Chapter 601 The Victor, Qingyu!
After Milerton, the "dragon" who calmly stared at Gigantamax Charizard, made its dazzling appearance, the atmosphere at the scene once again boiled over.
"Teacher Yu's Milletton has this trick up his sleeve? I don't think I've ever seen him use it before?"
"Because I've never been to Galar before—Dynamax can almost only be used in designated areas."
"Just because you haven't used it before doesn't mean Teacher Yu doesn't know it. Didn't Teacher Yu use so many tactics for the first time on his live stream before, and still dominate everywhere, right?"
"That makes sense—I have a feeling this Milton might be Teacher Yu's trump card."
"A fire-breathing dragon? Today I'll show you what a real dragon looks like!"
Not only the audience, but also Dan Di on the field frowned and stared at the big guy on Qing Yu's field.
Information about this Milton —
It's a pitifully small number.
It seems to rarely appear in formal occasions, and even though it has appeared as a main player in the Road to the Championship, its strength in matches is difficult to judge.
So that's how it is. Another surprise attack?
Moreover, it was also a targeted opponent that used Dynamax and was clearly going to fight against itself.
Dan Di smiled.
"When it comes to Dynamaxing, I'm second to none!"
"Charizard, use Max Earth!"
"roar"
The flames spewed out by the Gigantamax Charizard instantly ignited, and a powerful energy surged from its body.
The afterimage formed by the Dynamax stomped heavily on the ground, and the ground immediately began to tremble violently.
Cracks appeared simultaneously in four directions around Millerton, and the destroyed field began to rise abnormally and quickly converge toward the center.
Even a Mega Milton in its Dynamax form would be in a bad way if hit by this move that counters it!
Every spectator in the stands knew this perfectly well, but Qingyu seemed oblivious, failing to react for a long time.
Only when "Max Earth" had fully formed did he suddenly raise his head and shout, "Millardon, use Max Air!"
"Kah!"
Perhaps sensing the increasingly heated atmosphere of the arena, Milerton surprisingly became passionate today, and its voice finally had the aura of a legendary Pokémon.
As Qingyu's voice fell, the Dynamaxed Milton, which had been prepared, also took a step forward.
However, it is different from Charizard.
Millerton chose to use its strength to stomp out, and it actually managed to jump out of the huge killing range, gliding in the air and charging forward without losing momentum.
"Millardon can actually fly?"
"It doesn't even have wings, so how did it learn Max Air?"
"The winged Charizard is using Dynamax Earth, while the wingless Milton is using Dynamax Fly. This is truly—"
'
The two Dynamaxed Pokémon on the field attacked and defended, but in the end, Qingyu, who had anticipated Leon's strategy, had the upper hand.
"Awooo!!!"
"roar--!"
Milton, gliding smoothly, launched a flying kick forward. Charizard, which had become much clumsier after Gigantamaxing, was unable to dodge and could only stretch out its two short arms to block it as much as possible.
Fortunately, Milton's close-combat ability was not strong to begin with, and he ultimately failed to inflict much effective damage.
But just as Charizard was about to retaliate—
Just moments ago, Milton was full of imposing presence. Suddenly, it dodged and pulled away from it by over a hundred meters in one go.
It dodged directly out of the effective firing range of the opponent, a move that even made the veteran Splatoon laugh.
"It seems Milton isn't very good at using flight techniques, is it?"
Dan Di saw this and roughly guessed what Qing Yu was thinking.
"It doesn't matter, I've already achieved my goal."
Qingyu pursed his lips and gave a thumbs-up to the Dynamaxed Milton in front of him.
In fact, Milton himself had never seen this form before.
Milton is a brand new Pokémon that appeared in the Mori series along with the Padina region, while Dynamax was a phenomenon exclusive to the Galar region in previous generations.
The connection between the two generations of works is very shallow, so he naturally wouldn't be able to use Dynamax when playing Pokémon that appeared later.
But it doesn't matter, Dynamax is basically just four words: Dynamax Fly!
Fortunately, Milton could learn a simple acrobatic trick, which, though not very powerful, was sufficient.
With the added effect of Max Air, Milton's already exaggerated speed reaches an even higher level.
