Inside the live stream room.
Qi Shu slammed his hands on the table, leaning forward so much that he almost knocked over the glass of juice in front of him that he had barely taken a few sips of.
The juice sloshed violently in the glass, almost spilling, but luckily she reacted quickly and caught it just in time.
"No, it's Cattleya's move!"
Qi Shu couldn't help but retort, "She actually used an ability swap to trade for Wingstrike? Hmm... I can only say it's a great idea..."
The reaction from the comments section was equally intense.
The right-hand bullet screen was flooded with text of various colors, so dense that it was impossible to read any of them without zooming in on the font.
[This is hilarious! Alakazam: Master, I switched, and then I realized I got nothing at all~]
[I screenshotted Alakazam's expression when it looked down at its hands, hahaha, totally bewildered.jpg]
[Winged Strike: You think my Disguise is an ability? You're wrong, it's the bond between me and my trainer!]
[Cattleya: Impossible! There are no dual-type Pokémon in this world! Vibrating Wings: That's why I said it's not a type, sister! Why don't you believe me?]
[A perfect example of being too clever for one's own good. The only effect of this whole operation was to replace one's own synchronization characteristic with an ancient activity that was of little use to oneself. Hilarious.]
On the battlefield, Hula's trait swap not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but also disrupted its own rhythm.
Although Alakazam's pause due to surprise lasted less than a second, it was enough for his opponent to detect in the pace of a championship-level battle.
Zhenyifa and others have been waiting for this opportunity.
Xia Chi didn't even need to issue explicit commands; the waveguide resonance between him and Zhenyifa had already transmitted tactical intentions faster than words could.
While Alakazam was still briefly hesitant, trying to figure out exactly what trait it had acquired, its crimson eyes lit up slightly.
Its wings gently folded inwards, and a pale purple halo emerged from its body.
meditation.
The surrounding superpower energy particles were drawn by the gravity of meditation, transforming into countless fine purple rays that surged into Zhenyifa's body.
Its special attack and special defense are both increasing simultaneously.
Add to that the layer of disguise that hasn't been broken yet... After the meditation enhancement, once the offensive rhythm begins, the shadow orbs and magical flames unleashed by the wings will be even more deadly than before, giving it a huge advantage.
Of course, Gadriya was well aware of Xia Chi's fighting style and growth curve.
We've collected too many cases and made too many deductions.
The most important thing for Zhenyi in the early stages of entering the market is to "establish a foothold".
Once it safely completes the first round of meditation enhancement, coupled with the double protection of the painted skin, subsequent attacks will become extremely difficult.
It will keep applying pressure with Shadow Balls as you try to break through the mask, and after you finally destroy the mask, you will find that what you are facing is a special attack turret that has been meditated for one or two stages.
Caldea slightly raised her chin without opening her lips, but Alakazam had already received the command.
The next instant, a pure, almost transparent wave of superpower shot out from its fingertips, aiming directly at the pinkish-purple membrane on Zhenyi's chest.
The beam of light was extremely thin, with no excess energy dissipating.
The pinkish-purple membrane covering Zhenyi's body shattered instantly under the precise strike of his telekinetic power.
The painted skin is to be removed.
Then, Cattleya raised her right hand.
On her slender wrist, a silver-white Z bracelet was facing the lights of the entire venue.
The bracelet had remained silent during the previous two rounds of battle, quietly resting on her wrist bone without emitting any light.
But at that moment, the silver metallic pattern on the surface of the bracelet suddenly glowed.
The pattern forms a "Z" shape, like some kind of ancient energy language being engraved, awakened in an instant by some long-dormant power.
The light patterns spread outwards from the center of the bracelet, and the brightness of the bracelet increases by one level with each lit line.
A very faint, high-frequency humming sound appeared in the air.
Alakazam hovered in mid-air, its eyes suddenly opening wide at the same moment Cattleya raised her bracelet.
A mark of energy appeared deep within her eyes, its shape exactly matching the light pattern on the Cattleya bracelet.
Then, a pale purple beam of light, constantly shifting and changing like the aurora borealis, rose up from beneath its feet.
Inside the beam of light, countless tiny points of light are rotating at an ever-increasing speed.
Immediately, the entire arena was bathed in purple light.
Super Z!
The entire audience held their breath almost simultaneously.
This is the first time a Z-Move has appeared since it was discovered.
