The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Gladion and Lycanroc seized the opportunity when Kiawe and Marowak were caught off guard by their joy after a successful attack, thus securing their victory in one fell swoop. They were truly amazing.

"elder brother!"

When Kiawe was the first to have one of his Pokémon lose, Xing'er in the audience burst into tears, unable to help but worry about Kiawe.

Mao and the others quickly comforted her,

"It's okay, it's okay."

Meanwhile, on the battlefield,

Kiawe took out a Poké Ball and recalled the Alolan Marowak.

"Come back, Gara Gara, you've worked hard, thank you, you've tried your best."

Our victory rests entirely on your shoulders, Tortoisemon.

"Explosive flames!"

After recalling Marowak, Kiawe sent out his most reliable Pokémon, Turtonator.

"Kachi's second Pokémon is Turtonator. What kind of battle will it show us next?" Shi Kuang said.

"Brother, Xiao Bao, you both have to keep it up!" Xing'er shouted.

"To defeat the Rock Wolf, we must find a way to break its sharp stone attack. Using that move will definitely work."

Thinking of this, Kachi revealed a confident smile; he had absolute confidence in his Blazing Turtle Beast.

"Rock Wolfman, use Stone Strike."

As expected, Gladion immediately had Lycanroc unleash its fifth Stone Spike attack.

Seeing the incoming stone pillars, Kachi smiled smugly and shouted,

"Exploding Flame Turtle Beast, use Dragon Tail."

The Blazing Turtle immediately lay down, gathering its Dragon-type energy in its tail. Then, with its rear end facing the people, it swung its tail forward with tremendous force, easily shattering all the stone pillars.

It also hit the Rock Werewolf head-on, sending it flying with a single tail strike to the Rock Werewolf's astonished gaze. The Rock Werewolf crashed heavily into the walls surrounding the battlefield, cracking the walls in the process.

"Mane Rock Werewolf!"

Gladion called out in concern, only to see that although the mane rock wolf had suffered severe injuries, it had not fallen and stubbornly stood up.

"The sharp stone attack has been countered, and the dragon's tail has struck the opponent and caused damage," Shi Kuang exclaimed excitedly.

What puzzled Ash was that since Lycanroc hadn't lost its ability to battle, why didn't it trigger the forced switch effect of Dragon Tail?

Only if the opponent's Pokémon is defeated by this move will it not force a switch, but Gladion's Lycanroc is not defeated yet.

It's probably because everyone can choose two Pokémon, but Gladion hasn't decided which Pokémon he'll use next.

However, Kachi didn't have time to think about such issues. Now was the perfect opportunity to press his advantage, so he quickly shouted...

"Keep going, don't stop! Blazing Tortoise Beast, unleash Dragon Tail once more!"

"Manerock Werewolf, use Double Retaliate."

Turtlemon swung its tail at Lycanroc again, but Lycanroc gathered Fighting-type energy, its whole body glowing red, and raised its hands to take the attack head-on.

"That's a fierce collision between the dragon's tail and double the payback!" Shi Kuang exclaimed excitedly.

If Ash were to explain it, it would be: "This is a fierce clash between two skills with negative priority."

In the battle between the two Pokémon, the final result was that they were evenly matched.

Lycanroc took the hit head-on from the dragon's tail, while Turtlemon also received double the damage from Lycanroc.

After exerting a sudden burst of force, both of them were violently knocked away, crashing to the ground.

"Turtlemon! Stand up, Turtlemon!"

"Rockhound, rise up!"

Amidst the urgent calls of the two trainers, Lycanroc and Turtonator, despite suffering considerable damage, managed to stand up again and assume battle stances.

"Blazing Turtle Beast, use Flamethrower!"

The Blazing Turtle breathed out raging flames, scorching the Mane Rock Lycanroc, but this move wasn't very effective.

"They actually used a Fire-type move that's not very effective against Rock-type Lycanroc again," Shi Kuang exclaimed in surprise.

Looking at the werewolf with its mane already engulfed in flames, Gladion said coldly,

"That flame will ignite the fiery red color in the eyes of the Lycanroc. Lycanroc, unleash Reverse Scale."

The Lycanroc's already blood-red eyes suddenly blazed with fierce flames. It gathered its Dragon-type energy and charged straight at the Blazing Turtle.

The power of Reverse Scale is already very high. Lycanroc had used Sword Dance before, and it was extremely effective against Turtlemon. If it were to be hit by this, even if Turtlemon had high physical defense, it would be severely injured if not killed.

But Kachi showed no fear or worry whatsoever; instead, he smiled and said smugly,

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for, Blazing Turtle Beast, use Trap Shell."

"what!"

Seeing the Lycanroc charging towards it, Blazing Turtle immediately turned around, its rear end facing the creature.

Gladion, realizing his opponent's intentions, quickly called out to warn him, but the Lycanroc rushing forward couldn't stop in time and crashed headfirst into the back of the Blazing Turtlemon.

Upon contact with the spikes, a violent explosion followed.

Boom!

The mane rock werewolf was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground, which was not very effective.

Although this move's power is halved, it still has a full 150 power, and even with the power halved, it still has 75 power, which is very high.

"The trap shell used by the Blazing Tortoise Beast has succeeded!" Shi Kuang said.

"Okay, very good, Blazing Turtle Beast."

"You're really something. But this guy's Achilles' heel won't be stopped by a little setback. Go for it."

Gladio also praised Kaki a few times.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than the mane-wielding werewolf, who had just been blasted into the air, instantly regained his balance in mid-air, performed a backflip, and landed steadily on the ground.

Despite being covered in wounds and panting heavily, the Mane Rock Wolf didn't hesitate for a moment and pounced on the Blazing Turtle Beast again.

The "Reverse Scale" skill lasts for two to three rounds, and you cannot switch skills during that time.

If the opponent has multiple targets on the field, they cannot choose which target to attack; they will attack a target randomly.

"Blazing Turtle Beast, use your trap shell to intercept."

Kaki had Infernape use the same tactic again, hoping to use this method to block Outrage's attack once more.

But this time, the Rockweaver was smarter and knew that the spikes on the Blazing Turtle's shell were dangerous.

So this time, instead of rushing forward directly, it turned around a second before it was about to hit the Blazing Turtle Beast.
