Pokémon Heart Journey

Chapter 266: Round 2 Opponent

"It has been confirmed that your next venue is the Ice Venue. We will start matching your opponent now!" Miss Joy said in a gentle voice to Xiaozhi in front of her.

Looking at the photos that kept jumping on the screen, Xiaozhi and Pikachu stared at them with extremely serious expressions, and then a familiar girl's portrait appeared in front of them.

"Hey! Fenglu!"

"Pickup!"

Yes, Xiaozhi’s next opponent is Fenglu, whom he officially met at the opening ceremony.

"Ahaha, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to face Xiaozhi in the second round."

At this time, a familiar voice was heard from behind. When he turned around, he was met with a pair of fiery eyes, which showed the fighting spirit of a trainer.

"Xiaozhi, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

At this time, a figure flashed behind Feng Lu, and the other party waved to Xiaozhi naturally.

"Ah! Miss Kamizre, long time no see."

"Pickup!"

Kamizre tucked her long hair behind her ears.

"I just wanted to say hello on the opening day, but Fenglu dragged me around taking photos."

She raised her hand and lightly touched Pikachu's nose with her fingertips, "Little guy, your electric bag is still so energetic." Pikachu's cheeks crackled and a cluster of shy sparks appeared.

Xiaozhi scratched the back of his head, "I didn't expect even Miss Kamizile was here."

"Of course," Kamizrei blinked, "I'll definitely come to support Fenglu's match. But—"

She changed the subject, her eyes fell on Feng Lu, and with a little smirk, "If the opponent is you, I can consider taking sides."

"Hey! Kami, you sold me out like this," Feng Lu pretended to be sad, but the expression on her face was obviously fake.

"Who told you to steal my last piece of pudding last night?"

Kamizile raised his hand and scratched Fenglu's nose. The sound was as light as the morning breeze.

Fenglu covered her nose and uttered a "whoosh." She immediately put on a fighting expression and shook the wind speed meter on her wrist at Xiaozhi: "Did you hear that? Even the pudding is being bet on. I'm not going to hold back in this match today!"

Xiaozhi pushed the brim of his hat back: "We will do our best on this side too!"

Pikachu also echoed, waving his little paw: "Pika--!"

The two men's fists collided with each other in mid-air, and electric currents and air currents merged at their fingertips.

.........

"Hey! I didn't expect you, Xiaozhi, to face off against that Miss Fenglu."

Inside the restaurant, Sundae looked at Xiaozhi with some surprise as he was preparing food at an extremely fast speed.

After taking a sip of orange juice, Sundae continued, "Ms. Furulu will be the successor to the Fukiyose Gym in the future. I heard her strength has been recognized by the United Alliance. You'd better be careful."

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Xiaozhi nodded solemnly, "I have already decided which Pokémon to use. I will definitely win this battle."

"Speaking of which, who are your opponents?" Xiaozhi looked up at the three of them.

"My opponent is a man named Jimu. Judging from the existing information, he is undoubtedly a strong enemy," Yu Longyuan answered first.

Xiao Yang nodded in approval. He had no impression of this person when he first heard about him, but after seeing his Pokémon and appearance, Xiao Yang instantly realized that he was probably the one who had defeated Xiao Mao at the original Quartz Conference.

"The guy on my side is called Mu. From the information I know, his strength seems to be not as good as my opponent in the last game."

"Huh? What's wrong, Miss Sundae? Why are you looking at me like that?"

After Xiaoyang finished speaking, Shengdai looked at him in surprise, which made Xiaoyang feel a little confused.

"Oh! I was wondering why your opponent looked so familiar. It turned out to be him. I almost forgot about such a person," Yu Longyuan suddenly realized.

"Hmm? You know Xiao Yuan too?"

Looking at Xiaozhi who was full of curiosity, Yulongyuan stroked his forehead slightly, "Xiaozhi, you forgot, at Sundae School..."

"Ah, that Charizard!"

Looking at this completely incomprehensible conversation, Xiaoyang and Serena, as outsiders, looked at each other with confusion.

"Oh no! I forgot they were coming. Sorry, I have to go find the principal and the others first." Sundae stood up suddenly, waved to everyone and left.

Seeing this, the four of them didn't talk anymore. They quickly finished their meal and went back to prepare.

.........

The next day, the grass field

"The Quartz Conference 64-player qualifying tournament is now underway, with the final match on the Grass Field underway. The battle has reached a fever pitch. Mu, the green team contestant, now has only one Pokémon left, while his opponent, Xiaoyang from Viridian City, has defeated both of his Pokémon with just one Flamehorn. Does Mu still have a chance of a comeback?"

At this time, Mu on the field clenched the Poké Ball in his hand, looked at Xiaoyang who was calm and composed on the opposite side, then looked up at Sundae who was sitting next to Xiaozhi in the opposite audience, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth.

"Now there are only me and Sundae left in the whole academy. I absolutely cannot lose. Go, Charizard!"

Mu raised the Poké Ball above his head, and white light exploded above the grassland.

The Charizard flapped its wings, stirring up a heat wave. The tips of the green grass instantly curled and turned yellow. The Flame Horse shook its red mane, stepped on the fire with its four hooves, and walked step by step to the center of the field, like a moving sun.

"Game start!"

Mu said without hesitation: "Spray flame!"

The Charizard raised its head, and a column of orange-red flames swept across half the field, leaving a charred groove on the grass.

Xiao Yang slashed forward with his right hand: "Flame Vortex"

The flaming horse neighed, its mane exploded into a ring of fire, and a spiral column of fire shot up into the sky, colliding with the jet of flames in mid-air.

boom--!

The two flames devoured each other, and the fire waves rolled back.

Mu took advantage of the heat wave to immediately raise his altitude: "Charizard, fly to the maximum height, and then use Air Slash!"

The Charizard flapped its wings and soared up rapidly. Two crescent-shaped vacuum blades condensed at the edges of its wings and swooped down.

The vacuum blade cut through the heat wave, making a sharp whistling sound.

Xiao Yang narrowed his eyes: "Flame Horse, bounce!"

The flaming horse kicked its hind legs, and the grass under its feet was instantly ignited. The whole horse jumped up twenty meters like a rocket.

In mid-air, the flaming mane dragged out a long tail flame, and a "flame wheel" directly shattered the first air slash, and the remaining momentum continued as it headed towards the fire-breathing tornado.

The Charizard stopped abruptly and turned over, its tail flame drawing a "Z".

Mu's voice cut through the wind: "Dragon Claw!"

Charizard's right claw emitted a bluish-white dragon light and slashed fiercely at the flaming horse's flank.

Xiao Yang shouted, "Flame Horse, Flame Vortex!"

The flaming horse curled up in the air, its mane transformed into a wheel of fire that spun at high speed. Its dragon claws collided with the wheel of fire, sending sparks flying like rain.

Pulled by gravity, the two fire-type Pokémon fell to the ground at the same time.

But the difference is that Charizard fell to the ground slowly, while Infernape fell to the ground on its side.

"The flame horse has lost its ability to fight!"

Following the referee's decision, Mu breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his hands unconsciously.

It works!

"Thank you for your hard work, Flame Horse"

After taking back the Flame Horse, Xiao Yang looked up at Mu and Charizard opposite him and muttered, "Intermediate Quasi-King, is this the only level you can reach? I really don't know where you get the confidence to participate in such a conference."

Slowly taking out a Poké Ball, Xiao Yang's mouth corners slightly raised

"But it's time to end it. Go, Pidgeot!"
