Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Just like surging waves crashing against sharp, towering rocks, the water splashes out in all directions, refracting dazzling lights and blooming into a rainbow.

Blastoise!!

With bloodshot eyes and clenched hands, he roared.

"Click!!!"

Blastoise roared, and the jet of water shooting from its cannon expanded again, becoming even more turbulent.

"Jeh!!"

Faced with an even more surging column of water, the Aegislash's eyes narrowed, and the "Holy Sword" it swung became even more resolute.

Buzz----

The wisps of black mist surrounding the sword shadows suddenly thickened.

Some of the water that came into contact with the sword's shadow vanished without a trace.

and this.

It also endowed the Shield Sword Monster with an absolutely sharp blade.

Whoosh!

Under the incredulous gaze of the audience, the sword actually cleaved Blastoise's "Water Cannon" in two!

The sword cut through the water!

This time.

Both Red and Blastoise are somewhat unable to accept it.

This is a "water cannon" that has received the "hatching" blessing!

But soon.

Xia Yan's voice, which rang out again, snapped them out of their daze.

"Holy Sword!"

Or is it the Holy Sword?!

"The third sword strike is over."

In the lounge, Wataru and Daigo, who seemed to have already foreseen the outcome, couldn't help but shake their heads.

"It's over?" A look of surprise appeared on Qinglu's face.

"Xia Yanjian's Shield Sword Monster's 'Holy Sword' actually has a more accurate name..." Daigo slowly explained.

"Holy Sword Combo!" Wataru added as a final touch.

"Continuous kills, continuous kills..." Qinglu muttered the word, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stared intently at the confident Shield Sword Monster and Xia Yan on the field. "Combo Slash?"

A combination move that blends the Bug-type move "Slash" with the Fighting-type move "Holy Sword"?

Combined with the power of antimatter, that final strike...

Clang!!

The shield-wielding sword monster's purple silk fluttered as it took a step forward, its eyes flashing with sharpness. The clanging of its sword trembled, and its sharp slashes flowed naturally with the rhythm of its movements.

This is the third sword strike!

It is also the strongest move that Aegislash has learned and practiced the most since it started following Xia Yan.

His crimson pupils suddenly contracted.

Clenching his fist, he hurriedly said, "Blastoise, retreat into your shell!"

This moment.

The Blastoise's thick shell is its last line of defense, and also its strongest and most trusted support.

Clang!!

With another deafening roar, the massive blue sword shadow of the Shielded Sword Monster crashed into the turtle shell, scattering countless sparks.

The sudden slash of the sword clashed with the thick, solid tortoise shell.

Amidst the blinding sparks, a sudden surge of black mist engulfed most of the arena, and shockwaves raged wildly in all directions.

Rumble!

A cracking sound erupted.

The audience stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing this crucial moment.

Watching the massive Blastoise launch itself like a cannonball and slam heavily onto the energy barrier.

and.

It can be seen clearly.

On the Blastoise's prized carapace, a jagged and clearly defined groove suddenly appears.

You can even vaguely see some deep crimson stains underneath.

hiss----

The audience gasped involuntarily throughout the venue.

Good guy.

This is the shell of a champion Blastoise.

If it were a slightly weaker one, wouldn't it have been cleaved in two by this King-level Aegislash?

"Holy crap! Xia Yan's Aegis-wielding monster is truly incomprehensible."

"Yes. It may not look very strong, but the sword strikes it produces are unlike anything I've ever seen in my life."

"Is it possible that this Aegislash isn't weak? It's just... overly cautious?"

Chapter 267 Xia Yan VS Crimson (Part 2)

Swordsword's ability to sever Blastoise's most prized asset—its thick carapace—gradually spread the name of Aegislash's violence among many viewers.

This is no ordinary Blastoise.

Just by looking at the icy landscape Blastoise created earlier, you can tell that this is an exceptionally powerful Champion-level Blastoise.

Although "breaking the shell" lowers its defense, the wound inflicted by Aegislash is not just a simple defeat.

If Blastoise's defense were any weaker, it wouldn't be impossible for it to be split in two.

Fortunately.

The arena is always staffed with the most professional medical team. Red recalled Blastoise and handed it over to Nurse Joy's medical team as soon as they arrived before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Xia Yan and the Shield Sword Monster opposite him also looked somewhat embarrassed.

This is definitely not Xia Yan or Aegislash trying to do anything to Blastoise.

It's just that Aegislash recently absorbed the power of the temporary "spirit realm" created by the royal descendants, which caused Aegislash's power to surge, but at the same time, it didn't have enough control over itself.

This can be seen from the Ghost-type energy emanating from Aegislash when it first appeared.

Therefore, it was because someone lost control of their strength that Blastoise was beaten like this.

Of course.

Another reason is that Aegislash's use of "antimatter energy" makes its slashes extremely sharp.

Even with Blastoise's strong defenses, it's still not enough against the corrosive effects of antimatter energy.

“Crimson…” Xia Yan opened his mouth.

Before he could finish speaking, Crimson shook his head.

"Teacher Xia Yan, your Aegislash is so strong!" He scratched his head, showing no annoyance at Blastoise's injury.

Even though Blastoise was injured, he was still very distressed.

But in any battle between Pokémon, injuries are inevitable.

He didn't believe that Xia Yan and Aegislash were really going to do anything to Blastoise.

As soon as he finished speaking, Crimson's expression turned serious, and he took out another Poké Ball and threw it without hesitation.

"But we won't give up! Right, Charizard?"

"roar-!!"

Amidst the flashing red light of the thrown Poké Ball, an orange Charizard emerged, its massive wings covered in fine scales billowing out, creating a whistling wind as it roared at Aegislash.

Blastoise's previous defeat has made Charizard take Aegislash very seriously.

Bear!!

A blazing, surging flame rose from the tip of the fire-breathing dragon's tail.

The blazing red flames, like a raging inferno, instantly covered and enveloped his entire body.

Looking at the imposing Charizard, a confident smile once again spread across his crimson face.

His confidence, and Charizard's confidence, transformed into Charizard's strongest power at that moment.

"Our counterattack is only just beginning!"

With a sudden swing of his crimson arm, he shouted, "Charizard, Flare Charge!"

"Roar!!!"

With a roar, the fiery dragon caused the intense, surging flames to surge once more.

At the same time, the originally blazing flames turned into a golden-red color as the Charizard flapped its wings again.

call--

A roaring wave of fire swept in, and the fire-breathing dragon, bathed in flames, rushed toward the Aegislash at an incredible speed.

Feeling the surging heat, the Shielded Sword Monster's eyes narrowed instantly.
