Pokemon: Release? Nonexistent

Chapter 1673 Qualifiers

(Third update!! Please collect and send flowers!!)

Early the next morning, all participating Trainers received the news.

Everyone has to go to different battle venues to compete in the qualifiers. There are too many people participating. In this qualifier, everyone has to compete in three one-on-one battles.

Akin and others had already set off, and the three of Ash, under the guidance of the staff, also arrived at the competition site.

There were probably dozens of venues in the entire venue, and each venue was surrounded by an iron net. At this time, fierce battles were going on in each venue.

The location where Ash is located is the waiting area, and there are many Trainers who are not competing next to them, and they are all waiting anxiously.

"Attention! Players Ash from Pallet Town and Salvadore from Cherrygrove City, please enter venue C!"

At this moment, the radio rang, and after hearing his name, Ash spoke at the same time.

"gone!"

Ash didn't say much and walked directly towards the venue, Xiaogang and Misty immediately followed.

Soon I arrived at venue C and found that the other party was already in the venue. He was a boy about the same age as me.

Ash entered the field, while Xiaogang and Misty watched from outside the iron net.

"Then, now, the third match in Area C of the qualifiers, between player Ash from Pallet Town and player Salvadore from Cherrygrove City, starts now!"

"Both sides adopt a one-on-one rule, and one round determines the outcome, so now we must first decide the order of attack!"

After the two people arrived on the field, the referee began to explain the rules after confirming the identities of both parties. As the rules were explained, ten dartboard-like discs in the center of the two people's heads began to rotate on the screen next to the field.

There are two colors of green and red on it, and the background of the two people's avatars corresponds to the two colors.

Ash is on the green side, and the opponent is on the red side. As the turntable rotates, whichever color it finally stops on represents which side attacks first.

“It’s finally started, I’m so nervous!”

Compared with the previous gym challenges, although the gym trainers also have many powerful trainers, the ones here are all trainers who have overcome more than eight gyms.

"Ash should be fine."

Xiaogang himself is a gym trainer, so he is still confident about Ash's strength.

Bang!!!

Soon, the roulette wheel in the center of the field stopped and finally settled on the green square.

"Ash player attacks first, then the game begins now!"

Upon seeing this, the referee immediately raised the flag in his hand, announced the first mover qualification, and at the same time signaled both sides to send out Pokémon.

"Okay! This first game is going to be handed over to my most trusted partner, go Furrret!!"

As soon as the game started, Salvadore on the opposite side immediately threw a Poké Ball.

The light flickered and a mole-like Pokémon appeared in front of me.

Chang's body, after landing on the ground, used its hind legs to support the body and stood up. It is the evolved form of Furrret, a Pokémon Sentret that is relatively common in the Johto Region.

Its positioning is similar to that of Xiaolabo and Lada in Kanto Region.

"Pikachu, go ahead!"

In the first game, Ash looked directly at Pikachu. In this first game, Ash decided to hand it over to Pikachu.

Pickup!!

Pikachu nodded seriously, then jumped off Ash's shoulders and lay on the ground, full of fighting spirit, with electricity constantly coming out of his face.

"Pikachu Thunderbolt!!"

Because he was qualified to attack first, Ash was not polite and directly gave the order to attack.

Pika~~~Qiu!!!

Pikachu jumped up, strong electric current appeared on his body, and with a roar, Thunderbolt's energy exploded instantly.

"Furrret uses Double Team!"

Facing Pikachu's fierce attack, Salvadore on the opposite side also issued orders at the same time.

After Furrret heard the sound, he quickly shook his body. In an instant, his entire body spread out, and several figures appeared.

Thunderbolt's attack passed through a clone and hit the ground instantly. The explosion instantly stirred up bursts of dust.

Soon, the Double Team spread out and directly surrounded Pikachu, forming a circle. Pikachu also looked around to find Furrret's true body.

…please give me flowers…0

"Sure enough, none of the Trainers who can reach this point are fuel-efficient!" Xiaogang said at the same time as he watched this scene.

“Furret use Swift now!”

At this time, borrowing Double Team's confusion, Salvadore spoke again.

Boo hoo hoo!!!

After hearing the sound, Furrret suddenly opened his mouth, spit out many golden stars, and headed in the direction of Pikachu.

All the clones acted together, and the scene was instantly dazzled, making it even more difficult to tell where Furrret was.

"Pika Papow!"

Ash looked calm, since he couldn't find it, he wouldn't look for it.

Pika~~~Qiu!!!

Listening to Ash's voice, Pikachu suddenly clenched his fists, and strong lightning energy burst out from his body.

.....O

Boom boom!!!

The roaring power exploded, and a bolt of lightning rose from Pikachu's body. At the same time, the lightning beam expanded around Pikachu's body.

Most of the surrounding Swifts are smoke bombs released by clones, which dissipate directly after touching lightning.

At this time, the Swift that came behind Pikachu continued to explode when it encountered lightning. There was no doubt that that was where the real body was.

However, Ash did not let Pikachu stop attacking, and the power of thunder and lightning continued to expand.

Swift's power is not as powerful as Pika Papow, and cannot withstand the ferocious thunder and lightning attack in front of her.

"What?! Furrret uses Dig!"

Looking at the situation in front of him, Salvadore looked surprised, looked at the attack in front of him, and quickly spoke to Furrret.

After receiving the order, Furrret quickly rushed towards the Ground, dug up a Cave in an instant, and then entered the Cave with his entire body.

Ouch!!!

Furrret disappeared from the field through Dig and escaped the lightning attack. Pikachu also slowly stopped his attack and looked around.

"Come on Furrret!"

Seeing Pikachu stop attacking, Salvadore spoke again, only to see Furrret rush out from the ground behind Pikachu and directly hit Pikachu.

PS: By the way, Furrret is a Normal type, right? I don’t know why, but the translation in the anime says it is a Ground type scarf. .