In the audience, some people stood up instinctively in amazement, while others covered their mouths and gasped.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the light that had gathered at Hu Di's fingertips was finally released after reaching the critical mass.
It transformed into a massive beam of light that pierced the entire field, shooting towards Vibrating Wing at a speed several times faster than any Psychic-type move.
Wherever it passed, the rocky ground was silently eroded away by the aftershocks of energy from the edge of the beam of light, leaving not even dust behind.
At this moment, Zhenyifa had just finished his meditation.
The pale purple aura surrounding it hadn't even fully receded into its body yet.
Faced with this super-powered Z that moved at a speed almost like spatial teleportation, the Winged Beast had almost no room to dodge.
She only had time to cross and fold the pair of translucent ribbon wings in front of her.
Then, the beam of light completely engulfed it.
The pale purple beam of light bombarded the winged creature relentlessly, turning its body into a barely visible silhouette in the light, its ribbon wings violently torn backward by the shockwave.
Even though it has extremely high Special Defense and durability, it also has the blessing of Meditation.
But this is Super Z.
It was an attack that Alakazam unleashed, pushing its limits, backed by the full power of Cattleya's psychic abilities.
Without a doubt, this Psychic Z still delivered an extremely terrifying output.
The body of the winged creature trembled violently in the light, and the damage it suffered far exceeded the upper limit that any conventional Psychic-type move could cause.
Inside the live stream, Qi Shu's entire body involuntarily bounced slightly off the chair, his knee hitting the edge of the table.
The glass of juice on the table, which she had once steadied, finally couldn't escape this time. The glass shook violently, and a few drops of orange-yellow juice splashed onto her keyboard.
Without even glancing at the keyboard, her voice was filled with shock: "The energy intensity of this Z-Move..."
"This is almost comparable to a legendary Pokémon's full-power attack! Alakazam isn't a legendary Pokémon, folks! Alakazam! A regular Pokémon! A single Z-Move dealing legendary-level damage! Is that even possible?!"
The comments section was also stunned, with the right-hand comment bar surging upwards at a speed almost impossible to track with the naked eye.
Countless barrages of comments crowded together on the right side of the screen, forming a beam of light that constantly changed colors. Its density was no less than that of the Super Z on the field.
Holy crap! This power is probably even more terrifying than a Max Move!
[Nonsense! Don't you even know what this is? It's a relic of the Radiant God! A Z-Crystal formed from fragments of Necrozma's Prism. Rounding up, it's practically like the Radiant God himself possessed you and cast a skill for you. It would be abnormal if it wasn't powerful, right?]
[This is ridiculous! What a ridiculous claim about artifacts!]
[It's normal for Z-Moves to be powerful. After all, Z-Moves don't make Pokémon grow bigger or increase their HP like Dynamax, and we don't see the additional effects of Dynamax moves yet. Max Fire Blast can activate Sunny Day, Max Thunder can activate Electric Terrain, but so far, we haven't seen any additional mechanics for Z-Moves besides dealing damage. Who would play with a move that isn't powerful?]
Give me the Z-band, I'll play! You know, brute force can work wonders! Numbers are justice, instant kills are romance!
Wait, did they just unleash Fa Jie's second layer of disguise? Even psychic powers aren't effective against ghost fairies, right? This power is terrifying... I can't imagine what would happen if someone with a type advantage took this hit...
【————】
Xia Chi was also slightly surprised by the situation on the battlefield.
He certainly knew how powerful the Z-Move was.
But he didn't expect that the Z-Move in reality would be even larger than the one in the game, clearly not on the same level.
In the game, the power of a Z-Move is roughly equal to the maximum power of a special move of the same type multiplied by a fixed amplification factor. It is used to unleash a burst of power at a crucial moment, but that's about it.
If the opponent uses Protect beforehand, the effectiveness of the Z-Move will be greatly reduced.
However, the energy intensity displayed by this Super Z is far beyond what it appears in the game.
Xia Chi's waveguide power could clearly sense that Zhen Yifa's life force was almost depleted.
The blue halo representing life energy has changed from its original vibrant and bright blue-white in the waveguide's field of vision to a pale blue glow that flickers like a candle in the wind.
Although its special defense stat, determined by its base stats, is indeed relatively weak, its strength is undeniable, and its stats, boosted by the system's affinity bonuses, are far superior to those of ordinary members of the same race.
