Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

"Ah, is that guy the first one?" Xiaoyao frowned slightly, her heart pounding with nervousness again.

At this moment, Shun walked over again and stood next to Ash, facing May.

"The previous performance was good; you could say it was excellent."

"Shun..."

May and Ash were a little incredulous at first, thinking he had changed his personality, but he quickly added the next sentence.

"Don't misunderstand, this praise is for the hunting swallowtail butterfly."

"Excluding a certain incompetent trainer, your stiff performance is still ugly."

"What!" Xiaoyao's forehead was practically bursting with anger.

"What? Who is this brat? He's so annoying."

The outspoken Musashi said it directly to Shun's face.

Musashi thought Shun was friends with May and Ash because he came over so naturally, but now it seems they don't get along at all!

However, Shun is also a master of the art of acting cool and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) for over a decade. His composure is exceptional, and Musashi's words did not affect his cool expression at all.

He still looked down at Xiaoyao with a cool expression.

"Shun, did you come here just to provoke me?!"

"No, it's just a final farewell and consolation for someone's lucky journey."

"hateful!"

The green-haired guy is indeed gifted at provoking others, but because of this, Xiaoyao put in a lot of effort.

"Shun, I will never lose to you!"

Chapter 403 Xiaoyao's Second Battle

Let's put an end to the pre-match trash talk for now.

As it was the first match of the Grand Battle stage, Haruka and Shun quickly arrived on the stage.

Ash and his friends left the backstage area and took their seats in the audience. As soon as Max sat down, he started to feel nervous for his sister.

"It's coming, it's coming... Sister has been focused on performing, will she be able to handle the battle?"

After all, May and Beautifly have a glorious record of being defeated by Shrike in one move, so it's really hard for Max to trust its combat ability.

However, Musashi then corrected his previous statement.

"Kid, there's a big difference between a fancy battle and a real battle."

"Each match lasts for 5 minutes, and the scores of both sides are displayed in real time on the big screen."

"Most importantly, the requirements for the glamorous battle are that both sides must fight while maintaining beauty and elegance."

At this moment, photos of Haruka and Shun appeared on the large screen in the center of the battle stage, with a long score bar below each of them.

Musashi continued.

"Points will only be deducted when a Pokémon is attacked, makes a mistake in its move, or when the opponent's Pokémon displays a particularly flashy move, or even takes advantage of the situation to use one's own move to showcase the charm of one's Pokémon."

"When the match ends, the remaining scores of both sides will be compared, and the side with more remaining scores wins."

"If the remaining scores are the same, an overtime period will be played until one side loses all their points, at which point the other side wins."

"I see." Xiao Sheng looked like he had learned something.

No wonder Xiaoshun looked so arrogant during that beach battle.

Indeed, in that battle, the allure of the Poison Rose was far stronger than that of the Hunting Swallowtail.

"Then doesn't that mean my sister has no chance of winning?"

"Of course not."

At this moment, Ash spoke with a slight smile.

"Even in the Grand Contest, a battle is still a battle, and May's Hunting Butterfly still has the advantage in terms of attributes."

"In a battle of ultimate moves, Poison Rose will definitely show signs of fatigue sooner; it's not that she has no chance."

"That's right, and with the careful training of my Lord Musashi, it's more accurate to say that the little girl has a very high chance of winning, hahaha..."

It has to be said that Musashi and his friends were indeed the best sparring partners for Ash and his group.

In just the few battles that Musashi fought alongside Haruka, even with the fighting abilities of a girl with large breasts, she was able to accidentally defeat the Gluttonous Serpent multiple times while training her skills.

It really boosted the experience of hunting swallowtail butterflies by a lot, which is quite something.

Of course, this was under the condition that Musashi was unprepared.

Currently, in terms of strength in the Grand Contest alone, Musashi is far superior to Haruka.

However, the increase in strength is real.

Compared to the beach battle a few days ago, the Hunting Butterfly's strength has improved by at least one level.

Thanks to this, Xiaoyao has already chosen her winning formula.

