Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 600 Haruka vs. Mei! Should I avoid her sharp edge?

"Let's congratulate Giovanni! He defeated the formidable Leon and successfully became the fourth trainer to break into the 'Master Eight'!"

The sunglasses-wearing host roared excitedly, as a Kanto native, he was thrilled to see Kanto champion Giovanni enter the Masters 8.

He was naturally extremely excited at that moment.

wo——！ ！

The entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"Tsk~ Still can't do it? Leon-tei."

Chibana looked at D'Antoni on the field and couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Sakaki Champion's strength is just too strong."

Hop wailed, clutching his head, though Leon was no longer the invincible champion in the hearts of the people of the Galar region.

But seeing her own brother eliminated still made Hop very sad.

"Don't worry, Senior Dan Di still has the revival match to play, that's his privilege."

Xiaoyou remained calm, looking at the big screen with her gaze fixed on the image of Giovanni's sixth Pokémon, Beedrill.

"However, Sakaki-senpai is really confident; he didn't even use Groudon."

Yu's adorable click of the tongue: Yes, in this battle, Giovanni didn't even use Groudon.

Because Giovanni's sixth Pokémon was Mega Beedrill, and Mega Beedrill successfully defeated Leon's Charizard Y.

"Sakaki is still too amazing~!"

Cibana was also deeply moved.

"Xiao You, now that Dan Di has fallen, you are our only hope in the Galer region."

"I'll tease you," said Chibana, glancing at Xiaoyou.

"Hmm... let's see how the next match goes."

Xiao You looked at her fair face, without being overly confident.

Because she knew very well that the remaining contestants were also very competitive, she wasn't 100% confident.

Not to mention, there's another girl still in the contestant pool, and that girl is definitely a boss.

The first day of the round of 16 has come to an end.

Today's four exciting matches have kept all the viewers increasingly hooked.

Forums in all regions are filled with discussions about the remaining spots and today's competition.

Fortunately, the wait wasn't long.

The competition continued the following day.

It's still the Quartz Arena, and the sunglasses-wearing host is giving his opening remarks.

"I wonder who Sister Gaderia will be matched with."

As Prantina listened to the sunglasses-wearing host, her eyes were already glued to the big screen.

Those are the remaining eight contestants.

Mei, Xiaozhao, Cattleya, Serena, Xiaoyou, Akane, Awata, Xiaoyao.

"Yes, as long as it doesn't match Xiao Zhao."

Zhu Lan's gaze finally settled on Xiao Zhao's profile picture. Of the seven people, in Zhu Lan's opinion, apart from Xiao Zhao, the remaining six were all capable of being fought by Gadria.

But if it matches a small photo, then you're really doomed.

"Let's see how the match goes."

Cattleya shook her head. That's how random matching works. Who could possibly guess?
After the host in sunglasses finished his opening remarks, he went straight to the point, and the first pair of contestants for the day began to be matched on the big screen.

The entire arena fell silent instantly.

Before long, the first match appeared.

Mei vs. Haruka!

"Oh! It's me!"

Xiaoyao's eyes widened instantly, and a smile appeared on her innocent face.

"Mei, the Unova Champion, is a formidable opponent. Be careful, Haruka."

Daigo frowned slightly, looking at the girl with the bun hairstyle on the big screen, and reminded Haruka.

Mei, the monster girl who topped the Unova rankings last year, is also a top executive of Team Rocket who performed exceptionally well in the Battle of Goldenrod City.

Compared to her best friend, Touko, who is also a genius girl, Mei is more capable.

He's definitely a formidable rival.

"I will!" Xiaoyao grinned, her bright eyes sparkling.

"Don't be afraid, Haruka! I believe you can definitely defeat Mei!"

Mikoli encourages his juniors.

"She's just a mere Unova Champion. Perfect, Haruka, use her to show everyone your prowess!"

Clearly, Michael had a lot of confidence in Haruka, even though Mei was indeed riding high.

But as his and Daigo's successor, it's a piece of cake for Haruka to beat a mere Unova Champion.
Xiaoyao: "..."

"Shut up, will you?" Daigo looked at his best friend speechlessly.

He was terrified that Xiaoyao would be poisoned to death by Mikoli.

"Mei and Haruka, this match is going to be interesting."

Mammon crossed his legs and watched the big screen with great interest.

The protagonist of the Jewel series versus the protagonist of Black & White 2 – this battle is expected to be exciting.

"Alright, both contestants are ready. Let's give them a warm round of applause!"

"Mei!"

"Xiaoyao!"

The sunglass-wearing host's loud and passionate shouts echoed continuously. From the contestant tunnels on either side, Haruka and Mei slowly emerged.

Amidst enthusiastic cheers, Mei walked to her place as a player.

"Hey~ This is the kind of exciting atmosphere I love. I definitely prefer playing in a venue like this."

