This left the victory-seeking Satoru and Frogadier staring blankly at the scene.
But... wasn't Sylveon's stamina fine? Could it have suffered some internal injury today?!
Is there an actor here?
Sylveon, are you the problem in this match?!
[Satoru-baby, it's all your fault~]
Forget it, a 1v2 is a 1v2.
Satoru felt a headache coming on. There was nothing he could do. He would just have to make do. Anyway, from what he could see, Frogadier's stamina was completely above that of the other two Pokémon.
And a 1v2, isn't that cool?
The corners of Satoru's lips curved up into a smile. He subconsciously held Anon closer and began to get fired up.
"Let me show you our full power! Let's go, Frogadier, full throttle!"
"KOGA—!"
Frogadier responded to its trainer's expectations and began to roar loudly, its mental state completely different from before.
But Yukinoshita Yukino and Yahata Umiri, in front of them, were unmoved. Even with a stamina disadvantage, the probability of winning a 2v1 was quite high.
"Do you really think you can win a 1v2? Don't look down on us. Ninetales, use Ice Beam."
"KON~~!"
"Frogadier, Protect."
Ninetales unhesitatingly released an Ice Beam, attacking Frogadier fiercely. A green barrier surrounded Frogadier, completely blocking the attack.
"Dewott, get close and use Shell Blade."
"FUTA!"
But after the Protect ended, Dewott saw its chance and rushed in, holding two shells and using Shell Blade.
"Iai Slash!"
"Koga!"
Frogadier reacted quickly, a white light condensing into a blade that went straight for the Shell Blades in Dewott's hands. The two moves collided, creating a splash of water.
The energy wave spread out, and the air in the room seemed to vibrate.
This power seems to be even stronger than my Dewott's...
A drop of cold sweat ran down Yahata Umiri's back, while Satoru looked on with a confident expression.
"Koga~!"
In this contest of strength, Frogadier's Iai Slash was slightly superior. Its blade pierced through Dewott's Shell Blade, causing heavy damage.
"FUTA—!" Dewott let out a wail, knocked back several steps by Frogadier's attack.
"Amazing, that Frogadier is so powerful. To beat a STAB Shell Blade with a non-STAB Iai Slash, is it focused on physical attack?"
"It's probably because Frogadier has the stamina advantage."
"Isn't the key the Red Cap Demon King's quick judgment? And from his expression just now, he didn't think for a second that Frogadier would lose. I'm so envious of that kind of relationship."
The surrounding trainers couldn't help but discuss the scene.
"Ninetales, use Icicle Spear." "Frogadier, charge in with Quick Attack!"
Ninetales instantly condensed a dozen silvery-white icicles, which shot towards Frogadier like sharp arrows. Frogadier, with its extreme speed, dodged the incoming icicles.
"Don't let Frogadier get close! Dewott, use Water Pulse."
At the same time, Dewott followed up, launching a Water Pulse. A blue energy sphere gathered in its hands, surging like a torrent towards Frogadier.
Its movements were swift and precise. Satoru knew that he probably couldn't dodge this move.
"Water Pulse!"
"KOGA—!"
But Frogadier also used Water Pulse.
However, unlike Dewott's spherical pulse, Frogadier's was in the shape of a shuriken.
This move, as precise and swift as a shuriken, directly sliced through Dewott's Water Pulse. Then, it launched a fierce attack on Ninetales.
The shuriken-shaped Water Pulse directly hit Ninetales.
"KON~~"
Ninetales was sent flying by this force, its eyes turning into swirls as it lost its ability to battle.
STAB 1.5x + Ninetales's already low stamina. It couldn't take it at all.
"Dewott, charge in with Water Pulse~"
Not a moment of sadness for Ninetales's fall, Dewott was enveloped in water, leaped into the air, and charged forward.
"Futa~"
Dewott's body was completely enveloped in water, as if surrounded by a surging tide. Frogadier had no time to escape. The water poured down like a waterfall, enveloping Frogadier and crashing into it.
"Defend."
It could only bravely take it head-on, causing it to kneel on one knee.
"Use Shell Blade again!"
"Iai Slash!"
"FUTA—!"
With a loud roar, Dewott swung its shells, releasing two shining blades of light that cut through the air, heading straight for Frogadier. Faced with Dewott's strong offense, Frogadier reacted with astonishing speed and used Iai Slash.
"KOGA—!"
The two Pokémon engaged in a series of mutual slashes, each slash accompanied by a splash of water. The splashing water showed the intense confrontation and clash of skills between the two.
"KOGAKOGAKOGA!" "FUTA—!"
This time, it seemed Dewott's power had the advantage. Its body released a blue light. Blaze... Torrent had been triggered.
Dewott's Shell Blade glinted coldly, splashing water under the pressure of Iai Slash.
"Maintain distance and use Water Pulse!"
"Cut through the Water Pulse!"
Frogadier decisively jumped back a step, avoiding this surprise attack, and once again used Water Pulse, gathering it into a shuriken shape.
Water splashed as the Water Pulse was condensed into a shuriken. Dewott, seeing this, quickly swung its Shell Blade, trying to cut through Frogadier's attack.
The collision of Water Pulse and Shell Blade created a series of sparks, and the air was filled with a damp scent.
"Iai Slash!"
However, Frogadier's reaction speed was astonishing. At the same time that Dewott cut through the Water Pulse, it had already closed the distance again. The shadow of Iai Slash flashed under the lights, its speed so fast that its trajectory was almost invisible.
"So fast..." Even the cold Yahata Umiri's eyes widened.
"Futa~~"
Before it had finished cutting through the Water Pulse, Frogadier had already used Iai Slash. Dewott was hit, its body instantly sent flying, and it lost its ability to battle.
"Ninetales and Dewott are unable to battle! Frogadier is the winner! The final victor is contestant Satoru!"
...
After the battle ended, Satoru decided not to continue participating. If he continued, Frogadier's stamina might not be able to take it. It was already very tired.
Also, the remaining three pairs were all monsters, with many at the Ace Trainer level.
The reason he was able to win was that he had a stamina advantage and had fully utilized the power of his deep bond with his Pokémon.
If he continued to participate, based on the current situation, he would likely be defeated.
"Little Anon is unreliable. Next time, I should be the one to team up with Satoru."
"Ooh... I don't think there was anything that could be done in that situation."
Returning to their seats, Anon and Soyo began their usual bickering.
To be honest, Anon hadn't expected Sylveon to intentionally throw the match. She had just been enjoying the feeling of being close to her boyfriend and had forgotten that Sylveon was getting hit~
Couldn't Sylveon have just said, "I have no objections!"?
"Satoru~ so cool?~"
"Karen, why were you at Satoru's table just now?"
"Mhm-hmm~ Hikari can go see him, can't she?... Why didn't you go~"
"That's..."
At another table, the lively Aijo Karen was gradually prying open Kagura Hikari's heart.
Unfortunately, Satoru wasn't interested in such things. He was very normally packing up his things. After they went back, they would have to start intense training. Even the school's Elite Four were not to be underestimated. This thought couldn't help but cross his mind.
But after packing up his things, Satoru's gaze fell on Tomori. At this moment, her face was flushed like a sunset, emitting a faint fragrance. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she would occasionally steal a glance at him.
"What's wrong?" Satoru tilted his head, curious.
Hearing this, Tomori suddenly stood up. She walked to Satoru's side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered.
"Can you be with me tomorrow? I want to show you something."
