Chapter 827 Killing Sachi
"?!"
The Salt Stone Giant slowly emerged, its massive body blocking the Shadow Orb. At the same time, as the brown salt clinging to the Salt Stone Giant began to glow, the Shadow Orb's power was significantly weakened.
Salt Giant's ability Clean Salt: Pokémon with this ability cannot get into status conditions and take half damage from Ghost-type attacks.
“Saltstone Giant, huh? It’s a bit tough, but not insurmountable,” Yang Ming said sharply. “Gengar, use Focus Blast!”
Sachi's face darkened. The True Qi Bullet was a special attack with a fighting attribute. If the Rock Giant were hit by this move, it would probably be crippled even if it didn't die.
"Gem Starfish, protect the Rock Giant! Rock Giant, use salt!"
Although Starmie is also one of her main Pokémon, since she hasn't obtained Starmie's Mega Evolution Stone yet, Sachi decided to make it sacrifice itself to protect Giant Salt, an important defensive unit.
Starmie's body spun rapidly in mid-air, moving in front of Salt Giant. At the same time, a large number of crystalline salt blocks suddenly appeared under Gengar's feet, tightly binding Gengar's legs and spreading continuously up Gengar's body.
Salt Giant's signature move - Salting: This move can inflict continuous damage on the opponent's Pokémon, and is more effective against Water and Steel-type Pokémon.
Gengar endured the pain and desperately gathered energy. Soon, a jet-black energy ball was launched from its hand.
"What?! It's a Shadow Ball?!" Sachi's expression changed drastically. She clearly heard Yang Ming about to use a Fighting-type Focus Blast, which is why she sent Starmie, which is resistant to Focus Blast, to defend. Why would Gengar suddenly disobey its trainer's orders and use a Ghost-type Shadow Ball instead?!
In fact, all of this was a trick played by Yang Ming using the power of Viridian. Since mastering the power of Viridian, Yang Ming has had the ability to communicate with Pokémon. He can give verbal commands to Pokémon on the surface, but actually give other commands in order to cover up his tactical intentions.
The reason Yang Ming hadn't used this tactic before was because it was extremely cumbersome. It required simultaneously giving a verbal command to the Pokémon and using Viridian Power to issue the real command, which was incredibly taxing on the trainer's energy. If it weren't for Sachi's ever-present trump cards, Yang Ming wouldn't have wanted to use this move at all.
The Shadow Ball hurtled towards them, slamming heavily into the core of the Gem Star. The Gem Star was already countered by the Shadow Ball, and now it was hit in a vital spot, collapsing on the spot and losing its ability to fight.
Without the protection of the gem starfish, the rock giant also lost teammates who could form a defensive system with it, and soon found itself in a tough battle.
"Crawling Wing, Trembling Salamander, Meowth, Moltres, assist Rock Giant!"
With Starmie defeated, Satchel's situation became increasingly precarious. She could only gather the Pokémon that were still able to fight and do everything she could to protect herself.
Unfortunately, the other person would never give her that chance.
"Hmph, trying to escape?" Apollo sneered. "Iron Neck, unleash the power of the earth!"
Just as the Pokémon gathered together, the ground beneath their feet suddenly exploded, spewing out a large amount of lava that attacked Sachi's Pokémon team.
Similar to the "Ancient Activity" of Roaring Moon and Crawling Wing, Iron Neck, as a future species, also possesses a characteristic called "Quark Charging," which greatly enhances its power when its environment has an electrical field.
Previously, Sachi had specially created an electric field to enhance the combat capabilities of the Vibrating Salamander and the Iron Winged Salamander, but now it has benefited Apollo instead.
"Damn it, you tricked me!" Sachi's eyes widened in anger, but he could only quickly command his Pokémon to dodge. Galarian Moltres soared into the air, avoiding the impact of the lava; Toxtricity released a sonic wave, shattering the approaching lava; Persian nimbly leaped among the lava, looking for an opportunity to counterattack; and Groundwing used its hard shell to withstand some of the lava's attack.
However, the rock giant was slow-moving and took the hit hard. Its legs sank into the ground, temporarily rendering it unable to move.
"Saltstone Giant, quickly use Self-Regeneration to heal your injuries!" Sachi shouted urgently.
What Apollo was waiting for was precisely that moment of her panic.
"Now's the time, Houndoom, use Sunny Day!"
Mega Houndoom roared to the sky, and the scorching sunlight instantly enveloped the battlefield. With the Solar Power ability boosting its power, Mega Houndoom's strength surged dramatically, reaching an extremely high level in the blink of an eye.
"Heiluga, the big character is Explosive Flame!"
At Apollo's command, Mega Houndoom unleashed a massive burst of flame, which swept towards Satch's Pokémon like a raging torrent. The intense heat of this fiery explosion was amplified many times over in the bright sunlight. With Starmie defeated and Giant Salt trapped underground, Satch's remaining Pokémon were utterly powerless to withstand this devastating attack.
boom!
The massive explosion of flames instantly ignited, splattering onto the four Pokémon. Persian and Toxtricity, exhausted and unable to battle, were the first to fall, having already been injured in the previous battle.
Although Galarian Moltres was powerful, it was also blasted away by Mega Houndoom's Flame Burst and was temporarily defeated.
"Crawling Wings, don't panic, use the Taijing Burst to counterattack!" Sachi shouted sharply. The Crawling Wings possessed ancient active properties and could also enhance themselves with the help of sunny weather.
However, she still misjudged the situation.
Just as Crawling Wing was about to unleash its Crystal Burst again, Roaring Moon swooped down from the sky and bit down hard on Crawling Wing. Normally, Crawling Wing has Bug/Fighting type, and the Dark type Roaring Moon wouldn't dare to fight it head-on. However, Sachi changed Crawling Wing's type to deal with Iron Neck, which made it lose its resistance to Dark type. Now, with the amplification from Ancient Vitality, Roaring Moon's strength has greatly increased, and it easily suppressed Crawling Wing, which is also a Paradox species.
"hateful……"
Sachi's face was grim; the current situation was simply unbearable for her. Just then, something even worse happened: the Earthwing, the Saltstone Giant, and the Galarian Firebird suddenly turned red in the eyes and then abruptly left the battlefield.
Yang Ming and Apollo were stunned. This sudden change caught them off guard, while Sachi, the trainer, turned pale, as if he realized that he was about to be in big trouble.
"Come back quickly, don't leave me!" Sachi desperately called out to her Pokémon, trying to get them to stay. She knew that without their protection, she would surely die.
However, these Pokémon ignored their "master's" calls and left on their own.
“Although I don’t know what happened, it seems your good luck has run out,” Yang Ming drew his short sword and slowly approached Sachi. “Then, you can die now.”
As Yang Ming cleaved through the air, Sachi's head rolled to the ground, dripping with blood, her face still bearing a look of despair before she died.
