The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

In the Journey animation, before the start of the Eight Masters Tournament, Shinji went to help Satoshi with special training.

Back to the present.

"Then how about having a Pokémon battle with me? You can use three Pokémon. If you want to know which Pokémon a trainer is best at using and see the balance of types, three-on-three is the best way," Shinji said.

"Okay, let's fight, who's afraid of who?"

"The rules are just as I said. It's three on three. No substitutions. You have to fight one by one. The first one to win two games wins."

"no problem."

"Well, you guys can fight in the backyard of my research institute, and I will be your referee." Dr. Yamanashi said.

Everyone came to the backyard of the institute.

"Wow, this is my first time watching a live Pokémon battle." Xiaoguang said excitedly.

"Then just watch carefully from the side, the Pokémon battle is very exciting." Xiaozhi said.

"Hmph." Shinji sneered.

"why are you laughing."

"I just think you are quite naive. Is this the man who has won three conference championships?"

Hearing that Shinji knew him so well, Xiaozhi also became fully alert and prepared for the battle.

"Okay, get ready to fight, go ahead, Muk'er."

This Mukle is level 13, with the special ability of Sharp Eyes, and its own hit rate will not be reduced.

"Mukele, it's decided that it's you, get ready to fight."

"Muk."

"I'll let you attack first." Shinji said.

"Then I won't be polite, Muk'er, use your wings to attack."

The wing attack hit Shinji's Mukor head-on.

"Great, it hit the mark." Xiaoguang said happily.

"But it didn't cause much damage. It seemed that Shinji was just testing the attack power of Satoshi's Muk'r." Dr. Yamanashi said.

"Mukele, use Swallow Return."

"Muker, use the wind to the rear."

Shinji's Mukle used the Swallow Return attack, but was stopped by the wind and could not get close to Xiaozhi's Mukle.

"Now is the time, M'k'er, to attack with your wings."

"M'k'er, use Shadow Clone."

Shinji's Mukle split into many clones, and Xiaozhi's Mukle only destroyed one clone and did not hit the original body of Shinji's Mukle.

"Mukele, use Swallow Return."

"Mukle, use your wings to attack the ground."

A bunch of M'kles attacked Xiaozhi's M'kle at the same time, but Xiaozhi's M'kle simply flapped its wings on the ground, causing sand to fly all over the sky, breaking all the shadow clones.

"Now is the time, Muk'er, to use the Swallow Return."

Xiaozhi's Mukle took the opportunity to hit Shinji's Mukle with a Swallow Return.

"Give it the final blow, M'k'l, with a lightning strike."

"Muke!"

With a flash of lightning, he hit Shinji's Mukor head-on and defeated him.

"Shinji's Muckle loses its ability to fight, and Satoshi's Muckle wins."

When he saw his own Mukle being hit by Yan Fan, Shinji gave up commanding and closed his eyes, because he knew that there was no hope.

He took back Mukle coldly, with an unhappy look on his face.

"Come back, Muk'er, is this all your strength? It seems like this kid is not very useful yet. Go, electric shock monster."

"electric shock!"

This electric monster is level 29 and has the static electricity attribute. When the opponent attacks it with a contact skill, there is a 30% chance of paralyzing the opponent each round.

"Come back, Mukher, you've been very good.

Next, little flame monkey, it's you, get ready to fight."

"Gogi!"

"Flame Monkey, use Spark."

"Electric Monster, use Thunder."

The two skills cancel each other out.

"Little Flame Monkey, use the Flame Wheel."

"Electric shock monster, use tile splitting."

The two Pokémon collided head-on again, and were evenly matched.

"Little Flame Monkey, use Dig Burrow."

"Electric monster, use Thunder on the hole."

"Little Flame Monkey, come out of the hole quickly."

"Electric monster, use hold."

After receiving Ash's order, Infernape immediately came out of the burrow, but its burrowing trick was blocked by the protective shield guarded by the Electric Monster.

Then the electric monster used thunder to hit the little flame monkey head-on, causing a lot of damage to the little flame monkey.

"Shinji is a pretty good fighter, as he can actually use defense to put Infernape in a tough fight," said Dr. Yamanashi.

"Come on, little flame monkey, use the flame wheel."

"Electric shock monster, use tile splitting."

The electric monster used the tile-splitting method to struggle against the little flame monkey that was covered in flames.

"I don't know if you've noticed that the little flame monkey has already used all his strength, but the electric monster still has his left hand to use.

Electric shock monster, use lightning fist. "

"Flame Monkey's attack hasn't reached its full strength yet. Flame Monkey, use Sparks."

The electric monster condensed a lightning fist in his left hand and punched the little flame monkey. The little flame monkey used the flame wheel and spit sparks from his mouth to attack.

However, the sparks were clearly no match for the lightning fist.

"Now, try your best, go ahead, little flame monkey, use sparks."

Xiaozhi roared loudly.

In order to respond to the expectations of its trainer Ash, Infernape opened fire at full power, and the sparks from its mouth grew bigger and bigger, and finally, turned into a blazing jet of flame.

Under the incredulous gazes of the Electric Monster and Shinji, the jet of flame hit the Electric Monster head-on, successfully knocking it away and knocking it to the ground.

"Electric Monster loses its ability to fight, and Infernape wins. Since Satoshi has already won two games, the winner is Satoshi." Dr. Yamanashi announced.

"Well, I won.

Well done, Flame Monkey, your spark has been upgraded to a jet of flame."

"Gogi!"

The little flame monkey jumped around and was very happy.

"Come back, electric shock monster."

After taking back the electric monster, Shinji took out Mukker's Poké Ball and released the Mukker that he had just used in the battle.

"You're going to release the Pokémon again." Xiaoguang said.

"You can see Muk'ers of that level everywhere. Just wait until you encounter a stronger one and then subdue him."

After Shinji finished speaking, he bowed to Dr. Yamanashi and thanked him.

"Doctor, thank you very much for lending us the venue."

"Yeah." Dr. Yamanashi nodded.

After that, Shinji put his hands in his pockets and left.

Looking at Shinji's receding back, Xiaozhi made up his mind that he must not lose to him.

After bidding farewell to Professor Yamanashi, Satoshi and Hikaru left the Yamanashi Research Institute and began their journey in the Sinnoh region.

Along the way, Xiaoguang kept talking to Pogaman, which was enough to show that Xiaoguang was very excited.

"Pogaman, guess what the first thing a trainer who goes on a trip should do is to capture Pokémon."
