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

If you attack from a distance, I'll lower your accuracy; if you dare to get close, I'll use a crawling attack to lower your special attack. I'll just keep wearing you down.

When Natsumi had no other choice, she tried to use mental interference to manipulate the hypnotic powder to coat Natsumi, but Natsumi responded with a breath of dragon fire.

Not only was it not contaminated by the powder, but it also triggered an additional effect, paralyzing the final moth!

Further on, the moths, whose speed suddenly dropped, couldn't even dodge the turbid current. They were covered in phlegm, and their hit rate dropped accordingly, turning them into dizzy, fluttering moths.

"The match is over. The Moth has lost its ability to fight!"

As the referee announced the result, while everyone celebrated that Ash had gotten one step closer to the championship, some couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Why doesn't Miss Naz...replace her?" Xiaochun was a little confused.

Even someone like her who doesn't understand combat could see that Sabrina was just being stubborn throughout the entire match.

"She probably doesn't want to switch..." Xiaoxia guessed. "Xiaozhi's weapon was also carefully chosen, just to deal with Sabrina's lineup."

“Yes, she doesn’t want to be replaced.” Blue nodded and said, “What Sabrina needs to do is to grow from weak to strong and fully demonstrate her growth to Ash… When Alakazam finally appears, she will completely prove to Ash that she will become a qualified Elite Four member! Therefore, she will not make any replacements so that she can fight in the most fluid way.”

"As for Ash's lineup, didn't you all notice that the four Pokémon he used just now all came from different regions?" After the girls pondered for a while, Xiao Lan continued to explain, "In this battle, while Ash is supporting Sabrina, he will also send out Pokémon from outside the Kanto region... one from each region!"

Whether it's Xiaoxia, Lila, or Lijia, everyone who lingers around the Heavenly King can see why Natsume isn't being replaced.

But only Blue can accurately grasp Ash's thoughts.

The champion's hand-held items were all companions he had recruited after leaving Osaka.

Ash sent them out to give a proper ending to their journey after leaving their hometown.

After listening to Xiaolan's explanation, the women in the audience also recalled their encounters with Xiaozhi in different regions and the time they spent traveling together.

Xiaoxia had accompanied him to Galar and Alora. Serena and Nanami reunited with him in Carlos, and he also met Korne during their travels.

Later, after arriving in Alola, they joined Lillie, and together they traveled through Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova, during which they also met May…

Even Homiga, who had always felt he should stay out of it, couldn't help but recall the various amusing incidents that had occurred in Unova.

This guy is actually pretty good; he's good-looking and strong, and he's also an expert in Poison-type Poison. That Crobat is really drool-worthy...

"Screech!" A screech echoed across the field as Ash's Corviknight entered the fray!

The image of Sky Riders soaring through the air reminds Bea of ​​the scene when she first met Ash outside of Gate City.

At that time, he personally subdued Corviknight with his overwhelming fighting prowess!

"Sullip, teleport closer..."

"Corvus Raven, sow discord!"

"Don't panic... attack with Shadow Ball!"

The initial provocation sealed off all of Spellclaw's options, leaving it with no way out but to engage in a direct confrontation with Corviknight.

"Charge forward and retaliate in kind, then use your wings repeatedly!"

Ash was determined to go head-to-head with Sylveon. Corviknight nonchalantly crashed through its opponent's attack, then used the effect of attacking second to double the power of its Dark-type move, severely injuring Sylveon in one move!

However, Corviknight's offensive never stopped. It completely entangled Sulph, using its pair of giant steel wings to attack from both sides. Even though Sulph was barely able to defend with its Flame Punch, it was still being forced to retreat step by step.

"Surprise, use your full psychic power!" Sabrina couldn't accept such a humiliating defeat. After being provoked once again, she finally couldn't hold back and exploded, ordering Surprise to unleash all its psychic power on Corviknight.

"Let it catch me, use Roost!" Ash displayed absolute confidence, Corviknight landed on the ground nonchalantly, letting psychic powers, shadow energy and flames engulf its body, yet remaining unmoved.

"It's over, an eye for an eye!" "Screech!"

In his final counterattack, Suli spun around and flew away, completely incapacitated!

"Sullip, get some rest..." Sabrina was stunned for a while before taking out the ball and bringing her partner back.

She looked across at her rival and lover, who had also retrieved his Corviknight.

"The final battle is finally here..." Sabrina pursed her lips and took out her last Poké Ball. "Let him confirm for himself whether we are up to the task... Alakazam!"

"Huh!" Sabrina's Alakazam teleported to the field and stood ready, gripping the Psychic Spoon in both hands.

"For me, this is the last one..." Ash's partner is also the last one. "You have to be the one to become the champion in Alola... Lycanroc!"

"Awooo!" The werewolf, symbolizing twilight, leaped into the arena, raising its head and letting out a long howl.

The final battle!

Chapter 849 The Curtain Falls, Alola Champion!!

Alakazam versus Lycanroc: a duel between two canine species, fox and wolf.

This was probably the most exciting match of the entire championship final.

