Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 448 Giovanni: You're using the Pokémon I developed against me?
Right now, Li Xuan tricked Giovanni into summoning four Pokémon.

It didn't cause much harm, but it was still quite annoying.

"Scorpion King, a sneak attack on vital points."

Banmu spoke calmly.

Scorpion King suddenly turned around, its pincers emitting an ominous black glow, and slashed fiercely at Mewtwo!

"Avoid it and then use the Freeze Punch."

Mewtwo's figure suddenly blurred, and the next second it appeared behind Gliscor like a ghost.

Its three ball-shaped fingers gathered a bone-chilling cold air, and a freezing fist slammed down!

Boom boom! ! !

Scorpion King had no time to react and took the heavy blow squarely to his back, the frost instantly spreading throughout his body!
Four times restraint!
Mewtwo needs to charge up moves like Ice Beam and Blizzard, while Ice Punch can be used instantly. In situations like this, Ice Punch is definitely the best choice.

This is not.

Mewtwo's punch nearly took away half of Gliscor's life.

This is also why Mewtwo's strength is inherently higher than Gliscor's.

If nothing unexpected happens, after a few more hits, the Scorpion King will also lose its fighting ability and be unable to continue fighting.

"Gym Leader Li Xuan's Pokémon is exceptionally talented, possessing abilities that ordinary Pokémon cannot match. Not bad."

Giovanni clapped, not because his Gliscor was bad, but because Mewtwo was too powerful.

Despite being outmatched, Giovanni was secretly pleased to see Mewtwo's power working so well in Li Xuan's hands.

The stronger Mewtwo is, the stronger the first-generation Mewtwo was.

The first generation Mewtwo was invented and created by Team Rocket, and is an unyielding being.

Well, let's take this opportunity to see what kind of commands Li Xuan will issue next.

Taking this opportunity to learn something is definitely a good idea.

Banmu no longer cared about winning or losing. As long as he could take this opportunity to get what he wanted, he was willing to give the victory to Li Xuan.

He understood the stakes involved. It was just a dojo competition, so what if Li Xuan won?
As the leader of the Rockets, would he lack these resources?
Obviously not.

Perhaps he can take this opportunity, as the dojo master, to get closer to Li Xuan.

Banmu thought about it a lot.

At this moment, he had already decided what he should do in this battle.

"Scorpion King, Sprinkle Water!"

That's right, the command given by Giovanni was Satsuki!

"?"

Seeing Banmu resorting to such underhanded tactics again, Li Xuan truly couldn't understand Banmu anymore.

Is that how you play?
Plate and Wood, are you going to destroy Pokémon battles?!
But that's okay.

It's not some heinous or immoral move.

This presents a perfect opportunity for Mewtwo to defeat Gliscor directly.

"Hey hey!"

Scorpion King crashed heavily to the ground, enduring the pain as he channeled ground energy into the earth's surface.

Countless sharp rock spikes burst from the ground, covering the entire battlefield!
"Mewtwo, finish it off in one go! Use Blizzard!"

A burst of blue light flashed in Mewtwo's eyes, and a blizzard roared in like a glacier pouring down!

The extreme cold and icy dust instantly engulfed the Scorpion King's figure, silencing the world.

The raging sandstorm subsided quietly under the absolute low temperatures, leaving only the soft sound of ice crystals falling to the ground, a sound that tugs at the heartstrings.

When the blizzard subsided.

The Scorpion King, now an ice sculpture, fell backward with a loud "thud," and then everyone fell silent.

The Poison Healing Gliscor was killed by Mewtwo before it could even heal its wounds.

can only say.

Mewtwo's stats are indeed generous.

"Glitter is unable to battle. Please have Gym Leader Giovanni bring out the next Pokémon."

"I didn't expect Gym Leader Giovanni's Gliscor to be unable to continue battling so quickly. It seems he's paving the way for future Pokémon! Mr. Mushroom, what are your thoughts on Gym Leader Giovanni's tactics?"

Xiaozhou pointed the microphone at Mushroom TV, wanting to hear what guesses this battle-savvy trainer would have.

"Setting up entry hazards is a tactic that many battling trainers are good at. I've never seen Gym Leader Giovanni use this tactic before. Either he's very good at hiding it, and I don't usually encounter any trainers who can use this tactic against him, or he just recently learned it and is using it to practice."

"Personally, I'm inclined to believe that Gym Leader Giovanni is hiding something. After all, Hippowdon really gave Gym Leader Li Xuan a lot of trouble at the very beginning. Judging from Gym Leader Li Xuan's reaction, it seems that there isn't a Pokémon in his team that has learned Taunt."

