Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Chapter 361: Aislo vs. Xiaozhi (5) Lizard King, defeated

The smoke and dust covering Bangilas slowly dissipated, and the giant beast's half-closed eyes slowly opened. Its dark grey head suddenly pushed up with a tremendous force. The lizard king in a trance state was unable to resist at all, and was violently pushed away like a kite with a broken string.

"Banky—"

The deafening roar resounded throughout the arena once again, but the Lizard King's all-out attack was not in vain.

Bangilas clearly felt the stinging pain coming from the tiny cracks in his helmet's shell, which aroused his stronger desire to fight. The giant beast opened its mouth wide and let out a flamboyant laugh.

He had never laughed like this before.

Then Bangilas raised his foot and stomped the ground hard.

"Boom!"

Sharp rock spikes continuously emerged from all around the Lizard King's body, blocking his space for movement. Then, an endless curtain of icy snow mixed with sand and gravel gushed out of his mouth like a flood bursting through a dam, aiming directly at the green figure trapped in the rock spike cage. At this time, the dark red pupils that were like lanterns shone brightly.

In fact, considering the Lizard King's position just now, it would have been a better choice to catch it while it was close, but unfortunately, Bangilas's arms were a little short and he couldn't reach it.

"Hoo!"

There was no time to dodge, and the Lizard King's body was instantly covered by the blizzard. The biting cold seemed to penetrate the screen and the protective shield, and instantly climbed into the hearts of countless viewers.

Is that Bangilas really fearless? Can attacks of any attributes really not shake him?

“Lizard King!” Xiaozhi clenched his fists. No one thought that Lizard King could still fight under such a terrifying attack, not even Xiaozhi. The size of Bangiras was infinitely magnified in the boy’s eyes at this moment, just like when he first challenged the gym and faced Xiaogang’s Onix, he was powerless and weak...

"Pikapi!?"

At this moment, Pikachu's exclamation awakened Xiaozhi, who was recalling the past. The little guy excitedly stretched out his hand and pointed at the battlefield, and the boy also looked in the direction he pointed.

The Lizard King struggled to push away the snow that buried him, and stood up again shakily. Even though the injuries on his body reminded him that he had reached his limit, he still held his head high like a proud wanderer.

In the mess of ice and snow, a scarred claw was slowly digging away the heavy snow covering its body. Then, the green figure stood up shakily, like a bamboo in a storm, straightening its spine inch by inch. Even though the injuries on its body showed that it had reached its limit, the Lizard King still raised its head covered with ice chips like a proud wanderer.

"Sigh..."

The Lizard King turned his head with difficulty and looked at Xiaozhi deeply. The next moment, he turned back abruptly and pressed his claws heavily on the cold and broken ground. All the muscles in his body were shaking due to excessive tension. Then, emerald green flames emerged from his body and began to burn fiercely.

It’s lush!

At this moment, the dead silence in the entire audience was instantly broken, and cheers and shouts like a landslide and tsunami suddenly erupted and soared into the sky.

There is no one who does not like miracles, and no one who does not admire those who dare to draw their swords against the strong.

Without any hesitation, the Lizard King's muscles bulged and he moved.

“Sigh—yo—!!!”

With a soul-tearing scream, the Lizard King's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. He burst out with a terrifying speed that he had never achieved in his life, so fast that Bangilas couldn't even catch sight of his figure. Only a twisted emerald green light was left in the air.

Leaf Blade! The target was aimed directly at the scar on the top of Bangilas' head.

"Qiang——!"

An extremely harsh sound of metal colliding with stone suddenly exploded, and dazzling sparks burst out from Bangilas' body.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Then, the green light was like a meteor that had exhausted all its energy. At the moment of completing its final mission, the light suddenly went out, and the figure of the Lizard King fell powerlessly from mid-air. With a bang, it landed heavily on the cold ground behind Bangilas, completely losing consciousness, and the green flames burning on his body also dissipated without a trace.

Under the tremendous impact, Bangilas' huge head tilted back slightly, and his heavy body even staggered back a few steps, but it seemed that nothing was wrong.

But beneath this majestic exterior, Bangilas is emitting waves of guilt.

[Sorry, father.] Bangilas was like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his parents' criticism, [I underestimated the enemy...]

After the avalanche, he should have immediately added a jet of flame to end the battle once and for all...

"It's okay, it's not your fault, you've done a good job." Aislo comforted him softly. He didn't notice anything abnormal with the Lizard King's waveguide at first. "I am also responsible for this, I didn't remind you in time."

[……]Bangilas remained silent. He was the only one who knew how terrifying the attack of the Lizard King was. It was a pity that the opponent chose to attack the hardest part of his armor. But even so, Bangilas still felt a little confused. The severe pain was the first time he had ever experienced it in his life. If it was cut in other places...Bangilas did not think about it any more. It seemed that he had to take time to strengthen the defense of other parts of his body. It seemed that relying solely on lava and various metal calcinations was not enough...

"Lizard King, the Lizard King has lost its ability to fight! Please send the next Pokémon, Xiaozhi!"

The referee only felt that his voice seemed to be trembling. That leaf blade was a full-strength attack from a champion-level Pokémon, and it was resolved just like that?

The entire arena fell into deathly silence, with only the sound of the howling sandstorm as the rest of the arena could be heard.

"With the defense of that Bankiras... it should be able to hold back several champion-level Pokémon for a while." Nie Zi felt an indescribable shock in his heart. He did not remember how good this late-blooming Pokémon was at defense, so this should only be an isolated case.

But how was this monster cultivated?

Aislo: The slate, it's amazing, right?

"Hey, Darko, have you figured out how you're going to fight?" At this time, Ajin elbowed Darko in the lower ribs. He had already assumed that Darko would win the battle with Shinji.

Just now, the Lizard King's Leaf Blade move would have killed even a Flying Pokémon, but Bangiras looked fine...

"Simple..." Darko forced a smile, "Just use the Dark Hole."

"What if Eslo takes him back?" Shinji glanced at Darko, "Don't forget, in a regular battle, only one Pokémon in the team is allowed to sleep at the same time."

"..." Dakodo fell silent. If he is not a buddy, why would he chase and kill him?
