Chapter 276 Dual Evolution, Desert Tyrant, Super Tyrannosaurus Reigns Supreme! (5.7k)

10 month 7 day.

The glass arena was bustling with noise.

Two days later, the highly anticipated second round of the Mikeli Cup resumed.

It's hard to imagine that a non-mainstream, unofficial, high-stakes esports tournament could attract the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers.

But all of this became a reality thanks to Xia Chi's "Super Evolution Review" live stream that went viral across the internet.

In the morning's match, Mikoli defeated Melissa with virtually no suspense.

After all, whether it's fancy techniques or Pokémon strength, Mikuri is more than a level ahead.

Meanwhile, Mega Swampert, making its first appearance, also demonstrated astonishing dominance in this spectacular battle.

He truly deserved the "top-tier" evaluation that Xia Chi gave him during the live stream two days ago.

After a comfortable victory, Da Mi once again brought along his good friend Da Wu to the commentary booth to jointly commentate on the afternoon's key match—Xia Chi vs. Feng Lu!

Inside the studio.

"Speaking of which, who do you think will win this match, Daigo?"

Mikoli gracefully adjusted the microphone and casually asked.

Daigo smiled knowingly: "The winner will be fighting you in the finals. Why don't you ask who you'd rather face?"

Mikoli tapped her chin with her fingertip, her eyes filled with anticipation: "If I had to choose, I'd say Xia Chi. After all, every time I fight that guy, there's always a surprise."

Although taking sides like this might seem biased for a neutral commentator.

But this was a friendly match, and Mikoli didn't care about other people's opinions, so it didn't bother him.

Meanwhile, the battlefield is under the spotlight.

With the referee's crisp whistle, the match officially began!
Xia Chi and Feng Lu threw their Poké Balls almost simultaneously!
"Go, spread your wings and launch!"

"Soar high, Tanabata Bluebird!"

Two beams of white light exploded, and the starting Pokémon of both sides entered the arena.

On one side was the Zhenyi Hair, which exuded a strange and eerie aura.

On the other side is the elegant dragon bird with fluffy, cotton candy-like wings, the Tanabata Bluebird.

"Hmm, Xia Chi really did choose to fight with Zhenyi, which has the ability to fly."

Mikuri said, "It is indeed a good idea to face the Wind Dew Pavilion Master who specializes in flying-type attacks."

[Actually, it would be safer to send Latias into battle, since Altaria can Mega Evolve!]

[In a way, Zhenyifa is also a super dream monster lol]

[Impossible! The person who watched the prison livestream and still gave the Mega Evolution slot to Altaria is this one (thumbs up)]

[Indeed, after all that effort, how can physical attack and special attack increase simultaneously?]

[Let Sister Fa experience the atmosphere of a spectacular battle! It didn't even get a chance to shine in that grand performance, poor thing.]

[But to be honest, Fa Jie isn't really suited for flashy battles. Her biggest advantage is her ability to infinitely heal, which can easily deplete your flashiness points and finish you off!]

Amidst the chatter in the live chat, the match had already begun.

"Tanabata, Mega Evolution!"

The battle had just begun when Feng Lu unleashed a Mega Evolution, much to the astonishment of Xia Chi and the entire audience.

A dazzling light of super-evolution shone, completely engulfing the Tanabata!

Within the light, the figure of the Azure Bird twisted violently.

The once pure white, fluffy, cloud-like wings unfurled, each feather edged with a delicate pink halo.

Its slightly short, bluish tail has become longer, hanging down behind it like a gorgeous ribbon.

The Super Qixi Bluebird makes a grand debut!

"Bluebird of the Double Seventh Festival, may the wind be favorable!"

Fenglu's command followed closely behind the Light of Evolution, aiming to seize the initiative.

However, before her command was even finished, she had already finished speaking.

"provocative!"

Xia Chi commanded the troops to arrive first, then proceeded later.

