Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Chapter 382 Aisiluo vs Xiaojin (4)

……

As Pidgeot, surrounded by dark purple tornadoes, swooped down from the sky and collided with the huge body of the silver beast on the ground, Bangilas let out a weak but unwilling roar. His heavy body made a harsh squeak, and then fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. His dark silver armor, which he was so proud of, was now covered with criss-crossing deep scratches.

Bangilas was breathing heavily, and every breath seemed so difficult. Finally, the giant beast closed its eyes unwillingly and completely lost its ability to fight.

Even though Bangilas's defense was unrivaled in the world, he was still exhausted and fell down under the suppression of Pidgeot's high-frequency and high-speed attacks.

"Come back, Bangilas, you've done well enough." Aislo's voice was solemn as he quickly took back his companions. He looked up at the Pidgeot in the sky, which was hovering high in the sky, its wings slightly fluttering, and its sharp eyes overlooking the earth.

Pidgeot's condition was not at its best. Banguilas's final sharp stone attack and the continuous sandstorm attacks were not in vain. There was an obvious scar on the right side of his chest, although it did not seem to have any effect on Pidgeot's flight.

"It should be the strong chest muscle feature... It's your turn, Rogue Crocodile!" Eslo threw the Poké Ball on his waist again without any hesitation.

"Crack!"

A red light flashed, and the ferocious red crocodile fell to the ground with a bang. His thick tail slammed the ground heavily, making a dull loud noise. At this moment, facing an opponent with a stronger aura than his own in the sky, the rogue crocodile's eyes not only did not reveal fear, but the fighting spirit burning in his eyes became more vigorous, and his momentum began to rise.

“What…” Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows. He was sure that he was not mistaken and the other party’s overconfidence was triggered, but why?

Without any further hesitation or probing, Xiao Jin waved his arm and said decisively, "Pidgeot, Storm!"

First, suppress the entire audience with absolute strength. This is Xiao Jin’s current strategy.

"Wow—!"

The battle broke out instantly. The ferocious face of the rogue crocodile did not affect Pidgeot. He suddenly folded his wings, and a brilliant light burst out around his body. Then his wings spread wide, and the wind whistled, pressing towards the ground with the sound of wind tearing the air.

"Rogue crocodile, dig a hole!" Aislo reacted quickly.

The rogue crocodile's claws dug frantically, and its huge body sank into the ground like a loach in an instant, leaving a huge hole. The strong wind swept the sand and dust and slammed into the ground fiercely. The wind and sand suddenly rose, and the shock wave blew away the surrounding rubble, and the rock pillars left over from the previous battle also shattered directly.

"Don't let him run away, cover the entrance of the cave and under our body with air blades!" Xiao Jin immediately changed his tactics.

Pidgeot flapped his wings, and countless sharp air blades that were as condensed as solid matter poured down, covering the cave where the rogue crocodile disappeared and a large area around it. The sharp air blades cut the ground, making a harsh sound, and the earth collapsed, stirring up dust all over the sky.

However, this is the moment Aislo was waiting for, "Rogue Crocodile, counterattack with the sharp stone attack!"

"Roar!"

To Xiao Jin's surprise, the rogue crocodile suddenly broke out from the side and rear more than ten meters away from the original cave entrance. The moment he drilled out of the ground, he stepped on the ground with his right foot, and countless huge sharp stone pillars broke through the sand and dust accompanied by the tremor of the earth, and with a whistling sound that tore through the air, they quickly stabbed towards Pidgeot, who was in a relatively low position because he had just released the air blade.

"Pidgeot, move quickly to avoid it!" Xiao Jin ordered immediately.

Pidgeot's body left a trail of afterimages in the air as he deftly moved through the gaps in the sharp stone attacks, narrowly avoiding all the stone pillars.

"Now! Rogue Crocodile, earthquake!" Aislo seized the moment when Pidgeot briefly hovered to adjust his posture after dodging and spoke quickly.

The rogue crocodile raised its thick tail high, condensing terrifying ochre energy, and smashed it hard into the ground with the power to crack the earth.

Rumble——!

The violent earthquake waves swept across like a raging wave. This time, Eslo's goal was not to attack, but to raise sand. The horrifying shock wave caused by the earthquake instantly swept up a large amount of dust and gravel created by the previous battle and the air blade cutting the ground just now, as well as the sand and gravel carried by the sandstorm that had not yet stopped.

In an instant, the entire center of the battlefield was completely shrouded in an extremely thick sandstorm. The dust blocked out the sky and visibility dropped sharply.

"What?!" Xiao Jin's face changed. The current environment was undoubtedly favorable to Aislo, and because the flying sand in the air did not belong to the category of sandstorms, unless he used begging for rain, the sand would not fall even if the weather changed.

But at this moment, the concentration and range of the sand and dust are enough to seriously interfere with Pidgeot's vision and perception, while the Rogue Crocodile, which has ground attributes and can adapt to the sandstorm environment, can thrive in it.

"Pidot, take off! Use the storm to blow away the dust!" Xiao Jin responded immediately.

However, Aislo's order was faster, "Rogue Crocodile, don't let him leave the sandstorm range! Quicksand Hell!"

In the thick sand and dust, the figure of Rogue Crocodile moved like a ghost. He looked up to the sky and let out an angry roar. A vortex of quicksand with a powerful suction force formed instantly. The sand and dust in the sky began to spin, forming an extremely huge sandstorm tornado that trapped Pidgeot in it, trying to drag him down and bury him in the ground.

Pidgeot felt the suction from below and flapped his wings vigorously, but the violent quicksand was like countless hands grabbing his lower limbs. Although he was not dragged down immediately due to the powerful force, his movement to get into the air was severely delayed.

The knife-like gravel cut into Pidgeot's body. The pain stimulated his wings to flutter, and the dust around him was obviously shaken away a lot.

