In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

It's getting closer, closer and closer!

Seizing the opportunity, Blastoise unleashed a powerful Ice Punch, meeting Charizard X's Dragon Claw head-on.

boom!

A ring of air ripples, almost tangible, vibrated.

Click~

The next second, the ground where Blastoise was standing cracked under the immense pressure, and the ground beneath it crumbled!

"Water cannon!"

Green waved its arms vigorously and shouted at Blastoise.

Blastoise growled and lowered its head slightly, its massive cannon on its back aimed at Charizard X, blue water light condensing around it.

"Charizard!"

His crimson expression remained unchanged; he had anticipated this situation.

A massive water cannon shot out, its target the Charizard X that was right in front of it.

However, Charizard X flapped its wings and twisted its body in advance, managing to avoid the water cannon at such close range amidst the gasps of the audience!

"Holy crap, this actually works?"

Mei was so shocked that she uttered a vulgar word: "At such close range, it's absurd that Charizard X could dodge it!"

"Red foresaw this situation beforehand."

Alice pursed her lips; clearly, this was premeditated, otherwise Charizard X would never have been able to dodge it in advance.

And at this moment in the arena.

"Dragon's Claw!"

Charizard's other claw gleamed with a sharp blue light as it swung fiercely at Blastoise.

And Blastoise, having just used its water cannon, obviously couldn't avoid it!

boom!

Dragon Claw hits Blastoise squarely in the cheek.

Under the immense force, an invisible shockwave rippled outwards, causing Blastoise's body to bend slightly, and the ground beneath its feet to shatter.

But the next moment, Blastoise's face, contorted with rage from being struck by Dragon Claw, turned its fierce gaze toward Charizard X!

"How is that possible? (beeb) Dragon Claw's damage is that weak?"

Ash stared in shock as he clearly saw this scene on the large screen at the very back of the arena.

Although Dragon Claw, a Dragon-type move, is not effective against Blastoise, Charizard X, with its Hard Claw ability, will have its contact moves significantly more powerful.

Furthermore, since Red's Charizard X is a dual-wielding type, Blastoise shouldn't seem to be unaffected no matter how you look at it.

"The green Blastoise is excellent in terms of defense and stamina, which is the main focus of his Blastoise breeding."

Bakura wasn't too surprised and explained.

The ideal breeding strategy for the green Blastoise is defense and counter-attack; defend and then look for opportunities to attack.

Isn't that strange? He's clearly a very aggressive trainer, but his ace is Blastoise, who relies on defense and counter-attack.

But this is not surprising, because Blue is such an excellent trainer that he can use all kinds of Pokémon very well.

Strictly speaking, all top trainers are all-rounders, such as Bakura, Giovanni, Lance, Red, Leon, and so on.

It's just that Giovanni and Lance are more enthusiastic about Ground and Dragon types, but Pokémon type and type are two different things.

In reality, even though Blastoise has excellent defense, Charizard X's attacks are by no means ineffective; it's just that this Blastoise's resilience is terrifying!

"Water cannon!"

Greeny shouted at Blastoise.

Blastoise raises both arms and aims at Charizard X.

"Charizard, get out of the way!"

His crimson eyes darkened, and he hurriedly shouted at Charizard X.

But it was too late!

Two huge jets of water shot out from the two small cannons on either side of Blastoise's arm, hitting Charizard X directly.

The powerful impact of the two water cannons instantly sent Charizard X flying.

"Water cannon!"

Realizing that the water cannon couldn't seriously injure Charizard X, and not letting the opportunity slip by, Green shouted at Blastoise without hesitation.

Blastoise lowered its body, its entire body glowing with a light blue light, and a huge water sphere rapidly formed.

The ultimate move of the three Water-type starter Pokémon: Hydro Cannon!

"Explosion and fire!"

Crimson frowned slightly, without a second thought; this attack had to be blocked.

Charizard managed to regain its balance before landing, clenching its fist and slamming it heavily onto the battlefield.

The ground cracked violently, and terrifying red flames were reflected from the cracks.

The water cannons came at high speed, and the explosion and combustion were fully released, with an amazing and powerful flame gushing out from the ground.

Water cannon vs. explosive flames!

The two energies, fire and water, collided violently, clashing wildly, with neither gaining the upper hand.

boom!

Ultimately, the immense power could no longer maintain its balance and exploded with a deafening roar.

An unparalleled shockwave spread outwards, and Blastoise and Charizard were simultaneously thrown back by the blast, the entire arena completely enveloped in the explosive light of energy.

The storm raged on relentlessly.

"So intense!"

Mei shielded her face with her small hands, clicking her tongue as she stared at the battlefield shrouded in the energy tide.

The battle has only just begun, and both sides are fighting to the death!

The battle, ablaze with crimson and green, continued. Although it had reached the decisive round, it was precisely because it was the final round that it was so intense!

"It's still impossible to tell who will win. It feels like if the other side makes even the slightest mistake, they're doomed."

Mei watched the two Pokémon constantly attacking each other in the arena; they had been fighting for quite some time.

However, as of now, the situation on both sides remains evenly matched, and it is impossible to tell who will win.

"It wouldn't be surprising who wins, given how closely their abilities are matched."

Touko shook her head, saying that she truly believed it.

The two fighters, Crimson and Green, are too evenly matched, so the outcome of the battle can only be decided by their performance on the spot.

"But whichever it is, it's definitely disadvantageous for Alice."

Mei blinked her beautiful eyes and suddenly thought of Alice.

Yes, Alice also made it to the semifinals, but she's in the second half, and...

"Speaking of Alice's opponents...it seems Alice will have a tough time..."

Thinking of Alice's opponent, Mei turned her head and tilted her head, because Alice's opponent in the final four was Zhi!

Yes, it's Ash Ketchum, the pinnacle of the parallel universe! He's also participating in this Alola tournament.

To be precise, Zhi is the strongest player in this Alola tournament.

Of the four finalists, Alice was the weakest, yet she ended up facing the strongest one.

Zhi has entered the semifinals relatively easily, but his exciting 6v6 duel with Bakura has already spread online.

No one will question Zhi's abilities.

not to mention……

Zhi has already challenged the Alola Battle Frontier and completed the game.

Ahem... That's right, Alice, one of the leaders of the battle pioneers, has actually already been defeated by Zhi.

"Shut your mouth. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Alice's pretty face darkened, and she glared at Mei with annoyance. This girl really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

Mei rolled her eyes. She knew that Alice had come to the Alola Tournament with the ambition of winning the championship.

Unfortunately... it seems that the title of the first Alola Grand Prix champion is destined to be out of reach for Iris.

Just like last year's Quartz Conference.

But Mei also understood that it wasn't that Alice was weak, but rather that there were simply too many monsters.

If it were another region, Alice might not only lose the grand championship, but even the regional championship.

But that's what she said, Alice wouldn't even bother with those regional tournaments that were utterly unchallenging.

……

Inside the battlefield.

"Charizard! Seismic Toss!"

Red roared at Charizard X.

Charizard X withstood Blastoise's Ice Punch head-on, completely ignoring the frost left on its chest and abdomen by the Ice Punch, and forcefully grabbed Blastoise with its two claws.

With powerful flapping of its wings, Charizard X, carrying Blastoise, soared into the sky!

Cast on earth!
