Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

The only one suffering is Nan Yin, who has been experiencing a sharp pain in her eardrums recently.

"Such a fast pace, an intensity never seen before. In just a moment of distraction, the opponent seized the opportunity."

Seeing that Satoshi had already lost one of his members, Clemont was still in a state of shock and disbelief.

As for Xiaozhi, he wasn't able to quickly recover from the aftermath of the defeat, but fortunately—

"Pickup!"

Leaping forward to the boy, and reminding his partner that the battle was not over, the electric mouse raised its tail with surging fighting spirit.

"Sorry to have worried you, Pikachu."

Rekindling the flame within him, Ash turned his gaze back to the arena.

His swift defeat surprised him greatly and made him even more serious.

The girl before him was a formidable adversary with whom he had to devote his whole heart and soul to the struggle.

"My next Pokémon is Pikachu!"

The scan results from the Palkia Pokédex were just coming in when the electric mouse leaped into the air and unleashed a metallic tail strike.

"Use Iron Tail!"

P.S.: Please give me some free votes and encouragement, love you~

Chapter 52 Inevitable Victory

Shaped like metal tearing through the air, the explosive sound resounded in our ears. Despite its small size, it unleashed an immense power.

Is this still the iron tail of an electric mouse?

"Hold."

Unwilling to convey her emotions and trying her best to calm herself down, Nan Yin only gave instructions at the most appropriate time.

"Buyi!"

He released all his strength and lowered his body to assume the best defensive posture.

However, unlike a typical swing that conserves power in one spot, the defensive stance initially withstood the strongest attack, but the metallic luster never faded.

With a quick adjustment of its posture and the rebound from hitting the thin wall, Pikachu delivered a second and a third Iron Tail strike.

The relentless, flowing rhythm of the attack suddenly gave Nanyin a sense of unattainable remoteness.

This is the result of years of honing skills, imprinting the instinct for battle into the simultaneous execution of moves, which has far exceeded the limits that should be reached at this stage.

With ease, the electric mouse lashes the ground before its remaining force dissipates, thereby creating a certain distance between itself and the ground.

With no chance of pursuit, Ibrahimovic, despite not being injured, was already panting heavily and exhausted after enduring this onslaught.

Against Pikachu, Eevee has no advantage in terms of attributes, and with its defense waning, trying to fight back would be nothing short of a slow death.

A shift in mindset is inevitable.

"Good job, now use the electric ball!"

A burst of dazzling lightning erupted, and pillars of electric snakes intertwined, converging into a massive energy cluster. Having confirmed its location, Pikachu suddenly swung its tail, unleashing a golden electric ball with all its might.

As the electric ball struck the soil, it emitted a continuous hissing sound, and dust and smoke rose wildly.

But when you look again, the figure standing still in the middle of the field is completely unmoved, as if it doesn't care at all about the spread of the volts.

"Bang!"

Shaking off the sand and gravel clinging to its body, the dark blue beast straightened its pincers and completely absorbed the powerful attack.

The combination of terrestrial and flight attributes allows Scorpio to cover its skin with an insulating lichen, preventing the penetration of electricity.

The effect of a lightning strike is zero.

"Scorpio?"

Upon seeing this figure, Ash was also filled with deep nostalgia. When he was traveling in the Sinnoh region, he also had a child who loved to cry.

But surprises are always surprises, and the battles never stop.

"Move at high speed and close the distance!"

"Quicksand Abyss".

Twisting his shoulders and waist, he poured all his strength into the ground. With each heavy slam, the ground beneath Scorpion's feet cracked into a funnel shape, with surrounding soil and gravel gushing in.

The terrain, therefore, changes.

As the name suggests, this move is enough to drag the opponent into quicksand, constantly wearing down their stamina over a prolonged period of time.

Of course, the boy wouldn't let this situation continue. By moving at high speed and increasing his momentum, the electric mouse's figure was already as fast as lightning, and even telekinesis could no longer keep up with or capture it.

"A feint attack."

"Hold."

Having figured out the girl's intention to delay, the outcome of the tactical failure was now crystal clear.

Just as the scorpion was about to raise its pincers to launch a horizontal attack, the electric mouse darted behind it and slammed its tail down with lightning speed.

Fortunately, this feint attack was just a hasty strike when the footing was unstable. Scorpio is far from losing its fighting power. The real danger lies in the subsequent skillful follow-up attacks.

"Iron Tail!"

The metallic sheen covered the tail again. The electric mouse was too close to adjust its position and was immediately struck.

It was precisely this straightforward approach that allowed Nan Yin to seize an opportunity.

"Tap hard."

The second stomp caused the already loose soil to collapse, creating a pit. The iron tail strike just missed Scorpio's head.

Driven by inertia, before it could even stop, the dark blue beast had already broken free and soared into the air, its still-tender wings creating billowing dust.

"sandstorm."

