Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Chapter 339 Kojiro vs. Asuka (3) (4K)

"hiss……"

A strange metallic friction sound was heard, and a bird-like Pokémon with shining wings and an aura like a sword was flying freely in the sandstorm, seemingly without feeling any resistance.

This is one of Asuk's trump cards, the champion-level Pokémon, Armorbird, who once had a record of defeating the three sacred beasts.

"What exactly is your purpose?" Asu stared at the yellow sand. At this moment, he could no longer see Kojiro's movements. "Armored Bird, Metal Sound!"

There is no time to lose, the most important thing now is to determine the other party's current position.

A sharp sound of metal friction suddenly rang out. This sound, which was almost indistinguishable from a mental attack, even made the dust around the Armored Bird tremble faintly. But strangely, there was still no movement from Kojiro and Menggonaya.

"?" For some reason, Asu suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and this feeling of uneasiness became stronger as time went by.

"What on earth are they planning to do... The sandstorm can only block our view, but Mengonaya... Wait! Mengonaya?!"

Asu's pupils suddenly shrank after making some guesses. He shouted to his partner in the air without hesitation, "Armored Bird, Shadow Clone!"

"Crack?" The trembling feathers of the Armored Bird paused slightly. Just when he wanted to move at high speed to create an illusion, a dark purple chain suddenly emerged from the sandstorm and drilled directly into his body, as if it was connected to his soul.

Seeing this scene, Asu, who had confirmed his thoughts, looked grim, "This is..."

"We share the same fate..." On the other side, Kojiro looked at Menggonaya who was so close to him with an unclear look in his eyes. At this moment, he did not try to stop his partner's "self-harm", but accepted the other's determination to sacrifice for him.

"Hey!" A gentle curve appeared on Meng Genia's seemingly ferocious face. He once again remembered the scene of his first meeting with Kojiro, and the separation because of their weakness.

This time, he...will not let his partners down!

Meng Genia, whose physical strength was almost at its limit, covered his right fist with light brown energy, and then he smashed it down on his chest with all his strength. At the same time, the pupils of the armored bird in the air in the distance suddenly shrank, and then it fell straight to the ground.

Menggonia and Armorbird lost their ability to fight at the same time.

This almost dramatic scene took place in the King of Kings competition, which undoubtedly sparked a lot of discussion in the outside world again.

"Come back, Armored Bird. Sorry, I didn't give good command this time." After Asu took the Armored Bird back, he said to the Poké Ball in his hand with a little apology. Then the blue-haired boy raised his head again. With the yellow sand blocking his view, he still couldn't see Kojiro's expression at this time, so the pressure in his heart gradually increased. "This time, I was really tricked."

A bitter smile flashed across Asu's face, and then he looked at Pidgeot who had been standing beside him. He was not going to continue to consume it, "I'll leave it to you from now on, buddy."

"Hey!"

Pidgeot flapped his broad wings and pierced into the sandstorm like an arrow. The strong wind along the way ruffled Asuka's flowing blue hair. At the same time, the storm he released also completely dispersed the sand and dust.

The sandstorm stopped.

On the other side, after Kojiro personally went into the sandstorm and brought Menggonaya back, he looked at his last companion.

"Xiao Ka..."

"Wang Wang!"

Caterpillar's eyes are as bright as ever.

"Then next, for our dream, let's go, Kakashi!" Kojiro's aura changed unconsciously. After taking Mengonea back into the Poké Ball, he became more "confident" and serious.

"Woof woof!" Growlithely leaped lightly and came to the battlefield. The small box hanging around his neck made a jingling sound.

For some unknown reason, Asuk suddenly saw the figure of an old friend and a yellow-skinned rat in Kojiro and the Houndoo.

"The first move wins, Xiaoka, howl loudly, then spray fire!"

If you want the increased physical attack to work, you have to knock down the opponent first. The long howl and intimidation worked at the same time, and Xiao Ka barely got the upper hand in this confrontation of momentum.

After Pidgeot dodged the attack easily, Asu slowly raised his left hand, lifted his sleeve, revealing a bracelet inlaid with colorful gemstones, and then the young man looked at the big bird in the sky with a firm gaze.

"Pidot, please respond to my feelings."

