Pokémon: Ash's Journey to Mastery

"The battle with Shota is finally here. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I believe you will win." Xiaozhi said to his Pokémon while standing in the lounge.

"Hey, Lucha..."

"Let's all win together, okay?" Xiaozhi said, opening his arms.

On the other side, Shota closed his notebook and thought about the battle with Xiaozhi.

...

"The battle between Satoshi who takes the passionate fighting route and Shota who takes the calm analytical route." Dr. Blatano exclaimed.

"These two people are in stark contrast. What kind of battle will it be? I'm looking forward to it." Karuno said with a smile.

"Okay, the second match of the Kalos League semi-finals, both players are entering the venue."

Xiaozhi and Shouta slowly walked into the venue.

Ai Lan watched Xiaozhi silently. After two battles, she knew Xiaozhi's strength and knew he would win. She was thinking about the battle with Xiaozhi tomorrow.

"Xiaozhi, I want to surpass Xiaozhi, defeat Xiaozhi, and surpass him." Shota looked at Xiaozhi and said firmly.

"Well, that's just what I want. I won't lose this time."

"Okay, this time the venue is the forest venue."

There are many dense forests on the field, which is very suitable for fighting grass-type Pokémon.

"The semi-final match between Satoshi and Shota begins now. Six Pokémons are used in the battle, and Pokémons can be changed freely. If all Pokémons held cannot fight, the match ends. If three Pokémons of one side cannot fight, there will be a halftime break for changing the venue. Both sides please show their Pokémons."

"It's decided to be you, Melentus." Xiaozhi sent out his own Pokémon first. You were so miserable in the animation. I will help you improve your performance!

The appearance of the Xicui Nianmeilu dragon startled all the audience, and they all said they had never seen anything like it.

"Why does the appearance of the Slimy Dragon look a little different from what I knew?" Shota was stunned, then he came to his senses.

"In that case, I'll ask for leave, King!"

Elf: King of Leave

Strength: Gym

Qualification: Quasi-champion

Characteristics: Lazy

Props: Leftovers

As soon as the King of Leave appeared on the stage, he fell lazily to the ground.

Xiu Lijia immediately thought that the King of Taking Leave was so cute and wanted to hug him.

"The ancient form of Smelly Dragon has the attributes of a Steel Dragon, which is just right for resisting. Xiaozhi has a great advantage." Hitler analyzed.

"Go ahead and use the cannon."

The slimy dragon gathered the light from its body into its mouth and spit out a silver light cannon.

The King of Asking for Leave took the silver light cannon head-on, his face showing an unsightly look.

"Then use Jetfire."

Xiaozhi's command made Shota stunned. If Xiaozhi continued to use special attacks, coupled with his strength advantage, the Double Retaliate tactic would not be activated. However, after all, they had been in actual combat for so long and with some reminders from Xiaozhi, they quickly readjusted.

The slimy dragon roared, and hot flames gathered in its mouth and then gushed out.

"Hurry up and use the arm hammer."

Hearing Shota's command, the Leave King stood up slowly, poured fighting energy into his fist, and it glowed red. He met the flames with his fist.

Soon, his fist turned black and then red. He covered his hand in pain. Then he felt a strong sense of fatigue and fell to the ground. He couldn't get up. This was the influence of his laziness.

"The King of Leave uses laziness."

Although the King of Asking for Leave was unable to move at this time, he could use some other skills. He yawned, and green light appeared on his body, and his injuries were slightly recovered.

"In that case, let's use the Retreat method here." Xiaozhi knew that the biggest weakness of a Pokémon like Absentee was that it would fight for one round and then rest for one round, so he would use the strengthening flow to kill him.

The slimy dragon curled up its body, and at the same time, a silver light appeared on its body, making it as hard as steel.

Shota quickly understood Xiaozhi's instructions and why he did this.

"As expected of Xiaozhi, he came up with a countermeasure so quickly. It seems that I have no choice but to take the initiative to attack with 100,000 horsepower."

However, due to his laziness being too annoying, after hearing the order, the King of Leave took a while to get up, and with amazing momentum gathered in his big iron-like hand, he rushed towards the Sticky Melon.

"Take it head on and use Dragon Wave." Xiaozhi did not think of running away, because after the Smelly Dragon became ancient, it had a shell on its back that made it heavier and ran slower.

The Slimy Melu Dragon took the hand of the King of Leave head-on and retreated slightly. Then it opened its mouth, gathered the dragon energy in its mouth, and spit out a deep purple dragon-shaped wave, which it released towards the King of Leave, causing the King of Leave to suffer full damage.

The King of Asking for Leave was swallowed by the dark purple dragon and fell heavily to the ground with serious injuries on his body.

"The final blow was one hundred thousand volts."

"Oh no, get out of the way quickly." Shota shouted anxiously.

The King of Asking for Leave had just stood up when he felt a wave of exhaustion throughout his body. His movements suddenly became extremely slow. He was baptized by the golden electric current and fell heavily to the ground with circles around his eyes.

"The King of Leave is no longer able to fight. The Slimy Dragon wins."

"Thank you for your hard work. It was my misjudgment, King of Leave." Shota took back the King of Leave and said comforting words to the Poké Ball.

"It's your turn next, Skarner." Shota took a deep breath and sent out the second Pokémon.

Elf: Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp

Strength: Gym

Qualification: Quasi-champion

Features: Super Launcher

Props: Mysterious water droplets

"The cannon shrimp sprays water."

A stream of azure water appeared on the body of the Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp and rushed towards the Slimy Melon, causing his body to tilt slightly.

"Next is the Dragon Wave."

The Cannon Shrimp fired a dark purple dragon-shaped wave from its large claws.

"We also use Dragon Wave."

The slimy dragon opened its mouth, condensed energy and spit out a deep purple dragon-shaped wave.

The two dragon-shaped waves devoured each other, and then the dragon-shaped wave opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the steel cannon arm shrimp.

"Hurry up and use the water jet to get out of the way."

The steel cannon shrimp quickly let its body be wrapped by the azure water flow, using the water flow as a propulsion force, and flew rapidly into the air, dodging the bite of the dragon-shaped wave.

"Did you dodge it? Then use Pray for Rain." Xiaozhi didn't believe that you could dodge the electric-type move when you were covered in rain.

As Shota was familiar with Satoshi, he quickly guessed what was going to happen.

The slimy dragon let out a cry towards the sky, and soon a drop of water fell from the sky, followed by a drizzle that wet the ground.

"Thunder." Xiaozhi directly used the skill that was sure to hit the target under the rain, which just happened to restrain the Cannon Shrimp.

The slimy dragon condensed strong electric light, making a crackling sound, and shot out amazing lightning, attacking the Cannon Shrimp.

"Oh no, thunder is bound to hit when it rains, use it quickly and hold on."

The body of the cannon shrimp was wrapped in a green protective cover. The strong electric current hit the protective cover, and cracks soon appeared. Bang, the protective cover was shattered and hit the cannon shrimp.

The steel cannon shrimp felt numb all over and fell to the ground.

"The Cannon Shrimp lost its ability to fight, and the Slimy Melu Dragon won."
