"Roar!!"
The giant rock snake let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
"Onix is unable to battle, Electivire wins!" the referee announced at that moment. "Shigeru has defeated three of Yuuji's Pokémon in a row. Now, let's change the battle field."
"Wow...!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Electric Monster showed a look of pain on its face and fainted.
"Oh! The spell on Electivire has activated again, rendering it unable to fight," the host exclaimed in surprise, noting that this was the first time he had ever seen such a situation.
"You've worked hard, get some rest." Shigeru recalled Electivire, originally planning to defeat Yuuji's two Pokémon so he could recall Electivire.
Although Electivire managed to defeat Yuuji's two Pokémon, it still couldn't catch up in time.
The referee couldn't make a proper ruling, so he simply declared that Shigeru's Electivire had lost and allowed the two to rest in the command area before changing the battlefield.
in the audience.
"Why did Onix throw Electivire out when it already had it tied up?" Ash asked, puzzled.
Ash has fought Onix before and knows that Onix's binding power is extremely strong; if it binds an opponent, it's almost certain death.
"I don't know." Xiao Jian didn't know what was going on either. Although Xiao Jian was an elf observer, his knowledge was not comprehensive.
"Xiaoxia, do you know?" Xiaozhi asked.
"Um... I don't know either." Xiaoxia is only a dabbler herself. She doesn't even know everything about Water-type Pokémon, let alone Pokémon of other types.
Ash is feeling very down. Ever since Brock left, there hasn't been anyone to answer his questions.
...!
Three minutes later, the battleground changed.
"The battleground for the second half is in the grass. In the first half, Gary performed exceptionally well, defeating all three of the top trainer Yuuji's Pokémon, while he himself only lost one Pokémon," the host said. "The second half is about to begin. I wonder if Gary can maintain the form he showed in the first half."
The grassy battleground is fairly normal, similar to a regular battleground, making it quite suitable for Grass-type Pokémon with a base stat of 560 to fight here.
"Please bring your two competitors into the arena," the referee announced.
Upon hearing the sound, Shigeru and Yuuji went up to the command area again.
"The second half of the match will now begin. Head Trainer Yuuji, please release your Pokémon first," the referee announced.
"Venusaur, it's your turn." Yuji threw out the Poké Ball.
Baton!
A giant, bullfrog-like creature appeared. The Venusaur looked just like a bullfrog, with a flowering palm tree growing on its back.
"In the second half of the match, Yuji will first send out Venusaur. I wonder what kind of Pokémon Shigeru will send out to counter him," the host introduced.
【LV54 Venusaur (♂)/Elite Four】
Yuji's strength is decent; the Pokémon he has are all quite powerful, with the lowest being near-Elite Four level and most having Elite Four potential.
"This is your first battle, go for it!" Gary smiled confidently and threw out a Poké Ball.
Baton!
A dazzling flame exploded in the air, drawing the attention of everyone in the Citrus Sports Field.
"Aww!!"
A cry echoed throughout the entire Citrus Sports City, instantly bringing everyone present back to their senses.
"My goodness...! That's Moltres! Shigeru actually sent out the legendary Pokémon Moltres... Unbelievable!!" the host exclaimed in shock.
193: Xiaomao VS Yongji 2
"Oh my god, Moltres!!"
"Just who is this Xiao Shi? How does he manage to possess a Moltres?"
"Shengkou! He actually tamed the Moltres."
"...!"
The audience was stunned. As people of the Orange Islands, the three legendary birds were their totems, and Shigeru had actually tamed their totems. How could they not be surprised?
"Molotov...!" Yuji was also extremely surprised, never expecting that Shigeru would have a Moltres.
Although Gary used Moltres and Articuno on Asia Island, not many people saw it at the time, and Gary also asked those people to keep it a secret. Only the high-ranking officials of the Orange Islands knew about it; ordinary people did not know.
Surprised as he was, the match had to continue. Yuuji realized that the boy in front of him was no ordinary person, unlike any of his previous challengers.
"Venusaur, use Solar Beam!" Yuji commanded.
Because the Orange Islands have a tropical climate, sunny days are considered very sunny, so the Sunshine spell can be cast instantly.
"Okay!"
The corolla on Venusaur's back emitted a white glow, and a beam of white light shot straight into the sky.
"Aww!!"
The mollusk, facing the Sunbeam spell, naturally did not dodge. It opened its beak and spewed out scorching flames, which instantly suppressed the Sunbeam spell and forced it to retreat.
boom! !
Unfortunately, the flames exploded before they could completely suppress Venusaur, but it's clear that Moltres's flames can suppress Venusaur.
