Chapter 881 874: Mamoswine's First Battle

"The battle is about to begin. What will his first Pokémon be?"

Seeing the Poké Ball in Ethan's hand open, Captain Daniel and the others began to feel anticipation.

According to the information they had, the strongest Pokémon Ethan currently possessed should be that Lucario.

Besides that, he also had Melmetal and Charizard, two Pokémon whose strength had already reached the Elite level.

Thinking of this, their expressions became somewhat serious.

Three Elite-level Pokémon. Just looking at his strength on paper, Ethan already had the ability to aspire to the Elite level.

Moreover, it had to be mentioned that the Professional-level battles on the Champion Road were carried out in a 2-on-2 format.

The Quasi-Elite-level battles were carried out in a 3-on-3 format, and starting from the Elite level, they became 6-on-6.

In addition, when entering the Champion Road, one could only bring six Pokémon.

Once the challenge began, one could only move forward.

If the challenge failed or if one abandoned the Champion Road, then one could only challenge again from the beginning.

This, to a certain extent, also tested the Trainer's team configuration. Recovery Pokémon, for example, could practically be considered indispensable within the team.

Under these circumstances, the strength of every Pokémon Ethan sent out was of vital importance. To a certain extent, it would determine how far he could go.

"Go, Mamoswine!"

On the first floor of the Illusory Tower, Ethan released his Pokémon.

Accompanied by a radiance, Mamoswine's enormous body appeared.

"What Pokémon is that?"

At that moment, in front of the Champion Road battle platform, some spectators happened to see Ethan's battle.

Seeing that Pokémon that had never appeared before on the field, all those spectators were very surprised.

If one did not know, one asked others.

As those spectators called their friends, more and more people began watching Ethan's battle.

"From its appearance, it looks a little similar to Piloswine."

Some spectators with the identity of Pokémon researchers, after observing Mamoswine's appearance, made a guess.

"Another new form of Pokémon. If it weren't for this battle, I would have almost forgotten that Ethan is actually also a Pokémon Professor."

Daniel could not help but rub his head. This junior student of his was truly growing far too fast!

"Alright, I've already released my Pokémon. Use the illusion to create my opponent."

After releasing Mamoswine, Ethan looked toward the human figure opposite him.

At that moment, that figure was wrapped in a faint layer of mist, making it impossible to distinguish its appearance.

It was only an illusory shadow condensed by Misdreavus, and it had not yet transformed into a true illusory Trainer.

Now, seeing that Ethan had already released his Pokémon, the mist enveloping the human figure on the other side also began to slowly dissipate.

Very soon, the figure of a young man appeared on the field, and the most eye-catching thing was naturally the university uniform he wore.

"It's the uniform of Daleron Imperial Pokémon University!"

"The illusory Trainer Misdreavus has transformed into this time is a previous challenger from Daleron Imperial Pokémon University!"

Seeing this, some spectators spoke.

The so-called illusory Trainers naturally could not appear out of thin air.

All those illusory Trainers were transformations that Misdreavus imitated from its memories of Trainers it had battled against.

If possible, Misdreavus could also copy Ethan's information, turning him into an illusory Trainer.

Currently, the illusory Trainers created by the Elite-level and Champion-level Misdreavus were all famous great figures within the League.

"Come out, Magmar."

A grave voice sounded and, accompanied by a white light, Magmar, with its entire body bathed in flames, appeared on the field.

After making a preliminary judgment on Mamoswine's attributes, Misdreavus chose a Fire-type Pokémon, which countered the Ice type, to battle.

In the Champion Road challenges, the challenger released their Pokémon first and, at the same time, had to face the type advantage chosen by the opponent.

"The first move is mine. Mamoswine, use Ancient Power!"

After Magmar appeared, Ethan spoke directly.

With a low roar, Mamoswine condensed Rock-type energy all over its body.

A huge rock quickly formed and was thrown directly at Magmar.

Seeing this, Magmar's fist shone with white light. Fighting-type energy wrapped around it, and it threw a punch.

Boom!

The huge rock in the air was shattered under Magmar's fist.

"Continue, Ancient Power."

Hearing Ethan's words, Mamoswine understood.

The Ancient Power move activated again, and the fragmented rocks in the air suddenly began to shine.

Immediately after, all those broken rocks gathered around Magmar, directly sealing it inside the stone!

"Final blow, Ancient Power."

Seeing this, Ethan smiled slightly.

Afterward, the rocks enveloping Magmar suddenly began to shine. A terrifying energy surged, and everything exploded.

Among the waves of the explosion, Magmar's figure fell to the ground, directly losing the ability to battle.

"That Pokémon is also Professional level, right?"

"At equal level, defeating the opponent in three moves... That Pokémon is very well trained."

Seeing the image on the screen disappear, the spectators also understood the result of the battle and spoke with surprise.

"Good work, Mamoswine."

Ethan also smiled at the Mamoswine in front of him.

After so much training, Mamoswine's Ancient Power move was truly very strong.

In the battle just now, Mamoswine's Ancient Power move had shown three abilities.

The first was condensing rocks; the second, controlling the rocks; and the third, transforming the Ancient Power move into powerful energy to attack the opponent.

These three abilities had also been shown in the anime, and Ethan had used them as a basis to summarize three methods of using the Ancient Power move, forming a combo that displayed very powerful strength.

"My second Pokémon is this."

The illusory Trainer opposite him remained silent for a moment and then threw another Poké Ball.

Then a Camerupt appeared. Lava constantly flowed down its back, giving off an astonishing temperature.

"Keep using Ancient Power!"

Ethan did not change his order at all.

Mamoswine raised one foot and struck the ground forcefully. Immediately, a large number of rocks were condensed and launched at the Camerupt on the other side.

"Use Flamethrower!"

The Camerupt opposite began to display its power. A blaze containing a terrifying temperature swept across the field.

In midair, the two attacks collided. A large number of rocks were directly melted by the fire, turning into magma that dripped onto the ground with a sizzling sound, even melting part of the terrain.
