Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

With no way to avoid it, Doronchi couldn't hold out, and releasing another Spirit Sneak Attack in a short time would consume too much energy. Doronchi had no choice but to withstand the rock blockade.

With the infiltration of special energy that included a weakening effect, Doronchi paused slightly, and his speed noticeably slowed down.

Even so, he managed to dodge the tentacles that came grabbing him from behind with a nimble twist.

However, he did not immediately launch a counterattack, but instead sent out the missile-like Doromecia to turn around and fight back.

Doronchi and Doronchi Jr. are separated again.

The rock blockade hadn't actually affected Doromesia, which slipped through the cracks in the rock with its small body.

So at this moment, it was still full of energy, weaving through tentacles that were thicker than itself, and flying at high speed toward the Cradle Lily.

At the same time, Fighting-type energy gathered, and the Fighting-type move that had previously dealt a significant blow to Skarmory reappeared.

Daigo's expression was solemn. This situation was extremely awkward. If he tried to defend, but was forced to use it by a Dragapult, what would happen if Dragapult attacked later?

If they don't hold their ground, the Skarmory's injuries are still fresh in everyone's mind, and the Cinnabar, which is weak in Fighting, is really in trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Daigo decided to trust Cradle Lily's durability and recovery ability, and said in a deep voice, "Cradle Lily, shoot it down!"

He wanted to deal with this extremely dangerous little thing first!

While the battle raged on one side, over there, Doraki, having distanced itself from the main battle, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and performed another Dragon Dance.

Chapter 288 Shiny Showdown: Gardevoir vs. Metagross!

Enveloped in orange-red light, Dorgonmesia shot straight toward the fixed target, Cradle Lily, like a small rocket with astonishing momentum.

Cradle Lily, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for her fate. A green light, imbued with the breath of life, flickered on her tentacles, like a patient hunter setting traps and waiting for her prey.

With Dorronmesia's lightning-fast sprint, the distance between the two quickly closed to zero.

In an instant, the already dazzling orange-red light intensified, followed by a sound slower than the speed of light that spread, shocking the ears of every audience member.

boom--

The orange-red light was dazzling, and the shockwave from the energy explosion even shattered the protective shield surrounding the battlefield.

The audience outside the protective barrier was stunned. Could a dojo-level battle really produce such a spectacle?

This Doron Messiah is a bit too powerful, isn't it?

Even Aldak in the commentary booth couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"It's hard to imagine that such a move was performed by a Draco Mesia. Even with the boost from four Dragon Dances, it's still quite amazing. I even suspect that this is something else disguised as a Draco Mesia."

To some extent, Adek's guess was not wrong.

Da Ye, standing to the side, suddenly became serious. He said, "Dronmesia's Fighting-type move seems to be quite powerful, with excessively high damage."

Trainers at his level have extremely accurate estimates of the damage of moves.

Although Cradlejaw and Skarmory's durability was much worse, and Dragapult had four Dragon Dance boosts, he still keenly sensed something unusual.

Adek paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement after thinking it over carefully. "That's right, the power of this move on Cradle Lily was about 30 percent higher than the previous normal one!"

The 30% he mentioned naturally excludes a series of variable factors, excluding double resistance, Dragon Dance bonus, and differences between Pokémon.

After fighting for twenty years, they immediately realized something: there was something wrong with this move!

…………

This move is obviously flawed.

As the exclusive move [Full Charge] personally taught by the legendary elf Guleton, it would be a miracle if it worked normally.

Its special feature is that if the target of the full-power charge is a Pokémon weak to Fighting, then its power can be increased by one-third.

Cradle Lily's Rock/Grass type is one of the many weaknesses of the Fighting type!

The smoke from the explosion still lingered over the battlefield when a green light suddenly flashed within it.

The camera zoomed in, revealing that one of Cradle Lilies' tentacles had bound Doron Mesia, its tip sucking energy from the baby Doron's body like a suction cup.

Ultimate Absorption!

Although the full-force ramming attack was incredibly powerful, the Cradle Lily's ridiculously high meat yielded after three stacks of [Charge], and in its [Rooted] state, it could continuously draw energy from the ground, allowing the Cradle Lily to survive.

At this moment, the tide has turned!

Under the dual restoration of ultimate absorption and rooting, Cradle Lily, whose body was covered with charred wounds, is visibly beginning to improve.

In contrast, Dorgonmesia looked as if his life force had been drained by a ghost, and his complexion became increasingly pale and listless.

The difference in strength is still too great. Even with its resistance to grass, Little Dragon's life force is rapidly draining away under this ultimate drain, becoming a medicine for Cradle Lily to recover from its injuries.

Just as Dorgonmesia was about to be drained dry by Cradle Lily, a figure radiating a purplish-red glow rushed towards them from afar.

Dragon's Dive!

Seeing his son being bullied, Doronchi naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

Although the two Pokémon had created some distance between themselves during their earlier escape, it was only a matter of moments for Dragapult, who was boosted by the five-stage Dragon Dance buff.

When in its dragon dive state, Doromia is incredibly fast. If Doromia is just a missile, then it is a rocket that has detached from its launcher and entered acceleration mode.

