Pokémon Heart Journey

Chapter 273: Battle on the Grass Field (1)

"The first match at the Grass Field will pit Satoshi from Pallet Town against Akane from Crimson City! Both trainers are favorites for this tournament! What kind of showdown will this bring us? Let's wait and see!!"

Xiaozhi's competition has officially begun, and the broadcast begins to introduce the trainers of both sides.

In the audience, since Yulongyuan was about to compete in another division, Xiaoyang went over to support them. Now, in addition to Serena and Sundae, Kamizlei and Fenglu also came to watch.

What they didn't know was that there were two people sitting across from them who had come specifically to watch Xiaozhi's fight.

"Is this the trainer you're eyeing?" A fat man wearing sunglasses and with a kind face looked at the purple-haired girl next to him.

"Yes! Yes, Mr. Yashida."

Lila's eyes remained fixed on Ash on the field, "Ash's bond with Pokémon is even stronger than mine. He's a very powerful trainer."

"Oh! The evaluation is so high? Then I will have to wait and see." Yashida gently pushed his sunglasses and began to look forward to the upcoming battle.

"Quartz Conference Grass Field, the top 32 qualifying round. Three Pokémon can be used. The match ends when all Pokémon on one side lose their combat capability. So now, the match begins!" said the referee standing on the sidelines, waving a flag.

"Go, Iron Warrior!"

"You come on too, Alidos!"

"Mingye sent out a Bug + Poison-type Ariados from the Chengdu region, but Xiaozhi's Pokémon has never been seen before. Judging from its appearance, it seems to be related to Aledo."

The scene suddenly became lively, and the audience's curiosity was aroused by Xiaozhi's Iron Warrior, and they began to look forward to this battle.

"Is this the paradoxical Pokémon you mentioned? It looks so technological," Feng Lu asked curiously when she saw the Iron Warrior for the first time.

"Yeah!" Sundae nodded in response, then stroked his chin and thought: "I remember that the Iron Warrior seemed to be a fairy + fighting type?"

"Hmm? Isn't that a disadvantage in terms of attributes?" Kamizrei turned his head and said, you know, the poison type can restrain the fairy type.

"Oh, about this," it was Serena who answered this time, "During the previous training, we found that the abnormal status of Iron Warriors lasted shorter than that of ordinary Pokémon. I think Xiaozhi was interested in this."

Ming Ye on the field also took it seriously. He knew about Xiaozhi's Iron Warrior and Iron Baggage, but he didn't know much. The Alliance seemed to have intentionally deleted some information at the time, resulting in Ming Ye knowing very little at present.

"This kid really doesn't want to hide anything at all. The previous Eevee was already enough of a headache," Grandma Kikuko rubbed her forehead with a headache.

"Hahaha, this is Xiaozhi," Aju said with his arms folded across his chest, "No matter what happens in the future, I believe he will be able to handle it."

"Ariados, poison silk!" Mingye took the first move.

The spider's mouthparts spewed out a bunch of sticky purple silk, which split into a web the moment it hit the ground. The web was covered with venom and spread like a snake along the grass, blocking the iron warrior's lower body.

"Iron Warrior, Spirit Blade, cut it!"

Xiaozhi swung his arms. The Iron Warrior crossed his wrist blades, and a flash of pink and purple energy blades flashed—"Crack!" The poisonous silk net was shredded into pieces, and grass fragments mixed with venom flew everywhere, but were shattered by the super-energy aura before they hit the ground.

"Close combat!" Xiaozhi took advantage of the situation and gave chase.

The Iron Warrior left a shadow, his toes barely touching the grass, and in an instant he was at Alidos's belly. He gripped the light blade in reverse and slashed upwards!

"Get away!"

Alidos exerted force on all eight legs simultaneously, leaping back violently, barely avoiding the sharp edge of the shining blade, but a white mark was still left on his abdomen. He roared and raised his tail.

"Signal beam!"

A colorful spiral beam of light shoots out from the tail, with an erratic trajectory.

"Sword Dance!" Xiaozhi did not let the Iron Warrior dodge, but chose to strengthen directly.

