Not to mention the light wall, the sandstorm weather can also increase the special defense of the Cradle Lily with rock attributes. At this moment, its special resistance is enough to easily withstand the freezing beam of the Thorn Dragon King.
Replying is even simpler.
The first confrontation between the two ended with the Thorn Dragon King unilaterally losing strength.
Although it is difficult to determine the winner due to the temporary advantage, any discerning person can see that the current rhythm of the game is firmly in Daigo's hands.
Genji's Pokémon were repeatedly suppressed shortly after the start of the game.
no doubt.
Armored Bird played a very important role of "carrying on the past". It made Genji's Pokémon frequently come and go on the field, and it was unknown how many times StealthGround took the hits.
The subsequent desert dragonfly gave the telekinetic clay doll so many opportunities to attack, which was a disaster within a disaster.
It’s difficult to stab the Dragon King!
Kashiwagi mourned in his heart for this Pokémon that was supposed to be the core special attacker of the Rainy Day Team.
The hexagon is still a hexagon, without the blessing of props and the leisurely acceleration, the opponent still has the water-drawing property, so it is useless to open the rainy day. The strength of the Thorn Dragon King is at least half gone.
Hitting the mark…
Is this the only turning point?
Inside the venue.
Smoke once again poured out of the Thorn Dragon King's mouth, covering a small half of the battlefield around Cradle Lily.
A small part of the thick black smoke dissipated as the wind howled, but most of it remained gathered and would not disperse no matter how the yellow sand eroded it.
Cradle Lily remained unmoved.
The double walls and sandstorm do have time limits, but once the Thorn Dragon chooses to delay time, it can directly use enhanced moves to strengthen itself.
It will be even harder to fight then!
Genji naturally understood this, so he let the Thorn Dragon King approach quietly.
It suddenly emerged from the mist behind Cradle Lily and spit out a stream of pure white smoke towards it.
It's a yawn!
Kashiwagi was startled for a moment, but soon realized something and looked at Daigo.
Just then it saw the yawning smoke cloud covering the Cradle Lily, but it didn't care. It immediately sent out four tentacles to entangle the Thorn Dragon King and then whipped the remaining four back and forth!
Boom!
From the continuous sound of heavy blows and the Thorn Dragon King's desperate struggle, it is not difficult to see that this move is very powerful.
but.
The durability of the Thorn Dragon King was good after all, and a set of powerful whippings could not defeat it.
Cradle Lily held on to the Thorn Dragon King tightly to prevent it from breaking free, and its four idle tentacles condensed into a green seed above its head.
Bang!
The seeds exploded and fell down in smoke.
[Trouble Seed] is a magical move that can change a Pokémon's characteristic into [Never Sleep].
It can only be used on enemies in the game, but it is not that special in the animation world. The effect will appear as long as you aim it at yourself.
The vast majority of moves do not have the function of distinguishing between friend and foe.
The key is that Daigo used this move to resist the yawn of the Thorn Dragon King. In theory, it did break it, but it changed from attracting water to keeping it awake, and it is no longer immune to water-attribute energy!
Genji bet on this! ?
He looked at the struggling Thorn Dragon King in surprise, and saw a white light suddenly appear on its body surface, gradually merging into its eyes and mouthparts that looked like a gun barrel. He suddenly realized what was going on.
[Sharpening]!
I see! The Thorn Dragon King has this skill that will definitely hit the vital point with his next move!
Water cannon is probably its most powerful move, so it would rather endure the powerful whipping of Cradle Lily than destroy the characteristics of Cradle Lily.
Daigo fell into the trap!
Kashiwagi was tense, and Daigo himself seemed to realize this, and ordered Cradle Lily to use the powerful whipping with all her strength.
Cradle Lily, which was in danger, also gathered all its strength to swing its green tentacles and lash out at Dragonite's body wildly. However, the strong will of the Pokémon under Genji allowed Dragonite to hold on to the end.
The water cannon is about to be activated!
Kashiwagi, who was watching the battle, felt anxious and clenched his right fist tightly.
"The Thorn Dragon King uses his mouth to attack, so use his tentacles to block his mouth!"
"Don't worry about whether it's ugly or not at this time!"
He wished he could rush onto the field to replace Cradle Lily and block the Thorn Dragon King's mouth, but unfortunately, Cradle Lily chose to attack the Thorn Dragon King with fair moves in the end, instead of taking the "evil path".
at last.
