Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

The Mighty Chicken displayed amazing leg strength as it leaped into the air and delivered a claw strike right into the center of the Big Explosion!

In an instant, the burning flames scattered into a rain of fire, cascading down in a vortex.

Combusken also landed back beside May, accompanied by sparks, to take its final bow with its trainer.

"Thank you, Miss Haruka and Mighty Chicken, for your energetic and wonderful performance!"

For a first-time participant, Xiaoyao's performance was nothing short of professional.

27 points, a very high score.

After a series of statistics, the eight coordinators selected for the first round have been determined.

Robert didn't participate this time, so Shun undoubtedly took first place.

Xiaoyao is also doing well, ranking fourth.

"Well done, Xiaoyao, that confirms your advancement." In the contestants' waiting area, Serena was happily celebrating with Xiaoyao.

"Thanks to Combusken's hard work, and Serena and Ash also taught me a lot. In short, it's all thanks to everyone's help." May was also very excited at this moment, feeling that she was one step closer to the Ribbon Badge.

But there are always some guys who like to ruin other people's good mood at times like these.

"Not bad for a beginner." A slightly arrogant voice drifted over, accompanied by a delicate rose.

"What is this...?" Xiaoyao was taken aback.

"Don't get me wrong, this is for Merach. You still have a long way to go as a trainer." Shun proudly fiddled with his bangs and casually tossed the rose to May.

But Xiaoyao didn't raise her hand at all, letting the flower bounce off her and fall to the ground.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Shun frowned, a little confused.

"I'd like to ask you what you mean!" Xiaoyao questioned coldly. "You suddenly throw things at me like that, do you think I'm a trash can?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Shun's expression had already turned from cloudy to gloomy.

Does this guy in front of me even realize that I'm trying to make friends?

Otherwise, how could a novice trainer like this possibly receive the roses he offered?!

"Forget it, it's just luck for a beginner anyway." Slightly calming her anger, Xiao Shun scoffed, "Once the grand battles begin, you'll be eliminated very quickly."

"I'll return those words to you verbatim... I will definitely beat you and get the Ribbon Medal!" Xiaoyao shouted, clenching her fist.

“So you two really matched up~” Serena suddenly pointed to the big screen.

The match pairings have been announced. In the first round, it's Haruka vs. Shun!

Chapter 672 May uses Ash's script to fight Shun

"Is it finally going to begin, Haruka..."

In the audience, Ash kept watching the girl who was standing at attention in the venue.

He taught everything he was supposed to teach about the conference, and after that, it was up to Xiaoyao to figure it out on her own.

"This is going to be a great match, almost like the finals," Robert said expectantly.

What he was hoping for was whether the match would unfold as someone had written.

Before the Slateport Conference began, Ash predicted May's battle with Dawn, even going into detail about the specific moves they would clash in each round!

He once said that the sooner Haruka meets Shun, the greater her chances of winning.

This is probably the most advantageous situation for Xiaoyao.

"The second round of the spectacular battle, with a five-minute time limit, who will emerge victorious? Now, the first match officially begins!"

"Poison Rose, GO!"

"Strong Chicken, step onto the stage!"

The two, who had been waiting for a long time, simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls.

"Poison Rose, Magic Leaf!" Shun chose a guaranteed hit move at the start, releasing swirling leaves that continuously swirled towards the Mighty Chicken.

"It really is that move... Combusken, use Flame Charge!" May's face lit up with joy, and she immediately commanded Combusken to envelop its entire body in flames, forcibly dispersing the leaves in an attempt to get close.

This was Ash's first prediction. Dash's Roselia usually starts with Magic Leaf, aiming to disrupt the opponent with a guaranteed hit move.

Once the opponent closes in enough distance, he will have Poison Rose use that move…

"Poisonous Rose, Paralyzing Powder!"

Sure enough, seeing the Mighty Chicken charging towards her, Shun revealed a confident smile and commanded the Poison Rose to release a choking powder forward, while simultaneously forming a pincer attack with the Magic Leaf attacking from behind!

"Strong Chicken, jump up and use Heat Wave!"

