Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

"That's a ribbon badge box in your hand?! Is Brother Su Yi also going to participate in the Grand Contest?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

Su Yi laughed and said, "Surprised? Unexpected?"

"This is quite unexpected," Xiaoyao said, sweating. She hadn't expected to have another formidable rival.

Although she didn't know how good Su Yi's acting skills were, she had personally witnessed his fighting abilities.

"Huh? Does Brother Su Yi still participate in the Grand Contest?" Xiao Zhi asked on her behalf.

Su Yi took out the Wind Dragon's Catch Ball and said with a smile, "I want my partner to try it out. If it really likes it, I'll keep participating."

"Brother Su Yi looks so confident, he must have been training for a long time," Xiao Yao exclaimed, as she herself didn't even have that kind of confidence yet.

"No, not really. I only did some intensive training for a few days, but I believe in it," Su Yi said, putting away his catch fairway.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that. One of you is unable to showcase the charm of Pokémon, and the other is arrogant enough to think that you can step onto the stage after just a few days of training. This makes me feel that the level of the competition has dropped several notches."

A sigh rang out, and a handsome young man with green hair tossed his hair as he walked over.

"Shun!" Haruka said angrily, calling out the name of the visitor.

"You're still so relaxed. How many ribbon badges have you earned?" Xiao Shun said casually, opening the ribbon badge box and showing three ribbon badges.

Once you collect five Grand Contest Badges, you'll be eligible to participate in the Grand Contest Festival in that region. In other words, this young man is only two badges away from qualifying.

Xiaoyao was speechless for a moment. Putting aside the badge, she didn't even have the confidence to perform on stage again, and her partner wasn't ready either.

"And you, you'd better have real skills, or you'll make a fool of yourself." Xiao Shun looked at Su Yi.

Su Yi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Everyone is qualified to participate in the Grand Contest, and I don't need to participate in the Grand Contest to prove anything. I just want to participate."

"But I'm going to participate with all my might, so don't cry when the time comes."

Xiao Shun was slightly taken aback when she heard Su Yi's words, then laughed and said, "Hmph, then I'll have to look forward to it. You'd better not disappoint me!"

After saying that, he turned and left with a flourish.

Su Yi smiled. He knew that this sharp-tongued boy didn't mean any harm; he just expressed himself in a way that was unpleasant.

"It looks really tense," Xiaosheng said in a low voice.

Xiaoyao said dejectedly, "This actually puts more pressure on me."

"If you lack confidence, then go for special training! You won't improve if you do nothing!" Ash encouraged.

"Yes! We need special training! We'll try to master the combination techniques!" Xiaoyao encouraged herself.

Su Yi thought for a moment and suggested, "How about we do special training together? I at least know some experience."

He wouldn't mind helping Xiaoyao out.

Ash was happy for May and said, "That's great! With someone helping with the special training, the results will definitely be excellent."

Xiaoyao said somewhat reservedly, "Thank you in advance."

On a patch of grass, Haruka released her Safari Beautifly and said, "Safari Beautifly, let's practice our combo moves together!"

"Ha ma~" The hunting swallowtail butterfly was full of energy.

"Go for it, sister! You can do it!" Xiao Sheng and the others cheered them on from the sidelines.

However, Xiaoyao's subsequent instructions were hesitant, leaving the Hunting Butterfly at a loss, getting tangled in its own silk threads and making things worse.

"How could this happen?" Xiaoyao was somewhat confused.

Su Yi noticed the problem: Xiao Yao was trying to run before she could walk.

"Hmph, is this all you've got? You've really disappointed me." Xiao Shun suddenly walked out from the side, shaking his head and sighing.

"When did you arrive?!" Xiaoyao asked, somewhat embarrassed.

"You can't even perform properly, yet you expect to have a spectacular battle? Don't make us laugh!" Xiao Shun retorted mercilessly.

Then, he looked at Ash, but after thinking for a moment, he pointed to Su Yi with the intention of probing for information: "Sir, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Shun. Can we have a Pokémon battle?"

Su Yi was somewhat surprised. Although he knew that Xiao Shun was only pretending to want to teach Xiao Yao, was she serious about choosing to fight him?

Then, Su Yi smiled and said, "Okay, just call me Su Yi."

Xiao Yao said angrily, "You're asking for trouble. Brother Su Yi is very strong!"

Shun scoffed, "You don't think that Coordinators can't engage in formal battles, do you?"

"Then I'll be the referee," Xiao Gang volunteered.

Next, Xiao Shun and Su Yi stood on opposite sides, and the battle was about to begin.

"Go, Roselia!" Shun confidently tossed the Pokémon lightly, and a Pokémon with two flowers, one blue and one red, gracefully appeared on the field.

Su Yi asked in surprise, "Not simultaneously, but first? So confident?"

"Hmph~" Xiao Shun gave a confident hum.

"Aren't you underestimating me?" Su Yi tilted his head and sent out Big Mouth Kid.

"Kuji!" Mouthball clenched his fist and swung it, full of energy.

Mawile, being a Steel-type Pokémon, is not only immune to Poison-types but also resistant to Grass-types. Little Shun, who hadn't expected Su Yi to target him like this, couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

“Mouthwa has an advantage in terms of attributes! But I remember Mawwa was only caught a little over a week ago.” Xiaosheng recalled that he remembered Mawwa was caught during the Farns Festival.

