Xiaozhi's Pokémon Pigeon

Xiao Ming chose to use "digging a hole", which is not a good strategy.

At least in Xiaozhi's eyes, this is not a good strategy - if Sandslash is not a ground-type Pokémon, but an electric-type Pokémon, using digging holes to hide in the ice is a great idea.

But Xiao Ming's Sandslash is a ground-type Pokémon, and ground-type Pokémon are very afraid of water.

If Xiaozhi lets Charizard use fire-type moves such as "Flame Jet" or "Explosion" on the ground, the entire ice field will turn into a water field, which can be fatal to Sandslash.

Unless this Sandsandruff is alive and immune to water, but that is impossible, absolutely impossible!

Sandslash is immune to water, which is rarer than Snorlax who can do the butterfly stroke or Tyrannosaurus who can surf.

Putting aside such an outrageous answer, Xiaozhi just felt that Xiaoming seemed to have lost his mind in the cruel Pokémon battle.

Just give up the tactics and fight Xiao Ming head-on!

After much thought, Xiaozhi decided that in the last battle, he would let Xiaoming regain his original intention. He would never let another person suffer the suffering that Giratina had caused him.

"Charizard, we use Stomp!"

After much deliberation, Xiaozhi decided to let Charizard use a ground-type move - originally this move should have been "Earthquake", but Charizard has a poor learning ability and cannot learn moves that are too sophisticated.

The operation of "earthquake" being both "seismic center" and "aftershock" is too crude and too delicate at the same time. Just because Squirtle can do this doesn't mean Charizard can do it; just because Bulbasaur can understand the idea of ​​this move doesn't mean Charizard can understand it.

After a while, Charizard could just master a "Stomp", which was pretty good.

You can't ask Charizard to have "hard work and sweat" while also having unique skill mechanisms and top-notch operations, right? You can't have both. This problem has already been discussed in "Mencius".

Excluding Ash's Pikachu, there is only one Pikachu in the world that has put in the most effort and sweat, and has top-notch operation and unique mechanism (meaning it has no health bar).

The moment Charizard's "Stomp" landed, the entire ice field couldn't help but shake. This is the advantage of high values. Even if this move is really rough, the high values ​​can make up for the rough operation.

"no!"

At this moment, the Sandshrew is under the ice. Xiao Ming is not afraid of attacks from the water. He has really trained the Sandshrew to not be afraid of the ice surface breaking caused by the water's "heavy step", but this makes the Sandshrew have to be afraid:

Could it be that he had already thought of my idea of ​​having a water fight with him?

Xiao Ming never thought that Xiaozhi was so unexpected. In an ice environment where he could set fire to melt the surrounding ice, he could actually restrain his desire to set fire and choose to use "Stomp".

"Come out, Sandshang King!"

Seeing that his plan was disrupted again, he simply changed it.

After receiving the order, Sandslash came out from behind Charizard in one breath, showed its claws, and swung them directly at the back of Charizard's head.

"Ripping Claws"!

Although Charizard has advantages in size, strength, and special attacks, it is inevitable that it will stumble due to its large size, so it can gain an advantage by relying on flexible movements.

Sure enough, the battle unfolded as Xiao Ming had imagined. Charizard was able to react when Sandslash appeared from behind it, and was immediately ready to use "Split" to counterattack. However, Charizard was huge in size, so it was inevitable that it staggered and had difficulty moving around, and was hit on the head by Sandslash's "Rip Claw".

"Hit!"

Xiao Ming raised his whip. He and Sandshrew had been communicating with each other using the whip. With the crisp sound of the whip, Xiao Ming's meaning was very clear:

"Very good, just do it like this!"

Charizard is wearing a yellow helmet, which reduces the damage caused by its "Rending Claws". It doesn't matter, just use a few more hits and it will be fine.

At least that’s what Xiao Ming thought, and that’s what Chuan Shan Wang did:

After a successful attack, Sandslash dodged Charizard's "Cleave" attack, turned its head to create distance, and continued to use "Dig" to hide under the ice.

