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

Bang bang bang!

The collision generated a huge energy fluctuation, and the surrounding air froze in that instant.

The destructive beam was clearly more powerful than the cannon beam, and it pierced right through the cannon beam.

"Meta!!" Metagross was hit by the shockwave of the Destruction Beam, and its body instantly lost its balance.

It tumbled through the air, letting out a painful roar, before being blasted high into the sky.

"Unleash the dispersed beam cannons once more!"

"Metatatata!" Metagross adjusted its posture in mid-air, and its four arms began to swing continuously, each swing accompanied by the firing of countless small silver cannons.

The beam cannons shot towards Gardevoir like a meteor shower.

"What!?" Xiangzi's pupils shrank, completely unprepared for the giant golden monster to react so quickly.

"Shainai! Shanai!"

Gardevoir was hit by a barrage of beam cannons, which damaged its body, forcing it to slide backward.

However, there were too many light cannons to avoid them all.

Ash and I once battled Zekrom together!

How could Metagross be unable to move normally because of this level of destructive beam!

"Uninterrupted!" Yukina showed no intention of stopping and continued to maintain this suppression.

"Metata!" Metagross unleashed countless cannon beams once more.

His only thought was to defeat Xiangzi and reunite with Xiaozhi.

Yushina: Where the heart is set, it is as firm as a rock.

Dazzling light, like a hundred flowers in full bloom!

"Use your strong will to control it!"

"Garde!" Gardevoir's eyes suddenly emitted a pink light.

It enveloped most of the incoming cannon beams.

With another quick movement, I successfully dodged a small portion of the cannon beams.

Wow...so strong, this woman is much stronger than I imagined...

Xiangzi broke out in a cold sweat, affected by the pressure Yuxi was under.

Unlike others, Yukina has a special kind of obsession in her eyes.

Yushina: We have to win! We absolutely have to win! Ash and I made a promise! Metagross, let's win together!

"Approach Gardevoir and unleash Bullet Punch!"

"Metameta!" Metagross had already rushed to Gardevoir's side, its limbs and arms shimmering with silver light, and it unleashed Bullet Punch at an extremely fast speed.

"Shadow ball!"

"Garde!" Gardevoir quickly gathered its hands together and fired Shadow Ball again.

"meta!"

Metagross retaliated even faster, shattering Gardevoir's Shadow Ball and rendering Gardevoir's attack ineffective.

"Cannon light cannon!"

Just then, white energy balls began to gather at the “X”-shaped silver metal intersection on Metagross’s body.

The energy sphere rapidly expanded, transforming into a silver ray of light.

"High speed star!"

"Gardevoir!" Countless high-speed stars suddenly appeared in the air around Gardevoir.

The cannon beam instantly shattered countless high-speed stars.

"Go up! Keep your distance from the Metagross!" Xiangzi felt intense pressure and was controlled by this powerful suppressive force.

"Garde~~!" Gardevoir kept moving on Velociraptor, dodging Metagross's attacks.

Narrator: "Gardevoir! Walking in the air! Can Metagross catch up with Velociraptor at this moment?"

"Let's finish this! The final blow, Comet Fist!" Yuki swung her hand forward with high spirits.

"Meta!" Mega Metagross's body suddenly emitted a blue light, its four arms quickly retracted, and it began to rotate its body clockwise. Using the power of rotation, it charged at Gardevoir at full speed, shattering countless high-speed stars.

"Turn around! Get ready to unleash that attack!" At the same time, Xiangzi also decided to go all out.

"Sha..." Upon seeing this, Gardevoir immediately turned to face Metagross.

"meta!!"

With its hands outstretched, Metagross charged at incredible speed, striking Gardevoir directly.

"Garde...Gardevoir..." Gardevoir screamed in agony, having suffered severe injuries.

Xiangzi and Gardevoir, however, did not give Metagross any chance to catch its breath.

"Now! Destroy the light!"

"What?!" Yushi's eyes flashed with surprise, not expecting Gardevoir to be able to withstand it.

Her golden pupils swept over the Metagross, and she understood what had happened.

When using Comet Punch, the attack is always a straight line. However, High Speed ​​Star slows Metagross down, and the energy from Psychic envelops Metagross, weakening the power of the attack.

So strong...so strong...

Xiangzi was breathing heavily; she herself was overwhelmed by the attack from Yushina and the Megalomon duo.

I almost thought I was going to lose.

At the same time, the opportunity has arrived, and Xiangzi has successfully found his chance to win.

"Go, Gardevoir!"

"Gardevoir!" Gardevoir gathered a pink energy sphere, which slowly rotated in its hand, growing larger and larger.

1385 To reach the summit, give your all; with unwavering resolve, continue onward.

At this distance, the sphere transformed into a destructive beam, a dazzling light appearing before Metagross's eyes, and the destructive beam struck Metagross directly.

