I caught a Pokémon

but……

Xia You had assumed that Ah Yi would send out a Charizard to fight against her own Charizard, given how confident Ah Yi had been.

After all, Charizard is a Fire and Flying type, while Ninetales is only a Fire type. In other words, besides having the same Fire type, Ninetales is missing a Flying type.

It seems that A-Yi's Pokémon count is not enough to ensure that every battle has completely identical attributes.

However, this is not a big problem.

After all, if it were a battle between Pokémon of the same type, while it would show whose Pokémon was stronger and whose command was better, it would lack a certain degree of entertainment value and unpredictability.

On the hot air balloon, one of Ah Yi's men acted as the referee.

Naz and Mary also looked down from mid-air to observe the situation on the battlefield. From here, the view was better, and they could take in the entire battlefield.

One of them had absolute faith in Xia You, while the other blindly worshipped her brother.

In their eyes, the person they support will never lose!

When everything was ready, Xia You gave the first command at the referee's whistle.

"Charizard, use your wings to attack!"

The fire-breathing dragon flapped its wings and soared into the air, circling and gathering speed.

Xia You did not directly use fire-type moves to attack the Nine-Tails. Firstly, the damage received from attacks of the same type is only half that of the Nine-Tails. Secondly, he needed to first understand what the Nine-Tails' characteristics were.

Generally speaking, Nine-Tails' abilities are Flash Fire and Sunlight.

Ignite's characteristic is rather troublesome. When attacked by a fire-type move, it can absorb flames and make its own fire moves stronger.

As for sunshine, it means that when a Pokémon with this ability appears, it will turn the weather into a sunny day due to its own power.

However, there are still a few clouds floating in the sky, which happen to block the sun. If Nine-Tails' ability is indeed Solar Activation, it should dispel these clouds and make the nearby sky clearer.

But since nothing has changed, the Nine-Tails' characteristic must be "ignite".

On the other side, seeing that Xia You did not use any fire-type moves, A Yi's expression did not change.

This was both unexpected and reasonable.

His Ninetales ability is indeed Flash Fire, so he naturally has a certain advantage when battling Fire-type Pokémon.

The fact that Xia You could think of the characteristics proves that he is not a novice trainer, unlike those novice trainers who only know how to use moves blindly and do not understand how to arrange tactics according to the characteristics of Pokémon.

"Nine-Tails, use Flamethrower!"

In contrast to Xia You, A Yi was able to act without any scruples.

Regardless of whether Charizard's ability is Blaze or Solar Power, the former is completely useless to him, and the latter is also severely affected.

Therefore, although it can only deal half the damage, Ninetales can use fire at will to deplete Charizard's stamina from mid to long range.

At this moment, Charizard began to dive downwards, and facing the sweeping flames, it easily dodged them by slightly turning its body.

Like the wind, Charizard charged towards Nine-Tailed Fox.

Seeing this, A-Yi hurriedly ordered, "Nine-Tailed Fox! Get out of its way!"

It must be said that years of dance practice have made the Nine-Tailed Fox's movements very agile. It simply leaped to the side and nimbly dodged the attack.

As their figures clashed, Charizard's back opened wide, and A-Yi seized this fleeting opportunity.

"A golden opportunity! A flash of lightning!"

Upon hearing the command, Nine-Tails unleashed its power, shooting towards Charizard like an arrow released from a bow!

Charizard was hit squarely. It took a step back and was about to slash at Ninetales with its claws, but Ninetales nimbly dodged it!

Ah Yi exclaimed happily, "Excellent! Now's the time to use the Strange Light!"

Strange Light, a ghost-attribute move, can confuse the opponent for a period of time after hitting them.

Like other Pokémon, Ninetales can use some moves of other types besides Fire-type moves.

In addition to common Normal-type moves, it can also use a small number of Ghost-type moves.

Xia You was fully aware of this and was not surprised at all. In fact, he knew that in addition to Ghost-type moves, Nine-Tails could also use Psychic-type moves!

