Hakuryu had mastered the power of Hail, while the Kingdra had mastered the power of Rain Dance!
Put Yun Guancheng in any university, be it Demon Capital University or Emperor Capital University, and he could become the core strength of the school team.
Fang Yuan's mouth twitched, not at all pleased by the other party's Rain Dance command.
Admittedly, Milotic's battle power would also increase in the rain, but the power amplified in Kingdra would definitely be more terrifying.
This Kingdra… must have the Trait of Swimming Freely.
In the rainy environment, its speed capability would be significantly heightened!!
Already more agile than Milotic, Kingdra's speed was now going to be even faster.
Rain Dance, Swimming Freely, High-speed movement… Compared to Monferno's Lightning Armor, the speed boost was even more straightforward and brutal.
Drip-drop…drip-drop…
Dark clouds gathered above the field, raindrops fell, and Kingdra became like a blue phantom, reaching ultimate speed, making it so that Milotic had to constantly shift its gaze to track it but was unable to do anything about it.
Boom!!
As Kingdra moved, the entire pool vibrated and churned.
Quickly, a huge wave formed, crashing down overwhelmingly towards Milotic.
"Endure it," Fang Yuan ordered.
"Mrrgrgh~~"
Swish!!
Facing the giant wave, Milotic once again conjured a Water Tornado, but with its current control and coordination ability, it couldn't fully integrate Twister with Whirlpool, only using the airflow from the partially formed Twister to speed up the Whirlpool for defense.
Because of the environmental change, the water barrier was larger, but against the surge created by the ultra-high speed, it lacked the defensive ability it had before.
The massive wave instantly shattered the water wall with the force of a smashing blow, following that, Kingdra "scaled the waterfall" and used its body to strike towards Milotic enveloped by the splashing water.
"We won!!" Seeing Kingdra's astounding performance, that blurred, hard-to-discern blue shadow moving through the water in the pool, the apprentices of Qinglong Dojo determined the state of the situation.
This Milotic was clearly far less powerful than Kingdra.
This was something Fang Yuan was aware of, but he had no choice. Milotic had only been trained for so little time, and even with high-grade nutrition like Energy Blocks, it wouldn't be possible to become very strong in a short period. He had something that the opponent would also have in abundance as long as they were willing to spend money.
"Twister!" As Kingdra scaled the waterfall, its speed was extremely fast, and with Milotic's body size, there was simply nowhere to hide, but there was also no need to hide.
A blue glow directly struck Milotic's body, speed being synonymous with power, such a high-speed assault could cause severe damage to Milotic even if it didn't result in an instant defeat.
But the Kingdra that collided with Milotic felt immediately that the wounds it caused were healing at an incredibly fast rate!
!
The wounds it caused were healing as it struck.
During this past month, Fang Yuan and Eevee had trained Milotic not in Water Series moves, but in using Healing type moves and in fine control of Life Energy!
What Fang Yuan meant by "endure it" was exactly this: to endure the attack while counterattacking with Charm!
There were no splashing waves, that was Water Ring, and combined with the high-speed regenerating cells, Milotic's injuries instantly recovered, making Kingdra's inflicted damage seem trivial.
Additionally, by coming into contact with Milotic, Kingdra was once again affected by Charm, slowing its reactions down by several beats…
"Mrrgrgh~~~" Milotic endured the pain from the strike, becoming immensely angry, and immediately began chanting Twister to blow Kingdra away.
Boom!!
After the Twister.
Whoosh!!
A stream of freezing light followed, aiming to freeze Kingdra mid-air.
However, under the Trainer's command, this time Kingdra quickly reacted, using the recoil from Water Gun to successfully dodge Milotic's Quick Freeze Beam.
Splash!
After Kingdra fell back into the pool, the entire place fell silent. An undecided clash???
"No, from the perspective of physical strength and energy consumption, Fang Yuan seems to be at a disadvantage," Master Yun Miao silently mused as the referee. Although Fang Yuan had presented himself as an equal match for Yun Guancheng, it was evident that Milotic was using up more energy.
Even if it could heal its injuries, without energy, it would be unable to continue fighting. However...the rainy environment might allow Milotic to hold on a bit longer?
Puff!!
