Chapter 329 Battle with Bamboo Orchid
From the very beginning, Zhu Lan displayed the aura of a champion.
Garchomp's earthquake attack is quite powerful.
With its deep roar, the entire battlefield shook violently, and a visible shockwave, like a rolling earth dragon, swept towards Ze Shu's two Pokémon with immense force. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked layer by layer, and rubble flew everywhere.
If the earthquake had actually hit Glaceon and Grimmsnarl, even if Zeki wouldn't be instantly defeated like the Elite Four member Infernape that people were joking about, he would still have suffered a serious injury, and the battles that followed might have been a series of defeats for him.
At this moment, everyone in the main hall's audience seats and all the viewers watching the live broadcast outside were interested in how Ze Shu would respond, their eyes fixed on him.
In their line of sight, Ze Shu, standing at one end of the battlefield, simply uttered a single sentence: "Eevee, Blizzard."
The sound was clearly transmitted to the ears of every spectator through the sound transmission devices on both sides of the battlefield.
"snowstorm?!"
The host speculated incredulously, "In this critical situation, Mr. Zeki actually commanded Glaceon to use Blizzard! Is he trying to ignore the power of Earthquake and engage in a direct confrontation with the Cynthia Champion?!"
"A clash of two wide-range attacks, earthquake and blizzard—will both sides face elimination right from the start of this exhibition match?!"
"Buyi!"
But the Ice Eevee on the field only let out a clear cry, and from its entire body of ice-blue light, a wild and turbulent blizzard rapidly emerged around it, evolving into an ice storm.
At the same time, Ergui retreated rapidly with his short legs.
This scene left the host speechless: "Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing! I've never seen a blizzard condense at this speed before! Glaceon's tiny body can unleash such immense energy!"
He then said in an incredulous tone, "If such a powerful blizzard were to be unleashed entirely on Cyndaquil Champion's Garchomp..."
But before the host could finish speaking, Glaceon, having completed its blizzard, moved. However, to the host's astonishment, Glaceon's primary target wasn't the Garchomp he had guessed, but rather...
ground.
The rocky ground was cracked and fractured layer by layer by the earthquake caused by the Garchomp.
The storm, which had condensed in the blizzard, rolled into the cracked ground like dark clouds pressing down on a city, instantly covering the entire area in front of Glaceon, freezing and thawing the area.
For a moment, the earth-shattering force of Garchomp was greatly reduced by the blizzard.
But the threat of earthquakes remains.
However, as Glaceon leaped lightly and landed precisely on the frozen clods of earth that had just been cracked and churned up by the earthquake and then frozen solid by the blizzard, making them harmless, Glaceon was able to land.
Zhu Lan then realized that the earthquake could no longer threaten the other party, as Ze Shu had broken through it.
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! I was wrong. I thought Mr. Zeki was going to engage in a brutal battle with Champion Zhulan, but instead, Mr. Zeki unexpectedly neutralized Champion Zhulan's attack with a blizzard!"
"Even more! Even more! It's not just about resolving it!"
"Garuda's earthquake still has residual power, though it poses no threat to Mr. Sawaki."
"But the Blizzard from Iceborne still has lingering power!"
"Some of these swirling, persistent blizzard-like gusts, making the field appear as if shrouded in white mist, were actually surging towards Cyndaquil Champion's Garchomp!"
"So, how will the usually powerful Cynthia Champion deal with Garchomp's type weaknesses?"
Under the host's gaze, the champion, Cynthia, remained completely calm. Instead, a smile played on her lips as she loudly proclaimed, seemingly enjoying the battle, "Milky Way, Guardian!"
Milotic's beautiful call evoked the sound.
A mysterious, seven-colored light descended from the sky, enveloping it and Garchomp like a veil.
Mystic Protection envelops a Pokémon in a mysterious power, preventing it from falling into an abnormal state. In other words, this move can protect the protected Pokémon from the effects of "freezing," "burning," and "poisoning" to a certain extent.
"But this is a blizzard! You can't be completely immune just by relying on some kind of mysterious protection!" the host exclaimed in alarm.
But Cynthia smiled and said, "If Ice-type moves can be Garchomp's Achilles' heel, then I shouldn't be in the Champion position at all."
She clearly hadn't forgotten this was an exhibition match, and said some champion-like things—well, things that would also hurt the feelings of a certain Flying-type Elite Four member who wanted to become the Kanto champion but couldn't.
