Torchic stood up with difficulty, its orange-red fluff covered with burnt black grass clippings. Torchic stood up and shook his head, trying to dispel the dizziness in his head. Although the feathers on his head were a little sluggish, they were still beating tenaciously.
In the stands, Chiba Taro frowned when he saw Torchic standing up again. Then he looked at Snivy, who was also a little depressed in the field, and thought with a headache: 'There are growth skills next. Leaf Tornado, whose power has increased by nearly 30%, can actually stand up so quickly. Although there are reasons for Type's restraint, it is undeniable that the opponent Torchic is indeed very strong!'
Xinhai, who had been staring at the opponent, also noticed that Snivy was in a somewhat depressed state. After realizing that the opponent used this special technique, he also paid a heavy price.
Realizing that he could not give the opponent Snivy time to recover, Xinhai quickly issued a new command to Torchic, "Torchic, resist with continuous Ember, and then use Quick Attack!"
Little Fire Chicken took a deep breath, its chest suddenly expanded, and hot sparks shot out like fireworks.
The roaring Magical Leaf was turned into ashes in the rain of fire, and then it turned into a dazzling white light and rushed towards Snivy.
Seeing that the opponent Torchic was so fast, Chiba Taro felt a little uncomfortable and quickly ordered, "Snivy, Magical Leaf, then attack with Vine Whip!"
Snivy swung its leaf-shaped tail, and two pieces of emerald green Magical Leaf flew out. At the same time, two green Vine Whip quickly stretched out from its two small wings, attacking the charging Torchic.
However, Torchic showed amazing flexibility. It first used Ember to resist Magical Leaf, and then relied on the speed advantage brought by Quick Attack to dexterously avoid the Vine Whip attack of the opponent Snivy.
Seeing Torchic avoiding Vine Whip, Xinhai quickly ordered, "Flame Charge speed up!"
When Snivy tried to retract Vine Whip, he used it to catch Torchic, but was accelerated and thrown away by Torchic's change of moves, and the blazing tail flames dragged out a long trajectory behind.
Chiba Taro tried his best to stay calm and stared closely at the distance between the two Pokémons on the field. When he saw Torchic entering the attack range, he shouted, "Use Giga Drain quickly!"
Snivy stretched out his hands and suddenly a green halo bloomed. Many green light spots flew out of the halo and flew towards Torchic.
Upon seeing this, Torchic not only did not flinch, but instead gathered Dual Wingbeat, crashing into it like a burning cannonball!
"Boom!" The air wave stirred up gravel all over the ground, and Snivy rolled in the air and fell to the ground. The emerald green scales curled up a little under the high temperature of Flame Charge.
Seeing Snivy being knocked away, Xinhai quickly ordered, "After Quick Attack catches up, use Ember!"
Torchic endured the pain of being drained of his physical strength, and his whole body was wrapped in white light, like a silver-white meteor chasing after Snivy who flew backwards.
Snivy had just stopped and stabilized his body while rolling, but before the green light could feed him back, Torchic used Quick Attack to catch up.
Torchic opened his mouth Spit Up and the fiery Ember swept towards Snivy. He himself stopped using Quick Attack due to the rapid loss of physical strength.
"Tangtang!"
The blazing Ember instantly engulfed Snivy like a prairie fire. In the violent explosion, Snivy made a painful sound, and the emerald green scales on its body Uehara also turned yellow under the high temperature of this Ember attack.
"Chamo!"
The next moment, the last green light dots flew out of Torchic's body while Growl was in pain. These green light dots returned to Snivy lying on the ground and soaked into its body.
Snivy's scales regained their luster under the green light. It weakly raised its head and used Vine Whip to support itself to stand up.
The two Pokémon looked at each other tiredly, conserving their little strength.
Chiba Taro looked nervously at the situation on the field. After all, Snivy was in really bad shape right now. He just managed to stand up with the help of Vine Whip's skills.
Xinhai was also very nervous, but he knew very clearly that they could not wait and had to break the deadlock quickly.
At this time, the hustle and bustle of the stadium seemed to have been suddenly pressed on the mute button, and only the heavy breathing of the two Pokémon echoed in the hot air.
"Torchic, Flame Charge with all your strength!" Xinhai's voice was the first to break the dead silence.
"Cha~mo"
Torchic arched his body, his originally sluggish head feathers became bright again, and the flames on his body turned into a spiral pillar of blazing fire.
Chiba Taro clenched his fists and shouted, "Use Leaf Tornado!"
"Sugar... sugar!"
Snivy used his last strength to swing the spiral emerald green energy storm bursting out from his tail and swept it towards the charging Torchic.
Upon seeing this, Xinhai stared at Torchic, clenched his fists and shouted, "Use Bounce!"
Torchic kicked the ground violently with blazing flames, jumping like a burning meteor, passing over the sweeping Leaf Tornado, and hitting the empty Snivy behind.
