Chapter 516: The Story of Suicune and Larry
Rumble!
The rampaging lightning serpents flashed wildly.
Mixed with the blizzard, the sheer force of it was a scene straight out of the apocalypse.
"Extreme Speed!"
Larry, below, looked somewhat dejected.
As expected, facing such an opponent, my commanding skill is still far too lacking.
At this point, the outcome of the battle between the two sides was more or less decided.
Although he had Suicune use Extreme Speed, Suicune was already injured. Coupled with the tracking of Hikaru's Aura Force, although it dodged several lightning serpents, as long as a single bolt of lightning hit, Suicune would be forced out of its Extreme Speed state. The subsequent chain reaction could easily lead it into a dangerous situation.
It didn't last long, only managing to dodge a few bolts of lightning.
Its figure staggered, paused for a moment, and was struck by a lightning serpent. Immediately after, several more bolts of lightning followed.
In just a short while, the fur all over its body stood on end, and it no longer had any strength left. It collapsed, panting heavily. Clearly, it had lost its ability to battle.
The blizzard in the sky was still falling.
Latias watched the Suicune below intently. After it was completely unable to stand up, the light of Mega Evolution flashed again, and the color of its body changed back to a vibrant red.
And over there, the Rotom, which had been hiding far away, also flew over at this time and announced the result of the battle.
"Suicune is unable to battle. In this match, the winner is Latias. Hikaru from the Huaxia region gains 8 points. Larry from the M Region loses 16 points!"
This was Hikaru's fourth consecutive victory, adding 8 points.
As for Larry, he had been on a five-game winning streak. After losing one match, the points he lost were those he had gained from his last victory.
Generally, after winning five consecutive matches, people would choose to avoid other competitors, because continuing to win had little meaning.
Instead, they would have to bear the consequences of failure.
In the sky, the first to dissipate was the Thunder.
Then came the Blizzard.
For this type of weather move, the Pokémon only needed to act as a trigger. Even if the Pokémon lost its ability to battle, the weather would persist for a period of time.
As for the length of this period, it was related to the Pokémon's strength.
In the heavy snow, the trainer from the M Region quickly ran to Suicune's side and began applying healing potions.
"I'm sorry, Suicune. I was too weak."
A Pokémon's own recovery ability was already very strong.
Coupled with the constitution of a Legendary Pokémon, in just a minute or two, Suicune already had the strength to stand up.
It shook its head at Larry. The opponent's Pokémon was very strong in itself; this was not its trainer's fault.
It was just that the two had made an agreement before.
Regardless of whether they won or lost this battle, it would have to leave the trainer it had grown up with.
Otherwise, it would be a form of imprisonment for both of them.
Suicune licked Larry's hand, its eyes shimmering as if to say, "Live well without me."
"Mmm... If I become a very strong trainer in the future, I will come back to find you!"
Larry glanced at the Rotom; the live broadcast had been cut off right after the result was announced. He was on the verge of breaking down but still held back his tears. After making his promise, he waved goodbye to Suicune.
With a few light steps, Suicune glanced at the ground, used the last of its strength to stop the blizzard, and then, with no energy left, disappeared across the river.
Little did they know, every move of the two was seen clearly by the Rotom that was following him in the sky.
Seeing this scene, Hikaru was greatly surprised.
He hadn't expected that this battle would trigger such a "cutscene."
Could it be that I caused this?
For example, Suicune and this young man from the M Region had an agreement that if they lost a match, the two would part ways?
In that case, Hikaru was very sorry.
Watching the young man stare blankly in the direction Suicune had left, Hikaru hesitated for a moment but still decided to ask, "I'm sorry to disturb you when you're sad, but may I ask, it doesn't look like you two have any conflicts. Why did you separate?"
There must be a reason for their separation.
The other party had already won five consecutive matches and then came to challenge him. There must be a reason for that too.
But right now, Hikaru was more concerned about the former.
Seeing Hikaru's inquiry, Larry immediately snapped back to his senses. Feeling sad yet relieved, he explained in standard Mandarin, "Respected trainer from the Huaxia region, Suicune and I grew up together, but its divinity and power attracted the attention of the council members. They made Suicune do many things it didn't like to do... I didn't want it, being by my side, to be unhappy. That's why I chose to separate."
Speaking of this, he added apologetically, "Just like this challenge to you, it was precisely because they demanded it..."
"They wanted to see your Mega Evolution... Please don't mind."
Hearing these words that didn't seem false, Hikaru raised an eyebrow.
Such an honest trainer is a rare sight.
No wonder Suicune chose him.
Hikaru waved his hand. "It's fine. The normal challenge rules are like this."
The other party hadn't launched a sneak attack or done anything out of line, just a normal challenge. There was no need to apologize.
"Sorry again for disturbing your leisurely mood. I must be leaving now."
Larry bowed again, then summoned a Skarmory, which carried him away towards the horizon.
Clearly, he didn't want to stay in this sad place for long.
"So strong..."
Sakura, who had been protected by Gardevoir over there, also slowly walked over on the snow at this time, looking with surprise at the Latias who had transformed into a human.
Charizard's strength before had already stunned her, but she hadn't expected Latias to be even more formidable.
Just that apocalyptic scene alone made her feel as if the sky was about to collapse.
Fortunately, Latias won in the end~
"Ooh..."
Latias smiled with some embarrassment. If it weren't for the fact that her body was still trembling slightly, one would really think she was completely fine.
In fact, the blizzard just now had also caused her considerable damage.
"Roar!"
A loud roar suddenly came from the sky.
It turned out to be Charizard rushing over with its wife. It landed on the ground and looked left and right, as if searching for a trace of the enemy.
Judging by its radiant face, it must have enjoyed itself.
Hikaru said with great helplessness, "The battle is already over..."
Although the fight just now seemed so fierce, it had only lasted a few minutes.
"Roar..." (Is that so?)
Charizard awkwardly rubbed its belly and looked around.
Looks like Latias made a move.
Hikaru also unhesitatingly gave Charizard the order to clean up.
"Use Sunny Day and melt the snow on the ground first."
This kid...
He actually leveled up?
