I caught a Pokémon

This is an open scheme, and even Xia You can't do anything about it for the time being.

Invisible mental energy and long streams of water flew wildly across the grassy field.

With its swift footsteps, Blaziken darts through the lush grass, dodging Slowbro's attacks.

Seeing that he had the upper hand, Blaziken could only dodge and run around, which made Ahua even more excited.

After all, looking at this entire Rainbow Tournament, not just anyone can suppress Xia You, even if only temporarily. But this gave him more confidence in whether he could win the first round.

But as the fight went on, he realized something was wrong.

The blazing chicken runs so fast!

That's incredible how fast it can run!

Those two legs moved at an extremely high frequency, as if they were flying over the grass!

Not only did the attacks from the Slow-Beast fail to hit it, but because they were ineffective, its own stamina and energy were rapidly decreasing.

Especially in such grassy areas, hidden by tall, dense weeds, the red and orange figure flashed by, and Slowbro's little cross-eyed eyes even lost track of Blaziken several times!

If I hadn't reminded him several times, Blaziken would probably have already gotten close to Slowbro from behind!

This also made Ahua realize that the battle might not be as easy as he thought.

Xia You immediately noticed his hesitation.

What type of trainer is Xia You?

He is bold yet meticulous, not only able to grasp the overall situation but also adept at seizing details. He is calm, insightful, and very patient, possessing many excellent qualities. This allows him to keenly detect even the slightest flaw in his opponent's defenses and seize the opportunity decisively.

At his command, Blaziken, which had just ducked to dodge a water gun, leaped high out of the grass without stopping and jumped toward Slowbro!

Judging from its posture, it seems poised to leap directly in front of Slowbro!

"not good!"

Seeing this scene and noticing the sudden change in Xia You's attack, Ahua's expression changed. Don't be fooled by Slowbro's seemingly strong suppressive power; that's because it's standing at a distance and has a lot to do with type suppression. But with Slowbro's weak close-combat ability, if Blaziken gets close, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't let it get close! Quickly use your mental power!"

It's clear from Ahua's orders that he wanted Slowbro to use Psychic to damage Blaziken while also pushing it away to create a safe distance.

The order itself is not problematic and is indeed capable of dealing with the current situation.

But little did I know that Blaziken was just bluffing!

It had only jumped halfway when its body suddenly seemed to lose its weight and plummeted back into the grass. Just then, Psychic flew away from the air where Blaziken had just been standing and dissipated. After landing, Blaziken suddenly accelerated and used Quick Attack to crash into Slowbro from the ground!

In that instant, its speed reached its absolute limit!

That jump was just a feint, meant to trick Slowbro into making its move. Blaziken's brilliant performance actually made Ahua mistakenly believe it would attack from mid-air, leading him to make a wrong judgment!

And this is the real variation!

As for Ahua, his misjudgment also brought disastrous consequences to the Dumb Beast.

Although only a second or two had passed, which seemed like a short time, battles are all about the swift changes in time. By the time Slowbro could stop Blaziken, it was already too late!

With the help of lightning, Blaziken's two legs seemed to leave afterimages as it reached its peak speed!

Despite not being a Pokémon known for its speed, Blaziken has achieved an extremely fast speed through its individual talent and training. Although it is not among the top-tier Pokémon, Blaziken's speed is far beyond that of ordinary Pokémon!

The distance of more than ten meters was traversed in the blink of an eye.

Before Slowbro could react, Blaziken was already beside it. Looking at the big, round, pink, and silly face in front of it, Blaziken lowered its head, raised its shoulder, and with the help of Quick Attack, rammed its shoulder into that face!

boom!

Because it wasn't a Fighting-type move and was extremely fast, the impact was quite severe. Slowbro rolled backward for over ten meters before finally stopping at the edge of the boundary.

"Slowpoke!!"

Because it happened so fast, Ahua only reacted then, but could only watch helplessly as his Pokémon was knocked in front of him.

