The intimidation of Officer Jenny and Growlithe could only make these gamblers stay in their seats obediently.
There he kept swearing, cursing and greeting the three generations of the Jimu family.
However, Jimu ignored those guys.
He just stared at his Pokémon Golem.
Logically speaking, Normal's Golem took Nidoking's Brick Break attack head-on.
Even if the Rock on his body is not shattered, he will eventually lose his ability to fight.
But Jimu's Golem...
"Gurgle~~~"
The Golem gasped and stood up from the ground with difficulty.
Judging from the sweat on its forehead and the trembling appearance, it is obvious that it has reached its limit.
But even though he was almost at his limit, he still retained a little bit of physical strength and managed to stand on the field.
Even though he was shaken, he still didn't lose his fighting ability and fell down!!
"Stand up, Golem stands up!!"
The commentator's voice became excited, "Golem relied on its strong will to retain its strength and successfully stood up!!"
"Is this the bond between Trainer and Pokémon?!"
"Did they rely on their mutual bond and willpower to successfully allow the Golem to hold out against the Nidoking's attack?!"
Bonds and willpower... That's weird!!
"That golem should be the ability of [Solid]."
Xiaogang, an expert in Rock Type Pokémon in the stands, saw through the situation at a glance.
[Solid]: Even if attacked by Rival's moves, it will not be knocked down by one hit. One-hit-kill moves will not be effective.
When a Pokémon with this ability is hit by a fatal attack under a Contest Condition with full health, it will retain at least 1 point of health.
And one-hit-kill moves are ineffective against Pokémon with that Ability.
In other words, Nidoking's Brick Break was enough to make Golem lose its ability to fight.
However, it relied on its [Solid] Ability to end a little bit of its health and still stood staggering on the field.
"Golem is still on the field, which means that there will no longer be a situation where both sides suffer losses.
Misty also understood.
If we follow a normal battle, Ash's Nidoking will defeat the Golem.
The game is over now.
Logically speaking, the last effect of [Spell] will not be triggered.
Even if it is triggered, the most that can happen is that both you and the Golem will lose their ability to fight.
But now, Yan survived thanks to his [Solid] Ability.
590 Then what about Nidoking?
"bring it on!!"
Jimu on the opposite side was also staring intently at the Nidoking and its Trainer Ash.
"I've waited so long for this moment!!"
Whether it was the previous [Protect], [Substitute], or even this Golem's Ability, they were all for this moment!!
"Come on, even if your Nidoking can use [Endure], it can't resist the attack from the [Curse] effect!!"
At this moment, Jimu's eyes were filled with crazy anticipation for Nidoking to fall to the ground.
[Endure], this special move is similar to Golem's [Solid] ability.
Keep at least 1 HP before the end of this round. Even if attacked by a one-hit-kill move, you will keep 1 HP.
However, this move cannot prevent damage caused by changes in Status Condition and abnormal effects.
For example, [Frostbite], [Burns], and the like, as well as the damage caused by the second round of attacks from [Spells] and [Future Sight].
All of them cannot be stopped by [Endure].
It can be said that Jimu also took great pains to plot against this Nidoking!
"It's really... difficult for you."
Even Ash couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene in front of him.
He finally made a sound, which made Jimu look up at him.
"It is extremely rare and precious to have such awareness, such planning, such arrangements and such action."
Molek praised and gave a lot of positive comments.
"But unfortunately, the final result still disappoints you..."
Looking at Nidoking's body, a dark purple magic sheen effect gradually began to appear.
Ash just whispered: "Nidoking, use [Rest]."
[Rest]: Sleep for 2 consecutive rounds. Restore all of your physical strength and cure all Status Conditions.
I have to say, [Curse] is a very strange trick.
Whether it is [Protect], [Substitute], or even [Endure], it cannot prevent the use and effectiveness of this move.
Therefore, the solution to this trick is very simple:
If you can't stop it, then don't stop it!
Isn't the effect of this move to consume health points every round?
Then just use the move that restores your health to restore the lost health!!
For example, [Roost], [Regeneration], [Synthesis]... and this one [Rest].
"Nido~"
Nidoking just laughed it off.
