Chapter 640: Star of Victory and Rebirth from the Ashes (6K)

"V-Heat Flame!?"

Xiaozhi, who was sitting in the audience but almost stood up, exclaimed.

Another move he had never heard of!
"I can't find any relevant information in the navigator!"

Xiaosheng beside him was as excited as he was, but because he was small, Xiaoyao was holding down his shoulders and he couldn't stand up.

Aaron, who couldn't take his eyes off the exciting battle between powerful trainers, asked: "Can Miss Xiaotong find out?"

In his impression, Xiaotong holding the computer is like an all-knowing encyclopedia. Maybe she knows or can find something.

Xiao Tong shook her head when he asked her. "Since the pilots who connected to the Dewen database couldn't find any relevant information, I probably won't be able to find anything here either."

"but--"

Xiaotong paused, and looked through the lenses at the computer screen on her leg with the camera turned on. The data analyzed on it was fluctuating violently.

"The flame temperature is rising rapidly, and the energy concentration is compressed at an incredible degree!"

When she uttered the three words "it's coming", Xiaotong's voice even changed a little because of surprise.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the battle platform.

The background is a fierce collision between Tyrannosaurus and Moltres.

With a golden aura called "Victory Wave" surging all over his body, Victini flew towards the Double Axe War Dragon like a fireball, and the V-shaped mark on his head became hotter and hotter.

Its feature is called "Victory Star", which has the effect of increasing the hit rate of yourself and your companions in the game.

But in this world, the "Star of Victory" obviously has more power than just this level.

It is a mythical Pokémon that thrives on the power of victory. Legend has it that a trainer with Victini will be invincible.

To put it another way, the stronger the trainer is, the more times he tastes victory, and Victini will get the corresponding victory wave and become stronger!
For Bictini, the sense of victory it experienced during the more than half a year following Luo Mu was stronger than the thousand years it spent in Aindook!

This allowed it to gradually master its two exclusive signature moves, which it could only use when it was in high spirits.

The V-Heat Flame has a base power of 180 in the game, which is almost the pinnacle of the power of ordinary moves except for the self-destruct moves, and can even be compared with many Z moves.

——Its power is immeasurable.

With the blessing of this powerful combination, the V on Victini's forehead shone brightly, and the endless golden-orange flames gushed out, wrapping its body, burning the surrounding air madly, and propelling Victini to rush towards the Double Axe War Dragon.

The blazing flames even affected the fierce air battle above, causing Dragonite and Moltres to look sideways.

With his own experience, Genji immediately realized that Victini's move seemed a little beyond his scope.

But now it was too late to change tactics and retreat or dodge sideways. His intuition told Genji that there was no way to avoid this move, and the Double Axe War Dragon had no choice but to take it head-on!
"Full force reverse scale!"

The veins on Genji's forehead bulged, and his hoarse, weathered voice echoed in the space, as if it were a loudspeaker.

As a captain who has been sailing on the sea for many years, it is natural for Genji to have such a loud voice.

"Oh!" The double-axe war dragon raised its head and howled, and terrifying blood-red light waves suddenly rose from its body. Its eyes were covered with red light, and its momentum became high and violent!

The already powerful physical functions of the Double Axe War Dragon in the inverse scale state almost increased exponentially.

Taking powerful steps, the Double Axe War Dragon charged fearlessly at Victini, who was almost turning into a miniature sun!

Bang-!
A violent explosion occurred from the center of the collision between the two sides.

The flames and loud noises that shot up into the sky made the entire battle tower tremble. The spectators, commentators, Luo Mu, and Genji all had their eyes fixed on the billowing smoke.

——Who has the greater advantage?

After a while, the smoke dissipated.

On one side was a double-axe war dragon with burn marks all over its body, half-kneeling on the ground.

On one side was Victini, who was panting heavily. Although he had some minor injuries on his body and was experiencing blue light wave effects that showed his reduced abilities, he still retained his ability to move.

At this moment, amid the exclamations of the audience.

A figure descended from the sky like a sky predator, carrying a strong airflow, and headed straight for Victini!

That was a dragon that was hiding its whereabouts with thick smoke, intending to take advantage of Victini's weakness to inflict heavy damage!

Victini's pupils shrank slightly, but now it was probably difficult for it to avoid Dragonite's long-planned attack.

Fortunately, another reliable figure also dropped from the sky, stood in front of Victini, and took on the attack from Dragonite!
It's a flame bird!

"Timmy!"

Victini thanked Moltres quietly, but Moltres just shook his head, signaling it to focus on fighting the enemy.

Even though he was the Star of Victory, it was common knowledge on the farm that Victini was not good at fighting.