Fortunately, it didn't go out of bounds, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

However, seeing that Slowbro was still lying there blankly, while Blaziken had already turned around and was running towards it again, Ahua came to his senses and couldn't help but shout, "Get up quickly!"

However, the side effects of Slowpoke's sluggishness also became apparent at this time.

It lay there motionless, staring blankly ahead with a big question mark above its head, clearly unaware of how it had ended up there.

This made Ahua even more anxious.

"Don't lie down! The enemy is almost behind us!"

It can only be said that being slow to react is truly a double-edged sword.

Sometimes it can indeed create miracles, allowing Slowbro to continue fighting after being attacked and turn the tide of battle, but at other times it has the opposite effect of hindering the opponent.

For example, if any other Pokémon were knocked down, it would have gotten up immediately, but Slowbro's extremely long reaction time left it lying there, and even though Ahua was anxious and kept urging it, there was nothing he could do.

Blaziken, of course, wouldn't give it a chance to adjust.

Although its fighting and fire-attribute moves are not very effective, it does not mean that it has lost all means of attack.

Sharp chicken feet are both part of its body and its weapon.

Upon approaching, Blaziken first grabbed Slowbro's back with one claw, then used Slash to precisely strike Slowbro's vital point!

Just then, the features on the Slowbro's face suddenly twisted!

It was clearly suffering from some immense pain!

But this wasn't caused by Blaziken's claws just now!

In fact, it is the pain from the impact that has been slowly transmitted to its brain!

The Slowbro rolled on the ground in pain, unable to get up and fight back.

Faced with such an opportunity, Xia You naturally wouldn't miss it. He first commanded Blaziken to block Slowbro's body, preventing Ahua from taking out a Poké Ball to recall it. Then, he delivered another slash, hitting Slowbro's head and knocking it down completely.

"Slowbro is unable to battle, Blaziken wins!"

When the referee raised the colored flag, it meant that Ahua's hopes were dashed.

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience, and Xiao Zhi, while clapping, couldn't help but exclaim, "Xia You's catching ability is so strong! That guy named Ahua only showed a slight opening, and he was immediately defeated."

"That's not all!" Xiao Sheng pushed up his glasses. "Mr. Xia You's Blaziken is also amazing. Even without using Fighting or Fire-type moves, it was able to defeat its opponent in this battle, and it's so fast! It's truly incredible!"

Seeing the two praising Xia You without reservation, Xiao Gang also laughed and said, "Actually, strength is secondary. I don't know if you've noticed, but compared to other Blaziken, Mr. Xia You's Blaziken is already very fast. With the addition of training, it is now developing towards a speed-attack style. This is the biggest reason why it has shown such extraordinary speed in recent battles!"

Quick attack?

Haruka, standing nearby, couldn't help but memorize this term that had nothing to do with a trainer, and at the same time, she thought of her own Merach.

Recently, she had a vague feeling that Merach was about to break through its bottleneck and evolve into Blaziken, which made her start to look forward to it.

I wonder what will be different about my Blaziken when it appears?

Could he also be very talented in speed, just like Xia You?

Since becoming a Coordinator, she has also realized many shortcomings. Her performance is alright, it's just a matter of some whimsical ideas and coordination with Pokémon.

The most important thing is actually the battle.

Despite traveling with Ash all the time, she can't learn Ash's fighting style, and there's nothing she can learn from him anyway.

Combusken was her starter Pokémon, and with Xia You's Blaziken as a role model, she felt even more excited.

Having witnessed Xia You's strength firsthand over this period of time, she had gained a deep understanding of the most powerful trainer she knew.

And if you travel with someone like that, wouldn't it greatly improve your combat abilities?

Thinking about it this way, it seems that not only can I help Xiaoxia keep an eye on Xia You, but I will also gain a lot myself.

Despite feeling helpless, seeing that Slowbro had lost its ability to battle, Ahua had no choice but to recall it back into its Poké Ball.

Slowbro was the trump card he had prepared to use against Blaziken. It had so many abilities left, but he was defeated before he could even use them, which was a real shame.