"Garuda, don't let the blizzard stop you! Dragon Dive, target Glaceon!"
Zhu Lan had just given the order.
Facing the surging blizzard, Garchomp roared in a deep voice, unleashing a burst of violent purple dragon-type energy, and charged forward like a cannonball!
As it tore through the blizzard, it charged straight at Glaceon with devastating force!
"Wow!! Such a direct, decisive, and forceful command style!! No wonder we are the mighty Bamboo Orchid Champion!!" The host shouted wildly, as if he had reached a climax.
But it's not surprising that Garchomp's Dragon Dive was so powerful, and with Cynthia's immense popularity and prestige, many viewers clenched their fists and stared wide-eyed in awe as soon as the move was unleashed.
"Could it be that with this dragon god's swooping attack, the battle is about to become one-sided?!"
No one would believe that the small, cute, and delicate Glaceon could withstand the power of Garchomp's dive attack.
But then the host's astonished voice rang out: "Let's see what Glaceon does... Wait, what?! Glaceon... Where's Glaceon?!"
On the snow-shrouded arena, still shrouded in mist from the blizzard, the host looked left and right, but couldn't spot Glaceon's petite, icy-blue body. After a moment of stunned silence, the host suddenly widened his eyes: "I know! It's Snowvein!"
"It's the Snow Cloak ability of Glaceon!"
"The blizzard that Mr. Zeki commanded at the start not only serves two purposes—blocking earthquakes and attacking Garchomp—but also, even more importantly, it has a third purpose—creating the environmental conditions for Glaceon's Snow Cloak ability!"
"This is simply unbelievable! This is the trainer who can compete against the Cynthia Champion in an exhibition match?!"
The host felt he was at a loss for words and kept repeating the word "unbelievable".
On the field, Garchomp was rampaging, but in this snow-covered area, it could never touch or see Glaceon's small body. It could only occasionally hear small movements around it, like footprints in the snow.
This is driving it crazy!
The move Dragon Dive is already known to easily make Pokémon aggressive!
"Garuda, switch targets! Ignore Glaceon for now!" Cynthia reacted quickly, pointing at Ursaring behind her who was holding a Thorn Stick as if "slacking off".
Amidst the snow and mist, Garchomp roared once more, unleashing a torrent of Dragon-type energy, and hurtled towards the Fiend like a cannonball!
This time, it seemed to go very smoothly.
Garchomp successfully attacked the "Goblin" and knocked it away.
But why does it feel so light?
It was as if he hadn't bumped into anything at all.
At this moment, Ze Shu slowly spoke, "Evil Pine, show your power! Thorn Vine Staff."
Upon hearing this command, the host asked, puzzled, "Wasn't that Grass-type Pokémon named Ursaring knocked away by Garchomp? How can Mr. Sawaki still be able to command it...?"
'
"Bonnie!!"
The host stopped mid-sentence.
Because this eerie sound didn't come from the "green-clad" creature that Garchomp had knocked away, but rather from... Milotic, which was some distance away from Garchomp!
This unexpected response not only startled the host, but also surprised Zhu Lan.
As she looked, she saw white mist swirling around the area surrounding Milotic, which was shrouded in mysterious, seven-colored light. Suddenly, a dazzling light belonging to the crystals shone forth!
"Tai Jinghua".
With just one glance at the light, Zhu Lan recognized the unique fighting style of Beishang Township.
The light of the Taijing was extremely dazzling, and in just a few breaths it seemed to be completed. In an instant, a large, laughing demon mask shining with dazzling Taijing suddenly appeared.
That raised thorny vine.
It also suddenly and violently crashed down on Milotic, who was caught off guard!
Bang! ! !
"Wu Na Yi"
A loud bang was heard.
Then, Milotic's mournful cry echoed across the field.
"This...this...this—" The turn of events came too fast, leaving the host speechless and momentarily speechless.
Fortunately, he was quite professional; after a moment of stunned silence, he quickly shouted, "That was amazing! That was amazing!"
"I thought Mr. Sawaki's blizzard was unparalleled with just three effects! But now! Mr. Sawaki has shown us with his actions what this fourth effect is!"
"That means making the Evil Creeper conceal its form!"
