I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

299: Semifinals

"What are you gamblers cursing about? Gary is a trainer, and he's already won the Silver Tournament. Of course, Gary can use the tournament to train Pokémon with weaker skills."

"That's right, Shigeru hasn't used his full strength yet, so what's wrong with using a Pokémon that's weak to him?"

Xiao Mao's cheerleaders immediately retaliated. They weren't gamblers; they genuinely supported Xiao Mao. Even if they had placed bets, it didn't matter. They only cared about whether Xiao Mao could win the Silver Tournament championship.

"Alright! Rapidash, you deal with Scizor." Dushe didn't hesitate and sent out Rapidash, which was effective against Scizor.

Baton!

【LV48 Rapidash♂/Gym】

Xiaomao: "...!"

I thought Dushe's Rapidash would be a higher level, but it turned out to be only at the Gym level. It's clear that by the end of the competition, these contestants' Pokémon were already exhausted, and their ace Pokémon were no longer suitable for continuing to fight.

"Dushe has sent out Rapidash, and Fire-type Pokémon are very effective against Scizor," the host said.

Seeing that both players had sent out their Pokémon, the referee immediately announced, "The match begins."

"Scizor, approach Rapidash."

As soon as he finished speaking, Scizor charged towards Rapidash. Without any speed-boosting abilities, Scizor's speed...

"Rapidora, use Flamethrower!" Dushe countered 020, and Rapidora immediately unleashed a flame attack on Scizor.

"Block it with sword dance," Xiao Mao immediately ordered.

The charging scyther immediately stopped and began to perform a sword dance, spinning its body to deflect the flames with the force of the rotation.

"What!" Dushe exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected that the Scizor could use this method to defend against the flames.

"That's the move used by the Kikyo Gym Leader," Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise.

"I didn't expect Gary to know that too," Ash said, equally surprised.

Ash encountered this problem when he challenged Pendulum, and he didn't expect Gary to have learned this trick as well.

"Stop the flames, use the Flame Vortex," Dushe hurriedly said. Although it was the first time he had seen this move, he could see the weakness of the Sword Dance. As long as he surrounded it with flames, he could break the move.

However, Shigeru wouldn't give Rapidash a chance to retaliate.

"Pounce!" Xiao Mao commanded.

"twitter!!"

The Scizor lunged forward, knocking Rapidash away before it could unleash its fiery vortex.

Bang! !

The fiery horse crashed heavily to the ground, but did not fall down; however, it was severely injured.

"Firehorse, stand up quickly and use Fire Wheel!" Dushe commanded urgently.

Despite its severe injuries, Rapidash persevered and stood up, flames erupting from its back and spreading outwards as it charged toward Scizor.

"Bullet punch!"

"twitter!!"

Scizor charged forward to meet the attack. When the two were less than a meter apart, Scizor unleashed its steel-coated pincers like bullets, leaving only a flash of silver light.

The bullet punch tore through the fiery coat of the Blazing Horse, hitting the horse inside and knocking it to the ground.

The fiery horse also closed its eyes and lost consciousness.

"Rapidfire is unable to fight, Scizor wins!" the referee announced.

Dushe was stunned. His Rapidash had been defeated by Scizor. He wondered if he had raised a fake Fire-type Pokémon.

Although it was unacceptable, it was the truth, and Dushe had no choice but to accept it, recalling the Rapidash and then sending out the second Pokémon.

Baton!

A large brown bear walking upright makes its appearance.

【LV50 Circle Bear♂/Near-King】

Looking at the fierce-looking Circle Bear, Xiao Mao calmly commanded, "Iron Head!"

The Scizor charged forward, headfirst into the Ursaring. The Ursaring retaliated with its arm hammer, its massive paw striking the Scizor's hard claws.

boom! !

At the moment of impact, Ursaring's arm was knocked away, and Scizor slammed into Ursaring's abdomen. Ursaring felt a headache coming from its abdomen, and its body was uncontrollably lifted into the air, flying backwards (bbcj).

