Chapter 277 Luo Mu VS Adeke (7k)

"Next, please applaud and welcome the five teachers and students from Orange Academy who have come all the way from half a planet. In this academy that advocates fighting, what kind of wonderful fighting feast can they bring to us?"

As Bai Leya's voice, which fully mobilized the emotions of the audience, rang out, Luo Mu led the four people to the stage, which was the center of the battlefield.

There, Champion Adek, Principal Xi Lan, and four members of the Blueberry Alliance were already waiting.

There was neat applause in his ears, but Luo Mu knew very well that it was just polite applause. It was like a team playing away from home, with the audience consisting of the opposing team and their emotions being mobilized for the other team, which would bring unprecedented pressure to Nemo and the others.

Fortunately, the quality of these students is pretty good, at least they didn't boo or mess with people's mentality.

Besides, Luo Mu, who had already prepared for the worst case scenario, had already let Nemo and the other three go to the Freezer Town Gym alone to experience the battle.

The performance of popular rapper and club owner Lime was enough to shake the audience's soul, and the pressure brought by mobilizing the emotions of the residents of Freezer Town was also great.

Finally, in the process of this exchange match, the exhibition match will be the first to be carried out. It doesn’t matter whether the Blueberry Academy wants to maximize the home advantage or use the match against Adek to boost the fighting spirit of the four members of the Blueberry Alliance.

Now that I am on stage as a teacher, all I have to do is help Nimo and the others create a battlefield where they can have no worries, not be affected by external factors, and just give full play to their strengths!

Arriving at the center of the venue, Luo Mu ignored the conversations between the students. He only needed to pay attention to the two people in front of him.

This time Xi Lan finally seemed to be reliable and did not suffer from amnesia. He introduced Adek, "Champion Adek, this is the teacher of Orange Academy and also your opponent in this exhibition match, Luo Mu."

Luo Mu extended his hand and said, "Hello, Champion Adek."

"Hello, Teacher Luo Mu, I'm Adek." Adek extended his hand to shake it back, looking at the young man in front of him inconspicuously, and finally revealed an expression of sighing.

This teacher is younger than he thought. He is about to have an exhibition match with this teacher. Considering the relationship between the United Alliance and the Padilla Alliance, it seems that he needs to go easy on the teacher a bit.

After a few pleasantries, Bai Leya announced that the opening exhibition match was about to begin.

When Adek turned around and walked to the other side of the battlefield, Xi Lan suddenly said, "Champion, please don't underestimate Teacher Luo Mu. Why do you think Miss Ye Ci, the chief champion of the Padiya Alliance, was willing to let him come alone, and why did we choose to invite you as a guest instead of Zi Yu's father, Master Ju Lao Da, and Du Ruo's grandfather, Master Xia Ka?"

Adek paused, looking thoughtful: "He is a champion?"

Xi Lan shook his head: "That is a secret of the Padya Alliance. I don't know about that."

"."

After a moment of silence, Adek's hand no longer held the Poké Ball in his pocket, but touched the six red and white Poké Balls that he had been wearing on his body.

This means that Adek will send out his main players.

Luo Mu naturally did not miss the change in Adek's actions. He chuckled and whispered, "That's right."

He was also very curious. After half a year of accumulation, had the gap between him and the regional champion been shortened, or even surpassed?
"This exhibition match will be a 3-on-3 singles match. Both sides can replace Pokémon at will. When three Pokémon of one side lose their ability to fight, the other side wins."

The loud voice of Bai Leya, who was acting as the referee, resounded throughout the arena through the loudspeaker. Luo Mu, who was ready for the doubles match, looked a little surprised, while Adek gave him an apologetic smile.

Compared to doubles matches, he is more used to singles matches.

"Please both parties release your Pokémon at the same time."

After Bai Leiya finished speaking, Luo Mu and Adek looked at each other. After receiving the shouts and cheers from Nimo and the others behind him, they decisively took out the Poké Ball: "Monarch Snake!"

Adek also threw a Poké Ball: "Rogue Crocodile!"

With red light flashing, a monarch snake with its head held high and a fierce crimson rogue crocodile with many black stripes on its body appeared on the battlefield.

The next moment, a burst of exclamations rang out. Obviously, the students of Blueberry Academy did not expect that Luo Mu would actually send out the Monarch Snake, one of the three signature families of the Unova region.

Off the court, the alliance member next to Danyu asked, "Danyu, who do you think will win?"

Danyu smiled and said confidently, "Of course it's the Adeke champion."