Alakazam's power as a Psychic Z-type Pokémon is evident.
What should I do? Should I use methods to share the pain?
Xia Chi gazed at the Hudi that was hovering at the other end of the field.
It remained in that cross-legged, suspended posture, its hands calmly folded on its knees, with traces of purple light particles from the release of Super Z still lingering on its fingertips.
Xia Chi shook his head inwardly.
If the opponent is skilled in teleportation and wants to share the pain, a direct hit would be extremely difficult, given that they still have teleportation available. The success rate would be close to zero.
We have to find another way.
Within a fraction of a second, Xia Chi rapidly deduced several tactical paths in his mind.
A direct, forceful attack?
Zhenyi discovered that his current health was insufficient to withstand any direct confrontation; a single Psychic or Illusion Beam from Alakazam could end the battle instantly.
Should we continue with meditation to strengthen our practice?
Alakazam won't give it that time.
If all else fails, just keep delaying...
Xia Chi's gaze fell on Zhen Yifa.
The dark purple energy at the edge of its wings was slowly deepening.
Those are the marks that the "Netherworld Mark" is automatically accumulating over time.
If you can drag it out until the "Ghost Mark" is stacked, and combine it with the Ghost Z that hasn't been used yet, you might be able to one-shot Alakazam.
However, as far as I can remember, Sister Fa hasn't used this kind of delaying tactic in a long time.
Well, we still have to show respect to Cattleya's Alakazam.
This was her trump card, which she had raised since childhood, and her most trusted partner.
Such an opponent deserves to be dealt with with the utmost caution.
With this thought in mind, Xia Chi made up his mind and abruptly commanded, "Share the pain!"
His tone was full of momentum, as if he wanted to launch a direct tactical counterattack right after the release of Super Z.
But when Zhenyi heard the command, a very subtle glint flashed in his crimson eyes.
It's not really about sharing the pain.
The "Share the Pain" move has a very obvious pre-cast animation, requiring a stable energy resonance channel to be established between the user and the target.
In high-intensity battles, this pre-cast animation is practically an invitation for the opponent to use teleportation.
What Xia Chi wanted was for Alakazam to use Teleport.
As expected, this pain-sharing tricked Hudi into teleporting.
Just as the faint blue energy chains began to appear on the wings of the flapping wings, Alakazam on the opposite side responded.
Gadriya's reaction speed was still astonishingly fast. Her superpower senses detected the gathering energy fluctuations that were sharing pain, and she immediately judged that she could not let this move hit her.
Given the current health of the Winged Beast, once the pain is successfully shared, the stamina of both sides will be evenly divided, and the huge health advantage that Psychic Z just dealt will be wiped out instantly.
Before the pale blue chain of light could extend to Alakazam, Alakazam's figure vanished into thin air, leaving only a ripple of psychic power slowly dissipating.
Immediately, it appeared on a remaining rock in the upper left corner of the field, lightly touching the stone surface with its toes, its posture relaxed.
But soon, Gadriya realized Xia Chi's feint.
The anticipation of sharing the pain is too long, too long to be a real, deadly threat.
Xia Chi couldn't possibly be unaware that her Alakazam had a teleportation ability. He knew it, yet he still used it.
So this pain-sharing was never meant to hit, but rather to buy time.
Without hesitation, Gadriya quickly adjusted her tactics and transmitted new instructions to Alakazam via telepathy.
trick!
Didn't you want to delay?
So, if I enhance it, will you take care of it?
The moment Alakazam landed, he floated back to a cross-legged position, his hands clasped on his knees, and a purplish-black aura of energy began to gather around him.
It is prepared to use trickery.
This move can boost special attack by two levels with an efficiency far exceeding that of meditation. Once successful, Wing Strike will have no chance of withstanding the next Psychic attack.
This is an open and honest scheme.
If you try to stall, I'll strengthen my position.
If you don't do anything, your team will be wiped out by the upgraded Alakazam.
If you're in charge, then how are you going to drag this out?
Xia Chi certainly couldn't let Hu Di strengthen himself at will.
His Aura Power detected the rapidly rising dark purple Special Attack wave the very first second Alakazam began to gather Nasty Plot energy.
"provocative!"
He decisively interrupted Zhenyi with a provocative attack.
Dark ripples suddenly solidified in Zhenyifa's pupils, and a distorted beam of energy shot out from its pupils, heading straight for Hudi!