"Use Razor Leaf!!" Yuji commanded, and Venusaur immediately launched Razor Leaf. However, Moltres flapped its fiery wings, and gusts of scorching wind swept down, engulfing the Razor Leaf in the heat and instantly turning it to ashes.
"Bana!" Venusaur cried out in pain, as it too was struck by the hot air and suffered considerable damage.
Moltres not only has a type advantage over Venusaur, but it can also fly. The clumsy Venusaur is like a tank, strong on land, but a sitting duck when faced with aerial attacks.
"Big Flame Burst!" Gary continued his fierce attack, Moltres spewed out Big Flame, and Venusaur immediately countered with Solar Beam.
Boom! ! !
The impact of the explosion tore off the grass on the field, and the strong wind blew Venusaur's body away. If Venusaur hadn't been so heavy, it might have been blown away.
"Venusaur, use Leaf Storm!" Yuji went all out, directly using Venusaur's strongest move at the moment.
Leaf Storm is a powerful Grass-type move with a power of 130, but it has a side effect: after use, the Pokémon's Special Attack will decrease by 2 stages, and the more times it is used, the lower its power will be.
"Bana!"
Venusaur stirred up a storm, and a green tornado shot straight into the sky, attacking Moltres.
Shigeru, of course, wouldn't let Moltres dodge, and commanded, "Take the challenge head-on, use Overheat!"
Overheat is the same move as Leaf Storm, with a power of 130, and even the side effects are the same.
"Aww!!"
Moltres unleashed a crimson beam of light, sparks flying from its surface. The two attacks collided in mid-air, locked in a stalemate for several seconds, before the crimson beam pierced through Leaf Storm and exploded in front of Venusaur.
Boom! !
The intense heat of the explosion spread, knocking Venusaur to the ground. After being repeatedly struck by the explosion, Venusaur could no longer withstand it, and its eyes began to dart around.
"Venusaur is unable to battle, Moltres wins!" the referee announced.
"Venusaur has been defeated. As expected of a legendary Pokémon, Moltres's flames are incredibly powerful!" the host exclaimed.
"What? This Shigeru is too strong, he's completely dominating Yuuji."
"Yeah, if it weren't for Gengar's curse, Yuuji wouldn't even be able to beat one of Gary's Pokémon. Why wasn't I as good as Gary back then?"
"A trainer who can capture a legendary Pokémon is terrifying. I really look forward to the day when Gary steps onto the world stage."
"...!"
Moltres's powerful performance instantly drew the attention of the audience.
At first, the audience was very optimistic about Yuuji, but they did not expect Shigeru to be so brave, defeating four of Yuuji's Pokémon in a row. If it weren't for the curse, he would not have lost a single Pokémon.
"Yuji only has two Pokémon left now, one is a Dragonite, and we don't know what the other one is, so it's going to be hard for him to turn the tide," Xiaojian analyzed.
"Gary's strength has increased again." Ash felt this most keenly, noticing that Gary was much stronger than during the Indigo League.
"Ash, you should worry about your battle with Yonex later. Yonex is no pushover," Misty reminded him.
"I know, I've already decided on the team I'll challenge. Now let me see just how strong Yūji's Dragonite is," Ash said.
"Yuji is in trouble. I don't know who will be sent out as the fifth Pokémon."
With that, Yuuji threw out a Poké Ball.
"please!"
Baton!
"Roar...!"
A gigantic Gyarados appeared, possessing the Intimidate ability, which lowered Moltres's Attack stat.
【LV53 Gyarados (♂) / Quasi-Elite Four】
"Molotov, come back." Gary is determined to completely defeat Yuuji; each Pokémon only needs to fight once.
In particular, Electivire had to defeat two of Yuuji's Pokémon, leaving Gary with one Pokémon that didn't get a chance to fight.
"Shigeru has recalled his Pokémon again. It seems that every time Yuuji sends out a new Pokémon, Shigeru replaces it. Is Shigeru aiming to completely defeat Yuuji?" the host wondered.
The host is quite intelligent; he saw through Xiao Shi's thoughts. Unfortunately, a complete victory is impossible, since Electabuzz has already been defeated.
"Blastoise, it's your turn!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball.
Baton!
"Kami!"
Gary's ace Pokémon Blastoise makes its appearance.
"What! Shigeru has sent out Blastoise!!" the host exclaimed.
(After getting Zhao) Before, Xiao Mao's Pokémon selection was somewhat methodical. Even if he didn't send out Pokémon that were super effective against him, he wouldn't send out Pokémon that could directly counter him. But how can a Water-type fight against another Water-type?
"Huh! How come Gary is just like Ash?" Misty exclaimed in surprise.
"What do you mean by 'just like me'?" Ash asked, puzzled.
