Pokémon, something's wrong with my Pokémon.

Page 280

Shota then challenged Tomoko.

"Tomoko-senpai, I might not lose this time. I'll use the experience from the two badges I got before to show you." Shota looked at Tomoko earnestly; he was much stronger than before!

“OK, I’ll take your challenge. Don’t let me down, Shota.” Tomoko naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Soon, the two arrived at the battlefield.

"This is a battle between Tomoko and Shota, each using only one Pokémon. The battle will end when one side is unable to battle. Neither side has any objections, right?" The referee is Clemont.

"In that case, I'd naturally choose the Lizard King!"

Shota tossed a Poké Ball, and out stood a magnificent, emerald-green Sceptile, seemingly agile, carrying a twig in its beak.

"So it really is the Lizard King!" Lin Xi naturally knew that Shota would take the ace, but he wanted to fight against the elemental disadvantage!

Pikachu, poised to enter the fray with great momentum, was stopped by Tomoko. "Let Greninja go with Pikachu," she said.

Pikachu's ears drooped instantly.

Greninja quickly entered the fray to maintain its balance, its eyes burning as it stared intently at its opponent's Sceptile.

"Shadow Clone Technique, Evil Wave!" Somoko launched the first attack.

Greninja summons shadow clones that form a circle around Sceptile, then unleashes Dark Pulse.

"Hardened plants!"

The Lizard King slammed its palms on the ground, summoning multiple vines that intertwined to form a hemispherical protective shell, blocking the evil energy from entering.

"Iai Slash!"

Greninja used the moment its hemisphere disintegrated to draw its Water Blade from its scepter and charged towards Sceptile.

"Knife leaf!"

The leaves on the Sceptile's forearm emitted a green light, blocking the Iai Slash, while its other hand sent Greninja flying more than ten meters.

Lin Xi exclaimed in amazement, "Shota's progress is incredible! He went from a newbie to the peak of the dojo in just a few months, it's unbelievable!"

"Water Shuriken!"

Greninja threw two water-like shurikens into the air. The shurikens flew rapidly towards Sceptile, who was unable to dodge in time and was hit.

Greninja presses its advantage, unleashing a powerful attack! Greninja draws its Water Blade again and charges at Sceptile.

"I originally intended to use this secret weapon again in the League," Shota said, pulling out a notebook and revealing the Keystone.

"Sceptile King, Mega Evolution!"

The Lizard King emitted a multicolored light, and its appearance changed within it.

After its evolution was complete, the Lizard King, which looked even more powerful and handsome than before, unleashed a magnificent aura.

Having forcefully blocked Greninja's attack, Shota calmly put away his notebook about Mega Evolution.

Chapter 265 Lin Xi's Physical Body Hammers Pokémon

Ma Xiu's lips twitched. "Is this really a newcomer?"

"I think so..." Lin Xi also felt this was too outrageous; even with normal training, she was only slightly stronger than him...

Shota stared at Tomoko. "Tomoko, let me see just how strong Greninja is!"

Looking at the Sceptile that had completed its Mega Evolution, Ash's eyes gleamed with even greater arrogance. He pulled his hat back, and then a chilling red light flashed in his eyes.

Lin Xi stood up. The call had come through!

Greninja, we must become stronger!

Then, Tomoko and Greninja's breathing gradually synchronized, their souls seemingly merging in the void.

The Greninja frog is surrounded by water, inside a tall column of water.

Ma Xiu and the others stared in astonishment at the enormous, billowing blue column of water, their gazes fixed intently on the girls fighting with increasing fervor in the battle zone.

"Greninja Frog, Iai Slash!"

Like a ghost, Greninja vanished from its spot in a flash, then reappeared before Sceptile, mercilessly slashing down.

Seemingly sensing the immense power of the Iaijutsu, the Lizard King slid back a few steps, its fighting spirit blazing forth in Shota's next words:

"Lizard King, use Leaf Blade!"

Suddenly, the two green leaves on the Lizard King's arms grew longer, and the faint green light they emitted confirmed the terrifying nature of this move!