Chiba Taro's pupils shrank when he saw this scene, and he shouted anxiously, "Quickly block it with Vine Whip!"
Snivy looked up at Torchic falling in the air. It hurriedly threw out Vine Whip, trying to stop the falling Torchic.
However, Snivy, which had lost its force, was unable to stop Torchic, which was swooping down with Flame Charge, and could only slightly affect the downward direction of Torchic.
Under the influence of Vine Whip, Torchic did not hit Snivy directly, but landed beside Snivy. Because of the unstable landing, he rolled several times on the ring before stopping.
However, Snivy was still overturned by Heat Wave carried by Torchic. The already browned scales gave off a pungent burnt smell under the heat of the flames.
Chiba Taro was so anxious that he shouted loudly, "Snivy, stand up quickly!"
"Tangtang..."
Snivy's little hand moved at the call of Chiba Taro, trying to stand up again, but he fell down again due to excessive injuries and lost the ability to fight.
Xinhai showed a smile of victory, and Torchic sat down on the ring tiredly.
The referee raised his hands and announced loudly, "Snivy has lost the ability to fight, Torchic wins! I announce that trainer Bai Mu has advanced!"
Xinhai showed a pleased smile, and Torchic also staggered to his side. Although he was exhausted, his eyes were filled with pride.
Chiba Taro reluctantly took back Snivy, looked at Xinhai and Torchic, and secretly vowed to win it back next time.
Xinhai briefly checked Torchic and looked at the little guy who was covered in injuries but held his head high with great distress.
After a few words of encouragement to the little guy, he took it back Poké Ball and walked quickly down the stage.
Seeing Xinhai walking quickly, Yingnan's face was full of joy, and he hugged Xinhai's shoulders. "Awesome! Xinhai! You have defeated such an opponent. My heart almost jumped out of my chest just now!"
Xinhai smiled and patted Yingnan's hand away, saying, "This is all thanks to Torchic. If it hadn't been training very hard, we would have lost the second time the opponent attacked."
Yingnan nodded in agreement, thinking about the scene on the field just now, and said, "Indeed, Chiba Taro's strengthening technique is so powerful. It should be the opponent's family's skill secret book. Fortunately, the opponent has not really mastered it, otherwise it would be troublesome!"
Xinhai smiled and said helplessly, "This is the heritage of those families! Okay, I will take Torchic to Pokémon Center for treatment first. Come on!"
Yingnan patted his chest. "Don't worry! I won't be eliminated before I enter the finals!"
"Then I'm leaving!" Xinhai nodded and walked towards the door of the department store.
After watching Xinhai leave, he took out the Poké Ball from his waist, looked at the Mudkip in Poké Ball and said, "Mudkip, come on soon!"
The Poké Ball in Yingnan's hand moved, responding to Yingnan's determination to win.
In Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy has taken Torchic's Poké Ball to the treatment room for treatment. Xinhai is sitting on the bench in the waiting area, constantly replaying the battle with Chiba Taro in his mind.
The unfinished "growth" technique of the opponent Snivy gave him a lot of stimulation, and at the same time reminded him of the powerful heritage of his family's trainers.
"It seems that we have to prepare in advance, otherwise the gap in strength will become wider and wider." Xinhai murmured to himself, thinking about the training plan he designed for Torchic and Ralts.
Xinhai no longer thought about these things, but took out his notes from his pocket and started reading them. Although he didn't know his opponent in the next game, the information about those opponents was in his notebook. After reading it a few times, he would naturally have certain countermeasures.
After looking for a while, Xinhai heard someone calling him. He looked up in the direction of the sound with some confusion and found that it was Shali.
I saw Eevee wrapped in a blanket in her arms. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, but her expression was a little more relieved.
"Shali, Eevee are you okay?" Xinhai looked at Eevee in Shali's arms and asked.
Shali walked over quickly and sat down next to him. "Eevee is fine. Xinhai, how was your battle?"
Xinhai nodded, looked at the other party and said, "Don't worry, I won the battle. By the way, are you still going to watch the game today?"
Shali shook his head slightly and unconsciously stroked Eevee Limber's hair with his fingers. "I won't go today. Eevee is already very tired. I will go and cheer for you in the main competition tomorrow. You must successfully advance to the main competition!"
Xinhai smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, you guys have a good rest today, remember to cheer for us tomorrow!"
Shali nodded in agreement, said goodbye to Xinhai, and left with Eevee.
Looking at Shali's disappearing back, Xinhai scratched his head and thought: 'It seems I can only wait until tomorrow to get my bike!'
Then Xinhai continued to read the contents of the notes and prepare for the next competition.
At this time, the broadcast rang, "Trainer No. 147 Bai Mu, please come to the front desk. Your Pokémon has been treated. Please bring your identification to collect your Pokémon. Repeat,..."
Hearing his number read out on the radio, Xinhai put his notebook in his pocket, got up and walked towards the front desk.
