Chapter 280: Chapter 280: I Will Always Believe In Hakamo-o!

A/N:8/9 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

Under Julian’s perception, Totem Kommo-o’s aura was vast, even surpassing Cynthia’s Garchomp.

But Julian believed in Hakamo-o!

Strength on paper did not represent Totem Kommo-o’s actual strength.

It felt heavy and settled, unlike those who have been through constant battle.

This was Totem Kommo-o’s greatest weakness.

Julian had no doubt that Totem Kommo-o could only bring out half of that strength.

Totem Kommo-o had asked whether Hakamo-o was afraid of him.

Julian instead wanted to ask whether Totem Kommo-o was afraid of him and Hakamo-o!

Totem Kommo-o growled, then turned and led Hakamo-o towards an open area to battle.

As the Totem, Kommo-o naturally would not destroy the forest environment while fighting.

He had an open space specifically used to test human Trainers who came to challenge him.

The four Hakamo-o were left where they were.

Trumbeak, Decidueye, and the two Cacturne all went to watch the battle.

Before they even reached the clearing, Totem Kommo-o let out a loud roar.

Soon, dense dragon roars came from all around, responding to his summons.

By the time Julian and the others arrived at the clearing used for island challenges, six Hakamo-o and more than twenty Jangmo-o were already waiting there.

There was not a single Kommo-o among them. They had probably all left their parents and gone out to carve out territories of their own.

Hakamo-o and Totem Kommo-o stood facing each other.

Totem Kommo-o’s tail made a crisp ringing sound. The pressure he released made all the Jangmo-o hold their breath and watch carefully.

Hakamo-o, however, was completely unmoved. Instead, he released a loud battle cry!

Totem Kommo-o wanted to intimidate him by ringing the scales on his tail.

Hakamo-o could only say that Totem Kommo-o had chosen the wrong dragon!

The battle cry fell on Totem Kommo-o, but the effect of lowering his Attack was minimal.

Totem Kommo-o also chose to return a battle cry.

Hakamo-o’s Attack, however, was clearly weakened by that one.

Julian calmly gave the command.

"Hakamo-o, use Dragon Dance!"

The weakened Attack was directly raised back with Dragon Dance!

Totem Kommo-o was not going to stand there quietly and watch Hakamo-o strengthen himself.

He raised his claws and charged straight at Hakamo-o.

"Dragon Claw!"

Unexpectedly, Hakamo-o twisted his body flexibly to dodge, and he continued using Dragon Dance to increase his Attack!

The surrounding Hakamo-o and Jangmo-o watching the battle were directly stunned.

Living in the deep wilderness of Poni Canyon, when had they ever seen something like this?

Cynthia smiled knowingly.

There it is!

Hakamo-o’s Dragon Dance evasion.

Although Cynthia had also tried to make Garchomp learn to dodge using Dragon Dance after Garchomp learned the move, maintaining the strengthening effect of Dragon Dance on Attack and Speed while evading attacks was even harder than she had imagined.

This required talent.

It was not something anyone could do just because they wanted to.

Totem Kommo-o refused to believe it and once again swung his claws at Hakamo-o.

But Hakamo-o was like a slippery eel, always slipping out from Totem Kommo-o’s grasp.

After several attempts, Totem Kommo-o’s anger began to rise.

He directly shook the dragon scales across his body and released a powerful soundwave.

Clanging Scales!

An attack move only Kommo-o could master.

Blue light appeared in Julian’s eyes.

"Protect!"

Hakamo-o immediately opened a green barrier and was pushed several metres backwards by Clanging Scales.

But!

Protect did not break!

Julian scanned Totem Kommo-o and discovered that he had not lowered his defence because of using Clanging Scales.

He did not know whether this was the result of Totem Kommo-o’s special training, or whether his abundant energy had offset the side effect of Clanging Scales.

Cynthia frowned slightly as she looked at the Hakamo-o and Jangmo-o that had also been affected by Clanging Scales.

"Julian, Totem Kommo-o’s control over his moves isn’t great. That may be his weakness."

Of course it was his weakness!

Insufficient training and arrogant pride.

Totem Kommo-o was already a product of the old era.

There was no place for him in this age!

The power in Totem Kommo-o’s body was very much like strength gained by eating Rare Candies or similar items that could directly increase power.

It was even purer than the Dragon-type energy essence Julian had once given Hakamo-o.

Seeing that Clanging Scales had no effect, Totem Kommo-o opened his mouth and spat out a purple Dragon Pulse.

Julian waved his hand.

"Dodge!"

Hakamo-o kicked off the ground and moved with agile bursts to the left and right.

He dodged the three consecutive Dragon Pulse blasts Totem Kommo-o fired.

"Now! Dragon Claw!"

The opening Totem Kommo-o left was not large.

Hakamo-o only had time to slash Totem Kommo-o hard across the side of his waist before he had to pull away again.

Because Totem Kommo-o’s tail had already swept over.

His enormous body gave Totem Kommo-o an extremely wide attack range.

And there were no blind spots!

It was just that his attack speed was relatively slow.

After stopping at a distance from Totem Kommo-o, a metallic sheen flashed across Hakamo-o’s body, and he once again used Autotomize.

He temporarily reduced the weight of his scales and increased his movement speed.

Totem Kommo-o lowered his body and charged towards Hakamo-o.

His two claws bloomed with dense purple light.

But then he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out Dragon Breath.

"Dodge quickly!"

With such dazzling light on his Dragon Claw, Julian had already felt that Totem Kommo-o was trying to shift Hakamo-o’s attention.

Sure enough, in order to catch the agile Hakamo-o, Totem Kommo-o had chosen to use a small trick.

With Julian’s warning, Hakamo-o was prepared in advance.

But he did not dodge!

Instead, brilliant purple light burst across his entire body. He passed beneath Dragon Breath and charged straight into Totem Kommo-o’s centre line.

His two claws attacked furiously at the weaker parts of Totem Kommo-o’s scales.

Totem Kommo-o immediately let out a painful roar.

Enduring the pain, Totem Kommo-o stomped hard.

Waves of earth-yellow ground shockwaves erupted, directly blasting Hakamo-o away.

Halfway through Hakamo-o’s flight, Totem Kommo-o swung Dragon Claw and slammed Hakamo-o to the ground.

Then he stretched his tail over and began shaking it wildly.

Powerful waves of energy gathered, then were suddenly released.

Clanging Scales!

Hakamo-o immediately let out a cry of pain.

Gallade revealed his blades, and white light began to appear.

Annihilape clenched his fists, black-red rage burning over them.

But Julian raised his hand and stopped them.

"I believe in Hakamo-o!"

"Hakamo-o, break through his restraint!"

Aura is with me

Julian poured his Aura into Hakamo-o, who was pinned to the ground.

"All our effort over all these years was for this moment!"

In response to Julian’s heart, Hakamo-o widened his eyes and roared. Even stronger purple light burst from his body.

Dragon energy erupted outwards, directly pushing away Totem Kommo-o’s Dragon Claw.

Totem Kommo-o’s eyes widened.

How could such a young Hakamo-o possess this level of power?
