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

Page 189

Jianzi Mian immediately took action, not launching a direct attack, but instead circling around the Hu territory, constantly searching for weaknesses in the Hu territory, which showed that she did have some brains.

Although the shuttlecock is very fast, its speed is useless against the Hula Cube.

"Alakazam, Gravity!" Shigeru commanded.

Hudi's eyes emitted a blue light, and a powerful gravity descended, distorting the surrounding space into black lines.

boom! !

The shuttlecock, moving at high speed, was unable to adapt to the sudden gravity and fell directly to the ground.

"What!" Mai was also stunned, not expecting Shigeru to use gravity against her.

However, it must be said that the reason why shuttlecocks can be so fast is because they can fly. Shuttlecocks that cannot fly cannot be that fast.

"Oh no! The shuttlecock's speed advantage can't be utilized due to gravity!" the host exclaimed.

Xiao Mao snapped his fingers and commanded, "End the battle, use Spiritual Power."

Alakazam crossed the spoons in his hands, and a pink beam of light shot out, hitting the shuttlecock and sending it flying out of the arena.

boom! !

The shuttlecock fell to the ground, its eyes spinning in circles.

"Jianzi Mian is unable to fight, Hu Di wins," the referee announced.

"Wow! A one-hit kill!" the host exclaimed. "Xiao Mao's strength is truly remarkable. No wonder he's a champion of the league tournament."

"Holy crap! This Xiao Mao is really something else."

"Yeah, I thought he was just bragging, but I didn't expect him to actually have the skills."

"Go for it, Xiao Mao! I bet you can take down three opponents in one go!" a red-faced, burly man shouted.

"Dude, you're getting too cocky. You even dared to bet on a 1-3 sweep."

"What do you know? Have you seen Gary's record at the Indigo League? Apart from battling a trainer named Ash, where he lost a Pokémon, he won all his other matches. He even had a few 1v3 victories."

The red-faced, thick-necked man shouted, "It's been almost a year already, and Xiao Mao's strength will only get stronger. I bet Xiao Mao will win both of the preliminary league matches, or at least win them all, or even win three out of three matches in a row."

"Really? Are you so sure?!"

"If you don't believe me, throw me down!"

....!

On the field, after losing a Pokémon, Mai took the Poké Ball from the left side of her waist and threw it forcefully.

"Go, Houndoom!"

Baton!

【LV44 Houndoom♂/Gym】

A black dog, with a pair of goat horns on its head, appeared.

"Fuck you... Houndoom!" In the audience, a burly man with a red face and thick neck wanted to curse.

He bought Gary's Alakazam to win against three opponents, but Shinichi sent out a Houndoom. Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic-type moves, so Gary will definitely replace Alakazam, and then it won't be a one-against-three victory.

The audience around the big man couldn't help but laugh. Just a moment ago, they had been listening to the big man's analysis, which seemed very reasonable, but in the next moment, they were proven wrong. Losing face was not important; the key was that they had lost their money.

"Little Shigeru, if you don't switch your Pokémon, I'll call you Dad!" the burly man with a red face and thick neck shouted.

Everyone around scoffed, saying, "Aren't you just making things difficult for them? How can a Psychic-type Pokémon fight a Dark-type Pokémon?"

But soon, the audience was stunned. When Gary saw that Shiny had sent out Houndoom, he did not choose to switch Pokémon, but instead continued to use Alakazam.

"I didn't expect you to prepare a Dark-type Pokémon. Unfortunately, it won't work on my Alakazam. Alakazam, use Miracle Eye," Gary commanded.

Alakazam's eyes emitted a strange white light, seeing through Houndoom's true nature and causing it to be hit by a Psychic-type move.

"Hello, roar!" Mai commanded through gritted teeth.

"Ow!!"

Houndoom roared, and black sound waves spread rapidly, attacking anyone on the field.

"Use a light wall to block it."

Upon hearing the sound, a wall of light materialized in front of Hu Di, neutralizing some of the damage from the loud roar.

"Crush it!" Zhenyi changed her command to 003.

Houndoom galloped quickly toward Alakazam.

"Teleport to dodge, and find an opportunity to use Explosive Fist," Xiao Mao calmly commanded.

Alakazam used Teleport to dodge Houndoom's bite. Houndoom, having missed its bite, immediately began to carefully observe its surroundings, constantly watching Alakazam's movements.

However, Alakazam didn't try to confuse Houndoom too much. After teleporting away from Houndoom, Alakazam used Teleport again, teleporting directly in front of Houndoom and throwing a Explosive Punch at Houndoom's head.

boom! !

Houndoom reacted quickly and countered with Crunch, but in a head-on clash, it was no match for Alakazam and was sent flying by Alakazam's Burst Punch.

Houndoom, which was sent flying by the hammer, did not fall down, but instead fell into a state of confusion, its body swaying unsteadily.

“Meditate!” Xiao Mao said.

Alakazam closed his eyes and began to meditate. His body automatically floated into the air, and his Nen ability became even sharper.

"Oh no! Houndoom is in a confused state, and Alakazam is using Meditation to boost its abilities. If Houndoom doesn't wake up soon, things could get really bad!" the host quickly explained.

After saying that, Alakazam finished meditating, and Gary immediately commanded, "Psychic Shock."