"Everyone, did you notice the grass-colored cloak that Urgot was wearing at the start? That's what Garchomp attacked with its dive attack! That's a fake Urgot! The shell it used to shed its skin!"
"It was the lingering effects of the blizzard that made Garchomp's vision blurry, causing it to mistake the grass-green cloak for a ghoul!"
"But the true evil, hidden beneath the blizzard, had already stealthily crept up to Milotic, ready to deliver a fatal blow!"
"Tactics! This is real tactics! No, it can't even be called tactics anymore!" The host was so excited his left and right brains were working against each other. "I once heard a saying from a distant Eastern country: 'The art of war is deception!' This is simply, simply!"
He was so excited that he couldn't say anything; it was a serious dereliction of duty.
But none of the onlookers blamed him.
In the live stream room of "DianDian Live Streamer", QiShu's mouth was already wide open, enough to fit a Poké Ball, and it remained open for a long time.
Such exaggerated performances made the viewers forget to take screenshots; instead, they filled the screen with question marks—however, only a small portion of those question marks were for Qi Shu's exaggerated facial expressions.
"Sawaki, Sawaki is so amazing!!" After a long while, Kiki rubbed his stiff jaw and exclaimed in surprise.
Then she glanced at the comments and puffed out her cheeks.
"What what what?!"
"You guys actually question how the streamer could possibly know such an amazing person?!"
"What do you mean by this?!"
While the strange tree confronts and even argues with the barrage of attacks, the battlefield is rapidly changing.
Milotic's scales shimmered with a fine light, and even under the crystallized thorny vines of the Evil Spirit, it still retained some strength.
Furthermore, under Zhu Lan's subsequent command, an avalanche was quickly condensed using the remnants of the blizzard on the field, temporarily forcing back the Egui Peng who had taken off his coat.
On the other side, the swaying cloak of the Garchomp, which had been lightly knocked away by its dragon-like dive, was slowly drifting down from Garchomp's head. At the same time, Garchomp felt a chilling, dangerous sensation!
"Garuda, retreat!" Cynthia shouted.
Trust in its trainer caused Garchomp to retreat without hesitation—despite being a "Ground Dragon," it was quite fast, and unlike some earth god that couldn't fly, it flew incredibly fast, like a jet plane.
It was precisely this speed advantage and the lack of hesitation that allowed it to evade a fatal attack.
During its rapid retreat, an extremely thin line of ice narrowly missed the Garchomp's head.
Although the ice line didn't look particularly noticeable, it made Garchomp break out in a cold sweat.
It is clear.
This is the attack from the Ice Eevee hidden in the blizzard fog. A compressed, extremely concealed beam of frozen light.
"Eevee..." The freezing beam missed its target, and Glaceon's muttering could still be heard from within the icy mist.
Garchomp: 一=ǒǒ）！
You're actually disappointed! If that freezing beam hits it, it'll be dead!
To avoid danger, Garchomp retreated to Cyndaquil's side, next to Milotic. Seeing the two standing together, Urgot didn't linger, hopping back to the battlefield on the Zephyr's side and putting its grass-colored cloak back on.
The temperature in this blizzard-swept arena isn't exactly pleasant, and the Grass-type Urgot is a bit sensitive to the cold.
"Milanos, Tornado!"
With a wave of her hand, Cynthia's tail curled, creating a large-scale but weak tornado. Its purpose, of course, was not to attack, but to disperse the remnants of the blizzard that had repeatedly thwarted them earlier.
Soon, the snow and mist on the field were blown away.
Milotic and Garchomp versus Glaceon and Grimmsnarl stand on opposite sides.
It felt like we were back at the very beginning of the battle.
However, the difference is...
The site was in a mess, with the ground cracked layer by layer due to the earthquake, and the rock and soil that broke off were frozen into frozen rocks due to the blizzard, with fine ice crystals covering the ground.
The two Pokémon on Cyndaquil's side also looked a bit disheveled. Garchomp wasn't seriously injured, but it was panting heavily. Milotic's fine and beautiful scales were also slightly warped, which was caused by Grimmsnarl hitting them with its thorny vine club.
"Really. You really have given me so many surprises." Looking at Ze Shu, Zhu Lan smiled and sighed, "I dare not imagine what it would be like to truly be your enemy."
"Then you'll have to treat me even better from now on, my boss," Ze Shu said with a wave of his hand and a smile.