So from the very beginning, Moltres kept an eye on Victini and was ready to use its own durability bar to protect this fragile little Victini.

"Releasing such a powerful move must also come with a price and a lot of consumption."

Although Dragonite's attack failed, Genji inexplicably felt relieved when he saw Victini gasping for breath behind Moltres.

Fortunately, this move is not the kind that can be released infinitely, otherwise it would be useless.

Although the Double Axe War Dragon suffered severe damage, it still retained a certain amount of combat power and did not fall down directly, thanks to its strong physique that had been forged over decades of sailing on the sea with Genji and under the wind and waves.

If Genji could think of it, how could Luo Mu not think of it?
Seeing Victini's slightly exhausted state, Luo Mu was not surprised.

When he gave the "V-Flame" order, he anticipated that this was a special move that would consume a lot of Victini's energy, in addition to not having any counter-injury.

Even though he has theoretically infinite energy, Victini's energy has a limit.

With hard training, this upper limit may be raised, allowing Victini to use "V-Flame" freely, but this is almost impossible.

Victini is not Luo Mu's main battle Pokémon at all, not to mention that Luo Mu brought it out from Eindhoven not to let it undergo the devilish hell training, and it couldn't bear the suffering.

Luo Mu and Genji both have a good understanding of each other.

Although it is a doubles match, this performance battle almost abandons most of the brain-burning and gaming, and the lineups sent out by both sides are also the head-to-head type that can provide excellent visual effects, which is closer to the "layman" audience in the field of non-trainers.

Intense sound effects and physical collisions can arouse the audience's excitement.

"What a terrifying life."

Genji sighed as he looked at Luo Mu's face, which was much younger than his own, and even than Mikoli and Daigo, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that without using it, I won't be able to gain the upper hand in the battle with you."

A deep gleam suddenly flashed in Genji's eyes, and he took off the captain's hat on his head.

Then - turn to the other side!
I saw a strangely shaped round stone quietly embedded in the center of the brim below.

That is, the evolution key stone!
"Ride the waves with me, my old friend, Mega Evolution!"

Genji lightly touched the evolution keystone, and a dazzling bright light burst out.

This is an item that Genji accidentally found in the ruins of an unknown island during a recent voyage.

It was only after Genji used his authority to consult the documents of the Hoenn Alliance and through his own exploration that he discovered the possibility of this new evolution.

Originally, Genji planned to reserve this trump card for the Champions League that would be held regularly after the upcoming Saiyou Conference, to deal with any champion above his head.

But now he has changed his mind. He wants to use it in this place where everyone is watching, even if it means exposing his trump card in advance.

Not worth the loss?

Do not!
He believes that winning this exhibition match will make him stronger!

On the surface of the Tyrannosaurus, an equally round stone emerged from its body, releasing chains of light and connecting with the Evolution Key in Genji's hand.

Amid the surprised expressions of countless spectators, a strong light representing evolution enveloped Dragonite.

"Can Tyrannosaurus evolve again?!"

In the audience, even the calm and mature Xiaotong couldn't help but exclaimed.

In the light, the size of the Dragonite began to change rapidly.

The separated wings glued together to form a huge crescent-shaped dragon wing.

The head, neck, torso and tail became more slender, the pair of triangular wings on both sides of the face grew significantly, and the folded limbs made its body shape more suitable for flying.

"Roar--!"

The Super Dragonite roared to the sky, and violent airflow exploded around it.

The bloody Crescent Moon, the well-deserved top Mega player, Super Dragonite is here!
Even Moltres felt that it was suppressed by Mega Dragonite in this state at the life level, and its strength judging from its aura was also lagging behind the opponent in all aspects.

From Mega Dragonite, it felt a similar sense of oppression as from Dragonite.

To be honest, Luo Mu was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, in the current Pokémon world, apart from some families that have been passed down from the past to the present, there are very few people who can master Mega Evolution.

Even Daigo and Mikoli haven't mastered it yet.

——Genji gave himself a big surprise.

"I suddenly regret not sending Swampert to fight. It would be more fun for them to fight this way."

He lowered his head and murmured something, and a hint of fighting spirit appeared in Luo Mu's eyes.

"I don't think you will admit defeat in the realm of the sky, so let's have a big fight!"

So what if we are inferior in strength?

Hadn't he also been gradually making a comeback by defeating the strong with the weak? It was never Luo Mu's style to just give up when he realized he was not as good as the opponent. "Brave Bird Attack!"

"Sacrifice yourself and charge!"

The divine bird and the giant dragon looked at each other, their bodies wrapped in sky blue flames, and they collided with each other without saying a word.

