I caught a Pokémon

With a flash of blue light, a Dodori appeared in front of Blaziken.

Looking at this chocobo with three bird heads, Xia You gained a deeper understanding of Jingzi's Pokémon preferences.

Infernape and Dodrio, both of them are quite aggressive, which really matches her fighting style. Or you could say that it is precisely because of these aggressive Pokémon that she developed the same fighting style.

Faced with this three-headed bird, Xia You did not switch Pokémon, but continued to use Blaziken to fight it.

This surprised Xiao Zhi and his friends in the stands.

"Huh? Xia You didn't change his Pokémon?"

"Indeed, this is a relatively rare occurrence."

"He should probably focus on training the Pokémon he caught in the Hoenn region now," Brock guessed, stroking his chin. "After all, his other Pokémon are already extremely strong, and they've all been used in battles before, so given his personality, it's time for him to train these new Pokémon."

Hearing his analysis, Xiaozhi and the others nodded in agreement with his point of view.

However, it must be said that being able to train Pokémon in such a setting, especially in the round of 16, is not something that ordinary people can do. At least Ash and Masamune would never dare to do this.

On the other hand, although they are newly caught Pokémon in the Hoenn region, Blaziken and the others are actually very strong. Even with just them, they are fully capable of challenging for the Champion title. The training is only relative.

Anyone who thinks these Pokémon are weak is a real fool!

The battle between Blaziken and Dodori had already begun, drawing everyone's attention.

As you can see, this Dodrio's style is not much different from the Infernape just now. Both rush forward first and then launch a fierce attack. However, it is faster than the Infernape just now, and the advantage in the number of heads also makes the attack more varied.

But Blaziken had just experienced a similar style of battle, so it was more at ease in dealing with it now.

This allowed it to defeat Dodrio in this battle without using Fire-type moves, relying solely on Fighting-type moves, and even creating a memorable moment!

It grabbed a bird's head with each of its two claws, and stomped on the middle bird's head with its right foot, executing a clamp that rendered Duduli unable to move!

Seeing that things were going badly, Shizuko quickly took out a Poké Ball, trying to recall Dodrio. But before she could even raise her hand, Blaziken was faster. With a forceful swipe of its claws and right foot, it knocked Dodrio unconscious!

In an instant, the camera flash went off wildly, capturing the scene from every angle and preserving it forever!

Two to zero, just one Blaziken had already put Shizuko in a rather dangerous situation!

This surprised most viewers with Xia You's formidable strength, especially those who had bet on Jingzi to win, who became even more nervous.

They never expected that Shizuko, who seemed more aggressive, would be forced into this situation!

Fortunately, she still has four Pokémon that haven't appeared yet, which makes this competition still full of unknowns!

Chapter 783 Playing Tricks

Shizuko took out a third Poké Ball.

This time, she sent out a Black Rhino.

Having dealt with Team Magma and Team Aqua for so long, Xia You is extremely familiar with Houndoom, and can even predict how to defeat it with his eyes closed!

Xia You's gaze lingered on the Blaziken, which was still in good condition, for a moment. Seeing that it nodded at him, he smiled slightly and decided not to replace it, but to let it remain on the field.

Seeing his strategy, Xiaoxia in the stands couldn't help but laugh and say, "It seems that Brother Xiayou is planning to let Blaziken sweep all three opponents!"

Upon hearing this, both Satoshi and Masamune perked up.

Wearing three layers at once is no easy feat, especially in such an occasion.

Because they had just played against each other and had a deep understanding of the players who had made it to this round, they clearly realized that this was not something that could be easily accomplished.

It not only has high requirements for the venue and the attributes and status of both sides, but also requires the Pokémon themselves to have extremely strong strength!

This might be achievable during normal times or the preliminary rounds, but as the competition progresses and the players' skills improve, it's not that it's impossible, but the difficulty will increase significantly.

Just like the battle between Ash and Masamune, although both of them had the ability to defeat two opponents at once, because their strengths were similar, neither of them could defeat three opponents at once.

Jingzi didn't know if Xia You had that intention, but she felt that she was being looked down upon.

Having already defeated his two Pokémon with Blaziken, he's still not satisfied and wants to continue battling with it?

They really underestimated them!

A surge of anger rose within her, making her actions even more 'violent'!

When the battle resumed, Xia You noticed that Jingzi's momentum was significantly stronger, and she was also shouting louder when commanding her Pokémon.

But Pokémon battles aren't about which trainer has the most imposing presence; they're about the Pokémon's strength and condition.

