Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 566 Mammon: Time for idle chatter is over
Steven took out a Poké Ball and recalled the Claydol, which had lost its ability to battle. After looking at it for a while, he turned to Mammon and Nihilego in front of him.

"Awesome!"

Daigo couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, after successfully using the Light Wall, as long as Mammon didn't replace Nihilego, he had already written the equation for victory.

After all, the situation was far too favorable for him.

But Nihilego's mirror reflection completely shattered his thoughts. One can only say, he truly lives up to his reputation as Mammon.

In this situation, they can come up with this tactic to win.

"You're quite good too. Many people probably couldn't do what you did when facing my crawling wings and Nihilego."

Mammon replied with a smile.

In terms of direct combat strength, his crawling wings and Nihilego are both very strong, if it were Mikuri instead.

Using the crawling wings and Nihilego to sweep through is definitely no problem.

But Daigo is able to come up with various strategies to limit the performance of Nihilego and Ido, which is really quite impressive.

"I'll take it as a compliment," Daigo replied with a smile.

"Then what's next."

Daigo glanced at Nihilgo Ido, who was seriously injured.

Although Nihilego was at full strength before being hit by the power of the earth, and had very high special defense.

However, given that it was a four-fold counter, Nihilego's injuries were already quite severe.

Moreover, Mammon doesn't seem to have any intention of replacing Nihilego.

"Metrogross!"

After thinking for a moment, Daigo decisively threw out his third Poké Ball.

The imposing Metagross landed heavily in front of Daigo; this was Daigo's previous ace Metagross.

However, since Shiny Metagross was fully trained, Shiny Metagross has become Steven's true ace.

However, this Metagross is also extremely strong and can definitely be considered a mainstay of Steven's team.

"They're using Metagross? Looks like they're going to go all out." Mammon wasn't too surprised.

After all, the fact that he didn't take back Nihilego already showed his attitude.

"Then come on, Steven, let me see how strong your Metagross is."

Mammon gestured to Daigo, indicating that he should not hold back and should come at him with all his might.

Daigo let out a soft sigh of relief, his eyes becoming calm and composed.

"Metrogross, bullet punch!"

Daigo suddenly shouted at Metagross.

"Mita~!"

A deep, metallic rumble resounded, and Metagross floated up, its giant claws flashing white light as it charged at Nihilego at high speed.

The Steel-type priority move, Bullet Punch!
At this moment, the sandstorm has completely ended, and visibility is clear again.

"thunder!"

Mammon squinted, staring intently at Metagross, while lightning crackled and roared around Nihilego.

Thunder is in the works.

Metagross isn't actually that fast, at least not as fast as Nihilego, but the speed boost provided by its priority move Bullet Punch makes up for this weakness.

That's why many people say that Metagross, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, is almost a flawless Pokémon!
Metagross almost transformed into a bluish-green shadow, and when it became clear again, it had already charged in front of Nihilego.

The two giant claws became afterimages as they swung wildly at Nihilistic Id.

But Nihilego, who had been on high alert, suddenly unleashed a burst of lightning the moment Metagross appeared.

boom!
The golden thunderbolt struck the Metagross with a deafening roar.

The powerful lightning roared wildly, and although it was unrestrained, Nihilego's lightning damage was still considerable.

Metagross's bullet punches paused subconsciously for a moment, but the next moment, it endured the corrosive force of the thunder.

Metagross's bullet punch landed heavily on Nihilego.

The bullet punches relentlessly pounded against Nihilego's soft body, causing Nihilego to cry out in pain and be sent flying by the bullet punches.

Nihilego is weak to Steel, and... Nihilego has very low physical defense.

Even though the Bullet Punch, a preemptive strike, wasn't particularly powerful, it was still a significant blow to Nihilgo Ido.

Moreover, Kyūgo Idō's condition was already poor.

To make matters worse, when Nihilego was blasted away, his back hit an invisible rock.

The cloaked rock exploded, causing further damage to Nihilego Id.

Nihilego fell heavily to the ground, letting out another muffled groan of pain. The ground was also littered with the Spikes laid out by Skarmory.

With a final blow from Sasaki, Niohuru Ido finally succumbed.

"Nihilego is unable to fight, Metagross wins."

The referee announced the result of the battle.

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the entire stadium erupted in exaggerated cheers and applause.

After all, this is the Rainbow Arena, the Hoenn region, and Steven's home ground.

Daigo had the most fans at the event.

"Phew~ I finally beat one of Mammon's Pokémon."

"Is this the first time Mammon has been defeated by a Pokémon since he participated in the World Championships? As expected of our Steven!"

"Go Daigo, champion! You're the best! You'll definitely win!"

"This Nihilego Ido isn't ugly, but it just gives off a feeling of physical discomfort. I finally managed to make it lose its ability to fight."

"Great! Winning against one is a good loss! Winning against two is a huge win! If you beat Mammon's three main Pokémon, I can brag about Daigo being the champion for a year!"

In the live stream, a large number of comments kept scrolling by. Clearly, many people were very surprised and delighted that Daigo was able to defeat Mammon, one of the main fighters.

After all, Mammon's previous record of sweeping aside Mikoli was still quite frightening.

