Chapter 377: An epic 1v6 victory achieved!
【666 Braised ground squid meat is here too, isn't that terrifying?!~】
[V's Flame damage is still high; it instantly killed Super Dragon Head Excadrill...]
[After all, there was an earthquake preceding the attack, so it's normal for the two attacks, which received the same attribute bonus from Star Crystallization, to deal higher damage, right?]
[Using a high-speed spin to catch a knotted grass moth is quite imaginative; it just goes to show how many tricks the prison has up its sleeve!]
[Oh no, I've already used both Crystallization and Super Evolution, I feel like my chances of taking on six opponents at once are slim!]
[Blueberry: Having lost all strength and means...]
It's not what most viewers imagined.
At this moment, looking at the Excadrill that had broken free from its Mega Evolution state on the battlefield, Blueberry felt not despair, but rather a sense of relief.
There's nothing I can do, I'm truly out of options...
From the very beginning, utilize the [Mischievous Heart] Dark Raven to dispel buffs and apply Restoration Lock.
The Rogue Crocodile unleashes a berserk onslaught after triggering the [Angry Acupoint].
Then there's the super-dragon gopher's desperate attack.
He practically emptied his tactical arsenal, unleashing everything he had on the battlefield without reservation.
As for the initial strategy of "consuming the energy of the Magic Masked Cat"...
Seeing that his opponent showed no signs of fatigue after playing four consecutive matches, Yueju couldn't help but start to doubt himself.
Can a battle of six Pokémon really exhaust this monstrous, magical masked cat?
The sense of powerlessness brought on by this thought gave him a dull headache.
But his dignity as a superstar and his professional ethics allowed him to quickly suppress these emotions.
There is no turning back now that things have come to this.
Only by using up our last strength can we fight to the very end.
After retrieving the Excadrill, which had lost its ability to battle, from its Poké Ball, Cranberry, without any hesitation, threw out its fifth Poké Ball, representing its last hope and stubbornness.
A flash of white light appeared, and a lithe, wildly powerful elf appeared on the shattered ground.
It resembles a hellhound, with dark gray skin, a pair of ferocious white bone horns curving backward on its head, a tail like a demon's arrow, and sparks faintly flying from its mouth.
It is Houndoom, a Pokémon with both Dark and Fire attributes!
Frankly speaking, this Black Growlithe's tactical role in the Blueberry team is not fundamentally different from the previous two main attackers, Krookodile and Excadrill; they are all typical examples of being strong in offense but weak in defense.
As for going toe-to-toe with Xia Chi, whether looking at Xia Chi's previous match videos or the few fierce battles that just ended, Yueju knew very well that the chances of winning were slim.
However, he had no better choice.
He could only pin his hopes on Houndoom, who was only considered a veteran in his team.
and many more!
If it's that move...
When the opponent has gone through four major battles and is not at their peak mentally and physically, perhaps they can still seize that fleeting, one-of-a-kind opportunity!
In an instant, she made up her mind, and Yueju's eyes became sharp and resolute again.
Without any preamble, he immediately unleashed his final charge: "Houndoom, Flame Charge!"
As soon as the command was given, Houndoom let out a deep roar as if it came from the depths of purgatory, and stomped its limbs on the ground.
The next moment, scorching and explosive flame energy surged out of its body like a volcanic eruption, instantly enveloping its entire body and transforming it into a humanoid, moving ball of blazing white flame!
With an indomitable and fierce momentum, as if it wanted to burn everything in its path, Houndoom charged towards the direction of Meowth.
The air was distorted by the intense heat, and wherever it passed, even broken rocks were melted and left with reddish marks!
Faced with this desperate charge, Xia Chi remained calm and unmoved.
"The water flows continuously!"
The magical masked cat's feet were slightly apart, and its body was surrounded by azure water energy surging like the tide.
The pure water instantly covered her arms, transforming into two sharp-edged water blades. Instead of retreating, she launched a counterattack against the blazing white flames.
laugh-
Fire and water, two completely opposite extreme energies, collided fiercely on this ravaged rocky terrain.
A huge cloud of white steam exploded and spread out, instantly engulfing most of the area.
The principle of elemental advantage is fully demonstrated here.
Although Houndoom is a true Champion-level powerhouse, its strength seems somewhat inadequate in the face of Meowth, which is currently in its prime and enhanced by its equipment and Bond ability.
The surging water forcefully overwhelmed the exploding flames.
With just one exchange, Houndoom let out a painful groan as a large portion of its flames were extinguished, and its stamina plummeted instantly!
There was no way around it; this was almost an inevitable outcome.
It neither enjoys the precious resource boost of Mega Evolution, nor does it have the physical defense and durability of the previous Mega Excadrill. Naturally, it is difficult to withstand the double-strike [Water Stream Combo].
However, it seemed that Blueberry had not seen that Houndoom had already suffered a serious injury, and instead, a resolute light flashed in its eyes.
He shouted again, "Continue the attack!"
