Chapter 165: Large-scale celebration, 16 to 8 (better to die in glory than live in disgrace)

Chapter 165: Large-scale celebration, 16 to 8 (better to die in glory than live in disgrace)

Early in the morning, Heimer sat on the bed with a worried look on his face, thinking about how to deal with Xianglan.

Before, I had heard Xianglan say that Venusaur evolved from Bulbasaur, which she captured shortly after coming to the Hoenn region.

Therefore, in terms of strength, the strongest Pokémon that Xianglan can currently use in large-scale celebrations is probably her first Pokémon, the Charizard that evolved from Charmander.

The last time the Lizard King fought Charizard, if it weren't for the time limit of the gorgeous competition and the fact that Xianglan was only focused on defeating her opponent and didn't care about the points being deducted, I'm afraid the Lizard King would have lost to Charizard's flames in that fight.

And this time, it looks like another bloody battle...

On the day when the grand celebration of 16 to 8 officially began, the audience's response was still as enthusiastic as before.

Vivian was on the main stage, holding the microphone, smiling and shouting to the audience.

Vivian: "The second round of the second review of the Pokémon Grand Festival, the 16 to 8 match, has officially begun!!"

Because of Vivian's hosting, there was continuous applause and cheers from the audience.

In addition, according to the order of the list announced yesterday, the duel between Heimer and Xianglan is the first match of the second round. Backstage, Xianglan said to Heimer with a smile.

Xianglan: "Heimer, I will not lose to you this time."

Hearing Xianglan's words, Heimer replied firmly.

Chi Haimo: "Sorry, Miss Xianglan, I will definitely win this time too."

Xianglan: "Then, let's do our best and leave no regrets."

Chi Haimo: "Well, go all out and leave no regrets."

The two's determination to win was extremely strong until they were about to go on stage.

After Heimer and Xianglan stood on both sides of the stage trainer position, Vivian shouted happily.

Vivian: "Well, the first match of the second round of the second review of the Pokémon Grand Contest, Chi Haimo vs. Xianglan, is about to begin. Both parties please take out your Pokémon."

Xianglan: "Win gracefully, Charizard, Bulbasaur."

Xianglan's Pokémon balls collided with each other in the air, a white light flashed, and Charizard emitting strong heat and Bulbasaur appeared on the stage domineeringly.

Chi Haimo: "I believe in you, please, Tianran Bird, Lizard King!"

Heimer threw out two Poké Balls at the same time, the white light dissipated, and the Natural Bird spread its wings and flew neatly from the sky to the stage, then stared at Charizard and Bulbasaur.

The Lizard King jumped out of the Poké Ball handsomely, flipped several times in the air, and landed nimbly on the stage.

Vivian: "Well, five-minute countdown begins!"

Pandan: "Let's fight it out, Venusaur, Crazy Plant!"

Bulbasaur kicked its feet, and thick tree roots quickly rose from the ground, so dense that they could be compared to a forest.

Under the control of Venusaur, the thick tree roots were like a giant rain of gunfire, stabbing directly towards the Tenma and the Lizard King.

Faced with this powerful attack, Heimer decided to use the tactics he had prepared before, that is, to hide!

(No matter how powerful the attack is, it is meaningless if it misses.)

Chi Haimo: "Natural Bird, Mental Interference, Lizard King, use Sword Dance!"

The natural bird gathered extremely powerful mental power, and in an instant, a strong blue light immediately spread throughout the entire battlefield.

At this moment, the roots of the crazy plants all stopped in mid-air due to the control of mental interference! !

Not only that, Venusaur and Charizard were also suppressed by the mental interference and could only stand still, unable to move!!!

The blue light emitted by the powerful mental interference not only temporarily suppressed the crazy plant, but also controlled the opponent and showed the luster of its own feathers. This powerful skill caused Xianglan to lose some points.

The Lizard King took this opportunity to summon several blue lights in the shape of small swords. As the Lizard King danced skillfully, those small lightsabers turned into light spots and merged into his body. His attack power also increased significantly at this moment.

Xianglan: "This really surprises me. I never thought that your natural bird's mental interference would be so strong."

Chi Haimo: "Hahaha, thank you for the compliment."

(Well, before, when encountering the color-crazy Wuming, Tianran Bird was oppressed by Wuming's mental interference, and unexpectedly stimulated a more powerful super-powered power, so that it can use more powerful mental interference. However, this kind of powerful mental interference, Tianran Bird can't hold on for long, well, it must hurry!!!)

Chi Haimo: "Natural Bird, hold on, Lizard King, use Sword Dance again!"

Xianglan: "I see, Charizard, Heatwind!"

The Lizard King used the Sword Dance once again, and the Charizard opened its mouth at this moment, and the scorching flames quickly gathered in the mouth of the Charizard. In a moment, a scorching strong wind came from the mouth of the Charizard towards the Lizard King and the Natural Bird.

