Chapter 995 "Hold On"
"Mr. Kayak."
"Yes, I know."
Kayak let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky.
"It's so obvious~ This person is really that strong..."
Leido didn't fully utilize his tactical rotation skills and command experience as a champion, while his opponent was simply playing around, not even giving any direction in the last match, relying entirely on the Pokémon's own performance.
Can you guys be a little more serious? The whole world is watching!
These champions all understood the situation perfectly well; once they heard about what happened on Lesson's side, they could comprehend the current predicament.
Tsering glanced at Kayak, whose expression had changed drastically, and smiled.
"How about we manipulate things a bit and have you two face off in the next match? This guy seems interested in playing against your star player."
Tse-chan pursed his lips and chuckled, clearly as if he was afraid the world wouldn't explode... It seems that stirring up trouble is a major hobby for champion trainers.
However, after a long silence from Kayak, Tsering turned his head and saw him nodding deeply.
"You really want to do this?"
"Didn't you think about the consequences of losing? You could have arranged it like this in the last game."
Kayak smacked his lips and gave a genuine smile.
"I won't manipulate it! Lotteries are only fun when they're completely random!"
…………
The raven leader was severely punished by the Frost Sword; now half of its wing has gone from fresh to frozen, and the taste is probably greatly diminished...
Caught off guard, the Shielded Swordsman froze, no longer daring to feign using Frost Sword, fearing he might accidentally send his opponent to their doom.
The Shielded Sword Monster was still muttering to itself—it had been following Shen Yu for so long, and although they hadn't fought many battles, this was the first time it had ever seen an attack with such completely off-target accuracy hit its opponent.
Now that the battle is over, I need to go back and practice some more, lest I become complacent.
"Crows in the sky, black fog!"
Leido didn't know whether the so-called "Frost Sword" was a physical move or a special attack move. Now that things had come to this... it was best not to let the opponent maintain that terrifying two-layer special attack boost.
Its name is Black Mist, but it is actually just a cloud of ice mist. Its color is a bit dark, and it spreads very quickly across the field. In a moment, it enveloped the Aegislash's body, and a flash of light... The Aegislash's ability changes were reset to zero!
Using the black mist that blurred vision, the Raven Leader could hide his figure within it, taking the opportunity to change positions around the Shielded Sword Monster and constantly use "cold water" on him.
Although this move did no damage to the Aegislash, his attack power did decrease steadily... With the Aegislash's leniency, he soon found himself with an attack power of "-6".
Unfortunately, the Frost Swordsman's Frost Sword can change its attack type (physical or special) depending on the attack method, so simply reducing its attack power won't work.
"The cannon beam broke through the black mist."
The Aegislash's single eye resembled a laser ball, its pupil gradually turning red as it gathered energy, which then burst forth suddenly!
"Whoosh-!"
It spun around, scattering the icy mist in its midsection, and the crow's figure gradually became clear... Only then did we realize that this guy was not only splashing cold water, but also doing a feather dance!
Shen Yu: I was wondering why the light effects on the Aegislash were moving so strangely... Just how much do you want to reduce its attack?
"Electromagnetic wave! Then it rapidly returns!"
Leido realized that the Raven leader and the opposing team were locked in a stalemate; the best course of action was to quickly withdraw and rotate the squad.
"Never mind that, just focus on making your body lighter."
This is the confidence that numerical values give Shen Yu, allowing him to shrug off the opponent's attacks and then focus on stacking buffs on his own.
The crow's head and body transformed into a green light, charging fiercely towards the Aegislash. Upon impact, it made a "duang~" sound and staggered backward, turning into a stream as it returned to its Poké Ball. In its place stood a large, fat dragon with small wings.
It's Dragonite again.
Shen Yu has to mention that Dragonite is incredibly versatile, with excellent base stats, a deep move pool, and it's even quite comfortable to lie on its chubby, soft belly...
Ah, maybe the last point isn't that important?
"Awoo!"
Wow! It was actually a proper dragon's roar! Not the dramatic "boo-hoo~".
"Mr. Ledo."
"Ok?"
Shen Yu took a breath, his expression slightly embarrassed.
"You wouldn't pull out a Mega Stone at this point and tell me your Dragonite can Mega Evolve, would you?"
Ledo blinked and tilted his head.
"what?"
Oh, it seems Mr. Ledo hasn't received news of the Great World update yet, then I'm relieved.
Shen Yu patted his chest reassuringly.
"Shall we then perform a sword dance?"
The attack rating of "-6" on his body seemed really unreliable. Driven by his obsessive-compulsive disorder, Shen Yu wanted to bring the attack level back to a slightly more normal level first...
"Dragonite! Extreme Speed!"
"King's Shield".
Shen Yu felt it was better to maintain his original fighting habits... so he secretly used sword dance.
So, on the surface, the Aegislash appears to have tucked its body back into its shield and opened its defenses before it even arrived at Divine Speed... but in reality, the King's Shield's energy wasn't showing up; instead, it was emitting an attack-increasing light effect.
"boom!"
The Dragonite slammed its head into the steel with a dull thud, but instead of retreating, it unleashed another Flame Punch!
"Bang! Bang!"
Two charred fist marks appeared on the shield of the Aegislash, but the glowing effect on its body continued!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
With its relentless sword dance, Aegislash's aura seemed to shift, its over three-meter-tall form gazing down at the Dragonite before it, its imposing presence gradually hardening.
"Frost Sword".
"Doragondes!"
Aegislash was very cautious this time—because he also had some understanding of the type advantages and disadvantages, but seeing Dragonite nimbly tumbling away from him in the air, he relaxed.
This time, it probably won't be so easy to hit.
The Shielded Sword Monster casually swung its sword—but the sword aura suddenly expanded the instant it struck! It transformed into a vast expanse of icy blue sword energy that stretched across the sky!
Dragonite: ?_??
What do you mean?
Ledo suddenly shuddered, and the command he was about to give turned into a clear "Hold the line".
The Dragonite's aerial dance came to an abrupt halt, its paws outstretched to create a protective light barrier—
Meanwhile, funny "tidbits of knowledge" appeared on the big screen where the audience watched the game.

It seems the official team also realized that there were far too many defensive plays in this match, so they jokingly added a leaderboard... and even listed the person who used the most defensive plays.
Surprisingly, one person's name is showing as it rises below.
