Mammon's entire Water-type team?
Wallace was quite curious at this moment, because in terms of pure Water-type Pokémon mastery, he, Wallace, was currently the best in the entire world!
None other!
Water-type is definitely a popular type among all types, and within the entire Trainer community, Water-type Trainers are considered to have decent strength.
But this is only relatively speaking for the overall group. Currently, the only Champion-level Trainer truly specializing in Water-type is Wallace.
As for other well-known Water-type Trainers, Misty is still not very famous. Adam of Hoenn, Crasher Wake of Sinnoh, Marlon of Unova, Siebold, and others are not considered very strong.
Of course, for the general public, these Gym Leaders are already considered Superior.
If we're talking about truly good strength, it would be Adam of Hoenn and Siebold of Kalos, both of whom are Elite Four Class-level.
As for the others, they are truly ordinary.
"Then I'll have to see for myself."
Wallace became interested. He didn't expect Mammon to actually put together a Water-type team.
"Ah~ That's why I specifically chose you, Master Wallace, as my opponent. After all, when it comes to Water-type Trainers, there's no one more professional than you, Master Wallace."
Mammon's lips curved slightly, his smile gentle and sunny, and his tone unhurried, very calm and elegant.
Hearing Mammon's words, Wallace couldn't help but puff out his chest. That's right, he, Wallace, was recognized as the strongest Water-type Trainer!
Who in the entire Hoenn region didn't know his 'Water's Dance'?
"Bring it on, Mammon! Let me see the strength of your Water-type Pokémon!"
Wallace was full of confidence and fighting spirit. If it were other types, he admitted he couldn't be Mammon's opponent.
But in a Water-type civil war, hmph hmph hmph~
He had some confidence in his professionalism, though he probably, possibly, perhaps... still couldn't defeat Mammon.
"Folks, today we're livestreaming Mammon's World Championship ranking challenge match! Those interested can watch, Mammon's battles are quite rare."
Next to Caitlin, Calyrex once again started its livestream.
"Will the streamer be on? I won't be battling today. Mammon said he's using a Water-type team. Do you folks really want to see me battle?"
"Then next time Mammon has a battle, I can ask Mammon."
Calyrex was very fond of its fans. Although it felt that battling these normal humans might be a bit unfair to them.
But there was nothing it could do. Since its fans wanted to see it, Calyrex didn't mind showing them its power.
"Where does this guy get the nerve to say that?"
Steven couldn't help but rub his forehead, looking at Wallace on the field. He couldn't understand Wallace's thought process. Mammon's Water-type team... could that be a legitimate Water-type team?
As far as Steven knew, Suicune, Tapu Fini, Kyogre, these were all Water-type Pokémon!
He hoped Mammon would go easy... Steven looked at Mammon, he was actually quite curious what Pokémon were in Mammon's Water-type team.
"So energetic, then..."
Mammon chuckled, seeing Wallace's spirited appearance.
"Walking Wake, prepare for battle."
Mammon coolly threw the Poké Ball in his hand backwards. The Poké Ball opened in mid-air.
A white light landed, and the ancient Paradox Pokémon from ancient times landed heavily in front of Mammon, its fierce and brutal dragon eyes sending shivers down one's spine.
"Walking Wake? A Paradox Pokémon?"
Seeing this Walking Wake, which had some characteristics of Suicune, Wallace was startled.
He thought back carefully. This was his first time seeing this Walking Wake in person, but if he remembered correctly.
Walking Wake should be an ancient Paradox Pokémon, a Water/Dragon-type Pokémon.
The inclusion of the Paradox Pokémon series in the Pokédex had caused quite a stir back then.
And Wallace was extremely fond of Water-types, so he paid more attention to the Water-type Paradox Pokémon.
"That's right, Master Wallace, Walking Wake is not easy to deal with, especially its resistance to Water-type attacks."
Mammon said with a smile.
Because Water/Dragon is quadruple resistant to Water.
"Hmph~ Mammon, you underestimate me too much. You know, Water and Ice are always inseparable."
Wallace snorted lightly. Even so, his handsome face was quite serious at this moment.
Because the oppressive aura of this Walking Wake was very strong!
"Walrein! I'm counting on you!"
After some thought, Wallace still sent out Walrein.
A white light landed, and a plump blue sea lion landed in front of Wallace, growling at Walking Wake.
Two long tusks extended down from its mouth, with two white rings around its neck, and two tufts of white fur on its face and neck.
Walrein, a Water/Ice-type.
Because Ice is super effective against Dragon, Ice-type moves still deal normal damage to Walking Wake.
At this moment, Wallace's biggest regret was that Walrein couldn't learn Freeze-Dry. Ice-type Freeze-Dry is a'special attack' move against Water-type Pokémon.
Freeze-Dry is super effective against Water, and Dragon is also weak to Ice, so Freeze-Dry actually deals quadruple super effective damage to Walking Wake.
But unfortunately, none of Wallace's Pokémon could learn Freeze-Dry.
Ultimately, Wallace was a Water-type expert, not an Ice-type expert.
"Please, Master Wallace, you can go first."
Mammon gestured to Wallace with a friendly hand.
Wallace had no intention of being polite. He was battling Mammon, so it wouldn't make sense not to let him go first, right?
"Walrein! Blizzard!"
Wallace decisively launched an attack.
Walrein let out a low growl, and a fierce snowstorm erupted from its mouth.
