"Next up is the elimination round, where 32 teams will be narrowed down to 16!"
"The contestant on the left is Natsuki from Raven City, and the contestant on the right is Akira from the Kanto region!"
"Then let the battle begin!"
At the referee's instruction, Xia Mu and Xiao Ming simultaneously sent out their Pokémon.
"You're the one, Sandslash!"
"Go, Clay Giant!"
Although he was focused on ending the battle as soon as possible, Xia Mu was not careless at all when facing Xiao Ming, who had been traveling for who knows how long.
It would be embarrassing to say you'll sweep the top three spots, but then lose in the round of 32.
Xia Mu was still thinking about showing off in front of Xiao Yao and Zi after winning the championship.
Therefore, Xia Mu directly dispatched his strongest combat force, and so did Xiao Ming.
After all, apart from his old partner, no matter which Pokémon Xia Mu sent out, he was not confident of victory.
In order to achieve a general level, he directly dispatched his ace—the Mountain King!
However, upon seeing the opponent's Pokémon, Xiaoming immediately abandoned his most proficient digging tactic.
Making Sandslash dig a hole in front of Claydol is practically suicide.
Although he comes from the Kanto region, Xiaoming is quite familiar with the Clay Doll.
after all.
One of his goals in coming to the Unova region was to capture a Clay Golem.
Over the years of his travels, perhaps due to his fondness for Sandslash, or perhaps because he is more skilled at training Ground-type Pokémon, he is now gradually moving towards becoming a Ground-type expert.
The opportunity to come to the Unova region and participate in the Youth Cup came from an online video I saw by chance one afternoon.
This huge and fierce Pokémon is simply my dream warrior!
So he crossed the sea and came to the Unova region.
"I never expected to witness it in real life, it's really exciting!"
Xiao Ming pulled out the whip from his waist and swung it sharply.
Snapped!
The Sandslash immediately began running across the field at an extremely fast speed.
Xia Mu's expression remained unchanged as he watched this scene.
Although Xiaoming relied on his tacit understanding with the Mountain King to choose to use the sound of the whip instead of verbal commands, making it impossible for him to take corresponding countermeasures based on the other party's instructions.
However, Xia Mu keenly noticed that even though Sandslash was Xiao Ming's ace Pokémon, its level was about the same as that of Claydol.
Having been out and about for so long, it's unclear whether the Clay Doll Giant recovered its former level due to the careful care of the Green Vine Serpent or by gradually regaining its former strength after waking up.
In short, when Xia Mu and the others were at the beauty salon, the breeder who massaged the Clay Golem confirmed that the Clay Golem's level was definitely above level 60.
According to Xia Mu's observation, the level of the Pangolin King is basically in the range of 60 to 70.
To be honest, it's not bad.
After all, energy levels become increasingly difficult to improve as you progress.
Xiaoming's ability to train a pangolin into a mainstay of the museum in just a few years is truly remarkable.
of course.
Even though the Pangolin King was of a higher level than the Clay Golem, it couldn't cause Xia Mu the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Battles are never about comparing levels; otherwise, Natsuki would never have earned a single badge since starting at his first gym.
After all, from the very first gym, Natsuki had never fought a battle without a huge level difference.
Although, in many cases, Natsuki brought these situations upon himself.
But these are not the main points.
The key point is that, observing the way the Sand King is acting, Xia Mu knows...
Xiao Ming's thoughts were similar to his own.
Without any significant advantage in level or attributes, Sandslash's best approach to dealing with the large and heavy Clay Golem is to rely on its agility.
Then, during the intervals between attacking or dodging attacks, try to increase your damage output.
Snapped!
Another crisp sound.
Pangolin, who was circling the clay giant, suddenly stopped.
"My throat is trembling!"
With a low shout, the Pangolin brought its two white claws together, and a small, earth-yellow ball condensed at the tip of its claws.
Upon closer inspection, one can even see small vortexes spinning rapidly within the energy sphere.
Then, Pangolin threw the small energy ball into the air.
boom!
A loud bang followed.
Yellow sand filled the sky, and a large amount of yellow sand blocked out the sun.
In a short time.
The entire battlefield was completely shrouded in a thick, swirling sandstorm.
In the suddenly darkened arena, Xia Mu could only hear the sounds of countless rapidly spinning pebbles and sand striking the clay giant's hard body.
This scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone around.
Some trainers who were already amazed by the Claydol's massive size felt even more admiration for the trainer wielding the whip after witnessing this scene.
Although he may not look particularly impressive, his strength is extraordinary.
They initially thought this might be another crushing battle, but clearly, Xiaoming showed them what it means to judge a book by its cover.
At the same time, Xiaoming also let them know.
Sometimes, even when enjoying melon seeds (a Chinese idiom for being overly enthusiastic or sarcastic), safety should be a priority. (A sarcastic comment follows: "So fierce—·Eggplant, pshaw!")
"Who set off a sandstorm in this place? It hurts!"
"Damn it, I can't see the opponent anymore! Oh well, Golduck, use your water gun in front of me!"
"Don't even think about it, Electric Dragon, use Discharge!"
"Hey~ I'm the referee! Who hit me at a time like this?!"
......
Facing opponents like Xia Mu and the Clay Giant, Xiao Ming dared not hold back in the slightest.
Thus, with a Gym Leader-level Pokémon unleashing its full power, the sandstorm not only enveloped the battlefield where Golem was located, but also spread outwards at an astonishing speed.
The onlookers, the trainers battling, and—Karuni enjoying the music.
Everyone instantly experienced the sensation of sandstorms.
Seeing the commotion around her, Karune frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to let Gardevoir take action.
Using Gardevoir's psychic powers, trapping a sandstorm of this magnitude in the battlefield is an easy task.
just.
"What a pity, I was hoping to wait until Natsuki finished his battle to discuss the theme song with him."
Once Gardevoir is sent out, even if it has undergone careful disguise, its true form will be discovered instantly by these trainers.
Karuni shook her head regretfully.
Just as she was about to touch the Poké Ball, Natsuki finally issued his first command since the start of the battle.
"Please let it rain!"
boom!
In an instant, a beam of light pierced through the thick yellow sand, allowing the sun to shine into the battlefield once again.
