Chapter 554: The Speedy Dragonite and the Waiting Guzma

Giant mantis.

Luo Mu suddenly felt like laughing.

He remembered the animation of Sun and Moon, when Ash and Guzma faced off in the semi-finals of the League Conference.

It seemed that it was this unlucky Giant Mantis that appeared in a daze when the Armored Warrior triggered the characteristic "Danger Avoidance", and was directly carried away by a fully charged quadruple restraint large-character explosion of Inferno Cat.

The moment he saw Guzma send out the Giant Mantis, Luo Mu realized that he wanted to fight a speed battle with the Roentgen Cat.

The speed of the Giant Mantis is not important in the game, it just means that the Giant Mantis lacks agility.

At least judging from the few giant mantises Luo Mu had seen, each one moved very quickly.

In particular, the trait "Light Metal" that is almost useless in the game is so fast that it moves much faster than ordinary Pokémon, and even its weakness in agility is alleviated.

A pair of mantis fists can easily leave afterimages and deliver continuous and powerful blows.

Guzma's Mega Mantis also had a record of defeating Ilima's Mega Marmoset with shameless tactics.

It naturally didn't take much effort for Roentgen to deal with Giant Mantis, but Luo Mu still raised his hand to take back Roentgen and replaced it with his second Pokémon.

"Dragonite, compete with him in speed."

A red light flashed, and Dragonite, which had previously defeated the Skeleton Team's minions with a tornado, appeared.

"Dragonite?"

Guzma naturally recognized this Pokémon, and knew that it was the Pokémon that bullied its younger brothers.

In Guzma's opinion, Luo Mu's act of exchanging Dragonite for Roentgen Cat further confirmed his guess.

The Roentgen cat had definitely released all of its power in one breath, so it was powerless to continue.

However, Luo Mu had to hold on and not lose face, so he took it back.

"Bullet punch!"

Guzma, who gradually regained his confidence, once again showed his familiar arrogant smile, clenched his fist and stepped forward to issue orders.

The giant mantis, covered in red armor and with two pairs of translucent wings on its back vibrating at high speed, focused its eyes and suddenly attacked in front of Dragonite.

The ferocious pair of giant pincers shone with dazzling silver light, and the dazzling punches, accompanied by strong winds, attacked Dragonite fiercely!

Bang!
The fists of the giant clawed mantis hit Dragonite's abdomen like raindrops. If it were an ordinary Pokémon, it would definitely retreat continuously, covering its abdomen with its hands and showing pain on its face.

But Dragonite's expression did not change at all. He just slightly raised his right claw and smashed towards Mantis.

The giant mantis took the dragon claw lightly and dodged it by just stepping back.

This allowed Luo Mu to confirm that Guzma's Giant Mantis had the "light metal" characteristic, which could be considered a speed specialty.

If it were Luo Mu himself, he would probably prefer "technical experts" more.

At the same time, Guzma also determined that Mantis completely crushed Dragonite in terms of speed and agility, so his tactics became even bolder.

Now the only thing he was worried about was that Luo Mu would choose to let Dragonite fly and launch a long-range attack on Mantis. Mantis would be in great pain because it could not fly due to its body weight.

But before that, just use Speed ​​Attack to make Dragonite lose its ability to fly.

"Aim for its wings!"

Guzma directly chose to use a dirty trick.

"This is too insidious!" Kachi and others were filled with indignation.

But Guzma seemed to have heard what they said and retorted, "As long as we can win and it doesn't violate the rules, any means are the way to victory."

"Compared to that guy Kukui, this is a lesson I'm going to teach you young boys. Remember it well!"

At this time, Giant Mantis had already slipped behind Dragonite without anyone noticing.

The pair of dragon wings, which were not big but could carry Dragonite into flight, were defenselessly exposed to the giant mantis.

"Right now, cross scissors!"

Guzma saw an opportunity and gave the order without hesitation.

Less than thirty seconds had passed, and the giant mantis, which had released a series of violent moves, already felt its armor heating up slightly, and needed to vibrate its wings on its back at a high frequency to dissipate the heat.

But this one strike can determine the victory!
The fully focused Mantis crossed its arms, and a green cross-shaped light blade formed, flying towards the back of the nearby Dragonite.

And Luo Mu finally issued the first order.

"Super speed."

Swish!
The giant mantis only felt the wind surging wildly in front of it, and the dust it raised almost blinded its eyes.

Even with his eyes slightly narrowed, the giant mantis still flew out smoothly with the moves that it had practiced thousands of times.

