It all started with Team Rocket

"After yesterday's day of competition, many contestants who signed up for the competition decided on the final top 32 after fierce battles. Well, without further ado, let's start the 32-to-16 competition. All contestants, please ask the staff. We will guide you to the battle venue, and the game will begin soon~"

Following the host's words, the contestants who advanced to the top 32 began to make final preparations according to the guidance of the staff.

Time passed by minute by minute, and each game was carried out in an orderly manner.The exciting competition continued to arouse cheers and applause from the surrounding audience, and the atmosphere around them became increasingly high.

"The next battle will be between Okita Yushi and Hiro. Please prepare in the waiting area."

After hearing the staff's prompt, Youshi stood up and prepared to go to the waiting area.

Also standing up like him was a boy wearing a yellow basket and white hat, who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.It has blue eyes and brown hair, and a Pikachu stands on its shoulders.

Noticing Yushi's gaze, Hiro also looked over. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Yushi turned and left.

"Hey~ I still want to say hello." Hiro scratched his head awkwardly, and then said to Pikachu on his shoulder.

"Pickup~pi~"

"Don't worry, Ren, I won't take it lightly. I still have to rely on you for the next game!"

Looking at Yushi's leaving figure, Hiro said cautiously.Although he is young and sometimes prone to impulsiveness, his basic qualities as a trainer are still passable.

He would never underestimate any opponent, not to mention that he had seen Yushi command Nidoran in the battle on the beach before, and knew that this was not an easy opponent.

"Let's go too, Ren~" Hiro tightened the hat on his head and said.

"Pi~ka!"

……

"The next match will be between Okita Yushi and Hiro. Please get your players in position."

As the sound of the broadcast came, Yushi followed the instructions step by step and walked towards his battle area.

"Both players please send out elves at the same time, let the game begin!" As Yushi and Hiro took their positions, the referee also gave the order to start the battle.

"Go ahead~ Ren!"

"Leave it to you, Nidoran!"

Yushi and Hiro sent out elves at the same time. The poison-type Nidoran fought against the electric-type Pikachu. There was no obvious restraint in terms of attributes.

"Ren, there's a flash of lightning!" Hiro was in a high mood and shouted to attack.

"Nidoran, gather your energy! Then block it!" Youshi commanded calmly.

When Pikachu used Lightning Flash to quickly approach, Nidoran very calmly used Qi Gathering to greatly improve his concentration and insight.

Nidoran's eyes were fixed on Pikachu opposite, and the horns on his head moved gently up, down, left, and right in accordance with Pikachu's movements, always aiming in Pikachu's direction.

"Bang~"

Pikachu's electric light flashed and hit Nidoran hard, making a dull sound.

Nidoran staggered slightly from the impact, took two steps back, and shook his slightly dizzy head.

Pikachu also felt uncomfortable, because Nidoran kept staring at it and put its head and horns in the front when it was put on, so it suffered a lot of back injuries.

After the collision, it bounced back and fell to the ground, looking much more embarrassed than Nidoran.

"Bump!"

Of course Yushi would seize this opportunity and command Nidoran to counterattack.

Long-term training has made Nidoran's outer armor very tough. After taking two steps back to remove the impact, he was only slightly dizzy from the impact on his head.

Upon hearing Yushi's order, Nidoran quickly adjusted his posture, pointed his sharp horn at Pikachu, and then crashed towards it.

"Pikachu is in a big crisis~" The host at the scene also loudly told the audience about the situation on the field.

"Ren! Get out of the way!"

Looking at the situation on the field, Hiro couldn't help shouting. He didn't expect that his situation would become unfavorable from the beginning.

Pikachu, who heard the trainer's voice, stood up and shook his head, shouting "Pika! Pika!" to comfort his trainer.

Following the trainer's instructions, Pikachu endured the physical discomfort and quickly moved aside, trying to avoid Nidoran's attack.

"too naive!"

Sure enough, as Yushi finished speaking, Nidoran, who had been narrowly avoided by Pikachu, actually made a [-]-degree turn during the collision and hit Pikachu hard.

Ever since Yushi asked Nidoran to strengthen the strength of his hind limbs, Nidoran has not relaxed.

Originally it was just to lay the foundation for Nidoking's evolution, but as he practiced, he discovered that the strong and powerful hind limbs could allow Nidoking to forcibly change direction during rapid impacts.

At first, I could only deflect a little. After hard training, I can now barely make a ninety-degree turn.

Just now was a perfect performance by Nidoran. When his opponent thought he had escaped the attack and relaxed his vigilance, he used his forelimbs to support his body, then kicked the ground hard with his right hind limb, quickly exerting force and forcibly changing the direction of impact.

"Frozen Light!"

Pikachu, who hadn't yet stood up, was perfectly hit by Nidoran's freezing beam, which followed him. He screamed in pain and fell down.

"Ren~"

"Pikachu loses the ability to fight, Nidoran wins!" The referee on the sidelines waved his flag and made the decision.

"Player Hiro, please change the elf."

"Come back, Renn, you did a good job. The rest is all up to you, Jiang Ben~"

With that said, Hiro threw the Poke Ball in his hand, and a very imposing Charmander appeared on the field.

"Wowee~"

"Wow~ Player Hiro's second elf sent out Charmander. How will Player Yushi respond next? Let me wait and see~"

The host was still explaining and stimulating the atmosphere as always, and the appearance of the very popular Charmander in the Kanto region really attracted the attention of many people.

"Nidoran, poison needle attack!"

Yushi ordered Nidoran to test the strength of his opponent first.

"Jiang Ben, spray flames!"

Hiro quickly commanded the Charmander to fight back. The strong fire energy gathered at the Charmander's mouth and was immediately spit out by it.

The raging flames swallowed up the poisonous needle in an instant, and then continued to rush towards Nidoran with unabated force.

"Dig a hole!"

Nidoran quickly dug a hole and dived underground, avoiding the jet flames.

"Ben, watch your surroundings, wrap yourself in smoke, and then use the cry."

Hiro knew that his Charmander currently had no good way to deal with his underground opponents, so he had no choice but to choose defense.
