The clouds covering the sun dissipated, and golden light fell in front of Lu Ye and Darkrai.
There was silence, and the two looked at each other for a long time.
Darkrai suddenly raised a smile that was so arrogant that it could rival the twin dragons of Sinnoh, and held out his claw.
Lu Ye stretched out his hand and shook it. The moment their palms touched, Darkrai suddenly turned into a red light.
Gengar, Sylveon, Arcanine, Rhydon... Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the Dream Ball on the bush.
The next moment.
There were ghosts howling and screams of 'ohhhhh' in the coffee shop.
The Dream Ball contains the Darkrai of Poplar Town... No, it should be called the Darkrai of the Pokémon Cafe.
Shake it gently three times.
Then there was a 'beep' sound.
Produces pleasant sound effects.
Lu Ye was slightly distracted.
At the same time, a shadow-like Darkrai rose up behind Lu Ye, folding his arms and said coldly:
"All the diamonds that should be distributed must be distributed without missing a single one."
Lu Ye smiled with relief and said, "Of course!"
Dream ball, battle against the legend, Darkrai.
The number of illegal Pokémon in the team has increased!
Geng Gui raised the dream ball: "Kou Jie! (≧?≦)ノ"
Lu Ye: "That's mine..."
Geng Gui narrowed his eyes and scratched his head shyly: "Kou Jie~"
All the same, all the same~!
Chapter 834 Dakoto: It’s my turn, draw a card!
Tuesday, May 10th.
The Prism Tower soared into the sky, its glass windows gleaming with light. A large number of citizens gathered in the central square at the bottom of the tower.
In the center of the venue, a Ptcg card battle has entered a white-hot stage.
One of them was wearing a cape and had flowing gray hair. He was Dakoto, known as the 'divine beast man'.
The other one is a well-known Ptcg enthusiast and the seventh of the eight masters, the Dragon Master Chibana!
"Crush his Latios EX." Chibana said, "Remove the two fighting energies, Altanon V, use Metal Claw!"
On the holographic field, the aluminum-steel dragon with a metal body hummed with white light and swung out its powerful metal claws.
Latios EX screamed, fell to the ground and died, and shattered with a "crack".
"Since Latios EX was in a state of suffocation, I received two reward cards."
Chibana's mouth curled up:
"Get four more bonus cards and victory will be mine!"
Dakodo frowned tightly and heard the whispers of the audience in his ears.
"It's actually a V-card pack that hasn't been released yet... It's a big step ahead of Dark."
"Maybe Chibana and the Pokémon Company have a collaboration. Mr. Lu himself also uses a V deck."
"You have to believe in Dakoto. A truly strong person can even rewrite the card draw by himself!"
Dakoto took a deep breath, stared at Chibana, and slowly said:
"Your [Aluminum Steel Dragon V] is very strong... None of the Pokémon in my preparation area can defeat it."
"Even." Darko narrowed his eyes, "You haven't activated the Vmax evolution yet."
"Hmm? It seems that Mr. Lu has already revealed the Vmax evolution version to you." Chibana grinned, "I only have the trump card of Altan V... But this is the key to my victory!"
"Is that so?"
Dakoto put his hand on the back of the next card, his gray hair fluttering, his eyes stern:
"Let me show you the bond between Darkrai and me."
"My turn - draw a card."
Dakoto suddenly pulled out the next card, his eyes flashed, and he slapped it down, saying in a stern voice:
"I activate the item card, Master Ball!"
There was an uproar at the scene, and then a red-purple Master Ball flew into the air, opened with a "bang", and took a Pokémon in the deck into it.
"This is it." Chibana said in amazement, "The reward for the last PTCG world champion, a card printed by Mr. Lu?"
Dakoto did not answer, and said coldly: "The effect of the Master Ball is to search for a Pokémon from your deck, show it to your opponent and then add it to your hand. And reshuffle the deck. I chose-"
"[Darkrai GX]!"
The audience was shocked: "It's coming!"
"At the same time, I put [Darkrai GX] into the standby zone and activate the Trainer Card."
Dakoto showed a rather domineering card: "[Sakaki's Expulsion]!"
"The effect of this card is to select up to two of your Pokémon on standby, and discard the selected Pokémon and the attached cards to the discard pile—"
Darko's eyes showed determination: "The Pokémon I sent to the graveyard is Darkrai GX!"
"Sending your own trump card to the cemetery?" Chibana was stunned.
"The turn is not over yet. I activate the characteristic of Darkrai GX in the graveyard to restore it."
Dakdo said in a deep voice:
"During your turn, you can use this characteristic once while this card is in the drop zone. Put this card into the battle zone. Then, choose 1 Dark Energy from the drop zone and attach it to this card. Return it from the graveyard—"
"My Tamashi, Darkrai GX!!"
The light of a blood moon rose in the holographic venue. Darkrai was surrounded by turbid mist and slowly rose up. He had a cold look in his eyes and folded his arms.
"I'll place another evil energy card." Dakoto said coldly, "My turn is over."
