Chapter 495: The Sea Has Only One King
Time passed day by day.
Battle after battle.
The round of 128 to 64 took 8 days, with an average of eight matches scheduled per day.
Eight days passed.
Will and Cynthia very easily entered the top 64.
And the contestant standing in front of them next.
Is named Wallace.
"Ah ah ah ah ah! It's Lord Wallace! Ah I'm dead!"
"The noble Lord Prince of Water!"
"Mi Mi Mi Mi~"
Yes.
It's Lorelei's husband from the previous life, the Champion of the Hoenn League, the Contest Master with high popularity, achievements, and status in the Coordinator field.
But that's all in the future.
The current Wallace isn't even the Gym Leader of the Sootopolis Gym.
The Gym Leader of the Sootopolis Gym is still his master Juan.
And Wallace is running all over the world in the capacity of a trainer and Coordinator, accumulating reputation while confirming the path he truly loves.
In this Star Trainer Tournament.
Wallace's fan count can definitely rank in the top five.
After all, he is the only Coordinator among the 128 contestants in the Star Trainer Tournament, the youthful face of the coordinating field.
Even Cynthia cannot match him in this regard.
Those who can surpass Wallace in fan count must be old seniors who have been immersed for a long time.
On the battlefield.
Cynthia looked strangely at Will walking past her.
It's rare to see Lucario take the initiative to be the first to go on stage; this is truly unprecedentedly rare, and it actually happened twice in a row recently.
The last time was Lorelei.
"Hmph hmph, I felt a bit soft-hearted beating Lorelei and the others, but beating you kid I won't hold back."
Will grinned looking at Wallace opposite him.
No hostility whatsoever.
Just purely wanting to train this kid.
After all.
Lorelei said.
Wallace treated her quite well.
It was she herself who made the wrong choice, failing to see what kind of life she truly wanted, which is why her later life wasn't so happy; this couldn't be blamed on Wallace.
Moreover.
In the dozens of times they met in the previous life.
Every time Wallace came to visit, he was very humble, and very caring towards Lorelei's parents and him.
Even later when Lorelei was pregnant and her father passed away.
Wallace simply resigned from his position as Champion, always staying by Lorelei's side to accompany her. Since then, he never held the position of Champion again, and even the frequency of the Wallace Cup was slowed down.
Various performances.
Are already enough to gain Will's recognition.
So this upcoming battle.
Will has no hostility, just purely plans to train him, a situation somewhat similar to taking care of Clair and Dragonite.
It's just the difference...
The pressure Wallace will feel will be more than 10 times greater than Clair's.
Admittedly.
Wallace's strength is very strong.
A standard quasi-Elite Four-level contestant; the level of the ace Milotic in his team is even as high as Lv. 70, the same level as Garchomp, but stepped into the Elite Four level one step earlier than Garchomp.
But so what?
Will has two magic weapons on him, which were useless against Clair and Dragonite, but for the Water-type trainer Wallace, they are truly too good to use.
The first piece.
The Sea Crown.
The second piece.
The Splash Plate.
Fight.
Let's see how Wallace fights.
In the previous life.
Will relied on these two magic weapons and the species of Empoleon, forcefully making Wallace not win even half a match against him for the entire rest of his life.
In this life.
Will will let the equally 16-year-old youth Wallace feel the pain that the Champion Wallace of the previous life once endured.
"Beautiful Miss Cynthia, I have paid attention to you and Lucario for a long time. Your figures during battle are truly mesmerizing, full of noble and elegant temperament."
Wallace came up and first did a twirl in place, bowing slightly to them,
"But, next, please properly appreciate our brilliantly shining phantom of water."
A confident smile appeared on his face.
Extremely confident.
Will, seeing his expression, couldn't help putting on a nostalgic smile.
A Water-type supremacist who would rather die than submit.
This is Will's summary of Wallace's trainer characteristics in the previous life.
In Wallace's heart.
Water-type Pokémon are the strongest, most beautiful, most elegant, and noblest Pokémon.
Even for a Whiscash.
Wallace can list a hundred merits.
Belongs to the concept that cannot be beaten crooked no matter how much you beat it.
And exactly because of this point.
The Wallace of the previous life didn't act infatuated less towards him, this male Empoleon.
And Lorelei had a somewhat similar mentality.
Husband and wife acting infatuated towards him together.
Truly fricking amazing.
"For the first match, you shall leap out a gorgeous dance, My Honey!"
?
Exaggerated dancing jumped out on Wallace.
A sea-blue Poké Ball was thrown out.
The next moment.
The Pokémon hailed as the most beautiful in the world appeared in place.
It is exactly Wallace's ace - Milotic.
The opponent has already brought out his ace, so taking out one's own ace is considered polite.
Moreover.
Milotic fighting Lucario has a small type advantage; there's nothing wrong with this choice.
"Mm, little snake."
Will grinned, looking at Milotic's smooth iridescent scales and nodding.
Taken care of very well.
The Milotic standing opposite Will felt uncomfortable all over being stared at, twisting her body uneasily.
That feeling was as if being stared at by an elder.
"Milotic, first a gorgeous Surf as a greeting gift~"
"Yuu~"
Milotic fiercely swung her long big tail.
A water wave over ten meters high rose from the ground, crashing towards all directions.
