He knows Pokémon better than me.

In the Mechanical Arena, Xiaozhi sat in the front row of the spectator seats behind the challengers. There was a circle of transparent parasols around several seats, highlighting the significance of the "Friends and Family Seat".

“It’s very popular.”

Xiaozhi looked around and found that about 6% of the audience were cheering for Marie, making her more popular than the gym owner.

Is it the appearance? Or is it the credit of the Shouting Team?

It seems that in the minds of many Galar people, Marie is a newcomer who has a good chance of collecting eight badges this year and then achieving good results in the Champions Cup.

The back of the seats for relatives and friends were occupied by three rows of members of the cheering team. They were all wearing spiked jackets and had strange hairstyles dyed purple.

The game hasn't started yet, so they can only focus all their hateful attention on Xiaozhi in the front row.

"Damn it, one person is occupying the seat for Miss Mary's relatives and friends!"

"Are you really together with the young lady? I won't agree to it!!"

"I really want to go up and beat him up!"

The Shouting Team was so angry that their teeth were itching. Some of them were even rubbing their hands, wishing they could have a fight with Xiaozhi right away.

"No one moves! Today we are here to cheer for Miss Mary, don't do anything that might discredit her!"

At this time, a burly man with a nail-like haircut sitting in the middle shouted coldly, stopping the actions of the shouting team.

He crossed his arms over his chest, staring intently at the back of Xiaozhi's head, and tried hard to suppress his anger.

His cool look and impressive pressure immediately drew cheers from all the members of the surrounding cheering team.

"As expected of Omega Boss!"

"The No. 1 leader in the Shouting Team, a master ranked 789th in the Super Ball level!"

"Is Boss Omega going to teach that brat a lesson himself?!"

The tough guy called Omega Boss was about eighteen years old. He said nothing, just stared at Xiaozhi coldly.

I heard from Trumpet Ghost and Prince Soprano that this outsider is also challenging the World Championship. He is currently only at the Poké Ball level.
"Humph, hurry up and climb up to the Super Ball level. Then I will let you see the true strength of the Shout Team!"

Boss Omega snorted.

They are the cheering team, not just Mary’s fan club!

"."

Feeling a little scared by the staring at the back of his head, Xiaozhi turned around subconsciously and found a group of Shouting Team staring at him hungrily, led by a stubborn young man.

Looks very cold, if
If you're not wearing a Mary printed shirt.

Xiaozhi: "."

Dressed in street punk style, with weird spikes in her hair, a cold and arrogant face, and finally with a cute girlish print on the chest, the combination is quite eye-catching.

This should be the number one fan of Mary’s fan club, right?
Before I had time to look any further, warm cheers suddenly rang out from the venue, and both teams had already stepped onto the green field.

On one side was Mari, who walked to the center of the arena with a stern face. Her cute face and cool demeanor made her quite popular in the Galar region.

On the other side was a thin uncle with short gray hair. He looked very serious and was wearing a red competitive uniform with flame elements.

"The Mecha Arena Challenge has officially begun. Each side can use two Pokémon!" A drone Rotom flew between the two people and recited the rules. The sound spread through the surround speakers in the venue.

"Then, let the game begin!"

After saying that, the two of them threw out Poké Balls at the same time. Kawu, as a gym leader specializing in fire attribute, started with a Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Fox meow~"

As soon as it appeared on the stage, the Nine-Tailed Fox let out a long cry towards the sky, triggering the "sunshine" feature and allowing the sky above the venue to be illuminated by strong sunlight.

Mary's first attack is a poisonous frog, which is ready to attack at any time, with the venom sac in its lower jaw constantly rising and falling.

The battle started, Nine-Tailed Fox was the first to spit out scorching flames, forming a large character of explosion and roaring. Under the sunny sky, the temperature of the entire arena began to rise.

The poisonous skull frog on the other side ran around the field at high speed, avoiding the low-hitting large character explosion. At the same time, its blood-red poisonous stinger-like middle finger was attached with purple light and rushed straight towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Poison attack! !
"Oh, the quality of the duel is quite high~!"

Sitting in the front row, Xiaozhi watched with great interest.

Generally speaking, gym leaders will adjust their response level according to the level of the challenger, but this time the one who came up was the Sunlight Characteristic Nine-Tails, so it was obvious that he was serious.

However, Mary's poisonous skull frog is not dry-type.

When attacked by water-attribute moves or on rainy days, the player's physical strength will be restored. However, when facing fire moves or on sunny days, the player will suffer double damage due to dry and cracked skin.

Therefore, he is not restrained by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

On the contrary, due to the "poison hand" characteristic of the Poison Skull Frog, all physical moves have a chance to put the target into a poisoned state.

Whoops! !
A sudden attack with a fighting-attribute cross slash knocked the Nine-Tailed Fox back sideways, and the latter's golden hair was stained with a hint of purple. The Nine-Tailed Fox was in a state of poisoning.

The fight lasted seven or eight rounds, with both sides fighting back and forth.

In the end, Toxic Skull Frog endured the damage from the flames, and when the firepower was reduced at the end of the sunny day, it finally defeated the Nine-Tailed Fox, which drew cheers from the audience.

“It’s really black technology!”

Xiaozhi was sitting in the spectator seat right behind Mary. The Nine-Tails's large character Explosion of Flame flew into the air and came roaring, but was blocked by the Ghost Sword barrier less than three meters in front of him.

It felt like a huge explosion of fire exploded on his face!
It turns out that this kind of black technology should be installed at home!

On the green field, the battle continues. The second Pokémon of Gym Leader Kawu is a three-meter-long giant centipede with a flat red body and a coiled upper body. Four forked flames are burning outward from its face and tail.

Xiaozhi quickly took out the illustrated guide and found that this giant centipede should be the evolved form of the Fire Centipede he had seen before.

"Beep! The Fire Centipede, fire + insect attribute, is the evolved form of the Fire Centipede. Its body is extremely hot. Not only can it blow out a breath of heat, but it can also use the flames like a whip to lash its opponent, Lotor~!"

Xiaozhi nodded and used Physical Attack towards the Vulcan Moth that was crawling on the ground.

Seeing this, Mary thought for a moment, temporarily put away the poisonous frog, and took out a luxury ball.

But she did not throw it away immediately, but suddenly clicked the giant wristband on her wrist.

bass!
The wristband lit up with a dazzling light, and the luxurious ball in Mary's hand quickly expanded to the size of a basketball. After Mary raised it above her head, she threw it out with both hands!
She is not like other Galars who only use Gigantamax when the battle reaches its climax or when she is at her limit.

This power must be used vigorously from the beginning!
The luxury ball is turned on, and as a Pokémon as tall as a mountain appears in front of them, the atmosphere of the Mecha Arena is completely ignited! (End of this chapter)
