Chapter 758 Your golden flash is truly delightful!
The arena was packed the next day.
Dianci stood on one side of the field, full of vigor.
He wore a brand new jacket today, his hair was combed like an adult's, and he looked like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
From the stands, Daiya yelled at the top of his lungs, "Denji! Don't embarrass the Yellow Flash!"
Melissa opened her fan, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"The match begins!" The referee waved his flag.
Electric throws out the Poké Ball.
Raichu emerged from the white light. The Raichu appeared somewhat slender, but was actually all muscle, brimming with explosive power.
Its fur shimmered with a golden sheen, and the electric sacs on its cheeks crackled.
With all four feet on the ground and sharp eyes.
Li Shuwen raised his hand and threw out the Poké Ball.
The Electrified Beast emerged from the white light, its two thick tails swaying behind it, and its fists clashed together, producing a dull thud.
"Raichu, dig a hole!" Denji ordered.
Raichu frantically dug at the ground with all four legs, sending dirt flying, and in the blink of an eye, it burrowed into the ground.
The digging speed was astonishing; a winding ridge of earth rose from the ground, rapidly approaching the electric monster.
"I pounded my arms on the ground," Li Shuwen said calmly.
The electric monster raised its arms high and then slammed them down on the ground like two giant hammers!
boom!
A cloud of earth exploded on the ground, and the shockwave spread in all directions.
The earthen mound suddenly exploded three meters away from the Electrified Beast, and Raichu rushed out from underground in advance to avoid the shockwave from the ground slam.
His right fist glowed with an earthy yellow light, and the power of the earth gathered at the tip of his fist before blasting it towards the electric monster.
The Electivire's tail suddenly extended, and a white light, capable of splitting tiles, gathered at the tip of its tail to meet the attack head-on.
boom!
The fists collided, creating a shockwave.
Raichu used the momentum to retreat and burrowed underground again.
In the audience, someone exclaimed, "Using its tail to split tiles? Impossible! How is that possible?!"
Denji decisively gave the order, "Thunder!"
The ground began to shake violently, and cracks spread from the earthen mound in all directions.
Golden lightning bolts shone through the crack.
boom!
The earth cracked open, and countless clods of earth, crackling with golden lightning, shot towards the electric monster like cannonballs.
The electric monster swung its fists and two tails simultaneously, splitting tiles into countless afterimages, shattering the flying clods of earth one by one.
"Raichu, come back." Denji recalled Raichu, a smile playing on his lips. "Rotom, it's yours now!"
Rotom emerged from the light, his body transforming into a dazzling golden ball of electricity, hovering in mid-air.
The electric ball spun at high speed, drawing a strange trajectory in the air.
It moves erratically, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes up, sometimes down, with no discernible pattern.
As it moved, golden lightning surged and coalesced on the surface of the sphere, while the dark energy of the Shadow Sphere was nurtured within the lightning.
"Shadowball!" Denji's voice was filled with excitement.
Rotom completed the recharge while moving, and a jet-black shadow ball shot out from the electric orb, hitting the Electrified Beast precisely on the back!
boom!
The electric monster staggered forward two steps after being blasted, and several scorch marks appeared on its back.
"High-speed stars," Li Shuwen ordered.
With a flick of its tail, Electivire unleashed a torrent of golden, star-shaped sparks that rained down on Rotom in the air.
Rotom's body suddenly shrank, transforming into an even smaller ball of electricity, which darted through the gaps in the high-speed stars.
The dense specks of light swept past him, but none of them hit him.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the Electrified Beast's body as it charged, its aura beginning to rise.
"Shadow of the Night," Denji said in a low voice.
Rotom's body exploded into a dark shadow, which flew rapidly toward the Shock Beast.
Li Shuwen narrowed his eyes. "100,000 volts, detonate."
Golden lightning crackled from the Electabuzz's fists as a thick arc of 100,000 volts shot straight into the dark shadow.
boom!
The shadowy figure was detonated, and the hidden will-o'-the-wisps exploded in the lightning, turning into a sky full of eerie blue sparks.
