He knows Pokémon better than me.

Normally, Ash would choose to dodge the sudden attack of sharp rocks.

But now he was facing these two "upper-class nobles," and he shouted directly at them:
"Block it with your iron head!"

This was exactly what Flame Ace was thinking. His head was instantly covered with a layer of metallic silver light, and his whole body shimmered with a steely luster.

Bang Bang Bang!
With a stride forward, Iron Head, a Steel-type move that counters Rock, smashes through all the rocks in its path!

"Beep!"

After landing, Flame Ace wiped the steel bristles from his forehead and grinned smugly at the two of them.

"Damn it, has the Freeman trait turned into a Steel attribute?"

"They're so strong! Our previous training and the drugs must have worked!"

This scene made Syldi and Sord even more furious and resentful.

As descendants of ancient heroes, they occupy a superior position in public opinion.

Sisso Corporation is also the second largest company after the Marocomón Group, so its financial resources are naturally not an issue.

But all of this is just fluff.

The Galar region values ​​Pokémon battles the most, or even the only thing it values!
If you can't achieve top results in the Galar League Conference or the World Championships that have emerged in the last two years, nobody will pay attention to you!

And this young, agile player.
Flame Blade was carefully cultivated by them to achieve results!
Even if they can't defeat Champion Dante, as long as they achieve a good ranking, the two brothers' names will be thoroughly established in the Galar region.

Instead of just being the name of a company, as it is now.

"Damn it! Armored warrior, shoot him down!"

"We must get that Flame Ace back! Sirfly, use Brick Break!"

The two brothers launched another joint attack, and this time they even coordinated their attacks.

Farfetch'd attacks head-on, and its fighting moves are effective against Steel-type moves. However, if Cinderace switches to Flying-type using Bounce to dodge, it will be hit by a knockdown move that is effective against Steel-type moves.

Ash smirked. Did he really think Cinderace could only dodge?
"In that case, I'll attack head-on. Flame Ace, use Swallow Return!!"

Flame Ace immediately charged towards Onion Soldier, and nimbly dodged the attack when Onion Spear swung at him.

boom! !

He then kicked it at the armored warrior. The sudden attack of the "sandbag" startled the armored warrior, who hurriedly retracted his "smash" claws and was then slammed hard into the chest by the Onion Soldier.

"Now! Fireball!!"

Flame Ace used the momentum to prop up a fireball and then launched it with great force.

Boom!
The fireball struck the Onion Warrior head-on, triggering a violent fire explosion that sent the armored warriors behind it flying back several meters.

“Gah.”

As the smoke cleared, the Onion Soldiers were rendered unable to fight, their bodies and onions charred black, emitting a rich aroma of roasted duck with onions.

On the other side, the armored warrior was mostly unharmed, though he also had a charred mark on his chest.

"Beep!"

Flame Ace landed gracefully, with a wisp of flame rising around his feet, looking quite flamboyant.

This duck is far weaker than its companion, Onion Soldier!
"Damn it! It's not over yet!!"

Sord sent the leek back and then threw out another Poké Ball.

"Hey! You fouled!!"

Beside her, Sonia couldn't help but scold.

But it seems like they already committed a foul when it was two against one at the beginning?
However, Sord completely ignored this and was now focused solely on defeating Ash.

boom!
As the red light fell, this time it was a Swordslinger—another Pokémon that combines "sword" and "shield," as if these two upper-class people had some kind of obsessive-compulsive fetish.

As one Pokémon was mercilessly defeated, the two's command rhythm also fell apart, and they became completely uncoordinated.

"Armored Warrior, Water Split!" "Shielded Swordsman! Use the Holy Sword!!"

The next second, they rushed from the left and right sides of the Flame Ace, one side with sharp water blades, and the other side with its main body being a longsword, covered in bright light as it slashed horizontally!

"Be careful!!"

Behind her, Sonia exclaimed in surprise, ready to release her Pokémon to join the battle at any moment.

However, Xiao Zhi just chuckled, his expression unchanged:

"Use a smokescreen!"

Cinderace also showed the same smile as Ash, and suddenly kicked out a peat ball, which exploded halfway through its flight, turning into a thick black mist that enveloped the entire field.

In an instant, both the armored warrior and the shield-wielding swordsman lost their target and stood frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.

However, for Ash, who can use the power of aura, there is no problem with his vision.

The waveguide sensing was synchronized with the Flame Ace, which instantly understood the location of both.

He darted to the vicinity of the Shielded Sword Monster, kicked a pebble, and accurately struck the armored warrior.

“Drink!!!”

Hearing the commotion from the side, the armored warrior's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he raised the Water Crack Blade and slashed at it.

Before the Shielded Sword Monster could react, it saw a sharp blue slash coming from the mist.

Clang!
It instinctively raised its shield to block, producing a metallic clang, while its body transformed into a holy sword and slashed out horizontally.

"What happened?!"

"Hey! You two, calm down right now!!"

Soder and Syldi also calmed down immediately, but their commands were no longer meaningful.

Whoosh! Clang! Whoosh!

The specific location of the Pokémon could not be seen in the fog; only a few sharp sword flashes could be seen intermittently.

"Continue using the smoke screen!"

The troublemaker, Flame Ace, kept kicking out black balls from the edge, increasing the surrounding black mist.

No matter how the Holy Sword and the Water Stream Crack slashed, the mist only became thicker!
The smoke screen gradually dissipated after several rounds.

"Fully armored." "Sword and shield."

Both the armored warrior and the shield-wielding swordsman were exhausted, panting heavily on the spot, their bodies covered with slash wounds.

Indeed, Sord and Hilde have spent a lot of money training them, so both Pokémon have extremely strong attack power, leaving terrible marks on each other.

"Damn it! Such a despicable fighting style!"

"This is outrageous!! Can't we just have a fair and just fight on the sidelines?!"

The two immediately berated Xiaozhi, their words causing Xiaozhi to frown deeply.

They've reversed the Heavenly Gang.

You're two against one, how can you still say something like that?!
However, seeing Cinderace's expression gradually calm down after his initial excitement and smugness, Ash also composed himself.
It is enough.

So he walked up to Cinderace and said formally:

"The Flame Ace has nothing to do with you anymore. Its ability to become as powerful as it is also not related to you in any way, well, only a little bit."

After thinking about it, I realized that the characteristics of free agents are indeed related.

"If you continue to harass Flame Ace, this is what will happen!"

Xiao Zhi's voice became unusually forceful, carrying a hint of threat:

"Use fireballs! Take them all out in one go!!" (End of Chapter)
