Pokémon: Who told him to come out of Pallet Town!

Chapter 679 "Normal" Pokémon

Chapter 679 "Normal" Pokémon

In the field, Dakdo also noticed the glaring school uniform.

In that instant, he seemed to understand something.

As expected, Ash was not capable of capturing or commanding these legendary Pokémon.

These were tools that Natsume provided to this kid to crush and humiliate him.

A surge of humiliated anger mixed with a deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

"Hmm? Why are you suddenly so angry?"

Natsume's focus was on a few things: the two people inside the arena, Akari outside the arena, the trio frantically selling badges to fleece fans, and the middle-parted hair who sneaked out early in the morning for who knows what.

Dakdo's sudden outburst of anger made Natsume glance at him slightly, but he didn't take it to heart.

The publicity effect has been largely achieved. Now we just need to wait for the match to end and see what that guy, Chi Ri, does.

Inside the venue.

Latios in the air was still trying to use his speed advantage to disrupt them.

"Wait a minute, Groudon seems to be a Ground-type Pokémon, the kind that can't fly!"

"Why did Ash Ketchum release it?"

The blind spot was quickly spotted by people in the audience.

These remarks served as a reminder to Dakdo, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, this guy can't fly, which gives me a natural advantage!"

"Roar?"

Groudon overheard the humans' discussion.

Groudon is very unhappy.

To prove itself, it waved to Ash.

"what?"

Xiao Zhi was stunned, and then realized that the other party wanted him to take out the Taijing Pearl.

next second.

"Tai Crystallization - Flight!"

A burst of dazzling crystalline energy surged forth, enveloping Groudon like a giant cocoon, and finally coalescing into a magnificent and enormous crystalline flying balloon above its head.

Under the gaze of countless stunned eyes, the Earth God, who was known as "incapable of flying," defied common sense and the understanding of the world. His enormous body suddenly lifted off the ground and hovered steadily in mid-air.

"Cliff Sword!" Ash shouted after glancing at his Pokédex.

Groudon, hovering in the air, wielded its giant rock sword, which was imbued with the power of the vast earth and the energy of the Flying type.

With an overwhelming momentum, it charged toward Latios, who was as agile as a flying bird.

With a single, swift strike, the speed exceeded Latios's reaction limits, precisely and ruthlessly slashing him down from the sky!

"How could this happen?!"

Dacto let out a desperate roar from his throat, defiantly sending out Latias.

However, Groudon's aerial attacks were so rhythmic and relentless that they were almost breathtaking, with the second strike following almost immediately.

"Sword of the Cliff!" Ash shouted.

"Can't you use a different move?" Dakdo cursed.

The enormous cliff-like sword tore through the sky, carrying unparalleled power, and cleaved Latias, who had just appeared and hadn't even had a chance to unleash his power, sending him crashing heavily to the sidelines.

"Latios and Latias are unable to fight!"

Dakdo collapsed completely, his back slumped heavily against the railing of the athletes' bench, his face ashen and his eyes vacant.

His worldview, everything he was proud of, collapsed completely at this moment.

"Why can this Groudon fly?"

"Too crystallized, what is too crystallized?"

"Huh, could it be that 'too crystallized' thing that Ash always wears, the one he was talking about?"

"I know, our Hoenn region champion, Steven, is too crystallizing!"

The discussion in the audience quickly shifted from why Groudon could fly to what Crystallization was.

Darko leaned against the railing, breathing heavily, his fingers trembling so much he could barely hold the Poké Ball.

In utter despair and humiliation, clinging to the last glimmer of hope, he sent out the only Pokémon in his team with healing abilities—Creselia.

The beautiful and holy Dream God radiated a peaceful aura, forming a stark contrast to the menacing Groudon opposite, who had just completed a double kill.

Ash looked at Cresselia, which was trying to emit soothing light waves, and touched his nose. He seemed to think that using Groudon to deal with it again would be a bit "unfair" and lacked challenge.

"Come back, Groudon, you've worked hard!"

He took back Groudon.

This action tragically rekindled a tiny spark of hope in Darkdoll's despairing heart. Was the opponent going to send out a relatively "normal" Pokémon?

However, under the complex gazes of Darko and all the spectators, Ash took out the last Ultra Ball from his waist, the one that Natsume had given him that morning.

"Three-horned mole, I'm counting on you for the last one!"

A flash of light, and the three little ground squirrels appeared on the field, looking adorable. Their three little heads turned left and right in unison, curiously looking around, appearing completely harmless.

Compared to the previous two legendary Pokémon, whose mere existence exuded immense pressure, it seemed so...

Ordinary, even somewhat out of place.

"Pfft... Hoo..."

'

Darko was taken aback when he saw this last Pokémon.

Immediately, an extreme anger, feeling utterly mocked and his dignity trampled on, surged into his heart, almost making him laugh out loud, and his breathing became rapid and irregular.

"Three...three gophers?! Are you...are you insulting me?!"

A chorus of boos and puzzled whispers rose from the audience, with many feeling that Ash's final choice was too frivolous and underestimating his opponent.

"That's strange, Ash sent out three Dugtrios."

"I've never seen him use it before."

"Does winning three games in a row mean you can't keep up and get cocky?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Ash ignored all the doubts and commotion. His gaze remained focused as he directly issued the command: "Dugnum, use Earth Shock!"

The next moment, something happened that everyone present would never forget, something that would completely overturn their understanding of Pokémon.

The three little heads of the three mole rats seemed to possess independent will and judgment at this moment, yet they instantly achieved a perfect and flawless coordination that transcended common sense.

The left side of its head suddenly raised its front paw and slammed it hard into the ground—BOOM!

The earth split open with a huge, bottomless chasm that exuded a terrifying aura!

The middle head almost simultaneously tilted upwards, aimed at the sky, and cracked! The second fissure in the ground actually shot out from an extremely tricky angle from above, as if it were going to tear space apart.

The right side of the head instantly burrowed into the ground and disappeared—then, directly beneath the beautiful goddess of dreams, Cresselia, the third fissure in the earth suddenly and violently exploded, sending earth and rocks flying!

Triple earthquakes! Coming from three completely different directions!

All evasive options were blocked, leaving no way to avoid it.

"Ugh—!"

Cresselia didn't even have time to unleash the gentle light of her healing power before she was blasted deep into the earth by a triple attack that seemed to come from the earth itself, filled with anger and judgment, instantly losing her ability to fight.

"Creselia is unable to battle! Darkor, please send out your next Pokémon!"

The referee used all his strength, his voice hoarse but incredibly clear, to announce the final result.

The noisy venue fell into a deathly silence at that moment.

Everyone was frozen in place, staring blankly at the gopher that had patted its paws and stood there in a daze.

With a "thud," Dakdo collapsed to his knees, his eyes completely lifeless, staring blankly ahead.

He's already lost; the remaining two Pokémon... his Magikarp.