From the audience's perspective, all they saw was a purplish-red meteor streaking straight along its trajectory, followed by a deafening explosion.

boom--

The residual power of the attack, no less than that of Xiao Duolong's full-force charge, once again tested the strength of the protective shield on the competition field.

The transparent protective barrier rippled with waves before gradually fading, proving through its performance that it could still hold up.

After all, Raven Arena is a competition venue that can support the championship challenge, so gym-level moves are naturally easy to handle.

But while the protective shield can withstand it, it's hard to say whether the Cradle Lily can.

The audience watched with tense expressions as the smoke rose and fell on the battlefield, waiting for what could be the turning point of the match.

If Cubone fails to hold on, then Skarmory and Metagross will face a Dragapult that has performed Dragon Dance five times!

Even if Metagross is incredibly powerful, it probably can't match the impact of Draco's ultimate output and speed.

If Cradle Lily manages to hold her ground, or even control Draco with her tentacles, then it will be Draco, that fragile little guy, who faces danger.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the crucial moment of this confrontation became apparent.

Cradle Lily stood on the rock, her broken body dangling. Several tentacles shot out from around her head, binding Dorgonchi tightly.

Not only did it not fall, it even used its tentacles to control Doronchi!

…………

"It was [swallowed]! At the most critical moment, it was the energy accumulated from the three previous [charges] that saved Cradle Lily!"

Adek noticed with great care that the orange light representing enhancement that had been flowing around Cradle Lily was gone, and immediately concluded that it had been able to survive the almost fatal dragon's dive.

"Although this caused it to lose its enhanced defense and special defense, without the life and health recovery from [swallowing], Cradle Lily would most likely not be able to withstand the Dragon's Dive. But now, even without the defense bonus, it doesn't matter, because it has already seized the offensive rhythm!"

"Both Dornatch and Doromexia are firmly controlled by Cradle Lily's tentacles and cannot break free. Although Dornatch has greatly enhanced its attack and speed through Dragon Dance, its defense and durability are extremely fragile. It is feared that it will not be able to withstand Cradle Lily's second attack with sharp stones."

The reason Aldek said he "couldn't withstand the second barrage of sharp stones" was naturally because the first one had already been launched.

The instant after Doronchi was brought under control, a huge, deep blue stone pillar with an extremely sharp top rose from the ground and stabbed straight at Doronchi, who was now unable to move.

"strange!"

The piercing, agonizing screams were extremely chilling.

Although it lacks double super weakness, Steven's carefully trained Gym Leader Cradle Lily has considerable attack power, and its high-power STAB moves are extremely effective against Dragapult, which is a level below it.

In front, there's the steel wings of the Skarmory; behind, the rocky blockade of the Cradle Lily; and then, a solid, sharp rock attack.

To paraphrase a common saying among commentators, Doronki is already in a state of "a candle flickering in the wind," almost just one straw away from breaking the camel's back.

Under Cradle Lily's tentacle control, it would be virtually impossible for Doronchi to escape.

Da Ye sighed, "It seems that the battle between the strongest spear and the strongest shield has finally come to an end. Fortunately, Cradle Lily is in extremely poor condition right now, and the double defense boost she received through [Charging Power] has also been used up. Otherwise, Xia Chen's troubles would have been much more than this. Wait, it seems that Doron Messiah has... escaped!"

…………

At this moment, not only was Da Ye surprised, but the spectators on the sidelines also couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

On the field, Dorgonmesia, who had been tightly bound by tentacles, broke free from his restraints while Cradle Lily was distracted controlling Dorgonchi, and his orange-red light shone brightly once again.

Another full-speed, powerful crash!

At the crucial moment, the most overlooked player, Dorgonmesia, became the key to turning the tide of the battle. As long as his full-power charge hit, the Cradle of a Hundred would not be able to withstand it without the [charge] buff.

Can Cradle Lily escape?

The fact that its roots are firmly embedded in the soil tells you that it is absolutely impossible.

"Cradle Lily, Rock Attack!"

Daigo issued the crucial command, understanding that Cradle Lily could fall, but Doronchi could not stand.

Even with only a sliver of health remaining, the five-layered Dragon Dance buff on Doronki can still pose a significant threat to Metagross using the elusive [Sneak Attack] move.

Therefore, he chose to trade his life for his own.

boom--

Two loud bangs followed one after another. The first was the sound of Dorgon Messiah's all-out charge hitting Cradle Lily, and the second was the sound of another crystal-clear energy boulder tearing through the ground and bursting out of the soil.

Cradle Lily eventually unleashed her second, potentially lethal, stone attack.

Snapped--

Although the dust from the explosion once again obscured the view in the center of the arena, a small but clear sound made the audience seem to hear Doronchi falling limply from mid-air.

The camera zooms in, revealing Doronchi's unconscious body lying on the ground.

On the other side, Cradle Lily also failed to withstand the devastation of the full-force ramming attack and lost her ability to fight.

The two Pokémon tragically died together, bringing the score to 1-1.

Wait, that doesn't seem right. There was another moving elf on the battlefield, wasn't there?

As the dust settled, a small body wobbled out and appeared in front of the camera. A Doronmesia with an orange-red head stared blankly at the unconscious Doronchi.

Dorronmesia became the sole survivor of the entire event.
