Chapter 405: The Champion’s Final Stand

Wallace’s fourth Pokemon was Starmie, Level 92.

Icy Wind.

This was the only move Starmie managed to release.

Wallace’s strategy was to slow down Zeraora.

But this Icy Wind didn’t break through the lightning shield surrounding both Zeraora, and the deceleration effect wasn’t achieved. Then it was sent packing directly by a Thunder.

Wallace recalled Starmie and sent out his fifth Pokemon.

A Ludicolo, Level 93.

Ludicolo, with both Water and Grass typing, wasn’t weak to Electric-type moves.

Come to think of it, this Ludicolo should be Wallace’s specially bred Pokemon for rain teams. Because Ludicolo had abilities like Swift Swim and Rain Dish that were perfect for rainy weather, the former doubled speed, and the latter provided continuous health recovery. John just didn’t know which ability Wallace’s Ludicolo possessed.

However, no matter what the ability was, it made no difference.

In front of Zeraora, they were all small fry!

“Ludicolo, Water Pledge!” Wallace commanded immediately upon entry.

In the center of the battlefield, there was a huge abyss opened by Whiscash’s Tectonic Rage. If Pokemon couldn’t fly, they would fall into the abyss as soon as they appeared on stage.

Ludicolo was now in the abyss.

After receiving its master’s instruction, it immediately slapped the ground with both hands, drawing water from underground to fill the abyss.

“Thunder!” John commanded with a blank expression.

Ludicolo staying in the abyss was like being in a cage, it didn’t even have a chance to dodge.

Zeraora stretched out its claws toward a point in the abyss.

BOOM!

The white thunder condensed into a pillar within the dark clouds and instantly struck into the abyss.

“Ludicolo is unable to battle! Zeraora wins!” the referee announced the result.

In this full-team battle, Wallace had already lost five Pokemon, and he only had his last Pokemon left.

The scene had reached its climax.

And what his last Pokemon was, everyone present knew, including John.

Just like everyone knew that Lance’s trump card was Dragonite, and Steven’s trump card was Metagross. Each champion had their own signature Pokemon.

Wallace’s trump card Pokemon was Milotic!

Taking a deep breath, Wallace looked up at the sky as the clouds gradually dispersed.

The rain brought by Politoed had finally died down.

Looking at the entire battlefield, the abyss had been filled with water, and there were a few huge emerald green lily pads floating on the water’s surface. He had used his other Pokemon as much as possible to create the final battle conditions for Milotic.

“Partner, this last match is up to you. Let our opponent witness our bond!” Wallace threw a Pokeball into the air.

The Pokeball opened in mid-air, and a blue water orb emerged.

The blue water orb exploded in mid-air, every drop of water dispersed as much as possible, turning into water mist. Under the light, the water mist shone like bright starlight.

Milotic appeared like a true dragon shuttling through the clouds and mist, twisting its graceful figure, surrounded by sparkling stars, falling down, diving into the abyss, and quickly leaping out of it, landing on the lily pad, elegant and serene.

“It’s so beautiful!” John sighed in admiration.

Worthy of being the Contest champion Wallace, the Pokemon he raised was not only beautiful in appearance but also possessed a temperament that other Pokemon couldn’t match.

Presumably the beauty of this Milotic should already be at maximum value, right?

However, beauty alone couldn’t win battles. It was Water-type, and it was no different from other Pokemon in front of Zeraora.

“Thunderbolt!” John commanded.

Let’s end this duel!

“Milotic, use Attract!” Wallace commanded at the same time.

Zeraora was about to attack, but Milotic used its move faster because it only needed a blink.

Immediately, Zeraora’s eyes became heart-shaped, and it entered the “infatuated” condition! The electricity coursing through its body collapsed, and it failed to use Thunderbolt.

Compared with the Attract move that only needed a blink of an eye, Thunderbolt, which required condensing and emitting electricity, was still too slow!

“Beauty really is a weapon…” John was speechless.

Although the Attract move was only effective on the opposite gender, causing Pokemon to fall into the “infatuated” condition.

But… what did Milotic’s Water and Dragon egg groups have to do with Zeraora?

Wait, was it possible that some Pokemon really had a thing for serpentine creatures?

John could only attribute it to the fact that Milotic’s beauty had reached a level that transcended species.

“Milotic, use Hydro Pump!” Wallace immediately attacked.

Infatuated with its condition, Zeraora was like a fool who could only giggle and drool.

Milotic immediately blasted into the air with a powerful Hydro Pump.

BEEP!!!

Suddenly, a sharp whistle filled the battlefield.

Hearing the whistle, Zeraora immediately dispelled the infatuated condition, activated Agility, and dodged the Hydro Pump attack in midair.

Wallace couldn’t help but cast his gaze in the direction of the whistle.

He saw that John was holding a red whistle in his hand.

“What’s that?” Wallace frowned.

John silently put away the whistle. This item was called the Red Flute, and it had the effect of curing the infatuated condition.

Similar to this whistle, he had four more: blue, yellow, white, and black ones.

This set of flutes was made by him through Volcanic Ash at an NPC when he passed Route 113.

Unlike the Red Flute that could cure the infatuated condition, the Blue Flute could cure sleep, and the Yellow Flute could cure confusion. The black and white whistles were related to the probability of encountering Pokemon.

This item didn’t exist in reality, nor could it be used in official competitions. John usually only used them in field battles or battles without rules.

But in the game, under the game’s rules, these items could be used.

“Zeraora, Thunderbolt!” John commanded.

Beauty was useless, and Milotic’s greatest weapon had failed.

The battle would soon be over.

Zeraora raised its hand, its whole body charged with electricity, and in the next second, white thunder condensed into an arrow, directly blasting toward Milotic!

Wallace hurriedly shouted a command.

“Milotic, Aqua Ring, block it!!”