Charizard can choose to fly into the sky, but it will only become the target of Sandslash on the ground. Ground-type Pokémon all have the ability to attack Pokémon in the sky.

Just like Sandslash will use "Stone Attack" or "Throw" to transform into a ground turret.

Xiaozhi understood this, so in order to ensure that he could fight back and not become a unilateral target of attack, Xiaozhi and Charizard could only fight on the ground.

"Charizard, keep on stomping!"

The victory was decided by the ground-type move "Stomp". With Charizard's stomping again, the entire ice-type field began to shake continuously.

The Sandshrew was also attacked by falling ice fragments under the ice, but it did not get out:

Now is not the time!

Sandshrew is waiting for Xiao Ming's order. Now Xiao Ming uses the whip to give the order to let it continue to use "digging holes" underground.

"Are you still not coming out? Charizard, continue to use "Stomp."

Xiaozhi can be considered a "Flying-Type Emperor who turned into a Ground-Type Master". Since Sandslash doesn't want to come out, he will use "Stomp" to force it out.

Of course Xiaozhi can choose to set fire, but at the same time he also feels that people’s hearts should not be so cold, and he must give his opponent a chance.

Charizard's "Stomp" attack is still going on, and the entire ice field is becoming more and more unstable. Xiao Ming's Sandslash is still enduring the falling ice cubes under the ice field and continues to dig.

Until the entire ice surface can no longer bear it!

"Come on, come on!"

Xiao Ming was completely surprised that Xiaozhi didn't use fire attacks, but Xiao Ming would not give up. Even if they burned until the last moment, he and Sandslash would not give up.

A Pokémon Trainer's journey will only end when they give up.

"It's now!"

Finally, when the entire ice surface was no longer solid, Xiao Ming launched a new attack:

"Sandsand King, use "Sharp Stone Attack"!"

At this time, the Sandshrew no longer endured it and jumped out directly from under the ice. It was this action that caused the already shaky ice surface to completely lose control and finally collapsed.

The Charizard was trapped in the ice. It was already unsteady and inflexible due to its huge size, and now it was buried in the ice in the pit, making it even more inflexible.

This is Xiao Ming's only chance to defeat Charizard. Sandslash uses all his strength to create several sharp stones. He transforms himself into a turret and fires these sharp stones at Charizard with overwhelming momentum.

These sharp stones fell right on Charizard's body, directly generating explosion dust.

Charizard is a Fire and Flying-type Pokémon, and its Rock-type moves are 4 times stronger than its opponent's. How can it continue fighting after being hit head-on?

Not to mention the "Stone Attack", a powerful rock-type move. Xiaozhi had already tried it with "Rip Claws" just now, but Xiaozhi's Charizard didn't pass it, so Xiaoming didn't believe that Charizard could take this move head-on.

Xiao Ming let out a long breath. This was the first time he had an advantage over Xiao Zhi in this duel.

But his happiness did not last long. When the smoke from the explosion of the sharp stone attack surrounding the fire-breathing dragon dissipated, Xiao Ming simply stayed where he was. Only his eyes occasionally flashed, proving that Xiao Ming was a normal person:

"How can this be!"

Charizard took Sandslash's "Sharp Stone Attack" and looked like nothing happened. Although it had some injuries on its body, they were not serious. In Charizard's hand was a "convex helmet" that was already a little damaged.

The wonderful little combo of Sandslash just now was indeed extremely dangerous, but fortunately Charizard was one step ahead and took off his helmet in time. Charizard kept waving the "convex helmet" like a shield, playing ping-pong with the "sharp stone attack" attacking him.

As for the quality of the convex helmet, Charizard and the others have done experiments. Pikachu's Iron Tail cannot break a convex helmet without five consecutive attacks.

Now facing Sandslash's "sharp stone attack", Charizard doesn't believe that Sandslash can have more "effort and sweat" than Pikachu.