Sure enough, will-o'-the-wisps were hidden in the shadows of the night.
Having watched Hyota's battle, Denji couldn't possibly let such a useful technique slip by.
"Replace the volt," Li Shuwen said calmly.
Electivire unleashed a bolt of lightning at Rotom in mid-air, then its body transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and returned to its Poké Ball.
Li Shuwen raised his hand and threw out another Poké Ball, and Lucario appeared from the white light.
Rotom remained in its electric ball form, moving erratically in the air.
Its trajectory was even more bizarre than before, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes left, sometimes right, leaving behind streaks of golden afterimages.
"Strike wildly with bone clubs, at lightning speed!" Li Shuwen ordered.
Lucario closed his eyes, and the power of his aura spread outwards like a tide.
Every move Rotom made left a clear trace in his perception.
With his right hand clenched loosely, a blue bone rod materialized in his palm.
Then... a lightning-fast burst of speed!
The figure disappeared from the spot.
The next second, the bone club slammed into Rotom's electric ball.
boom!
Rotom was thrown sideways several meters by the impact, but instead of falling, he used the force to accelerate, drawing an even more bizarre arc in the air.
Lucario vanished again, and the bone club slammed down once more.
boom!
boom!
boom!
No matter how Rotom moves, Lucario's bone club always hits him accurately.
The azure bone club seemed to have eyes, striking the electric ball at its weakest point with every swing.
"Lightning!" Dianci's voice rose.
Rotom's speed suddenly increased.
It transformed into a dazzling golden ball of electricity, trailing a long tail of light, drawing brilliant streaks of light in the air.
The speed was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to capture it; the audience could only see streaks of golden light weaving across the arena.
Lucario's movements were equally lightning-fast.
One blue and one gold, two beams of light collided repeatedly in the air, each collision exploding into a blinding burst of lightning.
The scene was like a dance of light and shadow, dazzling yet deadly.
A boy covered his head, his eyes wide open. "I can't tell... I really can't tell!"
Those around them were equally stunned. "It's too fast... my eyes can't keep up!"
After another violent collision, Rotom's electric ball scattered and shot high into the sky.
Lucario landed on the ground, its bone clubs scattered, and its legs plowed two deep tracks as it landed.
"Electric Ball!"
Rotom swooped down from the sky, and the electric orb condensed around it, transforming into a huge golden orb of light with a diameter of more than one meter.
The speed was so fast that space itself was slightly distorted wherever it passed.
"Swallow Returns!"
Lucario's figure transformed into an arc, both eerie and graceful, narrowly avoiding the edge of the golden orb.
Lucario swung his fist, the force of the wind gathering on his knuckles, and blasted it towards Rotom.
Rotom's body suddenly contracted, and the fist grazed the edge of the electric ball, missing its target.
The two Pokémon landed at the same time, panting heavily.
Lucario's body trembled slightly, and his eyes shone even brighter than before.
Li Shuwen sensed the aura surging from Lucario's body.
Like a tide, like a raging fire, like a volcano about to erupt.
it's time!
Li Shuwen closed his eyes, and the power of his aura surged from his body, intertwining and resonating with Lucario's aura in the air.
Blue light burst forth from Lucario's body, growing brighter and stronger until it enveloped its entire form.
"Lucario—" Li Shuwen opened his eyes, a burst of blue light flashing within them, "Mega Evolution!"
A burst of light!
Lucario's form stretched and changed in the light, his hair became longer, blue lines appeared on his forehead, and the aura between his palms condensed into a tangible halo.
Denji's eyes widened. "No Mega Stone or Key Stone... Mega Evolution?!"
A gasp rippled through the audience. "What's that? How did Lucario's form change?"
"What kind of power is this...?"
Li Shuwen's voice was calm, "Without Mega Stones or Key Stones, I will surpass Mega Stones and Key Stones!"
Denji clenched his fist. "Rotom—show them our full power!"
