Pokémon from Galar

Freeze Beam!

A thick beam of light shot upwards, engulfing the entire body of the Goomy Dragon and striking the edge of the protective shield. What followed was the rapidly expanding world of ice and snow.

The turbid currents that had flooded the entire arena now became an aid to the West Lion Sea Ren. In the instant the freezing beam was emitted, the cold ice blocks flooded the half of the arena where Qibana was located, and even eroded nearly a quarter of the protective shield.

However, the audience didn't have time to pay attention to the terrifying icy world; instead, they focused their attention on the Goomy Dragon, who was hit head-on.

"Roar--!!!"

The electrical energy erupted again, and the visible electric shock shattered the ice on his body and broke the surrounding ground! Then, the Nume Dragon, braving the freezing beam, swung his left fist.

stab-

The frozen beam was torn apart by the lightning fist, then quickly replaced, the surging current shattering the wildly spreading ice inch by inch.

not enough!

Having already realized this, Nian Meilong took another step forward and swung his right fist without stopping!

Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—!

With each punch and explosion from Numelong, a block of ice was shattered into powder by electric current.

Primarina silently calculated Goodra's speed, slightly reduced the output of Ice Beam, and then raised her right hand, as wave after wave of Fairy-type energy began to fall from the sky.

Boom boom boom boom—!

Sensing the sudden relief from the pressure, Goodra increased the speed of her punches once more. With increasingly loud explosions, Goodra raised her left hand and shattered the last bit of the ice beam's aftershocks, finally seeing Primarina appear before her.

Without hesitation, his right fist followed!

boom--!!!

If the previous punch, due to the freezing beam, didn't reveal just how terrifying it truly was, then...

The moment that unhindered right fist was thrown, the thunderous roar that echoed throughout the arena, and the lightning that engulfed the entire field, spoke of just how terrifying the power contained in that punch was.

And almost at the same time,

As Lionheart swung his right hand, the power of the moon plummeted down, colliding with the lightning fist that was about to strike its target.

……

Looks like we made it in time!

Just as the battle below was raging, a rather familiar voice suddenly rang out beside Mary.

"It's a good thing you arrived in time. I thought I wouldn't see you until after it was all over, Dan Di."

Sonia crossed her arms, tilted her head back, and smiled as she looked at Champion Dante who had appeared beside her.

"Yes, because I heard the opponent was very strong, so I had Charizard bring me here."

Dan Di gestured to the Charizard beside him, speaking very naturally and skillfully.

"Dan, Mr. Dan Di? Why are you in the audience?"

"Oh, it's been a long time, Yuri and Mary too."

Dan Di raised his hand, revealing a hearty smile, and then sat down in the seat next to him.

"Because the audience can see much better."

Just as Dante was speaking, the power of the moon clashed with the lightning fist.

The deafening explosions and bursts of light, confined by the protective shield, cascaded into the sky, illuminating the entire city of Hammerlocke as if it were daytime.

To be honest, because her strength hasn't reached that level yet, Marie sometimes wonders how much meaning a trainer has left in the center of the battlefield in a battle like the one below.

"Oh ho—it seems that Chibana really went all out. I heard that Miss Mizuki is Mari's friend?"

Having fought against Kibana many times, Leon naturally knew Kibana's limits. He originally planned to just watch the live stream today, but a phone call from Chairman Rose made Leon rush to the scene.

In retrospect, coming to the scene was the right decision. Even for a Pill Emperor, a battle of this caliber would be worth watching.

"Yes, Mizuki... is a champion from another Alola."

Everyone present knew what Marie had experienced in Alola, and Alola had been making quite a few moves recently. These high-ranking officials had all heard about the information that Ultra Hole connects to other worlds.

"No wonder, such a young and powerful trainer, I was wondering why I had never heard of him before."

Dan Di nodded, then showed an expression of interest.

Mary felt that if it weren't for the fact that it was being broadcast live and that Chibana was already on the battlefield, Dan would probably have jumped down to find Mizuki right now.

People who have been in a high position for a long time will eventually become like this.

Leon's desire to find a trainer who could defeat him and succeed him was something many people could guess.

P.S.: I probably won't write too much about Mizuki's matches. I'll skip the rest after the first one, since writing about all the 6v6 matches would take a lot of space.

P.S.: Then yesterday, when I saw someone raise a question about the weather forecast, I realized that I probably forgot to explain this.

In the game, the weather is replaced in order, but I changed it slightly and linked the weather to strength. After all, it's unrealistic to think that Lugia could create a rainy day that covers the entire city and then have it replaced by a randomly thrown Torkoal.

So I changed it to see which side has stronger control and strength, and that side will win, regardless of whether they go first or second.

I didn't include any data in this novel; basically, I wanted to make appropriate and reasonable adjustments to these parts.