One exchange was enough to reveal Fang Yuan and his team's hand to Yun Guancheng, with Kingdra once again moving and leaping into a mysterious yet powerful dance!!
Dragon Dance!
Unfortunately, Milotic had no means to break through against Kingdra, which kept strengthening itself relentlessly.
Merging with the water flow, Kingdra launched another vigorous assault while Milotic refused to give in easily, using a combination of Water Ring and Self-Regeneration along with its Charm trait to slowly inflict damage on Kingdra.
"Puff, puff, puff—"
After reaching its peak in speed enhancement, Kingdra no longer chose close combat, instead continually used long-range moves to hit and run.
It even used its great moves that consumed a vast amount of energy.
In the end, during the collision of water against water, accompanied by a large amount of mist, meteors condensed from the myriad Dragon Stars smashed through the water flow. Amidst the swirling blue and purple energy, Milotic let out a light groan, clearly sustaining grave injuries from Kingdra's great move.
Whirr!!
Following Self-Regeneration and Water Ring, Milotic conjured a droplet brimming with vitality. As the droplet merged into its body, combined with Self-Regeneration, Milotic's injuries were once again fully healed in an instant.
This scene caused Yun Guancheng somewhat of a headache; Milotic might not have been strong, but its healing ability was terrifyingly powerful.
This time, however, Milotic seemed unable to continue fighting.
"Is it no good…?" Fang Yuan looked toward the pool. This time, after recovering, Milotic finally couldn't continue fighting, completely exhausted and lacking the spiritual power to keep battling.
This method of combat… the energy consumption was still too great.
In the moment that Milotic closed its eyes and collapsed, Fang Yuan took out a Poké Ball and recalled it. This battle was lost by Milotic, but with its super healing physique developed from the Gold Energy Blocks, Fang Yuan saw Milotic's potential for the future. Perhaps one day, it would be able to endure battles spanning days and nights like those Legendary Pokémon, such as Kyogre, with inexhaustible physical strength!!
"Damn… what's the deal with this Milotic… the battle lasted for six whole minutes."
"I counted… at least a dozen fatal injuries were completely ignored, that's just monstrous."
The apprentices at Qinglong Dojo were all gossiping, even Master Yun Miao couldn't help but take notice, not understanding how Fang Yuan managed to cultivate such a Milotic.
"This trainer introduced by the Fairy King, although not strong, really has a way with cultivating Pokémon…" the crowd discussed.
Only one left…
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan took a deep breath, looking at Kingdra which had been enhanced to the extreme in speed. So... now it was his turn to counterattack.
Fang Yuan took out another Poké Ball and unleashed another Pokémon into the sky.
The next moment, the complete appearance of a shiny Gengar was revealed before everyone!
The appearance of the shiny Gengar instantly halted the discussion… and before the crowd could react, Fang Yuan already commanded Glutton to attack preemptively.
Facing Kingdra, possibly at its ultimate speed enhancement, neither Fang Yuan nor Glutton was flustered.
Because in just an instant, Glutton disappeared and reappeared, bearing a terrifying smile, emerging from Kingdra's watery reflection.
"Not good!!" The eeriness of Glutton exceeded Yun Guancheng's imagination, and he immediately blanched.
Where the eye reached, shadows were coordinates, Swap Field activated, and Gengar managed a Black-eyed Shock with Anchoring Method. As the shadows of both Pokémon became connected, Kingdra froze as if terrified, completely immobilized.
Stiff body… energy flow obstructed…
Kingdra struggled furiously, trying to break free with its powerful strength. It wouldn't be difficult for it to escape given its current power, and it was on the verge of breaking free from the shadow, but…
The combo moves of Glutton were already honed to perfection, not giving it any chance.
Whoosh!!!!
The next moment, several Shadow Balls were consecutively conjured by Glutton. As its fingers flicked downward, countless Shadow Balls pummeled Kingdra in an instant.
Boom!!!!
The aftermath shocked everyone in the arena, and Yun Guancheng's smile from his previous victory froze as he watched, utterly astonished. Despite Kingdra's depleted health, its power wasn't in question, but…
Even Fang Yuan felt moved by the significant change in Glutton's power after accepting the inheritance from Thousand-year Gengar. Having mastered these abilities, Glutton should soon surpass the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster. At least Monferno wouldn't stand a chance against Glutton now…
