"Metagross, use Protect!"
When facing the raging plants of Serperior that rushed over like a wave, Gary calmly commanded the Shiny Metagross.
As the plants were about to hit Shiny Metagross, a light green barrier suddenly enveloped it securely.
Although the plants outside continued to attack this thin barrier, they could not break through.
"Use Calm Mind!" The Shiny Metagross, protected by the barrier, also used Calm Mind at this time.
After a flash of white light, the Calm Mind move was successfully executed, greatly enhancing Shiny Metagross's special attack and special defense.
"Continue with Frenzy Plant!" Rosa continued to command Serperior.
The plants that had momentarily stopped began to surge again, continuing to target Shiny Metagross.
"Iron Defense, then Gyro Ball!" Gary immediately gave the order upon seeing this.
Facing the relentless plants, a metallic sheen flashed on Shiny Metagross's body, and then it retracted its limbs to form a Gyro Ball, rolling towards the attacking plants.
"What is Gary planning?" Rosa couldn't guess Gary's intention for a moment.
"Forget it, let's increase the power and deal with Shiny Metagross first." Thinking of this, Rosa immediately shouted to Serperior, "Serperior, increase the power!"
So the branches attacking Shiny Metagross became thicker.
When the two moves clashed, it didn't happen as everyone imagined, with one side being knocked away or the other breaking through the attack.
Instead, Shiny Metagross in its Gyro Ball state actually used the plants to launch itself from the ground to the sky, suddenly appearing in the air.
"Use Heavy Slam!" With Gary's shout, Shiny Metagross in the air immediately aimed at Serperior and rolled towards it.
"Not good!"
Just as Rosa exclaimed, Shiny Metagross had already hit Serperior, knocking it back several steps.
"Continue to attack!"
After adjusting its direction, Shiny Metagross rushed towards Serperior again.
"Stop it, Serperior, use Dragon Pulse!"
Fortunately, Serperior used Dragon Pulse in time, and after a brief clash with Shiny Metagross, it neutralized Shiny Metagross's attack.
"Next is Magical Leaf!"
As soon as Rosa finished speaking, several knife-shaped leaves flashing green light, under Serperior's control, slashed towards Shiny Metagross like sharp knives.
"Psychic!"
Unfortunately, before they could hit Shiny Metagross, a blue wave controlled them all and sent them back to Serperior.
Fortunately, Serperior used Vine Whip in time to evade.
"Now the power is fully charged, Serperior, use Solar Beam!"
After hearing Rosa's order, Serperior immediately opened its mouth, and a beam of white and dazzling light pierced the sky, attacking Shiny Metagross.
"Hyper Beam!"
Shiny Metagross was not at all inferior. Under Gary's command, Shiny Metagross quickly gathered energy and used Hyper Beam to meet the incoming Solar Beam.
The two moves collided under the gaze of Gary, Rosa, and the crowd of spectators.
But after all, Shiny Metagross was much stronger than Serperior, so Serperior's Solar Beam only lasted for a short while before being overwhelmed by Hyper Beam.
As for the Hyper Beam, it continued to rush towards Serperior.
"Bang!"
Amidst a loud noise, the Hyper Beam hit Serperior as expected. Finally, in the explosion, Serperior was blown away and fell in front of Rosa with injuries all over its body.
"Serperior has lost its ability to fight, and Shiny Metagross wins!" The referee took a look at Serperior's condition and announced the final result.
"It's finally decided!" After seeing this scene, the host immediately stood up excitedly and shouted, "After Serperior lost its ability to fight and lay on the ground, the champion of this Hoenn League Conference has finally been decided. He is Gary from Pallet Town!"
"Let's cheer for him!"
Under the host's words, and with the final champion already announced, the atmosphere of the entire venue was immediately brought to a climax.
"That's great, Gary!" Ash stood up excitedly and shouted when he saw his friend Gary win the victory.
The audience around him also applauded the winner, Gary.
And Professor Oak, who was far away in Pallet Town, also saw this scene on TV and smiled broadly.
"Congratulations, Gary!" After Rosa recalled the defeated Serperior, she also walked up to Gary with a smile.
"Tell me, how does it feel to be the champion?"
"Well... well..." Gary smiled and said after pondering for a moment, "It feels great!"
"You guy."
So Gary and Rosa left the venue with laughter under the gaze of everyone.
After the finals, Hilda and Tyson were still competing for third place. As expected, Hilda overwhelmed Tyson with her absolute strength and won third place.
Finally, the champion, runner-up, and third place of this Hoenn League Conference were won by Gary, Rosa, and Hilda. It can be said that Gary and the other two were the best in this Hoenn League Conference.
At the final award ceremony, Gary and the other two stood on the podium and looked at President Goodshow who was walking towards them.
"Congratulations, Gary, Rosa, and Hilda, your matches were truly wonderful!"
President Goodshow generously offered his congratulations and presented trophies to Gary and the other two.
"Thank you, President Goodshow!" Gary and the other two also thanked President Goodshow after exchanging glances.
"Hahaha, you're welcome."
Looking at the polite Gary and the other two, Goodshow's old face was full of smiles.
"That old guy, Oak, is really blessed to have you!" At the closing ceremony, Goodshow couldn't help but sigh.
After hearing this, Gary and the other two looked at each other again, and then laughed together.
And it was at this moment that bunches of gorgeous fireworks exploded in the air, and this year's Hoenn League Conference came to an end.