“me...ta...”

Under the impact of the beam of light, Metagross let out a huge roar and plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.

Boom boom boom!

As Metagross landed, the earth shook violently, and the surrounding rocks vibrated from the shockwave.

The ground cracked open with deep fissures, and rock fragments flew everywhere. Metagross's body lay motionless in the dust, unconscious. The power of Mega Evolution had dissipated from its body, and it had returned to its original form.

Gardevoir's body became weak, and it could barely stand.

"Sanagi..."

The moment Metagross fell, Gardevoir also lost its balance, its body swaying in the air before quietly landing on the ground, reverting from its Mega form.

Deng Pei rode the Aegislash over and immediately saw the Metagross's current state.

"Metamorphoses is unable to battle! Gardevoir wins! Therefore, the winner is Shoko!"

Commentator: "Xiangzi has advanced to the semifinals! And she will next face Xiaozhi!"

“Oh——!!”×N

Lost?

"Thank you, Metagross, you did a great job."

Yukina looked disappointed. She walked to the battlefield, smiled gently, stroked Metagross's head, thanked Metagross, picked up the Poké Ball, and put Metagross back into the Poké Ball.

When Yuki stood up again, she saw Shoko walking over.

"What a beautiful victory, I lost." Yukina wasn't truly angry, though she was indeed somewhat disappointed. As a top-tier powerhouse, she wouldn't easily reveal her emotions.

"Likewise, I was just a little bit away from losing. You are fully qualified to be Ash's rival and...lover."

Shoko extended her hand to Yukina in a gesture of friendliness, marking the first time she publicly acknowledged that her rival could become Satoshi's lover. Yukina displayed a strong determination and unwavering belief.

She believed that an opponent like Yukina was someone she deeply respected, completely different from that perverted woman, Sose.

Yushina's gaze fell on Xiangzi's outstretched hand. Her thoughts first drifted back to the past, recalling her past prejudice against Xiangzi.

Then, she recalled Xiangzi's sincere and passionate feelings for Xiaozhi during the competition. These thoughts involuntarily filled her with respect.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of battle you and Xiaozhi will have."

So Yushina also extended her hand and shook hands tightly with Xiangzi's, expressing her respect and recognition for Xiangzi.

"We will live up to your expectations," Xiangzi replied with equal conviction.

Lisa: "Yuki-na..."

Saya: "I think Ms. Minato has done enough."

Rinko: "Hmm...very cool..."

Various discussions arose from the audience, while Xiao Zhi gently touched the brim of his hat, watching this scene with a hint of heartache.

Yuki must be feeling really bad too. I have to go find her.

Xiao Zhi is different from before; he has developed higher emotional intelligence.

Since his girlfriend was injured, Xiao Zhi wanted to comfort her.

As her boyfriend, I have this obligation!

"Yushina..." Ash stood up, turned around, and left the audience seats.

...

“Ah…” Yukina stepped into the players’ tunnel, a complex emotion welling up inside her.

We lost. Is losing such a painful thing?

I've won so much this year that I've forgotten it all.

Ugh... How am I supposed to face Metagross and the others when I go back? I've let them down as their trainer.

Ash, Lisa, Saya...

She recalled the support and encouragement she received from so many people along the way, and thought of the Pokémon she had fought with all her might in battle.

Along the way, we have achieved a lot.

We made a promise with Ash, so why did things turn out like this?

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more and it will be achieved...

But even as I stopped here, a deep, indescribable pain lingered within me, as if something were forcefully pulling at me.

"Yushina, what a pity..." At this moment, Ash's voice rang out, bringing Yushina back to her senses.

"Ah..." Yushina looked up and saw the obvious worry on Ash's face, his eyes revealing deep concern for her. A few tears began to well up in Yushina's eyes, but she quickly took a deep breath and tried to hold them back.

It's inappropriate to cry in front of Ash.

"Idiot, do you think I'd cry?"

She walked up to Xiaozhi, her lips slightly upturned, revealing a somewhat forced smile.

"I am Ash's wife, Minato Yukina. No matter what, I have come to the Eight Masters. I am prepared to fail."

Suddenly, Yukina hugged Satoshi tightly. She took a deep breath and immersed herself in his unique scent to calm herself down.

The hug was both her response to Xiaozhi's concern and a way for her to try to hide her inner vulnerability.

"That's right! In my eyes, Yushina has always been amazing! I believe Yushina will become even stronger in the future. It's not too late for us to face off again at next year's Masters Tournament!"

Their bodies pressed tightly together, and Xiaozhi gently hugged her back.

So warm, I love it.

Yushina's cheeks flushed, and her heart began to race.
