What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

Su Shi and Aine couldn't help but blush and call out.

But to be honest, their hands really touched it 'accidentally'!

It's cold today, so my body instinctively sought out a warm boyfriend!

Xiao Zhi's hands are quite warm and feel comfortable to touch, so I'll just touch them for a while.

Su Shi: As for what's down there?

Ai Yin: Even under the spotlight, I can still be affectionate with my boyfriend, hehehehehe~

This is all caused by the body, and has nothing to do with me, Nagasaki Motoyo (Chihaya Aine)!

111 Women fighting is such a hassle~

Ash focused his attention on the Crimson Lotus Tournament and didn't pay much attention to the two of them.

Let them stick it on, he doesn't seem to care. Maybe it's just because it's too cold and he's looking for warmth.

More intriguing than such matters is the battle between Hua Lian and Li Xi.

Flame Ace vs. Typhlosion.

"Firestorm Beast, use Fire Breath!"

Shiina Riki calmly commanded the Firestorm Beast.

"Violent——!"

The Firestorm Beast obeyed her command and unleashed a raging inferno, with waves of heat like a volcanic eruption surging forth and instantly igniting the surrounding space.

Frictioning against its burning fur, the Firestorm Beast unleashed an explosive shockwave as it charged toward its opponent, setting everything it touched ablaze.

"Flash Ace, charge forward quickly! We'll use the Hot Sands to create a protective barrier."

Hua Lian's eyes shone with determination and confidence as she gently waved her hand.

The sand and dust on the ground began to churn and quickly coalesced into a scorching sandstorm.

"Ace!" Blazing Ace, his entire body covered in a scorching sandstorm, charged toward Typhoon.

Ace Flame is like a hot wind in the desert; no matter how big the flame, it cannot get close.

"Hua Lian really has some ideas." Ash, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but pay more attention to this battle.

While Ground-type moves are indeed not resistant to Fire-type moves, they are super effective against Fire-type moves, which means that Ground-type moves have a significant advantage when facing Fire-type moves.

Changing the offensive move "Hot Sands" into a defensive move is practically like the counter-attack shield from an anime.

Normal Pokémon would probably have a hard time breaking through the scorching sands... but unfortunately, the opponent is a fire-breathing Pokémon!

Wide range and powerful, the strongest move that a common Fire-type Pokémon can use!

Since this is also the Rainbow Gym, combined with the Grass Field, its power is even greater.

"Firestorm~~" The Firestorm Beast's fire breath had reached a new level, with flames as hot as a volcanic eruption, directly shattering the scorching sand.

"Disarm and jump! Cinderace, unleash an aerial fireball!"

Guided by Hua Lian, Flame Ace leaped nimbly, igniting the flying pebbles in mid-air to form a blazing fireball. The fireball, like a meteor, hurtled straight towards the Firestorm Beast.

"Use the swallow's back to cut it off!"

Despite being at a speed disadvantage, Lixi did not choose to run away from the Firestorm Beast, but instead engaged in direct combat.

However, for Cinderace, which uses only STAB moves, it is difficult for Lixie to eliminate this disadvantage.

"Firestorm~~" Silver light flashed in the Firestorm Beast's hand. The moment the Swallow Return collided with the fireball, sparks flew and a huge energy fluctuation was generated.

Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!

Those who laid a hand on my Xiaozhi cannot be forgiven!

Aicheng Hualian stared intently at the Firestorm Beast with a heavy gaze, and this time her voice was louder and more energetic.

"Don't let it get away, Flame Ace, use Double Kick."

But Flame Ace was a step ahead; guided by Hua Lian, it had already charged forward.

"Ace~! Ace!" The first kick from Flame Ace was powerful and struck Typhoon's body squarely, sending Typhoon staggering back a few steps.

"Use smoke screen..." Just as Lixi was about to give the order, the second kick of Flame Ace arrived.

"Whoosh!" This kick was even more powerful, sending the Firestorm Beast flying. The Firestorm Beast tumbled in the air, unable to control its body. At this moment, the fireball it had previously slashed had already hit its body, causing additional damage.

"Typhant..." Typhantmon struggled to its feet, its body covered in wounds. However, Cinderace simply stood there quietly, watching Typhantmon stand up, seemingly indifferent to its rise, even looking down on it.

The relentless attacks left no chance for a counterattack; they were simply too powerful.

"So powerful... Will Riki really lose like this?" Aine looked around anxiously, hoping for a positive response.

Even if Lixi puts pressure on others all day long, she will still be sad if they lose like this, after all, they are teammates and friends.

"It's okay... Xiao Lixi will probably win."

"Boga?"

The lamp responded uncertainly, and as she held Bogarman in her arms, her anxiety grew.

She's just like me.

Ash felt that Hua Lian's battles were very similar to his own, and he saw a kind of obsessive emotion in Hua Lian's eyes.

It's terrifyingly heavy—it's like someone who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

[This is a super girly baby, Zhibao! What should we do? It seems like you've been targeted by a scary guy. What should we do?]

That suits me perfectly! The stronger Hua Lian is, the happier I'll be!

Since the opponent is already so strong, he has to use even stronger power than usual.

Ash held the hands of the two girls, his heart growing increasingly passionate.

[Ugh... I didn't mean that in terms of strategic thinking!]

"Firestorm Beast, deploy a smoke screen!"

"Firestorm~~" A thick cloud of smoke was released from the Firestorm Beast's body, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield. The Firestorm Beast's location was impossible to pinpoint within the smoke.