Finally, the host, Vivian, announced the start of the match, and May and Shun simultaneously released their Pokémon.

As expected, both sides chose their good partners from the performance phase, who were also old rivals from the previous battle: the Swallowtail and the Poison Rose.

"This time, I'm going to beat you no matter what, Shun!"

"Hmph, if you can do it, then give it a try."

"But in the end, the one who will surely be victorious is my most beautiful poisonous rose."

Because there are only 5 minutes left, and if the two sides do not start fighting, both of them will receive a yellow card and have half of their points deducted.

If neither side continues to fight, they will receive a second yellow card and be eliminated.

Therefore, a Coordinator's spectacular battles cannot be taken lightly.

Every minute and every second was extremely precious, and Xiaoyao immediately seized the initiative.

"Hunting Swallowtail Butterfly, use Silver Whirlwind!"

Ah—Oh!

With a flap of its beautiful wings, the whirlwind, mixed with the silvery scales of the large butterfly, shimmered and attacked its opponent.

"Poisonous Rose, Magic Leaf".

Facing the silver whirlwind, the poisonous rose spun and released leaves that emitted a green glow.

However, Grass-type moves are naturally at a disadvantage when facing Bug-type moves.

The magic leaf's attack was thwarted, and it was directly blown away by the silver whirlwind.

The leaves were blown to both sides by the wind.

"Yay! My sister's Hunting Butterfly attribute has an overwhelming advantage!"

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Sheng immediately cheered, and even Xiao Yao couldn't help but beam with joy.

"Alright, Hunting Swallowtail Butterfly, press your advantage!"

However, Shun, who was his opponent, showed no sign of panic.

"If that's the case, you're underestimating me. Magic Leaf is a move that's guaranteed to hit, Poison Rose!"

"Get out of here!"

With a shout from the Poison Rose, the magic leaves that had been scattered by the wind miraculously resumed their attack.

The butterfly attacked gracefully from two directions, catching the completely unprepared butterfly directly in the attack, leaving it in a sorry state.

Silver Whirlwind was dodged by Poison Rose leaping high into the air, and Xiaoyao's score was immediately reduced by a large margin.

"Don't give up, Hunting Butterfly! Use Wind!"

"Poisonous Rose, Petal Dance".

A strong gust of wind blew across the poisonous rose, but only caused its newly summoned petals to flutter everywhere.

Poison Rose made good use of the Wind skill to showcase the charm of her skills, and Xiaoyao's score was deducted again.

"Wow, what a beautiful battle! Shun and his Poison Rose have shown superb skills."

"His opponent seems to have fallen into his rhythm."

As soon as the host finished speaking, Xiaoyao's score on the screen was deducted again.

In terms of entertainment value, Xiaoyao is far behind Xiaoshun.

"Ah, the other side hasn't lost a single point, but my sister's score is already almost half gone."

"That's normal, because the little girl isn't really putting on a fancy fight right now, it's just a simple fight, and her special moves are released without any beauty."

"What? Doesn't my sister know the rules? You big idiot sister!"

Upon hearing Musashi's words, Kacchan exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course not. We've finally made it to the second round of review. No matter how eccentric Xiaoyao is, she wouldn't mess things up here."

"She must have her reasons for doing this."

Just as Musashi said, at this moment, Haruka's face did not show any panic due to the passage of time and scores; on the contrary, she was very calm.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Poison Rose's vision was obstructed by the wind blowing up its petals, Haruka immediately gave the order.

"Hunting swallowtail butterflies, unleash the Butterfly Dance!"

This is a new move I learned while sparring with Musashi.

The Hunting Butterfly on the field immediately performed a mysterious and beautiful dance, raising its Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed ​​by one level.

"Ah~"

This elegant dance perfectly showcased the beauty of the hunting swallowtail butterfly, and Xiao Shun's score was slightly deducted.

At the same time, he instinctively began to feel that something was wrong.

"Butterfly Dance... Poisonous Rose, Blazing Sunlight!"
