Xia Chi had no choice but to settle for second best: "Seed Machine Gun!"

With a flurry of swipes of its claws, the Magic Masked Cat unleashed a torrent of emerald green seed energy projectiles, as dense as rain!

Although the damage is minor, its high frequency rapidly stacks [Titan's Resolve], building up power for a potential burst of damage later.

Michael remained calm and composed, showing no greed or rashness.

In the time before the tailwind ended, he calmly directed Lucky Kappa to continuously release Magic Leaves.

Fluorescent leaves were precisely cut into the body of the Magical Masked Cat, draining its energy.

Finally, at the very moment the last wave of seed machine guns was unleashed, the howling "tailwind" in mid-air was about to dissipate!

At this moment, although the magic space still exists, its influence is almost negligible!

A glint flashed in Mikoli's eyes; he had finally waited for this perfect opportunity.

"Freezing beam!"

Lucky Kappa's attack speed instantly returned to normal as the spatial influence weakened!
With its mouth wide open, a beam of icy blue light, radiating a chilling aura, shot out like an ice spear, tearing through the air at a speed far exceeding its previous strike, and piercing straight towards the Magic Masked Cat that had just finished its attack!
In the previous exchange of blows, Magic Masked Cat maintained a fairly good condition thanks to its considerable life steal effect.

It has become the capital for transit at this moment.

Xia Chi shouted decisively, "Shift gears!"

The magical masked cat's aura instantly shifted!
The vibrant green grass energy was replaced by a cold, metallic sheen.

boom--

The freezing beam slammed into the magical masked cat, which was covered in star crystal armor and steel-attribute energy, causing a large number of ice shards to explode!

Although the Champion Pokémon's damage was considerable, it ultimately failed to pose a fatal threat due to double damage reduction and type resistance!

And at the very instant the gear shift ended.

hum-

The [Trick Space] force field that enveloped the entire area emitted a low hum, and like a shattered mirror, it completely dissipated into nothingness.

A glint of light flashed in Mikoli's eyes: "One more time!"

One more time! This is a Normal-type status move. The Pokémon that gets hit can only use the previous move three times in a row!
Without a doubt, Mikoli wanted Magic Masked Cat to lock onto a move with a [gear shift] that would deal no damage!

If there is no life drain to restore stamina, with the power of Lucky Kappa's attacks, even just a series of magic leaves would be enough to wipe out the last bit of Magic Masked Cat's health!
That move was undeniably dirty!

But Xia Chi seemed to have anticipated this, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Shadow Claw!"

The end of the space not only signifies the disappearance of the power of rules that bound Lucky Kappa.

This also means that the speed boost brought by Magic Masked Cat [Shift] is significant, instantly liberating you!
The figure of the magical masked cat blurred instantly, its speed soaring to its limit in a flash!
Like a emerald lightning bolt tearing through the shadows, it charged forward with unstoppable force.

During the sprint, the attribute light around her had transformed from a cold metallic silver-gray to a deep, elusive ghostly purple-black!

Ghost-type moves are immune to Normal-type moves, and [Try Again] is ineffective!

Meanwhile, the magical masked cat was already entangled with an incomparably profound, seemingly soul-tearing, netherworld power.

With a piercing shriek, it fiercely grabbed at the nearby Lucky Kappa!
This swift, ghostly claw strike precisely targeted the Lucky Kappa's weak point.

laugh--

A dark purple claw flashed, and a ripped wound appeared on the Lucky Kappa's resilient body!

Hit the mark!

Although there is no type advantage, with a slight increase in physical attack, the damage of a critical hit far exceeds that of previous attacks!
The magical masked cat's body surged with green light, and the strength it had lost from withstanding the freezing beam was instantly absorbed back by this claw!
[Pre-read successful! The prison water is still cunning; it actually predicted that the Lucky Kappa would use "One More Time!"]

[Prison Water: You think you can get dirty with me once and then get dirty a second time? Don't you even know who the real master of dirty tricks is?!]

[The rhythm of Magical Masked Cat is so smooth, it's practically flowing like water!]

[The teamwork between Miaoha and Laoshui is amazing! Their bond must be incredibly strong!]

[A detailed account of the deep bond! (Magneto, the three-in-one monster, smirking.jpg)]

[It's a pity the output was too low, otherwise there would have been a real chance!]

