Pokémon: Master System.

Extinction Song: Pokémon that listens to the song will enter the Extinction Song state. After a period of time, all affected Pokémon will lose all their HP and lose all their battle abilities.

Replacing or recalling a Pokémon can remove the Extinction Song status.

Chapter 418 A Thick White Mist

The mysterious Song of the Sea began to play, its melodious tune carrying a hint of annihilation, which to Qi Linlong and the others sounded more like a countdown to death.

Perish Song is also Lapras's signature move, and it's an extremely powerful tactic in double battles. When paired with a Mega Gengar or Gothicourt with the Shadow Tag ability, it can completely wipe out all Pokémon on the field.

However, to Xia Yu's dismay, his Gengar is still too weak. Even if the Totem-level Gengar Mega Evolves into Shadow Tag Warrior, it still can't stand up to the shadow of a Champion-level Pokémon.

Moreover, the skill "Song of Destruction" has both advantages and disadvantages. It is not only effective against enemies, but also against Laplace and allies.

However, it should be noted that Perish Song does not work on Gigantamax Pokémon!

This also means that Gigantamax Lapras is unaffected by Perish Song, which is practically a bug-level ability, especially since Xia Yu's Gigantamax Lapras is a permanently fixed Gigantamax Pokémon.

There is only one of its kind in the entire world!

Once Gengar grows up and teams up with Gigantamax Lapras, who can stop me?

Xia Yu's eyes flickered as he looked at everyone present.

The issues of Shadow Stepping and Song Annihilation are still some time away; the key is to get through this immediate crisis first.

The reason he chose to have Gigantamax Lapras use Perish Song is not because he wanted to eliminate all the Pokémon present. These champion trainers are not fools; they will definitely replace the Pokémon to counter Perish Song.

Xia Yu's main goal was to force them to replace their Pokémon, creating an opportunity for them to escape.

This is a naked conspiracy.

Not replacing my Pokémon means death, but replacing it gives me a chance to escape.

Just like the Nine-Turned Intestines, it's the ultimate open scheme: if you don't eat it, you can't eliminate me; if you do eat it, you'll fall into my trap.

…………

Qi Linlong and the others' faces also turned extremely gloomy.

Faced with Laplace's death song, they had only two choices.

First, recall all Pokémon present, replace them with other Pokémon, and remove the Extinction Song status.

The second option is to defeat Laplace before the effect of the Song of Annihilation takes effect, thus ending the battle.

However, this group of people were also seasoned veterans who had experienced countless battles. They were not easily thrown off balance by a song of annihilation. In just a moment, Qi Linlong came up with a solution.

Qi Linlong calmly directed everyone present: "Everyone, don't panic. We shouldn't replace our Pokémon at the same time. There's still a while before the Extinction Song takes effect. We'll recall our Pokémon in batches."

"Dick, recall the Wood Demon and the Sand Devourer first."

"Then wait for Dick to send them out again, and Pachat and Ungol will each recall their Pokémon."

"After you take back your Pokémon, I will take back my Pokémon."

It has to be said that Qi Linlong is truly skilled at raising his Pokémon to Champion level. In this critical moment, he formulated a complete response plan in just a moment.

"We must not lose our composure or fall into Giovanni's trap. Keep a close eye on him and don't give him any openings." Qi Linlong's voice rang out: "Now that Giovanni has even used a skill like Quincy Song, it proves that he has truly run out of tricks."

Following Qi Linlong's instructions, the other three champions nodded, and Dick also took the lead in recalling his Pokémon according to the plan.

"Come back, Wood Demon, Sand Devourer Lord."

With two fewer Pokémon attacking, Gigantamax Lapras's pressure decreased dramatically. However, at the same time, the attacks from the previous few Pokémon, along with the attacks from nearly ten Pokémon with near-champion strength, all landed on Gigantamax Lapras, causing it significant damage.

Blaziken's Brick Break move also created spiderweb-like cracks in the Aurora Veil. I believe that with one or two more attacks, it will be able to completely destroy the Aurora Veil.

It's clear from the current situation that even though Gigantamax Laplace has used Deathsong, he is still at a significant disadvantage.

"Laplace, the white mist."

However, at this crucial moment, Xia Yu commanded Laplace to unleash a skill that puzzled everyone.

White mist?

White Mist is a non-offensive transformation skill. Its effect is to summon a cold white mist to cover the body, preventing the opponent from reducing their abilities for a certain period of time.

This skill left everyone somewhat puzzled, but since Giovanni used the White Mist skill at such a crucial moment, he must have had his own purpose.

Qi Linlong and the other three watched "Gakki" cautiously and warily: "Dick, send your Pokémon into battle. Pachat and Wingu, recall your Pokémon."

