Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

His Blastoise was also defeated by this move back then!

Take the damage, get it back double... King Ruth's 'restraint' is just that domineering!

In the arena, Blaine stared blankly at the Nine-Tails lying on the ground, then shook his head helplessly, recalled it, and looked up at Tokito, saying, "I didn't expect that I would actually... be outmaneuvered by you."

Shi Dou smiled slightly, which was taken as tacit agreement.

In the Pokémon world, the moves that reflect damage are "Double Up" and "Mirror," which are used depending on whether the opponent uses a physical or special attack.

This requires a high level of judgment from the trainer.

However, King Ruth's [Restraint] move is quite ineffective, as it doesn't matter whether it's a special attack or a physical attack, because it returns double the damage King Ruth receives.

Ignore defense, deal true damage.

Toki had long anticipated that Ninetales, with its [Solar] ability, would most likely include the instant-fire [Solar Beam] moveset in its moveset, as it would be used to deal with Water, Rock, and Ground-type Pokémon.

And as long as the opponent dares to use Nine-Tails, Tokito dares to use [Restraint] to counter it!

There's also an explanation for the [Following the Wind...Waves] technique that Shidou had King Ruth use before.

While increasing Special Attack is important, the more crucial factor is the increase in Special Defense. It is this increased Special Defense that ensures King Luce can withstand the first wave of Solar Beam damage without being instantly killed, thus laying a solid foundation for countering the terrifying double damage counterattack.

How could Ninetales possibly withstand a Grass-type attack that delivers double the damage?

Blaine took a deep breath, suppressing his surprise and slight annoyance. As a veteran powerhouse, he adjusted his mindset extremely quickly. The match was not over yet, so he quickly took out a second Poké Ball.

A white light flashed, revealing a Pokémon with a plump body, its fur looking as if it were on fire, and even the breath it exhaled seemed to be burning. The ends of its arms looked like giant cannons, and its body was covered in flame-like patterns.

Magmortar, a Fiery Pokémon, lives in volcanoes. Because of its habitat, its body has gradually become like a volcano, and it has organs similar to magma chambers. It can evolve with the help of strange items. The fireballs it fires from its tubular arms can reach temperatures of up to 2000 degrees Celsius, with a temperature that can melt an iron pot in an instant.

The commentator excitedly shouted, "It's out! It's Mr. Blaze's Magmortar!! Blaze has sent out one of his true trump cards, the Magmortar with a body of flame. Under clear skies, its Fire-type moves will reach their peak destructive power. King Luce just took a hit from Solar Beam, and although it successfully countered with its 'super type advantage,' it was also greatly exhausted and is not in good condition. How will Time Traveler deal with this??"

Chapter 112 A Simple and Honest Otherworld, Do You Even Understand the Value of the One-Sword Insect?!

"It's a Magmortar! This is Old Master Blaine's signature Pokémon."

"Yeah, when I wanted to challenge the Crimson Gym, I gave up completely when I saw this Pokémon."

"This is an incredibly powerful Pokémon that can bathe in lava!!!"

Before the murmurs from the audience had even died down, Blaine had already swiftly given the order: "Duckbill Flame Beasts, mix the Purge Smoke with Purge Smoke and sweep them away!"

On the Crimson Lotus Arena, the Duckbill Flame Beast stomped its feet on the ground, its thick cannon-like arms suddenly vibrating. A murky, eerie purple haze billowed from its left arm, while its right arm erupted with scorching black smoke.

Two completely different yet dangerously intertwined streams of smoke instantly merged and transformed into a destructive torrent of purple and black, carrying a terrifying aura that could incinerate all life, surging towards King Ruth.

Wherever the smoke passed, even the air hissed as if it were being eroded and scorched.

Commentator: "It's a combination of Smoke Clearing and Smoke Spray!!"

The effect of the cleansing smoke was immediate. The enhanced aura around King Ruth, which had been enhanced by the previous battle, vanished in an instant, leaving him completely back to his original form. He was also burned by the flames, but this was insignificant to King Ruth.

Has the ability to rise with the wind and waves been erased?

So that's what Blaine was planning.

However, Shidou also has his own ways of dealing with this!

"King Ruth, let this battlefield become our domain... Use the Water and Sky in One Color!"

"Roar--!"

Suddenly, King Ruth roared to the sky, and a vast amount of water energy surged out of his body as if it were a tangible force. Instead of circling around him, it surged wildly towards the sky and the earth.

The azure light spread rapidly, enveloping the entire arena in the blink of an eye. The air became instantly saturated with moisture, and the ground seemed to transform into a shallow sea, shimmering with light. The entire space became a world of azure water.

Surrounded by this sudden "ocean," the Duckbill Flame Beast's flames dimmed, and the intense discomfort from the environment caused it to let out a frustrated growl.

