I got the Pokémon

Chapter 1002 Caidou's Karate
As if afraid that Li didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, Kuroda coughed lightly and said to her deliberately: "Ms. Caidou is the gym leader of the Galar region. She is not only a fighting trainer, but also known as the fighting genius of the Galar region. Li...you..."

He originally wanted to remind Ah Li that this person had ill intentions, was of the same status as you, and had a great reputation, so he should be careful and deal with him with all his strength.

But he couldn't say these words in front of Xia You and Cai Dou. He just kept looking at Ah Li, trying to make her understand these things through his eyes.

But unfortunately, Ali's eyes were always on Caidou. He didn't see Kuluoda's reminder at all, nor did he understand the hidden meaning of his words!
The main point is that he has no vision!
After a brief introduction, Ali and Caidou took steps and stood in their respective trainer command areas.

The battle is imminent!
An apprentice who heard the news hurriedly went to inform others. For a moment, as more and more people came to watch the fun, it seemed that all the apprentices in the gym had gathered here!
Xia You was sitting on a chair behind Cai Dou, and heard footsteps all around him. He turned around and saw that these people included men, women, old and young, all wearing white karate uniforms. A rough count showed that there were no less than thirty or forty of them, all kneeling around the battlefield, some looking at the arena nervously, and some discussing something in a low voice!
It seems that the battle between these two fighting gym masters has caused a sensation in the entire gym...

In fact, let alone them, even Xia You herself wanted to know who would win in the karate contest between these two female karate geniuses, in addition to the Pokémon battle!

Will the colorful beans from the Galar region win?

Or will Sinnoh's Ali have the last laugh?
Besides... isn't the sweaty fight between girls more interesting to watch?

On the side, seeing that the two women were ready, Kuloda sighed helplessly, but had to walk to the referee area and announce the rules of the game again.

As Xia You had already heard these rules once before, he did not listen to them again and just focused his attention on Cai Dou.

Tight abdomen, determined eyes, standard fighting posture...

I have to say, Caidou is really serious when she enters this state!

But for some reason, as Xia You looked at him, his gaze changed.

His eyes first passed over Caidou's tight calves and thighs, then stayed at her waist for a while, and then went up all the way, finally landing on Caidou's face.

Almost at the same time, Cai Dou, who had just finished listening to the rules, seemed to suddenly sense something. She turned around and happened to meet Xia You's eyes.

Seeing Xia You looking at her with an 'appreciative' gaze, Caidou's ears couldn't help but turn slightly red. Fortunately, her skin was wheat-colored, so she didn't arouse other people's suspicion. However, she still turned her head back in panic.

Xia You didn't expect that he would be discovered by her even though he was peeking so openly!
It's a bit embarrassing...

After all, so many people were looking at them at the same time, who would have thought that she would be so sensitive to their gazes?
Are you still turning around at this time?
You're fighting, why aren't you paying attention? You've even made me notice!

Fortunately, Caidou adjusted herself quickly. After just a few deep breaths, she put aside all distracting thoughts, got back into the state, and focused all her attention on Ali.

I have to say that the willpower honed in the wild for many years is indeed extraordinary!

At this time, Ali had already released her Pokémon.

It was none other than Hao Li who had fought with Xia You just a few hours ago!

After treatment and recovery of strength, Hao Li now seems to have returned to normal and is eagerly waiting for the battle.

Looking at Caidou again, she raised the Poké Ball in her hand without thinking and sent out her Pokémon.

With a flash of blue light, her Octopus Warrior appeared on the field.

This is a familiar face.

This Pokémon had appeared several times when Xia You met Caidou before, and it is considered one of Caidou's main lineup and representative Pokémon. From this, we can see that although Caidou has been reminded by him and knows how strong Ali is, he still dare not be careless in the karate fight.

This is also the most correct decision.

A lion fights a rabbit with all its might; as it concerns the glory of two gyms and a genius, she cannot afford to be careless.

On the other side, Ah Li and the other apprentices in the gym looked at the Octopus Master in amazement.

This is the first time they have seen this kind of Pokémon that only appears in the Galar Sea. The blue octopus-like body structure and soft tentacles of Octopus Warrior make them wonder, can such a Pokémon really fight in karate?
In people's stereotype, karate is all about hard combat, and this soft and tender Pokémon doesn't look like a karate master at all.