------

Amidst the heated discussions in the live chat, the battle on the field has entered an even more brutal and exhausting phase!
Seeing that his lock-on tactic had been broken, Mikoli decisively abandoned his opportunistic approach and returned to fair and square pressure: "Ice Wind!"

A chilling, pale fog swept out once more, attempting to inflict damage while further slowing down the Magic Masked Cat.

Xia Chi, however, was both skilled and daring, and decided to be greedy one more time: "Shift gears!"

The metallic sheen returned to Magic Masked Cat's body, and while withstanding the freezing wind, its speed surged once again!

"pour cold water on!"

Mikkel immediately changed his approach.

The Lucky Kappa splashed out a strange stream of water that exuded a weakening aura, accurately hitting the Magic Masked Cat that was attacking it.

A chilling power invaded, and Miaoha immediately felt his strength weakened slightly.

Physical attack power reduced!

"Vent your anger!"

Xia Chi's eyes narrowed, showing no sign of backing down!
Venting anger, a Dark-type physical attack move. Its power is doubled if the user's previous stats have been reduced!
With the Magic Masked Cat's energy activated, a jet-black energy beam, imbued with anger and malice, suddenly blasted towards Lucky Kappa!
boom--

With the first-time Dark attribute boost from Star Crystallization, the Vengeance skill's damage is quite considerable, doubling in power.

The Lucky Kappa was blasted backward, and even the lotus leaf on its head was damaged!
However, the inherent strength of a champion-level Pokémon allowed it to stubbornly stand on the frozen ice.

It was clear that the life force of the Lucky Kappa had dropped too low.

Mikoli shouted decisively, "Photosynthesis!"

As the lotus leaves above the head of the Lucky Kappa unfurled, they gradually absorbed the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the clouds.

Xia Chi frowned and abruptly commanded, "Provocation!"

The Magic Masked Cat, with its faster attack speed, struck first, hitting Lucky Kappa with its [Taunt] energy wave, instantly ending Lucky Kappa's self-healing!

Mikoli wasn't annoyed, and instead commanded, "Ultimate Absorption!"

Several emerald green energy vines shot out like venomous snakes, wrapping around the body of the Magical Masked Cat and frantically drawing on her life force to nourish themselves!

Xia Chi was truly at a loss now, and could only helplessly say, "Shift gears!"

How about sketching a [sword dance], [hatching], or even [belly drum] later?
Slowly increasing attack power by shifting gears is really exhausting.
The situation reached a stalemate.

With damage reduction and high life steal, and the continuous stat boosts from the [Grass] synergy, Magic Masked Cat can maintain a healthy state around half health.

As for Lucky Duck, its champion-level defensive capabilities are undeniable, along with the healing power of Ultimate Drain. It's virtually impossible for Magic Masked Cat to end the battle quickly!

"Shadow Claw!"

"Ultimate absorption!"

The vibrant green life-giving vines intertwined with the dark purple ghostly claws, their energies colliding violently!

Lucky Kappa continues to recharge through photosynthesis and ultimate absorption, while Magic Masked Cat holds on tightly with its high life-draining ability!

A brutal tug-of-war has officially begun.

Each energy collision unleashed a violent shockwave, churning the pool into turbulent waves and shattering the ice surface!

[Holy crap! Fighting a Champion-level Pokémon head-on! Magic Masked Meow is amazing!]

Indeed, Meowha's strength has improved so much since he fought Slacker!

[This speed of progress, Lao Shui's cheat code (crossed out). His nurturing ability is terrifying!]

[The main improvement is a huge boost to lifesteal and defense, plus Lucky Kappa's damage output is relatively average.]

[That Slaking from the Thousand Miles Pavilion is terrifying in every way. If it weren't for its side-effect ability, its strength would definitely be T0 among all the Elite Four Pokémon!]

[You're being modest. Even with the Sloth ability, it's still T0. Just swap it for the Huge Power ability and it'll be ready to take on Steven's Metagross!]

Something's not right. It feels like the Magic Masked Cat isn't holding up.

[Its energy is almost depleted. Compared to champion-level Pokémon, Magic Masked Meow's foundation is still somewhat lacking.]

In a sense, forcing the champion to use attrition tactics is itself a victory.

------

The battle lasted for nearly ten minutes.

The magical masked cat's movements inevitably became sluggish.

Each claw strike and each dodge lost its initial fluidity and precision, carrying a heavy weight of exhaustion.

