Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

Defu looked at the red Gyarados, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:

"A red Gyarados? That's really rare."

"It's not just rare!"

Xiao Guang cleared his throat and shouted loudly:

"Gyarados, Flamethrower!"

"Roar!"

Gyarados opened its massive jaws and spewed out a burst of blazing flames.

Such a powerful flame stood out conspicuously against the ice field, causing the surrounding ice to begin to melt!

"What? He's actually good at fire attacks?"

Defu, having seen many storms, quickly intervened and defended.

"Tundra Bear, use Ice Pillar Slam to defend!"

The tundra bear slammed its paws on the ground, and several ice pillars rose from the ground, forming ice walls that blocked the path of the flames.

scoff!

When ice and fire collide, a large amount of steam is produced.

"The opponent is skilled in fire-type attacks, and the Tundra Bear is poisoned. We must end the battle as soon as possible."

Defu's brain was working at lightning speed: "Tundra Bear, use Ice Punch after Swords Dance!"

"Freezing Roar—!"

The tundra bear roared to the sky, its body began to spin, and its aura surged, as if it had entered a berserk mode.

Then, the cold air condensed in its fists, turning into icy gauntlets, and it burst out of steam, charging towards Gyarados!

"Gyarados, Flamethrower!"

Xiao Guang calmly gave the instructions.

Gyarados once again spewed flames from its mouth, but this time Ursaring was smarter.

"Freezing!"

The tundra bear slid to avoid the main stream of flames, and in the process, pulled an ice pillar from the ground, holding it up like a shield in front of it, and continued its charge!

"Can this still happen?"

Serena's eyes widened.

Can bears be this agile?

Citron commented, "Using environmental objects as temporary armor is a very practical tactic."

After closing the distance, the Tundra Bear punched the Gyarados.

Boom boom!

A sonic boom exploded! The powerful force sent Gyarados flying back several meters!

"That's it, keep using the Freeze Punch!" Defu pressed his advantage.

"freeze!"

The tundra bear's fists blurred into afterimages as it launched a continuous attack, each punch carrying a chilling aura.

Ola Ola Ola Ola!!

"Gyarados, Fire Fang!"

Gyarados gathered its massive, fiery fangs of energy and fiercely bit down at Ursaring!

The flames sizzled as they collided with the cold air.

De Fu's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Grab those teeth! Throw them away!"

"Freezing!"

It's still the same old strategy of trading blows for blows.

The Tundra Bear withstood the scorching flames, gripping the Flame Fang tightly with both fists, its muscles bulging, and then with a roar, it actually managed to fling the massive Gyarados away!

"Icicle crash!"

Defu immediately issued an order.

Countless icicles had already appeared above the Gyarados, which had been flung into the air, blocking all escape routes.

"We're about to be hit!" Serena stood up nervously.

However, Xiaoguang is not easy to handle.

Princess Sinnoh? No, she could also be the Master!

"Who's afraid of who! Gyarados! Flamethrower!"

The Gyarados, flung into the air, twisted its body, its eyes gleaming with ferocity, flames gathering wildly in its throat.

Boom boom!

A gigantic, T-shaped flame descended from the sky, like a divine judgment.

At the same time, the icicles fell in unison.

Bang bang bang! Boom boom boom!

Flames explode! Icicles fall!

The Tundra Bear was completely engulfed in flames! Gyarados was also covered in ice pillars!

As the smoke and steam dissipated, the wounded Gyarados still stood proudly on the field, its eyes fierce.

The Tundra Bear collapsed to the ground, its body emitting black smoke from burns. With the double buffs of poison and burns, its health bar was immediately emptied.

After confirming the win, the referee raised the flag: "Tundra Bear is unable to battle! Red Gyarados wins!"

Xiao Guang patted it and praised, "Gyarados, you did a great job!"

The red Gyarados nuzzled her affectionately, then turned to look at Defu, spitting out two sparks from its nostrils.

Who else! !

Defu retrieved the tundra bear, and a solemn expression finally appeared on his face.

He looked at Xiao Guang and the red Gyarados, and slowly took out the last Poké Ball:

"Xiao Guang, you've successfully piqued my interest."

"Come out, Ice Rock Monster!"

A flash of white light, and an ice rock monster the size of a small mountain appeared on the field.

Its body was covered with thick ice and rocks, and its pair of ice-blue eyes stared coldly at the red Gyarados.

However, as soon as the Ice Rock Monster landed, it was affected by the toxins left by the Poison Algae Dragon. The purplish-black poison gas rose from its feet and quickly spread throughout its body.

Oh dear, I'm poisoned.

Then, the Frozen Body trait was activated passively, and stamina slowly recovered.

De Fu's lips twitched: "Little Guang, your poison tactics really lasted the whole time."

It must find a way to crack this next time.

