"Typhlosion, use Flamethrower."
Lin Hao wasted no time, ordering Typhlosion to attack Metagross first.
Metagross floated in place without moving, but its Psychic power had already blocked all the Flamethrower attacks coming from Typhlosion.
The Psychic power formed a barrier. Although Typhlosion's temperature was very high, it was unable to break through this Psychic-generated barrier.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing this, Lin Hao was shocked.
He thought Typhlosion would instantly kill Metagross. There was a huge gap in strength between a Champion-level Pokémon and those below Champion-level. Even a Quasi-Champion Ninth-Tier would struggle to withstand a single blow from a Champion-level Pokémon.
Now, Metagross easily blocked Typhlosion's attack. What did this mean? It meant that this Metagross also possessed Champion-level strength.
"Your Metagross has reached Champion-level?" Lin Hao asked Jiang Chen in disbelief.
"Guess."
Jiang Chen didn't answer directly.
"Metagross, pull it over, then use Hammer Arm."
Utilizing its terrifying Psychic power, Metagross directly dragged Lin Hao's Typhlosion over, then raised its alloy claw as soon as it grabbed it.
The claw smashed violently towards Typhlosion. Metagross's body was extremely heavy, which also made its attacks incredibly terrifying.
"Bang!"
Typhlosion's body was smashed into the ground by Metagross's single blow. The earth trembled, and Typhlosion let out a wail.
"You're despicable."
Lin Hao's face flushed as he glared at Jiang Chen. He had been distracted just now, which allowed Metagross's attack to succeed, directly giving Metagross the upper hand.
"Are you out of your mind? You're not focused during battle. Who are you looking down on, you idiot?"
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Jiang Chen immediately retorted angrily.
"Now I'll teach you a lesson: your opponent isn't your dad. They won't coddle you in battle. Metagross, use Meteor Mash."
Metagross continued to assault Typhlosion.
The battered Typhlosion roared furiously, the flames spewing from its back becoming even more intense. It tried to get up, but it was met with Metagross's Meteor Mash again.
In just two blows, Typhlosion was completely dazed.
Following that, Psychic, Flash Cannon, and even Hyper Beam continuously rained down on Typhlosion.
It had to be admitted that Lin Hao's Typhlosion was quite resilient. It endured an entire round of Metagross's attacks before finally losing its ability to battle.
"Aren't you going to switch your Pokémon? Did you get beaten silly?"
Jiang Chen asked Lin Hao.
Ashamed, Lin Hao was filled with indignation.
"I was just careless, giving you a chance to win. Don't get too carried away. Typhlosion isn't my strongest ace."
Lin Hao tried to justify himself.
If he had taken it seriously, at least... he wouldn't have lost so badly. The loss would have looked a little better.
"Please continue your performance."
Jiang Chen made a 'please' gesture, indicating for Lin Hao to continue his performance.
"Tyranitar."
This time, Lin Hao directly sent out his strongest Sand Stream tyrant, Tyranitar. The main reason was that besides Typhlosion, he only had Tyranitar as a Champion-level Pokémon left.
Champion-level Pokémon were not that easy to train. Jiang Chen only managed to get Gardevoir and Metagross to Champion-level so easily because he possessed the wondrous Evolutionary Stones.
Although Lin Hao had been a certified trainer for five years, he only had two Champion-level Pokémon in total.
"This Tyranitar isn't weak."
Jiang Chen used his Detect Eye to check Tyranitar's strength, and his expression became serious. A Champion Fourth-Tier Tyranitar might actually be too much for Metagross to handle.
The difference in each tier was actually quite significant, especially after reaching the Champion-level. The gap in a single tier was considerable.
This Tyranitar had the Sand Stream ability. As soon as it appeared, it stirred up a sandstorm. Fortunately, the sandstorm wouldn't affect Metagross much.
"Tyranitar, use Rock Slide."
"Metagross, use Teleport, then use Meteor Mash."
Steel-type moves actually had an advantage against Tyranitar; they were a direct counter.
"How can Metagross use Teleport?"
Seeing Metagross suddenly use Teleport, appearing behind Tyranitar, then attacking Tyranitar and sending it flying, Lin Hao was momentarily distracted again.
"My Metagross can use Teleport. Are you unconvinced?"
Not only could Metagross use Teleport, Jiang Chen had even taught Garchomp Dragon Dance. If others saw it, they would probably be dumbfounded.
After suffering a setback, Lin Hao could only suppress the doubts in his heart and focus on the battle. He didn't want to be defeated by Jiang Chen again this time, just like last time. In Lin Hao's opinion, his Typhlosion lost unfairly; it shouldn't have lost to Metagross.
