Chapter 175: Hoenn League Caiyou Tournament, Preliminary (Flowers Scattered, Rain of Magic Leaves)

Chapter 175: Hoenn League Caiyou Tournament, Preliminary (Flowers Scattered, Rain of Magic Leaves)

For the Hoenn Alliance, lighting the sacred fire is a very important part, so the transportation of the sacred fire is also very important.

Zhe is also the torch runner of this year's Hoenn League Caiyou Conference. Now he has arrived at the Pokémon Center, obtained the torch and started the long-distance run to the venue of the Hoenn League Caiyou Conference.

At this moment, Heimer and Poison Rose were training for the preliminary round on a grassland near Caiyou City.

Chi Haimo: "Then, poisonous roses, petals falling in profusion!"

The poisonous rose spun and jumped up, and powerful grass-attribute power immediately gathered between the two bunches of roses. With a bang, the petals gathered together, like a powerful cannonball, blasted a big hole in the grassland.

Poison Rose: "Rogerie!!"

Chi Haimo: "Yeah! The falling petals just now were awesome!!"

At this time, a strong wind blew over the grassland, and the leeks slowly fell from the sky to the ground.

Shuttlecock grass: "Kune~"

When Heimer saw the grass, he touched his head with a smile and said gently.

Chi Haimo: "It's you."

Shuttlecock Grass: "Kune."

Chi Haimo: "By the way, Shuttlecock Grass, have you been following me all the time?"

Hearing Heimer's question, Jianzicao nodded slightly.

(Could it be that, Shuttlecock Grass, wants to travel with me...)

Chi Haimo: "Shuttlecock Grass, do you want to go with me?"

When Jianzicao heard this question, he just smiled happily at Heimer, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Seeing this, Heimer asked in confusion.

Chi Haimo: "Well, why have you been following me?"

Jianzicao pointed at the poison rose, and then at the empty Poké Ball on Heimer's waist.

After seeing this scene, Heimer finally understood what the shuttlecock grass meant.

Chi Haimo: "Do you want to fight against Poison Rose?"

Shuttlecock Grass: "Kune."

Jianzicao nodded slowly, apparently agreeing with what Heimer said.

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, do you want to fight?"

Poison Rose: "Rogerie."

Hearing Heimer's question, Poison Rose immediately revealed a very ferocious smile, and it seemed that she was saying to Heimer, of course.

Thus, the duel between Heimer, Poison Rose and Scolopendra subspinipes officially begins!!!

Shuttlecock grass: "Kune~"

It seems that Clover really wants to play with Hammer and the others, and in Clover's eyes, Pokémon battles seem to be just a fun game.

Chi Haimo: "Well, Shuttlecock Grass, let's get started."

Shuttlecock grass: "Kune~"

Jianzicao nodded, and it seemed that he was ready for the battle.

Chi Haimo: "Then, Poison Rose, Shadow Falling Flower!"

The poisonous rose jumped up swiftly, and its colorful pink petals poured down from the sky like heavy rain.

After using Falling Petals, the Poison Rose immediately changed its posture. The shadow balls quickly gathered in the middle of the roses, and then dispersed into a black light in an instant after being launched.

The black light devoured the colorful petals of the fallen flowers like a virus. The pink petals instantly turned black under the black light and quickly fell towards the clover.

Shuttlecock grass: "Kune~"

Faced with the combination of the Poison Rose Falling Petals and the Shadow Ball, the shuttlecock grass was not afraid. Instead, it happily floated in the wind.

After the shuttlecock flew into the air, it immediately used its acrobatic skills, its nimble posture, and its movements dancing in the wind, making all of the poison rose's attacks miss.

After seeing this scene, Heimer couldn't help but exclaimed.

Chi Haimo: "How amazing! You actually used acrobatic moves to dodge your opponent's attacks. Poison Rose, we have a good opponent now."

Poison Rose: "Rogerie!"

The poison rose nodded in agreement, and at this moment, the sunlight slowly gathered on its leaves at the call of the clover.

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, be careful, the Sunshine Flame of the Shuttlecock Grass is coming!!"

Poison Rose: "Rogerie!!"

(What a surprise! I didn't expect that the shuttlecock grass was so good at fighting.)

The leaves of the clover gradually brightened. Seeing this, Heimer immediately said to the poison rose.

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, avoid it for a while, and then use Magic Leaf immediately."

Hearing Heimer's instructions, Poison Rose nodded.

After the sunlight was fully charged, the shuttlecock grass was about to launch the sunlight flame, but unexpectedly, a strong wind suddenly blew on the grassland, and the shuttlecock grass was blown high into the sky. The sunlight collected on the leaves was immediately scattered after being blown high into the sky.

Chi Haimo: "Ah this."

Shuttlecock grass: "Kune~"

The shuttlecock grass smiled in the air and waved his little hand to Heimer, as if saying to Heimer, sorry, let's fight again next time.

Seeing this, Chi Haimo and Du Qiangwei also responded to Jianzicao's farewell with a smile.

In a few days, the preliminaries will begin...

