NOVEL NEXT Chapter 129: Chapter 129
Xiangling, Xingqiu, Yanfei, and all the group members were also discussing Hu Tao's opponent.
"There is nothing we can do. This Ajiu is too small!" Yanfei exclaimed.
"Toddler, this is it. There is no age limit for registration, but all trainers who register will have the green light." Takumi stared at this "Ajiu" and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is it really him?" he wondered.
"the incarnation of Azhdaha!" Takumi continued.
Ajiu, the girl near Fulongshu at the foot of Mt. Hulao in the original game, was standing there. Takumi browsed the list of players for the Super Tournament, and when he saw her information, he already made a guess.
Unexpectedly, it was really the Fat Dragon King.
"Now in this state of incarnation, should I call him Brother Tuozi or Sister Tuozi?" Takumi raised the corner of his mouth.
For a demon god who had been suppressed and sealed, and whose true spirit was almost worn out, Takumi had no intention of expelling them. Takumi was confident—let's not talk about his lineup of mythical Pokémon; how could they retire when Venti and Zhongli were just decorations? These two were gods on earth! As long as the demon god did not destroy the event, Takumi wouldn't engage in any conspiracy. Embracing the great era of Pokémon, Takumi welcomed the idea of becoming a trainer. The more challenges, the better it proved he was doing a great job as a promoter.
Takumi said softly, "This is the no-limit rule, a super match. Trainers and Pokémon fight together. Hu Tao's chances of overturning the match are very high."
The group members who didn't see the mystery of Ajiu were puzzled.
When Takumi said this, question marks appeared on their foreheads.
"???"
But at that moment…
"Beep!" The intelligent voice of the virtual venue said, "After a 3-second countdown, the battle begins! No limit on fighting methods, no limit on the number of Pokémon. When one of the trainers loses consciousness, the battle ends!"
3, 2, 1... at the last second, Hu Tao threw three Poké Balls at once.
"Oh no!" someone exclaimed.
The Poké Balls grew larger in mid-air and landed on the ground, filled with red light.
Gabite, level 47.
Flygon, level 50.
And Exeggcute , who had not yet evolved, was level 39.
If we judge Hu Tao's trainer rank based on the highest-level Flygon, she had obviously reached the mid-elite level (50~59).
Elite trainer! Even in the native Pokémon world, she was considered a relatively powerful figure, enough to serve as a city's peace officer. After all, upper-level elites/high-level elites (60~69) were only one step away from the status of a champion. They already belonged to the top of the league. There were only a few champions in a region.
Takumi nodded when he saw Hu Tao choose to throw three Poké Balls and release all her Pokémon.
"When it comes to Sister Tuozi, caution can save lives," he muttered.
Hu Tao threw a Poké Ball and also took out an inherited elemental weapon from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor—the Staff of Homa!
In the history of old Liyue, during a war-torn era, plagues occurred frequently, and filth was everywhere. The descendants of the Funeral Parlor held this staff to ignite things contaminated with filth. They were doctors but also mourners. Only unbridled fire could purify the filth of heaven and earth, raise red firewood, and drive away all evil spirits.
"Butterflies attract life! Rise!"
Hu Tao shouted, shaking the Staff of Homa, and the phantom of the Flame Disk exploded behind her.
"The spear opens the road to the afterlife, and the butterfly leads to the bridge of the beyond!"
The spear emerged and merged with her, like a fire dragon! When Takumi saw this, he shouted, "Incredible! Starting with elemental combat skills and an attack? This Hu Tao is fearless! She must have at least one level unlocked, right?!"
When Hu Tao rushed out with a scroll of flames and a protective spear, Gabite growled at Flygon as if commanding and urging.
(Little brother, it's time!)
(Big sister, I'll cover you!)
Although Flygon's level was higher, it showed great respect for Gabite . There was no way; bloodline suppresses it.
Flygon flapped its wings. When Hu Tao chose to take action first, she didn't forget to give instructions to her Pokémon:
"Flygon, use Screech!"
"Screech!"
Suddenly, a sound wave skill that could pierce the eardrum was emitted by Flygon.
Rumble... the audience area was protected by a light film, but the rebroadcast signal released these sharp sounds, and many people covered their ears with discomfort.
In the live broadcast room, ordinary people watching the super match were also speechless.
