"Ha, we still lost..."
In the waiting room, Xiao Wang, who had returned defeated, sat down in a chair, leaned against the wall, and let out a long sigh.
Although he was sighing, Xiao Wang's expression didn't show much regret; rather, it was a kind of generous acceptance of having given his all but still facing defeat.
"Those two are really impressive."
Shangzhi, who had lost to Xiaowang in today's competition, came to her side and said this while watching the upcoming final on the screen:
"Those two are both incredibly talented in their respective fields, and this is just the beginning... With such a wonderful start, I can't wait to see the climax of the song."
"Especially Ash... Before I officially battled him, I never imagined that even a simple command from him could put so much pressure on me. It's as if he could guess all my thoughts. He's a monster."
Xiao Wang said this jokingly.
She wasn't just teasing Ash's strength, but also about her own past dissatisfaction with Ash.
......
On stage, both finalists are ready; they are—
Xiao Zhi\u0026 Xiao Guang
Sweet Musashi Rina\u0026 Kojiro Herbert.
Both sides won by a landslide in the second round, and the final match officially began amidst great anticipation.
......
"Hey, Musashi... are you sure you don't need Wobbuffet?"
Before the match began, Kojiro asked Musashi this question with some concern.
Their previous victories were definitely inseparable from Wobbuffet. Even without Jessie's command, Wobbuffet could perfectly judge the opponent's attack type and counter it.
This also meant that their opponents were generally afraid to attack recklessly, which gave Kojiro an absolute offensive advantage.
However, before the final, Musashi stated that she would not send out Wobbuffet.
"What can we do? Wobbuffet has hardly ever gotten the better of that brat. If the brat's commands make Wobbuffet's Counter Punch difficult to use, then sending out Wobbuffet is pointless, isn't it? That guy doesn't have any offensive moves."
"this......"
Clearly, Musashi had put thought into winning this tournament.
When Wobbuffet first arrived in the Sinnoh region, it had already battled the combination of Pikachu and Aipom, and Wobbuffet did not gain any advantage that time.
"so--"
Musashi then drew out the sound, looking at Kojiro with a smiling expression, and said:
"It all depends on you now. Don't let victory slip away when it's almost in your grasp."
"Yes...yes..."
Under Musashi's threat, Kojiro trembled with fear and reluctantly agreed.
The match began, and both sides sent out their respective Pokémon.
Musashi and Kojiro chose the Poisonous White Butterfly and the Desert Nyarlathotep.
On the other side, Ash and Dawn sent out a combination of Apokolips and Brill.
Knowing Ash's strength, Jessie and Kojiro changed their fighting style from the start, quickly seizing the initiative in the match.
"Poisonous Butterfly, use Illusion Beam on Curly-eared Butterfly!"
"Desert Naya, use Pin Missiles on Curly-eared!"
"what?"
Xiao Guang never expected that he would be attacked by a group of people so soon after the game started.
Logically speaking, shouldn't each player choose a target in a doubles match?
"Twin-tailed Poison Hand, use Swift on Butterfree!"
Hwang glanced at Ash, but from Ash's expression, she could tell that he didn't seem to have any intention of helping her directly.
So, is she supposed to resolve the crisis herself?
Since that's the case—
"Curly Ear, jump away!"
Xiao Guang decided to avoid direct confrontation for now.
"Meow!"
Faced with the oncoming attack, Juanjuan concentrated her strength in her legs and jumped away just as the opponent's attack was about to hit her.
"boom!"
The illusionary beam and missile needle landed directly on the ground where Curly Ear had been standing, creating an explosion.
and then?
"boom!"
Although it wasn't as powerful as when two Pokémon used it together, Apokolips' Swift Strike still managed to hit Dustow.
The opponent didn't even let the Poisonous Butterfly dodge in order to attack the Curly-eared Butterfly, which is practically unheard of in a Grand Contest, after all—
"Hmm...aren't you going to dodge?"
"Isn't this just a little bit...?"
The judges frowned.
This is a grand competition, and the judging criteria are not based on which side has the stronger direct strength in the battle.
In battles, the bond and synergy between trainers and Pokémon—these invisible and immeasurable factors—are also crucial and cannot be overlooked.
Jessie and Kojiro's fighting style is fine in Pokémon battles, but it seems a bit out of place on the stage of a Pokémon Contest.
"Musashi...should we continue? The reaction from the audience seems a bit..."
Kojiro was worried that if things continued like this, they would be met with a chorus of sighs. Just as he was about to remind Musashi to see if they should change their fighting style, Musashi simply said in an impatient tone:
"Why do you care about the reactions on the ground?! Instead of thinking about those useless things, why not think about how to win the battle and get me the Ribbon Medal! Team Rocket is free! We should do whatever it takes to achieve our goals!"
"..."
Kojiro was silent for a moment, then patted his head in annoyance and apologized.
"Too."
He didn't say anything more, but Musashi understood what he meant.
They are the Rockets, who left for freedom, and what they want is very simple: victory.
"Poisonous Butterfly, use Illusion Beam on Curly-eared Butterfly again!"
"Desert Nyarlathotep, use the sandstorm as cover!"
They followed their initial plan this time, but Kojiro made a change.
It was quite difficult to hit the agile Curly Ear directly with the skill, not to mention that there were also Twin Tail Hand and Little Devil in the way on the other side. In order to increase the chances of winning in the end, Kojiro decided that this time he and Desert Nyarlathotep would cover for Musashi and Poison Butterfly.
Desert Naya took the lead, spinning around, and a raging sandstorm began to rise from the scene.
Under the cover of the sandstorm, the colorful illusory light then appeared.