The Iron Warrior crossed his two blades on his chest and spun at high speed. The grass leaves were rolled into emerald green vortexes by the airflow, and his attack was greatly enhanced!

The signal beam hit him squarely, producing a lot of smoke, but the Iron Warrior quickly rushed out of it without much injury.

"Insect attacks are almost useless, and his double defense will definitely not be too high. Does that mean he has two anti-insect attributes?" Ming Ye made a judgment immediately.

"Then let's use poison-type attacks! Alidos Sludge Bomb!"

Ming Ye raised his arm, and the poison energy condensed into a dark green turbid ball in front of the spider's mouthparts. It was sprayed out with a "puff" sound, and split into dozens of highly poisonous sludge bombs in the air, blocking all the Iron Warrior's escape routes.

"Iron Warrior, spiritual blade slashes!"

Xiaozhi did not retreat, but took a step forward.

The Iron Warrior swung his double blades outward, and the pink-purple light blades instantly extended into two arc-shaped sword waves.

“Crack! Crack!”

A series of poisonous mists exploded in the air. The sludge bombs were precisely cut by the light blades, turning into poisonous rain that fell on the grass, corroding into charred spots with a "hissing" sound.

There were still sporadic venom splashing onto the Iron Warrior's shoulder armor. These venoms were not ordinary, and any Pokémon that came into contact with them would be affected to varying degrees. But as Serena said, the purple-black venom spots only lasted for two seconds before fading away quickly.

Ming Ye's eyes flashed, and he immediately changed his instructions:

"Spread the poison spikes!"

Alidos flicked its tail, sending several sharp purple-black diamonds tinkling into the grass, forming a poisonous diamond trap. As soon as the next Pokémon touched the ground, the poisonous diamonds would trigger, continuously weakening its health.

"I won't let you succeed—"

Ash clenched his fist, "Iron Warrior, Lightning Flash!"

Om-!

The Iron Warrior pointed his toes and slid off the ground for a short time. The grass leaves were pressed down by the airflow and directly knocked Ariados away, and the poison spike plan was completely in vain.

"Close combat!"

The silver-red figure turned into a stream of light and instantly rushed in front of Alidos, slashing down with both blades!

"Hold on!"

Alidos closed his front legs, and an emerald green barrier unfolded, blocking the attack.

"boom!"

The light blade collided with the barrier, creating a wave of air that pressed the grass leaves to the ground.

Mingye seized the opportunity and whispered:

"Poison Fang!"

At the moment when the light dissipated, Alidos' fangs emitted a purple-black poisonous light and suddenly bit towards the iron warrior's wrist joint!

"Use the spiritual blade to strike back!"

Xiaozhi ordered almost synchronously.

The Iron Warrior flipped his wrist, and the light blade slashed back at an incredible angle, colliding head-on with the Poison Fang!

“Keng——!!”

The metal collided with the fangs, and a ball of sparks exploded.

The poisonous fangs were shaken open by the light blade, and Alidos leaned back, with a crack appearing on his fangs.

"Final blow!"

Xiaozhi raised his hand, his eyes blazing, "Spirit Break!!"

The Iron Warrior combined his two blades into one, and the pink and purple energy was madly compressed, turning into a dazzling energy bomb, which suddenly blasted out!

"Ariados, use the poison spike again!"

Ming Ye saw that there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to prepare for the next battle.

"Boom!!!"

The energy bomb hit Alidos right in the chest, and the shock wave of the explosion blew the spider away, causing it to fall heavily, plowing a long ditch. However, purple poison spikes were also spit out from Alidos' mouth, exploding in the air, and the scattered venom merged into the field.

The referee raised the flag:

"Ariados loses his ability to fight!"

The auditorium instantly erupted.

The commentator shouted excitedly:

"Amazing! Xiaozhi's Iron Warrior won his first victory with absolute speed! How will Mingye respond next?!"

Ming Ye took back Alidos, his expression solemn, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Sure enough...it's worth my full effort."

He raised his hand, and the second Poké Ball spun in his palm.

"Then, the second one—come on, Dragon King Scorpion!!"