Will stood in place with his arms crossed, his ears twitching slightly catching the sounds overflowing from the spray, while his eyes stared at certain water droplets.
Saw it.
Borrowing the reflection of those splashing water droplets, he could see Milotic's every move currently surrounded by the big wave.
Surf is just a cover-up.
Wallace and Milotic didn't expect to cause him damage with this move.
The true purpose is to use the big wave to cover themselves, and take advantage of this gap to raise their head and chant to use Rain Dance, creating a battle environment more suitable for themselves.
If the one using this move right now was Lapras sister.
Then Will might have let the other party cast the spell, turning a blind eye.
But right now...
Whoosh!
Under Extreme Speed, shadow chases the wind.
The tall water wave was kicked by Will, collapsing more than half.
"Yuu?!"
Milotic looked at Will breaking through the water curtain, turning pale with fright.
Even Wallace couldn't react.
Because the huge wave obscured not only Will's line of sight, but also their own line of sight.
Bang!
Two Thunder Punches were struck at the speed of light, hitting Milotic's neck and knocking her huge body backward.
Unfortunately, no Paralysis.
"Aqua Tail!"
Wallace's reaction was still quite fast.
Quasi-Elite Four-level strength without the slightest bit of water (inaccuracy).
And Milotic's mobility is also terrifying; actually borrowing the momentum of her upper body sinking to swing her lower body to hit Will.
Will glanced at that colorful tail.
Raised his foot.
Stomped heavily.
Boom!
Before Milotic's tail even swung onto Will's body, it was stepped on the ground by his foot, water splashing everywhere. The force was so great that she simply couldn't move.
"Yuu!"
Milotic let out a sound.
This wasn't a cry of panic, but to let Wallace understand her strength was no match for Will's, and needed to change moves.
"Wrap!"
Wallace's voice followed closely.
Milotic immediately coiled towards Will like a snake.
Will pushed off with his feet, flying backward, a bit more praise in his eyes looking at Wallace:
"Mind is very flexible."
Remember hearing Steven say in the past.
Wallace's mind was very stubborn in his youth, but looking at it now, at least during battle it's not the case.
The greatest means to restrict Will is to bind his hands and feet.
Once he is bound by Milotic's body.
Then his hands and feet wouldn't be able to exert force.
Even if his strength is usually greater than Milotic's, he wouldn't be able to break free in this kind of situation.
And over ninety percent of his moves require relying on his hands and feet to use.
With hands and feet bound.
Then Will could only use some clumsy moves released with his mouth.
So to speak.
Wallace not only reacts fast, but also has a flexible mind, making the most correct choice in an instant.
"Water Pulse!"
Saw the water sphere spewed out by Milotic suddenly burst.
At the same instant.
Water Pulse.
The water sphere surging from Will's mouth also burst into violent rings.
Two blue shockwaves composed of water pressure and energy spread towards the opposite side at an astonishing speed.
A simple beam struggle, ultimate enjoyment.
The high-speed rotating pulses cut and rubbed against each other, letting out high-frequency piercing hums.
Milotic's Water Pulse collapsed one step earlier, turning into sky-filling scattered cold water drops.
While Will's Water Pulse was still sweeping flying.
"How is it possible?! Bounce up, use Hydro Pump!"
Wallace widened his eyes, finding it hard to understand.
While issuing the command, his head was full of question marks.
Why would his Milotic lose to a Lucario in the power and proficiency of Water-type moves?!
Could it be...
They are truly very weak?
"Yuu!"
Milotic didn't have time to think so much like Wallace.
She borrowed body compression to catapult into mid-air, dodging the Water Pulse while a surging giant pillar of water shot from the sky towards the ground.
The huge recoil even made Milotic's heavy body fly backward.
Will narrowed his eyes looking up, grinning.
Opened mouth.
Hydro Pump.
A dark blue water pillar with a diameter comparable to a giant tree trunk erupted from his mouth. The water flow tore through the air, letting out a deafening, continuous roar; just the sound waves alone made people's eardrums sting.
BOOM!
The world-destroying water pillars collided fiercely in the sky without any fancy tricks.
However, the stalemate couldn't even be maintained for a second.
Will's Hydro Pump continuously melted and swallowed Milotic's Hydro Pump, and two seconds later completely eroded the powerless subsequent Hydro Pump with crushing force.
Swish!
Will's Hydro Pump straightforwardly hit Milotic, who couldn't dodge in mid-air.
Not to mention Wallace and Milotic at this moment.
In the entire tournament venue, all spectators and contestants.
There was not a single person who could understand the current situation.
Not understanding is also normal.
Just like the vast majority of people don't know.
The sea has only one king.
It's not the "God of Ocean Currents and Monsoons" Lugia.
It's not the "God of Oceans and Heavy Rain" Kyogre.
It's the crown-crowned "God of the Sea" Empoleon!
Will lifted his eyelids.
Looking at that figure falling downward in the sky, fiercely rushed out.
This time the figure was a bit slower, at least human naked eyes could capture the shadow.
Because.
Will was advancing while using Swords Dance and Hone Claws.
Bang!
At a certain point, the soles of his feet forcefully stomped the ground, actively leaping towards the falling Milotic.
Golden light emerged on the surface of his fist.
Thunder Punch ×.
