"Beep, beep, beep!"
Soon, the four avatars on the plaza's large screen began to spin again.
After seeing his avatar appear, Wally took a deep breath and looked at the blue bird on his shoulder.
"It's finally our turn, Swablu!"
He steadily boarded the hot-air balloon and slowly ascended into the sky with the three people around him.
When the hot-air balloon carrying the target ring reached its apex at the center of the field, Wally's demeanor changed. His previously soft and hesitant demeanor transformed, his expression becoming one of absolute determination.
"Now, Swablu!"
The match began, and Swablu flapped its wings, charging out first.
"Beautifly, use Silver Wind!"
"Natu, use Psybeam!"
The two Pokémon behind pursued relentlessly, even unleashing dangerous moves.
"Coo-coo~!"
Swablu glanced below, and as its small cotton wings flapped, it managed to evade both attacks simultaneously.
Clang!
With a peck, it firmly grasped the ring in its beak.
"This kid's got some skills!"
Ash's eyes lit up from the spectator stands. Wally, after all, was a trainer who challenged Gyms, making him significantly stronger than an average trainer.
But this match's fourth Pokémon...
"Ugh, this is outrageous."
Ash's expression tightened as he looked at the stout, yellow Dragonite lagging at the very back, showing no hurry to catch up. He couldn't help but complain.
Outrageous! Are they using Dragonite in the Ring Competition now?!
The fourth participant was a punk with a mohawk. He was all muscle, dressed in spiked biker gear, and exuded a wild, unruly aura.
Just as there were many biker gangs near Celadon City in the Kanto Region, there was a similarly large group near Mauville City.
Verdanturf Town was adjacent to Mauville City, so there were quite a few bikers nearby as well.
"Hehe! Dragonite, take them all out in one go, use Dragon Pulse!"
The biker brute commanded with a fierce gaze.
The Dragonite, currently at the very back, had its three targets almost perfectly aligned in a straight line.
It then raised its head, and a current of purplish-black energy burst forth, transforming mid-air into a ferocious energy dragon.
Boom, whoosh!
The Dragon Pulse swept through, its terrifying power exploding successively on Natu and Beautifly. Its aftershock didn't stop, continuing towards Swablu at the highest point.
"Dodge it, quick!"
Wally urgently shouted, his expression also darkening.
Outrageous! How could a Dragonite appear in the first round?!
Isn't that an incredibly precious pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Kanto Region?!
"Coo-coo...!"
Swablu's plump body rose, narrowly evading the furious Dragon Pulse.
The other two Flying-type Pokémon, after taking a hit, were on their last legs, wobbling precariously in the air.
"Oh, so they can still withstand one hit, huh?"
The biker brute laughed aloud, then attacked again.
"Then use Hurricane to utterly crush them!"
He was here at this Ring Competition simply to beat people up.
"Roooaaar!"
This Dragonite's expression was also quite ferocious, unlike the typically adorable ones.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As its pair of small wings flapped, a powerful hurricane swept across most of the sky, completely enveloping all three of its opponents.
Although its power was significantly weaker for being spread out, it still sent Natu and Beautifly spinning uncontrollably.
Thud!
Thud!
With their last bit of stamina depleted, the two finally fell powerlessly from the sky.
"Wooo!"
In an instant, only Swablu's form remained in the arena, struggling to hold on.
Its small body, caught in the immense hurricane, was like a small boat on the verge of capsizing...
Under the hurricane, its entire body felt as if it were stuck in a mire, struggling to move.
"Now, use Dragon Pulse!"
Dragonite suddenly stopped flapping its wings, raised its head again, and opened its maw as wide as possible.
Boom, whoosh!
A purplish-black energy dragon burst out again, moving at extreme speed. Swablu had no time to react before the Dragon Pulse exploded on its body!
In mid-air, smoke immediately billowed.
"What a ruthless Dragonite!"
Many in the audience couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Is this what a pseudo-legendary from other regions is like? Although its build is a bit bizarre, it's certainly violent.
"Swablu!?"
Wally, who was in the hot-air balloon, called out anxiously, wishing he could jump out and get closer to check.
As the smoke dispersed, the charred Swablu reappeared in the public eye, its body swaying precariously.
It no longer had the strength to hold the ring in its mouth, which simply fell to the ground below.
However, Swablu's gaze remained incredibly firm as it turned its head to stare at Wally.
"Coo-coo...!!"
"Swablu..."
Gradually, Wally was also inspired by Swablu's fighting spirit.
For this Ring Competition, the pair had specifically stayed in Verdanturf Town for many days, undergoing arduous training.
Even if they couldn't win the championship today, they certainly couldn't be eliminated in the first round like this!
"Coo!"
Swablu let out another loud cry. The next moment, a strange, dazzling white light suddenly enveloped its body.
Its form, within the white light, continuously expanded and grew larger...
"It evolved again?!"
"This is the second time, right?!"
"Outrageous!"
The crowd gasped in amazement. This year's Ring Competition was truly quite violent.
This competition was usually quite peaceful, mostly about competing for the ring rather than direct, violent battles.
Just these two matches alone would have been the quality of a final-round battle in previous years.
"Wooo~!!"
As the light faded, Swablu revealed its new form.
Its body had grown enormous, approximately two-thirds the size of Dragonite. It had a slender neck, and two long, ribbon-like plumes floated from its round head.
Most of its blue body was hidden beneath a thick, fluffy layer of white cotton, revealing only its head, claws, and tail feathers.
"Beep, beep. Altaria, a Dragon and Flying-type Pokémon. Its cotton-like feathers grant it extremely strong defensive power, and its singing is enchanting. However, in recent years, Altaria has also been labeled a 'traitor to the Dragon-type'."
Ash's Pokédex automatically identified and reported.
"?"
Ash raised an eyebrow, looking at the beautiful figure in the sky.
Last time it was the 'disgrace of the Dragon-type,' and now, a 'traitor to the Dragon-type' has appeared.
Why do you Dragon-type Pokémon have so many chains of disdain?!
After completing its evolution, Altaria's battle prowess surged, but the damage from the few moves it took earlier was still present, and it looked extremely fatigued.
Yet, at this moment, both trainer and Pokémon shared an expression brimming with fighting spirit, just like Ash and Swellow in the previous match.
"Use Mist!"
Wally gestured decisively. This time, it was his turn to attack.
Poof!
Altaria opened its mouth and exhaled a massive cloud of mist, completely engulfing Dragonite.
Although it had no power, it temporarily trapped Dragonite in mid-air, completely obscuring its vision.
Altaria immediately spread its wide, cottony wings. Instead of attacking Dragonite, it dived rapidly toward the ground where the ring had fallen!