But just as it was about to touch Dragonite's back, the cross scissors swept past Dragonite in the air without stopping and flew towards an open space.

And the so-called Dragonite's back is just an afterimage left after reaching its extreme speed!

The giant mantis' pupils shrank, and before it could react, it was hit by a huge force from behind, and the surrounding scenery quickly receded.

What's the situation now! ?

The giant mantis, completely unable to comprehend the current situation, only felt a dull pain on its back, and was afraid that the armor that was as hard as refined steel had been dented.

Relying on its wings which still had some flying function left and could at least glide slightly to stabilize its body, the giant mantis looked around with a serious expression.

It didn't see Dragonite's movements at all!
Even Giant Mantis couldn't see it clearly, so it's even more impossible for Guzma.

But he was still able to give Mantis a chance to buffer the attack through command.

"Tsk, so fast? Then defend quickly!"

The fighting system's changing moves and quick defense can prevent preemptive attacks, and the response speed is just right.

Can--

Just a white rainbow flashed by, and after a muffled sound, the giant mantis flew high up!
And the "quick defense" posture it put up didn't work at all.

"How can it be!?"

Guzma's face changed drastically due to this scene that overturned his worldview. How could a Pokémon like Dragonite have such speed!

Compared to Guzma, the referee Kukui had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Dragonite and Speedster, these were memories he really didn't want to recall.

At that time, he was defeated in the Kanto Alliance challenge due to the extraordinary "super speed" of Dragonite used by Adu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

The extraordinary agility and speed, and the way in which he used techniques that broke through conventional techniques opened his eyes.

Even now, we are still studying how to make Lucario use such "super speed".

I just didn’t expect that Luo Mu’s Dragonite would also have such a fast special skill. It’s really surprising.

Unlike the indiscriminate bombardment of Giant Mantis at the beginning, the speed difference between the two sides was completely reversed when Dragonite used its amazing speed.

The only difference is that Giant Mantis's attacks have almost no ability to penetrate the defense, but Giant Mantis can't withstand Dragonite's attacks at all.

Before the flying Mantis landed on the ground, Dragonite appeared above its head, flapping its wings calmly, stirring the air around it.

The next moment, a strong wind mixed with countless sparks completely engulfed the giant mantis, forming a shocking fire tornado.

Given the difference in power and the four-fold restraint of the Heat Wind, it goes without saying that the Giant Mantis would suffer a fate like no other. The Giant Mantis that fell to the ground looked about 60 to 70 years old.

"So awesome!"

Shui Lian covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of surprise.

The battle was almost one-sided, and it had only been less than two minutes!
Guzma is really about to break his good teeth this time.

No matter how arrogant he was, he now realized the gap in strength between Luo Mu and himself.

No wonder that guy Kukui looked at me like that!
Guzma was already struggling with whether to put up a last-ditch effort or just run away.

Anyway, my brothers and Burmei are not here, and I have been struggling for so many years that I no longer care about face.

Rather than being beaten 3-0 like this, it would be better to run away early.

Luo Mu noticed that Guzma seemed to have the intention to retreat, and thought that this would not do. Only almost two minutes had passed, and he had to delay for a while longer.

I have tried my best to let go of the enemies while maintaining the suppression, but both the Giant Mantis and the Cannon Bug are too weak to fight. The person I am waiting for, who is said to be able to get to any place on Melemele Island "within three minutes", has not arrived yet.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

We can't let Guzma get away like this.

After a little thought, Luo Mu came up with a plan and suddenly called out to Guzma who was about to run away.

"I heard that you think Z-Moves are useless and meaningless, and that all trainers who use Z-Moves are trash?"

"Want to compete? If your trump card can withstand the Z-Move of my next Pokémon, you can consider this battle a win."

As if to increase the credibility of his words, Luo Mu took back the Dragonite, which he had not yet fully enjoyed fighting, and sent out Swampert.

At the same time, he took out the Z bracelet given to him by Merdan, the king of Ula'ula Island, from the bag on his waist and shook the ground-type Z pure crystal in his hand towards Guzma.

As expected, Guzma was successfully enraged and let out a loud shout mixed with anger.

".Stop looking down on others!"

The two feet that were originally planning to run away were firmly stuck to the ground again, and Guzma threw the Poké Ball in his hand with a gloomy face.

"Armored Warrior!"

A huge upright isopod covered with a hard shell as strong as diamond, with plate-like arms equipped with sharp claws that can be freely retracted. It looks quite handsome and appears accompanied by red light.