At this moment, on the big screen of the Pokémon Center, the matching list has been released. After checking carefully, Heimer found that his opponent in the preliminary round was actually Archie! !

After seeing the result, Archie laughed and said to Hammer.

Archie: "Hahaha, a battle between boys in shorts? Hmm!! A duel of fate!! Hemmer!!"

Chi Haimo: "Ahahaha, tomorrow, let's have a battle without regrets, Aqi."

Archie: “Yeah!!”

Archie and Hammer's match was held in a small open-air venue numbered six.

In this preliminary round, all the battle venues are ordinary flat ground.

After a night's rest, Heimer and Archie came to the small open-air venue on the 6th, full of energy.

Amid the cheers and applause of the audience, Heimer and Archie slowly walked towards the trainers' positions on the battle field from both sides of the venue.

This scene seemed just like the first time Archie and Highmore fought each other. At that time, both of them were so inexperienced in Pokémon battles.

And when they meet again, they carry not only their own glory, but more importantly, all the efforts made by the Pokémon who have accompanied them along the way.

Therefore, both of them must go all out in this battle.

In addition, there is one thing in common between the Hoenn League's Colorful Contest and the Grand Prix, which is that the Pokémon used by the contestants in each battle must be registered first.

In this way, everyone chooses a partner they trust to play without knowing what Pokémon the other party will send out.

After Archie and Highmore took their positions in the trainer areas on both sides of the battle field, they took out their Poké Balls.

Chi Haimo: "Then, I'll leave it to you, Poison Rose."

Archie: "Pokémon Transform! Go! Swampert!"

After Archie changed into the doll costume of Swampert, he immediately threw out the Poké Ball of Swampert.

Heimer and Archie's Poké Balls were thrown onto the field at the same time. The white light dissipated, and Swampert and Poison Rose appeared on the battlefield, emitting their own strong auras.

Referee: "Then let's start the preliminary round between contestant Aqi and contestant Chi Haimo. The match begins!!"

Archie shouted as soon as the referee's flag was waved.

Archie: "Swampert, Earthquake!!"

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, jump up and use the Rain of Magic Leaves!"

Swampert instantly swung his thick arms, and the strong vibration attacked Poison Rose with the momentum of a landslide.

Faced with this powerful attack, Poison Rose quickly jumped up, and her soft body spun rapidly in mid-air, and magic leaves fell rapidly like a rain of swords.

Because it has the tracking function, the magic leaf quickly flew towards Swampert after shooting out from the rose.

Archie: "Swamp monster, muddy current!"

The turbid water immediately rose up at the call of Swampert, and in an instant, the magic leaves were all swallowed and crushed by the turbid current.

Swampert cleverly used his special move to neutralize the opponent's move, which drew warm applause from the audience.

Seeing Archie's changes now, Heimer was sincerely happy for him.

(Aqi has become so strong. It seems that he has successfully achieved the growth he wanted. So, next, he must go all out.)

Chi Haimo: "Poisonous roses, petals falling in profusion!"

The petals gathered into a torrent and quickly rushed towards the giant Swampert at the call of the poison rose.

The falling petals of the poisonous rose are like a flash flood, powerful and terrifying.

Archie knew that the Turbid Stream would not be able to stop the Falling Petals, so he immediately shouted to Swampert.

Archie: "Swampert, hold on!"

As soon as Archie finished speaking, the green shield was instantly deployed. Under the protection of the shield, the sea of ​​flowers swallowed up Swampert without causing him any harm.

However, at this moment, because of the large number of petals, although Swampert was not hurt, his vision was obscured.

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, now is the time to get close to Swampert and prepare to use Magic Flash!"

Poison Rose danced with light steps, and the fairy power gently wrapped around Poison Rose's body like armor.

At this moment, paired with the purple and black roses, the poisonous rose looks unique.

This handsome and elegant scene stunned the audience.

Archie: "Hahahaha, you are worthy of being the top four of the grand celebration. However, don't think that Swampert and I will be so easy to deal with. Swampert, hold on and use the Turbid Stream after dissipating, then rush directly into the Turbid Stream and use the power of the Turbid Stream to perform a ramming!"

As soon as Archie's instructions were given, in the pile of petals created by the falling petals, the dirty water flow wrapped around Swampert's body and quickly rushed into the air.

At this moment, Swampert looked down at the Poison Rose on the ground, which was emitting strong fairy power. A ferocious look immediately appeared on his face. Then, with the help of the force of the turbid current, he immediately launched a sudden attack from the sky on the Poison Rose on the ground.

Although the water in the Turbid Stream is very turbid, Swampert's eyesight is so good that it can see clearly even in very turbid water. Therefore, the Turbid Stream plus the Slam is undoubtedly a very suitable combo for Swampert.

However, as Teacher Adam said, everything has two sides.

Good eyesight also means...

Heimer saw the moment when Swampert was about to hit Poison Rose and immediately shouted to Poison Rose.

Chi Haimo: "Now, Poison Rose, release!!"

When Swampert was very close to her, the pink light on Poison Rose bloomed quickly, like a night-blooming cereus, so bright that it was blinding.

The magic shone under the power of the poisonous rose, emitting the most dazzling light.

