Chapter 658: Don't Lose, Poor Boy
Aegislash's blade glowed, then fired a silver-grey beam with a metallic texture!
Steel-type move: Flash Cannon!
Its main purpose wasn't to deal damage, but to blast Carbink out of the range of Diamond Storm!
The power of Diancie's signature move, Diamond Storm, lay not only in its damage but also in its extremely high probability of further strengthening the caster's body hardness, significantly boosting Defense!
The diamonds in the storm were ruthless blades to the enemy, but armor plates to Diancie.
At the center of the storm, the Jewel Princess would become harder and harder as the battle progressed, until the enemy could no longer break through at all.
Of course, that was in an ideal state.
The Diamond Storm inherited by Carbink didn't have the vast range of the original Legendary move, nor were the diamond shards in the storm as dense as the original.
With one Flash Cannon, Aegislash successfully blasted Carbink out of the storm's range before it could apply its armor!
Thus, Carbink failed to complete the diamond coating, and Future Yuzuru's plan fell through again.
As for the storm's damage? Aegislash indicated he could still tank it!
Getting the chance to fight independently on such a big stage for the first time, Aegislash's fighting spirit was exceptionally high, his will as hard as steel!
Even facing a Legendary's ultimate move, he was fearless!
"Charge through the storm! Maintain suppression, then use Iron Head again!"
On the field, under Arthur's continuous commands, Aegislash even suppressed Future Yuzuru's strongest ace, Carbink, for a time!
This left the audience dumbfounded.
"Isn't the effect of this counter-pick Pokémon a bit too good?"
In the final moments, if Carbink hadn't forced Aegislash to crash into the ground and successfully landed two Earth Powers, Future Yuzuru might have carelessly lost her ace.
In the end, both Pokémon hit the ground almost simultaneously, neither able to float up for a long time.
The referee raised the flag—
"Aegislash and Carbink are both unable to battle!"
In this round, both sides surprisingly fought to a draw!
But Arthur only lost a temporarily raised counter-pick Pokémon, while Future Yuzuru lost her strongest ace.
This exchange was a win for Arthur no matter how you looked at it!
The score reached 3-2!
Arthur had obtained the second mid-battle switch authority.
This wasn't good news for Future Yuzuru!
A slight misstep, and the score gap could be widened rapidly in the next few rounds!
In the fifth round, Arthur sent out Greninja.
Both sides revealed their Pokémon simultaneously. As expected, Future Yuzuru chose her last ace: Rotom.
According to arena rules, when Rotom enters the field, the player can bring an appliance for Rotom to possess.
Rotom's true form is just a ball of plasma, a ghost wandering in the power grid, difficult to exist alone.
Without something to possess, Rotom is too weak and powerless.
So the competitive rules specifically note that this Pokémon can bring an appliance into battle, but the specifications, energy consumption, weight, and volume of the appliance must strictly follow restrictions.
However, these obviously couldn't stump Future Yuzuru.
The reason was simple: she had money!
Seeing the multi-functional electric robotic cat appearing on the stage, Arthur's mouth twitched hard.
This thing was visibly high-end!
Match start. He habitually ordered first: "Greninja, Bond Phenomenon!"
Bond Phenomenon without a Mega Stone always brought screams and cheers echoing through the stadium.
Humans often have no resistance to extreme coolness.
"Water Shuriken, attack, cut him!"
No matter what opponent he faced, Greninja would never fear!
Dual blades in hand, he leaned forward, approaching the enemy quickly in a ninja run!
"Rotom, Leaf Storm!"
But the robotic cat opposite was clearly prepared!
Facing Greninja, who had just used a Water-type move and changed his type to Water, the robotic cat possessed by Rotom opened its mouth and roared, instantly summoning a storm of leaves!
So Rotom's type this round is Electric/Grass?
Arthur calculated in his mind, then ordered: "Greninja, use Aerial Ace!"
Using a Flying-type move, borrowing the Protean ability to change into Flying-type to resist the subsequent Grass-type damage.
Arthur's idea was correct.
But unexpectedly, the next moment, the robotic cat's front paws suddenly sprayed a large cloud of ice mist. While pouncing, Future Yuzuru ordered: "Use Blizzard!"
After Grass-type, it was Ice-type!
This...
Arthur raised an eyebrow, realizing the worst had happened!
The boost from money was a bit fierce!
The structure of this robotic cat was obviously far more complex than outsiders imagined!
Within the limits allowed by the arena rules, Future Yuzuru added functions of various types, utilizing technology and wealth to the extreme, providing Rotom with an extremely diverse possession vehicle!
From the start, Arthur realized: in this round, the one who could change types wasn't just his Protean Greninja.
At this time, in the Kubfu player rest area, everyone turned to look at Roman.
"When she fought you in the group stage, Rotom didn't possess this robotic cat, did it?"
Roman shrugged. "Indeed not."
Good grief!
So there's more than one possessed appliance!
Everyone gained a deeper understanding of Future Yuzuru's financial power.
"Is this against the rules?"
"But the rules allow it."
"Sigh..."
Relying on the advantage of the possessed machine, Rotom suppressed Greninja for a time on the field.
Even the usually invincible Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist seemed somewhat ineffective against the specially customized simulated shock-absorbing fur.
"If we lose like this, I'll feel very unreconciled."
Someone sighed first, immediately drawing agreement from many.
Although customizing possession appliances for Rotom was allowed by arena rules, the one on the field right now seemed too exaggerated...
Following Leaf Storm and Blizzard, Rotom soon used Air Slash with its tail and Hydro Pump from its mouth!
This coverage of types was no worse than Greninja's Protean...
At this moment, the robotic cat on the field gradually turned from defense to offense. The rhythm of offense and defense between the two sides was very fast, with blade lights and claw shadows, very exciting.
However, this time, the cheers and applause in the stadium were noticeably fewer than before.
Outside the stadium, not only the Kubfu player rest area, but several other player rest areas around fell silent.
After a long silence, someone suddenly blurted out.
"Don't lose, poor boy from Kubfu."
Although "poor boy" didn't sound like a compliment, the blessing was sincere.
