Sand and dust surged in the field, and Sora Takeuchi frowned slightly. Geodude Ability of Yosuke Kuroiwa is Sand Veil, so the opponent almost always fought under the cover of sand and dust in the challenge, and most of the other players were defeated by this very simple and practical combination of punches.

"Treecko, use Magical Leaf and Quick Attack catches up!" Sora Takeuchi's voice was firm and clear.

Treecko put his hands together, and a faint fluorescence lit up in his palms, condensing three emerald green leaves, which shot out in the direction of Geodude Rollout.

At the same time, Treecko turned into a white light, following closely behind like an arrow from a string.

When Yosuke Kuroiwa saw this, he frowned imperceptibly and decisively ordered, "Charge up and crush them!"

Magical Leaf dragged the streamer towards Geodude. Geodude dexterously changed direction in the sand and dust, and crashed towards Magical Leaf at a faster speed.

Magical Leaf hit Geodude at high speed Rollout, but was knocked down in vain and scattered to the ground, without causing any substantial damage to Geodude.

Between Spark, when Quick Attack of Treecko was about to touch Geodude, Sora Takeuchi shouted loudly, "Rock Smash!"

"Just right!"

Treecko's hind legs suddenly exerted force, following the momentum of Quick Attack, the body turned dexterously, and the thick tail was covered with fiery red Fighting type energy, like a steel whip that broke through the air, and was thrown hard at Geodude.

Red's lustful energy carried huge potential energy and hit Geodude's rocky body heavily.

"Exactly!!!" Geodude, who was whipped away, let out a painful Growl.

Seeing Geodude being knocked away, Yosuke Kuroiwa's pupils shrank suddenly. He thought he could rely on Rollout's strength to continuously consume his opponent's physical strength.

Unexpectedly, Geodude was knocked straight away by this blow. After landing, he rolled over for more than ten meters. He did not stop until he hit the energy wall at the edge of the ring. Fine cracks appeared on the originally hard rock on his body.

Yosuke Kuroiwa looked at Geodude with a look of pain on his face, and clenched his hands involuntarily, only to hear him order, "Geodude, use Rock Slide!"

"Hey Cha!"

Geodude endured the pain and hit the ground hard. In an instant, countless rocks gathered around it, and under its control, they smashed towards Treecko like raindrops.

Sora Takeuchi had a sharp gaze, glanced at the position of the two Pokémon and Yosuke Kuroiwa on the ring, and shouted loudly, "Treecko, Quick Attack move left, Bullet Seed resists the attack!"

Treecko rushed towards the left side where there were few rocks like silver lightning, spitting out dense Bullet Seed from its mouth to meet the flying rocks.

Explosions came one after another, and the dust and grass intertwined and filled the air, forming a hazy haze that obscured the audience's sight and also blocked Yosuke Kuroiwa's sight.

Yosuke Kuroiwa ran to the left and shouted, "Geodude, Defense Curl plus Rollout!"

Geodude's body surface glowed with white light, and its huge body instantly curled up into a perfect sphere. The white luster of Normal type flowed on the rock surface.

Not only that, the small cracks on Geodude's body are also slowly eliminated under this white luster.

Then, Geodude was like a roller that never stops, using the dust mist raised by Rock Slide, it hit the direction where Treecko disappeared at high speed.

"Quick Attack, get away!" Sora Takeuchi shouted loudly.

Treecko used his keen hearing to capture the sound of Rollout, and quickly performed Quick Attack under the command, barely evading Geodude's Tackle.

However, Geodude did not stop, he turned flexibly on the ring and continued Pursuit.

"Bullet Seed!" Sora Takeuchi ordered again.

Treecko sprayed out seeds in a continuous stream, but when they hit the rotating shell of Geodude, they were bounced away one after another.

Yosuke Kuroiwa looked at this scene, doubts arose in his heart, and he continued to run to the left, looking at Sora Takeuchi, but saw the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his expression seemed to be expecting something.

Instantly, a bad premonition came to Yosuke Kuroiwa's heart.

The next moment, Geodude in Rollout seemed to be caught by something, and its huge body suddenly flew into the air.

Treecko, who was using Quick Attack in front, also stopped in advance, waiting for Geodude who was about to fall.

Yosuke Kuroiwa's pupils shrank, and he watched in despair as Treecko flicked its Rock Smash skill again, hitting Geodude who was falling in front of it.

"Just right"

The moment Geodude fell from the sky, Treecko's tail that had been preparing for a long time was thrown out like thunder, hitting it accurately.

The violent impact made the air crack, Geodude dragged a trail of gravel like a meteorite, and slammed into the protective Barrier at the edge of the ring.

The energy wall rippled slightly under the intense Tackle. After Geodude briefly stagnated on Barrier, it fell weakly, and its huge body hit the center of the ring heavily.

"It's so exciting! Geodude was caught by something and suddenly flew up. Treecko seized the opportunity and hit Rock Smash again! Can Geodude still stand up?" the host's excited voice echoed throughout the venue.

Yosuke Kuroiwa looked at the falling Geodude, digging his nails into his palms. "How could this happen?" As he said that, he looked at the position where Geodude was tripped up, and found that there was a group of green grass where Geodude was tripped up.

