Chapter 536
Tapu Moo's tactical intentions are very clear.
It doesn't need to rush in; it just needs to stand firmly on the grassy field and counterattack with wooden horns and seed bombs, letting the grassy field's healing effect gradually wear down all the damage.
"Wood horn."
Dr. Kukui gave another order.
Capu launched a second charge.
This time, the emerald green energy blade was more solid than before.
It draws more grass-type energy away from the grassy field, and the length of the light blade extends almost twice from the tip of the horn.
Its massive body swept sideways, and the light blades on its wooden horns slashed horizontally like an emerald scythe wielded by a giant.
Bictini dodged backward, but the wooden horn was faster than expected.
The blade of light grazed its left shoulder, and Victini's small body was thrown into the air by the impact, tumbling twice before crashing heavily onto the rocky ground several meters away. A light green energy burn mark was left on the white fur on its left shoulder.
Bictini gritted her teeth, braced herself with her little paws, and wobbled to her feet.
Xia Chi shouted in a deep voice: "V Heat Flame".
Dr. Kukui's expression changed drastically.
He certainly knew what this move meant.
V-Blaze is one of the most powerful fire-attribute moves, a legendary flame technique that condenses all the fire energy in the body into a destructive V-shaped shockwave.
Fire-type moves are twice as effective against Grass-type moves. V-Blast has the highest base power among all Fire-type moves. When combined, if it hits completely, it can severely damage Tapu Bulu.
He immediately responded: "Hold on!"
Dr. Kukui's mind raced as he calculated that while V-Blast was extremely powerful, it also had the side effect of "reducing his own defense and speed after use."
Every time Victini uses its abilities, it is overdrawing its defense and mobility. Each use reduces its speed by one level, and after two uses, its body becomes so fragile that even a seed bomb could take it out.
If Tapu Bulu can hold out, Victini, which has been unable to break through for a long time, will reveal more weaknesses.
After all, that was just a Victini.
Although the Victory Star's aura is dazzling, its strength is not outstanding among Xia Chi's many Pokémon.
The hardcore combat power of legendary Pokémon like Magic Masked Meow and Martial Arts Urshifu, which can continuously attack in legendary battles, is not something that every legendary Pokémon can replicate.
He didn't underestimate Victini like the spectators did, but he couldn't help but downplay its strength in his own eyes.
The barrier is generated instantly.
The pale green light membrane rapidly unfolded around Tapu Moo Moo, with countless hexagonal light grids rotating at high speed on its surface, expanding the defensive area to a extent sufficient to cover its entire massive body.
The next instant, Victini was enveloped in an unprecedented orange-red light.
V-Flame!
The terrifyingly high-temperature flames condensed into a massive V-shaped shockwave of fire.
When the V-shaped wings are spread out, their width is completely comparable to that of Tapu Moo Moo's body, like a pair of ignited phoenix wings suddenly opening in front of Victini.
The flame at the core of the V-shape transitions in color from orange-red to golden yellow, and then from golden yellow to a near-incandescent, dazzling core.
The temperature was so high that even the spectators on the sidelines could feel a scorching wave rushing towards them through the energy barrier that covered the entire battlefield.
In the game, this move deals a whopping 180 damage.
In reality, the V-Flame's stats are no lower than those in the game.
The flaming V-shape, like a scorching judgment hurled by the gods, slammed solidly into the protective barrier in front of Tapu Moo-Eyes.
The hexagonal light grid on the barrier surface began to vibrate wildly the moment it came into contact with the barrier.
The light grids rotated so fast that they emitted a sharp buzzing sound, each grid desperately trying to share the terrifying heat of the V-flame.
However, the energy density of the V-shaped flames was simply too high. After holding out for a mere two seconds, the barrier finally shattered under the immense pressure.
The crack spreads from the center outwards across the entire surface of the light film.
Then, the entire protective barrier shattered with a deafening roar.
The remaining V-fire pierced through the barrier fragments and struck Tapu Boom's chest, where the carapace had already been scorched multiple times, completely penetrating the charred crack.
Tapu let out a deep, painful roar as his massive body was blasted away by the impact, crashing heavily onto the rocky ground more than ten meters away, creating a dent half a meter deep.
Dr. Kukui was startled.
He suddenly realized that he had misjudged something.
