Chapter 734 Garchomp Evolution! The Lock-on Dragon Cluster!
"Bangilas, is it a sandstorm?"
Ash, not to be outdone, grinned and said, "Garuda, I choose you!"
A flash of white light, and Garchomp appeared in the arena.
But unlike before, it had grown noticeably larger in the year since we last saw it, and its eyes were sharper.
As an earth dragon, sandstorms are naturally ineffective against it.
"Screech!" (Is that all? Are you trying to tickle me?)
Garchomp grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, its eyes full of provocation.
Bangilas was enraged by this attitude:
"Ban!" (You little brat, you'll be crying later!)
"Tyranitar, Stone Spike!"
Ai Lan was the first to launch an attack.
Bangiras roared to the sky, and countless sharp stone blades appeared around his body.
The next second, stone blades rained down on Garchomp, blocking all escape routes!
"Use Dig!" Ash shouted almost simultaneously.
The Garchomp scrambled its front claws at an astonishing speed, burrowing into the ground in an instant and leaving a neat hole.
boom! boom! boom!
The sharp stones struck the open ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Trying to ambush me with Dig?" Alain saw through Ash's tactic at a glance: "Tyranitar, Earthquake!"
"class!"
Bangilas raised his massive foot, about to stomp down hard.
If this kick lands, the Garchomp on the ground will suffer severe damage!
"Now! Come out and use Dragon Claw!" Ash suddenly changed his command.
boom!
Just as Tyranitar lifted its foot, Garchomp suddenly burst out of the ground directly beneath it!
With its claws glowing with blue energy, the body spun upwards and struck Tyranitar squarely in the chin!
boom!
Bangilas staggered back in pain, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This little thing is so fast?
Then it stroked its chin, and a fierce expression appeared on its face:
"Ban..." (You little brat, how dare you slap me in the face!)
"Screech!" (Go ahead and hit me back if you dare!) Garchomp made a face.
This provocation thoroughly enraged Bangalore. It spewed two puffs of white breath from its nostrils.
"Calm down, Bangiras!"
Ai Lan's voice carried an undeniable air of authority:
"A wave of evil!"
Tyranitar took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and opened his mouth to spew out a dark purple energy wave, which surged toward Garchomp with a chilling malice.
"Keep using the digging technique!"
Garchomp darted underground again, its Dark Pulse attack missing its target.
Alan frowned: "Trying to do it a second time? Bangiras, earthquake!"
Bangilas raised his leg again, just then.
Boom!
Garchomp burst from the ground from another direction, its blue dragon claws gleaming coldly, aiming straight for Tyranitar's side!
But this time, both Alain and Tyranitar were prepared.
A sly glint flashed in Bangalore's eyes, and it suddenly whipped its tail.
Snapped!
Its thick tail lashed out like a whip, striking the Garchomp in mid-air with pinpoint accuracy!
Garchomp was sent flying, rolling several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
"Rockfall!" Ailan pressed his advantage.
"Banhou!"
Tyranitar raised his hand, and several rocks materialized out of thin air, crashing down towards Garchomp!
Garchomp tried to dodge, but found that the attack had slowed its movements.
boom! boom! boom!
The rocks completely covered it, forming a small pile of stones.
Bangilas nodded in satisfaction.
Done, that's a wrap.
Fight it? You'll have to train for another hundred years.
As the dust settled, the pile of rocks remained motionless.
The referee stepped forward to check and was about to announce the result, but just then...
"Now! Dragon Star Cluster!"
Ash's shout suddenly rang out!
Boom! The pile of rocks exploded!
The Garchomp leaped out, tilted its head back to the sky, and a huge ball of light condensed in its mouth, which it then shot into the sky!
Boom!
The ball of light exploded at its highest point, transforming into countless fiery meteors that cascaded down with dazzling trails of flame! The area covered the entire arena!
Ailan's expression changed: "Evil Pulse, shoot it all down!"
"Banhou...!"
Bangiras raised his head and opened his mouth to spew out an even thicker wave of dark purple energy!
An energy wave swept across the sky and collided with the Dragon Star Cluster!
boom!boom!boom!boom!
