Chapter 156

While the Feraligatr ceased its attack, a purple light erupted from Gardevoir's body.

A beam of purple light shot forth from her.

Caught completely off guard, the beam struck the Feraligatr squarely.

"Gator!"

Dizzy and disoriented, the Feraligatr felt its head spinning.

Stumbling blindly, it began running in circles across the arena.

This was the confusion effect inflicted by Gardevoir's Confusion Ray!

"Feraligatr! Snap out of it quickly!"

Shen Zhuang shouted anxiously.

However, the Feraligatr could barely hear what its Trainer was saying, capable only of lashing out randomly.

Yet such frantic attacks could never land on Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir, Calm Mind, then follow up with Zen Headbutt!"

Gardevoir floated in mid-air and closed her eyes.

Waves of energy began to surge around her body.

The moment Gardevoir opened her eyes, the aura radiating from her grew even more intense!

Using her psychic power, she manifested a colossal iron hammer before her.

At that very moment, the Feraligatr finally recovered from its confusion.

It immediately spotted its opponent, Gardevoir, and the attack forming before her.

The Feraligatr crossed its arms in front, attempting to block the incoming strike.

"Boom!"

The massive purple hammer slammed violently into the Feraligatr.

Like a siege weapon, the giant hammer sent the Feraligatr flying backward.

While the Feraligatr was still soaring through the air from the impact,

Gardevoir fired another Confusion Ray.

It struck the Feraligatr directly.

The Feraligatr collapsed onto the ground, unable to continue battling.

【Gardevoir defeated Feraligatr, gaining 1200 experience points!】

"Feraligatr has lost the ability to battle. Trainer Shen Zhuang, please send out your next Pokémon!"

The referee announced immediately.

At that moment, the venue instantly erupted in cheers.

In the online livestream room, viewers began discussing fervently.

"Wow! Su Yu's Gardevoir is completely dominating that Feraligatr! The Feraligatr doesn't stand a chance!"

"That Shiny Gardevoir is too strong! The Feraligatr is no match at all!"

"Indeed, there's a reason Su Yu is called the strongest freshman; his strength is no joke!"

"Shen Zhuang's Feraligatr performed well enough, but unfortunately, it ran into Su Yu."

The commentator also remarked in surprise, "Su Yu's Gardevoir perfectly demonstrates what a true Shiny Pokémon is,"

"Far superior in both strength and appearance!"

In the center of the arena, Shen Zhuang gritted his teeth, casting a wary glance at Su Yu's Gardevoir.

Then he recalled the Feraligatr and threw out his second Pokémon.

A level 35 Pidgeot.

"Pidgeot, use Whirlwind!"

The Pidgeot flapped its wings, generating gusts of fierce wind beneath them.

Layer upon layer of wind condensed together, seeming to form a massive tornado.

"Gardevoir, use Psychic to interrupt it!"

Gardevoir's eyes lit up; the Pidgeot, midway through its move, instantly froze as if encased in ice.

Its entire body became immobilized.

Even exerting all its strength, it could not break free from that binding force.

"Confusion Ray!"

From Gardevoir's body, a beam of beautiful purple light immediately shot out.

This beam struck the unsuspecting Pidgeot directly.

Though the Pidgeot took damage and the Psychic binding was released,

it no longer had the strength to even fly properly in the air.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhuang scratched his head and ears, at a loss for what to do.

Such is the nature of Psychic-type Pokémon; their Psychic moves leave many other Pokémon with no way to cope.

"Pidgeot, use Agility, then follow up with Wing Attack!"

Shen Zhuang could only order the Pidgeot to make a desperate last stand!

The Pidgeot fixed its sharp gaze on the Milotic before it.

In an instant, it turned into an afterimage and vanished from its original spot.

Around Gardevoir, the Pidgeot continuously circled in flight.

Searching for Gardevoir's opening.

Under his sharp observation, every move Gardevoir made was clear to him.

