Chapter 625: I Am in a Good Mood Now, I Hope You Don't Come to Spoil My Mood

"A love-brained girl meets a hypnotist uncle, what kind of plot is this... Oh, she was killed before she even had time to use hypnosis. This Chikorita Leaf is a bit sadistic."

In the Hoenn region, Zhou You, who had finished the battle early and returned to his room, watched the broadcast of the conference in other regions.

After all, almost all TV stations have been showing these things in recent days, and he couldn't watch it even if he didn't want to...

"Qiao Qiao, didn't you catch up on your sleep after you came back today?"

When Eden returned to the room with breakfast, leftovers and glutinous rice cakes, he saw his trainer eating snacks and watching TV with Arthur.

It's rare that his trainer is awake during the competition.

"It's Xiaozhi's game." Zhou You explained.

He occasionally pays attention to Xiaozhi's battles.

Eden laughed: "Xiaozhi hasn't been sniped by Leaf yet."

Zhou You shook his head. According to his understanding of Xiaozhi, the opponent would probably be eliminated for one reason or another between the top 16 and the semi-finals, but it's not that he can't even make it to the finals.

So Eden joined the ranks of those who ate and watched...

After three Pokémons on one side lost their ability to fight, this full-scale battle entered a five-minute halftime break.

That being said, neither Ash, who defeated Ye Yue's three Pokémons with one Chikko, nor Ye Yue, whose other Pokémons didn't even appear, needed to rest.

Of course, the latter might need to wash his face and calm down.

As for Chikko... From the way it was circling around Ash intimately after the battle, it didn't seem to have consumed much energy, but it might just be forcing itself to stay strong.

Although the long durability of grass-type Pokémons allowed Chikko to continue fighting, and it could even continue to consume energy through "rooting" and "photosynthesis".

But Ash decided to let it rest for a while in the subsequent battles, and also give other Pokémons room to appear.

"Jike..."

In response, a red-haired boy watching in a lounge said, "Huh!"

The short five-minute halftime break ended quickly, and Chikko returned to the battlefield filled with the highly toxic "fog".

At the same time, because it was too strenuous to maintain the power enhancement and neon transformation, it also returned to its normal state.

After five minutes of calming down, Ye Yue had already come out of the shock of being hit by Xiaozhi three in a row.

The opponent was the runner-up of the last Quartz Conference and the champion of the Orange Islands Challenger Cup. It was originally an opponent that required full dedication to defeat.

The remaining Pokémon were Magna, Steelix and Blaziken. It was almost impossible to defeat the opponent's entire team with three.

But even so, Ye Yue would go all out to the end.

Facing the undefeated Chikorita, the fourth Pokémon he sent was Steelix, which was restrained by the opponent to a certain extent.

After abandoning the simple attributes, Steelix's huge body, excellent durability and extraordinary strength became a gap that Chikorita could never cross!

Not only that, as a steel-type, it was also not afraid of the poisonous fog left by Hordeo!

Facing the Steelix that appeared on the field, Xiaozhi decisively took out the Poké Ball to take back the tired Chikorita, and planned to send out his general——

"Pikachu, it's decided to be you!"

"?" Ye Yue subconsciously felt that Xiaozhi seemed to have a tendency to fight against the attributes.

Could it be his illusion?

In any case...

"Jike!"

But Chikorita refused!

Hearing that the trainer was going to send Pikachu to the field, it decisively plunged into the poisonous fog left by Houndoom before, avoiding the red light emitted by the Poké Ball.

Even if it had to retreat, it had to do its last job before going back!

Seeing this, Ye Yue's mood was very complicated... But he still commanded Steelix to continue fighting: "Steelix, set off a sandstorm!"

"I really can't do anything about you." Xiaozhi on the other side couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay, use the grass knot."

"What..."

Before the voice fell, the energy knot extending from the bushes and the vine whip shot out from the poisonous fog tied up the Steelix who was setting off the sandstorm.

Then, with a trip, the huge Steelix, which weighed more than a thousand pounds, was thrown to the ground by the strong rope formed by the grass-attribute energy.

The Steelix thrown to the ground caused the earth to shake, and Chikorita, who was in the fog, was even shaken up more than ten centimeters from the ground!

It is difficult for a Pokémon like Steelix to withstand this move...

But thanks to its strong body made of steel, it did not lose to this small grass rope.

While Steelix fell to the ground, Chikorita absorbed the last bit of energy from the sunny day that was about to dissipate, releasing a refreshing fragrance.

"Aromatherapy", a move that can cure most diseases and abnormalities, is usually used in daily life or doubles.

At this moment, Chikorita used this move not to heal anyone.

After a while, the diffused fragrance neutralized the poisonous fog left by Houndoom and cleaned the air in the battlefield.

Then it looked back at its trainer proudly.

"Well done, Chikorita, come back and rest." Xiaozhi finally got back the Chikorita that had achieved great results.

Pikachu, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped into the arena.

"Pika!"

At this time, Ye Yue's Steelix had also stood up and released the sandstorm again.

Pikachu pointed one claw to the sky and the other to the ground, and used the moves he had used when facing Sakaki's Land Shark.

Tie a grass knot!

Deja vu, the swallows are back!

The Steelix that tried to stir up a "sandstorm" was tripped by the rope formed by the grass attribute energy again. This time, no matter how strong it was, it couldn't stand it - the Pokémon with slow speed, weak special end, heavy weight and intolerant to grass was severely restrained by this move!

"Pikachu, use pray for rain!"

"Pika~chu!"

Hearing Xiaozhi's instructions, Pikachu ignored the fallen Steelix and sent a strong "thunder" to the sky.

Dark clouds gradually gathered because of the thunder and lightning, and Ye Yue vaguely realized that something was wrong.

If his ace Blaziken's strength was limited by rain, it would be over!

So he quickly took back the repeatedly hit Steelix, and sent out Pokémon that could compete with Pikachu for the weather in a hurry.

Without even a moment of regret for Steelix's loss of combat ability, the one who immediately came to the battle field was——

"Go, Magura!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the thunderstorm had not yet fallen, Magura, who appeared on the scene, launched a surprise attack at the first time.

And Xiaozhi chose to confront his opponent head-on: "Pikachu, lightning!"

In the gradually darkening battle field, two light figures, one black and one yellow, were like two lightning bolts, and they had exchanged more than ten moves in just one round.

At first glance, Magura was able to confront Pikachu head-on, but Ye Yue's brows were increasingly difficult to relax.

Mamagura evolved from Magura, which he and Xiaozhi captured together a week ago, and he had not had time to train too much.

For a while, he might be equal to Pikachu by relying on the advantage of race, but after a long time, it would be easy for him to see through his flaws.

No matter what, he had to beat one, right?

In this case...

Ye Yue suddenly had an idea and came up with a bold strategy!
