Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 804: The Finalists List is Out!

"Mr. Giovanni has undergone Mega Evolution!"

"And A-Du has chosen Taijinghua! Taijinghua's attribute is water!"

The two used enhanced techniques together, igniting the excitement of the audience at the scene and those watching the live stream.

"Mega Evolution VS. Crystallization?!"

"This is the moment that will decide the outcome!"

"Duck rush!"

Awa and Sakaki exchanged a glance.

Actually, when Lance infiltrated Team Rocket, Giovanni had already shown considerable admiration for him. Now, the two have actually met in the arena and are evenly matched.
but.

In terms of attributes alone, A-Du, who chooses the Taijing Water, has a relatively obvious advantage.

In fact, whether it's Crystal Water or Crystal Ordinary, it can largely eliminate Dragonite's original weaknesses, such as its weaknesses to Ice and Fairy types.

While it can't fully utilize Extreme Speed, Dragonite has mastered many Water-type moves, making it a greater threat when facing Ground or Rock-type Pokémon.

“It seems that A-Du has indeed made preparations to climb the ranks,” Cynthia said.

Turning Taijing into Taijing Water is a move specifically targeting Boss Sakaki, who is known as "Sakaki of the Earth".

"Transforming the Taijing attribute...is it that easy?" Jing He murmured.

He still hasn't figured out how to change the properties of the crystallization, or whether it's done by collecting crystal fragments like in the game.

Da Ye, standing to the side, clicked his tongue in amazement, "Does everyone have a 'Legendary' now?"

Both Mega Tyranitar and Crystallized Dragonite demonstrated "legendary" level strength.

However, it's not that "legendary" is commonplace; rather, the trainers gathered at the Palace Arena are almost all the top trainers in the entire Pokémon world, the best trainers from various regions.
"Alright!" Da Ye clenched his fist. "Next target: Legend!"

A fire ignited in his eyes.

"Ku?" The Fierce Bite Monkey and Big Leaf put some distance between themselves.

So easy?

That kind of "legend" is really commonplace.
Hearing Da Ye's passionate words, Jing He snapped out of her daze, glanced at him, and then looked towards the arena. "Not Taijing Flight, bad review."

Meanwhile, on the field...

After completing their respective enhancements, the two spoke almost simultaneously.

"Dragonite, Waterfall Climb!" Wataru shouted.

"Woo!!"

Amidst the vast sandstorm, water surged wildly, engulfing large swathes of sand and dust, transforming them into surging waves that crashed against Mega Bangilas.

With the boost from the Water-type attribute, Dragonite's Water-type moves received a huge boost, making it seem like it was about to flood half the arena.

"Tyranitar!" Giovanni didn't give any command, he just called out Tyranitar's name, but that one word seemed to contain all the meaning.

Mega Evolution materializes the bond between Pokémon and their trainers, a spiritual connection and unspoken understanding; sometimes, a simple shout is enough.

"Banji!!"

Mega Bangilas stomped the ground, and the sandstorm that had been suppressed by the waterfall and water flow rose up again, even more violently than before.

Furthermore, the ground beneath Mega Tyranitar's feet began to crack, with cracks of varying sizes rapidly spreading outwards.

The appearance of these cracks was not due to the immense power of Mega Tyranitar's kick, but rather because...
"Banji?" Benjilas, who was next to Jinghe, stopped eating again, stared at her, and leaned forward slightly.

Jing He, standing to the side, nodded solemnly.

"Yes, the ground is cracking, the moisture is rapidly evaporating, and Bangiras is harnessing the power of the earth."

"The power of the earth?" The surrounding people couldn't help but turn their gazes towards it.

Clearly, these were not the moves or methods they were familiar with.

Faced with their questioning gazes, Jing He opened her mouth, unsure how to explain for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said:

Groudon

Groudon?
In fact, it should be called primitive regression Groudon.

Because the ground in this arena right now looks a lot like the Land of the End!

呲——

The water jet from Dragonite, upon hitting the ground, seemed to leap rapidly as if it had landed on a red-hot iron, quickly turning into steam and dissipating without leaving even a trace of water!
temperature!

The temperature inside the entire arena barrier skyrocketed.

It was as if a stream of magma was about to gush out from underground.

"It seems that Boss Giovanni gained a new understanding of 'Earth' during his battle with Groudon," Jing He thought to himself.

As expected of "Sakaki of the Earth"!
Although he didn't accidentally "steal" Groudon's "copy" of the Precipice Sword like his own Tyranitar, as the "Earth God" of the ancient era, encountering the modern "Giantsa of the Earth" did teach Giovanni some things.

Benjiras, standing beside him, looked thoughtful.