Houndoom used the complex terrain of Rock Terrain to outmaneuver Blaziken and attempted to attack from blind spots that Blaziken couldn't see. However, Blaziken simply jumped onto the rocks, took control of the high ground, and used the right method to thwart its sneak attack attempt.

Standing there, it could see every trace of Houndoom clearly.

With no other option, Shizuko had to change her strategy, letting Houndoom try to use a low-to-high attack.

However, the powerful kicks from Blaziken had no effect. Instead, Blaziken took a lot of hits. In desperation, Blaziken started fighting Blaziken with fire. Even though the rocks were heated until they were red-hot and cracked, Blaziken still couldn't defeat Blaziken, and Blaziken returned empty-handed.

It was only at this moment that Jingzi truly realized how difficult Xia You was to deal with.

It's that feeling of having a chance to win, but just not being able to, a sense of powerlessness from being suppressed at every turn!

Seeing that she couldn't break through after a long attack and that Houndoom was even at risk of defeat, Shizuko took a deep breath to calm herself down and then quickly switched to her Pokémon.

As Xia You watched Houndoom disappear from the arena, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

After all, judging from her style, Shizuko is the type who goes all out until the very last moment, so it's surprising that she also knows to change her Pokémon.

But this is undoubtedly the most correct approach.

If you can't beat them, you need to adjust your lineup in time, otherwise you might be defeated in the next second, and then you'll really regret it.

When Shizuko opened the Poké Ball again, a Claydol appeared in front of Blaziken.

This Pokémon is unfamiliar to most trainers, let alone the audience.

As a Ground/Psychic Pokémon, Claydol's appearance is very similar to a black clay figure or terracotta figure.

Its body is black, it stands 1.5 meters tall, has short limbs, and many eyes and mysterious patterns on its body. It floats in mid-air, looking very eerie.

It is said to be a mysterious Pokémon born from clay figurines of a once-prosperous ancient civilization 2 years ago. These clay figurines were said to have come to life after being exposed to strange light. Of course, some people say that it was actually made by ancient people in imitation of something that fell from the sky.

It can float and move in the air using telekinesis, even while sleeping. Its two arms, which are separate from its body, are controlled by superpowers to make it fly. It can emit beams of light from its arms. If it gets wet, its body will dissolve. So when it rains, it uses its mental power to wrap its whole body and protect itself.

In terms of attributes, this is undoubtedly a Pokémon that has a strong counter effect to Blaziken. However, fighting against type disadvantages is also something Xia You is very good at, so she did not switch Blaziken out of the game because of the type disadvantage.

Even though Blaziken's stamina had dropped again after the battle with Houndoom, as long as Blaziken still had the will to fight, Xia You was willing to believe in it!

However, Xiao Zhi and the others in the stands disagreed on whether Xia You could still achieve a one-versus-three victory against a different opponent, given the elemental advantage.

"It won't be easy for Blaziken to take on three opponents in one go now." Masamune shook his head with his arms crossed. "After all, it's already fought nearly three battles, and now it's encountered a Pokémon that counters it. Blaziken must be exhausted. Even if it's very strong, it's impossible for it to do it."

Although Ash agreed with Masamune in his heart, he hesitated again when he thought that Blaziken was Xia You's Pokémon.

"I also think that Brother Xia You can't defeat this...this one..."

Seeing that Ash was stuck, Max adjusted his glasses and reminded him, "Claydot."

“…Yes…that’s right, it’s Claydol, I was just about to say that name!” Ash’s face showed a hint of awkwardness, then he changed the subject and continued, “If it were any other opponent, Xia You would naturally be fine, but since this girl named Jingzi was able to make it into the main competition, it proves that she is also very strong, and she probably won’t give Xia You a chance!”

Listening to the two men's serious and detailed analysis, Xiaoxia snorted and didn't bother to refute them at all.

These two guys think Xia You is on the same level as them?

too naive!

Before the match started, Xia You was also thinking of a strategy in the trainer command area.

Just as Ash and his friends thought, given Blaziken's current state and its type advantage, this match is indeed a bit tricky.

Despite his Blaziken's formidable strength and equally high fighting spirit, it was impossible for him not to be tired after so many rounds.

The role of a trainer is to turn adversity into advantage and impossibility into possibility.

As the referee waved the colored flag, the battle officially began amidst the curious gazes of the crowd.

This time, Xia You chose to take the initiative. Since she was at a disadvantage, she couldn't just passively defend and wait to be attacked; she had to take the initiative and look for opportunities.

