Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

With a mere gesture, a deep, dark energy surged and condensed into a purple sphere the size of a basketball in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Dorgonmesia's brother also created a Shadow Sphere of the same size.

Two Shadow Orbs, controlled by Dragoon, orbited each other and were launched simultaneously!

"Tsk, scales shooting!"

Long Ao looked at Su Hao with a displeased expression; the other man's mind was too quick.

However, he quickly made the decision not to fight the Double-Haxed Dragon head-on after just one encounter; his provocative words before the battle still failed to make the other party lose its composure.

The chance to kill them at first sight has been lost, it seems we have no choice but to grit our teeth and keep fighting.

The Haxorus swung its tail, and dozens of sharp, scale-like objects shot out instantly. The speed of the projectiles, even faster than the Shadow Orbs, allowed them to pierce straight into the two Shadow Orbs.

Unstable energy invaded the interior of the Shadow Sphere, causing a sudden explosion of dense Ghost-type energy, which instantly filled the air with purple smoke.

Seeing that the Shadow Ball had been blocked, Su Hao's expression remained neither sad nor happy. He gave the order again: "Continue the attack!"

Under the suppressive firepower of ranged attacks, he didn't believe that the Double-Axe Dragon could completely block every single attack.

Upon hearing this, Draco and Dracomesia nodded. The Ghost-type energy, like a lump of clay that could be kneaded at will, formed smaller Shadow Balls, but in greater numbers than before.

Fifteen small shadow orbs, like machine guns, were fired at the Haxorus by the Dragoons.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down Long Ao's forehead; his scales were no match for the scattering shadow ball.

There is only one solution!

"Haxorus, unleash your hidden power!"

"Ouch——!"

With a roar like thunder, crimson light instantly covered the eyes of the Haxorus. The Haxorus's aura rose like a skyscraper from the ground, and its frenzied dragon might raged wildly.

Su Hao narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "A Achilles' heel..."

Sure enough, Long Ao was hiding some cards.

If you are really provoked into choosing melee combat by his provocation, the already incredibly powerful Haxorus will be further strengthened by Reverse Scale, and there is even a third card, Dragon Dance, in the Haxorus's skill bar.

This Haxorus is strong enough to go toe-to-toe with a professional-level Pokémon!

However, compatibility is more important than anything else.

The berserk Twin Axe Dragon wielded its blood-red twin axes, severing the first wave of Shadow Orbs.

Immediately afterwards, a second wave of even more Machine Gun Shadow Orbs unleashed by Dorgonki and Dorgonmesia descended once more.

The Double-Haxorus was fearless; in fact, in its reverse scale state, it was a fully unleashed killing machine.

The dual-axe-clawed war dragon uses both its axe and claws to intercept as many shadow orbs as possible, letting those it cannot block explode on its hard armor.

Rock fragments flew everywhere, and craters were created by the Shadow Orbs blasted from the two-handed Haxorus.

Each Shadow Ball was enough to repeatedly kill the Draco and Garchomp that Dragon Pride had previously sent out.

The audience in the stands watched the intense battle intently, afraid of missing a crucial moment.

The ghostly energy, like a persistent, insidious poison, continued to corrode the armor of the Double-Hammer Dragon. Long Ao didn't even dare to swallow his saliva, staring intently at the back of the Double-Hammer Dragon.

By getting close, he can make the Haxorus unleash its Dragon Pulse at close range.

Haxorus cannot fly, but if Doronki falls, he will be met with a fierce onslaught from Haxorus!

I can make countless mistakes, but you only make one!

One step, two steps...

The armor on the Haxorus was covered in pits and corrosion marks, but it still walked steadily and continued to move towards Doronki.

Finally, we were just one step away.

Just as Long Ao was about to speak with a look of joy on his face, Su Hao suddenly gave the order.

But the gesture made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Dragon Pulse!"

------------

Zergnas.

Chapter 281 The Final Four

shit!

He forgot that Draco also has more powerful Dragon-type moves besides Shadow Ball!

These chain shadow orbs are a smokescreen to lower his guard and corrode the armor of the Twin Axe Dragon, making it easier for Dragon Pulse to kill him in one hit!

He turned over the last card: "Double Axe Dragon, Ultimate Charge..."

Doronchi and Doronmesia moved even faster, their dragon-attribute energy, which had been waiting to be unleashed, surged wildly. In the blink of an eye, a ferocious blue and a purple dragon soared into the sky, then fell like a meteor.

