Chapter 625 Ah Xun's Dojo Assessment!
"Sounds great, Ash. You got the badge before me."
Ah Xun stepped forward, deliberately showing a defiant look, but the smile in her eyes was hard to hide.
Ash paused for a moment, then turned to look at Ash:
"Hey! Ah-Xun, when did you get here? I didn't see you anywhere!"
"........."
Ah Xun's expression froze, and she complained, "I've been cheering you on for ages, what do you say? Didn't you hear me at all?"
You can ignore someone as handsome and charismatic as him? Xiao Zhi, you're hopeless.
Ash scratched his head. "Um... I was so focused on the battle that I didn't notice my surroundings..."
Ash didn't want to talk to Ash anymore, so he turned to Fu Ye and his expression became serious.
"Uncle Fu, I'm Xun from Twinleaf Town in Sinnoh. Please come with me for a gym battle!"
Xiao Guang stepped forward as well: "Me too! I'm Xiao Guang, nice to meet you."
"Fine, you guys go first."
Xiaoyun waved her hand.
You are conducting the dojo assessment, while he is assessing the dojo. These things cannot be rushed.
The main character always appears last, right?
"Haha, it's really lively today. I haven't seen so many young people in a long time."
Grandpa Fu, leaning on his cane, said with a smile, "But young man, I've already participated in two dojo matches in a row. If you don't mind, how about my apprentice Hill fights for me?"
The boy who had led the way stepped forward, his previously gentle smile now sharper. He nodded slightly to Ah Xun, his voice clear and bright:
"Please give me more advice."
"It's alright, Uncle Fu, I think I can wait."
Ah Xun frowned.
He came to the dojo to challenge the master; he felt that fighting the apprentices wasn't enough.
"You're too scared? I'll beat you to a pulp in no time!"
Upon hearing this, the apprentice instantly shattered his polite facade, his tone becoming unusually provocative.
He was just short of gesturing to Ah Xun and saying something.
Come here!
"Oh my, with my fiery temper, you're the one!"
Ah Xun is most intolerant of provocation, and immediately bristles and chooses to fight back.
Young man, today I'll teach you what society is all about!
The arena of the Twin Wings Dojo was bathed in the afternoon sun. Grandpa Fu, leaning on his cane, sat in the spectator stands, his gaze sweeping over Hill in the arena, and slowly began to speak:
"Today you will be guarding the hall for me. Beyond victory or defeat, you must also demonstrate your fighting spirit. Do not underestimate your opponent, and do not lose your composure."
"Yes, Master!"
Upon hearing this, Hill gripped the Poké Ball tighter, her eyes becoming focused.
Ah Xun smiled confidently and gestured with his chin toward Master Fu: "Don't worry, Master Fu, I won't hold back!"
The referee raised his flag and announced:
"The Twins Gym Battle begins! The rules are 3v3, and only the challenger can change their Pokémon. Let's begin!"
"Defend the honor of the Twins Dojo, Rose of Poison!"
Hill threw the Poké Ball first.
boom!
A vibrant green poisonous rose landed on the ground, its flower-like arms trembling slightly, shimmering with a faint purple light, resembling a thorny rose.
"Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp, teach this guy a lesson!"
Ashun also threw out a Poké Ball, and a large, blue lobster appeared on the field.
It was the same one he had caught with great difficulty while fishing in Azure Bay.
"Catching grass in a water system? That might be a bit difficult."
Xiao Guang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
This doesn't look like a team that can win.
Xiaoyun shrugged: "Maybe Axun wants to challenge himself."
It seems that the blond-haired guy also dreams of becoming a master of reverse attributes.
"We'll attack first! Poison Rose, use your poisonous thorns!"
Hill shouted.
With a flick of its petals, the poisonous rose's arms, bound into a bud shape, suddenly extended purple blades of light, piercing straight at the iron-armed pistol shrimp like poisoned daggers.
Ah Xun's lips curled into a smile, as if possessed by the Dragon King:
"Avoid the water jet, then use Water Pulse!"
The iron-armed pistol shrimp splashed water all around its body, and the pale blue water flowed around its body as it shot forward.
The poisonous thorns of the poisonous rose barely grazed its body, hitting nothing at all.
Before the poisonous rose could turn around, the iron-armed pistol shrimp had already raised its claws and aimed them at it.
puff--!
A swirling eddy of water struck the poisonous rose, causing it to stagger back two steps.
"Ripples of water, let's do it again!"
"Poison Rose, hold on, use the vine whip!"
Poison Rose shook her dizzy head, and two emerald green vines shot out from her petals, precisely wrapping around the surrounding tree trunks.
And so, it swung back and forth on the swing using the pull of the vine whip, and the water balls that followed the Iron-Armed Shrimp all crashed onto the open ground around it.
"Iron-armed Pistol Shrimp, continuous water ripples!"
Ah Xun pressed his advantage.
Ah Xun's Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp is also quite powerful; it raises its right claw and continuously releases water balls into the air.
