Chapter 41: Winning Streak
After shaking hands with Su Hao, Ye Fan hugged Teddiursa and ran hurriedly to the Pokémon Center again.
Su Hao, who had won one victory, did not leave but clicked the match button again.
The previous battle didn't consume much of Torracat's stamina, so playing a few more rounds was not a problem.
This time, the opponent was a middle-aged man, and the Pokémon the middle-aged man used was a late-Normal-level Mightyena.
Mightyena is a Dark-type Pokémon, and its appearance is very similar to a wild wolf.
As soon as Mightyena appeared, it let out a threatening low growl at Su Hao and Torracat, looking very combative.
Torracat, as an expert with the Intimidate ability, didn't take Mightyena's threat to heart at all.
Neither side chatted, and after the Rotom referee announced the start of the battle, they launched an attack at the same time.
"Mightyena, Snarl!"
"Torracat, Fury Swipes!"
"Woo-ao-ao-ao!"
Mightyena opened its long snout full of sharp fangs and roared loudly.
A shockwave of black energy was released with Mightyena as the center.
Torracat directly withstood the damage brought by Snarl, its sturdy limbs running fast on the battle field, and approached Mightyena in a few breaths.
"Meow-ao meow-ao!"
The sharp claws in the meat pads became longer under the coverage of Normal-type energy, grabbing fiercely at the head of Mightyena, who had just finished releasing the move and hadn't had time to move.
"Quick, pull away!"
Mightyena took a claw from Torracat head-on, and in pain, it followed the trainer's command to pull away from Torracat.
How could Torracat let it pull away easily after eating a Snarl in exchange for a close-combat opportunity?
Su Hao immediately commanded Torracat to follow Mightyena's pace.
Being pressed step by step by Torracat and unable to pull away at all, Mightyena had to choose to engage in close combat with Torracat.
Both sides used claws and fangs, and between back and forth, they temporarily fought to a draw.
Having figured out Mightyena's bottom line, Su Hao didn't intend to engage in a melee battle anymore.
"Torracat, use U-turn to attack Mightyena's waist!"
Torracat turned into a green light, directly hitting Mightyena's fragile waist.
"What!? Bug-type move??!"
Not expecting that Torracat would also know a Bug-type move that restrains Mightyena, the middle-aged man directly let Mightyena be hit by Torracat without preparation.
After Torracat hit Mightyena, it also turned into a green light and returned to the far right of the field.
Mightyena couldn't stand up for a long time after being hit in the waist.
"Mightyena, stand up quickly!!"
Facing the trainer's desperate shouting, Mightyena also tried its best to stand up.
Finally, Mightyena stood straight slowly with trembling limbs, turned its head and roared at the trainer: "Ao-woo!" (I can still fight!)
"Quick, dodge!!"
Mightyena looked at the trainer's expression changing from surprise to horror, a little puzzled.
Mightyena turned its head to look at Torracat.
"Torracat, give him the final blow, use Heat Wave!"
I saw a scorching hurricane blowing from Torracat's Flame Sac, and Mightyena, who was directly hit by the Heat Wave, completely lost its ability to fight.
【Mightyena lost its ability to fight, so the winner is contestant Su Hao!】
After the Rotom referee announced the result of the match, Su Hao sighed at the middle-aged man who was rushing to take Mightyena for treatment.
"How did I end up like a villain..."
Having fought two matches in a row, it was already lunchtime.
Heaven and earth are great, but eating is the greatest.
Su Hao decided to take Torracat, who had fought two matches in a row, to have a luxurious lunch to reward himself; of course, Carbink had a share too.
Walking out of Battle Venue No. 13, Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng, who were battling in Battle Venues No. 14 and 15, also just came out.
The three exchanged, and Su Hao and Jiang Chengcheng both had two consecutive wins, while Li Hua had one win and one loss.
Because the Swablu Li Hua sent out in the first battle happened to meet a late-Normal-level Pokémon, he used all his strength but was still a bit short and lost the first match.
In any case, the morning's battles gave the three of them some gains.
After finishing lunch at the Pokémon-themed restaurant, the three rested a little and prepared for the afternoon's battles.