——However, even some laymen can see that after Dragonite completed its evolution, it completely suppressed Moltres, which was previously evenly matched with it.

Meanwhile, below, the Double Axe War Dragon and Victini were also not idle.

Not only do you have to release attacks against the opponent in order to gain a two-on-one advantage, but you also have to interfere with the opponent's Pokémon engaged in fierce air battles in the sky from time to time under the command of the trainer.

This was a two-on-two doubles match from the beginning to the end. Even if the two sides "may" not be able to produce an outstanding cooperation of 1+1>2, they cannot ignore what they can do.

The commentator was a little confused at this time.

Genji clearly let Dragonite use the normal "Sacrificial Charge", so why did the energy around it manifest in the form of violent airflow?
This completely touched upon his blind spot of knowledge.

Luo Mu knew the reason clearly.

After Mega Evolution, the characteristics of Tyrannosaurus changed from "Intimidation" or "Overconfidence" to "Flying Skin".

Its manifestation is that general-type moves are transformed into flying-type moves, while also increasing their power to a certain extent.

With the support of this feature, Mega Dragonite has become one of the best Mega Evolved Pokémon in terms of quality.

Another fierce collision, and Moltres looked a little ugly as he flew backwards several meters before the force was relieved.

Apart from fighting against Dragonite, this was the first time it suffered a defeat in an air combat.

However, compared to the situation at that time when it had almost no ability to fight back, it is no longer passive now, and the growth progress that has been stagnant for many years has been obviously advanced a lot.

But with its current strength, it is still a long way to go to defeat Mega Dragonite, whose strength has increased by nearly as much after its mega evolution as Swampert.

After all, before, Moltres could rely on its longer stamina and life bar to exchange blood with Dragonite, but now it is a bit difficult.

Moltres's physical strength is not infinite. Luo Mu, who just knocked it down, knows this better than anyone else.

——So when Pokémon is at a disadvantage in battle, it is up to him as the trainer to find a chance to win in the gap.

Watching the collision between Moltres and Mega Dragonite, while remotely directing Victini to fight against Valkyrie, Luo Mu was waiting for the best opportunity.

He is looking for an opportunity—

As an experienced top trainer, Genji is also aware of this.

But he was alert and didn't expect that the opportunity Luo Mu was looking for seemed so crazy to him.

Under Luo Mu's intentional traction, the location where Moltres and Mega Dragonite collided was getting closer and closer to the field below.

Until, due to the chaotic side effects of the inverse scale, the Double Axe War Dragon, which was gradually running out of strength, was exposed to the attack range of the Moltres.

"Victini, use your mental strength to block the Double Axe War Dragon's movements, Moltres, Divine Bird Smash!"

Under Luo Mu's command, Moltres almost completely exposed its back to Mega Dragonite.

But on the other hand, the Double Axe War Dragon, who was struggling hard under the restraint of Victini's mental power, was also completely locked by Moltres.

Moltres, who had been hit by another attack from Mega Dragon's claw, was wrapped in brilliant golden flames and hit the Double Axe War Dragon with a bang!
Even though the Double Axe War Dragon bit the Moltres fiercely after suffering a series of severe blows, the continuous severe blows still caused its eyes to turn black. Its huge and strong body tilted and it fell to the ground with a "bang", and its tightly closed eyes turned into mosquito-repellent eyes.

"Double Axe Dragon is defeated! Player Luo Mu is the first to take down the first Pokémon of the Genji King!"

The commentator's excited voice echoed through the loudspeakers throughout the battle tower.

"——If we do this, our back will be completely exposed to Dragonite!"

Hearing the somewhat regretful voice of Jie, Xiaozhi could no longer hold back and stood up, shouting, "Oh no!"

Looking at Dragonite appearing behind Moltres at an extremely fast flying speed, his heart was in his throat.

Even with the "Quick Avoid Master" Xiaozhi's judgment, he felt that it was too late to dodge at this distance!

"Violent Dragon, Ultimate Impact!"

Even though he didn't understand why Luo Mu exposed such a big flaw in order to kill the Double Axe War Dragon, which would obviously lose its combat ability first due to Victini's consumption.

But now that he had seized the opportunity, Genji would not be stupid enough to let it slip away.

Feeling the danger approaching from behind, Moltres wanted to turn around and fight back, but it was too late at this distance.

In the violent explosion, Moltres' body was instantly blown away and fell on the platform with a muffled sound.

Its aura was also dropping rapidly, and it was almost about to follow in the footsteps of the Double Axe War Dragon.

"Although we have dealt with the Double Axe War Dragon, Moltres' condition has also fallen to the bottom. Victini's condition is not very good either. On the other hand, Dragonite is getting stronger and stronger."

