Pokémon: Ash's Journey to Mastery

Afterwards, Ash and his friends came to the Pokémon Center to rest, and encountered a passerby and had a battle with him.

Xiaozhi sent out Tapu Fin and easily defeated the opponent's Megalania.

"Ah, long time no see, how are you all?" At this time, a voice came.

"Isn't this Shota?" Xiaozhi turned around and said in surprise.

...

After a round of greetings, I learned that Shota had already obtained the eighth badge. As a newcomer, his progress could be said to be very rapid. He directly surpassed Xiaozhi and overtook him.

From this we can see that Shota is working very hard to catch up with Satoshi!

Then Xiaozhi and Shota started a 3v battle.

"I've seen how much I've improved since my last battle with Satoshi. I want to have another fight under the same conditions."

"okay."

...

"First, the double scabbards. Please."

"The Sword Scabbard we fought before has evolved. In that case, you will be the one to take on the role of the Sonic Dragon." Speaking of which, Sonic Dragon hasn't had any normal battles since it was captured, so Xiaozhi decided to let Sonic Dragon show off his skills.

Elf: Sonic Dragon

Strength: Gym

Qualification: Champion

Ability: Penetrate

"It's evolved over there, so cool, Sonic Dragon."

"You've become stronger. Go ahead, Sonic Dragon Shadow Claw."

The sonic dragon flapped its wings and flew up, letting its claws glow with a dark purple light, making them extremely sharp as it slashed towards the double scabbards.

"Iron wall."

The two scabbards closed together, and at the same time, a silver light appeared on the body. It took the baptism of the Shadow Claw head-on, but soon some injuries appeared on its body.

"Keep attacking Shadow Claw."

"Iron wall."

The double scabbards once again made his body extremely hard, allowing him to withstand the baptism of the Shadow Claw. At the same time, the injuries on his body became even more severe.

"Use the splitting move." Shota was about to start counterattacking.

The double scabbards made his sword blades glow with white light, making them extremely sharp as they spun towards the Sonic Dragon.

"Get out of the way."

The sonic dragon flapped its wings and easily dodged the attack of the double scabbards with its agility.

"Split it again."

"Dragon Claw meets the enemy."

The Sonic Dragon attached emerald green light to its claws, and caught the blades of the double scabbards with its bare hands, then threw him away.

The double scabbards quickly adjusted their postures, stabilizing themselves so that they were suspended at a certain distance from the ground to avoid secondary damage from the ground.

"acrobatics."

"Chop it open."

The Sonic Dragon let its body glow with white light and rushed towards the double scabbards.

The two elves collided with each other, and the Sonic Dragon knocked the double scabbards to the ground, making them unable to fight.

"Thank you, double scabbards." Shota retracted the double scabbards and said comfortingly.

"I accept the experience points," Shota took out a notebook and wrote it down.

"It's your turn, Cannon Shrimp."

A giant blue shrimp appeared on the field.

"I won't lose this time, steel cannon arm shrimp crab claw hammer."

The Steel Cannon Shrimp infused powerful water energy into its large claws, generating a surge of water that hit the Sonic Dragon.

"Use Sonic Blast after avoiding it." Xiaozhi ordered.

The Sonic Dragon flapped its wings and easily dodged the attack from the Cannon Shrimp's huge claws, but the Cannon Shrimp continued to move forward and attacked the Sonic Dragon in the air.

The Sonic Dragon also emitted a strong sound wave to counterattack and hit the Steel Cannon Shrimp that wanted to rush over. The strong sound wave stopped it from using its skills and it fell to the ground.

"Calm down and use the healing wave." Shota looked at the nervousness of the Steel Cannon Shrimp and quickly gave instructions.

Colorful light appears on the body of the Steel Cannon Shrimp, which heals itself and restores its injured strength.

"Crazy Volt."

The Sonic Dragon flashed electric light wildly on his body and charged towards the Cannon Shrimp with great momentum.

"Freezing beam."

The steel cannon shrimp released an icy blue light from its huge claws.

"Oh no, get out of the way quickly." Xiaozhi felt that the situation was not good and quickly gave the order. After all, Sonic Dragon was four times afraid of ice-type moves and would definitely fail.

The Sonic Dragon saw the icy-white beam that was about to hit it, so it quickly flapped its wings to try to escape, and at the critical moment dodged the icy-blue light.

"Dragon Wave."

"Dragon Wave."

The two elves simultaneously spit out dark purple dragon-shaped waves, which collided with each other and bit each other's dragon-shaped waves, producing thick smoke.

"Crazy Volt."

"Dragon Wave."

The Steel Cannon Shrimp infused surging dragon energy into its claws, producing a deep purple dragon-shaped wave.

The Sonic Dragon carried the deep purple dragon-shaped wave and attacked the Steel Cannon Shrimp without slowing down. The attack of the electric current made the Steel Cannon Shrimp feel uncomfortable all over. It felt numb and tingling, and fell directly to the ground.

The Sonic Dragon was not in a much better condition. After struggling for a while, it fell to the ground in a tie. After all, the dragon wave of the super launcher was still very painful for the Sonic Dragon.

"Thank you, Sonic Dragon. You put up a good fight, and Tapu Fin is decided to be yours."

"Thank you for your hard work, Shrimpcrab. You finally defeated Satoshi once." Shota said happily, while comforting his own Pokémon. After all, his efforts were validated.

"I'm counting on you, Lizard King." Shota took out his original and also his strongest Pokémon.

"I will fight with all my strength with the intention of showing you my growth." Shota said with a very serious expression. After all, Satoshi is his admired rival, and he really wants to defeat him.

(Okay, now is just the beginning. I have collected eight badges, but in front of Xiaozhi. If I can't beat Xiaozhi, I want Xiaozhi to acknowledge the evidence of my growth. I have to defeat Xiaozhi to prove this.) I thought firmly in my heart.

"Let's go, Lizard King Leaf Blade." Shota brought his thoughts back to reality and gave the order.

The Lizard King roared and brought his leaves together to form a sharp green blade.

"Let me show you our strength. Come on! Tapu Fins and Frolic." Xiaozhi said confidently.

Tapu Fin's fist collided with the Lizard King's blade, and then both of them fell to the ground.

Tapu Fin then nimbly dodged the Lizard King's blade attack, seized the opportunity and punched him, knocking him back.

"Seed machine gun."

The Lizard King gathered rich grass-type energy in his mouth and continuously fired golden seeds.

"Spray water."

Tapu Fin spewed out a strong stream of water from its mouth, which was fired like a cannonball, offsetting the seeds and producing thick smoke.

"Leaf Blade."

The Lizard King made its leaves extremely sharp and slashed at Tapu Fin, but he jumped away.