"Rogue crocodile, sharp stone attack!" Eslo's voice continued to sound. He was not going to let his elf get too close to the opponent. After all, the destructive power of the opponent's attack was too terrifying. Even with Bangilas's defense, it would be greatly affected, not to mention the rogue crocodile.

In the thick dust, the rogue crocodile flapped its tail, and several stone pillars rose from the ground and attacked the Pidgeot in the air.

"You still won't come closer..." Xiao Jin's eyes revealed a trace of regret at this time, "Pidot, Storm!"

"Wow—"

The sharp eagle cry resounded through the sky, and Pidgeot flapped its wings vigorously. A violent storm roared out, crushing the incoming sharp stone attacks along with some sand and dust, and the gravel fell like raindrops.

However, the dust had not yet dispersed, and the gaps in the dust that were blown away were almost instantly filled by the rolling sandstorm tornadoes around. Pidgeot's vision was once again swallowed up by the dimness, and only a chaotic dimness remained between the sky and the earth. Even the sunlight was completely blocked out. If it were not for the pull of gravity, she would probably have difficulty distinguishing up from down at this moment.

"Not good..." Xiao Jin frowned. His and Pidgeot's vision and perception were severely limited. They could only rely on their combat experience to pull and judge. On the other hand, Eslo's Pokémon were ground-type and would not be harmed by the sandstorm. The trainer was a Wave Messenger, so there would be no vision problem.

If Pidgeot were allowed to force his way through the sandstorm, his back would be exposed to the enemies on the ground. Xiao Jin was now caught in a dilemma.

"Rogue crocodile, rock collapse!" Aislo's voice sounded particularly calm in the dust, and when it fell into Xiaojin's ears, his face darkened. He already knew the other party's intention.

"Crack!"

A dull roar of the rogue crocodile was heard from the depths of the dust storm, and then countless huge rocks appeared out of thin air from different directions of the sandstorm and smashed towards the Pidgeot trapped in the center. The attacks came from all directions without any pattern to follow.

"Pidot, Steel Wing!" Xiao Jin clenched his fists, and the broken rocks merged into the sand and dust, turning into another attack on Pidgeot. However, if nothing was done, a few more attacks would most likely cause Pidgeot to fall to the ground, and by then it would be really difficult for him to turn over.

"Wow—!"

Pidgeot turned into a blurry platinum-colored light in the sand and dust, and moved madly with its terrifying speed and fighting instincts. Its wings covered with a metallic luster accurately chopped the incoming rocks. The sound of shattering was endless, and the rocks shattered one after another in front of the steel wings.

However, the sand and dust seriously interfered with Pidgeot's vision. Pidgeot's dodging and attacking were completely dependent on intuition and experience. Moreover, the rockfall was not completely blocked, so his energy consumption was huge. What was more fatal was that every time he flapped his wings and chopped, he inevitably stirred up more sand and dust, making the environment around Pidgeot even worse.

"Are we going to have a protracted battle... Pidgeot, Yusu!" Xiao Jin frowned. He didn't think that the rogue crocodile had fought for such a long time without any loss of physical strength.

"Now is the time, Rogue Crocodile, use all your strength to use Quicksand Hell and Rock Blockade!" Eslo saw the gap when Pidgeot was using Feather Roost to recover his own state.

The suction force of the violent quicksand vortex below suddenly doubled, and countless grains of sand wrapped around Pidgeot's claws and tail feathers like living things, dragging it downwards madly, with its feathers flying. Pidgeot quickly flapped his wings to stabilize his body.

"Roar--!!!"

Several huge spiral rock cones rose from the ground, and with a piercing scream, they ignored the obstruction of sand and dust and stabbed towards Pidgeot accurately from bottom to top.

The rock pillars turned into a net, pressing down on Pidgeot from the sky.

"Competition!!!"

"Screech--!!!" Pidgeot also let out a scream of shock and anger. At the critical moment, he gave up struggling and poured all his strength into his wings. He no longer tried to get into the air, but spun his body violently, and his wings chopped down at the rogue crocodile below like a giant axe.

boom! ! !

A horrific collision broke out in the center of the sandstorm. The stalemate lasted only a moment, and the loud noise of cracking rocks and piercing sounds rang out at the same time.

The spiral rock cone began to break apart piece by piece from the tip, and the broken rocks shot out in all directions like a cannonball, but the terrifying impact force contained in the rock cone was also firmly transmitted to Pidgeot.

Despite this, Pidgeot's charging attitude did not slow down at all.

Boom——! ! !

The sound of the explosion was accompanied by the smoke and dust stirred up on the ground, and the sandstorm tornado in the sky gradually dispersed and fell back to the ground.

When the dust settled, Aislo, Xiao Jin and Mali all turned their eyes to the center of the venue.

At this time, Pidgeot was lying powerlessly on the soft ground, half of his body was submerged in the mud, and there was a hole in front of him.

At this moment, the rogue crocodile broke out of the ground not far away as the ground trembled slightly. It seemed that he had avoided Pidgeot's full-strength attack just now by digging a hole. But even so, he still looked extremely embarrassed at this moment, with scars of various sizes all over his body, and no one knew how they were caused.

Rogue Crocodile was gasping for breath. He fell to the ground due to the injuries on his body caused by excessive consumption. He had no doubt that if he had taken the blow from Pidgeot just now, he would have lost his ability to fight.

But... Rogue Crocodile took a deep breath and tried to stand up. Even though his body was a little shaky, he still stood on the field.

The gap in hard power was bridged by tactics. Even though Crocodile didn't like this way of winning, he wouldn't be stupid enough to take the opponent's ultimate move head-on - he also wanted to bring victory to his trainer.

In the end, the winner is decided!