Swampert's eyes were attacked directly by the magic flash at close range, and Swampert immediately stopped his charging posture and rolled on the ground in pain.

Archie: "Swampert!! Calm down!! Use your fins to capture the location of Poison Rose!"

After hearing Archie's voice, Swampert quickly endured the pain in his eyes, then immediately stood still, sensing the current position of Poison Rose.

(I see. After the Aquaskapper evolved into Swampert, the perception of its fins did become more sensitive. However, there are always two sides to a coin. If it becomes more sensitive, then if it uses a large-scale move, the perception of its fins will not work.)

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, petals falling in profusion, let the petals spread across the entire battlefield and approach Swampert!"

After hearing Heimer's instructions, Poison Rose waved the two bunches of roses vigorously, laughing wildly as she waved them.

The powerful sea of ​​flowers attacked again, and the movement trajectory of each petal was quickly captured by Swampert's fins.

However, there were too many targets captured, so Swampert was unable to accurately capture the position of Poison Rose.

Archie: "Swampert, use Hold!"

Because at this moment, flower petals were floating all over the battlefield, blocking everyone's vision. In desperation, Archie could only give instructions for Swampert to hold on first.

The green shield unfolded again, and the sea of ​​flowers was quickly blocked.

But at this time, under the cover of its petals, Poison Rose had successfully run behind Swampert.

When all the petals fell, Archie saw the poison rose behind Swampert and instantly became panicked.

Archie: "Swampert!! Behind us!! Use Earthquake!"

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, block Swampert's moves!"

Swampert was about to pound his arm to the ground again, but Poison Rose immediately jumped up and kicked Swampert's chin fiercely with a fierce look on his face.

After Swampert's chin was kicked by Poison Rose, his whole body fell backwards, and Earthquake failed to be used.

Poison Rose's unexpected physical skills drew thunderous applause from the audience, and Archie was also very surprised.

Heimer took advantage of the victory and when Swampert was kicked to the ground by Poison Rose, he immediately shouted to Poison Rose.

Chi Haimo: "Poison rose, now is the time, petals are falling!"

Poison Rose jumped up quickly by stepping on Swampert's belly. With her neat posture and agile movements, if it were a gorgeous competition, she could probably get a lot of points at this moment.

At this moment, above Swampert, in the center of the purple roses and black roses, pink flower cannonballs were instantly ejected, and Swampert was hit directly in the face by the colorful petals that gathered from the falling flowers.

After the poisonous rose fell to the ground, the petals slowly dispersed, and Swampert's figure appeared in front of everyone again. The referee took a look at Swampert and immediately announced the result of the game.

Referee: "Swampert has lost his ability to fight, Poison Rose wins! So the winner is Chi Haimo!!"

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, we won!!"

Poison Rose: "Rogerie!!"

After hearing the result of the competition, Poison Rose happily jumped into Heimer's arms. Heimer even smiled and started spinning around in circles while holding Poison Rose.

Chi Haimo: "You are awesome, Poison Rose."

Poison Rose: "Rogerie~"

Hearing what Heimer said, Poison Rose proudly patted her chest with the rose, as if saying to Heimer, you are worthy of being me.

After hearing the result of the game, Archie lowered his head and was silent for a while, then took back Swampert and spoke gently to Swampert's Poké Ball.

Archie: "Thank you, Swampert. You have tried very hard."

After Heimer put the poison rose back into the Pokémon Ball, Archie walked towards Heimer with a smile and spoke slowly.

Archie: "You're worthy of being a shorts boy like me, Hammer. Well, congratulations on your victory!"

Chi Haimo: "Well, thank you Aqi, Swampert, it's really strong."

Archie: "Well, thank you, thank you..."

Heimer obviously noticed that something was wrong with Archie, so he patted Archie's shoulder gently and spoke to him softly.

Chi Haimo: "You are great too, Aqi."

Archie: "Thank you, Heimer, um, Heimer..."

When Archie heard this, he couldn't help but hugged Heimer and started crying.

Archie: "Well... I really don't want to accept this... But..."

Chi Haimo: "I understand, I understand..."

On the street, Archie choked up and spoke to Hammer.

Archie: "Yeah, but, if you lose, you lose... Yeah, but, I really don't want to accept it..."

Chi Haimo: "I understand...I understand..."

Archie put his head on Heimer's shoulder and cried for a long time, until his stomach growled. Then he slowly stopped crying and went to the contestants' cafeteria with Heimer.

After a hearty meal, Archie didn't seem so sad anymore. He spoke to Heimer embarrassedly.

Archie: "Oh, I'm so sorry, Hammer..."

Chi Haimo: "It's okay... If it were me, I would probably cry even harder than you. Well, then, I might also ask you to lend me a shoulder, hahaha."

Archie: "Hahaha, if you need it, I'll lend it to you anytime. We're just boys in shorts, so don't be polite. Well, Hammer, come on, let's do our part too."

Chi Haimo: "Yes, definitely!"

In this way, Heimer successfully defeated Archie and became one of the 256 people who could participate in the preliminary tournament of the official competition later.
