Chapter 556 The End of Regirock, the Final Battle is Imminent
Chapter 556 The End of Regirock, the Final Battle is Imminent
The deep green energy rapidly gathering on the Lizard King's tail had reached its peak, as if it would overflow at any moment.
Seeing this, Ash suddenly waved his hand, his voice decisive and full of power: "Now! Sceptile! Use Leaf Storm!"
"just!"
The Lizard King let out a low growl, and the twig it was holding swayed slightly.
The next moment, its tail suddenly swept out horizontally.
Countless sharp leaves shimmering with emerald green light erupted like a bursting dam, suddenly forming a massive green storm that instantly engulfed Regirock's body.
Each blade of the Leaf Storm possesses astonishing cutting power, and its power is maximized at such close range.
However, even the Lizard King's full-force Leaf Storm, when it directly impacted Regirock's rock-solid body, only managed to make it slide back a few steps. Regirock reacted quickly after the initial impact, crossing its thick arms made of countless rocks in front of it, forcefully resisting the continuous onslaught of the Leaf Storm.
Countless blades struck its rocky body, producing a dense crackling sound, but they failed to knock it away.
"Rock!"
Regirock let out a deep roar.
Despite the lingering force of the leaf storm, a blinding flash of electricity suddenly erupted between its arms.
Upon seeing this, Darkdo immediately issued the order to retaliate: "Electromagnetic Cannon!"
A powerful electric current rapidly gathered between Regirock's arms, forming a dark yellow energy sphere, which was then shot out towards the Lizard King directly in front of him.
"boom--!!!"
"just--"
The Lizard King had no time to dodge the close-range burst of power. Its entire body was hit squarely by the electromagnetic cannon. With a loud explosion and a scream, the Lizard King was sent flying by the force of the blast.
"Regirock, press your advantage, use Stone Attack!" Darkor commanded without hesitation, attempting to finish off the Lizard King in one fell swoop.
Upon hearing this, Regirock caused several sharp rock spikes to reappear on the ground around it. They quickly coalesced and shot towards the flying Lizard King with a whooshing sound, blocking all possible landing points.
Ahead, sharp rocks surged forth in an attack; behind, a stone wall formed by the rocks that had blocked their path.
All of the Lizard King's escape routes seemed to have been completely blocked.
However, just as the Lizard King's body was about to crash into the massive pile of rocks left behind by the previous rock blockade, a sudden change occurred.
The Lizard King suddenly adjusted its posture in mid-air. Its limbs, which had been somewhat scattered due to the impact, seemed to have acquired an adhesive force the moment they touched one of the boulders, and it firmly clung to the rock surface. It changed from its usual upright posture to a climbing posture with its limbs attached, and nimbly moved and jumped among the jagged rocks, as if it had returned to the time when the Treecko roamed the forest.
"boom--!"
Several sharp stones hurtled towards him, but the Lizard King dodged them all with incredible agility.
Just as Darkroc was about to command Regirock to launch another attack, attempting to suppress the Lizard King's movements with more concentrated firepower, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that a knot woven from emerald green energy had silently appeared at Regirock's feet.
A straw rope knot?!
Almost the instant Darkrod sensed something was wrong, the seemingly inconspicuous knot in the grass rope suddenly tightened. Regirock's heavy body immediately lost its balance, his right leg was pulled hard by the knot, and his entire body tilted uncontrollably forward.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, Regirock slammed heavily onto the hard ground, clearly suffering a severe fall.
However, setting aside the damage caused by the straw rope knot, Dakdo is now anxious about something else entirely.
"Regirock! Stand up!"
With Regirock on the ground, it was like a sitting duck, completely powerless to retaliate against Sceptile.
But by then it was too late.
Just as Regirock was struggling to get up from the ground, a lithe green figure leaped high above it, blocking the sun from shining down on its head and casting a huge shadow over Regirock.
It was the Lizard King.
At this moment, the tip of the Lizard King's long and powerful tail shone with a dazzling light once again.
This time, however, the light was much more intense than before, even faintly revealing a sacred golden light, like the sunlight. A vast and terrifying grass-type energy was rapidly gathering.
"Now, Sceptile!" Ash shouted, "Solar Beam!"
"just--!!!"
The Lizard King let out a clear, resonant roar, and the golden light gathered to its peak at the tip of its tail suddenly burst forth.
Instantly, an incredibly thick and solid golden beam of energy poured out from the Lizard King's tail, heading straight for Regirock, who had not yet fully risen below.
"boom--!!!!!"
The deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire Lily of the Valley Arena.
A terrifying shockwave spread wildly outwards from Regirock, blasting a huge, charred crater into the ground.
Regirock's hard rock body trembled violently under the direct bombardment of the blazing sun, emitting groans of unbearable strain, and sparks even spewed from the cracks in the rock.
Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring everyone's view.
As the intense sunlight gradually faded, the Lizard King's figure swiftly descended from mid-air, and the leaf blades on its arms had somehow regained their emerald green light, gleaming with a chilling aura.
Ash's command rang out again, sealing Regirock's fate: "Final blow, Leaf Blade!"
Upon hearing the sound, the Lizard King swayed and transformed into a green streak, rushing down towards the teetering Regirock in the smoke and dust.
Trembling, Regirock struggled to stand up again, its rock-made arms slightly raised as if in a final act of resistance.
However, a sharp green light flashed by the blade at the same time.
"Snap—!!!"
A dull scraping sound rang out as the Lizard King's blade slashed from top to bottom, leaving clear scratches on Regirock's body.
Regirock's already teetering body could no longer withstand the final blow from the Leaf Blade. The orange-yellow dot of light dimmed, and his entire body crashed backward, slamming heavily onto the ground.
The entire Lily Arena erupted in thunderous cheers.
Upon seeing this, the referee quickly stepped forward and carefully checked Reggie Roke's condition.
A moment later, he raised the flag high in his hand, and his voice clearly resounded throughout the arena: "Regirock is unable to battle! Sceptile King wins!"
......
PS: Almost there! The final battle should be finished in three or four chapters, or maybe more if we want to go into more detail? Anyway, including the extra chapters, I should be able to finish writing by Thursday at the latest.
