Pokémon Counterattack

At this moment, a person stood in front of Haoyue, which surprised him greatly—this person looked very similar to the wise man Xiaozhi in the original work! Not only that, even the Pokémon standing next to that person was exactly the same as Xiaozhi's pet.

However, after careful observation, it was discovered that the Pokémon currently in front of him was still in the stage of evolution, and there was still a big gap compared to the pet owned by Xiaozhi.

So, Haoyue's gaze now fell on the young man named Hong.

Haoyue had already clenched the Pokémon Ball in his hand and turned his gaze to the referee. The referee saw this and shouted, "The competition begins!"

After saying this, Haoyue quickly threw the Poké Ball and shouted, "Show yourself! Plant and tree spirits!"

In an instant, a red light flashed, and a plant spirit appeared in front of the bright moon!

Everyone on the scene witnessed the Plant Spirit, which was evolved from Eevee and was a new evolution among its eight forms. It was extremely rare!

The spectators saw this and started talking about it.

Hong on the other side looked at the plant spirit and praised: "Is this the plant spirit? It's really adorable!"

At this time, the referee shouted: "Contestant Hong, take out your Pokémon!"

Xiao Xin nodded when he heard this, and then shouted, "Come on, Salamander!"

Haoyue looked at the so-called Salamander, shook his head slightly, and thought to himself: "A Salamander, a mere beginner elite, actually won the runner-up in the original work, the runner-up of the Kanto Alliance, which is really puzzling!"

Thinking of this, Haoyue decisively ordered: "Plant and tree spirits, cast energy balls!"

Hong was still immersed in appreciating the amazing beauty of the plant spirits, as if he had completely forgotten everything around him. His eyes were attracted by those wonderful creatures and he couldn't extricate himself.

Haoyue was speechless again. She really couldn't understand why Hong was so absent-minded when the competition had already begun.

Haoyue could not help but feel dissatisfied and worried. She felt that Hong's attitude was too careless and he lacked the proper focus and sense of responsibility for this important competition. At this critical moment, any negligence could lead to failure, but Hong did not seem to realize this.

Haoyue sighed secretly, hoping that Hong could come to his senses as soon as possible and devote himself to the competition. She knew that Hong had extraordinary talent, but if he could not show his strength, then no matter how good his talent was, it would be useless.

However, Hong didn't seem to care about Haoyue's thoughts. He was still immersed in the world of plant and tree spirits, unaware of the tense atmosphere around him.

Perhaps in his eyes, the charm of these plant spirits far exceeded the competition itself. But Haoyue understood that they came here to prove their strength, not to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Therefore, Haoyue decisively ordered the plant and tree spirits to release the energy balls!

Hong was shocked, but the well-trained plant spirits' moves were not only powerful but also extremely fast. Just as Hong shouted "Salamander, get out of the way!", the energy ball had already hit the salamander's head. The salamander's vital point was either its head or its tail, so the ball hit it right there!

Before the salamander could even scream, it crashed into the wall and instantly lost its ability to fight.

This scene shocked Haoyue and Hong. The referee's flag had not yet fallen when he had to repeat: "The fire lizard has lost its combat power! Please ask Xiaoxin to send another pet to fight!"

Hong was stunned for a moment, but still called out, "Go to battle, Lieyu Pigeon!"

As soon as Lieyu Pigeon appeared, Hong immediately ordered: "Lieyu Pigeon, Swift Wind Sky Slash!"

Looking at Lieyu Pigeon flapping its wings to perform the Sky-Splitting Slash, Haoyue was even more speechless and said bluntly: "Is this your strength? How can you be so mediocre! You are far inferior to your opponent in the first battle, not to mention Jialong! It's really strange, with this strength, how can you break into the top 16!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room heard them and all eyes turned to Hong.

Hong blushed slightly, not out of anger but shame. What Haoyue said was true, he was lucky to be here.

However, Haoyue didn't know that two people were staring at him in the stands. If Haoyue were here, he would recognize that they were the runner-up and Jialong whom he defeated.

At this time, Haoyue ignored Hong's reaction and shouted decisively: "Plant and tree spirits, use the power of vines to jump up into the air and use knife leaves on Lieyu Pigeon!"

Upon hearing this, the plant spirits used the power of the vines to fly into the air, and then began to spin at high speed!

Green light burst out from its tail, forming a green light circle as it rotates!

Then, the aperture hit the Fierce Feather Pigeon's head directly!

Suddenly, the tremendous force of the plant and tree spirits caused the Fiery Feather Pigeon to crash into the ground!

The plant spirit used its vines once again and landed safely.

Hong Ze took back the Poké Ball and called out, "Go back, Lieyu Pigeon!"

He took out another Poké Ball and declared loudly, "I won't give up. Even if I'm not strong enough, I won't back down, because this is the opportunity my partner fought for me!"

After that, Hongda shouted, "Come out, Butterfree!"

The moment Butterfree appeared, Haoyue smiled and said, "A bug-type Butterfree, interesting! But are you sure?"

Thinking of this, Haoyue shouted: "Spirit of plants and trees, release the sunlight and flames!"

A dazzling white light burst out instantly, shooting directly at Butterfree!

At this moment, when Hiro was about to shout "Butterfield 3, use destructive light...", he was hit by the sunlight and flames.