Beneath its feet lay shifting sands, constantly sinking into it and churning with gravel; above, a sandstorm obstructed its view and scratched its skin. Looking around, Pikachu realized there was nowhere left to stand.

The other party's figure was also mixed in with the others, lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment.

"Pickup?"

Looking at the boy with some confusion, the lack of vision prevented the electric mouse from finding its target, and it was impossible to talk about breaking the delay with a fast attack.

"Use electromagnetic waves, Pikachu, use your electrified cheeks to receive feedback."

He might have been momentarily distracted, but Ash quickly came up with a strategy to deal with it.

The surging, powerful energy electrifies the network, extending outwards before converging again. In a matter of seconds, Pikachu finds Scorpius's location.

—The soil layer directly beneath it.

Deeply surprised, it tried to jump away, but before it could, the figure in dark blue broke through the cover of the soil and pierced the former's body with its tail needle.

"Toxic."

With a single strike and a retreat, without any pause, the electric mouse was constantly on the move due to its frequent, minor attacks and internal ailments, yet it could not find an opportunity to deliver a decisive blow.

The erosion of quicksand, the slashing of sandstorms, the aggravation of deadly poison... the senses are restricted, the body becomes increasingly sluggish, and even with formidable abilities, one cannot wield them effectively.

If they manage to hold their ground, or launch a weak feint attack, they are like insects in a spider web gradually losing their resistance, their own condition constantly declining while the opponent's momentum continues to rise.

It was the first time that Ash had experienced such a feeling of exhaustion during a battle, a feeling he had never felt before.

Is Ash going to lose?

At this moment, even Yulijia, who had never tried a battle before, could tell who was favored in the arena.

"Pikachu is almost out of energy. Theoretically, it's very difficult to turn the tide, but I have faith in Ash."

Just as Citron said, the boy was not frustrated or angry by the setback; on the contrary, he was even more determined to fight and laughed heartily.

"Pikachu, use Surf!"

A burst of lightning struck the dark clouds, and the sudden surge of heat brought rain. With the added humidity, Pikachu channeled all its energy and rode the surging waves forward.

Unable to hide under the quicksand any longer, and with its fragile wing membranes unable to quickly gain altitude, Scorpio had no way to avoid this attack.

As the waves subsided, the small, dark-colored beast was soaking wet and could no longer get up, while the electric mouse also looked embarrassed, unable to support its limp body.

boom.

After a dull thud as its body hit the ground, Pikachu drooped its head and truly fell into a coma.

With a score of 1 to 0, it's immediately clear who has retained their fighting strength and who has completely lost it.

"Pikachu and Gliscor are both out of the game, the outcome is decided."

The old butler lowered the flag and announced the result to the two people in the arena and to the surrounding crowd who had been drawn in.

"According to the rules, the winner of this challenge is Viscount Nan Yin."

Even though the scale of her efforts couldn't compare, the rhythm of offense and defense seemed to be entirely in the girl's hands. Perhaps this was why she rarely had any doubts and focused solely on her work.

Extreme seriousness leads to extreme calmness; this is what is meant by decisive command.

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Rest of My Life and Of Course

"How do you feel about the child?"

On the second floor of the courtyard, in the VIP seating area, conversations gradually filled the air, with people expressing their admiration.

"The moves are very well connected and make the most of each Pokémon's strengths. At this stage, he is a very talented trainer."

With a flick of her fingertips and a slight lift of her sunglasses, the red-haired woman casually swiped the screen in her palm, occasionally glancing out of the corner of her eye at the pink diamond princess wrapped up tightly beside the girl.

It was clear that she cared more about the unfamiliar Pokémon than about the one that had just won.

"It seems our senior reporter isn't very interested in the younger generation."

Narrowing her eyes and smiling at the other woman, the woman with long, black hair seemed to be teasing and joking, or perhaps testing something.

"Please stop teasing me, Ms. Dorasena. I have important business to attend to today, so I'll take my leave now."

As she turned away, from an angle where she couldn't see, a shadow fell over Paqira's face.

Is this a warning to myself? Could it be that the Alliance has already found clues about the tricks I did in Stone Town?

The open and covert battles between the Heavenly Kings came to an end, and the direct dialogue between the girl and the boy in the arena also came to a close.

Crossing the venue, she lifted the weak and feeble Scorpio into her arms, not caring that his clothes were soaked with water, and whispered words of comfort.

"Thank you for your hard work, little one."

"Bang!"

Although nearly exhausted, the dark blue beast still raised its claws, showing off its accomplishments to the girl.

Without uttering a word, she simply stroked the other person's forehead with her fingertips, over and over again.

Once the little guy had calmed down and gradually fallen asleep, Nan Yin got up and looked at the black-haired boy diagonally opposite her.

With almost identical actions, Ash also hugged Electric Mouse tightly, constantly asking about its condition.

"Pickup..."

Hearing Pikachu's weak sounds, the girl also remembered that the poison from before had not yet subsided.