"it is good."

"Come out, Wood Demon, Sand Devourer Lord."

"Come back, Miss Gothic, Blaziken."

"Typhon, Torkoal, keep using Flamethrower!"

Just as the four gave the order, Gigantamax Lapras suddenly began to emit a chilling aura, and a visible mist of cold air spread outwards.

As winter passes, wherever the ice fog reaches, all the flowers, grasses, and trees are covered with a thick layer of white frost.

The icy fog obscured everyone's vision.

In just a moment, the figure of Gigantamax Laplace faded and faded, as if it was about to disappear!

"Don't let him get away!" Qi Linlong also came to his senses at this moment. Laplace's White Mist skill really only summoned a sky full of white mist.

The darkness and white fog provided Xia Yu with an excellent opportunity to escape.

Moreover, Xia Yu chose the perfect time to escape.

Of the six champion-level Pokémon before them, only Blaziken has learned to clear the fog, and Blaziken has just been returned to its Poké Ball because of Perish Song.

As for the other Pokémon with near-championship strength, they couldn't clear the thick fog in front of them, so now was undoubtedly the perfect time to escape!

Everything was part of Xia Yu's plan.

Use Extinction Song to force Blaziken to retreat, then use that opportunity to escape using Mist.

Interlocking.

Even in such a dangerous moment, Xia Yu had devised an escape strategy, proceeding cautiously step by step, until now when his sharp edge was finally revealed and he found a sliver of an opportunity.

…………

Now, as long as he runs to the nearest river, relying on Gigantamax Laplace's advantage in the water, no one can stop him!

Xia Yu recalled Gigantamax Lapras and rode Noivern away at high speed.

Xia Yu's plan can be described as quite perfect.

However, he overlooked a crucial factor: the white fog could only obscure vision, but not smell, hearing, or the ability to track sound waves.

He has a Pokémon like Noivern that can travel through dense fog, and so do others!

The moment the white mist appeared, Qi Linlong immediately released a Heavenly King-level Sonic Dragon!

"Sonic Wave Dragon, chase after him, don't let him get away."

In the dense white mist, Qi Linlong recalled the Firestorm Beast and the Coal Turtle, and rode the King-level Sonic Dragon to chase after Xia Yu's figure!

…………

Chapter 419 Xia Yu's Last Resort (Part 2)

In the biting cold fog, two Noivern Dragons darted through the thick fog one after the other, flapping their wings and creating a chilling wind.

Xia Yu rode the Sonic Dragon and kept fleeing, darting through the jungle at high speed. Using sound waves to locate himself, he completed a series of difficult aerial maneuvers and fled towards the nearest river.

Similarly, Qi Linlong behind him was also riding on the Soundwave Dragon, completely replicating Xia Yu's Soundwave Dragon's movements, relentlessly pursuing, only at a faster speed!

Although both were riding Noivern, the difference in their strength allowed Qi Linlong's Noivern to quickly close the distance.

Meanwhile, behind Qi Linlong, the other champions rode their Pokémon close behind his Noivern. In the hazy white fog, with Qi Linlong's Noivern acting as a guiding light, they wouldn't lose their way.

The chase was short, lasting less than a minute. Qi Linlong had already caught up with Xia Yu. He could hear the sound of Xia Yu's sonic dragon flying through the mist and gradually saw the backs of Xia Yu and the sonic dragon.

"Caught up!"

Riding on the back of the Sonic Dragon, Qi Linlong revealed a cruel smile and shouted to the crowd behind him, "He's here! Remember to follow, Sonic Dragon, use Dragon Pulse to stop him!"

Dragon-type energy surged, and Qi Linlong's sonic dragon let out a high-pitched roar. Dragon-type energy spewed from its mouth, tearing through the ice mist like a giant dragon, and flew towards Xia Yu.

Faced with Noivern's attack, Xia Yu gritted his teeth and had no choice but to take out the Dream Ball and release Darkrai to defend against it.

"Darkrai, the wave of evil."

After receiving treatment from Cresselia, Darkrai regained some of his strength and was able to fight again.

"Don't be afraid, chase after them!"

Qi Linlong calmly commanded the Sonic Dragon to fight. He did not think he could defeat "Sakaki" on his own. All he needed to do was to hold "Sakaki" back and prevent him from escaping.

Surround them without killing them, patiently waiting for reinforcements.

"boom!"

The explosion of energy whipped up a gale, carrying with it the chill of the forest, which blew against their faces like a knife, cutting their skin and leaving faint bloodstains.

While the two sides were fighting, Pachat and the others took the opportunity to catch up, and Pachat released Blaziken again.

"Blazing Chicken, clear the fog."