A deep blue light flashed from the long-tube mouthparts of the Thorn Dragon King, and it aimed at the Cradle Lily, which had no way to dodge because it was rooted. It aimed at the dark spot in the middle of the opponent's head, and gushed out a raging column of water!
boom--! !
The azure water flowed like a raging wave, and it did not stop even after hitting the cradle lilies. It rushed up into the sky and turned into a huge body of water, breaking through the sandstorm and being illuminated by the sun, casting a faint rainbow light on the venue!
The audience exclaimed in unison.
With the help of the commentary, even those who know nothing about combat know that Daigo and Cradle Lily are in danger.
The Dragon King's critical water cannon is powerful enough to penetrate the wall of light, and its sniper feature increases the already terrifying critical power exponentially!
The only thing left for Cradle Lily is the special defense it gained from the sandstorm...
Everyone looked at the misty field nervously, waiting for the result of the Dragon King's attack.
Suddenly.
There was a colorful flash in Kashiwagi's vision, and he was slightly startled, "Huh?"
next moment.
The azure beam of light broke through the smoke and dust, and bombarded the body of the Thorn Dragon King who was bound by the tentacles with incomparable ferocity. Attribute energy that was even more powerful than the water cannon just now gushed out crazily!
Rumble, rumble, rumble——!!
There were continuous loud noises, and the source of the light beams came from the cradle lilies that were deeply rooted in the ground.
"reflection of mirror!"
There was no way he would make a mistake with such a commonly used move. The colorful light that just flashed in the fog was most likely a precursor to the mirror reflection absorbing the power and returning it doubled.
Cradle Lily actually withstood the sniper blast water cannon from the Thorn Dragon King!
Kashiwagi thought about it and decided to change to the Different Colored Milotic...ah, this guy should be able to withstand it, after all, he is resistant to water attributes, but the Galar Solar Coral probably can't.
Is this the Pokémon of the champion?
He once again deeply realized the gap between himself and the top group of trainers in the world. As long as the main force did not reach the same level as Daigo, he would not be able to become a true regional champion.
The light in the field dimmed.
The sandstorm stopped, and the two colorful light screens beside Cradle Lily disappeared.
The weather and the double walls ended at the same time, taking away the last bit of the Thorn Dragon King's strength.
Counting the many injuries it has suffered -
The invisible rock, the substitute, the sandstorm weather, two consecutive powerful whips and the final mirror reflection are already very exaggerated.
Looking at the cradle lily again, its physical strength is always very abundant and almost full when it is rooted.
It is indeed a pipe dream to think that you can kill it instantly with a single burst of water cannon.
Kashiwagi turned around and thought carefully, and realized that he had been overwhelmed by the momentum of the last-ditch battle between Thorny Dragon King and Genji, and underestimated Daigo's ability.
Is it really necessary to use that seed of worry?
After Cradle Lily takes root, it cannot be exchanged with a Poké Ball, nor does it have other moves to eliminate abnormal states. Not worrying about the seeds will indeed put itself in danger.
But maybe, it is also a trap?
In short, after the first half, Genji, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, was unable to gain any advantage over Daigo.
Kashiwagi has always heard old man Aoyagi say that if Daigo had not risen, Genji would probably have been the champion of Hoenn long ago, but now he sees that there is a gap between the two.
Either Genji is too weak, or Daigo is too strong!
Having fought in a three-on-three match and narrowly won by using attribute restraint, Kashiwagi naturally would not think that Genji was weak.
"..."
He began to simulate the battle with Cradle Lily in his mind.
below.
There is no intermission.
A championship defense requires a consistent and consistent fight to the end.
After taking back the Thorn, Genji, who had already defeated three Pokémon in a row, did not hesitate and quickly sent out his fourth.
"Roar!"
A heart-shaking roar came from below!
Kashiwagi quickly came to his senses and saw that Genji actually let Dragonite enter the field in the middle of the game. He wondered if he was planning to use the Intimidate feature to reduce the attack of Cradle Lich.
The gain outweighs the loss!
The invisible rock that had been present throughout the entire scene reappeared, and as if it had intelligence, it took the initiative to approach the Tyrannosaurus and explode!
Bang!
Smoke billows.
Then a breeze blew away the dust, revealing a dragon that was flapping its wings slowly.
It is restrained by the rock attribute, so if it encounters invisible rock, the damage it receives will also increase. So if Genji only wants to intimidate Cradle Lily, it would be a loss to choose this.
However, Daigo's Metagross has the characteristic of a permanently pure body, so intimidation is useless against it. Using it to intimidate Cradle Lily, who is good at powerful whipping, is also a good use of it.
