"I haven't hidden my identity; I've already introduced myself," Bai Hong said, simply stating his name.
"I thought it was someone with the same name."
How could Hala not know who this year's strongest champion is? As the island king of the Alola region, he would definitely be paying attention to the World Championship. He just mistakenly thought it was a trainer with the same name.
With the strength of the strongest champion, participating in the island pilgrimage was obviously not difficult. Since the challenge rules had been explained, he could only bite the bullet and continue with the next steps.
The battle begins!
The Lizard King stood there.
They did not take preemptive action.
It seemed they were waiting for Bai Hong's command.
Seeing this, Hara had no choice but to order Iron Palm Warrior to use the surprise attack with a palm strike, a move that could only be successful if used immediately after entering the scene.
The high-five attack took priority over speed, and the Lizard King, unable to dodge the Iron Fist Warrior's attack, instinctively raised his arm in a defensive stance to lessen the damage he suffered.
"He caught that high-five attack?" Hala opened his right eye, his face once again showing shock.
If it were any other Pokémon, it would have been sent flying by a high-five attack. How could it possibly be standing properly in front of Iron Fist? The most incredible thing is that Sceptile did not flinch because of this.
The high-five ambush is a preemptive skill; if it hits, it will cause a target that has not yet taken action to become timid.
The problem is that the Lizard King made a move.
He subconsciously raised his arm.
Besides.
There is another reason.
That is because the Lizard King has a strong will.
Even if it takes the Iron Palm Warrior's surprise attack head-on, it won't easily fall into a state of fear, because it has already developed its ability to see through things to the extreme.
"Lizard King, Leaf Blade!"
Bai Hong did not respond to this.
Instead, they issued a counterattack order.
Before the Iron Palm Warrior could pull back, the Lizard King received the order and suddenly conjured a sharp energy blade in his elbow, slashing towards the Iron Palm Warrior's neck.
哐～
The Iron Palm Warrior was suddenly shocked.
He quickly backed away.
But his neck was still cut by the blade.
It hurts!
It touched its neck.
Fortunately, it didn't hit a vital spot.
"Abdominal drum!"
Facing the strongest champion.
Hala dared not release water anymore.
If we don't go all out now, we'll have nothing to play for.
Bang bang bang~
The Iron Palm Warrior slaps his belly.
At the cost of half of maximum HP.
Increases attack power by six levels.
"Now! Unleash your full power, unparalleled fierce punch!" Harry flashed the Fighting Z on his Z-Bracelet and started dancing awkwardly with Iron Fist Warrior.
The Lizard King sensed something was wrong. After exchanging a glance with Bai Hong, he quickly condensed an energy ball and swallowed it, unleashing an astonishing green energy aura from his entire body. At the same time, he was observing the Iron Palm Warrior's movements.
"Leaf Blade!"
Just two simple words.
Just shout it out.
Speaking of which, Bai Hong had previously faced competitors using Z-Moves during the World Championships and ranked matches, so this wasn't his first time encountering Z-Moves.
The Iron Palm Warrior unleashed a powerful and fierce punch, his attack incredibly fierce, the pressure of his fists like a storm.
The Lizard King unleashed an even larger energy blade than before, its pupils reflecting the Iron Fist Warrior's punching motion in advance, showing signs of having seen through it. After all, this was a Z-Move, not easy to predict.
focus.
You must be able to see through the movements.
The Lizard King prepared to retaliate.
He was now intently watching the Iron Palm Warrior, waiting for its fist to hit his face before unleashing a beautiful slashing arc, betting that this strike would interrupt the all-out, unparalleled, fierce punch.
Thanks to the energy from the Energy Ball, the Leaf Blade's destructive power has increased; otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to handle Z-Moves.
Bang bang bang~
Click~
An explosion followed.
Before the thick smoke had even dissipated, a thud could be heard. Hala swallowed nervously, a bad feeling creeping over him.
Oh~
That's the sound of the Lizard King.
The one who just fell was the Iron Palm Warrior.
"Wow, that's impressive. It can actually use a normal move to counter a Z-Move." Hala was quite impressed. After retrieving Iron Fist Warrior, he immediately sent out the oddly-looking, competitive Crab.
The competitive hairy crab resembles a Yeti crab, with thick claws and fleshy pads, and possesses both fighting and ice attributes.
Facing the Lizard King.
It clearly has an advantage in terms of attributes.
Unfortunately, it was still defeated in seconds.
"This is a Z-Ring, and a Fighting Z-Ring!" Hala laughed, pulling a black Z-Ring from his pocket. The area inlaid with Z-Crystals was decorated with white patterns, just like Ash's.
Chapter 160 Top-Tier Craftsmen
He was convinced of his defeat.
Bai Hong is too strong.
Participating in the island tour is like having fun.
"Thank you!"
Bai Hong accepted the Z bracelet.
And that precious Fighting Z.
Even though there are no Fighting-type Pokémon in the team, as long as you master one Fighting-type move, you can use a Fighting-type Z-Move.
"You can use it by embedding the Z-Crystal into the Z-Bracelet. If you have multiple Z-Crystals, you can switch between them!" Hala retracted the Competitive Hairy Crab, then walked over with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.
"Can we not do that awkward dancing?"
Bai Hong thought this was too childish.
I don't plan to do any awkward dancing.
"Without dancing, there's no passion, but of course, it depends on your perspective." Hara's advice is to dance whenever possible, as tradition should not be abandoned.
pat~
He took out Dragon Z.
It is embedded in the Z bracelet.
Oh~
The Lizard King responded.
This indicates that preparations are complete.
"Try it!"
Bai Hong did not engage in any awkward dancing.
Instead, he gave the order as usual.
It touched the Z-Bracelet to activate Dragon Z's energy and calmly shouted, "Ultimate Dragon Shakes the Heavens and Earth!"
In an instant, Dragon Z unleashed its energy, projecting it onto the Lizard King. The Lizard King was filled with power, and suddenly condensed a huge purple ball of light from its mouth, releasing it into the air.
Is this the Ultimate Dragon Shock? The way it's released is the same as Dragon Pulse, but its power is several times stronger. I didn't expect that the permanent Mega Evolution form could activate Z-Moves.
"Is this okay?"
Hala was deeply shocked.
Bai Hong did not actually dance awkwardly just now.
Only then did he realize that he could use Z-Moves without the awkward dance moves, which reduced the passion but did not affect the damage.
"That's it!"
Bai Hong was wearing the Z bracelet.
It was not taken off.
Instead, put away Fire Z and Fighting Z.
Later, at Hala's invitation, I went to his home as a guest, where we had tea and exchanged some battle experience.
Hala has a wealth of battle experience, but the Alola region's league has not yet been established. The first league tournament is expected to be held this year, and Ash will participate.