Under his command, Blaziken, just like Houndoom before, used the complex terrain to run around, shuttling back and forth, not giving Claydot a chance to use its psychic powers.

Just like Xia You had done in the previous match, Jingzi commanded the psychic clay puppet to fly into the sky, intending to attack from above.

But Blaziken is not Houndoom after all.

First, it used a jet of flame to shoot into the sky, enveloping the psychic clay doll and blocking Shizuko's vision. Then, it leaped high into the air, jumping to a position parallel to the psychic clay doll, and then kicked out of the air towards the center of the flame!

With the flames blocking her view, Shizuko couldn't see what was happening on the other side. Out of caution, she didn't have the psychic clay doll use teleportation to escape. Instead, she simply had the psychic clay doll use its psychic powers to protect it.

In her view, instead of blindly using teleportation to teleport to other places and then being attacked by Blaziken that appears out of nowhere, having Claydol use telekinesis to block the flames is a way to completely eliminate that possibility by remaining unchanged in the face of all changes.

But she didn't expect that Xia You was playing the same game with her!

Before the flames attacked, the psychic clay golem calmly used its psychic power to defend itself. Just one second later, the flames completely enveloped it. However, under the protection of the barrier, the flames could only burn around it and could not advance any further!

The flames come on quickly and disappear just as quickly.

Just as the flames enveloped the psychic clay figure, the flames at the end dissipated.

However, what puzzled Shizuko was that she didn't see any Blaziken at the spot where the flames were erupting.

Ok?

Where did it go?

Feeling a sense of unease, she quickly looked around, but she couldn't find the Blaziken anywhere, whether on flat ground or behind rocks!

Oops!

Suddenly remembering something, she quickly looked up, and just then she saw Blaziken emerge from the flames and kick the Psychic Clay Golem's barrier!

Claydol's barrier was naturally very sturdy, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to block Flamethrower. However, it was not unbreakable. After taking damage from Flamethrower first, it was then hit by Blaziken's aerial kick. In full view of everyone, the barrier shattered. Blaziken didn't stop there. After breaking the barrier, it kicked Claydol's body!

Caught off guard, the psychic clay puppet was kicked away and, unable to maintain its balance, crashed heavily to the ground!

This also shows just how powerful that kick was!

The audience cheered when they saw this. Compared to the quietness of the previous two shows, this was the scene they wanted to see!

Amidst the cheers and applause, Shizuko's face was slightly flushed!

She never expected that this man would guess her thoughts!

It can only be said that we were negligent!

I never expected that my strategy of remaining calm and unchanging would be broken by this man's brutal kick!

Fortunately, this kick was a Fighting-type move. Although it was powerful enough to break through the Psychic Claydot's barrier, it only caused half the damage to the Psychic Claydot itself.

Even so, Shizuko felt immense pressure.

Even when it was replaced by a Pokémon that countered it, Blaziken still performed like this!

It's truly impossible to guard against.

Although it's a tough situation, we still have to fight.

If even this psychic clay doll can't defeat this Blaziken, then we're really in a dangerous situation!

Under Shizuko's command, the psychic clay puppet began its attack after getting up.

With Psychic-type moves being used frequently, Blaziken, despite having just gained a small advantage, had no choice but to temporarily retreat and hide behind a rock.

At this moment, the suppressive power of the Psychic Claydol's type became apparent. As it slowly drifted towards Blaziken's hiding place, the change in its attack angle forced Blaziken to continue retreating towards Xia You's half of the field, and it was quickly forced to the edge!

Seeing that Blaziken had nowhere to retreat, Shizuko dared not relax her guard at all, but instead became even more cautious.

Just as she feared, Blaziken finally retaliated when Claydol used its psychic powers again!

Another burst of scorching flame erupted, instantly engulfing the area in front of the Claydot. But this time, having learned from her previous experience, Shizuko quickly had the Claydot use Teleport to retreat, creating a safe distance to prevent Blaziken from launching another attack from the flames.

The psychic claymation puppet returned to its half of the field, but Blaziken didn't make a move until the flames disappeared.

Puzzled, Shizuko looked down at the ground and saw that Blaziken was simply standing there, doing nothing at all!

hateful!

We've been tricked!

Shizuko gritted her teeth, not having time to regret being tricked, when Blaziken leaped back to the center of the field, actually taking back the field that had just been forced out by Claydol!

Now she understood perfectly well that she had fallen for their trap!

The opponent's feint was all it took to make all my previous efforts go to waste and bring the game back to square one!

What a terrifying man!