Bictini's output seems to be much stronger than I expected.
It's not "slightly stronger," but "completely on different levels."
In legendary battles, the Barrier can usually reliably block at least one full-force attack from an opponent of the same level, but V-Blazing broke through it in less than three seconds, and also severely injured Tapu Bulu.
This output capability can no longer be explained by the term "mascot".
Meanwhile, the chat in the live stream was filled with amazement.
[Holy crap! Even Protector couldn't stop V-Blaze? A V-shaped flame burned through Protector's light barrier and blasted Tapu Boom away in the process? When did Victini become this strong?]
[Come on, it's a legendary Pokémon, okay? You're acting like you just found out. Just because Xia Chi carries it on his shoulder like a baby doesn't mean you guys really treat it like a baby.]
That's what they say... but who can connect this little gadget with that V-shaped flame from earlier?!
The pinker the appearance, the fiercer the fight—isn't that a tradition of the Prison Water Squad? Magic Masked Cat is also a cute, emerald-green cat, but when it comes to fighting, it's more ruthless than anyone else. Victini is just inheriting this glorious tradition~
[Meow, my meow, hehehe~]
[Tapu Moo: I don't know if I can hold on!]
In fact, the terrifying power that this V-Blazing Flame could unleash was certainly related to Victini's own formidable strength.
After all, the unique synergy of "Victory Star" allows it to share the experience gained by all teammates.
The combat experience gained from each Ultimate Beast defeated by the companions in the God Wars flows into Victini's body like a gentle stream through the bond of the Star of Victory.
While its teammates were fighting valiantly on the battlefield, it was also growing silently.
The system panel level has now reached level 70, quietly surpassing Meowha and Fajie, and firmly establishing itself in the first tier besides Reshiram and Milton.
This level isn't top-tier among legendary Pokémon, but for an unassuming "mascot," it's enough to make any opponent who underestimates it pay the price.
However, besides the level, what's more important is Victini's other bond.
Fire attribute synergy.
Each attack inflicts a burning effect, dealing 10% of the target's current health as damage and reducing the target's healing received by 33%.
This effect might just be an extra cost when facing ordinary Pokémon, but it's a hard counter to legendary Pokémon like Tapu Bulbasaur, which has high HP, high recovery, and high defense.
The stronger its vitality, the higher the damage from the burn effect based on that percentage of current health.
The stronger its grass field restoration effect, the less effective its remaining restoration power becomes after being weakened by one-third.
With a series of combined attacks, Tapu Moo's most prized ability of sustain was repeatedly punctured by the Fire attribute synergy.
Each round of burning weakened its originally impenetrable defenses.
As soon as the V-flame was fired, Victini paused briefly before immediately beginning to condense a second V-flame.
Xia Chi didn't even need to issue any commands.
The little guy's sapphire-blue eyes burned with a determination that was completely at odds with its cute appearance.
It knew that the side effects of V-Flame would reduce its defenses and speed, but it also knew that Tapu Bulu was currently in its weakest and most vulnerable state after being blasted away.
We cannot give our opponents a chance to breathe, and we cannot allow the grassy field time to recover.
"Tini!"
Judging from the expression on its cute little face, it's clear that the two consecutive V-shaped flames were quite strenuous for this "Victory Star," which is said to have unlimited energy.
When the second V-flame condensed, the orange-red energy halo around it was noticeably more unstable than the first time.
But Tapu Moo Moo is in a more difficult position.
Even though it is a legendary spirit, and even though the heritage of the Alola islands' guardian deity has continued for thousands of years, it is still made of flesh and blood.
After enduring the aftershocks of the first wave of V-shaped flames that pierced through its defenses, the repeatedly scorched carapace on its chest cracked open, revealing deep charred marks that exposed the bone.
Having just been knocked to the ground by the V-Blazing Flame, his body had not yet recovered from the shock of the impact, and his limbs were still struggling on the ground, searching for a foothold, with no room for dodging or defense.
Dr. Kukui could only grit his teeth and gamble, declaring, "Hold on!"
While holding firm on consecutive defenses is easy to fail, what if you manage to do it?
If the second defense is successfully secured, Victini's V-Flame will reduce its defenses and speed by 0.
Now is the perfect time for Tapu Bulu to strike back!
Unfortunately, this "what if" didn't happen to Tapu Bulu.
