Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 474 The final continues: Ponpo Star Crystallization vs. Gigantamax Charizard! (Seeking monthly votes)

The sudden disaster in Hammerlocke City, after Mugentsuna was completely defeated, immediately shocked the world.

No one expected that while the Masters Tournament finals were being held in Motostoke City, an attack by an unknown legendary Pokémon occurred in the neighboring Motostoke City. If this wasn't dealt with promptly, the consequences would be dire...

Several hours after the incident unfolded, according to a rough estimate by the Galar League, property damage is expected to exceed 35 billion and the number of injured exceeds 3000!

A significant number of the injuries were serious, and the number of Pokémon casualties is still being tallied. If it weren't for the mysterious turnip selling games while rescuing people, there would probably have been casualties already.

The main battleground, the Hammerlocke Arena, was sealed off due to the intervention of international police a few days ago, so there were not many people nearby. The main losses were caused by the Dynamax Pokémon going out of control.

However, Loth, the president of the Galar League, disappeared at such a critical moment, leaving Champion Leon to step forward, explain the situation, and comfort the injured civilians.

This incident has left countless viewers who were looking forward to the Masters Championship finals feeling incredibly disappointed, as the final match was just one game away from deciding the winner.

But given the current situation, it's definitely impossible to continue. Although the official statement says it will be postponed, who knows when it will be postponed to?

As one of the main figures in this incident, Mingyou cleanly distanced himself from the matter. He didn't want a bunch of media asking him about the situation, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to explain the crystallization of Guangquan Guanshi.

He was still in Hammerlocke City at that time.

Everyone in the lab was rescued. The equipment that opened the Ultimate Hole was destroyed when the Great God of Light left, but fortunately they ran fast and were not caught in it.

Mohn was successfully rescued by the Rockets trio, but perhaps due to the impact of the previous shock or a long-standing lingering effect, his memory seemed to be somewhat affected, and he forgot many things.

Even so, when Lusamine heard that Naruto had found someone and brought Lillie and Gladion to Motogakure, Moen still reacted to his family.

You can forget everything, you can lose everything, but love for family, even if it crosses countless cruelties, will eventually reach the other side of time, and after more than ten years apart, the family will embrace each other tightly.

"Waaah~"

Seeing Lily's tears of joy at their reunion, Latias felt a sense of satisfaction; this was good enough.

Xiao Zhao nudged Mingyou's arm and smiled, indicating that they shouldn't disturb the family for the time being.

"Um!"

The two went to the other side and found Mudan, who had finally reunited with Xiaoqing and the others. They were relieved to see that she had only suffered some minor injuries and was otherwise unharmed.

"So, how did you get arrested?"

"Well, my uncle..."

Peony recounts how she was tricked by Loz. Although the two families had a bad relationship, they were still blood relatives. Loz told her that the Galar Alliance had been hacked by an unknown hacker, and that's how he tricked her into setting up a firewall and arresting criminals.

Being too naive is like this...

After hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.

A guy who can so easily manipulate even his own family deserves this fate.

This incident taught them all a lesson. Looking at the post-disaster scene in Quan Guan City, Xiao Qing couldn't help but worry and said, "Now the whole world's attention is focused here. The Masters Tournament finals definitely can't continue, right?"

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Xiao Zhao shook her head slightly. She also felt it was a great pity, but the current situation still required prioritizing Quan Guan City. Although Ming You didn't care, Dan Di, as the champion, had many things to do.

Furthermore, the arena in Gongmen City has now been cleared out; all spectators have left, and the live broadcasts of the event have all been shut down.

In addition, with the energy plants destroyed, all arenas have lost their energy supply and can no longer use Dynamax unless they go to the Dynamax Power Points in the Wild Area, but that is too troublesome.

Sigh... I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

It will take at least a month for Hammerlocke to recover, but the incident caused by the Marocmon Group is unlikely to end anytime soon, given Loz's extremely special status.

But Mingyou doesn't think so. In the Galar region, which has long been influenced by Roz, Pokémon battles have become the most popular form of entertainment and have taken root in the hearts of every Galar resident.

Nothing can soothe the wounded hearts of disaster victims like a Pokémon battle that everyone looks forward to. That's why they are willing to risk injury to watch the match without any regrets!

"I told you so, didn't I?"

Mingyou smiled and looked up at Dan Di, who seemed to have temporarily settled his affairs and was walking towards her.

Xiaoyou was standing next to Leon, handing him her Max Bracers. This allowed her to use Max even in places without Dynamax energy, which was her original intention in modifying the Max Bracers.