Finally, Pidgeot spotted an opportunity; his eyes lit up, and his wings instantly glowing with light, he charged forward.

"Gardevoir, dodge with Teleport!"

Pidgeot's speed was fast, yet Gardevoir's Teleport was faster!

The moment Pidgeot charged at Gardevoir, she sensed her opponent through her mental power.

Just as Pidgeot's wing attack swept past Gardevoir, she vanished as if evaporating into thin air.

Naturally, Pidgeot's attack struck nothing but empty air.

"Pi!"

Pidgeot was somewhat surprised.

However, when it searched for its opponent again, Gardevoir had already appeared right before it.

"Gar!"

A brilliant light erupted around Gardevoir.

A surge of purple Psychic-type energy instantly assaulted Pidgeot.

"Pi!"

Pidgeot's flight through the air halted abruptly; it was as if it had crashed into a thick wall, plummeting straight down from the sky.

Gardevoir did not let this opportunity slip.

While falling through the air, Pidgeot was struck again by a massive purple hammer flying toward it.

This attack slammed Pidgeot violently onto the ground.

【Gardevoir defeated Pidgeot, gaining 1300 experience points!】

Su Yu's Gardevoir had consecutively defeated two of Shen Zhuang's Pokémon.

At this moment, Shen Zhuang also realized clearly that defeating Su Yu would likely be difficult for him.

His Gardevoir was indeed troublesome.

However, Shen Zhuang had set a goal for himself: to defeat Su Yu's Gardevoir!

Even if it was just one Pokémon, surely he couldn't let himself, a senior university student, get swept by Su Yu in a one-against-four streak, could he?

That would be far too embarrassing.

So after recalling Pidgeot, Shen Zhuang immediately sent out his third Pokémon.

It was a level 33 Beedrill!

The stingers on Beedrill's forelegs gleamed with a cold light.

"Beedrill, use X-Scissor!"

"Buzz!" The Beedrill fanned its wings at high frequency, swiftly arriving beside Gardevoir.

It slashed a cross shape at Gardevoir using Twin Needle!

"Psychic, then Confusion!"

The same scene as before unfolded; Beedrill had intended to attack Gardevoir.

However, due to the level gap, it was instantly locked tight by Gardevoir's Psychic.

Unable to move.

A Confusion beam struck Beedrill once again, sending it flying immediately.

Meanwhile, Gardevoir followed up with Psychic to deal additional damage.

Beedrill instantly lost its ability to battle.

【Gardevoir defeated Beedrill, gaining 800 experience points!】

Thus, Shen Zhuang had only one Pokémon left.

After recalling Beedrill, he threw out his final Poké Ball!

A level 33 Sandslash!

"Sandslash, use Dig!"

"Don't let it escape, pull it up with Psychic!"

Sandslash bent low, just about to dig a hole with its twin claws.

When suddenly, it realized it seemed to be getting farther and farther from the ground.

It was directly hoisted into mid-air by Gardevoir's Psychic!

The Ground-type Sandslash, unable to touch the ground, began struggling in panic.

In the air, it felt absolutely no sense of security.

However, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

How could its strength possibly struggle free from Gardevoir's Psychic?

This time, Gardevoir unleashed the Grass-type move Energy Ball!

As a Ground-type Pokémon, Sandslash would take double damage when hit by a Grass-type move.

Therefore, the moment this emerald-green Energy Ball struck Sandslash.

Sandslash immediately cried out in pain and was sent flying.

Upon landing, Gardevoir promptly followed up with Psychic and Zen Headbutt.

Sandslash, which had just struggled to its feet, lost consciousness in the blink of an eye.

【Gardevoir defeated Sandslash, gaining 600 experience points!】

"Sandslash has lost the ability to battle; all four of Shen Zhuang's Pokémon have been defeated. The winner is contestant Su Yu!"

The referee immediately announced the result!

In the commentary booth, the commentator shouted excitedly into the microphone.

"Wow! Is this real?"

