Chapter 371: You Are Not Allowed to Insult the Great Giovanni!!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
"It's a hit, it's a hit! Ivysaur took a Flying-type Aerial Ace, and that's a lot of damage!!"
The commentator shouted at the top of his lungs.
Even if Beedrill's power was trash, the damage from a Super Effective hit was still there, not to be underestimated.
Xunzi gave her opponent no chance to recover, raising her hand and ordering the attack, "Continue, Beedrill, use Aerial Ace!"
"Chaa!"
Beedrill brought its twin stingers together into a piercing point, and with a tremble of its insectoid wings, it once again closed in on its target at high speed.
The situation had suddenly become critical.
"Ivysaur! Get up!"
At Ash's rousing cry, Ivysaur, who had taken an Aerial Ace, got back to its feet. The sharp white light drew ever closer, but its usually simple gaze hardened, even turning ferocious as the aura around its body surged and roiled.
During the month of special training before the tournament began, Ash and Ivysaur hadn't actually interacted. He had simply released it onto the large mountain in his backyard, letting it roam free.
And in that month, Ivysaur, through its own Strength, had forcefully taken down all four of the Totem Pokémon that had claimed the mountain as their territory, becoming the new king of Pallet Town's backyard.
Now, any Pokémon that entered the backyard ecosystem had to respectfully offer Ivysaur a berry and call it 'Second Brother'.
How could a Pokémon like that lose to this dime-a-dozen Beedrill before it!?
"Saur!!"
Its memories granted Ivysaur immense Strength. It let out a loud cry, and the fragrance from the flower bud on its back instantly spread for miles. A miraculous energy radiated outward from its body.
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...*
Starting from the ground at its feet, countless green leaves and pink petals materialized from thin air, swirling around Ivysaur in a beautiful display.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!*
The next second, a hurricane erupted.
A spiraling gale whipped up out of nowhere around Ivysaur's body, sweeping up all the petals and leaves and forming a plant-filled tornado that shot toward the sky.
Propelled by the gale, the once-beautiful leaves and petals instantly became incredibly sharp and menacing, as if they could slice through the air itself, filled with a dangerous aura.
This move was a combination of Petal Blizzard and Petal Dance. It possessed the danger and terrifying Power of Petal Dance, yet had the stability of Petal Blizzard, preventing the user from falling into Confusion after it ended. It was a perfect intermediate form.
If it weren't for Ivysaur's incredibly high affinity for the Grass-type, it would be an impossible move to perform.
Blossom Dance!!
"Chaa..."
This near-360-degree storm of leaves and petals made Beedrill hesitate. It slammed on the brakes right in front of the Blossom Dance, its Aerial Ace posture faltering, unsure how to proceed.
"Now, use Blossom Dance!!"
As Ash's voice fell, Ivysaur, inside the storm, began to move on all fours, charging its target. The countless leaves and petals surrounding it moved as well, creating a terrifying spectacle.
However, Beedrill's Speed was not low. With a flutter of its wings, it instantly shot up several body lengths, easily dodging the attack.
Seeing this, Ash wasn't angry but delighted. A gleam of a successful scheme flashed in his eyes.
"Have you forgotten something?"
Before Xunzi could even wonder, Ivysaur had already appeared beneath Beedrill. The storm of petals around its body instantly swelled several times in size, spinning and expanding toward its target.
Ash's goal was never to deal damage with Ivysaur's body.
*Swish, swish, swish...*
Caught off guard, Beedrill was instantly swept into the tornado, its body momentarily stunned inside, unable to move.
Within the storm, countless leaves and petals, like the sharp edges of blades, continuously slashed across its skin, inflicting constant damage. The sounds coming from within made everyone shiver involuntarily.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
The Blossom Dance continued right before everyone's eyes for a full minute, a testament to Ivysaur's immense Durability and its supreme control over the Grass-type.
A minute later, the Blossom Dance dissipated. A Beedrill covered in wounds appeared before them. Its yellow-and-black-striped body was covered in sharp, cut-like wounds, and it was trembling slightly.