Wu Li, hiding behind Dan Yu, quietly looked at the two people and Pokémon on the field, wondering what he was thinking.

Even Adek showed a surprised expression: "Monarch snake? It really makes me miss it."

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the energy in the monarch snake's body became active.

Although Luo Mu felt a little sorry for the Frog King who had been preparing for so long, this was a one-on-one match requested by Adek, so it had no room to play.

There was a moment of silence, and then they both gave orders at the same time.

"sandstorm!"

"Flying Leaf Storm!"

The rogue crocodile roared loudly, and a sandstorm immediately rolled up. In an instant, the venue was covered by yellow sand, and the vision became unclear.

As the champion of the Unova region, Adek is well aware of the special abilities of the Monarch Snake.

The weather was clear at this time, and the monarch snake was very high-spirited when it appeared, which meant that the energy absorbed in its body had become active. Just by looking at the monarch snake, Adek became serious.

Xi Lan is right, this is a strong enemy!

The monarch snake raised the tip of its tail, and its whole body glowed with a deep green luster. Countless green leaves that were as sharp as blades gathered into a hurricane, breaking through the ubiquitous yellow sand barrier with a devastating force and roaring towards the rogue crocodile!

Adek quickly shouted, "Don't be afraid, rockfall will stop it!"

The rogue crocodile widened his ferocious eyes and stomped his thick lower limbs heavily on the ground. In the blink of an eye, several huge rocks fell from the sky and turned into a solid wall blocking the rogue crocodile!
The next moment, a storm of flying leaves swept in, and the power was beyond Adek's expectations. The whistling leaves directly cut the huge rock into countless pieces, and attacked the rogue crocodile again with a weakened momentum.

"What a powerful force!"

Adek exclaimed quickly, but his expression didn't change much.

The rogue crocodile did not just stand there. Without any command from Adek, the rogue crocodile opened its huge jaws, and the hot flames gathered and turned into a giant fang burning with flames, and bit down hard on the whistling storm of flying leaves!
boom!
A dull explosion sounded, and in the black smoke, the intact figure of the rogue crocodile was looming.

Even when facing the Monarch Cobra's specialty, Adek's Rogue Crocodile was not at all inferior.

This is the style of the league champion!

Luo Mu remained calm and said, "One more time, Leaf Storm."

The even more powerful leaf storm rolled up again, with the momentum that seemed to destroy the sandstorm as well!
[It seems like this is a demonstrative trait, so let’s just engage in close combat.]

This thought flashed through Adek's mind, and his eyes suddenly focused: "Dig a hole!"

The rogue crocodile brandished its sharp claws that could easily cut through steel bars and quickly dived into the ground. As the leaf storm, which was a step slower, fell into the air, the Monarch Snake's body surface once again began to emit an enhanced red glow.

The rogue crocodile dug the hole silently and quickly. Even the monarch snake with keen senses could not detect its movements for a while. Perhaps it was because Adek, as the league champion, gave the rogue crocodile special training.

However, there are methods.

In the yellow sand, Adek, with his arms folded across his chest, suddenly noticed with his sharp eyes that Luo Mu's expression had changed.

As if sensing something wrong, Adek's pupils shrank: "Get out of the underground, you rogue crocodile!"

"Too late, Crazy Plant."

As Luo Mu finished speaking, the vast energy like the ocean gushed out of the monarch snake's body crazily. In the blink of an eye, countless thick tree roots shot up into the sky, disrupting the sandstorm, and at the same time, they slammed into the ground with heavy force!
boom!
The students outside couldn't see clearly inside because of the yellow sand, and were looking around with a puzzled look on their faces.

The next moment, as the huge tree roots rose, the entire battlefield suddenly shook violently. Students who could not sit firmly fell to the ground in groups, and the equipment held up by the media reporters was even toppled over.

The rogue crocodile underground was the most affected, and jumped out of the ground in a mess.

Looking at the crazy plants dancing like wooden dragons, Adek knew how powerful the monarch snake was in developing this trick. Fortunately, at this time the rogue crocodile approached the monarch snake at the cost of certain injuries.

Next, it’s his turn!

The dancing crazy plants smashed towards the rogue crocodile under the control of the monarch snake the moment the rogue crocodile jumped out of the ground. Adek shouted, "Charge forward, 100,000 horsepower!"

"Roar!"

