Pokémon: A Strong Man from the Slums

"It's over! Some of the venom has finally entered Arcanine's body. Next, Gladion can only let the Forkbat fly high in the sky to delay time and wait for Arcanine to wake up."

"It won't be the end of him, right? After all, only a tiny amount of toxin has entered Windy Dog's body. Can this amount really poison Windy Dog?"

"You don't know this, right? The poison of the Crossbat of our Aether Foundation's eldest master Gladion is different. Once that poison enters the body of an elf, it will become more and more poisonous. So as long as time drags on long enough, it's only a matter of time before this Windy Dog loses its combat effectiveness!"

"Hiss! So, Gladion's cross can really poison such a big Ardennes with just that little bit of poison? What a terrifying Poison Pokémon!"

At this time, many discerning audience members in the audience had already noticed that although Arcanine was only slightly poisoned, from its current state, it was still energetic and did not seem to be affected too much.

However, these viewers all know very well that as time goes by, the toxin will gradually take effect and Windspeed's situation will become more and more dangerous.

They couldn't help but worry about this powerful Pokémon, and were also surprised and terrified by the ability of Gladion's poison-type Pokémon, Xybat.

"Ah... Wang Chen originally hoped that Asha could create a miracle by relying on the powerful attack ability of her own fire elf, but now it seems that she is still a little short of it! In this match, Gladion should be sure to win." Wang Chen couldn't help but think to himself.

In fact, in his opinion, when facing an elf like the Crossbat that is extremely agile in the air, it would be more appropriate to send out an elf that also has the ability to fly.

Taking this battle as an example, if Asha had sent out the Fire-type and Flying-type "Flamehawk" instead of Arcanine, the outcome of this battle would have been unpredictable.

If Asha really sent out the Flamehawk, even if it was unfortunately poisoned by the Crossbat, it would be possible for it to take advantage of the sunny weather and use its own fire to defeat the Crossbat first.

All in all, although Arcanine appears to be extremely powerful on the surface, it suffers a great loss due to its lack of flying ability.

Although it looks to be in good spirits at the moment, it is actually doomed to fail.

As expected, as time passed, Windy Dog began to realize that his condition was getting worse and his strength was gradually weakening.

The heroic and energetic look he had originally had was gone, replaced by dizziness and blurred vision.

At this moment, the purple poisonous spots were clearly visible on the body of the Wind Speed ​​Dog.

"The poison spots have even surfaced! It seems that Asha's Ardennes is on the verge of collapse."

"Oh my! He really lives up to his title as the eldest son of the Aether Foundation. The poison of the cross-bat he possesses is so powerful that it is shocking!"

"The outcome of this match is already decided, there is no doubt about it. I'm sure the referee is already ready to declare Gladion the winner."

Amid the audience's chatter, Windy Dog's poisoning symptoms continued to worsen, and his entire body became increasingly fragile.

Yasha, the trainer of Arcanine, frowned, thinking hard about how to break the current dilemma.

However, even though she racked her brains, she still couldn't think of any feasible solution.

Ouch...

After a moment, Arcanine let out a faint bark.

At this moment, it had been corroded by the venom and was unable to run, and it was obvious that the situation was hopeless.

Although victory was in sight, Gladion still did not dare to let his guard down. He ordered Xbat to continue hovering in the sky and not give Arcanine any chance to fight back.

"Alas! I'm afraid I'm doomed to lose this battle. Facing a X-bat flying so high, Windy Dog is really helpless."

"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to let Windy Dog struggle any longer. It's better to just admit defeat." Yasha thought to herself.

So, Yasha slowly raised her right hand and said directly to the referee: "Referee, please announce the end of the game, I admit defeat!"

After Asha finished speaking, the referee nodded and immediately announced loudly: "Asha chooses to surrender, Xbat wins, congratulations to Gladion for successfully advancing to the next round!"

As the referee's words fell, Gladion threw the antidote to Asha without hesitation and said with concern: "Hurry up and detoxify your Windy Dog, otherwise it is very likely to suffer very serious hidden injuries."

Asha nodded gratefully and quickly took the antidote and fed it to Windspeed.

After a while, Windspeed's complexion improved significantly.

Then, Gladion smiled and nodded, and walked down the stage with firm steps amid thunderous cheers and warm applause from the audience.

At this moment, Yasha was deeply aware of her own shortcomings.

She secretly made up her mind that she would practice even harder after returning this time. She would not only work hard to improve her hard power, but also pay special attention to making up for her own shortcomings.

After the cheers and applause for Gladion died down, the host walked impatiently to the center of the battlefield and began to announce the players for the next game.

"Dear audience friends, let us now invite the first contestant of the next game, the gym leader from Kurogane City in the Sinnoh region - Hyota!" the host shouted.

As the host finished speaking, a young man wearing work clothes, a safety helmet and glasses walked onto the stage.

The audience in the audience did not hesitate to give applause and cheers, and they were all cheering for Piao Tai.

"Hyota, the master of the Black Gold Gym, specializes in rock-type Pokémon. He has good hard power, but his Pokémon may have... too many weaknesses." Wang Chen thought to himself.

After the applause and cheers from the audience gradually subsided, the host continued to announce the information of the next contestant.

"Next, let us invite Mr. Piao's opponent, the eldest daughter of the Yulong family from Chengdu - Yulong Yan!" the host shouted.

As the host finished speaking, a tall, slender woman dressed in black, wearing a black cape, with a gorgeous but imposing appearance, walked onto the stage.

After she stepped onto the competition stage, the cheers and applause from the audience increased by at least two levels.

Obviously, as the eldest daughter of this generation of the Yulong family, Yulong Yan's popularity can be said to be quite high.

After both contestants stepped onto the battle stage, the host immediately announced, "Now, both contestants, please release your first Pokémon!"