Even in its Dynamax form, it is far more agile than Charizard.
Dante was clearly aware of this as well.
If Qingyu is determined to stall for time, he might actually be able to stall until the Dynamax energy is exhausted and Charizard reverts to its original form.
At that time, his only remaining hope for a comeback will also be shattered.
So he spoke again without hesitation.
"This time, I'll use Max Dragoon!"
Since it's extremely likely to be dodged, use other special moves that can't be dodged and are equally effective at countering your opponent!
"Hoichi"
A ball of deep purple energy immediately gathered in the Charizard's mouth, and after merging with the flames, this power visibly began to rage.
A crimson flame surged from Charizard's proud eyes.
The prototype of this move should be Reverse Scale?
Qingyu narrowed his eyes and immediately understood the Pill Emperor's thoughts.
Is this a move to force a direct attack?
But is there a possibility—
Actually, from the very beginning, my goal was to seize the opportunity and instantly defeat the critic.
You really think I only know how to use basic tactics to slowly torture my opponent?
"Millerton—!"
Qingyu's voice trailed off, leaving a long trailing tone in the air.
The audience immediately held their breath, seemingly waiting for his final verdict.
"Use Max Lightning!"
Both sides once again chose to launch a direct attack.
Emperor Dan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although both sides use moves that are effective against each other, Charizard's defense against special attack moves will become stronger after using Max Earth.
Milton's Max Lightning is clearly classified as a Special Attack move.
Even if it is incredibly powerful, it shouldn't be able to directly—
"boom!!!"
The sudden thunder interrupted Dan Di's thoughts.
He subconsciously looked up and discovered that several arcs of electricity had appeared on Millerton's body, which had been dull and lifeless just moments before.
It's clear they're conserving their strength, preparing for the next strike.
With each breath of Milton, the electric light that was dancing on its body flowed throughout its entire body as the engine propelled it.
It wasn't until its metallic shell suddenly emitted a white light that Milton, having completely unleashed its power, finally revealed its full strength.
Using electricity and magnetism, it can easily levitate above the ground with just its tail, while its technologically advanced limbs spread out freely.
Its outstretched body resembled a high-precision artillery turret, with electricity surging from the ground along its tail continuously converging towards the center, gradually forming a pure energy body similar to a destructive death ray.
and many more?
Dan Di suddenly realized something and abruptly lowered his head to look at the battlefield that had been shattered in the previous attack.
After the attendant appeared, there should have been a layer of spiritual energy on the ground.
But now————
The pink spiritual energy, barely perceptible to the naked eye, had somehow been replaced by an electrical field that crackled intermittently.
? ?
Dan Di finally realized that something was wrong.
Is Milton also a manufacturing site?
My attention was completely focused on getting Charizard to transform into its Gigantamax form, and I didn't even notice this point—
If there is an electric field, even if Charizard has been strengthened, this Max Lightning move would be very deadly to it.
At this point, using Max Guard in time might still offer a chance to save the situation.
"Charizard————"
Dan Di instinctively wanted to speak, but when he looked up and met his partner's battle-ready gaze, his voice immediately stopped.
He doesn't have much time to think right now and can only make choices based on instinct.
So, just a breath later, Dan Di suddenly smiled.
"Charizard, let's go head-to-head and defeat our opponent!"
"Hoichi"
With its crimson eyes, the Charizard took a heavy step forward, its sharp teeth and claws flashing through the air, leaving several afterimages as it accelerated towards Milton.
But for Milton—
This time, I won't give it a chance to get close again. I only need one Max Lightning to send this Charizard home!
'
After charging up, Milton launched its attack at zero frames, and countless surging lightning bolts instantly engulfed Charizard.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, the audience could only hear the fierce roar of the fire-breathing dragon, which was quickly drowned out by the deafening thunder.
"Charizard!"
Dan clenched his fists and called out his partner's name with all his might, hoping to lend it his power in this way.
He did it.
"roar-!!!!"
Within the invisible cage formed by countless bolts of lightning, a large, somewhat charred hand emerged first.
The battered and bruised Gigantamax Charizard dragged its broken body forward step by step out of the cage, most of its body charred black from continuous lightning strikes.
