Chapter 110

Not only that.

Empoleon's pair of wings flashed with metallic luster and stood in front.

The whole body was like a charging drill.

Facing such a scene, Rowlet was still a bit at a loss.

It looked left and right, seeing that there was no place to hide on the field at all.

Oh-ho~ finished!

Rowlet had just prepared to spread its hands when Ash's voice sounded behind it.

"Rowlet, fly up!"

If Rowlet fought with pure strength, it definitely wouldn't be able to beat Empoleon.

To get this point, it had to take a shortcut.

Coincidentally, Rowlet had an absolute advantage.

That is flying!

After all, Rowlet is an owl and can fly!

Empoleon is just a penguin!

Penguins can't fly, they can only let you charge Q-coins!

This time.

The field was awkward.

Empoleon, who rushed to the destination, put down its wings.

There was no such small Rowlet in front of it; no need to guess.

It knew where Rowlet would be.

Empoleon looked up, and sure enough, Rowlet appeared in its field of vision.

With the advantage of the air.

Rowlet wasn't as nervous as when it first appeared.

At this moment, it was like a hunter quietly waiting for its prey.

Quietly waiting for the trainer's command.

"Rowlet! Seed Bomb!"

"Empoleon, use Metal Claw to bat it back!"

Both voices sounded at the same time.

The sudden tacit understanding made the viewers a bit unaccustomed.

After all, they didn't know that Professor Kukui, logically speaking, was half of Ash's master.

A master and apprentice can't break each other's moves!

"Coo!"

Rowlet took a deep breath, puffed up its cheeks, and then spat downward forcefully.

Rowlet's Seed Bomb is very special!

Its Seed Bomb isn't condensed from Grass-type energy like other Grass-type Pokémon.

This Seed Bomb is a genuine Everstone!

The Everstone wrapped in a yellow halo was like a bomb, quickly attacking Empoleon below.

Empoleon wasn't a pushover either.

Its gaze had long been locked onto the Seed Bomb.

After grasping the trajectory of the Seed Bomb, Empoleon waved its wings forcefully.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound echoed on the field.

Then, in the astonished eyes of the viewers.

Rowlet's Seed Bomb was batted back by Empoleon.

And then... Rowlet actually swallowed the Everstone wrapped in the Seed Bomb back again.

And spat it down in the form of a Seed Bomb again.

Empoleon retaliated in the same way as before!

Immediately after, the viewers saw this Everstone constantly going back and forth between Rowlet and Empoleon like a ping-pong ball.

"Tui~" You really are a respectable opponent.

"Coo~" You're not bad either!

Viewers: No, how did you guys even develop feelings while fighting!

【Dawn: They are really evenly matched.】

【Ruby: Rowlet spat out an Everstone?】

【Misty: No wonder Rowlet is still a baby; it turns out it's because of the Everstone!】

Although they didn't quite understand Ash's operation of letting Rowlet eat an Everstone.

But this is very Ash.

Maybe Rowlet didn't want to evolve either.

After all, not every Pokémon possesses the talent of Bulbasaur.

Being able to forcibly hold back the power of evolution.

In the scene—

"Rowlet, fly up!" Ash's voice came.

After Rowlet caught the Everstone again, it immediately flapped its wings to raise its position!

"Tui~"

Empoleon below also realized something; it turned its head to look at Professor Kukui behind it.

At this time, Professor Kukui's brain was spinning rapidly.

The strength of Ash's Rowlet wasn't strong; it could even be said to be the weakest existence in the entire team.

Although it had defeated Decidueye by luck in the previous conference battle.

But that was just luck after all.

If Empoleon were to be swapped out now, it would definitely cause the morale that Empoleon had just raised to dissipate.

Once, twice, three times, and then it's exhausted!

He understood this principle!

But, Professor Kukui looked up at Rowlet, which was still flying upward.

"Brave Bird, huh?" Professor Kukui muttered.

However, he already had an idea!

"Rowlet! Go all out! Use Brave Bird!"

Ash's passionate voice sounded, and Professor Kukui also knew he had guessed correctly.

The corner of his mouth curled into an imperceptible smile.

Ash, compared to me, you're still a bit green.

"Empoleon! Aim at Rowlet's position, use Whirlpool!"

"Tui~"

【Ash: Fired up! Thinking that Rowlet, with such a small body, could actually explode with such great power. This reminds me of the Charmander from back then; before it evolved into Charizard, it was also this passionate.】

【Misty: Is it my illusion, why do I feel like Professor Kukui fell for Ash's trick!】

【Paul: This match is already an open hand; Ash's Rowlet is just not as good as Professor Kukui's Empoleon, and now it's just a death struggle.】

【Cynthia: No, I don't think so; being able to bravely launch an attack against an opponent stronger than itself, Rowlet has already won.】

【Gary: Champion Cynthia, stop it! No matter what, you can't blindly praise it! How could Ash's team possibly beat Professor Kukui like this!】

Gary was very unconvinced.

Didn't everyone agree to vote for Ash to lose together?

How come you look like you're going to defect!

Champion Cynthia, you're not right!