Thick red smoke rose from the surface of the rogue crocodile, and energy airflow lingered around it. Faced with crazy plants that were several times thicker than itself, the rogue crocodile fearlessly charged towards the monarch snake that was within reach!

boom!boom!boom!boom!
There were four consecutive explosions, and the crazy plant of the monarch snake that could resist fire for a while was torn to pieces by the rogue crocodile with absolute violence.

The monarch snake's body was extremely flexible as it dodged the sharp claws of the rogue crocodile. At a certain moment, the monarch snake's beautiful ruby ​​eyes lit up, and in the time bought by the crazy plants, the third leaf storm was ready to be completed!

Faced with the flying leaf storm bursting out at close range, the rogue crocodile could only open a light green barrier in a hurry. Relying on the absolute "defense" that could be called "invincible golden body" in the same class, it was blown away by the whistling wind mixed with leaves and the sandstorm!
As the sandstorm dissipated, the sun shone on the field again. Looking at the monarch snake bathed in the sun, Adek's expression was extremely solemn.

"Now, we are in trouble."

I originally wanted the rogue crocodile to stop the Monarch Snake from using its "opposition" characteristic to strengthen itself, but I didn't expect that this Monarch Snake also had a certain level of accomplishment in crazy plants and close combat.

Now, he has to face the Monarch Snake whose special attack has been strengthened to the maximum and is assisted by sunlight energy.

Even if we use the ace Vulcan Moth, it would probably be very troublesome to deal with it.

But in about two minutes, under the students' disbelief expressions, the rogue crocodile, unable to resist the monarch snake's torrential attack, fell to the ground with scars all over his body.

The monarch snake that defeated the rogue crocodile only had some wounds left by the rogue crocodile's desperate counterattack. After being strengthened to the maximum, it now has the ability to push the team.

The champion of Adek actually lost his first Pokémon first! ?
The students of Blueberry Academy were completely stunned. Nimo, who was watching the game from behind, cheered in the dead silence, which made the students, who were once full of confidence, feel even more heavy-hearted. Having no choice but to take back the rogue crocodile, Adek shrugged and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest."

He quickly accepted the fact that he was ahead and took out another Poké Ball from his body. Before he could think about how to deal with Adek of the Monarch Snake and release the Pokémon inside, Luo Mu suddenly raised his hand and said, "Come back, Monarch Snake."

Adek looked puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Luo Mu smiled slightly: "This is an exhibition match."

There is no need for them to fight to the death. They should give each other some face, just like Adek planned to give in and fight Luo Mu at the beginning.

“Hahaha, I see!” Adek laughed heartily and looked at Luo Mu with some appreciation, “Then keep fighting, Afro buffalo, gallop as much as you can!”

"Roentgen cat, it's your turn!"

Unlike the previous battle between the Monarch Snake and the Rogue Crocodile, which was fought in a sandstorm that obscured their vision for almost half the time, the battle between the Roentgen Cat and the Afro Buffalo can be said to be a display of the strength and beauty of the championship field.

The "self-sacrifice" characteristic of the Afro buffalo's violent attack without caring about its own injuries, and the heroic Roentgen cat with electricity all over its body fighting the Afro buffalo at lightning speed, made the students and media reporters watching the game dare not look away for a moment, for fear of missing the most important moment.

During the time when Adek's ace was forced to stay in the hospital due to weakness, Afro-Buffalo continued to be active as Adek's second ace until Adek raised the ace's offspring, another Vulcan Moth.

There is no doubt about the power of the Afro buffalo. Even if the Roentgen cat wanted to take it down, it took some effort. Finally, it used a thunder that fell from the sky to severely injure the already wounded Afro buffalo, thus laying the foundation for victory.

As the Afro buffalo fell, in the silent environment, Luo Mu took a slight breath and recovered from the Roentgen Cat, who had consumed some of his energy because of the Afro buffalo's crazy fighting style.

Through comparison, Luo Mu had a very clear understanding of his own strength.

So, the next one is to test the limits.

Looking at Luo Mu, Adek's expression contained admiration and a hint of envy.

He was amazed that Luo Mu's strength was comparable to his own and that he could defeat his two main Pokémon in succession without letting them off. He was envious that the Padia League had such a brilliant and talented trainer.

With his former ace Vulcan Moth in the hospital, he hadn't had a proper fight for a long time. He didn't expect that he would treat it as an exhibition match that he could just deal with, but he met someone as strong as himself.

It's almost the end, and he will give it his all no matter what.

After ending this battle, he will travel all over the United States to find talents that can be trained and let new talents support the United States.

