Pokémon: A Strong Man from the Slums

"Dear audience friends, please pay attention, the last game of the day is about to begin."

"Now, let us warmly welcome the first contestant to appear. She is from the gym in Yuhong City in the Kanto region, and she is the famous gym owner - Lijia!"

Following the host's passionate introduction, a tall figure slowly stepped onto the battle stage.

The woman was wearing an exquisite kimono, with a graceful figure. Her every move exuded a unique temperament, as if she was a noble daughter from ancient times.

Her appearance instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience, and the men in the audience could not contain their inner excitement and were all attracted by her.

"Lika, a famous gym leader in the Kanto region, is known for her love of wearing kimonos and her proficiency in grass-type Pokémon." Wang Chen thought to himself.

When Lijia walked onto the fighting stage, she waved to the audience with a smile. This action made her fans even more excited, and the atmosphere on the scene became more heated, with people talking one after another.

"Lijia, I love you! We will always be your most loyal supporters!"

"This is the legendary beauty of Yamato Nadeshiko, it's so fascinating!"

"Oh my God! I don't know why, but when I saw Lijia, I felt an indescribable impulse in my heart."

As the audience was discussing, the host announced the next contestant:

"Next, let's welcome Lijia's opponent with warm applause - the top player from the Galar region, Hep!"

As the host's passionate voice fell, a young man with a relaxed smile on his face slowly stepped onto the other side of the fighting stage.

He stood tall and straight, walked steadily, and every step he took exuded confidence and composure.

When the young man appeared in the center of the stage, the whole audience suddenly became excited.

The audience from the Galar region cheered deafeningly, like surging waves, sweeping across the entire venue.

They waved their flags excitedly, shouted Hepp's name, their faces filled with pride and expectation.

"I've finally been waiting for this! Now I can witness the strongest young player in Galar with my own eyes! This is so exciting!"

"Hepp is a recognized seeded player. I wonder how strong he is. This game is sure to be exciting!"

"Come on, Hep! You must win the championship for our Galar region!"

However, in the face of the thunderous cheers and noisy discussions from the audience, Hepp always maintained a calm attitude.

His eyes were firm and focused, and he seemed completely immersed in his own world. The noise from the outside world had no effect on him.

He stood there quietly, like a steady mountain, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

"Next, please have the two contestants release their first Pokémon!" As the referee's passionate voice sounded, the game officially began!

As if they were in sync, Lijia and Hep threw their Poké Balls at the same time. In an instant, two dazzling red lights streaked across the sky, and Lijia's "Vampire" and Hep's "Steel Crow" appeared on the battlefield like lightning.

After seeing these two elves appear, Wang Chen's heart sank. He immediately realized that Lijia was at an absolute disadvantage.

"Steeljay is a Pokémon with both steel and flying attributes. Tyrannosaurus's poison attack has no effect on it, and the grass-type skills have little lethality to Steeljay. Therefore, it is almost impossible for Tyrannosaurus to defeat Steeljay with offensive skills."

"If we use interference skills, such as paralysis powder and hypnotic powder, they will be easily blown away by the strong wind generated by the Steel Crow flapping its wings, and it will also be difficult to have a substantial impact on Steel Crow." Wang Chen thought about countermeasures secretly.

Not only Wang Chen thought that Lijia had little chance of winning this battle, many discerning audience members in the audience also saw the clues.

"Valerian against Steelix? There's no point in fighting! This attribute is too suppressed!" someone exclaimed.

"Don't be so sure. Have you forgotten that Nemo was able to easily defeat her opponent even though her attributes were quadruple suppressed? Maybe Rika has this ability too." Another person retorted.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I don't believe that Lijia can achieve such an effect in the adverse situation of attribute conflict!" someone else shouted.

No matter how the audience analyzed and argued, or how noisy the noise was, the two contestants on the stage seemed to be oblivious to it and were fully immersed in this fierce battle.

However, the outcome of this duel was predictable. Queen Flower used all her skills, but she was helpless against Steelix.

On the other hand, Steelix can render Tyrannosaurus helpless simply by using some flying skills.

In the end, as expected, Queen Flower was severely defeated by Steelix and lay on the ground unable to move.

"Royale has lost its ability to fight, Steelix wins, contestant Lijia, please ask to replace the next Pokémon." The referee announced loudly.

Lijia took a deep breath, looked forward with a determined look, and then threw her next Poké Ball without hesitation.

Accompanied by a flash of dazzling red light, a huge and majestic "giant vine" suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

"Wow! This Grass-type Pokémon is really unique!" There were exclamations from the audience.

Wang Chen stared at the giant vine in front of him, thinking to himself: "This giant vine looks quite powerful. If it can skillfully use the vine whip skills, it might be able to drag Steel Armor Crow to the ground and win."

However, he also knew that Steel Armor Crow was no pushover. To suppress and defeat it with a vine whip was only a theoretical idea and was extremely difficult to implement.

Therefore, he predicted that the final winner of this game would still be Steelix.

While observing the situation on the field, Wang Chen carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both sides in his mind.

The process and result of this battle were as expected. The giant vine did want to use its vine whip to grab Steelix and drag it to the ground to defeat it.

However, this attempt did not succeed, and in the end, the giant vine was still beaten by several flying skills of Steelix.

"Giant Vine has lost its ability to fight, Steelix wins, contestant Lijia please replace the next Pokémon." said the referee.

Lijia only had one elf left at this time, and it could be said that she was defeated, but she still had no intention of giving up.

Then she took a deep breath and threw out the third Poké Ball.

A red light flashed, and a huge and imposing "Velvedra" appeared on the battlefield.
