Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

To be honest, Xia Yan seems to have never actually participated in a 6v6 all-out battle.

After shaking off Da Ye and his group, exchanging a few pleasantries with acquaintances, and not dwelling too much on the paper, he sat down in his seat.

However, Xia Yan could still feel that many eyes were intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over him.

Xia Yan didn't care.

Listening to the host's usual excited opening remarks, and looking at the avatars of thirty-two people listed on the screen.

These avatars were shuffled under computer control.

Xia Yan knew almost all of the remaining people, and they would surely become pillars of their respective regions in the future.

No matter which one you encounter, it won't be an easy fight.

soon.

The match list has been generated.

Xia Yan also saw his opponent.

Zhimi.

A renowned chef from the Carlos region.

He is also an exceptional trainer who is proficient in Water-type Pokémon.

One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Carlos region in the future.

Xia Yan discovers that the Four Heavenly Kings of the Carlos region in the future are really just a side job for them.

Zhimi's main job is chef, and his side job is Four Heavenly Kings; Yan Kai's main job is knight, and his side job is Four Heavenly Kings; Paqila's main job is undercover agent, and his side job is Four Heavenly Kings; Dora Sena's main job is shaman, and her side job is Four Heavenly Kings.

Truly, everyone has one of the four kings of side hustles!

Even the champion, Karuno, is the same.

Main profession: actor; side profession: champion.

That's completely outrageous.

In this round of 32, Xia Yan and his group finally encountered the island king of the Alola region.

In today's first match, Wataru's opponent is the island king of Melemele Island, the fighting master Hara.

Compared to yesterday, the intensity of the competition has increased dramatically.

Cynthia's opponent is Kazuki from Johto, Steven's opponent is Pachira from the Kalos region, and Lorelei's opponent is Hibiscus from the Hoenn region.

Just by looking at these names, you can tell that none of the matches will be easy.

There is always a possibility of failure, more or less.

It was Watari, who should have been under the most pressure, who was the most excited.

Clench your fist.

He was thrilled to be able to battle Hala, the long-standing island king of the Alola region.

Although the opponent couldn't use a Champion-level Pokémon, they were already quite satisfied with the transfer.

Watching Wataru flick his cloak and walk confidently toward the players' tunnel.

Kona couldn't help but ask, "Senior Xia Yan, do you think there's a good chance of Du succeeding?"

Xia Yan rubbed his chin. "About 70-80%."

"Huh? That tall?" Cynthia looked slightly surprised. "You're not going to say it's because his Pokémon are all Flying-type, which gives him a weakness against Fighting-type Pokémon, are you?"

Xia Yan was speechless.

Although he always teased Du, he never underestimated Du.

"Yes, but not entirely." Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle. "Because of him, do you know who he's fought the most times?"

"Who?" Daigo rubbed his ring.

“Shiba,” Xia Yan said.

Upon hearing this...

Everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder.

Shiba is also very good at Fighting-type Pokémon.

Having battled with Shiba so many times, Lance should have plenty of experience fighting Fighting-type Pokémon.

This is Du's greatest asset when facing Hara.

Because no matter how the tactics of Fighting-type Pokémon trainers change, they always rely on the excellent fighting skills of Fighting-type Pokémon.

There's only one battlefield for today's match.

Therefore, the match will be held under the watchful eyes of all spectators.

Amid cheers, the match began.

Chapter 174 You're not thinking of kicking out the team, are you?

Amidst thunderous cheers.

Watari and Hara stood on opposite sides of the field.

Hala had a smiling face, which made him look rather endearing.

Although Hala is the king of Melemele Island, he doesn't have the air of a superior at all; on the contrary, he is very amiable.

At the referee's signal, the two summoned their first Pokémon.

Bang——! !

With heavy footsteps, a Poliwag Swimmer appeared before Hala, a Water/Fighting type Pokémon.

And accompanied by a red light.

What appeared before Lance was a Gyarados with a ferocious appearance and menacing looks.

"Roar--!!"

The deafening roar and terrifying aura made the mosquito coil swimmer on the other side catch his breath.

The "Intimidate" trait is triggered.

It even silenced the entire stadium.

But a moment later, a burst of cheers erupted.

For Fighting-type Pokémon, the Intimidate ability has a significant impact.

It seems that Du was well prepared.

Moreover, judging solely from the attributes, Poliwag is at a significant disadvantage against Gyarados in terms of type.

"Gyarados, Dragon Dance!"

Du was the first to launch an attack.

"Roar--!!"

Gyarados roared to the sky, its momentum rising to its peak once again, and the entire arena trembled violently as Gyarados twisted.

"The first choice for Lance is to let Gyarados strengthen itself. If the strengthening is successful, its already great advantage will become extremely obvious!"

"Mosquito coil swimmer, charging headlong into the fray!"

Hala remained calm and composed, giving instructions without panic.

Using the speed and power of "Charge," Poliwag not only quickly approached Gyarados but also put considerable psychological pressure on it, intending to prevent Gyarados from concentrating on improving itself because it was afraid of being attacked.

However, this move might be useful for other trainers, but it doesn't have much of an effect on Lance and Gyarados.

"Jump! Quickly!"

As the Poliwag swimmer drew closer, Lance immediately gave another command the moment Gyarados's "Dragon Dance" ended.

Bang! !

Gyarados slammed its tail into the ground, sending its entire body soaring into the sky.

They avoided the mosquito coil swimmer's life-threatening collision.

Seeing this, Hala couldn't help but grin and shake his head inwardly.

This confidence and command alone made Hala realize that Du was not comparable to those greenhorns he had fought before.

Hala clenched his fist, his eyes suddenly changing, sharp as a military knife.

The Gyarados leaped into the air and quickly rose, then plummeted back down after reaching a certain height.

"Mosquito Coil Swimmer, grab it! Hell Roll!"

Gyarados's tail collided with Poliwag's fist, unleashing a terrifying burst of energy.

But while Poliwag was taking damage, Poliwag, who was supporting the huge Gyarados, lowered its body and actually managed to withstand the heavy body of Gyarados.

Followed by.

His eyes narrowed, and his expression changed drastically.

Grabbing Gyarados's tail with his backhand, his bent body taut like a bow, he suddenly sprang up.

The harder it was pressed down, the greater the force of the bounce. Holding Gyarados, it transformed into a rolling wheel, constantly rolling on the ground.

With each collision with the ground, Poliwag uses Gyarados's body as a cushion.

"Here it comes!! One of the signature moves of our Island King, Hala, is Hell Roll!!"

In Xia Yan's view, this is actually similar to the "Invincible Wind and Fire Wheel".

"Break free! Gyarados, Waterfall!"

A powerful torrent of water gushed from Gyarados's side, unleashing the azure Gyarados's formidable power.

The surging water broke free from the mosquito coil swimmer's grip.
