Chapter 84 — If this was Gardevoir, it wouldn't be suitable for broadcast

Hearing Larina's command, Golurk's entire right arm suddenly felt as heavy as lead.

When it swung, you could hear the air making a roaring, scraping sound.

Pangoro's kick had already launched.

However, Golurk was faster!

A heavy punch capable of shattering 5,000 tiles crashed into Pangoro's stomach.

The tremendous impact burst forth dramatically, captured in close-up by the Rotom drone.

You could even see Pangoro's eyes roll back after taking that punch.

Then, it was violently thrown back, crashing into the stadium wall behind Bea.

BOOM!

After creating a deep crater in the wall, Pangoro collapsed face-down on the ground two seconds later.

Its eyes had turned into spirals.

"Pangoro is unable to battle, Golurk wins."

The referee quickly rode over on an Aegislash to check, then hurriedly announced.

"What an intense exchange!"

The commentator exclaimed in amazement:

"Both sides showed us powerful attacks we've never seen before, and emerging victorious was Golurk."

What kind of special move was that?

We've never seen it before!

Like Bea's "Haki" and that beam cannon used by the girl called Marnie's Morpeko who was eliminated in the first round.

All of these are abilities we've never heard of before.

"It's quite surprising that Larina took the first match."

From Unova, Skyla said in disbelief:

"I thought when these two faced off, it would end in Bea's overwhelming victory."

It's no wonder Skyla thought this way.

After all, in last year's Galar Star Tournament, though luck played a part, Bea at least got second place.

While Larina was eliminated in the first round.

Though both have shown amazing performances this year.

Overall, Bea still had the upper hand

After all, she defeated Elite Four-level Nessa in the first round.

However, now Larina has won the first match.

Viola felt a bit uncomfortable.

Because they both had stunning looks and were models, plus neither was particularly strong.

So people often compared her to Larina.

But overall her reputation was better, since she was stronger.

However now Larina has taken off, while she remains stagnant.

This, this feels really bad, you know?

It's like being second-to-last - no matter how bad you are, at least there's someone in last place below you.

But now the person in last place has suddenly taken off, and YOU'VE become dead last.

Isn't that frustrating?

...

...

"Go! Hawlucha!"

Bea's expression showed no obvious change as she sent out her second Pokémon.

When the referee waved the flag to start the second round.

Before Bea could even give a command, Hawlucha's wings were already dyed black.

Armament Haki activated!

Looks like Hawlucha is fired up.

In the waiting room, Sonia smiled, "I didn't expect Larina to take the first win."

"But it'll be hard to maintain that lead."

Sun Wuming said meaningfully.

"Hm?"

Sonia, who wasn't skilled at battle commanding, tilted her head.

In the less than two minutes while she was talking with Sun Wuming.

The commentator's voice came from the LCD TV in front of them:

"Golurk has been defeated! What an amazing Hawlucha!"

Sonia turned her head in shock and surprise.

She found that in just these two minutes.

Golurk was already lying defeated under Hawlucha.

Sun Wuming explained:

"It took quite a bit of energy for Golurk to defeat Pangoro in the first place, so this is normal."

Marnie calmly nodded slightly.

But Larina is in danger now.

Like Marnie, she started receiving Sun Wuming's formal training later than Bea.

Though she also underwent the hellish training.

Only her Golurk and newly caught Blastoise can skillfully use Fishman Karate.

While although not all of Bea's main team can perfectly master Haki.

At least they can all use it!

...

...

The situation unfolded exactly as Sun Wuming predicted.

After more than half an hour.

On Bea's side stood her Grapploct.

On the big screen, next to Bea's portrait, the Poké Ball icons showed

Pangoro, Hawlucha, and Machamp had lost their ability to battle.

She still had three Pokémon left.

On Larina's side stood a panting Milotic.

Looking at the Poké Ball icons next to Larina's portrait.

Four had already dimmed.

Including Milotic, Larina only had two Pokémon left.

At this moment, the battlefield was flooded with water, because Milotic had been continuously using Water-type moves.

The original grass field had been forcibly transformed into a pool with water over half a meter deep.

"Finish it!"

Bea punched and threw out a kick.

Amidst the disgusting cheers of countless otaku men watching on TV saying they wanted to lick Bea's feet, she commanded:

"Hell Roll!"

Hearing this, Grapploct opened all eight of its tentacles, trying to grab Milotic tightly.

"Rain Dance!"

At this crucial moment, instead of having Milotic use an attack move, Larina had it use Rain Dance to change the environment.

"Whoosh~~"

An ethereal humming sound echoed above the stadium.

Instantly, the cloudless sky above the stadium was covered by huge dark clouds, and torrential rain began to fall.

In the next moment, Grapploct tightly grabbed Milotic and slammed it hard into the ground, executing a death roll.

"Man, if this was Gardevoir it wouldn't be suitable for broadcast."

Sun Wuming joked.

Beside him, Marnie and Sonia narrowed their eyes, looking at him like they were looking at a pervert.

...

The fifth Poké Ball icon next to Larina's portrait, containing Milotic, also dimmed.

She only had one Pokémon left.

"You did very well, Milotic."

Larina took out the Poké Ball to recall Milotic, speaking gently through the semi-transparent ball to the fainted Milotic inside.

This scene made countless male viewers watching the broadcast go wild with cheers, shouting that they wanted to screenshot this moment for their wallpaper.

"Bea, I haven't lost yet."

Larina took out her last Poké Ball, raising her head solemnly:

"Now, this has become a water field, which means the power of Fishman Karate will reach its peak."

As soon as she finished speaking, Larina threw the Poké Ball with force.

When the blue figure landed, it instantly created a huge splash.

"A Blastoise?!"

Green Oak, watching the livestream on his phone, was startled.

After all, his ace was also a Blastoise.

"Larina's newly trained ace?"

Leon said with some surprise.

What a coincidence.

His ace is Charizard, one of the Kanto starters, while Larina has Blastoise, another starter - hey, don't you Galar trainers use your own region's starters?
