The Chapter get Retranslated
"Emboar, you've worked hard, come back and rest well."
Xiao Luoxue recalled her fainted Emboar, then released Garchomp without hesitation.
The appearance of another quasi-legendary Pokémon once again triggered a wave of cheers.
"Venomoth, use Dragon Rush."
"Garchomp, we'll also use Dragon Rush."
Who's afraid of a head-on clash? Her Garchomp was no weaker than Lin Yuefeng's Venomoth; on the contrary, Xiao Luoxue's Garchomp was stronger in terms of raw power.
A third-stage quasi-Elite Four versus a first-stage quasi-Elite Four – the strength advantage was too great.
The two quasi-legendary Pokémon collided, and the intense airflow they stirred up scraped off a layer of the battlefield's surface. Garchomp stood proudly in the air, while Venomoth had already crashed to the ground.
"Garchomp, pursue the victory! Don't give it a chance to fight back, use Dragon Claw."
Diving down from the sky, a Dragon Claw sent the struggling Venomoth flying again. Venomoth looked to be in pain.
Garchomp's attack, combined with the burn effect caused by Emboar, meant Garchomp was already in an unbeatable position.
"Venomoth, get up!"
Lin Yuefeng shouted, his eyes bloodshot, as he looked at the Venomoth lying on the ground.
His goal was to defeat Jiang Chen, but he hadn't even touched Jiang Chen yet and was already defeated by Xiao Luoxue. Lin Yuefeng couldn't accept this.
"You have no chance."
Of course, Xiao Luoxue wouldn't just watch Venomoth get up. She commanded Garchomp to use Dragon Pulse, and a destructive orb of light struck Venomoth.
"Venomoth is unable to battle."
The referee announced indifferently.
Lin Yuefeng stood there with a grim expression.
From the moment Xiao Luoxue sent out Garchomp, he was completely overwhelmed, with no chance to retaliate.
Now that his strongest ace was down, the chances of defeating Xiao Luoxue next were beyond slim—they were nonexistent.
"Please send out your next Pokémon, contestant Lin Yuefeng." The referee reminded Lin Yuefeng.
Lin Yuefeng made no move. Seeing his inaction, the referee frowned: "Please send out your next Pokémon, Lin Yuefeng, or you will be deemed to have forfeited."
"What's going on? Has contestant Lin Yuefeng been stunned? He's still not sending out his next Pokémon."
The commentator was also puzzled by this scene.
"The Capital's Number One Bullshitter has been stunned."
"I heard he went to provoke Jiang Chen earlier, but he didn't even get a chance to battle Jiang Chen."
"He should be lucky, otherwise, wouldn't he have been utterly crushed?"
From the audience, jeers and taunts erupted. Lin Yuefeng had been a bit too high-profile before, and coupled with his group of irrational supporters, he had made quite a few enemies. So, at this moment, there were naturally many people mocking him.
Fortunately, the taunts from the audience couldn't reach the battlefield, or Lin Yuefeng would probably have coughed up blood.
"Alas, the referee announces that because contestant Lin Yuefeng has not sent out a Pokémon for so long, he has been disqualified."
At this moment, the commentator announced.
No one had expected this highly anticipated battle to end so anticlimactically.
"He didn't dare to continue battling, afraid of losing." Xiao Luoxue glanced at Lin Yuefeng disdainfully. Such a person didn't even qualify as her opponent.
Xiao Luoxue's words reached Lin Yuefeng's ears, and his face turned ashen, but he couldn't retort.
He was indeed afraid of losing. Because of Jiang Chen's "Capital's Number One Bullshitter" remark, he had already lost most of his face. If he were to lose to Xiao Luoxue again, he would never be able to hold his head up again, not for the rest of his life.
Being disqualified now was still a loss, but he hadn't been completely defeated. At least he could claim to outsiders that he wasn't in good shape.
Although defeat was certain, as long as he didn't admit it, and since the battle wasn't completely finished, he could be thick-skinned and say he hadn't lost.
"Anyway, the match wasn't finished, so how can you say I definitely lost? I just wasn't feeling well."
Lin Yuefeng thought this was clever, but in reality, countless people were cursing him.
"Why aren't you happy even after winning?"
Jiang Chen left the audience, asking Xiao Luoxue, who looked annoyed.
"That guy's ace Pokémon was already defeated by me. I was about to completely crush him, but then he got himself disqualified. Of course, I'm annoyed! The chance to thoroughly crush that Lin Yuefeng is gone just like that."
Xiao Luoxue knew exactly what Lin Yuefeng was capable of. After Venomoth was incapacitated, she could have used Garchomp to sweep through all of Lin Yuefeng's other Pokémon.
