Chapter 132

Lin Lin Guangxiang quickly shook his head, casting the thought aside.

Are you kidding? He is Lin Lin Guangxiang, the one poised to strike for the championship next year!

How could he possibly lose to a freshman!?

"Venusaur! Use Energy Ball!" Lin Lin Guangxiang shouted loudly.

"Salamence, let's use Flamethrower!"

The flower on Venusaur's back absorbed the surrounding green energy, condensing a emerald-green sphere of energy upon its body.

Meanwhile, Salamence exhaled, spewing forth a curtain of fire.

Seeing the fierce confrontation between the two, Liang Liang Liang Yuan issued no commands.

For him, these two fighting back and forth was the best possible outcome.

Moreover, Haxorus had no effective counter against Salamence soaring in the sky.

His moves were all close-combat techniques.

They could not be executed against aerial targets.

"Bang!" The clashing moves collided, erupting into thick smoke.

Within the smoke, a black shadow loomed indistinctly, flying toward Venusaur.

"Oh no!" Lin Lin Guangxiang immediately realized the danger.

Although Venusaur was huge in size, it was a special attack Pokémon.

If dragged into close-quarters combat, it would likely be at a disadvantage.

"Venusaur, Razor Leaf!"

"Bana!" Venusaur roared, and countless leaves sharp as blades instantly appeared around its body.

The leaves danced through the air, rushing toward the charging Salamence.

Inside the dust cloud, the moment Salamence burst through the smoke, its blood-red wings hardened.

It was precisely the move Iron Wing!

Facing the incoming barrage of leaf blades, Salamence remained completely unfazed.

It spun its body, transforming into a whirlwind.

When the Razor Leaf struck, it immediately emitted a series of crisp, clanging sounds.

Every single Razor Leaf was blocked by Iron Wing.

Subsequently, Salamence adjusted its posture and glided straight toward Venusaur.

With a "Bang!", the metal-like wings struck Venusaur directly, knocking it back several steps.

The moment it made contact, Salamence immediately gained altitude, causing the Haxorus, which had intended to ambush, to miss completely.

"Why couldn't you have come over sooner!" Lin Lin Guangxiang said to Liang Liang Liang Yuan, somewhat agitated and angry.

"My apologies, his speed was too fast; I didn't react in time," Liang Liang Liang Yuan said, scratching his head with an embarrassed smile.

But the truth of the matter was known only to him.

"Tch! Truly unreliable." Lin Lin Guangxiang spat lightly.

He decided to focus entirely on dealing with Su Yu! As for Liang Liang Liang Yuan, he might as well not exist!

"Since Salamence is so difficult to deal with while airborne, then let's put it to sleep! Venusaur, use Sleep Powder!"

"Bana." Venusaur raised the flower on its back, and instantly, countless fine particles scattered toward Salamence.

Under the sunlight, the fine powder shimmered with a crystalline glow.

However, although Lin Lin Guangxiang's idea was sound, Su Yu would not give him the chance!

"Salamence, use Hurricane!"

[Hurricane: Attacks the opponent by engulfing them in a fierce wind. May also cause confusion.]

Salamence let out a loud roar, then fiercely flapped its wings.

Instantly, a gale erupted across the field.

The fierce wind blew continuously from Salamence's wings.

Although Hurricane is a Flying-type move, in reality, it could be used to blow away all the pollen.

Venusaur's Sleep Powder was immediately swept up by the gale.

The move originally launched by Venusaur now threatened to make it the victim instead!

Not only Venusaur, but even Haxorus fell within the range of the Sleep Powder.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Lin Lin Guangxiang immediately shouted.

"Venusaur, use Safeguard!"

[Safeguard: The user creates a protective field that prevents status conditions for five turns.]

Mysterious light instantly illuminated Venusaur's body.

Covering it entirely.

When the Sleep Powder blew onto Venusaur, even if inhaled, it caused no effect whatsoever.

However, while Venusaur had Safeguard, Haxorus did not have such good fortune.

It lacked moves like Safeguard to prevent abnormal status conditions.

As the Sleep Powder blew over, Haxorus instantly inhaled it into its body and promptly fell asleep.

This move of Lin Lin Guangxiang's not only failed to affect Su Yu, but directly hypnotized his own teammate!

"Lin Lin Guangxiang, what exactly are you trying to do!" Liang Liang Liang Yuan said angrily at this moment.

However, Lin Lin Guangxiang merely snorted, too bothered to pay him any mind.

Seeing Lin Lin Guangxiang's expression, Liang Liang Liang Yuan did not bother seeking an explanation and inviting further humiliation.

"Venusaur, use Magical Leaf!"

[Magical Leaf: Scatters miraculous leaves that track the opponent. The attack is guaranteed to hit.]

Fluorescent leaves once again appeared around Venusaur.

He decided to use a guaranteed-hit skill to attack Salamence.

Magical Leaf flew toward Salamence like a tracking missile.

Su Yu also knew the effects of Magical Leaf, so he did not order Salamence to dodge.

Against such a skill, one must either crush it directly or use a defensive move.

Su Yu's choice was to crush it directly!

"Salamence, Fire Blast!"

"Sala!"

The blood-winged dragon opened its massive maw, and a character-shaped flame immediately appeared.

The blazing fire flew toward Venusaur, making the surrounding air feel heavy and stifling.

The Magical Leaf, originally aimed at Salamence, turned instantly to ash the moment it contacted Fire Blast.

The Magical Leaf became specks of gray powder drifting down from the sky.

Although Fire Blast had consumed the Magical Leaf, its power remained undiminished.

Fueled by the grass-type skill acting as kindling, his flames burned even more fiercely.

"Venusaur, use Protect!"

In this critical moment, Lin Lin Guangxiang immediately ordered a defense.

If this Fire Blast hit, Venusaur, being weak to fire, would surely suffer significant damage.

A white shield appeared before Venusaur.

Fire Blast struck the shield, emitting a hissing sound.

However, the success rate of Protect when used for the first time is extremely high.

Fire Blast was successfully blocked.

Seeing this, Lin Lin Guangxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the instant Fire Blast vanished, Salamence spat out another Dragon Pulse!

This energy sphere flew straight toward Venusaur.

Venusaur, having just dropped Protect, had no time to react and was struck squarely by this Dragon Pulse.

"Bang!"

Dragon Pulse exploded on Venusaur, causing it to cry out in pain.

"What!" Lin Lin Guangxiang had not expected this turn of events.