Despite the pain in his body, Hei Luqiang used his long but powerful limbs to push off the ground again and pounced on the Magical Masked Cat.
Xia Chi raised an eyebrow slightly.
Is this suicidal charge a sign that they've been driven to the brink of collapse and no longer want to fight?
No, given the mental fortitude of the blueberry, it's highly unlikely.
Therefore, this unusual act of disregarding costs must conceal a deeper intention, perhaps a wicked idea capable of turning the tide of the battle...
A vague guess instantly surfaced in Xia Chi's mind.
But instead of alerting the enemy, he commanded, "Meow, unleash a continuous water attack!"
The magical masked cat's offensive has begun again.
The second [Water Stream Strike] swept towards Houndoom, which had just regained its footing, with even more surging water energy.
This attack was even more terrifying than the first one.
Where the water flows, it even cuts deep ravines into the ground!
Everyone could see that, given Houndoom's current condition, it was absolutely unable to withstand a second blow.
It will be instantly killed by this move.
And it was at this critical moment that determined life and death.
A glint flashed in Yueju's eyes as he shouted out his final command, which he had kept hidden until now and was willing to risk everything for.
"Now, we're in the same boat!"
really!
Xia Chi's mind instantly cleared; they were indeed [of the same fate]!
His previous speculations mainly hovered between "shared fate" and "a narrow escape from a desperate situation."
But he quickly ruled out the latter – Magic Masked Cat could switch to Ghost type using [Change of Form] and become immune to the Fighting type move [Take It Away].
More importantly, Meowha's current situation cannot be resolved by a single [Desperate Struggle] move.
So, there's only one answer left: a Ghost-type move that's simple and brutal, and if successful, can drag Magic Masked Meow down with it – Fate/Destiny Bond!
This move can be described as a divine skill for turning the tide against all odds.
Its effect is incredibly powerful. If the user is knocked down within a very short time after the move takes effect, the opponent who caused the user's fall will also be rendered unable to fight!
Blueberry's intentions were crystal clear: he wanted to use Houndoom's last remaining body as a means to unleash [Fate Link].
The sacrifice, at the cost of an elf, forcibly replaced the still-healthy Magic Masked Cat, thus completely ending the "one-against-six" miracle!
But since Xia Chi had already anticipated this possibility through his opponent's unusual behavior, how could he possibly step into this deadly trap unprepared?
Almost at the same time as Lanju shouted the word "shared fate", or even earlier.
Having already conveyed his tactical intentions through waveguide power and telepathy, Xia Chi issued the crucial command: "Provoke!"
This was his real backup plan when he risked his life to charge at Houndoom!
The magical masked cat on the field understood perfectly.
The third stage of Houndoom's [Water Strike] attack, which was about to unleash and finish off Houndoom, was stopped at the last moment by her amazing control!
The surging water energy suddenly dissipated just inches away from Houndoom!
Almost simultaneously, a wave of malicious energy condensed at the tip of the Magic Masked Meow's claw. With a flick of her wrist, it shot out like a poison dart, accurately hitting Houndoom, which was channeling [Fate/Destiny] energy!
Zi—
When the [Provocation] energy hit, the eerie, dark purple energy patterns that had just appeared around Houndoom, representing the bond of life, suddenly froze.
This hastily issued [provocation] could not stop the [shared fate] curse that had already been activated.
however.
The [Same Fate] curse takes effect within an extremely short time window.
The user of the move must be defeated within this window for the curse to successfully affect the opponent.
Now, the Magic Masked Cat has stopped using [Water Flow Combo] and failed to defeat Houndoom during the curse's effective window.
More importantly, the [Taunt] move that followed was successfully applied to Houndoom.
For the next period of time, it will be unable to use any transformation moves, including trying to use [Destiny Bond] again!
Xia Chi's response was a textbook example of perfect prediction and risk avoidance.
This strategy kills two birds with one stone: it avoids the deadly trap before it and eliminates the possibility of the opponent repeating the same trick.
The lingonberry's expression changed instantly.
No, you predicted that too?
Xia Chi, are you even human?!
The last hope of a comeback was thus completely dashed.
Only a blank expression remained on Yueju's face.
With his last shred of reluctance, he could only symbolically issue a meaningless command: "Houndoom, a chance for survival!"
Xia Chi, however, did not want to take any risks at all.
When you have an absolute advantage, being steady and cautious is the smoothest path to victory.
"Meow, Shadow Claw!"
On the tip of the magical masked cat's paw, a deep, dark purple light, seemingly capable of absorbing light, instantly condensed.
Her type also changed to Ghost, which not only allowed Shadow Claw to enjoy its STAB boost, but also perfectly avoided Houndoom's desperate attempt to survive.
Swah—
A claw-like aura, imbued with eerie Ghost-type power, coldly slashed across Houndoom's body.
"Waaah..."
Houndoom let out a weak and desperate wail, and the light in its eyes quickly dimmed.
His limbs immediately went limp, and he fell heavily onto the charred and broken ground, completely losing his ability to fight.
