The Prism Tower towers into the sky, its glass windows sparkling with reflections. A large number of citizens gather in the central square at the bottom of the tower.
In the center of the field, a Ptg card battle has entered a fierce stage.
One of them, wearing a cloak and flowing gray hair, is Dakdo, known as the 'Beast Man'.
The other one is a well-known lover of Ptg, and the seventh of the Eight Masters, Dragon Master Qibana!
"Crush his Latios EX." Qibana said, "Remove the two fighting energy, Aluminum Steel Dragon V, use metal claws!"
On the holographic field, the aluminum steel dragon with a metal body buzzed with white light and waved out its fierce metal claws.
Latios EX let out a mournful cry, fell to the ground and fell into a state of death, with a "click" and a broken sound.
"Because Latios EX was knocked out of breath, I received two bonus cards."
Qibana's lips curled up:
"With four more bonus cards, victory will be mine!"
Dakoto frowned, and the audience's whispers could be heard in his ears.
"It's actually a V card pack that hasn't been released yet... It's one more environment ahead of Dak."
"Maybe Qibana has cooperated with the Pokémon Company. Teacher Lu himself also uses the V deck."
"You have to believe in Dakdo, the real strong man, he can even rewrite the card draw by himself!"
Dakoto took a deep breath, stared at Qibana, and slowly said:
"Your [Aluminum Dragon V] is very strong... none of the Pokémon in my preparation area can defeat it."
"Huh? It seems that Teacher Lu has already revealed the evolved version of Vmax to you." Qibana grinned, "I only have the ace card of Aluminum Steel Dragon V... but this is the key to my victory!"
"Yeah."
Dakoduo pressed his hand on the back of the next card, with flowing gray hair and a stern look:
"Let you see the bond between me and Darkrai."
"My turn draws cards."
Dakoto suddenly pulled out the next card, his eyes flashed, he quickly patted it down, and said in a serious voice:
"I activate the item card, Master Ball!"
The scene was in an uproar, but a red-purple Master Ball flew into the air, opened with a bang, and received a certain Pokémon in the deck.
"This is," Chibana said in a stunned tone, "the reward for the last Ptg world championship, a card printed by Teacher Lu alone?"
Dakdo did not answer, and said coldly: "The effect of the Master Ball is to search for a Pokémon from your own card library, show it to your opponent and then add it to your hand. And reshuffle the card library, what I chose is"
"[Darkrai GX]!"
The audience was all shocked: "It's coming!"
"At the same time, I will put [Darkrai GX] in the preparation area 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 prepared Pokémon, and throw all the selected Pokémon and attached cards into the discard pile."
Dakto's eyes showed determination: "The Pokémon I sent to the cemetery is Darkrai GX!"
"Send your trump card to the cemetery?" Chibana was startled.
"The round is not over yet, I activate the characteristics of [Darkrai GX] in the graveyard to recover."
Dakdo said in a deep voice:
"During your turn, you can use this feature once when this card is in the discard pile. Place this card into the battle area. After that, select 1 evil energy from the discard pile and attach it to the card. From the graveyard
Come back"
"My Tamashi, Darkrai GX!!"
The light of the blood moon rose in the holographic field, and Darkrai's turbid mist surged and slowly rose. His eyes were cold and he crossed his arms.
"I will place another evil energy." Dakdo said coldly, "My turn is over."
"My turn draws cards!" Qibana said loudly, "Aluminum Steel Dragon, Vmax evolution!!"
Aluminum Steel Dragon Vmax is the latest card of 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 "Tamaxi", its resistance and strength are undoubtedly evident.
The Vmax evolution corresponds to the Sword and Shield Dynamax, while the GX moves correspond to the Sun and Moon Z moves, spanning a large version of the environment.
However, when the aluminum steel dragon Vmax expires, Dakdo can get three bonus cards.
On the holographic field, the size of the aluminum steel dragon V continues to expand, eventually forming a towering metal building. There is still a gap from reality, but in the holographic battle, the sense of oppression is full.
"Your Darkrai GX health bar is only 180, which is even twice as weak. Can you withstand the next blow?" Qibana grinned, "I will attach a fighting energy, and the round is over!"
"You should have forgotten." Dakdo said flatly, "The aluminum steel dragon Vmax is still in a burnt state."
Qibana was slightly startled and said: "So what?"
