Bathed in audience applause, Roy appeared calm on the surface despite being regarded with amazement by everyone, but felt relieved internally.
'Success,' he thought.
Roy hadn't been certain whether Mimikyu could defeat professional Pokemon without using Z-Moves.
Tactical prediction of Heracross as Takeshi Aihara's first deployment.
Ghost and Fairy typing providing absolute suppression over Bug and Fighting types.
Ghost energy foundation enhanced through natural power integration.
Clone Destiny Bond flow tactics.
Decision-making, luck, strength, and skill - all had been indispensable.
By combining various factors, Mimikyu had narrowly achieved victory.
On the opposite side, after silently recalling Heracross, Takeshi Aihara suddenly declared loudly: "I must admit, you're the most talented trainer I've ever encountered. I've seen Henry from your country, and active Psychic Elite members... They absolutely couldn't accomplish this at your stage."
"However..." Takeshi Aihara gripped his second Poke Ball and smiled with excitement.
"Betting on my dignity as a trainer, I will never lose this battle!"
As the words concluded, he threw the Poke Ball high, brilliant light flashing.
What Roy observed was a dark blue Pokemon resembling a humanoid poison dart frog.
Toxicroak - Poison and Fighting dual-typing.
If Heracross had been primarily Fighting with Bug secondary, making it completely vulnerable to Mimikyu, then Toxicroak represented the reverse: primarily Poison with Fighting supplementary.
Being unable to use Fighting moves had minimal impact on its combat effectiveness.
The moment battle commenced, Takeshi Aihara clenched his fist and commanded passionately:
"Sludge Bomb!"
Toxicroak utilized its legs with Bounce technique, demonstrating incredible leaping ability.
It soared above the arena ceiling, achieving an astounding bounce height exceeding 400 meters from ground level.
Immediately, the poison sac in Toxicroak's throat violently churned and surged. It opened its mouth suddenly, spitting enormous quantities of venomous sludge clusters.
The "poison rain" descending from above covered the entire arena.
The two remaining Mimikyu on the field simultaneously extended Shadow Claws, deflecting venom clusters one by one.
However, terrible poisonous gas spread through the air.
When the poison rain ceased, both Mimikyu appeared distorted with their painted disguises deteriorating.
This indicated damage received.
"Poisoned," Roy assessed.
Mimikyu had perfectly defended against direct Sludge Bomb attacks but still suffered airborne poisoning.
This Toxicroak's poison energy mastery was extremely terrifying. If Roy's guess was correct, this Toxicroak's ability should be "Poison Touch."
Meaning any physical contact with opponents could potentially inflict poison status.
Through extensive development of the Poison Touch ability, Toxicroak had enhanced the spreading capability of all poison moves to astonishing levels.
"Poison Jab."
Toxicroak crouched again, performing another incredible leap.
Instantly reaching Mimikyu's position, it thrust forward with venomous claws.
Caught off-guard, Mimikyu could only block with Shadow Claw.
BOOM!
The power confrontation resulted in disadvantage as Mimikyu was knocked backward. Toxicroak didn't pursue the advantage but calmly leaped upward again.
The next moment, another Mimikyu's ghost claw swept across Toxicroak's previous position.
Toxicroak sneered mid-air, suddenly kicking against empty space to create air bursts, causing its body to descend again.
Poison Jab.
The scene repeated: the attacked Mimikyu hastily resisted while another rushed to provide cover.
Toxicroak wasn't a "speed-type" Pokemon, but under Takeshi Aihara's training, it employed peculiar "frog leap" techniques that completely replaced conventional movement methods.
High-powered jumping achieved hypersonic movement.
Every Poison Jab carried tremendous kinetic energy.
Mimikyu couldn't match the opponent's movements at all, managing only blind defense and mutual coverage.
Under high-speed offensive and defensive exchanges, Mimikyu's stamina was heavily consumed. Combined with close-range Poison Jab blocking, increasing toxins infiltrated Mimikyu's system.
Spectators could only perceive a dark blue blurred figure repeatedly bouncing across the arena while emitting terrifying poisonous gases.
Mimikyu's defense grew progressively weaker.
The match outcome seemed determined.
Takeshi Aihara's expression became increasingly excited and anticipatory.
"Come on, stop hiding!"
"Summon that Ninetales who can only use Z-Moves!"
His voice echoed throughout the arena, resonating with the audience.
Current battle held no suspense - perhaps in the next match, they could witness the beautiful Ninetales from videos using legendary Z-Moves.
Hearing this, Roy withdrew his gaze from the battlefield, gripped his baseball cap brim, and rotated it rightward.
"Aihara Takeshi, let me ask you something..."
Instantly, blue-green energy ignited across Roy's entire body, his red jacket fluttering as if blown by powerful winds.
Had Roy not secured his cap brim early, the baseball cap would have been blown away by the energy gusts.
Unknown when, blue-green light began shining in his eyes as he stared directly at his opponent, speaking word by word:
"Since when did you develop the illusion that only Ninetales among my Pokemon could use Z-Moves?"
The Z-Crystal activated, drawing in massive natural power.
Takeshi Aihara's pupils contracted.
Simultaneously, sudden changes occurred on the battlefield.
At the moment Toxicroak charged toward it, Mimikyu suddenly abandoned previous defensive tactics and allowed its opponent's arm to penetrate its body.
Immediately, a black gaze shot from Mimikyu's eyes, striking Toxicroak directly.
Move: Mean Look.
This clone completed its final mission.
Mimikyu's Mean Look wasn't particularly powerful - Toxicroak needed only one second to break free.
But this brief second completely overturned everything.
Horror, eeriness, spite, jealousy... Energy fluctuations filled with powerful negative emotions swept from Mimikyu's body. Even witnesses felt uncontrollable goosebumps as pores opened in fear!
Its small figure became completely enveloped in enormous dark flame energy, appearing possessed by malevolent spirits.
"KAAAAH!"
Mimikyu shrieked loudly, wrapped in terrifying dark flames on its body, rushing toward Toxicroak at high speed and devouring it completely.
"AHHHHHHH!"
Toxicroak's heart and brain trembled.
If Psychic-type Z-Moves were characterized by extreme physical and mental pain, then Ghost-type Z-Moves were characterized by negative emotional torment and soul torture.
Endless negative emotions washed over its mind. Toxicroak suddenly felt its life was meaningless, that it was inferior to a Rattata, and desperately wanted to find somewhere to commit suicide...
This depressed mental state made it completely forget resistance. Its mind went numb as every trace of vitality was consumed by Ghost energy.
"This is the Ghost-type Z-Move," Roy declared slowly.
Never-Ending Nightmare.
The moment his voice concluded, Toxicroak's body crashed to the ground, eyes vacant and lifeless.
Mimikyu achieved another victory, defeating two professional Pokemon consecutively.
At this moment, the audience fell completely silent!
