In order to prevent Murkrow from escaping, Torchic used all his strength to smash the rock pillar in front of him, causing Rock Tomb's skills to scatter out in a network, blocking all his escape routes.
"Hurry up and use Wing Attack to protect yourself!" Jiro Hayama stood on the sidelines, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water was dripping from his face, and he shouted instructions.
Murkrow quickly used the Wing Attack skill, and the sky-blue Flying type energy was like flowing satin, covering the dark wings.
Immediately afterwards, it crossed Dual Wingbeat in front of it, forming a solid defense Barrier.
However, Torchic's Rock Tomb came fiercely. Dozens of rocks with a sharp sound of breaking through the air hit Murkrow's defense Barrier heavily.
"Gah!" Murkrow let out a shrill scream, and its defense was instantly shattered. Its body fell from mid-air like a kite with its string broken.
"Torchic, Flame Charge rush forward!" Xinhai seized this excellent opportunity and waved his arms and shouted loudly.
Fire Torchic was ignited with raging flames, and the hot flames wrapped it into a dazzling fireball, rushing towards Murkrow who landed on the ground.
Jiro Hayama's face became more and more ugly, and he shouted loudly, "Murkrow, stand up quickly!"
Murkrow flapped its wings desperately, trying to fly again. But the severe pain from its right wing made it whine in pain, and it fell heavily to the ground as soon as it left the ground.
Xinhai looked carefully and saw two sharp rocks piercing deeply into Murkrow's dusty right wing. The bright red blood stains were particularly dazzling on the dark feathers.
Jiro Hayama also noticed the injury of Murkrow, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and shouted loudly, "Murkrow, use Haze quickly!"
Murkrow endured the pain and quickly flapped his left wing. In an instant, a cold black mist filled the air and swept towards Torchic.
Xinhai's eyes were firm and he ordered without hesitation, "Don't worry about it. Charge forward, Torchic!"
"Chamo!" Torchic let out a loud cry, its speed increased again, and the flames around it surged, like a burning meteor, rushing into Haze.
The blazing flames dispersed Haze, enveloping the scorching air current, and rushed towards Murkrow who was hiding inside.
"Murkrow, use Wing Attack!" Jiro Hayama was unwilling to fail and roared at the top of his lungs.
Murkrow barely condensed the sky-blue Flying type energy on its wings, and the sharp energy was like a sharp blade. However, the flames around Torchic were stretched into a spiral shape in Agility, like a burning spiral spear, thrust towards Murkrow's Wing Attack.
Murkrow's shrill cry was swallowed up by the explosion. The sky-blue energy covering its wings shattered inch by inch, and the powerful impact knocked it away.
Accompanied by flying burnt yellow and black feathers, Murkrow fell heavily to the ground, and there was no more movement.
After the countdown, the referee announced, "Murkrow has lost the ability to fight, Torchic wins! I announce that trainer Bai Mu has advanced!"
The audience burst into applause like Thunderclap, and the players in the waiting area also applauded Xinhai, while secretly keeping this strong opponent in their hearts.
Xinhai breathed a long sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face, and walked quickly towards Torchic who was tired but still held his head proudly.
He carefully checked the condition of Torchic, and after confirming that it was not seriously injured, he gently picked it up, turned around and walked off the ring.
Jiro Hayama, with a gloomy face, took back the unconscious Murkrow without saying a word, and hurriedly left the department store.
Xinhai had just returned to the waiting area and was about to give Torchic a brief treatment when an enthusiastic voice came from behind. "Hello, the battle was wonderful. My name is Kato Yun! Nice to meet you!"
Xinhai turned around and saw a sunny and handsome boy stretching out his right hand towards him. It was the trainer of that special Charmander, Kato Yun.
Xinhai was startled for a moment, then stretched out his hand to shake his hand. "Um, hello, my name is Xinhai Bai Mu!"
Kato Yun smiled and said, "Your Torchic is very powerful. It actually beat Jiro Hayama's Murkrow. His Murkrow has a very unique special talent."
'Special talent? Probably the special Prankster Ability, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the other parties Taunt and Tailwind are so unusual!'
Xinhai looked at the other person, unable to guess his purpose for a while, but still responded politely, "Thank you for the compliment, your Pokémon is not weak either. What do you want to see me for?"
Kato Yun scratched his head and said with a smile, "No, no, I just think you and your partner are very powerful and want to make friends with you."
Xinhai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's add Pokédex as a friend! I will give Torchic a brief treatment in a while, and we can talk after the treatment."
Torchic also looked at Kato Yun and shouted, "Qiamo!"
Only then did Kato Yun react and quickly took out Pokédex from his pocket. "Oh! Sorry, sorry! Then you treat him first, and we'll talk next time."
