Chapter 626 Lala Algae's First Battle!
"An eye for an eye!"
An eye for an eye, a strike after the fact, doubles the power of the attack.
The cunning tengu's green leaf hand was instantly shrouded in a dark light, and it struck the armored bird's wing heavily.
Boom boom!
The armored bird lost its balance and plummeted straight to the ground!
Before it could recover, the cunning tengu unleashed another leaf storm that slammed into the ground.
Boom boom boom!
The fallen leaves transformed into a green storm, and the armored bird finally closed its eyes, losing its ability to fight.
"Thank you for your hard work, Skarmory. You've done a great job."
Ah Xun sighed softly; he had to admit that this apprentice did indeed have some talent.
But there are some things.
"Rosredo, go and win!"
Ash threw out the last Pokémon, Roserade, which landed with its flower-shaped hands swaying gently.
Her posture was even more elegant than the poisonous rose from before.
"Grass-type versus Grass-type... what an interesting combination."
Grandpa Fu watched with a smile.
"Cunning Tengu, use Leaf Blade!"
"Rosredo, Poison Sting!"
Both sides gave the order simultaneously!
The cunning tengu suddenly stepped forward, energy condensing into a sharp blade along the edge of the leaf, slashing diagonally towards Roserade!
Roserade remained calm and collected, condensing energy into spikes at the tip of her arm and charging towards the leaf blade!
Sonorous!
In the contest, Roserade came out on top!
Ah Xun waved his hand and commanded, "It's not over yet, use Magic Leaf!"
Roseredo's other flowered arm, which had been hidden behind her back, suddenly unfolded, and dozens of fluorescent leaves shot directly at the cunning tengu.
With a loud bang! It struck him squarely in the back!
"Such a fast magic leaf!" Hill instantly felt the pressure and quickly shouted.
"Cunning Tengu, move at high speed to flank us!"
The cunning tengu blurred into a blur, circling behind Roserade, but Asuka had anticipated this:
"Find an opportunity to use poison!"
Roserade suddenly turned around, and the energy venomous spikes at the tip of her flower pierced into the body of the cunning tengu!
This causes it to become poisoned.
Ash exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Ash's Roserade is really well-trained!"
Citron chimed in, "Yes, the level won't be low."
They've been poisoned; this is going to be difficult.
Seeing the faint purple light appearing on the cunning tengu's face, Hill's expression was complicated:
"Cunning Tengu, use Leaf Storm!"
The cunning tengu flapped its leaf-like arm, and countless fallen leaves with sharp edges were swept up by energy, swirling into a green storm that swept towards Roserade.
Ash glanced up at the blazing sun overhead and resolutely ordered, "Rosredo, use the power of the sun and activate the Weather Ball!"
At this moment, the sun is shining brightly, and the weather balloon, illuminated by the sunlight, transforms into a giant fireball!
Boom boom!
The moment the flames collided with the fallen leaves, the leaves in the leaf storm were ignited by the fireball, instantly turning into a green fire vortex with sparks, launching a counterattack in the blink of an eye!
The cunning tengu quickly distanced itself, but Ah Xun relentlessly pursued it.
"Don't give it a chance to breathe, Poison Strike, follow up!"
Roserade quickly closed in, and the poisonous thorns on the bouquet solidified again, aiming straight for the cunning tengu's chest.
"Quickly use your blades to block!"
Bang! The cunning tengu blocked with its leaf blades!
Ah Xun revealed a confident smile.
"Activate, Venom Trap!"
Roserade suddenly increased the force, and a sticky purple venom burst from the tip of her stinger, splashing right onto the chest of the cunning Tengu!
The moment the venom touches the skin, it seems to trigger a complete reaction.
The cunning tengu, who had been barely able to withstand the poison, is now in a much worse state.
This makes the already poor family even worse off.
With the battle reaching this point, everyone present knew it was about to end, and Ah Xun launched his final attack.
"Weather Ball!"
Roserade raised her arm high above her head, and a huge flame appeared above the cunning tengu.
Falling with a crash!
Boom boom boom!
Smoke and sparks erupted as the cunning tengu staggered and collapsed, incapacitated.
The referee raised the flag: "The cunning tengu is unable to fight; challenger A-Xun is the winner!"
"Yosh! It has to be Grandpa Ah Xun again!"
Ah Xun immediately stepped forward and excitedly high-fived Roseradore.
Hill then withdrew his cunning tengu, walked up to Ashin, and bowed deeply: "Your command and Roseradore's strength are far superior to mine. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."
"Well, your cunning tengu is not bad either."
Ah Xun raised his chin, his tone carrying the smugness characteristic of the blond-haired guy.
"But I, the great one, am still the better one!"
As Master Fu stepped forward to present the forest badge, Ah Xun finally got his wish.
"Uncle Fu, me too, me too."
Xiao Guang immediately raised his hand and shook it gently, the sound crisp and clear, carrying a hint of eager anticipation.
