Seeing that Zhenyifa's provocation was about to hit, Gadria's expression remained completely calm.
Because Alakazam's enhanced trickery was just a feint.
The dark purple energy fluctuations around Alakazam abruptly stopped the moment the provocation was launched, and then actively receded.
The dark purple energy particles were forcibly dispersed by Alakazam before they had even completed a third of their condensation process.
Forcibly withdrawing a move that has reached one-third of its potential would cause an instantaneous energy shock to any Pokémon, but Alakazam was clearly prepared for this.
As it dispelled the energy of the trickery, it readjusted itself, and at its fingertips, a pure, almost transparent superpower fluctuation instantly condensed into shape.
Before the provocation could even be fully launched, it stopped its trickery and instead unleashed a burst of mental energy.
The telekinetic beam accurately struck the vibrating wing, piercing directly into the pinkish-purple energy membrane on its body surface.
The second layer of Zhenyifa's facade was broken once again.
This means that although the meditation enhancement is still there, without the protection of the painted skin, the life force that is as weak as a candle in the wind could easily be lost if it is touched by any move.
Hudi remained in a ready stance, a pale purple ball of spiritual energy already gathering at his fingertips.
It was waiting for the winged machine to dodge or counter, and once the winged machine made any mistake, the ball of light would hit it precisely in the first instant.
This is both oppression and a test.
Those who are pushed to the edge of a cliff will always reveal their true tactical intentions.
But at the same time, Xia Chi's lips curled up slightly.
It's true that Alakazam broke the mask, but weren't Alakazam's transformation moves also blocked?
"Let's share the pain right now!"
Xia Chi's voice exploded when the audience was still immersed in the worry that Zhenyi Fa's painted skin had been shattered.
The wings of the flapping hair suddenly spread out in front of him.
Two pale blue energy chains extended simultaneously from the tips of its wings, their forms more solid than before.
Immediately, it drew two parallel arcs in the air, so fast that it gave Alakazam almost no time to react.
Because Alakazam's transformation moves have been blocked.
Instant teleportation is a transformation technique and cannot be used!
One light chain was connected to the chest of the vibrating wing, and another precisely engaged in the center of Alakazam's chest.
A blue light bridge spanning half the arena was erected between the two elves, its surface flowing with countless fine light patterns like blood vessels.
Sharing the pain is destiny!
All eyes were on Zhenyifa.
The life energy drawn from the Alakazam transformed into countless fine blue light particles, flowing backward along the light bridge into Zhenyifa's body. Each light particle restored a bit of radiance to Zhenyifa's body.
The life energy around it began to recover at a visible speed the moment the light connection was established, and its originally dim, crimson eyes became bright again.
The two spirits' stamina was directly balanced by the forced balancing mechanism of sharing the pain.
Zhenyi has been completely removed from the ICU.
The live chat exploded instantly.
[Hahaha, with all the deception and confusion, Cattleya is completely bewildered!]
[The first split-pull tricked the teleporter, Alakazam used a trick to bait out Taunt, and then Fa Jie used a true split-pull to turn the tide! You never know which floor your opponent is on!]
This was a masterclass in strategy!
Xia Chi slightly curled the corners of her lips.
This move is a gamble on Cattleya's assessment of the threat posed by Zhenyifa.
In her eyes, the best tactic for a low-health Winged Warrior is to stall for time, so she didn't expect Xia Chi to choose to launch such a direct counterattack at this seemingly most unlikely time.
The high-risk operation of sharing the pain was transformed into a sure-fire harvest by the two feints laid in the first two attempts.
He used a trick to deceive the opponent into teleporting, and a provocation to block their schemes, dismantling all of Alakazam's countermeasures one by one before revealing his true fangs.
Of course, Cattleya's most fatal mistake was that previous trait swap.
They wasted a golden opportunity to launch an attack or strengthen their position.
This is probably what is meant by being too clever for one's own good; debts must always be repaid.
Seeing that the time was right, Xia Chi raised his right hand.
On his left wrist, the Z-bracelet, which the Ether Foundation had rushed to make and deliver overnight, was quietly resting on his wrist bone.
The bracelet's texture is completely different from the silver-white Z bracelet that Cattleya has.
