Pokémon Heart Journey

Chapter 283: Fierce Battle (6)

"Evolved...?!"

Sundae immediately realized the source of the light, and the expression on his face gradually changed from shock to taking it for granted.

"You really won't let us take you down so easily, huh?" He looked up at Xiaozhi, who was already showing a confident look, and smiled. "As expected of Xiaozhi, right?"

In the beam of light, the forest lizard's body grew taller, the leaves on its tail began to grow wildly, and golden balls grew on its back.

When the light shattered, the Lizard King opened his eyes, and his amber vertical pupils were like two unsheathed swords.

"just--!!"

It supported itself with one hand and slowly rose to its feet. The newly born blade on its left arm flickered out with a clang, a cold light radiating from it.

Sundae narrowed his eyes, a serious look on his face.

"Desert dragonfly, dragon swoop!"

The blue-purple dragon flame ignited for the third time, and the desert dragonfly's dive trajectory was almost perpendicular to the ground, and the sonic boom tore through the night sky.

The Lizard King raised his head, stepped back with his right foot, and crouched down like a fully drawn bow.

"Dragon Claw!" Xiaozhi's voice cut through the wind pressure.

boom! !

The violet dragon flames and emerald claws collided once again, sending a circular shockwave that turned the glass-like ground into a rain of shattered glass. The Lizard King's feet plowed two ten-meter cracks before halting its retreat; the Desert Dragonfly was hurled high into the air by the recoil.

Xiaozhi took advantage of the situation and clenched his fist: "Lightning flash!"

The Lizard King leaned forward, white light bursting from the soles of his feet, transforming into a streak of emerald green lightning as he charged towards the ground. The Desert Dragonfly had barely steadied itself when it saw its opponent approaching its abdomen, and its pupils constricted.

"Dragon Tail!" Sundae shouted urgently.

The Desert Dragonfly twisted its waist violently, dragon energy wrapped around its tail, slashing down from above. But the Lizard King suddenly stopped in his tracks at lightning speed, his heels skittering in a shower of sparks as his tail brushed the tip of his nose and slammed into the ground, sending up a shower of gravel.

"Not only have I learned new tricks, but all my attributes have also been greatly improved," Sundae gritted his teeth and began to think of countermeasures in his mind.

But she obviously didn't have that time. Before the dust settled, Xiaozhi's roar arrived: "Blade Leaf!"

The Lizard King crossed his arms, and the leaf blades suddenly expanded into emerald blades. Two crescent-shaped blade lights pierced the air in an "X" shape. The desert dragonfly had just pulled out its dragon tail when the blade light reached its chest and abdomen.

puff!

A bloody mist exploded, sending dragon scale fragments flying everywhere. The desert dragonfly roared in pain, its body thrown backwards and slamming heavily onto the ground, sliding several meters before coming to a stop.

The audience erupted in exclamations. The commentator shouted hoarsely, "The Heavenly King-level Desert Dragonfly has been completely suppressed! This is the evolved Lizard King!"

Sundae's eyes darkened. "Take off, maximum altitude! Air Slash!"

The desert dragonfly flapped its wings and soared, blood dripping from its wounds. It quickly gathered two massive air blades in the air, swooping down with a whistling slash. The air pressed against the blades whistled, powerful enough to shatter the bedrock.

"See through!" Xiaozhi growled.

The Lizard King's amber pupils narrowed, and the world shifted into slow motion. It stepped back an inch with its right foot—

scoff!

The first air slash passed by the shoulder, cutting a bloody wound; the second slash went towards the waist and abdomen, but the Lizard King suddenly lowered his head and raised the blade with his backhand.

"boom!"

The air was shattered by the blade and exploded into scattered airflows.

Sundae didn't give it a break: "Flame Fang!"

The desert dragonfly swooped down, its fire-attributed fangs igniting the night like a flaming meteor. The Lizard King's left arm dangled at his side, but he slowly arched his back, gathering strength.

Xiaozhi's voice was hoarse but firm: "Blade Leaf, meet the attack head-on!"

boom! !

The flaming fangs collided with the blades, unleashing a blazing white fireball. Amidst the shockwave, the Lizard King's feet sank into the ground, the blades pressing against the flaming fangs with a tooth-grinding metallic grinding sound. The firelight illuminated the resolve in its amber pupils.

"Crench!"

The blade suddenly thrust forward, tearing a slit through the Fire Fang. The Lizard King roared, pouring all his strength into his right arm.

boom! !

The blade struck the Desert Dragonfly's jaws, shattering its fangs into a rain of fire. The Desert Dragonfly was toppled over by the immense force, tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

In the dust, a desert dragonfly struggled to rise, its wings trembling. Its chest was charred, large pieces of dragon scales peeled off, and blood stained the sand red.

Sundae gritted his teeth: "Air——"

"A flash of lightning!" Xiaozhi's roar drowned out the sound of the wind.

The Lizard King transformed into an emerald green afterimage, instantly darting in front of the Desert Dragonfly. The Desert Dragonfly's pupils suddenly shrank, and just as it was about to flap its wings, the Lizard King had already passed through the Desert Dragonfly.

The whole place was silent, watching the slowly falling desert dragonfly.

The referee raised the red flag high: "The Desert Dragonfly loses its ability to fight! The Lizard King wins!"

boom--

The applause was like a flash flood. The Lizard King put away his sword, turned around, and walked towards Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi saw this and hurriedly stepped forward with Pikachu to support him.

"How handsome, Lizard King!"

"Pickup!"

The Lizard King nodded slightly to Xiaozhi. With the energy brought by his evolution, he was able to suppress the Desert Dragonfly of the same level. But now that the battle was over, he only felt sore all over and had no extra strength to respond.

Sundae, who had taken back the Desert Dragonfly, also came up and stretched out his hand to Xiaozhi and said, "Congratulations, Xiaozhi, the Forest Lizard has successfully evolved into the Lizard King and has successfully entered the top eight."

Xiaozhi reached out and shook it, "Thank you Sundae", then scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Actually, this time it's all thanks to you."

"I know that," Sundae gave Xiaozhi a kind smile, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart. His body unconsciously wanted to step back, but his hand was held tightly by Sundae.

Sundae opened his lips slightly and said a few words to Xiaozhi, then let go and left the venue, leaving Xiaozhi still a little confused.

Walking in the aisle, Sundae soon saw a group of people waiting for him in front of him.

She walked up and bowed to an old man, then said apologetically: "Sorry, Principal, I still lost."

"No," the principal walked up, patted Sundae's shoulder gently, and said, "You have done very well, Sundae."

"Winning or losing is never the only criterion. Pokémon battles can't be solved by statistics alone. I think you should understand this now. You have taught everyone a good lesson and brought honor to our academy."

The ceiling light in the passage cast a soft glow on the old man's silver hair. He asked Sundae softly, "I heard you've taken over the family affairs. What are your plans next?"

"Yes, Principal, I think I should start taking on some responsibilities," Sundae slowly raised his head, his eyes extremely bright, "But I will not give up Pokémon, and I will not give up on becoming an excellent trainer."

"Next up, my teammates all have games to play, so I have to stay and cheer them on. There's also one other thing I want to do..."

There was no further talk here, but when the principal looked at the other person's bright smile, he knew that what the other person wanted to do was not ordinary.
