I caught a Pokémon

Sceptile is a Grass-type Pokémon known for its speed, and its powerful legs give it the ability to move easily among rocks, but it is undoubtedly weaker than Jolteon.

Jolteon is faster, lighter, and more agile. The convenience and foothold provided by its four legs also make it impossible for Sceptile to catch up with Jolteon most of the time.

The two Pokémon darted forward and backward, left and right, moving so fast that they were almost out of sight, darting back and forth across the entire water area, with almost every pile of rocks becoming their foothold.

People can only see two shadows flash by, and they even need to watch a slow-motion replay on a large screen to see their movements clearly.

But this situation did not last long.

Although the arena was large, as the battle intensified, the piles of rocks under their feet were affected by various attacks, splitting and sinking, and their range of movement became increasingly narrow.

Under such circumstances, the intensity of the battle was bound to increase. Sure enough, as the battle progressed, the two Pokémon even launched a head-on attack.

The flat rock beneath their feet has become their only foothold.

It was only at this point, when the two Pokémon could no longer run, that people were able to see Sceptile's final struggle with the naked eye.

That's right, it's the Lizard King's struggle.

Regardless of how long it rested, Jolteon's overall lead gave it the advantage in the battle and pushed Sceptile to the brink of defeat.

Seeing this, Tetsuya gripped the Poké Ball tightly, pondered for two seconds, but still didn't recall Sceptile.

In that brief moment of distraction, the battle on the field was already decided.

Under the onslaught of Jolteon's Pin Missiles, the Sceptile, covered in wounds, had no way to dodge the dense barrage of sharp needles. It could only grit its teeth and unleash Leaf Storm to try and defend itself. However, the Pin Missiles struck first, and although their needle-like shape prevented them from shooting too far, their initial velocity was extremely high. Before the Leaf Storm's leaves could even fully coalesce, the Sceptile behind it was already riddled with holes.

With its outstanding willpower, the Sceptile gritted its teeth and tried to hold on a little longer after being hit, but suddenly a figure flashed before its eyes. When it looked up, it saw Jolteon rushing towards it with the help of lightning!

Before it could react, the Lizard King was hit squarely, knocking it to the ground and knocking it unconscious.

"Sceptile King is unable to battle, Jolteon wins!"

After the referee announced the result, a lukewarm round of applause came from the audience.

People have noticed that after a brief but exciting second round, Tetsuya's performance in the following battles has become increasingly disappointing. He was basically dominated throughout and had few impressive plays.

However, it's understandable, since it's clear that there is indeed a certain gap between him and Xia You.

Most importantly, the Pokémon that Tetsuya sent out were indeed not well-suited to the water terrain.

Fortunately, with Tetsuya's third Pokémon being defeated, the field will need to be changed, and the situation should change after the new environment.

Without looking at Tetsuya's expression, Xia You took out a Poké Ball and recalled Jolteon, then turned around and left the Trainer Command Area, heading to the nearby rest room.

Once the main tournament begins, there will be a short break if any side loses three Pokémon.

The audience can use the restroom during this time, while the contestants can take a break and think about their next strategy.

But that applies to ordinary players.

For Xia You, fighting Tetsuya was not difficult at all, just like fighting Ye Yue in Johto. In fact, Tetsuya's performance in these matches was not as good as Ye Yue's.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he let his old partners participate. If he had let newly caught Pokémon such as Milotic and Metagross participate, it probably wouldn't have been so easy.

But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, those Pokémon had already been used in the qualifiers, and according to his rotation strategy, it's now time for these old friends to make their appearance. It's just that Tetsuya is a bit unlucky.

But Fan Zhe won't meet him in this round, but in the next round. So, it will definitely take a lot more effort to deal with him.

However, he knew that Tetsuya also had a powerful cat, and he hoped that cat would bring him even more surprises.

Just then, somewhere in the audience, Meow Meow, who was disguised as a vendor selling senbei drinks, suddenly stopped and looked at Tetsuya on the other side of the battlefield.

"What's wrong, Meow?" Musashi was the first to notice its unusual behavior and said, "What are you standing there for? Now's our chance to make a fortune, get moving!"

"I understand, meow." Meow didn't say much, just gave a casual reply, glanced at Tetsuya one last time, shook its head, and continued to follow Musashi away.

As beings of the same kind and sharing a similar fate, it had already said what needed to be said last night, but clearly, no amount of reminders would be of any use against that man.

Just as Xia You and Zheye were taking a break, the spinning wheel on the big screen reappeared.

Compared to before, this time the icons above no longer include water areas; only rock, grass, and ice areas remain.

