Chapter 143 Sounding the Horn of Counterattack
The simplest way to stop a spinning top is to press your finger on the center of the top, and the same applies to the little blacksmith in this situation.
As the young blacksmith spun and charged wildly, her weakest point of defense was directly above him.
Xia Mu was naturally aware of this as well.
Therefore, when Blaziken leaped up and launched a flying kick at the little blacksmith, Natsuki immediately responded.
"90 degrees!"
"Clang clang!"
Upon hearing Xia Mu's command, the young blacksmith shouted and stomped his little foot hard into the ground.
boom!
click!
With a tremendous roar, the young blacksmith, his waist and stance in perfect harmony, used his terrifying strength to forcefully change the direction of the hammer's swing.
After that, it's hard to say whether the young blacksmith leaped into the air or the sledgehammer carried him away.
In short...—
"It flew up! The little blacksmith used his own strength to forcibly change the direction of the spin. The black top—no, at this moment it was completely a black circular saw blade—flew towards the flames!"
Whoohoo!
Upon seeing the little blacksmith approaching at incredible speed, Blaziken, with nowhere to dodge in mid-air, narrowed its eyes and chose to grit its teeth and kick head-on:
Boom boom boom!
Blaziken's flame-wrapped feet left afterimages as it stomped through the air.
The hammer, enveloped in dark energy, and the Foshan Shadowless Flame Kick clashed dozens of times in just a few seconds.
Amidst the continuous roaring sounds, the power for spinning and taking off was gradually exhausted.
So the young blacksmith had no choice but to hold the sledgehammer in front of him.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the young blacksmith crashed to the ground at an extremely fast speed.
boom!
As yellow smoke billowed, Blaziken successfully dissipated the force with a backflip and landed steadily on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhu Guang immediately started speaking passionately.
"The situation changed drastically in an instant. Xia Mu made a wrong decision, and the little blacksmith was kicked hard into the ground!!"
Despite having the upper hand, Xiaoyao couldn't relax after hearing Zhuguang's shout.
Others might not have noticed, but May knew Blaziken very well, as it had been by her side since Torchic, and thus she keenly perceived the pain Blaziken showed the moment it landed.
Clearly, in the previous exchange, Blaziken successfully knocked down Little Blacksmith, but he himself was also in bad shape.
At the very least, he experienced discomfort in both feet.
Moreover, based on Xiaoyao's understanding of Natsuki, this battle would definitely not end so easily.
Just like Xiaoyao thought.
As the yellow smoke dissipated, the young blacksmith, with a few scratches on his body, spat out the dust in his mouth, picked up the sledgehammer, and looked full of energy, even giving the impression of being overly excited.
At this moment, the little blacksmith looked at the Blaziken just as Tom saw Jerry, Naruto saw Sasuke, and Kurenai saw you.
Her excitement was palpable; she finally understood what Xia Mu meant by welcoming a miracle.
"Clang clang!"
This is the opportunity that led to my evolution!
Zhu Guang was also very excited.
"The little blacksmith has stood up! She hasn't lost her fighting ability; in fact, she seems even more determined than before!"
"Quickly finish the battle! Charged Flame Strike!"
"Baka!"
Blaziken clenched its fist and roared like a Saiyan transforming, engulfing itself in raging flames.
Fire-type Pokémon have always been top-notch in terms of fighting spirit.
Just like Emboar, Blaziken is also like this.
Even though the pain in his feet made him uncomfortable, at this moment, the pain did not become an obstacle to the battle; on the contrary, it made him even more excited.
"Baka!"
Blaziken charged at the blacksmith with incredible speed, then unleashed a powerful kick with its long, flaming legs.
Duang!
Blaziken didn't stop after missing its first attack.
Before the young blacksmith could swing his hammer in retaliation, he did several backflips to widen the distance between them again, and then launched a fierce attack on the young blacksmith from another direction.
Duang!
Duang!
Duang!
For a moment, all that could be seen was a streak of red lightning attacking the unmoving blacksmith.
But, as the old saying goes...
Prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat, and the speed boost provided by the Charged Flame Strike to Blaziken further enhances its capabilities.
No matter how quick-witted the little blacksmith was or how solid her defense was, she gradually began to suffer damage from the Blaziken's continuous attacks.
"Clang clang!"
When Blaziken appeared behind the blacksmith again and kicked out, Xia Mu knew.
If this situation continues, forget about the prize money for winning the championship; the little blacksmith might even lose his ability to fight before he even evolves.
Xia Mu frowned.
The young blacksmith, lacking the ability to see through attacks from behind, was unable to perceive the blows coming from behind.
Currently, the young blacksmith can use his hammer for defense, and there's no need to worry about what's behind him.
"Young blacksmith, hide behind the referee!"
"ah?!"
The referee on the sidelines was stunned, but the Padia bully acted without the slightest hesitation.
"Clang clang!"
The blacksmith, dragging his sledgehammer, immediately stood back-to-back with the referee.
"No, wait a moment—"
"Baka!"
Before the referee could finish speaking, Blaziken kicked out.
Duang!
With a loud thud right next to the ruler, the referee couldn't help but cover his ears. Only then did he realize that his neat and smooth straight hair seemed to have turned slightly curly.
Just one Flame Kick and it's like this? If it happens a few more times, won't my smooth, straight hair...?
"wait.-
Duang!
"save---"
Duang!
"I--"
Duang!
Amidst the deafening noise, no one else on the sidelines could hear the referee's cries for help.
Looking at the scene before him...
Even with his exceptionally experienced commentary, Zhu Guang was stunned for a long time before finally realizing what was happening.
"The little blacksmith chose to use the referee to cover his back, rendering Blaziken's continuous attacks ineffective. However, is using the referee as part of the battle a violation of the rules?"
"Okay, according to the information, there is no such rule in the current battle rules of the United Alliance. Xia Mu has not violated the rules. Moreover, it seems that everything is still under the referee's control, and he has not chosen to call for help from outside the arena!"
"I @#@￥#￥%..—.%"
Seeing the attack so close to the goal, the referee had countless curses stuck in his throat, unable to utter them.
Which eye of yours saw that the situation was under my control?!
Do you think any referee would feel perfectly fine after being dragged into a fierce battle between two Pokémon?!
And shouldn't I ask for help?
I'm too scared to ask for help right now!
Thinking back to the cold look the young blacksmith had given him when he was calling for help, the referee had no doubt that if he continued, the blacksmith, feeling disturbed, would throw him out as a weapon.
Duang!
Duang!
Hearing the piercing sound, the referee regretted his decision.
Why didn't I choose to retreat to the sidelines during this particular round?
Why did I choose to be a referee?
Why isn't this battle over yet?
How much longer am I going to have to live like this?
But at the very moment the referee uttered his lament...
"Wow!"
"This is!"
"The Little Blacksmith"
Amidst the commotion, the referee opened his eyes and discovered that the bully who had just been threatening him with his eyes was now enveloped in white light.
As the light distorted, it dissipated.
A loli with a single ponytail appeared in everyone's sight.
"Clang!"
"The little blacksmith evolved into a master blacksmith during the battle!"
Xia Mu was also very excited to see this.
"Then it's time to sound the horn of counterattack!"
"Clang!"
