Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

The harsh sound of metal and the disturbing roars bombarded the arena for several minutes.

The concept of [Special Attack Decrease], reflected in reality, is equivalent to the channel for the Pokémon's own power release being sealed, and it cannot exert its full strength for a short period of time.

This causes the power of the skills used to be greatly reduced.

This made the Zapdos in the sky very uncomfortable, as it had all the electricity but was unable to use it.

But at the same time...Banguilas on the ground felt that the solid armor on his body was about to be destroyed.

The sandstorm weather that used to be as refreshing as a spring breeze now feels like a blunt knife cutting flesh when it blows on your body!

(Pokémon trivia: Weather attacks are non-attribute damage, do not take into account special defense or physical defense, and HP is deducted in a fixed ratio)

"Roar loudly!"

Xiaoyou covered her ears and continued shouting.

"flash--!"

"Eh?"

Xiaoyou seemed to hear some new lines while he was in a daze.

Bangilas had his head raised, staring and roaring at the lightning in the sky.

As a result, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the lightning bird in the sky!

"Ugh—it's so blinding!"

"Help! I want a refund!"

"Where's the magic wall puppet? Hurry up and save it!"

The audience closed their eyes and raised their hands to block the dazzling light in the sky.

Not only did the air barrier fail to block the flash, but it acted like a large lens, making the flash that passed through the barrier even more dazzling!

"Barry..."

The magic wall puppet turned its back, supported the air wall with one hand, whistled and looked as if it had nothing to do with it.

No matter how much you shout, it's useless. Its walls are transparent and there's no way to save it this time.

"Take advantage of now——Air Blade!"

Wang Yao's mouth twitched.

"Fura!"

The wings of the Zapdos rolled up wind blades as sharp as blades, and took advantage of the moment when Bangilas closed his eyes to accurately slash the opponent's chest.

There was already a charred mark there, which was a new scar left after the opponent was hit by the electromagnetic cannon and 100,000 volts in succession!

Swish-!

The wind blade cut through.

A knowing blow!

"Ow—!"

Bangilas covered his chest and half-knelt on the ground in an instant.

"Shit! -Banguiras!"

"Stand up quickly!"

Xiaoyou shouted hurriedly.

"Too late - give it one last blow!"

Wang Yao shouted.

"thunder!"

“Fuu——!”

The lightning bird flapped its wings, drawing a flash of lightning from the clouds...

Although the power was much smaller than the usual thunder, Bangilas, who was kneeling on the ground at this time, was full of flaws!

Zizzi——!

boom!

The lightning struck and electrocuted Bangilas through and through!

"Banjiras!"

Xiaoyou's Rejuvenating Roar seems to be still on CD.

zizi...

After the lightning faded... the referee wearing sunglasses took out his earphones and walked into the field.

"Banquilas cannot fight - the winner of this round is contestant Ayao!"

After walking up to Bangilas and checking him, the referee decisively raised the green flag in his hand.

"..."

Xiaoyou sighed and silently took back Bangilas.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Holding Banjiras's Poké Ball, Xiaoyou knew that he had lost.

If he cannot defeat Zapdos, then all the tactics and targeted team configurations he has made will be meaningless.

But... he couldn't just give up. As a trainer, he couldn't fall before his Pokémon.

This is the main venue of the Quartz Conference and the stage for trainers from all over Kanto to realize their dreams!

"Go--Rada!"

With this belief, Xiaoyou threw out his fifth Poké Ball!

The yellowish-brown fur is glossy and shiny, and the long whiskers and steel-sharp incisors make the whole mouse look energetic.

This is a very well bred Lada.

But that's about it.

Relying on speed to dodge attacks, using proud fangs to pierce armor...

In Xiaoyou's plan, Rada's opponent should have been a giant crab with a hard crab shell.

"The front teeth must be killed!"

"Brave Bird Attack!"

But... Shushu eventually fell on the way to charge.

Beep——!

Another light behind me went out.

After taking back Rattata which was also embedded in the wall, Xiaoyou showed his last Pokémon.

"Go—Jollibee!"

At this point, Xiaoyou's six Pokémon were all revealed in front of the camera.

Giganotosaur, Triceratops, Venusaur, Bankiras, Raida, and Jolteon.

Among them are childhood playmates who started out from the town together, as well as important new friends made during the journey.

At this moment - he is not fighting alone!

"One hundred thousand volts!"

Jolteon's hair stood on end like needles, and he crouched down, ready to strike.

……

Three minutes later.

Beep——!!!

"The giant mantis has lost its ability to fight - the final winner of this game is... contestant A Yao from Red Lotus Island!"

The referee raised his left hand holding the green flag.

It is as conspicuous as the left claw of a giant crab raised high in the arena.

"oh--!!!"

"fantastic!"

"Refund!"

“Wuhu——!”

There was a wave of cheers and enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Except for some low-quality spectators in the front row, everyone was immersed in this exciting Pokémon battle.

……

Step down from the podium.

“Failure is the main theme of life—just try harder next time.”

Wang Yao didn't know when a new straw hat appeared in his hand.

"……Thanks."

Xiaoyou still wanted to cry, but this time he held back.

Wang Yao lowered his head, grabbed Xiaoyou's hand that was raised above her head and shook it.

Then he put the straw hat on the other person's long purple hair.

The straw hat was a little big, so Xiaoyou raised his hand to straighten it.

"It's up to you from now on."

Wang Yao left a few words, turned around and waved to the audience, then slowly walked off the field amid cheers.

……

"Wow—so cold!"

Shizuka tried to eat the whole scoop of ice cream in one bite like Wang Yao did.

But as soon as she put it in her mouth, she felt a piercing nerve pain in her forehead.

"Who can swallow it in one gulp like you? Can you learn from me? - Elegance!"

Wang Yao deliberately pretended to be pretentious. He picked up the ice cream spoon with two fingers, scooped a small piece and put it into his mouth.

Bang bang bang!

Shizuka opened her mouth and blew out air to relieve the pain, then raised her hand and silently gave the culprit a round of bullet punches.

"Don't fight! Don't fight!"

Wang Yao dodged by leaning sideways.

"Look—Xiaoyou's interview has begun!"

Wang Yao pointed at the TV hanging above the restaurant corridor and changed the subject.

"Hmm...it really is."

Shizuka looked up and said to the little loli with purple hair and a straw hat on TV.

As one of the three favorites to win the championship, and having personally sent off another favorite to win the championship... Xiaoyou has always been a high priority in the eyes of the news media.

However, in order to avoid exposing himself, he always covered his face with a mask and sunglasses and never accepted interviews from reporters.

And today, after the semi-finals, he not only accepted interviews from reporters, but also showed his face in public for the first time.

"Hello everyone - I am Xiaoyou from Girls Town."

Xiaoyou in the picture has changed into a neutral green sportswear.

The word "Kanto" was printed in white letters in the middle of the clothes.

Taking off the straw hat given by the winner, Xiaoyou revealed her waist-length purple hair.

"——As you can see, I am a boy!"

"Hmm? Ah!?"

The reporters' confusion and shock were comparable to those of the people of Kanto who were watching the live broadcast.
