Pokémon from Galar

Desert Dragonfly naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch Kyon act. Gathering its strength, the Quicksand Hell grew even larger, with fierce sandstorms splashing ripples on the protective shield, indicating that the sandstorm contained a massive amount of energy ready to be unleashed.

boom--!!!

Ah Xu controlled the vortex and slammed it in a certain direction. With the explosion of energy, a large amount of sand and mud permeated each other, causing an even more violent chain reaction!

Two energies from different Pokémon collided violently, and a series of deafening explosions resounded across the entire field. Two vortexes, each tens of meters in size, were blasted apart, turning into large amounts of sticky sludge that crashed into the puddles on the ground.

A purple figure flashed and burst out of the explosion, the venom surrounding it disintegrating to reveal a fully recovered Kyon. The same happened to the Desert Dragonfly opposite; the compressed sand was dispersed by its outstretched wings, revealing the Desert Dragonfly.

"Mental shock!"

"Dragon's Dive!"

Before the audience could even clearly see the two Pokémon's voices, the two trainers' voices had already rang out.

The desert dragonfly spun around, screeching as it straightened its body and charged towards Kyon like a shooting star! An invisible spiritual force lashed out, slamming into the desert dragonfly from above, while Kyon's body rapidly flew upwards.

But the desert dragonfly only tilted its body slightly, then quickly regained its balance and flew back towards Kyon in a narrow arc!

"Meteor Beam!"

Kyon's body flew rapidly backward, a dazzling white light appearing in front of him. He watched as the Desert Dragonfly closed in, and in that split second, when they were only ten meters apart and about to collide, Kyon...

A white torrent of energy crashed down on the menacing purple meteor!

boom--!!!!

Kyon retreated continuously, pouring energy into the meteor beam in an attempt to shoot down the Desert Dragonfly. However, his opponent used a powerful energy burst to forcefully split the beam in two. Dragon-type energy also continuously bolstered the beam, continuing to close the distance with Kyon.

A fan-made story about traveling and adventuring with Pokémon.

Chapter 406 Aerial Battle

The distance between the two sides was gradually closing, but their moves were also showing signs of weakness. After all, a second move is weak and a third is exhausted, especially such a powerful move, which is not easy to maintain control.

Kyon quickly considered the situation and began to noticeably reduce the power of his meteor beam. However, the Desert Dragonfly seemed unmoved, unaffected by the current situation, and steadily continued to compress the distance between them.

As the two sides drew closer, Ah Xu suddenly unleashed all his remaining energy in one go, then quickly withdrew, his body abruptly flying downwards.

But the Desert Dragonfly didn't give up. The dragon-type energy surrounding it also exploded, giving it a huge thrust to change its flight direction, allowing the Desert Dragonfly to catch up with Kyon beneath it in the blink of an eye.

The two Pokémon's eyes met less than two meters apart. Without warning, they moved at the same time. Flygon's long tail suddenly swung downwards, and the dense Dragon-type energy at the end of its tail transformed into a heavy hammer that fell towards Kyon.

Not to be outdone, Kyon suddenly extended several tentacles, completely enveloping the desert dragonfly's body. Each tentacle seemed to be covered in liquid, making it appear incredibly smooth.

The tentacles quickly wrapped around the desert dragonfly's body, and transparent venom was rapidly injected into the dragonfly's body, while the dragon's tail had already fallen, heading straight for Kyon's head.

At the critical moment, Kyon suddenly released most of his tentacles, his body hanging on the desert dragonfly as he abruptly swung to the side, successfully avoiding the direct impact of the dragon's tail.

Even so, the energy that grazed his body and exploded still made Kyon release all his tentacles in pain, and he was tumbled and sent flying backward by the force of the impact.

Seeing this, Mary quickly assessed Kyon's condition, sensed the simple message Kyon was sending back, and promptly followed up with further instructions.

"Shadow clone, then magic flash!"

"Keep your distance, meteor shower!"

The two Pokémon that had just finished their battle started moving again at the trainer's command. Kyon rolled in mid-air, quickly creating more than twenty afterimages around him, and then surrounded Flygon.