Oh~~
boom--

Dragonite's Waterfall crashed down, and Mega Tyranitar, without dodging or dodging, was instantly submerged.

However, amidst the surging waters, Mega Tyranitar behaved like a Water-type Pokémon, displaying remarkable agility.

and.

The water flow also dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Banji!" Jinghe's Banjilas slammed his fist into his palm.

Got it!

A "desert tyrant" who can't swim isn't a qualified Bangiras!

Jinghe: "?"

You've been looking at it for so long and you've already figured this out?
"Tyranitar, Thunder Fist!" The voice rang out again from the arena.

"Banji!!"

Mega Tyranitar clenched its fist, gathering lightning, and charged straight at the Dragonite that had just fallen from the waterfall.

Some people have a general impression of Giovanni as "Giovanni of the Earth," believing that his strongest Pokémon are Ground and Rock types.

This general impression isn't entirely wrong.

But in reality, Giovanni's mastery of other types is not bad, especially with Pokémon like Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and Tyranitar, which can master moves of multiple types and have a very wide range of attacks.

Being called a "master" is not just because of "the earth" or the training of Pokémon.

"Dragonite, Water Gun!"

Boom! !
The deafening roar sent water droplets and sand flying everywhere, pounding wildly against the arena's barriers and triggering a massive alarm, leaving the spectators in the front seats gaping in astonishment.

The two legendary Pokémon clashed with unrestrained ferocity, and even the giant barrier of the Palace Arena was struggling to withstand it.

As the commotion subsided and visibility gradually returned to normal, they saw...
Mega Tyranitar and the crystallized Dragonite are gripping each other tightly with their four arms clasped together, one above the other, seemingly motionless, but actually engaged in a struggle that is hard for others to imagine.

This can be seen from the constantly collapsing ground beneath Bangiras' feet.

The scorching heat, the rising water vapor, and the swirling sandstorm suppressed the power of Dragonite's Water-type moves, allowing Mega Tyranitar to withstand Dragonite's attack.

The faint golden arcs pulsating on Dragonite's body also indicate that it successfully withstood Mega Tyranitar's Thunder Punch, and with its feet off the ground, it was constantly on guard against any Ground-type moves that Tyranitar might bring.

Almost at the same time.

Seeing that the two Pokémon were locked in a stalemate, Giovanni and Lance spoke up together.

"Dragonite, Water Tail!"

"Bangiras, your Achilles' heel!"

A Dragon-type Pokémon is using a Water-type move, while a Rock/Dark-type Pokémon is using a powerful Dragon-type move.

"Woo!!!"

Dragonite twisted its body, its tail whipping out a torrent of water as it lashed out at Tyranitar.

Bangalore's already ferocious face became even more terrifying due to the bloodshot eyes and the rising dark red aura.

"Banji!!"

boom! !

Water flowed and sandstorms raged, and a misty vapor once again obscured the view, as if the sound of something being slammed heavily to the ground could be heard.

Bang!! Rumble—

The already dilapidated site collapsed in an instant.

This was followed by a series of collisions.

And when the collision reaches its limit
Everything fell into an eerie calm again.

When the referees and spectators could see what was happening on the field again, everyone's pupils constricted sharply.

It was in a pile of ruins.

Tyranitar, which has lost its Mega Evolution, and Dragonite, which has lost its Crystal Coat, still stand on the wrecked ground with their four arms clenched together.

only.
Both Tyranitar and Dragonite had lost their sparkle in their eyes.

"Tyranitar and Dragonite are both unable to battle!!"

Wow! !

A thunderous uproar erupted throughout the venue.

"They lost their ability to fight at the same time?"

"That was an overstatement."

"The score is so close, it's still 5-5?"

"But Champion Lance only has one Gyarados left, which is not in good condition. Mr. Giovanni's last Pokémon has not yet appeared. What will it be?"

The two retrieved their respective Pokémon.

Giovanni looked at Wataru and nodded slightly without saying a word, but those who knew Giovanni knew that his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Wataru.

How old is Adu? How old is he as the leader of the Rockets?

To push him to this extent
"Please, Gyarados!" Lance would never give up until the very last moment. He threw out a Poké Ball and summoned Gyarados, the Pokémon that had appeared at the beginning of the game.

"Roar--!!"

Gyarados could sense Lance's determination.

And Giovanni summoned his last Pokémon.

hum-

The bee's wings trembled and chirped.

After he appeared, the audience didn't even see what Pokémon Giovanni summoned; they only saw a green arc of light and the sound of the air trembling.

next second.

boom! !

The red Gyarados, which had been roaring just moments before, suddenly stopped, its eyes wide and its expression frozen in place.

