Pokémon Heart Journey

Chapter 299 Top 4, Fighting Xiaoyang Again (7)

"Xiaozhi really only cares about food and not about beatings," Yu Longyuan commented as he looked at the stunned Monkey in the audience.

"I've fallen for this trick before."

"Roar--!!"

After the second roar, the Forsaken remained standing, arms folded across his chest, like a mottled stone statue. Its crimson eyes slowly shifted, first scanning the Leave King, then Xiaozhi, and finally resting on its own trembling fists.

"Don't panic."

Xiaozhi lowered the brim of his hat and spoke in a voice so low that only he could hear it.

"Abandoned Monkey, use provocation."

The Abandoned Monkey grinned, revealing a twisted smile. Its right fist slammed into its chest with a hollow drumming sound. The next moment, it transformed into a gray shadow and lunged straight at the King of Leave, its five fingers spread wide, their tips entwined with dark purple resentment.

provocative!

The originally lazy look in the King of Leave suddenly darkened, and a puff of heavy air blew out of his nostrils.

"Flame Fist!" Xiaoyang raised his hand and struck decisively.

The King of Leave stamped his right foot forward, sending a circular wave of sand blasting across the sand. His entire right arm swelled, muscles rising like rock. Searing flames enveloped his palm, and with a whistling sound, he swung it towards the Forsaken Monkey's waist.

"Use the bounce!"

The Abandoned Monkey slightly bent his knees, and the flying energy gathered under his feet. With a light jump, he leaped over the oncoming King of Leave, and his body reached a height of half a meter.

"Spray flames!" Xiaoyang quickly followed up with the order.

The King of Asking for Leave suddenly looked up. The remaining force of the Flame Fist had not yet dissipated, but his left palm had already risen up, and tongues of fire spurted out from his tiger's mouth, turning into a backward-rolling red tornado, chasing the gray shadow in the air.

"Use the latent spirit to launch a surprise attack!"

Xiaozhi's voice snapped like a taut bowstring in the scorching air. The Forsaken twisted its body in mid-air, and dark purple ghostly energy exploded from between its fingers, swallowing it whole like a sudden opening of night.

The fire tornado missed, only able to singe a wisp of its afterimage. The King of Leave's pupils shrank slightly, and his nostrils blew heavily—he could neither smell nor hear his opponent's breath, as if the gray shadow had been wiped out of the world.

But then, a hurricane came from the side.

The King of Leave did not dodge or evade, but waved his left palm casually -

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

With three crisp sounds, the fist force was smashed into pieces by the giant palm, and the black mist exploded, but it did not even scratch the skin of the King of Leave.

It slowly turned around and looked at the Abandoned Monkey who had distanced himself from it, with the corners of its mouth slightly raised.

Faced with such provocation, the hot-tempered Abandoned Monkey immediately became furious.

"Malicious pursuit," Xiaozhi said in a very light tone.

The moment the Abandoned Monkey stepped onto the ground, its foot twisted, and its body transformed into a shadow, circling behind the King of Leave. It pulled its right arm back, its entire arm entangled in dark purple resentment, like a fully drawn bow.

boom!

The malicious pursuit struck the Queen of Leave right in the heart. The ground cracked with a crackling sound, and spiderweb-like patterns appeared, sending yellow sand billowing into the air. However, the Queen of Leave merely stumbled forward half a step, then slowly turned, moving like a mountain.

It lowered its head and stared at the Abandoned Monkey, and for the first time, seriousness appeared in its eyes.

"It's time to put an end to the King of Leave, with a heavy impact." Xiaoyang spoke as coldly as ice.

The King of Leave clasped his palms together, squeezing the air and making a loud noise. He arched his back, gathering strength, and the sand beneath his feet instantly collapsed into a circular pit three meters in diameter.

boom! !

The King of Leave transformed into a gray-brown cannonball and slammed directly into the Abandoned Monkey. A white wave tore through the air, and the yellow sand along its path was swirled into spirals.