Still with that generous smile, Adek's eyes revealed a domineering look like a lion, and he threw the last Poké Ball: "Be the sun and illuminate Unova, Vulcan Moth!"

As the Poké Ball opened, the Vulcan Moth flew in the air.

The Fire Moth has a pair of crystal blue eyes, red antennae wrapped around its cheeks, a circle of white fluff surrounding the upper part of its plump body, and above the fluff are its two pairs of small feet.

As the three pairs of huge orange-red wings on the back of the Fire Moth flapped, dazzling flame scales fell off, and its body was surrounded by fiercely burning flames, making the Fire Moth look like the monarch of the sun, exuding an aura that shocked the entire audience.

The temperature around them suddenly rose, and countless people looked up at the sky. The Vulcan Moths in the sky emitted endless light and heat, like a dazzling red sun, illuminating the confused Blueberry Alliance students.

Akamatsu, the youngest of the Four Blueberry Kings, showed a relieved smile. In his memory, as long as Adek sent out the Vulcan Moth, he would definitely win!

Du Ruo stared blankly at the Vulcan Moth in the sky. This was the target he had been pursuing!

Mudan read the information she had just looked up: "In the Unova region, the Vulcan Moth is called the incarnation of the sun. It is said that when the ground becomes dark and cold due to the volcanic ash covering the sky, the Vulcan Moth will transform into the sun and bring light and heat to the Unova region."

"It was also revered as the God of Fire by the people of the ancient United States."

Nemo's eyes lit up. She also wanted to capture a Vulture Moth!

Looking at the Vulcan Moth's cool appearance, Luo Mu was not nervous, but instead felt disappointed for a moment.

The momentum of this Vulcan Moth is only slightly stronger than that of the Afro Buffalo. Even if it is confronted with a continuous battle by the Roentgen Cat, it can defeat the opponent without paying a small price without being too crystallized.

As expected, Adek’s trump card is now in a weak and dying state, or has already passed away.

"Go ahead with respect, Swampert!"

Luo Mu's tone was calm, like the calm sea before an explosion.

The figure of Swampert then emerged, and its momentum was no less powerful than that of Vulcan Moth. Without waiting for Adek to give any command, Luo Mu lightly touched the Evolution Keystone.

"Swampert, Mega Evolution!"

As the dazzling light of evolution bloomed, the students and media who were in the audience were completely shocked.

Swampert can evolve? Are you kidding me!
"Could it be the one in the Kalos area?" Adek's eyes flickered, somewhat unsure.

The light faded, and the muscular Mega Swampert roared with terrifying momentum. The proud Vulcan Moth in the sky changed its expression and looked seriously at Mega Swampert, the threatening opponent.

Adek said solemnly: "Vulcan Moth, Fire Dance!"

With a sound of insect chirping, the Vulcan Moth trembled its six wings that became increasingly crimson, and flame scales as dazzling as sparks scattered down. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a fiercely burning sea of ​​fire. The heat wave distorted the air, forcing the students to take a few steps back to avoid being caught in it.

Luo Mu grinned, as if he didn't take the attack of the Vulcan Moth seriously at all: "Pray for rain!"

Thick dark clouds gathered and covered the sky. Bean-sized raindrops fell like waterfalls. White mist evaporated between countless flames and water rose upwards. Swampert, who was in the sea of ​​fire but almost unharmed, showed a provocative smile to Vulcan Moth.

Vulcan Moth's anger was instantly aroused by the Mega Swampert. It let out a sharp scream and was about to attack when Adek stopped it: "The weather is not good for us. First, change the weather and make it sunny!"

Just as Vulcan Moth was about to gather fire energy and send it into the sky to cover the rain-seeking creature, Adek, who was on the ground, thought that the Mega Swampert, which could not touch Vulcan Moth, turned into an afterimage and disappeared instantly in the broken field.

Adek's pupils shrank. The performance of Mega Swampert completely overturned his imagination. He looked up at the sky and shouted anxiously, "What's wrong with the speed? Vulcan Moth, be careful!"

But it was too late.

From Vulcan Moth's perspective, Mega Swampert suddenly appeared in front of him at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye. The airbag in his right fist was fully opened, and as the gushing water accelerated, it exploded directly on Vulcan Moth's body with tremendous force!

The blazing red sun hanging in the sky was shot down by Mega Swampert at this moment!
boom!
Along with the painful chirping of the Fire Moth, its body was smashed heavily to the ground. The ground cracked layer by layer, and even the Fire Moth's noble body was covered with mud.

