Pokémon cross over into the real world

Chapter 525: The Battle of the God of War (3)

Seeing Chino Chinchilla being chased and beaten by the Saltstone Giant, all the teammates in the Deep Blue Gym broke into a cold sweat for Wang Qiyi. You know, Wang Qiyi had never met an opponent before, and was basically defeated by him in one move. This time, he finally met a real opponent.

However, Kino Chinchilla immediately created four substitutes, which stopped the Salt Stone Giant. Just when everyone thought it could not find the opponent's real body and had no idea what to do, the Salt Stone Giant raised its hands like cannons and sprayed white powder in all directions.

Rock-type exclusive skill—Salting. The Salt Stone Giant stores hydrochloric acid, a highly corrosive substance, within its body. This skill sprays the acid, initially causing minimal damage to the victim. However, over time, the body will rapidly corrode, with the damage accumulating layer by layer, eventually dissolving the muscles and causing irreparable damage.

Therefore, if you're hit by Saltrock's Salting skill, you either have to be tough like Snorlax, with thick skin and flesh that's not susceptible to corrosion, or have a recovery skill like Self-Regeneration. Otherwise, it's best to immediately neutralize the hydrochloric acid with alkaline liquid. This is even more potent than the poison of a Poison-type Pokémon.

The five Chino Chinchillas scurried to dodge the Salt Stone Giant's hydrochloric acid spray, but it was an area attack, and no matter how fast they moved, they would still be caught. Three of their clones were instantly corroded and melted into white smoke. Their true form was also slightly sprayed, and the hydrochloric acid sizzled as it corroded their fur.

Seeing its hydrochloric acid had already reached its opponent, the Salt Stone Giant only needed to stall for time until its opponent gave up the fight. Full-scale defense was its forte, so it retracted its arm and began to unleash three iron walls.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu yelled, cheering Jerry up. Jerry glanced at his companions, thinking that if he lost, he'd be the first Pokémon on Wang Qiyi's team to be eliminated, and the other Pokémon would laugh at him to death. This was unbearable. His eyes fixed, "I'll give you a few walls of steel, but I'll unleash my legendary power!"

Jerry flew up, a burst of white light erupting from his body. A milky white slate emerged behind him. Arceus's Normal-type slate radiated powerful Normal-type energy, further strengthening Jerry's Tail Sweep combo. Countless gigantic white tails appeared behind Jerry, swaying behind him like a white Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

The giant salt and stone spirit was shocked at this sight, and Dong Qingping was even more stunned. What people didn't notice was that Wang Qiyi was at the podium, performing a very childish radio gymnastics routine—a set of prayers. He was creating an emotional resonance with Jerry through the waveguide, and then using the prayers to coordinate with Jerry's explosive power.

Z-Moves are special moves from the Aurora region of the game. Using Z-Crystals, they create a bond between the Pokémon and the Trainer, empowering the Pokémon's abilities with the Trainer's prayer gesture. The instant the move is launched, the Pokémon's energy is rapidly depleted, unleashing a terrifying burst of power, capable of damaging an opponent beyond a certain realm.

Ever since the Mega Evolution announcement, Wang Qiyi has been immersed in researching Z-Moves and Titanium Crystallization. He's tasked Mien in Impression Country with collecting Titanium Crystallite, but he's been unable to find any Z-Pure Crystals. He thought they were still unresolved, but recently, Jerry discovered the Arceus Slate, which has a similar effect to Z-Pure Crystal, significantly enhancing the power of Pokémon's abilities.

He tried to connect with Jerry through his waveguide, then recalled the prayer gesture shown in the cartoon, a typical Z-move prayer gesture. He had tried several times, but hadn't been able to succeed. But just now, Jerry's determination to go all out suddenly infected Wang Qiyi, the result of an emotional connection.

At that moment, Wang Qiyi's mind suddenly lit up, and a complete set of general prayer movements emerged in his mind. He understood that the previous movements had a little flaw, but this time it would definitely work!

