Pokémon Devil King

Chapter 368, Item 5

The next moment, a powerful water cannon shot out from its mouth!

The water cannon, condensed to a tangible form, blasted through all the distorted light and shadow and illusions on the entire field.

It hit the Mismagius precisely, which was hiding in the shadows in the corner, conjuring up a "Shadow Ball"!

boom!

After the water cannon was used, a clear wet trail was left in the center of the field.

The nightmare lay at the end of the trail, its eyes darting around.

Combat duration: 6 seconds.

"One move?!"

In the audience, someone spilled their popcorn all over the floor.

"Didn't you notice? Every time that Sluggish Beast attacks, the water flow is incredibly solid, with almost not a single drop wasted..."

finals.

The opponent is Sachiko, the coordinator who specializes in Grass-type moves.

Sachiko stood opposite, her face pale, but the fighting spirit in her eyes burned to its peak.

She took a deep breath: "Miss Jiuji, I know there is a huge gap in strength... but please let me fight with all my might!"

Jiuji nodded slightly.

"please."

Roseredo, Flowers!

Roserade's bouquet suddenly bloomed, and countless leaves, petals, and vines were given life, bursting forth wildly from the ground!

A knotted grass can turn into a deadly trap.

Magic leaves wove together to form a rain of emerald green arrows.

The poisonous caltrops emitted a faint glow in a corner unnoticed by anyone.

The radiance of the green grass flows across the ground, giving all the plants a stronger vitality.

In the blink of an eye, half of the venue has been transformed into a vibrant yet deadly plant kingdom!

"Stunned." Staring blankly at the scene before her, she blinked.

"Blizzard," Jiuji ordered softly.

Daidai slowly raised its paws and clasped them together in front of its chest.

The next moment, an absolute cold wave erupted from it!

The blizzard was no longer just falling snowflakes, but transformed into a vast, white, raging torrent that swept towards the plant kingdom!

Ice and grass, extreme cold and vitality, collide head-on!

hiss hiss hiss—

The vines were dried out, frozen, and turned to dust the moment they came into contact with the cold wave.

The fluttering leaves and petals were encased in ice crystals, turning into sparkling works of art, before shattering in the storm.

The poison horn on the ground was completely buried by the thick layer of ice and was no longer a threat.

The brilliance of the grassy field dimmed rapidly in the absolute cold and eventually went out.

ten seconds.

Just ten seconds.

Roseredo's painstakingly constructed plant kingdom has been transformed into a desolate, ice-sculpted jungle.

Then, amidst the continuous wind and snow, it completely collapsed into a ground covered in glittering ice shards.

Roseradore stood in the center of the cold ruins, her bouquet drooping, her whole body covered in a thin layer of ice, shivering.

Dumbly lowered its paws, and the blizzard stopped.

"Roseredo is unable to battle! The victors are—the Nine Era contestants and Slowbro!"

"Congratulations to contestant Jiuji for winning the Green Ridge Grand Contest!"

"This is also the fifth ribbon medal for contestant Jiuji! Let's congratulate her and look forward to her wonderful performance at the grand celebration!"

The applause was thunderous.

Jiuji took the ribbon medal adorned with wave and star patterns from the host, Vivian, and gently placed it into the badge box.

Five ribbons are arranged side by side, shining brightly.

The hustle and bustle of the Green Ridge Conference and the fluorescent lights were gently diluted by the moist sea breeze the moment Jiuji stepped out of the venue.

The city of Green Ridge is dimly lit at night.

In the streets and alleys, one can still hear sporadic discussions about the perfect coordinator and the powerful Slowbro.

The whispers drifted away on the evening breeze, eventually merging into the rhythmic sound of the harbor's tides.

Back on the spaceship, the cabin was filled with an atmosphere that was both relaxed and subtly restless.

The Dragonite was positioned by the porthole with the best view.

A claw rests on the belly of a gible shark that is sleeping on its back.

Its amber eyes gazed at the scattered fishing lights in the harbor outside the window, while the tip of its tail lightly tapped the floor intermittently.

Shark smacked its lips in its sleep, its paws unconsciously scratching at Dragonite's scales, and a satisfied "gurgle" came from its throat.

On the other side, the ugly fish has been moved from the training channel to a larger tank in the viewing and resting area.

It was not asleep; it floated in the water, its tail fin occasionally swaying gently.

Seeing Jiuji return, it turned to the side, its black bean-like eyes quietly looking over.

"Wave?"

"Yes, I got it."

Jiuji walked to the water tank, opened the badge box, and showed the brand-new wave and star ribbon.

The ugly fish approached the glass, looked closely for a while, and then exhaled a string of fine bubbles.

It turned around and continued to steadily wag its tail at the simulated flowing reefs in the water.

This is its celebration, and also its training.

Venusaur extended its vines from the living area and handed the warm tree juice and a small dish of spicy cherry blossom snacks to the control panel.

"Dana".

Thanks.

Jiuji sat down, took a sip of juice, and found the sweet and sour flavor with a perfectly balanced stimulating sensation that dispelled the slight fatigue from the continuous battles.

She pulled up all the battle videos of the Green Ridge Tournament that Seven had compiled, and paid special attention to the performance of the four ribbon coordinators in this tournament.

Sachiko's Roseredo has built a plant kingdom with a speed and resilience that far surpasses any data.

If it weren't for the dual advantage of attribute and absolute power, it would be enough to wear down most opponents.

That Ghost-type trainer's Shadow Ball and Spectral Light were perfectly coordinated; if it weren't for Slowpoke's exceptional strength, it would have been a long and drawn-out battle.

As for the other high-ranking players... they each have their own strengths, but their trump cards seem to have been fully revealed.

Jiuji turned off the screen and leaned back in his chair.

The celebration has a larger stage, stronger opponents, and a more complex competition format.

Relying solely on his absolute strength, he might be able to overcome all obstacles, but to reach the top... that's not enough.

Especially given that Robert was already on guard and other top coordinators were bound to have backup plans, this was far from enough.

Her gaze swept across the cabin.

Dragonite.

Its power increased dramatically after evolution, but it and itself are still figuring out the fine control and performance rhythm required for the Grand Contest.

Luna.

His handsome appearance combined with his agile skills makes him a good choice.

Flower.

Yes, that's a good choice. Ms. Sachiko's plant kingdom gave her a lot of inspiration today.

"Seven, retrieve the complete tournament format and procedures for the Hoenn Grand Festival over the past five years, along with tactical analyses of past champions and top eight finishers, and..."

She paused, then tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest.

"Statistics on the actual combat strength of Pokémon participating in competitions over the past five years".

If possible, she would still prefer to crush the competition with sheer strength.

[Analyzing and compiling statistics... to be sent to email in 10 minutes...]

"Qiu~"

In her arms, Pichu stirred, opened its eyes groggily, saw that it was her, rubbed its little head against her wrist, and then closed its eyes again with peace of mind.

Jiuji carefully placed it into its special little nest, which was covered with soft cushions, and covered it with a corner of a plush blanket.

When I got up, I found that Daidai had moved to the viewing tank and was staring at the Ugly Fish inside.