"That guy definitely did it on purpose."
"Exactly, he must have done it on purpose." Jiang Chen agreed with Xiao Luoxue's guess.
Jiang Chen had even guessed Lin Yuefeng's motive for doing so, but he couldn't be bothered to care.
After today's four matches, the Elite Eight had been decided.
"The chances of us facing each other next are very high."
With eight people left, the possibility of encountering each other was too great.
"If I run into you, then it's just bad luck, I guess."
Ling Wanqiu was very calm. If she really encountered Jiang Chen, there was nothing she could do. It was a matter of luck, and who could say anything about luck?
Anyway, having made it this far, even if she unluckily lost to Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu wouldn't be unwilling.
After today's matches, Jiang Chen and the others returned. After training their Pokémon, Jiang Chen rested.
"System, sign in."
"Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Metagrossite X1,积分+100!"
"My luck is pretty good today. At least it's not a Berry."
These past few days, the sign-in rewards have either been Berries or money, but these items were completely useless to Jiang Chen.
"Young Master, breakfast is ready."
Ning Ya knocked on the door and called out.
"Got it, Sister Ning Ya."
After washing up, Jiang Chen sat at the dining table. Not long after, a sleepy Xiao Luoxue walked over and sat beside Jiang Chen.
"Breakfast is so rich, thank you, Sister Ning Ya."
Looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, Xiao Luoxue thanked Ning Ya.
Upon arriving at the Tianhai Pokémon Academy, they drew lots for opponents. Xiao Luoxue and Ling Wanqiu were lucky; their opponents were not Jiang Chen.
Nor did they face each other.
However, Jiang Chen's opponent was quite strong. He drew Chen Xiu, who ranked fourth on the list of strongest new trainers.
This ranking still held some authority.
Jiang Chen and Chen Xiu's match was in the afternoon. In the morning, Ling Wanqiu battled a girl, and Ling Wanqiu naturally won, and quite easily at that.
By now, everyone could see that the final champion would likely emerge from Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu, and Xiao Luoxue.
Because their battles had been won too easily.
In the afternoon, during Jiang Chen's match against Chen Xiu, Jiang Chen's support rate was naturally the highest.
"Both contestants have entered the arena. This battle should be a fierce struggle. Who will advance to the Elite Four? Let's wait and see."
After the commentator's incessant introductions, Jiang Chen and Chen Xiu had already released their Pokémon.
"Is this Meowstic?"
Chen Xiu glanced at the Meowstic Jiang Chen released, his brows slightly furrowed. He had collected a lot of information about Jiang Chen, but he really didn't know much about Meowstic.
Normally, Jiang Chen rarely used Meowstic in battle.
However, this didn't mean Meowstic was weak.
"Charizard, use Flamethrower."
"Meowstic, use Teleport to dodge."
Instantly, Meowstic's figure disappeared, reappearing behind Charizard.
"Oh my, this Meowstic can actually use Teleport?"
The commentator looked shocked.
As a commentator, he certainly had a thorough understanding of Pokémon data, but he had never seen a Meowstic that could use Teleport, nor had he heard that Meowstic could learn Teleport.
A normal Meowstic indeed couldn't learn Teleport, but Jiang Chen possessed a Mystic Plate. If he could make Metagross learn Teleport, couldn't he make Meowstic master Teleport too?
After appearing behind Charizard, Meowstic used Psyshock, sending Charizard flying.
"Bang~!"
A few seconds later, Charizard struggled to get up from the ground, looking disheveled.
Although Meowstic wasn't very tall, Charizard could feel a sense of pressure emanating from it.
"Charizard, fly up!"
Chen Xiu shouted at Charizard.
Jiang Chen looked up at the flying Charizard, then commanded: "Meowstic, use Psychic to pull Charizard down."
Invisible psychic energy latched onto Charizard's body, pulling it directly down and slamming it onto the ground with a crash.
Charizard let out a cry of pain, then was sent flying again by Extrasensory.
After several consecutive attacks, Charizard was on the verge of collapsing.
"This Meowstic's presence is too strong. As expected of contestant Jiang Chen's Pokémon. It is rumored that contestant Jiang Chen is most skilled with Psychic-type Pokémon," the commentator said.
"Too strong. Chen Xiu's Charizard isn't weak, is it? Yet it's being completely toyed with by Meowstic."
"It seems this match has no suspense. I wonder if Chen Xiu has the ability to defeat even one of Jiang Chen's Pokémon."
Since the start of this New Trainer Competition, Jiang Chen has yet to have a single Pokémon defeated.
"Meowstic, use Psychic."