Zhenyi's blood-moon-like pupils suddenly contracted!
A dark wave, surging with pure malice, struck the Azure Bird with the precision of an arrow.

The image of the bluebird spreading its pure white wings was forcibly interrupted, and the wind force field that was gathering instantly collapsed.

Feng Lu reacted with lightning speed, immediately commanding, "High-speed star!"

The Tanabata, whose tailwind was abruptly interrupted, did not hesitate for a moment, and its wings suddenly began to vibrate rapidly.

In an instant, dozens of star-shaped energy blasts burning with golden tail flames tore through the air and rained down on Zhenyifa's body!

Clearly, Feng Lu had done her homework and knew that Zhenyifa was inherently shrouded in a "mask".

That's why I used this [High-Speed ​​Star] attack, which is guaranteed to hit, to launch the first attack.

Generally speaking, high-speed stars of ordinary attributes cannot hit the Winged Star of the Ghost attribute.

After Mega Evolution, Altaria's trait changes to [Fairy Skin].

Therefore, High Speed ​​Star also became a Fairy-type attack move.

------

A damaged exterior is a minor issue, but a loss of glamour is a major one.

Xia Chi quickly responded: "Magic Flash!"

With its wings spread, the body hovering in the air suddenly leaned back, and energy surged rapidly within its gray-purple body, instantly bursting forth with a dazzling pink-purple radiance!
The fairy-attribute energy surged and erupted violently, actively heading towards the golden shower of stars.

boom--

The next instant, an extremely dazzling collision of energy unfolded in the center of the arena!

A torrent of pinkish-purple energy collides violently with a dense cluster of high-speed stars!
Countless tiny sparks of light burst forth like diamond stars, refracting into a dreamlike seven-colored halo under the arena lights!

Without a doubt, the more powerful Magic Flash completely overwhelmed the high-speed star's attack!

The lingering energy waves failed to harm the more distant Super Altaria.

However, the perfect defensive stance slightly reduced the opponent's flashiness.

For Zhenyifa, who needs more time to accumulate [Netherworld Mark], this is enough.

"Fire Vortex!"

Feng Lu's voice remained calm, showing no signs of impatience despite the impasse.

The Super Tanabata Bluebird let out a furious cry, opened its mouth wide, and orange-red flames gathered at the tip of its beak.

Immediately, a blazing, spiraling pillar of fire, so intense it distorted the air, lunged at Zhenyi!

"Shadowball barrage!"

With a flap of its wings, it flew backward, its gray-purple body leaving a blurry afterimage.

One after another, purplish-black spheres, compressed to their limit and churning with resentful energy, were fired out like a barrage of bullets.

The target is still not the Super Altaria itself, but rather the defense against this vortex of fire!

boom--

A series of explosions, as dense as drumbeats, rang out.

The purplish-black shadow energy and the crimson flames tore at each other wildly, each collision exploding into a cloud of black smoke and sparks.

The menacing vortex of fire shattered piece by piece under the barrage of Shadow Balls, turning into countless sparks scattered across the sky.

In the commentary booth, Daigo's brows furrowed slightly: "It seems that Fenglu's rhythm is being suppressed by Xia Chi. Her several probing attacks have been perfectly neutralized."

Mikoli nodded in agreement, "That's right, and we all know that Xia Chi's Zhenyi Fa gets stronger as the game progresses. Time is on his side. Moreover, in terms of spectacle value, Feng Lu's Qixi Qingniao is not superior."

[Sigh, if you ask me, Altaria isn't a Pokémon that can use Wing Spin; its damage output is too low.]

[Yeah, we could have won by switching to Charizard and Mega Evolving earlier, but now we've wasted the most important Mega Evolution.]

[If this drags on any longer, Sister Fa is about to pull off an invincible one-versus-three victory!]

However, just when the commentators and the audience were almost unanimously optimistic about Zhenyifa.

A subtle sense of wariness swept over Xia Chi on the battlefield.

