Chapter 520
Beneath the dome of the Royal Dome Arena, the scoreboard clearly showed 1:0.
The cheers from the audience were deafening.
It wasn't surprising that Xia Chi won the first match.
In fact, Xia Chi's victory was something that most people had expected.
What truly excited the audience was Cattleya's sudden outburst.
Her daring actions in directly controlling Miss Gothia raised the suspense of this first battle from zero to one hundred.
Even though they ultimately fell short by one move and failed to defeat Super Tyranitar.
It was so exciting that it drew cheers and applause from the entire audience.
This made everyone eagerly anticipate what surprises Gadria would bring next.
After all, this 6v6 match has only just begun.
On the battlefield.
Gadria did not show much emotion because of Goth's defeat. She raised her eyes, held up the Poké Ball in her hand, and recalled Goth.
Then, with his other hand, he threw the Poké Ball, and a flash of white light appeared.
Four steel claws were the first to pierce the light.
Then came the blue and silver steel body, hovering half a meter off the ground, with four thick alloy arms slightly spread out behind it.
Beneath the metal mask on his forehead, red optical sensors locked onto Tyranitar. His cold eyes held no emotion, only pure calculation.
The oppressive aura of a near-god level spread out from the center of the arena.
The Metagross didn't roar or threaten; it simply hovered there quietly, its four steel claws opening and closing gently, the metal scraping together with a crisp sound.
Gadria pulled a keystone pendant from her collar, and at the same time, a piece of armor on Metagross's chest slid open, revealing the Metagross Evolution Stone embedded inside, which glowed with a dark purple light.
Super Evolution!
Two beams of light intertwined.
A pale purple psychic flame rose around Gadria, and the Key Stone and Evolution Stone resonated, causing energy chains to leap between the trainer and the Pokémon like lightning.
Metagross's steel body began to transform, its four arms extended outwards, the alloy arms expanded and reassembled, and its original blue-silver shell was covered with a dazzling gold-blue plating.
A huge golden X-shaped pattern appeared on his chest, and the same mark lit up on his forehead, as if some ancient seal had been broken.
The Mega Metagross has arrived!
Four giant arms, like battering rams, hung on either side of the body. Liquid golden light flowed on the metal shell, and the oppressive aura caused the gravel at the edge of the arena to move without wind, rolling away from the arena.
Xia Chi looked down at the Poké Ball in his palm that hadn't yet emitted a red light, then looked at Tyranitar.
Bangilas straightened his back on the pile of rubble.
Its breathing was still heavy, and dark red liquid seeped from its shattered shoulder armor, but its crimson pupils were fixed on the super Metagross monster in mid-air.
There was no fear in his eyes, only an almost stubborn flame.
Xia Chi did not take back Bangiras.
The continuous substitutions require a cooldown period, and Zhenyi's playing time has not yet reached its limit.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Bangiras, I'm counting on you!"
Bangilas roared to the sky, as if responding to Xia Chi's trust.
On its tattered obsidian armor, the pale blue waveguide patterns struggled to light up for a moment before fading away.
The waveguide power was exhausted, but it still had fists, teeth, and bones that refused to fall.
There was no sandstorm to provide cover, and no magic tricks to distort the rules of space.
The two super-evolved pseudo-legendary beings stared at each other across the rubble and ruins fifteen meters apart, with only the echoes of metal rubbing against metal and rocks cracking in the air.
The Mega Metagross made the first move.
Its four giant arms swung backward simultaneously, the magnetic engine emitted a high-frequency hum, and its steel body transformed into a golden and blue afterimage, moving so fast that it left a trail of light on the retinas of all the viewers.
Metagross's upper right forearm arrived first.
Comet Fist!
The steel-based energy was compressed into a dazzling silver ball at the knuckles, emitting a sharp whistling sound as it sliced through the air, like the tail flame of a missile.
Bangilas rolled to the side to dodge, its movements no longer as fluid as when the waveguide was connected. Its massive body staggered on the rubble, the rubble piercing its wounds, causing its pupils to shrink in pain.
The comet fist grazed its carapace, and the silver orb of light crashed into the ground.
Then it suddenly exploded!
boom-
Gravel and metal fragments flew like shotgun pellets, and Bangilas was thrown sideways by the blast wave, his back hitting the side railing, which creaked and bent into an arc.
"Comet Fist! A graze!"
In the live stream, Qi Shu's passionate commentary came out like a machine gun.
"Metamorphose's ability is Hard Claws, which increases the power of all contact moves by 30%! If this punch lands head-on, Tyranitar might be out of the game!"