In particular, Mammon used the mythical Kyogre in public during that battle!

"Mammon really went too far in holding back." In the spectator room, Mikoli commented on his best friend's victory over one of Mammon's main fighters.

He felt that under normal circumstances, Daigo should not have the ability to defeat Mammon, one of the main forces.

All I can say is that Mammon has really gone all out!

On the field.

"It's really good that you were able to defeat me, Nihilego Idok."

Mammon recalled Nihilego, which had lost its ability to fight, glanced at Metagross, and smiled at Daigo.

"Then your next opponent will be it."

Mammon threw his third Poké Ball with a backhand motion.

"Iron Warriors, prepare for battle."

A flash of white light, and a cold, humanoid Pokémon landed in front of Mammon.

As soon as he landed, the sharp nail pierced the Iron Warrior, but the Iron Warrior seemed not to feel it at all, only his body paused for a moment.

If Daigo hadn't noticed this, he might have even thought that the Spikes spell had failed.

"The future species of the paradoxical Pokémon, Iron Warrior."

Daigo narrowed his eyes slightly, examining the Iron Warrior whose appearance resembled both Gardevoir and Gallade.

Its aura was icy, and it held a gleaming double-headed blade in its left hand, its cruel and indifferent eyes staring coldly at the Metagross.

"Daigo, be careful. Iron Warrior is not the same as Earthwing and Nihilego Ido."

Mammon smiled and reminded Daigo that playtime was over.

Daigo's eyes narrowed slightly. He understood Mammon's meaning. Clearly, the Iron Warrior was much stronger than the previous two.

In other words, Mammon is about to get serious.

"Iron Warrior".

Iron Warrior understood Mammon's meaning. He raised his left hand, brandishing the blade, and then clenched his hands tightly. The blade gradually slid down to Iron Warrior's arm, transforming into two sharp arm blades, very similar to Gallade's arm blades.

However, Gallade's arm blade is on its right arm, while Iron Warrior has both arms.

That gleaming, sharp blade looked like no joke.

"Metamorphosis! Bullet Punch!"

However, when it comes to close combat, Steven is extremely confident in his Metagross.

Metagross let out a low growl and charged at Iron Warrior at high speed. With the acceleration of its Bullet Punch, a preemptive move, it was incredibly fast.

The Iron Warrior stared coldly at the Megalodon, gradually getting into position.

Before long, the Metagross charged in front of the Iron Warrior, raised its two giant claws, and smashed them down at high speed like bullets.

"Quick defense."

Iron Warrior raises his left arm horizontally, a quick defensive move for Fighting-style combat.

It can defend against the opponent's preemptive attack.

Bullet punches rained down, but all were blocked by the Iron Warrior's swift defense.

"Secret attack on key points!"

The next moment, the Iron Warrior's right arm blade glowed with a purplish-black light and slashed upwards fiercely.

Dark-type attacks strike vital points!
"Metrogross!"

The giant metal groaned in pain as it was slashed and forced back.

The Ambush is effective against Metagross, and it does considerable damage to Metagross. However, Metagross has very high defense, so it can withstand the attack.

Looking at the Iron Warrior opposite him, whose aura remained as cold and robotic as ever, Daigo frowned slightly.

"Metrogross, Comet Punch!"

The Megalodon roared and raised its two giant claws, launching a fierce attack on the Iron Warrior.

Steel-type Comet Fist!

"Close combat!"

Iron Warrior advanced instead of retreating, wildly swinging his arm blades at Metagross's Comet Punch.

Fighting-style close combat!
Abandoning defense and launching a full-scale attack, Metagross Comet Fist was placed in front to block the Iron Warrior's frenzied assault.

However, the Iron Warrior's close-combat strength became increasingly heavy, to the point that Metagross could no longer withstand it.

Daigo frowned. He really hadn't expected that Metagross would be outmatched by Iron Warrior in a head-on confrontation.

This is his Metagross!

boom!
With another slash from the Iron Warrior, Metagross's Comet Punch was completely broken. The next moment, the Iron Warrior's other arm blade came down heavily, hitting Metagross squarely in the face.

The giant metal monster let out a low growl of pain as its entire body was slashed away by the Iron Warrior.

"Shadow Ball."

Iron Warrior had no intention of letting Metagross go and charged directly at the Metagross that was flying backward.

At the same time, a shadow ball condensed and shot out, catching up with Metagross and exploding heavily on its body.

The Ghost-type Shadow Ball deals significant damage to Metagross.

"Secret attack on key points."

Mammon's lips curled up slightly.

The Iron Warrior accelerated again, rapidly approaching the Metagross, but suddenly its figure stopped, and an invisible stone appeared in front of it.

boom!
The invisible rock shattered, and the Iron Warrior was stopped.

Mammon clicked his tongue in disapproval; his luck wasn't great.

Metagross crashed heavily to the ground, and Steven finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if the Iron Warrior catches up and continues to attack, Metagross might not be able to withstand the subsequent pursuit.

"What a ferocious Iron Warrior."

However, after the recent exchange, Daigo's gaze towards this cold-blooded Future Species had completely turned serious.

This Iron Warrior... is surprisingly strong.