Mei stretched lazily, and the hem of her tight-fitting short shirt was pulled up, revealing her slender and delicate waist, which was dazzlingly white.

"Especially when the opponent is so strong."

Lowering her arm, Mei grinned and looked at her opponent in this battle, her smile unrestrained and carefree.

Xiaoyao was, of course, a familiar name to her.

After all, Yao later joined the Rockets, and they were all top executives. Although they didn't meet often, they were still acquainted.

Besides, Touko was eliminated by Haruka!
This time, she also took the opportunity to avenge Touko!

The referee came onto the field and announced the rules of the match. On the big screen, the pointer started to spin and finally stopped on Mei's side.

"My first move was pretty good."

Mei moved her slender fingers, which twisted and turned gracefully like a dance.

"Hey~ Haruka, let me see what you're really capable of after you eliminated Touko!"

Mei has never been a humble girl. Rather, her cheerful and outgoing personality gives people the impression of being proud and arrogant.

"Hey! I also want to see the strength of the Unova Champions!"

Xiaoyao tilted her head slightly, her smile was very pure and lovely, but her words were anything but timid.

"Then watch closely!"

Mei took out a Poké Ball and tossed it high into the air, her clear, energetic voice ringing out.

"Monarch Serpent! Go!"

A flash of white light appeared as the magnificent and noble Monarch Serpent slithered forward, slowly raising its upper body. Its ruby-like eyes gazed coldly and arrogantly at Haruka.

Grass-type Serperior!
"The Monarch Serpent?"

Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly. Of course she knew Serperior, the starter Pokémon of the Unova region.

Serperior is also Mei's starter Pokémon, and its strength is beyond question.

"Alureduo!"

Without much hesitation, May decisively threw out her first Poké Ball.

Gallade landed with a sharp aura, raised its arm blades, and assumed a battle stance against Serperior.

"Gallade versus Serperior? There's no such thing as type advantage or disadvantage anymore."

Daigo looked at the two Pokémon on the field.

"May's Gallade has the Sharp ability, while Serperior has no other advantages besides being faster."

Mikkel analyzed.

Serperior looks beautiful and gorgeous, but it is actually a Pokémon with a defensive specialization; its attack power is not particularly high.

Gallade is already strong in physical attacks, not to mention the Sharpness ability, which greatly amplifies the power of cutting moves.

"It depends on how well both sides perform." Daigo shook his head.

The battle begins.

As Wallace analyzed, Serperior is not actually a Pokémon that is very good at offense, after all, its strengths are defense and speed.

Furthermore, Mei's Serperior doesn't have the Contrarian ability, so even if it's Mei's main Serperior, it's no match for Gallade in a head-on confrontation.

Mei, of course, understands this better. As an excellent Serperior Trainer, she knows better how to use Serperior in battle.

Taking advantage of May's opportunity to send Gallade into close combat, Mei decisively had Serperior use Glare to paralyze Gallade.

Serpent's Leer, a Normal-type move, is unique to snake-type Pokémon and can paralyze the opponent.

Then Serperior locked onto Gallade with its black gaze, preventing it from being recalled by a Poké Ball.

Xiaoyao felt the pressure instantly.

Serperior then used the Grass-type Growth ability to boost its Attack and Special Attack.

Although May took the opportunity to send Gallade, who had been paralyzed for the first time, to attack, Gallade's body was already much slower due to the paralysis.

After coiling up, Mei immediately had the Serpent Lord create some distance and began its second growth.

May ordered Gallade to attack again, but Gallade was paralyzed while rushing forward.

The Monarch Serpent has completed its second growth cycle.

"Mei is really smart. She deliberately kept Gallade to strengthen Serperior."

Xiao Zhi exclaimed in admiration.

Mei didn't attack while Gallade was paralyzed because she wanted to use the paralyzed Gallade to strengthen herself.

To prevent May from changing her Pokémon, she even used her black gaze to lock onto Gallade.

"Yeah, they use their brains in battle," Xiaoxia said quietly.

Xiao Zhi glanced at Xiao Xia with a puzzled look, feeling that Xiao Xia was implying something.

On the field, Xiaoyao clearly understood this as well, watching as Serperior began its third growth.

Xiaoyao realized that she couldn't continue like this, otherwise, she would have to wait for Serperior to strengthen its double attack six times.

Then she really has to fight the boss, and the Serpent Lord will become very difficult to deal with.

She had Gallade use Taunt, which prevented the opponent from using status moves for a period of time.

Growth could no longer continue.

"Tsk~ That's a quick reaction."

Seeing that the third attempt at growth had failed, Mei couldn't help but click her tongue.

However, that's enough for now. After two growth cycles, Serperior's Attack and Special Attack have both been boosted twice.

Defeating this paralyzed Gallade shouldn't be a problem.