Rotom roared to the sky, his body transforming once again into a golden ball of electricity.
The electric sphere was more dazzling and solid than before, like a miniature sun.
It spun in the air, faster and faster, and the surrounding space began to distort.
Rotom swooped down from the sky. The golden sun, trailing a long tail of light, crashed into Lucario.
Lucario knelt on one knee, placing his hands on the ground. The power of the earth surged from the ground and condensed into a huge bone club in his hands.
Facing the setting sun, he swung his bone club fiercely.
boom--!!!
A golden light exploded, and the shockwave that engulfed the entire arena ripped up layer after layer from the ground in the center of the arena.
People in the audience raised their hands to shield their eyes.
Melissa's eyes lit up, and the fan in her hand stopped in mid-air.
"This power...this beauty...art must be this dazzling to be truly captivating!"
As the light faded, Rotom lay at the bottom of the pit, his eyes closed and his body charred black.
Lucario knelt by the pit, its Mega Evolution form dissipated, panting heavily, its body covered in wounds.
Rotom has lost his ability to fight.
Lucario managed to stand up, but he had almost no strength left.
Li Shuwen retrieved Lucario. "Thank you for your hard work."
He retrieved Rotom and took a deep breath.
There was no frustration in his eyes, only an even more fervent fighting spirit. "Electric Beast, I'm counting on you!"
The two tails of the Electrified Beast spun wildly behind it, and electric currents jumped across its body.
Millerdon emerged from the white light, purple electricity leaping across his body.
Hovering in mid-air, looking down at the Electrified Beast.
"Electromagnetic levitation, electric light!" Dianci's voice was like thunder.
The Electrified Beast's body glowed with golden electromagnetic light and floated in mid-air.
The tail's rotation speed suddenly increased, and the electric current condensed into two golden halos at the tip of the tail.
Like a high-speed tank, it charged towards Millerton in the air.
His fists were imbued with deep, cold energy, and the icy blue light of the Freeze Fist flowed across his knuckles.
"Dragon God Dives." Li Shuwen's voice was calm.
Milton flicked his tail, and deep blue dragon energy surged wildly from his body, enveloping his entire form.
Transforming into a ferocious ancient dragon, it swooped down to meet the charging figure!
boom!!
The Electrified Beast was pushed back to the ground, its tail spinning wildly, with electricity exploding at the tip. Electromagnetic levitation stabilized its body, preventing it from crashing into the ground.
"Dragon's Wave," Li Shuwen commanded.
Millerton opened his mouth, and a long purple dragon spewed out.
Electivire barely managed to unleash a 100,000-volt attack to counter, the golden arc of electricity colliding with the purple dragon. But it was defeated in less than two seconds.
The Dragon Pulse struck Electivire, blasting him away.
Li Shuwen's lips curled into a smile. "Your golden glitter is truly delightful."
I never imagined that Denki would develop so many cutting-edge technologies.
He raised his hand. "Millardon, let them see our speed too. Dragon God Dive!"
Milton flicked its tail, and its body flashed with intense blue-silver lightning.
It transformed into a streak of blue-silver lightning and swooped down towards the electric monster.
It moved at an extreme speed, yet the air around it remained completely silent, like a ghost.
"Ultimate Impact!" Denji's voice was hoarse.
The Electrified Beast's tail spun to its limit, and electricity exploded on its body, transforming into a golden bolt of lightning that met the descending blue-silver electric light head-on.
Two bolts of lightning collided in mid-air.
boom!!!
Golden and blue-silver lightning clashed violently, slamming the Electrified Beast back into the ground and creating a deep crater.
Milton flew back into the sky, swaying slightly before managing to steady himself.
He squinted and began to dance.
Dragon Dance!
The momentum gradually increased.
"Pursue! Dragon God, dive!" Li Shuwen's voice was calm.
Milton once again transformed into a blue-silver lightning bolt and swooped down.
The sound of electric shock echoed throughout the arena. "Electromagnetic Beast—Stand up! We've trained so long, sweated so much, not to fall here!"
