Chapter 673 Silver Feather (4)
After their defeat in the challenge against the Koreans, the Eagle Kingdom remained cautious and did not immediately rejoin the fray, instead continuing to observe. Knowing they wouldn't secure the resources from the first round, the Sakura Kingdom, as allies of the Eagle Kingdom, sent another legendary Pokémon to weaken the Eagle Kingdom.
To counter Dracula's Steel-type, a Fire-type Pokémon was still deployed. However, not long into the battle, the titanium crystal crown on Dracula's head disappeared. An hour had passed, and Dracula, now back to his Dragon/Flying-type form, was completely immune to Fire-type moves.
Returning to its native type, Dracula's Flying-type attacks proved even more effective. In no time, the Sakura Kingdom's Pokémon fell again, Dracula achieving a five-on-one victory.
"What a familiar scene!" Jia Wencheng suddenly recalled the scene of the exchange match between Yunjiang High School and Longshan High School. Wang Qiyi's Magikarp swept ten opponents, leaving the Longshan High School team speechless. "I never thought Wang Qiyi would be so inhuman in the World Cup."
The sixth representative from Brazil failed to defeat Dracula. The seventh challenging nation was Maple Leaf Country, located in North America and famous for its Ice-type Pokémon. Their legendary Long-haired Boar possessed formidable strength. It was thought that Wang Qiyi's Salamence had reached its limit, having already used its Feather Perch skill five times, and should logically be out of the battle.
To everyone's surprise, Dracula transformed into a Titanium Crystal once again, this time a Flying-type, concealing its Dragon-type attribute. Its original four-fold weakness to Ice was now only two-fold. With a 30% boost to Flying-type moves, combined with a powerful, sustained attack, the Moorhen was defeated.
The once bustling spectator island fell silent. Everyone was stunned by the power of Wang Qiyi's Bloodwing Wyvern. If they didn't defeat it soon, none of the nations would have the face to compete for this divine resource.
The Eagle Kingdom could no longer sit still. They pressed the challenge button, and the trainer who appeared didn't take out a Poké Ball, but instead blew a whistle. A huge warrior eagle roared across the sky like a fighter jet, sweeping over everyone's heads and creating a hurricane.
The guardian deity of the Eagle Kingdom—the Warrior Eagle! Finally, the first guardian deity has appeared. The people of the Eagle Kingdom erupted in cheers upon seeing their nation's totem spirit; in their eyes, the Warrior Eagle was an invincible being.
Wang Qiyi's phone, Rotom, flew out of his pocket: "Elder Li's message, Rotom."
"Open it and take a look." Rotom projected the data in front of Wang Qiyi. Li Shining sent him the data about the Eagle Kingdom's warrior, Eagle, stored on his phone. "So efficient! It seems Elder Li has done a lot of intelligence work behind the scenes."
The Warrior Eagle is worshipped by the Eagle Kingdom and is also the national totem of the Eagle Kingdom. It possesses the strength of a high-level guardian deity and is a top-tier existence among guardian deities.
"My goodness! A high-level Guardian God! That's like playing a royal flush!" Wang Qiyi glanced at the somewhat exhausted Dracula. "Are you alright?"
"Roar!" Dracula roared fearlessly at the warrior eagle. It was bloodthirsty. What did it matter if it was a guardian god? It would slaughter a god!
The battle began, and the strength of the Guardian-level spirit was worlds apart from that of the Legendary-level spirit, a complete and utter crushing defeat on a six-dimensional scale. This was not something that Dracula's will alone could overcome, even though Dracula had performed very well, with the Warrior Eagle's three attacks, which attempted to instantly kill it upon entering the arena, all failing.
Wang Qiyi seized the opportunity and unleashed a Dragon-type Z-Move – Apocalypse Dragon Gyro. Everyone stared in disbelief, because they all knew that Z-Moves could not be used continuously, which put a great strain on both the Pokémon and the trainer. They had just seen Wang Qiyi's Dracula use a Flying-type Z-Move once, so how could he use a Dragon-type Z-Move again in such a short time?
What others don't know is that Wang Qiyi possesses powerful aura energy, which allows Dracula to recover the cooldown of his Z-Move within half an hour. The power of the World Destroyer Star Cluster has reached the level of a Guardian God, enough to injure the Warrior Eagle, and it's an area-of-effect attack with almost no chance of avoidance.
