Ditto doesn't move

Such powerful language was vividly portrayed by a beautiful, drunk woman...

Far from being intimidating, its menacing appearance has a kind of endearing, affected charm.

"That's basically it. He wants you to train your team as soon as possible and not waste any more time on other things."

After the Ice King finished his imitation, he returned to his previous perfectly dashing appearance:

"What that mosquito coil frog showed, besides its awareness, was something that Shiba and I studied painstakingly for a long time before we finally gained some understanding."

"I guess all the champions and superstars who watched that match are the same. No, if it were them, they would definitely have all watched that match."

"Watch out, unknown champion, you've helped us grow again."

The dangerous smile was full of confidence, as if it were hinting at something...

The emergence of new battle philosophies may be helpful to ordinary trainers, but for elite trainers like the Champions and Masters, they will only grow stronger and more dominant than ordinary trainers!

"Then I'll look forward to what you'll show at the invitational tournament..."

Before Xia Mingwu could finish telling his myth, the door to the Pokémon Center reopened.

The person standing at the door was none other than Ash Ketchum, the amazing boy who loved Pokémon.

"No, why are you back?"

Even Master Xiaogang was completely baffled by him.

"Ah, I just went out to look for her but couldn't find her." The amazing boy scratched his head and said, "After thinking about it, I guess she'll just throw a tantrum and come back like before."

"By the way, Xiaogang! Tell me how your practice matches went, I've only heard half of it..."

Grass.

Even though he was already familiar with Ash's personality, these words still came to Brock's mind.

Bro, you're unbeatable.

P.S.: Xiaoxia's character is probably like a chivalrous girl in a martial arts novel who can't be a peerless master, but dares to love and hate.

Volume Two: Major League Chapter 114 The Flying Dragons are like... the Flying Dragons without dragons.

"Hahaha! Ash, that idiot! He really left you aside and spent ages arguing with Brock about a training match!"

In the training room before the match, the trainer, who was making a lot of noise and laughing, was wearing a black jacket and had the same sun-dried, wheat-colored skin and the spiky hair typical of a handsome, sunny guy.

Xiaoxia said she didn't want to talk about it.

"Well, well, you can't blame Ash. After all, he's the kind of person who doesn't even think about checking who his opponent is until the day before the match."

As always, the easygoing Xiao Gang acted as a peacemaker.

"You can't blame him for that. After all, intelligence gathering before the competition is a very important part, and there's too much fake news online."

As the tactical advisor and coach, the Ice Queen Kona smiled and said:

"Even the information obtained from training matches is not reliable. Although there are no particularly famous Dragon-type trainers in the Hoenn region besides Elite Four member Genji, I am certain that one of the opponent's three Pokémon will be Dragon-type."

"Xiao Gang, the most challenging task is now in your hands."

"Please feel free to leave it to me."

Master Xiao Gang, who has never been able to resist beautiful older women, confidently guaranteed.

Ta-da!

With the background music accompanies the images appearing on the battlefield screen, the Manalo Tournament venue is in an uproar after the Mosquito Frog challenged King Hara.

Bearing the glory of fighting for the region, tourists and trainers from all over the world gather together, looking forward to witnessing another glorious battle.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Pokémon Regional Invitational Tournament."

"I'll still be the commentator for this match, along with Kojiro, Nyan Nyan, Musashi Rina, and..."

The host on the screen deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and the camera then shifted to the other side of the commentary booth.

"Master Ma, who has just stepped down from his position as champion of the Galer region and has fought countless battles without defeat!"

The smiling old man, his face glowing, put down his phone and greeted the audience both in person and watching the live stream online.

"Master Ma, what are your thoughts on the two teams playing today?"

Before the old man could speak, a barrage of comments appeared on the screen, such as "Kanto Charm Team will definitely annihilate Hoenn Flying Dragon Team" and "Big brother who has a family to support, don't lose!" These were followed by exasperated comments from the Hoenn viewers, such as "Instant kill!" and "Captain is invincible! Captain is awesome!"

Master Ma, who had a childlike temper, immediately pouted, swallowing back the words of praise and support that were already on the tip of his tongue.

"The players are the players, and the coaching staff is the coaching staff. Everyone, please don't apply the coaches' strengths to the players, okay?"

And seemingly to verify his words, the starting lineup for both sides was none other than:

Senri, a Normal-type Gym Leader from the Hoenn region, and Brock, a Rock-type Gym Leader from the Kanto region!

Powerful trainers have extremely high popularity, and almost the moment they appear, trainers with PTSD triggers will flood the screen with comments.

"I'm a newbie, and I was forced to retire by that gym leader's 'King of Taking Leave'!"

"Hey, you're not alone. The one who forced me into retirement was his Kangaskhan!"

"Master Xiaogang, don't fall over! I'm still waiting for you to share today's beautiful lady's photos!"

Come out, you fake king!

Steelix, prepare for battle!

The simultaneous landing of the two colossal beasts nearly shook the entire battlefield.

Clinging to the railing, almost leaning halfway out to see what was happening in the arena, Ash anxiously said to his companion:

"Hey, this is completely different from what we agreed on during the training matches! I remember that Slaking, it was incredibly strong!"

Master Ma, chuckling on the screen above his head, had already begun his tactical analysis and commentary:

"See? I knew it. Pokémon battles are full of unknowns. When you don't know what kind of opponent your team will send out, choosing a tough Pokémon to fight is the best choice."