As the pointer moved, it slowly came to a stop, eventually settling on the grassy field.

This also relieved Tetsuya.

Due to the limitations of the Water Terrain terrain, his Pokémon's strength was not fully unleashed. Now he can finally unleash his full potential!

The brief rest passed quickly, and at the referee's signal, the two players returned to the trainer command area and took out new Poké Balls.

The original water area began to descend, and with the sound of gears turning, in a short time, a grassy area covered with lush weeds, small hills, and a few trees was raised.

Compared to the previous rounds, Tetsuya was clearly much more impatient this time. He released his Pokémon as soon as the field was fixed.

After a flash of blue light, a Donta appeared on the field.

Just by looking at Tetsuya's expression, Xia You could already see his determination to turn the tide.

That's understandable. Having already defeated three Pokémon and not achieving any results himself, even he would be anxious if he were in that situation.

With a smile, Xia You also threw out her Poké Ball.

As the Poké Ball opened, people first heard a roar that echoed throughout the arena before they could see what Xia You's Pokémon actually was.

The host exclaimed, "Xia You has sent out Tyranitar! This is undoubtedly good news for Tetsuya! Ground-type Donphan has a certain advantage over Rock-type Tyranitar, and this advantage will undoubtedly help Tetsuya successfully turn the tide!"

The host's voice naturally reached Tetsuya's ears as well.

Although he felt uncomfortable with the host's wording, as if he had gained an advantage by virtue of his own attributes, he had to admit that the host was right about one thing: this was indeed a good opportunity for him to turn the tide!

With superior attributes and the open terrain that Donburi loves, Tetsuya didn't think he would lose!

But his smile vanished the next second.

The two Pokémon arrived at the starting area, but before they could officially begin, a new situation arose.

Bangiras stood there, staring at Donja with a cold gaze. The moment Donjas met his eyes, he was so intimidated by Bangiras's imposing presence that he took a step back in fear!

"What!?"

Upon seeing this, not only Tetsuya frowned deeply, but even the host exclaimed in surprise.

"This is truly an unexpected situation! Who would have thought that Dongard would be intimidated by Bangiras's imposing presence! This undoubtedly adds an unknown variable to the battle ahead!!"

As Xia You's third ferocious Pokémon after the giant red Gyarados and the crystal Steelix, Tyranitar, while not yet reaching the same level as the previous two, still possesses an aura that not just any Pokémon can withstand.

This is the kind of characteristic that doesn't require any intimidation; it simply evokes the most direct and chilling fear through its fierce appearance and gaze!

"Donjia, calm down, don't be intimidated by its imposing presence!"

Before the battle even began, Tetsuya had to encourage his Pokémon. Fortunately, after traveling for so long, Donphan's mentality wasn't so fragile; it was just caught off guard and startled. With Tetsuya's reassurance, it indeed felt much better.

Fortunately, this didn't happen after the battle, otherwise, such a good opportunity would have inevitably been attacked by Xia You.

This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Nevertheless, it still cast a shadow over Tetsuya's heart.

After the brief incident, seeing that the two Pokémon had redeployed, the referee raised the colored flag, signaling the official start of the first round of the second half of the battle.

At the very beginning, under Tetsuya's command, Donka immediately used a sandstorm.

In an instant, rolling yellow sand completely enveloped most of the area, and Xia You immediately lost sight of Banjilas in the sand.

Not only him, but even the audience, the referees, and the cameras were unable to see what was happening inside the sandstorm.

At the same time, Tetsuya on the other side gave another order, shouting loudly: "Dongar, use rolling!"

It's clear that Tetsuya's series of moves are his proudest trump card.

While cutting off the opponent's trainer from their Pokémon, Donphan uses Rolling Attack in the sandstorm to attack the opponent in a rampaging manner. With their vision obstructed, the opponent trainer is unaware of the battle situation and cannot give effective commands, making them easy to defeat.

It must be said that if it were someone else, they would indeed be greatly affected, and might even have actually succeeded in their plan.

However, as a Rock-type move, regardless of whether it will affect Tyranitar, which is also a Rock-type, Sandstorm will also block Tetsuya's vision. If his attack is thwarted, he will end up shooting himself in the foot because he doesn't know what's going on inside.

Most importantly, Xia You's Tyranitar has the ability to destroy everything in its path even without a trainer's command. Given its large size and heavy armor, it's really a big question mark what kind of damage a roll would cause it.

It's clear that Tetsuya had this in mind, but now that things had come to this point, there was no time to hesitate, and he could only choose to trust his Pokémon.

Under such circumstances, Dongyal, like a wildly rolling tire, charged into the sandstorm with unstoppable momentum!

