Pokémon: A Strong Man from the Slums

"McKin was the first to lose his ability to fight, Dragonite won this battle, congratulations to Alice for advancing to the next round!" the referee announced excitedly.

As the referee finished speaking, the heavy stone in Alice's heart finally fell to the ground. She collapsed to the ground in an instant like a deflated ball, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.

On the other side, Naqi shook her head helplessly, her face full of reluctance and regret, and sighed deeply.

In fact, the match could be said to be a draw. However, luck always seemed to favor the other side, and it was Mook-Hawk who fell first, not Dragonite.

"Although I lost this battle due to bad luck, the ultimate reason is that I don't have enough hard power! If I were strong enough, how could the battle have been dragged to such a difficult point?" Naqi thought to herself.

"It seems that I must work harder in my practice in the future. One day I will be able to surpass these so-called young geniuses!" She secretly vowed in her heart.

At this moment, cheers broke out in the audience, and thunderous applause resounded throughout the venue, as everyone cheered for Alice's victory.

Not long after, Alice and Naqi also returned to the contestant viewing seats.

The host walked onto the stage again and began announcing the contestants for the next match.

"Dear audience friends, please welcome the first contestant of the next game with your warmest voices and applause! She is the gym trainer from Kamahei Town in the Hoenn region - Asha!" the host shouted excitedly.

As the host finished speaking, a tall woman with outstanding temperament appeared in front of everyone.

She has long, flame-red hair and wears tight clothes, exuding a strong, aggressive aura.

The woman stepped onto the fighting stage with steady steps and instantly became the focus of the audience.

When she stood on the fighting stage, the audience below gave her thunderous applause and cheers to express their support and love for her.

"Asha, the gym leader in the Hoenn region, is good at controlling fire-type Pokémon and is known for her powerful attack power." Wang Chen secretly pondered the information about Asha.

After a while, the cheers and applause from the audience gradually subsided, and the host announced the identity of the next contestant.

"Next, let us welcome the second contestant of this competition. He is from the Alola region and is the eldest son of the Aether Foundation - Gladion!" the host shouted excitedly.

After the host finished speaking, a handsome man with long yellow hair and a slightly ruffian look slowly walked onto the stage.

The moment he stepped onto the ring, the cheers and applause from the audience became louder and louder.

There is no doubt that Gladion, the eldest son of the Aether Foundation, has many fans.

"Asha's opponent is actually Gladion! This is troublesome! You know, Gladion owns such a powerful Pokémon as Argentar! Moreover, he can specifically restrain those Pokémon trainers who are good at a certain attribute!" Wang Chen thought to himself.

SilverBeast is an artificial Pokémon unique to the Alola region. It can change its attributes by inserting cards before the game.

More importantly, Gladion, the eldest son of the Aether Foundation, has three silver companion war beasts!

It is no exaggeration to say that Gladion can fully utilize the advantages of attribute restraint to the extreme!

After both contestants stepped onto the battle stage, the host immediately announced loudly: "Next, please ask the two contestants to release their first Pokémon!"

Gladion and Asha looked at each other and threw out their first Poké Balls at the same time.

As two red lights flashed by, Asha's "Coal Turtle" and Gladion's "Silver Companion Beast" appeared on the competition field together.

The moment Yasa's Coal Turtle appeared on the scene, the temperature of the entire battlefield suddenly soared, as if a small sun appeared in the sky, continuously releasing scorching flames, burning the land.

"This coal turtle has the sunshine feature, which can create sunny weather conditions. And I guess it must be carrying the 'hot rock' prop, so this sunny weather will last for a long time."

"With the help of a sunny day, the fire skills of Asha's fire elf will be greatly improved, thereby maximizing the explosive power of her elf." Wang Chen thought to himself.

The next moment, Wang Chen's sight fell on Gladion's silver companion war beast again. When he saw the attributes of the silver companion war beast clearly, his eyes couldn't help but tighten suddenly.

"The attribute of this silver companion beast is not water, but ground! In this way, the weakening of water-based moves by Sunny Day is completely meaningless. This Gladion really understands the way of attribute restraint." Wang Chen marveled in his heart.

Not only Wang Chen had this idea, many knowledgeable audiences in the audience also saw the key. The ground-attributed Silver Companion Beast had a great inhibitory effect on Yasa's Pokémon.

"A ground-type Silver Companion? This is a great choice! It will definitely defeat Asha's Pokémon!"

"Asha is in real trouble this time. From what I've heard, her fire-type Pokémon seem to be very afraid of ground-type Pokémon."

"There is no suspense in this battle. The Coal Turtle is definitely going to lose!"

Without paying attention to the chattering of the audience, Asha and Gladion were completely absorbed in this fierce battle.

However, the analysis made by Wang Chen and some other sharp-eyed and experienced viewers is also very accurate. When the Coal Turtle fights against the Silver Companion Beast with ground attributes, its disadvantage is indeed infinitely magnified.

Therefore, as soon as Asha came on the field, she was determined to do her best and cause a certain degree of damage to the Silver Companion Beast no matter what.

"Coal Turtle, use all your strength to unleash the fire-breathing skill!" Yasha gave the order without hesitation.

After receiving the order, the coal turtle immediately took action. It quickly condensed its most powerful fire energy and spewed it into the air.

These fire energies instantly transformed into countless huge fireballs as dense as meteor showers, smashing towards the ground in an overwhelming manner. The range of the attack was astonishingly wide.

It should be noted that the "Fire Breathing" skill can only show its most powerful power when the elf is unharmed.

Moreover, when the elf is not injured, the power of the fire-breathing move is incredibly powerful. It can be said to be the most powerful fire-type move that an ordinary elf can use.

In addition, the weather was still sunny at the time, so the power of this fire-breathing move was beyond everyone's imagination.
