Pokémon Heart Journey

Chapter 310 Final, Xiaozhi vs. Xiaomao (6)

The field was filled with the lingering aura of burnt energy from the grudge match between Tyranitar and Gengar, and the devastation left by the earthquake. After a brief respite, even heavier pressure gathered.

Xiao Mao didn't hesitate at all. His fingertips had already swept over the Poké Ball at his waist, his eyes sharp as a hawk. "It seems that ordinary tactics are no longer effective against you. Then, let's use absolute speed and strength to decide the outcome! Go, Arcanine!"

A high-pitched bark pierced the air, and a mighty figure descended to the ground in a flash of white light! Orange fur flew like flames, muscular limbs brimmed with explosive power, and a dignified gaze carried an awe-inspiring, untouchable aura!

"It's Arcanine! Xiaomao has sent out a powerful Fire-type Pokémon!" the commentator's voice rose again. "Possessing incredible speed and powerful physical attacks, it's an absolute powerhouse ready to charge into battle!"

In the audience, Yu Longyuan nodded slightly: "Arcane's speed is indeed the most suitable weapon to break the deadlock."

Xiao Yang was worried for Xiao Zhi: "Such a strong sense of pressure, and the speed is also very fast. Who will Xiao Zhi send to deal with it?"

Xiaozhi looked at the majestic Arcanine with a serious look in his eyes. The combination of speed and strength was indeed a tricky one.

"The decision is yours, Lizard King!"

A emerald green figure nimbly leaped into the arena, like the swiftest hunter in the forest. The blades on its arms gleamed with a sharp, cold light, its eyes calm and focused, its long tail gently swaying, maintaining optimal balance and maneuverability.

As if he sensed the strength of his opponent, he did not hold the branch in his mouth as usual, but stared at the opposite side intently the whole time.

"Lizard King! Xiaozhi chose the Grass-type Lizard King!" the commentator analyzed. "It's not advantageous in terms of attributes, but Lizard King is also known for its speed and sharp attacks! This will be a battle of speed!"

"You dare to send him into battle despite his unfavorable attributes? Xiaozhi, your courage is still so ridiculous." Xiaomao curled his lips and launched the attack first, "Arcane, let them see absolute speed! Swiftness!"

As soon as the command was given, Arcanine's form suddenly blurred! It was as if it had transformed into a streak of white lightning, almost beyond the limits of visual perception. Only a shadow could be seen tearing through the air at terrifying speed, rushing straight towards the Lizard King! Swiftness, a high-priority skill, combined with Arcanine's terrifying Speed ​​stat, was incredibly powerful!

"So fast!" Xiaozhi was startled, but his reaction was not slow at all. "Dodged with a flash of lightning! Then the leaf blade!"

A green light flashed in the Lizard King's eyes, and his body transformed into a stream of green light. Instead of resisting head-on, he slid sideways by a hair's breadth! The white lightning and the green light crossed each other dangerously!

At the moment of intersection, the leaf blade on the Lizard King's arm suddenly extended, and the emerald green energy was like a real light knife. He slashed horizontally with his backhand, cutting towards the side of the Wind Speed ​​Dog!

Arcanine's momentum was too strong and it didn't have time to turn completely, but its fighting instinct made it twist its body suddenly and use its tough shoulders to withstand the leaf blade!

Swish! Grass-type energy has little effect on fire-type energy, but the sharpness of the leaf blade still left a shallow mark on Arcanine's fur.

"Hmph, a mere trifle. Arcanine, Flare Charge!" Xiao Mao took advantage of the situation and pursued, intending to crush him with absolute strength!

Arcanine roared, and its entire body was instantly enveloped in blazing flames, transforming into a massive, blazing fireball. With even greater ferocity and force than before, it charged towards the Lizard King once again! The heat wave washed over them, scorching the ground beneath their feet!

"Don't take it head-on! Move at high speed to avoid it!" Xiaozhi is well aware of the power of attribute restraint.

The Lizard King's form became increasingly erratic, like catkins in the wind, moving at high speed and frequency within a small area, dangerously avoiding the edge of the Flash's charge! The scorching flames scorched its body, causing a stinging sensation, but it still managed to hold on with its extreme speed and agility.

"I wonder how long you can hide! Continuous speed!" Xiao Mao didn't give any breathing space and ordered Arcanine to increase its speed to the extreme.

Arcanine stomped its hooves, its figure transforming into white lightning time and again, launching a continuous onslaught from all angles! While its impact wasn't as powerful as the Flash Charge, it was faster and consumed less energy. Like a torrential downpour, the Lizard King was forced to dodge desperately, occasionally using Leaf Blade to block, but the shock left his arms numb and forced him to retreat step by step.

On the scene, the Lizard King was completely passive, like a small boat struggling in the wind and waves.

"If this goes on, the Lizard King will be dragged down!" Serena said worriedly.

