—------------------—
Starmie felt something was wrong, because the Tapu Fini on the other side had a rather terrifying look in its eyes.
But the problem was, it hadn't offended Tapu Fini, right? There were no past grudges either.
But no matter what, for his Trainer, Wallace!
"Excellent! Starmie, that's the spirit!"
Wallace looked at the high-spirited Starmie, feeling very moved and excited.
If his Pokémon had such backbone, how could he, as a Trainer, be timid?
It's just an Island Guardian Deity from Alola, isn't it? No fear!
"Qiqi~"
Tapu Fini spread its arms, and a pink aura began to rapidly spread from its center.
Ability: Misty Maker!
Misty Terrain unfurled, and the entire battlefield was now filled with a faint layer of pink energy.
"Misty Terrain is useless against Starmie."
Wallace, however, was not flustered in the slightest. As a terrain-type move, Misty Terrain, unlike Electric Terrain or Psychic Terrain, does not boost the power of Fairy-type moves.
The effect of Misty Terrain is to prevent all 'grounded Pokémon' from falling into status conditions or confusion.
It also reduces the damage of Dragon-type moves by fifty percent.
It could be said that this Misty Terrain was functional, without directly boosting move power.
This also meant that Tapu Fini activating Misty Terrain against Starmie was useless except for looking good.
"Starmie, Thunder!"
Wallace dramatically flung his cape, ordering Starmie.
Thunderous light crackled around Starmie, and a massive bolt of lightning struck down towards Tapu Fini with a boom.
Electric-type Thunder!
Electric beats Water, and in Water-type internal battles, Electric-type moves are very effective.
"Moonblast."
Mammon chuckled softly.
Tapu Fini let out a soft cry, and the bright, hazy moonlight continuously poured down, forming an orb of Moonblast energy.
As Tapu Fini pushed, the Moonblast shot out at high speed, meeting the incoming Thunder.
Boom!
Moonblast and Thunder clashed heavily in mid-air, the two attacks violently impacting each other.
But in a short while, Thunder was overwhelmed and shattered by Moonblast, and the Moonblast continued to surge towards Starmie with undiminished momentum.
"Starmie!"
Wallace wasn't too surprised by this scene and immediately shouted at Starmie.
Blue light glowed around Starmie's body, and it quickly floated up.
Although it was a Starmie, and moving on land was inconvenient, its Psychic abilities were not weak, making it very convenient when controlled by Psychic power.
"Dazzling Gleam."
Mammon was very calm.
Tapu Fini looked at the floating Starmie, raised a small hand, and a strong light shone.
Fairy-type Dazzling Gleam!
The strong light shot out. Unlike Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam's strong light had a very large range.
Starmie had tried its best to control itself to retreat, but it was still a step too late.
Dazzling Gleam hit Starmie directly, and Starmie was knocked down, falling to the ground.
But fortunately, Tapu Fini did not go all out, and Dazzling Gleam also did not have a type advantage against Starmie.
Even so, this blow was not light.
"Nature's Wrath."
Tapu Fini let out a low cry, and the ground beneath it began to tremble violently. Blue rings of light flashed, and a powerful pink shockwave surged forward.
The Island Guardian Deities' exclusive move, Nature's Wrath!
Rumble!
The shockwave of Nature's Wrath slammed into Starmie, the deafening roar resonating, and a massive wave of air swept out.
A very powerful Nature's Wrath attack.
"..."
Wallace covered his face with his hand, but his eyes darkened.
With such an attack, Starmie... probably couldn't hold on!
When the smoke and dust dissipated, sure enough, Starmie was lying motionless on the ground.
"Starmie is unable to battle, Tapu Fini wins."
The referee was completely used to it by now, entering to announce the battle result and then walking back out.
As for the onlookers, especially the girls who originally supported Wallace, they were now expressionless.
The impact of this battle on them was simply too great.
Although Wallace had been a stepping stone for 'monsters' from various regions for the past six months, he could at least put up a bit of a fight, even taking down a few main Pokémon.
But against Mammon, how did it turn out like this?
Either a one-shot knockout, or defeated in one or two moves—the difference in strength was simply too vast.
"I can tell, compared to last year, Master Wallace, you've made a slight improvement."