(Oops, since the natural bird is still using mental interference, it can't find time to block the heat wind, and the sword-shaped light beside the Lizard King has not yet merged into his body. Hmm... It seems that this is the only way.)

Chi Haimo: "Natural Bird, when the hot wind is about to hit you, remove the mental interference, and then use the defense!"

Hearing Heimer's instructions, Tianranniao stared at the hot wind in front of him, like a knight who would never retreat when facing a strong enemy.

Just when this high-temperature strong wind was about to hit himself and the Lizard King, the natural bird immediately spread its wings. After the mental interference was eliminated, the green shield was immediately deployed. The hot wind hit the shield and dissipated instantly. Xianglan's score was deducted again.

Without a moment's rest, the crazy plant immediately stabbed the natural bird and the lizard king while resuming action after the mental interference dissipated.

At this moment, because the Lizard King's sword dance was not yet ready, Heimer could only shout to the Natural Bird.

Chi Haimo: "Natural Bird, teleport!!"

Although Tianran Bird collapsed to the ground with stars in his eyes due to the extremely powerful mental interference, after hearing Heimer's voice, Tianran Bird ignored the dizziness in his brain, flapped his wings fiercely, and forced himself to use the skill of instant movement.

However, in the blink of an eye, the Lizard King was instantly moved by Tenchi to the back of Charizard and Venusaur, and the Crazy Plants disappeared after missing their attacks. Venusaur was also in a state of being unable to attack or move at this moment.

Because Tianran Bird successfully used teleportation to take the Lizard King to avoid the attack of the crazy plants, Xianglan's points were deducted again.

In addition, the Lizard King also completed his second sword dance at this time.

Chi Haimo: "Great!!"

Xianglan: "How naive! Do you think you can defeat me with just two sword dances? Fire-breathing dragon, explosive flames!"

Hearing Xianglan's instructions, the temperature on the stage rose sharply due to the gathering of fire power in Charizard's mouth. The exploding flames turned into a sea of ​​fire in Charizard's mouth and rushed towards the Lizard King and the Natural Bird.

The natural bird had consumed too much energy and fell to the ground weakly. Seeing this, the Lizard King instinctively stood in front of the natural bird.

Although the original plan agreed upon with Heimer was to launch a counterattack after three sword dances, it now seems that we won't be able to wait until the third sword dance is completed.

Chi Haimo: "In that case, Lizard King, double strike!"

After two sword dances, the purple serrated blades on the Lizard King's arms looked much sharper.

He originally thought that he could successfully resist, but who knew that the Lizard King was blown away by the explosion caused by the exploding flames as soon as he swung for the first time, and Heimer was deducted some points because of this.

Chi Haimo: "Lizard King!!!"

(How could it be... After two sword dances, the attack power should have increased a lot.)

Seeing Heimer's very confused expression, Xianglan said with a smile.

Xianglan: "Do you think you are the only one in the world who has grown, Hammer? Since the last battle, I have done more training with Charizard. Now the power of the exploding flames cannot be blocked by your mere two consecutive slashes, even with the blessing of two sword dances."

Chi Haimo: "Yeah...very strong..."

Seeing the Lizard King being repelled, Natural Bird ignored the burden on his body and did not follow Heimer's instructions. He immediately rushed forward and used the defense. The green shield was deployed again and successfully took the explosion of flames.

After the explosion flames dissipated, Charizard became unable to move or attack, and Xianglan was deducted some points.

Now was a very good time to attack, but... Tianran Bird was dizzy due to excessive mental interference.

The Lizard King was injured by the explosion and was in great pain from the wound.

Seeing this scene, Xianglan said with a smile.

Xianglan: "It seems that the victory of today's battle belongs to me."

Hearing this, before Heimer could say anything, the Natural Bird and the Lizard King stood up suddenly, like two warriors who would never fall.

(Natural Bird... Lizard King...)

Seeing this scene, Heimer immediately answered firmly.

Chi Haimo: "Xianglan, it's a pity, we must win this battle today!!"

Xianglan: "Is that so? If so, then let me see it for myself! Venusaur, the crazy plant!"

The power of nature gathered again, and thick tree roots burst out from the ground. Facing this powerful attack, Heimer immediately shouted.

Chi Haimo: "Natural Bird, Mind Interference! Lizard King, Sword Dance!"

The Lizard King ignored the pain of the explosion and started the sword dance again. The Natural Bird gathered the power of superpowers and wanted to launch a large-scale mental interference again, but he was in a splitting headache and could not overdraw his body again. Seeing this, Heimer shouted in a hurry.

Chi Haimo: "In that case, Natural Bird, concentrate all your existing strength on one point and unfold it into a shield!"

Following Heimer's instructions, the natural bird used all the strength it could currently exert and condensed it into a blue ball of light.

When the crazy plants were about to hit the natural bird and the lizard king, the natural bird suddenly spread its wings, and the mental power of mental interference turned into a thin shield, successfully resisting the crazy plants for a few seconds.

