Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 224 Xiao Guang VS Xiao Wang, Mutual Surprise

"They brought out Bogarman in the first round... While he is indeed very suitable for this kind of stage, I feel like Bogarman is expending a bit too much energy."

The first round of review has ended, and the second round of competition is about to begin.

Although Hikari successfully entered the second round, perhaps because he wanted to show off as much as possible in this situation, Bogarman overdid it during the performance. Even when he and Hikari retreated to the back, Bogarman was still panting.

This is not a good sign.

"Hmm... Xiao Guang should be able to see it herself, right? Although she might face Xiao Wang first, that's after a few rounds of matches. Relying on other Pokémon to get through it shouldn't be a problem."

Compared to other Coordinators, whether it's May, Dawn, or Nozomi, they all share one common characteristic—

Skilled in Pokémon battles.

Although the other fifteen contestants all delivered outstanding performances in the first round, their command abilities and the strength of their Pokémon seemed to be a level below.

Without the support of strength, even the most dazzling skills are nothing but a bubble, easily shattered.

However, the most troublesome issue right now is the competition venue.

Because Wallace's specialty is Water-type Pokémon, the main arena for the Wallace Cup is also a Water-type arena. Without Water-type Pokémon, it is quite difficult to gain an advantage on this type of arena.

Fortunately, just as Ash and Brock had thought, although Dawn's opponents in the previous rounds had deliberately sent out Water-type Pokémon to seize the stage advantage, the difference in strength could not be overcome by the advantage of the field.

Moreover, as long as he can ensure he doesn't fall into the water as much as possible, Xiao Guang still has—

"Pachirisu and Silencer both performed very well, giving each other no chance at all. This way, Dawn can battle Nozomi when all her Pokémon have plenty of stamina."

Ash had hoped that none of the three players would lose in the previous matches, and instead successfully advanced to the next round of the knockout stage.

Haruka took the lead and easily defeated her opponent with the Hunting Butterfly, advancing to the finals. Now, the battle on stage is between Hikari and Nozomi.

"Go! Charming Meow!"

In the battle against Xiaoguang, Xiaowang did not use the fluorescent fish, which could take advantage of the field but was of a lower level, but instead chose his ace, the charming cat.

"Xiao Wang has pinned most of his hopes on this match."

After seeing Xiao Wang's choice, Xiao Gang couldn't help but say this.

Should they reveal their trump cards directly, or preserve some of their strength?

Xiao Wang chose the former.

However, Nozomi's choice doesn't necessarily mean she thinks Hikaru is stronger than Haruka. Perhaps her decision stems from...

"No way, it's actually Charming Cat?"

Just as Xiaowang had expected, Xiaoguang became nervous after seeing the charming cat.

Logically, they should all be conserving their strength for the final round, but why did Xiaowang send out her ace player right away? Shouldn't I also...?

Xiao Guang hesitated for a moment, but then quickly shook her head.

In this situation, you absolutely must not be led by the nose; you must have your own opinions.

And so what if she's an ace? Her opponents in simulation battles are Ash's Pokémon!

Xiao Guang's lips curled up, and then, to Xiao Wang's slightly surprised expression, he sent out Curly Ears to fight.

"Game start!"

The referee didn't give Xiaowang much room to think or be surprised. After being outmaneuvered by Xiaoguang, Xiaowang's desire for victory increased even further.

"Charming Meow, use Electric Shock Wave!"

Because her opponent was Curly-eared, the two Electric-type moves she had prepared for Charming Cat lost their effectiveness.

If it were Piplup, she could use Shockwave or Thunderbolt to launch a wide-range attack as soon as the opponent dived to the surface. However, these two moves are not as effective against Curly-Ear, who stands on a floating platform and has amazing jumping ability.

And that's exactly what happened.

Get out of the way!

With just a casual remark, Juanjuan Er lightly leaped into the air, dodging the electric shock wave's attack.

Xiao Wang's score dropped a bit.

"In that case... Charming Meow, jump on!"

Xiao Wang knew that it was a pipe dream for Charming Cat to attack Curly Ears from such a distance using ranged skills. So, in order to ensure that his score would not continue to drop, Xiao Wang had no choice but to have Charming Cat jump into the air and get closer.

Charming Cat's figure kept jumping on the floating boards on the water. After a while, it jumped up on one of the boards with great force. Although its jump height was not as high as Curly Ear, Curly Ear had already begun to fall. At this moment, Charming Cat had the advantage and initiative in terms of height.

"Iron Tail!"

Xiaowang didn't want to lose this opportunity to attack so easily. Although she knew that this attack would most likely be blocked, she still had to take the initiative in the Grand Contest.

"Stunning Fist!"

Xiao Guang naturally understood this principle, so he had Juan Juan Er confront the opponent head-on.

"boom!"

Curly Ears kept flapping its ears, which met and collided with Charming Cat's tail in mid-air. In mid-air, where there was no foothold, neither of them could maintain their offensive posture for long. Soon, they both fell and were about to fall into the water.

The scores on both sides of the big screen were constantly decreasing.

Seeing that Charming Cat was about to fall in, Xiao Wang quickly gave the command—

"Use 100,000 volts in the water!"

"Curly Ears! Use your jump near the nearby floating platform!"

The two gave their instructions one after the other.

This time it's a battle of speed.

Is it Charming Cat's 100,000 Volts faster or Curly Ears' bounce faster?

The audience members immediately reached a conclusion.

"Meow!"

Curly Ears controlled its body to fall to the side, and the moment the electricity flashed on Charming Cat's body, Curly Ears' right leg also landed on the floating board.

Both sides exerted their efforts simultaneously.

A dazzling burst of lightning instantly enveloped the entire arena, raging continuously. But Curly Ears had already ascended to a high altitude, looking down at the somewhat surprised Charming Cat below.

"Now! Freeze Ray!"

Xiao Guang seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and quickly waved his right arm, shouting loudly.
