Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 643 Butterfree vs Blastoise! ​​Will it hurt if the electric current hits someone?
At 1:38 p.m., in the backstage of the Gongmen Arena, there were still 22 minutes before the start of the game.

Naoki folded his arms, leaning against the wall, watching a high-level Pokémon battle going on on the screen.

Hercules vs Geranium.

At the beginning, even though there was a restraint in the attributes, the Geranium trainer still relied on the well-trained Geranium to fight Heracross on equal terms, and neither side had the upper hand.

In a Pokémon battle, any change in the decision made by the trainer will often lead to drastic changes in the situation on the field.

Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, Geranium's trainer immediately changed his strategy and ordered Geranium to use poison powder on Heracross, trying to engage in a protracted battle with him.

It turned out to be a very good decision.

Geranium can completely delay the fight with Heracross by relying on photosynthesis.

But here's where the problem arises.

[Poison Powder] hit successfully, and while Heracross was poisoned, a light full of determination flashed in his eyes.

Its characteristics are triggered!
Perseverance: If it becomes abnormal, the Pokémon will use its perseverance to increase its attack.

Heracross's trainer seized this good opportunity and immediately gave Heracross the order to use [Super Horn Attack].

The huge insect horn, like a ship's rudder, pierced deeply into the geranium's body.

Geranium cried out in pain, but was unable to get up again.

There was loud applause from the audience.

Naoki nodded. It was indeed a high-level battle!

It looks like a fight of back and forth, much more exciting than those ordinary battles.

Then, it's his turn to appear.

His first match in the World Championships is a 2v2 doubles match, and Naoki plans to send Butterfree and Motor Lizard out.

Butterfree acts as the forward, while Motorbike is used to cover the back.

The Motorcycle Lizard has eaten birthday cakes many times now, and it has been training very hard. Its strength is no longer what it used to be, so it should have no problem participating in high-level battles.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you lose, other Pokémon can just bring your ranking back later.

Naoki stood up and prepared to wait at the contestants' entrance.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded behind me.

Naoki turned around and saw two familiar figures walking in from outside.

Walking in front was a tall and cool woman wearing a black windbreaker and with long golden hair.

Behind him was a man with short silver hair, and his every move and gesture revealed the aura of a wealthy nobleman.

That is... Sirona and Daigo?
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other and stood there in a daze.

"Mr. Naoki?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Sirona and Daigo spoke in unison.

After saying that, the two looked at each other again, and the expressions in their eyes seemed to say: You also know Mr. Naoki?

Naoki was the first to react, and took the initiative to greet the two of them: "What a coincidence, I just heard from Dan Di yesterday that you had arrived, and I didn't expect to meet you today."

Naoki was not surprised that the two appeared in this place, because he knew that during competitions of other levels, master-level trainers would occasionally have a battle.

The winner will advance to the previous position, while the loser will drop down in the ranking.

"Are you here to participate in the World Championships as well?" Daigo asked with a little surprise.

Naoki smiled and nodded: "Of course."

Hearing this, Daigo and Sirona both showed a strange look in their eyes.

This year's eight masters look interesting.

At this time, a message came from the radio asking the players to get ready for the game.

Naoki finally came back to his senses and said to the two of them, "Oh, by the way, my game is about to start, let's talk after it's over!"

Mr. Naoki's competition?
Sirona and Daigo were startled, and then thought of the powerful Pokémon around each other.

I wonder which Pokémon Mr. Naoki will send out today...

The two of them were filled with anticipation.

Naoki said goodbye to Sirona and Daigo, then turned and walked into the contestant entrance.

Palace Gate Arena.

Neon lights illuminate the huge venue. Because Gigantamax battles will be held here, the entire arena is built very large, comparable to a large football field.

At the boundary between the stadium and the audience seats, there is a very advanced energy shield to prevent the energy aftermath generated by Pokémon battles from harming the surrounding audience.

Even the underground is fully covered. Here, Pokémon can use earthquakes or other powerful moves to their heart's content without having to worry about affecting the audience.

It can be said that in the world, if the Gongmen Arena is second to none in terms of luxury, no one dares to claim to be first.