"The competition isn't over yet. These entertainment matches are meant to entertain the audience, and as the champion, I can't let everyone leave with regrets!"

Dan put on the Giant Gauntlets and responded with a smile.

His Charizard wasn't seriously injured and has now fully recovered.

Seeing that the two were still determined to continue the interrupted match, Xiaoqing was quite surprised, and then asked, "But the officials have already..."

"As long as there are still viewers waiting for the results, that's enough, isn't that right?"

Suddenly, Zhu Lan's voice came. Not only her, but also Mikoli and Adu, who was still recovering from his injuries, had come here, along with the audience who had come all the way from Gongmen City.

"whee!"

Qi Shu was overjoyed. She had been pre-selected as a commentator for the Masters Tournament live broadcast. She had been sitting in the audience for the past few days because she hadn't qualified, but now she finally had the opportunity to broadcast live. Yes, this was exactly what she wanted.

Let her broadcast this match live!

Seeing so many viewers eager to witness the outcome, Xiao Zhao looked at Ming You with satisfaction and gently pushed him forward, saying, "Good luck!"

"come on!"

At this moment, everyone's voices rang out.

Mingyou's lips curled into a slight smile. Since that's the case, the match must continue no matter what.

"Let's settle this right here!"

"bring it on!"

The match that hadn't ended at the Palace Arena resumed in the dilapidated Punch Arena. Kiju picked up his Rotom phone and started a live stream. Gardevoir, far away in Palace City, noticed this and immediately used the Marocmon Group's network to broadcast it worldwide!

"What's wrong?"

Ash and his friends, who were still in Miyako City, suddenly noticed that on the large screens throughout the city, there were images of Yuu and Leon standing on the ruins, and at the same time, the voice of Mirai Shu explaining the situation also rang out.

No one expected that the match, which had been suspended by the authorities, would be continued in this way. The regret in their hearts was instantly swept away. Even if they could not go to the Quan Guan Arena immediately, as long as they could see the result of the match, that was enough.

Meanwhile, in the city of Kensei, the post-disaster depression was swept away at this moment. Many wounded people, even dragging their injured bodies, wanted to go to the Kensei Arena to watch the match. They couldn't be stopped. They hadn't been able to buy tickets for the Miyamon Arena, but they absolutely couldn't miss this one.

Raikou stood somewhere in Hammerlocke City, watching everything on the screen, and smiled calmly: "Although he's a hopeless guy, he has at least changed the Galar region, that's undeniable."

While Rose is indeed not a good person, his vigorous development of Pokémon battles in the Galar region, transforming it into the premier region, has significantly altered the daily lives of all Galar residents.

More and more spectators arrived at the ruins of the Punch Gate Arena, and the Aegislash monsters responsible for protecting them also came to the scene. Naruto and Dan also took their places.

"That's exactly how it feels!"

Leon took out a Poké Ball. Pokémon battles shouldn't be used for exploitation, but rather, like this, to bring smiles to everyone's faces.

"Let's fight!"

The match continued, and Leon sent out his last Pokémon, Charizard, which spread its wings from the flames and landed on the field. He thought that Naruto's last Pokémon would be Latias, but instead, the figure of Urgot appeared out of the Poké Ball.

"Why...?"

He couldn't understand. Could it be that Ursaring could also Mega Evolve? No... there must be a reason for bringing out such a Pokémon as the grand finale.

"Mmm!"

Ponpo pulled out a Thorn Staff from its cape, and feeling the cheers of the audience, it assumed a battle stance. This was a contest between the starter Pokémon of both sides.

As the final battle, he naturally had to go all out from the start. Leon smiled and recalled Charizard. A flash of light appeared on the Dynamax Band on his wrist as he tossed the enlarged Poké Ball into the air.

Gigantamax!

Under the dark purple light that enveloped the entire area, the Charizard's colors became even more vibrant, diamond-shaped patches appeared on the skin of its abdomen and lower limbs, the fire power burning within its body was also strengthened, and its wings and horns on its back were completely transformed into flickering flames.

Faced with such a formidable foe, Ponpo showed no fear whatsoever. From a demon feared and hated by the residents of the north to now standing on the highest stage, Ponpo is highly anticipated and loved by many people around the world. This is the result of Ponpo and Mingyou's journey together to this day.

and so……

It took out a demon mask made of shimmering star crystals from under its cloak and put it on its face. As its most important memory, this mask had been enhanced like never before after it came out of the Great Void of Zero, and it had truly become a part of it and everyone else.

"Mmm!"

"Hehe, let's go then!"