But no matter what, they had never seen such Pokémon before, and since this was the lineup of a gym leader, they did not dare to underestimate it.

The same is true for Ali.

Precisely because she had never dealt with such Pokémon before, she was very unsure at the moment, not to mention that this woman was brought by Xia You. After all, Xia You was so strong, and as his friend, this woman must not be weak.

However, her pride as a gym leader and a fighting trainer would not allow her to retreat, so when Kuroda announced the start of the match, she was the first to give the order to attack!
"Houli, use bare-handed attack!!"

After hearing Li's instructions, Gou Li quickly ran towards Octopus Warrior. In just seven or eight seconds, the not-too-long distance was shortened, and the two Pokémon started fighting together.

It was at this moment that the apprentices who were watching finally understood how this octopus-like Pokémon fought.

The four tentacles of the Octopus Warrior were swung freely like arms. Although their power was not as strong as that of real fists, they were stronger in number!
It first used two of its tentacles to block Hao Li's bare-handed attack, and then used the other two tentacles to counterattack.

Haoli was whipped and his brows furrowed, but he didn't care about it and went for the bully again.

But unfortunately, its two fists are no match for four hands. No matter how powerful its moves are, the opponent can only punch four times per second. Under these four tentacles, all its attacks are easily resolved.

This also surprised Ali.

All I can say is that in a Pokémon battle, momentum alone is useless.

What matters most is strength.

Although Ah Li's Hao Li has been with her for a long time and is very proficient in various fighting techniques, Cai Dou's Octopus Warrior has only trained longer than it, has more experience than it, and has mastered the techniques more proficiently than it!
When fighting with such an opponent, especially in close combat, the gap is still quite obvious.

Some Pokémon can use hardness to overcome softness, and some Pokémon can use softness to overcome hardness. It all depends on the performance of each side. In this match, the power-type Goryeo was obviously defeated by the softness since it was inferior to Octopus Warrior in all aspects.

However, it was a close combat confrontation after all, and no matter the fighting method, style, or positioning, it was completely different from the challenge Xia You had just faced.

The two Pokémon took turns attacking and defending, punching each other hard and hitting each other hard. Although Gorik is at a disadvantage, it is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied at will, and it is not without any ability to fight back.

Its fists are also hard enough to cause considerable damage when hitting the Octopus Warrior's soft body.

But that's all.

Although it could also pose a certain threat to the Octopus Warrior, it was eventually defeated due to the difference in strength.

One to zero.

Although Ali is temporarily behind, I have to say that her performance just now was much better than usual!
It can also be seen that compared to those ordinary gym battles, this kind of pure fighting style combat is her best area.

But then again, being defeated in an area where she excels is a bigger blow to her.

It wasn't just Ali. The apprentices who were watching couldn't help but whisper again when they saw their leader was defeated.

"I always feel that the gym owner named Caidou is stronger?"

"This is the second time that Hao Li has been knocked down today. Is this state really okay?"

"Why do I feel... as if the future of our gym is not very optimistic?"

Fortunately, compared to Ali, Kuloda, as an assistant coach, was quite dignified. Although he did not hear what these people were saying, he just glanced at them and the apprentices immediately quieted down, which also prevented Ali from being disturbed by these off-field factors.

But even if Kuloda didn't stop him, Li didn't have time to pay attention to what the apprentices said.

All her attention was now focused on the battlefield.

She felt a great deal of pressure from Caidou, which made her very confused. They were of similar age, so why was there such a big difference in strength? !

Are you not trying hard enough?

But I get up earlier than everyone else every day, go to bed later than everyone else, and am the most hardworking one. How could I not be able to beat her?
She didn't think that all her efforts and sweat were in vain, so after thinking about it, there was only one possibility left.

That's the problem of Pokémon restraint!
This is not a restraint in attributes, but a difference in body structure!

In a nutshell, the four tentacles on the Octopus Warrior's body undoubtedly give it a great advantage in the fight!
This is also the most critical!
After thinking this through, Ali decisively took back the unconscious Hao Li and released his own Masana instead.

Looking at Caidou on the opposite side, I wonder if she has been a gym leader for too long and is abiding by the rule that gym leaders cannot change Pokémon at will, or if it is some karate spirit of "roots" and "perseverance" that is at work. Even after seeing that Li changed the lineup, she still had no intention of replacing Octopus Warrior.