Logically speaking, Super Altaria's special attack is not stronger than its physical attack, but its special defense is much higher than its physical defense.

The Super Qixi Bluebird swung its wings, and the "painted skin" was already torn apart, but Fenglu kept battling the waves on this side.

I have a feeling that this seemingly sunny and cheerful girl is up to something.
Xia Chi decided to stop waiting and took the initiative to apply pressure: "The power of the moon!"

Energy condensed, and in an instant, a solitary, cold, silver moon suddenly appeared in the sky.

"fly!"

Feng Lu's instructions were almost synchronized with Xia Chi's.

The Super Tanabata Bluebird's soft, cloud-like wings unleashed tremendous power, slamming downwards into the air!
Its seemingly bulky body leaped at a right angle with near teleportation, narrowly missing the edge of that eerie and violent moonlight, and soared into the sky!

Finally, something has changed!

Xia Chi's eyes narrowed, and he immediately shouted, "Thunder!"

The Thunder Strike move has a low hit rate, but it is a perfect counter to [Flying], which allows you to fly into the air and escape the battlefield.

With a flap of its wings, a flash of lightning appeared in its bloodshot eyes, and its upright wings resembled lightning rods.

The [Speed ​​Attack Type] bond grants it increased attack speed, allowing it to instantly follow up with this thunderbolt attack immediately after finishing the previous one.

boom--

A thick, bright yellow lightning bolt, carrying incomparably violent electric energy, pierced through the body of the Super Altaria that had just taken to the sky!
The violent electric current, like billions of silver snakes, exploded wildly on the pure white wings of the Super Qixi Bluebird, instantly spreading large areas of scorch marks!
However, just as the thunder was raging, a glint of light flashed in Feng Lu's calm eyes.

"Now! The Song of Destruction!"

Xia Chi was slightly taken aback.

Only now did he finally understand Feng Lu's scheme—

He deliberately exposed an opening to launch a full-scale attack, in exchange for the opportunity to unleash [Song of Destruction]!
Without a doubt, even with the speed at which the Wings Strike technique is released.

In the brief interval immediately following the release of thunder, there was absolutely no way to stop the release of this annihilating song. Extrapolating backwards, it seemed that all of Feng Lu's commanders had foreseen this at this moment.

At the start, I deliberately used [Tailwind] to lure out Zhenyi's provocation.

Then came the prolonged, unsuccessful attacks that made him lower his guard.

Most importantly, the Super Tanabata, which is in a "flying and gathering momentum" state, is actually unaffected by [Song of Destruction]!
This ingenious idea was something even Xia Chi hadn't thought of before.

Tsk, how come even the wind and dew are so dirty now?
[Holy crap, Fenglu's become a tactical mastermind too?]

[Who would have thought? After Mega Evolution, even Ghost-type Fluttershy would be affected by Perish Song, hahaha!]

[Hahaha, even the prison water was stunned for a moment. Feng Lu's move was truly amazing!]

[But what's the use? The Altaria doesn't have a way to forcibly retain the Winged Blow.]

[Force them to back out! That way we won't have to drag it out to the post-production stage that Fa Jie excels at.]

[Fenglu: Plans are in place!]

------

"Chirp—"

A mournful cry rang out.

The Tanabata, engulfed by lightning, forced its mouth open in extreme pain, uttering a final lament from deep within its throat that was not a bird's song.

hum-

An invisible and strange energy spread rapidly in the form of sound waves, enveloping Zhenyifa's body, leaving him nowhere to hide!

"Ooh!"

A strange and unfamiliar feeling enveloped Zhenyi, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

Xia Chi's mind raced.

He had already guessed Feng Lu's general intentions.

Forcing back Zhenyi's hair and preventing it from overlapping [Netherworld Mark] is not the underlying reason.

Because Altaria is a Pokémon that can also learn [Mist], a move that can remove all Pokémon's buffs.

