Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

"The match begins!" With the referee's announcement, the battle to determine the last spot in the finals finally commenced.

Ma Rui was very targeted from the start. Knowing that Sabrina was good at Psychic-type attacks, he decisively chose Steelix as his opening move.

But to everyone's surprise, Sabrina sent out her ace Alakazam!

Thanks to its high speed, Alakazam successfully set up a Psychic Field before the Slicing Commander could act, directly blocking the Steel Soldier's most effective preemptive strike.

Next, they used mental interference to control the various explosions of the gas-gathering bombs.

Ma Rui wanted to use the same trick again, so he had his Steel Soldier use Metal Blast to counterattack. However, Sabrina's Alakazam was much more agile than Lillie's Magearna and was completely unaffected by the Metal Blast.

After a series of battles, Steel Soldier was driven to the brink of a mental breakdown by the opponent's reverse attribute, and Marui could only take the damage for nothing before replacing him.

But after that, he was subjected to a hypnosis session by Naz.

Suli's teleportation and hypnosis, Flash Moth's butterfly dance and hypnotic powder, plus Slowpoke's guaranteed yawn, successfully made Marin experience the terror of sleep hell.

Especially that Slowpoke, Sabrina actually gave it a moveset of Belly Drum, Water Slash, and Zenmout!

If you were caught by the other person during hypnosis, they would just swing a big seashell at you.

What's even more frightening is that Slowpoke's burst of power isn't a one-time thing.

It has a relatively rare regenerative ability; each time it is replaced with a ball, it can restore one-third of its stamina. While the hypnosis is in effect, it can cause a few mishaps and then emerge as a fully healed monster.

They'll beat you up while simultaneously disgusting you.

After a series of hypnosis sessions and battles, Marui lost three Pokémon: Bisharp, Alolan Sandslash, and Magneton.

Apart from Slowbro who crashed, Sabrina's other companions were almost all at full health!

She entered the second half with a huge advantage, and just as Ma Rui was on guard against her hypnotic tactics, Naz suddenly changed her tactics and sent out an Arale.

Raichu in its Alolan form was a Pokémon that Sabrina bred after she came here.

This Electric/Psychic dual-type mouse started with a surprise Fake Out, which immediately put Marin's Skarmory into Flinch. Then, taking advantage of the opponent's inability to counterattack, it set up Electric Terrain and followed up with various Power Rush attacks!

On Electric Terrain, Alolan Raichu can use its Surf Tail ability to boost its speed. It can be seen speeding around the field on its tail, with various electric currents almost never stopping.

Skarmory's health bar was whittled down to zero, and when Marin sent Metagross into the field, Alara countered with a Psychic Terrain... and then promptly returned the ball!

Ma Ruiyin: ...

Seeing the sludge racket reappear on the court, he knew that the torture was about to begin again.

I thought no one would be sleeping in the electrical field... but now I've really been shown up by Nazja.

Thanks to Metagross's efforts, and with Alolan Dugtrio also stepping in to take some hits, Marin managed to barely defeat Hypnos and Alolan Raichu, but Metagross was already exhausted.

The final situation became two against one... no, it should be three against one.

Sabrina has a Pokémon that hasn't appeared since the beginning, and she doesn't seem to plan to send it into battle.

As the game drew to a close, Ma Rui struggled to command the three dummies to fight against the moth... until then he discovered that the moth's output was actually quite high!

The tinted glasses trait doubles the damage of moves that are not performing well. Whether it's the insect chirping or the mental interference, the final moth can essentially ignore resistance!

With the added boost from Butterfly Dance and the deterrent effect of Hypnotic Powder, by the time Marin defeated the Last Moth, the Diglett was already at its last gasp.

"Even so... I have to give it my all! Diglett, Super Spiral Combo!!"

Knowing that it had already lost, Marin chose to show its last strength. With the help of Z-Power, the Alola Diglett spiraled forward, aiming directly at the Alakazam that Sabrina had replaced!

"Alakazam, let's give it our all... Positive Field, Foresight!!"

"Huh!" Facing the rapidly approaching steel drill, Alakazam calmly activated the field effect, while simultaneously throwing a mysterious ball of psychic power into the air.

The Alola Diglett's attack finally erupted, almost pushing Alakazam to the sidelines, but it ultimately couldn't sustain the momentum.

"ended."

With a soft murmur from Sabrina, the mysterious energy in the air precisely locked onto the location of the Alola Diglett, causing them to plummet down like falling stars.

boom!

The arena shook violently, and the three Digletts were completely unable to fight!

"The competition is over! The finalist is Naz!!"

Chapter 843 The Birth of the Youngest Heavenly King

The two semi-final matches of the Manara Conference have finally ended, and Ash and Sabrina will have their final showdown to determine who will become the first Alola League Champion!

However, before that, everyone has to wait for two more games.