Mingyou took out the Taijing Bead, which shone brightly and formed an extremely strong Taijing storm. Then she threw it forcefully, releasing energy above Pengpeng's head. The crystal expanded and shattered, blooming with dazzling starlight.

Before Ponpo floated a giant ghost mask covered in colorful crystals. The star crystal on the mask's forehead had transformed into a crown, and the eighteen cosmic attribute icons representing the star crystals, like a halo, surrounded its body.

It belongs to Ponpo's star crystallization!

The audience was shocked. Dan Di was also completely surprised that his opponent would use Taijing Transformation, especially Taijing with unknown attributes. So this was his opponent's real trump card? This is so interesting!

Dan Di could no longer contain his excitement and waved his hand, shouting, "Gigantamax Hellfire!"

"Fight back with thorny vines!"

Mingyou responded immediately.

Under the Astral Crystal attribute, even the Thorn Vine Staff has become Astral Crystal attribute. Although it only has a special attack against Crystallization, it is not resisted by any attribute. Furthermore, the Shadow Reflection reflects the memories of being with Naruyu and everyone else in its heart, resulting in an overall power boost!

Colorful, star-like crystals covered the thorny vine. Ponpo leaped up, like a brave warrior challenging a dragon. He swung his sword with all his might, navigating the vortex formed by the fire dragon, and struck the fire-breathing dragon's belly. Instantly, the crystals shone brightly!

The damage is considerable.

Even Charizard, which could fight Eterna for several minutes before being defeated, could hardly withstand the power of Ponpo, which was composed of everyone's memories. But the strength of Dynamax is not limited to this.

"One more time, Gigantamax Hellfire!"

"roar!"

The fire-breathing dragon roared, its fiery wings transforming into a fire dragon that shot straight into the sky. But Ponpo, stepping on its belly which was as hot as lava, swung its thorny vine club and ran straight up towards it.

This familiar scene also occurred when the purple Motostrap battled the Gigantamax Duraludon. This is one of the weaknesses of Dynamax Pokémon: their large size makes them both turrets and targets.

But Leon didn't hesitate to send Charizard to attack, which showed his confidence as a champion. When facing such an opponent, he should naturally go all out and defeat him without holding back.

The fiery dragon storm formed by its fiery wings swept in, but the scorching heat had little effect on the fire-breathing dragon. Ponpo swung its thorny vine club, creating a turbulent storm of crystals to take the attack head-on, resulting in a violent explosion in mid-air.

Using the impact of the explosion, Ponpo leaped more than ten meters, finally arriving in front of Charizard, even taller than it, becoming the sole focus on the stage, its starry eyes looking down through the mask.

"Now!"

Dandi waved his hand and shouted.

With the Egui Pong suspended in mid-air and without any footholds, it is restricted. If it launches an attack at this moment, the opponent will have no means to retaliate.

Upon hearing the sound, the fire-breathing dragon roared and its fiery wings transformed into a fire dragon that soared into the sky. After spinning once in the air, it plummeted downwards at high speed, forming a scorching and fierce fire storm that swept towards Ponpo!

Watching the descending storm, Ponpo and Mingyou simultaneously smiled, turning their ghost masks around and putting them behind their heads to defend against the falling attacks, revealing their fierce yet adorable faces as they looked down.

No longer relying on masks to hide themselves, they face everyone with their most authentic selves!

"Mmm!"

A blow to the head!

A stick should be used to hit someone on the head!

This was taught to it by Mingyou.

Without hesitation, Ponpo swung the thorny vines wrapped around the star crystals, relied on the demon mask on its back to block the damage, and, propelled by the flame storm formed by Gigantamax Hellfire, unleashed all the power within its body in an incredibly fierce and adorable way, slamming it heavily onto the fire-breathing dragon head!

The key word is: reckless!

A critical hit, delivered the moment the Dynamax ends and the character recovers. This powerful attack even shattered the distorted space, instantly detonating it!

Leon was completely stunned, never expecting such a move. The audience was also dumbfounded. Normally, when faced with a Dynamax move, the first thing to think about is how to survive it.

Or try to find a way to avoid it, in short, try not to take the full damage. Only when both are Dynamaxed will they go head-to-head. But right now... they have turned the opponent's Dynamax move into their own driving force. This is the infinite possibility of Pokémon battles!

Amidst the gasps of the audience, the exploding Charizard reverted to Gigantamax mode, was slammed away by the Thorn Staff, leaving a trail of white as it hurtled straight towards the stands, crashing into Aegislash's King Shield...

The world's strongest champion, who has never suffered a defeat on the field, has finally suffered his first defeat on this highest stage!