As his fingers slid across the keystone, both the Pidgeot and the keystone emitted brilliant light at the same time.

"Mega evolution, Pidgeot, use Wind!"

Colorful light exploded, and a giant bird even more powerful than before soared in the sky, looking with contempt at the Growlithe below that was almost shrinking into a small black dot. The gap in hard power between Kakashi and Pidgeot was further widened.

As the broad wings flapped, a strong wind suddenly arose. If it weren't for the strong strength of Growlithe, it would have been blown into the sky by this move.

"Xiao Ka, use the overheat on the sky!"

Kojiro's voice pierced through the strong wind and reached Growlithe's ears. Years of tacit understanding made him understand his partner's intentions instantly.

"Ow!"

There was another long cry that was almost like a wolf's howl, and flames began to burn all over the body of the Caterpie. Even its originally shining pupils were stained with a hint of red. Then, a huge column of fire that almost covered the sky of the entire venue suddenly rose up, and the scorching temperature caused the surrounding air to distort.

"Have you completely given up on special attack?" Asu frowned slightly. After using the fire-type special move Overheat, the special attack of the Pokémon will drop significantly. You must know that Kartiri is different from Arcanine, and the former's physical attack and special attack are almost the same.

"Yan Fan, rush over!"

"Hey!"

A brilliant silver light burst out from Pidgeot's body, and then it dived down like a free fall. The wall of fire was unexpectedly thin, which allowed Pidgeot to quickly approach Growlithe without suffering any damage.

However, just as this Swallow Return was about to hit Growlithe, the flames that suddenly ignited on Pidgeot's body caused him to accidentally deviate from his course.

"Is that burning?" Asu opened his eyes wide in surprise, but he quickly reacted and looked up at the afterglow of the flames in the sky that had not yet completely dissipated, "It was at that time..."

Melting the will-o'-the-wisp (phosphorus fire) into the overheating...

The physical attack of a Pokémon in the burning state will be greatly reduced. Coupled with the previous intimidation, Pidgeot is undoubtedly in a very bad state without a move that can clear the state.

But it doesn't matter... Asu's expression remained unchanged. There was an invisible gap between the champion level and the king level. The influence of this state alone would not affect the outcome of the battle at all.

"Pidot, use Storm!"

A storm even more violent than before suddenly descended, but Kojiro reacted without delay, "Ka, dig a hole to get out of the way!"

"Wang!"

Growlithe burrowed underground in an instant. Seeing this, Kojiro breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could completely relax, Asuka's voice made Kojiro's heart hang in the air again.

"Then tear up the ground, Pidgeot!"

"what?"

The ground was torn apart by that storm, literally.

No matter how hard the ground specially made by the Alliance was, it was still unable to survive the ultimate move that Pidgeot used with all his strength.

"Woo!"

Caterpie was swept into the air, and the sharp wind left scars on his body.

"Xiaoka!"

……

"It's really a terrifying gap." Dakodo was watching the scene on TV seriously. If there were no special circumstances, the suppression of the champion level over the king level would be unreasonable.

At this time, Ajun looked at the boy with a cold face not far away with a smile, "It seems that Shinji is wrong~"

"Idiot." Shinji's words were still so simple and straightforward.

Ignoring the quarrel over there, Mary looked at the black-haired boy beside her curiously and asked, "A Luo, do you think Kojiro still has a chance of winning?"

"Generally speaking, it's unlikely." Aislo's eyes moved rapidly. He was staring at the small box on the neck of the Caterpie. "What's in that box?"

There is no need to put the berries in this kind of box, and props like the Soothing Bell are even more impossible. Moreover, it seemed like Growlithe was intentionally pushing its own limits just now, as if it was enduring something. This was what confused Eslos the most.

"The Stone of Eternity?" Mary said something that made her laugh. If Growlithe didn't want to evolve, it didn't need that thing at all.

However, the next moment, the girl's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Eslo who had the same idea as her.

"I see……"

……

"Ka-chan!" Kojiro exclaimed. Once again, Caterpie was blown to the ground while running wildly. The young man shouted, "Are you okay?"

"Woof woof!" The barking of the dog in response to him was still loud and clear. The Growlithe stared at its opponent in the air with burning eyes, and that look even made Pidgeot feel a little uncomfortable.