And this time, Mashana, who had suffered at the hands of Xia You before, finally stood up.

Even though it still had a disadvantage in terms of the number of arms, with the help of its super powers and some extraordinary performance, it still managed to defeat the Octopus Warrior with difficulty.

This also made the apprentices who were watching cheer.

This was the only time that Ali won in the five battles today. How could they not be excited?

Even Xia You couldn't help but applaud.

Unlike the previous battle with him, this time, Martha really tried her best and showed her true strength. Even though Caidou and Octopus Warrior found several opportunities during the battle, they failed to achieve any effective results. After several minutes of high-intensity fighting, they still lost.

After watching the whole game, he knew that Caidou was definitely not being overconfident, it was just that Masha and Ali's performance was better.

But even though she won, Martha's condition was not very good. She was almost killed two by the Octopus Warrior, and her physical strength... was obviously about to be exhausted.

This is not the worst.

In the next game, when Caidou sent out her bossy panda, Ali's luck ended.

A bite from the bamboo branch knocks them all down.

The name of the Domineering Panda is worthy of the word "domineering". With its own evil attributes, it not only makes superpowers useless, but also easily defeats the disabled Mashana with its extremely ferocious power. Then, facing the Lucario sent by Ali at the end, it also beats it unilaterally. No matter how hard Lucario resisted, it still lost to the pair of black fists!
This also left the surrounding apprentices stunned.

"So...so strong!"

Can it be strong?

Xia You shook his head.

You know, just like PandaBear and MonsterPower, they are both Caidou’s ace Pokémon!

He originally thought that Caidou would send out a Pokémon like Wrestling Hawkman or War Dancer, but he didn't expect that he would send out his main force to fight against Li.

Isn't this bullying?
What else can this train you to do?
But it can be seen from the side that she really doesn't want to lose this gym battle!
But little did people know that with Caidou's personality, she doesn't really care how many Pokémon she defeats, as long as she can win in the end.

And there was only one reason why she sent the domineering panda into the game.

That is - she doesn't want to lose in front of Xia You again!

In fact, others didn't notice it, but she knew her own situation. Her performance today was not very good, because during the battle, although she had reminded herself several times in her heart, she couldn't help but secretly glanced at Xia You several times, which distracted her. This caused the Octopus Warrior to lose to Mashana in the second battle.

This was a subconscious behavior, she couldn't control it at all!
This was something that had never happened before for her, who had been devoted to her practice!
If this man wasn't here, she could definitely fight two people at once!

So in order to avoid losing again, she directly sent out the domineering panda, wanting to end the battle as soon as possible so that she could calm her mind.

But the rest of the people didn't know this, including Ah Li. The people in the Curtain Gym had truly witnessed Caidou's strength, and they also understood that there was indeed a big gap between the two.

"I lost..." Ah Li laughed at himself, "Your Pokémon is too powerful. I am no match for you at all."

If it were someone else, wouldn't they have to say a few words of comfort or be polite out of respect and etiquette?
But Li was facing Caidou, a woman who was always silent. Even if he wanted to say something, he didn't know how to say it.

It was Xia You who smoothed things over and prevented Li from being too embarrassed.

"Your fight isn't over yet. Caidou came here this time to learn karate from you. Is that convenient for you?"

After all, she is a lively girl. Maybe because she has lost too many times, Li has gained rich experience, so she recovers quickly. Now when she hears that Caidou wants to compete with her in person, she hurriedly agrees.

"Great! I also want to fight someone like you! I just lost to you in the Pokémon battle, and I won't show mercy next time!"

Caidou still didn't say anything, but just nodded: "Please give me more advice."

After putting away their Pokémon, Caidou and Li took a few steps forward and stood where their Pokémon had been before.

Compared to the Pokémon battle, the karate showdown between two female geniuses is an even rarer scene, and it is also the highlight of this gym battle!
This also made all the apprentices around excited. They opened their eyes wide and stared at the two people in the field nervously. They were looking forward to it!
Before the game started, Xia You smiled and said to Cai Dou, "Come on!"

Unexpectedly, these three simple words instantly filled Caidou with power!

She turned her head to look at Xia You, meeting his gaze with an indescribable look in her eyes. Then she nodded slightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Compared with the attitude towards Ali just now, it can be said that there is a world of difference.

