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

Boom!

The field trembled violently, and Guzma hurriedly ordered the Vikanon to counterattack with Thunder, but the Vikanon took a while to unleash its ultimate move.

During this time, Hawkman delivered another fierce Ki-Punch to the ground!

"Why are you playing like this?" Haruka asked, puzzled. "Did the terrain offensive work?"

"Yes, it worked." Ash nodded in surprise. "It's a very rare Pokémon... that Hawlucha has the Mold Breaker ability!"

When it comes to the Wrestling Hawk, its main use is, of course, a burst of power with light armor. Equip it with consumable items like gems and seeds, and once its special ability is triggered, even an electric beam can't catch up with it.

In comparison, although the "exceptional" trait is a hidden feature, it is indeed less popular than the former.

However, in some special circumstances—like now—a Mold Breaker that can nullify some of the opponent's abilities is a stroke of genius!

The stag beetle used to do whatever it wanted by floating underground, but now that its special ability has been broken, every heavy blow from the wrestler will seriously damage it.

boom!

After another Ki-Gathering Punch, the stag beetle fell completely silent underground.

Kashiri regained the advantage, and Guzma's remaining Pokémon were Scizor and Golisopod, which she could easily defeat by taking advantage of their type advantage.

Moreover, her second-place Pokémon—that hot-style Florges—is also a major nemesis for these two Pokémon.

Against Fire/Flying type opponents, Golem could barely manage a 50/50 fight, while Scizor simply didn't dare to utter a word.

As a barrage of unreasonable swaying dances, feather dances, and awakening dances rained down, Guzma's face turned ashen.

Getting hit by Feather Dance will reduce attack, but against Floradix's Fighter ability, Guzma doesn't dare to use Swords Dance, otherwise it would just be giving the opponent a boost.

Adding to the chaotic effect of the Shaking Dance, he could only choose to keep switching... but every time he switched on, he definitely couldn't dodge an Awakening Dance!

"Damn it... Stop toying with me!" Guzma seemed to have finally had enough of this battle. He stopped commanding his Pokémon to dodge and even let Scizor perish in the flames.

"Send out your strongest Pokémon and attack with your strongest moves!" Guzma said, hands in his pockets, looking defiant. "Even if I'm going to lose, I won't do it like this!"

"Then so be it, go for it, Ah Keng!" Kashiri seemed to be infected by the other party's persistence and finally sent out her ace.

She already has the Flying Z on her Z bracelet!

"Extreme speed dive and violent impact!!"

With the power of Z, Kashiri's Gunbeak Bird swooped down from the sky and delivered a full-force blow that completely knocked down the armored warrior!

"The match is over, and Kashiri is the winner!" As the referee announced the result, thunderous cheers erupted throughout the arena.

Kashiri made it into the top four, which means she will become the Alola Flying-type Elite Four member!

Chapter 832 Lillie, Embracing Confidence

The first all-out battle finally came to an end, but the cheers and discussions at the scene did not subside for a long time.

When the competition goes to six-on-six, the players will show their best skills, with various tactics, combinations, and extreme grappling, often making the audience cheer with excitement.

Such battles also won the recognition of strong players from other regions, letting them know that although the Alola League was newly established, it was not supported by Ash alone.

This land is also full of hidden talents!

After this battle, while people celebrated for Kashiri, their impression of Guzma finally began to change.

His ability to fight with such unwavering determination and ultimately lose with his head held high, demonstrates a shrewdness that can influence many people.

However, there's no need to feel sorry for him, since there's still a chance for him to be resurrected in the losers' bracket.

According to the tournament rules, the players who are eliminated in the quarterfinals will have a royal battle to determine who will win the last king title.

If you want to seize this last opportunity, then study and practice diligently during this period!

The next match is Sabrina vs. Musashi. There's not much to say about this match; the difference in strength is obvious.

Actually, compared to the anime, Musashi's current weapon is truly luxurious.

Not only did Arbok stay with her team, she also obtained Blissey and Blissey in Ogawa, caught Seviper and Toxad in Hoenn, and finally caught Mimikyu in Alola.

With this lineup, if she returns to Hoenn for the Grand Contest, aside from Robert, the only thing that could stop her from lifting the Ribbon Trophy would probably be the referee…

Even so, Sabrina's strength still far surpassed hers.

The super-powered girl didn't even use Alakazam; she successfully overwhelmed Musashi with just Sylveon, Flashy Beedrill, and Slowbro.

The two Pokémon that Ash caught while traveling with her have now grown into important partners!

That afternoon, Lillie finally made her appearance.

Known as the 'ice flower blooming in Alola' and a fair-skinned and beautiful young lady, Lillie's popularity among viewers is self-evident.