Bang bang bang!
The quantity strategy was also effective; under the continuous attacks of the Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp, the Poison Rose was still shot down.
"Hehehe, Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp, deliver the final blow with a water jet!"
Ah Xun laughed without restraint.
The water on the Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp rose again, and its body shot towards the Poison Rose like a rocket!
Just as the Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp was about to arrive, Hill, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly smiled and shouted to Poison Rose:
"You've been tricked, Poison Rose! Use your vine whip to grab the Iron-Armed Shrimp!"
The next second, the two vines stretched out straight, like two green lightning bolts wrapping around the right claw of the iron-armed pistol shrimp.
Ah Xun's smile froze instantly, but Hill didn't stop: "Then comes the parasitic seed!"
As the poisonous rose petals were scattered, a few green seeds landed on the iron-armed pistol shrimp along the vine.
Then the vines quickly wrapped around his body and began to draw his strength.
Ah Xun panicked a little: "Iron Arm Shrimp, break free quickly!"
The iron-armed pistol shrimp struggled to swing its pincers, but the vines tightened around it, and its strength gradually diminished as the parasitic seeds consumed its energy.
"Just use slamming!"
Poison Rose yanked her vine whip backward, striking the Iron-Armed Shrimp hard!
boom!
With this attack, the Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp was immediately rendered unable to fight.
Ah Xun reluctantly recalled the Poké Ball: "Thanks for your hard work, Iron-Arm Shrimp."
"Ah Xun was careless; he shouldn't have gone over there just now." Sanping scratched his head.
He's clearly quite capable, but he just loves to act recklessly.
Xiaoyun glanced at the frustrated Ah Xun in the arena, thinking that if Shinji were here, he would probably frown and say something.
Hmph, idiot.
It's almost there.
Ash put the Poké Ball back in his pocket, then pulled out a new one and tossed his arm back.
"It's your turn, Skarmory!"
The steel-gray armored bird spread its wings, its metallic feathers gleaming coldly!
Skarmory, a Steel/Flying type, is immune to poison and has great resistance to Grass-type attacks, making it a tough opponent.
Hill frowned, stared at the Skarmory for two seconds, and gave the order: "Poison Rose, use Magic Leaf first!"
The poisonous rose raised its bouquet, and countless fluorescent fallen leaves gathered together, shooting straight at the armored bird.
But the armored bird didn't move at all; it simply raised its wings to block its body.
Bang bang bang!
The magic leaves collided with the steel wings and were all bounced away!
"This kind of recklessness will never happen again..." Ah Xun thought to himself, raising his hand to point at the poisonous rose and giving the order:
"Armored Bird, use Steel Wings!"
The armored bird's wings instantly flashed with a dazzling silver light as it swooped down like two sharp swords cleaving downwards!
Poison Rose quickly lashed out her vines to entangle the nearby tree trunk, using the pull to jump to the side.
But the armored bird made a sharp turn in the air, its steel wings sweeping across the vine whip.
Snap! The vine whip broke in two!
The poisonous rose, having lost its foothold, fell to the ground.
Seeing the Skarmory closing in, Hill immediately shouted urgently, "Use Leech Seed!"
The poisonous rose struggled to lift its bouquet, and just as it was about to scatter the green seeds, Ah Xun's voice cut in:
"Air Blade!"
Having already learned his lesson, he naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistake.
The armored bird swayed, then three sharp wind blades shot out from its wings, precisely slicing through the seeds and revealing the Poison Rose!
"The final blow, Steel Wing!"
As the Skarmory's final steel wing strike landed, Roselia lost consciousness on the spot.
"Poison Rose, you have done very well."
Hill recalled Roserade, offered words of encouragement, and then switched to another Pokémon.
"Go, tropical dragon!"
The green figure landed, and the tropical dragon spread its broad banana-wings, its own solar energy causing the surrounding temperature to rise slightly!
"Kusaka, a Flying-type?"
Ah Xun stroked his chin and immediately gave the command: "Skeleton, keep your distance, use Air Blade!"
"helmet!"
The armored bird flapped its wings rapidly, sending several silver wind blades straight towards the tropical dragon!
"Use the blades!"
The tropical dragon used its banana leaf wings to block the wind blades, leaving only a few shallow scratches on the leaves.
"Tropical Dragon! Prepare for Solar Flare!"
After blocking the attack, Hill continued to give orders.
The tropical dragon tilted its head back towards the sun, its mouth slightly open, and a golden energy ball slowly grew larger inside.
"You think you can charge up your power right in front of me? Who do you think I am?"
Ah Xun sneered and arrogantly shouted, "Skaven, use Brave Bird! Get closer!"
"helmet!"
The armored bird suddenly soared into the sky, its body instantly enveloped in pale blue flames, and charged straight at the tropical dragon like a giant blue eagle.
Ah Xun revealed a confident smile.
One move and I'll take you down!