The explosions continued incessantly, and it looked as if fireworks were going off in the sky.
Wow, it's so beautiful.
In the audience, Manon couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Xiao Guang looked over and thought the girl was quite interesting. She could still appreciate the beautiful scenery during such a tense battle; she had a really good attitude.
On the field, after defeating all the Dragon Stars, Tyranitar was just about to catch his breath.
"Dragon God Dives!"
Ash's voice rang out again.
Garchomp was enveloped in blue Dragon-type energy, transforming into a flying dragon phantom and charging toward Tyranitar at an astonishing speed!
The dragon star cluster was just a cover; the dragon god's dive was the real killing move.
Ai Lan immediately realized:
"Tyranitar, use Crunch to hold on!"
A fierce glint flashed in Tyranitar's eyes, and black energy teeth materialized in his mouth as he charged head-on towards the Dragon God!
Boom!
The explosion rang out suddenly, and the shockwave spread in all directions, with even the audience seats feeling the strong wind!
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Bangilas stood still, looking down at its chest, where there was a deep dent, the very spot where the dragon god had struck it during its swooping attack.
Then, its massive body swayed and crashed to the ground.
"Tyranitar is unable to battle! Garchomp wins!" the referee announced loudly.
"We won!" Ash cheered, clenching his fist.
"Roar!" Garchomp jumped up excitedly and did a somersault in the air.
Then... its body was suddenly enveloped in white light!
"This is..." Xiao Zhi was stunned.
"Evolution! Garchomp is evolving!"
The commentator shouted excitedly.
In the arena, Garchomp began to emit a dazzling light of evolution!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, its size increased dramatically, its arms transformed into sharper shark fins, its dorsal fin stood up like a blade, and the aura emanating from the entire Pokémon was several times stronger than before!
"strong....!"
Garchomp roared, looking up at the sky with confidence in its eyes.
Now it has everything it needs!
In the audience, Serena covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Garuda has evolved into Garchomp!"
"Time flies," Xiaowang exclaimed. "Back when I traveled with Xiaozhi, I was just a little Gible, and I was wobbly when I walked."
Serena then remembered that the person next to her was a senior from the Sinnoh region who had traveled with Ash even earlier than her.
"Congratulations on your Garchomp evolving, Ash."
On the sidelines, Alain recalled Tyranitar, a genuine smile on his face.
"Thank you! But the match isn't over yet!" Ash smiled brightly.
Although he doesn't force Pokémon to evolve, he's naturally happier than anyone else when Pokémon evolve.
“Of course.” Alain tossed out a new Poké Ball: “It’s yours, Bisharp Commander!”
A figure as sharp as a blade appeared on the field.
The blades that cleaved through the Commander's arms gleamed coldly as it looked at the newly evolved Garchomp, a hint of provocation flashing in its eyes.
"Chop!" (You newly evolved brat, let me teach you what real combat is.)
Garchomp grinned, revealing its sharp teeth: "Garchomp!" (Oh? That guy with the blade arm looks pretty arrogant. Don't blame the slippery ground if you lose.)
The two Pokémon locked eyes, creating a tense atmosphere.
Ash was the first to attack: "Garuda, Dragon Claw!"
Garchomp's fins glowed green as it transformed into a blur and hurtled toward Slash Commander at an even faster speed than before its evolution!
"Metal claws," Ai Lan commanded calmly.
The commander's arms flashed with silver light as he charged forward instead of retreating, meeting the attack head-on!
clang!!!
The sickle clashed with the blade, sparks flying!
Garchomp clearly had the upper hand in terms of strength, and Slash Commander was forced to take a half step back by the impact.
However, it was extremely experienced in combat. It immediately turned to the side to deflect the force, and then took advantage of the momentum to step forward, its blade piercing the gap in the Garchomp's chest armor!
"Garuda, back off!"
Xiao Zhi shouted quickly.
Garchomp reacted extremely quickly, leaping back to avoid the attack, but a white mark was still left on its chest armor.
"Slay the Commander, Sword Dance!" Ai Lan's command rang out again.