Xiao Guang looked at the iceberg-like ice rock monster. Although the monster was poisoned, its frozen body allowed it to recover, so the pressure wasn't much less.

"Gyarados, can you still fight?"

The red Gyarados roared, its eyes still fierce despite its injuries.

Who's afraid of an ice turtle!

Xiao Guang nodded, his eyes serious: "Alright! In that case, use the Great Flame Burst!"

"Ow!"

The red Gyarados roared and spewed out its familiar "T"-shaped flame, but this time the flame was noticeably smaller.

I can't keep up physically.

De Fu calmly waved his hand: "Ice Rock Monster, use the Spinning Ball!"

The Ice Rock Monster's massive body suddenly began to spin, like a giant ice top, its speed increasing rapidly.

boom!

The next moment, it broke through the flames of the Great Flame Burst and rapidly approached the red Gyarados.

Xiao Guang was somewhat surprised that he managed to deflect the flame impact using rotational force.

"Gyarados, get out of the way!"

The red Gyarados was clearly taken aback by the sudden attack. It tried to dodge, but was still hit by the Ice Golem.

boom!

The immense impact caused the red Gyarados to cry out in pain and sway its body.

"Your chance has come, Ice Rock Monster! Ice Pillar Slam!"

Defu's voice was filled with confidence.

The Ice Rock Monster spun even faster, and countless sharp ice pillars condensed around its body, shooting towards the Red Gyarados like a rainstorm due to the inertia of its rotation.

Gyro Ball, plus version!

Xiao Guang hurriedly shouted, "Gyarados, use hot water!"

The red Gyarados charged forward, spewing scalding hot water from its mouth.

scoff!

The hot water collided with the icicles, producing a large amount of white steam that instantly enveloped half of the venue.

"avalanche!"

From within the steam came the roar of the Ice Rock Monster.

Countless snowflakes in the air converged into a massive torrent, crashing down upon Gyarados.

This tactic, made even more concealed by the steam, is virtually impossible to defend against.

Gyarados was unable to dodge in time and was swallowed up by the avalanche, its body crashing heavily onto the ice.

The referee raises the flag: "Gyarados is unable to battle! Glaceon wins!"

"Thanks a lot."

Xiao Guang recalled her Gyarados, stood up, and looked at the Geodude in the arena.

The score is now 1-1.

She also had a Pokémon at its peak.

The opposing Ice Golem was poisoned, and the battle with Gyarados also consumed a lot of stamina. Even with the Frozen Body's recovery, it was just a drop in the bucket.

With the dragon charging right at your face, how can you possibly lose?!

Xiao Guang smiled confidently, took out a Poké Ball, weighed it in his hand, and then tossed it high into the air.

"Go, Blue Ash!"

boom!

A greatsword appeared on the field amidst a red glow.

The red blade, the black hilt, and the single golden eye in shield form make it even more intimidating.

Looking at the sturdy shield-and-sword monster, Defu couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Another shiny Pokémon. What kind of family does this girl come from? She's probably some rich kid who's just out experiencing life."

Or, how about we just add a little water as a symbolic gesture?

Xiao Guang raised an eyebrow and a confident smile appeared on his lips: "Mr. Defu, I have secured the victory in this match."

"Qinghui, use the holy sword!"

The Shield Sword Monster's blade shone with a dazzling white light, and the condensed energy transformed it into a giant energy sword, which it slashed down at the Ice Rock Monster with the force of splitting a mountain!

"Ice Rock Monster, Spinning Ball!"

Defu shouted.

The Ice Rock Monster spun around again, transforming into a giant ice top that collided with the object!

Zizizi!

The sword and the spinning top rubbed together wildly, scattering a large amount of ice shards and sparks.

Despite the Ice Rock Monster's desperate resistance, it was no match for the Blue Gray's relentless advance.

"Yanhou~"

The Ice Rock Monster cried out in pain, was forced back to its original form, and had a deep sword wound on its body, suffering a severe injury.

"Well done!" Xiaoyun applauded from the sidelines.

"Xiao Guang is amazing! We're going to win!" Serena cheered.

At this point in the battle, everyone felt that Xiao Guang had the upper hand.

"What a joke! How could I possibly fall down so easily!"

Just then, Defu suddenly shouted.

"Ice Rock Monster, use Self-Regeneration!"

"Rock roar!"

A soft white light shone from the Ice Rock Monster's body, its wounds healed at a visible speed, and its stamina recovered extremely quickly.

Xiao Guang's smile froze.

Well, you're using recovery techniques, you big-eyed, thick-browed uncle.

The Ice Rock Monster stood up again. Although it was still poisoned, its health bar had visibly recovered.

Defu smiled smugly: "Miss Xiaoguang, our battle can continue."

Xiao Guang smiled politely: "Mr. Defu is really quite unpretentious."