Bang! !

The bear fell to the ground, sat up, clutched the spot where it had been hit by the scyther, and gasped for breath, clearly badly injured.

"Bullet punch!"

Whoosh! !

The Scizor charged at Ursaring, and to Ursaring's astonishment, unleashed a barrage of Bullet Punches, knocking it down once more. This time, it lost consciousness completely.

"Burst is unable to fight, Scizor wins!" the referee announced.

"Wow, is this Scizor cheating? It's so strong!"

"Holy crap, is he going to take on three opponents at once?! This...!"

"Is Ash's Pikachu really that strong?"

Seeing Scizor defeat two of Dushe's Pokémon in a row, those who thought Scizor was weak were very surprised, and those who placed bets regretted it even more, since they hadn't bet on Gary to win three games in the first half.

Dushe felt immense pressure at this moment, recalled his Circular Bear, and then sent out his third Pokémon.

"Go for it, Double Egg Gas."

Baton!

【LV47 Double Egg Gas♂/Gym】

"Bullet punch!"

At a command, Scizor swiftly moved in front of Weezing and unleashed a barrage of Bullet Punches. Within seconds, Weezing had been hit by dozens of Bullet Punches and was blasted away.

"Wow!!"

Double Egg Gas cried out in pain, but did not collapse.

"what?"

Shigeru was surprised that Weezing wasn't KO'd. Even though Weezing had high physical defense, its stamina was lacking. His own Scizor had the EX Technic ability.

Could it be... that this Weezing has the ability to change gases, which can nullify or disable the abilities of other Pokémon on the field?

"A flash of lightning!"

Whoosh!

"Quick, use self-destruct!" Dushe shouted hurriedly.

Weezing was enveloped in a white glow when Scizor arrived in front of it and knocked it away. Weezing exploded less than two meters after it flew.

boom! ! !

The powerful shockwave sent Scizor flying, but Scizor was not seriously injured and immediately stood up.

"Koffing is unable to battle, Scizor wins!" the referee announced. "All three of Dushe's Pokémon have been defeated. The first half of the match is over, and we will now enter the halftime break."

The first half of the game is over.

"Wow, the Scizor is too strong."

"He withstood the damage from the self-destruction."

"Mantis Bro! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted your strength."

"Mantis Bro, I was wrong, you're too fierce, I can't even handle it."

Those who were previously critical and skeptical changed their attitudes after seeing Scizor sweep three opponents; they were all masters of changing their tune.

300: Defeat Dushe

After a 5-minute break, the second half of the game resumed.

Xiao Mao and Du She reappear.

"Now let's move on to the second half of the match and see what Dushe's starting Pokémon is."

After saying that, Dushe threw out a Poké Ball.

Great!.

An armored rhinoceros makes its appearance.

【LV42 Iron Rhino/Gym】

Xiao Mao was speechless. He had even sent out a level 42 Pokémon, but the Ironclad Rhino hadn't evolved yet.

"Electivire, the rest of the match is up to you." Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

Electabuzz appears.

"Oh! Xiao Shio actually sent out Electabuzz, which is countered by Rhino!" the commentator said.

The audience didn't care. So what if the attribute was countered? They'd all witnessed Electivire's power before. So what if the attribute was reversed?

The battle begins.

The armored rhinoceros charged straight at the electric monster, using its straight drill attack.

Facing the opponent's attack, Xiao Mao had no intention of dodging and met it head-on with a shout: "Explosive Fist!"

Electabuzz charged forward, raising its right fist as it charged. Just as the two were about to close in, Electabuzz unleashed a powerful punch. The moment the fist collided with the head, Rhino came to a sudden stop. As Electabuzz swung its arm, Rhino's body flew backward.

Bang! !

The armored rhinoceros fell to the ground and remained motionless.

"The Armored Rhinoceros is incapacitated; the Electric Monster wins!"
