Chương 57: Chapter 57: Double Semi-Legends
The moon goes through phases, just as competitions have victories and defeats.
In the final moments of Halloween, the grand finale of the Halloween Sun and Moon Cup Newcomer Challenge was about to commence!
As the protagonists of this competition and one of the stars of the Halloween celebration, Ryoma and Yuto made a grand entrance.
"What the heck! Why do we have to dress as the demon king while they get to be knights, acting all high and mighty? This is just too much!" Yuto shouted in frustration as he looked at his demon king outfit backstage.
Frustration aside, when the event host announced their entrance, Yuto straightened his demon king costume and struck a pose as he made his way onto the stage!
Across from them, Taka and Haruki, dressed as knights, were already waiting, turning their Poké Balls in their hands.
"Please send out your Pokémon, prepare for battle!"
"In a 2v2 double battle, each trainer will use one Pokémon. The match ends when one side's two Pokémon are unable to continue battling!"
The referee, dressed in formal attire, made a grand entrance, waving his staff symbolically as he began to announce the match rules.
With the referee's command, the four main characters of this match took the stage, provoking a wave of enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
"Charmeleon, show the opposing team the wrath of the demon king!"
Yuto got into character, and as the referee announced the competition's start, he immediately issued an unusual command to Charmeleon to fight.
Charmeleon, being quite spirited, understood its master's strange command and unleashed a blaze of scorching flames aimed directly at the floating Metang!
"Fly up and dodge!"
Facing the oncoming flames, Metang quickly took to the air, easily evading the attack.
"Dammit, how can that thing fly again?!"
Seeing Metang hovering in the air, Yuto's expression darkened while Charmeleon also showed signs of frustration, clearly unsettled by these flying opponents.
"Shelgon, firepower suppression!"
Haruki, seeing his partner toy with Charmeleon, couldn't help but smile slightly and issued his command with a relaxed demeanor.
Shelgon let out a low cry and unleashed a Dragon Breath, its target being none other than Sandshrew!
"Gyro Ball, defend!"
Ryoma quickly ordered Sandshrew to block the attack thoroughly; if it were hit by Dragon Breath's paralysis effect, things would become very troublesome.
"To think it could use Gyro Ball to perfectly defend against Dragon Breath; well done."
"Now, let's try this move, Ember!"
At Haruki's command, Shelgon exhaled several bursts of flames, sending them soaring towards Sandshrew.
"Is it using Ember instead of Flamethrower?"
"It seems he wants me to continue using Gyro Ball and, with the pull, have Ember stick to the Gyro Ball, creating a flame vortex effect that continuously damages Sandshrew?"
Ryoma's eyes narrowed slightly. He had previously seen Shelgon use Flamethrower in earlier matches, so when it switched to Ember, he quickly deduced a possible reason for the change and quietly sighed.
These two trainers, both with semi-legendary Pokémon, clearly came from impressive backgrounds, likely related to a major organization involved in Secret Realm explorations.
Anyone trained by such a large organization would not be easy to deal with!
"Sandshrew, don't defend! Use Sand Attack to block it!"
Thinking this, Ryoma quickly commanded Sandshrew to use Sand Attack.
Upon hearing Ryoma's command, a hint of appreciation appeared in Haruki's eyes. If Ryoma fell for such a simple trap, he would be quite disappointed!
"It seems that long-range moves won't pose much of a threat to you, so let's have Shelgon use Dragon Dance!"
In the next moment, to Ryoma's astonishment, an overwhelmingly terrifying aura radiated from Shelgon, surrounding it with Dragon-type energy that felt almost tangible!
"Sandshrew, use Rapid Spin! We can't let them complete their enhancement!"
Seeing the Dragon-type energy rising around the opponent, Sandshrew quickly approached in an attempt to break the buildup.
Ryoma's expression turned serious; he never expected the opponent to have Dragon Dance hidden up their sleeve. It's important to note that this move cannot be learned by Shelgon through normal means.
To learn Dragon Dance, Shelgon must rely on inheritance!
Clearly, Haruki's Shelgon is of exceptionally high potential!
"Is it even using Dragon Dance now?"
"It seems that Haruki intends to end this quickly!"
"Then I can't fall behind either! Metang, use Psychic!"
Metang, soaring through the air, turned and avoided Charmeleon's Flamethrower. Then, its eyes glowed as it fired a powerful psychic beam!
"Charmeleon, dodge it!"
At this moment, Charmeleon had just used Flamethrower and couldn't gather energy for another one, so it had no choice but to evade.
Boom!
With a loud roar, Charmeleon successfully dodged the attack with its strong physical capabilities, but the energy explosion on the ground created a violent energy storm, sending Charmeleon whirling away!
"Damn it!"
Yuto's face was filled with frustration. Although they held the advantage in type, the opponents' ability to fly made them slippery like an eel, making it impossible to land a hit!
"Hehehe!"
Metang soared in the air, emitting a taunting laugh, which made Charmeleon seethe with rage. It fired Flamethrower repeatedly but could still do nothing to the opponent!
Boom!
Meanwhile, Sandshrew managed to execute Rapid Spin and struck Shelgon, but Shelgon's defense was too strong, absorbing the attack while its Dragon energy continued to roll and strengthen!
"Use Scratch!"
Sandshrew stopped the Rapid Spin, its small claws shimmering coldly as it launched a frenzied attack on Shelgon.
"Use Headbutt!"
Bearing the brunt of Sandshrew's attack, Shelgon completed its Dragon Dance enhancement. A flash of white light emanated from its head as it charged straight at Sandshrew!
The impact of claws and head collided heavily, and then Sandshrew's body was sent flying!
Facing Shelgon, which had completed its Dragon Dance enhancement, Sandshrew simply could not hold its ground!
"Sandshrew, use Rollout!"
"You want to rely on Rollout to enhance your attack? Then we'll keep using Dragon Dance!"
Shelgon's formidable defense combined with its Dragon Dance-enhanced strategy was truly a nemesis for Sandshrew, leaving Ryoma feeling utterly helpless.
He had no choice but to turn his attention to the other battlefield, where Charmeleon was undoubtedly being pressured by Metang!