Sensing the chaotic waveguide within Miaoha's body, which surged and pounded like an electrocardiogram, Xia Chi understood.

The health bar is fine, the problem is the mana bar is almost empty.
After all, it's just a Pokémon that's not even level 40. It's a miracle that it's been able to hold out this long against the crazy attrition of a Champion-level Ludicolo that's level 80 or higher and has a lot of experience!
Continuing this battle will not improve Meowha's abilities.

Thinking of this, Xia Chi took out a Poké Ball.

A flash of red light forcibly pulled the Magic Masked Cat, who still wanted to persist, back into the ball.

Through the translucent spherical shell, Xia Chi could see the emerald green figure inside still protesting and fuming.

He gently stroked the sphere with his fingertips, soothingly saying, "You've done enough. Thank you for your hard work, Meowha. Get some rest and leave the rest to the other partners."

Xia Chi carefully put away Meowha's Poké Ball, took a deep breath, took out the Sweet Ball that had only recently appeared from his waist, and threw it forcefully into the center of the field!

"I choose you, Latias!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a red dragon-shaped spirit appeared above the water with a clear cry!

Across from him, Mikoli's eyes finally blazed with the long-awaited light.

He clapped his hands gracefully and laughed, "I've finally waited for this moment, Teacher Xia Chi! I've been looking forward to it for so long!"

"as you wish."

Xia Chi smiled confidently, raised the keystone in his hand, and his voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Latias - Mega Evolution!"

hum-

A dazzling light of evolution erupted simultaneously from the Keystone in Xia Chi's palm and the Megastone embedded in Latias's neck!

Two beams of light, like bridges spanning galaxies, converged and resonated in the air, and the immense energy instantly enveloped Latias completely!

In the light, Latias's body was reshaped and sublimated!
When the light of evolution recedes like the tide.

Mega Latias is already hovering above the water field!
(Adding Mega Latias)
At this moment, the "Mikoli Cup Live Stream Room," which had already gathered tens of millions of viewers thanks to the viral spread of the internet, was completely boiling over!
[Holy crap! It's here! It's here! Mega Latias!!!]

[Finally, you're here!!]

[I forgive your rambling earlier, Prison Water! Just look at this clean and decisive super evolution!]

[No matter how many times I watch it, it's breathtaking! The power and beauty are absolutely stunning!]

[Let's get some of the lucky charm from this mythical beast!!]

[I've already taken a screenshot and set it as my wallpaper!]

On the other side of the water field, Mikuri looked up at the perfectly shaped Mega Latias in the air, a perfect blend of power and beauty, his eyes revealing the purest appreciation and admiration of an artist.

He couldn't help but clap softly: "Elegant. So elegant! This harmony of power and form is truly a masterpiece of the Creator!"

But despite the admiration, the champion's fighting spirit only grew stronger!

"Then let me personally measure the power beneath this elegance!"

Mikoli's voice suddenly rose, revealing its sharp edge, "Lucky Kappa, Ice Beam!"

Although Ludicolo felt unprecedented pressure in front of Mega Latias, it still faithfully carried out its orders.

A beam of icy blue light, more concentrated than before and radiating a chilling aura, shot towards the purple dragon shadow in the air like a polar current!

Xia Chi replied calmly, "Air Blade!"

Mega Latias didn't even make any obvious exertion; its azure eyes merely flickered slightly, and energy flowed rapidly like the wind.

In the next instant, a massive wind blade, condensed to its extreme and seemingly capable of cleaving space itself, was created out of thin air!

It moves faster than the visual can capture, arriving late but arriving early, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek!

Swah——

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a soft sound like a hot knife slicing through an ice pillar!

The frozen beam of light, imbued with champion-level power, shattered and disintegrated like fragile glass the moment it touched the transparent wind blade!

The wind blade continued its relentless advance, carrying the will to sever everything, and swept across the body of the Lucky Kappa without any hindrance, in the horrified gaze of the Lucky Kappa!

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Lucky Kappa remained frozen in the pose of unleashing its attack, standing motionless on the rocky island.

next second.

boom!
A deep, continuous crack suddenly burst open on its emerald green body!

The Lucky Kappa couldn't even let out a mournful cry before its eyes dimmed instantly, and its body crashed down, slamming heavily into the pool and splashing up a huge spray of water!

One blow, instant kill!