Xia Chi unconsciously pressed her right hand against her chest.
Waveguide power... He tried to mobilize the remaining energy, like wringing out the last drop of water from a towel.
A pale blue filament flashed at the fingertip, about to extend towards Bangiras, when it shattered into points of light in mid-air.
Xia Chi's heart sank; his wave power was exhausted.
It all depends on Tyranitar's own will...
Pulling himself back to reality, he shouted, "Sharp Stone Attack!"
Bangilas slammed his fists into the ground.
Rock energy surged from the ground, and seven or eight sharp stone blades burst forth from the soil, fanning out towards the lower body of the Mega Metagross.
But Metagross doesn't even need to dodge.
Its four giant arms slashed downwards simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of comet punches, and silver light bullets rained down on the stone blade.
The explosions were deafening, and the smoke and dust rose more than three meters high.
Cattleya's voice was flat: "Earthquake."
Amidst the smoke and dust, the red optical sensors of the Mega Metagross lit up.
Then, its four giant arms slammed into the ground simultaneously.
Like four battering rams beating a drum at the same time, steel-based energy poured into the earth along the alloy arm. The rocky ground cracked open with a three-meter-wide abyss-like fissure, and the shockwave spread in a ring, causing the rubble to be thrown half a meter off the ground!
Bangiras tried to jump away, but his left leg was grazed by the previous Comet Punch, which slowed his movements. The shockwave from the earthquake surged up from his feet and traveled up his bones.
Bangilas let out a muffled roar, his rocky body was thrown two meters into the air, and then crashed heavily back to the ground.
Three new through cracks have appeared on the obsidian armor, running from the chest down to the tailbone.
"Iron Wall".
Cattleya's voice seemed to drift from a great distance.
The Mega Metagross's four massive arms were crossed in front of it, and its metallic shell gleamed with a silvery-white, enhanced luster, as if it were coated with liquid mercury.
Its physical defense level is constantly increasing, and its already indestructible steel body is now more like a mobile fortress.
Xia Chi frowned.
He understood Cattleya's intentions.
The current Mega Metagross has a huge advantage; it doesn't need to do anything, it just needs to wait for Tyranitar to charge in and attack, and then counterattack.
But the more this is the case, the less Xia Chi can afford to be conservative.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
Now, with the momentum from defeating Lady Gothia, it's the perfect time to take down Mega Metagross.
Moreover, although this super Metagross is strong, it doesn't have the "humanoid cheat code" that Gadria had before, unlike the Gothic Lady.
so...
"Bangilas, a massive crash!"
At this moment, no fancy skills are needed, just fearless charging!
Bangiras understood Xia Chi's thoughts at that moment.
Dragging its broken armor and mangled body, it charged step by step toward the Super Metagross!
A hint of surprise flashed in Gadria's purple eyes.
She hadn't expected Xia Chi's way of breaking the deadlock to be so simple and brutal.
Since that's the case...
"Comet Fist".
A head-on collision?
Who's afraid of who!
The Mega Metagross spread its four giant arms at the same time, its Comet Fist charged to its limit, and four silver orbs of light shone brightly.
Then, the two super pseudo-gods, whose size and weight were terrifyingly outrageous, collided violently!
Buzz—
At the moment rock and steel collide head-on, a deep, resonant sound that sends shivers down one's spine resounds.
Fragments of Tyranitar's shoulder armor and metal shards from Mega Metagross flew together, like a shower of gold and silver meteorites.
The shockwave blew away all the gravel at the edge of the site, revealing the cracked concrete foundation underneath.
In the live stream, Qi Shu's voice had already gone hoarse.
"A massive slam! Tyranitar used its entire weight to crash into the heavily armored Mega Metagross! That's like hitting a tank with your bare body!!"
My ears are going to go deaf...
[Sparks! Golden sparks! This match was amazing!!]
[Rem's armor is completely shattered—but she didn't back down...]
This is true masculine romance! Dipped in soybeans! So refreshing!
Bangilas did not retreat.
Its right shoulder armor was completely shattered, but it managed to bite down on one of the Mega Metagross's forearms.
Bite it up!
Dark energy seeped in through the gaps in the teeth, and black waves of evil eroded inward along the steel joints.
Mega Metagross raised its other giant arm and slammed its Comet Punch down toward Tyranitar's side.
"Thunder Fang!"
Xia Chi's voice and Bangiras's movements were synchronized.
Tyranitar released its jaws and turned its head, snapping its upper and lower jaws together in one fluid motion, as lightning spread wildly along the arm of the Mega Metagross!
