"Quilava use Flame Wheel." After some mutual probing, Lin Yuefeng was the first to lose his patience.
"Charmeleon, quickly use Smokescreen." Black smoke directly enveloped Charmeleon, and its surroundings were completely filled with black smoke.
"Not good."
Seeing the Smokescreen, Lin Yuefeng instinctively felt something was amiss. Unfortunately, Quilava had already charged up its attack and launched it. It was too late to make Quilava stop now.
As expected, Quilava's attack missed. Charmeleon's figure was completely hidden within the black smoke.
"Charmeleon, use Mega Kick."
Charmeleon leaped up and landed a heavy kick on Quilava's body, sending Quilava tumbling like a gourd.
"Now, use Flamethrower."
While Quilava was still on the ground and hadn't gotten up, they naturally attacked directly. This wasn't a turn-based battle. Seizing an opportunity often meant instantly finishing off the opponent. Flames struck Quilava's body. Quilava, which had just suffered a heavy kick, was in extreme pain. Now it had to endure the flame attack.
"Charge forward, use Thunder Punch."
Ling Wanqiu wanted to seize the opportunity and directly finish off Quilava.
"Quilava, quickly use Protect."
Protect can completely block attacks. Success rate decreases with continuous use, but the first use is guaranteed to succeed. If Quilava used the Protect move, it would definitely block Thunder Punch. However, Quilava seemed not to hear Lin Yuefeng's words at all and did not use Protect.
The two consecutive moves just now had already dazed Quilava. The pain on its body made it unable to hear Lin Yuefeng's command. Thus, this Thunder Punch directly knocked Quilava out.
"Quilava is unable to battle. Trainer, please send out your next Pokémon." The referee shouted loudly.
Lin Yuefeng's expression stiffened as he recalled Quilava. He didn't get a good start and lost directly. The key was that the opponent's Charmeleon wasn't injured at all, and its stamina consumption wasn't much. The expressions of the students watching from the Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy were also not very good.
"As everyone knows, Young Master Lin is a gentleman, and his opponent is a girl, so he deliberately went easy on her."
"That's right, didn't you see that Young Master Lin barely attacked? He must have been going easy."
"Next, let's watch Brother Lin's performance. Actually, he's truly the undisputed number one at our Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy. If Xiao Luoxue became number one, it's because Brother Lin went easy on her and deliberately lost."
"Losing to Brother Lin, I hope that girl doesn't cry."
Due to his good looks and distinguished family background, Lin Yuefeng had many supporters in school, including quite a few delusional fans. However, some of these people's words also sparked dissatisfaction among a group of others.
"Oh, please. If Lin Yuefeng couldn't beat her, he couldn't beat her. What's all this talk about him going easy on School Beauty Xiao? That just sounds disgusting."
"Won, then brag. Lost, then preach. All day long, it's 'that first place Lin Yuefeng gave up'. Is School Beauty Xiao weaker than Lin Yuefeng? Grandfather laughs."
These people were clearly supporters of Xiao Luoxue. What they couldn't stand to hear the most was this group of people saying that Xiao Luoxue only got first place because Lin Yuefeng went easy on her. A verbal battle began, and on the battle arena, the fight started anew.
Lin Yuefeng sent out his second Pokémon, an Electabuzz.
"Electabuzz, use Quick Attack, then use Thunder Punch."
Electabuzz's speed was too fast. In an instant, it appeared in front of Charmeleon, and its Thunder Punch struck towards Charmeleon.
"Bang~!"
One punch sent Charmeleon flying.
"See that? As soon as our brother exerted himself, Charmeleon couldn't hold on."
"Brother is invincible."
The howling sound could even be heard on the field. Lin Yuefeng's face showed a hint of smugness. Everyone had their own hobbies, and he just liked being praised like this.
"This Electabuzz is good."
Jiang Chen looked at this Electabuzz. With the potential of a Heavenly King and the strength of an Elite Fifth-Tier, its speed advantage might lead Ling Wanqiu into a tough fight. Charmeleon would have a difficult time winning.
"Yes, this Electabuzz is good."
Old Zhang, who was nearby, nodded after hearing Jiang Chen's words, his face filled with tension. Earlier, Ling Wanqiu had easily defeated one of Lin Yuefeng's Pokémon, and Old Zhang had been in a good mood, but now he couldn't help but worry. In an instant, Electabuzz had already attacked several times. Charmeleon had sustained injuries. Although it counterattacked, Electabuzz's speed was too fast; it always managed to dodge.
Ling Wanqiu felt anxious seeing Charmeleon continuously taking hits.
"Calm down, you must calm down."
At this moment, Ling Wanqiu suddenly recalled the battle between her Charmeleon and Jiang Chen's Garchomp two days prior. At that time, Charmeleon had narrowly defeated Jiang Chen's Garchomp, but the one commanding Charmeleon at that time wasn't her, but Jiang Chen. That day, Jiang Chen saw that Garchomp was getting a bit conceited due to its rapid increase in strength, so he borrowed her Charmeleon to defeat Garchomp through a weaker opponent, thus tempering Garchomp's inflated ego.
"The tactic Jiang Chen used back then, I can borrow it."
Ling Wanqiu's eyes lit up. Seeing Electabuzz approach again to use Thunder Punch, Ling Wanqiu immediately gave an order.
"Charmeleon use Protect, then hold Electabuzz and use Flare Blitz."
Protect blocked Electabuzz's Thunder Punch attack. Immediately, Charmeleon's strong hands embraced Electabuzz, and it burst into flames, using Flare Blitz. When others used Flare Blitz, they would usually create distance and use their running speed to forcefully crash into the opponent. This was the first time Flare Blitz was used at zero range. Ling Wanqiu was using it for the second time; Jiang Chen was the first to use it, and he used this move to establish victory.
"I wonder if secretly learning Jiang Chen's move will work well." Ling Wanqiu's face showed anticipation.
Because it had been used once before, Charmeleon was very proficient. Charmeleon held Electabuzz, its body burning with flames, enveloping Electabuzz. The scorching flames made Electabuzz very uncomfortable. Charmeleon, charging forward, slammed into the ground at its fastest speed. Charmeleon used Electabuzz as its own cushion, almost completely unharmed when crashing into the ground.
"Boom!!!"
The ground vibrated, showing the immense force of the impact. The move Flare Blitz usually causes self-inflicted damage, but used this way, he wouldn't be hurt at all.
"Now, Charmeleon, use Fire Fang."
Charmeleon, taking advantage of Electabuzz's dazed state, bit down.
"Electabuzz, counterattack, use Thunderbolt."
Lin Yuefeng shouted loudly. However, it was already over.
"Electabuzz is unable to battle. Charmeleon wins."
This was a comeback victory, wasn't it? Ling Wanqiu was almost losing just now. In fact, Lin Yuefeng should have won this round easily, but he lost. The reason for his loss was that he was too arrogant. He could have easily won by using Thunderbolt and Thunder from a distance, but he insisted on trying to beat Charmeleon up close by charging in with Thunder Punch. If Lin Yuefeng hadn't given her the opportunity, Ling Wanqiu wouldn't have been able to win.
