He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4307 There are no useless attributes, only useless trainers!

Soon, the battle officially began in the open space in front of the watchtower castle gate!

The drone Rotom was already hovering in mid-air, its mechanical eyes scanning the contestants on both sides, and it expertly began to speak:

"The current event is the World Championship Senior Ball Division ranking tournament!"

"The two players facing off are Ash, ranked 72nd, and Liu, ranked 60th!"

Although only Xiaoyou and Mary were in the audience, the required procedures still had to be followed.

"This match is a 3v3 battle, and each side can use three Pokémon!"

"When all three Pokémon on one side are unable to battle, the winner is determined!"

Looking at the confident expression on A-Liu's face, Xiao Zhi felt a little more curious.

Several months have passed, so what level has this guy improved to?

Across from her, A-Liu also let out a breath, clutching the Poké Ball with an unprecedentedly focused gaze.

Now it's time to see the results!

The two locked eyes and simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls!

boom!boom!

Two beams of red light fell simultaneously from mid-air.

"I've chosen you, Butterfly!"

"Unleash our insect-like will, and hunt down the Swallowtail Butterfly!!"

It was quite a coincidence that their first Pokémon were both butterfly-shaped, and they both spread their wings and flew lightly above the ground.

Thinking that he would be facing a Bug-type opponent, Ash chose the only Bug-type Pokémon currently in the castle.

Normally, the hunting swallowtail butterfly is considered more beautiful than the giant butterfly.

However, Ash's Butterfree is a pink mutant, and it can scatter pink phosphorescent powder every time it flaps its wings, making it no less beautiful than its opponent.

"Hunting swallowtail butterflies?"

He blinked, remembering that this Hoenn region's starting Bug was probably A-Liu's starter Pokémon.

"A pink butterfly?"

On the other side, A-Liu was also stunned, as this was the first time she had ever seen such a being.

However, he quickly clenched his fist and his gaze fell on his hunting butterflies.

After being eliminated from the last seaside festival, he had considered changing the attribute track.

Some even doubted whether it was a Bug-type Pokémon, wondering if it was truly hopeless.

However, these three months of intense practical experience also made him realize something—

There are no useless attributes, only useless trainers!

The Bug type is the strongest!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as the battle began, the Hunting Swallowtail was enveloped in a red light, and its aura surged.

Characteristic: Fighting Spirit, activated!

When both the player and the enemy are of the same gender, the power of all of Butterfree's moves will be increased!

"Hunting swallowtail butterflies, use the signal beam!"

A-Liu launched the first attack.

The antennae on the head of the hunting swallowtail butterfly converged, quickly forming a seven-colored ball of light in the center.

Whoosh—!

A beam of seven-colored light shot straight out, heading straight for Butterfly!

Xiao Zhi also perked up and immediately spoke:

"Butterfly, dodge and then use Air Blade!"

"Butterfly~!"

The pink butterfly suddenly pressed down its wings, and its body suddenly rose higher.

While dodging the attack, its wings were covered in white light, and it flapped forward continuously!

Swish, swish—! !

Several sharp air slashes shot out instantly, converging on the direction of the Hunting Swallowtail Butterfly.

Ah Liu did not back down and immediately responded:

"Spin it! Use the silver whirlwind!"

The hunting swallowtail butterfly understood, and while spinning in place, it continuously flapped its wings, and a silvery-gray aura quickly swirled and took shape around its body, growing stronger and stronger.

Whoosh!

The silver whirlwind spread out, like a rotating wind wall, slashing and deflecting all the incoming air.

At the same time, countless silvery-white phosphorescent particles rained down from the hurricane, shimmering in the night. If this were a Grand Festival, it would be a perfect defensive counterattack; Ash is now about to lose health.

"You're quite skilled."

Ash's eyes brightened slightly; he did look somewhat different, and his move transitions were much smoother than last time.

"Then let's try this move! Butterfree, use Flash Magic!"

"Butterfly—!"

The pink Butterfly let out a high-pitched cry, and its body suddenly lit up with a rich pink light.

The light enveloped its entire body, forming a translucent pink energy ball.

Under the darkness, this radiance appeared exceptionally dazzling!

The next second, Butterfree transformed into a pink shooting star, hurtling toward Swallowtail with magical brilliance!

A-Liu had already figured it out; Ash's pink Butterfree definitely had a problem with its type.

The power of Fairy-type moves is a bit too high!

If you can't block a direct attack, then...

"Hunting swallowtail butterflies, use insect chirps!"

The hunting swallowtail butterfly understood and opened its beak, emitting a sharp cry:

"Phoenix Cry—!!"

The high-frequency insect chirping spread out instantly, like countless fine needles piercing the eardrum at the same time.

Offstage, Xiaoyou and Mary instinctively covered their ears.

This isn't just a simple insect chirp; it's enhanced by the ability "Fighting Spirit" and the held item "Silver Dust"—

This time it's genuine Silver Powder, which can enhance the power of Bug-type moves when carried.

Instead of the silver powder, a local specialty of the Orange Islands, that Yuji used before.

The sharp sonic boom from the double boost caused Butterfly's movement to suddenly halt halfway through her sprint.

"butterfly!"

Its large pink eyes furrowed, and its body swayed as if shaken.

The pink sphere of light enveloping her entire body could not be maintained and quickly dissipated.

The magic flashed, but it was shattered!

Ah Liu seized the opportunity and pressed on:

"Now! Use the Air Blade!"

This time, it was Butterfly Hunt's turn to use this move!

Its wings flapped continuously, and countless sharp air slashes flew out.

Ash's eyes lit up and he said:

"Then let's try this new move: fragrant fog!"

"Butterfly~!"

The butterfly steadied itself and flapped its pink wings continuously.

The next moment, a thick pink mist, carrying a faint sweet fragrance, quickly spread in all directions.

In an instant, the open space in front of the castle was shrouded in a pink mist.

As her vision was mostly obscured, a burst of amplifying red light shone from Butterfly Ba's body.

Special defense has been boosted!

Whoosh! Bang! Bang!

Air Blade cleaved into the mist a step too late. Although it successfully hit Butterfree, the damage was significantly reduced after the Special Defense boost from the Fragrant Mist.

Butterfree retreated and disappeared into the depths of the pink mist, so Ash took the opportunity to speak:

"Butterfly, use moonlight!"

"Butterfly~"

The butterfly raised its head, looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and let out a long cry.

The falling silvery moonlight gradually transformed into a soft, healing green light, appearing on its surface and rapidly restoring its stamina.

The Moonlight move isn't only effective on sunny days.

On nights with a bright, clear moon, treatment efficiency can also be greatly improved!

Not to mention that Ash's pink Butterfree is a Fairy-type, which maximizes the healing effect of this move! (End of Chapter)