"Hehe, little girl, don't be in a hurry."
Grandpa Fu brought over freshly brewed tea with a smile.
"Come on, young people, and this young inspector, have a drink to refresh yourselves."
The refreshing aroma of tea immediately filled the air.
Xiao Zhi: "Wow, it smells so good!"
Citron: "It smells very refreshing."
"That would be disrespectful."
Xiaoyun bowed slightly and accepted the teacup with both hands, behaving with proper manners.
"Haha."
As he watched the others begin to enjoy their tea, Master Fu leisurely placed his hands behind his back, his gaze seemingly piercing through the rising steam to see something far more profound.
"Drinking tea is an art."
He slowly recounted:
"Through tea tasting, one can achieve a meditative relaxation. For example, when brewing tea, the nasal cavity perceives the aroma before the mind, and the tea soup flows smoothly into the throat."
"Since it can bring spiritual peace and allow the aroma of tea to blend with the natural atmosphere, creating a unique sensory experience..."
As Grandpa Fu was speaking, Xiao Zhi had already downed the tea in his cup in one gulp, and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Um... Mr. Fu, could I have another drink?"
Seeing this, Xiaoyun's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Dude, are you eating ginseng fruit here? Even Pigsy (Zhu Bajie) isn't as fast as you.
And doesn't it get hot for you?
"Uh, hahaha, okay, then have another one!"
Grandpa Fu was slightly taken aback at first, but then he was amused by Xiao Zhi's straightforwardness and burst into laughter.
"In short, drinking tea helps to calm the mind. Fighting is a very physically demanding activity, and I'm getting old, so I can't compare to you young people in terms of energy."
You could hear a hint of emotion in Grandpa Fu's tone, but there was no sense of dejection.
"I definitely feel much more relaxed now."
Xiao Guang held the warm teacup in both hands, feeling the tranquility emanating from within, which seemed to ease even the tension of the upcoming battle.
After a short break, the dojo competition continued.
The aroma of tea that filled the air was gradually replaced by the tense atmosphere before the battle.
The apprentice from before took over as referee, while Master Fu returned to the east side of the field. He stood with his hands behind his back, casting a kind yet sharp gaze at Xiao Guang:
"Young lady, a competition is also a kind of tea ceremony. You have to calm down and slowly savor the rhythm and changes. You can't rush it or panic."
Xiao Guang took a deep breath and responded confidently:
"Don't worry, Master Fu, my teamwork with Pokémon is also very solid!"
"It's you, Lala Algae!"
A flash of red light, and the Lala Algae, which resembles a seahorse but has a body that looks more like a clump of dark brown seaweed, makes its appearance.
It supports its body with its tail fin and emits a low, mournful sound.
Grandpa Fu then calmly tossed out a Poké Ball: "Come out, Jumpluff."
A flash of red light appeared, and a pure white, fluffy shuttlecock quietly emerged.
"Shuttlecock cotton, use the flying leaf blade!"
Master Fu gave the order first.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen sharp green leaves with gleaming edges shot out from the downy hairs of the shuttlecock cotton, attacking the lava algae from different angles like darts!
"Ultra algae, use the water gun to blast them away!" Xiao Guang's voice was crisp and clear.
Upon receiving the command, Lala Algae opened its mouth and a condensed and rapid jet of water shot out like a high-pressure water gun.
Bang bang bang!
The water jets swept across the area, precisely knocking most of the leaves away or wetting them so they fell to the ground!
Master Fu smiled, seemingly unsurprised by the defense, and continued to issue orders:
"Next, use cotton spores."
The shuttlecock gently shook its slightly damp fluff, and a large amount of snow-white cotton fluff drifted towards the algae like a mist.
However, Xiao Guang was prepared: "Lala Zao, use Tornado!"
The Lala Algae rapidly spun its body, creating a small whirlwind that not only swept away all the cotton spores but also engulfed the shuttlecock cotton in mid-air.
Master Fu stroked his beard and exclaimed in admiration:
"That was a quick reaction. Now, shuttlecock, use Fairy Wind to stabilize it!"
The shuttlecock, with its cotton-like body thumping vigorously, also stirred up a light pink whirlwind.
Two winds of different nature collided in the air, and the shuttlecock took the opportunity to break free from the tornado's grasp.
"Now's the time, seed machine gun!"
Master Fu seized the opportunity to pursue!
Boo hoo hoo-!
A series of green seeds, as hard as iron bullets, shot out and instantly covered the area where the Lava Algae were!
The green seeds shot through the air like bullets!
"Not so easy! Shadow Clone Technique!"
Xiao Guang reacted extremely quickly, shouting out the command almost at the same time that Master Fu gave the order.
In an instant, dozens of phantom images of scum algae appeared on the field, and the dense seed machine guns all missed their mark, hitting the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.
"Perfect opportunity! Close the distance and use Venom Tail!"