With training, Haxorus, while unable to think calmly in the Outrage state, still retains its powerful fighting instincts and can respond to its trainer's commands.

He just happened to be unable to learn the more powerful Dragon Dive. Pure white and light purple Normal-type energy formed a vortex, and before the Twin Axe Warrior's head could unfold and envelop it, Dragon Pulse descended first!

Two giant energy dragons intertwined and crashed down, the immense energy causing an explosion. The blinding light made the audience involuntarily close their eyes, and the deafening roar forced them to cover their ears.

After a while, the smoke that had been obscuring the view dissipated.

The Doronchi floated on the field, panting heavily from unleashing a series of attacks.

Meanwhile, the Haxorus beside it had already developed circling eyes and was lying belly up, unable to fight.

During the post-match handshake, Long Ao said with a helpless expression, "Even though I used every trick in the book, I couldn't even force you to use your trump card, and I ended up getting completely thrashed."

“My Haxorus is naturally extremely strong, but your Draco is even more special. It can even unleash attacks on Draco Mesia, just like the Deinonychus.”

"I accept defeat wholeheartedly in this match."

Su Hao was a little embarrassed by the praise: "My Pokémon are basically well-rounded. So if brute force doesn't work, we can switch to another strategy. It just happens that it doesn't quite work with your style."

Honestly, Draco isn't yet capable of unleashing Giratina's full power. Given the huge power disparity, it's fortunate he had a ranged attack up his sleeve, otherwise he would have been completely overwhelmed.

"Haha, don't be modest." Long Ao looked unconvinced, then smiled with relief: "We must win the championship."

That evening, several hot posts on the trainer forum were displayed at the top, and even Ning Ling's Chandelier Spirit's one-versus-three victory couldn't steal its thunder.

"A rational discussion: Did Su Hao's players, Duolongqi and Duolongmesia, use cheat codes?"

Two-Headed Tyrannosaurus Rex: This two-headed dragon is truly extraordinary!

...............

Doronchi's winning start was a good omen. His opponents in the quarterfinals were not particularly strong, and those without trump cards like Long Ao were powerless against Doronchi.

After defeating the opponent's last Pokémon, Dragapult's aura solidified and then surged.

With his experience bar already just one step away from the late-game elite level, Duolongqi naturally broke through to the late-game elite level.

Upon learning of this, Milotic felt a sense of unease.

She needs a thrilling battle to break through to the professional level!

The next day, Su Hao went to the draw for the semifinals alone. This was something the team couldn't do for him; he had to go by himself.

The reason he was alone was simple: his doubles teammate, Bai Ziyu, had already boarded a plane back to Chengdu this morning.

Bai Ziyu wasn't as lucky as Su Hao. After eliminating a favorite to win the championship in the round of 16, he inevitably ran into Ning Ling, who was also an outsider in this competition, just like Su Hao.

After he used all his skills to defeat Ning Ling's two vanguards, the Desert Dragonfly, empowered by the power of the Dragon Taming, left several wounds on the Crystal Lamp Spirit before collapsing to the ground.

Su Hao is now the only remaining representative from the Sichuan region.

Logically speaking, Su Hao, who carries the expectations of everyone, should be under immense pressure at this moment.

After the lottery ended and he left the lottery center, he was not flustered at all. He even stared with interest at the figure in front of him who was covered up tightly.

He recognized that figure!

It was Li Luoyan, the Fire King, who had been with them in Orudelang City not long ago!

"Why is he here?"

Su Hao's mind raced, and he became a little curious.

He walks very relaxed, so he's probably not on any classified mission. Let's try talking to him!

Without hesitation, Su Hao quietly followed behind Li Luoyan, and when the opportunity arose, gently patted his shoulder: "Heavenly King Li!"

Li Luoyan turned his head and immediately saw Su Hao, who was acting suspiciously.

A hint of surprise crossed his face.

He asked who was following him, and it turned out to be this kid!

"Su Hao, what are you doing here..." The words slipped out, but he realized his mistake halfway through and abruptly changed his words: "Just finished drawing lots?"

He remembered that this kid was currently riding high.

From the preliminaries to the final four, aside from using Milotic once in the first match, he only used an elite Dragapult to dominate.

Su Hao nodded: "We just finished drawing lots."