A-Du was also stunned and stood there.

what's the situation?
Most of the audience looked completely bewildered.

Only a small number of people with exceptional eyesight or special abilities saw what just happened.

A Beedrill?!

So fast!

very fast!
And the speed and decisiveness of the attack were so great that it instantly defeated Lance's last red Gyarados!
Although Lance's red Gyarados was already in poor condition, ...
It wasn't until a loud "thud" as the red Gyarados crashed to the ground and Beedrill hovered in front of Giovanni that the audience slowly realized what had happened.

"A giant beetle?!"

"Gym Leader Giovanni's last Pokémon, 'Gym Leader of the Earth's' last Pokémon, was actually a Beedrill?!"

"So, so strong!"

"Don't tell me this is Gyūki's 'trump card'?"

Amidst the commotion from the audience, the commentator finally came to his senses and stammered:

"Gym Leader Sakaki's last Pokémon was... it was Beedrill!"

"Gyarados, unable to battle!" The referee snapped out of his daze and waved his flag to announce the result.

"So!" the commentator took a deep breath, "the winner and the one who successfully advances to the final is... Mr. Sakaki!!!"

boom! !

The entire stadium erupted in incredibly loud cheers.

Before the start of the competition, who could have imagined that this almost "suddenly appearing" gym leader, Sakaki, would be able to overcome all obstacles and advance to the final?

"Awesome! I seriously suspect that the last Beedrill to appear was Mr. Giovanni's trump card!"

"There are still experts! There are actually experts in the Kanto region! Kanto truly lives up to its reputation as the birthplace of the League; even a Gym Leader has such strength? That's unbelievable!"

"Wouldn't that put Teacher Jinghe in danger?"

"Surprise! Teacher Jinghe, danger!"

Amidst the fireworks, Lance, having retrieved his Gyarados, gave a wry smile, walked to the center of the arena, and shook hands with Giovanni.

Sakaki, unusually, spoke first, looking at Wataru with considerable appreciation, and said:
"To paraphrase a phrase Jinghe used to like to say, the future is yours, Adu."

A-Du: "."

To be honest, he never expected that he would actually compete against the leader of the Rockets, and even lose.
But if we set aside Giovanni's status as the leader of Team Rocket, Ayaka admits that he can sense the aura of a "master" from Giovanni.

Fortunately, Team Rocket is now undergoing a transformation. Although it cannot completely erase Team Rocket's past "evil," it is a great thing for the entire Pokémon world, the League, and countless ordinary people.

"I hope," A-du paused before saying, "that we'll have another chance to fight in the future."

Losing once is not terrible. Among the many players participating in the Masters tournament, including Daigo, Cynthia, Kikuko, and Shiba, he has lost to many of them.

It's a pity that they didn't make it to the finals and couldn't meet Jinghe in the finals.
He really wanted to fight Jing He at full strength, just like Cynthia did.

Pity.
Sakaki smiled. "Next time, I'll train a student to fight against you."

"Huh? Huh?" A-Du was taken aback.

After saying that, Sakaki didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the players' tunnel.

As for students, Sakaki already has someone in mind.

"Let's congratulate Mr. Sakaki once again on successfully advancing to the finals!"

"And his opponent will be Teacher Jing He!"

Who will ultimately claim the championship? Let's meet again in the final!

The Pokémon World Masters Championship is finally coming to an end, and the two finalists have been officially determined.

Jinghe VS Sakaki!

After the game.

There's no need to elaborate on the news of Giovanni defeating Wataru to advance to the finals, but the most discussed topic was Giovanni's almost fleeting Beedrill at the end.

The strength shown by Beedrill, why an ordinary Beedrill can be trained to this level, and whether Beedrill is Giovanni's ace, etc.

Questions like this.

In addition, there was much discussion about the odds of winning for both teams in the final.

Originally, regardless of whether it was A-du or Sakaki who advanced to the finals, many viewers believed that Jing He had a high probability of winning the championship.

After all, many people believe that Cynthia and Lance are evenly matched in strength, and even if Lance unleashes her full power, Jinghe's raw strength still gives her an advantage.

Moreover, Teacher Jinghe is not without a history of "explosive" performances.

But once the match between Giovanni and Wataru was over, the appearance of the final Beedrill created suspense.

Is the bee the ace?

Could Giovanni have even stronger Pokémon?
no one knows.

"A rational analysis suggests that Professor Jinghe is doomed!"

"You're really 'rational' then."

"No matter what, I will always support Teacher Jinghe!"

"To be honest, if we're just talking about attributes, Teacher Jinghe has the advantage."

"Attributes? Isn't Adu's attribute advantage today big enough?"
