Pokémon: A Strong Man from the Slums

As time went by, the energy in both the Naughty Thunder Bomb and the Silver Companion Beast gradually ran out.

Their originally surging power gradually became weak, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

When it comes to the extreme state, the slight difference in hard power between Denji's naughty thunder bomb and Gladion's silver companion beast is revealed.

Although Naughty Thunder Bomb has always caused a lot of trouble to the Silver Companion Beast with its flexible and changeable tactics, it is ultimately unable to cover up the gap in strength between the two sides.

At the end of the battle, the electrical energy in the Naughty Thunder Bomb had been completely exhausted, and it could no longer release powerful electric shocks.

Moreover, due to maintaining rapid movement for a long time, Naughty Thunder's physical energy consumption is also very huge, the movement speed drops sharply, and it almost loses the ability to continue fighting.

However, when the energy and physical strength in Naughty Thunder Bomb were exhausted, Silver Companion Beast still retained a certain combat effectiveness.

Although it had very little energy left, it at least had enough power to launch an effective attack.

So, Silver Companion Beast seized this opportunity and launched a counterattack. It quickly rushed towards Naughty Thunder Bomb, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe. Naughty Thunder Bomb tried to dodge, but due to lack of physical strength, its movements seemed a little slow.

The Silver Companion Beast did not hesitate to use its skill - Jet Flame! It opened its mouth and a ball of blazing flames gushed out, hitting the Naughty Thunder Bomb directly. The high temperature of the flames made the Naughty Thunder Bomb in great pain, and its body trembled slightly. Then, the Silver Companion Beast fired a second jet of flames, hitting the Naughty Thunder Bomb again.

These two jets of flame could be said to be the few remaining fire energies in the Silver Companion Beast's body. After using them up, its internal energy was finally exhausted.

At this time, Naughty Leidan had fallen to the ground, unable to fight anymore.

The silver companion beast was also exhausted and could only stand there gasping for breath.

The entire battlefield fell into deathly silence, with only the burning flames still blazing.

"Naughty Thunder Bomb has lost its ability to fight, Silver Companion Beast wins, and congratulations to Gladion for advancing to the next round!" the referee announced loudly.

As the referee finished speaking, the audience burst into warm cheers and thunderous applause.

They were extremely excited about Gladion's victory, and the entire venue was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

People who were already loyal fans of Gladion were even more ecstatic. They were so excited that they almost jumped up, with happy smiles on their faces.

At this moment, they wished they could rush to the fighting stage immediately, lift Gladion high up, and celebrate this exciting moment together.

After confirming that he had won the game, Gladion quickly put away the Silver Companion Beast and handed it to the medical staff nearby.

He knew that this victory was hard-won, but his inner joy was beyond words.

Then, Gladion smiled and waved to the fans in the audience.

He understands that it is because of these enthusiastic supporters that he has been able to get to where he is today.

Gladion's actions instantly ignited the passion of the fans below the stage.

Especially those female fans, they screamed excitedly, their eyes shining with admiration for their idols.

Some overly excited fans even fainted on the ground, obviously deeply impressed by Gladion's charm.

On the other side, Denji looked a little lonely. He silently put the Naughty Bomb back into the Poké Ball and handed it to the medical staff beside him. Then he sighed deeply, with a trace of helplessness and unwillingness on his face.

"Oh... As expected, we were still a little short. The silver beast was almost losing its combat capability. If we had held on a little longer, we could have won. What a pity!" Denci sighed softly, his tone revealing his disappointment with his own performance.

However, Denci did not become discouraged or lose confidence.

Despite losing the duel, he is not one to give up easily.

On the contrary, this failure aroused the fighting spirit deep in his heart, making him more determined to improve his own strength and train his elves well.

As time passed, the applause and cheers from the audience gradually subsided and the scene returned to calm.

Denji and Gladion also left their respective battle venues and returned to the spectator seats for the contestants.

They sat there quietly, their thoughts immersed in the fierce battle that just happened.

A moment later, the tournament staff quickly cleaned up the venue to ensure that the next game could proceed smoothly.

Then, the host walked onto the stage and passionately announced the contestants for the next game, sparking new expectations and enthusiasm among the audience.

"Dear audience friends! I believe that the last exciting game must have left you wanting more!"

"Believe me, the next game will be just as exciting! Now let us invite the first player of the next game to appear. He is the owner of the Miare Gym in the Kalos region - Xitron!" the host announced loudly.

After the host finished speaking, a young man with blond hair, glasses, and some high-tech equipment walked onto the stage.

After this man stepped onto the fighting stage, the audience below did not hesitate to applaud and cheer, and many people expressed their support for him.

"Citron, the Miare Gym Leader, is, like Denji, a trainer who is very good at electric-type Pokémon and his strength is pretty good." Wang Chen thought to himself.

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

"Now let us invite the second contestant of this game, he is the seeded player from the Galar region - Hep!" the host announced loudly.

After the host finished speaking, a young man who was dressed neatly and looked very powerful walked onto the stage.

After this man stepped onto the fighting stage, the audience below was equally generous with their applause and cheers, and many people expressed their support for him.

Especially those viewers coming from the Galar region, they have extremely high expectations for Hep.

After the applause and cheers from the audience gradually subsided, the host announced the start of the competition.

"Now, please ask the two contestants to release their first Pokémon!" the host shouted.

Then, Xitron and Hep looked at each other, and they both took out and threw their first Poké Balls at the same time.

Two red lights flashed, and Hitron's "Photoelectric Umbrella Lizard" and Hep's "Steel Armored Crow" appeared on the battlefield at the same time.

After these two elves appeared, the audience in the audience couldn't help but start talking again.
