"Oh my god! Kyogre!"
"Good, good, good, Boss's move is really too ruthless."
"Is this the legendary Kyogre? Ah ah ah ah! I really want to see it live!"
"Mammon's Water-type team is invincible! Invincible!"
"As expected of Champion Giovanni's son. Champion Giovanni has Groudon, and Mammon has Kyogre. That's amazing."
In Calyrex's live stream, the audience was now incredibly excited.
Compared to Suicune and Tapu Fini, Kyogre's fame was, after all, much greater.
A legendary Pokémon, a Pokémon of myth and legend.
Although it was only a difference of two words, it was already a completely different concept.
"Who is stronger, me or Kyogre? That's hard to say."
Seeing someone in the bullet comments ask who was stronger between him and Kyogre, Calyrex was very humble.
"After all, I have never fought Kyogre, so naturally, a winner cannot be decided."
In reality, Calyrex believed that he, while riding a horse, was stronger than Primal Kyogre, but there was no need to argue about such a thing.
Moreover, whether it was him or Kyogre, they were both Mammon's Pokémon, and they were all partners, so there was no need to hurt their camaraderie for a little bit of fame.
"Can that Milotic defeat Mammon's Kyogre?"
Seeing this bullet comment, even Calyrex's eyes showed a strange look.
This… on the field.
"Milotic, Dragon Pulse!"
Wallace's fair face was now full of vigor as he commanded his ace, Milotic.
He believed in his Milotic!
Milotic, hearing Wallace's words, could only brace herself, opening her mouth as pure dragon light condensed.
A Dragon-type Dragon Pulse!
The dragon-shaped wave of energy shot out quickly, directly hitting Kyogre in mid-air.
With a bang, the power of this Dragon Pulse was not bad, but… as the smoke and dust spread, Kyogre's eyes remained indifferent, and its noble body, shimmering with a faint blue light, looked… completely unharmed.
"No effect at all??"
Wallace was shocked, looking at Kyogre in disbelief.
This was his Milotic's Dragon Pulse. Although it wasn't a Same-Type Attack Bonus move, it was still Dragon Pulse, and Kyogre didn't have resistance to it.
Besides, Kyogre wasn't in its Primal Reversion form right now, was it?
"Kyogre's special defense is beyond imagination."
Mammon kindly reminded Wallace.
That's right, what Kyogre was most proud of, besides its powerful special attack, was its despair-inducing special defense.
If compared by base stats in the game, Kyogre's special defense was as high as 140 points!
140 points!
It's no exaggeration to say that among all Pokémon, the Pokémon whose special attack was higher than Kyogre's exaggerated special defense could be counted on two hands.
And Milotic was definitely not among them.
How much was Milotic's special attack?
Milotic's special attack was only 100 points, a full 40 points less than Kyogre's special defense, not to mention Primal Kyogre.
"If you want to deal effective damage to Kyogre…" Mammon stroked his chin, observing the Milotic opposite him.
"Why don't you try a physical attack?"
Mammon's kind reminder instantly darkened Wallace's fair face.
What the hell is 'why don't you try a physical attack'?
Wallace was so angry he laughed. Indeed, theoretically, Milotic could learn some physical attacks.
After all, Milotic could even learn Dragon Dance and its Same-Type Attack Bonus move, Water Tail.
But the problem was, Milotic's physical attack was really… terrible!
"Milotic, Confuse Ray!"
Wallace decisively gave the order.
Since normal attacks wouldn't work, he would use other methods.
A Ghost-type Confuse Ray!
Milotic opened its mouth again, and eerie light points drifted towards Kyogre.
Confuse Ray, as long as it hit, the opponent would inevitably become confused.
"Thunder."
Mammon shrugged.
Lightning flashed on Kyogre's body. The next moment, a huge bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking Milotic.
The dark Confuse Ray was directly shattered by the Thunder.
Boom!
The Thunder came too fast, directly hitting Milotic.
Milotic let out a scream, the lightning madly crackling and eroding its body, causing it immense pain.
With a violent roar, the Thunder exploded.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the charred Milotic had already fainted.
Hiss~
There was a collective gasp of cold air at the scene.
Milotic was Wallace's ace. Even Milotic was knocked out in one Thunder?
Although Thunder was a very powerful Electric-type move and was super effective against Milotic, it was still incredibly exaggerated.
Wallace: "…"
"Milotic is unable to battle, Kyogre wins."
The referee entered, observed Milotic, and announced the battle result.
"Since all six of Wallace's Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner of this ranking match is Mammon."
As the referee's words fell, a round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted.
Regardless, Mammon's victory was simply too brilliant, or rather, it was an overwhelming triumph.
The former Hoenn Champion, Wallace, was almost powerless against Mammon.