However, Marius is a well-established and powerful fighter, so Lillie is not favored... However, after the match started, the audience was once again shocked!

Milotic, Missco, and Clefairy faced off against Marin's Magneton, Skarmory, and Metagross... Despite all three of their Pokémon being super effective against the opponent, Lillie managed to put up a fight on equal footing through the efforts of her Pokémon and her own composure!

Especially at the end of the first half, Pikessi managed a comeback with a sliver of health, stunning the opponent's Metagross with a powerful smash and gaining a slight advantage.

"Wow... I had no idea Lillie was so amazing!" Haruka exclaimed during the halftime break.

She had always thought that Lillie was about the same strength as her... or a little weaker.

After all, the other party was always by Ash's side, and May had almost never seen her fight.

“It’s actually quite difficult to develop good teamwork when using Pokémon given to you by others, but Lillie has an advantage in this area,” Serena explained. “Even her brother can’t match her in this respect.”

The three Pokémon Lillie used originally belonged to Lusamine, and their strength was enough to fight Marin head-on.

Lillie herself is not as naive as everyone imagines.

Although she rarely participates, she has been around Ash for a long time and has developed a very high level of insight.

Blue will tell her how to use Clefairy well, Rika will guide her to bring out the characteristics of Miss Skirt, and Ash has even bred a Milotic that can be called the most beautiful in the world!

With these coaches helping her, Lillie naturally found it easy to fight.

"And she was very composed; you could tell she had completely resolved her inner conflict," Xiao Lan said with a smile.

She felt that Ash's assessment was quite accurate; as long as Lillie maintained her confidence, she could unleash her true power!

Lillie is now completely in control on the field, even Marin is scratching his head from time to time, feeling that the girl on the other side is really difficult to deal with.

And her confidence is subtly influencing the one she's holding, constantly stimulating its hidden power...

"Phew... I finally made it through." After using the Slashing Commander to take down Lillie's Piccolo and Mismagius in succession in the second half, Marin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lillie failed to get Misdreavus to use Destiny Bond, which gave Marin the chance to win that he had been waiting for.

And at this moment, the scales of victory finally began to tip.

"Please, Bai Gungun, use hail!"

"Commander Slash, come back! It's your turn next, Sand King!"

When Lillie sent out her fifth Alolan Ninetales, Marin also began to selectively switch to her handheld unit.

His Ice/Steel type Alolan Sandslash is undoubtedly a perfect counter to White Golem.

Both Pokémon have the Snow Cloak ability. Sandslash entered the battle and naturally benefited from the hail released by White Golem.

However, none of Bai Gungun's special moves are effective against Sandslash King, and the power of his ice-type moves is reduced to a quarter!

After Sandslash appeared, it only used one move, Spiral Ball, to corner White Roll.

"The situation is not good." Ash frowned slightly in the stands.

Lillie's biggest problem lies here: the white panda she painstakingly nurtured is actually the most serious weakness in her lineup!

His strength was insufficient to participate in a Champion-level battle, and his own attributes were also at a disadvantage. Even if he used the Z-Move, it would be difficult to turn the tide...

"Even so, I'll still give it a try... Bai Gungun, let's go!" Knowing she couldn't defeat her opponent, Lillie still took a full-strength stance with Bai Gungun!

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, she chooses to uphold her confidence!

"A vast, raging ice-covered land!!"

"Sandslash King, use Spiral Ball at full power!!"

The spreading ice crystals collided violently with the spinning Pangolin. After a stalemate where neither side would give way, the Pangolin actually broke through the hard ice and knocked Bai Gungun to the ground!

Marui was determined not to use Z-Moves; he wanted to use all his remaining power to wipe out Lillie's last remaining Pokémon.

"Bai Gungun, you've already done your best... Now get some rest." Lillie's face showed no sign of frustration. She thoughtfully recalled her companion and took out the last commemorative ball.

"Go to a battle without regrets... Magearna!" Lillie finally sent out the mechanic girl she always kept by her side.

Although Magearna is still in Poké Ball form, she is already able to fight quite well under Lillie's guidance, and can even launch some attacks that catch Marlene off guard!

"Mageyana, Aura Missile!"

"Sand King, use Metal Blast immediately!"

boom!

The powerful waveguide energy hit the Sandslash King's body perfectly. Fortunately, Ma Rui reacted quickly enough to immediately amplify the damage and return it to him.

After a violent explosion, both sides sustained injuries, and Lillie was hesitant to make any rash moves.

However, Ma Ruiyin became unusually aggressive. Noticing that Magiana was having difficulty moving, he immediately had Pangolin trigger an earthquake.

Lillie hurriedly signaled Magiana to use the Spiral Ball to bounce herself up, but it was too late.