Mammon recalled the aloof Tapu Fini, took out a Cherish Ball, and played with it in his hand, smiling slowly at Wallace.
Though not by much, of course.
Wallace had a depressed expression and completely ignored Mammon.
"Don't be so cold, Master Wallace. Although your current situation isn't great, there's nothing strange about it."
"After all, to have a good battle with you, I specifically prepared for a long time."
Mammon said with a smile, still giving Wallace a bit of face.
"Hmph~ So I should thank you then?" Wallace was amused and angered.
"No need for that, but it's a pity this battle is about to end."
Mammon sighed. If he could, he really wanted to continue seeing Wallace's expression of being furious but having to hold it in.
"No need to say more, what is your last Pokémon?"
Wallace didn't want to listen to Mammon's meaningless nonsense and urged him decisively.
"It's the Pokémon you've been longing for, Master Wallace." Mammon's Cherish Ball enlarged, and a smile reappeared on his face.
"?"
Wallace was stunned. Bro, are you serious?
"Go~"
Mammon tossed the Poké Ball in his hand backwards.
"Kyogre, I choose you."
"Wooo~!"
A primordial roar echoed through the sky, and a massive blue figure soared through the air.
A majestic and heavy pressure permeated the area, making everyone gasp for breath.
Kyogre, one of the legendary ancient Pokémon!
Everyone present, as well as the audience in Calyrex's live stream, instantly became excited.
"Wow~! Is it really Kyogre?"
May's eyes instantly lit up.
"Mammon really is..."
Steven put a hand to his forehead. Although he had suspected it, he was still shocked to actually see Kyogre.
No, you're using Kyogre against Wallace, Mammon, you truly have no heart!
This move was simply too ruthless.
"Kyogre..."
Wallace looked up at the legendary deep sea king, his exquisite face now showing an extremely strange expression.
There was surprise, shock, and confusion.
"How about it, Master Wallace, surprised?" Mammon recalled Kyogre's Poké Ball, smiling at Wallace.
"It's precisely because I understand your love for Kyogre that I specifically arranged for Kyogre to be the finale, to fulfill your wish."
Mammon always thought of himself as a very considerate and caring good person.
As a Water-type specialist, Wallace's ability to battle Kyogre in the arena as an opponent must be his greatest honor.
"Hehehe..."
Wallace listened, smiling insincerely. "I really f*cking thank you, huh?"
"Mammon, you really are..."
"No need to thank me."
Mammon smiled, interrupting Wallace.
Wallace felt like spitting out a mouthful of old blood, unsure whether he should. He didn't know what to say anymore.
Indeed, Mammon was a naturally evil fellow!
"Come on, Master Wallace, show me, show Kyogre everything you have."
Mammon extended his hand to Wallace, signaling him to go all out.
Wallace took a deep breath, looking at the incredibly oppressive Kyogre floating in the air.
Facing the legendary Kyogre in an arena? He wouldn't even dream of doing that, okay?
But it had to be said, at this moment, Wallace's heart was racing.
Unlike Suicune or Tapu Fini, this was Kyogre!
The legendary origin of the sea, the deep sea king, the ocean overlord Kyogre.
To battle such a Pokémon was simply... incredibly exciting.
Kyogre's golden eyes were indifferent, and it was unclear what it was thinking.
"Milotic!"
Wallace was already getting excited, throwing his last Poké Ball with force.
The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, and a white light landed.
"Wooo...?"
Milotic slowly raised its head, its melodious cry quickly dropping, its eyes wide as it stared in shock at the Kyogre opposite.
This beautiful sea serpent was stunned!
Finally coming to its senses and noticing Kyogre's indifferent gaze, Milotic swallowed, turning its head incredulously to look at Wallace.
Bro, you want me to fight Kyogre???
Did you lose your mind, or am I not fully awake?
"Milotic, today is the day we make our name known throughout the world!"
But Wallace was incredibly excited at this moment. Being able to compete against Kyogre in an arena was every Water-type Trainer's lifelong dream!
Wallace felt that his life was complete.
Even if they lost, it didn't matter. The most important thing was that they had battled Kyogre in the arena!
"Let's give it our all and let Kyogre truly witness our power."
Master Wallace was very motivated.
Milotic was numb.
