Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Snorlax stood in place, his body hit directly by the Dream Eater. A bunch of painful memories flooded into his brain, but his fleshy palms did not stop for a moment. Flames burst out and slammed heavily forward.

The extremely fierce flames dispersed the smoke and swallowed up Darkrai's entire body.

boom! !

Darkrai was knocked flying by the punch, groaned, and stayed in the air.

A faint breath penetrated into Darkrai's body, and the dream-eating effect arrived as expected, healing some of Darkrai's physical strength.

"daydream!"

Now Red can only let Snorlax use Mew continuously.

While the flaming fist was still burning out, Snorlax roared again and rushed forward.

Another Flaming Fist?!

Was this luck? It didn't seem like it. It was more like this thought came to Red's mind, so Snorlax used a relative move to fight back.

The fat body stomped heavily towards Darkrai. Just after taking a step, his body sensed something and was surrounded by a nightmare. His whole body was covered by a dark light and he could not move.

Darkrai's characteristic Nightmare was also triggered as promised!

Even in his sleep, Snorlax couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, which was enough to show the power of his nightmare characteristics.

"Tsk~"

Daigo sighed softly and said, "This is Darkrai's power, the power of the Nightmare God."

No trainer wants to see his Pokémon continue to suffer damage. Although Snorlax can maintain its attack by talking in its sleep, it cannot resist the erosion of nightmares.

What's more, Darkrai can rely on Dream Eater to continuously recover health. If this situation continues, Red's Snorlax will most likely lose its combat ability.

unless……

"Let's see if Red can make Snorlax release the sleep mode." This was said by Sirona. She had a deep understanding of Pokémon and remembered all the Pokémon moves of various attributes under the requirements of her strict grandmother.

Since Red took the initiative to let the Dark Hole hit him, it means that Red already has a way to deal with it. The most crucial one is whether Snorlax has mastered the trick of sleeping.

"Darkrai?!"

But Dandi didn't think so. He was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "I remember that Darkrai should be a Dark-type Pokémon. Doesn't Baiyu use Provoke?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Indeed, as evil-type Pokémon, most of them would master evil-type provocations, not to mention the Nightmare God Darkrai.

Provocation is not a particularly outstanding move, but the existence of provocation can limit Snorlax from releasing its only move in the sleeping state, which is the sleep talk released at this moment!
In the provocative state, the Pokémon cannot release transformation moves for a short period of time.

And talking in sleep is one of the tricks of change.

After a long time, they turned their attention to the screen. Bai Yu must be aware of the tricks Darkrai knew, which means that Bai Yu is now waiting for an opportunity.

A perfect opportunity to unleash provocation.

On the field.

Seeing Snorlax being eroded by the nightmare, Red clenched his fists and shouted loudly, trying to get Snorlax to get rid of the nightmare and attack again.

The immune characteristic is only immune to poison, and has no immunity to other abnormal conditions. This can be regarded as Chihong's confidence. It is immune to the poisoning effect caused by the poisonous spike when it appears.

"Go on, use your sleep talk!"

Chihong looked at Snorlax who still hadn't woken up and shouted again. He knew in his heart that if Snorlax continued to consume energy like this, he would definitely lose his combat ability.

Therefore, this time, dream talking must occur while sleeping.

When in the sleeping state, the moves released by talking in sleep are random. Sleeping is also a move that Snorlax has mastered. At worst, Snorlax can just continue sleeping. As long as Snorlax can maintain this state for a long time, it will be fine.

In a war of attrition, what is being tested is not just the surface state of the Pokémon, but more the energy consumed by each Pokémon after releasing their moves.

Snorlax roared, and his body was instantly covered by a white light.

Chihong's words came true, and this guy really released the power of sleep,
The Psychic-type Sleep can put a Pokémon into a sleeping state, making it unable to wake up for a short period of time, and restore the Pokémon's state to perfection.

"provocative!"

But Baiyu would not give Red the chance to attack again. A malicious light flashed in Darkrai's eyes, and the light instantly enveloped Snorlax.