“Is this the end of the matter for Luo Mu—!?”

To many viewers who supported Genji, the commentator's questioning words were almost equivalent to declaring Genji's victory.

Some people can't help but open the champagne.

Not being disturbed by external sounds is a basic skill of the captain. It seems that victory is close, but Genji is still concentrating on everything on the platform.

——He discovered that under Luo Mu’s instructions, Victini came to the side of Moltres.

Several possibilities flashed through Genji's mind as to why Luo Mu did this.

Heal? Help defend? Or work together and fight?
No matter what, there is only one thing I have to do.

While raising his hand to retract the double-axe dragon, Genji shouted: "End them, the final ultimate impact!"

“Roar——!” The Super Dragonite roared towards the sky. The front of its body was wrapped in the constantly swirling sky-blue airflow. Its blood-stained crescent-like dragon wings cut through the air, as if to split the entire space into two.

Wherever it passed, the biting wind whistled and cut countless scattered stones on the ground into powder!

Genji Ace's all-out flight skin, Ultimate Impact!
This is also the reason why he plans to challenge the Champions League again!
With this move, given Moltres and Victini's current state, there's no chance they can take it.

——But the premise is that they fight on their own.

Doubles battles are never just Pokémon fighting each other alone. There are new possibilities between Moltres and Victini.

This is a slightly cheating ability, and Luo Mu originally had no intention of using it.

But since Genji has already used Mega Evolution, there is no burden in using it myself.

Why did Luo Mu risk seriously injuring Moltres to get rid of the Double Axe War Dragon and free Victini first?

The answer is revealed here.

"Victini, use Help on Moltres."

"Molten--Holy Fire!"

Luo Mu's order sounded like thunder out of the blue.

Under the gaze of countless people, Victini, sitting on the back of Moltres, which had barely regained its flight, placed her little hands on it.

The golden aura that flashed when using "V-Flame" rose up, and the wave of victory vibrated around Victini, and then all merged into Moltres!

"Timi!" (You are strengthened, come on!)
As if he had become a trainer himself, Victini pointed at Mega Dragonite!
Fighting and killing are really not suitable for it. This is the correct way to open its "Victory Star"!

At this moment, the colorful fire in Moltres' body that was out of its control was like a traveler who had been walking in the desert for a long time, eagerly absorbing infinite energy to strengthen itself.

After several months of hard work, Moltres has established a good relationship with this fire. Although it sounds a bit strange to say this, when the other party is in a "happy" state, Moltres is now able to use the fire to transform its own flame into a higher level of existence.

As the Moltres chirped, the flames burning brightly on its wings took on a rainbow luster, and the rainbow flames burst out like a volcanic eruption.

The divine flame that healed the wounds and brought down punishment transformed into a gigantic flaming bird and swallowed up the Mega Dragonite!
A fire that seemed to be able to burn everything exploded, and amidst the rumbling sound, the entire battle tower was shaking violently.

The audience was shocked and Genji looked stunned.

Where on earth did the flaming bird, who looked like a candle in the wind, get the strength to launch such a powerful attack! ?

After a while.

The blazing rainbow flames vanished, revealing the nearly carbonized battle platform.

——And the figure of Dragonite that had exited Mega Evolution and lost consciousness.

The injuries accumulated from the previous fierce battle in the air, coupled with the "nuclear explosion" of the super-enhanced help of the Holy Fire, meant that even a Mega Dragon could not win despite its best efforts.

Just in the next second when he was about to secure victory, he lost his ability to fight.

Against the backdrop of the dissipating rainbow fireworks, the Moltres, whose injuries had mostly recovered, looked like a phoenix reborn from the flames. Its sacred figure dazzled many viewers!
"this--"

Even a man like Genji, who could remain calm even in the face of disaster, raised the brim of his captain's hat in shock, and his eyes widened as he repeatedly confirmed everything in front of him.

No, how come you killed me instantly and my health is almost full! ?
The commentator also started speaking directly after a brief moment of shock.

"Ohhh, what a shocking twist!"

"The combined attack of Victini and Moltres actually defeated the unstoppable Dragonite!"

"In this case, the winner of this exhibition match is obvious."

"After a fierce battle, the winner of this special exhibition match between Larus City and the Battle Tower is—"

"Romu, Moltres and Victini team up!"

After a brief silence, cheers that almost tore down the top of the battle tower rang out one after another.

Moltres and Victini raised their heads, enjoying this hard-earned victory.

Especially Victini, a large number of victory fluctuations were instantly credited to his account, which made his belly bulge out!