Comet Punch was interfered with by electrical interference at the last moment, its trajectory deviated by three inches, and it crashed into the open ground behind Bangiras, creating a crater with a diameter of two meters.
Cattleya tilted her head slightly.
Her mental strength was still recovering, and she couldn't "take over" the game, but she still didn't want to lose.
"Cannon beam".
The X-shaped golden markings on the chest of the Mega Metagross lit up, and energy flowed rapidly within the markings, converging at the metal emitter at its mouth.
The white light went from thin to thick, from warm to scorching, and reached its critical point in less than a second.
Then, it burst forth!
The beam of light was half a meter in diameter, and the air in its path was ionized into a pale purple color. The pebbles on the ground vaporized the moment they came into contact with the edge of the light.
Bangilas tried to dodge, but the injury to his left leg slowed his movements by half a beat.
The beam of light grazed its right rib, and the rock armor melted and peeled away like a candle, revealing the charred muscle tissue underneath.
The impact propelled Bangila backward seven or eight meters, its claws carving a deep trench in the ground before it finally came to a stop.
It was on its right knee, barely supporting itself with its left knee, breathing like a broken bellows, each breath carrying rock dust.
The rocky body creaked and groaned like a rusty machine, but Bangiras managed to lift his several-ton body back into an upright position.
On the tattered obsidian armor, the last wisp of pale blue waveguide light flickered. It wasn't a connection, but a resonance imprint left deep within the cells after the waveguides merged.
Xia Chi's lips twitched upwards. "Let's go."
The Mega Metagross had all four of its giant arms outstretched, and golden and blue light flowed across its entire body, making it look like a steel statue about to unleash divine punishment.
Gadriya raised her right hand, the keystone spinning at her fingertips: "Comet Fist, full power."
Four comets lit up simultaneously, shimmering with a power that seemed capable of destroying the world.
Tyranitar's feet carved a shallow crater in the rubble, and with its last strength, it transformed its tattered armor into a primal battering ram, crashing straight into the core of the Mega Metagross.
Ultimate Impact!
The Mega Metagross simultaneously brought its four massive arms to its front, and golden and blue energy poured in like a waterfall, converging and compressing between its four fists.
Comet Fist was pushed to the fourth level of power beyond its limit, and the four silver orbs merged into a giant metal energy ball with a diameter of nearly two meters.
This is the ultimate burst of steel-based energy!
boom-!!
Two terrifying, world-destroying energies collided in the very center of the arena, forming a rotating chaotic sphere. Inside was a force field capable of tearing everything apart, and outside were ripples that distorted light.
The glass dome of the Royal Dome groaned under this surge of energy, cracks spreading outwards from the center like a spiderweb.
The shockwave exploded in a ring, tearing the protective barriers of the venue to shreds like paper, and the hair of the front-row spectators was blown wildly backward by the blast wave.
The energy sphere expanded to its limit, and then suddenly collapsed inward.
A mushroom cloud of smoke and dust shot into the sky, seemingly trying to break through the horizon.
A crater eight meters in diameter appeared in the center of the site.
At the edge of the giant crater, Super Tyranitar lay on his back, his obsidian armor no longer recognizable as its original shape.
On the other side of the pit, all four of the Mega Metagross's giant arms were twisted and deformed, the golden X-shaped markings on its chest were broken into three pieces, and the gold and blue plating had been completely peeled off, revealing its scarred original blue steel body underneath.
Two Mega-Evolved pseudo-legendary Pokémon have simultaneously lost their ability to battle!
Hala stood at the edge of the referee's platform, the flag in his hand trembling like a leaf in the wind.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out the first time. Only on the second try did he shout with all his might, "Mega Tyranitar, unable to battle! Mega Metagross, unable to battle!"
The entire room was silent for a full three seconds.
Then applause suddenly erupted.
The Poké Ball vibrated violently in Xia Chi's palm for a moment, then returned to calm.
Bangilas was asleep inside.
On the other side, Gadria also recalled Mega Metagross.
Her movements were even gentler than Xia Chi's; her fingers lingered on the Poké Ball's shell for a second, as if checking the heartbeat inside.
Then she stood up and put the Poké Ball into the buckle on her waist.
The two faced each other across the battlefield.
Hala raised his banner high, his voice regaining the robust strength of the Island King: "Both sides' second Pokémon have simultaneously lost their battle ability, the battle continues!"
One by one, the lights on the site came back on, illuminating the crater in a stark white and solemn light.
Then, Xia Chi and Gadria threw their next Poké Balls almost simultaneously!
