Chapter 711 Thunder God in the Rainstorm, Thunder Drum 3-Minute Speedrun!
The moment she finished speaking, Diantha threw out her Poké Ball first:
"I'm counting on you for the first battle, Nume-ryu!"
boom!
The Poké Ball opened, and a round Pokémon covered in a slimy skin appeared.
"It's Nume-ryu! One of Karuno-san's signature moves!"
"Go, Nume Ryu! Karuno-san will win!"
"Let the visiting trainers see how powerful Carlos is!"
Carlos was greeted with cheers from the crowd.
Nian Meilong scratched his head a little embarrassedly with his short arms, thinking to himself:
The pressure is immense, but I will do my best for everyone!
"Then I'll leave my first one to you."
On the other side, Xiaoyun threw out her Poké Ball almost simultaneously.
boom!
"Hurry up and shout!!"
Unlike the gentleness of the Nume Dragon, a roar as loud as thunder exploded out.
A long neck and limbs as thick as pillars.
Its body was covered with ferocious, lightning-like stripes, and crackling golden electric snakes sprang from its body.
The air seemed to be filled with an electric charge because of its appearance, making one's scalp tingle!
The Three Sacred Beasts of Ancient Times: The Mighty Thunder Drum!
"Th-what kind of Pokémon is that?!"
"Looks so strong! Just looking at them makes my legs go weak!"
"It's that one with the weird shape, it looks like a mutated Qilin."
The audience erupted in uproar; they had never seen the primitive and rugged form of the Meng Lei drum before.
It looks exactly like an ancient monster that stepped straight out of mythology.
"This is a species I've never seen before! What a terrifying sense of oppression!"
Dorasena frowned slightly on the high platform. As a Dragon-type Elite Four member, she was particularly sensitive to the Dragon-type aura emanating from Thunder Drum.
Ancient, murky, and full of destructive intent.
But I've never seen it before.
Patricia adjusted her glasses and analyzed:
"Somewhat similar to the Three Holy Beasts, but also different, or perhaps another unrecorded form?"
"Is this the Thunder God? Something feels off about it."
Ash scratched his head, unable to recognize what kind of Pokémon it was for a long time.
Serena covered her mouth and exclaimed, "But it's so oppressive! Just looking at it makes my heart race."
"Is this the new Pokémon that Xiaoyun caught?"
Xiao Wang's gaze swept over Meng Lei Gu.
"This is an ancient species of one of the three legendary beasts. Xiaoyun and I caught it together. It was very easy."
Ah Xun spoke casually, completely forgetting that he was also shocked when he first saw the Thunder Drum.
"Easy?"
Xiao Wang glanced at him sideways.
Ha, I don't believe you for a second.
As for Karuno herself, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes the moment the Thunder Drum appeared.
As expected of someone who could defeat Zhi Mi and Yan Kai, he certainly had some surprising trump cards up his sleeve.
"Nianmeilong, pray for rain!"
Without hesitation, Nian Meilong looked up, and an energy ball shot straight up to the dome!
Dark clouds gathered at a visible speed, and a light drizzle began to fall.
"Knowing that we are from the Department of Electrical Engineering, you still used the Rain Prayer. Aren't you looking down on us too much?"
Xiao Yun tilted his head slightly. Although he didn't understand Karuno's thoughts, he respected them.
Anyway, he's not the one who's going to suffer a loss.
"thunder!"
On rainy days, thunder is guaranteed to strike!
Boom! !
No need to build up strength, the dark clouds are already there.
A terrifying golden lightning pillar, ridiculously thick and resembling Thor's spear, crashed down!
Rumble!
The violent lightning instantly enveloped the Good Dragon.
"This... Xiaoyun didn't just win like that, did he?"
Ah Xun opened his mouth, and was hit by lightning. Even if the Nume Dragon was a quasi-god, he would be seriously injured if not crippled!
However, Xiaoyun keenly noticed that there was no worried look on Karuno's face.
He followed the gaze.
All that could be seen was that rings of crystal-clear water had appeared around the Nume Dragon.
Water circulation!
It continuously restores its strength and relies on the conductivity and fluidity of water to disperse and guide lightning!
Only a small portion of the lightning penetrated the defense, but it was quickly healed by the water ring.
"Using water flow rings to guide and isolate lightning, while simultaneously utilizing their healing effects to restore damage? Is this the reason for daring to use rainmaking?"
Xiaoyun instantly understood the reason.
This usage reminded him of wind and dew, and she liked this usage.
"Yes, it works very well."
Karuno smiled slightly. Trying to cast Rain Dance on an Electric-type opponent without some skill is just asking for trouble, isn't it?
"Nian Meilong, it's our turn, Zhuoliu!"
"Woo-hoo!"
With the added benefit of the rain, the sticky dragon immediately spewed out a violent torrent mixed with mud!