"Observe through acrobatics and win this battle!" Hua Lian's face was full of sunshine and confidence, but her tone was terrifyingly heavy.

"Ace~" Flame Ace swiftly weaved through the smoke like a bolt of lightning, his body enveloped in a soft silver light, displaying acrobatic agility as he moved nimbly through the smoke.

Lixi tried to use smoke to conceal the movements of the Firestorm Beast, but the silver light of the Flame Ace had gradually detected its presence.

"Ace!" A barrage of punches rained down on the Firestorm Beast, knocking it to the ground, unable to lift its head.

“Boom…” The Firestorm Beast’s legs buckled, and it collapsed to its knees on the battlefield.

The smoke dissipated, revealing the scene to the audience and referees.

"Wow, that's powerful... I doubt many Pokémon could withstand that combo."

"This era is full of monsters!"

The audience members immediately began to discuss it.

"Position zero (I am the protagonist), that's it, little Lixi."

At this moment, Hua Lian realized that she had gone too far and felt a little embarrassed. She took out the Poké Ball to take it back.

However, Li Xi heard these words as extremely arrogant, as if the other party had won, even though the Firestorm Beast and she were still struggling, and the Blazing Ace was not coming to finish them off.

An arrogant personality...

Kelixi couldn't find any reason to refute it; in fact, she really couldn't win against her opponent.

but...

In the past: "Hey, that's Shiina Maki's sister, the elite trainer...she must be really strong..."

In the past: "Yeah, after all, she's Maki's sister."

I'm Riki, not Maki...

Ash: Just keep going as always. I believe in the effort you've put in with your Pokémon. Lixi, you don't need to be too nervous. You're strong enough already. I'll be waiting for you in the finals.

It's a promise, Ash will be waiting for me in the finals.

As he recalled everything, the flame in Lixi's eyes burned even brighter.

We will definitely be the winners, and we will triumph in the finals against Ash!

"Huh?! It's over? It's not over yet!... Typhoon, we're going to use our full power too!"

"Firestorm—!"

The Firestorm Beast suddenly stood up, its entire body radiating intense flames. With the eruption of flames, the entire arena was instantly enveloped in scorching heat. Waves of heat rolled in, flames roared, and the arena instantly became as hot as a sea of ​​fire.

112 Bai Xue ~ Won the game, lost life

Narrator: "It's a raging fire! The Firestorm Beast is releasing intense heat that seems to engulf the entire battlefield!!"

"Huh? This is definitely strange."

Upon seeing this, even Hua Lian's hand froze; she was somewhat bewildered.

Why did the other side go berserk just because she was only slightly lenient, wanting Lixi and the Firestorm Beast to go back quickly? And what's the point of continuing, since they're the ones who will win anyway?

What's the point?!

"Firestorm Beast, overheat!" Lixi swung his hand forward.

"Firestorm!" The flames unleashed by the Firestorm Beast were like a raging dragon, spreading in all directions with boundless destructive power. Firelight danced in the air, and waves of heat swept over, making the entire venue feel as if it were engulfed in flames.

The scorching heat from the raging fire was suffocating, and Ash felt a mix of fear and excitement as he experienced the intense flames released by Typhlosion.

Overheat: 130 power * 1.5x STAB * 1.5x Blaze, a move even more powerful than the previous Flamethrower sweeps in.

"Flash Ace, unleash Fireball!"

"Ace~" Flame Ace acted decisively, igniting small stones to form fireballs, preparing to use them to attack the Flame Beast's flames.

However, the power of the two was not even comparable. The flames, like a raging dragon, broke through the fireball and swept over.

"Ah~~" Flame Ace was hit by the flames and was instantly pushed away, flying into the wall, making the whole scene extremely chaotic.

"Overheating upon repeated use!"

"Firestorm!" Firestorm roared, brandishing its flames in retaliation. The flames surged through the air towards Flame Ace, blasting it deeper into the wall once more.

"Flash Ace?!" Even Hua Lian was flustered upon seeing this.

Typhlosion was panting heavily, its Special Attack dropped four stages, and using Overheat again would likely deal almost no damage. Furthermore, given its inherent resistance to Fire-type attacks, these two attacks failed to completely defeat it.

Its power was reduced once by a fireball, and its attack level dropped by two.

But Shiina Riki wanted to press her advantage.

"Firestorm Beast used Swallow Return!"

Silver light flashed in the hands of the Firestorm Beast as it leaped into the air, drawing an arc in the sky.

"Violent!"

"It's over! Ace Flame took its attack and retaliated with acrobatics!"

However, Cinderace quickly stood up, his entire body enveloped in a faint silver light.

It deliberately took the attack from Typhlosion. The non-Style attack hit its body without any change in expression, and then quickly retaliated.

"Ace!" Each punch carried immense power, striking directly at the Firestorm Beast's vital points.

"Firestorm~~" Firestorm Beast was hit by a series of punches, and its body instantly lost its balance. It was sent flying, tumbling in the air, struggling in pain, and losing its ability to fight.

Cinderace stood there, panting heavily, before kneeling on the ground.

Referee: "Typhomon is unable to battle. Cinderace wins. The final winner is Karen Aijo!"

"Lost..."

Lixi sighed helplessly and recalled Typhlosion into its Poké Ball. Despite losing, he felt surprisingly relieved this time.

There's nothing more to say in a battle where everyone has given their all.

It's a pity that he didn't defeat his arrogant opponent and, most importantly, fulfill his promise to Ash.

But I was really unwilling to accept it.
