Pokémon travel photography: Starting with riding the wave of popularity.

"Now that both sides have calmed down, let's prepare for the battle!"

"Ok!"

Xia Mu immediately gave a thumbs-up and then swiped it across his neck.

Upon seeing this, Togo immediately hid behind the combat instructor.

"He threatened me! Did you see that? He's threatening me!!"

"Okay, I'm here, he can't get through. Can you hurry up? I'm starving!"

"hiss--"

Looking at the impatient combat instructor, Togo's eyes widened.

However, he seemed to remember what he had said to provoke Xia Mu, so he ultimately chose to remain silent.

Having reached the edge of the battlefield, Togo looked at Natsuki.

"You just promised me, you said you wouldn't give orders!"

"..."

"..."

This was the first time anyone had ever seen such a shameless person.

However, thinking about his superpowers, Xia Mu nodded in agreement.

"My word is my bond!"

Using superpowers to command secretly won't affect the battle; it will also make you look cool—perfect!

However, the others were unaware of Xia Mu's ulterior motives. When they heard that Xia Mu had actually agreed to Togo's unreasonable request, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Although I've always disliked this guy, Xia Mu is a real man!"

"I've decided that from today onwards, he's my idol!"

"Every word is a promise, even jokes are taken seriously, my manly spirit is burning!"

A group of muscular men suddenly started cheering for Xia Mu.

……

And it was under these circumstances that the battle finally began.

"Go, Fire-Breathing Camel, Houndoom!"

Togo's choice of Pokémon was very strategic.

Fire-type and Ground-type Camel not only counters Newleaf Cat and Green Vine Serpent, but also has some advantage against Blacksmith.

The Fire and Dark type Houndoom is more effective against the Ghost type Golem.

However, Xia Mu was already mentally prepared for this, knowing the other party's financial situation.

"Meow!"

"despair!"

It's still the familiar New Leaf Cat and Green Vine Snake.

"Game start!"

"despair!"

Snake Sister used the Grassy Ground skill the moment she appeared, and the entire battlefield was instantly enveloped in green fluorescence.

Moreover, as its proficiency increased, the yellow collar on the Green Vine Snake's chest began to glow as it released the Grass Field.

Skill - Leaf Storm!

A green tornado swept towards the two Pokémon opposite, and at the same time, the Contrarian ability was triggered, causing an extremely intense light to flash across Snivy's body.

Faced with the oncoming green tornado, Togo's two Pokémon began to unleash their skills on their own without any instructions.

Jet Flame x2

Two thick flames merged into one in mid-air and collided with the storm of flying leaves.

boom!

Black smoke filled the sky.

But just as everyone was watching the scene unfolding before them with bated breath.

Baku!!

The fire-breathing camel suddenly let out a scream.

As the sea breeze dispersed the black smoke, everyone finally noticed.

While the Green Vine Snake was locked in a power struggle with the two Pokémon opposite it, New Leaf Meow wasn't idle either.

She slid down the energy-condensed slide the moment the Green Vine Serpent unleashed its storm.

"Meow haha!"

Amidst New Leaf Cat's cheerful laughter, she glided toward the Fire-Breathing Camel at incredible speed, her little paws gleaming with a familiar black light.

Grass slide!

A sneak attack on a vital point!

The combination of the two skills, along with the damage from inertia, resulted in a black blade of condensed energy slicing through the Fire-Breathing Camel before it could even react.

"Baku!!"

The fire-breathing camel immediately let out a mournful howl.

With the already overpowered attributes of the new Leaf Cat and the added benefit of the Grassy Terrain, the Fire Camel suffered tremendous damage.

However, before Houndoom could react and go to help Camerupt, Snivy used Leaf Storm once again.

With the increase in special attack attribute, the skill effect this time is much more exaggerated than before.

Even though the Serperior had just unleashed its skill, the Houndoom and Camerupt on the other side of the battlefield already felt the pain of the sharp leaves brushing against their faces.

boom!

Ignoring the Leafy Meow behind it, Camerupt endured the pain and, together with Houndoom, unleashed flames to stop the Leaf Storm from getting closer.

But the cat was unhappy about being ignored.

"Meow!"

Just because I'm not showing my power doesn't mean I'm some kind of Rattata!

Newleaf Meow puffed out its cheeks and glared angrily at Camerupt and Houndoom, which were facing away from it with their backsides.

"Meow!!"

Instantly, a bright white light enveloped New Leaf Cat.

At this moment, no matter how dazzling the struggle between Snivy and Houndoom was, it could not compare to the brilliance of evolution.

"Meow~"

Her once clear and melodious voice had transformed into an extraordinary smoky voice.

but.

Even though Shin-chan's voice and appearance have changed, transforming from an adorable kitten into a yo-yo expert, her personality remains unchanged.

Enraged by being looked down upon, Tirion evolved and charged at Houndoom without hesitation.

You were the one who just redirected your attacks from me to the Green Vine Serpent!

Tire Cat's right foot glowed, and then...

"Meow!!"

Tiremy kicked Houndoom between its hind legs.

"Awooo!!!"

Houndoom let out a scream that made everyone involuntarily clench their legs.

As Houndoom was forced to stop firing its flames due to the intense pain, Serpentshrine Cavern's Leaf Storm quickly overwhelmed Camerupt's flames.

Baku!

Fire-Breathing Camel stared wide-eyed in terror, hoping that the Green Vine Snake would show mercy because of Tire Cat's presence.

but.

"Meow~"

With a flick of its bud-like yo-yo, Tire Cat flew away like Spider-Man, pulling along the steel frame above the stands.

After the cat dodged, the incredibly slow Camel and Houndoom, who was clenching its hind legs trying to stand up, were in trouble.

boom!

The leaf storm showed no signs of stopping.

He carried the fire-breathing camel and Houndoom all the way, and then, with a dazed expression on his face, Togo rushed across the white bridge towards the sea.

"Yay! All down, perfect score!"

Xia Mu raised her hand and cheered.

But it was at this very moment.

"Destroy the Death Ray!"

boom!

A thick beam of energy mercilessly pierced through the leaf storm, leaving a large hole in the clouds above.

"Who is it?!"

"Who was that guy who randomly unleashed their skills?!"

The angry female voice made Xia Mu tremble.

"Holy crap, Officer Jenny is back here?!"