The auditorium was already filled with spectators who had gathered from all over the world. Dan Di mixed into the crowd, staring at the arena below with an excited look in his eyes.

Naoki's game is about to begin!

Amid the cheers of the audience, the commentator held the microphone and said loudly:

"Then let us invite the two contestants to the next match!"

"First up is the trainer from the Padia region, Naoki!"

A beam of light poured down from overhead, and Naoki slowly walked out of the passage.

"Next, let us welcome the trainer from the Kanto region, Ms. Tian Mei!"

The lights flickered, illuminating the contestants' entrance at the other end.

A beautiful girl in a pink miniskirt and a bow on her head walked out of the passage with high morale.

The two came to the center of the arena and shook hands with each other before the game.

Naoki: "Please give me your guidance!"

Tian Mei has already taken out the Poké Ball: "Come on! My Pokémon and I have gone through so much hardship to get here, we will never fall down here so easily!"

"The rules of this game are 2v2 singles battles! Each person is limited to using two Pokémon. The game will end when all Pokémon on either side lose their combat capabilities!"

"call out!"

The referee blew the whistle, announcing the official start of the match.

Both sides threw the Poké Balls in their hands at the same time.

"Go! Blastoise!"

With two flashes of white light, a strong and ferocious Blastoise with bulging muscles landed on the battlefield with a bang.

"It's Blastoise!" The commentator said quickly: "The Pokémon used by Ms. Tian Mei is Blastoise! ​​Look at the appearance of this Blastoise, look at its muscles, it has been bred to be very strong! I wonder what Pokémon will be used by contestant Naoki..."

The commentator turned around and saw a small, cute-looking Pokémon right across from Blastoise.

That is……

"Butterfree! Naoki's Pokémon is Butterfree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the game on the field had already begun.

"Bluse, water cannon!" Tian Mei's command style is as domineering and direct as Blastoise's appearance. She goes straight for it right from the start.

The turbulent water flow madly gathered in the barrels behind Blastoise, and the two white barrels almost seemed to explode.

"boom!"

An extremely strong stream of water shot out from the hole, like a water dragon, roaring and rushing towards Butterfree.

"Tsk, isn't this too direct and rude?" Naoki felt a little embarrassed. The appearance and command style of the trainer opposite him were totally inconsistent.

However, the opponent overlooked one point. The water cannon move could not be fired instantly, which meant that the opponent had plenty of time to react.

"Get out of the way!" Naoki said.

Butterfree flapped its wings and flew upwards, and the water cannon passed under its body.

It's their turn to fight back!

"Hypnotic powder!" Naoki said in a deep voice.

"Fuyi!"

Suddenly, crystal powder filled the sky and floated in all directions with Butterfree as the center.

"Bluse, spin at high speed!" Tian Mei was not afraid. Her Blastoise had already experienced countless battles and naturally had the experience to deal with this kind of move.

When the Blastoise spins at high speed, everything around it will be bounced away, and the hypnotic powder will also be dispersed by the airflow generated by the high-speed rotation.

In this way, no matter whether it is hypnotic powder, paralysis powder or poison powder, it will not be able to affect the Blastoise!

Pokémon like Butterfree don't have many means of attack, and once it is attacked by several powder-based moves, their effects won't be effective.

Then the outcome of this battle is already determined!

As expected, the high-speed spinning Blastoise was like a small gyroscope, isolating all the hypnotic powder around it and flying all the way up towards Butterfree.

Butterfree, which was using hypnotic powder, had no way to avoid it. Its body, floating in the air, was knocked away by the high-speed spinning Blastoise and fell to the ground in a mess.

"That's it!" Tian Mei was full of fighting spirit.

"Butterfree!" Naoki frowned. This trainer named Tian Mei is quite smart!
"Furry!" Butterfree staggered and flew up again, telling Naoki that he was fine. "It's over! Naoki's Butterfree's moves were completely seen through by Blastoise! ​​Butterfree is at a disadvantage!" the commentator said excitedly.

In the audience, Dantei couldn't help but worry about Naoki.

As far as he knew, Butterfree was just an ordinary Pokémon in Naoki's ranch. It rarely participated in Pokémon battles on a daily basis. Could such a Pokémon be a match for the well-trained Blastoise?
"Let's defeat the opponent in one fell swoop!" Tian Mei looked at Butterfree and realized that the opponent might not have a way to deal with Blastoise. Therefore, she planned to end the battle in one go, "Water Gun!"