The desert dragonfly, however, was not about to let its opponent surround it so easily. It quickly flipped over near the ground, creating a gust of air that sent large amounts of venom flying everywhere. The desert dragonfly, however, paid no attention to the liquid that landed on it and endured the discomfort as it flew back into the sky.

Turning his head to look down at the phantom behind him, he quickly changed his position, gathering massive dragon-type energy while trying to bring all the shadow clones together as much as possible.

But Kyon didn't let the desert dragonfly have its way. His shadow clones were spaced far apart, and then more than twenty magical flashes erupted at the same time, shooting towards the desert dragonfly in mid-air!

Even knowing that only one of them was a real attack, Desert Dragonfly had no intention of gambling. He simply darted and weaved through the beam of light.

"Roar--!!!"

Accompanied by a long roar, a large number of purple meteors began to appear out of thin air in the air above the arena and quickly fell into the field!

Seeing this, Kyon's attack did not stop at all. Magic Flash continued to follow the Desert Dragonfly's figure and forcefully crashed into the meteor that had not yet fallen in mid-air, causing a violent explosion around the Desert Dragonfly!

Having achieved his goal of disrupting his opponent, Kyon stopped worrying about any damage he had caused and quickly ceased his attack. He then began to fly upwards, as his current altitude was relatively low, making him vulnerable to being caught in the blast of meteors.

The desert dragonfly in mid-air quickly dashed out of the blast radius. Even though it was its own special attack, the spread damage after the explosion didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

Ignoring the stings, the desert dragonfly swiftly twisted its body and locked onto Kyon, who was climbing higher.

"Dragon Pulse!"

The desert dragonfly flapped its wings and flew by, opening its mouth. A beam of surging energy passed over the falling meteor and rushed straight towards Kyon's body!

"Hold on!"

Mary and Kyon dared not be careless. Desert Dragonfly was obviously planning to retaliate against Kyon's interference. After successfully dodging the Dragon Pulse, the light turned and detonated all the surrounding meteors in the same way!

Boom boom boom—!

Kyon erected a light barrier to protect himself, pausing slightly before rushing out of the smoke. Mary's brief instructions were transmitted in his mind, and Kyon began to rapidly gather his power.

He didn't keep the Desert Dragonfly waiting too long, as any delay would arouse suspicion. Sensing his opponent's movements, Kyon timed his move perfectly, bursting out of the smoke and dust, completely ignoring the deafening explosions behind him. With a sudden turn, his pre-charged Meteor Beam erupted!

boom--!!!!

A massive beam of light descended from below, engulfing the desert dragonfly that was hovering in mid-air, unable to turn around in time! It then slammed it heavily onto the protective shield at the edge of the arena.

Of course, Kyon and Marie didn't think this move would render Flygon unable to fight, so Kyon continued to fly upwards, keeping the two Pokémon at the same height.

As the meteor beam gradually disappeared, before the desert dragonfly could even be seen, a purple beam suddenly shot out, but Kyon quickly dodged it and created more than a dozen afterimages, ready for battle.

"Sharp Stone Attack!"

But Qibana's attack did not stop. The desert dragonfly's figure flashed by, and dozens of sharp stone blades burst forth, rushing towards the phantom in mid-air.

"Power Gem!"

Kyon quickly chased after the desert dragonfly, ignoring the afterimage he had created. The light flashed and disappeared in front of him, shattering several stone edges, and he easily broke out of the attack range.

"Rockfall!"

Not to be outdone, Flygon changed position as instructed by Raihana, and a huge rock appeared, blocking the two Pokémon and pressing down on Kyon!

Upon seeing this, Mary thought to herself, "Oh no!" After Desert Dragonfly adjusted its position, the rockfall not only blocked Kyon's view, but also obscured Mary's view below, making it impossible for her to see the opponent's movements.

"Shadow clone, dodge!"

There was no other way; having lost sight of the enemy, they had no way of predicting where the opponent would attack from. They could only try to disrupt the Desert Dragonfly's judgment as much as possible.

The shadow, indistinguishable from reality, reappeared and dodged the oncoming rocks in all directions. Just as Kyon crossed the rocks and caught sight of the Desert Dragonfly, he saw a fireball compressed to its limit being pushed out in front of the Desert Dragonfly!