Its base is a deep, obsidian-like black color, with a ring of dark purple fine lines inlaid on the surface, which are the energy channels of the ghost attribute Z-pure crystal.
At this moment, the dark purple patterns began to glow.
Light seeped from every line of the bracelet, casting elusive, flickering shadows in the air like tendrils.
At the same time, Zhenyi's crimson eyes suddenly opened completely.
A purplish-black beam of light rose from beneath Zhenyi's feet.
It's as if it wants to absorb all the surrounding light into the column, along with swallowing the spotlights projected from the audience seats.
Inside the pillar of light, countless dark threads, like whispers of ghosts, seemed to flow and meander within it.
Ghost Z.
Zhenyifa's wings suddenly unfolded in the pillar of light, and its body, illuminated by the purplish-black light, became like a phantom emerging from the abyss.
Alakazam crossed its hands in front of it, and a semi-transparent pale blue light film condensed and took shape around its body.
Hold on!
This is the safest possible response that Gadalia could come up with in the face of Z-Moves.
The Hold is the most solid barrier among all defensive moves, and theoretically it can completely withstand any attack.
But theory is just theory.
Wingstriker has a special attack boost from Meditation, and the Ghost type is super effective against the Psychic type Alakazam.
With these two factors combined, the energy density of this Ghost Z has far exceeded the limit that a normal Guardian can withstand.
The Ghost Z that shot out from the Winged Beast transformed into a purplish-black light blade that almost split the entire field in two, carrying countless sharp shadow shrieks as it slashed fiercely at Alakazam.
The protective light membrane began to tremble violently the moment it came into contact with the Ghost Z Blade.
The cracks spread wildly outwards from the apex of the barrier, cracking faster than the blink of an eye.
In an instant, the entire light membrane shattered like a piece of tempered glass struck by a heavy hammer, and countless pale blue energy fragments flew in all directions.
The purplish-black Ghost Z-Blade continued forward without stopping amidst the shards of the Guardian, slashing fiercely at Alakazam.
Alakazam's pale purple eyes remained calm until the very last moment before Ghost Z hit.
It knew it couldn't dodge this attack, and it and Gadria had already anticipated the outcome of being pierced through the wall the moment Ghost Z made its move.
But calculating it is one thing, being able to stop it is another.
The purplish-black light blade engulfed Alakazam's entire body.
The shockwave, carrying the aftershocks of ghostly energy, swept outwards from Alakazam in all directions. The energy barrier at the edge of the field, which had been struggling to hold on since the first two matches, finally gave way under the tearing force of this power, collapsing like a shattered stained glass dome.
The aftershocks of the light blade slowly dissipated.
Alakazam's body plummeted from mid-air, crashing onto the ravaged rocky ground.
The air in the entire venue was silent for a full two seconds.
Hala's raised hand paused for a moment in mid-air before his bronze arm suddenly fell.
"Alakazam is incapacitated! Winged Wing wins!"
Meanwhile, the score under the dome of the Royal Dome Stadium had been changed dramatically to 3-1!
"It's over!"
Inside the live stream, Qi Shu let out a long sigh of relief and lay back on the gaming chair as if all his bones had been removed.
"Although Gadria still has three Pokémon, there is almost no hope of turning the tide. After Winged Wing recovers from the pain, her back row is no match for her. Don't forget, Mizuya has only used one Tyranitar and one Winged Wing so far, and Meowth is still sleeping soundly in its ball."
[Wait, isn't this champagne a bit too early? It's only 3-1, not 5-1. Do you think Gadlia is just some random trainer? You're completely disregarding the prestige of the Unova Champion title, Treant!]
[Fun fact: In matches where Fa Jie (Cao Zhifeng) plays, she needs to break at least three of her opponent's shoes. Gadalia (Cao Zhifeng) only has three shoes left, just enough for Fa Jie to achieve her KPI.]
[There's definitely no way to turn this around. Mega Evolution is gone, Ultra Crystal is gone, Z-Moves are gone, they've used up all three of their trump cards, how can they possibly turn this around?]
[Don't even mention the loss of these three items; even if they were there, things would be tough. Have you forgotten about Xia Chi's roster depth?]
[It's over! Next round, next round!]
To be honest, the Z-Move is a bit too strong. Even with Alakazam at half health using Protect, it can still one-shot you... The power is ridiculous.