A violent stream of water gushed out of Blastoise's barrel, turning into a stream of water that suddenly sprayed towards Butterfree.

Naoki realized the danger, and the moment Tian Mei gave the order, he quickly commanded: "Butterfree, get out of the way!"

Butterfree reacted subconsciously and dodged the water gun in time.

"No, no, we will lose if we continue like this." Naoki calmly thought about how to break the deadlock.

Like other Pokémon on the ranch, Butterfree has been nourished by life-giving goat milk for a long time, and its physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary Butterfree.

But this can only allow Butterfree to withstand Blastoise's attacks a few more times...

Since hypnotic powder, paralysis powder and poison powder are restrained, Butterfree now only has the remaining moves such as Wind Rising, Telekinesis, Electric Net, Silver Tornado, Ultrasonic Wave, Insect Chirping and Butterfly Dance.

What about just relying on the power grid's attribute restraint to launch an attack?

Faced with a thick-skinned Blastoise, it might take several attempts to defeat it.

While he was thinking, Blastoise's water gun attacked again.

Butterfree narrowly avoided it.

"Fuyi!"

Butterfree clearly felt that the opponent's overall strength far exceeded his own.

But even so, it doesn't want to give up easily!

When it was still a Caterpillar, it came to Naoki Ranch in order to become stronger. After evolving into Butterfree, it began to live a peaceful life with everyone.

But now, it also wants to reach the top with its trainer like other Pokémon!
Butterfree is full of fighting spirit.

At this moment, a possible way to turn defeat into victory suddenly emerged in Naoki's mind.

He quickly said, "Butterfield Butterfree, Ultrasonic!"

"Fuyi!"

A strange buzzing sound came out of Butterfree's mouth. Blastoise wanted to continue using the water gun, but the next second, a wave of ultrasound penetrated into its ears.

Suddenly, Blastoise felt his brain buzzing.

Ultrasound? Tian Mei frowned: "Bluse Turtle, stay awake!"

"Don't give it a chance, take this opportunity and use the hypnotic powder!" Naoki was betting that Blastoise would be unable to use its moves because of the confusion!
"Bluse, spin at high speed!" Tian Mei tried to continue spinning at high speed to resist the hypnotic powder.

At this moment, all the audience held their breath and stared at the Blastoise without blinking.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The Blastoise never used its high-speed spin. It grabbed its head with both hands and tried to quiet the sound by knocking its head.

But no matter how hard it tried, the sound still wreaked havoc in it.

Then, Blastoise did something that no one expected.

It clenched its fist and smashed it hard on its head.

"Blade Turtle!" Tian Mei frowned.

Hearing the trainer's voice, Blastoise barely woke up, but the next second, it couldn't help yawning, and a strong sense of sleepiness swept over it.

"Don't sleep! Hold on!" Tian Mei tried to wake up Blastoise, but the huge amount of sleeping powder made Blastoise fall into a deep sleep.

"Oh my God! The situation has reversed! Ultrasonic wave! I didn't expect that this easily overlooked move would play such a big role here. It's wonderful, so wonderful!" The commentator was very excited.

"But the problem is that Blastoise is a Pokémon that is notoriously tough and thick-skinned. If Butterfree can't defeat it in one move, then Blastoise, which has regained consciousness after being attacked, will definitely not make the same mistake again..."

Everyone concentrated and held their breath, watching the battle on the field nervously.

However, to everyone's surprise, Naoki did not attack Blastoise.

"Butterfree, perform Butterfly Dance again!" Naoki said in a deep voice. Just now, he had let Butterfree secretly use Butterfly Dance while Blastoise was resisting.

And with just a few more times, Butterfree's special attack, speed and special defense can be raised to the limit.

By then, the power of the power grid will be qualitatively improved.

By then, it will not be so easy for Blastoise to win the battle.

On the field, Butterfree flapped its wings and performed a mysterious and beautiful dance. The crystal scales in the sky floated slowly like stars, and a strange power spread upwards.

