Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

Then, Dongfang Ming suddenly put his hands on his waist, making a gesture of gathering strength.

For the first time, he struck a pose as if he were using a Z-Move!

The Z-Move looks like a dance, but it's actually a rather embarrassing move. It's usually only used by beginners to improve their concentration.

Now, Dongfang Ming is making the Z-move motion.

No one would assume he was unfamiliar with Electric-type Z-Moves.

There is only one conclusion: he regarded this move as his last resort, and poured all his mental energy into it!

A faint blue light visibly emanated from Dongfang Ming's body.

That's the power of waveguides.

But it was quickly enveloped by a layer of golden electric light, the power within the Z-pure crystal.

In the blink of an eye, the waveguide power was absorbed and then all merged into a ball of energy that flew into Raikou's body.

"Roar!!!"

Having received the power from its trainer, the Dynamaxed Raikouyang roared to the sky, just as it had when it first appeared.

The clouds that had been forcibly dispersed by 0.6 Lugia reappeared in the blink of an eye, filling the entire sky in the time it took to breathe, and shrouding the surrounding area for tens of kilometers in a golden glow.

This time, instead of dark clouds, golden clouds appeared.

Each cloud was filled with the thunderous power unique to the Thunder God, so thick that it seemed ready to overflow at any moment.

Among them, the thunderclouds above Lugia's head were the most solid, as if they were no longer clouds but a mountain about to collapse.

In the distance, Dongfang Ming stretched out his hand, pointed at Lugia, and issued commands in a roaring voice.

"Z-Move, Radiant Thunder God's Wrath!"

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

The thunder roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.

In an instant, all the golden clouds burst open, and countless bolts of golden lightning poured out.

470. Dark Tornado

A magnificent, thunderous river cascaded down like a waterfall across the peaceful landscape, as if to open a breach and fill a pool of thunder.

Fortunately, the elves within a radius of tens of kilometers had already fled before this move was launched.

Viewers watching the live stream, the Four Heavenly Kings observing on-site, and Dongfang Ming himself were all gazing at the golden waterfall formed by lightning, marveling at the power of the Thunder God.

If such a force were to fall on a city, it could easily destroy a city in an instant.

The legendary elves truly live up to their reputation as beings with the power to destroy nations!

At the same time, everyone is searching for an answer.

Did Lugia lose?

This result, besides being known only after Thunder Falls has stopped flowing, can also be predicted in advance by...

Dong Yan looked at Nan Feng.

He still had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, looking confident and in control of everything.

Lugia, a Flying-type, is bathed in the Raikou-summoned Raikou swamp...

I don't know whether to call him arrogant or confident.

However, Dong Yan understood Nanfeng's smile.

Dong Yan imagined (Nanfeng: That's it? Then I've got checkmate!)

　03 Then Nanfeng slowly reached out and pressed down.

"Lugia, Dark Tornado!"

When Nanfeng recited this move, he felt as if he were commanding "Dark WarGreymon".

All of a sudden.

The sea, dyed golden by lightning, was suddenly enveloped by darkness, no longer expanding outwards but instead being swallowed up and beginning to shrink.

It was as if a giant beast from the seabed had opened its abyssal maw and swallowed all the Raize that came from the sky as a delicious drink!

For a long while, Raikou's Super Special Z-Move "Radiant Raikou's Wrath" had not yet ceased. Meanwhile, the darkness that devoured the gold had forcefully risen!

The sea churned like boiling water, and a giant, dark tornado rose from this boiling water, shooting straight into the sky!

Braving the torrent of lightning, they had to directly block the opening through which the thunder was pouring down!

The next second, Razer disappeared from everyone's sight, revealing the majestic golden tiger body of the Dynamaxed Raikou.

It too was enveloped and swallowed by the dark storm.

"boom!"

The thunderclouds pouring down on the swamp were pierced by a dark tornado! Twisting and stretching further into the distance!

Its desires and ambitions went beyond just thunderclouds; it wanted to tear a huge hole in the sky. But this massive tornado slowly shrank and disappeared within a minute.

Calm has returned to the skies over the Pacific Ocean.

"Where did Raikou and Lugia go?" someone couldn't help but ask.

This is also the sentiment of countless viewers watching the live stream right now.

Dongfang Ming and the other three Heavenly Kings immediately looked at the gradually calming sea.

The seemingly calm sea was still covered by a layer of black, as if a group of squid had dyed the ocean with their ink. Beneath it lay countless undercurrents and whirlpools; not to mention humans, even elves who were accidentally swept into them would only meet their demise.

There is no doubt that Raikou and Lugia are now fighting underwater.

Dongfang Ming's face darkened. He suddenly remembered that although Lugia was a Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon and was known as the "God of Monsoons and Ocean Currents," it was also called the Sea God. Along the coast, both domestically and internationally, there was a custom and tradition of venerating it as the God of the Sea.

Because it spends most of its time at the bottom of the sea and is also proficient in water-based techniques.

The reason it doesn't have a water type might simply be because Pokémon cannot possess all three types at the same time.

However, Dongfang Ming was helpless.

Lei Gong's location had disappeared from his waveguide perception range.

Raikou has not undergone any bond evolution, and I have never established a bond with Raikou, so I cannot use the bond to sense its state, and therefore I cannot issue commands.