The loss in this match left him somewhat disheartened. When he glanced up unintentionally and saw that Xia You didn't seem to have any intention of changing her Pokémon, he sighed again.

Why is it that what we fear most is what happens to us most?

Perhaps he had lost his fighting spirit, or perhaps he realized that no matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain. When the second battle began, although Ahua would occasionally order an attack, Xia You could clearly feel that he had lost the drive he had in the first round.

In the second round, Blaziken faced off against a Tauros.

In this match, because the Pokémon was changed and there was no type advantage, Blaziken finally lived up to its name and let its opponent feel what real fire was!

Flames spewed from its mouth, and after only the initial exchange, the wildfire ignited the surrounding grassland, causing the fire to spread rapidly.

The fire burned mercilessly, engulfing Tauros in an instant, leaving it nowhere to escape. When the flames died down, Ahua's Tauros lay on the ground, its body charred black.

Even those who were close by could smell the burnt beef!

Fortunately, judging from its slightly heaving chest, its life was not in danger, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Ok?

and many more.

Why say "also"?

Ahua was stunned. It seemed that he had already experienced something like this in the last game!

Although Kentaro was easily defeated again, it wasn't all bad news for Ahua.

That means Xia You actually replaced his Blaziken, abandoning his plan to use it to defeat three opponents at once!

The sudden change of formation relieved Ahua, but he was also shocked to find himself so content with this situation, and couldn't help but feel a pang of self-pity.

I came here to compete for the championship, so why am I satisfied just because my opponent changed their Pokémon?

How embarrassing...

However, apart from himself, no one thought that Ahua was there to embarrass himself.

After all, in the eyes of the audience, the outcome of this decisive battle was already determined before the battle even began, and Ahua's current performance is just slowly confirming their expectations.

"champion!"

"champion!!"

"champion!"

"champion!!!"

The second battle had just ended, and the Pokémon for the third battle hadn't even been sent out yet, but the entire arena was already filled with cheers like a tsunami. At first, these cheers were quite uneven, but after a dozen seconds, they became uniform and echoed throughout the arena.

Chapter 789 Winning the Championship (A Milestone of 200 Million Words)

In the following battles, Xia You's Milotic, Metagross, and Eevee all took to the field.

Objectively speaking, Ahua's strength is quite good. He may be slightly weaker than Tetsuya, but he is definitely not much weaker. Otherwise, he would not have been able to overcome all obstacles and enter the finals.

Normally, if Xia You didn't send out Jolteon and Tyranitar, it would definitely take him much longer to defeat him with the Pokémon he currently had. However, Ahua had lost his momentum, not only was his attack greatly reduced, but his defense was also a mess. In this state, he was naturally no match for Xia You.

It's truly a pity.

Despite making it to the finals, he lacked the courage and composure to back it up. Not only did he become timid before the battle even began, putting himself at a disadvantage, but the atmosphere also severely hampered his performance.

If you replaced Ahua with Steven or Ash, they wouldn't be affected this much.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Not everyone can have the same mindset as them. Ahua is just an ordinary trainer, and this is his first time entering the finals. It can only be said that meeting Xia You was the biggest misfortune of his life.

"champion!!!"

"champion!!!"

"champion!!!"

When Gardevoir, the last to enter the fray, easily defeated its opponent, the championship battle officially came to an end.

"The new champion of the Rainbow Solo Tournament has been crowned!" The host could only manage a strained voice to contain the electrifying atmosphere. His voice, almost cracking, boomed, "Xia You has defeated Ahua 6-0! Now, let us congratulate Xia You, the champion who has dominated the tournament with record-breaking skill and unparalleled dominance!!!"

The audience erupted in cheers like a tsunami once again. The sound drowned out everything else, as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only the cheers of the crowd echoing in their ears.

What does it mean to be universally anticipated?

This is!

Xia You's performance in these matches has been impeccable. With his overwhelming dominance, he not only conquered his opponents but also the audience!