If Tyranitar also lost, then he would have no chance at all. He knew Jiang Chen had other Champion-level Pokémon, but besides Tyranitar, Lin Hao had no other Champion-level Pokémon.
So Tyranitar had to win. It had to defeat all of Jiang Chen's other Pokémon, otherwise, he would lose.
And losing meant kneeling and calling him Grandpa. With this wager, he absolutely couldn't lose.
Although Tyranitar was sent flying, when it got up, it didn't seem to have suffered much damage.
Its tough skin and thick hide, along with the hard armor on its body, had already helped Tyranitar block most of the attacks.
Metagross had a type advantage over Tyranitar, and Tyranitar, being a Dark-type, also had an advantage over Metagross.
"Go, use Crunch."
Even against Metagross's steel body, Tyranitar still dared to bite.
However, before its mouth could even touch Metagross, Metagross used Teleport to dodge, then Flash Cannon struck Tyranitar.
Although the sandstorm obscured their vision, Metagross's Psychic power allowed it to pinpoint Tyranitar's location.
Tyranitar's defense and attack were not weak, and its stamina was terrifying, but it had one major weakness: its speed.
Its speed was too slow, making it difficult to dodge attacks.
"Tyranitar, use Hyper Beam."
Lin Hao was getting a little anxious. One Pokémon had been defeated. Now, facing this Metagross, even after bringing out his ace, he hadn't gained an advantage. Naturally, his heart was restless.
Hyper Beam instantly struck towards Metagross. When it was only a few tens of centimeters away from Metagross, Metagross once again used Teleport to dodge.
"Damn Teleport."
Lin Hao wanted to know why a Metagross could learn Teleport.
Yet, Lin Hao was temporarily helpless against this Metagross. Teleport was too tricky to deal with, and he also had to be careful of Metagross's attacks.
Otherwise, a moment of carelessness could allow Metagross to successfully steal a victory.
The type advantage combined with Metagross's Champion-level strength meant that it wasn't impossible to break through Tyranitar's defenses.
Although Tyranitar's defense was strong, if it stood there and let Metagross attack, it definitely wouldn't be able to withstand Metagross's attacks.
"I must find a way."
Lin Hao anxiously tried to think of countermeasures.
At this moment, Lin Hao was panicking, but Jiang Chen was very relaxed. As long as Metagross maintained its stamina, Tyranitar wouldn't pose a threat for now.
He just needed to slowly find the opponent's weak points. Once he found them, it wasn't impossible for his Metagross to defeat a Champion Fourth-Tier Tyranitar.
"If you've got the guts, let your Metagross go head-to-head with my Tyranitar."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Jiang Chen looked at Lin Hao as if he were an idiot upon hearing his words.
With Metagross currently having the advantage, would he foolishly go head-to-head with Tyranitar?
If a head-on clash had an advantage, Jiang Chen wouldn't mind, but the key was that a head-on clash between Metagross and Tyranitar was a disadvantage.
Metagross had only recently broken through to Champion-level, with Champion First-Tier strength. How could it be Tyranitar's opponent in a direct confrontation?
"Tyranitar, use Thunder Wave."
"Metagross, use Teleport again."
"While you're at it, use Thunder Punch attack from behind."
Seeing Metagross disappear, Lin Hao immediately shouted.
Tyranitar reacted quickly. It probably guessed that Metagross might appear behind it and acted before Lin Hao even gave the command.
If it had waited for Lin Hao to give the command, it would have been too late to act.
Unfortunately, it guessed wrong. Several times before, Metagross appeared behind Tyranitar, but Jiang Chen and Metagross weren't fools; could they really keep appearing behind Tyranitar?
Metagross appeared to Tyranitar's right, perfectly avoiding Tyranitar's attack, and raised its arm to use Hammer Arm on Tyranitar.
Hammer Arm was a Fighting-type move, and Fighting-type moves dealt four times damage to Tyranitar, directly causing Tyranitar to roar in pain.
"Use Hyper Beam."
Taking advantage of sending Tyranitar flying, Jiang Chen immediately ordered Metagross to press the advantage. A beam of light, filled with destructive power, instantly blasted Tyranitar.
"Boom!!!"
Tyranitar was blasted several hundred meters away. Fortunately, the open space was large enough, otherwise, who knew how much damage it would have caused.
"Get up, Tyranitar."
Lin Hao shouted towards Tyranitar.
Shaking its head, Tyranitar indeed stood up, but as soon as it stood up, it was met with Metagross's attack.
A Brick Break hit Tyranitar on the head.
...Request fresh flowers...
Despite Tyranitar being stronger, it was completely dominated by Metagross throughout the battle.
