Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 659 Red vs. Satoshi!

In the pasture, on the battlefield of grass.

Xiaozhi and Chihong stood at the two ends respectively.

Liliae and the others stood aside and watched the battle.

"The rules of the game are a 3v3 full battle. I won't introduce the specific rules, you should all know them. Let's start!" Referee Naoki looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

"Well, let's go, Pikachu!"

Xiaozhi took the lead and chose to send Pikachu into battle.

Red remained silent. Instead of sending out Pikachu, he took out a new Poké Ball.

A white light flashed, and a Pokémon with velvety fur, resembling a small cat, with a pair of violet eyes and lavender fur, and a beautiful ruby ​​on its forehead, suddenly appeared in the battle between Pikachu and Pokémon.

"Sol Eevee?" Naoki suddenly became interested.

If he remembered correctly, the origin of this red Sun Eevee was very special.

It was once used as an experiment by Team Rocket, and was later rescued by Red. It can evolve directly into three forms: Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon through the Evolution Stone.

And it can also return to its original state after evolving. Until later, because this ability would cause it pain, Crimson allowed it to permanently evolve into Sol Eevee.

While Naoki was thinking, the battle between Sun Eevee and Pikachu had officially begun.

Ash's Pikachu started with a flash of lightning.

Pikachu then started running quickly, its body turned into a white light, and crashed into the Sun Eevee like an arrow.

Red did not give any verbal orders, but Naoki knew that he had the ability to communicate telepathically with Pokémon. Even without speaking, he could convey his thoughts to Pokémon in real time through his mind.

The ruby ​​on Solevil's forehead flashed with enchanting light, and it moved slightly, actually avoiding Pikachu's flash of lightning.

"Pickup?"

There was a flash of lightning and it hit nothing. Pikachu couldn't believe that this Sun Eevee's reaction was so quick.

As soon as it stopped, it suddenly felt its body rising into the air uncontrollably, followed by a huge impact. For a moment, it seemed as if its soul had been violently shocked.

Mental strength + mental shock!

Pikachu felt the pain and yelled, "Pika-chu!"

After only one round, Xiaozhi realized that his opponent was very strong and immediately gave a loud order:

"Pikachu, use one hundred thousand volts!"

Dazzling electric light burst out from Pikachu's body, turning into a violent electric current that swept towards the body of the Eevee.

The control of the mental power was interrupted, Pikachu's body relaxed, and he fell from mid-air.

"Use Iron Tail!" Xiaozhi said quickly.

Red had bad luck. One hundred thousand volts triggered paralysis on Solebee, which slowed down its movements for a beat, and it was hit back repeatedly by Iron Tail on the spot.

"Another flash of lightning!" Xiaozhi chose to attack with a quick attack.

However, this time, his luck was not so good.

Sun Eevee endured the negative effects of the paralysis and dodged the lightning attack.

Then, he used the ruby ​​on his forehead to condense a huge ball of telekinesis and blasted it towards Pikachu.

Pikachu stepped back in pain, looking breathlessly at the Sol Eevee opposite him, who seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.

Xiaozhi also saw Pikachu's situation. In order to prevent Pikachu from rushing forward and being controlled by the mental power again, he decisively used a long-range move to attack:
"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts!"

The electric current was so fierce that it was difficult for Sol Eevee to dodge it. Facing this attack, Crimson made an unexpected move.

He actually let the Sol Eevee use Morning Light on the spot!

One hundred thousand volts fell on Solebee, while Morning Light continued to heal Solebee's injuries. The two offset each other, allowing Solebee to withstand the attack!

When Pikachu's electric current dissipated, Solevaid directly finished it with a mental power move.

"As expected of Red!" Naoki said in his heart, and then announced: "Pikachu has lost the ability to fight, and the first match is won by Red!"

"Pikachu!" Xiaozhi brought Pikachu back, and Pikachu opened his eyes weakly: "Pika~"

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiaozhi said softly, "Leave the rest to us!"

Red took a look at the exhausted Solevil, and then chose to take it back and replace it with a new Pokémon.

"The second battle officially begins!" Naoki announced.

"Melumeta, I'm counting on you!" Xiaozhi threw a Poké Ball.

And Chihong's actions were performed almost at the same time.

Accompanied by two flashes of white light, Ash sent out the mythical Pokémon Melmetal, while Red sent out his own Charizard!
Melmetal is at a great disadvantage against Charizard.

Although Xiaozhi has the title of reverse attribute master, that is a red Charizard after all.

Moreover, Xiaozhi is only good at speed attack, and high-attack and low-speed Pokémon like Melmetal do not fit his style of play.

In the second battle, Xiaozhi started with a double attack of Steel Fist.