Feng Lu's real goal is Xia Chi's next Pokémon!
Although the Super Tanabata Bluebird won't use Shadow Step, the battle rules will—

After actively switching Pokémon, you cannot actively switch again for two minutes.

This universal rule applies to both regular and high-stakes battles!
This means that if Xia Chi takes the initiative to switch out his Pokémon, he will likely be hit by another devastating move from Super Altaria!
But if they don't switch to a hard-hitting approach...
Xia Chi looked up at the sky above the battlefield and saw the super Qixi Bluebird's thick, cloud-like white wings, and his heart sank.

If they try to fight head-on, they'll likely face the impenetrable defense of the Super Tanabata Bluebird.
Should we waste the flashy value of the Winged Strike?

After much deliberation, Xia Chi finally decided to raise the Poké Ball in his hand.

Before returning Fa Jie to her Poké Ball, he gave his final command: "Taunt!"

This is a safety net.

To avoid your next Pokémon being affected by the Extinction Song of Super Altaria as soon as it appears.

With a flap of its wings, a blood-red moon appeared, and an eerie light flashed in its eyes. A surge of pitch-black energy suddenly shot out!

The taunt hit, sealing away the Super Altaria's transformation moves once again!

Immediately, the red light completely enveloped the winged hair, causing it to retract.

Xia Chi's fingers swept across the Poké Balls at his waist, his fingertips, which had been touching the Latias Poké Ball, paused for a moment before gripping another Poké Ball.

"Shakiras, prepare for battle!"

The Poké Ball was thrown, and Shakiras stood on the battlefield.

However, before the white light had completely dissipated, the Super Tanabata Bird had already swooped down.

“Draft!”

The Super Tanabata Bluebird's outstretched white wings burst forth with dazzling emerald green light, and its entire body transformed into a swooping emerald meteor!

The speed was so fast that Shakiras, which had just escaped from the Poké Ball, had no time to react.

The pair of wing blades, gleaming with emerald green energy, tore through the air and slashed down at Shakiras, who had just revealed himself!
The rocky terrain makes it vulnerable to Grass-type moves, dealing four times the damage it is weak to.

Even though the basic power of the [Draft] move is quite average.

But as soon as he appeared, Shakiras's health and stats plummeted.

Xia Chi immediately shouted, "Rock Collapse!"

In fact, the Mega Altaria, whose type changed from Flying Dragon to Dark Dragon, is no longer afraid of Rock-type moves.

But Xia Chi really didn't have a better move to deal with it at this moment.

"Quack!"

Shakiras's body sank, and as energy condensed, countless jagged energy boulders appeared in the sky above where the Super Aladdin had swept away.

Then it suddenly plummeted!

However, the increased speed from [Drafting] allowed the Super Altaria to nimbly weave and dodge through the crevices of the boulders, avoiding the massive damage from the rockfall, leaving its white wings completely unharmed!

Seeing that the figure in the air was about to turn around again, Xia Chi frowned.

He commanded sharply, "Iron Wall!"

The rocky outer shell of Shakiras's body instantly gleamed with a cold, hard metallic light, and its hardness increased dramatically!

Almost simultaneously, the Super Tanabata Bird used its swooping momentum to turn back, and the second emerald green light blade it had drafted had already struck down again!

clang--

The ear-piercing clang of metal against metal resounded throughout the stadium!
Shakiras's reinforced and hardened shell withstood the attack, but the enormous impact still caused Shakiras to sink deep into the ground!

Seeing that Shakiras's physical defense had been greatly improved, Feng Lu frowned and immediately changed his offensive strategy.

"Freezing beam!"

The Super Qixi Bluebird hovered in the air, its beak open, and ice-blue energy rapidly condensed.

The speed boost from the two drafts has greatly increased its attack release speed!
In the blink of an eye, an extremely cold, pale beam of light pierced through space and struck Shakiras hard!

