Chapter 578 Before the Red Moon Arrives
"Boom."
Covered in black smoke, Promromu fell from the sky, creating a big hole on the ground. It was obvious that he had lost his ability to fight.
The surroundings fell into an eerie silence, as if no one had recovered from Gyarados's gorgeous and powerful black hole attack just now.
"Goo."
The referee swallowed, and for the first time, this professional referee seemed unprofessional. It took him a moment to react, and he ran to Plombrom to check its condition.
"Plorom has lost its ability to fight. Please replace it with the next Pokémon." Soon, the referee's loud voice spread throughout the battlefield.
"Phew, it worked. Well done, old carp."
Lin Shi's breathing was a little rapid and he felt a little tired, but his face was full of joy. Lin Shi knew that the moves he and Gyarados used were not the real black hole that swallowed up everything.
The effect just shown was very different from the performance in the games and animations he remembered. Lin Shi guessed that this was because his bracelet was not made of Radiant Stone and lacked the mysterious power of the Radiant God.
But even so, the power of the move just now has already made him very satisfied. He plans to subtract a few words from the original name of this move and temporarily name it - Black Hole Devouring.
In addition, he used the power of Super Conquer to directly communicate with Gyarados' inner world.
Therefore, Lin Shi didn't have to dance awkwardly with Gyarados to get in sync, which was in line with Lin Shi's wishes. After all, he was used to keeping a low profile, and if he performed the Z-moves in public, he would find it a bit difficult to... accept it.
“Tsk… this…”
On the other side, Ye Junhao was holding a Poké Ball with a strange look on his face. He only had one Pokémon left, but Lin Shi still had three, two of which were intact. His chance of winning was almost zero...
"I can kind of understand how other people feel when facing this guy. How come every elf is so evil..."
Ye Junhao looked at Lin Shi, bared his teeth, and talked to himself with a depressed expression.
But even so, he will fight to the last moment and will not give up until the last moment!
"Come out, Metagross!"
Ye Junhao sent the last elf into the field, which was the famous quasi-god elf - Metagross. At this moment, it was suspended in the air, and its sharp eyes exuded a powerful aura.
"Ouch!"
After defeating Plomb, Gyarados's characteristics were activated again, and its attacks began to increase. Its whole body radiated a dazzling golden light. As its emotions became more and more high, its strength also began to gradually increase. Just flying in the air gave people a strong sense of oppression.
……
In the final battle, there was no surprise. Gyarados defeated Metagross with great force. After all, although Metagross was a quasi-god, it did not have a black and gold coating like Prometheus, nor did it have the peculiar characteristics of the Desert Dragonfly.
The quasi-god's own abilities alone were not enough to pose a real threat to the Gyarados that had been strengthened many times, and he was unfortunately defeated.
At this point, the first semi-final of the National Youth Championship ended successfully with Gyarados's strong performance of three consecutive victories. Lin Shi became the first player to advance to the finals. He will compete with the winner between Huang Chenyu and Mo Caiyi for the championship of this competition!
After the game, Lin Shi quickly received a message from Ye Junhao, who said that he was willing to accept defeat and promised to give Lin Shi all the black gold, but it would take some time.
Lin Shi was also relieved about this. Ye Junhao was obviously an extremely proud person, and such a person would never go back on his word. Moreover, as a direct descendant of the Pet Elf Company, these metals should not be a difficult task for him to obtain.
After replying to Ye Junhao, Lin Shi turned to look at the TV hanging on the wall, or to be more precise, the program on TV, and frowned.
"Ahead of schedule? This is too unfortunate. It's all Polaris' fault..."
Lin Shi muttered to himself with a worried look on his face.
……
"What?! You want to go back to Baishan City now? What about your competition? There are only four days left until the finals. Can you make it in time?"
Listening to what Lin Shi said just now, Su Qimeng said in a lost voice, It's already this critical moment, is there anything that can't be put aside?
"I can't do anything about it. The blood moon has appeared earlier than expected."
Lin Shi spread his hands and pointed to the weather news report on TV.
The blood moon phenomenon is a unique astronomical phenomenon. It occurs because during this period of time, the thick atmosphere absorbs all purple, blue, green and yellow light, leaving only red light to penetrate, dyeing the moon completely red, which is very spectacular.
The reason why Lin Shi cares about this is, of course, because it concerns the final evolution of the Circle Bear.
The evolved form of Circle Bear is Moon Bear. Its most iconic feature is the pattern of clouds covering the moon on its forehead. It can be said that the whole elf is closely related to the moon.
The special form of Moon Bear - the Heyue posture - is the state that Lin Shi has always longed for. This form of Moon Bear has not been discovered in the world today. It is a brand new form of elf.
Lin Shi did want to evolve Circle Bear into Moon Bear in Heyue form, but he has not been able to do so for a long time. In the original game, Heyue Bear is a unique existence and cannot appear by evolving or changing the form of Moon Bear.
Its birth was full of accidents and coincidences, so even Lin Shi had no confidence in its evolution to this form, until Lin Shi obtained the Crescent Feather (red color) from Arcanine.
If nothing unexpected happens, this crescent feather must have been left by Cresselia. This also gave Lin Shi an inspiration. Since the color of the moon changes, does it mean that in the case of a blood moon, the Circle Bear has a chance to evolve into a Black Moon Bear?
This was not entirely Lin Shi's spur of the moment. Pokémon is a magical creature, and their evolutionary conditions are varied and affected by various factors.
Rock Dog evolves at different times of the day and can evolve into three different forms: day, night and dusk.
Therefore, regardless of whether this condition has any impact on the evolution of Circle Bear, Lin Shi wants to give it a try. Of course, he also asked Circle Bear for his opinion in advance, and Circle Bear also expressed his willingness.
As a veteran among the forest elves, Circle Bear increasingly feels that his strength is somewhat weaker than that of several other brother elves in the team, and he also wants to try his best to master more powerful power.
Lin Shi had noticed the time of the blood moon early on. According to his original estimate, the blood moon should have appeared after the game, but who knew it would suddenly appear earlier.
Coupled with the disruption caused by Polaris, the game was postponed, resulting in the current situation where the blood moon has arrived before the final is over.
Lin Shi was also helpless, but he really didn't want to miss it. Who knew when the next blood moon would be? Maybe it would be two years or maybe three years. It was completely impossible for Circle Bear to wait for such a long time at this stage.
Therefore, under various factors, Lin Shi decided to take a risk. He wanted to take Circle Bear to evolve now and get back before the game!
