Chapter 90 Tournament Match 1: Water Arena
Chapter 90, Tournament First Match: Water Arena
After Ash got the Beedrill Poké Ball from Professor Oak, he and Misty went out together and were blocked by a flamboyant man with long green hair.
"Are you Ash from Pallet Town? Hello, I'm Takeru from Jianggele."
When someone came to greet him, Xiao Zhi naturally responded politely, extending his right hand in return.
But unexpectedly, just as he was about to shake hands, the other person suddenly pulled their hand away.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry, but I don't let anyone touch my right hand, the one that holds the Poké Ball."
With a wave of her hand, which seemed to be about to shake hands with Ash, she conjured a Poké Ball as if by magic.
Then he started twirling it in his hand in a showy manner.
Now I see, this bastard came here to pick a fight.
"Do you believe me, Duowu? If it weren't for the tournament rules prohibiting fighters from fighting, you'd have at least ten bumps on your head right now."
Xiao Zhi casually crushed a pebble at his feet and threatened him with a forced smile.
He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Fighting is too brutal. Trainers should settle their differences on the battlefield."
Before a match, Duowu often uses tactics to provoke and disrupt his opponent's mindset.
"With my skill level, I'm certain I'll win this match!"
"Keep trying your best. Although the result is already obvious, it would be too pitiful for the audience if the outcome were decided too early."
Seeing that Xiao Zhi was in too much danger, and worried about his own safety, Duowu quickly turned and left after uttering some harsh words.

"What the hell? We were even trying to be friendly to him." Xiaoxia was very unhappy with Duowu's attitude.
"People like this need to be taught a lesson."
In the afternoon's match, Xiaozhi is going to teach this Duowu a lesson.
Time flew by, and the second match at the Water Arena was nearing its end.
Ash and Misty both went to watch Gary's match this morning.
He easily defeated his opponent and advanced to the next round, and boasted about it a lot in the post-match interview.
"Look at how proud he is."
Ash plans to show Gary what true adult demeanor is after his victory.
"The second round of the Water Arena is about to begin. Players, please enter the arena."
Finally, it was Ash's turn to take the field. Looking around the arena, he was surprised to find that Officer Jenny was everywhere, from the audience seats to the aisles.
It seems that all the Officer Jennys from the Kanto region have come to the competition venue on business.
The sight of so many similar, beautiful faces appearing together was truly breathtaking.
However, their faces are actually both similar and slightly different. These people are relatives from the same family, and their facial features are naturally similar.
Then, because of the same uniform, hairstyle, hair color, and makeup, it created a strange scene that looked like triplets.
"Well, at least security is guaranteed during the conference."
Xiaoxia, carrying Pikachu and Togepi, followed Ash onto the stage.
She was sitting in the coach's seat behind the players, which was the best viewing spot, giving her a slight advantage over Ash.
Ash's mother, neighbors, and Rika and Sabrina's family all sat in front of the TV to watch his match.
Both sides' contestants took their positions on the battle platform by the pool, and released their Pokémon at the referee's whistle. "Audiences, the match has begun! On one side is Dobu from Jianggele, a star trainer known for his flamboyant battle style."
"On the other side is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town."
Duo Wu seems to be quite famous; the commentators all recognize him.
"Be prepared to face your failure."
After performing several magic tricks, Duowu finally took out the Poké Ball, which drew cheers from the audience.
He was quite confident in his abilities, and had not encountered any difficulties since he started challenging the dojo.
I believe I won't lose to this relatively unknown trainer, and I'll at least make it into the official competition.
He was unlucky; Ash's fame among the younger generation was indeed not as widespread as that of Gary, Professor Oak's grandson.
But Ash has a great reputation among the League's top officials and Gym Leaders.
"Why doesn't someone with such an flamboyant style become a Coordinator?"
Ash was much more decisive, releasing his Pokémon very quickly and efficiently.
"After the main fighter, the first one to enter the arena is Exeggutor, and Ash has surprisingly sent out a rare gray Beedrill." The commentator also joined in the passionate commentary as the match began.
Dobu probably thought that most people would only use a Water-type Pokémon in the Water region, so he brought out the Grass/Psychic-type Exeggutor.
His goal was to achieve a type advantage, but unfortunately, he ran into Ash, who doesn't follow the rules.
Now his Pokémon is actually countered by Beedrill.
"Exeggutor uses Illusion Wave!"
"Move at high speed to get out of the way!"
Exeggutor, standing on a floating board on the water, aimed at Beedrill and released a beam of multicolored light, but Beedrill easily dodged it.
It was too fast; even Dowu and Exeggutor couldn't see Beedrill's movements clearly.
"Use the lethal needle prick now!"
Beedrill appeared to the left of Exeggutor, and with a single blow, Exeggutor suffered enormous damage.
"Exeggutor has fallen! Ash's Beedrill won the first round thanks to its high speed!"
That's the charm of a four-fold counter; you lose your fighting ability if you can't even withstand one hit.
After Beedrill defeats its opponent with its deadly sting, its attack power is greatly enhanced, and the game becomes a one-sided affair.
"Don't get too cocky, Seadragon."
Doo quickly sent out another Pokémon, which seemed to be his trump card specially prepared for the Water terrain.
"Deadly needle prick!"
"Sea Dragon, let's get out of the water and hide."
Unfortunately, the speed of the Seadra was no match for Beedrill, and it was hit by Beedrill's deadly sting before it could even dive to the bottom of the water.
The Sea Serpent's Deadly Needle, which has been upgraded by three levels, is something it can't withstand.
"That was fast, Beedrill! The fighter's Seadra has been defeated again!"
Seadra couldn't even withstand a single attack from Beedrill and was immediately rendered unable to fight.
Beedrill's attack has been greatly enhanced once again. Having defeated two opponents with its deadly sting, its attack power is now at its maximum. "Damn it, go! My last hope, Golbat!"
"Deadly Needle!" Ash still used Deadly Needle.
Zubat is immediately met with Beedrill's sting as soon as it arrives on the battlefield.
"No, it's a giant goblin bat!"
"Zoobat is unable to battle!" As the referee announced the battle result, all three green lights below Dobu's portrait on the large screen in the center of the arena went out.
Ash's image then enlarged and took up the entire screen.
"The winner is Ash from Pallet Town!"
"Wow, that's incredible! Ash's Grey Beedrill decisively defeated Duwu's three Pokémon with overwhelming power, advancing to the next round!"
The entire audience cheered along with the commentator. Beedrill's powerful performance excited everyone. After the match, reporters even came to interview Ash.
"Congratulations, Ash, on winning the first battle! What are your thoughts?"
"I'm very happy to have won, and I will definitely give it my all in the next match. As for my thoughts, I hope the opponents in the future will be stronger."
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "Responding to the Challenge": Humiliate Duowu in the match]

"This battle was so boring. If you're this weak, you shouldn't be a trainer anymore." Ash recalled his Pokémon, left a message for Dobu, and left the arena without looking back.
Duowu, who was beaten and questioning his existence, was left there facing the reporters' cameras.