Before the effect of the [spell] came, it simply lay on the ground, not caring about the Golem in front of it at all.
He began to sleep soundly on the spot.
At the same time, it is visible to the naked eye that its contest condition and spirit have improved significantly.
At this moment, the Curse effect of [Spell] descended and successfully acted on Nidoking.
In response, Nidoking simply scratched his belly gently in his sleep.
It will not cause any fatal effects or damage to it at all!!
"Sure enough, I knew it..."
After seeing this scene with his own eyes, Jimu closed his eyes in pain.
Since he had chosen [Curse] as his ultimate move, he used it as a skill throughout the entire game.
How is it possible that he doesn't know about the abilities related to [Curse]?!
Of course, he knew that recovery skills like [Rest] had a restraining effect on [Spells].
B...
So what if he knew?!
What other options does Jimu have?
Aside from the ultimate move [Curse], any other attacks cannot harm this Nidoking at all.
Jimu had no other choice but to resort to this trick.
Therefore, the fundamental reason is that the Pokémon in his hand is not as strong as Ash's Pokémon.
If his Golems were truly exceptionally powerful, there would be no need to resort to such methods and practices.
I've already started a head-on fight with Ash, a real fight between real men and real swords.
Who would use such an auxiliary trick to waste their health by standing by and waiting for someone to die?!
"Use [Sleep Talk]."
Ash simply ordered.
[Sleep Talk]: When the user is in a sleep contest condition, or has the ability absolute sleep, he will randomly use 1 other moves he has learned.
The Nidoking on the ground suddenly stood up, and then stomped heavily on the ground.
Ground-type ultimate move, [Bulldoze].
Use Stomp Ground to attack all Pokémon around you, slowing them down.
"Use [Endure]."
Jimu gritted his teeth there.
Now, it was his turn to use the ultimate move [Endure] to protect.
"Gurgle~~~"
The Golem was wheezing there, just like Normal, a blower, breathing heavily.
But I still managed to use [Endure] with great difficulty.
When the constantly shaking power of Ground's special move hit his Rock body.
The Golem just swayed for a moment, then stood firm again.
In addition to the [Strong] ability, it relied on its own [Endure] skill to barely hold on.
And locked down this drop of blood again.
"Continue using Sleep Talk."
Ash doesn't need any other instructions at all.
Nidoking has numerous special moves, and its skill pool is extremely deep, with all kinds of moves and skills of all attributes.
It can basically be used, and it works just like an arm!
"Nido~~"
Nidoking murmured in his sleep.
Then, its entire huge body, swaying but full of power, rushed towards the Golem.
"Keep using Endure!"
Jimu originally wanted Golem to use [Protect].
But looking at Golem's Contest Condition, he even used [Protect] to resist Nidoking's damage.
But if you get knocked out and fall on the Ground, you still won't be able to withstand the damage from the fall.
As a result, they directly lost their combat capability.
Involuntarily, he could only let Golem continue to use [Endure] to waste time.
However, this time~~~
"Your [Endure] is destined to be useless."
Ash said with a smile.
The special move [Endure] is the same as [Protect], the more times you use it, the more likely it is to fail.
Even though Jimu had only used [Endure] for the second time, he should still be able to hold on for a while.
But unfortunately, Ash's Nidoking used the "Torment" in this "Sleep Talk" Contest Condition!!
[Torment], Dark Type's ultimate skill, Rival Torment, prevents it from using the same move twice in a row.
It prevents Rival from using the same move continuously. The effect disappears when Rival leaves the field.
In other words, even if Golem succeeds in using [Endure] this time.
In the next round, it can no longer use this trick!
This skill is very similar to [Disable].
Puts the target into a Disable Contest Condition, during which the target cannot use the last move used before the Disable Contest Condition.
It can be said that the last chance of survival for this Golem was completely blocked by Nidoking.
"It's just a matter of time..."
Seeing Golem being knocked away by Nidoking, the former still used the [Endure] trick to lock in his one drop of health.
Ash just shook his head slightly and whispered there.
When Nidoking wakes up, he will naturally let it use [Torment] to block any special moves such as [Endure] or [Protect] of this Golem.
This will inflict the final fatal blow to it.
"This is the last [Sleep Talk], let's send it on its way."