"Contestant Su Yu actually defeated all of opponent Shen Zhuang's Pokémon with a single Shiny Gardevoir, sweeping through all four!"

"This is truly terrifying; is this the strength of contestant Su Yu!?"

Inside Tianxing Gymnasium, everyone looking at Su Yu's Gardevoir was jaw-dropped!

Although they felt Su Yu could win, they never expected him to claim victory in such a terrifying manner!

When this scene arrived, everyone's eyes widened.

A freshman had actually swept through four opponents, defeating a senior student!

Soon, the audience reacted, erupting in earth-shattering cheers.

"Su Yu!! Awesome!! A four-Pokémon sweep!!"

"Holy crap, so strong!! I'm dumbfounded! How can a freshman be this powerful!?"

"Hiss... Such incredible strength; facing some top-tier students shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"I think with Su Yu's strength, entering the top hundred is no problem!"

In the online livestream room, many viewers discussed in astonishment.

"He actually swept a senior student four-to-zero; are you sure their identities aren't reversed?"

"Damn! What kind of monster is this! I didn't expect him to actually pull it off!"

"Sweeping four opponents right at the start of the tournament; I dare not imagine what will happen next! Moreover, Su Yu still hasn't sent out his ace Pokémon!"

120: Numerous Strong Opponents! Widespread Online Discussion!

On the battlefield, after defeating her opponent, Gardevoir curved her eyes and cried out happily.

"Gar-de!"

Gardevoir used Teleport, appearing instantly before Su Yu and leaning against him.

Witnessing this scene, countless viewers expressed their envy.

"Let go of Gardevoir—she's my wife!!"

"No! Don't get close to him! Gardevoir, boo hoo hoo..."

"It's over, my wife has been defiled; I don't want to live anymore..."

Many viewers wept bitterly.

Meanwhile, Su Yu's opponent, Shen Zhuang, silently recalled his Pokémon into their Poké Balls upon seeing this.

He then walked off the battlefield.

The University League adopts a single-match elimination system, meaning that once you lose, there is no second chance!

Thus, Shen Zhuang could be considered to have lost the ability to continue fighting.

His match ended on the very first day!

After concluding his match, Su Yu returned to the contestants' seating area.

At this moment, everyone's gaze upon Su Yu was filled with vigilance and shock.

Originally, they had thought that with Su Yu's status as a freshman, no matter how monstrous his talent, he would only be so capable.

But they never expected him to be this strong!

That single Shiny Gardevoir made many feel that if they were the ones stepping onto the field, they too would fail!

Therefore, as a freshman, Su Yu became an object of vigilance for all the contestants.

However, Su Yu paid no heed to others' opinions.

He only needed to do his absolute best!

In the time that followed, Su Yu participated in many more matches.

The opponents he encountered in these matches were not particularly strong.

Given the sheer number of university students in the Summer Nation, the probability of encountering a top-tier contestant on the first day was not high.

Most were contestants whose Pokémon were around level 38.

In every match, Su Yu swept through four opponents in a row, relying on his Shiny Gardevoir to defeat them all.

It had to be said that as a Psychic-type Pokémon, Gardevoir was simply an overwhelming force against Pokémon weaker than herself.

Her Psychic powers left Pokémon of lower levels completely helpless!

Gardevoir could practically be called a divine tool for crushing weaklings!

【Gardevoir defeated Venusaur, gaining 1200 experience points!】

【Gardevoir defeated Vigoroth, gaining 1100 experience points!】

【Gardevoir defeated Swellow, gaining 1300 experience points!】

All along the way, Su Yu displayed an overwhelming dominance.

This caused the spectators who had doubted Su Yu's capabilities as a freshman to shut their mouths!

Countless students of Tianyun University began cheering loudly for Su Yu!

Thus, the day's competition passed, with Su Yu achieving a flawless record thanks to Gardevoir!

Moreover, he had swept through four opponents in every single match!

Instantly, Su Yu stirred up tremendous waves of shock across the internet.