Yosuke Kuroiwa looked at the grass and was stunned for a moment, then said with some realization, "This is, fight...Grass Knot!" His words stopped suddenly, and his mind flashed back to the time when Treecko used Bullet Seed to attack Geodude not long ago.

'That's right, how could the other party, a family heir who specializes in Grass type, not know that Rollout in Defense Curl state, such a small-power long-range skill is useless!'

'I was too careless and did not warn Geodude. At that time, Treecko seemed to be attacking Geodude, but in fact, under the cover of the dust in the sky, this fatal trap had already been laid on the path that Geodude must pass.'

Yosuke Kuroiwa looked at the motionless Geodude and knew that he had lost. Even if Geodude had not lost his fighting ability, his winning rate was less than 10%, so he did nothing else.

The referee finished the countdown and announced loudly, "Geodude has lost the ability to fight! Treecko wins! Sora Takeuchi player advances!" Thunderous cheers erupted in the venue.

At the contestants' table, Yingnan exclaimed, "This Sora Takeuchi's Treecko is really not easy. He defeated Geodude in just a few moves."

Xinhai looked at the two people on the field and said, "It is indeed very powerful. The opponent used Treecko's tail to perform Rock Smash's technique. He must have gone through a lot of training, otherwise he would not be able to perform it so smoothly."

Yingnan suddenly sighed, "I'm not afraid that the other party has resources. What I'm afraid of is that the other party still has talent, ideas, and works very hard despite having resources! This will be very troublesome!"

Just as Xinhai was about to express his approval, he heard the host's passionate voice Infiltrator shouting, "Dear viewers! The second game of the second round of the main competition - Xinhai player versus Maruyama Takumi player, please two players come on stage!"

The boiling venue instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes focused on the information about the two people on the big screen.

On the judges' bench, Nurse Joy also looked seriously at Xinhai on the contestants' bench, looking forward to Xinhai's wonderful performance in this battle.

Xinhai stood up from his seat and smiled at Yingnan, "I'm going up first!"

Yingnan nodded and said, "Be careful, Maruyama Takumi's Growlithe has very strong physical fitness, and the flame intensity is also very high. Don't go head-to-head with the opponent."

Xinhai nodded and walked towards the ring.

When he came to the ring, he looked at Maruyama Takumi across from him, and Xinhai nodded slightly as a greeting. Upon seeing this, the opponent also nodded towards Xinhai.

Subsequently, under the referee's instruction, Xinhai and Maruyama Takumi threw their own Poké Ball at the same time.

"Go! Torchic!" "Come out and fight! Growlithe!"

"Chamo~"

A red light flashed, and Torchic spread its wings and landed lightly. The feathers on its head were like burning flames, and let out a crisp cry; Growlithe shook its hair and let out a loud bark, full of momentum. Torchic saw this and took half a step back unconsciously.

"Torchic, don't be afraid!" Xinhai shouted in time.

When Torchic heard Xinhai's voice, he stared at the other party closely, and the timidity in his eyes was replaced by fighting spirit.

"The battle... begins!" The referee waved his flag.

"Growlithe, Flame Charge!" Maruyama Takumi took the lead in ordering.

The orange flames all over Growlithe surged, riding on the scorching air waves, rushing towards Torchic like a burning fireball.

"Torchic, use Flame Charge to the left!" Xinhai responded calmly.

Torchic's orange-red feathers moved automatically without wind, and his whole body ignited with orange flames, and he nimbly dodged to the left. Two flames wrapped in high temperature passed by him, but Growlithe turned around quickly and followed closely.

"Ember shoots continuously!" Xinhai shouted loudly.

Torchic turned around suddenly, and with the blessing of Flame Charge, the sparks sprayed from his mouth poured down on Growlithe like a heavy rain.

"Ignore it and rush forward, Fire Fang!" Maruyama Takumi shouted.

Growlithe galloped against the sparks, its sharp teeth covered with blazing flames, looking hideous and terrifying.

Torchic's Ember attack hit it, leaving only some burn marks, completely unable to stop its offensive.

Xinhai looked at the opponent's charging Growlithe and had a headache. The physical quality of this Growlithe was indeed terrifying, and the same skills as Type had almost no effect on it.

Looking at Growlithe who was about to catch up with Torchic, Xinhai quickly ordered, "Quick Attack get rid of him!"

Torchic's whole body glowed with white light, and his speed surged instantly, rushing forward like a rocket.

Growlithe jumped into the air, and its inertia caused it to create a half-circle of scorch marks on the ring, with gravel flying everywhere along with flying sparks.

There were exclamations one after another from the audience, and the host shouted excitedly, "What a fast speed! Torchic used Quick Attack to perfectly avoid Growlithe's close approach!"

Seeing that Maruyama Takumi missed a hit, he frowned, looked at Xinhai Bai Mu and thought: 'This is troublesome, the speed of Growlithe and Torchic is so different. Growlithe's physical fitness is definitely better than Torchic is stronger, not to mention that the physical fitness of my own Growlithe is far superior to that of the same kind. But why is it still not as fast as the opponent? With this speed gap, the probability of hitting it even with long-range skills is not high! No, no, how can you know the result if you haven't tried it yet!'

Maruyama Takumi, who thought of this, ordered Growlithe: "Growlithe, continue to use Flame Charge Pursuit, and when you get closer, use Flamethrower!"