Chapter 774 At least one needs to be defeated (Seeking monthly votes)

After Donphan rolled into the sandstorm, people completely lost sight of the two Pokémon. Even in front of the camera lens, there was only thick yellow sand flying around, and no one knew what was happening inside.

The yellow sand was blowing fiercely, and it looked like it wouldn't dissipate anytime soon.

Amidst the sound of the wind, people could only guess at the battle unfolding inside by listening to the constant rolling of the donkeys and the vibrations of the ground, based on their own imagination.

Based on past experience, Tetsuya knew that his Donks should already be attacking Bangiras.

Sure enough, a huge collision sound suddenly came from the sandstorm, like two trucks crashing together, followed by Tyranitar's roar, clearly indicating that the two Pokémon had started fighting.

It worked!

Tetsuya was overjoyed, but he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Why did the scrolling sound suddenly stop?

All that remained was the roar of Tyranitar?

What about the Donka? Why did it stop scrolling?

Before he could think further, he heard Tyranitar's roar from within the sandstorm, followed by what sounded like a heavy object being slammed to the ground, and then being attacked again and again.

At the same time, faint screams could be heard, but the sound seemed to be from the Dunjia!

This made Tetsuya feel uneasy. He stared at the sandstorm for a long time but couldn't see anything. Then he quickly looked up at the man opposite him.

Because the trainer command area consisted of two slightly elevated platforms, Tetsuya was able to see Xia You's expression through the sandstorm.

At this moment, the man showed no signs of panic that one would expect after their Pokémon was engulfed by a sandstorm, lost sight, and was unable to be commanded. Instead, he stood calmly with one hand in his pocket, seemingly unconcerned about the battle in the sandstorm.

This is quite unusual.

This at least shows that he had encountered this kind of thing before, or that he was so confident in his Pokémon that he was not worried at all about his Pokémon failing without the trainer's command!

But in either case, Tetsuya realized that his previously foolproof method had probably lost its effectiveness.

This immediately turned the situation into a bad one.

After all, once the sandstorm was unleashed, it was out of control and couldn't be canceled at will. He had to wait for the sandstorm to disappear on its own. In the meantime, since he didn't know what was going on inside, it was now his turn to worry!

This made him nervous again.

He was very worried that during this period, his own Dunjia would be the first to give out.

If that's the case, then we've really dug our own grave!

Thinking of this, Tetsuya could no longer stand idly by and immediately shouted to Dongyal in the sandstorm, "Dongyal, come out quickly!"

Regardless of the circumstances, the most urgent task is to bring Dongar back into our sights and see what has happened. That would be the wisest course of action. Then, based on the current situation, we can issue targeted orders. Therefore, even if we have to abandon the sandstorm we have unleashed and disable this killer move, it would be worthwhile!

But his voice carried into the sandstorm, and after a long time, Dunka did not emerge. Instead, Tyranitar's roar sounded even more terrifying!

This is bad, this is really bad!

Now we can confirm one thing: something must have happened that caused the Donka's attack to be thwarted, and it didn't even develop as they had hoped from the beginning!

However, Tetsuya is currently helpless against this. Even if he wanted to use a Poké Ball to recall Donphan, the sandstorm is blocking the way. He can't even find Donphan, let alone recall it!

Fortunately, the sandstorm did not last long.

As the swirling sand gradually subsided, visibility slowly improved.

Everyone looked into the sandstorm, and through the increasingly thin sand, they could vaguely see a tall figure standing in the center of the sandstorm, its body rising and falling with its breath, while another smaller figure lay motionless in front of it!

What's going on?!

Has the outcome already been decided?

But it shouldn't be like this in such a short time!

Everyone was extremely curious, staring intently at the center of the battlefield, trying to figure out what had happened. Only after the sandstorm completely disappeared were they able to get a full view of the battlefield.

The tall figure standing there was undoubtedly Bangiras.

At this moment, its eyes were red, obviously having just recovered from a state of frenzy and chaos. Looking in front of it, Donja's body was fully extended, lying on its back with its lower abdomen facing upward into a large mouth. Donja's body and the large pit were covered with traces of destruction caused by the great force, obviously all caused by Tyranitar!

"This..." Upon seeing this scene, the host was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what had happened and exclaimed, "Bangiras must have first used brute force to stop Donak's roll, and then caused a ruckus that turned Donak into this state. The screams we just heard were from Donak!"

Actually, he didn't need to say it; anyone with a basic understanding of Pokémon battles would have already figured out why Donphan lost.

They could see it, but they simply couldn't believe that Dunjia had been defeated so easily.