"That's why the owner of the Banmu Museum is so confident in giving orders."

GuliTV's explanation was quite long, and many viewers suddenly understood after hearing it.

Indeed.

Li Xuan excels at fast attacks, but he might not be able to take down tanky Pokémon like this.

For Itagaki, you can just use moves like blowing him away.

We can slowly deplete the Pokémon's stamina on Li Xuan's side.

"Mewtwo, do you still want to fight?"

Li Xuan roughly realized that Banmu was trying to stall him.

He also wanted to see how he could command Mewtwo, and Giovanni would copy that approach later.

Li Xuan was now being used as a free power leveler by Banmu.

How could Li Xuan possibly accept something like this?

So just ask Mewtwo directly to see what it thinks.

"also."

Mewtwo chose to float back and stand beside Li Xuan as his bodyguard.

Seeing Li Xuan's choice, Xiao Zhou was somewhat surprised and began to speculate: "Oh? I didn't expect Gym Leader Li Xuan to recall Mewtwo. Is he trying to conserve its strength so that it won't be defeated by Gyrocopter in one fell swoop?"

In a six-on-six situation, it's possible for one wheel to be replaced.

Therefore, it's perfectly understandable that Li Xuan would change his Pokémon at this time.

"Blazing Chicken, please do it one more time."

Li Xuan once again sent out Super Blaziken.

Bang!

As soon as it touched the ground, Super Blaziken's foot was pricked by a pile of hidden diamonds.

At the same time, countless rocks appeared around him and bombarded him.

After the attack, Super Blaziken was slightly injured.

"Tsk."

Losing health right after entering the game is somewhat frustrating.

If I didn't lack Pokémon capable of clearing entry hazards in my team, I would have cleared them out first.

Giovanni's side sent out the Pokémon Cyndaquil's Admiral – Garchomp.

Pokémon: Garchomp

[Attributes: dragon, ground]

【Level: 73】

[Characteristics: rough skin]

【Moves: Omitted.】

The rough skin provides excellent protection against close-range combat.

"Blizzard, watch out for Garchomp's movements. Let's probe with Flamethrower first."

Li Xuan had never battled Garchomp before, so he decided to let Mega Blaziken test the waters.

"Pinch!"

Super Blaziken took a deep breath, and the heat around it suddenly compressed into a blazing white line of fire, which blasted towards Garchomp like a high-tech particle cannon!

"Garuda, Sandstorm!" Garuda neither dodged nor evaded, its claws slamming into the ground.

The sandstorm soared into the sky, forming a violent barrier around it, and forcefully met the jet of fire that looked capable of burning everything!

Boom!

Sandstorm is just a weather move and cannot completely negate the power of Flamethrower. After being blasted with a large hole, Garchomp no longer defends and allows Flamethrower to attack it.

Fortunately.

Garchomp is a Dragon-type Pokémon and is resistant to Fire-type moves.

This flame-spraying attack didn't actually cause much damage.

"earthquake."

Garchomp stomped the ground, causing the entire arena to shake violently!
Its attack was as fast as lightning, and before Super Blaziken could react, it was hit directly by this thunderous blow!
"Pinch and hold..."

Super Blaziken wasn't doing too well. The earthquake attack, combined with its previous injuries and the constant sandstorms, had left it feeling weak.

"Should we replace him?"

Li Xuan took the initiative to ask.

"Grip!" (No, let me see how many Champion-level Pokémon I can defeat in a battle right now!)
Mega Blaziken wants to see just how many Pokémon of the same level it can defeat after gaining the power of Mega Evolution.

If it were when it had just evolved into Blaziken, it could have taken down many Pokémon of the same level.

But this is a championship-level match.

Those who reach the Champion level are the best among their respective Pokémon.

In this situation, it would be very difficult to defeat opponents one after another unless they are top-tier gods.

"Since you insist on this, there's nothing I can do about it."

Li Xuan chuckled softly, and his wave-guiding power suddenly erupted!

"So you're finally going to show your true skills? Master Li Xuan, you've really kept me waiting for a long time!"

With a wave of his hand, Giovanni commanded forcefully, "Garuda, the Mega Blaziken is already at its last gasp. Use Dragon Dive to finish it off!"

"Fierce Bite!"

Garchomp leaped into the air, its body covered in Dragon-type energy like armor.

A ferocious dragon phantom appeared behind it, swooping down towards Super Blaziken with a power that could tear the heavens and earth apart!

This Garchomp is incredibly strong.

[Cynthia is here too? Are there any Garchomp experts here?]

[Hehehe, I'm Louis from the Kalos region, and this Garchomp is just as strong as me!]