However, just when Shun thought the attack was a sure thing, May once again made a successful prediction. The Combusken quickly leaped into the air, spinning and fanning out a large area of ​​gusts of wind that instantly ignited all the powder and leaves!

This response caused Xiaoshun's score to drop significantly.

"Not bad... Poison Rose, use the Petal Dance!"

"Strong Chicken, use Charged Flame Strike to dodge, or use Heat Wave to counter if that doesn't work!"

Here it comes, the mindless mid-game attack!

Petal Dance is the signature skill of Poison Rose. When the battle enters a stalemate, Xiao Shun will have Poison Rose continuously unleash a bugged Petal Dance that eliminates confusion, dealing damage to the opponent while performing...

All of the above also came from Ash's predictions.

Faced with this overwhelming offensive, May managed to dodge the first attack from Strongchicken, but she struggled to put up a fight for the rest of the time.

The strong chicken kept spewing hot air to scorch the petals, but it gradually became too weak and was finally hit by the remaining flowers, so it knelt on the ground in a sorry state.

"Go, Mighty Chicken!" Xiaoyao's palms were sweating with nervousness...

You absolutely mustn't let the other side see through your disguise!

With the heat wave mitigating the damage, plus its inherent resistance to Grass-type attacks, a Petal Dance attack might cause Merach to lose points, but it won't suffer serious damage.

However, if it pretends to be weak, it can create a wonderful opportunity to turn the tables!

"Almost there... Poison Rose, Sunfire!"

Look, the opportunity has come right here.

Ash's final prediction is also Shun's biggest flaw!

This guy is actually a bit impatient and not good at keeping his composure.

After the stalemate, regardless of whether the battle situation is favorable or unfavorable to him, he will choose to unleash a barrage of Solar Flames!

"Poison Rose has already begun to gather its strength, but Strong Chicken still hasn't made a move. Is this the end for Haruka?" Vivian's voice drew the attention of the entire audience.

The sun and flames blaze, victory or defeat hangs in the balance in that instant!

"Strong Chicken, cut through! Then charge up with Flame Strike!"

"What?!" *N

The sudden turn of events shocked everyone, and Xiao Shun's pupils were wide open in disbelief!

At this moment, the Mighty Chicken was no longer in a sorry state. Its eyes flashed with blue light, and it dodged the attack at the last second. Then it transformed into a speeding flame, leaving the impact of the explosion far behind.

In the blink of an eye, the Mighty Chicken flashed behind Poison Rose and grabbed her arms with both arms!

"Go all out, Flame Kick!" "Whoa!"

Boom boom boom!

With a roar, the strong rooster unleashed countless powerful kicks, severely injuring the Poison Rose!

"Kick it up!" Xiaoyao was clearly also fired up. The Mighty Chicken suddenly lifted the Poison Rose above its head and kicked it into the air!

"Poison Rose, think of a way to fight back! Use Magic Leaf..."

"The final, charged flame attack!"

Xiao Shun wanted to regroup, but the Mighty Chicken had already soared into the sky, carrying a wave of heat as it flew over the Poison Rose's body!

Amidst the swirling flames, Mighty Chicken and Poison Rose landed back on the field at the same time. One was swift and agile, while the other was disheveled and covered in charred remains...

The difference is obvious when comparing the two!

"Poison Rose Battle Off! Haruka wins!"

boom!

As the host announced the results, a burst of enthusiastic cheers immediately erupted in the audience.

"I won...that's great!" May hugged Combustion tightly. "Combustion, you're amazing! We really beat that guy!"

"I didn't expect you to have the Mighty Chicken as your trump card." After retracting the Poison Rose, Xiao Shun seemed somewhat unwilling, and a shadow fell over her face.

It feels like I've been played...

"You've misunderstood," Xiaoyao retorted with a smile. "The hunting butterflies I sent out that day were just a routine practice session; I didn't have any hidden trump cards. You haven't witnessed my full strength, yet you insist on jumping out and spouting nonsense!"

"You!" Xiao Shun's face turned ashen from the rebuke, and she could only leave the stage with a cold expression.

Xiaoyao ignored him, unable to contain her joy and eager to celebrate with Serena in the backstage area.

If the match hadn't been ongoing, she would have already run to the stands to find Ash.
