However, the referee did not pay attention to Iron Ant's seemingly intimidated behavior at this moment. After both Pokémon appeared on the field, he immediately shouted.
"Battle begins!"
As the first to send out its Pokémon, Arty naturally took the lead in the attack.
"Dig a hole!"
Indigo brush!
As a Pokémon whose instinct is to dig mountains and build nests, Iron Ant's digging speed is not to be underestimated. In just the blink of an eye, it has dug a large hole and disappeared from the battlefield.
However, the skilled blacksmith who once single-handedly overturned an entire iron ant nest was no stranger to this kind of development.
Therefore, after the iron ant burrowed into the ground, she immediately raised the sledgehammer in her hand.
boom!
The hammer, enveloped in normal energy, slammed into the ground, causing it to shake violently and also injuring the iron ants beneath.
With a hissing sound, the iron ant wolf fox, covered in dust, crawled out of the ground.
But this was the moment the skilled blacksmith had been waiting for.
"Clang clang!"
With a loud shout, the skilled blacksmith abandoned his hammer and pounced on the iron ant.
Seeing this, Yati's pupils contracted, and he immediately took countermeasures.
"Hold on!"
Yati's reaction was undeniably quick, but for Iron Ant, who had just crawled out of the collapsed burrow and was still not fully conscious, such a rapid reaction was a bit of a challenge.
Therefore, just as the Iron Ant reacted and prepared to use its Guard skill, the Blacksmith's pink little hand had already grabbed the metal tentacle on the Iron Ant's head, which resembled a dowsing rod. Then, the Blacksmith's free right hand delivered two punches to the Iron Ant's head.
Amidst the crisp metallic clanging sound, the iron ant, which had just regained some consciousness, immediately went dazed.
Seeing this, Xia Mu finally issued his first command after the start of the battle.
"Wild swings and punches!"
"Clang clang!"
Yati wasn't quite sure whether it was because the skilled blacksmith reacted quickly or because she was already preparing to use the skill.
In short, the moment Xia Mu finished speaking, the blacksmith's hands were already covered with eerie evil energy.
Then, Yati witnessed the most brutal scene he had ever seen in his life during a battle.
boom!
!
call out!
boom!
The skilled blacksmith treated the iron ants as mere toys, casually tossing and smashing them around, and even punching and kicking them from time to time.
However, a question arose in Yati's mind as he watched this scene.
As we all know, Steel-type Pokémon are exceptionally durable, and Iron Ant is no exception.
Although Ironant is as fragile as any Bug-type Pokémon, as a Pokémon carefully bred by Arty, its armor is even tougher than some ordinary Steel-type Pokémon.
Not to mention the iron ant's hardest mandibles.
And Natsuki should know this too.
But why, after the skilled blacksmith caught the iron ant, did Xia Mu not allow the blacksmith to attack the weaker points on the iron ant's body, but instead just watched as the blacksmith attacked the iron ant's giant mandibles?
"Are you relieving yourself?"
Yati admits that he appreciates Xia Mu's musical talent, but he overlooks Xia Mu's actual abilities.
Therefore, I was a bit careless at the beginning of the battle.
but-
"Holding back in battle is anything but cool!"
Yati now has a lot of opinions about Xia Mu.
Just like Yati, Zi Deng also had a lot of opinions about Xia Mu at this time.
Unlike Yati, who only knew about Xia Mu online, she, as Xia Mu's travel companion, guessed Xia Mu and the master blacksmith's true purpose in just a moment.
These two guys are trying to become dentists during the match!
Zi was furious at this blatant act of plundering.
"If you two continue like this, I... I'm not going to be friends with you anymore!"
In the end, even the little angels like Zi couldn't bring themselves to say anything harsh.
But for Xia Mu and the skilled blacksmith, this threat was enough.
"what?"
"Clang?"
Upon hearing Zi Deng's shouts, Xia Mu and the skilled blacksmith both showed expressions of shock.
Does that mean I can't freeload meals anymore?
So I can't have alloys anymore?
Then, the two equally greedy men exchanged a glance and decided to abandon their previous plan to pull the tooth.
"Full-force rock smash!"
"Clang!"
With a loud shout, the skilled blacksmith flipped over and sat on the iron ant's back to continue the reading.
boom!
The small fist, enveloped in Fighting-type energy, slammed mercilessly into Iron Ant's forehead, causing Iron Ant, who had just caught his breath, to shudder again.
However, unlike before when it was just a momentary daze, this time, under the full force of the master blacksmith, the iron ant's head was directly punched into the ground.
Then came the blacksmith's even more brutal and continuous attacks.
Duang!
Duang!
As expected of an officially recognized Gym Leader, Yati is incredibly strong; even his second-team Iron Ants are remarkably resilient.
Even the skilled blacksmith, who possessed immense strength, had to unleash a series of powerful punches to knock the opponent unconscious.
As the iron ant finally lost its ability to fight, the skilled blacksmith also stood up from the small pit that resembled a depression under his feet.
"Clang clang!"
Wiping away imaginary sweat from his forehead, the skilled blacksmith smiled at Zi and others not far away.
Did I do a great job?
"Well done!"
Zi Deng really wanted to praise the skilled blacksmith, but faced with the resentful gaze from Ya Di not far away, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Even Zi and the others didn't dare to look up at this moment.
I just wanted Xia Mu and the blacksmith to act like human beings, not for them to treat the iron ant as an enemy and beat Zi and others. I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
However, Zi and others can understand.
After all, before he spoke, the skilled blacksmith was treating the iron ants like toys, but after he spoke, the skilled blacksmith seemed to have gone berserk. His aura even reminded Zi of the scene when Xia Mu left and her father was hitting a punching bag in the gym.
Incidentally, there was a photo of Xia Mu on that sandbag, which my dad had somehow found.
Honestly, this makes it sound like I'm the one ordering Natsuki to use his full strength—
At this moment, Zi and the others all wanted to kneel on the ground and shout "Please, Heaven, judge the loyal and the treacherous!" just like Xia Mu had done in the past.
However, Yati didn't actually take the matter too seriously.
Although he had lost badly in this round, he actually admired the blacksmith's ferocious momentum.
Especially after the skilled blacksmith's imposing manner inspired his latest painting.
"A flash of inspiration!
As someone who also works as a Pokémon observer while seeking inspiration, he laughed twice and immediately started sketching in his sketchbook.
A moment later, Yati, having finished recording, immediately looked at Xia Mu with burning eyes.
"My muse, let's continue!!"
"Hiss!"
Xia Mu couldn't help but take a step back.
Chrysanthemums, in danger!
Damn it, I knew this day would come with my charm, but I never expected a male curator like you to—
I should have known that artists are all fancy!
At this very moment, just like at that very moment, if it weren't for the fact that humans are incapable of learning skills, Xia Mu would also want to burrow into the ground like an iron ant, seeking a sense of security in the thick walls.
Unable to dig a hole himself, Xia Mu could only move the Claydol's Poké Ball behind him.
"I entrust my future to you, Clay Golem! By the way, the people of Flying Cloud City are all so twisted!"
