Chapter 908 - 478: Crushing Victory, the Dark Queen Appears! MEGA Gardevoir VS Goodra_2
"Big Bang was already my last resort. Even if it couldn’t take down the opponent, it should have severely injured him, yet your Charizard just endured it and hardly took any damage."
"After this battle, I’ve lost three Pokemon, while none of yours have fallen. Even against Leon, I wasn’t this pathetic!"
Raihan shook his head helplessly, but soon regained his composure.
He’s not the type to quickly give up when pushed to his limits.
"However, this match is far from over. As long as I have one Pokemon left, this match isn’t over!!"
He took out the fourth Pokeball from his waist.
"Come out, Goodra!"
After the light faded, a large dragon-type Pokemon landed steadily on the field.
She was tall and robust, over two meters high, covered with a layer of smooth purple skin.
Her skin was glossy as if waxed, every inch gleaming with a soft luster. Two powerful antennae atop her head seemed to be sensing every movement in the air.
Her cute face wore a subdued expression, yet the aura she exuded was in stark contrast to that face.
Goodra, a monster-level existence among dragon Pokemon known for its resilience and terrifying physical strength.
Lance looked at the massive purple figure on the field, his expression turning solemn.
"This one is tough to deal with."
He whispered to the people beside him.
"Judging by the order Raihan dispatched his Pokemon, this Goodra should already be a higher-tier Pokemon in his team. Regarding level... I sensed it might be Champion Advanced Level, among the upper-middle in his team."
"It seems this guy is getting serious."
Cynthia nodded, a hint of understanding flashing in her golden eyes.
"A Trainer that can battle with Leon surely isn’t just at that level. Raihan’s true trump card hasn’t been revealed yet; let’s see how Ash will respond next."
Clair frowned, instinctively analyzing: "Although Charizard suffered some injuries, it shouldn’t be a major issue for it."
"Plus, the previous Dragon Dance is still in effect, and Charizard X is itself Dragon Type, so against Goodra, it inherently has a slight advantage."
"Ash might continue using Charizard, right?"
Cynthia didn’t answer; she just turned her gaze toward Ash on the field.
The boy wore a smile, looking at Charizard with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"Charizard, come back."
"?"
Charizard on the field abruptly turned its head upon hearing this.
Its fierce eyes were full of astonishment at this moment. It pointed to its chest with Dragon Claw, then glanced at Goodra on the other side of the field, with a clearly unwilling expression.
’I haven’t had enough yet! I’m still full of physical strength and can keep fighting!’
Ash couldn’t help but show a helpless smile.
"Charizard, others in the team need to play too. You’ve already defeated one; give other teammates a chance."
"Unless the next teammate gets knocked down, stay obediently here."
Charizard, hearing this, let out a noticeably disgruntled roar.
"Roar roar roar!"
It flicked its tail, making the blue flames sway a few times.
Ash understood Charizard’s words — ’If I knew, I’d have come out last to fight more.’
Ash sighed and patted Charizard’s head: "Okay, next time, you’ll fight to your heart’s content; for now, step back."
"I don’t have your Pokeball on me. Just watch for now."
Only then did Charizard reluctantly fly to the field’s edge, folding its wings and lying down without speaking, but its eyes were fixed on the field.
Goodra’s strength is formidable; even for it now, it’s not easy to deal with.
So... There’s still a chance Ash’s next Pokemon might fail.
It’s just unknown which Pokemon Ash will use next.
Ash smiled helplessly, taking out the fourth Pokeball from his waist.
"It’s decided, Gardevoir!!"
The light slowly gathered on the other end of the field, and an elegant figure appeared on the field.
Her body still wore that long white dress, but her hair, which was meant to be green, now glimmered with a cool sky blue.
Inside of the dress’s hem was also sky blue, creating a fresh and elegant contrast with her snow-white body.
The orange-red pupils slowly opened; Shiny Gardevoir was here!
In the stands, Clair widened her eyes instantly.
She had finally waited for this moment.
Not long ago, this Shiny Gardevoir instantly defeated her ace Champion Dragonair, without her even seeing the shadows of the opponent’s power.
That battle felt like a gust of wind to her, ending before her reaction.
Now, it’s alright, Gardevoir is back on stage, and she can finally explore it thoroughly.
With Charizard’s strength, what about this Gardevoir?
On the side of the field, Charizard, seeing Gardevoir appear, rolled its eyes immediately and turned its head to the other side, deciding not to watch.
Nothing to watch, wake up to another victory.jpg.
You’ve used Gardevoir; what else can I say? Resting!
"Wow—Ash, you’re loaded with rare Pokemon, Gardevoir is already rare enough, and a Shiny Gardevoir, the odds of encountering one are less than one in a million!"
"Did you secretly steal all the good luck from Trainers worldwide?"
Ash shrugged, smiling awkwardly: "It’s just good luck, can’t help it."
If Raihan knew, this Gardevoir even had the potential of Six S-level, his expression would be different.
Now there’s still some teasing; if he knew the truth... he might want to dissect Ash to see what’s inside.
Raihan waved his hand, setting up a combat stance again: "However, even rare Pokemon must be judged by strength. A beautiful queen looks nice, but despite her beauty, whether she can fight is another matter."
"Though Gardevoir’s Fairy Type targets Dragon Type, for me and Goodra, dealing with Fairy Type Pokemon is commonplace. Be careful."
Ash grinned. "Whether it’s vegetarian, you’ll know after trying."
He raised the glove with the Key Stone, and the Power of Viridian inside him surged into the Key Stone again.
"Gardevoir, MEGA Evolution!"
The Key Stone burst forth with dazzling colors, and the Evolution Stone on Gardevoir’s chest also shone with the same brilliance.
The beams intertwined in mid-air, enveloping Gardevoir’s slender figure completely in the Evolutionary Light.
After the light faded, a transformed Gardevoir appeared before everyone.
Her original long white dress swiftly changed to a deep, elegant black ball gown.
The hem of that gown expanded outward into a fluffy star-shaped petal, her whole aura completely shifted from being fresh and elegant to a noble and mysterious dark queen’s presence.
MEGA Gardevoir!
The pressure she exuded was nearly equal to that of Goodra opposite her.
Thanks to MEGA Evolution, Gardevoir can match Charizard, reaching Champion Advanced Level!
"What the heck!?" Raihan looked at the renewed figure on the field, about to collapse, "No kidding Ash, you can still MEGA evolve your Pokemon?!"
"Lucario, Charizard, now Gardevoir, it’s already the third one! How many Pokemon can you MEGA evolve?!"
Ash scratched his head, showing a sunny smile: "So theoretically speaking... as long as my Power of Viridian is sufficient, the Key Stone’s energy will be inexhaustible."
"With my current Power of Viridian, supporting MEGA evolution for at least six Pokemon isn’t an issue."
