"The new champion's strength is truly remarkable. The skill his Arcanine just used is something I've never seen before, and I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
"What's most surprising is that his Arcanine's clones seem to have attack capabilities, not just shadow clones. Could it be some new skill?"
Suddenly
, the audience erupted in discussion.
Jun Shafeng looked at the damaged arena and said helplessly to the spectator.
"Because the arena is damaged, I need to have the staff repair it. So this is considered an intermission. Once the arena is repaired, we'll continue the match."
The audience instantly let out a sigh of disappointment upon hearing this news.
Just then, the water king, Shimi, stepped forward and said,
"If the champion doesn't mind, would you mind engaging me in a spectacular battle on the water?"
Jun Shafeng considered Shimi's request for a fight for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Now that the venue has been destroyed, I wonder if the Water King knows where we can hold the match,"
Shimi said with a smile.
"There's an artificial beach nearby. We can hold the match there."
Shimi then led the champion and a number of enthusiastic spectators to the artificial beach.
Suddenly, the artificial beach became much busier than usual.
Jun Shafeng and Shimi stood facing each other in the sea.
Then, in tacit coordination, they took out their Poké Balls and threw them into the air.
Two red lights appeared simultaneously. Jun Shafeng summoned Slowking,
and Shimi sent out Golduck.
"Golduck, use Water Cannon."
Shimi commanded Golduck to attack at the start of the match.
Golduck waved his hands, and instantly a large amount of seawater condensed into a Water Cannon, which flew towards Slowking.
Slowking remained calm and used a Light Wall to successfully block the Water Cannon's attack.
Shimi watched as Golduck's Water attack was so easily deflected by Slowking,
a hint of surprise crossed his face.
Shimi's Golduck was level 99, just one level behind Slowking.
But that single level difference was a world of difference.
Slowking, still at sea one moment, instantly teleported behind Golduck.
Golduck, also a Water- and Psychic-type Pokémon, was completely unaware of Slowking's sudden Psychic move. Slowking, without
hesitation, unleashed a lightning punch, sending Golduck flying.
The stricken Golduck remained stunned. Then, Slowking teleported to Golduck's upper ring.
Unleashing Armament Haki,
Slowking completely armored his right hand, then delivered a powerful
hammer blow
, instantly killing Golduck. What had been expected to be a fierce battle was easily ended by Slowking.
Shimi quickly retracted Golduck
and summoned his other Pokémon, Gyarados.
After Gyarados entered the match, he roared fiercely at the sky,
demonstrating his might.
The match officially began.
This time, Shimi again launched the attack.
"Gyarados uses Destruction Beam! I don't believe Slowking's Light Wall can withstand it."
Gyarados gathered the Destruction Beam in just a few moments and launched an attack at Slowking.
This time, Slowking didn't use Light Wall, but instead used his ultimate move, Water Dragon Roar.
Instantly, nine water dragons, composed of seawater, soared into the air.
One of them easily intercepted the Destruction Beam.
The other eight then charged directly at Gyarados.
Gyarados looked at the attacking water dragons and tried to defend himself, but the side effects of the Destruction Beam paralyzed him.
The eight water dragons, with their powerful attack, instantly defeated Gyarados.
Shimi watched as Gyarados was defeated so quickly after entering the match that Gyarados's Poké Ball faltered.
The spectators on the beach erupted in excitement.
"Is this the strength of the new champion? I remember when Miss Kaluni fought against Shimi, the fight was very intense.
I didn't expect that Shimi's Pokémon now looks not so good in front of the new champion, Slowking."
... Shimi's face began to get nervous as he listened to the audience's comments. He then took out another Poké Ball and summoned his next Pokémon, Grunt. This time, Shimi didn't act rashly, but waited for Slowking's move.
Seeing this, Jun Shafeng shouted,
"Slowking, show us your skills."
Slowking gave an "OK" sign and then unleashed his
full Armament Haki. Instantly, Slowking's pink hue transformed into a dark iron color, sending the audience into a frenzy of cheers.
Even Shimi was surprised.
Slowking teleported in front of Grunt. Shimi was prepared for this teleportation. "Grunt, use Hot Water."
At Shimi's command, Grunt unleashed his Hot Water ability.
However, this attack was no match for Slowking in his Armament Haki form.
Slowking withstood the Hot Water attack and then unleashed a Psychic Wave, sending Grunt flying.
He then unleashed the Northern Divine Art, draining all of Grunt's experience and stamina.
Having had its experience and stamina drained away, Grimrock passed out.
Shimi returned Grimrock to his Poké Ball. He had already sent out three Pokémon, but all were defeated by Slowking.
"As expected of a champion, even any Pokémon wouldn't be strong enough for us, the Kings.
But we are the Kings after all, and we'll fight to the bitter end even if we lose."
Shimi threw out his Poké Ball and summoned Blastoise.
Jun Shafeng looked at Blastoise's information and discovered it was already at its maximum level.
At that moment, Shimi took out the Mega Evolution Keystone.
He then allowed Blastoise to Mega Evolve.
After Mega Evolution, Blastoise's strength instantly reached the early stages of Level 3 God. Slowking
, who had been calm, began to flex his muscles, ready to get serious.
