Chapter 148 Shouting My Name!
Chapter 148 Shouting My Name!
A huge, colorful genetic symbol appeared on the top of Salamence's head, and a blinding white light spread out from Salamence as its center!
"In the name of the inheritor of the Sky Tower! Summon the power of eternity! Holy light gathers upon the crimson wings, and with that raging, sublime power, defeat my enemy! Mega Evolution! Mega Salamence!" Li Linfeng shouted! Mega Salamence flapped its crescent-shaped crimson wings and soared into the sky!
Nobody thought it was chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur)! They just felt their blood was boiling! It wasn't Li Linfeng who was chuunibyou, because unless you deliberately suppress it, trainers will always subconsciously make a chuunibyou declaration when it comes to things like Mega Evolution, even though they never rehearsed it beforehand. And why this happens has always been a mystery.
Over time, calling out trainees' names became a tradition, and these names often carried some information, such as Li Linfeng's title as the successor of the Sky Tower.
Arceus (true form): (?w?) Hehe, sounds good, give me more.
Bai Jingtian stood up from his seat. Besides fighting, his favorite thing was elf battles. He was a complete battle maniac!
"She actually evolved right off the bat! But it's okay! I love both of them the same!"
Before the host could even begin to explain, the entire venue erupted in cheers! Super Evolution was a specialty of the North Campus, and they were naturally very much looking forward to it! But they hadn't expected it to arrive so early!
However, Qiuya, as the host, still maintained her professional ethics and insisted on commentating: "The North Academy has sent out Mega Salamence! It's a pseudo-legendary Pokémon that has undergone Mega Evolution! And the East Academy has sent out a Mythical Pokémon named Magearna! There's only one of its kind in the entire world! Not only is it Fairy-type, but its level is also Elite Four level! It's a level higher than Mega Salamence!"
Everyone present except Qi Hao was shocked. How could it be a Heavenly King level? Wasn't this a bit too much?
Li Linfeng's expression became even more solemn. Dragon-type was already countered by Fairy-type, and now the opponent's level was a whole tier higher.
Should he back out? Li Linfeng immediately dismissed the thought. He couldn't back out, not because of pride, but because he would look down on himself from the bottom of his heart.
He wanted to fight! He wanted to win! He wanted to completely let his emotions out! The only thing he didn't want was to go against his own heart!
He placed the Key Stone against his chest, the power of his emotions connecting him to Salamence, allowing Salamence to unleash even greater power! The price, however, was that any damage Salamence sustained would be directly reflected back onto him!
Qi Hao, sitting in the audience, regretted teaching Li Linfeng this technique. It was a backup method, not something used in daily life. Not everyone had the same physique as Qi Hao. Li Linfeng... was, in the end, just an ordinary person!
"Storm! Flame Vortex! Flame Jet!" Li Linfeng didn't care about anything else. This was his first battle to enter the public eye, and even if he lost, he would lose in a spectacular way!
With a flap of its wings, Mega Salamence unleashed a massive tornado that swept towards Magearna, followed by a burst of fire! While only their Storm skill was truly exceptional, it was more than enough for them!
The flames weren't drawn into the tornado by its fiery vortex! The heatwave was fierce! The power was overwhelming! And it continued to grow! Half the battlefield was within its attack range!
"Continuous Stand!" Faced with such a fierce attack, even Yurika dared not let Magia take it head-on.
Magiana left a green doll behind, then curled it into a ball and rolled away, repeating this twice.
Instantly, Magiana, now a ball, rolled away, brushing against the edge of the fiery whirlwind. The two dolls were blasted into pieces, but an energy flowed from the dolls into Magiana's body.
Characters like Soulheart, which are designed to defeat enemies, can be used in all sorts of creative ways. Not only does their special attack increase, but the HP they consumed is also recovered, making it almost like getting something for free!
Moreover, with Magearna's dual defenses, she didn't take much damage even after grazing through the vortex, making her practically a fairy-type turret!
"Flower Cannon!" Bonnie gave the swift command, all of this happening in the blink of an eye! It demands an extreme level of reaction speed from the trainer!
"Beep beep! (Received!)" Magearna looked up immediately, and at that moment, Magearna was directly below Salamence!
He stretched out his hands, and a powerful pink beam shot straight at the Super Salamence!
