Latios makes his debut in Chapter 515!
Kaoping stared at Latios, who was radiating a powerful sense of oppression in mid-air, and felt the surging energy emanating from the other party. His expression became serious.
This Latios might not be any easier to deal with than Darkrai.
His Hippowdon was not in good condition at the moment. It had been greatly depleted by withstanding Darkrai's Dark Pulse, and its chances of winning against Latios at his peak were almost zero.
Even knowing it was a futile effort, he still wanted to try.
Let's at least drag out Latios for a few more rounds so that others can see how powerful this Latios is.
The effects of the light wall and the magic space have now ended.
Fortunately, the "cold joke" effect that Hippo King set up before leaving the field had not completely disappeared. Fine ice crystals were still slowly falling in the air, and a faint chill remained in the field.
Although this hail has almost no effect on Latios, it is the only environmental factor that King Hippo can currently make some use of.
"King Hippo, Water Pulse!"
Kaoping quickly issued the order, his voice calm and steady, showing no sign of wavering.
In his battle against Latios, Kopin did not try to use his transformation skills as he had before, but instead showed his determination to attack from the very beginning.
Despite the excruciating pain, Hippo King slowly raised his arm, and aquamarine energy began to gather in his palm.
The water wave was gathering at a noticeably slower pace, and its light appeared somewhat dim, indicating that the injuries sustained in its previous battle with Darkrai had had a significant impact on it.
Seeing this, Dakdo simply shook his head slightly.
He didn't even bother to think much, knowing that one strike would be enough to defeat the already crumbling hippo king.
"Latios, clean and lustrous."
The moment the command was given, Latios moved.
But this operation was not simple; it was a kind of teleportation that seemed to have surpassed the limits of visual perception.
"call out--!"
A streak of blue and white light tore through the air like lightning, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
The moment Hippowdon released the Water Pulse that it had just condensed, Latios appeared in another location, easily and comfortably dodging the slow attack.
At the same time, a radiance, far more powerful than the fluctuations of water and containing terrifying spiritual power, had already condensed and taken shape in front of Latios!
Clean and lustrous, a powerful move exclusive to Latios.
Its light was dazzling and radiant, exuding a holy yet dangerous aura, as if it could purify all the filth in the world and destroy all obstacles.
not good!?
Kaoping's mind was filled with alarm bells, but it was too late.
Latios was too fast, so fast that King Hippo couldn't make any effective dodge or defensive maneuvers.
Koping, who had initially wanted to test Latios's abilities, immediately regretted it.
"boom--!!!"
The clean, glossy substance struck the already battered hippo king with perfect accuracy.
"ah……"
The Hippo King didn't even get to utter a complete scream before his body stiffened abruptly, and the light in his eyes vanished instantly, turning into a blank gray.
Its massive body, as if having lost all support, fell backward helplessly, crashing heavily onto the cold ground and stirring up a shower of tiny ice crystals.
The entire venue fell into a brief silence once again.
Latios defeated Hippowdon, who had previously been able to hold his own against Darkrai, with a single move.
This overwhelming power left everyone feeling suffocated.
In terms of both speed and power, this Latios seems to be in no way inferior to the previous Darkrai, and even shows signs of surpassing it.
"King Hippo is unable to fight!" The referee's voice broke the silence, quickly announcing the result.
Kaoping silently looked at the hippo king lying on the ground, his face showing no discouragement or frustration, only an almost cold calm.
He took out the Poké Ball, and a red light captured King Hippo.
"Thank you for your hard work, King Hippo," he said softly, his tone revealing little emotion.
He knew that conventional tactics were meaningless when facing an opponent of Latios's caliber.
Should we temporarily reconsider other tactics?
That's asking too much of people.
In this three-on-three battle, he had exhausted all the plans he could devise against Darkrai.
Want to create miracles...?
Taking a deep breath, Kaoping took the last Poké Ball from his waist.
This is the final battle, no matter what. I hope I can still make a difference.
"Go, hippopotamus!"
The baby ball traced an arc through the air, flashing red light!
"Bang—!!!"
A heavy thud resounded, and the ground seemed to tremble.
Hippopotamus, the last card that Kaoping had registered before the game.
"Roar--!!!"
As soon as the hippopotamus appeared, it let out a powerful roar.
With that roar, an invisible force instantly spread out.
Characteristic – Sandstorms.
The clouds changed in an instant.
The falling ice crystals suddenly stopped, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Immediately afterwards, a violent current of air appeared out of nowhere and swept across the entire arena!
The sky was quickly stained with a murky yellowish-brown, and countless fine grains of sand, as if they were alive, gathered from all directions, obscuring the sun.
My vision, which had been fairly clear, suddenly became blurry. The air was filled with the pungent smell of sand and dust. Tiny grains of sand, like countless tiny needles, kept hitting my skin, causing a slight but persistent stinging sensation.
In just a few seconds, the entire battlefield transformed from a chilly, icy stage into a desert hell with endless yellow sand.
Since it was uncertain what other Pokémon Darkrope possessed, Hippowdon, which, like Slowking, had extremely strong tactical abilities, was naturally chosen by Koupyo.
In mid-air, Latios's elegant figure swayed slightly amidst the raging sandstorm, forcing it to squint its eyes to protect itself from the oncoming sand.
The sand kept hitting its smooth, blue-white body. Although the damage was negligible, the constant interference and stinging sensation made it feel a slight, imperceptible irritation.
This sandstorm has already affected its movement speed.
On the ground, the hippopotamus's massive body stood steadily amidst the sandstorm, its gaze fixed firmly on Latios in mid-air.
The competition is about to begin.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the referee's voice to ring out.
The referee on the side of the field looked to both sides and, after confirming that neither side had any problems, waved his flag down.
"Game start!"
As the referee's voice faded, Dacto, determined to defeat Kaoping with all his might, seized the initiative.
Latios, Dragon Pulse!
