Chapter 125

No matter what move Yu Han ordered Infernape to use, he had a counter for it!

"Stop Rain Dance, use Protect, then Aqua Tail!"

Hearing Su Yu's command, Yu Han immediately sensed something was wrong.

However, at that moment, Infernape had already charged forward and could not turn back!

Milotic halted Rain Dance halfway through its execution, and the dark clouds in the sky swiftly dispersed.

Subsequently, a white shield materialized before her.

"Bang!"

With a light sound, Infernape slammed hard into the Protect, yet his body consequently stalled.

Milotic's red-and-blue tail coalesced with Water-type energy.

She whipped her tail, half a meter in diameter, and swiftly lashed out at the Infernape before her.

"Bang!!"

This Aqua Tail strike hit the Infernape before her perfectly.

With a boom, Infernape was sent flying backward.

His body scraped along the ground, carving a deep groove into the earth.

"Infernape, get up and hold on!"

"Milotic, use Surf!"

[Surf: Utilizes a massive wave to attack all Pokémon surrounding the user.]

"Woo!!" Milotic's entire body flashed with light once more.

With a swish, a colossal water wave instantly erupted from the ground!

Rolling layer upon layer, it formed towering, terrifying waves!

The ocean waves rolled forth in layers, sweeping toward the opposing Infernape.

At this moment, Infernape had already risen to his feet, a white shield glowing before him.

Layer upon layer of waves rolled in, striking Infernape again and again!

At this moment, Infernape resembled a lone boat struggling desperately amidst towering, terrifying waves.

He could only sway left and right, toyed with by the surging billows!

With a "boom," a fierce wave crashed violently onto Infernape's body.

Overwhelmed by the tremendous impact of the surging water, even the robust Infernape could not hold out and collapsed to the ground.

Subsequently, under the assault of the waves, Infernape was tossed back and forth.

"Milotic, use the final Brine!"

[Brine: When the opponent's HP is reduced to about half, the move's power doubles.]

Milotic once again spat out a globule of water.

The moment it made contact with Infernape, he let out a scream akin to a pig being slaughtered.

Once Brine concluded, Infernape completely lost his ability to fight.

[Milotic defeated Infernape, gaining 2000 experience points!]

"This... damn! Is this real or fake!? Yu Han was defeated by a freshman!?"

"Hiss... Unexpected. This Su Yu is actually so strong? Even Yu Han is no match for him!"

"I originally thought he was just an ordinary freshman, never expecting him to possess such considerable strength!"

"Damn, even if I were fighting Yu Han, it would be a bitter struggle, yet this Su Yu resolved it so easily!?"

Witnessing this scene, Qin Yun also widened his eyes in shock!

Su Yu had actually defeated Yu Han in one clean, decisive blow!?

Tell me, is this really a newly enrolled freshman?

However, while some were astonished, others naturally found Su Yu displeasing.

Lin Lin Guangxiang looked at Su Yu standing on the platform with a relaxed expression and gritted his teeth.

This person favored by Hong Hong Tianwang is actually so strong!?

He just entered as a freshman and already defeated the junior Yu Han!?

Doesn't that mean this person is the most gifted of them all?

Lin Lin Guangxiang felt somewhat unconvinced, but he did not say much.

He could only suppress the jealousy in his heart.

Since no one else could properly teach him a lesson, he would reluctantly take matters into his own hands later!

Su Yu recalled his Pokémon and walked back into the ranks.

This time, everyone looked at Su Yu with new respect.

They no longer viewed him merely as a freshman, but rather as a formidable competitor.

Seeing Su Yu return, Qin Yun exclaimed in amazement.

"As expected of Hong Hong Tianwang's successor, truly powerful. No wonder Hong Hong Tianwang took a liking to you!"

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Su Yu.

Hearing Qin Yun's words, they were all startled.

"So Su Yu is Hong Hong Tianwang's successor!? Hiss... No wonder he's so monstrous!"

"That explains it. Hong Hong Tianwang must intend for Su Yu to contend for the championship; no wonder Su Yu is so strong!"

"Damn! So Hong Hong Tianwang already has a successor! I was wondering who could catch Hong Hong Tianwang's eye, never expecting it to be Su Yu!"

"Tsk tsk, so enviable. Hong Hong Tianwang possesses both formidable strength and extensive connections."

……

To these words, Su Yu merely offered a faint smile and said nothing more.

After discussing for a while, everyone turned their gaze back to the battles.

There were twenty-four people here in total.

Twelve matches had already decided the twelve victors.

"Very good. The twelve who emerged victorious are all quite impressive. Next, you will continue to fight."

Wu Zhi then said, "Today we will determine the single strongest person! And this person will possess the best conditions during this training!"

Hearing Wu Zhi's words, Qin Yun and the others grew excited.

Victory would not only allow them to show off impressively but also grant them the best conditions for training.

Was that not killing two birds with one stone?

Thus, everyone felt a burning desire for the first-place position.

"Unfair!" At this moment, one person among the twelve losers spoke up.

"You did not say earlier that the victors would receive benefits! Otherwise, I would have gone all out!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhi swept a cold gaze over, his eyes filled with a chilly glint.

The speaker met his gaze and felt a chill run down his spine.

Wu Zhi snorted coldly. "A loss is a loss! Do not claim you did not go all out! Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength."

"You chose to hold back, which means you handed the opportunity to someone else!"

"If you have anyone to blame, it can only be yourself! Did your Master not teach you to go all out in everything you do?"

Saying this, Wu Zhi stared fiercely at the person who had just spoken.

That person shrank his neck and dared not make a sound.

Afterwards, Wu Zhi turned his gaze toward Su Yu and the other eleven.

"Next, continue fighting! Qin Yun, Yao Zhi, you two will face each other."

Thus, Qin Yun stepped onto the battlefield once again.

This time, Qin Yun was victorious again, though his win was extremely narrow.

After returning to the ranks, he patted his chest in relief.

"Fortunately, my Monarch Snake was a cut above; otherwise, I would have lost outright."

Next, several more matches proceeded one after another.

"Lin Lin Guangxiang, Shen Lu!"

Hearing his name, Lin Lin Guangxiang stepped out from the rear of the ranks.

As he passed by Su Yu, he whispered softly.