The first is the ranking battle between third and fourth place. The result of this all-out battle determines who can stand on the podium as the third place winner, while the fourth place winner can only applaud with the other contestants from the sidelines.

At the same time, this game can also serve as a reference for the future ranking of the league's top players.

Although they are all at the Elite Four level, there are differences in their status. For example, in Kanto, Kikuko is the number one Elite Four member.

The Alola Flying-type Elite Four member and the Steel-type Elite Four member will determine which has a higher starting position in this match!

Both Kashili and Marin fought with all their might, losing five Pokémon in the process. In the end, Kashili proved to be the better player, managing to defeat Marin's Alolan Dugtrio with her Togepix.

It's often said that the runner-up is something you give away, while the third-place finisher is something you win back, and there's definitely some truth to that.

After defeating Marin, Kashiri shook off the frustration of being shut out by Ash and excitedly envisioned her future as an Elite Four member.

However, Ma Ruiyin was not discouraged for long. She quickly became determined and said that she would definitely fight again another day if she had the chance, and win back the ranking!

This is healthy competition, and Ash is happy to see it.

He even plans to introduce a league title defense mechanism from the game after the league is established.

From the Elite Four to the Champion, any qualified Trainer can come and challenge them regularly, and Ash welcomes them all to come and challenge him.

To be arrogant, in Alola today, any trainer with a bit of ambition will definitely improve after battling Ash.

The champion's responsibility is to guide local trainers to become stronger through battles.

The second match, besides the one for the title of "King of Pop," was the qualifying round to determine the final winner.

Lillie, Jessie, Acerola, and Guzma will each send out two Pokémon in a Royal Battle with a switch rule.

Whoever's Pokémon remains on the field at the end will become the last Elite Four member of the Alola League!

Looking at the lineup, you can tell that the situation is somewhat dominated by women... and so Guzma was once again tragically targeted.

He was the strongest of the four and the only male present, which made him the most difficult to deal with.

Right from the start, Acerola and Jessie reached an agreement, with Greedy Lappland and Arbok, both Poison-type Poison-types, controlling the field with various status effects, successfully poisoning Golisopod and paralyzing Scizor.

Immediately following, Mimikyu and Mimikyu Q, having switched hands, began unleashing a barrage of attacks!

With double the damage reduction from his disguise, Guzma was completely helpless.

As for Lillie, she had no intention of competing for the top spot, so she only fielded White Roll and Piccolo. She didn't directly attack Guzma on the field, but instead provided support for the other two girls.

Hmm... I set up an Aurora Curtain for Acerola and cast a few Healing Waves on Musashi.

After Guzma was surrounded and forced to retreat, she also voluntarily chose to forfeit.

According to her, Acerola and Musashi each had a poison-type Poison ...

But anyone with eyes can see that Lillie was deliberately throwing the game.

If she replaced one of them with Magiana, the other three of them, even tied together, wouldn't be able to beat her!

Thus, the situation became a one-on-one duel between Acerola and Musashi, and ultimately evolved into a result that could break a world record.

Acerola won!

She uses Pokémon with similar types to Jessie, but they are of much higher quality. Greedy Lapp is a Pokémon sealed away by the former island king, while Mimikyu is a ghost resurrected. Both are very unique.

Meanwhile, compared to Musashi's Arbok and Mimikyu, Acerola also has a significant advantage in flight.

Whenever Musashi launched an attack from a superior position, he struggled to cope and ultimately suffered a regrettable defeat.

"Tch, you lost, but there's nothing we can do about it... Congratulations, little ghost girl." Musashi was slightly annoyed when they shook hands after the match, but she let it go easily.

She has always been easygoing and carefree, so even though she missed out on what could have been the pinnacle of her life, she didn't feel particularly sad.

Moreover, she wouldn't be able to stay in Alora for very long anyway.

After the League Tournament concludes successfully and Ash begins his counterattack on Ultra Space, the main characters will head to Hoenn, and Jessie will continue her Grand Tournament challenges.

"Am I really the King of Heaven...?" After winning the championship, Acerola seemed to be in a daze for a moment.

It wasn't until a while later that she fully came to her senses, realizing that she had actually become one of the Alola Elite Four!

In that instant, she suddenly had a feeling that she really didn't need to care too much about her past identity anymore.

She has a new identity, and she can have new goals for the future!

...

"I never expected that Acerola would become the champion in the end." In the stands, Serena and the other girls were also discussing it enthusiastically.

They all knew from the start that Lillie would give up, but they all believed that the final title of King of the Hill would fall to Guzma, the strongest among them.

"There's nothing we can do about it, that's just how Alola is, and Guzma's strength is ultimately a little lacking," Ash said with a shrug.

In fact, of the four people in this competition, only Lillie could be considered to have reached the level of a Heavenly King when she used her Phantom Beast.

Guzma is indeed stronger than the others, but he's not a whole rank above them.