The Greninja, surrounded by the water, remained motionless, seemingly unfazed by the attack, awaiting its master Tomoko's command. With a piercing sonic boom, Sceptile charged towards Greninja. Just then, Tomoko slowly spoke, "Shadow Clone."

A dazzling green light slashed straight through, and Greninja vanished. Then, on the battlefield, more than a dozen Greninja shadows suddenly appeared, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the illusory.

Even in this situation, Shota remained calm and shouted, "Use the Seed Machine Gun!"

The Lizard King took a deep breath, and dozens—no, hundreds—of emerald-green jets of light shot out, slamming into the dozens of shadows. When the shadows vanished, the Greninja had completely disappeared.

"Iaijutsu"

The moment Tomoko's voice fell, Greninja vanished from its spot like a ghost, and in a flash, it teleported behind Sceptile, slashing down hard at Sceptile's head.

Whoosh! A flash of white light appeared, and in an instant, Greninja dodged to the right of Sceptile. Before the audience could react, a massive explosion erupted beside Sceptile, completely engulfing its figure.

"Sceptile King is unable to battle, Greninja wins, so the winner is Tomoko!"

Greninja's consciousness grew increasingly hazy. In the dim light, he seemed to hear a "crack" sound, as if something had broken, but he was too weak to investigate further. He only felt a vast darkness approaching him, gradually enveloping him...

Suddenly, Greninja opened its eyes. Its originally pale pink eyes turned crimson, as bright as rubies, reflecting the crimson moon in the night sky.

However, the Greninja, enveloped by the water, did not stop its attack, raising its Water Blade to continue its assault!

"not good"

"Greninja, you're too strong! Calm down first!"

Lin Xi reacted first, instantly teleporting forward and punching Greninja in the abdomen, instantly rendering Greninja unable to battle.

Tomoko also lost her ability to fight.

Shota:?

Hammering Pokémon with one's own body?

Knocking out a Pokémon with a single punch—what kind of god-like ability is that?

He only knew that Lin Xi was very strong, but he didn't expect him to be just as strong.

He felt that... his Lizard King couldn't withstand a single punch from Lin Xi.

Lin Xi noticed that someone was watching them.

Lin Xi looked over and saw a man staring intently at Tomoko. He was especially surprised after Greninja underwent its Bond Phenomenon.

After the battle, everyone went to the Pokémon Center and then took Greninja and the shoes to Nurse Joy for treatment.

The next day, as Tensei was still half asleep, Tomoko suddenly heard a sound coming from the room next door.

When they arrived, they found that Team Rocket had captured Pikachu. By the time Lin Xi arrived, Team Rocket was already preparing to leave.

Lin Xi hadn't seen them for a while and thought they'd given up on Pikachu, but she didn't expect them to reappear here so quickly.

"Rockets, don't run!"

Tomoko jumped straight off the building, leaving Lin Xi stunned.

Is this what a true newbie looks like?!

Just then, an attack was about to hit Somo. As Lin Xi prepared to intervene, another attack struck, directly blocking Team Rocket's attack.

Charizard uses its dragon claws.

A Charizard flew overhead and saved Pikachu.

Pikachu turned around and unleashed a Thunderbolt, successfully hitting Team Rocket's hot air balloon.

The Rockets trio experienced the feeling of flying once again.

Lin Xi turned her gaze to Charizard and the other boy. Seeing the Mega Stone around Charizard's neck and the boy's appearance, she was certain of his identity: Alain.

That Charizard who lacks any sense of martial ethics!

To be fair, this Ailan is pretty strong.

"That's amazing, to be able to unleash a 100,000-volt attack in mid-air in that pose."

"This wouldn't have been possible without your Charizard's help. Thank you so much!"

Lin Xi walked up and asked, "Is this a Mega Stone for Charizard? Can it be used to battle my Charizard?"

Lin Du: ?

Alain was somewhat surprised to see a face even more handsome than his own, but he didn't refuse to fight. He knew his Charizard was invincible!

Emperor Dan:?

"Then let's have a Charizard battle! Charizard, here we come!" Alain said confidently.

After all, his Charizard is already a Champion-level beginner!
