Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

The referee was thinking this.

Kajiyama, having reopened his eyes, quickly recalled his Poliwrath and then pulled out his third Pokémon:

"Go, Flaming Horse, let him see our will!"

"Hiss—"

The roar of the fiery horse echoed across the arena.

Having witnessed everything from inside the Poké Ball, it had only one thought.

That is a battle fought with all our might!

Even without a chance of victory, its speed in rushing toward the enemy will not slow down in the slightest.

The fiery mane on its back swayed in the wind, and the horse's hooves rose and fell restlessly.

"Get close and use melee combat."

Facing the Flamehorn, which has the ability to ignite fire, Tetsuya naturally couldn't use fire-type moves against it.

So, if you do the math...

The Fire-type Blaziken barely used any Fire-type moves in this battle.

The only energy-storing flame attack was used to increase speed and close the distance.

He truly is a prime example of someone who doesn't do his job properly.

"Flaming Horse, use High Speed ​​Movement! When it comes to speed, we're not afraid!"

Kajiyama's command was as passionate as ever.

Even viewers who aren't familiar with Pokémon battles could tell he was just putting on a brave face.

A Blaziken at full speed, a Champion-level Blaziken.

Even if the Flame Horse, at the near-Heavenly King level, has the advantage of high-speed movement, under normal circumstances, the speed ratio between the two would probably only be 40/60.

Blaze Horse 4, Blaze Chicken 6.

Besides, his opponent's Blaziken was clearly not in normal condition.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Tetsuya's Blaziken rapidly closed the distance between itself and Rapidash.

"How can we possibly defeat this monster?"

The same thought flashed through the minds of all the remaining contestants.

In their eyes, Kajiyama's strength was truly formidable.

If other players were to go up there, it would most likely be a tough battle.

In other words, under Blaziken's command, these three Pokémon were so weak that they looked no different from ordinary elite-level Pokémon.

In reality, everyone knows that this is just an illusion caused by the opponent's overwhelming strength.

"Down"

On the field, Blaziken, which came up to Rapidash, even had time to say hello.

Long time no see, little bro. You've grown up pretty fast.

"Hiss—"

The fiery horse ignored it completely, and suddenly braked at high speed, raising its incredibly hard front hooves high.

"Boom-"

Blaziken casually caught it with its claws raised.

That's really impolite.

Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite.

Rapidash struggled desperately to break free from Blaziken's claws.

Its hind legs thrashed wildly.

But it serves no purpose other than causing oneself to lose balance.

A sinister smile crept across Blaziken's lips.

A faint white light enveloped its right leg.

"A million-ton kick!"

"boom"

As it kicked out with its right foot, Blaziken released its claws at just the right moment.

Before the fiery horse could even feel the joy of regaining its freedom, it felt a sharp pain in its soft belly.

Like its predecessor, the fast-swimming frog.

The fiery horse flew backward, leaving its own mark on the wall at the edge of the arena.

"Rapidfire is unable to battle, Blaziken wins!"

Kajiyama's three Pokémon have all lost their ability to battle.

The winner of this match is Tetsuya Tamaki!

The referee's decision and the cheers of the audience were mixed together, making it difficult to hear clearly.

Chapter 557 The Silver Decisive Tournament (Edited in one hour)

It took three minutes.

Boss, mission accomplished.

Blaziken walked up to Tetsuya on its own, its arms crossed over its chest, looking quite imposing.

Because of this action, the audience cheered even louder.

"You rascal."

Zhe patted it irritably, "Take it easy!"

That's what they're saying.

But he still enjoyed the cheers from the crowd with Blaziken.

This is the result of their hard work and training, so of course they should appreciate it.

"You're really decisive, aren't you?"

Having comforted himself, Kajiyama had arrived at the entrance of the passage and was waiting for Tetsuya. "Let's go, let's go to Miss Joy's to recover."

"Yes, Blaziken also suffered considerable damage."

Looking at Tetsuya, who was speaking in a way that was clearly asking for a beating, Kajiyama ultimately managed to restrain himself from beating him up.

"He's a superhuman, you can't beat him."

He's a superhuman, you can't beat him!

He's a superhuman, you can't beat him!

Kajiyama frantically reminded himself of this.

Losing a Pokémon battle isn't scary.

To be beaten up in public under some pretext would be a truly infamous scene.

"Shocking! The disciple of the former Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto was beaten up in a fit of rage after losing the battle."

The title alone makes you want to click in.

The two left the arena and soon arrived at the nearby Pokémon Center.

"So, Trainer Tetsuya, your preliminary league for this year's Silver Tournament has ended."

Congratulations on winning two matches, bringing your total points to 6, and successfully advancing to the top 16 of the Silver Tournament.

Please go to the lobby on the 3rd floor of this Pokémon Center the day after tomorrow morning for the draw to determine the schedule for the final tournament.

With a smile, Nurse Joy handed over the Poké Ball containing Blaziken and Tetsuya's Pokédex.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Joey."

Zhe also politely accepted it with both hands.

Yuji walked over.

"The group divisions of the conference were quite interesting; for several groups, the final winner was unknown until the very last moment."

If the scores are tied, the event might be delayed by about half a day.

"This kind of competition is more interesting for the audience."

Moreover, the 1v1 elimination format ends quickly and doesn't waste much time.

Tetsuya replied with a smile.

If anyone actually thinks the grouping is completely random, then they are being quite naive.

to be honest.

Regional conferences serve not only as a means of selecting talent but also as a revenue-generating tool for local alliances.

If it doesn't look good, the income will be far less than expected.

This is not the situation that the managers wanted to see.

Therefore, it is quite normal to make some human intervention in the grouping process.

But that's it.

For trainers, the outcome of a battle ultimately depends on their own strength.

As long as you're strong enough.

The whole "devilish grouping" thing is just a joke.

In other words.

If your skill level isn't enough to get you into the final four, the league doesn't really care about your feelings.

After all, the conference is held every year.

"You still have one more battle to fight, so don't mess it up."

Tetsuya teased Yuuji.

Although losing would result in an awkward situation with three players tied for the same score, Yuji still has a high probability of advancing to the top 16 thanks to his Dragonite strength.

But it doesn't look good on the surface.

"Don't worry, I'm very cautious."

Yuji was full of confidence.

Judging from the group rankings, the opponent he will face tomorrow is the weakest of the three.

If he fails at this, then he can't be considered a genius trainer from the Orange Islands.

And that's exactly what he said.

In the final day of the battle.

Yuji didn't even send out Dragonite; he easily won with just Gengar and Venusaur.

Looking at the messy ground and the thick, thorny vines scattered all over the place, Tetsuya narrowed his eyes: "Crazy plants, huh? Looks like they've put a lot of effort into things back in the Orange Islands."

Back on Twin Islands, Mrs. Brin didn't include Yuuji and his Venusaur among the seven people she chose.

Around that time, the two sides didn't have enough tacit understanding.

However, Mrs. Brin isn't the only one in the world who can teach the ultimate move.

Therefore, it's not too surprising that Yuji's Venusaur can master this move.

"Hey~"

Kajiyama, standing to the side, sighed helplessly.