"Houndoom, come back!" However, at the critical moment, Mai quickly took out a Poké Ball and recalled Houndoom before Psychic Strike could hit.

283: First match, one win against three opponents

"Really..." Xiao Mao pouted, feeling that Zhenyi was just wasting time. Wouldn't it be better to just accept defeat?

"That was close! Luckily, Mai Shiranui recalled her Houndoom in time. Otherwise, if she had been hit by the Psychic Blast, she might have been instantly defeated." The host breathed a sigh of relief for Mai Shiranui.

Mayi is feeling very ashamed and angry. At noon, she made some threats to Shigeru, saying that she would defeat him. However, she was completely suppressed and couldn't even launch a single effective attack.

Although Mayi recalled Houndoom in time, Gary didn't care much. After a meditation, his Alakazam was sure to be instantly defeated no matter who the opponent sent out.

"Slowbro, it's your turn!" Mai threw out a Poké Ball and sent out her third Pokémon.

Baton!

【LV45 Slowbro♀/Gym】

Mai's Slowbro level is decent, but its potential isn't high. It's probably a Pokémon that's been with Mai for a long time, possibly even her starter Pokémon, which is why it's always been by her side.

Psychic-type Pokémon have high resistance to Psychic-type moves, while Slowbro has both Water and Psychic types and can use Water-type moves. Therefore, if both sides were to trade damage, Slowbro would undoubtedly have the advantage.

"Destruction Ray!" Shigeru commanded.

An orange ball of light quickly condensed in front of Hudi. Seeing this, Zhenyi immediately commanded, "Use Instant Amnesia."

biu! !

As soon as he finished speaking, Alakazam fired Hyper Beam. The beam shot across the entire arena and hit Slowbro.

boom! ! !

A loud roar rang out, and a cloud of black smoke rose slowly. When the smoke dissipated, the Dumb Beast had already collapsed.

"Slowpoke is unable to fight, Alakazam wins."

"What..." Zhenyi couldn't believe that her Slowpoke had been instantly killed.

Slowbro's Special Defense isn't low, and its Amnesia buff can raise its Special Defense by 2 stages. The fact that it couldn't withstand that shows that Gary's Alakazam is extremely powerful, exceeding the average level of the Silver Conference.

"Wow, that's a powerful Hyper Beam! It instantly killed Slowbro. It seems Meditate has given Alakazam a significant boost." the commentator remarked.

"Well done! Keep it up, Xiao Mao! All that's left is Houndoom!!" In the stands, a red-faced, burly man was excited. If Xiao Mao could take down Houndoom with Alakazam, it would be a 1v3 victory, and he would make a fortune.

"Wow, he really hit the jackpot."

"Damn it, I only bet that Xiao Shi would defeat one Pokémon, but I didn't expect him to be able to defeat three in one go."

The burly man with a red face and thick neck bet that Xiao Mao could defeat three opponents at once, and the others could naturally see that Xiao Mao was stronger. After all, he had won the league tournament once, so it was impossible for him not to advance to the final tournament.

They just didn't expect that Xiao Mao could achieve a 1v3 record. The 48 players in the preliminary league were selected from more than 200 people. How could there be such a big gap between Zhen Yi and Xiao Mao?

"Houndoom, please...!" Mai knew she had no chance of turning the tide, but she still sent out Houndoom.

This is a public competition. If I were to concede defeat, it would be too embarrassing. I really can't afford to lose face like that.

Baton!

Houndoom makes another appearance.

Houndoom, now back in its Poké Ball, was freed from Miracle Eye and confusion. It reappeared, completely calm, and dared not attack rashly again.

"Houndoom, use Dark Pulse!" Before Alakazam could recover from its stunned state, May quickly gave the order.

"Roar!!" Black light burst from Houndoom's mouth, energy surged out of its mouth, and a black beam shot out, Boom!! The Dark Pulse hit Alakazam.

Seeing the Dark Pulse hit Alakazam, Mayi's solemn expression finally relaxed a little. However, when the smoke cleared, Alakazam was standing on the ground unharmed, as if the Dark Pulse had not caused it any damage.

Although Alakazam is fragile, the level difference between the two sides is too great, and with Light Screen protecting it, the Dark Pulse did not cause much damage to Alakazam.

"End the battle, use the Eye of Miracles, then use Mental Shock," Shigeru commanded.

Alakazam fired a solidified pink beam of psychic energy from its eyes at Houndoom.

"Houndoom, counterattack with Dark Pulse!" Mai fought back with all her might.

Houndoom unleashed a Dark Pulse, but it instantly disintegrated upon contact with the Psychic Shock. The Psychic Shock pierced through Houndoom, sending it flying and crashing to the ground, where it remained motionless.

"Houndoom is unable to battle, Alakazam wins!" The referee immediately announced, "All three of Shiny's Pokémon have been defeated. The match is over, and the winner is Gary."

"Ahhh! This is amazing! We're rich now! Club! Club!"

"Holy crap! This Xiao Mao is amazing, he took down three opponents in one go!"

"I'm speechless! That's awesome!"

Many people were hoping to see Xiao Mao make a fool of himself, but seeing his impressive record, they were all speechless.

Xiao Mao's first match ended with a victory, earning him 3 points. If he wins another match tomorrow, he'll have 6 points and advance directly.
