I am the boss of Sakaki

Adam took two steps toward the center of the battle stage, holding the microphone. "The first match of this Quartz Tournament: Contestant Matsubara versus Contestant Sanae—both Spirits, please take the stage!"

And on the field was Yuichiro who was acting as the referee.

The players on both sides of the battle stage raised their hands at the same time, and the Poké Balls drew two short arcs in the air and landed on the ground with a "click".

"Strange power, come on!"

"Onix, please!"

The white light dissipated, and the strange force on the left stood firmly, with muscles bulging under the purple and black skin, four arms slightly raised, and knuckles cracking.

This is an old friend I have raised for four years. He is a mid-level senior fighting-type Pokémon, exuding a calm and ruthless aura.

Onix on the right fell to the stage with a "bang", half of its body coiled into a spiral, its head raised higher than several monsters piled together, its opponent reflected in its pupils, and it was obvious that it was also an experienced fighter honed through training in the gym.

Same senior level.

Songyuan raised his hand first, pointing his finger at Onix's vital point: "Strange strength, test its strength first! Use your bare hands to strike!"

Guai Li roared, crossed his front two arms to gather strength, white light flashed on his palms, and he pushed off the ground to rush forward.

This move focuses on breaking the defense with one strike.

Sanae raised her baton lightly, "Onix, hold your composure! Block the front with rock!"

The giant rock snake slammed its tail against the ground, and the table surface cracked with several cracks. Several rocks half a person's height stood up out of thin air and piled up into a stone wall in front of it.

There was a dull "bang" sound as it hit the rock hard, sparks splashed all over the ground, and the rock cracked.

Fighting-type counters Rock-type. Although this move did not completely break the wall, it did cause Onix's body to tremble.

"It hurts!" Song Yuan's eyes lit up and he immediately changed his tone: "Strange strength, don't hit it head-on! Go around to the side! Use bullet punches!"

Guai Li reacted extremely quickly. He lowered his body and slid in an arc along the ground, avoiding the side of the stone wall. His four arms swung out so fast that only afterimages were left.

Bullet punches focus on combos and target gaps.

Sanae was sharp-eyed and shouted hurriedly, "Onix, turn around and flick your tail! Don't let it get close!"

Onix's huge body twisted suddenly, and its thick and long tail whipped out with the sound of wind, and its speed was much faster than it looked.

Just as Guili was about to punch, he saw the tail sweeping towards him, so he quickly jumped back half a step. The tail brushed past his shoulder and hit the stone wall with a "bang", actually knocking down half of the wall.

"That was a close call!" someone in the stands exclaimed.

Kokobul stroked his beard and nodded. "This girl's command is steady. She knows how to use her size to restrict movement. The boy is also smart. He counters the moves and doesn't linger. Not bad."

Taking advantage of the dust raised by the collapsing stone wall, Songyuan shouted again: "Giant strength, get close! Throw it on the earth!"

The strange force took advantage of the smoke and dust to rush forward.

On Earth, the throw is to lift the opponent over your head and smash it down, which is specifically used to counter large elves.

Sanae wouldn't let him succeed, so she shouted, "Onix, burrow!"

Onix plunged its head into the ground and burrowed into the soil with a whoosh, leaving only a hole on the table.

Guai Li rushed to the edge of the pit, supported himself on the ground with his four arms, and put his ears to the stone slabs to listen for any movement.

"Left!" Song Yuan suddenly pointed to the ground on the left.

Guai Li suddenly jumped to the left, and just as he landed, a dirt pit exploded where he had just been standing. Onix's head popped out with mud and opened its mouth to bite. Fortunately, he dodged quickly and only got a slight scratch.

"Now! Grab it!" Songyuan shouted, seizing the opportunity.

Guai Li turned around and pounced, grabbing Onix's neck with his four arms.

The onix had just emerged from the soil and hadn't even stood up when it was caught. "Lift it up!" Songyuan shouted.

With a low roar, Guai Li exerted force with his arms, and actually lifted the several-ton Onix above his head and slammed it hard onto the table!

"Boom--!"

The tabletop shook, and Onix was hit so hard that it saw stars, tilted its head, and passed out.

"The winner is determined! Player Songyuan wins!"