In an instant, ice shards and gravel flew everywhere!
Although it's only double the resistance, the damage from the Ice Beam is still terrifying!
"Sharp stone attack!"

Shakiras endured the biting cold, transforming the condensed rock energy into countless incomparably sharp giant rock spears, tearing through the icy air, rising against the current, and fiercely stabbing towards the Super Altaria in the air.

Just as the freezing beam was released, the Altaria, despite its best efforts to dodge, was still unable to evade it.

However, being a fairy, it did not suffer any unacceptable damage.

------

"Sunbeam!"

Feng Lu's command suddenly rose in pitch, revealing the true killing move!

The Super Qixi Bluebird cries out loudly, and as its energy gathers, the blazing sun in the sky seems to be pulled closer, its scorching rays frantically converging in front of it!

Thanks to the terrifying speed boost from the two [Drafting] actions, this Grass-type ultimate move, which originally required charging up, was compressed and formed in an instant under the blessing of the sunny weather!

An incredibly thick, blazing white torrent of destruction, accompanied by a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air, crashed down upon Shakiras below!

The gray-blue rocky body appeared incredibly small and fragile under this terrifying beam of sunlight.

It's too late to dig a hole or dodge now.

Xia Chi could only shout, "Hold on!"

A semi-transparent, pale green energy barrier instantly rose up in front of Shakiras!

boom--

A devastating torrent of sunlight roared and crashed against the energy barrier, the blinding white light engulfing everything!
The barrier groaned under the strain, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly across its surface!

It lasted for less than two seconds.

Nourishes—

The barrier shattered like fragile glass, and the remaining, still incredibly powerful solar beam energy completely and utterly engulfed Shakiras's tiny figure!

"Quack!"

A mournful cry filled with extreme pain erupted from the core of the flames!

The terrifying damage from four times the normal damage made Shakiras feel as if he were inside a violently erupting volcano.

Under the extreme heat that incinerates everything, the hard shell emits a chilling cracking sound, and fine cracks instantly spread all over its body!
The destructive energy was tearing at every inch of Shakiras’s body, and the pain was almost crushing its consciousness!
Xia Chi's heart clenched instantly.

However, at this critical moment...

"Gahoo—"

A deafening roar filled with indomitable will suddenly overwhelmed the booming of the sunlight beams, erupting from the deepest part of the destructive flames!

hum-

A dark red energy shockwave, visible to the naked eye, suddenly exploded, tearing apart the surging torrent of sunlight beams!

Then, a dazzling white beam of light suddenly flashed.

Xia Chi was slightly taken aback.

This light was different from the bursting beams of sunlight; it was a miraculous light full of life.

Having already experienced this scene, Xia Chi suddenly realized that this was the light of evolution he had been waiting for.

On the brink of annihilation in the most painful and desperate way, Shakiras finally completed the transformation of his life!

A resolute look flashed in Xia Chi's eyes as the Keystone in his hand began to resonate with the Mega Stone that was already bound to Shakiras—or rather, to Tyranitar.

"Tyranitar, Mega Evolution!"

boom--

An aura, as if a slumbering, ancient legendary spirit had been awakened once more, swept across the entire arena!
A dazzling light, more than ten times brighter than when Altaria super evolved, swept through the remaining energy of the solar beam, carrying endless sandstorms and sharp rocks, and pierced through the entire Glass Arena!
Inside the pillar of light, Tyranitar's figure twisted wildly between extreme pain and the pull of new life!

The deafening sound of the shells bursting was like rolling thunder, and the ferocious spikes pierced through the old shells like living creatures, growing wildly!
The huge holes in the carapace spewed out scorching waves of air.

Immediately, a massive sandstorm, centered on that heavy figure as imposing as a mountain, swept across the entire area, blotting out the sky and the sun!

As the last ray of sunlight was completely annihilated by this evolving chaotic storm.

A monster, clad in ferocious spiked armor and towering like a moving mountain, descended with terrifying pressure!
