Pokémon: Master System

"What are they trying to do?!"

“They want to get into the valley first… No, we can’t let them succeed, we have to stop them.”

"Let's not rush into action. The United States is definitely more anxious than we are. Let's wait for them to make the first move."

…………

Hua Guo's actions touched the hearts of everyone present. Everyone looked at Xia Yu and the others with serious expressions, curious about what Hua Guo was going to do.

However, to everyone's astonishment, the five people from China rode Pokémon and sped towards the valley!

This sudden action caught everyone off guard, and they were stunned for a few moments before they came to their senses.

"Attack! We can't let them gain the upper hand!" shouted Elijah, the champion from the United States. "Gemstone Starfish, Water Pulse!"

As Elijah's voice rang out, the other champions also gave orders, commanding their Pokémon to attack Xia Yu and the others!

"Dragonball, Dragon Pulse!"

"Crimson Lotus Armored Cavalry, Armored Cannon!"

…………

In an instant, red, blue, green, and purple energies transformed into dazzling beams of light, tearing through the air and trailing colorful tails of light, like a torrential downpour that swept across the sky and crashed toward the entrance.

"You go first!"

Xia Yu fell to the back of the group, standing at the narrow entrance of the valley. He suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice, while turning his head to look back at the countless attacks coming his way. He took out a Poké Ball and threw it gently.

"boom!"

A huge explosion rang out, and countless attacks engulfed Xia Yu, stirring up clouds of dust!

The earth trembled with a roar. Before the dust stirred up by the first wave of attacks had even settled, more attacks, trailing shrieks, plunged into the smoke and dust.

The steep rock face cracked, and a boulder weighing tens of tons was lifted into the air, where it was hit by an energy beam and exploded into dust.

Countless attacks engulfed Xia Yu, dust flew up, and a raging sandstorm arose.

"Stop!" Elijah's voice rang out, his gaze fixed on the swirling sandstorm.

One moment the battlefield was brimming with energy from all elements, the next it fell into an eerie silence.

No one dared to defy Elijah, the renowned and formidable champion from the United States.

The valley was silent, save for the dust and gravel kicked up by the explosion, which flew in the wind, tumbling, colliding, and rising in the air, forming a wall of ochre-yellow sandstorm that blotted out the sky.

Everyone froze, trainers and Pokémon alike, all stopping what they were doing, their eyes fixed on the center of the raging sandstorm as if drawn by an invisible magnet!

"Ho..."

Someone gasped, the sound unusually clear in the silence.

Deep within the sandstorm, behind the curtain of dust, a gigantic silhouette quietly emerged.

The shadow pierced through the sandstorm, looming over everyone's heart, cold and heavy.

The sandstorm blotted out the sky, almost blocking the entrance to the entire valley. A terrifying sense of oppression surged from behind the sandstorm like a tidal wave, and a cold and damp atmosphere filled the air, making even the dry air feel moist.

The once clear sky suddenly turned shrouded in twilight, as if all the surrounding light had been swallowed up.

"Tick tock!"

The rain continued to fall, growing heavier and heavier.

"Woo!"

Immediately afterwards, a low, ethereal wail, accompanied by a gale, came from the center of the sandstorm, scattering the sandstorm across the sky!

“Lapras…” Elijah stared at the permanent Gigantamax Lapras before him, his deep voice ringing out.

All eyes were fixed on the top of the head of the Gigantamax Lapras, where a figure stood atop its massive head, looking down at everyone present.

"Xia Yu!"

Elijah's eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Xia Yu standing atop the Gigantamax Lapras, but he quickly shifted his gaze to Xia Yu's side.

A deep blue stone slab, resembling the ocean, floated beside Xia Yu, radiating dazzling light and exuding rich water-based energy.

"Water droplets on a stone slab..."

At this moment, the permanent Gigantamax Laplace stood like a warrior guarding the pass, blocking the way into the valley!

Elijah took a deep breath, his sharp gaze sweeping over the massive body of the Gigantamax Lapras and looking into the valley.

The other champions and captains of China have long since disappeared. They have fallen too far behind and must break through the permanent super giant Laplace in front of them as soon as possible to catch up!

"Let's do it together!" Elijah took a deep breath and shouted to everyone, "China wants to monopolize the benefits inside, we must not let them succeed."

As Elijah's voice rang out, everyone commanded their Pokémon to launch an attack on the permanently Gigantamax Lapras.

"Laplace!" Upon hearing Xia Yu's voice, Xia Yu also took a deep breath, his face showing a solemn expression.

Although he was very strong, he did not dare to face champions from so many countries at the same time. At this moment, Xia Yu was already thinking of retiring, but before leaving, he decided to make one last contribution to the champions of China!

"Gigantamax Aurora Melody!" As Xia Yu's voice fell, a chilling aura surged from the Gigantamax Lapras, and ice-type energy raged like a tide, filling the entire valley. Then, a transparent beam of ice-type energy shot into the sky, illuminating the entire valley!

Seeing this, Xia Yu also released the Noise Wave Dragon, flipped over and rode it, flying towards the valley.

"boom!"

The terrifying beam of light pierced into the dark clouds, seemingly freezing the sky!

The sky seemed to be shrouded in ice, and the rain that was falling turned into hail.

Immediately afterwards, countless terrifyingly huge ice balls fell from the sky, crashing to the ground like meteors.

"boom!"

Countless attacks erupted from the ground, colliding with the giant ice ball falling from the sky and shattering it.

Without exception, all the falling ice balls were shattered by these master-level Pokémon. These broken ice balls turned into dust that filled the air like ice mist.

Other Pokémon attacks flew straight towards the Gigantamax Lapras, striking its massive body with unerring accuracy.

"Woo!"

The Gigantamax Lapras let out a painful cry, but in an instant, a red light shone on it, pulling it back into its Poké Ball.

"Let's go." Xia Yu took one last look at the entrance to the valley, which was shrouded in snow mist, and then plunged into the valley without looking back.

Although the attack from the permanent Gigantamax Lapras was ineffective, Xia Yu had achieved his goal. He had bought valuable time for China, and whether they could reap any rewards depended on themselves.

As for Xia Yu himself, he had only one goal: to defeat the Pokémon Master and get to the Padia Pit as soon as possible.

There's a high probability that there are mythical creatures in the Padia Pit!
