Chapter 628 Born for the Dance of the Dragon
The moment Warhammer Dragon fell, Hyota heard the sound of his own heart pounding in his chest.
Boom, boom, boom, each sound like a war drum being struck.
Sweat trickled down his forehead, glistening faintly under the spotlight.
Li Shuwen stood at the other end of the battlefield, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if everything was under his control.
The army collapsed like a house of cards!
These five words struck Piao Tai's heart like a cold hammer.
The pride of the Rock type, the dignity of the Black Gold Gym, the Stone Will passed down from my father Bee—will all of these be destroyed here today?
"Dad said..." Piao Tai took a deep breath, his fingers brushing against the Poké Ball at his waist, "Rocks may be smoothed by water, cracked by frost, and pierced by steel—but true rock will rebuild itself after each breakage, becoming even harder."
He suddenly raised his head, a resolute flame igniting in his eyes.
"Kou-Kou! Here he comes!"
A flash of light, and the pot-shaped creature with a red shell appeared on the broken, rocky ground.
This choice caused an uproar in the audience.
"Pot? What is Master Piao Tai thinking?"
"Besides brewing wine, what else can the pot be used for?"
"That's a defensive Pokémon! We need to attack!"
The commentator excitedly analyzed, "Gym Leader Hyota made an amazing choice! With Hammer Dragon down and facing Gym Leader Li Shuwen's four powerful Pokémon yet to appear, he actually sent out Shuckle!"
"Is this a desperate act, or... a hidden trump card?"
"Retract into the shell!" Piao Tai's command was decisive.
The pot-shaped vessel quickly retracted into its hard shell, which shimmered with the blue luster of the ocean.
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening: "Interesting. Trying to use attrition tactics? Staff-tailed Armored Dragon—"
"Dragon Dance".
His instructions were soft, yet like a boulder thrown into calm water.
The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon roared to the sky, its scales reflecting light like hundreds of mirrors.
With some ancient and wild dance in mind, every step caused the ground to tremble, and every tail swing tore through the air!
One layer, two layers, in just the time it takes to breathe, the aura of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon has surged like a storm.
"Impossible!" the commentator exclaimed in disbelief. "What kind of Dragon Dance speed is that?! The Librarian's Staff-tailed Armored Dragon seems to have been born for the Dragon Dance!"
Piao Tai gritted his teeth. He felt an almost tangible sense of oppression, like a mountain pressing down on him, but he could not back down.
It's now!
Hyota's voice echoed throughout the arena, "Kochikame, Power Trick!"
Suddenly, the pot's shell burst forth with a dazzling blue light. In the light, the pot's originally clumsy body seemed to be infused with a completely new soul.
The patterns on the carapace began to flow, and a dangerous aura spread out.
"And then—" Hyota raised his right hand high and swung it down fiercely, "Rock Collapse • Skyfall!!"
This was no longer an ordinary rockfall.
The pot shot into the sky, its red shell transforming into a rocky meteor that fell to the ground.
"That's more like it!" Excitement flashed in Li Shuwen's eyes as he took a step forward. "Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, True Qi Fist!"
I originally thought that the Abandoned Monkey's True Qi Fist was already incredibly fast.
But seeing the Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon's attack, the thick white true energy that instantly covered its entire arm instantly condensed into a true energy fist on its claws.
Only then did everyone realize that there is always someone better.
"boom!!"
The pot was smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater with a diameter of more than ten meters.
Dust billowed into the sky, forming a mushroom cloud-like column of smoke!
The gourd, feeling heavy, was put back into its container, and its fingers brushed over the last two Poké Balls.
"Gronchos! Please!"
Li Shuwen also switched to his Pokémon and entered the arena, saying, "Fertile Shallot, the stage is yours now."
The elegant Cong Youbing stood with his sword drawn, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
"Grenadier, Rock Attack!"
The rumbling rock roared, and sharp stone blades burst forth from its body, shooting towards the Onion Soldiers like a storm.
The stone blade spun, emitting a piercing sound as it cut through the air!
"Break the tile!"
Onion Soldier's movements were concise and precise; his onion stalk sword transformed into a silver light curtain, and he used the tile-splitting technique with unparalleled skill.
The clanging sound was like a rapid rain, and all the stone blades were shattered into pieces the moment they touched the light barrier.
"How is that possible? They blocked them all?!"
"Not just a block," a veteran trainer said, trembling. "It's a slash! Every strike precisely hits the weakest point of the stone blade. What terrifying eyesight and control that requires!"
Li Shuwen's calm voice rang out, "Meteor Assault."
Cong Youbing bowed slightly, and then... a golden meteor streaked across the field, carving deep furrows into the ground wherever it passed.
Before Longlongyan could even react, the meteor had already passed through his body.
Time seemed to stand still for a second.
Then, the massive body of the rumbler slowly tilted backward and crashed to the ground, its eyes already showing spiral patterns.
Sold out instantly.
An absolutely overwhelming and utterly devastating victory!
Piao Tai looked at the last Poké Ball in his hand, remembering his father's words:
"Hyōta, the strength of Rock Trainers lies not in their invincibility, but in their ability to get back up no matter how many times they fall."
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all that remained in them was a calm resolve.
"Bangiras—" he whispered, "this is our last battle."
The Poké Ball was thrown, and in the light, the tyrant of the desert roared to the sky!
His appearance caused a dramatic change in the weather, and a sandstorm began to rage in the arena!
"The Ultimate Impact!"
Tyranitar erupted with a destructive purple energy, so immense that the ground beneath its feet began to collapse layer by layer.
Transforming into a purple comet, it hurtled towards the Onion Warriors, determined to destroy everything!
Li Shuwen's gaze was resolute. "Break through him! Onion Rangers, Meteor Assault!"
Golden light surged from Cong Youbing's body, his will and belief burning brightly.
The sandstorm was dispersed by the golden light, and the purple comet appeared dim in the face of the golden light.
Onion Soldier adopted a thrusting stance as his starting move.
All the golden light contracted, condensed, and compressed to the tip of the spear.
That glimmer of light was more dazzling than the sun.
"Meteor Assault—" Li Shuwen's and Cong Youbing's voices seemed to overlap.
A celestial star has fallen and perished!
Gold and purple clash.
All I could see was a thin, golden line, as thin as a hair, piercing through the purple comet and the sandstorm.
"boom!!"
The overwhelming, destructive ultimate impact was burst like a soap bubble.
A powerful energy explosion propelled Bangiras's heavy body into the sky.
It crashed heavily to the ground, stirring up waves of sand and dust.
Meanwhile, Cong Youbing calmly sheathed his longsword.
It was as if I had only done a trivial little thing.
Seeing this, Cai Zhong couldn't help but sigh.
"So, Sirfetch'd is this powerful! So... I really wasn't strong enough to make Sirfetch'd use his full strength?"
Li Shuwen stepped forward and extended his hand, "A truly admirable battle. Every one of your Pokémon fought to the very last moment."
Hyota gripped his hand tightly, a bitter smile tinged with relief: "But we still lost. However... I saw the gap, and I also saw the direction!"
"The rocks will be worn down, but they won't disappear," Li Shuwen said earnestly. "They will only become part of the earth, supporting even higher peaks, and we look forward to our next encounter."
"Definitely." A flame reignited in Hyota's eyes. "Next time, I'll greet you with an even harder rock formation."
