The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Ororu didn't even need to use a Z-Move; Snorlax simply used Body Slam, crushing Fishing Master's Feebas to death and winning the battle.

This battle also became the most boring battle of the entire Alola League Manaro Conference schedule.

I thought that Mao was already a rare find, but I didn't expect there to be another expert.

"Feebas is unable to battle, Snorlax wins, so the winner is Ororu," announced referee Mordan.

After the two players left the field, the schedule moved to the seventh match of the first round.

Kaki and DJ Leo, who were about to battle here, stepped onto the battlefield.

"The opponent is DJ Leo, who is good at battling with Pokémon in rhythm. Which Pokémon will Kiawe send out?"

Dr. Kukui was also very much looking forward to this battle, after all, it was a battle between his childhood friend and his student.

Kiawe sent out his Alolan Marowak, while DJ Leo sent out his strongest partner, Alolan Dugtrio.

"Dugtrio's Ground-type moves are super effective against Fire-type Marowak, but Marowak's Fire-type moves are super effective against Steel-type Dugtrio. It seems this battle might be a quick one," Professor Kukui chuckled.

"I hope they both keep going," Shui Lian said.

"Kachi, I'm really looking forward to sparring with you," DJ Leo said.

"Me too, let's have a battle as fiery as the flames of Mount Vera."

At this moment, flames were burning in Kachi's eyes.

"no problem."

The battle begins, and DJ Leo strikes first, having his Alola Diglett use Rock Slide.

Kiawe then had Alola Marowak use a Bone Boomerang to knock down the falling rock.

Alola Diglett then used Dig, burrowing completely underground and disappearing from sight.

Kiawe reacted very quickly, immediately having Alola Marowak use Shadow Bone.

The bone club, burning with Ghost-type energy, was slammed heavily onto the ground by Alolan Marowak. The resulting shockwave was like an earthquake, directly blasting Alolan Dugtrio out of the ground and nearly giving it a concussion.

Alola Marowak then pressed its advantage, launching an attack with its Bone Boomerang.

Unexpectedly, the Alola Diglett neither dodged nor used any moves to block, but instead chose to take the hit head-on.

Since it has no hands, it truly catches the virus with its head.

It stood its hair up, successfully cushioning the impact of the bone boomerang, and even used its hair to curl the bone club, thus disarming Alolan Marowak.

After all, Alolan Dugtrio's ability is curly hair, so it makes sense.

However, this move left Kiawe, Alola Marowak, and the entire audience dumbfounded. Could this really be done?

"It's been taken!" Kachi exclaimed in shock.

"With Kaki's Mara Mara losing his Bone Club, will this be a golden opportunity for DJ Leo?"

Shocked, Kaki was quickly considering a solution.

Without Bone Club, Alolan Marowak will be unable to use Shadow Beam, Bone Boomerang, and Flare Blitz.

Furthermore, Alolan Marowak no longer has the double Attack bonus from Thick Bones.

Therefore, we must take back the bone club.

"We must get the bone club back! Let's go all out! Crack! Crack! Use Iron Head!"

"Three-legged mole, just grab it with your hair."

Alolan Marowak focused its Steel-type energy on its skull and charged at Alolan Dugtrio.

However, the hair of the Alola tricorn is like a dense, impenetrable net.

It demonstrated the effect of using minimal force to deflect a great attack, successfully buffering Iron Head's attack once again.

And they used their hair to bind Alora's hands and feet.

Furthermore, the Curly Hair ability activated, causing Alolan Marowak's Speed ​​to drop by one level.

"Oh no, Gara Gara has been caught by the hair of the three-legged gopher. How can we get out?" Shi Kuang exclaimed excitedly.

"The three ground rats pressed their advantage and unleashed Rock Collapse."

At this moment, Alolan Marowak was bound by Alolan Dugtrio's hair and could not break free. Alolan Dugtrio then used Rock Slide directly above its head, summoning many rocks to fall from the sky in an attempt to crush Alolan Marowak to death.

Alolan Dugtrio has four times the resistance to Rock, so it doesn't care about being accidentally hit by its own moves.

Seeing that Alola Marowak was in great danger, Kiawe shouted anxiously.

"Garagara, keep going! I believe you can do it! Use Flame Charge!"

Alola Marowak is currently wrestling with the hair of Alola Dugtrio. It finally managed to reach out and grab the bone club, but the bone club is still tightly entangled by the hair.

With a roar, Alora unleashed its full power, successfully pulling the bone club to its side and lightly touching the skull on its head.

Instantly, raging flames enveloped Alola Marowak's entire body; this was Flare Charge.

The scorching flames spread from its hair all over its body, proving extremely effective and severely injuring the Alola Diglett.

The Alolan Diglett howled as it burned in the flames, much of its prized thick fur was singed. Meanwhile, the Alolan Marowak broke free of its restraints and retrieved its Bone Club.

"Very good, Gara Gara, begin the counterattack, unleash Shadow Bone."

"Three ground rats, unleash your iron head!"

To be fair, Alolan Dugtrio's Iron Head move is quite interesting.

A normal "iron head" move, as the name suggests, involves using the head to ram the opponent.

However, Alolan Dugtrio's Iron Head move involves concentrating all its Steel-type energy into its hair, then stretching it out and whipping it forward like a whip.

Ash was dumbfounded. Could the hair of the Alolan Dugtrio really be stretched and changed length at will?

Do you think it's Play-Doh?

If you play like that, then your move shouldn't be called "Iron Head," it should be called "Iron Head (Hair)."

Alolan Marowak, of course, wielded its Bone Club and clashed fiercely with Alolan Dugtrio's Iron Head; the two were evenly matched.

"Garagara, use Shadow Bone again."

"You're so agile! Kachi's Crawling Crawling is amazing!"

Goddess of the Earth, shake your opponent with your rhythm, Diglett, unleash a triple attack!

While the Normal-type move Triple Attack is ineffective against Ghost-type Alolan Marowak, it's still a viable defensive move.

Alola Diglett fired three beams, successfully blocking Shadow Bone's attack.