"hack!"
Commander Pi Zhan spun around, his blade tracing a silver arc in the air!
Its attack power increases with each rotation, and its momentum grows stronger.
"We can't let it get stronger! Garchomp, use Dragon Claw to interrupt it!"
Ash, of course, wouldn't let this go unchecked and wanted to interrupt Swords Dance.
"A sneak attack on vital points!" Ai Lan reacted even faster.
Garchomp once again gathered its dragon claws, this time drawing a zigzag pattern in the air at incredible speed.
But Commander Slash remained unusually calm, his blood-red eyes fixed on Garchomp's every move.
Just as the dragon claw was about to strike!
Suddenly, the Commander of the Slashing Blade crouched down, and with a powerful upward thrust of its blade, it aimed directly at the Garchomp's unsuspecting abdomen!
"Garuda, get out of the way!" Ash used his classic Rejuvenation Roar.
Garchomp twisted its body forcefully in mid-air, the steel blade narrowly grazing its belly, leaving a shallow mark.
After landing, it touched its belly with lingering fear.
"Roar..." (That was close! I almost got ripped open! That guy's ruthless!)
"Slash the Commander! Use continuous sneak attacks on vital points!"
Commander Pi Zhan transformed into several black shadows, darting swiftly across the field like a ninja, appearing and disappearing unpredictably each time he appeared, launching an attack from the most cunning angle.
Garchomp was overwhelmed and, despite its best efforts to defend itself, it continued to sustain more and more wounds.
In the audience, Clemont frowned: "Cleave has the advantage in speed and technique. Garchomp has just evolved and is not yet used to its new body. If this continues, it will be worn down."
Yulijia added, "Then isn't Ash in danger?"
On the field, Alain spotted the moment when Garchomp's movements slowed down:
"The final blow, a chop to the commander, with his iron head!"
The Commander of the Slashing Spear's head gleamed with a metallic sheen as it charged toward Garchomp like a cannonball!
"Garuda, bite it!"
Ash's command was unexpected.
"What?" Ai Lan was stunned.
Commander Pi Zhan was also stunned.
Bite it? Bite where? It's made entirely of steel! Do you have such strong teeth?
The next second, Garchomp answered that question with its actions.
Instead of dodging, it opened its mouth wide and bit down on the Commander's head!
clang--!
Garchomp bit into Bisharp's steel head, the sickening sound echoing throughout the arena.
In the audience, Xiao Wang sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "It's still like this after evolving... no, it's gotten even worse."
Serena couldn't help but chuckle: "But that's just Ash's style."
Clemont couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Indeed, Ash's commands are always so... creative."
On the field, the Commander of the Slashing Blade struggled desperately:
"Crack!" (Let go! Is this a place you can bite?)
Garchomp held on tightly, its eyes defiant: "Garchomp..." (Go ahead and pull it out if you dare! Weren't you so arrogant just now!)
"Use Dragon Star Cluster like this!"
Ash's commands continued.
"No, wait a minute!" Ai Lan's expression changed drastically.
Even with his extensive experience, his thought process was struggling to keep up with Ash's outrageous actions.
Garchomp gripped Slash Commander tightly, then tilted its head back to the sky, a bright light gathering at its throat.
The sight of him holding a cleaver in his mouth was indescribably bizarre.
Commander Pi Zhan panicked:
"Crack!" (Wait! What are you doing? Amelia!! You can't do this!)
Garchomp got even more excited and launched its energy ball on the spot!
Boom!
The ball of light exploded in mid-air, and along with the cleaving commander in its mouth, it turned into a sky full of meteors and crashed down!
boom! boom! boom!
After the smoke and dust cleared, Commander Pi Zhan lay on the ground, his body charred black, his eyes darting around.
The referee paused for two seconds before reacting: "Bisharp is unable to battle! Garchomp wins!"
"Garuda, we won again!"
Ash excitedly ran over, grabbed Garchomp, and started lifting it high in the air.
Wait, how did he pick him up? Can a person be that strong?
Garchomp looked down at its trainer, lost in philosophical thought.