Water and Sky in One Color: Within 2 turns, the power of water-type moves is doubled. This amplification, which is unrelated to any ability, means that pure water moves directly become doubled, just like the boost that sunny weather gives to fire-type moves.

"So he was hiding this trick!" Blaine knew that Solar Beam's power would be greatly reduced in such a dense water field, but the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. He quickly commanded, "Mammoth, Solar Beam at full power!"

Steam began to spew from the cannon barrels on the Duckbill Flame Beast's arms, forcibly drawing energy. A blinding white light gathered at the mouth of its cannon, and when the energy reached its limit, a thick beam of light was unleashed, shooting straight at King Russ.

However, the light seemed to have lost some of its intensity under the azure sky.

"I've been waiting for this move, King Ruth. Use the power of the ocean, the raging waves."

"Roar!"

King Russ slammed his giant tail into the "water surface" beneath him, and in an instant, the power of the entire water domain seemed to respond. A terrifying giant wave, far exceeding the usual size, suddenly rose up in front of him. The wave was as high as a wall, deep blue in color, containing double the power under the blessing of the water and sky merging into one. With a magnificent momentum that could engulf everything, it rushed towards the blazing sun.

The grass-type solar beam crashed into the doubled turbulent waves, and after only a moment of stalemate, it was swallowed up layer by layer by the endless power of water!

The blazing white beam of light dissipated piece by piece, while the towering wave, though its momentum only slightly diminished, surged and swept towards the astonished duck-billed fire beast with an even more terrifying force, like the wrath of a sea god!

Even before the giant wave arrived, the terrifying pressure made the Duckbill Flame Beast unable to move. All the spectators held their breath. If this attack hit, the Duckbill Flame Beast would have no chance of surviving!

"Protect!"

At the critical moment, Blaine reacted in time. The Duckbill Flame Beast crossed its arms in front of it, and the energy in its body exploded at an unprecedented speed. A tough, light green light shield instantly opened up, firmly protecting it behind it.

Almost simultaneously, a devastating wave crashed down.

"boom--!!!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire arena.

The giant wave slammed into the protective light shield, exploding into countless raging torrents of water that crashed against the seemingly thin yet indestructible barrier. The light shield rippled violently under the relentless impact of the immense force, flickering as if it were about to shatter at any moment, yet it stubbornly withstood the most ferocious first wave of impact.

Water cascaded down both sides of the light barrier, washing away the area behind the duckbill fire beast and leaving it in a mess. When the last stream of water dissipated, the pale green light barrier had fulfilled its purpose, quietly shattering and disappearing, revealing the panting duckbill fire beast behind it, clearly exhausted.

The Duckbill Flame Beast blocked the attack and barely survived the fatal blow.

Both on and off the field, even more enthusiastic exclamations and discussions immediately erupted.

Commentator: "The Duckbill Flame Beast's protection blocked it!!! However, the protection was almost broken. With the blessing of 'Water and Sky in One Color', King Ruth's 'Raging Waves' was unexpectedly powerful to an unbelievable degree. Although the Duckbill Flame Beast survived by chance, it was greatly exhausted!"

The roar from the audience almost lifted the stadium.

"That was incredible! Just looking at that wave made my legs go weak, like I was in the ocean."

"Is this the power of terrain-based moves? It completely changes the nature of Water-type moves!"

"What exactly is King Ruth's 'Water and Sky in One Color' skill? It seems to have been enhanced a lot!!"

Special Guest Seating:

Kona: "Such powerful force! This 'Water and Sky in One Color' technique reversed the unfavorable situation and even almost broke the protection. King Ruth is like a sea god descending in this area."

Yulongdu: "I wonder if my Thorn Dragon King can withstand it."

Yishu: "Luckily, Grandpa Xia Bo's Duckbill Flame Beast used its protective ability in time, otherwise this move would have ended it completely."

Such a powerful water system astonished everyone present.

But everyone knows that the battle is far from over.

On the field, Shi Dou looked at the panting duckbill fire beast and the solemn-faced Xia Bo, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, a smile that conveyed a sense of seeing through everything and having victory in his grasp.

"Your protection is used up... So now you have nowhere to hide!!! King Ruth uses — Turbulent Dragon Strike!!!"

"Roar--!!!"

As Shi Dou finished speaking, King Ruth let out a deafening roar, and the entire "Water and Sky in One Color" domain resonated with it. In an instant, the azure water light that was everywhere in the arena seemed to be summoned by a king, and it rushed toward King Ruth at an unprecedented speed.

The endless flow of water spun rapidly around it, emitting a deafening roar, and finally transformed into an enormous, azure water dragon!

This water dragon is incredibly lifelike, with its scales and claws clearly visible, its eyes emitting a terrifying blue light, and its body swirling with destructive torrents and whirlpools.

