Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

Facing the towering waves, Sagros showed no fear. Pure and refined blue-green battle energy condensed on his massive scythe of death, which then transformed into a huge phantom of an energy lightsaber!

As Sagros' twin scythes slashed forward in a powerful cross motion, the azure lightsaber followed suit!

"Shua——!!!"

In an instant, a sharp and incomparable blue-green sword light split the massive wave in two!

The waves crashed and dispersed to both sides like the Red Sea being split apart!

What's even more shocking is that the remaining force of that cyan-blue sword light didn't stop there. It precisely pierced through the dissipating water curtain and directly hit the dumbfounded mosquito coil swimmer hiding behind the wave!

"Oh!"

The Mosquito Coil Swimmer was struck again by this long-range sword strike. Already on the verge of its limit, it could no longer hold on. The light in its eyes went out completely, and it fell from mid-air, completely losing its ability to fight.

The referee immediately went forward to check and then announced:

"Mosquito Coil Swimmer is incapacitated; Sagros wins!"

The whole place was in an uproar!

The entire Crimson Lotus Arena fell into a brief silence, which was then followed by a deafening uproar and discussion.

"I'm knocking, I'm knocking! Wow, so strong! That blue mantis is too strong! Isn't it a million times stronger than Abi's flying mantis?!"

"Yeah, I've never seen such a OP Pokémon. Poliwag's Hypnosis was ineffective, it was mercilessly crushed in close combat, and even its ranged Surf attack was mercilessly cleaved in two!? How can we possibly fight this?!"

"The Gym Leader of Goldenrod City, Toki, truly lives up to his reputation!"

In the audience, Xiao Mao's expression was solemn.

"So...so awesome..."

If this Pokémon had been sent out back then, Gary's Blastoise probably wouldn't have lasted even three rounds.

Ash, watching through the Pokémon Center screen, exclaimed excitedly, "Pikachu, did you see that?! Time-Fighting Sagros is amazing! He actually defeated Poliwag!"

Xiao Gang: "Not only is his strength excellent, but his speed is also outstanding, he is simply impeccable."

Time Battle: No skill required, just the sheer power of an alien stat monster!!

Chapter 101 Abi: We're all mantises, so why are you the monster with overpowered stats?!

In the guest seats, the analysis from the various superstars was even more in-depth.

Shiba: "Power, speed, defense, ability... it's almost impossible to find a weakness. According to Shidou's description, this Pokémon belongs to the dojo, which means it's a Fighting-type Pokémon... I've never seen a Fighting-type Pokémon that is so well-rounded and powerful."

Super Tree nodded and said, "Moreover, the skill combination is extremely reasonable, with enhancement, debuff removal, and high-power output all included. I can't find any shortcomings."

Yulongdu said, "This elf named Sagros is really powerful. Its strength has reached the top level of the Quasi-Elite Four level, and even... it has touched the threshold of the Elite Four level."

It seems... the upcoming matches might be even more exciting.

In the arena, Ah Si sent out his second Pokémon.

How powerful!

Commentator: "A-Si's second weapon is Hawley. Facing the extremely fast Sagros, what tactics will he employ?"

Everyone wanted to know how Ah Si had defeated the powerful elf Sagros.

"Haoli, with that fierce face!"

Ah Si decisively gave the order.

Looking back at the previous battles, Ah Si knew that Sagros' speed was a huge threat and that he had to find a way to limit it.

"Wow~~"

In the arena, Machoke's eyes widened, revealing an extremely ferocious and terrifying expression. Instantly, an invisible mental pressure enveloped Sagros like a shockwave, and blue light appeared around Sagros, symbolizing that its speed was being weakened!

It worked!

As long as Sagros slows down, there's a chance!

Ah Si was thrilled and prepared to launch a fierce attack. He commanded, "Haoli, now's the time! Use a cross slash!"

In an instant, Hawley crossed his arms into a cross shape, gathering powerful fighting energy, and rushed toward Sagros, whose speed was "hindered"!

Faced with this seemingly critical situation, Shi Dou simply smiled slightly.

"Sagros, Netherworld Soaring Sword."

"Sa—!!!"

Sagros let out a low growl, and the blue light surrounding him, representing a decrease in speed, vanished without a trace the moment the blue-green energy erupted!

【Netherworld Soaring Sword】

Effect activated!!

Remove all debuffs from yourself!

Moreover, the blue-green energy lightsaber condensed on the scythe became even more solid and sharp as his condition recovered. With a swing of Sagros' twin scythes, it fiercely slashed at the charging Ghoul!

Haoli's cross slash clashed violently with the blue-green lightsaber of the Netherworld Soaring Sword.

"Clang—Bang!!!"

After the ear-piercing metallic clang came the dull thud of flesh colliding. Hao Li's cross slash was no match for this strike, which contained all the power after the weakening. The crossed arms were forcibly broken apart, and the blue-green sword light slashed fiercely into its chest with undiminished momentum!

"Heroic Power!!!"

Haoli let out a short, painful scream as his massive body flew backward, crashing heavily against the wall at the edge of the arena before slowly sliding down, his eyes now transformed into spiral patterns.

The referee quickly stepped forward to check and announced loudly:

"Hawkward is incapacitated! Sagros wins!"

one strike!

With a single strike, it instantly killed Ah Si's second Pokémon, Machoke!

The entire venue fell into utter shock and silence; you could hear a pin drop.

Whether it was the audience, the commentators, or the star players in the guest seats, everyone was shocked by Sagros's terrifying strength in instantly dispelling the abnormal status and turning the tables!

"One...one-hit kill! Netherworld Soaring Sword...that's too powerful! Sagros is just too strong, in the blink of an eye, A-Si only has one Pokémon left!"

The commentator gaped, saying in disbelief.