"Indeed, the resistance of the Aluminum Steel Dragon Vmax is outstanding." Du Keduo looked solemnly, "But I also have a GX move that can only be used once in a game."
"This round I will place another evil energy grid. There are three evil energy grids on the field, so I'm going to use it!"
"I activate Darkrai's GX move, the end of death." Darkrai shouted, "Remove three bars of evil energy. If the opponent's battle Pokémon is in an abnormal state, the Pokémon will be trapped in a gas state.
Absolute state."
"An instant kill that ignores resistance and blood volume?" Qibana's eyes widened, "Hey, this is a fake card, how can it have such a perverted effect."
"This is the bond between me and [Darkrai GX]."
Dakdo had flowing gray hair, stretched out his arms and said:
"Darkrai, the end of death!"
Darkrai quickly flew into the sky and fired a black-red fission ray from his palm, hitting the skyscraper-like aluminum steel dragon Vmax right in the middle.
In a series of explosions, the super giant aluminum steel dragon fell down and broke into pieces!
【Dakdo:3→0】
"I took the last three reward cards." Dakdo said, "I won this battle."
The scene was completely silent, Chibana was in a daze, and the audience had their mouths open.
There was sudden applause from outside the crowd.
Lu Ye sat on Victini's shoulders and applauded:
"Sbarasi, what a wonderful showdown."
Dakto and Qibana's pupils shrank: "Teacher Lu?"
"Both of you are important partners of our company." Lu Ye said happily, "I heard that you are competing here, so I came to take a look."
"The [Aluminum Steel Dragon Vmax] you gave me is not strong, Teacher Lu." Qibana put it in his pocket and curled his lips.
"That's because you don't know how to use it." Lu Ye said, "Or I can have another battle with Dakdo Boy to show you the charm of Vmax evolution."
Dakoto shuddered and immediately declined: "No need."
Last year, Teacher Lu’s [Eevee Heroes] deck left a very deep psychological shadow on Dakdo.
There is still a final to be played next, and Dakdo doesn't want to feel unbalanced.
"That's right." Lu Ye sighed regretfully.
I also want to find Dakdo and try out the newly printed cards.
At present, Ptg has evolved into the most popular and profitable trading card game in the world, and the promotion of Dakdo, Qibana and others is indispensable.
"That's the legendary trainer, Teacher Lu, right?"
"It's clearly President Rikuno!"
Before the media arrived after hearing the news, Teacher Lu invited Dakoto and Chibana to the coffee shop.
"Why are you coming to compete?" Lu Ye asked.
Qibana shrugged and took a sip of coffee: "The affairs of Galar are handled by Emperor Dan, and the Quanguan City Arena is under maintenance again, so I went out for a trip."
As an Internet celebrity, Chibana has a strong interest in social selfies, trendy games, etc.
Of course, since he has never won a battle with Dandi, there will be a lot of complaints under every post of Qibana.
"There hasn't been anything big happening in Galar recently, right?" Lu Ye thought, thinking of what Dr. Masaki called a 'special incident'.
"Big deal?" Chibana scratched his headscarf, "There will be a total solar eclipse in Quanguan City in the near future. Do you want to come and see it? The observatory has already forecast it in advance."
Lu Ye was suddenly startled.
What kind of total solar eclipse is this?
Once for Arceus, once for Necrozma, 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 swayed faintly.
Darkrai folded his arms and floated behind him in a shadow state, squinting at Lu Ye with a speechless expression.
When you say this, do you believe it yourself?
"Ah, senior..."
Darkrai, who was like a spirit behind Dakdo, also saw Darkrai in Luye, and his eyes widened in shock:
"Did you enter the elf ball too..."
"Yes." Darkrai nodded generously, "At least the food and treatment are good. Here, I'll give you a taste."
Darkrai stretched out his claws and threw a golden cube to the opponent.
Darkrai of Dakoto thanked him politely, took it into his mouth, and burst into tears in an instant.
"Why are you crying..."
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't tasted energy cubes for a long time."
Darkrai in the coffee shop felt a little emotional and patted the other party on the shoulder.
It's your choice, little nightmare god!
In the courtyard, Latias looked at his haggard brother and proudly crossed his arms: "Latias!"
My stupid Onii-chan.
Now, I am more powerful than you!
Latios looked at his sister and sighed a little.
Generally speaking, among the Shuidu family, the elder brother is more adept at fighting.