Even so, despite its exhaustion, it still managed to move forward step by step entirely by willpower.
Seeing this, Millerton's expression also turned serious, instinctively wanting to be wary of a possible counterattack.
But the worst-case scenario it had anticipated did not materialize.
"roar--!"
Charizard slowly approached, and only when Milton was almost within reach did it finally have the chance to throw a punch.
But that was all there was to it.
Charizard's weak, short arms barely touched Milton's body before it seemed to have exhausted all its strength.
As its gradually subsiding roar faded, Charizard's Gigantamax form could no longer be maintained.
In the end, the Gigantamax Charizard, bathed in flames, vanished in a blur, leaving only a Charizard lying on the ground, unconscious.
"What's going on???"
The local audience in Galar looked on in disbelief.
They simply couldn't imagine the scene of the strongest champion and his Charizard partner losing.
But now, this is actually happening right in front of them.
And it wasn't a close defeat, a narrow loss where the two sides were evenly matched, but a complete and utter crushing defeat.
It wasn't just this Charizard that was instantly defeated; the entire battle was like that.
Their strengths are completely on different levels?
How is that possible!
In stark contrast to the dismay of the Galar locals, Qingyu's fans were much happier.
"I knew Teacher Yu was prepared! Milton's ultimate move might have been specifically saved to deal with Dan Emperor!"
"Teacher Yu is amazing! He kept his secrets hidden until the semifinals of the Masters Tournament. He'll never run out of tricks up his sleeve, right?"
"Never mind, the situation is one-sided anyway. I hope Teacher Yu can keep it up and crush everyone to win the championship in the next match!"
'
"6
"Dan Di narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought."
Even the Charizard—
My good partner, who has always brought me victory after victory, was defeated so easily this time.
Without a doubt, I have lost this match.
The situation appears to be 3-0, but in reality, their backcourt is almost entirely out in the open, and they have virtually no chance of winning against Qingyu's full lineup.
only-
"The game isn't over yet, so saying discouraging things isn't my style!"
Suddenly, Dan Di raised his hand and pointed at Qing Yu with a smile.
"Now, defeat me head-on and advance to the finals!"
"I won't so easily pronounce a death sentence on myself!"
Qingyu smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I understand."
"So, I'm going to go all out from here!"
"What?!"
"Leon's final Dragapult was actually locked in position by Aoba's Mewtwo beforehand."
"From providing support in the past to accurately predicting the future!"
"Dorambaruto has fallen!!!"
"Match ends, score 6-1!"
"It's a victory for Aoba!"
The commentator delivered the verdict with a passionate roar, and Dan's image on the big screen quickly turned black and white, eventually being pushed aside by Qingyu's image on the other side.
A large "win" sign appeared in the center of the screen, announcing that Qingyu had won the first "supreme ticket" to the finals.
"Teacher Yu, you're amazing!!!"
"I never expected that Mr. Dan Emperor's invincible status would actually be broken—"
"Anyway, it was a fantastic match!"
"Mr. Dan, please don't take it to heart. We'll have plenty of opportunities to catch up later. This Masters Tournament journey is definitely not the end!"
On Galar's side, the audience's emotions went through several changes within a short match.
From initial hope to confusion and bewilderment in the middle of the game, and finally to the helplessness and regret after realizing the vast difference in skill level.
In the end, everyone accepted Dan's defeat and comforted him in their own ways.
Seeing this, Dan Di could only smile helplessly, scratch his head, and look at Qing Yu who was walking towards him.
"I lost."
"So, let's carry on with my resentment."
"as well as----"
"I sincerely wish you success in becoming the champion, Aoba."
"Next time, it will be my turn to challenge the champion."
After the battle, the previously confused Dan Di felt relieved.
He not only reached out his hand to Qingyu, but also smiled and accepted his defeat with composure, even making a few self-deprecating remarks.
Seeing this, Qingyu also smiled and reached out to bump fists with him.
"Yes, I will!"
"Once you reach the finals, every trainer has only one goal, and that is..."
"Go and lift that damn championship trophy, and be crowned king amidst the cheers of the crowd!"
"Therefore, whether it's green or red in the final, I will continue to give it my all."