The turbid waves swept towards the Thunder Drum like a tidal wave, covering a vast area and almost completely blocking any space for escape.
"No matter how much water there is, it's useless in the face of lightning."
Xiaoyun's eyes narrowed; she still chose to confront him head-on.
"One more time, thunder!"
"Drink it out!"
The Thunder Drum roared, and the mane around its neck burst forth with even more dazzling lightning!
Boom--!!!
The violent lightning bolt struck again, hitting the very center of the turbid stream with pinpoint accuracy!
A deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire stadium!
The moment the turbid current came into contact with the lightning, it was instantly evaporated by the terrifying heat, turning into a white cloud of steam that spread out.
The remaining lightning power pierced through the steam and struck Goodra again, but it was mostly neutralized by the rotating water rings.
"Such powerful electric energy!"
Karuno was alarmed; the power exceeded her expectations, and the Water Ring's recovery was almost unable to keep up with the damage.
She immediately changed her approach:
"Goodra, don't give up! Dragon Pulse!"
"Whoosh!" The Gooey Dragon began to gather its strength, and purple dragon-type energy converged in its mouth.
With the sustain provided by the Water Ring, Goodra is confident it can hold its own even against legendary Pokémon.
It's just a matter of attrition; let's see who can outlast whom.
"Don't even think about it! Thunder Drum, use Swift Thunder!"
Xiaoyun won't give her a chance to output output safely.
Meng Lei Gu stomped his front foot hard on the ground!
Boom!
A thunderous sound followed.
The next instant, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the thunderclouds!
Boom!
Nianmeilong could only flash by in the air as a blinding yellow streak.
The next second, it landed on it.
"What a quick attack!"
Karuno was startled; the speed was almost beyond her reaction limit.
Fortunately, it was only fast; its power was not enough to break through the defensive limit of the Water Ring.
Just as Karuno had this thought, she saw Xiaoyun swing her arm and seize the moment when Good Dragon was dispelling the lightning.
"Thunder Drum, Electromagnetic Cannon!"
"Drink it out!"
Suddenly, the thunder patterns on the entire body of the Thunder Drum lit up, and a highly concentrated ball of thunder gathered in its mouth.
Its long neck, like a cannon barrel, suddenly exploded!
Boom! ! !
A beam of lightning, trailing a spiraling flame, burst forth, tearing through the rain curtain and instantly evaporating any raindrops it touched!
Karuno's pupils contracted; with just one glance, she knew that the Water Ring couldn't stop it.
"Hold on!"
At the critical moment, Nianmeilong conjured an energy shield in front of her.
Boom! ! !
The spiraling lightning slammed violently into the protective light shield!
Kaka!
A teeth-grinding sound of breaking was heard!
This time, even the supposedly "absolute defense" protective shield shattered!
The remaining lightning power poured fiercely into the body of the Nume Dragon!
"Ugh!!!"
The dragon let out a painful cry as it was completely enveloped by lightning, its massive body sliding backward for more than ten meters.
After a while, the dark clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.
Nume-ryu collapsed to the ground, its eyes turning into mosquito coil shapes, rendering it unable to fight.
There were still wisps of electric arcs remaining on its body.
Thunderous drums resound!
The entire event lasted exactly three minutes, from start to finish.
The Kalos Champion's pseudo-legendary main force was defeated on the spot by an ancient Pokémon with a unique art style in an almost overwhelming manner.
"No, really? Nian Meilong has collapsed already?"
"What the hell is that electromagnetic cannon? It can't even withstand a defensive attack?"
"The champion... was suppressed?"
"Is that Pokémon that looks like a relative of Raikou a monster?"
The audience went wild.
Doropa put down the camera and exclaimed in a low voice, "My God, what terrifying power this is!"
Beside him, Tierno, who always had hyperactivity with dancing, also quieted down at this moment.
He knew Xiaoyun was strong, but he didn't expect her to be this strong.
Our opponent is the champion.
"It can even break through defenses; such destructive power..."
Shota held his notebook, unsure how to take notes.
This is unreasonable.
Ah Xun muttered to himself.
Is Xiaoyun here to sabotage us? She's not giving us any face at all?
Xiao Wang secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to ban the legendary Pokémon yesterday.
That's a move that even a gem starfish can't withstand.
On the high platform, Dorasena sighed softly, her gentle face etched with worry:
"Karuna has met a formidable opponent this time."
She looked at Paqira and found that the other woman's expression was equally solemn.
On the field, Diantha recalled Goodra and whispered to the Poké Ball:
"Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job. It was my misjudgment."
Perhaps because they knew their opponent was strong, they didn't feel much psychological burden after being defeated.
Her fingers brushed against another high-end ball at her waist.
"Answer my call, you fiery red fox!"
A flash of light appeared, and the fiery red fox, wielding a tree branch staff and resembling a court magician, landed lightly.