There was warm applause from the stands.

The second person to take the stage was a tall and thin young man with a gray T-shirt and rolled up sleeves. His name was Takuma. He had been in the contestant's booth, looking down and wiping his Poké Ball.

His opponent was a boy wearing round-frame glasses. He released a Roserade. The purple-red bud swayed above his head, and the poisonous needle was faintly visible.

Takuma raised his chin: "Infernape."

The orange-red-haired monkey elf brought a gust of hot air when it landed, and pressed its front paws into the ground, and flames shot out from the pads of its feet.

This momentum is even stronger than the strange power just now.

The boy with glasses nervously gripped his baton: "Rose Raido, use the poison needle!"

Just as Roserade was about to raise her flower bud, Takuma spoke in a deep voice: "Infernape, Flash Charge."

Infernape's body flashed so fast that only a shadow was left, and Roserade's stinger didn't even touch it.

Before the boy with glasses could react, the afterimage suddenly turned into a fireball and hit Roserade with a "bang".

The Flash Charge was already incredibly powerful, and with the added speed of Infernape, Roserade was knocked flying and hit the protective net. Most of her petals wilted, and she fainted.

"One move?" Yan Kai's eyes widened. "Is this Infernape a quasi-King level one?"

It is almost the same as the one-time and two-time champions in the past.

Maybe everyone has forgotten their names.

This is what it means when heroes are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.

As times changed, they were soon forgotten and became a thing of the past.

Just be a branch director or something.

As he was speaking, the announcement sounded again: "Next match, player Watari will face player Tanaka!"

The little red-haired girl walked onto the stage, her windbreaker swaying slightly in the wind.

His opponent was a sturdy boy. He raised his hand and released a fire-breathing dragon. Its wings spread nearly two meters and sparks rolled in its throat.

This Charizard has broad wings and claws that glow dimly. It is obviously a tough character honed through years of actual combat. In terms of momentum alone, it is already top-notch among the Pokémon of ordinary trainers.

He has good strength, and is at the early gym level.

"That Charizard is incredibly powerful! I'm afraid he's almost reaching the level of a quasi-king!" There was a commotion in the stands. "Tanaka finished in the top 20 at the previous Quartz Conference last year. No wonder he's so powerful!"

Tanaka puffed out his chest and said, "My Charizard has conquered every gym in Kanto. You little brat should just give in!"

Du didn't respond, but pressed his fingertips lightly on the Poké Ball.

The white light made a low hum as it landed on the ground. The little orange fat man spread his wings, circled half a circle, and landed steadily on the stage.

It turned out to be a Dragonite.

"Dragonite? A child this young can raise a Dragonite?"

"This size... is a lot bigger than an ordinary dragon!"

What was even more shocking was that when Dragonite landed on the ground, the stone slab on the table sank slightly, and the air pressure emitted from its body made the Charizard on the opposite side subconsciously shrink its neck.

Kokobul sat up straight. "This aura... gym level! How old is this kid, and Dragonite has already reached gym level?"

Ah Cheng curled the corners of his mouth beside him.

The past few months spent in the Yulong clan were not in vain.

The level has been greatly improved.

"Quick Dragon, Dragon Claw." Du's voice was clear and crisp, but with a steady force.

Dragonite roared, wrapped its right claw with a sharp edge, and appeared in front of Charizard in a flash.

Tanaka shouted urgently: "Charizard, block it with your wings! Use your flaming fist!"

The Charizard slammed its wings together to protect its front, while its right claw wrapped in flames to meet the attack.

But when Kuailong's claws fell, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and the wings were actually chopped back halfway by the claws.

Charizard felt pain, but before it could throw out its flaming fist, Dragonite swung its tail and hit it accurately in the abdomen.

"Boom!" Charizard hit the protective net, its wings drooped, and it fell listlessly on the stage.

From the start to the end, it took only ten seconds.

The stands were silent for a second before erupting into deafening cheers. "Gym-level Dragonite!"

"That's amazing! He's already this capable at this age, what will he be able to do in the future?"

Du took back Dragonite and turned to walk towards the contestant's seat. When passing by N, the green-haired kid raised his baseball cap and a smile flashed in his eyes.