The white light that had just been released seemed to be planted with a seed of malice. The white light dissipated, and Snorlax just lay on the ground, motionless, and his injuries had not recovered. Or rather, the moment he was about to recover, he was forcibly interrupted by the provocation.

This scene directly interrupted Red's last thought, because the appearance of the provocative state meant that Snorlax would not be able to release any moves in a short period of time, and could only stand there stupidly and get beaten.

People outside the field were talking about it, and their words were full of regret. Once Snorlax was restrained, it would mean that the battle was completely over.

Unless Snorlax can wake up at this moment!
Can……

How could Snorlax, who had just been released from his sleeping state, wake up from his sleep in such a short time?

"Darkrai!"

Bai Yu snapped his fingers.

A black shadow emerged from Darkrai's body and hit the motionless Snorlax directly. A purple mist rose on the field. Snorlax groaned and his condition continued to decline. Darkrai inhaled the purple mist in the air and his condition gradually recovered.

Fortunately, Snorlax is huge in size, has a lot of stored energy (hp), and has extremely high special defense, so it can withstand the dream-eating at this moment.

But the next second, Nightmare appeared in Snorlax's mind again. Nightmare was different from Dream Eater. The damage it caused was even more serious than Dream Eater.

"Continuously use Dream Eater!"

Bai Yu gave the order calmly.

Darkrai still released a black shadow, washing over Snorlax's body, and a purple mist surged up. Darkrai inhaled the purple mist in the air.

Snorlax lay motionless on the ground, as if he was about to sink completely into the dream.

Unaffected by the opponent's moves, Darkrai exerted the power of Dream Eater to the limit. Even though Snorlax's special defense was amazing, it could not withstand the continuous Dream Eater attacks.

"Kirbymon!!"

Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and stared at Snorlax on the field.

Now he can only worry like this, there is nothing he can do. "No! I'm afraid Snorlax won't wake up. The next time Chi Ge's Snorlax eats dreams, it is very likely that Chi Ge's Snorlax will lose its combat capability." Xiao Mao shook his head slowly, staring at Snorlax.

As long as Snorlax hasn't woken up and Dream Eater hits the target as promised, Snorlax will definitely not be able to withstand the damage.

Besides... the next White Feather may not release Dream Eater. Snorlax has been sleeping for so long, it's time for him to wake up. The best attack should be the Dark-type Dark Wave. Regardless of whether Snorlax wakes up or not, that Dark Wave can inflict the highest damage.

Xiao Mao could figure this out, not to mention Bai Yu on the field, who had a smile on his face.

Looking at Snorlax in front of him, regardless of Snorlax's current state, he snapped his fingers, pointed at Snorlax on the field, and said, "Red, as a trainer, you should know that even if Snorlax wakes up at this moment, it will be powerless to save the situation."

Chihong remained silent, his red eyes slightly frozen.

"Even if Snorlax wakes up, he can't do anything in his provocative state."

"So... give it the final blow, Wave of Evil!"

A strange light flashed in Darkrai's blue eyes, and his evil aura surged to the highest point. His hands gathered into an astonishing wave and shot towards Snorlax.

It was the evil wave of the evil type, or it was the evil wave that Darkrai used all his strength to produce.

The power of this shot can be imagined.

"Kirby~"

Snorlax growled, broke free from the sleep shackles, and woke up at the most critical moment. As soon as it woke up, it saw the dark waves coming.

A little confused, it reacted instinctively, placing its hands on the front, trying to resist the erosion of the evil wave at this moment. However, the evil wave bombarded its body, and the violent wind and waves overflowed like a storm.

Snorlax was forced to take several steps back, gritting his teeth. The muscles in his arms also surged at this moment. The wind and waves blew Darkrai's hair, and the hair swayed with the wind.

At this moment, everyone finally understood the unique charm of Darkrai!

Soon, the wave of evil exploded, but Snorlax's huge body still supported it from falling down.

Everyone looked at Snorlax on the field, and all showed regret.

Snorlax just stood there, motionless. It had lost consciousness, but did not fall down. Perhaps it was Snorlax or Red's last bit of stubbornness.