Asuka felt a little weird at this moment, "Why do I feel like the villain? Forget it, Pidgeot, prepare to end the battle with the Ultimate Impact!"

"Hey!"

Pidgeot began to circle in the air.

On the other hand, Caterpillar stood up for who knows how many times, and it seemed that it had reached its limit.

"Having stood up again, Growlithe has no way to retreat now!" The commentator of this game showed up at this time, and his previous words did not even reach the ears of the two players.

"It's not over yet, we can still fight!" Kojiro wiped the cold sweat from his cheek. He and Growlithe looked at each other. They had already come here, how could they fall down here?

"Woof woof!" The straight-armed Caterpie suddenly wagged its tail in excitement. Its body was covered in dust and dirt, just like when the two of them were playing together before.

They have shared joys and sorrows, and they have also tried their best to fight for their future.

【When you think you have reached your limit, bite it. 】

I, Growlithe, fell in love with the black box hanging around his neck. This is the strongest wind speed dog in Sasaki's family, and it is also the teaching of his teacher to him.

And now, it seems like the time has come.

"Let's show the guys on the other side our full strength!"

"Ow—"

A long-lost fierce light appeared in Xiao Ka's eyes, and the scorching flames began to burn on his body again. Then, in full view of everyone, he bit off his collar and the small box hanging on it, and broke it into pieces with one bite.

The scorching temperature suddenly burst out, and huge and pure fire energy rushed into Growlithe's body frantically. That was the Fire Stone!

The brilliant white light bloomed like a flower, and it seemed that even the heaven and earth were eclipsed by it.

When the light faded, only a large dog over two meters tall remained on the field, with the breeze blowing through his fur and flames entwined around his four legs.

Windy Dog, makes a grand appearance.

The next moment, Kojiro's voice came again, "Run at super speed!"

"Ow!"

Arcanine, or Kakashi, ran around the battlefield with all his might. The scorching flames made it walk in the air, and it ran straight towards Pidgeot who was ready to dive in the air.

"Flash Charge!"

"boom--"

The moment the Ultimate Impact and the Flash Charge collided, the entire Quartz Arena trembled. People in the audience subconsciously grabbed the handrails, and the audience in the front row were unable to open their eyes due to the strong wind caused by the heat wave. The collision of flames and flying energy formed a spiral energy cloud on the dome, and the emergency shield in the venue was automatically activated, forming a light blue light curtain in front of the audience.

In the flames, the golden-red mane of the wind dog was like flowing magma, and each hair was bursting with sparks of fire. The silver-white feathers of the Pidgeot curled and charred in the high temperature, but the sharp eagle eyes were still locked on the opponent. The two energies formed a vacuum zone in the stalemate, and the ground rolled up layer by layer, revealing the scorched earth with green smoke underneath.

The raging flames collided with the giant bird's body, making a shocking sound. A dazzling light burst out, causing countless people to subconsciously close their eyes, but Kojiro and Asuka seemed unaffected and still stared at the sky.

When the light gradually faded, Arcanine with messy hair proudly fell back to the ground, while Pidgeot was charred all over, and after flapping its wings a few times in the air, it fell heavily to the ground.

Pidgeot, lose the ability to fight!

Before Yulongdu stepped forward to confirm, he saw Asu slowly raised his right hand, "I give up."

The boy didn't think his Night Owl could defeat his opponent.

As I said, there is an invisible gap between the champion and the king.

"But... it's enough." Asu smiled and put Pidgeot back into the Poké Ball. He didn't have any excessive pursuit for the position of the King. Winning is winning, losing is not a big deal. He can still learn something from it. For him, either result is good.

As Asu's voice fell, the battle also came to an end.

With this, Kojiro and Nancy became the two candidates for the king of the Kanto Alliance. After completing a series of training and handovers, they will be able to officially take office.

And Kojiro also successfully became the first Grass-type king in the history of the current league, but that is a story for later.

At the same time, in the audience, Meow Meow, who had been closely following the battle, finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's over, meow..."

"Yeah, since it's over here..." Musashi put down the cheering stick in her hand, then slowly turned her head to look to her left. If you look closely, you can see murderous intent in her eyes.

"Then it's our turn~" Lu Meijia's eyes were equally dangerous.
