Chapter 897: Fighting Ayaka Again

"Come out, Pumpkin Man!"

Once again, she faced off against Ayaka, and this time she brought out a new Pokémon to fight against Xiaozhi! The one she sent out was the same Pumpkin Monster as the one Musashi had, but compared to the extra-large size of Musashi's, Ayaka's was just a normal size, and more balanced in all aspects!

This made Musashi very excited. She shouted excitedly: "Wow, Ayaka is really discerning! She actually chose my favorite Pumpkin Monster!" After saying that, she gave Ayaka an admiring look.

In this case, Xiaozhi was not polite. He confidently took a Poké Ball from his waist and shouted loudly: "Butterfly, it's decided to be you!"

With a flash of red light, the Emerald Butterfly appeared above the stadium. Its wings spread out in the exact pattern of the Poké Ball, and the audience at the scene immediately became excited, with cheers rising one after another.

After all, everyone here is a trainer, who doesn’t like Poké Balls?

"Pumpkin Monster, use Halloween!"

After hearing the command, the pumpkin monster immediately started dancing strangely. Little white ghosts floated out of its body and lingered around the green butterfly like smoke.

These little ghosts seem to have their own consciousness. They fly around the blue butterfly constantly, trying to draw it into the Halloween carnival.

On Halloween, Pumpkin Monster’s special trick is to invite the other party to join the Halloween carnival, thereby adding ghost attributes.

"This is incredible!" the commentator said excitedly, "The Blue Butterfly was hit by Pumpkin Man's Halloween, and it has been given ghost attributes! The next ghost-type moves will be extremely effective against it!"

"Illusion Beam!" Xiaozhi smiled and took the lead in attacking. The Blue Butterfly in mid-air flapped its butterfly wings that looked like a Poké Ball, began to gather psychic energy, and then quickly shot out a colorful beam of light. This move was one of the Blue Butterfly's special skills.

However, facing the attack of the Green Butterfly, Ayaka did not panic at all. She immediately shouted, "Stealth attack!" Before she finished her words, the Pumpkin Monster disappeared at an astonishing speed.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi commanded without hesitation: "Counter-punch shield - Spinning Storm!"

He knew very well that the opponent might adopt a close-range sneak attack, so he asked the Green Butterfly to respond.

Following Xiaozhi's command, the butterfly flapped its wings and spun at high speed with itself as the center. The powerful airflow formed a violent tornado, which firmly protected the butterfly.

As expected, the Pumpkin Monster that suddenly attacked was instantly blown away by the storm, and the flying-type special moves had a great effect on him!

What's more, Storm is a flying-type ultimate move with incredible power, which can severely damage Pumpkin Monster with one blow.

Since close combat doesn't work, let's do a ranged attack. Ayaka gritted her teeth and shouted, "Use Shadow Ball!"

Pumpkin Man immediately gathered a dark energy, formed an energy ball, and quickly launched it towards the Butterfly. Seeing this, Xiaozhi waved his hands and shouted, "Use Butterfly Dance to avoid it!"

The butterfly danced gracefully, using mysterious and gorgeous butterfly dance skills to cleverly avoid the shadow ball. At the same time, its special attack, special defense and speed were significantly improved.

Xiaozhi struck while the iron was hot and shouted, "Air Slash!"

The green butterfly flapped its wings lightly, and a huge wind blade shot out as fast as lightning, hitting the pumpkin monster hard, making it fall to the ground and unable to move.

The referee then announced: "Pumpkin Monster loses his ability to fight, and the Blue Butterfly wins!"

"So strong!" Ayaka was amazed. She quickly put Pumpkin back into the Poké Ball, then took out another Poké Ball and shouted, "Please, Flame Lion!"

"Roar!"

With a roar, Ayaka's Flame Lion appeared! Compared with the last time we saw it, this Flame Lion's momentum was obviously stronger, and the aura of a king was gradually taking shape!

"Fire Lion, come on, use..."

Before Ayaka could finish her words, Xiaozhi was faster than her. He waved his hands quickly and shouted, "Turn back quickly!"

The butterfly flapped its wings fiercely, turning into a stream of light and fiercely hitting the Flame Lion. The Flame Lion had no time to react and was directly knocked away, then fell heavily to the ground.

The Butterfly quickly flew back into Ash's Poké Ball, and then another Poké Ball on Ash's waist opened automatically.

A fighting bird jumped out of it, circling in the air and standing firmly in front of Xiaozhi.

You should know that this fighting bird is known as the forest boxing champion. Its true strength has reached the peak of the gym level and is only one step away from the quasi-king realm.

"Spray flames!" Ayaka took the opportunity to launch an attack. The frustration just now made the Flame Lion's momentum reach its peak, and the furious king's flame was released instantly.

Waves of heat came first, but such attacks alone were not enough to make the fighting bird nervous. Xiaozhi smiled and said, "Swallow Return!"

The fighting bird leaped up into the air, avoiding the jets of flame, demonstrating its excellent flying ability. It then made a high-speed turn, swooped down, and kicked the Flame Lion away.

"So strong!" Looking at the Flame Lion that had just stabilized after being kicked far away, Ayaka gritted her teeth and shouted, "Exploding Flame!"

A large flame was released from Infernape's mouth. Facing this fire-type ultimate move, Xiaozhi commanded calmly, "Flying Knee Kick!"

The fighting bird didn't hesitate at all. It flew over and kneed the flaming characters, smashing them into pieces.

"How is this possible?!" Ayaka couldn't help but exclaimed upon seeing this, but what she didn't expect was that the fighting bird actually used the explosion to spread its wings and flew into the sky, but it was obvious that the fighting bird's knee was still injured.

"Flying and heavy pressure!"

The fighting bird excitedly made some cool moves in the sky, then folded its wings and slammed down towards the Flame Lion.

With a loud bang, the Fire Lion immediately lost its ability to fight!

The fighting bird raised his hands coolly to welcome the audience's applause. His own momentum suddenly increased, breaking through the bottleneck and entering the quasi-king level!

To be continued…