Xiaoyun also simultaneously retrieved the Thunder Drum, and then reached for another Poké Ball at her waist.
"Your turn next, Blazing Flame."
"Broken Roar!!"
The blazing flames exploded out of nowhere, and the heat wave instantly evaporated the surrounding rainwater.
A majestic beast emerges from the flames!
Its limbs are as thick as pillars, its head is covered with a ferocious crown, and it spews out scorching white steam.
The Three Ancient Divine Beasts, Sky-Piercing Flame!
Where it appears, water is completely repelled, forming a small, dry area.
"Another Pokémon I've never seen before! I wonder how this Pokémon named Flareon will perform."
The host shouted.
"After the Thunder Drum comes the Sky-Piercing Flame. Is Xiao Yun going to bring out all three ancient sacred beasts for a spin?"
Ah Xun stroked his chin.
"You mean Xiaoyun caught a total of three Pokémon?"
Xiao Wang turned her head, her eyes revealing a subtle expression.
"That's right, they're the Three Divine Beasts, so the whole family should be together."
Ah Xun took it for granted.
Xiao Wang: "........"
"So neat and tidy, is that how you use the word?"
You've put some figurines in this episode.
"Is it the same type of Pokémon as Raikou? They both exude a sense of primal power."
Karuno took a deep breath. If this one was on the same level as the one before, then things would be difficult.
"Demon Fire Red Fox, with big characters bursting into flames!"
She decided to strike first and test her opponent's strength.
"Wu!"
The Demonfire Red Fox pointed its staff forward, and a huge, "大"-shaped ball of raging flames surged out, generating rolling heat waves!
Xiaoyun's lips curled slightly, as if she had expected this:
"Flame Guardian!"
Po Kong Yan let out a low roar, and a strange dark red shield instantly appeared around his body.
The massive burst of flames struck the shield, but it was absorbed silently, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
"what?"
Karuno's pupils contracted slightly.
This scene is so strange; it looks like the flames have been eaten away.
It's like you throw a powerful punch, and the other person opens their mouth and eats your fist.
He even smacked his lips and said it tasted good.
"Blow smoke!"
Xiaoyun's counterattack followed immediately.
The crest of the Void-Breaking Flame head flashed red, and it opened its mouth to spew out a large amount of scalding hot smoke mixed with volcanic ash!
Karuno immediately declared: "Big Flame Burst!"
Boom boom boom!
The large characters exploded with flames and smoke, bursting into a fireball mixed with black ash.
"Dragon Wave!"
The Void-Piercing Flame unleashed a blazing, purplish-red, dragon-shaped wave that pierced through the smoke and shot straight at the Demon Fire Red Fox!
"Wall of light!"
The demonic red fox's staff paused, and a transparent wall of light instantly appeared in front of him.
Bang!
The Dragon Pulse struck the wall of light with a dull thud, and was successfully blocked.
Behind the wall of light, the fiery red fox had closed its eyes, and the energy fluctuations on its body were rising steadily.
trick!
"Since fire-attribute moves are ineffective, let's try another one."
Karuno waved her arm with great force:
"Psychic shock!"
The fiery red fox suddenly opened its eyes, its gaze flashing with a sharp light!
A powerful, materialized wave of psychic energy erupted, crashing down on the Void-Breaking Flame like an invisible hammer!
"Roar~~"
The sudden mental attack made Po Kong Yan stagger, and a sharp pain shot through his mind.
Karuno pressed her advantage: "Mental Power!"
"Wu!"
The Fiery Red Fox swung its wooden staff with all its might, its powerful psychic energy not only affecting the Sky-Piercing Flame, but also grabbing up all the ground and scattered rocks around it!
Bang bang bang bang bang! !
Countless rocks rained down on Pi Kong Yan like cannonballs, instantly engulfing his figure and piling up into a small mountain of rocks!
"Is this enough?"
Karuno Karuno breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After being hit twice by a move enhanced by Nasty Plot, even a legendary Pokémon should be defeated.
Looking at Team Rock, Xiaoyun thought that if the three legendary beasts used this move, they might actually be seriously injured.
But we're a Paradoxical species, tough and resilient. Even if the Phoenix King's guards came, they might not come out on top in a head-on confrontation.
He raised his arm and shouted:
"stand up!"
Boom! !
The small hill of rocks suddenly exploded from the inside! Debris flew everywhere!
The figure of Po Kongyan stepped out fiercely. Although he looked disheveled, his aura did not diminish but rather increased.
That's it?
"If it doesn't work the first time, I'll try again!"
Karuno quickly suppressed her shock and continued her attack:
"Fiery Red Fox, Spiritual Power! Maximum Output!"
"Whoosh!!"
The fiery red fox went all out, unleashing its remaining superpowers without reservation!
