Chapter 1198: The Water Drop Badge, vs. Juan! (Part 2)
May 15, 2024 | Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
The high-intensity battle had everyone in the stands holding their breath, afraid of disturbing the fight below.
This was, without a doubt, the most spectacular exhibition match in LaRousse City in recent years!
"As expected of Mr. Juan..."
On the stage, Ash also revealed a surprised expression.
He hadn't expected to be the one to find himself at a disadvantage first.
The coordination between Walrein and Milotic was particularly ingenious and fluid.
When it came to Double Battles, his skills were indeed a bit weaker. But that wasn't his specialty anyway.
"Then I guess I'll get a little more serious!"
Ash's words sounded incredibly punchable.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...!!
The ground, buried by the Rock Slide, suddenly erupted with a violent commotion.
A rapidly spinning body forcibly burst out from beneath the avalanche, reappearing before everyone's eyes, full of life.
The Electric Titan!
Meanwhile, Entei's gaze turned stern, its expression holding a hint of anger.
Clearly, using Encore on it again was a clear humiliation.
"Walrein, use Encore!!"
Juan paid it no mind, seemingly intending for Walrein to completely lock Entei into a one-on-one.
That binding force exerted itself again, making Entei instinctively want to stomp the ground...
"AWOOOO!!"
The next moment, however, Entei suddenly threw its head back and roared, letting out a thunderous lion's cry. Its powerful might sent a chill down the spines of countless people!
And after that roar, Entei was finally able to move freely again.
Encore failed!
Entei's ability is Inner Focus. This ability not only helps it avoid the flinch condition from moves like Fake Out, but its unshakable mental fortitude also allowed it to break free from restrictive moves like Encore!
"In that case, Milotic, use Hypnosis!!"
Juan immediately changed his strategy.
Milotic coiled its graceful body, its eyes suddenly radiating strange, sleep-inducing waves outwards in concentric circles.
Swish!
But with the Electric Titan's speed, it easily dodged in an instant.
Raising its arms, an electric current burst forth once more!
Thunderbolt!!
"Milotic, use Mirror Coat!!"
Juan gave a low shout, apparently wanting to trade damage for damage again.
"Wuuu~!!"
Beneath a rainbow-colored membrane of energy, it forcibly withstood the terrifying electric current. With a high-pitched cry from Milotic, the Thunderbolt was suddenly reflected back in the form of an energy laser.
But Ash wasn't intimidated in the slightest, shouting his command:
"Block it, Electric Titan! This time, use Thunder!!"
This time, the Electric Titan erupted with golden lightning from its entire body. Boosted by its Transistor ability, it transformed into an incredibly thick pulse of electric current.
BZZZT-BOOM!!
It then collided head-on with the reflected Thunderbolt.
However, the Electric Titan's electrical power was like an endless tide, its power surging wave after wave.
In the end, it pushed right through the Mirror Coat-powered Thunderbolt and forced it back!
The terrifying electricity then completely detonated on Milotic's body!!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Walrein, use Rock Slide!!"
Walrein swung its flippers, and countless rocks immediately fell from the sky, crashing down in a volley.
*Tap, tap...!*
However, Entei's movements were agile. It continuously weaved across the arena, traversing through the gaps in the Rock Slide without taking any damage at all.
As it drew near, it opened its mouth and unleashed a massive blast of blazing flames, which detonated at near point-blank range on Walrein's midsection!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Two violent explosions erupted simultaneously at both ends of the arena!
When the smoke cleared, Milotic was on its last legs, its entire body numb with electric current, teetering on the verge of collapse.
If not for its exceptionally high durability, it would have already fallen.
Walrein was in slightly better condition. Possessing Thick Fat, it had excellent resistance to fire attacks.
But this exchange also caused beads of sweat to stream down Juan's forehead.
Only by truly fighting them did he feel the immense pressure brought by the two god-like Pokémon before him.
And then there was this mysterious trainer before him, with his calm and composed battle commands...
The pressure was no less than when he battled his own protégé, Wallace.
"It's a rare chance to visit this world, so I might as well let them witness true power...!"
Ash had never intended to hold back, and his expression suddenly turned fanatical.
"Electric Titan, use Extreme Speed!!"
The Electric Titan's figure became ghostly, vanishing from its spot and leaving behind an afterimage.
SWOOSH-BANG!!
Before Milotic could even react, it was sent flying, losing its last bit of stamina as its long body crashed to the ground.
Extreme Speed is a god-tier move for finishing off weakened opponents; there's nothing else fancy about it.
As for Entei's side.
"Entei, use Sacred Fire!!"
Ash suddenly bellowed.
This move wasn't just for healing; in battle, it possessed an extremely tyrannical and overwhelming power!
"Awo!"
Entei nodded, took a deep breath, and focused all the energy carrying the will of destruction at its mouth...
But in the end, it dispersed seventy percent of the force, letting out only a medium-sized stream of flame.
Fwoosh!
The golden-white flame flew out lightly, as if it carried no power at all.
Walrein, oblivious to the danger, intended to take the hit head-on while gathering energy for a Bubble attack.
By the time the flame reached it, a sensation that made its very soul tremble finally instilled fear in it...
But at this point, it was already too late to defend.
FWOOM-PFFT...!!
The moment the golden-white flame touched Walrein, it immediately transformed into an inextinguishable golden-white aura, burning endlessly and completely igniting Walrein's massive body.
BOOM! BOOM!!
Finally, it erupted into a massive fiery explosion!
This time, everyone felt a power within it that seemed capable of destroying and incinerating everything, making them shudder.
This was a move imbued with the ultimate power of an ancient deity. It had nothing to do with standard move power; it was fundamentally different from ordinary moves.
Rumble!
Rumble!
At one end of the arena, the figures of Milotic and Walrein simultaneously crashed to the ground, having completely lost their ability to battle.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Entei and the Electric Titan were demonstrating to everyone that the will of a Legendary Pokémon is inviolable!!
And so, amidst waves of thunderous cheers from the crowd, the exhibition match officially came to a close!
"I never thought... I'd lose so completely."
At this scene, Juan was having a bit of an existential crisis.
His state of mind had been on a roller coaster, soaring to a peak only to plunge into the depths. After all that, the result was the same as it had been at the start.
Defeating just one of them would have been a win!
"A pity..."
In the end, Juan could only give a bitter smile and recall his two Pokémon.
He walked forward and presented Ash with his badge, composed of three water droplets.
