Chapter 274: Junior Team vs. Sophomore Battle Department, a total crush!

Magic City University Battle Hall, on a standard battle field.

The area around the field was crowded with Magic City University students dressed in various ways, including students from general departments, as well as those from the Breeding, Research, and Battle departments related to Pokémon.

At this moment, a one-sided battle was taking place on this field.

"Serperior, find an opening and use Leaf Blade!"

A green, snake-like Pokémon with leaves on its body was looking down arrogantly as it toyed with its opponent.

Serperior

The opponent was a slow-moving Pokémon—Crabominable.

This crab-like Pokémon was covered in white fur, and most eye-catching were its two massive pincers, which were more like fists than pincers.

Crabominable

Crabominable's fists were covered in solid ice, and it was violently smashing them down around itself.

Serperior was like a dancer, holding its head high and nonchalantly dodging Crabominable's attacks time and time again.

As a crab Pokémon, Crabominable could only move sideways and was very inflexible. Serperior noticed this and specifically dodged toward the directions where Crabominable had difficulty moving.

The more it failed to land an attack, the more flaws appeared in Crabominable's boxing technique.

"Your Crabominable isn't calm enough in battle. Even if you're being led by the nose by a flexible opponent, you must calm down and observe the surrounding environment; only then can you find the moment to turn the tide."

Even though it was a match, Jiang Zihan, sporting a currently popular silver-foil perm, spoke calmly toward the other side of the field.

It was as if he were conducting a lesson—

This was a guidance match held irregularly by the Magic City University team, intended to improve the strength of lower-year Battle Department students.

Besides this field near the Battle Hall entrance, there were several other such guidance matches taking place throughout the Battle Hall.

"Blaziken, use Blaze Kick to finish him!"

A beautiful, tall girl with a passionate demeanor used a very gentle voice to do something extremely ruthless and unsportsmanlike.

A Blaziken with an aura radiating outward and speed like a ghost leaped high, its legs igniting with scorching flames as it kicked down toward the Abomasnow below!

This Elite-level mid-stage Abomasnow was already struggling against a Pokémon that had been accelerating the entire time, and to make matters worse, this Pokémon's type was a hard counter to its own!

The scorching knight kick defeated the Elite-level mid-stage Abomasnow in one blow. The girl shouted to the junior on the opposite side: "Never mind why you sent out a Grass/Ice-type Abomasnow to battle my Blaziken, but your Abomasnow's move transitions are too immature! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been defeated without even touching my Blaziken!"

After giving advice as requested, Mu Xia shouted to the surrounding students watching the match: "Which other juniors want to come up for a guidance match?"

"Me!" "Me!" "Pick me!"

Seeing their same-year peers defeated, the surrounding Battle Department students were not afraid; instead, they were even more eager to get on the field!

Ultimately, the reason was Mu Xia's Blaziken, which had already reached the Professional level. Just battling it could yield many suggestions; why wouldn't they want to?

"Metagross, break through the delusion and head in the direction your heart points, use Meteor Mash on him!"

A sunny and handsome boy used a calm command that didn't match his appearance to dominate the battlefield!

A platinum-colored Shiny Metagross was floating in the air, its brain, more powerful than a supercomputer, was calculating rapidly, locking onto the true form of the opponent below!

The field below was densely covered with figures created by the Double Team move. As far as Daigo knew, this was the signature trick of that sophomore student on the other side.

Facing the Weavile all over the ground, Daigo did not choose to clear the field with Flash Cannon as cautiously as before.

After all, they were here for a guidance match. That would indeed lock onto the Weavile's position quickly, but it wasn't necessary.

When it came down to it, they were just here to show off their skills!

"Meta!"

Metagross emitted a low mechanical sound. Daigo knew it had already calculated the location of the real Weavile.

"Saying it again, Metagross,

use Meteor Mash on him!"

"Meta!"

The Shiny Metagross locked onto the target with its four arms, and the punch, like a falling meteor, slammed heavily into the Weavile. Its immense force even caused a deep crater to appear in the specially made field material!

Having defeated another sophomore student, Jiang Zihan cast his gaze toward the crowd of people raising their hands to participate, wanting to find an interesting opponent.

At this moment, the originally closed Battle Hall doors were pushed open, and a panting, thin boy and a calm, handsome boy walked in.

The battle field where Jiang Zihan was located happened to be right next to the door, and he witnessed the two late boys walk into the Battle Hall.

As if interested, Jiang Zihan curled his lips slightly and said loudly: "The handsome junior who just walked in, do you want to battle me?"
