"King Nidoran?"
"In that case, go, Kingler Crab!"
At this moment, upon seeing Nidoking appear, Xiaoming pondered for a moment, then took out a Poké Ball and threw it onto the field.
"Puff~ Rumble!"
A huge red crab, with one large and one small pincer, appeared in the arena and confronted Nidoking.
This is the evolved form of Kingler, the pincer Pokémon... Kingler!
[Pokémon: Kingler]
[Attribute: Water]
[Characteristics: Strange power pliers]
[Level: Mid-stage Dojo]
【种族值：hp：55；攻击：130；物防：115；特攻：50；特防：50；速度：75】
【…】
The Kingler in the middle stage of the Gym is quite strong; at least among ordinary trainers, this guy named Xiaoming is pretty good.
Unfortunately, it was facing a mid-stage veteran Nidoking, a whole tier higher, and Nidoking's trainer was Red, the Battler!
Therefore, the difference in the outcome of this battle was enormous!
...
...
"One hundred thousand horsepower!"
Red attacked first, so he didn't hesitate to have Nidoking launch the attack. He takes every battle seriously; that's his rule of battle!
"Ne~ Hoo!!!"
With a roar, Nidoking raised his left foot, gathering the immense energy of the ground upon it, and with a force of 100,000 horsepower, he slammed it into the ground.
The ground shook violently as a 100,000-horsepower rocket blasted towards the giant crab.
Upon seeing this incredibly fast 100,000 horsepower engine, Xiao Ming was startled and immediately gave the command to the giant crab:
"King Crab, jump up and dodge the attack!"
"Pfft! Pliers!"
Upon hearing this, the somewhat panicked Krabby, facing the incoming 100,000 horsepower, immediately obeyed its trainer's instructions and leaped up, narrowly avoiding the attack.
but.
Unfortunately, it couldn't dodge Nidoking's next attack.
"Thunder Fist!"
A faint, crimson voice rang out.
"Roar~!"
Nidoking burst forth as the ground collapsed, raising his fist and gathering the explosive current into a lightning fist.
In the terrified eyes of the giant crab, a lightning fist crackling with electricity slammed heavily into its body!
Bang!
Like a kite with a broken string, the giant crab was blasted away and crashed heavily into a huge rock in the rocky arena.
Then, it slowly slid down, its eyes rolling in circles, and it lost its ability to fight!
"Wow, Nidoking from Crimson Warriors is really powerful! He defeated Kingler with a single Thunder Punch!"
"Roar~ Ooooooooo!!!!"
Accompanied by the host's passionate commentary, the audience was filled with awe at the powerful Red and Nidoking...
However, the competition must continue.
...
...
"Go, Big-billed Sparrow!"
Xiaoming reluctantly recalled his Kingler, then took out another Poké Ball and sent out his second Pokémon, Finch, hoping to use his aerial advantage to fight Nidoking.
Unfortunately, Nidoking isn't just good at physical moves; it also knows special moves like Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Surf, and more.
Moreover, the physical move Rock Slide can also deal serious damage to these flying Pokémon!
Therefore, under Nidoking's firepower, Sparrow was unable to use its aerial advantage to dodge. Instead, Nidoking seized the opportunity and instantly killed it with a single Ice Beam.
Finally, there's Xiaoming's ace Pokémon, which is also his starter Pokémon... Sandslash!
Their strength is quite good, possessing the strength of a top-tier dojo master.
However, unfortunately, he is still far inferior to Nidoking, and the gap between Xiaoming and Red is an even bigger chasm!
"One hundred thousand horsepower!"
"Sand King, watch out!"
As the crimson command rang out, Xiao Ming, who was already in a state of panic, hurriedly shouted to the Mountain King.
1.6 However, things didn't go as planned.
"Roar~!!!"
With a roar, the purple monster Nidoking charged in front of Sandslash, raised one foot, and gathered 100,000 horsepower of ground energy.
Under the horrified gaze of the Pangolin King, it slowly magnified!
bump! ! !
"Beep!!!"
"Xiao Ming's three Pokémon have all lost their ability to battle, therefore the winner of this match is..."
"Crimson of Pallet Town!!!"
..............................................
237. The contestants of the Quartz Conference! (Please subscribe to the full series!)
"Powerful, truly powerful! The Crimson Warrior from Pallet Town, with just one Nidoking, decisively defeated his opponent 3-0."
"With this kind of strength, he seems to be a dark horse in this tournament!"
The host's passionate commentary ignited the entire audience, who erupted in cheers and applause.
No one dislikes a strong person, especially in the Pokémon world where strength is revered.
If you are strong enough, you will definitely receive applause.
However, with winners come losers, and Xiaoming, as the loser, can only leave this place as a stepping stone.
This is also a very real aspect of the world: spending months of effort to participate in the Quartz Conference, only to be defeated by Crimson, rendering all those efforts futile.
However, what truly brings this aspect to the surface is one's own strength. If one's strength is truly sufficient, then the one who wins will be him.
But now he is far inferior to Crimson, so Crimson is the victor!
"..."
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Red 23 excitedly recalled Nidoking, glanced at the numb, tearful Xiaoming opposite him, then turned around and left the field with Pikachu.
Xiao Ming, the Beastmaster, has come to an end in the first round of the Quartz Conference preliminary rounds.
...
...
Meanwhile, on several other venues.
"..."
A young man with a brown, spiky hairstyle and a mature appearance is standing with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, seemingly resting.
Completely oblivious, the two Pokémon on the field were already locked in a fierce battle.
However, despite the intense battle, the Golduck, facing Beedrill's attacks, seemed somewhat disheveled, yet it always managed to dodge each attack with ease, proving itself to be a master of deception.
However, that was the end of the scene.
"Let's finish this! Use Water Pulse!"
As the boy slowly opened his bright yellow eyes, his lazy words rang out softly.
"Bro!!!"
Golduck's expression immediately turned serious. He clasped his hands together, gathering water-type energy within them, and a water wave the size of a basketball condensed out.
The Beedrill, which was rapidly pursuing ahead, blasted forward directly. Without any surprise, it hit the Beedrill squarely and killed it instantly!
"The winner is Green from Pallet Town!"
...
...
the other side.
"King Crab, use the Destruction Beam now!"
"Pfft! Pliers!!!"
As the boy's innocent voice rang out, and the giant crab gathered its enormous pincers, unleashing a destructive ray of power.
It hit the giant bat in the sky directly, defeating it instantly and successfully completing a three-in-a-row!
"Another dark horse has emerged!!!"
"This Ash from Pallet Town actually defeated three of Takeru's Pokémon in a row with just one Kingler!"