So it's good if someone brings up these parts that I occasionally forgot to explain separately, so that I don't completely forget to explain them over time.

Calvin, touched it.

As the title says, I touched it today!

One hundred characters ...

Chapter 261 The Victory or Defeat of the First Match

The powerful explosion and the chaotic burst of energy forced the two Pokémon away from the center of the blast.

The lightning fist and the power of the moon were almost the full force that both sides could muster in a short period of time. As a result, this explosion truly filled the entire arena before unleashing a beam of light that illuminated the only open sky.

While flapping its tail and letting the strong wind carry it backward to quickly escape, Primarina swiftly activated a reflective barrier.

With her weak physical defense, she has no choice but to improve her defensive capabilities in the face of such a terrifying attack from Nume-ryu.

It's been a while since I've encountered such a formidable opponent.

After Primarine became champion in Mizuki, aside from a few Ultra Beasts where its strength was quite good, it hadn't fought such a strong opponent for a while.

As one of the starter Pokémon chosen by the King of Alola, Primarina is undoubtedly loyal and passionate about battle.

Both Pokémon retreated to their respective trainers, but due to the lingering energy storm in the arena, a brief truce ensued.

"How are you feeling?"

Mizuki peered at the West Lion Sea Serpent through the protective shield. The explosion seemed to have affected her somewhat; she appeared to have been struck quite a bit by the overflowing electricity.

"Ow—"

Primarine is still in good spirits. After all, she is a battle-hardened Pokémon, and this injury is not enough to affect her battle performance.

"Our opponents are faster than us, so let's play it safe and prepare to defend first. By the way..."

Mizuki quickly gave the next instructions, but paused halfway through her sentence.

Have you ever had the chance to use Charming?

"Ow..."

West Lion Sea Seren shook her head. Mizuki vaguely understood what she meant. It seemed that the other party was not susceptible to the charm technique, so she was probably a girl.

"Then use hot water, and then adjust accordingly—"

Although Mizuki spoke quickly, the energy on the field dissipated even faster. Before she could finish speaking, the opponent's figure could already be vaguely seen in both of their vision.

"Watch out, it's coming!"

Mizuki interrupted herself, believing that Seishin had understood her thoughts and reminding her that her opponent's surprise attack was likely already underway.

call out--!

Almost as soon as Mizuki spoke, a dark shadow, originating from the Goomei Dragon, cleaved through the rain with a whoosh, hurtling towards the Primarina with a loud sonic boom!

It was a powerful whipping!

Goodra only has this one Grass-type move that it can learn as a Whip-type move!

"Hold on!"

Bang-!

Although Mizuki blurted it out, the moment the West Lion Sea Serpent sensed the terrifying whip attack that produced a sonic boom, it had already erected a protective light barrier.

Then, the moment Mizuki finished speaking, the light screen shattered. Shishio glanced at the vines that had been flung away, and her counterattack began at that moment!

Hot water!

With a sudden wave of its hand, the water flow within several meters of its side suddenly changed direction, converging into a single stream. This stream was then cleverly infused with fire energy and sprayed towards its opponent!

Under normal circumstances, the difference between hot water and a water cannon would be easily discernible, but with the heavy rain and the foggy conditions, no one except Mizuki could tell that she was using hot water.

Whether they realized it or not, both Chibana and Nymphalon sensed that something was wrong.

Should I use a water-type skill at this point? Or a water cannon-type skill?

The vines that Nian Meilong had temporarily conjured were still in his hand, and the second powerful whip strike would only be faster than the first one. It was impossible for the opponent not to realize this.

"Continue the attack."

Although Qibana didn't recognize it at first glance, he could roughly guess what his opponent was planning, so he made Goumi Dragon abandon defense and focus on attack.

Nianmeilong wasn't as quick-witted as Qibana, but her keen intuition allowed her to make a choice after hearing Qibana's voice.

Bang-!

The vines were pulled back into a sonic boom once more, and the hot water successfully struck the Good Dragon's body. Kibana watched the steam being quickly washed away by the rain, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

As expected, since the opponent wanted to test its ability, Raihan naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Ignoring the burn status that would be extinguished by the rain, the hot water was just a tickle-like water-type move.

He didn't doubt the success rate of the hot water burn. At this level of skill, after a series of training sessions, statistical probabilistic data was just for fun in their hands. Whether they could succeed or not depended solely on whether they wanted to or not.

In Galar, Kawu is probably the best at dealing with abnormal statuses.

Moreover, Qibana himself can control the success rate of abnormal statuses in some moves, so he doesn't think Mizuki can't do it.

The sticky dragon's vine whip had already lashed out. Fortunately, although the brief burning effect would be quickly washed away by the rain, it was true that it affected the power of the whipping.