Although it had a natural resistance to the Grass-type, it couldn't overcome its inherently low HP. What would be a mere scratch to others...
...was like scraping the bone for Beedrill.
"Beedrill! Look out!!"
Beedrill was still panting in mid-air when it suddenly heard its master's anxious warning from behind. It instinctively raised its head.
Its vision was filled with a brilliant cyan light, approaching it rapidly like a shockwave.
*WHOOSH!!*
Beedrill instinctively tried to dodge, but the shockwave appeared on its escape trajectory a step ahead, slamming squarely into its abdomen. The immense force instantly sent it plummeting from the sky, crashing heavily onto the Grassy Field below.
Half a second later, the green shockwave resolved back into its toad-like form, landing steadily on the ground after a couple of tumbles. Its movements weren't swift, but they gave off a very stable feeling.
"Great job, Ivysaur!"
Ash clapped his hands and encouraged it loudly.
How dare it lose focus in front of his Ivysaur with so little health left?
Grassy Glide, the professional way to secure a knockout.
The Referee hurried over to check on it, only to see that Beedrill had completely fainted. He immediately raised his arm and announced, "Beedrill is unable to battle! Ivysaur wins the first match!"
At the same time, a battle was also underway in the adjacent Rock Arena.
On one side was a youth with a buzz cut, dressed in a simple, earth-yellow training uniform. He bizarrely held a long whip in his hand, his expression shadowed and fierce, giving off a hard-to-approach vibe.
And in front of him was a half-man-tall, yellow-skinned, mouse-like Pokémon, its back covered in a layer of brown, spiky fur-armor.
The buzz-cut trainer cracked his whip against the ground and launched his attack, "Sandslash, use Slash!"
The surroundings were a cratered Rocky Ground. Sandslash had already raised its claws high, which glinted with a terrifying light. It kicked off the ground with its hind legs and charged ferociously toward its target, its movements swift and ruthless.
Opposite the buzz-cut youth was the Spiky-Haired Youth, dressed in blue casual clothes with a pair of brown Hiker's boots on his feet. His expression was different from usual, with less frivolity and more seriousness.
"Psyduck, use Double Team!"
Following Gary's command, the yellow duck in front of him immediately started running. Its movements were nimble, and in an instant, the figures of several Psyducks appeared on the Rock Arena. Sandslash's Slash only shattered an illusion, having no effect.
Seeing this, Gary's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to command, "Now, use Water Gun!!"
"Gaa-puu!!"
Several Psyducks spewed columns of blue water, carrying immense water pressure with imposing might, simultaneously strafing the target.
Facing the attacks coming from all directions, the buzz-cut trainer was unperturbed and immediately shouted, "Sandslash, use Rollout!!"
Sandslash leaped up on the spot, curling its body into a ball and spinning at high speed. As it spun, its hard outer shell even broke through the endless streams of water, which splashed harmlessly to the ground, causing no damage whatsoever.
The high-speed clash of offense and defense pushed the battle's atmosphere to its peak.
Just then, Gary looked at the buzz-cut youth before him, and his expression suddenly changed. A mocking look appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but speak, "Not bad, classmate Xiao Ming. Your Sandshrew can still ignore Water-type attacks, hehe."
The buzz-cut youth, whom Gary had called 'Xiao Ming', cracked his whip, his gaze fierce as he stared daggers at Gary.
"Hmph, I'm not Xiao Ming anymore! My name is Jimu, and I'm the one who will defeat you today!"
If the murderous glint in his eyes could kill, Gary's ancestral grave would have already split open.
"Hehe, you think you can beat me just by joining Team Rocket? Here's a piece of trivia for you: a couple of months ago, I totally wrecked your boss Giovanni~~"
Gary's eyes narrowed as he continued his taunts. It seemed like he was just being sarcastic and provocative, but he was actually trying to break his opponent's mental fortitude and find a breakthrough.
The moment the words left his mouth, Jimu's expression changed drastically. His face instantly twisted, and he roared, on the verge of fury, "I won't let you insult the great Giovanni!! Sandslash, use Fissure at maximum Power!!"