The trainer from the Eagle Kingdom shouted from the command platform, "Protect! Activate Protect!" However, his commands were ineffective, because Brave Eagle wasn't his Pokémon and ignored all his commands. He was merely a trainer appointed by the nation to specifically care for and worship Brave Eagle; Brave Eagle was his superior.
The proud and mighty eagle wouldn't cower in the face of a legendary Pokémon; it fearlessly charged forward. The delegation from the Eagle Kingdom sighed. That's the downside of wild Pokémon—they think directly, and the stronger the Pokémon, the less they care about using status moves. Their battles are all about exchanging attacks; only weaker Pokémon use status moves for survival.
Although the attack from the World-Destroying Dragon Star Cluster was incredibly powerful, like a nuclear bomb blast, leaving the battle island riddled with holes and its forests ablaze, the Warrior Eagle seemed oblivious to the onslaught. It relentlessly smashed through falling meteorites, even as they exploded on its body, it didn't flinch. Its entire body erupted in golden light, and with a single, powerful bird-like attack, it delivered the final blow to Dracula.
The Bloodwing Dragon, which had won seven consecutive matches, was defeated. However, no one thought the Bloodwing Dragon was weak; instead, everyone applauded it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Eagle Kingdom has become the second champion. The countdown to the champion's victory has begun. Does any team wish to challenge?" Host Rotom announced loudly. "Since the Dragon Kingdom was the champion in the previous round, it also has the right to challenge in this round, and its priority is higher than that of other countries."
Wang Qiyi returned to the Dragon Kingdom delegation area. He was somewhat tired after standing on the command platform for an hour. Supporting Dracula's Mega Evolution and Aura Enhancement, plus two Z-Moves, had taken a heavy toll on him. This was a long battle, lasting up to 12 hours, so he needed to rest. The Dragon Kingdom's logistics department had prepared high-quality nutritious food for him.
For Wang Qiyi, the best nutritional supplement was undoubtedly the Rainbow Energy Cubes made by Adai. He himself now had to eat Rainbow Energy Cubes to restore his Aura Power. He found this stuff very useful to him, although it didn't taste as delicious to him as it did to the elves. However, it was sweet and sour with the aroma of more than a dozen kinds of tree fruits, so the taste was acceptable.
When the Eagle Kingdom became the champion, several allies of the Dragon Kingdom also issued challenges. However, the Eagle Kingdom's warrior, the Eagle, was simply too powerful; none of the Pokémon they sent were even a match for him. These allies could only send legendary-level low-tier Pokémon to help wear him down; they couldn't possibly send their guardian deities to challenge him. Moreover, they didn't have any high-tier guardian deity Pokémon, so even if they sent their strongest guardian deity, they wouldn't be a match for the Eagle Warrior.
Currently, there are three true superpowers in the world: the Dragon Nation, the Eagle Nation, and the Bear Nation. The Eagle Nation was formerly the strongest, so the Dragon Nation and the Bear Nation were always allies. However, due to Wang Qiyi's sudden rise to power, the Dragon Nation now far surpasses the Eagle Nation in the number of guardian deities.
The Bear Kingdom also maintains an alliance with the Dragon Kingdom. Firstly, the Bear Kingdom is unaware of just how strong the Dragon Kingdom is now. Secondly, the Dragon Kingdom has assured them that it will definitely help them obtain more than three god-level resources. If they fail to obtain them, the Dragon Kingdom will seize them and give them to them to make up for the three.
Several other nations participating in the Group A competition were only aiming to secure one resource, and their guardian spirits were undoubtedly reserved to avoid the three superpowers. Now that the Eagle Nation has clearly stated its intention to acquire the first resource, they certainly won't be deploying their elves in this competition. Of course, what the other nations most want to see is the three superpowers fighting amongst themselves, exhausting their guardian spirits, thus giving them a chance. Otherwise, if the three superpowers agree to divide the 16 divine resources, they'll only be able to watch the spectacle.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on the Dragon Kingdom, and it seemed that if the Dragon Kingdom didn't step forward, the first resource would likely fall into the hands of the Eagle Kingdom, the challenge light suddenly lit up. Everyone turned to look in the direction of the Pokémon Church delegation. Mewtwo, which had been hovering in mid-air, pointed, and a golden figure behind it suddenly took flight, its radiance dimming the sky—Zetzart.