This also made Li shake his head.

A bystander sees more clearly. Even though she has never been in love, one can tell at a glance that this woman has fallen into the stench of love!
Really, as a qualified karate practitioner, how can I fall into such a quagmire?

But since this was someone else's business, she didn't say anything. She just waited for Caidou to focus her attention again and then took the starting stance.

Compared to the general starting style, Ali's starting style is slightly different. It originates from the 'Curtain Style' passed down from generation to generation in the Curtain Gym.

Similarly, Caidou focused her eyes, took a deep breath, then took a small step back with her right leg and also put on a stance, but because she didn't have any family background, her starting posture was much more normal.

The referee was still Kuloda. Seeing that both men were ready, he suddenly swung his arm down.

"First round, begin!"

Just as Kuloda finished speaking, Ali took the first step.

She took a few steps forward, and her left leg suddenly loosened like a taut bowstring. Her toes drew a crescent-shaped arc and went straight to Caidou's temple.

Caidou's pupils contracted slightly. She knew from the look of that kick that this was not an ordinary upper kick, so she used her right hand knife to cut down diagonally, and the edge of her palm accurately hit the end of the opponent's shin.

The dull sound of muscles colliding made Xia You frown subconsciously.

Unlike those karate practitioners, he was still unfamiliar with this kind of fighting, so when he saw this kind of flesh-and-flesh fighting between humans, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, neither of them wore protective gear, so if one of them attacked and hit, it would inevitably cause varying degrees of damage to the other's body.

But then I thought, these two are both black belts. Although I don't know what level of black belt they have reached, they are still the highest level in karate. And they are just sparring, they are not going to kill each other, it is more like stopping at the right time.

I believe they all know the answer.

My thoughts returned to the field. At this time, it was Caidou's turn to counterattack.

Caidou's right leg swung out like a whip, but when it was about to touch Li's left rib, it strangely accelerated to the second stage!
This also caused the surrounding apprentices to exclaim in surprise, and just when Ah Li was on guard, he suddenly raised his attack and turned it into an upper kick aimed at the jaw!
Ah Li's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip, and she leaned back quickly. In the next second, the tip of her nose just brushed against the sole of Caidou's foot. The strong wind pressure even lifted the strands of hair on Ah Li's forehead!

Because she didn't know much about karate, Xia You couldn't name these moves and was just watching for fun. She couldn't make an accurate judgment, but she could see that their fight was indeed very exciting.

However, judging from the attentively watched state of the apprentices around them, it was not difficult to see that they should be fighting back and forth.

As expected, compared to Pokémon battles, Li is obviously better at doing it himself...

She is worthy of being called a genius girl!

Fortunately, Caidou is not inferior to her at all.

With admiring eyes, Xia You couldn't help but look at Cai Dou's heroic figure again. It must be said that she looked different from usual, with a bit more heroic and powerful feeling.

If anyone quarrels with her in the future, he will definitely be kicked half to death.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the apprentices around him exclaiming again.

When Xia You came back to her senses and looked, she found that Caidou and Aliqia took a step back at the same time. Obviously, their moves just now had successfully hit each other.

I remember the term should be... effective strike establishment, right?

Although the two were evenly matched in the early stages, the situation became completely different when they fought again.

It can be said that after Ah Li's three-pronged attack, Cai Dou knew her background clearly, and it was at this moment that the scales suddenly tilted towards Cai Dou.

Caidou's attacks became more and more fierce and sharp. Ali couldn't resist at all and was hit frequently. Later, her body couldn't bear it anymore and she had to call a halt to the game.

This means that after the Pokémon battle, she lost to Caidou again.

This also made the surrounding apprentices very sad.

Lost again...

"You're amazing!" Ah Li didn't care about that. He just looked at Caidou and said sincerely, "Not only are the Pokémon so strong, but your own level is also very high. How did you do it?"

How could it not be amazing...

Between them, one is called a genius girl, and the other is called a genius girl rarely seen in a century. The difference of "a hundred years" between them means that the difference in strength is not just a little bit.

And this time, perhaps because she agreed with Ah Li, Caidou did not use Xia You to explain.

She adjusted her breath first, then said to Li: "It's nothing, just go out more and hone your skills with Pokémon."