Let me tell you something you might not know.

"Gym Leader Giovanni is so eager to use his killer move? Blaziken, see through it!"

Super Blaziken's eyes suddenly sharpened, its pupils reflecting every trajectory of the dragon's descent.

Just as the dragon's swooping attack was about to hit, it suddenly flipped to the side, and the scorching air currents grazed past the dragon's shadow!

That finishing move only tore through the afterimage; Super Blaziken had already landed steadily several meters away, its claws scraping the ground and creating scorching sparks!

The moment it stood up, azure aura missiles condensed between Super Blaziken's palms.

The energy ball, accompanied by a buzzing sound, slammed precisely into Garchomp's back!
boom!
"Fierce Bite!"

The wave missile exploded on the dragon scales, emitting a dazzling blue light, abruptly halting the Garchomp's forward momentum, which let out a painful roar.

"Wow! Every move is executed so smoothly and seamlessly. Could it be that Gym Leader Li Xuan has reached a level of telepathic connection with Pokémon?"

Mushroom TV has seen many trainers.

However, the ability to maintain such a fluid and skillful fighting style even when physically exhausted must be the result of long-term training.

It's something you can't do without decades of collaboration with Pokémon.

The problem is coming.

Li Xuan appears to be only eighteen years old.

It seems like I got the Pokémon less than half a year ago.

To be able to achieve this level with Pokémon in such a short time means that you must have gone through many life-or-death situations during that period!

Think of this.

Mushroom Power TV was filled with awe.

Boom! !

The moment Garchomp hit the ground, the seismic waves spread out without any blind spots!

Seeing this, Li Xuan gave the Super Blaziken a command in his mind, and it immediately condensed a wave missile to fiercely engage in a firefight!

The two energies collided violently in mid-air, and the shockwave from the explosion knocked both of them back!

However, earthquakes have a wider range of impacts.

Even with its power reduced by the Aura Sphere, Super Blaziken still took some damage.

"As expected of Gym Leader Giovanni, he actually thought of taking advantage of his Pokémon's injury and releasing the Earthquake move while it was down. I, Li Xuan, truly admire that."

No matter how Li Xuan thought about it, he really couldn't imagine that he could use himself as a medium to unleash an earthquake attack.

The Earth-type move, "Platewood," truly showcases the ingenuity of Ground-type moves.

"Same here, Gym Leader Li Xuan's Mega Blaziken is also very powerful. It survived so many Earthquake attacks from Garchomp and still didn't fall down."

Banmu wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but marvel at Li Xuan's fighting style. It was as if he had unlocked invincibility, managing to unleash so many moves without falling down.

Mega Blaziken isn't some tank Pokémon, it's a high-speed, fragile Pokémon. Can't it just go down quietly?
Both sides are wall-mounted.

Now it's all about who's using the bigger cheat.

"Blazing Chicken, close combat!"

"Greco-Greco, Dragon Dive!"

Super Blaziken was engulfed in flames of battle, while Garchomp was shrouded in the phantom of a giant dragon.

Two beams of light, one red and one blue, streaked across the battlefield like comets, carrying completely different elemental energies, and collided with a deafening roar!

boom! ! !
After the shockwave subsided, the stadium was reduced to ruins, filled with smoke.

In the center of the ruins, Garchomp and Blaziken both lay on the ground, their chests heaving violently, unable to rise again to continue the fight.

"Blaziken and Garchomp are both unable to battle. Please, Gym Leaders, bring out your next Pokémon to fight!"

This is a gym battle, not the Pokémon League Cup. When three of one team's Pokémon are defeated, they say there is no intermission.

In other words, you have to take down six of them along the way.

This is also a required course for highly skilled trainers.

“Gym Leader Li Xuan, you are only the second trainer in history to make me unleash my full power.”

"Gym Leader Giovanni, you are also the first trainer in history to defeat one of my Pokémon."

Both sides spoke frankly.

This was the first time Li Xuan had ever been defeated by a Pokémon.

This has never happened before.

All I can say is that the owner of the Banmu Hall is just too strong.

Given such a large disparity in strength, Blaziken's defeat was inevitable.

"Next up should be your Kanto main team, Master Itagaki, right?"

The previous three were all Pokémon from the Sinnoh region.

It was also a Pokémon that Giovanni later trained.

But be aware.

The plank wood has long been known as the plank wood of the earth.

The strength he possesses.

There's definitely more than that!

"That's right, the next group of partners we're sending out will mark the true start of the battle."

Itagaki took out a high-grade ball and suddenly threw it onto the field!
"The decision is yours..."