Charizard put the "convex helmet" back on because the attacker's convex helmet had been slightly deformed, but safety comes first so it is safer to wear the helmet.

There are two things in this world that you cannot look directly at: one is the sun in the sky, and the other is the human heart.

People's hearts are treacherous. The opponent can cunningly trap you with ice, so it is inevitable that he will use some strange little skills. Only the convex helmet can bring some sense of security to the current Charizard.

"Chuanshan King, we..."

Xiao Ming reacted and wanted to organize another attack. Pokémon trainers will not give up until the last moment, but Charizard rushed out of the ice pit, put on its helmet again, spread its wings and pounced on Sandslash:

I, Charizard, am kind-hearted. I hate it most when Ground-type Pokémon can’t fly. Now I will help you take off!

"Mountain King, move faster."

Xiao Ming looked at the Charizard that was about to pounce on him, and he also panicked. He quickly threw away the whip, forcing Sandslash to take emergency action on the broken ice.

Although the ice surface has been broken, Xiao Ming's Sandslash moves can dodge the Charizard that is rushing towards him. To be honest, this judgment is not wrong, but the premise is not to take into account the convex helmet and the tearing claws.

The Sandshrew wanted to follow Xiao Ming's instructions and take action, but for some reason it felt a sharp pain in its body and could no longer move.

Xiao Ming looked at the inexplicable wounds on the body of the immobile Sandslash and felt it was unbelievable. Even if Charizard "stomped" the ice to pieces, it couldn't have caused such serious injuries, right?

It was so full of energy when Sandslash launched the "Stone Attack" just now, but why is it so difficult to move now? Xiaozhi on the other side lowered his hat and gave Xiaoming a final explanation:

"When a contact attack is launched while the Convex Helmet is in use, the attacker will take damage.

Although your "Stone Attack" is not a contact move, the moment Sandslash's "Rip Claw" hit Charizard, it was already hurt by the convex helmet..."

Xiaozhi's words did not contain any mockery, only respect:

The moment Sandslash attacked Charizard with its "Rip Claw", the outcome of the battle was already decided. Sandslash didn't have much energy to organize another attack, but for the sake of its favorite trainer Xiao Ming, it insisted on fighting until now, and even used its "Spirit Attack" to hurt Charizard.

No matter how fast Charizard swung the Helmet, the damage could not be faked. It was a fact that Charizard was injured by the debris of "Sharp Stone Attack".

"Charizard, use Earth Throw!"

Xiaozhi turned his hat to the back of his head. This was his first battle in the Quartz Conference. It was also bad luck for the Tamer Xiaozhi. Unfortunately, in the battlefield of Pokémon trainers, there can only be one winner.

With Charizard catching Sandslash, the battle was decided. Even if Sandslash still used its claws to attack Charizard, it was useless...

The "Earth Throw" in the air was very successful, just like Xiao Ming was clearly arranged by Xiaozhi in this battle.

The referee looked at the situation, raised the red flag for promotion, and made a ruling on the fight:

"The winner is decided. The winner is Xiaozhi from Pallet Town."

The field was very quiet. Xiaozhi brought Pikachu to Charizard's side:

"We won."

Victory was achieved by crushing their dreams.

On the other side of the battlefield, Xiao Ming calmly took back the Sandslash King:

"Thank you for your hard work. We were just unlucky this time."

He wanted to cry, as his journey had been shattered by Xiaozhi. However, as a trainer, as long as he didn't give up, his journey would continue.

Xiao Ming didn't cry. He walked up to Xiao Zhi and extended his hand again:

"Congratulations, I admit that you are the best opponent, let's continue fighting next time!"

Xiaozhi looked at Xiaoming who stretched out his hand, and he also stretched out his hand, responding to Xiaoming just like he did on the boat:

"I'll be waiting for you!"

Are all Pokémon trainers such strange people?

Xiaozhi's first battle in the Quartz Conference is over. What kind of opponent will be waiting for him next? We'll talk about it next time.
