Chapter 573: A Limit That Doesn't Belong to This Era
After just a few breaths of combat, the situation on the battlefield was completely different!
From the moment Arthur engaged the three Pokémon blocking Future Yuzuru's backline, the exclamations from the surroundings had barely ceased.
If Future Yuzuru's lightsaber and button bombs showed the charm of new-era technology, the domineering pay-to-win style of the wealthy, and the power of money!
Then Arthur's brutal breakthrough showed everyone an ultimate martial prowess that didn't belong to this era at all!
With the change in warfare philosophy brought about by technological innovation, it was almost impossible to see anyone exploring the combat potential of the human body with such madness, extremity, and desperation as Arthur in this day and age.
Because guns were indeed more effective most of the time.
And even if there were still crazy and talented human martial artists like Arthur in this era, they couldn't possibly possess combat experience comparable to his.
So his existence itself represented a limit!
A limit that didn't belong to this era!
When had these trainers, born in a peaceful era, ever seen such a battle?
Their jaws dropped, and they were dumbfounded.
Especially when they saw Arthur continuously slide-step and change direction, narrowly dodging Carbink's Stone Edge by millimeters each time, the hearts of these spectators beat faster than Arthur's, the actual combatant!
"Holy crap?! He dodged it?! He really dodged it!! All grazing shots! Not a single stone hit him! Are those really human movements?!!"
"Within five meters, dodging an ultimate move like Stone Edge purely with his body, without Pokémon assistance! My god!! Mom, come see a god!"
"Damn... are all Kubfu trainers monsters?!"
The person facing off against Forrest was also so shocked he could hardly speak, his gaze darting back and forth between Arthur in the combat circle and Forrest beside him with a Slowpoke-like expression.
Making Forrest feel creepy—Don't look at me! How could every Kubfu trainer be such a monster? I'm not, I haven't, don't imagine things!
After dodging the attack, Arthur held his sword with both hands again, blade leveled, preparing for a thrust.
"Doublade, Iron Head!"
Steel-type move: Iron Head!
This was currently the only Steel-type STAB move Doublade knew.
Doublade was a strange Pokémon. It excelled at slashing moves like the Normal-type Slash, the Bug-type Fury Cutter, and the Fighting-type Sacred Sword, but knew very few Ghost-type and Steel-type STAB moves.
Iron Head was currently the only decent STAB attack move Doublade could use.
For Doublade, the tip of the sword was its head.
So Iron Head was essentially a thrust!
A point of cold light arrives first!
Then the sword thrusts like a rainbow!
Carbink's Rock/Fairy typing was doubly weak to Steel!
Although this diamond Pokémon was hard, very hard, extremely hard, in this moment, Arthur fearlessly challenged it!
This made Future Yuzuru, not far away, feel a rare sense of panic and fear.
Since capturing this Carbink, a former Legendary Seed, by chance a few years ago, Future Yuzuru had never doubted like this—unsure if Carbink could block the incoming attack!
In the past, no matter how tricky the enemy in the arena, she had never doubted this...
This was even after Carbink had already buffed its defense twice with Diamond Storm!
Doublade's Iron Head wasn't inherently that terrifying.
But after Arthur gripped the sword, it seemed everyone's hearts were suspended in an instant!
"Hold on, Carbink!"
Future Yuzuru stopped her actions for the first time, focusing her mind to cheer Carbink on.
The surrounding onlookers also held their breaths, not daring to exhale.
Swish!
Arthur's thrust launched!
The blade flashed with dazzling metallic luster!
Carbink was currently on cooldown from just using Stone Edge and could only choose to tank it with its body.
In the past, Carbink had never doubted its hardness and defense.
It was a Pokémon personally blessed by the previous Jewel Princess Diancie!
But in this moment, as the sword tip approached like a meteor, it rarely panicked.
The opponent shouldn't be able to break my defense...
Right?
Bang!
Crack!
The result was revealed quickly—
After the thrust, Arthur released the hilt, quietly hiding his numb hands behind his back to prevent anyone from seeing them trembling uncontrollably.
This Carbink is really hard!!
If he hadn't suppressed Milotic first and had the little dragonfly help guard against Umbreon, any interference might have really prevented him from cutting this big diamond.
But fortunately, most eyes weren't on his hands right now.
But on Carbink, who was sent flying by this blow!
Everyone heard the crack in mid-air clearly!
"Oh my god!!"
Trainers familiar with Future Yuzuru's Carbink exclaimed.
Tanking this Iron Head—Carbink really cracked!
Although it was only a small crack and didn't spread to the whole body.
But this was still an astonishing feat that no one in the entire Sakura Alliance had achieved in the whole professional league this year!
Before this, the consensus in the entire Sakura Alliance was—facing Future Yuzuru's Carbink, one could only stall, exploiting its lack of offense. Injuring it was unrealistic.
But today, the consensus was broken!
At the same time, the little dragonfly easily suppressed Umbreon, pinning it under her claws, unable to move.
Umbreon was also a tenacious Pokémon with excellent energy defense. The little dragonfly couldn't knock it out or defeat it quickly, but suppression was achievable.
The opponent couldn't make any waves in her hands.
Meanwhile, Greninja's dual blades were also at Blissey's neck.
This battle of cutting the backline didn't last long, and it seemed to end in Arthur's complete victory.
Future Yuzuru gritted her teeth, her face full of unwillingness.
She spent a fortune and gained an excellent first move.
But after Arthur truly exerted his strength, the desperate gap was laid bare before her.
True, she was indeed very adapted to real combat.
But unfortunately, she was now facing the strongest human authority in the field of real combat, spanning over two hundred years!
Arthur's sword had even cut down Groudon, let alone her three Pokémon.
At this moment, the only one on the field who still looked impressive was probably Future Yuzuru's ace Arcanine, who had appeared at the very beginning.
With full buffs and double item support, Arcanine was truly fierce right now.
Seeing this, Arthur turned back, looked at Future Yuzuru, and took the initiative.
"Release my Eevee and Lapras, and we can have one final Pokémon duel.
"In real combat, you can't beat me."
