Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Duo Wu's expression changed drastically.

"King Thorn Dragon, quick, break free!"

Kingdra frantically thrashed its tail fin, trying to rush out against the current.

But the vortex was too powerful. The giant crab was like a tireless engine, its pincers churning faster and faster, and the vortex's suction became stronger and stronger.

One lap, two laps, three laps—

The Thorn Dragon King's body was swept up by the water flow, like a fallen leaf falling into a whirlpool, spiraling closer and closer to the center.

At the center of the whirlpool, the giant crab stood calmly, its two large pincers raised.

Everyone in the audience stood up.

"This...this is too exaggerated! The whole pool is spinning!"

"This is a tidal vortex! It's definitely a tidal vortex!"

"What an amazing whirlpool!"

"What kind of monster is that giant clawed crab?!"

On the stands, a subtle crack appeared in Kona's expression.

Her brows furrowed first, then relaxed, then furrowed again.

This was repeated twice, finally settling on a "Are you kidding me?" expression.

A whirlpool?

How come she, a master of water magic, didn't realize it was a whirlpool?

Isn't this just stirring up the pool?!

"Tch—knock!"

In the arena, the giant crab let out a powerful roar.

When the Kingdra was swept into the vortex to within half a meter of it, its orange-red right pincer shot out like lightning.

"King Thorn Dragon! Get out of the way!"

Duo Wu's voice changed tone.

But King Thorn Dragon's body didn't have time to react.

The giant crab's left pincer had precisely clamped onto Kingdra's long, elegant neck.

"Waaaaah—!!!"

The Thorn Dragon King let out a mournful cry, its once arrogant gaze instantly turning into terror.

It thrashed about, its tail slapping violently across the water, splashing up large sprays, but the giant crab's claws seemed welded to its neck, remaining completely still.

"Look, there you go."

Xiaoxia turned to Lillie.

"This is the result of enjoying the commentary!"

231. He's so confident!

Ado.

He gave King Thorn Dragon a friendly smile.

The large-clawed crab that had clamped its claws immediately began a second round of brutal beatings.

The technique was exactly the same as the one used to pound the coconut tree earlier.

The bright orange crab claws kept striking the noble head of the Spikeridged Dragon.

In just a few blows, the Thorn Dragon King was knocked off balance, its body creating messy ripples on the water's surface.

Its once long and elegant neck was now shrunk like a spring, and the arrogance in its eyes had long since shattered.

King Thorn Dragon did attempt to retaliate.

But the tough-skinned, thick-skinned giant crab seemed completely indifferent, even looking at Kingdra with a hint of regret.

After all, this Pokémon's mouth is just too small, so it can't make any friends.

This is truly a great regret for the crab!

Seeing his ace player getting beaten up, Duo Wu became anxious.

"Kingdragon! Use Dragon Pulse!"

"Break it open!"

"Dora!"

Kingdra heard the trainer's voice, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes, which were on the verge of collapse.

It took a deep breath, and a dazzling blue light gathered deep in its throat.

Energy surged and compressed within his body, aimed at the massive crab claws so close at hand, about to erupt—

But the Dragon King doesn't understand one thing.

That means within three steps, the pliers are fast and accurate!

The giant crab didn't even make a move to anticipate what was happening. Just as the ball of blue light was about to burst out, its claws shot out like lightning and clamped down hard on the King Thorn Dragon's mouth with a snap!

"!!!?"

The dragon king's pupils suddenly dilated.

His mouth was tightly shut, and the dragon's energy that was about to be unleashed was blocked in his throat.

It tried to control itself and stop, but as anyone with experience knows, something that's about to burst out can't be held back.

"boom!"

A muffled thud was heard—

The Dragon Pulse exploded directly inside Kingdra's mouth.

A bluish energy emanated from the gaps in its tightly closed mouth.

The Thorn Dragon King's body stiffened abruptly, its eyes rolled back, and wisps of black smoke billowed from its mouth.

This directly caused it to suffer internal injuries.

Having left a trick in Kingdra's mouth, Krabby didn't hesitate and continued to pummel him.

a bit.

Two times.

Three times.

King Thorn Dragon, who had never seen such an operation before, was completely stunned.

Looking at the pincers in its mouth, its eyes changed from "pain" to "terror," then back to "pain," repeating this cycle like a stuck emoji player.

In just over twenty seconds, the rain stopped and the sun came out.

"Kingdra is unable to battle! Krabby wins!"

The referee's voice rang out again, this time more decisive than before.

Clearly, with his exceptional ability to adapt, he has already begun to adjust to this art style.

Dowu stood frozen in place, the Poké Ball in his hand hovering in mid-air, unsure whether to throw it or retrieve it.

His lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were as empty as if his soul had been stolen by a giant crab.

"Multi-player, please send out your last Pokémon."

After wringing out his clothes, the referee's voice carried a hint of sympathy.

To be fair, from his perspective, Dobu's strength as a trainer is quite good.

The team's lineup, on-the-spot command, and tactical adaptability are all capable of winning a place in a major competition.

What can be done...

He secretly glanced at the boy wearing a baseball cap across from him.

Unfortunately, the opponent's strength was simply too abstract to grasp!

Abstract Pokémons and abstract Trainers!

This isn't a fight, this is clearly performance art!

Upon hearing this, Duowu took a deep breath.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Xiaozhi.

"I admit, you are indeed very strong, and your thinking is quite flexible." His voice was hoarse and deep. "No wonder you defeated me last time!"

Xiao Zhi scratched his head, about to speak.

"Um...actually, I'm not..."

"But!" Duowu shouted, his voice like thunder, interrupting them abruptly, "Now, it's my turn to launch a counterattack!"

He clenched his fist suddenly, his knuckles cracking.

"The battle isn't over yet!"

This shout was full of energy and heroic spirit, as if the one who had just been brutally beaten was not his Kingdra but the Krabby on the other side.

"Seriously? This can actually be adjusted?"

The audience erupted in uproar.

"Great attitude, young man!"

"That expression...? Could it be that Duo Wu has some hidden trump card?"

"Look at him, he's definitely hiding something!"

Before he could finish speaking, Dowu suddenly threw the last Poké Ball into the air.