"My turn - draw a card!" Chibana shouted, "Aluminum Steel Dragon, Vmax evolution!!"
Aluminum Steel Dragon Vmax is the latest card in Sword and Shield S7D. Its health bar is as high as 330. Its characteristic "Skyscraper" will not be damaged by the opponent's moves with special energy. As a "Tamashi", its resistance and strength are undoubtedly demonstrated.
The Vmax evolution corresponds to the Gigantamax of the sword and shield, while the GX moves correspond to the Sun and Moon Z moves, spanning a large version environment.
However, when Aluminum Steel Dragon Vmax dies, Dakodo can get three reward cards.
On the holographic field, the size of Aluminum Steel Dragon V continued to expand, eventually forming a towering metal building. There was still a gap with reality, but in the holographic battle, the sense of oppression was full.
"Your Darkrai GX's health bar is only 180, and it's even twice as weak. Can it withstand the next attack?" Chibana grinned, "I'll attach a Fighting Energy, and the turn ends!"
"You should have forgotten." Dakoto said calmly, "Aluminum Steel Dragon Vmax is still in a burned state."
Chibana was slightly startled and said, "So what?"
"Indeed, Altanon Vmax has excellent resistance." Darko's eyes were serious, "But I also have a GX move that can only be used once per game."
"I'm going to place one more grid of evil energy this round. There are three grids of evil energy on the field. I'm going to attack!"
"I activate Darkrai's GX move, Death's End." Darko shouted, "Remove three grids of evil energy. If the opponent's combat Pokémon is in an abnormal state, that Pokémon will be put into a state of suffocation."
"Instant kill that ignores resistance and health?" Chibana's eyes widened. "Hey, this card is fake, it can't have such a perverted effect."
"This is the bond between me and Darkrai GX."
Dakto, with flowing gray hair, stretched out his arms and said:
"Darkrai, Death's End!"
Darkrai suddenly flew into the sky, and a black and red fission ray shot out from his palm, hitting the skyscraper-like aluminum dragon Vmax.
Amid a series of explosions, the super-giant aluminum steel dragon fell down and broke into pieces!
[Dakto: 3→0]
"I used up the last three reward cards." Dakoto said, "I won this battle."
The scene was silent, Chibana was in a daze, and the audience opened their mouths wide.
There was sudden applause from outside the crowd.
Lu Ye sat on Victini's shoulder and clapped:
"Sbarasi, what a wonderful match."
Dakoto and Chibana's pupils shrank: "Teacher Lu?"
"You two are important partners of our company." Lu Ye said happily, "I heard that you were fighting here, so I came to see it."
"The [Aluminum Steel Dragon Vmax] you gave me is not strong either, Teacher Lu." Qibana put his hands in his pockets and pouted.
"That's because you don't know how to use it." Lu Ye said, "Or I will fight with Darko Boy again to show you the charm of Vmax evolution."
Dakdo shuddered and immediately declined: "No need."
Last year, Mr. Lu's [Eevee Hero] deck left a very deep psychological shadow on Dakodo.
There is still the final to be played, and Dakodo doesn't want his heart to be unbalanced.
"Really?" Lu Ye sighed regretfully.
I also want to find Dakoto to try out the newly printed cards.
Currently, Ptcg has evolved into the most popular and profitable collectible card game in the world, thanks in large part to the promotion of Darko, Chibana and others.
"That's the legendary trainer, Mr. Lu, right?"
"It's obviously President Lu Ye!"
Before the media arrived after hearing the news, Mr. Lu invited Dakoto and Chibana to the coffee shop.
"Why are you participating in the competition?" Lu Ye asked.
Chibana shrugged and took a sip of coffee. "The Galar affairs are being handled by Dantei, and the Quanguan City Arena is under repair, so I came out to travel."
As an Internet celebrity, Chibana has a strong interest in social selfies, trendy games, etc.
Of course, since he has never won the battle against Dandi, there are always a lot of complaints under every post of Chibana.
"Nothing major has happened in Galar recently, right?" Lu Ye pondered, thinking of what Professor Zhengu said about the "special event".
"Big news?" Chibana scratched his headscarf. "There will be a total solar eclipse in Quanguan City soon. Do you want to come and see it? The observatory has already predicted it in advance."
Lu Ye was stunned.
Another total solar eclipse again!
Arceus once, Necrozma once, and now again!
Lu Ye crossed his fingers and placed them on the bridge of his nose.
Calm down... maybe it's just a normal astronomical phenomenon...
The dream ball on the side of the waist was shaking slightly.
Darkrai crossed his arms, floating behind him in shadow form, glancing at Lu Ye with a speechless look on his face.
You say this, do you believe it yourself
"Ah, Senior..."
Darkrai, who was like a spirit behind Darko, also saw Lu Ye's Darkrai and widened his eyes in shock:
"Have you entered the Poké Ball as well..."
"Yes." Darkrai nodded generously, "At least the food is good. Here, let you try it."
Darkrai flexed his claws and threw a golden cube to the opponent.
Darkrai of Darko thanked him politely, put the pill in his mouth, and instantly burst into tears.