"As expected of Mammon, he's too strong!"
May's big eyes sparkled as she clapped her hands in admiration.
"Hmm, Mammon's strength is even more terrifying than last year."
Steven agreed wholeheartedly, filled with emotion.
Leaving aside the three legendaries, Kyogre, Tapu Fini, and Suicune, just Shiny Gyarados, Iron Bundle, and Walking Wake were astonishingly strong.
But it was known that Mammon hadn't caught these three Pokémon for very long, had he?
"So easy."
Mammon glanced at his ranking in the World Championship, which had risen to No. 37.
Hmm, he took Wallace's ranking, and Wallace moved back one spot.
Wallace didn't feel bad about his ranking; he was more concerned about his beloved Milotic.
Because of Kyogre's Thunder, Milotic's originally beautiful and smooth body now had many charred marks.
Wallace quickly took out a Potion and sprayed it on Milotic.
Damn Mammon! How could he treat my Milotic like this!
"Mr. Wallace, how is it?"
Mammon walked up to Wallace, and behind and above him, Kyogre still floated, looking boredly into the distance.
"My Water-type team, not bad, right?"
Mammon asked Wallace with a smile.
"Hmph~!"
Wallace stood up and snorted, not wanting to answer Mammon. He felt that Mammon's Water-type team… was simply too 'flashy'!
Wallace absolutely refused to admit that he was jealous.
Compared to his own team, Mammon's team was simply too outrageous.
"Why aren't you talking? I was thinking, after the battle with you, Mr. Wallace, I'd let Kyogre take a photo with you as a souvenir."
"Really?"
Wallace instantly 'came alive', looking at Mammon in surprise.
Take a photo with Kyogre??!
"Of course, but it seems, Mr. Wallace, you don't seem to like it…"
"Ahem, Mammon, actually, I think the lineup of your Water-type team can already become the strongest in the world!"
Wallace coughed twice, then said to Mammon in a serious tone.
"I think, Mammon, you are now the strongest Water-type Trainer in the world!"
Wallace felt that he wasn't speaking against his conscience. After all, with Mammon's Water-type lineup, were there any other Water-type Trainers who could be his opponent?
Every single one of them, how could they fight Kyogre?
After all, Kyogre could originally be said to be the No. 1 Water-type Pokémon, and now Kyogre had been caught by Mammon.
Steven and May, who had walked over, both had rather strange expressions upon hearing this.
"Oh? Is that what you think, Mr. Wallace?"
Mammon raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.
"Of course! Mammon, you are simply the savior of us Water-type Trainers! With your strength, you are enough to vindicate us Water-type Trainers!"
Wallace said with a serious expression.
Hmm, because he, Wallace, had repeatedly lost this year, the reputation of Water-type Trainers wasn't very good.
Who made him, Wallace, the only Water-type Champion?
But it didn't matter, now Mammon was here! The savior of Water-type Trainers had arrived!
"You're too kind, you're too kind." Mammon waved his hand humbly.
But he still felt very comfortable. Mr. Wallace was still an honest person, only speaking the plain truth.
"Congratulations, Mammon, your ranking has risen again. Wallace, he is…"
Steven walked over to congratulate Mammon, then looked strangely at Wallace, who was excitedly taking selfies in front of Kyogre.
He thought, why did Wallace suddenly change his attitude in front of Mammon? It turns out it was because he could take a photo with Kyogre… No wonder, then it's not strange at all.
For Wallace, who loved Water-type Pokémon, being able to take a photo with Kyogre was indeed a great blessing.
This photo could even be considered a family heirloom for him.
"Mr. Wallace will probably be taking pictures for a while, but as long as he's happy."
Mammon chuckled, not recalling Kyogre.
"I heard your child, Mammon, is about to be born? When are you planning to have the wedding?"
Steven asked curiously. Unlike Wallace, his impression of Mammon was now very good.
After all, Team Rockets had already been whitewashed, hadn't it? This was the general trend.
"It should be at the end of the year. When the time comes, Mr. Steven, you must come to my wedding."
"Definitely."
Steven replied with a smile, not even mentioning that he definitely had to give Mammon face. As far as he knew, Cynthia was among Mammon's wives.
His relationship with Wallace and Cynthia was quite good, not to mention Mammon's father was Giovanni.
"Alright, then I'll be waiting for your big red envelope, Steven." Mammon joked.
"May, I heard your ranking is almost in the top ten now, right?"
Mammon looked at May.
"Uh huh~ That's right, but the ones ahead of me are all so hard to beat, I don't know who to challenge first."
May poked her little face, looking troubled.
Her current ranking was No. 13, very close to the top ten, but precisely because of this, she felt a lot of pressure.
Especially since she had also received some rumors.