Super Salamence can dodge now, but Li Linfeng understands that even if he dodges, there will be another wave, and he can't keep dodging forever.
"Double Wings! Ultimate Impact!!" Li Linfeng made up his mind. Dodge? He would meet the attack head-on!
Without the slightest hesitation, Salamence charged forward, transforming into a red blur! He knew! His trainer was with him now!
Like a sharp arrow, the Salamence charged head-on into the pillar of light! Its momentum was unstoppable!
"Ah!" Li Linfeng couldn't help but shout! His whole body was in pain! His whole body was trembling! Blood spilled from his mouth! His eyes became bloodshot! But he chose to grit his teeth and endure it!
boom!!
First came a blast of air! Then came a mushroom-shaped cloud and a deafening roar, startling the audience in the stands. They hadn't expected Li Linfeng to choose to take the hit head-on!
Li Linfeng's legs finally gave way, and he leaned against the edge of the command platform. He had endured the pain so much that he was completely exhausted and could no longer stand up.
However, can this defeat Magearna, which is one level higher than Mega Salamence? No.
As the smoke cleared, Mega Salamence stood on the ground, while Magearna transformed back into its original spherical form.
The difference is that Mega Salamence exerted all its strength just by standing still, while Magearna has several dents on its body, but its condition is much better than Salamence's.
"I choose the move that respects you the most to end the battle!" Li Linfeng's decision to face Flower Cannon head-on was reckless, but it earned Bonnie's respect. "Mageana! Z-Move! Cute Star Flying Crash!"
After a dance, fairy-type energy instantly enveloped the entire arena!
The entire room fell silent, and Li Linfeng earned the respect of everyone present.
"Young Master, that's enough. Quit this state and surrender. You haven't let down the title of Son of Champion." Mu Ancai appeared outside the barrier at some point, right behind Li Linfeng.
"Let down? I never intended to hold onto that title." However, Li Linfeng did not heed Mu Ancai's advice. His goals had long since changed. He used to be proud of being the son of a champion, and he spoke of it with great enthusiasm.
However, it's like an inescapable label, as if he'll always live in his father's shadow! Everything has to be compared to his father.
Until one day, Chen Mu said something to him for the first time ever: "Do you want to live under your father's thumb for the rest of your life?"
He realized what was happening.
"When I inherit the Sky Tower in the future, I will also inherit everything from my father! But inside that tower, there will be nothing that truly belongs to me. I will only be playing the role of my father. But why should I do this?" Li Linfeng asked rhetorically, seemingly addressing no one in particular.
He gripped the Keystone tighter! His connection with Salamence deepened!
"Don't do anything reckless!" Tianshui wanted to go up and stop Li Linfeng's behavior, but Qihao stopped her.
"Just watch." Qi Hao didn't explain further, but his authority as class monitor still made Tian Shui stop. Tian Shui could only watch Li Linfeng on the stage with Qi Hao, feeling nervous.
"That's right! What I'm going to do in the future is what that man couldn't do! I'm going to completely surpass him." Li Linfeng's tone was even a little manic! He used all his strength to support himself.
"Hoo hoo? Kid, are you crazy? He's the champion." A deep voice came from somewhere, seemingly mocking Li Linfeng's arrogance.
"I'm not crazy! I've overcome my past! This is my own strength! My own destiny! My own ideal!! This! Is the real me!" Li Linfeng's tone was firm, so firm that even if the voice appeared out of thin air, he answered without the slightest hesitation!
"Hahaha! Then! Shout my name out loud!!" The mysterious voice laughed wildly!
"Lie! Kong! Sit!!!" Without the slightest hesitation, Li Linfeng shouted, knowing exactly who the voice belonged to!
A phantom image shot into the sky from Li Linfeng! A pure black body! Yellow markings! Golden dragon whiskers drifting beside him! Yes! A glittering light! The Mega Evolution Rayquaza!
Salamence used all its strength! It charged out recklessly! Its connection with Li Linfeng had deepened to the point where it no longer needed command! Meanwhile, the phantom of Rayquaza rushed out, enveloping Salamence within it!
"Draw the dragon! Add the finishing touch! Ah!!!"
"Z-Move!"
The massive energies collided, and alarms sounded throughout the area!
"Extremely high energy level detected! Change protection mode!"
The barrier reversed, enveloping the audience seats, and the previously trapped energy exploded completely! It shot skyward!