"Snorlax has lost his ability to fight."

The referee reappeared riding the Aerial Rotom, stared at Snorlax, and said with regret.

On the scoreboard screen, the surrender of Snorlax on Red's side also dimmed. Now Red only has the starting Moltres that has not lost its combat ability. The remaining five Pokémon have all lost their combat ability.

As both are evil-type legendary beasts, Darkrai is much more famous than Moltres of the Galar region, and Darkrai is nicknamed the God of Nightmares.

The folks in the Galar region seem to call Moltres the Evil Bird!

Chihong said nothing, took out the Poké Ball and took back the Snorlax that was standing still on the field, then apologized deeply to his Pokémon with mixed feelings.

Fighting so far, he seemed to have done the best he could.

However, Bai Yu still showed amazing strength and defeated many of his main forces, especially Pikachu, who was defeated so thoroughly.

Moreover, Baiyu did not use the nail hand in this battle. He just let Gengar release the poison spike once at the end of the battle, and the poison spike had no effect on his remaining two Pokémon.

Previously, Chihong was determined to win and wanted to take the victory of this game.

It seems that the fuse of all this was the moment when Electric Beast left the field, Dragonite came on the field, and instantly used Feathered Dragonite. If it weren't for Gengar's fate, he would have replaced the Dragonite that was almost in full condition.

I'm afraid he will lose more completely.

"Huh... Bai Yu, you are really strong! But, I haven't lost yet, right!" Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, Chi Hong will fight for it.

"Featherfall is a recovery move introduced by the fourth generation. If the three holy birds are in a normal state, they can naturally rely on featherfall to recover. But this evil bird can't!!"

Bai Yu was also calculating in his heart. Galar Moltres couldn't even use Feather Rest, so it had lost the capital to survive the battle. Although when its health was more than half, Galar Moltres would trigger its characteristic Furious if it appeared again, but what was the use?
When in the Special Attack +1 state, Galar Moltres' Special Attack will not be higher than Darkrai's, and its speed is also not as good as Darkrai. The power of its special attack, Rage, is halved when it hits Darkrai.

and so……

The final battle has become a foregone conclusion. Moltres's continuous attacks have no effect on Darkrai, and instead Moltres is forced back by Darkrai.

Even if Darkrai doesn't know the most useful electrical move, Hundreds of Thousands of Volts, he can still rely on the charging beam to continue to pose a threat to Moltres.

Continuously releasing charging beams can sometimes enhance Darkrai's special attack, which is a different kind of torture for Red. It is the champion's mentality that allows him to persist until now.

If it were a normal person, he would have surrendered long ago.

There is no possibility of winning at all.

In the end, Moltres released its final Burning Fury, but was still penetrated by Darkrai's evil wave. Burning Fury hit Darkrai, but it did not lose its combat capability.

In contrast, Moltres fell down with a scream, completely losing its ability to fight.

"Molten loses the ability to fight, so the winner is... Shiraha!!!"

The referee raised his hands and shouted the result of the fight.

The whole audience burst into enthusiastic applause. Their determination to persevere to the end also showed how amazing the willpower of the red players was.

Chihong took out a Poké Ball and reached out to lower the brim of his hat. He didn't want others to see what he was thinking at this moment. This was also Chihong's own habit.

"The winner of the semi-finals is Bai Yu, so he is sure to advance to the finals. His opponent in the final will be decided after the next match between Xirona and Dan Di!"

"Let us congratulate Bai Yu for advancing to the semi-finals."

After the commentator's passionate shout, applause broke out from outside the stadium.

"Akahong~did he lose again?" Hanako, who was sitting next to Professor Oak, had a dim look in her eyes. She knew better than anyone how much she wanted to beat Baiyu.

Such an unwilling look, that look, even as a mother, she rarely saw it on the red face.

"Brother Chi, did he still lose?!"

Xiaozhi clenched his fists. He was also unwilling to accept the fact that the man who was his brother and role model had lost to him again. He felt extremely upset.

Pikachu also sensed Xiaozhi's emotions and shouted a few times in the same depressed mood. (End of this chapter)
