Chapter 393 Xiao Zhi is defeated, Xia Qiu advances to the semi-finals!
Seeing the dazzling light on the Infernape, Qingyuan was stunned.
He knew that Infernape had an evolved form, Outcast.
However, the conditions for Infernape to evolve into Forsaken are quite demanding; it requires using Rage Punch twenty times in a row to evolve.
Qingyuan had originally planned to prepare for the evolution of Primeape after the Indigo League.
Surprisingly, Ash's Primeape evolved at the Indigo League conference.
It's true that life is unpredictable; I never imagined that Ash and Primeape would have such a deep bond.
"Waaah!"
With a roar, the Forsaken Monkey, its eyes bloodshot, appeared atop the incapacitated Night Spirit.
"Primarina... evolved?!"
Looking at the abandoned monkey in the arena, Ash said with an incredulous expression.
"Dusknoir is unable to battle. Unknown Pokémon wins!"
"Xia Qiu, please send out your fourth Pokémon as soon as possible!"
Seeing the Dusknoir rendered unable to fight under the Infernape's crotch, the referee waved his flag and shouted loudly.
"Has it evolved?!"
"Come back, Wandering Night Spirit, you have done very well!"
Seeing the intimidating-looking Infernape riding on Dusty Ranger, Xia Qiu recalled Dusty Ranger.
"I choose you! Windball, use Shadowball!"
After putting away the Dusknoir Poké Ball, Xia Qiu threw out a Tadpole Poké Ball and shouted loudly.
"Huh~"
Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, as soon as the Wind Ball appeared, it launched a Shadow Ball directly at the Abandoned Monkey.
"Infernape blocked it with Rage Punch!"
Seeing the Shadow Ball hurtling towards the abandoned monkey, Ash quickly gave the monkey instructions.
"Waaah!"
Upon hearing Ash's words, the abandoned monkey clenched its right fist, quickly imbued it with Ghost-type energy, and hurled it at the Shadow Ball in front of it.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the Shadow Orb, which was drifting in the wind, was shattered in mid-air by the Forsaken Monkey.
"Initiate takeoff!"
Seeing that the Shadow Ball was ineffective against the Forsaken Monkey, Xia Qiu waved his hand and gave a command to the Wind Ball.
He refused to believe it. Did the Fighting-type Infernape lose its Fighting-type attribute after evolving?
"Huh~"
Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, Sui Fengqiu shouted and blew a gust of wind directly at the Abandoned Monkey.
Sensing the gust of wind, the abandoned monkey crossed its arms in front of it, preparing to block it.
However, it was blown over by the wind.
"Use the Air Blade now!"
Seeing this, Xia Qiu directly gave loud instructions to the Wind Ball.
"Hoohoo!"
Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, Sui Fengqiu shouted and then used its flying-type energy to condense two sharp blades, which it then attacked at the Abandoned Monkey.
"Infernape uses Rage Punch!"
Ash was puzzled, wondering if Mantis had learned any other useful Ghost-type moves.
There's nothing we can do but helplessly continue down this dark path.
"Waaah!"
Upon hearing Ash's words, Primeape roared and angrily punched the incoming air blades with both fists.
However, sometimes, having one trick up your sleeve can make you successful in everything.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the air blades of the Wind Ball were smashed to pieces by Infernape's Rage Punch.
"Use the Air Blade now!"
Just then, Xia Qiu gave another command.
Two sharp air blades shot towards the back of the Abandoned Monkey.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, two sharp blades of air, carried by the wind, struck the Abandoned Monkey directly in the back.
The damage was doubled, and the Infernape had already lost a lot of health to Dusknoir.
The Abandoned Monkey was immediately rendered incapable of fighting by the air blade strike from the Wind Ball.
"The Unknown Pokémon is unable to battle, and Driball wins!"
"Since all six of Ash's Pokémon have lost their ability to battle, the winner of this match is Xia Qiu from Rustboro City in the Hoenn region!"
I watched as the abandoned monkey, its eyes now rounded, collapsed to the ground.
The referee on the sidelines waved his command flag and shouted loudly.
"How could this be!"
Ash looked at the Forsaken, who had lost its ability to fight, with disbelief on his face.
How could the Wind Ball be so fast? In the blink of an eye, it was behind the Abandoned Monkey and used Air Blade on it.
"How can the wind-driven ball be so fast?"
Xiao Gang, standing in the stands, looked puzzled upon seeing this and murmured to himself.
"It's a magic space!"
Seeing Xiao Gang's puzzled expression, Qing Yuan explained to him.
"The magic space used by the Wandering Night Spirit hasn't dissipated yet!"
"The speed of the wind-borne ball is slower than that of the abandoned monkey!"
"Because of the shampoo space, the speed of the abandoned monkey has become the speed of a wind-borne ball!"
"The speed of the Wind Ball became the speed of the Abandoned Monkey. This addition and subtraction allowed the Wind Ball to run so quickly behind the Abandoned Monkey, and the Abandoned Monkey didn't have time to react!"
After saying that, Qingyuan looked at the light wall left in the magic space in the arena, stroked his chin, and fell into deep thought.
It seems that the Trick Room tactic can also be used on Slowking.
You need to pair it with two slow Pokémon to work in tandem with Slowking.
"A magic space?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang looked at the remaining light wall in the magic space on the sidelines and, like Qing Yuan, fell into deep thought.
I just heard Qingyuan say that this tactic is for those slow Pokémon.
So, can this tactic also be used at Pewter Dojo?
……
"Come back, Infernape, you've done a great job!"
Seeing the Forsaken lying on the ground with its eyes turned into circles, Ash took out its Poké Ball and recalled it to comfort it.
"Honestly, I thought we could beat Xia Qiu and advance to the semifinals!"
After putting Abandoned Monkey's Poké Ball away, Ash glanced at Xia Qiu opposite him and sighed with some regret.
The main reason was that the previous rampage by the Inferno Monkey against the Night Spirit gave him the illusion that he could defeat Xia Qiu.
If Abandoned hadn't so decisively defeated Dusknoir, Ash probably wouldn't be so disappointed now.
"Come back, Windball, you did a great job!"
After hearing the referee's words, Xia Qiu also pulled back the ball and encouraged him.
"Well done, Ash! I almost lost to you!"
After putting away the Poké Ball in the Wind Ball, Xia Qiu came to Ash's side and said to him with a smile.
"Xia Qiu, the way you talk is really irritating!"
Hearing Xia Qiu's words, Xiao Zhi looked up at Xia Qiu and said with a displeased expression.
"Hahahahaha!"
Hearing Xiao Zhi's words, Xia Qiu didn't pay any attention and just laughed out loud.
