I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 198

"Holy crap, what's going on? Brother Mao, are you throwing this at me? You fought like that last round, and now you've just wiped me out in a second. Is that Ash really that strong?"

"Damn it, I didn't bet on a perfect victory. I bet that Gary would have 4 Pokémon left after the final '020'. What's wrong with Ye Yue? How come the Pokémon he caught in his hometown are so weak?"

"Ye Yue, please don't play me!"

The audience was stunned.

Because Xiao Mao's performance in the last game was poor, many people did not bet on Xiao Mao winning completely or winning three games in a row.

As a result, right at the start of the game, Ye Yue's first Pokémon was instantly defeated, as if he had returned to the preliminaries league era.

Ye Yue looked at the defeated Mutant Dragon and realized how strong Xiao Mao was. He immediately recalled the Mutant Dragon.

"Xiao Mao, you're too strong. Luckily, I didn't overestimate myself. This time, I'll use all my main forces," Ye Yue said.

Xiao Mao was taken aback. Ye Yue was a trainer from the Hoenn region and had participated in the Hoenn League Conference before coming to the Kanto region.

The Pokémon he used to participate in the Silver Conference were all caught in the Kanto region. He had previously used Kecleon and Blaziken, so could he have other Pokémon?

However, considering that Ye Yue didn't use Blaziken in his battle against Du She, and didn't show his other 5 Pokémon either, he must have used other Pokémon.

However, Xiao Mao felt that the Pokémon Ye Yue caught in his hometown probably didn't have high potential. Even the clown dragon only had the potential of a gym leader, which shows that Ye Yue didn't have many high-potential Pokémon.

"Go, Dream Song Cactus!" Ye Yue threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

A humanoid plant appeared on the field.

【LV49 Dream Song Cactus♂/Gym】

Just as Xiao Mao predicted, Ye Yue's Pokémon were not very strong, and the only one he could show off was Blaziken.

Furthermore, this Blaziken is no match for Ash's current Charizard, since Ash is much stronger than before.

Previously, Xiao Mao thought that Ye Yue might have some strength, but now it seems that Xiao Mao was obviously overthinking things.

"Frozen Teeth!" Shigeru commanded.

"Roar!!"

Gyarados charged rapidly toward Cactus Sedum, its mouth gleaming coldly. A layer of icy blue aura enveloped Gyarados's fangs as it lunged to bite at Cactus Sedum.

"Defend with spikes," Ye Yue commanded.

The Dream Song Cactus is covered in sharp thorns, forming a sharp protective layer that blocks Gyarados's attacks. At the same time, Gyarados is also injured by the thorns.

Spike Defense works the same as Protect, but with an additional effect: if you get too close, you'll take damage back. But this minor injury is nothing to Gyarados.

"Storm!" Shigeru commanded.

"Roar!!"

Gyarados roared at Cactus Song, and a gust of wind swept by, instantly causing grass and trees to fly. Cactus Song was unable to dodge the storm and had to withstand it with its body.

"Big characters Explosion!!"

"Seed Machine Gun!!"

The two issued commands one after the other.

Gyarados unleashed a massive fireball, while Cactus spit out seeds formed from plant energy, shooting out like bullets. However, these seeds were instantly destroyed upon contact with the flames, and the massive fireball landed on Cactus spitting out its own body.

boom! !

Despite being struck by the explosive flames, the Dream Song Cactus did not fall, though its skin looked even drier and more wrinkled.

"Use water chestnuts to propagate the Dream Song Cactus," Ye Yue commanded.

Upon hearing Ye Yue's command, Xiao Mao immediately ordered, "Freeze Fang!"

Gyarados charged forward quickly, but Cactus ignored it, its spikes shooting out as it burrowed into the ground. Gyarados then approached Cactus and bit down.

"Quick, use the same life!" Ye Yue shouted hurriedly.

"What!!"

Xiao Mao was startled; he hadn't expected Ye Yue's Dream Song Cactus to share the same fate.

At this moment, Gyarados's attacks still could not stop, its Ice Fang biting into Cactus.

"Dream!!"

The Dream Song Cactus let out a painful howl, its eyes filled with resentment and glowing red, before collapsing. At the same time, Gyarados, also affected by its fate, crashed down.

"Both Cactus and Gyarados are simultaneously unable to battle," the referee announced.

Everyone was surprised; they never expected things to turn out this way.

"Wow! Ye Yue did a great job, we're in the same boat!!"

"Haha, Ye Yue, keep it up! If you defeat one more Pokémon, I won't have to go to work anymore."

