Pokémon: When the World Changed

Chapter 576 571: The Ultimate Final

"Originally, I wanted to meet you in the final. But it seems that now it's your turn. This Kevin is very strong, be careful."

Lucien's expression was not very good; he hadn't expected to lose in such a crushing manner.

"Yeah, don't worry," Ethan nodded with a serious expression.

Looking around, the dragon messengers were still discussing the previous battle.

Naturally, they began comparing Ethan with Kevin.

If it were a 2 vs 2 battle, the two could truly fight on equal footing, but if it was a 3 vs 3...

When the topic reached Ethan's friends, all of them frowned, convinced that he had no chance of winning.

"In a 3 vs 3, you still have some ace up your sleeve, right?" Lucien asked with a smile after hearing those discussions.

"Ah, that's for sure," Ethan replied with a smile. "I'm going to win this battle."

Ethan showed a confident smile.

...

The next day.

Dragon Island was exceptionally lively.

Around the island, numerous Dragon-type pseudo-legendaries appeared once again.

Since that day was the last of the competition, those Pokémon could also begin choosing their favorite companions.

Although most had come only to watch, there were still two or three Dragon-type pseudo-legendaries that showed great interest in the dragon messengers.

"Eleven Dragon-type pseudo-legendaries... This way, the opportunities increase quite a lot."

Seeing those Pokémon gather to choose companions, the dragon messengers became excited; wasn't this opportunity exactly why they had participated in the Dragon Messenger Battle?

"Look, Kevin has arrived!"

At that moment, a dragon messenger pointed toward the sky, where Kevin could be seen riding a Hydreigon.

"Ethan has also arrived. The final battle of the tournament is about to begin."

Seeing Ethan arrive at the battlefield riding Charizard, someone else shouted.

"I didn't think I would end up facing you," Kevin said with a smile.

When he had first seen Ethan's team of five Pokémon, he had even mocked him; he really hadn't expected the two of them to end up on the grand final stage.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either," Ethan replied with a slight smile.

Hadn't he said that one day he would give him a good slap in the face?

That moment had finally arrived.

"Don't worry, two battles will be enough. I'll send two Pokémon to defeat you."

Kevin showed a confident smile, enlarged a Poké Ball in his hand, and released a ray of white light.

On the field appeared a robust Salamence, with a pair of blood-red wings on its back.

"Salamence again..."

Ethan took a deep breath, and Charizard also entered the field.

After appearing, both Pokémon stared at each other and immediately entered battle mode.

Charizard directly activated its Sunny Day Dragon form, while flames representing pure fury began to burst from its opponent's body.

Sunny Day Dragon vs Blazing Fury Dragon!

In the first battle, it had been Ethan's Charizard against Clyde's Salamence, also a battle between Sunny Day Dragon and Blazing Fury Dragon.

And in the final battle, the opening scene turned out to be exactly the same, except that this time Clyde's Salamence had been replaced by Kevin's even more powerful Salamence.

Moreover, Kevin's Salamence, after activating the Blazing Fury Dragon form, also entered the state of the move Outrage! The overlap of both powers completely transformed it into a demonic dragon wrapped in flames, raising its strength to the extreme.

Boom, boom, boom!

In the air, two enormous dragons wrapped in fire clashed endlessly, scattering a rain of flames across the sky.

"What strength... both of them are incredibly powerful!"

Seeing the aerial battle, everyone was mesmerized.

Even the Pokémon watching the battle showed a special shine in their eyes.

Immediately, several of them felt drawn in, revealing looks full of longing.

Boom, boom, boom!

Finally, with a brutal clash between the two, the flames set half the sky ablaze.

Then, two silhouettes fell from the fire and crashed simultaneously onto the ground.

"A... a tie!?"

Seeing both Pokémon fall at the same time, everyone was stunned.

The result was unexpected, yet reasonable at the same time.

Both were too strong; in the final clash, the total explosion of their energy was not something an ordinary Pokémon could withstand.

"It seems I underestimated you," Kevin said with a smile, taking out his Poké Ball to recall Salamence.

Ethan did the same, returning Charizard and taking out Tyranitar's Poké Ball.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something. Of my three Pokémon, Salamence is the weakest."

After putting Salamence away, Kevin took out another Poké Ball and looked at Ethan with a playful smile.

Hearing that, everyone froze for a moment.

Salamence... the weakest?

Immediately afterward, a wave of sharp inhalations could be heard.

If such a powerful Salamence was Kevin's weakest Pokémon, just how terrifying would the other two be when they unleashed their full strength?

While the crowd discussed heatedly, a dragon's roar was heard, and a figure landed on the field.

A Garchomp!

"It's Garchomp!"

Seeing the Pokémon enter the scene, Lucien's gaze tightened.

Then he looked at Ethan, with a worried expression in his eyes.

From Kevin's words, it was clear that this Garchomp was probably even stronger than Salamence.

Moreover, in a sandstorm environment, a Ground-type Garchomp would have no disadvantage, being able to unleash its maximum combat power.

"Garchomp... This is really troublesome."

Ethan also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Among all Dragon-type pseudo-legendaries, the one he least wanted to face was precisely Garchomp.

"Then I'll have to ask you for another favor, Tyranitar."

With Tyranitar's entrance, a violent sandstorm began to rage across the field.

This time, without Goodra's interference, the power of Tyranitar's sandstorm reached its peak. In an instant, the yellow sand covered the entire field, vaguely revealing the two silhouettes within it.

"Go, Garchomp!"

As soon as the battle began, Kevin gave the order.

Garchomp's figure shot forward. As it ran, the wings on its arms spread out, faintly transforming into air blades more than a meter long.

"Air blades?! This Garchomp uses them as a regular attack method!"

Ethan was slightly surprised.

Although Garchomp has the ability to generate air blades while running, it was the first time he had seen one that had developed this technique to the point of turning it into a primary attack.
