He knows Pokémon better than me.

However, Cinderace's best moves are not Flame Kick, but various ball-based moves.

"Fireball!!"

He hurled a fiery pebble with tremendous force, even more powerful than a fiery kick!

"Get out of the way! Then use the water jet!!"

Tundra Bear's "Snowplow" ability was still active, so it quickly pounced to the right to dodge. The moment it landed, water swirled around its body, and it charged towards Cinderace from another direction.

You must aim for the opening when the opponent's Free Agent switches to Fire attribute to land a critical hit!
It also knows high-speed preemptive moves, like Cinderace.

Whoosh!

Clad in white light, it darted out at lightning speed, narrowly avoiding the tundra bear's water jets.

The lightning flashed and then a sweeping kick landed on the snow, sending snowflakes flying.

The relatively weak snow made the tundra bears subconsciously lower their guard.

Whoosh—!
However, in the next instant, a stone ball burning with scorching flames shot out from the snow at a tricky angle and exploded in the chest of the tundra bear.

Outstanding effect!

The fireball's attack caused the Tundra Bear's stamina to plummet, and one of its knees was forced to kneel on the ground.

Unable to maintain its "four-legged mode," even though it's still snowing, the tundra bear's "snow-clearing" ability has been successfully broken, resulting in a significant decrease in its agility.

"One more time, Fireball!!"

Snowy weather doesn't weaken the power of fire-attribute moves. Cinderace juggles the ball twice in a row, igniting pebbles on his toes, and finally shoots out like a fireball!

You can't dodge it!

"Water Ripple!!"

With no other option, the Tundra Bear could only forcefully condense a water bullet and throw it out in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

However, Ursaring is not a Water-type Pokémon, and Water Pulse is generally not very powerful, nor is it good at Special Attacks.

Puff-!
The water ball and the fireball collided, and the stalemate lasted almost as long. The water wave burst open and fell as water droplets, while the fireball struck the tundra bear's chest with unstoppable force and exploded with a bang.

Outstanding effect!

As the smoke and fire dissipated, the massive tundra bear collapsed to the ground with a thud, its eyes darting around.

"The tundra bear is incapacitated!"

The Rotom drone immediately issued a warning, causing an uproar among those around it.

What a clever rabbit!

Why is everyone using the Galar starter Pokémon, but my Cinderace feels fake?

Jana recalled the tundra bear, and her expression immediately turned serious—

Her trump card is the Snow Moth, but its Ice + Insect attribute combination is four times weak to Fire.
If the opponent is a Special Attacker Pokémon, Felmesh's ability might give it a chance to fight back.

But both Flame Kick and Flame Ball are physical attacks, which are very difficult to deal with!
If we were to use other Pokémon, their levels would be far too low compared to Cinderace.
Both situations are doomed to fail!

Noticing his opponent's expression, Cinderace frowned and turned to look at his trainer with a sigh.

Xiao Zhi understood immediately and nodded.

"cowry"

Seeing this, Blazing Ace relaxed his body, suppressed the fiery fighting spirit in his eyes, and abruptly walked to the side.

He walked through the crowd, then leaped onto the roof of a building, sat cross-legged, and acted as if it were none of his business.

The onlookers were stunned. What was the rabbit up to?

However, the drone Rotom has corresponding criteria for judging this behavior, and immediately declared:
"Flash Ace has lost its will to fight!" Losing the ability to fight is fainting, while losing the will to fight is actively giving up the fight.
Both are equivalent to that Pokémon and cannot continue battling.

This scene left Jana stunned, and she looked at Ash in bewilderment:

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Zhi touched his nose, not finding anything wrong with it.
"Hehe, mainly I want to have a battle with your snow moth!"

The ranking can be improved whenever it wants.

However, it's rare to encounter a Pokémon you've never seen before. If your opponent loses all fighting spirit and chooses to send out other Pokémon, or even forfeits, it's a bad opportunity.
That would be boring.

Moreover, the audience and readers around him love watching battles, so why would he want to spoil the fun?

Although she silently cursed Ash as a "madman" in her heart, Kana's eyes brightened again when she realized that she still had a chance to win today.

"Snowflakes~!"

The snow moth beside her flapped its wings and gracefully flew to one side of the battlefield.

What a stroke of luck! Even without that rabbit, we still have a chance to qualify for the promotion tournament today!
"Beep beep! Snowflake, Ice + Bug type, the evolved form of Snowflake. When it flies over the mountains, its icy scales fall like snowflakes, and it punishes those who damage the snow mountains, Loto, with a blizzard!"

Rotom prompted automatically.

Ash now has an extra Poké Ball in his hand, since his opponent is Mothorki.
"It's you I choose, Butterfly!!"

He dispatched the handsome general from the Kanto region!
When the pink Butterfree appeared, gasps of surprise erupted from all around. The rarity of a Shiny Pokémon is definitely no less than that of Frostwolf!
Since the Butterfly is not a native butterfly, the Galatians cannot distinguish between the "flashing" and "mutant individuals".

As the snow moth flaps its wings, it automatically scatters phosphorus powder like snowflakes, exuding elegance and nobility like a noblewoman.

"Butterfly~!"

The unconvinced Butterfly flapped its wings, also scattering beautiful pink phosphorescent powder; its wifely charm was second to none!

"so beautiful!"

Jana secretly praised him, but she wouldn't hold back in this match just because Ash was "letting him win".

The sky darkened, and snow continued to fall as the battle resumed.

"Edelweiss, use Aurora Beam!!"

The snow moth's feather-like antennae suddenly shot out beams of seven-colored light, carrying a strong chill.

"Butterfly, use Fairy Wind to block it!"

Because it had been a long time since she had fought alongside Ash, the pink Butterfree stared intently, her expression very serious.

"Butterfly—!"

It let out a long cry, flapping its wings and turning its body, creating a pink whirlwind around itself.

Like a barrier, it easily deflected the aurora beam.

Putting everything else aside, the battle scenes are extremely satisfying and pleasing to the eye.

These are scenes that can only be seen in the finals of the Grand Contest!

Of course, their combat prowess is by no means weak either.

"Butterfly, use Air Blade!!"

Butterfly's rotation suddenly increased, and the gentle fairy wind instantly revealed its sharpness, shooting out several blue and white air slashes from the center!

"Snow Moth, use Blizzard!!"

On the other side, Edelweiss unleashed a blizzard, clearly a Pokémon specializing in special attacks. The hurricane, mixed with ice and snow, instantly shattered the air blade.

It even completely swallowed up the petite figure of the giant butterfly! (End of Chapter)