When the prayer action was completed, Jerry's sweeping combo was unleashed and he became the Thousand-Armed Guanyin in front of him. "Boom boom boom" a thousand giant tails smashed down one after another. Even the salt and stone giant with three sections of iron walls could not withstand such a powerful attack, and even the venue was beaten into a deep pit.

"What kind of move is this!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could this be a skill performed by a mouse?"

"This is too unscientific!"

No one believed that Chino Chinchilla, whose racial value was only 500, could use such a powerful skill. It was simply terrifying. Even legendary elves did not dare to take on the attack of this skill.

Chairman Jiang and Dong Tiancheng in the Imperial Capital Alliance Building exchanged glances, each revealing surprise in the other's eyes. "Old Dong, can your Steelix withstand this attack?"

Dong Tiancheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I haven't super evolved, I'm afraid I can't withstand it. If I super evolved, maybe I can take this move."

"You should know that your Steelix is a mid-level legendary spirit, and it specializes in defense. It can withstand even two hits from the Guardian."

"I can conclude that this rat has reached the legendary level. The skill it just used seems to have used some secret method of enhancement, and the power it exerted is enough to hurt the guardian god." Dong Tiancheng gave a very high evaluation.

"Secret method of strengthening? Could it be that Wang Qiyi has developed some new skill?"

"It should be."

At the Hangzhou Deep Blue Gym, the Salt Stone Giant was instantly killed by Chino Chinchilla's Thousand-Handed Guanyin move. Dong Qingping's forehead was also covered in cold sweat, because just as the smoke and dust were flying on the field, one of Jerry's clones rushed to his side and blew up his energy shield.

The first one-on-one match was over, and he had no chance to send out a substitute Pokémon. Jerry's ambush on the opposing trainer, Wang Qiyi, was unexpected. He certainly hoped that the Pokémons could fight more. Harvesting heads was the fun, not stealing crystals.

But Jerry didn't think so, because the full-strength attack he just launched had actually exhausted his physical strength. If the opponent could send out a substitute Pokémon, he would definitely be knocked out. He didn't want to be the first Pokémon to be knocked out, so he took the opportunity to kill the trainer in seconds and end the battle.

"I didn't expect the Z-Move to be used at this time. Only high-pressure combat can achieve a breakthrough." Wang Qiyi sighed, "It seems that Wukong also has a stone tablet. I wonder if Wukong can use the Z-Move."

"Pikachu!" The Pikachu on Wang Qiyi's shoulder patted his head and pointed at himself.

Wang Qiyi was surprised: "You were the one who gave me the epiphany just now?"

Pikachu nodded. It turned out Pikachu had telepathically taught him the correct prayer form, and he'd thought it was a sudden flash of inspiration. That's right, Ash had mastered all the Z-Moves back then, so it was only natural that Pikachu would know them too. So why bother studying so hard? Why not just let Pikachu teach him?

"Pika! Pika!" Pikachu heard Wang Qiyi's words and telepathically said, "That happened a thousand years ago. My memory of the prayer move has long been fuzzy, and I only vaguely remember it. Only if you study the move can I gradually remember it. I just had a flash of inspiration and passed it on to you. I still need you to help me remember Goku's Z-Move prayer move. I'll tell you when I remember it."

The score displayed on the big screen at the arena was 1-0, giving Deep Blue Gym a temporary lead. The second two-on-two match was about to begin. Wang Qiyi noticed that Dong Qingping, on the other side, hadn't planned to leave the field, but had reactivated the energy shield on the command platform, indicating that he was planning a second match.

Wang Qiyi exchanged a smile and pulled out two Poké Balls. The audience gasped in surprise, and the host excitedly exclaimed, "Neither Wang Qiyi nor Dong Qingping left the field. Are they planning to fight it out? This is the first time two Trainers have faced off in the Gym League semifinals. Furthermore, the second two-on-two match was again a one-on-one duel between the two, with none of their teammates on the field."

Wang Qiyi sent out the red Gyarados and the green Bloodwing Dragonite.