The Abandoned Monkey tried to repeat his old trick, but found that the air around him seemed to have been sucked out, and his body felt heavy as lead. He only had time to cross his arms in front of his chest.

click!

The sound of bones cracking was audible. The Abandoned Monkey flew backward twenty meters like a kite with a broken string, its back smashing through the stone wall at the edge of the field, sending rubble raining down. It struggled to get up, but its arms drooped limply at its sides, its knuckles twisted at odd angles.

The referee's banner was raised high: "The Abandoned Monkey has lost his ability to fight!"

The audience was so quiet that one could hear the friction of sand in the wind. The King of Leave slowly closed his fist and exhaled a puff of white mist, as if he had just finished a warm-up.

Xiaozhi was silent for two seconds, then retracted the Forsaken and gently rubbed his fingertips across the surface of the Poké Ball, as if to soothe it. Then, he looked up, across the field, and met Xiaoyang's gaze.

"Lizard King," he threw a second Poké Ball, "Please."

Green light fell to the ground, and the Lizard King knelt on one knee, its tail buried in the sand. It raised its eyes, its pupils shrunk to pinpoints, and the blades twirled silently between its wrists.

"Hey! Don't you need Charizard? The Lizard King's injury hasn't healed yet." Serena asked in confusion, looking at the Lizard King panting on the field.

"I think Xiaozhi must have taken a fancy to Lizard King's agility," Yu Longyuan explained. "No matter how high the Leave King's attack power is, it's meaningless if it doesn't hit. It's still very difficult for Leave King, which is hindered by its characteristics, to hit Lizard King."

"And don't forget, Lizardlord is a Grass-type Pokémon!"

"The Lizard King uses photosynthesis!"

"A-A!"

The Lizard King knelt on one knee, his arms crossed. Sunlight was rapidly gathered by the golden beads behind him, transforming into emerald green light particles that trickled into his body. The old scar on his chest, still unhealed, was visibly shrinking, and his breathing became long and drawn out once again.

"In a flash of lightning", after roughly estimating the time, Xiaozhi immediately launched an attack.

Spitting out the branch in his mouth, the Lizard King's body suddenly became ethereal, transforming into a streak of emerald green lightning. He circled halfway around the field and instantly approached the right side of the King of Leave. The double blades were raised, slashing out a crescent-shaped green light.

"Knife leaf!"

The King of Leave raised his right palm and swung it casually, as if swatting a fly. The edge of his palm collided with the tail blade with a loud metallic clang, sparks flying everywhere. The Lizard King was thrown back three steps, and the tail blade vibrated and hummed.

"See through it." Xiaozhi said softly.

A silver light flashed in the Lizard King's pupils, and the world in its eyes suddenly slowed down. It saw the King of Leave slowly raising his left fist, his muscle fibers tensed like a fully stretched cable.

The Lizard King took a half step back with his left foot, leaning sideways, just enough to avoid the iron fist. The wind from the fist brushed against his temples, severing a few strands of his hair.

"Come again, blade leaf slash!"

The Lizard King spun, its tail blade transforming into three overlapping green shadows, slashing at the King's knees, waist, and neck. Each strike landed precisely on the same spot, like a chisel striking stone.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

The third blow landed, and a white mark finally appeared on the Queen's neck. It blinked, seemed to feel a little itchy, and raised its hand to scratch it.

"Qi Fist." Xiaoyang's voice came from far away.

The King of Leave stepped back with his right foot, his right fist tucked at his waist. The air began to vibrate, and grains of sand floated upward against gravity. The Lizard King felt an invisible pressure, as if a giant hand were gripping his heart.

It wanted to retreat, but found that its feet seemed to be nailed into the sand.

"Get out of the way!" Xiaozhi almost shouted.

The Lizard King braced himself on all fours, sending sand flying as he instantly leaped high into the air. Almost instantly, the King of Leave's Qi Fist slammed down—

boom! !

With the King of Leave as the center, the sand with a radius of ten meters sank half a meter as a whole, and the shock wave spread in a circular shape.
