The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Meanwhile, in the audience, Burmiel was also sweating bullets for Guzma, thinking to herself,

"Calm down, Guzma."

To these guys, you are hope, Guzma.

There are many people who choose to run away after experiencing failure and feel lost about the future; and not all of them are positive and optimistic.

It was you who gave them a place to belong.

"The first to fall in this match was Guzma's Scizor. He now has only one Pokémon left, Golisopod."

With Scizor rendered unable to fight, Golisomorph returned to the arena.

"The armored warrior has already suffered considerable damage. What moves will it use against Ash's Eevee? And who will ultimately emerge victorious?" Shi Kuang asked excitedly.

"We absolutely cannot lose again."

The armored warrior unleashed a deep-sea thrust.

Guzma, barely suppressing his urge to beat the armored warrior to a pulp, roared.

The armored warrior immediately concentrated Dark-type energy in its right claw and charged towards Eevee.

"Eevee, use Treasure."

A giant yellow pentagram was once again formed in front of Eevee. Although it was shattered by Abyssal Thrust again, it successfully blocked the attack from Golem.

"Eevee, use the numbing shock."

"Armored warrior, use your poison strike to tear it apart."

The poisonous energy was concentrated on the armored warrior's left claw, tearing the incoming electric current into a sky full of lightning.

"The armored warrior is indeed very strong," Mao said.

"Yes, very strong." Shui Lian nodded in agreement.

“Now is the opportunity,” Mamane shouted.

"Go! Ash!" Lana shouted.

"Armored warrior, you have no way out, you know that, right? Even if it's just you, you have to destroy this place for me," Guzma snarled.

"Armored!"

"In that case, let's come back for now, Ibrahimovic. You did a very good job."

Next, Primarina, it's you I choose. Get ready to battle.

"Hai Ren!"

"Ash actually recalled Eevee and then sent out Primarin. How is it going to deal with Guzma's last Pokémon, Golisopod?" Shi Kuang asked excitedly.

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Ash recalled Eevee and sent out Primarina.

This left everyone completely baffled.

Because we generally don't easily replace Pokémon that have been boosted.

Unless absolutely necessary, or if the opponent uses moves that force a switch-in, such as Blow Away, Roar, Baton Toss, or Dragon Tail,

Because when a boosted Pokémon returns to its Poké Ball after a battle, the boosted stats are reset to their original levels.

The same applies to Eevee. Ash switched Eevee out, so when he switched it back in, Eevee's +2 to all stats would be gone. Wouldn't that be a huge loss, like crippling himself?

However, Ash clearly had his own considerations, and immediately turned to shout at Lana in the audience.

"Water Lily, watch closely. I'll help you get revenge and also demonstrate how to fight against Guzma's armored warriors."

Lana was a little surprised to be called out, but she quickly recovered and smiled and nodded at Ash.

When Guzma saw Ash switch to Primarin for battle, he couldn't help but scoff and say...

"I thought you'd pull out something powerful, but it turns out to be this guy. You want to get beaten up like your buddies did, huh?"

Guzma had just overwhelmed Lana's Primarina with Golisopod, which led him to look down on Primarina now, thinking it was no match for him.

"Why don't you try it and you'll see?" Xiao Zhi said with a joking expression.

"Hmph, although it's not quite what I expected, it doesn't stop me from winning. I'll send you home now."

The armored warrior unleashed a poisoned attack.

"West Lion Sea Ren, exert your spirit and focus."

The armored warrior concentrated poison-type energy on his left claw, intending to use a super-effective move to severely injure Primarina in one fell swoop, but was firmly controlled by the psychic energy emitted by Primarina and unable to move.

"what!"

Guzma couldn't help but show a shocked expression, his heart churning with immense emotion.

"How could it have turned out like this? I, Guzma, have actually been suppressed."

Thinking of this, and at the same time, Guzma saw Professor Kukui's shadow in Ash's eyes, which made him even more furious.

"What's wrong with this guy? Why do I always get hit by people like this..."

What the heck? This guy's eyes are really disgusting.

Both Kukui and this guy are disgusting.

Rather than losing to these guys, I'd rather use them to turn the league upside down.

Thinking of this, Guzma looked at the Skull Team members in the stands; those guys he was referring to were his own men.

This reminded Guzma of his earlier studies with Dr. Kukui at Hala.

At that time, he sent out armored warriors, who were repeatedly defeated by Dr. Kukui's Eagle Warriors.

Guzma, who specializes in Bug-type Pokémon, is indeed at a significant disadvantage against Professor Kukui's Flying-type Braviary.

Although Dr. Kukui often praised Guzma for his improvement over the last battle, Guzma's repeated defeats filled him with frustration, and his impotent rage eventually led to a falling out with Dr. Kukui and Mr. Hala.

Meanwhile, the Skull Team members noticed their leader's unusual behavior and assumed that Guzma was worried about whether he could win the battle. So they stopped cheering him on and started worrying about him instead.

Bourbie thought to herself,

"I know what you're thinking. Failure is terrible for you, isn't it?"

Guzma was undefeated because he never fought a battle he wasn't confident of winning.

You and the armored warrior are actually very similar. Not wanting to suffer further harm, you lock yourself in your armor and keep running away.

But is it really okay for things to always be like this?

Hala, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Guzma hasn't changed at all. It's such a pity. He's clearly very talented."

However, he never realized the most important thing; if he had understood this, he would have grown even more.

Meanwhile, the battle on the field continued.

"West Lion Seaman, just throw it away."

The armored warrior was slammed heavily to the ground by the powerful mental energy of the West Lion Seaman, suffering considerable injury.

"Now's the time, Lionheart, unleash the Ice Beam."