But before his smile could even appear, Hill abruptly swung his arm down: "Solarfire, fire!"
"Nani⊙w⊙!"
Ah Xun was somewhat surprised.
How could it be so fast! He ejaculated in just a few seconds?
Before he could finish his surprise, a beam of blazing white energy shot out from the tropical dragon's mouth and crashed head-on into the charging armored bird!
Boom boom!
The blue flames and the white beam of light collided, and the resulting shockwave sent the surrounding fallen leaves flying.
The armored bird was immediately driven back.
However, thanks to Brave Bird's energy flames, Skarmory wasn't seriously damaged by this attack.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this tropical dragon's defining characteristic is chlorophyll."
Xiaoyun said, arms crossed.
It can achieve almost instantaneous activation of Solar Flare, and that's about its only characteristic.
Ah Xun in the arena also realized what was happening and frowned.
No wonder the sun was blazing as soon as I arrived; it was waiting for me here.
Good lad, you're pretty cunning!
"Skeleton, let's not hold back, use Metal Sound!"
"helmet!"
The armored bird immediately spread its wings, the two steel wings rubbing against each other, making a piercing sound.
Noisy!
The ear-piercing sound spread instantly, like a piece of iron scraping against an iron plate.
It's really tangy and refreshing.
Xiao Guang and Serena, who were watching from the sidelines, felt goosebumps.
Yulijia even took out a cotton earmuff from her bag and put it on.
The tropical dragon indeed showed a pained expression, and the blazing sunlight in its mouth spread out, clearly distressed by the sound waves.
"Use Brave Bird's Fury Now!"
Ah Xun seized the opportunity and launched a quick attack.
The armored bird folded its wings, its body enveloped in eerie blue flames once more, and charged at the tropical dragon once more.
"Trying to attack again? Tropical Dragon, Solar Flare!"
Hill replied quickly.
Upon hearing the trainer's command, Tropius could only endure the ear-piercing sound waves and tilt its head back to gather its strength once more.
With the help of chlorophyll, the energy was quickly condensed again and shot towards the armored bird with a bang!
Whoosh!
Because the metallic sound was weakened, the intense sunlight gathered very hastily this time.
As the smoke cleared, Skarmory, with its Steel-type resistance, managed to stand firm, while Tropius's wings drooped limply.
"The final blow, a wing attack!"
The armored bird's wings lit up again, and it slammed down heavily on the tropical dragon, knocking it to the ground.
Double kill!
An apprentice is an apprentice; they still need to practice.
Ah Xun raised an eyebrow at Hill, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Damn it, I've been looked down upon.
Hill clenched her fist and looked at the last Poké Ball in her hand: "It's all up to you now."
"Come out, you cunning tengu!"
Shear's last Pokémon was a Pokémon that resembled a tengu.
Its body is dark brown, and its white mane is like a tangled mess covering half of its face, revealing only its pointed nose and eyes.
Its ears were long and pointed, hanging down on either side of its head; its hands were three large green leaves; and it wore high wooden clogs, giving it a fierce appearance.
"Cunning Stranglethorn, Tropius, Roselia. Why are they all Hoenn Pokémon?"
Looking at this lineup, Xiaoyun thought, "This apprentice must be a trainer who has traveled to Hoenn."
"Has it finally come to the ace?"
Ah Xun clenched his fist, his earlier disdain lessened, replaced by a more serious expression.
"Skarmory, attack first, use Air Blade!"
The armored bird flapped its wings, unleashing countless wind blades once more, but the cunning tengu swayed and successfully dodged them with incredible speed.
Hill finally revealed a clear smile and waved his arm forward: "Cunning Tengu, use Storm!"
Whoohoo!
The cunning tengu flapped its leaf-like arms, unleashing a powerful gust of wind!
The fallen leaves on the sidelines were swirled up and flew up, forming a small green whirlwind.
The whirlwind collided with the incoming wind blades, instantly shattering them all and even pushing them towards the armored bird.
"Wow, you're pretty strong."
Ah Xun raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with excitement: "Skaven, give us another metallic sound!"
Noisy!
The armored bird rubbed its wings together again, producing an even louder, more piercing sound than before.
Before the sound waves could even dissipate, Hill shouted, "Leaf Blade!"
The cunning tengu leaped back and forth in its wooden clogs, its fan-like arms glowing with green light as it slashed at the armored bird like blades!
In its haste, the armored bird could only raise its wings to defend itself, but it was still slashed by the blades, leaving a deep gash.
They actually ignored sound waves?
Ah Xun squinted and noticed that the cunning tengu's long ears were blocked by its mane and green leaf hands, so the sound waves didn't get through at all!
"Use the brave birds to launch a fierce attack and decide the outcome!"
The armored bird changed its form, rapidly ascended into the air, and once again enveloped its body in blue flames, swooping straight down towards the cunning tengu.
On the other side, the cunning tengu used a tree trunk to leap to an angle level with the armored bird, and then...
"An eye for an eye!"