"Brother Mao, come on! I bet you'll only have 5 Pokémon left, don't lose any more."

Xiao Mao was also surprised that Ye Yue would use the same fate; it was quite unexpected.

The two retrieved the defeated elf.

The first half of the match is not over yet, so there is no concept of attacking first or second; both players must release their Pokémon simultaneously.

"I wonder what Pokémon the two contestants will send out next," the host asked curiously.

Seeing that both players were ready, the referee said, "The match continues. Both players, please release your Pokémon simultaneously."

As soon as they finished speaking, Xiao Mao and Ye Yue simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls.

"Go, Nyx Assassin!"

"It's your turn, Charizard!"

Awesome! 2.9!

【LV46 Nioula♂/King】

【LV66 Charizard♂/Champion】

As Charizard landed on the ground, Spikes, which had been lying in ambush, immediately launched an attack, causing some damage to Charizard.

Xiao Mao glanced at the emerging water chestnuts and indicated that it wasn't a big problem.

"Oh no! Ye Yue's Sneasel is countered by Xiao Mao's Charizard. I wonder if Sneasel can turn the tide," the host said.

"Mao Ye even has a fire-breathing dragon!"

"I wonder how strong this fire-breathing dragon is."

"How could Charizard not be strong? The King Dan Emperor's ace is Charizard."

Currently, Leon is recognized as the strongest trainer, and his ace Pokémon is Charizard. Therefore, Charizard naturally attracts people's attention. In any case, as long as you see Charizard, you won't think that Charizard is weak.

297: Xiao Mao VS Ye Yue (3)

Ye Yue was in a real bind. He didn't have any Water-type Pokémon, and none of his other Pokémon were a match for Charizard. Even Blaziken was type-countered by Charizard, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep fighting.

"Sneasel, use Quick Attack!" Ye Yue launched an attack, and Sneasel charged quickly towards Charizard.

"Dragon Claw!" Xiao Mao commanded.

Charizard's claws were enveloped in a layer of dark green energy, forming a cluster of claws. Charizard slammed them directly at the charging Sneasel. Sneasel made a sudden stop and turn, dodging Charizard's attack, and crashed headfirst into Charizard's belly. However, Charizard didn't budge, while Sneasel was bounced away.

Seeing this, Charizard slapped down with its other claw without hesitation.

Bah! !

Niu La flew backward and crashed to the ground, its eyes darting around.

"Sneasel is unable to battle, Charizard wins." The referee announced: "All three of Ye Yue's Pokémon are unable to battle, the first half is over, and there will be a 5-minute break."

The first half has ended, and we are now in halftime.

Xiao Mao and Ye Yue both left the command area and rested in the rest area.

"That Charizard is really strong! That Sneasel couldn't even withstand one hit," Brock exclaimed.

Ash and his friends witnessed Ye Yue catching Sneasel on their way to Silver Town, at the Anemo Institute. Ye Yue had to put in a lot of effort to catch it.

Unexpectedly, this Sneasel was so helpless against Gary's Charizard, unable to withstand even a single attack.

"It seems Ye Yue is no match for Xiao Mao either. Xiao Mao is going to win the Silver Tournament this year," Xiao Xia said.

Ash didn't say anything. He knew that Ye Yue was no match for Gary, but he was eager to see how strong Ye Yue's Blaziken was.

So far, Ye Yue has not used Blaziken in the Silver Tournament.

Five minutes passed quickly, the game continued, and Xiao Mao and Ye Yue were already standing in the command area.

"We will soon bring you the second half of the match. In the second half, Ye Yue will attack first, and Xiao Mao will attack second. Currently, Ye Yue has 3 Pokémon left, and Xiao Mao has 5 Pokémon left."

The commentator said, "It's clear that Xiao Mao has a significant advantage, but Ye Yue certainly has a chance to turn things around. Now it's up to the referees."

After saying that, the referee announced, "The second half of the match begins. Please send out your Pokémon first, Ye Yue."

Ye Yue nodded and threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Go, Dream Eater!"

Baton!

【LV45 Dream-Attracting Baku (♂) / Dojo】

A dream-inducing tapir covered in yellow fur appeared on the field, holding a ring with a thin string tied to it, a ring specifically designed for hypnosis.

"Charizard, the second half is your responsibility." Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

"Roar!!"

Charizard makes another appearance.

"Xiao Mao continues to send out Charizard to fight, while Ye Yue sends out Baku. I'm really looking forward to the next battle."

Seeing that both sides had sent out their Pokémon, the referee immediately announced the start of the battle.

"Burst flames!" Shigeru commanded.

"Roar!"
