Chương 37: Chapter 37: Thrilling Victory
"Throw it out!"
Seeing this, the Champion clenched his fists tightly. As long as he could use the momentum from Rollout to throw Sandshrew away, the outcome would be decided!
"Not good! Sandshrew, quickly use Sand Attack to cover Primeape!"
Seismic Toss was a move that utilized gravity to throw the enemy away, and Ryoma hadn't expected Primeape could use this method to create enough gravity to perfectly counter Sandshrew's Rollout!
Moreover, combined with the speed of Rollout, the power of this Seismic Toss would be incredibly terrifying!
"Sha!"
Sandshrew sensed the impending danger and immediately unleashed all its Ground-type energy without hesitation!
Instantly, a cloud of dust formed between the two Pokémon. Accompanied by the Rollout of both Pokémon, countless grains of sand began to envelop their bodies, turning them into a sandball that slammed into the protective wall of the arena!
Boom!
A violent roar erupted as the sandball crashed heavily against the wall, instantly breaking apart into countless flying particles of sand, while the two Pokémon were also forced apart by the strong impact, sent soaring into the air and crashing down hard onto the ground!
"What?"
As both Pokémon fell to the ground, the audience gasped in astonishment, all straining their necks to see the final result of the battle.
"Get up, Primeape!"
"You are the most fearless warrior; such damage can't possibly take you down!"
The Champion looked at the fallen Primeape, his expression turning grim as he shouted loudly, attempting to get Primeape back on its feet.
On the other side, Ryoma's expression looked much better because Sandshrew had perfectly executed the command he had given. Maintaining its Defense Curl, Sandshrew had landed safely, and Ryoma was confident that Sandshrew was fine.
His earlier command had two objectives, one being to restrain Primeape so it wouldn't be able to throw Sandshrew away.
This was the best countermeasure against an attack like Seismic Toss. Just like in the animation with Ash Ketchum's Charizard, which loved to grab its opponent and then fly high to use Seismic Toss, the typical countermeasure for opponents was to firmly hold onto Charizard, preventing it from throwing them off.
The ultimate victory would depend on which Pokémon could endure!
Additionally, the sand surrounding both Pokémon served as a buffer; after all, the impact generated by combining Seismic Toss with Rollout was incredibly fearsome, and Ryoma could not guarantee Sandshrew wouldn't be injured.
However, looking at the current situation, it seemed Primeape had been knocked out due to the recoil, while Sandshrew, with Primeape as its buffer, suffered little to no harm.
A perfect outcome!
Just as Ryoma had anticipated, after a moment, the ball formed by Sandshrew slowly unfurled, and Sandshrew regained its composure. It shook its head and looked around, appearing a bit dazed, but judging by its appearance, it seemed to have sustained no injuries.
"Oh!!!"
"Sandshrew is back on its feet! It looks like the outcome has been determined!"
"Thanks to Sandshrew's perfect control of Sand Attack, it successfully defeated Primeape!"
Upon seeing Sandshrew stand up, the host immediately shouted excitedly. At the same time, the referee made the judgment that Primeape had lost its fighting ability, causing the entire arena to erupt in cheers!
"Who is that guy? There can't be many young people in Aloha City with such a powerful Sandshrew!"
As the Champions watched Primeape lose its fighting ability, their expressions turned grim, realizing that this Sandshrew was quite troublesome. It seemed that the next challengers would find it hard to compete against this individual!
"Sandshrew? Wait, I think I've seen that somewhere before!"
At this moment, a Champion suddenly spoke up in confusion. After searching on his phone for a moment, he exclaimed, "Found it! This is the challenger who took down the Starry Sky Pokémon Club two days ago!"
"What? The Starry Sky Pokémon Club was defeated?"
The other Champions were taken aback. It was known that the Praying Mantis, Tyrant, and other Champions of the Starry Sky Pokémon Club were seasoned trainers. Even they couldn't stop this challenger?
"The final match was handled by Praying Mantis, but he still lost!"
This statement shocked everyone again. After ten battles, it turned out that the last match was also handled by Praying Mantis.
Even with such circumstances, they lost; this challenger was truly terrifying!
"Here's the video of the final match; take a look."
Soon, all the Champions gathered in a circle and began watching the video on the phone.
The more they watched, the more astonished they became, especially at the spinning Sand Attack that defeated Scyther, leaving them speechless with shock.
This combination move was something they had never seen before.
Both the multitasking technique and perfect control over Sand Attack were not skills that just any Pokémon could master.
The difficulty level of this was such that some Pokémon might spend their entire lives without achieving it; this was what was referred to as talent!
"A bunch of trash! Just a Sandshrew, and you let it take you down like this?"
At that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the entrance. All eyes turned to see a boy with green hair.
"Kenji!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, all the Champions were taken aback, their faces immediately showing anger.
"Leave the next battle to me!"
"I really don't understand why my father brought such useless people here!"
"Better to just close the doors early!"
Kenji held a disdainful smirk, ignoring the displeased expressions of the Champions as he walked directly toward the arena.
"You must be Ryoma, right?"
"At the Starry Sky Pokémon Club, you successfully overturned their arena and challenged them?"
As Ryoma was quietly waiting for the next challenger to take the stage, he heard a mocking voice. Looking over, he saw the green-haired Kenji.
"You're the next challenger?" Ryoma frowned.
"Challenger? No, I am the Champion of the Club," Kenji said arrogantly. "Your opponent from now on is me. If you can succeed in defeating me, then you can consider it a successful Defend the Title!"
"After all, those trash challengers are of no use; continuing to fight is just a waste of time!"
Boom!
The remark sparked outrage, and the challengers who were preparing to sign up turned red in the face upon hearing Kenji's words.
This Kenji was clearly provoking all the challengers present!
Just as a hotheaded challenger was about to rush out to confront him, he was suddenly pulled back by an older challenger.
