Pokémon Heart Journey

Chapter 303: The Finalists (2)

The hot sand had not yet subsided, and the countdown to the next round had already sounded on the radio.

"Both players have lost Pidgeot and Scaled Dragon simultaneously! Please send out your fifth Pokémon!"

Yu Longyuan raised his hand and swung the Poké Ball, and the Poké Ball drew a sharp arc.

"Go ahead, Double Axe Dragon!"

White light exploded, and the double-axe war dragon fell heavily to the ground. Its double-edged fangs flashed coldly in the sunlight, and its red pupils locked onto the opposite side.

Xiao Mao's right hand also raised at the same moment.

"Alakazam—it's your turn."

A purple shadow flashed, and Hu Di was suspended in mid-air, with the spoons crossed, and the ripples of mental power around his body were like ripples on water.

When their eyes met, the air seemed to be sucked out in an instant.

"Battle—Begin!"

……

Yu Longyuan took the lead and attacked: "Dragon God swoops!"

The double-axe war dragon roared and kicked its hind legs hard, causing spider web cracks to appear on the ground. Dragon energy wrapped around the pair of huge fangs, turning into a purple-red lightning and crashing straight into Alakazam.

Xiao Mao only uttered one word: "Teleport."

Alakazam disappeared in an instant, his double-edged headbutt barely leaving a trace. The next moment, Alakazam appeared ten meters behind the Twin Axe War Dragon, wielding his spoon lightly.

"Spiritual Blade!"

The pale purple scimitar condensed from telekinesis broke through the air and accurately slashed towards the dragon's tail.

Yu Longyuan was prepared: "Sweep the dragon's tail!"

The twin-axe dragon spun violently, its tail swirling with bluish-white dragon energy as it collided head-on with the spiritual blade. With a bang, the blade was shattered, but a fine crack remained on its tail scales, and blood oozed out.

The recoil force caused the double-axe dragon to slide back half a step, but it took advantage of the momentum to turn around, and the dragon glow on its fangs lit up again.

"Venomous attack!"

Yulongyuan changed the rhythm, and a strange purple light appeared on the edges of the fangs of the double-axe war dragon.

Xiao Mao narrowed his eyes, crossed his Alakazam spoon, and his figure became blurred again.

"substitute."

The fangs pierced only a telekinetic afterimage. The afterimage disintegrated, and Alakazam's true form appeared high in the sky, looking down, a faint blue beam illuminating his pupils.

"Phantom light!"

A rainbow-shaped column of telekinetic light swooped down.

Yu Longyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Charge forward, Ni Lin!"

The Twin Axe War Dragon's eyes instantly glowed red, its dragon energy surging throughout its body. Crimson air streams gushed from the cracks in its scales, like a coat of blood-red flames. Braving the illusionary light, it forcibly tore through the curtain of light, leaping up, its fangs pointed directly at Alakazam.

The audience burst into exclamations. The dragon-type explosive power under the reverse scales was enough to tear steel apart!

However, Xiao Mao's mouth corners curled up slightly.

"I'm waiting for you to jump."

"gravity!"

Alakazam pressed down with both spoons, and purple-black gravity ripples instantly enveloped the entire venue.

The double-axe war dragon in mid-air was hit by a huge hammer, and its body sank suddenly. The momentum of its reverse scales was cut off, and it slammed back into the sand, splashing a dust curtain several meters high.

The gravity field pressed its limbs into the sand, causing its bones to creak.

"End it—Psychic Shock!"

The blue light in Hu Di's eyes surged, and an invisible torrent of mental power poured down, bombarding continuously like a huge hammer weighing ten thousand pounds.

The sand was first pressed into round pits, and then cracked inch by inch.

The double-axe war dragon let out a low roar, and the light of its blood-flame scales was crushed bit by bit by its mental power. Finally, with a dull "bang", its huge body fell to the ground, and its double-edged fangs were deeply embedded in the sand, and there was no sound.

The referee raised the red flag high: "Double Axe War Dragon is incapacitated! Alakazam wins!"

Yu Longyuan took a deep breath, retracted his twin axe dragons, and gently stroked the ball with his fingertips: "Thank you for your hard work..."

He raised his head and looked at Hu Di who was still floating in the air - the figure seemed unfathomable under the scorching sun.

Xiao Mao nodded slightly, his voice not loud, but enough to penetrate the heat wave:

"There's only one left, Yulongyuan."

Yu Longyuan narrowed his eyes, pushed the button of the last Poké Ball with his thumb, and a red light flickered in his palm.

"Then come on—let this confrontation truly reach a fever pitch."

"Go ahead and bite the land shark!"

Red light exploded into a sharp arc under the blazing sun. The sand shook violently. The instant Garchomp landed, its sickle-shaped fin blades whipped up a circular wave of sand. Its golden pupils locked onto Alakazam in mid-air. The lingering gravitational ripples in the air, still lingering, were ripped apart by the sandstorm blast from its dorsal fin.

"Greco-Sandstorm!"