"Ah, I know, I know!" Rising star idol Lina, who had crammed on the rules before the match, raised her hand high: "Next, it's time to switch! Use your type-advantage Pokémon to challenge your opponent!"

"Not necessarily. There are only two opportunities to switch out, so judging when to switch is very important. In addition, things like Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Crystallize are also limited to one per team member that can only be used once."

"Will we trade here? Or will it evolve into Mega Steelix?"

It seemed that both coaching staffs had anticipated this situation, and Qianli, who clearly had a larger skill pool, immediately gave the order:

"Spray flames!"

The only time they hold back is when facing new trainers. This is the kind of absurd battle that trainers in their second playthrough face when they challenge Thousand Miles again:

Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Blizzard, Sunbeam, Cold Water...

With its stats comparable to a legendary Pokémon, Slaking can instantly kill Pokémon if it hits.

People call him the "minor fish crusher" when they first meet him.

Xiao Gang's choice was to dig a hole.

The blazing pillar of fire grazed Steelix's tailbone, leaving only a few scorch marks. Like a giant insect found only in the desert, Steelix burrowed into the ground at lightning speed.

"That's incredibly fast! This isn't the speed a normal Steelix should be!"

"Wait, it's quicksand! Steelix used its elemental powers to turn the land around it into quicksand! What amazing technique!"

"We have to switch! Slaking's laziness caused its first move to miss, so it has to take a forced rest for a turn! That means it will definitely take the opponent's Dig attack."

"Having overcome the speed deficiency, all that's needed is to repeatedly use the Dig move, and Slaking will inevitably be worn down until he dies!"

Master Ma, who showed no signs of aging, grabbed the microphone and shouted enthusiastically with a flushed face.

Just as Lorelei warned, after watching that battle and hearing the analysis of elemental powers...

How could those trainers who have crossed the narrow bridge among thousands not be deeply obsessed with exploring new directions?

What appears now is a giant steel snake that treats the space as nothing, like a dragon tumbling in the water.

However, Qianli did not replace the one who asked for leave. After quickly communicating with his teammates and coach through the headset and the microphone on his collar, he had already confirmed one thing.

We must fight.

Even if it means mutual destruction, we must fight to take down this giant steel snake.

Because the opponent unintentionally chose this Ground/Steel type Pokémon to act as the vanguard, which happened to hit the weakness of Team Flying Dragon's second Pokémon.

Just as Lorelei was certain that the opponent would have a Dragon-type Pokémon, Elite Four member Genji made the same judgment.

The opponent must have an ace that is good at water or ice, and it is very likely that it is their trump card.

After all, with that Poliwag as a reference, Ice and Fighting attributes are far more advantageous than other attributes on the road to exploration.

To protect teammates who are trying to counter the opponent's ace.

This is... a necessary sacrifice!

Like his fellow absentee king, Gym Leader Senri silently and humbly took the extremely powerful Dig attack and then issued the following order:

"Grab him, rush into the cave, and unleash the most powerful earthquake."

P.S.: The design competition was more difficult than I expected...

Volume Two: The Grand Alliance Chapter 115 You are a dragon, so be it.

Xiao Gang has become stronger.

Ash, who was unexpectedly sensitive to Pokémon and battles, suddenly had this thought pop into his mind.

Dead memories begin to attack me.jpg

To be honest, Pikachu fought a tough battle to finally defeat Brock's Onix, and later witnessed Onix evolve into Steelix.

That's what I thought, but we've traveled together for so long after all.

His perception of Xiao Gang seemed to be stuck in the past, at the crossroads where the three of them parted ways.

Until, in a close-up shot of the contestants on the big screen, Ash saw that Brock was wearing something very familiar to Ash: an Evolution Key Stone.

I acknowledge your progress in pushing Master Qianli to this extent.

But why, why not use MEGA evolution?

If Mega Evolve into Steelix, even Slaking's most powerful earthquake probably wouldn't be able to break through Mega Steelix's impenetrable defense.

You clearly still have energy left!

The commentator and Master Ma were also shouting and questioning loudly, because in the face of the opponent's seemingly self-destructive earthquake attack, Master Xiao Gang, who had always left people with a lecherous impression, revealed a cunning smile that was completely inconsistent with his usual demeanor.

【earthquake】

This was the command Brock gave when Steelix was captured by Slaking and the two sides were fiercely fighting to re-enter the underground.

Two earthquake sources were found in one site!

Coach Ma, who was already used to both singles and doubles, frowned for a long time before finally discerning a clue in the battle between the players and coaches:

"Qianli and Xiaogang, do they both think that sacrificing themselves is no big deal, and they must first take down the enemy's guards?"

"Do you guys really have that much faith in your teammates?"

"With double the earthquake and both being underground, both Steelix and Slaking will suffer massive damage. Will the first round of battle really end in mutual destruction, as they expect?"

That's not the case.

Although the area had been shaken by the double earthquake, leaving it riddled with ravines and broken rocks, the first things to emerge from underground when the shaking finally stopped were...

It was a heavily wounded Steelix, but still had a sliver of strength left!

[Sturdy] Characteristic

Meanwhile, Senri's Slave King was also at his last gasp, but his hands were still tightly clung to Steelix, refusing to let go.

After using its last bit of strength to obey its trainer's command and unleash a move, its crimson eyes finally turned into circles.

【Sunny day】

Hey! ! !

The fighting spirit and patience of both sides had reached an astonishing level, to the point that the spectators couldn't help but roar with respect.

Before the roar could even be heard, a figure rushed out from the entrance of the Hoenn Dragons' competition tunnel.