He looked up at Nanfeng, who was smiling at him.

It's as if it's saying, "I won this round, and your championship is mine too."

In reality...

"Raiko's Super Special Z-Move, Radiant Raiko's Wrath!"

"The coverage is extremely wide, and the power is multiplied, it feels like the Ultimate Volt Lightning Strike has been unleashed hundreds of times."

"If I'm not mistaken, the key to this move lies in the buildup before its release. The player begins preparing for this move as soon as they enter the arena. The so-called dodging and stacking buffs, besides increasing strength, also serve to conceal their intention to accumulate energy for this move."

"Although it requires advance planning, the power and range of this move more than make up for the drawback of needing to charge it up."

"Very good, your move is quite good, so it's mine now!"

Nanfeng smiled to herself.

He had been pleased with himself for having secretly learned another special move. And it was a super move that he hadn't even considered, one that Zeraora could also use.

Feels great, this fight was worth it!

As for whether Lugia will lose its ability to fight after taking Raikou's attack...

Nanfeng wasn't worried at all.

The instant the lightning struck, Lugia had already activated "Teleport + Switcheroo," teleporting himself to the seabed thousands of meters below and setting up a defense of "Wide Area Defense + Protect + Mystic Charm," along with the subsequent recovery from Water Ring.

It's uncertain whether Raikou's Radiant Wrath will actually cause any damage when it spreads across a thousand meters of sea surface and lands on Lugia 210's defenses.

In contrast, Lugia's attack...

Dark Tornado!

The water tornado is created using the Flying-type "Storm" as its core, and the Water-type "Whirlpool" technique is added to enhance centrifugal force. The Psychic-type "Gravity" is then used to enhance traction and suction.

The three complement each other, stirring up the ocean and devouring the Thunder Swamp is a piece of cake.

Thunder God wanted to resist but couldn't. It felt like it was fighting against the entire ocean, and as a result, it was helplessly sucked into it.

Finally, there's Lugia's unique "dark element" as a dark elf.

As a pure electric-type Raikou, its only weakness is ground-type attacks. But on this vast ocean, how could it possibly withstand attacks from ground-type attacks?

But now that there's the Dark element, you'll take double the damage no matter what your attribute is!

“The battle is over,” Nanfeng said.

The voice just fell.

A dazzling light rose from the bottom of the dark sea, and Lei Gong's body floated to the surface, but his eyes were now filled with whirlpools, and his limbs had lost their strength.

Another dark shadow broke through the sea, and Lugia flapped its wings and soared into the sky, casting its shadow over the entire ocean!

The winner has been decided.

471. Global Hot Topic

"Raikou is unable to battle, Lugia wins, and Trainer Dongfangming has no Pokémon to use. Therefore, the final winner is Trainer Nanfeng!"

The referee's voice announced the result of the match through the live broadcast equipment.

This also marked the end of the championship battle.

"You're very strong, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

"Congratulations on becoming the new champion of the Dragon Kingdom, and also the youngest champion in the Dragon Kingdom," Dongfang Ming stepped forward to congratulate you.

As a former champion, he certainly possessed the demeanor expected of a champion, though his expression still betrayed the dejection of defeat.

"Thank you for your guidance. You are very strong too. This was a wonderful duel," Nanfeng replied. He had also learned a lot from the elves of Dongfangming.

In the distance, Dong Yan and the other two Heavenly Kings approached as the battle ended.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Dongfang Mingchao nodded slightly to Nanfeng, released a giant salamander that carried him away from Nanfeng, avoiding the three Heavenly Kings.

"What's wrong with Dongfang? He left without even saying goodbye," said Old Master Peng Dou, puffing on his pipe as he gazed in the direction Dongfang Ming had gone.

“He said he had something to do, so he left first,” Nanfeng replied.

"What could possibly have happened? He's probably afraid of being ridiculed by us old folks."

"South Wind Kid, congratulations! I didn't expect you to actually give East Wind Kid a good beating and become the Dragon Kingdom's new champion."

"Congratulations, Nanfeng, you'll be our boss from now on."

Peng Dou and Li Yan both offered their congratulations.

Only Dong Yan asked a seemingly random question: "Nanfeng, how much of your strength did you use to defeat Dongfang Ming?"

"What percentage of strength..." Although it was strange why Senior Yu would suddenly ask this, Nanfeng still thought about it seriously.

"About... 50%."

Greninja, their ace Pokémon, did not participate. Gardevoir, which has mastered Slash, did not appear. Although Garchomp participated, the power of Treasure Abundance was not displayed.

Strictly speaking, he probably didn't even use half of his strength to defeat Dongfang Ming.

50%.

Upon hearing this, the three Heavenly Kings fell silent.

However, it is undeniable that Southwind did not lose any of its Pokémon's ability to battle from beginning to end, and its signature Pokémon Greninja and Gardevoir were not even deployed.

It's somewhat disheartening that what was supposed to be an evenly matched contest turned into a one-sided battle, especially since Nanfeng only used half of his strength.

The champion is terrifyingly powerful!

Considering Nanfeng's age, the three of them couldn't help but think, "We never want to face Nanfeng again in this lifetime."

"Yes, I'll just concede defeat at next year's King of Fighters meeting."
