Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 406 Piplup vs. Wobbuffet

"Kengo, did you really lose so completely...?"

After seeing Kengo easily defeated by Sweet Musashi Rina in the rest area, Hikaru's face showed a hint of worry.

She knew Kengo's personality well; he was arrogant and a bit annoying, somewhat like Bogarman, but worse.

Even though Hikaru hates Kengo's past pranks, the two have known each other for so long, so Hikaru is naturally worried that Kengo might not be able to withstand such a blow.

After the first round of battles, Kengo and Sweet Musashi Rina, who were the two combatants, quickly came down the stairs to the preparation room below.

Sweet Musashi Lina sat on the sofa with a smile on her face, her legs crossed in a victorious pose.

As for Jianwu—

"Hey, Kengo!"

Jianwu's face was gloomy and lifeless, like an old man on his deathbed.

Seeing that things were indeed as she had imagined, Hikari was about to go forward to comfort Kengo, but before she could even take a step forward, Kengo growled in a gloomy tone, "Leave me alone!"

He then went to a corner of the lounge and sat there alone, not leaving, seemingly wanting to watch the game until the very end.

"..." Hikaru, who meant well and wanted to comfort Kengo, was inexplicably scolded. Even though Hikaru had a very good temper, a hint of anger still rose in his heart. "Then do as you please!"

After saying that, Xiao Guang left without looking back, preparing to start his match later.

When Xiao Wang saw this, he just shook his head silently.

With this kind of personality, it's no wonder she turned out this way.

......

The rise of Sweet Musashi Lina in the first round was ultimately just a minor episode in this tournament.

The clashes between numerous dark horse contenders directly influenced people's predictions for the champion at this year's grand celebration.

First up is Shoji, who emphasizes both the Grand Contest and Gym Battles.

Many people have high expectations for Shangzhi, since defeating the opponent's Pokémon directly on the stage of the Pokémon Contest is also considered a victory.

However, when Shangzhi faced Xiaoguang, even though he had sent out his strongest fighter, the Speaker Shrimp, he was still no match for Xiaoguang's Curly Ear and lost by a narrow margin.

The strongest players in Groups A and B have now been determined, and Xiaoguang has successfully advanced to the finals.

Then, in Group C, Xiao Wang decisively defeated his opponent in the first round, but unexpectedly—

"How could this be...?"

Facing Sweet Musashi Rina, who easily defeated Kengo, Nozomi dared not say that she was not taking it lightly at all, and immediately sent out Charming Cat, who had been her partner the longest.

But no matter how many strategies she came up with, they were all ruthlessly thwarted by the Wobbuffet sent by her opponent.

Counter-punch + Mirror Reflection

With this combination of attacks, no matter how hard her charm cat tried, she couldn't defeat her opponent.

That combination, which could be described as utterly shameless, stood blocking their path like a mountain.

"As expected of the old man..."

On the final stage, Hikari looked at Jessie Rina, who had already sent out her Pokémon, and muttered to herself.

Unexpectedly, Nozomi was eliminated first. However, to be honest, Nozomi's Charm was not at an advantage when facing Wobbuffet, which is why she was forced to fight so hard in the battle.

But then again...

Are you that confident? You're still using Wobbuffet on the final stage.

Only about ten minutes had passed since the last battle. Although Wobbuffet won the last battle, it wasn't completely unscathed.

The charming cat in the middle hit it head-on three times.

No normal trainer would ever send an injured Pokémon into battle, right?

But upon closer reflection, if it were the very distinctive Sweet Musashi Rina, it wouldn't seem so strange.

"Phew—" Moreover, Hikaru has one significant advantage: "Please, Piplup!"

They deal with Team Rocket all day long, and Ash had already taught her how to deal with Wobbuffet.

"Poga~!"

As countless bubbles appeared, Poplume proudly raised its head and looked at Wobbuffet opposite it with great enthusiasm, as if victory was in its grasp.

"Game start!"

No sooner had Bai'an finished speaking than Xiao Guang seized the initiative.

"Bogarman, charge forward! Bubble Beam!"

"Poga!"

Knowing that Wobbuffet won't go first, there's no point in thinking about who goes first.

Moreover, Xiao Guang originally intended to seize the initiative.

"It's useless, it's useless!"

After easily defeating Nozomi, Sweet Musashi Rina's confidence swelled to the extreme. She originally thought that if Wobbuffet could easily defeat Nozomi, it should also be able to easily defeat Hikari. Therefore, her mentality has now begun to resemble that of Kengo in the first battle.

"Bounce it back at me!"

What is the thrill of battle?

The thrill of strategizing and planning.

After experiencing the simplest victory, she quickly put it all behind her.

After all, when Musashi decided to use Wobbuffet, it meant that she was no longer involved in this battle. In such a short time, all she could learn was basic combat knowledge, which did not include the types of skills.

Therefore, when choosing between a counter-punch or a mirror reflection, she still left everything to Wobbuffet to decide.

"Sonams!"

Sure enough, the old man's body lit up with rainbow light.

Specular reflection.

As expected, Weng made the correct judgment.

"Dodge to the side!"

"Poga!"

The Bubble Beam transformed into a white streak of light the instant it hit Wobbuffet, hurtling towards Piplup.

When faced with Wobbuffet's counterattack, Piplup simply turned slightly to dodge the attack.

Although Wobbuffet's counterattack speed is very fast, Piplup has experience fighting Wobbuffet before, and it is very easy to dodge this level of counterattack if it is well prepared.

That wretched little brat!

When Sweet Musashi Rina saw this scene, her initial excitement was immediately dampened.

In short, she had a bad feeling about it.

"Tide Whirlwind!"

Xiao Guang gave the other party almost no space to think.

The next attack followed immediately.

"Bounce back!"

"Sonams!"

Sure enough, the old man leaped forward.

The light from before reappeared on the surface of the body.

But this time—

"This attack wasn't aimed at Wobbuffet!"

Xiao Guang smiled slightly.

"Throw it at Wobbuffet's feet!"