"If Flygon roared like this at us, we'd be stunned like a group of sheep to the slaughter, right?"
At the same time, Yae Miko, who was also watching the live broadcast closely, noticed Ajiu standing motionless during the terrifying sonic offensive.
"This player…" Yae Miko saw the camera zoom in, and there was a touch of sarcasm on Ajiu's childish face. She couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
Suddenly!
Loud bang.
A stone wall suddenly rose, blocking the camera and also blocking Hu Tao, who charged out with the power of a fire-wielding spear.
A Wall of Rock Elements!
Many people saw it and stood up in shock.
"Ajiu! She manipulated the rock element! But she clearly doesn't have a Vision?!"
The wall blocked the heavy attack. Hu Tao was slightly shocked that her attack was blocked, but she didn't forget about her three Pokémon in the outer circle.
"Flygon, use Earthquake!"
"Gabite , Meteor Swarm!"
"Exeggcute ..."
There was a slight pause in Hu Tao's command:
"Target the trainer on the opposite side and keep using Hypnosis!"
On the sidelines, Liu Su, who acted as the commentator, was speechless.
"Player Hu Tao's attack was blocked! Hey, Ajiu blocked the attack with her rock gun."
"What?! Hu Tao issued the battle order, and all three of her Pokémon launched a general attack!"
Ye, another commentator, secretly sighed. The training of these "commentators" was still too hasty. They had watched fewer battle videos and games, lacking the experience to grasp the battle situation. Regular competitions were manageable, but the Super Tournament was different.
Takumi wanted to create the most valuable rules and event, so he reluctantly made a guest appearance as a commentator. In this virtual space, there was no need for a microphone.
He spoke, his voice spreading throughout the audience:
"Player Hu Tao is truly impressive. She considered herself the lead striker to test Ajiu's strength and reaction first. If it doesn't work with one hit, it doesn't matter. Her intention is only to observe. Then, she chose Flygon as a fast attacker, which is undoubtedly correct. The main role in her team is still Gabite with its pseudo-legendary potential! And Exeggcute is trying to use Hypnosis to interfere with Ajiu—classic support tactics. This is the biggest difference between super matches and regular competitions: Pokémon can also directly attack the trainer!"
When Takumi quickly and clearly analyzed the battle on the field, Flygon had already flown near Ajiu.
(I only have control! Leave the final blow to the elder sister!)
Flygon, positioned as the team's jungler, erupted with strong impact power. At least half of the battlefield was shaken by the Earthquake. The ground shook! Ajiu's small figure remained steady, surrounded by faint rock element shields that seemed to ignore the upheaval. Takumi's expression became even more intrigued.
"Isn't this Zhongli's shield? Brother Tuozi, you and Rex Lapis are definitely connected!"
Ajiu raised her head and looked at Gabite leaping high. A group of meteorites was reflected in her deep eyes.
"Rumble..."
Countless spectators were shocked. The meteorites summoned and smashed down by Gabite , using some kind of dragon power, covered an entire area the size of a football field! Powerful, terrifying!
The scene that appeared in that moment was like a comet hitting Teyvat, full of an aura of destruction.
...
"W-what?!" Inazuma City, Hanamizaka Street.
Breaking through many obstacles along the way, Kujou Sara led 500 soldiers of the Tenryou Commission to encircle the Arataki Gang, who were stubbornly resisting. In the middle of the encirclement were Kuki Shinobu and Arataki Itto fighting. There were also people from Inazuma who had been attracted by the event and had not had time to evacuate.
Boom!
The world-destroying meteorite fell on the broadcast screen. There seemed to be a strong smell of fire and sulfur.
Kujou Sara, advancing to speak to Kuki Shinobu, heard the sound, looked up at the giant screen above her head, and was overcome by a look of horror.
"This... is what you meant when you said Pokémon compete with each other?!" Kujou Sara was stunned. Seeing the meteorites fall and the simulated scene of Tranquility Bay on the screen, her voice turned dry, and her intent to accuse was gone.
Kuki Shinobu could not control her heartbeat, speaking in shock:
"I... I didn't expect this either. A Pokémon that hasn't reached the top level can cause such destruction. If it were a mythical beast in the top tier... wouldn't it be able to destroy a city or even a country with one blow?"
Kujou Sara was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
