Chapter 128

But after using two skills, he had gained no advantage whatsoever.

He had even been struck by two ice-type attacks.

One could say he was in imminent peril!

Zheng Shen could only hope for a miracle!

However, there would be no miracle.

The damage Dragonite had already sustained was not light.

The slowing effect of Icy Wind and the damage brought by Blizzard

both rendered his body unable to be as agile as it had been at the start. Facing this Ice Beam,

he could only widen his eyes, watching helplessly as the light shot toward him.

His wings had fluttered, but he simply could not take flight!

"Whoosh." The ice beam struck Dragonite squarely.

In an instant, it encased him in a block of ice.

Dragonite had become an ice sculpture.

With a "crack," the ice sculpture shattered.

Dragonite had also lost his ability to fight.

Even as a pseudo-legendary, after taking three ice-type skills dealing quadruple damage, he could only meet defeat with bitter resentment.

[Ninetales has defeated Dragonite, gaining 2500 experience points!]

Another flawless victory!

Su Yu had already thoroughly crushed his opponents in two consecutive matches.

Although it relied solely on type advantages,

being able to raise all his main Pokémon and diversify his team's types was itself a form of strength!

After all, everyone knew to seek type advantages during battles.

But why didn't you have them? Wasn't it because training new Pokémon was too troublesome?

"I really doubt he's a freshman. Could they have said it wrong? With two Pokémon this strong, how could he possibly be a freshman?"

"When I was a freshman, I had just evolved my starter Pokémon, yet he already possesses two fully evolved Pokémon?"

"I really have to wonder, are we truly geniuses? How did we get thoroughly crushed by a freshman?"

"It's fine; when it's your turn, go test his strength and you'll know."

Lin Lin Guangxiang suddenly spoke up, "He's merely relying on type advantages. As soon as he faces a match without a type advantage, he will definitely lose!"

"I don't know if you've noticed, but his Ninetales is actually a lower level than Dragonite."

"The reason the battle went so smoothly is precisely because the type advantage was so overwhelming!"

Hearing Lin Lin Guangxiang's words, quite a few people nodded in agreement.

The reality matched exactly what Lin Lin Guangxiang had said; the only unknown was how Su Yu would perform without a type advantage.

Everyone was secretly plotting in their hearts to switch to a different main Pokémon when facing Su Yu.

Otherwise, there was a high chance they would be countered by him again!

Thus, this round of twelve participants quickly finished their matches, and Su Yu directly secured a spot in the top six.

He was also the only freshman among those six.

The other five were all third-year students.

Standing among the six, Su Yu shone brilliantly.

"Just wait; once you face me, you won't be this lucky."

Lin Lin Guangxiang looked at Su Yu beside him and said, "Relying merely on type advantages to cut corners will not take you far."

Hearing this, Su Yu shook his head and ignored him.

Not to mention that winning via type advantages was itself a form of strength.

Secondly, he was merely using Milotic and Ice Ninetales to grind experience.

With such a perfect opportunity to grind, surely he wasn't supposed to be like Ash, fighting against type disadvantages every single time.

However, Su Yu did not explain himself.

For someone like Lin Lin Guangxiang, explaining would be useless anyway.

It was like some people: if you speak to them, they think you're agitated.

If you don't speak to them, they think you're afraid.

No matter what you say, such people always find a way to be right.

Su Yu only needed to focus on doing his own part!

"Very good! All six of you have performed excellently!" Wu Zhi said, clasping his hands behind his back.

"Next, the six of you will duel to determine the top three!"

Hearing Wu Zhi's words, one of them asked,

"Then what about after we determine the top three? Won't there be one person missing?"

Wu Zhi smiled coldly, "Wait until you make it into the top three before worrying about that!"

"Now, begin the battles immediately!"

"Qin Yun, Su Yu, you two will battle!"

Hearing his name and Su Yu's called out,

a bitter smile appeared on Qin Yun's face.

He did not really want to battle Su Yu.

But since Wu Zhi had called on him, he had no choice but to steel himself and step forward.

The two quickly arrived at the battlefield, and Qin Yun began to ponder.

Previously, he had always used his Monarch Snake, but if he used it again now, it would be countered.

Therefore, he needed to switch out one of his creatures.

The opponent was most likely to use a Fire-type creature, so an idea formed in Qin Yun's mind...

"Battle begin!"

Both sides threw out their creature balls simultaneously this time.

On Qin Yun's side appeared a creature whose entire body resembled rock, its serpentine form composed entirely of stone.

It stood five or six meters tall, looking like a colossal behemoth.

It was precisely the creature Onix!

On Su Yu's side, meanwhile, was a creature clad in armor.

It was Su Yu's Lairon!

Lairon had now reached level 39 and was on the verge of evolving.

That was why Su Yu had chosen to send it out.

"So it's not a Fire-type creature after all?" Qin Yun mused inwardly.

Although his guess had been wrong, it mattered little.

His Onix possessed the dual attributes of Rock and Ground.

Su Yu's Lairon held the dual attributes of Steel and Rock.

In other words, the situation was essentially a fifty-fifty standoff.

Thinking this, Qin Yun felt a surge of confidence in his heart.

However, what he did not know was that Su Yu possessed even greater confidence than he did.

[Name: Onix (Ground, Rock)]

[Gender: ♂]

[Level: Lv.40 (Gym)]

[Ability: Rock Head]

[Potential: Quasi-Champion]

[Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (24), Defense (31), Special Defense (29), Speed (27)]

[Moves: Rock Throw, Rock Polish, Dragon Breath... Sandstorm, Iron Tail]

[Description: It burrows through the earth to advance, absorbing various hard objects along the way to make its body even more solid.]

This Onix's strength was not much greater than that of Lairon.
