Chapter 835 Dakoto: My turn, draw a card!
May 10, Tuesday.
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 fan, and the seventh of the eight masters, Dragon Master Chibana! "Crush his Latios EX." Chibana said, "Remove two fighting energies, Aluminum Steel Dragon 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 lips curled up: "If I get four more bonus cards, 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 even activated your 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?"
Darko put his hand on the back of the next card, his gray hair flowing, 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 astonishment, "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 place [Darkrai GX] in 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 for battle, and throw all the selected Pokémon and the attached cards into 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, and Darkrai was surrounded by turbid mist and slowly rose up, with a cold look in his eyes and his arms folded.
"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 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 an ordinary 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:
"H-Have you also entered the Poké Ball..."
"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.
"Why are you crying..."
"Nothing, it's just that I haven't tasted an energy cube in a long time."
Darkrai in the coffee shop was a little emotional and patted the other person on the shoulder.
You picked it, little nightmare god! In the courtyard, Latias looked at his haggard brother and crossed his arms proudly: "Lati!"
My stupid onii-chan.
Now, I am more powerful than you! Latios looked at his sister and sighed.
Generally speaking, in the Shuidu family, the elder brother is better at fighting.
However, following Lu Ye, Latias's strength has improved greatly.
The brother and sister were reunited, and Latios, as the older brother, felt relieved.
In the front hall.
Darko led Latios and Darkrai and left first, saying that he would continue the challenge.
This animated character, designed based on the real-life PTCG world champion, actually became the PTCG world champion, which can be regarded as the conclusion of the world line.
"World Championship, have you got matched for the next game, Mr. Lu?" Chibana asked casually.
"Not yet. It's always difficult to make an appointment," said Lu Ye.
"Why not..." Chibana's eyes were burning, "Fight with me."
Lu Ye was startled and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Chibana grinned.
Chibana currently ranks seventh among the eight masters and frequently challenges a series of powerful men such as Dan Di and Ma Shide.
Fighting against the fighting legend has always been Chibana’s wish.
Lu Ye's eyes narrowed: "So... you are very brave?"
Kibana leaned back in his chair, resting his feet on the table legs and leaning back, crossing his arms and smiling, "How about it? If we're going to fight, the location will be at the Galar Palace store."
"Okay." Lu Ye nodded.
Darkrai had just joined the team, so it wasn't an insult to him to fight against the seventh-best player in the world.
"besides."
"how?"
"Be careful with the chair."
Before he could finish his words, Chibana lost his balance and fell to the ground: "Ouch!"
Lu Ye looked down and saw the little fat boy sneaking his head out. He first wiped the shoe prints on the table legs with a rag, then gave a thumbs up:
"Kou Jie! ()"
…
Two days later, the second PTCG World Championship came to an end, and Dakdo won his second trophy.
Leaving aside the circle of trainers, at least in the board game world, Darko can be called a legend.
After the second World Championship, the influence and popularity of Ptcg have risen again. The profits of The Pokémon Company continue to be invested in children's charity and Pokémon business, and have been unanimously praised by the industry and the outside world.
In addition, the next round of matches for the World Championship was announced, causing a stir.
The location is Galar's most prestigious arena, the Palace Gate Arena.
One of the two opponents in the battle is the legendary trainer, Mr. Lu.
The other one is none other than Chibana, one of the eight masters!
Although Lu Ye is currently ranked 27th, no one will question his strength.
Previously, Chibana, who was unanimously favored to achieve a higher ranking, is now seeing his support rate drop rapidly.
"I feel like Chibana's seat will be taken by Qinglu or Mr. Lu."
"Be optimistic. It's possible that we will fall out of the top ten."
"Hit Chibana? Isn't that like hitting a baby?"
After attending the closing ceremony, Lu Ye packed his luggage, left Miare City, and returned to Galar again.
The difference is that there is an extra dream ball on the waist, in which Darkrai lives.
Palace Gate City, Lodz Building.
The top of the tower soars into the clouds, and the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor reflects the faces of Emperor Dan and President Ross.
"Chibana is going to fight Mr. Lu?"
"Yes." Roz pulled the little curly hair, "Fighting against the strong is also the wish of the Kibana gym leader."
"That's right." Dandi sighed a little, staring at the dark clouds outside the window, his eyes suddenly fixed, "On the day of the total solar eclipse, is that Pokémon sure to come?"
"Even if He doesn't show up, as this concerns the entire Galar, we must be prepared for battle."
Roz said in a serious tone, "Also, the battle between Lu Ye and Chibana cannot be stopped, otherwise the losses will be serious... The alliance finances can no longer afford it."
"I understand." Dandi's eyes were blazing. "When they fight... I will stop them, Wuji Taina."
Roz turned his head, looked at the champion, and smiled: "Dan Di... I have a decision I want to tell you."
"What?"
"Next month, I will submit my resignation to the alliance and transfer the position of president to you."
The Dan Emperor was startled and his cloak rustled.
Ross pointed his finger in front of his lips, his smile slightly tired: "Managing the entire Marrokomon Group alone, I am already tired and overwhelmed... I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will make a decision that will cause Galar to decline."
"And you, Galar's never-ending champion, will bring Galar a better future."
"Just like Zfuchi Daigo who transferred the championship to Mikoli."
President Luo Zi pulled the little girl's hair and said gently, "I hope that we will still be friends in the future, Dan Di."
Dandi's eyes flickered as he looked at his long-time comrade-in-arms.
Like Ross, he is an idealist who wants to carry Galar forward on his own.
"Loz, I will not approve your resignation."
The Dan Emperor wore a peaked cap, his cape was covered with advertisements, and his golden eyes were like the burning sun.
"I will defeat Wuji Taina myself."