But Charizard nimbly avoided it using its flying ability.

Then, a jet of scorching flames swept over and engulfed Melmetal's body.

"Merumeta! Hold on!" Xiaozhi shouted.

Melmetal raised her arms and tried to resist the attack of the jet of flames, and she managed to hold on!

"Very good, Beam Cannon!" Xiaozhi pointed at Charizard.

A thick white beam of light shot out from Melmetal's eye hole, but was still avoided by Charizard.

Chihong watched the situation on the field in silence. His mind moved slightly, and then Charizard spewed out raging flames from its mouth, surrounding Melmetal below.

"Boom"!
The energy of the flame reached its limit and a violent explosion occurred.

In the explosion, Melmetal was directly engulfed by the flames and fell to the ground, losing her ability to fight.

"As expected..." Naoki thought. He was not surprised that Xiaozhi's Melmetal lost. After all, according to the time, Xiaozhi had only captured it for less than ten months: "Melmetal has lost its ability to fight!"

"So, so strong!" Kachi and others looked at the young man with astonishment.

"Come on, Xiaozhi!" Mao couldn't help but cheer for Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi looked solemn, he was also the trainer of Charizard, so he could feel that Charizard was extremely powerful.

"In that case..." Xiaozhi took out the third Poké Ball: "Lycoon, I'll leave it to you!"

In the third battle, Red did not choose to change Pokémon and still sent out Charizard.

"let's start!"

As Naoki's voice fell, facing the powerful Charizard, Xiaozhi still chose to take the initiative to attack.

"Werewolf of the Mane Rock, sharp stone attack!"

The Werewolf stomped its front legs on the ground, and the next second, the ground of the entire battlefield began to shake violently.

The power of the earth seemed to be in turmoil, and huge and sharp rocks suddenly shot out from under the ground, moving forward all the way to the Charizard.

The Charizard flapped its wings and circled quickly in the air, avoiding the range of the sharp stones' attack and launching a surprise attack on the Werewolf from the side, with scorching flames sweeping out.

"Get out of the way!"

The Werewolf looked at the Charizard, its body was as agile as a wolf, and it exerted force on its limbs and jumped onto the huge stone caused by the sharp stone attack.

"Now!" Xiaozhi shouted, "Use Rock Rush!"

The power of rock covered the entire body of the Garchomp. It pounced towards the Charizard and knocked the Charizard to the ground in mid-air.

However, the next second, raging flames burst out of Charizard's body, wrapping itself and the Wolf Mane in it.

The flames turned into a vortex that continued to rotate at high speed, blocking the view of the people outside.

Invisible! In the vortex of fire, the scorching flames burned the Wolf Mane, forcing it to let go of the Charizard.

Taking this opportunity, the Charizard flew into the sky, flapped its wings, and blew out hot wind that drowned the Wolf Mane below.

"Lurex, come out!" Xiaozhi frowned, but still shouted loudly.

Instead of letting the Werewolf be burned by the flames, it is better to rush out in one go. Even though it will get hurt, it is worse than being trapped in the vortex of fire!
The high temperature seemed to burn the fur on Garrosh's body, and the moment it heard the trainer's command, Garrosh decisively rushed out of the vortex of fire.

Chihong admired that decision very much, but at the same time, he gave orders to Charizard in his mind.

The next second, the Charizard rushed towards the Werewolf below.

"Sharp Stone Attack!" Xiaozhi tried to stop it.

Huge sharp boulders protruded from the ground, but were avoided by Charizard as it circled around.

It flew to the side of the Wolf Mane, hugged it tightly with both arms, and then raised its head and rushed into the sky.

That move is... the classic earth throw!

The Werewolf kept struggling, but the Charizard held it very tightly. When it flew to a certain height, it suddenly turned around and dived straight down to the ground.

As the wolf-mane released its sharp claws, it was attracted by gravity and fell towards the ground as if it was out of control.

There was a "boom".

The Werewolf fell to the ground, his eyes rolled back, and he lost his ability to fight.

*
Three minutes later, Pikachu, Solveiw, Lycanroku, Melmetal, and Charizard were sitting on the grass drinking Naoki's life-giving goat milk.

Xiaozhi looked at Red with great interest and asked, "Where did you come from?"

crimson:"……"

After a long silence, Chi Hong said, "...Zhenxin Town."

Hearing this answer, Xiaozhi immediately opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief:
"Pallet Town? Are you a trainer from Pallet Town as well? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Pikachu also looked confused: "Pika?"

crimson:"……"

He didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he turned and looked at Naoki.

Seeing this, Naoki explained for him: "That's because Red comes from the town of Pallet Town in another world."

"Another world?" Liliae and the others exclaimed.

