"Armaldo loses the ability to fight, Torterra wins!"
Xiao Zhi took back Torterra who was in a stiff Contest Condition. He could already roughly guess what Mr. Nando's last Pokémon would be. It must be Mr. Nando's Trump Card Kricketune, and he also prepared the most suitable Rival for Kricketune!
"I'm so looking forward to it. I wonder what Pokémon Xiao Zhi will send out!" Guessing the Pokémon Xiao Zhi will send has always been Dawn's interest and expectation. Along the way, she has seen most of Xiao Zhi's Pokémon.
"Player Nando has only one Pokémon left, what will he send to challenge?"
When the voice of the commentator fell, Nando threw the Poké Ball in cooperation, "I'll leave it to you, Kricketune!"
"It's up to you, Heracross!"
Xiao Zhi's Zerg warriors appeared again, and Dawn immediately cheered. When Heracross challenged the Zerg Elite Aaron before, she was deeply impressed!
"As always, Mr. Nando, let's face off!" Xiao Zhi's battles in the Sinnoh Region were almost all head-on battles with the same attributes. It can be said that Xiao Zhi has grown the most during his trip to the Sinnoh Region!
"That's it!" Nando was also infected by Xiao Zhi's spirit. He had only the last Kricketune left and could only No Retreat, "Use Silver Wind!"
On the stage of the Contest competition, Kricketune's Silver Wind's performance was very eye-catching, and it was also amazing in this battle competition!
But Xiao Zhi still smiled, "Thank you!"
Heracross opened the wings on its back and headed towards the Silver Wind, but used its agility to avoid it and hit Kricketune hard!
This is an attack that is sure to hit, and the Flying-type Aerial Ace is even more effective against Kricketune, gaining the upper hand in just one encounter!
"Kricketune, use Sing!" Nando calmed down, stroked the harp, and seemed to have finally found his battle rhythm!
Kricketune's Sing skill has been seen many times on the Contest stage. At the Grand Festival, he also played the role of musician and dancer with Jackrabbit, which left a deep impression on Xiao Zhi, who was the judge!
So now that he knew he was going to challenge Kricketune, Xiao Zhi certainly had this consideration in mind, "Close Combat!"
After the words fell, Heracross pounced on him again. It was impossible for a skill like Sing to take effect immediately and make Rival fall asleep immediately. It required an activation process.
Xiao Zhi didn't give it a chance to sing. He pounced on it and punched it, forcibly interrupting Kricketune's singing and sending it flying backwards!
But Close Combat's attack was not over yet. Heracross flapped its wings again and stepped forward. Both its arms and its huge insect horns were shining with the white light of Fighting. The speed displayed at this moment was really terrifying!
"Sure enough, this move is impossible to have an effect on Xiao Zhi!" Nando accepted the reality in front of him, and it was impossible not to challenge him head-on, "In this case, use the continuous cut!"
Rival is a Bug Type skill that uses its claws to cut Rival to attack. If you hit continuously, Wei Li will increase your cooking!
Kricketune did not hesitate to engage in close combat with Heracross. The pair of insect-like claws shone with a ferocious red light and struck at Heracross, but the latter easily avoided it!
Close Combat is a skill that gives up defense and attacks with all its strength. The Fighting type Pokémon under Xiao Zhi have each developed their own Close Combat mode!
Heracross avoided the knife and raised his hand to grab Kricketune. The terrifying power exploded in an instant, forcing him to the ground. The huge insect horns shone with light.
Hit it hard!
one time!
Twice!
Three times!
But on the third hit, Kricketune escaped!
Nando was trembling all over. He was infected by Xiao Zhi's courage. The spirit of this Close Combat was so hot that the whole audience was already excited.
"This is the future Pokémon Master, with absolutely no power to resist! But, this is Kricketune... No, it's my battle!" Nando understood very well that Kricketune was seriously injured to the limit, and the next step was the last move!
"Kricketune, use Sing!" He still insisted on his fighting style.
Being able to still fight your own battle when facing a strong enemy that you can't fight against is a sign of your maturity as a Trainer. This is very difficult!
However, Xiao Zhi issued the decisive command at this moment, "Mega Horn!"
Heracross, who was not far away, suddenly erupted, and with one dive, the giant horn stabbed into the field at Kricketune's feet. This sudden figure also interrupted Kricketune's Sing again!
Then, Heracross's best attack broke out, and the gravel on the field and Kricketune were thrown into the air by it, and then hit the ground hard!
~ Kricketune!" Nando exclaimed [but Kricketune has fallen to the ground and cannot move!
After the smoke cleared, the referee made the final decision, "Kricketune lost the ability to fight, Heracross won, so the winner is Xiao Zhi from Pallet Town!"
"Three to zero, it's overwhelmingly powerful! Very good, this is the only way to defeat you!" Paul gritted his teeth, turned and left, and his battle was about to begin!
Before Xiao Zhi, Ah Xun and Conway had already completed their respective competitions and successfully advanced.
Darkrai's game was even more shocking. He defeated Rival with just one Darkrai, so Xiao Zhi didn't even bother to watch his game!
The first game was still going on. Mr. Nando found Xiao Zhi and his team, "Xiao Zhi, you are really good at understanding Rival's thoughts and manipulating Rival's actions. I was led by you at the beginning. But in the end , I fought my own battle, and although I lost, I feel very happy now!"
"This is really amazing (Wang Zhao's)!" Xiao Zhi smiled and nodded. During his battle with the Elite Four, even the Elite Four sometimes lost their way!
"I will embark on a spiritual journey again. Let's meet again somewhere in the future!" Nando's game is over. He has no intention of staying, but is going to leave!
"The first round of games ended one after another, and the winner of the last game was announced. As expected, player Paul won three to zero and successfully advanced!"
In the second round of the game, Xiao Zhi met a passerby, Trainer, whose strength was about the same as Ah Xun. Xiao Zhi sent out a team of Muk, Shavarang and Snorlax, easily defeated Rival, and successfully advanced to third place. round of competition!
By the third round, there were only 16 participating Trainers left!
