Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 431 Crossing the Desperate Situation
"How were they trained?"

Natsume scratched his head, wondering if the guardian Dragonite was hiding something from him.

The Dragonite's control over its own power is terrifying.

It's too far-fetched to achieve this kind of teleportation-like evasion purely through physical strength.

Even Alakazam needs to catch his breath after using Teleport too much.

On the other hand, the Great Dragonite is just like a dragon that has nothing to do.

In the sky, the Salamence stared at the ground in astonishment.

Suddenly, its gaze shifted and met Du's resolute eyes.

The next second, a white super-evolutionary light shone.

"Could it be that, my God, Mr. Wataru is definitely the second Superman I've ever seen!" Narusuke said, as the camera on the huge screen focused entirely on Wataru.

Without further hesitation, Du raised the keystone on his wrist!
"Respond to my heart, Salamence! Mega Evolve!"

The seven-colored super-evolutionary light connected instantly, and the Salamence in the air let out a deafening roar, its body transforming in the light.

Its wings became even larger and more ferocious, resembling two giant, blood-dripping scythes. The dragon horns on its head became even sharper, and its blue scales seemed to be stained with blood, exuding an even more violent and ferocious aura.

Super Salamence!
"It's here! Mr. Wataru's Mega Salamence! The pressure is even greater! Dragonite is in danger!" Naruto shouted excitedly and nervously.

The audience was also shocked by this powerful posture, and almost foresaw the defeat of the giant dragon.

This giant Dragonite is indeed tough.

But it can't fly!

As long as Salamence keeps flying in the sky and slowly wears down its opponent, it will definitely win.

In contrast, Natsume has two remaining Pokémon—a Pikachu and a Diglett.

They have no way to deal with Pokémon that have air superiority.

"Super Salamence, Dragon God Dive!" Lance issued the decisive command.

He also noticed something amiss.

Ranged attacks seem to have difficulty hitting Natsume's Dragonite.

Mega Salamence let out a piercing scream that tore through the clouds, folded its wings, and was enveloped in a bluish-white Dragon-type energy. Like a falling blue comet, it charged down towards the Mega Dragonite on the ground with a speed far exceeding its previous speed and a terrifying momentum that could tear everything apart!

The enormous dragon claw, gleaming with a cold light, was aimed directly at the head of the Great Jaggi.

"Danger!" Jiaozi exclaimed in alarm.

What should I do at this time?

Natsume begins to use his super intelligence.

The super intelligence tells Natsume that it's time to use super power.

Natsume's gaze remained calm as he uttered a single word: "Jump."

Just as that devastating dragon claw was only a few meters away from the top of the giant dragon's head—

The Dragonite, which had always seemed clumsy, vulnerable to attacks, and even somewhat dim-witted, suddenly revealed a sharp, almost cold glint in its bewildered eyes that was completely at odds with its appearance.

Its incredibly thick hind legs slammed into the ground.

boom! ! !
A huge crater was instantly created in the ground!
Despite its massive, mountain-like body, the Great Dragonite unleashed an astonishing jumping power completely disproportionate to its size.

Although it wasn't high, the timing and angle were perfect.

Its massive body suddenly rose up to the side and in front of the Super Salamence's dive path.

Then, just as the Super Salamence was unable to change direction immediately due to its diving inertia, and a look of horror had just appeared in Wataru's eyes—

The giant right hand of the Great Dragonite, like a precise battering ram, arrived with lightning speed, accompanied by a muffled whistling sound that tore through the air.

A pure strike, containing unimaginable power!
*Smack!*

A loud, muffled, and heart-stopping sound of flesh colliding with flesh rang out, more so than any explosion before!

Time seems to have frozen.

Before everyone's stunned eyes, the enormous, exaggerated orange dragon claw slammed solidly and without any frills onto the ferocious side of the Super Salamence.

The earth-shattering struggle I had imagined never happened. Mega Salamence's dive, enveloped in terrifying Dragon-type energy, was like crashing into an invisible wall of sighs.

Its proud, super-evolved, and incredibly strong steel head scales were instantly dented and shattered, like a fragile eggshell.

The immense impact caused its entire head, along with its massive body, to be abruptly and brutally changed direction at a speed even faster than a dive, slamming it violently towards the ground like a fly casually swatted away by a giant.

Boom! ...

The entire arena shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a massive crater, even larger and more shocking than the one created by Loreton and Charizard Z, was revealed in the center of the arena!

At the bottom of the deep pit, the Mega Salamence was embedded in the soil and rocks in an extremely contorted posture.

Its proud scythe-like wings were broken and deformed, its scarlet wing membranes were tattered, and its ferocious head was smashed into the ground like an ostrich.

Salamence lost consciousness, and the light of its Mega Evolution had long since faded.

Meanwhile, the giant dragon landed steadily not far from the edge of the pit.

It shook its right paw, which had just slapped the hole, and moved closer to it.

The giant dragon looked down at the motionless Mega Salamence in the pit and curiously poked it with its claw.

Dead silence.

The entire room was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was completely stunned by this scene of pure violence, utter barbarity, and a shocking contrast.

The audience's minds went blank, and they couldn't even utter a gasp.

Narutosuke was the first to react:

"Sure enough, when the Creator closes a door, he opens a window!"

"Mr. Natsume's Dragonite is incredibly strong!"

Inside the arena, the referee's voice, trembling with unprecedented disbelief, followed closely behind Naruto's steps, shattering the deathly silence:
"Super Mega Salamence is unable to battle! Dragonite wins!"

There was an uproar.

It's match point! It's directly at match point!
Lance, the Dragon-type Elite Four member, is forced to have only one Pokémon left!
On the other hand, Natsume still has three Pokémon!

The upset caused a huge uproar, with countless viewers even standing up and staring in disbelief at the half of the screen that belonged to Watari.

The icons that originally symbolized the six powerful companions are now like extinguished stars. Five have completely dimmed, leaving only the last, simple-minded, fast-paced dragon icon, stubbornly shining in the dim light.

Du stood quietly at the command post.

The commotion, gasps, and incredulous stares from the sidelines seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier, unable to penetrate his current composure.

“Natsume,” Watari suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Natsume looked at the other person with great interest.

He suddenly realized that Du's face showed no sign of panic whatsoever, and he couldn't detect any emotion at all.

"It seems I haven't put enough pressure on you," Natsume said with a half-smile.

"No." Du shook his head silently.

A lot of pressure.

But for some reason, the more this happened, the calmer his heart became, like a stagnant pool.

"I will give it my all from now on."

The last red and white ball appeared in Watari's hand.

The lone avatar lit up on half of the screen, like a cold medal, silently proclaimed the price he had paid to get here.

He had been preparing for this for far too long.

Countless sleepless nights of training, all the sweat, scars, and near-limit-level tempering have finally converged into this moment.

In this tiny space, we fought a desperate battle with our backs to the wall.