"Damn it, fight back, fight back!"
Lin Hao wished he could rush up and personally fight Metagross in place of Tyranitar.
The battered Tyranitar finally fought back. Enduring a Hammer Arm, Tyranitar finally punched Metagross.
Metagross's heavy body was pushed back, but Metagross, whose entire body was harder than steel, could withstand several such attacks.
Metagross was also a Pokémon with high defense and high attack, and its weakness was also speed.
However, after learning Teleport, its speed disadvantage had been almost completely eliminated, unlike Tyranitar.
Under Jiang Chen's command, Metagross attacked continuously for five minutes, without a single pause.
Moves like Metal Claw, Hammer Arm, Meteor Mash, etc., continuously assaulted Tyranitar. When facing Tyranitar's attacks, it sometimes directly endured them.
Metagross's defense was already terrifying. After Jiang Chen had Metagross use Iron Defense, its defensive power greatly increased again. Tyranitar found it difficult to even make a dent in Metagross.
Every time Tyranitar tried to use a powerful move, Jiang Chen would have Metagross use Teleport to dodge.
The initiative was completely in Jiang Chen's hands.
Don't let the fact that Lin Hao had been a trainer longer deceive you. In terms of tactics and command, Lin Hao was truly inferior to Jiang Chen.
Moreover, Jiang Chen also had the assistance of Aura. He could communicate with Metagross mentally when giving commands.
"Your Tyranitar is going to lose." Jiang Chen's mouth curved slightly.
"Shut up."
Lin Hao, whose mental defenses had already broken down, roared.
Jiang Chen didn't bother arguing with him. According to the intelligence Ning Ya had gathered about Lin Hao, this Tyranitar was his trump card.
If his trump card was lost, it meant Lin Hao had already lost this challenge.
They had a wager. If Lin Hao didn't want to fulfill the wager, Jiang Chen wouldn't let him off easily.
"I can still win. I can still make a comeback."
Lin Hao continuously muttered to himself.
However, anyone with eyes could see that Lin Hao was definitely going to lose, including Lin Yuefeng. He could see that Lin Hao was about to lose.
"Usually so arrogant, but at the critical moment, completely unreliable."
Lin Yuefeng cursed Lin Hao inwardly.
Usually, Lin Hao acted very conceited in front of him, especially when he promised to deal with Jiang Chen, he confidently said that dealing with Jiang Chen was a piece of cake.
Now he was about to be dealt with by someone else.
Lin Yuefeng secretly had thoughts of escaping at this moment.
"You won't try to run away, will you?"
His actions were seen by Xiao Luoxue, who gave Lin Yuefeng a cold sneer.
Lin Yuefeng's expression froze. He looked at Xiao Luoxue with a dark face.
"Violent Butterfly Ampharos, keep a close eye on him. Don't let him escape."
Ignoring Lin Yuefeng's grim gaze, Xiao Luoxue directly released her Pokémon, ordering Violent Butterfly Ampharos to keep an eye on Lin Yuefeng, absolutely not giving Lin Yuefeng any chance to escape.
"Metagross, give it the final blow. Use Full Power Flash Cannon."
A beam of light, no weaker than Hyper Beam, struck Tyranitar. The continuously battered Tyranitar truly couldn't hold on anymore.
After repeatedly getting up from the ground before, it now truly couldn't get up.
"Tyranitar, damn it, get up!"
Lin Hao continued to shout at Tyranitar.
Defeating Tyranitar took a considerable toll on Metagross as well. Winning against a Tyranitar significantly stronger than itself, a victory of the weak over the strong, was not easy for Metagross.
"You worked hard, Metagross. Come back and rest."
Jiang Chen knew Metagross was tired. If Tyranitar had held on any longer, Metagross would probably have been the one to give up.
"Stop shouting. It has lost its ability to battle. You lost."
Jiang Chen looked at Lin Hao and said.
"I haven't lost. Our battle isn't over yet."
Lin Hao, with a grim face, recalled Tyranitar. He stubbornly released Feraligatr. He was unwilling to concede. He had said that if he lost the wager, he would kneel and call him Grandpa.
And it would be posted online. How could he accept that? If he really knelt and called him Grandpa and it was posted online, his own grandfather would probably beat him to death.
"Alright, then continue."
Jiang Chen glanced at Feraligatr. Feraligatr was the second stage evolution of the starter Totodile and was also one of Lin Hao's main Pokémon.
However, Feraligatr did not have Champion-level strength. It only had Quasi-Champion Ninth-Tier strength.
Don't let the fact that Quasi-Champion Ninth-Tier was just one step away from Champion-level deceive you. The difference in that one step was like heaven and earth.