However, following Lu Ye, Latias's strength has greatly improved.
The brother and sister reunited, and Latios, as the older brother, felt relieved.
In the front hall.
On the pretext of continuing the challenge, Dakto led Latios and Darkrai to leave first.
This animated character designed based on the real Ptg world champion actually became the Ptg world champion, which can be said to be the end of the world line.
"World Championship, have you been matched for the next match, Teacher Lu?" Qibana said casually.
"Not yet, it has been difficult to make an appointment," Lu Ye said.
"Why don't you..." Qibana's eyes burned brightly, "Fight with me."
Lu Ye was startled and said:
"Are you serious?"
"Of course." Qibana bared his fangs.
Qibana is currently ranked seventh among the Eight Masters, and often challenges a series of strong men such as Dan Emperor and Ma Shide.
It has been Chibana's long-cherished wish to play against a fighting legend.
Lu Ye's eyes narrowed: "So...you are brave?"
Qibana leaned back on the chair, put his feet on the table legs, leaned back, crossed his arms and said with a smile: "How about it? If we fight, the venue will be at the Galar Palace Gate."
"Okay." Lu Ye nodded.
Darkrai has just joined the team and playing against the No. 7 player in the world is not an insult to him.
"besides."
"how?"
"Watch out for the chair."
Before he finished speaking, Chibana lost his balance and fell to the ground: "Ouch!"
Lu Ye lowered his head and saw the little fat man peeking out his head furtively. He first wiped off the shoe prints on the table legs with a rag, and then gave a thumbs up:
"Kou Jie!(??????)??"
…
Two days later, the second Ptg World Championship came to an end, and Dakodo won his second trophy.
Regardless of the trainer circle, at least in the board game world, Dakdo can also be called a legend.
After the second World Series, Ptg's influence and popularity have increased again. The Pokémon Company's profits have continued to be devoted to children's charity and Pokémon causes, and have received unanimous praise from the industry and outside.
In addition, the next round of the World Championship was announced, causing an uproar.
The location is located at the most prestigious arena in Galar, the Palace Gate Arena.
On both sides of the battle, one is the legendary trainer, Teacher Lu.
The other one is Qibana, one of the eight masters!
Although Lu Ye is currently ranked 27th, no one will question his strength.
Previously, Chibana, who was unanimously expected to reach a higher ranking, has seen his support rate drop rapidly.
"It feels like Qibana's seat will be taken by Qinglu or Teacher Lu."
"To be optimistic, it is possible to fall out of the top ten."
"Hit Qibana? Isn't this a spanking of the 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 side of the waist, and Darkrai lives in it.
Gongmen City, Lords Building.
The top of the tower towers into the clouds, and the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor reflects the faces of Emperor Dan and President Roze.
"Qibana wants to fight Teacher Lu?"
"Yes." Roz tugged on his curly hair, "It is also the wish of the owner of Chibana to fight against the strong."
"That's right." Emperor Dan sighed a little, staring at the dark clouds outside the window, his eyes suddenly condensed, "On the day of the total solar eclipse, is that Pokémon sure to come?"
"Even if He doesn't show up, it affects the whole of Galar, so we must be ready for battle."
Roz said solemnly: "Also, the battle between Lu Ye and Qibana cannot be suspended, otherwise the losses will be serious...the alliance's finances can no longer afford it."
"I understand." Emperor Dan's eyes were blazing, "When they are fighting... I will stop them, Wuji Jie."
Roz turned his head, looked at the champion, and smiled slightly: "Emperor Dan...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."
Emperor Dan was startled suddenly, and his cloak rustled.
Roz pointed in front of his lips, smiling slightly tiredly:
"Managing the entire Malokomon Group on my own, I feel tired and unable to do what I do...I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I will make a decision that will cause Galar to decline."
"And you, the never-ending champion of Galar, will bring a better future to Galar."
"It's like Zvoch Daigo who transferred the championship to Mikri."
President Roz tugged on his little hair and said gently:
"I hope that we will still be friends in the future, Emperor Dan."
Emperor Dan's eyes flickered as he looked at this long-standing comrade.
Like Roz, he is an idealist and both want to carry Galar forward on their own.
"Loz, I will not approve your resignation."
Dan Emperor wears a peaked cap, a cloak covered with advertisements, and his golden eyes are like burning suns.