[Holy crap, even someone with the same fate could dodge that? What terrifying reaction speed!]
[It seems like Prison Water anticipated this, because in the replay, Meowha's water attacks weren't as smooth as before.]
[It's terrifying that he predicted it. Even with my god-like perspective, I couldn't have guessed this "shared fate" combination. How could Xia Chi predict it so accurately...]
[It probably saw Houndoom's unusually reckless charge, but being able to predict it is indeed terrifying!]
Only one left, is a miracle really about to happen?
It looks pretty much a done deal!
[Wuhu! We are about to witness the birth of history!]
As expected, I still couldn't do it...
Cranberry gazed at the Houndoom that had lost its ability to battle on the field, gently shook her head, and silently returned it to its Poké Ball.
Although it was foreseen when Houndoom was sent out, when the last glimmer of hope for a comeback was completely extinguished, and he watched helplessly as his fate became a footnote to a legend.
An indescribable bitterness still lingered in his heart.
That was the pride of an Elite Four trainer, and the most genuine reaction after being absolutely overwhelmed by strength.
But what can we do?
The battlefield is always the fairest place.
If you are not as skilled as others, you can only accept the bitter taste of defeat; this is the most basic understanding.
"Since that's the case..."
His gaze fell on the last Poké Ball in his hand, the one that had accompanied him on his journey.
The familiar touch from my fingertips seemed to carry the memories and warmth of countless past battles.
He took a deep breath, expelling all his distracting thoughts, resentment, regret, and pressure from his body.
His gaze returned to calm and focus.
Even though the outcome is already decided, this final battle must not end hastily.
He wanted to fight to the very end with his original comrades, with dignity!
The lingonberry arm swung out suddenly, the movement fluid and powerful, carrying a sense of relief and resolve after shedding all burdens.
"Then let's have the final battle, you bandana thug!"
A flash of white light appeared, and an elf, shaped like a lizard with a distinctive orange mohawk and an arrogant look in its eyes, stood tall and proud on the ravaged battlefield.
He's a bandana-wearing thug with both fighting and evil attributes!
"Gaoh—!"
As if sensing the complex yet resolute emotions in the trainer's heart, the bandana-wearing thug let out a hoarse yet loud hiss as soon as it appeared, its sharp eyes instantly locking onto the Magic Masked Meowth opposite it.
He clearly understood that the elf in front of him had defeated five of its companions in a row, and its strength was terrifying.
But so what?
It will never back down!
Xia Chi looked at the two opponents who were still burning with fighting spirit in the face of adversity, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
He could feel the purity of Yueju after letting go of victory and defeat, and he could also feel the unwavering determination of the bandana thug.
"Meow."
Xia Chi looked at the emerald green figure in the arena, always ready for battle.
Go forth, go and write your own legend!
"Meow—ha!"
The magical masked cat responded with a long, clear meow.
His crimson eyes seemed to ignite the fatigue left by the previous fierce battle, transforming it into an incomparably fervent excitement.
As if telepathically connected, the two elves unleashed their full power the instant their eyes met, transforming into two streaks of light, each different in color yet equally resolute, and charged fiercely towards each other.
There were no complex tactical maneuvers, no cautious roundabout probing.
This final battle returned to the most primal and pure form of combat: power clashing with power, will against will!
The muffled thuds of fists and claws striking each other echoed rapidly in the empty arena like a dense drumbeat.
The turbaned thug poured all his strength into this final, fierce attack.
Flying knee kick, double-edged headbutt, close combat...
It unleashed all the close-combat techniques it had mastered without reservation.
However, the movements of the Magic Masked Cat appeared much more agile.
Playing, breaking tiles, ever-changing patterns...
She can switch between attributes at will, and every move she makes is both deadly efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
This is a clash of wills and beliefs.
at last.
After another fierce exchange, the turbaned thug's movements faltered for a moment.
The continuous high-intensity bursts finally depleted its already enormous stamina.
Magic Mask Cat keenly seized this fleeting opportunity.
Without the slightest hesitation, the fairy energy within her surged and condensed at an unprecedented speed.
Her figure seemed to blend into the shadows, and in the next instant, she appeared beside the bandana thug!
That playful attack, imbued with all her strength, carried a dazzling yet extremely dangerous brilliance, striking the hooded thug's neck with pinpoint accuracy!
"Gah...!"
The bandana-wearing thug's momentum came to an abrupt halt, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
His body swayed, and finally, with a hint of resentment, he fell forward to the ground, kicking up some dust.
The whole world seemed to fall silent at that moment.
Immediately, the referee waved his flag firmly.
Magical Masked Cat remained where the bandana thug had fallen, leaning slightly forward, its chest heaving violently.
After fighting six consecutive battles and defeating six powerful opponents, even with the ability to absorb life force infinitely, his condition was already close to its limit.
But when she looked up at the audience seats that were erupting in deafening cheers, her crimson eyes shone with an incomparably brilliant light.
A miracle, at this moment, was created by her own hands!
6: 0!
An epic 1v6 victory achieved!