My assessment is that Dynamax is inferior. Dynamax moves have three additional effects, allowing you to set weather and terrain conditions, and also increase your size and double your health. Z-Moves, in comparison, have too limited an effect.
Indeed, the strategic significance of Crystallization is greater than that... Crystallization can change attributes and unleash flexible coverage moves like Crystallization Burst, while the Z-Move is purely a one-time ultimate move. If used well, it's like a god descending to earth; if used poorly, it just wastes an item slot.
Not just Qishu and most of the viewers in the live stream.
Anyone familiar with Pokémon battles, as well as the skill levels and tactical styles of the two players present, knows that this match is already a foregone conclusion.
Among Gadalia's top Pokémon, Metagross defeated Tyranitar with Mega Evolution, but failed to survive to the end.
Alakazam unleashed a terrifying attack with its Psychic Z-Move, comparable to a legendary Pokémon, only to be countered by a Ghost Z-Move from Wingfire.
They broke through the defense and launched a counterattack.
Having revealed all three trump cards of the battle system, Gadria still had Elredo, Momonosuke, and the artificial cell egg in her hands, all of which were also powerful warriors she had carefully cultivated.
However, facing a Zhenyi Fa in excellent condition, and several legendary combatants behind it that were almost still in good condition, the hope of turning the tide was indeed extremely slim.
She is certainly an extremely powerful trainer.
But the person she met today was Xia Chi.
That's exactly what happened.
When Gadria retrieved Alakazam, who had lost her ability to fight, her movements remained quiet and composed.
With slender fingers pressing the recall button on the Poké Ball, the red light precisely enveloped Alakazam, which was lying among the rubble, and recalled it back into the ball.
Gadria glanced down at the Poké Ball, her misty purple eyes remaining calm and serene, showing no sign of disappointment or frustration. She simply placed the ball back gently at her waist.
The third combat system has also been used, and we have no more trump cards left.
Of course, unless she actually goes on stage herself.
However, if such blatant violations were to occur, Hala, standing on the sidelines, would not stand idly by.
Although the old man might scratch his head and hesitate for a long time when making rulings in certain gray areas, when the trainer himself appears in a place where he shouldn't be, the pink furry body wearing a bear costume in his hand is more effective than any referee's manual.
That being said, Gadriya did not give up and accept her fate.
She is never the kind of trainer who would give up before the competition is over.
Even knowing that the chances of turning the tables are slim, even knowing that the opponent's hidden cards are stronger than all the cards left in your hand combined.
She still chose to play each remaining round seriously.
It wasn't out of competitiveness, but rather a simpler yet more persistent commitment.
Now that she's standing here, and since there are three spirits willing to fight for her, she must finish this match.
This is respect for the opponent, and also respect for one's partners.
The last three Pokémon she sent out were all her signature Pokémon.
Gallade, Misty Eclipse, Artificial Cell Egg...
The three Pokémon took turns in the battle, bringing an incredibly exciting tag-team show to all the viewers.
As for why it's called a war of attrition—
Because all three of them fell to the Shadow Ball of Wingfire.
When Gadalia's last Pokémon, Dream Eater, fell, the final score on the big screen was 6:1.
This also means that Xia Chi has won the entire match and advanced to the main draw of the Masters 10 tournament!
The entire Royal Dome Arena erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
We cheer not only for Xia Chi's victory, but also for the exciting match itself.
To be fair, even if the opponent was Cattleya, the general consensus before the match was that the whole game would be a one-sided crushing defeat.
Who is Xia Chi?
He is the trainer who defeated Necrozma in a head-on battle just over ten days ago, the White Hero recognized by Reshiram, the Master of Milton, and the man who climbed from an unknown rookie to the top of the world in just over a year.
While Cattleya is undoubtedly one of the world's top Psychic-type trainers, she is ultimately still within the normal range.
At least that's the case at the trainer level...
In the first three matches, they were able to fight back and forth, and even once forced Xia Chi into a disadvantageous position. They used Trick Space to seal off Vibrating Wing, Tai Crystal Fighting crippled Tyranitar, and Psychic Z almost instantly killed Fa Jie.
The series of wonderful events has actually exceeded many people's expectations.
Cattleya's loss wasn't too bad.