Xinhai scanned the information code on the screen of the other party's Pokédex with his Pokédex. With a "beep" sound, the friend application interface of the two's Pokédex popped up.
When Xinhai confirmed the friend application, he noticed Kato Yun's avatar - a young man holding Charmander with a bright smile, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
The atmosphere at the contestants' table also became more relaxed because of this scene. Other contestants Copycat and added each other as friends, and the originally depressing atmosphere was swept away.
Xinhai returned to his seat, took out Potion Spray from his backpack, and carefully treated the small wounds on Torchic's body. After finishing the treatment, he gently touched Torchic's little head and gave a few words of gentle encouragement.
Torchic happily rubbed his hand with his head, and then was taken back Poké Ball to rest.
After taking Torchic back to Poké Ball to let him rest for a while, Xinhai looked at the players around him who started to gather together to chat, and then looked at Kato Yun.
I found that he was also chatting, but after all, I was not a social cow, so I didn't go to the other party directly. Instead, I sent a message to Yingnan, telling him the news of the win, and then looked at the battle in the ring.
This match is a contest between Growlithe and Gastly. Growlithe is in the ring, using the skills of Odor Sleuth to find traces of Gastly, while Gastly uses his racial talent to hide himself.
In the end, Gastly was found by Growlithe, and was attacked by Flame Charge from Growlithe, losing its ability to fight.
(In the real world of Pokémon, Gastly is restrained by Fire-type Pokémon. After all, Gastly is a thin gas-like life form. It never Born from Poison Gas, 95% of the body is Poison Gas. From this, you can imagine the scene where Gastly is hit by the skill attack of Fire type.)
Except for the battle between Gastly and Growlithe, which was considered one-sided, the remaining battles were very intense, allowing Xinhai to have a general understanding of the strength of the remaining players in the third arena.
He recorded all this important information in his notebook. Similarly, he noticed that several other players were doing the same thing.
After the sixth round of the battle, the host appeared again and began to inform the arrangements for tomorrow's battle.
"Dear viewers, the preliminaries of the Challenger League are over here. First of all, let us congratulate the players who have advanced!"
"Our main game will start tomorrow. The main game schedule is one day. The draw will start at 8 o'clock tomorrow, and the battle will officially begin at 8:30! Please don't be late for the contestants. Being late for three minutes will be treated as a forfeit."
"The top eight players in the battle tomorrow will receive our rewards, and the champion will get a Top-grade Evolution Stone, so all players are asked to try their best and don't leave any regrets."
"Okay, I've finished what I have to say. We'll see the performance of the players tomorrow! Now everyone can go back and have a good rest. See you tomorrow!"
As the host walked off the stage, the audience also left one after another. Xinhai had just walked not far after carrying his backpack when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Brother Xinhai Bai Mu, right? Do you want to buy information?" A handsome young man appeared in front of him, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Xinhai looked at the handsome young man in front of him and asked, "Is this the information about the challenger players?"
With a smile on his face, the young man took out a brand new notebook from his bag and said, "Exactly. This contains the Pokémon skill configuration and common tactics of all the players who advanced to the main competition, and even some of their weaknesses are marked."
Xinhai thought for a while and said, "I want to see if the content is true first."
"Of course you can, but you can only read it for a minute." The boy handed the notebook to Xinhai and said.
Xinhai took the notebook and quickly opened the first page. The paper still had the fragrance of ink, and the information of trainer Growlithe was recorded neatly in handwriting. "Makino Yosuke, Makino Family's second son, Growlithe's skills: Leer, Ember..." He quickly turned the page and found that the information was not only detailed, but also very accurate.
Even the information about him and Yingnan is clearly listed. This information was just shown by them in the battle. It is impossible for the fraud to be so accurate.
"It's time." The boy reached out to take back the notebook.
Xinhai returned the notebook, looked at the other person and asked, "How much does it cost?"
"Five thousand League Coin." The corner of the boy's mouth raised a proud smile, "This is exclusive information. There is no store like this after passing this village."
Xinhai chuckled, "One thousand League Coin."
The young man was stunned for a moment and sneered, "One thousand, why don't you go and grab it!"
Xinhai looked at the other party and said calmly, "Sugimoto Hideo is my friend, he must have bought it too! I can totally follow his, there is no need to buy yours!"
The young man's face froze for a moment, and then he asked suspiciously, "Then you asked me the price, are you lying to me?"
Xinhai shook his head, turned around and left. "Believe it or not, it's up to you, one thousand League Coin, you can sell it or not!"
"Hey, hey, brother, don't leave! Who said I won't sell it? One thousand is just one thousand, I'll sell it to you." The young man stopped him quickly.