Xiaozhi, on the other hand, is knowledgeable. He has seen a lot, not only the Ultra Space, but he also accidentally entered the Mirror Kingdom when he was traveling in the Kalos region.

It is exactly the same as the real world, with only some differences in color, but the personalities of the creatures living there are the opposite of those in the real world.

crimson:"……"

Naoki continued to explain for him: "I told Chihong your story, so he wanted to meet you."

So that's it! Xiaozhi's face was full of enlightenment. He looked at Hong curiously and asked, "What does the Pallet Town in that world look like? Is there Xiao Mao there? Is there Professor Oak?"

Red: "...There is Professor Oak."

"Wow!" Xiaozhi immediately became interested: "It sounds like there is no difference between the two worlds!"

Chihong remained silent.

He looked at himself in this world, and after a while, he suddenly said, "...If you have a chance in the future, you can go there with me to take a look."

Xiaozhi was very happy: "Then it's settled!"

Xiaozhi and his group did not stay in the ranch for long.

There are still many things waiting for the members of the Ultimate Defense Force to do in the Alola region.

So that afternoon, the group said goodbye to Naoki and Akane, and left Padiya on a ship.

Naoki and Chihong saw them off. Standing at the port of Ziqin Town, they looked at the back of the ship.

Naoki said to Akane, "Actually, Satoshi is very special!"

"He is different from most trainers in this world. Every time he travels to a new area, he will send his old Pokémon to Professor Oak's research institute, and then meet the local Pokémon again there."

"Like you, Xiaozhi also has Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle by his side, but his Pokémon are also very special. Many of them don't like to evolve, so Xiaozhi lets them maintain their original forms."

"..."

Chihong was still as silent as before, and Naoki didn't know what he was thinking.

After seeing Xiaozhi off, the two returned to the ranch.

Xiaoshu saw his father from afar, and ran into Naoki's arms.

"father!"

Chihong couldn't help but look at the little girl riding the three sacred beasts.

Naoki introduced with a smile: "That's my daughter. Isn't she pretty? She will definitely become a very powerful trainer in the future! Xiaoshu, this is Brother Red."

Xiaoshu looked at Chihong. She listened to her father and called out, "Brother Chihong!"

crimson:"……"

"Do you want to stay at the ranch for dinner today?" Naoki asked.

Chihong shook his head. So far, he had completed his exploration of the World Tree.

Next, he wanted to go there to continue his training and try to challenge those powerful legendary Pokémon.

"Okay! In that case, I won't keep you any longer."

Naoki stood up and asked his sister, Ai Guanshi, to take out a box of life-giving goat milk from home and give it to Chihong.

"This is the goat milk produced by my mount goat. Its effect is similar to the holy ash of the Phoenix King. No matter how badly injured a Pokémon is, as long as it drinks a bottle, the injury will be healed. I believe it will be helpful for your subsequent training."

Chi Hong was slightly startled, he opened his mouth, and then said: "...Thank you."

Chihong is still very polite! Naoki smiled and said, "Go!"

Akane nodded, but before leaving, he asked Naoki for a notebook and pen.

Although Naoki was confused, he guessed that Red might want to record the ecological information of the rare Pokémon on the World Tree, so he readily agreed.

There happened to be some unused notebooks and pens at home, so he gave Chihong several pens at once to make it easier for him to take notes.

Carrying the pen, Chihong said goodbye to Naoki, then turned around and left the ranch with Pikachu and returned to the World Tree.

It just so happened that Qishu also returned home. It was already late autumn and the temperature in Padia had dropped.

After Naoki prepared dinner, the family gathered in front of the warm fireplace, eating dinner while watching the first game of today's semi-finals.

Dandi vs. Sirona.

As expected, Emperor Dan won the battle.

Tomorrow, it would be his match with Daigo.

Naoki began to think about which three Pokémon would be best to send into battle tomorrow.

According to the plot in the anime, Daigo will send Cradle Lily, Boskodora and Mega Metagross to fight.

But now Daigo's opponent is not Xiaozhi, but him, which may force Daigo to make some adjustments.

"In that case, let's let Dragonite start, Babu and Tubo support the team, and Leighton will be the backup." Naoki chose a more stable lineup.

But speaking of Babu Dobo, Naoki suddenly remembered something.

As we all know, Cang Xiang's Giant Beast Slash and Zamarant's Giant Bomb can cause double damage to Gigantamax Pokémon.

And now, with the blessing of Budcrown, will Babutu's Behemoth Hammer, which shares the same power as Cang Xiang and Zangmarant, also cause double damage when facing Gigantamax Pokémon?
If so, it can serve as a trump card against Dandi's Super Gigantamax Charizard.