Since the Manaro Conference began, Sabrina's Pokémon have been used in numerous battles, so most viewers know that Alakazam is her absolute trump card.

This Pokémon is incredibly strong. In its previous battle against Marin, it was even able to withstand the opponent's attacks despite having a type disadvantage.

Ultimately, after taking a direct hit from an Alola Dugtrio Steel Z, it secured a decisive victory by using Foresight!

As for Ash's Lycanroc, its appearance immediately drew cheers from the entire audience.

This is the effect Ash wanted to create. He and Sabrina are both outsiders, and the fact that they are competing for the final championship, especially since they are both defeating local strongmen to obtain the qualification, will inevitably make the local Alola audience feel resentful.

So Ash decided to send out Lycanroc, a Pokémon known to everyone in Alola, especially since Ash's Lycanroc is the unique Dusk Mode... Its appearance on the field is even more eye-catching than sending out Kommo-o!

"Hoo... Alakazam, here we come!"

"Rockhound, attack!"

The final battle officially began. Alakazam used its psychic powers to lift itself up, while Lycanroc also started running with its four claws flying. The two Pokémon charged at each other at the same time!

"Alakazam, use Taunt!" When they were less than a meter apart, Sabrina finally couldn't hold back and signaled Alakazam to block the Lycan's variation moves.

"Lycote, Rock Rush!" Ash immediately gave the command, and Lycote suddenly burst into its maximum speed, crashing headfirst into Alakazam's chest!

"Next, use Stone Edge!" Having landed a successful blow, Ash didn't stop at all. Lycanroc slammed its front paws into the ground, causing a series of stone pillars to rise up!

"Use mental interference to block it immediately!" "Huh!"

In a flash, Alakazam crossed the psychic spoons in front of him, unleashing a powerful psychic ripple that shattered all the stone pillars into dust!

"Very good, now release the Foresight!" Seeing that everything was still going according to her plan, Sabrina calmly began to set up the battlefield offensive.

Alakazam raised the spoon above his head, and a unique psychic energy surged within him…

"Rylai's Claw, stomp your foot!" "Awooo!"

But just then, the mane rock werewolf roared and charged forward!

"What..." The crimson eyes startled Sabrina. Alakazam, who was gathering power, had no time to dodge and was directly swatted away by the werewolf's claw!

Fortunately, while Alakazam was injured, Foresight managed to release it with great difficulty...

"Keep using Rock Smash!"

"Alakazam, use Spirit Terrain immediately!!"

Ash's subsequent attack startled Sabrina, who quickly activated Psychic Terrain on her flying Alakazam. By utilizing the terrain effect that negates the priority moves of Ground Pokémon, she managed to barely stop Ash's offensive.

Back on the field, Alakazam and Sabrina were so nervous they barely dared to breathe.

"Wow...so fast, and so complicated!" In the audience, Xiaoyao was completely stunned. "I don't understand their exchange at all, I just think these two people are amazing."

"They've been playing a game of strategy from the very beginning. Ash's Lycanroc can also use Taunt... Sabrina's first Taunt was mainly to guard against this move," Serena explained.

Comparing the two, the inability to use variation moves clearly has a greater impact on the Alakazam.

Therefore, Sabrina decided to strike first, using provocation to prevent her opponent from retaliating.

To Naza's surprise, Lycanroc's follow-up attacks were so swift, including an incredibly agile Rock Rush and a stomp that was simply too powerful to be true!

Judging from the way Alakazam reacted, the damage it suffered was even more severe than if it had been hit by a Stone Spear!

"If the last move misses, the power of the next stomp will double," Xiao Lan explained. "Moreover, this is a contact move, which can be combined with Dusk Worgen's Hard Claw ability to increase its power, making it more threatening than the normal Stone Edge."

The Twilight Werewolf's Stone Attack will only deal more damage than a Stomp from Hard Claws if the attribute bonuses are the same and the attack hits a vital point.

But as for the Ishiba, well, everyone knows what that means; hitting it is already a stroke of incredible luck.

Ash used that move to pave the way for his stomp attack. If it hits, great; if it misses, he'll just follow up with an even harder one.

At this moment, Naz was also feeling an extremely bad headache.

Ash trained Lycanroc to be somewhat similar to Lapras before it, both being versatile fighters that can handle any battle and are highly proficient in all of them.

Sabrina thought that by preemptively provoking Alakazam, blocking the opponent's provocation and sandstorm, and indirectly preventing the Lycan's strongest three-form transformation, Alakazam would be able to handle the situation more easily.

Unexpectedly, the opponent only used their attack form, and it was already too much for me to handle...

But she didn't want to lose like this!

This battle has only just begun; she hasn't yet shown Ash her and Alakazam's strongest power!

"Go! Alakazam! Use Future Sight!" "Alakazam!"

Sabrina focused her mind intently, and Alakazam released its psychic powers into the air once more. The energy above the field gradually stabilized from chaos, like a giant eye overlooking all living beings.

"Is it here...?" Ash smiled with interest; he had been waiting for this move.

Sabrina and Alakazam become one, and a new power arises from their bond!

"Rock Wolfman, attack with Stoneblade! Then charge!"
