Pokémon: Grand Contest: Showdown

The reason for proposing a three-on-three battle is that among the Pokémon that Haimer currently owns, only Gardevoir, Cursed Doll, and Mothrope can be considered to be quite capable in battle.

At this moment, after Shinji returned all the Pokémon to their Poké Balls, Shinji and Haimer arrived at an open space that could serve as a battleground.

"The rules are three against three, is that alright?"

Faced with Haimer's question, Shinji took out a Poké Ball and answered helplessly.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started."

As Shinji finished speaking, both Shinji and Haimer simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls.

In an instant, a flash of white light appeared. Haimer's side sent out the Gentleman Moth, while Shinji's side sent out the Electric Monster.

"Discharge!"

Upon hearing Shinji's instruction, Electabuzz rotated its arms, gathering electricity.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, a powerful bolt of lightning struck the gentleman moth flying in mid-air head-on.

"The gentleman moth, silent in the morning glow!"

Upon receiving Haimer's instructions, the Gentleman Moth simultaneously gathered sunlight with its Solar Flare and its wings together.

A short while later, when the electric light from the discharge hit the gentleman moth's wings, the wings, having absorbed some sunlight, successfully blocked the attack.

As the electric light dissipated, it was observed that the spot on the gentleman moth's wings, where the sunlight had just struck, showed no damage whatsoever.

Upon seeing this, Shinji's face showed a rare expression of surprise.

"Next, use Silver Cyclone!"

At that moment, as Haimer gave the instruction, the Gentleman Moth immediately flapped its wings, sending silver particles flying towards the Electric Monster.

Seeing this, Shinji immediately shouted at the Electric Monster.

"Dodge and then use the discharge again!"

Upon hearing Shinji's instruction, Electabuzz deftly dodged Gentleman Moth's silver whirlwind with a backflip, then immediately swung its arms and unleashed several powerful electric currents at Gentleman Moth.

Gazing at the flashing lightning, Haimer knew that the Electabuzz's discharge this time was much more powerful, and he also understood that the Gentleman Moth's Silent Dawn wouldn't be able to withstand the discharge for long.

Then, Haimer immediately called out to the Gentleman Moth.

"Gentleman Moth! Get out of the way!"

Although Haimer's instructions were timely, the Gentleman Moth had its own ideas after hearing them.

Perhaps it was because the first time the silent dawn successfully blocked the electric monster's discharge.

So when faced with the Electabuzz's discharge again, the Gentleman Moth did not follow Hammer's instructions to avoid it. Instead, it confidently used Solar Beam to gather sunlight and then tried to block the discharge current with its sun-gathered glowing wings.

In the blink of an eye, sparks flew from the gentleman moth's wings, followed by a loud bang. The electric shock monster's discharge was so powerful that it caused a very serious explosion on the spot!

A short while later, black smoke billowed up, and the Gentleman Moth, having lost its fighting ability, fell from the sky to the ground.

It seems that even though the Grass-type Solar Beam can help Mothur temporarily resist Electric-type moves, Mothur's Flying-type nature means that Solar Beam's resistance has its limits.

The defeat was because the Gentleman Moth did not follow Hammer's instructions, although such situations often occurred when he was still a grasshopper.

However, Hammer originally thought that the gentleman moth would no longer behave that way.

But unexpectedly, this still happened.

"Hmm, it seems I'll have to have a good talk with Gentleman Moth later."

Thinking of this, Haimer took out a Poké Ball and recalled the Gentleman Moth.

Just then, Shinji spoke up helplessly.

"I can't believe you've managed to keep a Pokémon of this caliber until now."

In response to Shinji's words, Haimer took out another Poké Ball and replied earnestly.

"Win this game first before you say these things."

At that moment, as soon as Haimer finished speaking, he threw Gardevoir's Poké Ball out.

A moment later, as a dazzling white light spread out, Gardevoir gracefully landed on the open ground from within the white light.

"Discharge."

Upon receiving Shinji's instruction, a powerful electric current once again spread rapidly outwards as the Electric Monster's arms rotated.

Seeing this, Haimer smiled and called out to Gardevoir.

"Gardedoll, use psychic attacks."

As Haimer gave the instruction, a dazzling blue light immediately bloomed in Gardevoir's pupils.

In an instant, as Gardevoir's fingertip fell, the lightning bolts that were originally about to strike Gardevoir head-on suddenly changed course and struck to the side.

Upon seeing this, Shinji immediately understood that it was Gardevoir's psychic interference that distorted the trajectory of the discharge current's attack.

Seeing this, Shinji quickly shouted at the Electric Monster.

"In that case, increase the power of our electric attack!"

Upon hearing Shinji's instruction, Electabuzz immediately turned its arms, attempting to unleash its electric attack on Gardevoir once more.

However, just as Electabuzz was about to gather electricity, Heimer suddenly shouted at Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir, use Charm!"