A roar like a knife, and sand, pulled by dragon energy, rose from the ground, transforming into a yellow dust tornado that obscured the sky in the blink of an eye. The sunlight was shattered into pieces, and Alakazam's hovering form began to waver for the first time, his telekinetic membrane sparking as the high-speed sand impacted it.

Xiao Mao raised his hand, crossing the spoon: "Strengthen your spirit!"

Alakazam's eyes flashed blue, and his invisible telekinesis transformed into a giant, transparent palm, slamming down on Garchomp from above. The sandstorm was instantly crushed, creating a three-meter-wide vacuum print, and the ground cracked. Garchomp's hind legs sank half a foot into the sand, but he bared his shark teeth, his blood-red eyes ablaze with bloodlust.

"Rush forward—Dragon God swoops!"

The sickle-shaped fin blade was wrapped with purple-red dragon energy, and the Land Shark crouched low like an arrow shot from a bow. The violent power of the Dragon God's dive made it drag a scarlet trail in the sandstorm.

Alakazam teleported to avoid the attack, but the afterimage of his telekinesis was torn to pieces by Sharktooth, leaving three charred claw marks on the sand.

"Come again, mental shock!"

Xiao Mao's command was cold and pointed. Alakazam teleported behind Garchomp, his spoon pointed downward at his spine. A torrent of telekinesis transformed into a tangible purple beam that crashed down. A massive bowl-shaped crater was instantly carved into the sand, and Garchomp's scales exploded. But in the next second, he turned and swung his scythe.

"Split the tiles!"

The sickle-shaped fin blade, wrapped in a white light of combat, cut accurately into Alakazam's chest. Alakazam teleported again, but was half a beat too late - the combat energy brushed past the telekinetic shield, shaking its body and causing the spoon to emit a sharp metallic tremor.

Yu Longyuan seized this momentary opportunity and suddenly clenched his five fingers together: "Catch him in the quicksand hell!"

The sandstorm suddenly contracted, transforming into a high-speed vortex of sand that tightly wrapped around Alakazam's ankle. As soon as the teleportation light flashed, he was pulled back to his original position by the sand flow.

"Dragon Claw Attack!"

Garchomp soared, scything down with his scythes. Alakazam hastily raised his arms, his telekinetic barrier shattering into shreds beneath the dragon's claws. The first strike tore through the shield, and the second struck him squarely in the chest, a streak of blood piercing the air.

Xiao Mao's eyes flashed, and he crossed his spoons: "Gravity field, maximum power!"

Alakazam suddenly pressed down on the spoon, sending purple-black gravity waves sweeping across the sky like a wave. Garchomp's body sank, its feet sinking half a foot into the sand, its bones creaking under the weight. But it bared its teeth, and the sandstorm vortex on its dorsal fin surged against the tide.

"Crush it!"

The fury of the inverse scales defied gravity, and Garchomp leaped upwards, its teeth entwined with dark, demonic energy, as it bit Alakazam's left arm. Its telekinetic shield crumbled under the erosion of the demonic energy, and blood dripped down the spoon.

"Smash him with a mental attack!"

Xiao Mao said in a low voice.

Alakazam gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and placed the spoon against Garchomp's forehead. A torrent of telekinesis erupted like a cannonball. A massive circular crater was created in the sand, and Garchomp was sent flying back ten meters, a deep furrow plowed across his back.

But the moment it landed, its sickle blade stabilised itself by slashing into the sand. Its golden pupils burned with a fiercer fighting spirit. A sandstorm roared overhead, as if responding to its fury.

"Sandstorm, let them see your control over the earth!"

Yu Longyuan clenched his five fingers, and the sand compressed into countless rapidly rotating sand blades around Liebite Lu Shark. The next moment, it transformed into a gray-yellow lightning and rose from the ground. The sound of the sickle blades tearing through the air was like a dragon's roar.

"Dragon God swoops—"

Alakazam was about to teleport, but he found that the sand blades blocked all angles. The gravity field was temporarily disrupted by the sandstorm, and the light of teleportation was abruptly cut off.

boom! ! !

The sickle blade pierced through the telekinetic shield, and dragon energy exploded in Alakazam's chest. Like a kite with a broken string, the purple figure flew backwards twenty meters, slamming heavily into the sand, raising a final curtain of dust.

The sandstorm slowly subsided.

Alakazam lay quietly at the bottom of the cracked pit, his spoon broken, his telekinesis gleaming like a candle in the wind. The referee's red flag was raised high, his voice piercing the heat:

"Alakazam loses its ability to fight! Garchomp wins!"

Yu Longyuan let out a long breath and looked at the bloodstained dorsal fin of the Liebite Land Shark: "Thank you for your hard work, old partner."

Xiao Mao retracted Alakazam, lingering his fingertips on the ball for three seconds before looking up at the other side. The two stared at each other across the rolling dust. Under the scorching sun, only the last Poké Ball remained, pulsing in his palm.

The true end is coming soon.