The Turbulent Dragon Strike absorbed the power of the entire "Water and Sky in One Color" arena, doubling its power to a terrifying level. The moment the water dragon appeared, the air seemed to groan, unable to withstand its immense power.

Blaine was stunned by what he saw.

This……

What kind of move is that?!?

In his haste, Blaine hurriedly commanded, "Duckbill Flame Beast, use Thunder Fist to meet the attack!"

The Duckbill Flame Beast mustered its strength, its fists erupting with dazzling golden lightning. It roared and swung its lightning-streaked fists, charging fiercely towards the sweeping water dragon.

However, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

King Russ swiftly stepped forward, and the turbulent dragon, imbued with a terrifying power of 300 points, instantly devoured the insignificant bolt of lightning with an overwhelming force. The lightning fist's resistance couldn't even last a moment, completely annihilated by the overwhelming water pressure.

next moment……

"boom!!!!!!!"

The massive water dragon's claws slammed head-on into the duck-billed fire beast!

The explosive burst of water energy created a massive, ever-expanding azure energy sphere that completely engulfed the Duckbill Flame Beast. Inside the sphere were countless rapidly spinning, cutting streams of water and terrifying pressure. The Duckbill Flame Beast didn't even have time to utter a proper scream before its body was completely drained of all its strength within the destructive core.

The energy ball slowly dissipated, turning into a torrential downpour of rain. Where the Magmar had stood, only a charred, shallow crater remained. The Magmar... had long since been blasted to the edge of the spectator stands, its figure buried under shattered rocks, completely incapacitated.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The arena, which could hold tens of thousands of people, fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared wide-eyed and gaped, looking incredulously at the scene that had been reversed in an instant.

One second, two seconds...

"Whoa!!!"

A tsunami of exclamations and murmurs erupted, almost bursting through the roof of the venue!

"Instant kill?!?"

"One move! Just one move! That was Mr. Blaine's Platypus!"

"My God! What kind of skill is that? Its power is outrageous!"

"In the boundless expanse of water and sky, King Ruth is simply invincible."

"That water jet just now... I felt suffocated even from this distance!"

The commentator exclaimed excitedly, "Incredible! Absolute power crushing! With the blessing of 'Water and Sky in One Color,' 'Turbulent Dragon Strike' displayed devastating power! Mr. Blaine's Magpie was instantly killed! Tokito and King Russo are just too amazing!!!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the referee quickly waved his flag and announced loudly, "Matmomoron is unable to battle. Please send out your next Pokémon, Blaine!"

In the VIP section, even several top-tier trainers couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Yishu: "Shidou has a good grasp of the rhythm, knowing that the time to win is after the protection is used."

Yulongdu: "After all, it is the power of a dragon."

Kona: Are you going to get involved with the dragon's power too?

Yu Longdu: "A water dragon is still a dragon!!!"

……

On the field, Blaine silently recalled the Magmortar that had lost its ability to battle. A red light flashed, and the Poké Ball fell silent. To everyone's surprise, Tokito on the other side also raised his hand and recalled the powerful King Luce.

"Oh?" Blair raised his eyes, his voice tinged with curiosity, and asked, "Why take it back? Your King Ruth has a huge advantage on the field."

Tokito carefully put the light blue spirit capsule back into his pocket and replied, "Mr. Blaine, if I'm not mistaken, the one you're about to send out is your true ace. Out of respect for you and your ace, I will also send out my original partner, my most trusted ace, to fight!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Bo was taken aback at first, then burst into a delighted laugh, saying, "Interesting, very interesting, hahaha, alright! Then let's have a contest of ace against ace!"

Commentator: "It's happened! Both players have chosen to substitute at the same time. This will be a direct confrontation between two aces. What kind of Pokémon will Mr. Blaine and Mr. Tokito bring out to fight?"

The audience erupted in cheers, everyone craning their necks, eagerly awaiting the reveal of both teams' aces.

Without hesitation, Blair swung his arm, sending a high-level ball arcing through the air. "Old buddy, it's our turn. Let's go, Incineroar!"

A flash of light appeared, and a massive, fiery beast stood proudly on the ground, its back holes constantly spewing out scorching flames and black smoke. Just by standing there, the surrounding air distorted due to the high temperature.

Typhlosion, the Volcano Pokémon, signals that it's ready to battle when the surrounding heat waves begin to ripple. It uses scorching flames to create heat waves around itself to conceal its presence.

At the same time, what appeared in Tokito's hand was not a traditional Poké Ball, but a uniquely shaped Poké Capsule. He gently pressed the button in the center and threw it forward.

"I choose you, Incaros!"

A sharp white light shot out.

As the light faded, the green-clad Incaros appeared, his blade-like arms gleaming coldly in the lamplight as he calmly locked onto his opponent.

"It's here, it's Mr. Tokito's Incaros. Has the final battle finally arrived?"
