Xiaozhi's Pokémon Pigeon

Kanto's field combat is one of the most spectacular fighting methods. Its difficulty level is even higher than that of Padya's Crystallization and Galar's Gigantamax, but it's not as spectacular as others.

In addition to the difference in viewing experience, there is also danger.

For example, in this time's volcano venue, if you are not careful you will easily step into the simulated magma. Although there is a tough, fireproof asbestos net underneath to block it, the novice contestants don't know this, not to mention reckless people like Xiaozhi and Ahong who don't even read the competition instructions.

When Ryan fell into the lava, Xiaozhi and Ahong were already terrified.

"Pikachu "Falling Down"!"

Xiaozhi quickly ended the battle. The victory or defeat of Pokémon was more important to Xiaozhi.

Pikachu heard Xiaozhi's order and reborn a balloon. This time, it really came to warm up. Pikachu could have used "Float Drop" to attack from air to ground, but Xiaozhi's Pikachu was kind-hearted and didn't have the heart to use such an overwhelming tactic to put pressure on the younger Pikachu.

And what about Ryan?

At this time in the gravel, Ryan was already running like a revolving lantern. He and Hiro were also newcomers who had just started traveling this year. The only difference was that Xiaozhi was late and could only take one Pikachu out in Pallet Town, while Hiro was the newcomer who seriously led the three starter Pokémons out.

But now?

Xiaozhi and his Pikachu are too strong. Ryan felt pressure he had never felt before:

Although Ren is not Hiro's first Pokémon, the love for his trainer cannot be judged in the same way.

He wanted to win this game. Looking at the lava that was about to fall into, Ryan had to come up with a solution. Suddenly, an idea came into Ryan's mind:

"surf"!

Pikachu can indeed learn to surf, and Pikachu's surf can be used in the crater.

By making the stand into a surfboard and using telekinesis to turn the lava into waves, Ryan can rush out.

This idea is a good one, but among tens of thousands of Pikachus, only genius Pikachus can master the skill of "surfing" that can change the rules, but Ryan is just one of the tens of millions of stray Pikachus on the Kanto roadside.

"For Hiro, I believe myself to be the most unique Pikachu!"

Seeing that he was about to fall into the lava, Ryan gritted his teeth and fought for his favorite trainer, the most talented Pikachu.

Feeling the body temperature and the surrounding air pressure, he channeled his telekinesis into his body, and a substitute appeared under Ryan.

That's the surfboard for it!

As Ryan shouted "Pikachu" with all his might, a blue light of telekinesis emanated from its body, and the magma was stirred up by Ryan's telekinesis. Ryan stepped on the surfboard and forced out the "Surfing" skill which was almost impossible to force out at its current level.

"Ryan! That's..."

Hiro took out the Pokémon Guide, which began to explain the skills used by Ryan. After confirming that this was the powerful move "Surf", Hiro adjusted his state:

"Go ahead, Ryan, use Surf!"

Using lava as the waves and a surfboard made of a substitute to keep out the heat, Ryan leapt from an ordinary Pikachu to the leader of the Pikachu clan: a genius Pikachu!

The huge lava wave looked amazing, and it attacked Ash's Pikachu with the power of wind and rain. That heat was the fire of transformation from ordinary to genius.

The frightened Xiaozhi and Pikachu couldn't help but raise the balloon higher - at this angle, Ryan would not be able to reach it using surfing.

Seeing Pikachu raising the altitude of the balloon, Ryan gritted his teeth. It was fighting purely on faith.

Riding on the waves and standing on the surfboard, Ryan can't reach Pikachu, but if he abandons the surfboard and uses "Thunder" in mid-air, he will definitely be able to defeat the powerful enemy.

Thinking of this, Ryan simply jumped up from the surfboard. He wanted to win this game:

"Go ahead, Ryan, use Thunder!"

The lightning that illuminated the entire venue lit up again, which was enough to show how hard Ryan tried this time.

But things did not develop as it was envisioned.

At this moment, Xiaozhi turned his hat and the battle between him and Ahong Pikachu was about to end:

"Pikachu, "Iron Tail"!"

"Floating and Falling" is a two-part move. Using the balloon to float in the air is the first part, and falling down is the second part.

Now Pikachu and Xiaozhi drew inspiration from the method used by Korne and Hawkman yesterday to increase the gravity acceleration by "pouncing" and then use the increased gravity acceleration to strengthen the "flying pressure".

The second stage of "Floating Falling" plus "Steel Tail"!

As a Pokémon Master, you must always keep the heart of an apprentice.

This is the case for Xiaozhi at this moment. All the gyms he has been to and the good opponents he has fought against have become nutrients for Xiaozhi to become stronger.

Pikachu's tail was shining, and the balloon that was hanging on it to help it fly was broken at the same time. Using the acceleration of gravity, Pikachu was about to make his final blow to Ryan:

It used its "iron tail" to block Ryan's "thunder" and struck down heavily. Pikachu cut the fierce thunder like tofu, and it achieved the legendary "thunder cut" achievement.

Ryan never thought that Pikachu had this trick. It couldn't change its posture in the air, and it was impossible for it to dodge.

Pikachu's "Iron Tail" struck like thunder and hit Ryan's head heavily. In order to prevent Ryan from falling into the lava, Pikachu hit him outside the field this time.