After Teleporting to dodge a Blast Burn, Meowstic used Psychic, easily sending Charizard packing.
"This is too frustrating."
Chen Xiu knew Jiang Chen was a formidable opponent, but he never expected the battle to be so exasperating.
He hadn't even touched Meowstic once throughout the entire match. Teleport was just too annoying.
"Charizard is unable to battle. Please send out your next Pokémon."
The referee reminded a frustrated Chen Xiu.
"Go, Froslass."
Froslass, which resembled a kimono-clad figure, floated in mid-air, exuding a chilling aura.
"Contestant Chen Xiu has brought out Froslass, which has a type advantage against Psychic-types. I wonder if it can win."
"Meowstic, use Shadow Ball." Jiang Chen commanded Meowstic.
Meowstic also knew a Ghost-type move.
A shadowy orb of light suddenly shot towards Froslass. It was too fast for Froslass to dodge, and it was hit head-on by the Shadow Ball.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to press his advantage, he discovered that Froslass had been instantly knocked out by the Shadow Ball.
"Your Froslass is too weak, isn't it?"
He hadn't checked Froslass's strength earlier, but after using Probe Eye to scan it, he found that this Froslass was only Elite Stage Three.
An Elite Stage Three Froslass against a Meowstic that had already reached Quasi-Elite Four Stage One? That was practically serving itself up on a platter.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Chen Xiu's face.
His Froslass was indeed a bit weak. He used Froslass because of its type advantage against Psychic-types, but before it could even make a move, it was counterattacked and rendered unable to battle.
The commentator was also speechless, not expecting Chen Xiu's Froslass to be knocked out so quickly after appearing. He had even had some expectations for it.
Meowstic looked at Chen Xiu with an elegant yet somewhat arrogant gaze, waiting for him to send out another Pokémon.
"This Meowstic is really annoying, a bit too arrogant."
Chen Xiu felt a little uncomfortable looking at the proud Meowstic.
Actually, it wasn't that Meowstic looked down on Chen Xiu; it naturally carried this demeanor. While male Meowstic were fine, female Meowstic always gave off an air of arrogance.
"Ursaring, come out."
Ursaring was a large, brown, bipedal bear with a circle on its abdomen. Its eyes were sharp, and its claws gleamed with cold light.
"Ursaring, charge and use Hammer Arm!"
"Meowstic, use Psychic."
The charging Ursaring seemed to encounter resistance and couldn't reach Meowstic.
"This Psychic is too strong."
Chen Xiu frowned deeply. He had his pride; he couldn't be swept six-to-one.
"Your Ursaring isn't strong enough."
Probe Eye could detect the strength of this Ursaring. Knowing oneself and one's enemy leads to victory. With Elite Stage Nine strength, it was impossible for it to defeat Meowstic.
First, a Psyshock, then Extrasensory, and with two moves, Ursaring was directly rendered unable to battle, without even a chance to reach Meowstic.
Even if it charged over, Meowstic could use Teleport, and Ursaring still wouldn't hit Meowstic.
"Cleanly defeating three Pokémon consecutively, this Meowstic is not only cute in appearance but also incredibly powerful!"
The commentator exclaimed.
"Looks like I have to bring out my ace. Go, Volcarona."
Seeing Volcarona, Jiang Chen's face showed surprise. This was an extremely rare Pokémon.
Volcarona is a Bug/Fire-type Pokémon, with blue eyes and a pair of red antennae encircling its cheeks.
It has three pairs of orange-red wings on its back, representing the sun, and black spots are also distributed on its wings and the outer side of its abdomen, representing sunspots.
Legend has it that Volcarona was born from a fiercely burning cocoon. When the ground turns dark due to volcanic ash, its flames replace the sun's function, thus it is considered an embodiment of the sun.
In terms of rarity, Volcarona is even rarer and more uncommon than a quasi-legendary Pokémon.
"It's Volcarona! It's our honor to see a Pokémon even rarer than a quasi-legendary! And Bug-type counters Psychic-type, so contestant Chen Xiu has a chance to win this battle!"
The commentator looked excited.
Volcarona was not only rare but also very powerful.
"Volcarona, use Bug Buzz."
This was a sound-based attack, almost impossible to defend against or dodge. Meowstic felt uncomfortable after being hit.
"Meowstic, use Psybeam."
"Dodge quickly, Volcarona!"
This Volcarona's speed and reaction time were very fast. Because the Psybeam was released from a relatively far distance, it gave Volcarona enough space to react, successfully dodging the incoming Psybeam.
While dodging the attack, it also launched a Blast Burn at Meowstic. Fortunately, Meowstic used Teleport to evade it.
