Pokémon from Galar

The lithe body was as if it had been hit head-on by a train, and in an instant it was slammed to the ground and slid for more than ten meters, splashing up a lot of water, before lying motionless on the ground.

This attack actually rendered Bai Pengpeng unable to fight.

"Come back, thank you for your hard work."

Yuri picked up the Poké Ball and retrieved the unconscious Pompom. Ignoring her clothes and hair that were soaked by the rain, she took another Poké Ball without hesitation and threw it out, sending out Inteleon.

"Be careful, this is rain summoned by the opponent."

"..."

Thousand Faces nodded slightly. He could certainly take advantage of the current weather, but since it was rain summoned and maintained by his opponent, it would put him at a disadvantage.

We need to find a way to seize some control.

While Inteleon was observing Gyarados in mid-air, Gyarados was also observing Inteleon appearing on the ground.

"Teary-eyed!"

"Ghost Face!"

Chapter 327 Mutual Destruction

Neither side launched an attack immediately; instead, they both opted to first weaken their opponent.

"Waterfall climbing!"

"The water flow bursts open!"

His speed was reduced at the start, and with the Thousand Faces also needing to focus on seizing control of the weather, even with his already outstanding control abilities, he couldn't organize a strong counterattack for the time being and had to temporarily avoid the limelight.

With his entire body controlled by the flow of water enveloping him, Thousand Faces' excellent control allowed him to successfully evade Gyarados's massive attack range.

The advantages brought by their enormous size were clearly demonstrated at this moment.

"Water flow tail!"

Mary calmly observed the arena, watching as the Gyarados, having failed in its attack, swiftly lashed out with its tail at the already dodged Inteleon!

However, the Thousand Faces skillfully used the water flow to propel itself up, then spread its arms to briefly gain air control, narrowly dodging the powerful tail.

Moreover, Gyarados could clearly feel that some of the dark clouds and rain above its head had been diverted by another energy.

The waves of water!

Having achieved initial success, the Thousand Faces Beast raised its hand and launched a not-so-powerful attack at the Gyarados not far away.

"Roar--!!"

The attack, though not particularly damaging, was enough to ignite Gyarados's ferocity. Raising its body high, Gyarados lowered its head and roared at Inteleon once more!

However, the real purpose of this move was simply to convey a message to Yuri.

"Sniper!"

"Stomp again!"

It wasn't that it didn't want to dodge, but given Inteleon's abilities and Gyarados's size, dodging was pointless, so it simply chose to continue weakening its opponent.

Upon hearing the command, Gyarados instinctively tilted its body slightly, then raised its tail high and slammed it heavily onto the ground!

After being slowed down, Inteleon's attack speed was noticeably slower than Gyarados's, falling a full hit behind. The Ground-type energy that shot into the sky was clearly unavoidable, and Inteleon could only jump to keep itself airborne, without changing its hand movements at all.

A powerful water bullet followed closely behind and was fired at Gyarados, tearing through the water curtain and leaving a very clear trajectory in mid-air!

BOOM! Boom!

The ground shook and energy shot into the sky. Even the Inteleon, which had not yet landed, was engulfed by the energy and took damage. The same thing happened to Gyarados. Twisting its body did not allow Gyarados to avoid the water bullets.

"Roar--!!"

The highly compressed water energy tore through the skin and muscles, and the blood was quickly washed away, but the wound showed the onlookers that this was not an injury that could be ignored.

"Wild swings and strikes!"

Seeing that Gyarados's expression was getting fiercer and fiercer, Mary felt it would be better to let him vent for a while.

Gyarados was clearly delighted to hear such a command. Using its entire body as a weapon, Gyarados tensed its muscles, twisted its body, and turned most of its body into a whip, lashing fiercely in the direction of Inteleon!

"The water flow bursts open!"

Faced with Gyarados's seemingly berserk attack, Yuri had no choice but to have Inteleon dodge again. Although it was possible to defend, it was clear that it was better to keep as much distance as possible.

If the opponent gets close, you might be able to defend this time, but the second time could be dangerous.

This time, however, Inteleon's evasion wasn't as effective. Although Gyarados seemed to be going berserk, it was only on the surface. Even as its entire body thrashed about, Gyarados was still consciously chasing after Inteleon.

I didn't give him any chance to widen the gap between us.

Both Chihaya and Yuri clearly noticed this problem. Continuing to run away would only lead to their own mistakes. They had to find a way to counterattack!

"Prepare for a counterattack!"

At Yuri's voice, Chiyo paused, controlling the still-flowing water to break through, abruptly and forcefully changing its direction. Because of this change, Gyarados's attack was already close at hand, its thick body pressing down on him menacingly.

The moment the water bursts, Thousand Faces crouches down in a sorry state, and a whirlpool quickly appears to envelop her, using the power of her special move to force herself through Gyarados's attack from below.

"Water flow tail!"

However, neither Gyarados nor Marie intended to let their opponent off so easily. After failing to land a hit, Gyarados immediately changed its moves and used Water Tail again. Its agile tail quickly slammed towards the direction of Chip Shield behind it!

