I caught a Pokémon

At least when Blaziken moves at high speeds, its stamina will drop very quickly. As long as it can hold on until it has no choice but to stop, that will be the moment for Iron Fist to counterattack.

Unfortunately, if Huang Guaxiang could think of it, how could Xia You not know?

Xia You never intended to drag it out until then!

Although Blaziken has the Fighting type, it never thought it could defeat a pure Fighting type Pokémon in terms of fighting ability. Fire will always be Blaziken's best weapon!

After dodging Iron Fist Warrior's attack once again, Blaziken came behind Iron Fist Warrior, clenched its claws, and instantly burst into flames, then swung them fiercely at Iron Fist Warrior!

Flame Fist, activate!

The orange shadow flashed by, and the next second, two fists struck the Iron Palm Warrior one after the other.

boom!

As the fist struck, flames erupted violently, setting the Iron Palm Warrior's entire back ablaze!

This blow was undoubtedly extremely painful, causing the Iron Palm Warrior to stagger once again.

Moreover, after the flames disappeared, Iron Palm Warrior was also unlucky enough to be burned!

This was undoubtedly bad news that added insult to injury, and dashed any hopes that Cucumber Fragrance might have had to drag the battle into the later stages.

After all, Blaziken can wait, but Iron Fist Warrior's burns cannot!

With almost every move, with every punch, the Iron Palm Warrior had to endure the pain of being burned by flames!

Seeing that it was about time, Xia You knew it was time to end the battle.

At his command, Blaziken was engulfed in flames and used Flare Charge, which slammed into Iron Fist Warrior like a giant fireball.

After all this, Blaziken finally charged forward from the front, but Cucumber Fragrance actually wanted it to stay as far away as possible.

Some tried to get Iron Fist Warrior to dodge, but Iron Fist Warrior's speed was no match for Blaziken's, especially since it was still suffering from burns. It had only taken two steps when it stopped in pain.

Just then, Blaziken, boosted by Flare Blitz, reached its peak speed again and crashed headfirst into Iron Fist Warrior's arms!

This attack was extremely powerful, and although it also caused some damage to Blaziken, it still helped Blaziken successfully defeat Iron Fist Warrior.

The Iron Palm Warrior's massive body fell backward, crashing onto the floor with a deafening roar.

For it, the battle could only be described as powerless, because the difference in style meant that it was mostly on the defensive and rarely managed to land a hit.

But there was no other way. Xia You wanted to defeat Iron Fist Warrior head-on, but he didn't have a single Fighting-type Pokémon, so he couldn't fight Iron Fist Warrior head-on and could only choose this guerrilla tactic.

But no matter what, a win is a win.

"I can't believe it..." After watching the whole process, an apprentice rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Master Huang Guaxiang's Iron Palm Warrior was actually defeated just like that?"

As apprentices of this pioneering arena, they naturally knew how powerful Cucumber Fragrance's Pokémon were, especially her Iron Fist Warrior. Before this, it had defeated countless challengers who came to its door. Even when it just fought against Bea's Pandaren, it held out for a long time and inflicted great damage on Pandaren before being defeated.

But watching this battle, all they felt was helplessness.

They didn't give them even the slightest chance.

Is this what a champion-level trainer is like?

Compared to Rainbow Bean, this is a completely different style of battle.

On the other hand, it also proves that this Blaziken is indeed very powerful. Otherwise, if other people's Pokémon did this, they would probably have been defeated long ago.

Cucumber Fragrance shook her head but didn't say much. She simply took out a Poké Ball and recalled her Iron Fist.

Seeing this, Xia You called back his Blaziken.

Since it's a 2-on-2 elimination tournament, and both sides have already shown all their Pokémon, he naturally won't let Blaziken fight two full matches; he needs to give Scizor some room to perform.

With a wave of his hand, before Cucumber Fragrance on the other side could send out her Pokémon, his Scizor had already flapped its wings and leaped to the center of the field.

Seeing Xia You being so proactive, this was exactly what Huang Guaxiang wanted.

After all, opportunities to fight against opponents of this caliber don't come every day.

In fact, for her, in today's challenge, she no longer sees herself as the one being challenged, but rather as someone who hopes to grow through the battle with Xia You.

In her recent battle with Blaziken, she realized some of the shortcomings of her Iron Fist Warrior form. So what can this Scizor bring her?