Kachi, who was watching the battle, changed his expression slightly. It was this armored warrior who took the "Super Extreme Flame Bomb" of the Exploding Turtle Beast and was unharmed. He then defeated the Exploding Turtle Beast with a single move!

After releasing the armored warrior, Guzma glared at Kukui, the referee.

After a little thought, he knew that it must be Kukui who revealed these things to Luo Mu. This guy is as insidious as ever!
Kukui, who was innocently stared at by Guzma, was also worried at this time. It seemed that he might not have mentioned Guzma to Luo Mu.

So how did he know these things?
Luo Mu didn't care about Kukui's entanglement. He calculated the time in his mind, looked at Guzma and asked, "Are you ready? Do you need me to give you some time to strengthen it?"

Guzma wanted to refuse, but after changing his mind, the corner of his mouth twisted.

"Even I think you are too arrogant."

"Armored warrior, use Iron Wall repeatedly!"

Guzma was well aware of the physical defensive capabilities of an armored warrior.

Regardless, it was impossible for that Pokémon, which was obviously good at close combat, to instantly kill an armored warrior who was resistant to ground-attribute moves and had usually taken on countless Z-moves.

This time, there is a chance!

While Guzma was being madly strengthened, Luo Mu made the decision not to allow Swampert to Mega Evolve.

After all, that would be no different from Dantei asking Gigantamax Charizard to use "Gigantamax Hellblaze" to fight Farfetch'd.

After a while, Guzma, who was ready, said in a deep voice: "Come on!"

Luo Mu did not respond, but lightly touched the ground-type Z pure crystal embedded in the Z bracelet on his wrist and whispered: "The end of the earth roaring and sky roaring."

Endless light poured out from the Z-pure crystal, and all the brilliant golden light flowed into the body of the giant swamp monster, and an extremely powerful air wave spread out.

"You managed to perform a Z move without jumping into your full strength stance?"

Kachi, who was watching the game, was full of disbelief.

"Not doing that old dance?"

Although he looked disdainful, Guzma, who was well-versed in relevant knowledge, frowned.

Luo Mu smiled but said nothing. He naturally would not waste time explaining to others that this was a method he finally developed after asking for help from Princess Bud Crown and with the help of Victini's power, which could allow him to skip the full-strength posture and directly release Z moves.

Now most of his physical strength and energy were taken away by the light, and the blessed Swampert felt as if endless power was surging in his body.

"Lagu——!"

Swampert roared towards the sky, with his arms raised high, muscles stretched to the maximum, and blue veins spreading like tree roots.

next moment.

boom!
The light wrapped in ground energy was accompanied by the pair of iron fists smashing towards the ground, and the entire Pokémon school trembled. Huge cracks exploded on the ground and spread directly towards the armored warrior.

The armored warrior who was unable to fly fell into the endless abyss without any resistance.

And the figure of Swampert disappeared at some point, sneaking into the ground with orange-red light and crashing into the armored warrior!
Guzma, who had seen such an outrageous Z-Move for the first time, was so angry that he shouted, "Armored Warrior, hold on!"

He even forgot to call himself "this uncle".

But the light green barrier was like a mirage to that force, and it shattered at the slightest touch.

A surging torrent of energy gushed out from the ground, with the madly shaking Pokémon School as the background, almost rushing straight into the sky!

This aura even alarmed the ancient being on Melemele Island.

The yellow lightning rushed from afar, landed in the crown of a big tree to conceal its body, and stared at the scene intently.

After a while, the earth's shrill tremors stopped, and the armored warriors who had lost their ability to fight were exposed to everyone.

There was no chance to even trigger the "Danger Avoidance" feature.

Kukui pressed down the brim of his hat, seeming a little reluctant, but finally announced: "The armored warrior loses the ability to fight. So far, all three Pokémon of Guzma have lost their ability to fight, so the winner is Luomu!"

Clap clap clap!

The moment Kukui finished speaking, thunderous applause came from the students watching around him.

But to the dazed Guzma, it sounded so harsh.

He lost, lost miserably, without any power to resist.

I think today's crushing defeat will be something he will remember for a long time.

The so-called strongest is just self-proclaimed.

"Next time. Next time I will definitely win back—"

Guzma muttered as he retracted the Armored Warrior, and then he staggered out of the Pokémon School.

Kukui opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

But at this moment, a shrill siren sounded from a distance, and in just a few breaths it arrived at the Pokémon School.

As Guzma looked incredulous, the dignified Miss Junsha stepped out of the police car, showed her ID and announced to Guzma: "Trainer Guzma, I will arrest you for "provoking disturbances" and "endangering public safety"! "