Without time to adjust its posture, Vulcano flapped its wings violently as it watched the rapidly falling Mega Swampert. The storm, along with the burning part of the flame scales, whistled towards Mega Swampert.

With the bonus of praying for rain, the momentum of this attack was quite fierce. Mega Swampert, who had difficulty exerting force, blocked in front of his body with his arms and was forced to be blown away by the strong wind, giving Vulcano some time to catch its breath.

The Vulcan Moth flew up again and evaporated all the water droplets that approached it, dancing in a beautiful white mist. This was a combination of "Butterfly Dance" and "Fire Dance" developed by Adek, which allowed the Vulcan Moth to become more courageous as a monarch snake.

Swampert's supposedly bulky body turned into a deep blue afterimage again and instantly approached Vulcan Moth. A biting frost exploded, and whether it was the water droplets, white mist or Vulcan Moth, they were all completely frozen.

However, as the dazzling flames lit up, the ice was directly melted by the high temperature, and the Vulcan Moth, whose movements had slowed down somewhat, continued to dance.

There was still some shock on Adek's expression. If he guessed correctly, the characteristic of the evolved Swampert should have become "Easy to Swim"!
Facing an opponent like Vulcan Moth, Mega Swampert became more and more excited. Entangled in the surging water and ignoring Vulcan Moth's hot wind that was enough to melt steel, Mega Swampert, with unparalleled power, slammed into Vulcan Moth like a land chariot.

The constant battle between fire and water stunned the audience, but as the battle progressed, some students showed panic expressions: "Is the action of feeding the Vulcan Moth getting slower and slower?"

Vulcan Moth, which should have become more and more agile with the superposition of Butterfly Dance and Fire Dance, became increasingly weaker in the battle with the unreasonable power of Mega Swampert. Even the blazing flames were completely suppressed by the surf rolled up by Swampert.

Until the Vulcan Moth, whose movement continuity had a fatal flaw, was broken by the water flow of Mega Swampert and slammed into the ground. Then the sea of ​​fire that could even withstand rain seemed to have lost its support and gradually went out.

On the battlefield, which was in a mess and could no longer be seen, Mega Swampert, who had barely received any damage in the fierce battle and had forced Vulcan Moth into a state of disarray, stood tall like a mountain, forming the sharpest contrast with the Vulcan Moth that had fallen to the side and was no longer burning.

When Bai Leya announced the result of the exhibition match in a slightly trembling voice, the students and media reporters finally showed expressions as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Adek, the champion of the Unova League, was defeated by an ordinary teacher from Orange Academy!

This was a result they never expected.

Compared with the Blueberry Academy members who looked depressed as if their pillars had collapsed, Nemo and the others had already cheered.

Mudan pushed the frame of her glasses and had to admit that Teacher Luo Mu was much stronger than she had expected.

Akamatsu, who regarded Adek's Vulcan Moth as his savior, showed a shaken expression: "No way, Mr. Adek actually lost."

The members of the Alliance Club were in a mess. Wu Li, who was behind Dan Yu, stared at Luo Mu and Swampert, who had already exited Mega Evolution, with a look of admiration on his face: "So strong. So awesome."

Adek took back the Vulcan Moth, shrugged helplessly, and smiled with relief: "I am not as skilled as you, you win."

Adek didn't think about whether the outcome of this battle would be different if his original partner, the Vulcan Moth, was still alive. If he lost, he lost completely. He was not shameless enough to that extent.

I'm afraid this will be his last time fighting with all his strength. The moment the Vulcan Moth fell, Adek had made up his mind.

From now on, he will focus on the training of young trainers in the Unova region, and the responsibility of protecting Unova can only be shamelessly thrown to the Four Heavenly Kings.

However, Luo Mu's slightly regretful response made Adek stunned: "I really want to compete with your original partner. The heat of that flame will surely burn Mega Swampert's Surf to ashes."

Is he not satisfied yet?
Adek looked a little disappointed, but he still made a promise: "If my old friend ever recovers, let's fight again."

Luo Mu was silent for a moment. Does this mean that the Vulcan Moth is still alive?

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Mu asked, "Mr. Adek, can I ask what the current status of your Vulcan Moth is?"

Anyway, no one could hear their idle chat. Adek, who respected Luo Mu's strength, smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay to tell you. In the early years, in order to protect the alliance and me, it overused its power and caused damage to its origin."

"Because there is no way to replenish its lost essence, even though I have tried everything, it can only lie in the hospital now, and it is getting weaker as time goes by."