At her signal, her Çalhana also went to the battlefield.

In terms of attributes, Medicham, with its Fighting and Psychic powers, is at a disadvantage against Scizor, which has Bug and Steel powers. However, conversely, Scizor doesn't seem to have much of an advantage either.

However, this is only superficial. As a Pokémon from the Summer City era, and having performed exceptionally well at the tournament, no one would doubt the strength of this Scizor.

The apprentices fell silent again, holding their breath and watching intently as the battle was about to begin.

At the referee's signal, the second match officially began.

This time, it was Medicham's turn to launch an attack. Although neither Fighting-type nor Psychic-type moves could do much damage to Scizor, it didn't stop it from taking the initiative.

After all, type advantage is not absolute in Pokémon battles, and there are countless examples of comebacks. Mindset, experience, and on-the-spot adaptability also play a crucial role!

Right from the start, under Cucumber Fragrance's instruction, Medicham charged straight at Scizor and used Focus Punch.

This also shows that she wants to prove herself in close combat against Scizor.

As expected, Fighting-type trainers still have a deep obsession with Fighting-type Pokémon. Unless absolutely necessary, they generally won't easily use other types of abilities.

Çalhana's fist was wreathed in white light. As it ran up to Scizor, it leaped high into the air and swung its fist at Scizor.

"Scizor, block this!"

Because their speeds were similar, Xia You didn't think about dodging, but instead planned to take the attack head-on.

Unlike the previous battle, this time it was not facing a power-type Pokémon, and Scizor itself had excellent defense. In addition, its type was favorable to it, so there was no reason to fight any guerrilla warfare or mobile warfare.

The steel-attribute metal claws were unleashed, reaching upwards to grab at the falling Charem.

However, being a pioneering mind, even after her battle with Aya, she had been holding back a trump card, only revealing it now!

Just as Medicham and Scizor were about to collide, Medicham suddenly vanished from Scizor's sight!

The next second, it suddenly appeared behind the Scizor and launched an attack from behind.

boom!

The True Qi Fist struck the Scizor's back, producing a dull thud like heavy iron, and made the Scizor stagger.

What amazing power!

It's worth noting that the scyther stands 1 meters tall and weighs over 8 kilograms. Coupled with the defensive capabilities granted by its steel-like body, it was still managed to stagger after being struck. This demonstrates that the power of that True Qi Fist was far beyond the ordinary!

This is something I didn't show at all during my previous battle with Aya!

However, due to the disadvantage of the attribute, although the punch was unexpected, the effect was only so-so.

But this still allowed Xia You to witness the resilience of these pioneering minds and hall masters. No matter how long the fight went on, they were able to put on a brilliant performance. Sure enough, at this level of strength, none of them were easy to deal with!

Although it was somewhat unexpected, it wasn't a big deal for him.

The same trick won't hurt him twice!

Seeing that his attack had succeeded, Cucumber Fragrance wanted to repeat the same trick and ordered Charem to use his True Qi Fist again.

Just like before, Çalhan jumped in front of Scizor again. But when it disappeared and reappeared this time, a bright light suddenly flashed on Scizor's body, as if it had become even stronger!

Iron Wall, activate!

Boom!

The True Qi Fist struck Scizor again, but unlike before, this time the sound was noticeably heavier, as if it had hit a heavy iron door. Scizor stood there without even trembling, clearly having taken the full force of the True Qi Fist!

And judging from the looks of it, it even injured Çalem!

It's really hard...

Seeing that Charem covered his fist instead, Cucumber Fragrance couldn't help but grimace, as if she could also feel what kind of pain that was.

It can only be said that this is a Pokémon with excellent defensive capabilities. With the support of Iron Defense and type damage reduction, its toughness is truly awe-inspiring.

Just then, the Scizor launched its counterattack.

Two huge pincers closed and swung at Çalem like bullets. Faced with such an attack, Çalem was invigorated and hurriedly dodged and defended. However, its soft body could only dodge one, two, or three times, but it could not dodge them all. In a moment of carelessness, a series of bullet punches hit its body. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen punches were thrown, making it stiff!

In fact, anyone who knows Xia You even slightly knows that once he finds an opportunity, it means that the battle is basically over.

This person has an extremely strong ability to find weaknesses. Unless you have some other killer move that can turn the tide, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only accept your fate of being defeated.