"This is amazing! Naoki is actually letting Butterfree accumulate strength! Is he planning to defeat Blastoise in one fell swoop after accumulating enough strength? Can they succeed?"

Tian Mei also noticed Butterfree's movements at this time, and she immediately shouted: "Blottus, wake up! Wake up!"

After the second Butterfly Dance was used, Naoki said, "Go on, another Butterfly Dance!"

"Fuyi!"

Butterfree began to dance again.

The entire arena seemed to have become a stage for one of its Pokémon.

At this moment, Blastoise seemed to have heard the trainer's call, and its muscular and thick arms moved.

Seeing the reaction of Blastoise, Tian Mei was delighted and continued, "Blostoke, come on!"

Blastoise's fingers moved and he was about to wake up.

At this time, the third Butterfly Dance had ended, and Naoki immediately started to let Butterfree use the fourth time.

Butterfree's power has accumulated to a terrifying level.

"Bluse!" Tian Mei shouted.

The sleeping Blastoise heard the trainer's call and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Blustode is awake!"

Tian Mei was pleasantly surprised. She did not hesitate and immediately gave the order: "Bluse Turtle, water cannon!"

Blastoise had reacted by now, and it looked solemnly at Butterfree across from it, its eyes filled with anger of being tricked.

With a "bang", the barrel was erected high, and the surging water gathered inside, aiming at Butterfree who was performing Butterfly Dance.

The next second, a thick column of water shot out from the hole.

Just one second before it was about to hit, Butterfree's fourth Butterfly Dance was completed.

But at the same time, its body was blown away by the water cannon and hit the energy protection shield at the edge of the venue heavily.

"Too greedy?" Naoki frowned: "Butterfield Butterfree!"

"Oh my god! Butterfree was hit by the water cannon!" The commentator's voice sounded at the same time: "Can Butterfree stand up?"

As everyone knows, Pokémon like Butterfree have a natural disadvantage in terms of physical strength. Ordinary Butterfree would never be able to stand up again after enduring the water gun and water cannon of a Blastoise of the same level.

Not to mention that there is an obvious gap in strength between Butterfree and Blastoise.

But even so, there are still people hoping for a miracle to happen.

The referee is paying attention to Butterfree's condition. Once he finds that Butterfree can no longer get up, he will step forward and announce the result of the battle.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The image of the first time it met Naoki suddenly appeared in Butterfree's mind.

At that time, Naoki took it in, made delicious food for it, and gently helped it to become stronger.

Although it may not be the most important Pokémon to Naoki, to it, Naoki is the most important human companion around it!
So, it can't fall! It also wants to become stronger! Win this battle with Naoki!
Butterfree staggered to its feet again, and slowly flew into the air under the gaze of millions of viewers.

"Oh my God! Butterfree held on! It actually survived Blastoise's water cannon!" the commentator was shocked.

"Butterfree..." Naoki was slightly startled, and then he understood what Butterfree was thinking. A smile appeared on his face, and then he said, "I understand. I understand your intention, Butterfree."

In that case, let them perform the final show!
"Can you hold on?" Tian Mei's eyes were determined to win. She had already seen that Butterfree was fighting desperately: "But, it's over! Blastoise, Water Gun!"

"Butterfree, use that move!"

The command was given, and the two Pokémon on the field responded at the same time.

Blastoise raised its cannon high, aimed at Butterfree, and a violent stream of water surged out.

However, Butterfree did not use its moves immediately. Instead, it used its compound eyes to closely stare at Blastoise's movements.

At the moment when the water gun was rushing towards him, Butterfree flapped its wings and the water gun flew past quickly, brushing against its wings.

Avoided!
Everyone was shocked.

However, the next second, an even more shocking scene appeared.

I saw a strong and dazzling yellow light bursting out from the body of Butterfree.

That is... electric current!
What's going on?! That Butterfree can actually use electric moves?!
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Butterfree's power exploded to the limit. The originally ordinary electric grid condensed into an overwhelming net at this moment, pressing down on Blastoise.

At this moment, the Dan Emperor in the audience stood up suddenly, staring at the scene with excitement.

Sure enough, Naoki would not let him down!

That move, that move...is the electric grid!

That Butterfree can actually use electric currents!