After a brief silence, the entire audience erupted in an even louder wave of gasps!

"Holy crap, he was instantly killed so cleanly and decisively?!"

"Yeah! Wasn't Haoli pretty strong? Just like that... it was over??"

"That's it? Master Si lost way too fast!"

"Isn't that Sagros a bit too strong?!"

The audience could hardly believe their eyes. What they had been looking forward to was a fierce battle that turned into a one-sided crushing defeat.

In the contestants' preparation area, the other dojo masters watching the match also showed solemn expressions.

"It was defeated in one move! Mr. Si's Machoke is obviously very powerful." Rika couldn't believe that the powerful Machoke had been defeated so easily.

"That elf named Sagros is really powerful. Is he going to be my next opponent?"

Xiao Chun crossed her arms and frowned.

If he wins this battle, then he will face this terrifying spirit next.

But it doesn't matter... Dragon-type Pokémon are sacred and the strongest.

"Hahaha, I've never seen such an interesting Pokémon before. This Gym Leader Exchange Tournament has finally produced some truly interesting trainers, hahahahaha."

Bob laughed heartily.

Sagros's dominance put pressure on everyone.

The expressions of the superstars in the guest seats were even more fascinating.

Yishu: "This...?? It's over already??"

Kona: "It's not just the skill, but also the timing and control of power, which are perfect."

Yulongdu looked at Shiba and asked, "Shiba, what do you think?"

Shiba: "Power, speed, skill combos—impeccable. This elf is a born warrior. I admire him greatly. Ah Si has already lost this match."

In the arena, Ah Si stared at the fallen Hao Li, his face filled with disbelief and bitterness. He hadn't expected that Hao Li, whom he had carefully nurtured, would be so easily defeated in front of his opponent.

This isn't entirely Shi Dou's fault. Sagros had already boosted his physical attack and defense by two levels using [Demon God Technique], putting him at his peak. Meanwhile, Hao Li had no defensive stance during the attack, leaving him vulnerable all over. Facing the fully enhanced and powerful [Netherworld Sky Slash Sword], it was only natural that he would be instantly killed.

Ah Si took a deep breath and withdrew Hao Li.

Ah Si knew now that it was time for a do-or-die battle. He gripped his last Poké Ball tightly and said:

"Young Master Shidou, I, A-Si, acknowledge your and your Pokémon's strength. However, the spirit of our Azure Gym will never be defeated so easily! Go forth, my ace... Heracross!!"

Ah Si roared and threw out his last hope with all his might.

"Hera—!!!"

With a powerful roar, a large, robust Bug/Fighting type Pokémon with a huge, powerful horn on its head, resembling a rhinoceros beetle, landed heavily on the field.

Heracross, the One-Horned Pokémon, uses its two antennae to sense scents and gathers in forests in search of sweet tree sap, wandering throughout the woods in search of something sweet. While usually very docile, it will use its horn to drive away anyone disturbing it while it's sipping nectar. Its massive horn is incredibly strong and is its pride.

The commentator immediately became excited: "It's here! It's A-Si's ace Pokémon, Heracross! With its Bug and Fighting attributes, can it turn this extremely unfavorable situation around and give A-Si a glimmer of hope?! Facing Sagros, who is in excellent form and has already defeated two opponents, this will be a tough battle!"

"Heracross, use Bodybuilding, then unleash your full power, Super Corner Slam."

Ah Si is going all in, pinning his hopes on the ace's strongest burst of power.

"Hera!"

Heracross let out a low growl, his muscles bulging and glowing with a scarlet energy light, simultaneously boosting his attack and defense.

Immediately afterwards, its wings vibrated rapidly, and its massive body unleashed an agility disproportionate to its size. The huge horn on its head was instantly covered by a violent, emerald-green energy, and with lightning speed and a piercing sound, it crashed into Sagros!

Super Horn Strike is the ultimate physical attack for Bug-type Pokémon.

"Sagros, Double Flash of the Moon!" Shi Dou commanded casually.

Sagros crossed his twin scythes, gleaming with a dazzling white light, transforming them into two intersecting crescent-shaped slashes that met the Super Horn Strike head-on!

"boom--!!!"

The Bug-type Mega Horn Attack and the Fighting-type Double Slash collided violently, their energies clashing intensely, finally erupting into a deafening roar!

This time, Heracross, after bodybuilding enhancements, was surprisingly evenly matched with Sagros in terms of strength. Both sides yielded, and neither could gain the upper hand.

"A close match!" the host exclaimed excitedly. "Ah Si's Heracross is incredibly powerful, it's actually evenly matched with Sagros's Double Flash! Wait... what's going on?! Heracross... it's been poisoned?!"

Upon contact with Sagros's scythe, Heracross's face quickly flushed with a painful purple aura, and his body swayed slightly—

The poison status has been triggered again!

However, to everyone's surprise, Ah Si not only didn't panic, but instead showed an excited smile:

"Come on! That's it!"

"Hera—!!!"

Despite being poisoned, Heracross did not weaken; instead, he let out an even more ferocious roar, and a more ferocious red wave suddenly erupted from his body, his attack momentum surging!

The commentator reacted instantly, raising his voice to exclaim, "It's the Guts trait! So, A-Si deliberately poisoned Heracross! Under the Guts trait, Heracross, when afflicted with an abnormal status, will have its attack power greatly enhanced. This is A-Si's true tactic!"

Exclamations and gasps of admiration erupted from the audience:

"So that's how it is! He deliberately poisoned himself to stimulate his willpower!"

"Wow! Master Si has this trick up his sleeve!"

"The situation might be reversed now!"

Ah Si laughed heartily, "Haha! This is the spirit and wisdom of our Azure Dojo! Heracross, now's your chance, use Pin Missile!"