Then, the shield was shattered by the tree roots, and the Natural Bird was directly hit by the crazy plants and lost its ability to fight. Even so, when he fell to the ground, the Natural Bird still had his eyes open and showed no intention of giving up. If it weren't for the collapse of his body, he would probably continue to fight.

Chi Haimo: "Natural bird!!!"

Upon seeing this, the judge immediately pressed the battle off button.

Vivian: "Natural bird, fight off!"

After Heimer took back the natural bird, he realized that the battle was still going on.

At this moment, Venusaur was unable to move or attack due to the side effects of the Crazy Plant, while Charizard had recovered from the state of being unable to move or attack.

Xianglan: "The situation is now very clear! Heimer, Charizard, Exploding Flame!"

The flamethrower was raised, and the horrifically high temperature explosion flames attacked again. This time, the temperature was so high that the audience began to sweat crazily.

At this moment, the Lizard King had just completed his third sword dance. He jumped to the left swiftly, and the Explosive Flame missed the target. Xianglan was deducted some points, but Charizard actually overdrew his body and tried his best to maintain the output of the Explosive Flame.

Xianglan saw this scene and said to Heimer with a smile.

Xianglan: "Struggle a little longer, Hammer, Charizard, don't stop until you hit him!!"

The impact of the exploding flames chased the Lizard King like a soul-chasing talisman. Heimer shouted immediately upon seeing this.

Chi Haimo: "Lizard King, lightning flash!!"

Hearing Heimer's voice, a white light immediately appeared under the Lizard King's feet. He ran quickly on the stage with a whoosh, and the exploding flames kept chasing him from behind, with no sign of weakening.

At this time, the Lizard King suddenly looked at Heimer and secretly pointed at the motionless Venusaur. After seeing this, Heimer chuckled and nodded, then pretended to speak to Xianglan in a somewhat frivolous manner.

Chi Haimo: "It seems that you can't win this game, Xianglan, because... you only have this much strength."

Seeing Heimer's expression, Xianglan's temper suddenly flared up, and she shouted at Charizard angrily.

Xianglan: "Charizard, keep up the explosive flames until you hit the Lizard King. I want to see how you can turn the tables this time!!"

The flame on the Charizard's tail became a little bigger at this time, and the power and speed of the exploding flames also increased a lot at this moment.

Seeing this, the Lizard King jumped lightly with a flash of lightning, and jumped directly behind Venusaur. The explosion of Charizard was too fast and could not be stopped at all, so it directly hit Venusaur, and Venusaur could not fight on the spot!!!

Upon seeing this, the judges immediately declared the fight off.

Vivian: "Bulbasaur is off for the fight!!"

Seeing that she seemed to have been tricked by Helmer, Xianglan's veins bulged on her head. While retracting Bulbasaur, she spoke to Charizard.

Xianglan: "Charizard!!! Keep up the explosive flames!!! Kill him!!!"

Hearing Xianglan's instructions, Charizard used all its strength. At this moment, the entire stage was about to be covered by the light of the explosion flames, and the Lizard King seemed to have no way out.

However, facing such scorching flames, the Lizard King was not afraid. Instead, he proudly made a thumbs-up gesture to Heimer.

After seeing this, Heimer smiled confidently and said.

Chi Haimo: "Yeah, yeah, we'll definitely be fine!!! Lizard King, use double slash!!!"

The Lizard King waved his arms, and the purple sawtooth blades of light instantly unfolded. The Lizard King waved his body, and two purple meteors instantly streaked across the flames of the explosion. The flames immediately dissipated, and the Charizard fell into a state where it could not move or attack!!!

At this point, most of Xianglan's score has been deducted.

Xianglan: "What!!! Charizard!!! Fly up!!!"

Xianglan's instructions were appropriate, but Charizard was unable to carry them out.

Chi Haimo: "I'm going to kill the Lizard King and use the last two consecutive slashes!!!"

The bonus of three sword dances made the Lizard King's arms extremely powerful. For some reason, he was like a superhero in a comic book and didn't even care about the wounds on his arms.

After hearing Heimer's instructions, the Lizard King quickly jumped up, spun in the air and performed two consecutive attacks. With two bangs, the Charizard fell to the ground instantly.

Vivian: "Charizard, battle off!!! So, Chi Haimo wins!!!"

After the Lizard King finished the battle, he began to notice the pain from the wounds on his body caused by the explosion.

After hearing the word "victory", Heimer could no longer control his emotions. He rushed towards the Lizard King and said with a smile and tears in his eyes.

Chi Haimo: "Great!! Great!! Lizard King!! Natural Bird!! We won!! We won!!"

When the Lizard King's wound was touched by Heimer, he almost cried out in pain. However, after seeing Heimer's rare smile, he silently endured the pain and made a thumbs-up gesture to him.

Just like that, with the strong perseverance of the Lizard King and the Natural Bird, Heimer successfully defeated Xianglan and advanced to the top eight of the large-scale celebration.