Strong winds mixed with ice and snow swept in, covering almost half of the field.
"Flamethrower."
Mammon grinned.
Walking Wake roared, and surging red flames erupted from its mouth, a blazing pillar of fire meeting the Blizzard head-on.
Fire-type Flamethrower!
Boom!
Fire and snow collided heavily in the center of the field, a classic clash of fire and ice.
However, after only a brief stalemate, Flamethrower suppressed Blizzard and continued to advance, finally striking Walrein heavily.
Walrein cried out in pain, its entire plump body being blasted back a considerable distance by Flamethrower.
"It even knows Flamethrower?"
Wallace's brows furrowed instantly, looking at Walking Wake whose flames were gradually extinguishing.
Seriously, you're a Water-type Pokémon, and you know a Fire-type move?
But thankfully, his Walrein had the Thick Fat ability, which reduced damage from Fire-type moves, and Walrein, being Water/Ice-type, wasn't inherently weak to Fire.
But... the force of this attack was very strong!
Wallace's expression was grave.
"Dragon Rush!"
The next moment, a deafening roar of a wicked dragon echoed, and Walking Wake moved its powerful hind legs, charging towards Walrein with terrifying momentum.
Dragon-type Dragon Rush!
"Protect!"
Dodging was impossible. Walrein was, after all, a sea lion Pokémon, and its body was bulky, making movement on land not very convenient.
Dodging was simply too difficult.
A green Protect barrier lit up in front of Walrein.
Rumble!
The next moment, the huge wicked dragon slammed heavily into the Protect barrier, and a massive shockwave swept out.
The surrounding spectators couldn't help but lower their heads and raise their hands to shield themselves, showing how powerful this blow was.
The surface of the Protect barrier rippled continuously, but Protect still blocked this Dragon Rush.
"How long can it hold?"
Mammon raised an eyebrow.
Walking Wake did not senselessly continue to exert force, but dispelled Dragon Rush, coldly staring at Walrein behind the green Protect barrier.
Waiting for an opportunity.
And the moment Protect dissipated.
"Dragon Pulse!"
"Ice Beam!"
A dragon-like light erupted from Walking Wake's mouth, while Walrein's Ice Beam was a little slower.
Boom!
With another loud bang, the Dragon Pulse, which was fired first, exploded heavily on Walrein, and intense energy surged out. Walrein groaned in pain, its entire body blasted away.
"The difference in Pokémon is evident," Steven said helplessly.
Walking Wake's Dragon Pulse's condensation and firing speed were demonstrated at this moment, being significantly faster than Walrein's.
Of course, this was also partly because Walking Wake was waiting for Protect to end.
But even without that factor, Walking Wake's attack would certainly have been faster than Walrein's; the gap in strength was already evident.
"Draco Meteor."
"Roar~"
Walking Wake opened its mouth and looked up, an energy sphere seemingly containing countless stars ascended into the sky, exploding in mid-air.
A large number of dragon meteors rained down, like a beautiful meteor shower.
However, these meteors were deadly.
Boom! Rumble!
The dragon meteors continuously crashed down, violently exploding on Walrein, who had just gotten back up.
When the Draco Meteor bombardment ended, Walrein was already lying on the ground with swirly eyes, having lost its ability to battle.
Wallace was expressionless.
"Walrein is unable to battle. Walking Wake wins."
The referee announced the battle result.
"So strong!"
"It feels like Wallace didn't get to do much! This Walking Wake is amazing!"
"It looks so cool! Does anyone know where Walking Wake can be caught?"
"I knew it, Wallace was definitely going to have a tough time today."
The audience discussed animatedly, after all, this battle ended... a bit quickly.
And some girls who originally supported Wallace were also dejected at this moment.
"Master Wallace, how was my Walking Wake?"
Mammon recalled Walking Wake, smiling brightly as he asked Wallace.
"Hehehe..."
Wallace's fair face was expressionless, his lips twitching stiffly twice.
You're clearly not Water-type at all!
Wallace roared internally. Damn it, from beginning to end, it only used Fire-type or Dragon-type moves. When did it ever use a Water-type move?
Doesn't count!
"It seems Master Wallace isn't convinced. In that case..."
Mammon naturally noticed Wallace's expression, chuckled, and then threw out his second Poké Ball backwards.
"Gyarados, prepare for battle."
"Roar~!"
A Gyarados with scales like brilliant red rubies roared and landed heavily in front of Mammon.
It was a Shinny Gyarados.
"A Shinny Gyarados? So beautiful! And... so big!"
May's eyes immediately lit up, constantly examining the Shinny Gyarados up and down with amazement.
Yes, the visual impact of a Shinny Gyarados is very significant, because those bright red scales are simply too beautiful.
Especially under the sunlight, it seemed to sparkle.
Moreover, Mammon's Shinny Gyarados was very large. The standard size for a normal Gyarados is about 6.5 meters.
But Mammon's Shinny Gyarados, by estimation, was probably at least 8 meters long. This size was very formidable.
"When did you catch a Shinny Gyarados?" Wallace was quite astonished.
"I caught it last year, but I haven't had much chance to use it. But this child is still very hardworking. This time, it's just right for you, Master Wallace, to test its strength."
Mammon gave Wallace a pure smile.
Wallace's fair face immediately darkened. What did he mean? What did he mean by that?
Using him to test the strength of his Shinny Gyarados?? Who was he looking down on?!