"Hold the line! Water cannons!"

The Thousand Faces Avoidant reacted extremely quickly, anticipating that her opponent wouldn't let her off so easily after dodging the previous attack; her reaction was almost synchronized with Yuri's voice.

Even before she could get up, the Thousand Faces knelt on the ground, released the control of the vortex, raised her left hand to support the light barrier, and pointed her right hand at Gyarados's head. The water cannon began to condense rapidly!

"Crush it!"

Having failed in its first attack, Gyarados used the force of its tail being blocked to slap itself on the spot and lunge at Inteleon again, its dark energy fangs quickly appearing.

Thousand Faces remained calm as the Gyarados lunged forward, its Hydro Pump continuously building up power as the massive jaws loomed close.

It's now!

boom--!!!

The water cannon and the crushing attack erupted almost simultaneously. Neither of them could dodge the close-range attack, and both took the powerful attack head-on!

"Roar--!!!"

The smoke and dust were quickly washed away by the rain. Thousand Faces had fallen to the ground, unable to fight, while Gyarados raised its head and roared again, venting its emotions.

Then, before the host could say anything more, after meeting Mary's comforting and encouraging smile, Gyarados exhausted the last bit of strength it had been holding on by sheer willpower and collapsed in the center of the arena.

Ignoring the surprised host and Yuri, Mari lifted the red and white ball and retrieved Gyarados. Although both had lost two Water-type controllers, the rain on the field would not stop for the time being.

Both Mary and Yuri were soaked to the bone, but neither of them seemed to care; this wasn't the first time.

Yuri resolutely recalled Inteleon and replaced it with Ninetales' Poké Ball. Her thumb gently rubbed the smooth surface of the ball as she quickly calculated how to deal with Bisharp.

This rain, which is unlikely to stop anytime soon, might actually be a helpful tool for turning the tide.

Both sides calculated their moves, then simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls.

Nine-Tails and Slash Commander reappeared on the battlefield.

Chapter 328 Onion Soldier vs. I-chan

However, even with the heavy rain as cover, the Ice Nine-Tails, whose stamina was greatly depleted, could not withstand the fierce attack of the Slashing Commander. After trying her best to maneuver, she fell under the Slashing Commander's blade.

From then on, Yuri had three Pokémon that had lost their ability to battle, leaving only her last ace, Sirfetch'd.

However, Marie's Bisharp isn't in great shape either. If Yuri can defeat Marie's fourth Pokémon, there's still hope for victory in this challenge.

"Go ahead, Ichi-chan."

"Please, Onion Soldier!"

Marie and Yuri simultaneously recalled their Pokémon from the field and replaced them with their fourth Pokémon, which they had been holding back.

Sirfetch'd, wielding a sword and shield, appeared on the field, his gaze following Umbreon opposite him, his grip on the sword hilt tightening even more.

Ever since the day he evolved, he has been looking forward to his official battle with Ichigo!

"A head-on blow!"

"Hold on!"

With Yuri's command, the Onion Warrior unleashed a speed completely disproportionate to its appearance, its massive sword slashing down at Ichijou with lightning speed.

Bang-!

"Slash after slash!"

The light barrier shattered, and the attack failed, but Onion Soldier didn't care. The deflected blade drew an arc in mid-air and slashed at Ichigo again.

"Iron Tail!"

Not to be outdone, Ichigo suddenly exerted force from her waist and abdomen, and her large tail quickly burst forth with a dazzling silver-white light, sweeping towards the falling sword!

Clang—!

A piercing metallic sound exploded in the center of the battlefield, but I-chan and Negi Yuhei didn't care at all and raised their weapons to swing at their opponents again!

"Splash sand!"

Suddenly, Mary's command came through, and Ichigo reacted with lightning speed, sending a cloud of fine sand flying up and enveloping the unsuspecting Onion Soldiers!

Yuri was startled, especially after noticing that I-chan made no attempt to retreat after her successful sneak attack; her alarm bells immediately went off.

"see through!"

Upon hearing Yuri's command, the soldier who had suddenly lost his sight felt inexplicably calmer. He quickly sheathed his sword and assumed a defensive posture, his gaze lowered to the murky ground, relying on his senses to guard against any attack from Ichi-chan.

Clang—!

The sharp blade slashed down diagonally, cutting through the sand and dust, and narrowly blocked I-chan's claws that were about to touch her!

Noticing the dark energy condensed on the claws, Onion Soldier exerted force with his wrist, shoving I-chan away in one breath before letting out a long sigh of relief. That was clearly a deceptive opening move; thankfully, he reacted in time.

Having failed in her first attack, I-chan flipped in mid-air and landed steadily. She then bent down again, assuming a posture ready to pounce at any moment, wary of the opposing Onion Soldiers.

"Strengthen your willpower!"

"see through!"

Yuri chose to defend without hesitation. Ichigo's Psychic Power was slightly stronger, while Teriyaki's defensive capabilities weren't outstanding, so she still had to be on the defensive. But constantly defending wasn't a solution; she had to get close and fight!
