At the same time, its speed and power remained undiminished, directly hitting the direction from which the Shadow Ball was fired, but it did not hit Gengar.
then.
The same pattern repeated itself in the following waves.
Gengar hides in the shadows of the forest, occasionally firing a Shadow Ball before immediately moving to the next spot. Lapras, on the other hand, always uses Water Pulse to shatter the Shadow Ball as soon as it appears, and then blasts it in the direction it was fired.
Azure and Gengar are trying to use their agility to conceal their advantages and continuously deplete Lapras's stamina.
After all, although Laplace is powerful, he cannot exert his full potential in this forest setting, because it is land and forest, not water and ice.
Laplace's mobility is also greatly limited; the area it can move in is only that one open space, unlike Gengar, which can move freely throughout the entire area.
But can it really be consumed like this?
After several rounds, Lapras showed no signs of being worn down. It unleashed so many Water Pulse attacks without even taking a breath. On the contrary, Gengar, being the fragile one, was the first to start to falter.
After all, Lapras is a high-durability tank with a significant advantage in stamina, while Gengar is a standard high-speed but fragile tank, so it can't compete in terms of stamina.
·· ···Requesting flowers· ·······
Not to mention the difference in strength!
A Champion-level Lapras, especially a mid-Champion Lapras, has a level of control and application of energy that is simply incomparable to a Champion-level Gengar at its peak.
A single Shadow Ball that grants +2 Special Attack is less effective than a single Water Pulse from Lapras. Gengar also consumes more energy and stamina with each hit than Lapras.
Therefore, trying to wear down Laplace is definitely not an option, and Azur Lane herself knows this, so that's not her tactical objective.
Her true target was the faint singing that echoed in the space—the song of the end, sung by Gengar!
The Song of the End can render an opponent incapable of fighting given enough time. Although the same applies to the user, it's still a one-for-one trade, and for Laplace in the mid-stage of the championship, it's a win no matter what.
0. 0
However, similarly, because Lapras's level is far higher than Gengar's, it will take Gengar more time to defeat it with End Song.
Therefore, the reason why Gengar kept using this method to win was simply to stall!
Now, the activation of the Final Song is drawing ever closer. Azure and Gengar only need to hold on for the last moments, but...
A snowflake drifts down slowly!
"This is... snow..."
Azure caught the falling snowflakes, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she immediately looked up at the field.
All that could be seen on the field was...
In the uneven forest landscape, the pools formed by the ripples of water gradually froze into ice as snowflakes fell!
The falling snowflakes grew more violent, the wind howled, and the blizzard raged like a mad beast, turning the whole world into a white wonderland... blizzard!
Under the pressure of the blizzard, Gengar was forced to reveal itself from the shadows, and at the very moment it appeared!
A dazzling beam of ice-blue light pierced through the blizzard!
...Skill: Freezing Beam!

309. Azure vs. Crimson, Second Half: Kangaskhan Enters the Fray! (Please Subscribe!)
At this moment, in the forest field!
The entire site was riddled with potholes, revealing patches of snow-covered open ground, and the few remaining trees were all covered in frost.
This forest area has been completely transformed into a frosty landscape, and within this frosty landscape, a blue icicle stands atop it.
Within this icicle, a figure was found frozen inside; it was none other than... Gengar!
The blue Gengar is unable to battle, and the winner of this round is the red Lapras!
3: 1!
Meanwhile, Azur Lane has already lost three Pokémon, so the match will enter a ten-minute halftime break.
................
...“Zero One Zero”..............
Second half!
The venue has been changed.
Now it's... the rock pool area!
Azure and Crimson emerged from the players' lounge, one on the left and one on the right, and arrived at the players' command platforms on both sides of the field.
"Alright, viewers, welcome to the second half of the second round of the Indigo League semifinals. In the first half, Red defeated three Pokémon from Azure while only losing one Haxorus, gaining a huge advantage!"
"It seems that as long as we can maintain this momentum in the second half, the last spot in the finals of the Quartz Conference is already secured."
"Alright, that's enough for now. Let's get into the match and see what kind of exciting showdown Azure and Crimson will bring us!"
The referee's enthusiastic commentary further fueled the already heated atmosphere among the audience, who eagerly anticipated the next development of the match.
...............
...............
"..."
On the contestant's platform, after the referee announced that the match would continue, Crimson slightly adjusted the brim of his hat and threw the Poké Ball in his hand.
"La~woo~~~!!!"
With a soft cry, Laplace reappeared in the arena, floating in the large pool in the center of the rock pool arena.
Red still fielded his Laplace, who was in the mid-championship phase!
Meanwhile, Azure on the opposite side also threw out its Poké Ball, and a white light shot out from the opened Poké Ball and landed on the field.
Its body is mostly brown, with grayish-yellow ears and belly. It has several bulges on its shoulders and legs, and its pouch contains its young.

...............
The Kangaskhan that Azure fought against Touko before was a Kangaskhan that could Mega Evolve into a Mega Kangaskhan. But, I remember it was at the peak of the Elite Four before, right?
Now he has broken through the peak of the King and reached the early stage of the Champion (pseudo). He broke through this level after the battle with Touko's ace, Enbu-oh, right?
Furthermore, because it's a recent breakthrough, and there hasn't been further understanding and control over one's energy factors, it's only at the early stage of champion (pseudo)...
Of course, that wasn't what caught Red's attention; what he was looking at was the Kangaskhan's carrying equipment.
The item that Azure Kangaskhan is carrying now is no longer the Mega Kangaskhan Stone it carried in the last match of the quarterfinals.
Instead, it's a silk scarf that can increase the power of Normal-type moves by 20%, which is excellent for Kangaskhan that specializes in Normal-type moves.
However, the Kangaskhan with the Silk Scarf is definitely no match for the Mega Kangaskhan. Not to mention the boost in strength, the Mega Kangaskhan is much stronger than the Silk Scarf Kangaskhan in terms of both ability and base stats.
So why did Azure choose to replace Kangaskhan's Mega Stone?
In the Pokémon games of the past, a team could only give one Mega Evolution Pokémon. If one of the two Mega Evolution Pokémons evolved, the other could not.
In reality, it's similar in that a battle can only Mega Evolve one Pokémon, but there's a difference: you can Mega Evolve multiple Pokémon.
However, this requires a certain level of energy, spirit, and mental strength to support the Mega Evolution of two or more Pokémon. Not to mention ordinary people, even some champion trainers cannot achieve this.
And Azure's is also around 1.7. Since her Kangaskhan doesn't have a Mega Kangaskhan Stone, it means that she will likely have other Pokémon that need this Mega Evolution!
Red had some guesses about this Mega Evolution, but regardless, the priority was to win the current match!
Quartz Conference Semifinals!

310. Azure vs. Crimson, Kangaskhan vs. Laplace! (Please subscribe to all titles!)
"High-five surprise!"
"Bag~ Hoo~~!!!"
The Kangaskhan spread its arms wide, white energy gathering on them, and its body was also empowered by mysterious energy, allowing it to burst out with extremely fast speed and leap out.
It appeared in front of Laplace in a blur, raised its hands, and was about to strike down with a high-five!
"Hold on!"
"La~woo~~!!!"
Faced with the surprise high-five attack from the Kangaskhan, Laplace let out a soft chant and used energy particles to create a green protective barrier around his body.
...It's all about skills and protection!