At this moment, as Haimer gave his instructions, a smile gradually appeared on Gardevoir's face.

In a daze, the pink hearts flowing in Gardevoir's eyes seemed like whispers of time, touching Electabuzz's forehead and instantly turning its face red.

Because of the captivating effect of its special move, Electabuzz's gaze towards Gardevoir has become shy and tender.

At the same time, Electabuzz stopped rotating its arms and gave up on unleashing its electric attack.

Upon seeing this, Shinji frowned slightly.

At that moment, Haimer immediately gave Gardevoir the next instruction.

"Mental interference!"

Upon hearing Haimer's instruction, a dazzling blue light flashed from Gardevoir's pupils. A moment later, as Electabuzz's body was outlined by that blue light, Electabuzz was instantly thrown away by the mental interference.

Immediately afterwards, with a thud as the Electabuzz landed, it was immediately rendered unable to fight.

At this moment, after Shinji took out a Poké Ball and recalled Electabuzz, he looked thoughtfully at Gardevoir and spoke to Heimer.

"I never expected that you would have such a powerful Pokémon."

Faced with Shinji's rare praise, Haimer was stunned for a moment before he was about to express his gratitude.

However, at that moment, Shinji continued speaking to Haimer in a helpless tone.

"It's completely different from the gentleman moth you just saw. I advise you to give up on that useless piece of trash, the gentleman moth."

Upon hearing Shinji's words, Haimer, who had originally intended to express his gratitude, immediately swallowed his words back.

Immediately afterwards, Haim replied to Shinji.

"You don't understand anything at all. Gentleman Mothant has its advantages, but you just glanced at it from your own perspective and casually defined it as a useless piece of trash. Hmph, this also proves that as a trainer, your perspective on the world is too one-dimensional and too narrow."

As Haimer finished speaking, Shinji frowned impatiently and then coldly addressed Haimer.

"Win this match first, then you can say these things."

Faced with Shinji's words, Haimer couldn't help but silently complain in his heart.

"Tch, he really holds a grudge."

At that moment, when Shinji threw the next Poké Ball, a dazzling white light instantly spread out, and in an instant, a Dark Crow with extremely fast speed flew out from the white light and into the air above the open space.

When Shinji sent out Murkrow as his next Pokémon, Heimer immediately took out a Poké Ball and recalled Gardevoir.

"Does that mean your Gardevoir's only attack move is Psychic?"

Faced with Shinji's sudden question, Haimer inexplicably answered with a guilty conscience.

"It has nothing to do with you."

The reason for feeling guilty is that the training path that Haimer chose for Gardevoir is a support/secondary attacker path in doubles battles.

Therefore, just as Shinji said, Gardevoir now knows three special moves besides Psychic.

In other words, it involves exchanging locations, being charming, and teleporting.

Gardevoir's moveset can effectively help teammates who are slow and inflexible to quickly reposition themselves and adjust their attack angles.

Seeing that he seemed to have guessed correctly, Shinji revealed a slightly wicked and mocking smile, and then said to Haimer with a disdainful laugh.

"You haven't even learned a single Fairy-type move of your own type. As a trainer, you certainly have a broad perspective on the world."

At this moment, in response to Shinji's taunts, Haimer stuck out his tongue at him and replied somewhat angrily.

"Hmph! You can talk after you win this match!!!"

As soon as Haimer finished speaking, he threw the Cursed Doll's Poké Ball. In the blink of an eye, a white light dissipated, and the Cursed Doll jumped out of the white light and stared at Haimer with a resentful look for a long time.

The reason the cursed doll behaved this way was because it noticed that recently, Haimer called Gentleman Moth and Gardevoir more often than it called him.

This is clearly a very disappointing thing for the cursed doll.

Of course, because in Haimer's eyes, the cursed doll is now more like a child who lacks companionship.

So when Haimer saw the cursed doll like this, his first thought was that he hadn't spent enough time with it lately.

But thinking about it this way, it seems that Haimer's understanding is not wrong.

"Um, I'm sorry, Cursed Doll, I've been quite busy lately. How about this, we can find some time later and take a proper rest together?"

Hearing Haimer's words, the Cursed Doll wished that Haimer would focus all his attention on him, or simply put, that Haimer would stay with him and not call out to other Pokémon.

However, since it was Haimer's invitation, the cursed doll nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Shinji, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that Haimer and the cursed doll had finally finished their conversation and immediately complained helplessly.

"Sure enough, troublesome people are always surrounded by useless Pokémon."

Upon hearing Shinji's words, Haimer snorted angrily and then spoke seriously to Shinji.

"Okay, let's get started."

As Haimer finished speaking, Shinji immediately shouted at the Dark Raven.

"Dark Raven, use follow-up attack."

Upon receiving Shinji's instructions, dark light swiftly materialized on the wings of the Dark Raven, resembling sharp blades.

Immediately afterward, the moment Murkrow aimed at the Cursed Doll's abdomen, it charged out at an incredible speed.