"Stand up!!!"
The electric monster's eyes snapped open.
Its tail was spinning wildly, and its arms were spinning wildly!
The electric current exploded on the body surface, stimulating every muscle.
He sprang up from the pit, his fists glowing with the white light of explosive fists, soaring into the sky to meet the descending blue-silver lightning.
Explosive Fist!
It collided with the Dragon God's dive, and after a brief stalemate, the Explosive Fist was shattered.
The blue-silver lightning bolt, carrying the electric monster, crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater.
A blue-silver shockwave exploded across the earth, sending debris flying and dust billowing into the sky.
When the smoke cleared, the electric monster lay at the bottom of the pit with its eyes closed.
Milton hovered in the air, coldly watching the fallen Electrified Beast, and nodded slightly.
That is the recognition of one strong person by another.
Thunderous applause erupted from the stands. "Electrakiboa was already strong, but Milton's power was simply unfair..."
Dianci recalled the electric monster and took a deep breath.
All he had left was Raichu, his last hope.
"Dig a hole," Dian ordered.
Raichu burrowed underground again, and the earthen mound rapidly approached the Electrified Beast.
"Electrical site," Li Shuwen ordered.
The Electrified Beast slammed its fists into the ground, unleashing a burst of golden electricity that spread outwards, covering the entire arena.
Raichu burst out from underground and punched Electivire.
The Electabuzz was sent flying by the punch.
But then golden electric light emanated from his body, drawing current from the electrical field and allowing him to easily adjust his posture.
Its tail suddenly stretched out and lashed out at Raichu.
Raichu's tail gleamed with a metallic sheen as it charged forward with its Iron Tail.
boom!
The two tails collided, exploding into a burst of lightning.
Raichu was knocked back, and Electivire flipped in the air before landing steadily.
"Iron Tail Combo!" Denji's voice rose.
Raichu's tail transformed into countless afterimages, lashing out at Electivire like a torrential downpour.
The Electivire's tail also blurred into afterimages as it met the attack head-on.
boom!boom!boom!boom!
The dense collisions sounded like drums, and each collision exploded into a burst of golden lightning.
"Split the tiles," Li Shuwen ordered.
The Electric Demon's fists joined the battle.
With two hands and two tails, four attacks poured down simultaneously.
Raichu only has one tail, which can't block that many attacks.
Raichu was sent flying by a tile-splitting blow, sliding several meters away.
Denji's eyes reddened. "Raichu, Giga Impact!"
Raichu's body crackled with golden electricity, and the speed and power of the Ultimate Impact were amplified to their maximum by the electric light.
It transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and charged towards the electric monster.
It was so fast that even its afterimage was invisible; only a dazzling golden light remained.
"The Ultimate Impact," Li Shuwen said calmly.
The electric monster opened its arms, and all the current from the electric field surged into its body.
All the electricity coalesced into a single, even thicker golden lightning bolt, which met the attack head-on.
Two golden bolts of lightning collided in mid-air, exploding with golden light and turning the entire area gold.
In the light, two figures were locked in a fierce struggle. Raichu's Ultimate Charge gained the upper hand first, pushing Electivire backward.
But Electivire didn't give up; it continued to absorb the electricity from the Electric Field.
With a sudden burst of strength, he finally broke through Raichu's ultimate attack.
Golden lightning pierced through Raichu's body, blasting him away.
Raichu crashed to the ground, his eyes tightly shut.
The Electrified Beast stood in the center of the arena, panting heavily, its body charred black, but its eyes bright.
The entire audience erupted in deafening applause.
Denji retrieved Raichu, looked up at Li Shuwen, and smiled.
"Your strength is indeed superior."
Li Shuwen nodded. "The speed of the golden flash also impressed me."
As Denji walked off the court, Daiya went up to him and patted him on the shoulder. "Well played."
Denji gave a wry smile. "We still lost."
Big Leaf shook his head. "Winning or losing isn't important. What's important is that you and your Pokémon fought to the very last moment."
