Xiaozhi's Pokémon Pigeon

In the past, it was unlikely that a "king" would compete against another "king" in the battle of the top 16.

In the end, the most suspenseful battle was saved for last, but today's battle between Xiaozhi and Aoki broke this rule.

The two of them are equally strong, and both are just one step away from reaching the standard king strength like A Liu. In this battle, whoever can break through first will win.

As for Aoki, although Warrior Eagle is not his best Pokémon, it also follows Aoki's usual flawless style and focuses on balance.

On Ash's side, Stotle's strength increased after evolution, and the increase in its physical size also allowed it to perform more precise operations. It may not be as average as Brave Eagle, but it has its own expertise.

The huge rocky area had completely turned into a hunting ground in the eyes of Aoki and Xiaozhi.

"Turtle, "Spin!"

Stottle immediately retracted itself into its shell and began to rotate within the entire rocky area. The rotation of Stottle generated a strong centrifugal force, causing gravel and dust to be stirred up.

The Warrior Eagle still has the advantage in the air, so if you want to get close, you can only let Stottle use high-speed rotation to block its vision.

"Warrior Eagle, "Follow the Wind"!"

Aoki could sense Xiaozhi's thoughts, so his approach was relatively simple:

First, the weather created by the "Tailwind" skill can increase the speed of the Warrior Eagle and give it the first move.

Secondly, the weather created by the "Tailwind" skill can use air currents to blow away the dust raised by Squirtle and accelerate the evaporation of water on the wings of the Warrior Eagle, regaining the Warrior Eagle's air advantage.

Finally, even if Warrior Eagle loses to Ash's Stottle, as long as there is a "tailwind" weather, the Pokémon that takes over will not lose the initiative, thus achieving three goals at one stroke.

Upon hearing Aoki's order, the warrior eagle spread its wings and was about to use the "blowing" tactic.

Xiaozhi immediately changed his tactics:

"Squirtle, use your tail to hit the rock at Warrior Eagle in the smoke."

The "tailwind" field cannot allow Aoki's Warrior Eagle to be successfully deployed, and Xiaozhi does not want to lose the initiative.

Taking advantage of the smoke and haze, the Stottle on the ground stretched out its limbs and head again, and relying on its sense, it roughly anchored the direction of the Warrior Eagle. Then it used its tail to break off the protruding rocks on the ground and swept towards the Warrior Eagle in the sky like a cannonball.

"Water Tail"!

Ash's Stottle doesn't know any rock-type skills, but it can use "Water Tail" and the rocks on the ground to simulate rock-type skills.

At this moment, the Warrior Eagle cannot fly too high because of the moisture on its wings, and the "Rocket Headbutt" also breaks the Warrior Eagle's "stand-in".

Under such conditions, as long as there are enough flying rocks, it is possible to hit the target.

"Warrior Eagle, take it, "Follow the Wind"!"

Another injury for an injury, but Xiaozhi doesn't think Aoki is a trainer who would use Pokémon as tools:

Now the Warrior Eagle's wet wings are not very effective against the overwhelming rubble from Squirtle, so it is better to stay where it is and continue to "go with the wind" to minimize the damage.

Not long after the Warrior Eagle spread its wings, several pieces of gravel like cannonballs fell on its body, but the Warrior Eagle gritted its teeth and said nothing.

This is the way adults fight, and it is the determination to "hold on" even in the face of life's hardships.

“It’s ‘tailwind’ now!”

Aoki was rarely in high spirits. At this moment, he was not the professional Palu of the Padia League, but Aoki who had regained the heart of a young trainer.

Along with the change in sky pressure, a strong airflow appeared, which deflected the rocks attacking the Warrior Eagle, dried the water on the Warrior Eagle's wings, and even caused dark clouds to appear in a small area in the sky.

Good wind, help me soar into the sky!

The Warrior Eagle has a few scars on his body at this moment, but it doesn’t matter:

The "tailwind" blew away the smoke on the ground, and under the smoke, the Warrior Eagle saw the shiny blue bald head.

You beat me just now and it was fun. Now it’s my turn to enjoy myself...

"Tearing Claws!"

A white luster appeared on the Warrior Eagle's claws, and with the help of wind speed, the Warrior Eagle swooped down on Stottle like a bomber.

"Turtle, use..."

Xiaozhi was just about to let Stotle use "Water Gun" or "Water Cannon" to adjust its position to avoid Warrior Eagle's "Rippling Claws", but Warrior Eagle had already arrived in front of Stotle.

The pair of sharp claws slashed hard on Stottle's chest!

Although Stottle's speed increases after using "Shell Breaking", it is still not as fast as Warrior Eagle's speed after using "Tailwind" - if we analyze it based on the numbers, Stottle and Warrior Eagle both have 36 points at this time. The difference is that Warrior Eagle has 9 points in each item, while Stottle only has 13 points in reaction speed, and the other numbers are not as high as Warrior Eagle.

At that moment, Warrior Eagle knocked Squirtle away. The powerful force created wind blades that even shattered the protruding stone pillars in the surrounding rocky area.

Although Stottle was severely injured, it was still within Stottle's tolerance range.

While being knocked flying, Stottle opened his eyes, faced the direction where the Warrior Eagle was flying, retracted his limbs and head into his shell, and used the "Water Gun" again.

But this time, before Aoki's order was given, Warrior Eagle had made his own judgment. It rushed directly towards Stottle's "Water Cannon" with the help of the tailwind. Because the "tailwind" was still there, even a high-powered move like "Water Cannon" would be weakened by the airflow.

Warrior Eagle knew that he and Squirtle were on par in strength, so he had to seize the opportunity and launch a fierce attack.

When people reach middle age, everything is over. They must seize every opportunity to move forward and make something of themselves!

"Kami!"

Card Stottle didn't expect that the Warrior Eagle would be so tough and would fight directly at it, not giving it any chance to organize an attack.

This kind of enemy is really scary. After all, Stotle is a maneuverable creature. He needs room to maneuver to bring out his advantages. Enemies like Warrior Eagle, whose every move seems to be a desperate one, are the scariest for Stotle.

There is no room for maneuver at all!

Warrior Eagle faced the "Water Cannon" and used "Ripping Claw" to hit Squirtle's chest hard, but this time it was not over yet:

The Warrior Eagle did not intend to withdraw its strength. It grabbed Stottle's body and slammed it into a protruding rock pillar.

Bedrock!

This is a move that appeared in the animation when middle-aged men were young. Vegeta has to eat the rock plate, and you, Squirtle, should also enjoy it since your color matching is the same as Vegeta.

Stottle was not eliminated because of the temporary defense of its shell, but staying inside the shell was not a solution. What's more important is that it could hear a very dangerous sound. This sound was as if it was squeezing against the wall, trying to turn it into tortoise jelly.

The brain of Card Stottle hiding in the turtle shell is still thinking frantically. It is very sure what Warrior Eagle is thinking at this moment. If it were him, he would make the same judgment. But what should Card Stottle do in this situation?
