Chapter 13
"Squirtle!" "Torchic!"
A red figure and a blue figure appeared on the battlefield.
"Chamo!" "Squirt!"
After the two Pokémon appeared, they looked at each other with eyes full of fighting spirit.
Right from the start, Liang Liang Wensheng impatiently issued his command.
"Heh heh, Su Yu, the one who will win this time is definitely me! Squirtle, use Water Gun on Torchic!"
Water Gun could deal double damage to Torchic, making it the perfect opening move.
Although Su Yu's Torchic was at a higher level than the Squirtle, he still dared not be overconfident.
"Torchic, use Agility to dodge! Then get close to Squirtle and use Scratch."
Previously, Su Yu had only battled weak Pokémon, so he had never had Torchic use Agility.
This time, Su Yu decided to let Torchic go all out!
After using Agility, Torchic's speed became incredibly fast.
It leaped to the side, dodging the Water Gun attack like a nimble loach.
Immediately after, Torchic stepped forward on its two claws, closing in on Squirtle.
In the blink of an eye, Torchic reached Squirtle's side, lifted one claw, and slashed at it.
"Squirtle, quickly use Withdraw, then tackle!"
Liang Liang Wensheng was extremely surprised that Torchic could use Agility.
However, he immediately issued his counter-command.
"Squirt," Squirtle cried out in response, then withdrew into its hard shell.
Relying on its shell's defense, Squirtle took Torchic's attack head-on, yet it suffered almost no damage.
Not only that, but after withdrawing, Squirtle spun around, using its shell to ram into Torchic.
This move perfectly combined defense and offense.
"Torchic, jump to the left to dodge."
Seeing Squirtle withdraw, Su Yu knew he needed to avoid its sharp edge, so he ordered Torchic to evade.
Relying on its extreme speed, Torchic easily dodged Squirtle's attack once again.
As this round ended, Torchic's Blaze ability activated, and its speed increased once more!
Merely this brief exchange caused the audience present to gasp in astonishment.
"Damn, Su Yu's Torchic is so fast! It actually learned Agility; this must be an egg move!"
"Liang Liang Wensheng isn't bad either; his reaction was very quick, and ordering Squirtle to Withdraw was brilliant."
"Holy crap, watching them fight makes me feel like I'm no match for them at all; if I faced either of them, I'd probably lose."
"I didn't expect this match to be so exciting."
At this moment, the students of Class A were all holding their breath for Su Yu.
Although they trusted Su Yu, given the dual disadvantages of type matchup and stamina, they still held little hope for him.
"Great job, Su Yu!"
"Go Su Yu!"
The people of Class A cheered for Su Yu one after another.
016: Victory! The Crowd's Astonishment!
In the center of the battlefield, the fight between Su Yu and Liang Liang Wensheng continued.
Relying on its super-fast speed, Torchic maintained the initiative throughout.
Although Squirtle had the type advantage, it simply couldn't land a hit on Torchic.
It was unable to inflict even a sliver of damage on Torchic.
"Torchic, use Growl to disrupt Squirtle!"
Torchic immediately opened its mouth and let out a loud cry.
Hearing Torchic's imposing roar, Squirtle couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Squirtle, don't let it affect you! Since Water Gun can't hit it, let's just use Tackle directly!"
Liang Liang Wensheng gritted his teeth and issued the command.
He hadn't anticipated that Su Yu's Torchic would be so troublesome.
He had thought that after so many battles, Torchic would already be exhausted.
But now it seemed that Torchic had consumed very little stamina at all!
Since Squirtle's Water Gun was useless, he could only have Squirtle engage in close combat.
Upon hearing the command, Squirtle stretched out its neck.
It stored power in its legs, launched itself forward, and rammed its head straight into Torchic.
"Hmph." Seeing this, Su Yu sneered inwardly.
He had just used Growl to lower Squirtle's Attack, so its Tackle posed no threat to Torchic now.
"Torchic, let's charge too! Use Flame Charge!"
This was the move Torchic had learned when it leveled up earlier; although it was a Fire-type move, it had nothing to fear from clashing with Squirtle.
Torchic continuously burned with flame energy, and a ball of fire erupted around its body!
Wrapped in crimson flames, Torchic made even the air feel scorching hot.
"Chamo!" Having finished charging its energy, Torchic charged straight at Squirtle's tackle!
Instantly, a ball of fire collided with Squirtle.
"Boom!!"
After the collision, Torchic spun several times in the air before landing safely on the ground.
Squirtle, however, fell from the sky, crashing hard onto the ground.
"Squirtle!"
Squirtle let out a mournful cry.
Although the fire attack caused him limited damage, Torchic's higher level still managed to inflict some injuries on him.
Coupled with his fall from the sky, he was seeing stars and feeling dizzy.
"Torchic, end this match! Use Scratch!"
Su Yu issued the final command.
Torchic swiftly rushed before Squirtle, its claws glowing with white light; after two swift slashes, circles appeared in Squirtle's eyes.
[Torchic defeated Squirtle, gaining 70 experience points!]
"Squirtle is unable to battle, therefore the winner is Su Yu from Class A, Grade Three!"
Acting as the referee, Wang Wang Yubo immediately announced the victory upon seeing the outcome decided.
Instantly, the battle arena erupted into a clamor!
"Holy crap, Su Yu's Torchic actually won! And so decisively! Is this for real?"
"Didn't Su Yu just get his Pokémon? Why does Torchic seem superior to Squirtle in every aspect?"
"Damn, Liang Liang Wensheng couldn't even win this? Before he left, didn't he swear up and down that he would definitely win?"
"What an exciting match! It's hard to believe this was fought by two people who just obtained their Pokémon."
People from other classes began discussing among themselves.
Seeing Su Yu secure yet another victory, the people of Class A all cheered loudly.
"Su Yu! Awesome!!!"
"Damn, a streak of six! That's a streak of six! Su Yu is too strong!"
"A streak of six! A streak of six!!"
Seeing this, people from other classes asked in confusion.
"How is it a streak of six? Wasn't this just one match?"
A person from Class A responded proudly, "You didn't know, did you? Before Su Yu even stepped onto the field, his Torchic had already defeated five opponents in a row in our class!"
"Liang Liang Wensheng tried to take advantage of the situation, wanting to challenge Su Yu while Torchic's stamina was low."
"But he never expected Su Yu's Torchic to be this strong; it went straight into the match without any rest in between! So it counts as a streak of six!"