Xiao Guang seized the brief moment of weakness after the opponent's attack and launched a counterattack!
Numerous clones vanished suddenly, and the true form, Lala Algae, charged in from the flank in an instant, its tail instantly covered with a layer of deep purple light, forcefully sweeping towards the stopped Shuttlecock Cotton!
"Cotton defense!" Master Fu calmly ordered.
The fluffy cotton inside the shuttlecock instantly expanded, forming a thick white shield that deflated the attack.
boom!
Most of the venomous tail's power was absorbed!
But Xiao Guang's offensive did not end there; he immediately followed up with further instructions.
"It's not over yet, use deadly poison!"
Just as Jianzi Mian was focused on defending against the impact, Lala Algae opened its mouth and a thick, purplish-black venom accurately struck Jianzi Mian!
"Cotton!!"
The shuttlecock cried out in pain as it was visibly stained purple, and its face immediately showed signs of pain and weakness.
Poisoning status activated!
"What a miscalculation..."
Master Fu sighed softly, so focused on defense that he had momentarily forgotten that his opponent also possessed poison properties.
"Lala algae, immediately create distance!"
Having achieved his tactical objective, Xiao Guang decisively gave the order to slowly wear down the enemy by utilizing the poison's effects.
Finally, under Xiao Guang's command and with Lala Zao's maneuvering, Jianzi Mian, exhausted from accumulating toxins, swayed and fell from the sky.
The referee waved his flag and announced, "Jumper shuttlecock is unable to fight!"
"It seems I've been a bit too hasty."
Grandpa Fu shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of self-reflection, but his eyes remained calm.
He deftly pulled out a second Poké Ball, flicked his wrist, and said, "Your turn, Victreebel!"
A flash of red light, and the deep green giant food flower fell heavily to the ground.
Its enormous calyx, like a gaping maw, defiantly swayed towards the lava algae.
The combination of poison and herb properties perfectly countered the previous poison tactics.
Xiao Guang's smile faded; he knew his elemental disadvantage meant he had to finish the battle quickly.
"Hey algae, don't let your guard down! Use a water gun to attack its calyx!"
call out--!
A jet of water shot out, but the giant water sprite reacted extremely quickly, whipping its vines like a whip to shatter the water jet in mid-air, splashing water everywhere!
However, Master Fu's instructions followed immediately:
"Catfish Flower, use your vine whip to bind your opponent!"
Snapped!
Two thick vines, like living venomous snakes, coiled around the lava algae with lightning speed!
Xiao Guang shouted urgently, "La La Zao, get out of the way!"
But it was too late. The vines precisely wrapped around the relatively slow-moving tail of the algae, and suddenly pulled it off the ground, suspending it in mid-air!
"Big Eater Flower, powerful whip!"
Grandpa Fu raised his hand and pressed down hard.
"flower!"
The giant carnivore let out a deep roar, swung its vine whip, and slammed the bound scum algae hard into the ground!
boom!
A muffled thud was heard, and a wisp of smoke rose.
The blow was incredibly heavy; Lala Algae didn't even have time to struggle before losing her fighting ability on the spot.
"Dawn, please send out your next Pokémon!"
The referee immediately delivered the verdict.
The performance of this Victoire truly surprised Xiaoyun and Xiaozhi, who were watching the battle.
Because of James, Victreebel has always been a true source of humor, but it's unexpected that such a Pokémon would have such formidable power in the hands of this old man.
I just don't know if, once the emotions are right, I'll gulp it down on the old man.
On the other side, Dawn recalled Lava sprite and said softly to the Poké Ball, "Thank you for your hard work, Lava sprite. You've done a great job. Now it's up to your friends!"
Xiao Guang took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening again, and threw out the second Poké Ball:
"Warriors Eagles, we're counting on you!"
"Wow—!"
A loud eagle cry pierced the sky, and the mighty eagle spread its wings, the strong wind it generated sweeping the grass below. Its eagle eyes were firmly locked on the giant carnivorous plant below.
"Oh? It's a rare, heterochromatic warrior eagle. How unusual."
Master Fu showed interest, but not the embarrassment of being at a disadvantage, and commanded:
"Fish-eating flower, poison powder!"
puff--!
The giant flower suddenly swelled its body, spewing out a thick cloud of purple powder from its enormous calyx, which spread like poisonous fog toward the warrior eagle in mid-air.
"Warrior Eagle, blow it away with the storm!"
Xiao Guang swung his arm forward.
The mighty eagle flapped its enormous wings violently, instantly creating a violent gust of wind.
Whoosh!
The strong winds not only swept the poisonous powder back, but also made the frugifolia's branches and leaves tremble violently.
Although its poison attribute made it immune to poisoning, the wind pressure still made its calyx shrink.
Before it could fully catch its breath, Xiao Guang had already shouted the attack command: "Now, Wings of Aura!"
