Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Before he could even feel happy for half a second...

"Shh-"

Instead of slowing down when encountering obstacles, Blaziken's speed actually increased.

It simply disappeared from Kajiyama's sight.

"Oops."

His pupils contracted.

It's no secret that Tetsuya's Blaziken possesses Aura power.

Besides, he was also the other party's good friend.

Kajiyama doesn't think Blaziken can't catch the Pelipper in the air.

The flight altitude required for proper combat is a joke for the former.

"Abandon Storm! Use Protect!"

He made a decision immediately.

"Europe"

The beak responded very promptly.

As the green light curtain unfolded around it, the Blaziken quietly appeared directly above its body.

"Interesting, but the timing is wrong."

Tetsuya's eyes also became extremely serious. "Double kick, then use True Qi Fist!"

"Down"

The Blaziken's body sank in mid-air, its legs almost touching the green light screen.

He slightly hooked his left foot up, then kicked out hard.

"Pop—"

The sound of the energy shield shattering faintly rang in everyone's ears.

Without its protector, the Pelipper is like a sheep stripped of its wool when facing the powerful Blaziken.

As it spins, Blaziken kicks out with even greater force with its right foot.

The beaked gull instantly transformed into a blur and plummeted to the ground.

"Get back to normal, Pelipper!"

Kajiyama placed his hands on the railing of the command platform and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

All that could be seen was the sky.

The Blaziken followed closely above the rapidly falling Pelipper.

Its claws were clenched into fists, and the dazzling white light was particularly eye-catching under the rain.

"Europe"

The stiff-bodied beak flapped its wings with difficulty.

But the injury from that kick left it in excruciating pain all over its body, making it difficult to exert any force.

The result of the tempering process meant that the attack struck its vital point squarely.

"That was good, keep it up next time."

The sound of the Blaziken entered the Pelipper's mind.

A white light enveloped all its vision.

The beak closed its eyes in resignation.

Sorry, there's no way it can cause any harm.

The next moment, darkness descended.

"Peacock is unable to battle, Blaziken wins!"

After hesitating for two or three seconds, the referee finally raised the flag.

Although it looked like a long time, it had actually been less than a minute since the battle began.

The speed of this battle in the second phase of the Silver Tournament was something the referees hadn't anticipated.

"Come back, Big Peacock."

Kajiyama silently recalled his first Pokémon.

A year and a half.

The two, who were once evenly matched, are now on completely different levels.

"Ah, I really am a little unwilling."

He raised his hands and patted his cheeks.

It was precisely because he was unwilling to accept defeat that he always felt he still had a chance to win.

Now it seems the teacher was right after all.

"Even so, we can't let these guys' efforts go to waste."

Kajiyama gripped the second Poké Ball tightly: "Poliwrath, go for it!"

"Bang~"

A robust, fast-swimming frog appeared on the field, splashing up layers of water despite the rain that hadn't ended.

"Wave missile".

Tetsuya did not change his Pokémon after winning his first match.

Using Blaziken is enough.

A blue orb of light slowly formed in front of the Blaziken.

The powerful energy caused the surrounding air to distort.

The water spread out in all directions, making it impossible to get close to the Blaziken.

"We need to hurry."

As the rain gradually subsided, Kajiyama let out a sigh of relief.

The rapid defeat of the beaks significantly impacted the continuation of the rainy weather.

"Create distance and use the water cannon!"

“Wa”

The fast-swimming frog calmly nodded.

Its seemingly heavy body burst forth with an unexpectedly agile speed.

Its elusive nature allows it to move freely even in the rain.

at the same time.

The surging water gradually emerged from the black patterns on its chest.

Upon seeing this.

The Blaziken, having almost fully charged, swung its right claw.

The wave missile shot out.

The powerful blue light bullet left a vacuum channel in the air.

It rapidly approached the fast-swimming frog.

However, the fast-swimming frog is one of Kajiyama's mainstays.

With the help of the rain, it quickly completed the energy condensation of the water cannon.

"boom--"

An incredibly powerful torrent of water surged forth.

Even with the strength of a fast-swimming frog, it couldn't help but be pushed back several steps by this counterforce.

Having adjusted its state, it looked up with hope.

"Wa!"

The next second, the fast-swimming frog let out an incredulous cry.

Just like the look in its trainer's eyes.

At this moment, the wave missile was as agile as a bird, freely circling around the water cannon's trajectory and turning forward.

It's like putting a shackle on the outside of the water cannon.

Look towards the Blaziken.

The blue light in his already blue eyes became even brighter.

Blaziken stood still, unmoved, as the water cannons came hurtling towards it.

It seems that the issue of evasion was overlooked due to negligence in controlling the wave missile.

Just as the audience was holding their breath...

Blaziken slightly raised its right foot.

"Boom-"

A deep pit appeared on the ground.

The Blaziken disappeared along with it.

People's eyes kept sweeping across the field.

Finally, I found it on the other diagonal.

"Hiss... Blaziken at full speed, it's terrifying!"

More than one person has expressed this sentiment.

Of course, they also know that this is largely due to Blaziken's strength.

Without a sufficiently strong physique, not all Pokémon can withstand the load and pressure brought about by full acceleration.

As for the fast-swimming frog on the other side...

It was embedded in the wall after being hit by the wave missile.

But its limbs continued to tremble and strain, trying to continue fighting.

"They haven't lost their ability to fight?"

Tetsuya raised an eyebrow.

After observing it closely, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Is it relying on pure willpower? No wonder it's a Fighting-type Pokémon."

The fast-swimming frog, with its eyes tightly closed, clearly didn't seem capable of continuing the fight.

He even made a gesture of exerting force, entirely because of his inner persistence.

"Referee, I concede this round. Please announce the result."

Kajiyama closed his eyes weakly and said this to the referee.

The referee did not hesitate: "The trainer has voluntarily forfeited, Blaziken wins, please proceed to the final battle."

At that moment, he no longer cared about his professional ethics.

Normally, the phrase "the final battle between two sides" cannot be uttered unless it's a third Pokémon fighting a third Pokémon.

but......

After the first two games, the referee really didn't think Kajiyama had any chance of winning.

He did have some basic information about both sides' elves.

"But judging these kinds of matches is really easy."