After Bullet Punch ended, Scizor continued with Metal Claw, finishing with a Iron Head that knocked Medicham to the ground.

When Medicham's final counterattack was evaded by Scizor's Shadow Clone, it had no chance of turning the tide.

Once again, the metal claws finished the match. With a powerful swing, Scizor struck Medicham hard, stunning him, and the challenge came to an end.

"Charemm is unable to battle, Scizor wins this battle!"

When the referee announced the result of the match, not only Xiaoxia and her friends, but also the apprentices gave them the loudest applause.

what?

You're saying they're apprentices in this arena? Should they be saddened by Cucumber Fragrance's defeat?

Sorry, at this point they were completely captivated by Xia You!

If it were any other opponent, even if the opponent just now was a beautiful woman, people wouldn't react this way. Only when facing the champion do they unite so wholeheartedly to abandon the concept of 'faction'.

After all, strictly speaking, the Battle Arena is located in Kanto, so it is naturally part of Kanto. Xia You, who won the Indigo League, is also the champion of Kanto. Therefore, from the perspective of faction, there is no problem in supporting him or supporting the Brain of the Trailblazer!

At this moment, Cucumber Fragrance also recalled her Pokémon, clapped her hands, and walked up to Xia You.

If her previous battle with Cai Dou gave her a feeling that she had a chance to win one or two matches, then her battle with Xia You left her without even a glimmer of hope of victory.

That's incredibly powerful!

This strength doesn't simply refer to how powerful these Pokémon are, but rather that under this man's command, the man and the Pokémon become one, complementing each other, making her unable to sense any flaws. On the contrary, even her slightest mistakes are magnified in an instant!

Is this the strength of three regional champions?

How exactly?

Huang Guaxiang even had a feeling that even the Four Heavenly Kings might be as vulnerable as she was in front of this man.

"This is truly an eye-opener for me..." Standing in front of Xia You, Huang Guaxiang could only sigh with admiration. "These two Pokémon shouldn't be your strongest lineup, right? To be able to easily defeat my ace with non-strongest Pokémon, I really don't know how to describe you."

"Of course, that's a normal description," Xia You laughed. "The only ones who are strong are my Pokémon, and that's the result of their hard work. I'm just an ordinary person, so what's the difference between me and you?"

This is the art of a champion's speech!

This not only showed his humility, but also demonstrated his strength!

With a wry smile, Huang Guaxiang took out another gold coin-like badge from his pocket and handed it to Xia You.

"As you can see, this is a symbol of perseverance in the arena, proof of your victory over me. Please accept it. Also, no matter what, I really should thank you this time. You've shown me what it means to be outmatched. From now on, I will definitely work even harder to hone my skills!"

Chapter 798 Reunion with Naz

Dusk falls outside the gates of the battle arena.

They declined Huang Guaxiang's offer to treat them to dinner, and accompanied by Yashida, Xia You, the other two, and Cai Dou bid farewell to Huang Guaxiang.

Looking at Xia You, Huang Guaxiang really didn't want him to leave so soon.

After all, the longer Xia You stays, the more times she can spar with him, which will undoubtedly improve her own strength.

Now that his goal had been achieved, Xia You really couldn't waste any more time here. On one hand, he was eager to return home and couldn't wait to get to Golden City, and on the other hand...

"Let's forget about it." Xia You glanced at the cucumber fragrance, looked at the apprentices behind her, and smiled. "If I stay any longer, my hands will probably go numb."

After the battle just ended, Xia You was about to leave, but all the apprentices surrounded her, asking for photos and autographs. It took her a long time to get rid of them. If she stayed any longer, who knows what other trouble might arise.

His joke made the apprentices laugh awkwardly.

Finally, everyone in the arena, including Huang Guaxiang, simultaneously bowed to them in a karate style and shouted, "Have a safe journey!"

With a wave, the group got into Ashida's red sports car and drove away from the battle arena.

……

It was the same Pokémon Center. The red sports car came to a smooth stop in the open space in front.

Xia You and the others jumped out of the car and waved back at Ashida.

"That's enough. We can walk the rest of the way on our own. Thank you so much this time."

"Not at all," Ashida laughed. "I should be thanking you. It is because of experts like you who come to challenge us that the Frontier Brains continue to improve and become stronger. This is a good thing for my Frontier Battle Zone!"

At this point, Ashida changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Xia You, where will you be challenging next?"