The protective light membrane barely condensed in front of it, but before the second wave of V-shaped heat could hit, it shattered.
Immediately, the V-shaped flame roared in like the blazing wings of death!
boom-
An unprecedentedly terrifying explosion suddenly rang out.
Tapu Moo's figure was completely engulfed by the flames.
The orange-red flames completely enveloped its massive, mountain-like silhouette, and viewers could only see its slowly collapsing form through the edges of the flames.
After the flames subsided, its body slowly collapsed, and the emerald light on its giant horns completely went out.
The restorative light waves from the grassy field are still futilely trying to repair its wounds, but it can no longer receive them.
Acerola, who was already used to her Alola Guardian being beaten up, blew her whistle expressionlessly and announced the result.
"Tapu MooMoo is unable to fight. The winner is Victini!"
On the giant screen above the Royal Dome Arena, the score instantly jumped to 3-0!
In the third battle, all three Tapu Guardians appeared and were defeated!
But the Alola audience at the scene didn't show any signs of frustration at all.
They were completely captivated by Bictini and gave it the warmest applause without reservation.
It's a miracle that such a petite body can unleash such enormous energy.
Dr. Kukui's defeat is a foregone conclusion, and the Alola champion's journey in the Masters 10 has come to an end.
But Alora's viewers weren't dissatisfied.
After all, their opponent is Xia Chi.
Moreover, most of them are aware of this as well.
The glory of reaching the semi-finals was brought by the guardians.
To be too harsh would be too inhumane.
On the battlefield, Dr. Kukui showed no sign of frustration.
He straightened his back and looked up at the Arora people who had come to support him in the audience.
Dr. Kukui took a deep breath, his gaze becoming even more resolute.
Although the outcome is predetermined, the process is equally important.
Let Alola's last guardian deity perform a final dance for this grand final battle!
His hand was on his waist, and in the next instant, the Poké Ball flew out of his hand.
The sphere exploded in mid-air, creating a straight golden beam of light that pierced the center of the field like a lightning spear.
Tapu Koko, here we come!
It hovered two meters above the ground, its four metal wings on its crown slowly rotating, each rotation scattering fine golden electric sparks outwards.
As the electrical debris fell onto the surface of the arena, the entire battlefield was quickly enveloped by a blazing golden dome.
Features, electrical maker, activate!
After a moment of suffocation, the audience erupted into a tsunami of cheers.
The guardian deity of Melemele Island, the leader of the Alola Four Gods, and Dr. Kukui's strongest trump card.
Even in this desperate situation, it will fight for Alola!
"Tapioca!!"
"Guardian Angel! Guardian Angel!"
The cheers from the audience nearly lifted the dome of the Royal Dome Arena.
Xia Chi stood on the contestant's platform, looking up at the dazzling golden light source in mid-air.
He reached out and took a Poké Ball from his side.
The sound of the sphere opening was very soft, a stark contrast to the earth-shattering sound of Tapu Koko's entrance.
A black figure landed in the center of the arena, slightly bending his knees to absorb the force of his fall, and then slowly stood up, exuding a silent sense of oppression.
Martial Arts Bear Master - One-Strike Style, here he comes!
[It's here! Master Bear versus Tapu Koko!!]
The guardian deity of Melody Island has finally made its appearance!
Holy crap, this electric field effect is blinding! My screen is practically white with its light!
[Master Xiong appears in a one-hit-kill style, which is quite rare.]
[Nonsense, Tapu Koko is an Electric/Fairy type, are you expecting me to use a Water-type combo attack against it?]
[Isn't that one-hit-kill fighting style, plus the fact that it's four times weaker to fairies, even worse?]
[Tree Baby, analyze this quickly!]
"As expected of Master Xiong, the attribute matchup is a bit unfavorable..."
'
Kiju analyzed, "We all know that Tapu Koko's type is Electric and Fairy, while Urshifu's type is Fighting and Dark. Urshifu's two STAB moves in its one-hit-kill form will be resisted by Tapu Koko."
She paused, her eyes narrowing to slits. "Hmm... I was wondering, given that Professor Kukui's next Pokémon was definitely Tapu Koko, was there some deeper meaning behind Mizuya-sensei's decision to send out Urshifu? Could it be...?"
Qishu thought of something, but didn't say it.