Ash gave the order while Nidoking was still asleep.
"Ni~do~!"
Nidoking continued to cover his head and rushed towards the Golem in front of him, which was almost shaky and would collapse in the next second.
It raised its hand, and the light of Brick Break's ultimate move was on its raised arm.
So obvious.
Nidoking's final attack of [Sleep Talk] also allowed it to successfully use its ultimate move [Brick Break].
Gary failed to hit the target and ruined his winning move.
This was also the trick that almost got Golem defeated at the beginning!!
At this moment, Nidoking used it to deal the final fatal blow to Golem!
Bang!!!
Nidoking raised his arm and chopped down the Golem without any hindrance!!
Boom~!!
The gravel flew everywhere, and a huge deep hole was smashed out on the ground.
At this moment, inside the huge deep pit.
The Golem's body fell there, and its entire round body was covered with cracks.
It was with Nidoking's move that the entire venue suddenly fell silent.
"It's over..."
It was the commentator's intermittent words coming from the broadcast that brought everyone back to their senses.
At the same time, the referee below could no longer wait and raised the flag in his hand.
"Golem loses its ability to fight, and the multi-king wins!!"
"At this point, all six of Jimu's Pokémon have lost their ability to fight, and the winner is Ash!!"
"The winner of this year's Indigo Plateau Conference finals is..."
Even the referee who had been standing on the field could not hide his excitement at this moment:
"From Pallet Town, Ash!!"
The entire venue, which was originally peaceful as before, became quiet after the referee made this judgment.
"Ohh ...
Instantly, there were extremely intense cheers and celebrations.
The Quartz Sports Arena was like a boiling ocean, with densely packed spectators stacked up there.
Their faces flushed with excitement, the flags and slogans in their hands waved in the wind, and their shouts sounded like a surging wave.
Wave after wave, gathered from all directions, echoing continuously in the sky of the stadium, as if to overturn the entire stadium.
This announcement was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.
The entire Quartz Sports Arena was in an uproar. The audience could no longer contain their excitement and stood up, cheering.
Cheers, shouts and applause intertwined together to form a deafening hymn of victory.
Boom boom boom!!
Colorful ribbons fluttered down from the sky above the stadium like flowers scattered by fairies.
It added a touch of mew and splendor to this wonderful match and Ash's glorious victory.
"Pika Pika!!"
Ash, who was standing in the center of the celebration, slowly lowered his head and saw Pikachu, who was also jumping up and down excitedly, beside him.
It was for Ash's own good pleasure to watch.
"We did it, Pikachu...
Ash chuckled and held Pikachu on his shoulders.
There was some electricity flowing out of Pikachu's body, which was enough to show its excitement at the moment.
Pikachu is not the only one who is equally excited.
"Ash!!"
In the audience, Xiao and Xiaogang were so excited that their faces turned red.
They rushed towards Ash desperately, tears glistening in their eyes.
Misty ran to Ash first, hugged him, and shouted excitedly:
"Ash, you did it! You really did it! You are the best!"
Xiao Gang followed closely behind, patting Ash's shoulder vigorously, with a bright smile on his face, and said:
"Congratulations, Ash! This is the honor you deserve. Your hard work over this period of time has finally paid off!"
Even though both of them knew that there was absolutely no problem for Ash to win the championship.
Even though both of them knew that with Ash's ability, winning the championship was basically a foregone conclusion.
But...this is just the beginning.
When the real championship was taken by Ash, they still couldn't hide their excitement and cheers.
I got close to Ash and cheered for him desperately, congratulations!!
At this moment, the afternoon sun poured down unreservedly, coating the entire battlefield with a layer of dazzling golden glow.
Such light also shone directly on Ash's face, highlighting the bright smile on his face at the moment.
At this time, the flags around the stadium were dancing more happily in the wind, as if they were cheering for his shouting.
Ash, who was tightly surrounded by his friends, also raised his head, stretched out his arms, and gathered Misty and Xiaogang together.
"I won."
He chuckled, but said in a loud voice: "We are the champions!!"
"Pika Pika!!"
"Nido~!!"
On the field, Nidoking, who had fallen into a sleepy Contest Condition, had also woken up amid the cheers.