Despite taking a hit, he calmly said, "Charizard, use Dragon Rage!"

Just as the strange light reached them, a shockwave erupted from Charizard's mouth!

boom!

When the two energies came into contact, a violent explosion occurred!

Thick smoke billowed out, and because the explosion was so close, the smoke completely enveloped the fire-breathing dragon. Ah Yi didn't know whether it had been affected.

Just as he craned his neck to search for Charizard, Charizard flew out of the smoke and several crescent-shaped air blades struck Nine-Tails hard!

It's an air slash!!

The Nine-Tails let out a painful howl and collapsed to the ground, unable to withstand the force.

Oops!

A-Yi's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Nine-Tailed Fox! Get up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Charizard flew out of the smoke and flew straight toward Nine-Tailed Fox, who was getting up.

"Well done!" Xia You shouted. "Charizard, use Seismic Toss!"

Charizard flew close to Nine-Tailed Fox, gave it a bear hug, and used its two thick claws to constrict Nine-Tailed Fox's joints, rendering it unable to move. At the same time, it flapped its wings and flew into the sky!

As it rose higher and higher, it soon reached the same height as the hot air balloon.

Mary could even clearly see the extreme panic in Kurama's eyes!

At this moment, Charizard turned its body and plummeted downwards. The Nine-Tailed Fox in its arms seemed to sense something and struggled desperately, but with its strength, it was obviously in vain.

"ended."

"Naza whispered," Mary said, and upon hearing her words, covered her eyes in fear.

As the Charizard's body continued to spin, its speed increased.

As it got closer and closer to the ground, Ah Yi was completely helpless and could only watch as the Nine-Tails crashed heavily onto the hard mountainside!

boom!

In an instant, the ground shook violently, and it seemed as if the entire hill was trembling along with it!

Chapter 230 Easily defeated

Nine-Tailed Fox collapsed to the ground, its eyes rolled back, and it fell into a coma.

Charizard stood to the side, slightly panting, but apart from some minor injuries to its body, it was clear that Nine-Tails had not caused it any real harm.

Ayi looked astonished, seemingly unable to believe that his Nine-Tails had been defeated so easily!

Even the referee didn't expect the fight to last so short!

As A-Yi's subordinate, he naturally knew how troublesome this Ninetales was, and also knew that it had helped A-Yi defeat countless challengers. It could be said to be one of the most outstanding Pokémon in the gym!

This had never been defeated so easily and decisively before!

Despite his bias towards A-Yi, the referee had to be fair and declare, "The Nine-Tails has lost its ability to fight, so Xia You is the winner of the first battle!"

Hmph, you win.

Ayi retracted the Nine-Tails and admitted that he had underestimated Xia You.

He thought that the Jolteon from yesterday was Xia You's trump card, but now it seems that this Charizard is his real killer move!

It's okay, there are still two rounds left. As long as he wins the next two rounds, he will definitely be the winner!

Thinking of this, A-Yi breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted his mindset.

"Alright, let's start the second round."

But then, he seemed to remember something and said with a wicked smile, "Oh, right... I forgot to tell you, the rule here is that you can't use the same Pokémon twice, so this Charizard can't continue battling~"

Although it sounded like A-Yi was targeting him, preventing Charizard from fighting again, Xia You didn't care too much.

Anyway, all his Pokémon are very strong, so it doesn't matter which one he sends out.

Xia You patted the Charizard on the shoulder as encouragement after recalling it.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Xia You did not immediately recall it, but instead took out a second Poké Ball from her waist and threw it onto the battlefield.

"Well then, it's up to you now. Go for it, Rayquaza!"

When the blue light flashed and Jolteon appeared in the center of the field, A-Yi revealed a smug look of 'just as I expected'!

As expected, they sent out Jolteon!

Actually, he had a premonition that this Jolteon would definitely be used when it successfully passed the challenge yesterday, and now that he sees it, it is indeed so!