The fireball streaked across the sky like a meteor, crashing into the rocks in front of it and exploding into a giant '大'-shaped flame!

No matter how fast Kyon was, he couldn't avoid the area swept by the flames in such a short time. If he hadn't rushed out from behind the rocks, things would have been fine, but now, Kyon, who had just emerged, ran right into the flames of the explosion.

As expected, all the phantoms were engulfed by the flames, leaving only Kyon's physical form standing before him, creating a barrier of light.

Chapter 407 Exhausted and Unsuspecting Mary

After Kyon fell into the trap of the Desert Dragonfly, he tried his best to fight back, but was ultimately defeated by the Desert Dragonfly with a single Dragon Dive.

Raihana's remaining two Pokémon, Duraludon and Turtonator, also gave Marie a lot of trouble, but fortunately she still managed to win in the end.

As Marnie's starter Pokémon, Eevee's impeccable defensive tactics, combined with the rapid switching of other attackers, are extremely costly but also exceptionally effective.

Although they won, Mari was even more tired than Chibana. Facing Chibana's fierce attack, she had Ichigo coordinate with Bal's attack in order to find an opportunity to win. Because there was no room for error, both Ichigo and Mari were exhausted.

Somewhat dazed, Marie left the venue and handed over her Pokémon to Nurse Joy. She intended to sit and rest for a while, but Nurse Joy grabbed her by the collar and threw her into the bathroom.

She was still soaking wet, so it was clearly not a good time for her to close her eyes and rest.

Mary took a shower in a daze, changed her clothes, and left the bathroom without paying attention to where she was. She wandered around for a while, found a seat, and closed her eyes.

However, apart from the designated rest areas for guests, the rest of the arena is occupied by staff offices, so there are no vacant spots for people to rest.

A young woman who had just returned from picking up forms from another department blinked in confusion when she saw a girl sitting in her seat, head tilted to one side, fast asleep.

Leaning on her desk, the young woman placed the form in front of her computer and turned to look at her colleague. She only met the same bewildered gaze.

Slightly annoyed, the young woman scratched her head and leaned against the desk, looking down at the sleeping Mary. She naturally recognized the girl at her desk as the newcomer who had just defeated Chibana.

However, because she still had work to do, she didn't watch the live broadcast of the game very carefully. After thinking for a moment, she reached for her Rotom phone on the table, turned around and walked out of the office, while dialing the number for the medical department.

Most of the contestants who just came off the field have already been to Nurse Joy's side, and since Marie doesn't have a Poké Ball on her, even if all else fails, her Pokémon can take her away.

the other side,

Yuri waited alone on a chair in the medical area for Marie. She had come straight here after the fight, but Marie had been led to the bathroom by Nurse Joy and she hadn't seen Marie, so she had no choice but to wait here for Marie's Pokémon.

"Miss Yuri? Could you come here for a moment?"

While I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard Miss Joey's pleasant voice. I looked up and saw Miss Joey holding a microphone in one hand and waving at me.

"Ah—okay, has Marie's Pokémon been healed?"

Yuri responded and quickly got up, carrying Nebula to the counter. However, Miss Joy simply smiled and handed her the landline phone.

"……Hello?"

"Hello, are you Yuri?"

The clear female voice coming from the receiver startled Yuri for a moment. She subconsciously nodded in agreement.

"Ah, yes, it's me. May I ask what's the matter?"

"Luckily, Joey said you were over there..."

The stranger's voice on the other end of the line visibly relaxed, and as the explanation on the phone was given, Yuri's expression gradually changed from confusion to surprise, and finally to a rather strange expression.

"Yes, I understand... I'll go and take the person away right now."

Yuri, feeling both amused and exasperated, handed the receiver back to Miss Joey, scratching her head somewhat sheepishly as she said:

"Thank you, Sister Joey. I'll go and bring Mary back now..."

"It's alright, it's alright, go ahead."

"Ha ha……"

Faced with Joey's smiling eyes, Yuri scratched her head shyly, turned around and ran out.