Hearing Xiaosheng's words, Xiaoshun's expression softened considerably. He thought to himself: Although you have an advantage in terms of type, aren't you being too confident by sending out a Pokémon that you only recently caught?

Chapter 315 The Grand Contest Begins, All Eyes Are On!

Both sides have already sent out their Pokémon. Brock, with a serious expression, waved his hand and shouted, "Battle begins!"

"Poison Rose, use Magic Leaf!" Shun decided to strike first.

"Hiss~" The Poison Rose raised its flower-like hand and launched countless energy leaves, which shot out like countless flying knives.

"Mouthwa, use your Freeze Punch! Take them all down!" Su Yi commanded.

"Kuji!"

The baby clashed its fists together, creating a chilling aura, and then quickly punched out, shattering all the magic leaves with a series of thuds.

In an instant, fragments of the magic leaf scattered along with ice crystals from the Frozen Fist, creating a rather dazzling spectacle.

"It looks pretty good!" Ash exclaimed in surprise.

"But this is clearly not a flashy battle," Xiaoyao exclaimed.

"This guy, has he really only been practicing for a short time?" Xiao Shun suddenly felt like he had been deceived. Two and a half years of practice time was more like it.

"Rock blockade!" Su Yi quickly gave the order.

"Kuji—!" Mawile raised its hands, looking very cute, but several huge rocks materialized above Rose's head and crashed down on it with terrifying force.

"Get out of the way!" Xiao Shun used his divine skill, "Get out of the way!"

"Hiss."

Poison Rose tiptoed and dodged quickly, her initial elegant and composed demeanor gone.

dong dong dong.

The rocks kicked up dust and piled up, and the poisonous rose that had just dodged them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Frozen Fist!" Su Yi's voice followed closely behind.

"Kuji!" Mouthball jumped onto the small hill of rocks, then leaped high into the air and came crashing down with a punch.

"Use the Petal Dance!" Shun realized she couldn't let herself be led by the rhythm, so she decided to fight head-on.

The poisonous rose stretched out its hands and spun rapidly, sending countless blade-like petals flying and cutting in all directions, like a waltz.

Su Yi clenched his fist and swung it, shouting, "Punch in with the Freezing Fist!"

Upon hearing this command, everyone present, including Xiao Shun, thought to themselves: This is too reckless!

"Kuji!" But Mawile revealed a smile that suited me perfectly, then swiftly swung his fist, shattering the petals one by one, and then approached the Poison Rose step by step.

"This is not beautiful at all!" Xiao Shun gritted her teeth, quickly thinking of a solution.

But Maw of Venom grew stronger with each battle, its speed suddenly increasing, and it charged right up to Poison Rose, unleashing a powerful punch!

Bang!

The 30% power boost from the Forced ability, combined with Roselia's double weakness to ice and Mawile's strength, sent Roselia flying, crashing into a tree trunk before collapsing to the ground.

"Can we still fight?" Xiao Shun asked anxiously.

"Hiss." Poison Rose slowly got up, then collapsed due to exhaustion, losing her ability to fight.

"The Poison Rose is unable to fight; the winner is Su Yi!" Xiao Gang declared immediately.

Xiao Shun snapped out of her daze, retrieved the Poison Rose back into the ball, and snorted coldly, "Hmph! I misjudged you! But this kind of battle can hardly be called spectacular!"

Su Yi squatted down, patted Mawile's head, encouraged it, and said, "Battle is also part of the charm of Pokémon. In my opinion, Mawile's battle just now was very spectacular."

"Kuji~" The big-mouthed baby shook its head shyly and rubbed against Su Yi's hand that was stroking its head.

"See you at the Grand Contest!" Xiao Shun waved and turned to leave.

"Mouthwa is so strong!" Ash exclaimed.

Xiao Sheng nodded and exclaimed, "Yes, he defeated Poison Rose with just one hit throughout the entire battle!"

"Can such a big-mouthed kid be a match for me? The pressure is even greater now," Xiaoyao sighed.

“May, trainers influence Pokémon. If you don’t have confidence in yourself, then your Pokémon will also be hesitant,” Su Yi said.

"Just like your initial hesitation when trying to command the Hunting Swallowtail, it left the Hunting Swallowtail bewildered as well."

"Moreover, combination techniques are not something that can be mastered overnight; you have to take it step by step. For example, if you want the Swallowtail to spin and use its silk-spitting ability, then you have to break down the action into parts. First, learn how to spin, and then try to use the silk-spitting ability."

These were all summaries from training the Wind Drift Dragon, because the Wind Drift Dragon has a performance move that is very similar to this, so Su Yi is quite experienced in this area.

Next, under Su Yi's guidance, Xiao Yao broke down the combination technique step by step and then put it back together. Although she didn't succeed immediately, she had already developed a basic form.

"Success!" Xiaoyao was thrilled to see that she had been able to complete the initial combination technique.

Su Yi nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's exactly it. No matter how things change, the principle remains the same. As long as you break down the moves little by little and understand the key points of each movement, you can combine them well."

"Thank you so much!" Xiaoyao said sincerely.