Ayi smiled slightly at this. Since there was a precaution, there was naturally a way to deal with it. So he didn't think too much about it and confidently threw out his Poké Ball.

On the hot air balloon, seeing the familiar Pokémon appear, Mary's disappointment from her previous defeat vanished, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Great! It's Electabuzz! That's one of my brother's really powerful Pokémon! We definitely won't lose this time!"

"Oh?" Naz glanced at her. "Do you really trust your brother?"

“Of course!” Mary nodded emphatically. “He’s the strongest person in the world! So your companion has no chance against Electabuzz!”

The most powerful person? Regardless?

Sabrina frowned. She knew that the overall level of the trainers who came here to challenge were weak, which allowed Ayi to win frequently, thus giving Mary such a misconception.

Although she shouldn't, and shouldn't, get angry with such a little girl, given her current relationship with Xia You, how could she remain indifferent after hearing others belittle Xia You?

If it were Xiaoxia or Xiaochun, they would definitely just laugh it off after hearing such childish words and wouldn't take them to heart.

But right in front of Mary at this moment is the super-powered girl, Natsumi, who once used her immense power to manipulate the minds and bodies of others!

So much so that in some matters, even her parents, and even Xia You, sometimes couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

Therefore, you must not judge her thinking from the perspective of an ordinary person!

"No, you're wrong." Sure enough, although Sabrina's expression remained unchanged, just like back at the Goldenrod Gym, she shattered Mary's belief with her ruthless words, "I don't know who the strongest person in the world is, but it certainly isn't your brother, and soon he will be defeated by my teammates."

In an instant, Mary felt that the beautiful woman in front of her had become so hateful. She shook her head and said firmly, "You're talking nonsense! I don't believe it! My brother won't lose!"

"Don't believe me?" Sabrina scoffed, raising her chin slightly. "Then take a good look down there!"

Upon hearing this, Mary was startled and quickly placed her hands on the railing, stood on tiptoe, and looked down.

It turned out that while they were talking, the two Pokémon had already engaged in a fierce battle.

Just as Mary turned her gaze to the field, the battle took a dramatic turn. Under Jolteon's fierce onslaught, Electabuzz was overwhelmed and rolled several times before collapsing to the ground!

Although it tried to get up, it was too weak and finally collapsed.

"What!?" Mary's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could this be!? My brother lost again?"

Surprised?

Perhaps for Mary it was as if she had witnessed something incredible, but for Natsumi it was a battle with no suspense whatsoever.

One is a newly crowned Indigo League champion who is riding high on his success, and the other is a gym leader from an unknown minor league on a remote island.

There is indeed a significant gap in strength between the two.

Inside the hot air balloon, before Mary could even react, the referee had already announced the result.

"Electabuzz is unable to battle; the challenger is victorious!"

On the field, Xia You looked at the extremely embarrassed A Yi, but instead of kicking him while he was down, she calmly asked, "How about it, do you still want to play? If it's best two out of three, I think I've already won."

Ayi moved his lips.

He was naturally unwilling to lose so easily; at the very least, he had to win at least one round!

It wasn't just because he lost face in front of that beautiful woman; more importantly, he didn't want to make such a humiliating exit in front of his beloved younger sister!

Moreover, he firmly believes that once Charizard and Jolteon make their move, Xia You will no longer have any powerful Pokémon!

"You won!" Ayi took out a badge from his pocket and said casually, "According to the rules, you can take my badge now. But to be honest, my strongest Pokémon hasn't even appeared yet. It would be a real shame to go back like this. So, how about it, do you dare to have a final battle with me!?"

After saying that, he seemed afraid that Xia You would just take the badge and leave, so he hurriedly added, "Of course, if you don't have confidence and want to give up this final battle, I can understand. After all, it was indeed my mistake not to send out the strongest Pokémon directly, but that's just how the rules are. Even if you manage to win two battles by luck, there's nothing I can do to stop you!"

Xia You immediately realized that this was A Yi's provocation and saw through his intentions.