Defu waved his hand: "Hey~, it's all for the competition. Trainers should make full use of all available means."

"Ice Rock Monster, Spell!"

"Rock roar!"

A dark light flashed across the Ice Rock Monster's body, and its aura surged!

Attack and defense are greatly improved, but speed is reduced.

"Interrupt it, use Swallow Return!"

The bluish-gray light instantly transformed into a flash of sword light! Its speed was so fast that only a blur remained!

"Gyro ball!"

"Spinning Top Ball!" Defu was prepared.

The Ice Rock Monster spun around again, and its Swallow Return hit the spinning ice shell, but it couldn't even stop and was bounced away.

The image resembled someone poking a rapidly spinning tire with a twig.

"Attack!" Defu waved his hand.

The spinning top ball began to move, rushing towards the bluish-gray area with terrifying force, shattering the ice surface!

"One more time, Holy Sword!"

Xiao Guang refused to believe it and transformed the blue-gray energy sword once again, slashing down with all his might!

boom--!

This time, the result was different. A figure withdrew extremely quickly, and it turned out to be Qinghui!

Xiao Guang frowned: "Was it the spell from before? It increased my defense, so I could withstand the Holy Sword..."

Xiaoyun analyzed from the sidelines: "The Curse Technique, which trades speed for a huge boost in defense and attack, is fatal to most Pokémon, but it is an advantage for Gyro Ball."

The power of a spinning top ball is related to the speed difference between the two objects; the slower the ball's speed, the greater its power.

Citron added, "In other words, the current Ice Rock Monster, combined with the Gyro Ball, will reach a terrifying level of power."

"That's it, Ice Rock Monster, one more Spinning Ball!"

On the field, Defu gave them no chance to catch their breath.

The Ice Rock Monster transformed into a Death Spinning Top once more, charging forward with an aura that seemed capable of crushing everything in its path!

"King's Shield!" Xiao Guang responded calmly.

Aegislash quickly switched back to shield form, its golden eye lit up, and the barrier was fully deployed!

boom--! ! !

The spinning top slammed into the barrier! The shockwave shattered all the ice within a five-meter radius!

The barrier fluctuated violently, making cracking sounds as it struggled to break, but it ultimately did not shatter!

"What! Its defense is this strong too?"

De Fu was surprised; the power of that spinning top ball was enough to smash through an ice wall.

"My Azure Gray isn't just strong in attack!"

Xiao Guang said proudly, "So what if I was knocked back a little? Do you really think she's Serena, someone you can just pinch whenever you want?"

Meanwhile, the Ice Rock Monster swayed as the poison flared up again, deepening the purplish-black markings and further reducing its stamina.

"Let's try again, regenerate!" Defu attempted to repeat his old trick.

Want to do it again? Xiao Guang's eyes flashed:

"Blue-gray, Swallow Return, coordinated sneak attack on vital points!"

A bluish-gray figure flashed past at lightning speed, while the sword erupted with a dark black light, the two techniques perfectly fused together!

Flowers of twilight, born amidst the moon's shadow.

Combo attack, Oborozuki-no-Yoru!

Countless sword lights flashed, continuously striking the ice rock monster from various angles!

Ice chips flew everywhere, and rocks shattered!

The Ice Rock Monster tried to defend with a spinning top ball, but its poisoned body could not keep up with the pace, and its self-regeneration light was interrupted as soon as it lit up!

"sword!"

With the final strike, the bluish-gray transformed into a straight black beam of light, piercing through the center of the ice rock monster's body!

Clang——!

The blue-gray sword returned to Xiao Guang's side, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a clear, melodious sword cry.

Behind him, the ice rock monster froze, then crashed to the ground.

After confirming the results, the referee announced, "The Ice Rock Monster is unable to fight. Challenger Hikari has won this battle."

"Easy to take."

Xiao Guang snapped his fingers and said to Qinghui with a smile,

"Thank you for your hard work, Qinghui."

The bluish-gray sword responded with a hum, then returned to the Poké Ball.

Defu recalled his Ice Rock Monster, walked to the center of the field, and said with admiration, "Xiao Guang is not only beautiful, but also quite strong, and her Pokémon training is excellent..."

He paused, then took a badge from his pocket.

"Then this iceberg badge is yours; you truly deserve it."

"Then thank you very much, Master Defu."

Xiao Guang smiled as he accepted the badge, then gave Xiao Yun a playful pistol gesture.

"The last badge is mine!"

Xiaoyun watched her from the sidelines, then put her hand on her head and waved it forward.

OK! Let him handle the rest.

The referee stepped forward again, his voice loud and clear:

"Next up is the Dojo Assessment Match. The rules remain the same: 3v3. Inspector Xiaoyun will face off against Yingxue Dojo Master Defu."

"Now it officially begins!"
