"Hydreigon, Dragon Pulse!"
Derick's fighting style was like that of a brave and fearless warrior. From the very beginning, he chose to launch a fierce attack using a move like Dragon Pulse.
A bewitching purple light flashed across the three terrifyingly ferocious heads of Hydreigon, and then a purple energy shockwave erupted from its mouth, sweeping toward Jynx.
"Oh ho ho? So this is the kind of man you are, little brother?" Minako chuckled lightly. "But you know, acting like this won't make you popular with the girls!"
That Dragon Pulse had already closed in on Jynx.
The next second, Jynx twisted its thick, barrel-like waist and evaded the Dragon Pulse with an extremely graceful posture.
Seeing this, Derick's pupils contracted.
How could it dodge?!
But the next second, he noticed the ice beneath Jynx's feet.
At that moment, Derick instantly understood everything.
It turned out that Jynx had used its Ice-type energy to turn the ground beneath its feet into a sheet of ice. Then, by gliding skillfully on the ice, it had deftly avoided the Dragon Pulse!
But before Derick could react, Minako on the opposite side launched a counterattack.
Her tone suddenly shifted, and her entire demeanor became sharp and fierce.
"Jynx, show this clueless guy a thing or two! Lovely Kiss!"
As Jynx moved, the ground beneath its feet turned into ice. It puckered its sexy, plump lips and struck a kissing pose toward Hydreigon.
The next moment, clusters of pink, lip-shaped energy flew toward Hydreigon in mid-air.
Derick quickly ordered, "Dodge it!"
Hydreigon hurriedly tried to evade, but in the end, a fiery red lip print landed on its face.
Although it didn't seem to cause any damage at first glance, Hydreigon's movements slowed down eerily.
Its three large heads began to yawn, and then its massive body slowly descended to the ground. Right in front of countless spectators, Hydreigon lay down on the ground and fell asleep!
"Hydreigon!" Derick immediately realized that Lovely Kiss was a sleep-inducing move similar to Sleep Powder. He shouted loudly, trying to wake Hydreigon up.
But Hydreigon was already completely immersed in its dreams, unable to hear any sounds from the outside world.
"It's over, little brother. We'll be taking the first win!" Minako gave a seductive glance and then ordered Jynx, "Jynx, let a fierce Blizzard descend!"
"Woo—wah!"
A violent airflow swirled around Jynx's body. Its golden hair suddenly fluttered, making it look like a witch controlling a Blizzard at that moment.
An extremely cold current carrying a sky full of ice pellets and Powder Snow almost instantly engulfed Hydreigon.
The raging Ice-type energy violently assaulted its body.
Hydreigon finally woke up, but it was already too late. In the end, it fell unwillingly amidst the raging Blizzard, unable to get back up.
The referee immediately stepped forward to check Hydreigon's condition, then raised the flag and announced:
"Hydreigon is unable to battle. The first match goes to contestant Minako!"
The audience erupted into intense cheers.
An unpleasant expression appeared on Derick's face.
"No... I can't let myself be distracted by her words anymore!" Derick quickly made a decision. "Lucario, I'm counting on you next!"
Lucario calmly nodded in response.
It walked onto the battlefield and faced off against Jynx.
With the sound of a whistle, the second match officially began!
"Jynx, give it your all to win this battle!" Minako declared loudly.
"Wah!"
Jynx let out an enchanting cry, and a powerful Ice-type energy suddenly erupted from its body.
Immediately afterward, ice spread rapidly from beneath its feet in all directions.
In almost the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield had transformed into an ice arena.
Jynx twisted its body as if dancing, deftly circling around Lucario in an attempt to disrupt its judgment.
"Jynx, Lovely Kiss!" Minako tried to repeat the same trick.
But Derick wouldn't be defeated by the same move twice.
He quickly learned from the previous battle. Seeing energy fly from Jynx's fiery red lips, he immediately said in a low voice:
"Lucario, Aura Sphere!"
Lucario clasped its hands together and swiftly formed an Aura Sphere, sending it flying toward Jynx's Lovely Kiss.
With a loud boom, the Aura Sphere and Lovely Kiss collided mid-air, causing a violent explosion.
"Hmm? You've already figured out a way to counter it?" Minako was slightly surprised.
But Jynx's tactics were already in place.
On the battlefield, Lucario used Aura Sphere again to attack Jynx, but Jynx, aided by the ice beneath its feet, managed to dodge it every time.
"Jynx, Blizzard!" Minako attempted to launch an attack with this wide-range move.
But Derick wasn't about to give her that chance.
"Lucario, Stomp!"
Lucario's feet slammed heavily onto the ground. Instantly, the ice created by Jynx shattered with a crack.
Even Jynx's movements while using Blizzard on the ice were interrupted.
"How could this be?!" Minako exclaimed in shock.
"Now, it's our turn!" Derick said in a low voice. "Lucario, Quick Attack!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Lucario's body transformed into a streak of white light. With lightning speed, it closed in on Jynx and delivered a sharp chop to its body.
"Jynx, create some distance!" Minako frowned, starting to panic.
"Don't give it a chance! Bullet Punch!" Derick swiftly pursued.
Lucario clenched its fists, with a silver metallic glow enveloping them, making them strike like bullets against Jynx's body.
Jynx cried out in pain, its body instantly sent flying backward.
"Jynx! Get up quickly!" Minako was alarmed.
"Lucario, Quick Attack!"
A flash of white light, and before Jynx could react, Lucario used Quick Attack again to close the distance.
"Finish it off! Close Combat!"
At that moment, Lucario's aura suddenly surged dramatically. It completely abandoned defense, concentrating all its strength into its fists before unleashing a fierce strike.
"Boom!"
Amidst a loud explosion, Jynx's body flew out like a kite with its string cut.
"Jynx is unable to battle! Congratulations to contestant Derick for tying the score!" The referee announced the result of the match.
Derick remained calm.
This was the ultimate secret of the Fighting-type Pokémon he had cultivated over the past year!
Launching relentless and fierce attacks like a tidal wave with extreme speed and swift fighting techniques, leaving the opponent no time to react, until they are completely defeated.