The referee looked at Ryan who was knocked out of the field. Although he had seen many things in his years of refereeing, this was the first time he had seen a fight between such ferocious Pikachus.

He hurried forward to check Ryan's injuries: Ryan was seriously injured, and his flowing side bangs were swept by Pikachu's tail into the same "Kun head" as his brother.

At this time, mosquito coils were constantly burning in Ryan's eyes, white foam was coming out of his mouth, and he had completely lost his ability to fight.

The referee raised the flag in his hand: Pikachu (Ryan) has lost his ability to fight.

And what about Pikachu who defeated Ryan?

It used the reaction force of its "iron tail" hitting Ryan's head to jump onto a new rock and shook its finger at Ryan:

You can be considered a genius among the Pikachu clan, but that is just the threshold to meet me!

There is not the slightest weakening of physical strength in this state, and Ash's Pikachu is showing his full effort and sweat.

Only Brother Chao will use his dominant body and rush towards the enemy without hesitation.

The value of this sentence is still rising.

Although Ryan was surfing aggressively, Brother Chao was not afraid at all. He used his "Iron Tail" to knock Ryan out without hesitation.

"Come back, Ryan!"

Ahong took back Ryan. This time the Quartz Conference was not the Rookie Cup. If it was the Rookie Cup, Ahong might be able to get one step closer with Ryan's on-the-spot breakthrough.

But Hiro didn't hesitate. Now that he had lost his general, Ryan, he still had other Pokémon:

"Go ahead, Bobby!"

Hiro's second Pokémon is a Butterfree.

One of the most common Pokémon for new players in Kanto, he only brought six of them this time. In addition to Butterfree, he also had good friends like Charmander and Spearow...

However, Ren is his strongest Pokémon at the moment, and Charmander has yet to evolve, and although Bobby, as a bug-type Pokémon, is at a disadvantage in fighting in the crater, Hiro has no other choice.

"As long as I can defeat just one of Ash's Pokémon!"

Ahong wants to use Charmander as his trump card. Now Ash and Pikachu are too strong, so he can only send Bobby to weaken them.

"Bobby, we use..."

Before Hiro could finish his order, Xiaozhi on the battlefield had already taken action:

"Pikachu, "Dian Dian Speed ​​​​Up!"

The first move is definitely important, this move is more lethal than the "high-five surprise attack".

Before Ahong's Bobby could react, he was hit by Pikachu and lost his ability to fight.

"Hey, Hiro, don't try to attack in a way that weakens me."

After defeating Butterfree with one move, Xiaozhi looked at Hiro, whose hands were shaking, and said:

"Two months ago, I was just like you. I naively thought that I could win by using Pokémon to continuously kill the enemies."

Xiaozhi could see that Ahong was making a similar mistake as he had made when fighting Sakaki.

“But you can’t win this way.”

Facing Hiro, who looked like a mirror to himself, Xiaozhi spoke. Even Korni in the stands benefited greatly from his words this time:

“When Pokémon fight, each Pokémon should not be a supporting role to their teammates, but should be their own protagonist.

Trainers should not only know how to fight, but also understand what Pokémon are thinking. "

Sakaki would never treat Pokémon as a tool to victory or use a tactic of fighting Pokémon one by one in order to defeat the opponent.

Although Sakaki is a bad guy and always says that Pokémon are useful tools, he uses each of his Pokémon as a protagonist. Sakaki never uses any of his Pokémon as a stepping stone in battle, and he always tries his best to make any of his Pokémon win.

This is one of the few anthropomorphic aspects of Sakaki, and it is also the most important lesson he taught Satoshi.

Now Xiaozhi wants to teach this important lesson to Ahong:

"Come on, try your best to defeat me. Don't think of using such tricks. Your Pokémon fight for you. They all want to show their brilliance, don't they?"

The Quartz Convention is an ancient Roman beast gladiatorial contest, and when Moltres lights the sacred flame, although it is true that Pokémon are the trainers' weapons, it is also important to showcase the highlights of Pokémon.

Ahong looked at Xiaozhi who had exposed his cleverness and could not help but stay where he was. It was not until the referee issued a warning that Ahong finally understood Xiaozhi's intention:

Xiaozhi wants every Pokémon to shine. This is Xiaozhi's "Tao". Isn't it also the Tao of other trainers?

Thinking of this, Ahong took out his last trump card. He gave up his cleverness. Even if he couldn't defeat Xiaozhi, Ahong would persist until the last moment.

"Jiang Ben, come out!"

This is Hiro's last Pokémon, and also his first Starter Pokémon - Charmander from Kanto.

"That's the way it should be. But Hiro, I won't let you go. You're the one who gets Pikachu."

For Xiaozhi, this is how competitions should be, and every game is a decisive round that showcases the shining points of Pokémon.

Amid the collision of fire and lightning, the second day of the Quartz Conference was coming to an end, and a large number of trainers were eliminated.

Although Hiro and Charmander fought as hard as they could, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon during the fight.

Even so, Xiaozhi still won, but Ahong had no regrets.

Although his journey in the Quartz Conference ended, Hiro did not leave the Quartz Conference.

He firmly believes that his journey has just begun.

As for what kind of enemies Xiaozhi will encounter in the next Quartz Conference?

To be continued next time…