Sundae clenched his hands: "We must find a way to fight back..."

In the VIP room, Xiba stroked his chin and said, "In terms of speed, the Lizard King is actually not much inferior, but the strength and attributes are greatly disadvantaged, so it is difficult to find an opportunity to counterattack."

Kona watched the green figure constantly dodging on the field: "The key is whether Xiao Zhineng can create even a momentary opportunity."

Sweat dripped from Xiaozhi's forehead, his mind racing. Arcanine's speed and onslaught were like a relentless tsunami, but he trusted the Lizard King! He trusted its innate agility and tenacity!

"Lizard King, hold on! Find its rhythm!" Xiaozhi shouted. It was not a specific instruction, but a transmission of belief.

Upon hearing this, the Lizard King's eyes sharpened. It no longer attempted to fully perceive every attack, but instead heightened its perception to the extreme, feeling the air currents created by the Wind Speed ​​Dog, listening to the rhythm of its footsteps, and predicting the direction of its next attack! Its dodging became more precise and effortless, like dancing on the edge of a knife, thrilling yet with a strange rhythm.

Time and again, with swift attacks and narrow dodges, Arcanine's attacks remained fierce, but the Lizard King miraculously managed to gradually stabilize its position, even occasionally launching minor counterattacks with its leaf blades. Although these attacks were unable to inflict effective damage, it seemed as if it was accumulating something.

Xiao Mao also noticed this subtle change and frowned slightly. "Tenacious fellow... then let's use this move to decide the outcome! Wind Speed ​​Dog, charge up Flame Attack to accelerate, then use the maximum power of Flash Flame Charge!"

Windy Dog howled, and flames erupted from its body once again, its speed suddenly increasing! It gained a slight distance, and then, even more violent and blazing flames gathered frantically! This flash of fire was far greater than before, as if it was about to engulf the entire venue!

The terrifying pressure loomed over the Lizard King, who felt the fatal threat. Its body had been burned in many places and its physical strength was greatly depleted.

But what burned in its emerald green eyes wasn't fear, but rather the even more intense fighting spirit that erupted from being cornered! The leaf blades on its arms vibrated violently and uncontrollably, emitting an unprecedentedly brilliant green light! The grass-type energy within its body surged like a boiling pot!

It was the trait—Luxuriant! When physical strength was nearing its limit, the power of Grass-type skills was greatly increased! But now, under pressure, it was triggered prematurely by the Lizard King.

"Now, Lizard King!" Xiaozhi's voice trembled with excitement. "We bet everything we have on this one strike! Ultimate - Leaf Blade!!!"

"cut!!!"

The Lizard King let out an unprecedented, shrill cry, as if pouring all its will, strength, and speed into its arms! The brilliant green light practically solidified into a substance, and the two leaf blades crossed in front of it, transforming into an immense, emerald green cross-shaped blade that seemed capable of slicing through space!

It did not choose to dodge, but converted all the kinetic energy accumulated from its high-speed movement into the power of this self-sacrificing attack, and rushed head-on towards the destructive flaming meteor!

"Horse, charge!" Xiao Mao was also infected by the momentum of this desperate counterattack and shouted loudly.

The white flaming meteor and the emerald green cross blade of light represented the pinnacle of speed and power. Their attributes counteracted each other, yet both were equally unstoppable. Under the breathless gaze of the audience, they collided with a bang in the center of the field!!!

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

A deafening explosion engulfed the entire venue! Flames and grass debris flew everywhere, and red and green energy madly intertwined, corroded, and annihilated! The dazzling light made everyone subconsciously close their eyes!

The terrifying shock wave spread out in all directions like a tsunami, even making the hair and clothes of the audience in the front row rustle!

When the light and smoke slowly dissipated, people saw the scene in the field.

A huge charred pit appeared in the center of the site, with traces of burning flames and cutting still remaining on the edge of the pit.

At either end of the pit, two Pokémon lay quietly.

The flames on Arcanine's body had completely gone out, and its orange fur was stained with ashes and scars. It gasped for breath and tried to stand up, supporting itself with its front legs, but eventually fell down powerlessly.

On the other side, the leaf blades on the Lizard King's arms lost their luster and became dim, with burn marks all over its body. It also tried to support its body with its tail, but it was in vain, and the light in its eyes quickly dissipated.

The referee quickly ran forward, carefully checked the status of the two Pokémon, took a deep breath, and announced loudly: "Arcane and Giraffe, both lose their combat capabilities!"

Another draw! An unreserved, spectacular showdown of speed and power ended in the most epic fashion.

After a brief silence, the whole audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers! There was no doubt that the two draws had completely stirred the audience's emotions.

Xiaozhi and Xiaomao were silent and almost simultaneously took back their companions.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lizard King. You did a great job." Ash said softly, pressing the Poké Ball against his forehead.

"What a fun battle, Arcanine," Xiaomao also whispered, gently stroking the Poké Ball.
